In the Taiyuan Dynasty of Jin Dynasty, a fisherman walked along the stream in search of the legendary Peach Blossom Spring.
The night is getting darker, the moon's shadow is slanting, and the birds and beasts in the forest are silent.
The fisherman went deep into the peach blossom forest, and the petals fell, like ghostly fingertips touching his cheek.
When the forest ends and the water source disappears, a collapsed ancient cave entrance stands in front. The mouth of the cave is like a big mouth, waiting for prey to fall into the trap.
The fisherman held a lantern and carefully entered the cave.
The cave is narrow and dark, and the moisture is so heavy that it seems to tear people's skin apart.
After walking hundreds of steps, the fisherman's eyes suddenly lit up, and a wide valley appeared in front of him.
In the valley, the moonlight shone down and there was deathly silence.
The fisherman discovered that those creatures that should be happy have turned into static sculptures at this moment.
Their eyes were empty and terrifying, as if frozen by some unspeakable fear.
The fisherman went deeper and deeper into the valley. Suddenly, he discovered an ancient ancestral temple.
In front of the door of the ancestral hall, there are some familiar faces - those sculptures, their eyes are full of endless fear.
The fisherman felt uneasy in his heart and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.
Deep in the ancestral hall, there are rows of stone statues, each of which was his friend and relative.
The same fear was etched on their faces.
At this time, the fisherman found a huge stone tablet standing in the center of the ancestral hall.
There is an ancient inscription engraved on the stone tablet, which translates to: "The creatures here have violated God's commandments and are cursed to stay here forever, unable to leave and unable to rest."
The fisherman retreated in horror, only to find that he was trapped and unable to escape.
His heart beat like a drum, echoing in the silent valley. He understood that he had mistakenly entered this terrifying paradise and became a part of it.
Night falls again, and the fisherman spends his time in the peach blossom garden in fear.
Those motionless stone statues were like ghosts, a constant reminder that he was trapped in eternal damnation.
The fisherman began to go crazy. He tried to destroy these stone statues, but whenever he touched them, he would feel the biting coldness.
As time goes by, the fisherman gets older, and his body becomes as stiff as those stone statues.
At the last moment of his life, he saw a light. It was the light at the entrance of the cave, and a glimmer of hope ignited in the fisherman's heart.
At the last moment, the fisherman understood that the Peach Blossom Spring was not as beautiful as the legend said.
This is a terrible curse, a trap from which there is no escape.
Liu Ziji suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He had not had such a dream for a long time.
Before he calmed down, he saw the smiling face in front of him and said to him: "Brother, long time no see."
Before he could react, the guy in front of him blew out another breath, and he fell asleep again.
…
In a deep bamboo forest, a winding path is looming, passing through the dense bamboo leaves and disappearing behind the distant hills.
The sun shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves and shines on the path, shining with golden light.
A breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves swayed gently, as if whispering.
The group of people walked along the path, their steps brisk and steady.
The leader was a scholar named Tao Yuanming. He held an ancient bamboo stick in his hand, and his face was engraved with expectation and determination for the unknown. His eyes looked through the gaps in the bamboo leaves to the unknown in the distance, as if he could see the legendary Peach Blossom Spring.
Behind him were a group of simple farmers, their faces tanned and their eyes filled with the same expectation.
They wear coarse clothes and have soil on their feet, but they carry with them a yearning for a better life.
Sometimes their hands clenched the hoes, sometimes they opened their arms, as if they were feeling the lightness of the wind and the rhythm of the bamboo.
Tao Yuanming stopped at the intersection and glanced around.
He saw the peach blossoms blooming on the hills, like a gorgeous picture.
He saw the gurgling streams and heard the singing of birds. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, as if absorbing the power of the earth.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He pointed in one direction, smiled and said: "There, the Peach Blossom Spring is right there."
His voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if he had already seen the legendary paradise.
The group of people followed him and walked along the path towards the legendary Peach Blossom Spring.
Their steps were firm and their eyes were full of expectation. The Peach Blossom Spring, that place far away from the hustle and bustle, full of tranquility and beauty, was right in front of them.
This scene flashed by, and soon Liu Ziji dreamed of another scene.
As the fisherman pulled up his net from the dim water, he felt a chill rising from the depths. He looked at the fishing net in his hand. It was empty, with only a drop of blood flickering in the mesh. He shook his head, trying to clear up the doubts in his mind, but when he raised his head, he found himself in a strange peach blossom forest.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom, but there is an indescribable weirdness about them. The petals are brightly colored, but with an unnatural depth that seems to absorb people's soul. The fisherman felt heart palpitations, and he began to explore forward, trying to find the end of the peach blossom forest.
The fisherman walked for a long time, but the peach blossom forest seemed to never end. When he was exhausted, he saw a thin figure waving to him in front of him. When he got closer, he saw a pale woman with a strange light shining in her eyes.
The woman smiled at him and said in a low voice: "Are you here to find the Peach Blossom Spring? Come with me, I know its secrets." After saying that, she turned and walked forward. The fisherman hesitated, but finally decided to follow her.
The fisherman followed the woman into the depths of the peach blossom forest. As they went deeper, the air around them began to become oppressive, as if there was an invisible fear approaching. The fisherman felt his heart beating faster and his steps becoming heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, a huge door appeared in front of them. The carvings on the door are hideous and terrifying, seeming to announce the horror behind the door. The woman gently pushed the door open, and a burst of black air poured out from the door. The fisherman felt a strong chill.
He followed the woman into the door, and what he saw in front of him horrified him. The house was filled with black altars, each with a corpse on it, and the evil spirits were greedily devouring these corpses. The fisherman felt his stomach churn, and he wanted to run away, but when he turned around, he found that he was surrounded by evil spirits.
The fisherman screamed in terror, but it was soon drowned out by the wild laughter of the evil spirits. He wanted to run away, but his steps were restrained by fear. He felt his heart beating rapidly and his breathing becoming faster and faster.
The evil spirits surrounded him, their faces were ferocious. When he opened his eyes, the fisherman saw darkness.
I don't know how long it took before the fisherman woke up from the darkness. He found that he was still in the peach blossom forest, but everything around him became extremely terrifying. The depths of the peach blossom forest were shrouded in darkness, and the surrounding trees became twisted and strange. The fisherman felt waves of fear welling up from the bottom of his heart, but he knew he had to escape from this terrifying place.
The fisherman began to move towards the edge of the peach blossom forest, but his footsteps became heavier and heavier. When he finally reached the edge of the peach blossom forest, he discovered a surprising fact: the peach blossom forest began to shrink! The fisherman felt a burst of fear welling up from the bottom of his heart, and he began to run wildly, trying to escape from this terrifying place...
