74: The evil-suppressing peach forest! Facing the mountain and facing the water!
"Damn it!"
"My blood pressure is a bit high; I'm going to take a fast-acting heart-saving pill!"
"Holy crap, is what the Host is saying even from the human world?"
"Originally, everyone wasn't that nervous, just tense, but after he finished that part, Fatty and Miss Zhang Meng died on the spot!"
"Hehe..."
"I was so naive just now, pricking up my ears to listen carefully."
"Who would have thought..."
"The Host's move is just inhuman!"
"Is this how you stir up the atmosphere?"
"It's great for relieving tension!"
"My life is flying away!"
..."?"
Weren't we supposed to learn some knowledge to relax?
Weren't we supposed to avoid getting tense?
Fatty felt his butt cheeks clenched tight, and a million alpacas stampeded through his mind!
"Boss..."
"Could you please stop talking?"
"What you're saying has made me clench back the half-pooped shit; I'm already very nervous..."
"Boss..."
Fatty was on the verge of tears.
"Have mercy on this child!"
..."Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast..."
Zhang Meng glared at Wu Tian beside her.
She immediately started singing a children's song.
As she sang, she chuckled and said to the terrified Fatty beside her.
"Fatty, ignore him!"
"Sing children's songs with me!"
"Believe me, as long as you have a childlike heart, all the demons and ghosts will leave!"
"Let's fight magic with magic!"
"Two tigers, two tigers, run fast..."
After saying that, Zhang Meng led Fatty in singing.
"..."
"Sister-in-law Zhang Meng..."
"I don't know your Dragon Kingdom's children's songs, and I have no musical talent. Please stop singing; if you keep singing..."
Fatty looked desperate.
"I'm going to shit myself!"
Zhang Meng: ..."Ahem..."
"What's there to be afraid of? This is the power of knowledge. Don't you think what I just said makes a lot of sense?"
"Doesn't it get close to the truth?"
"Aren't these all cold facts?"
Wu Tian looked at the two people who were gradually falling into despair and immediately felt frustrated!
"You better shut up!"
"I think all your theories are just nonsense, made up out of thin air!"
Zhang Meng rolled her eyes at the latter.
"Can't you just walk properly?"
"What if we encounter danger?"
"That's right..."
Fatty, who was beside him, also echoed.
"Boss, please stop talking, really. The more you talk, the more scared I get. If you keep talking, I'm going to shit in my pants. I didn't bring a change of clothes; don't force me to wear yours!"
"..."
"Get lost!"
Zhang Meng's face darkened.
She elbowed Fatty beside her.
"And you, shut your dog mouth!"
..."Ahem..."
Wu Tian looked at the fuming Zhang Meng and Fatty, who were no longer paying attention to him. Seeing the clear impatience and anger on their faces, and noticing that their grip on their guns wasn't as tight as before, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Aha!
He knew it!
It still had an effect!
Clearing his throat softly, Wu Tian decided to continue analyzing for the two of them.
"Listen to me again, I promise I'm not trying to scare you..."
"..."
"Uh..."
Under Zhang Meng's murderous glare... Wu Tian quickly waved his hand, solemnly assuring the two of them.
"I'm really not trying to scare you!"
"We're about to enter the Peach Blossom Garden, and there are some things I need to make clear to you, things you need to know!"
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated!"
"Speak!"
Zhang Meng nodded unhappily.
"Alright!"
Wu Tian chuckled.
Picking up from where he left off, he continued his analysis.
"Besides the Fisherman being abnormal, there's also the peach grove!"
"The peach grove?"
Fatty frowned.
"What's so special about the peach grove? These peach blossoms are already so dark; are they going to take the blame too?"
"Hehe..."
"Right, sister-in-law?"
Fatty forced a smile.
He tried to ease the tense atmosphere.
But... seeing Zhang Meng beside him still frowning in thought!
Fatty could only stop smiling and obediently tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
"..."
"Of course there's something to it."
Wu Tian grinned, a strange smile on his face.
"Tao Yuanming's 'the peach blossom spring' writes: 'There were no other trees in it, and the fragrant grass was beautiful. The Fisherman was greatly surprised by it, and went forward again, wishing to go to the end of the grove!'"
"Fatty..."
After saying this, Wu Tian reached out and patted Fatty's shoulder.
"There isn't a single other tree in it, and the fragrant grass is beautiful!"
"What does this prove?"
Wu Tian said unequivocally!
"This shows that this peach grove is being maintained by someone, and it's even being fertilized from time to time!"
"You might not know..."
Wu Tian leaned close to Fatty's ear.
He whispered as the latter's face grew increasingly pale.
"In our ancient Dragon Kingdom, any scholar would know that peach trees..."
"They ward off evil!"
"And it's well known that Tao Yuanming liked chrysanthemums! (Ahem... those with dirty minds get a penalty!)"
"He wrote about peach trees instead of chrysanthemums; this is corroborating evidence!"
"He is also hinting at us..."
"What is sealed behind this Peach Blossom Garden!"
"..."
"Holy crap..."
Fatty almost jumped up from the ground. Looking at the grim-faced Wu Tian beside him, Fatty's voice even had a hint of a sob.
"Boss, what kind of hellish stuff are you talking about?"
"Hehe..."
"How can the Peach Blossom Garden seal something?"
Fatty chuckled, deceiving himself.
"At most, it's just a few lonely ghosts that can possess people. Maybe there are even dozens or hundreds of burial objects inside; how could it be as mysterious as you say!"
"Let's not scare ourselv..."
"Exactly!"
Suddenly... Zhang Meng, who had been silent for a long time, her eyes lit up, and she continued to analyze, picking up from Wu Tian's last words.
"There's strong evidence that something is sealed here!"
"Because 'the peach blossom spring' says: 'At the end of the grove, where the stream ended, he found a mountain, and in the mountain was a small opening, as if there were light within.'"
"I have some research on ancient burial customs."
"This kind of layout..."
Zhang Meng's expression gradually became serious.
"Facing a mountain and backed by water, it must be a tomb!"
Fatty: ..."Boss, sister-in-law..."
"Can you two please stop analyzing?"
"My legs are cramping up right now; what good is it for you if I can't walk?"
Fatty was on the verge of tears.
"Are you going to carry me?"
..."Don't say Fatty is scared; even wrapped in a blanket, I'm breaking out in a cold sweat. Originally, I just thought the Peach Blossom Garden wasn't simple, but who the hell would have thought..."
"There are so many hidden secrets in here?"
"The Fisherman is for ferrying living people to inhabit, the peach grove is for warding off evil, and even the geographical location of facing a mountain and backed by water..."
"It's all custom-made for a tomb!"
"I have to say..."
"I wet the bed..."
..."That's all it takes?"
Wu Tian rolled his eyes at Fatty.
"Then do you know..."
"Why did this Fisherman enter and exit from the same place?"
