Below is a huge valley with flat land and fertile fields. Some crops and fruit trees are planted in the fields, and a clear stream flows slowly through.
In the middle of the valley, there is a small village, with probably only a few dozen households, and some adobe houses and thatched huts, which are ancient and simple.
At this time, some villagers were walking leisurely in the countryside, enjoying themselves. A few children were chasing and playing, laughing loudly. The dogs heard each other, quiet and peaceful.
This scene is in sharp contrast to the villages and towns outside that were destroyed by demons!
Seeing such a place, even Huang Yi inexplicably wanted to put aside his worldly affairs, escape from the war-torn world outside, live in seclusion here, and live a life free from the world.
":You have discovered the Peach Blossom Spring, and the experience value is 300,000."
Peach Blossom Spring!
No name could be more suitable than this one!
This paradise is isolated from the world, surrounded by huge peaks in all directions, and hidden among the mountains of the Jufeng Mountains. It is impossible to find it even if you try to find it.
At this time, the outside world is being crazily ravaged by demons, but this place is not affected at all and maintains its original peace and quiet!
Until today, we welcomed the first strange intruder Huang Yi!
The hillside where Huang Yi was located was in the middle of a cliff. He couldn't move up or down. He didn't want to disturb the tranquility here, so he didn't use his wings to fly down. Instead, he put away his weapon, grabbed a hanging vine with both hands, and climbed up.
Arriving in the valley below the cliff, we walked towards the small village.
Here is a pink peach forest, which is like spring all year round. The peach blossoms are blooming all the time, and the flowers are fragrant. Some peach trees even have some transparent and crystal clear peaches growing on them, which look very juicy.
A small stream runs through the middle of the peach forest, with groups of small fish swimming around. From time to time they emerge from the water to eat the peach blossoms that have fallen from the trees.
The grass on the shore is delicious, the fallen flowers are colorful, the dew on the grass tips is shining, and occasionally you can hear the crisp chirping of insects and birds.
Such a quiet and elegant scenery made Huang Yi relax unconsciously, and even his steps became brisk, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the entrance of the village.
There is a huge banyan tree at the entrance of the village, which is as thick as a dozen people hugging each other. It has luxuriant branches and leaves. The aerial roots hang down on the ground. They are entangled with each other and winding, full of ancient meaning.
There is a huge stone under the tree. It seems that people have been sitting on it to enjoy the coolness all year round. It has been polished until it is polished. At this time, several children are sitting there playing, and the bright sunshine shines through the dense branches and leaves, scattering on their faces.
On their faces, their smiles became even brighter.
When they saw Huang Yi arriving, they all opened their eyes with surprise.
"Who are you and how did you get here?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child immediately stood up from the stone and looked at Huang Yi and asked. The tone of his voice was different from the outside world, but he could still understand it.
The other children also stood up one after another, and they all looked at Huang Yi curiously. Their eyes were clean, clear, spotless, and full of innocence, like clear springs in a mountain stream.
"I came here accidentally." Huang Yi said in a calm tone, trying to show that he had no ill intentions. "Can you take me to meet the adults in your village?"
"Okay!" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy nodded, climbed down from the big rock with the group of children, and began to lead Huang Yi into the village.
As they walked, they turned around frequently. They kept looking at the outsider Huang Yi, whispering to each other from time to time, and then laughing innocently.
Huang Yi suddenly discovered that these children were slightly different from ordinary people outside. Their shoulder blades were all slightly raised. They even held up their clothes.
This scene suddenly made him think of wings!
If a race in human form grows wings, it will protrude from the shoulder blades. But judging from the bulge of these children's shoulder blades, it seems that it is not enough to grow a complete pair of wings. I don't know what's going on.
Huang Yi followed these children into the village with strong curiosity.
The village was a little more lively. Three or two ducks were walking in the countryside and pecking at them as if no one was around. Several dogs saw these children, wagging their tails and rushed over, putting their front paws on them to play. But when they saw Huang Yi, an outsider
After that, I felt a little hesitant.
Soon, the adults in the village also discovered Huang Yi and were shocked!
Everyone stopped what they were doing, walked out of their respective rooms, and surrounded the outsider Huang Yi, their eyes full of curiosity.
They seem to have been isolated from the outside world for so long that everyone's expressions are very innocent. Even the eyes of the old people do not show the feeling of having experienced the vicissitudes of life, and they are as innocent as children.
They wore very primitive coarse linen clothes, and the shoulder blades were all slightly raised, holding up the clothes.
"Are you from outside?" At this time, the oldest man in the crowd, an old man with a white beard, took a step forward, looked at Huang Yi and asked. He was full of energy, and did not have the feeling of aging that an old man should have.
.
"Yes! I accidentally discovered a cave. After climbing in, I arrived here..." Huang Yi simply told the process of discovering this place, and then asked his doubts: "Why do you live here?"
here?"
The old man stroked his long white beard, looked around Huang Yi, and said slowly: "Our ancestors lived in seclusion here in order to avoid the war in the Oskan Empire. Since then, the descendants have never gone out.
It’s over, I wonder if there’s still a war outside?”
"Oskan Empire?!" Huang Yi was shocked when he heard the name!
This is the greatest empire in ancient times! It is also known as the last large-scale empire in the history of the Second World. Its territory is extremely vast, and its ruins are spread across every continent in the Second World today.
But this empire eventually perished and disappeared into the vast river of history. Only the Royal Academy directly under it was passed down, and it gradually became the core force of the second world, that is, the Oskan Royal Academy.
The ancestors of these people actually came here to live in seclusion in ancient times. They have spent several epochs safely and escaped countless catastrophes.
"The Oskan Empire has long been destroyed, and even the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent have collapsed into hundreds of pieces..." Huang Yi briefly explained the situation outside.
"What a big change!"
"The continent actually shattered!"
“I don’t know if the Yuchao Mountain in the legend of our ancestors is still there.”
The crowd suddenly looked at each other and started talking among themselves. This is the first time in countless years that news from the outside has come here.
"Young man, you must be very hungry after traveling across mountains and rivers to get here! Why don't you come to my house as a guest, have a meal and rest for a while." At this time, the old man with a white beard invited Huang Yi.
"Okay! Thank you!" Huang Yi nodded. He was indeed a little tired.
The old man with a white beard smiled kindly, and while stroking his beard, he turned to the surrounding villagers and children and said: "Zongzi, Huahua, you two go to Taohua Creek to catch some grass carp, and pick a basket of spiritual water peaches by the way;
Dongyang, Shou Shou, go kill two chickens and get some goose eggs; Little Gray Rabbit, you and your father will bring two jars of aged peach blossom wine, and then go dig some potatoes and lettuce in the vegetable garden; Yuyu, Jing
Feng, you two climb up Ningcui Cliff, collect some swan fungi, and get two pine bird's nests; wife, go and light the fire yourself..."
Soon, the villagers were enthusiastically preparing this sumptuous lunch.
Huang Yi followed the old man with a white beard to his house.
The house is right by the bridge of a creek. It is a few old thatched houses. All the appliances are made of wood and stone. They are clean, tidy, simple and simple, comfortable and comfortable.
There is a tall fig tree in front of the house. Its broad leaves block the midday sun and cast a green shade. There are two rattan chairs under the tree, which have been polished very smooth. It seems that someone has been sitting here all year round, looking at the mountains in the distance.
, watching the sun rise and set.
Huang Yi went directly to the tree and sat on a chair, leaning on the sloping back of the chair and looking comfortably at the green cliffs in the distance.
There were several green pines sticking out from the cliff, covered with exotic flowers and plants, and a small waterfall falling from the middle, like a poetic landscape painting.
"This is simply a fairyland!" Huang Yi sighed from the bottom of his heart. His whole soul seemed to have been sublimated, and all the previous killings and blood were gone.
"That's why our ancestors lived in seclusion here and never got involved in the noisy fights outside!" the white-bearded old man said, sitting down on another chair. The two bulging shoulder blades moved toward the middle.
It was like a pillow, leaning against the back of the chair, with the back of the head resting on it comfortably.
Huang Yi looked at the bulging shoulder blades, his curiosity rose again, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is that thing growing on your backs?"
The old man pursed his lips, turned to look at Huang Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Those are vestigial wings."
"Degenerated?" Huang Yi was startled for a moment, and couldn't help but feel more curious, "Why did the good wings degenerate?"
The old man looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said quietly: "Because... we are the descendants of the Yuren tribe."
"Feathered Human Race?!" Huang Yi was suddenly surprised and almost stood up from his chair, "Could it be the Feathered Human Race of Johns, the Conferred God?"
"Exactly!" The old man nodded and stroked his white beard, "Johns! That is the greatest tribesman in the history of our Feathered Tribe. He once led us to the most prosperous period. But it is precisely because
It was he who led to the downfall of our Feathered Race."

When the last chapter was just published, I saw that some readers had already guessed it was the Peach Blossom Spring. "The Peach Blossom Spring" was my favorite text when I was a student. When I was depressed last year, I particularly longed to go there.
A place like this is a place to hide from the world, but there is no such place in reality, so I can only make it up in the book for fun. The names of the people mentioned above are basically all fake names signed up by readers. (To be continued.)
