According to the legend of the Jin people, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he summoned strange people from all over the world to explore the art of immortality. Among them, there was a scholar who found a unique way, learned the wisdom of everyone, gathered the essence of heaven and earth, transformed the power of nature, and obtained the secret of longevity. The first emperor was overjoyed and ordered to see him immediately. The scholar, who wanted to enjoy the method of longevity alone (or to save his life), pretended to set off on the journey, took the opportunity to escape on the way, and disappeared since then.
When the First Emperor heard about it, he was furious, and he approved the text "To kill all scholars in the world, and never let one go." Afterwards, some dignitaries who liked to collect books were also implicated, ranging from imprisonment to the frontier. For a time, the people left their homes, or took their families to hide in the mountains to avoid disasters, or gathered together to form a righteousness, and called "the world has suffered for Qin for a long time", ordering the people with lofty ideals in the world to oppose Qin. The First Emperor repressed him with torture.
There is a valley in the land of Wuling, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the walls are extremely high and steep. There are hundreds of peach trees outside, which are planted along the stream. During the war and turmoil of the Qin Dynasty, a scholar (self-named "Taoyuan Lay") lived here in seclusion.
There is no way in or out of Taohuayuan (I don't know if Taoyuan laymen enter), there is only one stream (also known as "Peach Blossom Stream"). Three li of the stream, there is a village, there is a stone pillar archway in the east of the village, Shangyun "Bird Language Village". All the necessities of life in the village are passed by birds. Over time, they all think that the villagers are good at bird language, but this is not the case.
In the north of Niaoyu Village, adjacent to the "Fisherman Village", the people in the village are engaged in fishing. A few years ago, a fisherman claimed to be "walking along the edge of the river, forgetting the distance of the road, and suddenly entering the peach blossom garden", and described the scene. The villagers laughed at it, thinking it was a joke. Those who have good things report to the prefect, and the prefect will send people to go with him, and there is no way to go. They also ordered people to cut the side walls, drape ropes, and climb up the rock. Toss for a few days, without success. After a month, the fisherman was accused of lying and slandering the public. He was imprisoned and tortured for several days. He couldn't find the truth, so he was released.
There was a scholar in Nanyang, with a noble character, named Liu Ziji. I was bored on weekdays, and I heard about the fisherman, so I went to Fisherman's Village and invited to the "Fisherman Inn" in the south of the village to talk about wine. The fisherman was very happy, toasted a few times, and talked more and more. It seems that there is a village in the valley, with hundreds of inhabitants, flocks of chickens and hogs, and everyone is generous. Ziji listened to it, and his heart was full of admiration, but there was no way out. The fisherman cleans the cup, gestures it with his hand, and says, "A few taels of gold can be taken with you." Ziji was drunk and smiled without saying a word.
The next day, the fisherman was given three taels of silver and asked to lead the way. The fisherman was half sober, pointed at the peach trees along the shore, and said, "This is all my ambition!" After walking for half a mile, the fisherman lay down on the stone with heavy legs, and he said a few words in his mouth, not knowing what he meant. Ziji was startled, smiled and stopped. After waiting for a long time, the fisherman didn't get up and seemed to be asleep. So he took off his blue coat, put it on the fisherman, and walked alone.
The stream stops at a mountain, and there are several caves on it, of different sizes, which seem to lead to a secluded place. Ziji was astonished and thought he had the way. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the color of the soil wall was renovated and the branches were broken. I realized that it was dug by the prefect, and I couldn't help smiling. After watching for a long time, he refused to return without success. Looking for a big hole, leaning in, walking a few steps, suddenly felt that the legs were soft, like mud. Go forward again, the mud is knee-high, and you cannot enter. With a long sigh, he supported the wall and returned, with severe pain in his arm on the way, and because of the weak light in the cave, he didn't know what was biting him.
After going out of the cave, he went to the Fisherman's Village without telling the fisherman. Go to the Fisherman's Inn, pack up the soft packages, and take a horse back to Nanyang in the afternoon. Find a famous doctor in town to diagnose arm pain. At that time, the five fingers were numb and swollen like a crucian carp, and the wife was very anxious. Ziji smiled and reassured everyone. The famous doctor did not know what the poison was, so he only opened the knife to let blood, and applied ordinary herbs to it. After five days, the swelling subsided, the famous doctor resigned, and Ziji thanked him. Live for a few days, no abnormality. Ziji began to feel at ease, to start learning the classics, and not to think about the peach blossom garden.
In the middle of the month, Ziji became seriously ill, thinking about the trip to the Peach Blossom Spring, which is very regrettable! Looking at the left and right palms, there are red marks on each, in the shape of petals, looming. Unconsciously, he sighed and closed his eyes.
In the next few days, the fisherman also disappeared. People in the village talked about it, and they all said: "Fishermen enter the peach blossom garden, greedy for comfort, and do not want to return."
