This is what a fairy should be like

Going to find a paradise?

When this matter was conveyed to the county government officials, most of them thought it was a bit ridiculous, and of course some of them were very interested.

But whether you like it or not, the magistrate's order has been issued.

Lu Jing ordered a dozen servants in total, and they commandeered five boats from Wuling Pier. Together with the boatmen, they set off from Wuling Port.

The waterway to Taohuayuan is along the main waterway of Wuling River, so the speed is relatively fast when setting off.

Zhao Chenyu and Lu Jing were both on the largest main boat, while the small boat was operating nearby. The former repeated what Tao Yuanming said before to others, mainly to the boatman.

The boatman relied on his familiarity with the waterways and judged how to sail based on what Zhao Chenyu said.

After about half a day of boating, all five boats left the main waterway and entered the more complicated winding waters in the mountains.

At this time, the small boat had already accelerated. The four small boats took advantage of their speed to explore the path in several directions, while the big boat stayed in one place for the time being.

Now the boat was in the deep mountain waters. Zhao Chenyu and the people on the boat were listening to the apes and birds in the surrounding mountains and forests. They felt quite ethereal and quiet, and they were also looking forward to the Peach Blossom Land.

Although I had many complaints about the orders from above before I came here, as I got closer and closer, my sense of anticipation became stronger and stronger. Who doesn’t yearn for the beauty of the Peach Blossom Land?

------------------

At about the same time, in the private school in Hidden Immortal Valley, students were writing one by one, repeatedly writing the few words they had just learned.

Zhuang Lin sat behind the master's desk, concentrating quietly, sensing the subtle changes in the valley.

Ever since it was determined that the Yinxian Valley as a whole was in the Jin Dynasty, Zhuang Lin had been trying to feel the formations in the entire valley.

Compared with the rough use that he was overwhelmed with the first time, Zhuang Lin now hopes to understand and make full use of this unique formation in the Hidden Immortal Valley.

After all, in addition to the gibbous moon valley itself, several nearby peaks are also included in the formation. All of these are simply the legendary blessed land and cave.

If this could really be used as the foundation for immortal cultivation, it would be perfect!

In fact, the formation context of the valley is quite easy for Zhuang Lin to explore now. During this period, he has accumulated enough experience. He can feel the progress every day, and the feeling every day is clearer than the day before.

Of course, this is not only due to Zhuang Lin's improved understanding of battle techniques, but also because his cultivation level has begun to improve during this period.

It is indispensable to use your free time outside of teaching and educating people to walk around the valley in person, feel some details, and feel the resonance between your own spirituality and the natural spirituality in it.

At this moment, Zhuang Lin's mind was walking along the places in the valley where the natural spirituality was more obvious, and the flow of spiritual energy accelerated wherever he passed.

The feeling he had when he first saw the law of heaven and earth appeared again. Zhuang Lin seemed to see many magnificent colors in his consciousness, and there was even haze like mist surrounding the valley.

Such steps have been carried out every day recently.

But something is different today. As Zhuang Lin's perception deepens, many nodes in the valley begin to show some light, and the spirituality belonging to the world of this valley clearly begins to become active.

Zhuang Lin's mind moved slightly, restraining himself from immediately following this spiritual commonality.

This was the first time in this period that he could clearly feel the formation starting to move from the smallest details, and it was transmitted through the transformation of yin and yang.

But Zhuang Lin wanted control rather than rough activation.

Sure enough, with Zhuang Lin's intervention, the movement in the valley, like his mind, gradually calmed down from the fluctuations. It did not "shake the ground and the mountains" like last time. The stars in the sky naturally did not appear, but the rhythm did not disappear.

Zhuang Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly. After so long of groping, he finally found the feeling!

At this moment, in Zhuang Lin's perception, he seemed to be carefully touching the rhythmic lines, and it was as if he was tuning a special musical instrument between heaven and earth with his invisible hands and adapting to it.

Good guy, the formation is indeed not perfect, but it is not lacking!

The old Taoist Master had already completely laid out the formation, and it was precisely because of this that his life declined rapidly. Perhaps he had the idea of ​​using the special terrain of the valley to activate the formation?

The more this moment happened, the more Zhuang Lin felt amazed.

Because the old Taoist master completely relied on the power of the mountains and rivers to set up the formation in a physical way, and he was able to get it all right, or at least the deviation was not big. How much effort did it take?

The formation really took off, although it was Zhuang Lin's attempt.

But before that, just relying on the constructed valley pattern, the power of this formation can definitely affect the spiritual energy.

But based on time, and based on the mystery of the formation, did it take just a few years for the Hidden Immortal Valley to accumulate a little aura of heaven and earth? At least it is completely incomparable to the Yinxian Valley in the Jin Dynasty.

Zhuang Lin's thoughts were flowing, but his mind kept stretching.

Gradually, a certain rhythm between Zhuang Lin and the Hidden Immortal Valley went from close to consistent.

At this moment, Zhuang Lin seemed to rapidly expand his perception through this feeling, suddenly extending to the edge of the fog, as if he could "see clearly" everything within and outside the valley in a huge range from the perspective of feeling!

At the same time, some formation information that Zhuang Lin had not yet explored clearly appeared in his mind at this moment.

Zhuang Lin couldn't help but feel his mind trembling slightly, which also caused the spiritual energy in the entire perception range to change, and even caused a turmoil in the mountain wind within the range...

It's no wonder Zhuang Lin didn't stabilize just now, the range is wider than imagined!

Just when Zhuang Lin was delighted that he had truly mastered the formation, he suddenly made a new discovery.

"Um?"

Vaguely, Zhuang Lin saw the ships from Wuling County and the officials on them. In just a moment, he guessed the purpose of these people's arrival.

After all, it was written in "Peach Blossom Spring"...

However, it was not as written in "Peach Blossom Spring" that Wuling fishermen led people to search for it. After all, Tao Yuanming was not at the top.

Zhuang Lin slowly opened his eyes. At this time, some lazy students immediately straightened their movements and wrote carefully with their pens, for fear that the master would come to check their handwriting.

However, even though he was well aware of the students' little actions and even their thoughts, it was obvious that Zhuang Lin had no intention of going down to check the homework at this moment.

Zhuang Lin found the formation paper that he had casually drawn before and spread it on the table.

Then Zhuang Lin smiled slightly, dipped a little ink in the inkstone on one side with his index finger, and lightly drew a circle on the edge of the paper following his feelings.

At this moment, the heart and the formation are connected, even if it is an impromptu graffiti, it can be transformed into a bond by being able to follow the heart!

There was only a little bit of ink on the paper, but the ink flowing along Zhuang Lin's fingers seemed to be an endless stream, forming a complete circular closed loop.

And this full ink ring seems to be too much ink, extending continuously on the rice paper.

A simple stroke not only triggered the formation, Zhuang Lin also used his own spirituality to make up for some subtle and disharmonious gaps in the original formation from a spiritual level.

I am also a part of the formation!

In the process, the paper seemed to melt into the ink and disappeared directly on the table...

------------------

On the other side of the mountain waterway, a small boat came back and greeted the big ship, indicating that it had found a marked waterway.

The big boat immediately carried Lu Jing and others, and they all moved forward along the small boat.

"Sir, there are marks on the trees by the water ahead, and the direction of the water has also changed. There is still some mist ahead, but as long as you follow me, sir!"

The boatman on the small boat shouted to the big boat to follow him.

Lu Jing did not wait for the other boats to come back and directly ordered them to go over.

As the two boats traveled together, sure enough, after entering a certain area of ​​water, the direction of the water reversed, so that the speed of the boats also slowed down a lot.

But this just ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and even the boatman worked harder than before.

Soon, someone on the big ship also discovered the mark on the nearby shore.

"Look over there, a piece of bark has been cut -"

Lu Jing and others looked in the direction of the speaker's finger, and sure enough they saw a tree on the nearby shore that had been marked, which also cheered everyone up.

The most excited person was Zhao Chenyu.

"Quickly, follow the mark!"

"I know Zhao Langjun——"

The boatman shouted and began to row vigorously.

But unconsciously, the surrounding fog began to become thicker and thicker.

So when we get to the back, we could see two or three marks in the mist before and after, but gradually we can only see one. If there is a branch in the water at this time, it is often easy to go wrong.

The waterways in the mountains are also becoming more and more complex here.

We went back and forth several times and made mistakes. Both the big boat and the small boat were lost in the fog.

At first, you can still hear each other's shouts, but as you get a little further away, the echo in the mountains makes it difficult to distinguish the source of the sound.

Perhaps another party went astray, causing the following echoes to be inaudible...

The policemen on the big ship kept shouting.

"Boatman - Brother He - where are you -"

The same shout echoed in the nearby mountains, as if this was the mountain's response.

------------------

At the same time, in the Hidden Immortal Valley Academy, Zhuang Lin sensed everything through the formation. Although he could not see it with the naked eye, he learned what happened from another novel angle.

Zhuang Lin shook his head slightly, and then thought. At this moment, the spiritual energy in the valley flowed with the spiritual formation, and the world seemed to begin to tremble.

At this moment, the moon-shaped valley reflects the sky, and the stars emerge one after another during the day. The stars change, the sky changes, and the earth changes...

The upside-down shaking of the universe only existed in Zhuang Lin's perception. No one in the Hidden Immortal Valley noticed it, including Liu Hongyu, who was writing seriously at this moment.

------------------

On those boats exploring the Peach Blossom Land in the deep mountains and waters, the people who got lost repeatedly in the heavy fog seemed to have gradually given up their struggle and had to stay where they were for the time being.

"The fog seems to have faded?"

Someone said this accidentally, which quickly attracted the attention of others.

"It seems so..." "Is it an illusion?"

"Wait a little longer?"

It seems that because the sun has risen to the center, the fog is fading faster under the scorching sun.

"Look, the mark!"

Someone on the boat saw the mark on the distant shore again, and everyone suddenly became excited again.

The boat continued to move forward, and the oar seemed to become more relaxed in the excitement. This time, the obstruction of the fog became lighter, and everything went smoothly, although it still took several wrong detours to mark the distance...

Another half hour later, the big boat stopped at the end of an inlet.

This is the third time they have stopped like this.

The boat was obviously following the signs, but it often encountered dead ends. Since there was no peach blossom forest, the road was naturally wrong, so the boatman turned to the previous branch.

But no matter how many times I changed, I still couldn't find the peach blossom forest, let alone the kind of mountain gorge on the shore that I could pass through. Continuing forward would either lead to a dead end, or go back to some water area before...

Even the direction of the water flow has changed unconsciously, but people who have gone around the road many times can no longer tell the order, and it is even more difficult to determine whether it was an illusion just now.

When the fog thinned to a certain extent, several other small boats had already gathered together, but they also found nothing.

The sun began to set, and people's excitement had cooled down.

Zhao Chenyu, who had been standing for a long time, sat on the bow of the boat with some dejection.

"How could it be, how could I not find it? Did Yuan Liang lie to me? How could he lie to me..."

Zhao Chenyu murmured and looked into the water, only to see pieces of peach blossoms remaining in the water.

"Peach blossoms, there are peach blossoms!"

Zhao Chenyu's mood was a little more excited, and then he became slumped again. The fog was gone, but he no longer had the feeling of finding a paradise just now.

"The peach blossoms are still flowing in the water, but why can't they find the source of peach blossoms..."

It was foggy before, and the people on the boat were only looking for signs to find their way, so no one paid too much attention to the water. Now after hearing Zhao Chenyu's words, they all carefully looked at the nearby water.

"There are really peach blossoms..." "But just these few petals are not enough evidence."

"Perhaps it fell from a wild peach tree on a nearby mountain?"

Lu Jing on one side also looked into the water. Sure enough, there were some peach blossom petals floating in the water. He raised his head and looked around. The mountains and rivers were mesmerizing again. On the cliffs, although there were red flowers, most of them were rhododendrons in the mountains. , there are no peach trees in full bloom, let alone a peach forest.

Only the chirping of the surrounding animals echoed in the mountains...

"I've searched all over, go back..."
