"Name?"
"Liu Daozhi."
"Okay Liu Ziji, your home address?"
"What does this mean?"
"gender?"
"..."
Mu Yu who was on the side really couldn't stand listening anymore, and slapped Mi Yang on the head who was writing and drawing.
"I asked you to interrogate me, but you still resorted to criminal investigation?"
I picked up the little notebook he had recorded in, and when I saw the turtle drawn on it, I wanted to give this traitor a few more blows.
"You said you are Liu Ziji, how can you prove it?"
The tied up Old Liu looked at the young man in front of him, who seemed to be the talker of this group of people.
"There's no way to prove it," he said.
Mu Yu was also surprised by his answer and asked again: "Do you know that your answer may lead to annihilation? Don't think that because you are an undead, there is really no way to kill you."
Hearing that the other party wanted to kill him, Liu Ziji's expression changed slightly, but he still said calmly: "Even if I say something to prove my identity, will you really believe it? Or do you have anything to verify it?"
This is true. In fact, Mu Yu has never thought about actually finding out the identity of the other party. Anyway, he only believes what the other party says, and it is up to him to judge whether it is true or false.
"We just talked so much, and you heard it all. I was observing you during this process, but you were not surprised at all by our guess. So, are the things we said true?"
Liu Ziji hesitated on this question, but still said: "It's true."
"Do you know Tao Yuanming?"
This sudden question also confused him. Shouldn't this brother continue to ask himself about the situation in this place? Why is Tao Yuanming involved?
But he still replied: "I don't know."
"Then he can still write about you in his article?"
"What article?"
At this time, Mi Yang came out again and interjected: "In the Taiyuan period of Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling were fishing. They walked along the stream and forgot how far the road was. Suddenly they came across a peach blossom forest, crossing the bank..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Yu kicked him out.
Do you want to do it again?
"Tao Yuanming wrote a story about the Peach Blossom Spring, which contains scenes from this place, and it also mentions your search for the Peach Blossom Spring."
Mu Yu summarized the matter in Liu Ziji's article in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
"Liu Ziji of Nanyang, a noble scholar, heard about it and went there happily. However, he failed and ended up seeking illness, and no one cared about him afterwards."
At this time, the sound of reciting the article came again, and it was Mi Yang who was kicked away. This guy is really conspicuous.
Mu Yu glanced at him, looked at Liu Ziji again and said, "You heard it too. If you didn't find it, you died of illness."
"So, you are already dead, why do you still appear here and become the undead?"
Mu Yu's eyes were locked on Liu Ziji, and a cold aura enveloped him. This aura not only had a deterrent effect, but could also detect the other person's heart rate, tone of voice and other reactions. It was like a lie detector. This is why Mu Yu Yu was confident that what the other party said would be able to eliminate the falsehood and preserve the truth, but if the other party dared to say something nonsense, he would suffer.
Liu Ziji also sensed the power of this aura. Not to mention being tied up, he might not be his opponent even in his prime.
So he said truthfully: "Actually, I heard the fisherman talk about the Peach Blossom Spring first."
After saying this, Liu Ziji's eyes showed pain: "I was the one who harmed the entire people in Taoyuan Realm."
Mu Yu could feel that the pain on the other side was not fake. He had experienced the same situation just now, but the other side was a little less painful than him.
At this time, everyone came over and listened to Liu Ziji's story about the Taoyuan.
"Brothers, should I put you down first?"
With others surrounding me like this, I was still tied to a tree, so I felt ashamed of myself.
"Stop thinking about it and start your story quickly." Mu Yu immediately gave up his idea. Since this guy is an undead guy, he is an enemy and not a friend. It's one thing to listen to your story. Let go. That's another story for you.
Liu Ziji also sighed helplessly and started his own story.
"That day, I was just having a drink, but I didn't expect that there was a fisherman at the table next to me who was talking about paradise with the help of wine. I was quite interested in this kind of thing, so I went up to discuss it with him."
"After that, the two of us went to the peach orchard together to see if what he said was true. I entered the peach orchard that day and was shocked by the scene in front of me."
There was a look of reminiscence in Liu Ziji's eyes, that was the scene that was truly called a paradise.
“I received their warm hospitality there, and I longed for the life here, so I settled here.”
Liu Ziji's statement was different from the description in Peach Blossom Spring, but Mu Yu and others did not interrupt his words, but listened quietly.
Liu Ziji also continued: "Later, the fisherman came here again a few years later and told us about the changes that had taken place outside."
"It was a year of great famine. It didn't rain outside, there was no harvest, and locusts were raging. People eating each other for thousands of miles in the red land was the best portrayal of that time. The fisherman had no choice but to come here again to ask for help."
"When I heard his description, I just thought it was ridiculous! At that time, I didn't know that human nature would be so ugly before the disaster, but because the people on this land had no food, escaping would be nothing but death, so I immediately Just discuss it with the village chief.”
When Liu Ziji said this, his body began to tremble uncontrollably. This was the worst decision he had ever made: "At that time, the village already had self-sufficient capital and had saved a lot of food, so I proposed to use some of the food to The village chief also agreed to provide relief to people outside, but he didn’t want to..."
Every time he thought of that scene, Liu Ziji's heart was filled with pain.
That day.
In the early morning light, the peaceful village wakes up.
However, the atmosphere today is very different from usual. The tranquility of the village was broken by an uneasy commotion. The chickens in the chicken pen flapped their wings and the cows by the stream croaked urgently.
The villagers noticed something strange. They stopped their farm work and listened.
In the distant valley, there was a low and continuous roar, as if muffled thunder was vibrating in the distance.
In the background of this sound, there are also some sharp metal sounds, like swords being waved or shields clashing.
The entrance to the village, the only road leading to the outside world, was already filled with dust.
Through the flying dust, an army could be vaguely seen approaching. Their flags fluttered in the wind with a symbol of terror. Their figures looked distorted and huge in the morning light, as if they were a harbinger of destruction.
The villagers began to panic, and the women and children were so frightened that they cried. The men clutched their tools, trying to find a way to resist.
The old people gathered together and discussed where this army came from.
However, they all knew in their hearts that this peaceful village was about to face a brutal invasion.
At this moment, the intruder's figure was clearly visible.
Their faces were full of cruelty and greed, and their eyes shone with lust for the village.
They brandished weapons and shouted words of killing everyone and looting everyone.
Their crowds trample the ground like a prelude to the end.
Faced with such a scene, the villagers felt extremely scared.
However, the villagers did not give up and decided to unite to protect their homes.
The men took up arms while the women and children prepared food and tended to the wounded in the rear.
Even though they knew the cost of this battle would be huge, they still stood firm together.
This village, once a symbol of tranquility and peace, is now a blaze of war.
Yet amid all the chaos and fear, humanity can also be seen. Their courage and determination, as well as their love for their homeland, were on display in this moment.
But the village that had enjoyed peace for hundreds of years was no match for these tigers, leopards and locusts. The final result was that the village was robbed and no one survived.
"At that time, the fisherman was entrusted by us to bring the grain to the prefect of that place, but he didn't want the prefect to insist on asking for the location of Taoyuan. In the end, he tortured him in every possible way, found out the location, and robbed it."
"So, the so-called failure in Taoyuan Village is just because the prefect cannot find it?" Mu Yu asked. The matter was already clear. Why did the fisherman break his promise to find the prefect? Why did the prefect fail to find the prefect? If you look for it again, you won't be able to find the way. Everything is just to cover up your selfishness.
"How could they do this!" A female team member was very angry about this incident and shouted angrily: "People have helped them like this, why do they still burn and kill!"
Mu Yu's explanation for this is: "It is normal for such incidents to occur in the face of a great famine. Suddenly there is a village on one's own territory. It has not reported and paid taxes all year round. It is not even a village with the name of its own dynasty. Can you rest assured that they won’t cause trouble here? And if the other party still has enough food, who else is it not you?”
"But!" The female teammate still couldn't accept Mu Yu's statement.
"Don't forget what we are doing now." Mu Yu's faint voice came, shocking everyone present.
If that's the case, isn't this what you and others are doing?
If foreign races appear in our own area, should we just allow them to become hidden dangers?
"I don't think that the prefect did the right thing, and even what he did was extreme, but under any circumstances, such a once-and-for-all approach is the way to survive." Mu Yu glanced at everyone in the audience.
