Fantasy world

Walking out of the small village into the wilderness. Zhang Xiaolian seemed to suddenly remember something. She gave me a hard tug. Pull me onto a fork in the road

"Walk! I'll take you to a place!"

"Where to go? It’s getting late!"

"fine! Just a few steps away!"

I didn't say anything else and followed Zhang Xiaolian silently, and we didn't go very far. Zhang Xiaolian stopped. I looked around and saw a field and wasteland in front of me. I didn't see anything special.

"arrive? Right here?"

"yes!"

"This - what is this place? What's so special?"

"Look at that!"

Following the direction indicated by Zhang Xiaolian, I looked carefully for a long time. Sure enough, I saw a piece of wasteland, rising abruptly from the vast wilderness, as if a small hill had bulged out of the flat ground for no reason. Not to mention, this is really a bit strange. This is a water town. Plains, where are the mountains?

"This place is called Ying Fang Terrace. You’ve been decentralized for so long and you haven’t heard of it?"

"Is this the falconry platform? I think I’ve heard of it! It’s also quite magical!"

"Tell me what you heard."

"I heard that this place was called Eagle Flying Platform because Guan Gong released eagles here. This is nothing, but I also heard that there is a tree spirit in this place, and it often appears. Therefore, the local people regard this place as very sacred, and many people secretly come here to burn incense and worship Buddha. Isn't this just feudal superstition?"

"What feudal superstition? Don't think that you are a revolutionary and that all country people are fools. In fact, no one really believes in feudal superstition. It is just a kind of spiritual sustenance and hope."

"That's it!"

"What do you think?"

"I have no idea!"

"If you don’t know, don’t think you are smart. You are an educated youth, but now that you have been decentralized, you must learn to do as the locals do! Be kind to others and be down-to-earth. What country people look down upon the most are those talkative and frivolous slickers."

"oh! Secretary Zhang’s sincere teachings will definitely be engraved in my heart!"

"go! This is glib talk!"

After Zhang Xiaolian finished speaking, she led me through the crop fields, over several ditches and ridges, and finally arrived at the foot of the Eagle Flying Platform.

Standing under the Eagle Flying Platform, Zhang Xiaolian carefully told various legends and stories about the Eagle Flying Platform.

The legends and stories about the Eagle Flying Platform are more widely circulated and are connected with Cao Cao's defeat on Huarong Road. Legend has it that this platform was where Guan Gong released the eagle, so it was called the Eagle Flying Platform.

Guan Gong is very important to the entire Chinese people. In their hearts, they are all gods. Almost all places with Chinese people in the world have Guandi temples, which also shows the status of Guan Gong in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Perhaps because of this, the poor and lower-middle peasants here also deliberately connect the Eagle Tower with Guan Gong. Together. It makes this deserted platform more sacred and mysterious. Perhaps because of this, the locals also regard the Eagle Flying Platform as a place to pray to gods and worship Buddha. People often sneak in secretly and build some small tents in the weeds on the halfway slope. Taiwan, secretly burning incense and worshiping Buddha there. This is a typical feudal superstition and is never allowed by the party's policy. The brigade often organizes personnel to clean up. If anyone is accidentally caught on the spot, he will be arrested and paraded through the streets. Criticize and criticize.

Among the common people, in addition to the legend of Guan Gong, there is also a more mysterious legend about the Eagle Flying Platform, which is the"wolf tree spirit" on the Eagle Flying Platform. The

Jianghan Plain is formed by the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River. Plain. Here are the water network lakes and reed swamps. The Eagle Flying Platform is an isolated and sudden high platform rising up in the water network lake area. From a distance, it looks like a lonely hill. The deserted platform is surrounded by thatch as deep as a person's height. Not a single tree grew. But just at the top of the eagle-flying platform, several more trees grew together, slender and tall reaching into the sky. These few trees were not mixed at all, they were all very popular with everyone. A familiar broad-leaved shrub, paper mulberry.

Paper mulberry tree is not a good material, and ordinary people hardly take it seriously. Usually, this kind of tree does not grow very high, with broad branches and leaves, and looks like a tree. A big mushroom. The impression left on people by paper mulberry is probably that its leaves can be used to feed pigs.

However, when the locals saw the paper mulberry trees on the falconry platform, they felt an inexplicable magic. There is almost no crown visible on the paper mulberry trees on the Yingtai, and the trunks are even more slender and twisting upwards, like soaring white poplars with their heads in the clouds. Moreover, just these paper mulberry trees, from the mouths of the old people, Here, no one knows when it grew, and no one has ever seen it grow taller or thicker. So, didn’t these paper mulberry trees grow into giant trees?

So, about the wolfberry tree The legend of the fairy began to be slowly interpreted, and various vivid and magical versions were deduced. It is said that these paper mulberry trees are fairies from the sky who descended to earth. During the day, they did not want to interact with mortals, so they turned into trees to show people, and they turned into trees at night. They return to human form and sing and dance on the falconry platform; it is also said that these paper mulberry trees are mysterious elves who rest and sleep there during the day and only come out to stretch their muscles at night; also, it is said that these wolfberry tree spirits were originally from ancient times. The slender-waisted beauties were reincarnated, but they did not choose a carrier to attach themselves to, so they had to temporarily attach themselves to these paper mulberry trees. In this way, they could not come out to show off to others during the day, and could only come out to relax at night.

In short, the eagle-flying platform Paper mulberry, then it is not a simple paper mulberry, but a"wolfberry spirit". Whether it's a human spirit, a tree spirit or a goblin, it's all spirit. During the day, people see trees, but at night they become beautiful women or elves, and they come out to sing and dance.

"Why! Secretary Zhang! Are you really taking me to see the tree spirit?"

"how? Dare you?"

"No no no! I can not! In this wilderness, I feel so scared even before it gets dark!"

"You are a grown man, how can you be so timid?"

"There is no distinction between male and female, old or young, whether you are brave or timid!"

"That! I have always been curious about the legend of the tree spirit! I really want to talk about it! Today is also a rare opportunity. How about we wait until dark and see the tree spirits before going back?"

"No, no! I'm really scared!"

"Oh well! You go back first, I'll leave after watching the tree spirit!"Zhang Xiaolian seemed to be careless. In fact, I had no choice, because it was almost dusk. How could I dare to walk back alone. I had no choice but to bravely accompany her to see the Gou Shu. Fine.

Zhang Xiaolian used her will to unify my thoughts. When we continued to discuss the next step, I saw that she was also a little timid. We didn't dare to stay at the foot of the eagle platform for a long time. We hurriedly retreated to the place where we first stopped.. Then, I found another obstacle bunker. I learned the way of reconnaissance behind enemy lines in the movie. I stayed motionless and stared into the distance.

Night fell quickly, but fortunately there was a bit of moonlight tonight. And the falconry platform in the distance, Apart from the gentle breeze, the rustling of leaves, the chirping of insects, and the fluttering of birds, no other changes can be seen. Although it is summer, at night, the breeze is no longer cool, but cool. In addition, dinner has not been eaten yet , I quickly relaxed from the initial fighting state. Zhang Xiaolian seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. She also sighed and sat on the ground in frustration.
