Lead the willow to the edge of the scenery of the scenery, the peach blossom people in the world of immortality.

Peach Blossom Creek, also known as Urn Water, is a fairytale world that returns to its true nature. It has been hidden in the depths of Daba Mountain, located in the most beautiful village in China, Pingli County, Shaanxi. Driving fifteen kilometers from the county seat, bypassing Guxian Lake, you will enter a valley in the lofty mountains of the Taiping River in Guangfo Town. Entering it, it is like drilling into a huge urn valley, presenting people with a cool picture of ink and danqing, and the green mountains on all sides are like green screens, babbling water, clear and clear; Ancient wood shade, climbing vine attached to kudzu; Strange rocks and different shapes; Exotic flowers and grasses, wild and interesting. A winding boardwalk, climbing over a section of dangerous walls, winding on the stream, winding paths stretching through the mountains and rivers, willows and flowers in the depths of the clouds, fascinating to find the mountain stories of dreams and the leisurely and idyllic Taoyuan people. The reason why it was called "urn water" before is that it preserves a primitive piece of the depths of the Chongling Mountains, which is the gift of nature when it is a natural work, so that she has bred the charm of the "boudoir" that has been hidden in the mountains for a long time, and has not unveiled her mystery. Now she has come from ancient times, embracing the world with open and warm arms, showing her face, intoxicating and long-lost kisses. Let people revel in attachment, in the depths of that smoke cloud, there must be hidden Tao Yuanming's pursuit of the Taoyuan Victory, or his sister article of the twin of the other place. The depth of its valley, the agility of the stream, the antiquity of the state of matter, and the ethereal spirit of the pure air are all breathtaking! It is the best place for people to relax and health, scientific exploration, photography and painting, poetry writing, and return to the truth. Even more intriguing is the poignant and popular mountain story that takes place here. Tell visitors the origin of this peach blossom stream.

Legend has it that the story occurred during the Song and Yuan dynasties, when the Taiping River was called Taoping River, a mountainous area, relatively gentle, on both sides of a river, thousands of acres of fertile land, water and drought, there were more than a hundred tobacco households, planting peasant mulberry tea fruits, living a male and female weaving, sunrise and work, sunset and resting farming life, people's lives are comfortable and quiet. Only because the Taoyuan Zhai Tao family has a wonderful age woman peach blossom girl a poignant love, once broke the peace of people's lives in this side.

       It is said that Taoyuan Village lives in the Tao family surnamed Tao, the couple is industrious and simple, honest, often helps the neighbors, and is deeply loved by everyone, but he is nearly fifty years old and has no children and no daughters under his knees. One day, the couple came to the "Niangniang Temple", burned incense and asked for heirs, drew lots to ask for help, and begged for heavenly gifts. After drawing a signature, he resigned: "Jiamu auspicious omen opens the heavens, and good fortune plants flowers and peach orchards." Futian has his own karma, and heaven gives Jiao'er a hundred flowers first. The couple did not understand their meaning, and there was a Taoist in the temple who read and said that after the village, peach trees were planted everywhere, and flowers and fruits were planted in the world, and there would be blessings. This devout couple has since planted peach trees and opened up a famous peach paradise. The peach blossoms bloom into a scenic spot, and the peach fruits are ripe, bringing blessings to the eight townships of the Ten Mile and Eight Townships. It is also coincidental that the wife is forty and nine, pregnant with a beloved daughter, just in time for the peach blossom season, named Peach Blossom. Peach blossom is well-behaved, clever and beautiful, especially charming, adding countless joys and vitality to the peach couple. As the peach blossoms grow day by day, the girl is comparable to the peach blossoms in the mountains, attracting guests from near and far to buy peaches and enjoy the flowers, and people in the township are happy for a while.

During this period, the peach family should have lived a stable and happy life, but the peach woman suddenly fell ill, bedridden, peach blossom was attentive to serve, seeking medical treatment everywhere, but the condition deteriorated day by day, and the anxious filial daughter cried and cried for heaven. Once, she came to the wilderness called Ma Wangya in the back mountain to dig for herbs, and a white-bearded old man appeared in front of her and told some Dan Fang secrets, and the old man said that all kinds of herbs are medicines, and mortals have not seen it, give you a thousand squares, planted in Ma Wangpo. If you want to cure your mother's illness, you also need to take the "Millennium Cliff Honey" that is born at the same time as the "Urn Water Cliff" and the "Golden Nobile". As he spoke, he took some of them from his sleeve and handed them to the peach blossoms, saying that he would go and save your mother. The surprised peach blossom hurriedly knelt down and prostrated, and thanked the old man one after another, but at the moment when she got up, the mountain fog filled the air, and the old man disappeared into the clouds. Peach Blossom rushed home to boil the prescription taught by the old man into a decoction, with "cliff honey" as the guide, kneeling in front of the peach mother's bed, spoon by spoon carefully adjusted, within three days, the medicine to the disease, the peach mother's miraculous recovery as before. The neighbors of Taoping River all came to visit and were touched by the filial piety of the peach blossoms. The news that peach blossoms can cure people's diseases has also spread since then, and the villagers have come to seek medical treatment and medicine for all three diseases and two pains, and the stubborn diseases have come to seek medical treatment, and the peach blossoms always respond to every call, cold and heat, to relieve the pain of the disease for the people, so she has become the guardian god in people's hearts.

       Two or eight women are more delicate, and the longer they are, the better they look. The beautiful and kind peach blossom girl is loved by everyone and becomes a colorful cloud in people's hearts. Suitors often come and go, but they are all politely rejected by Peach Blossom. In fact, she already had a crush in her heart: he was industrious and generous, and he was always on call for a big little thing in the neighborhood of the villagers, and he had to help to the end no matter how difficult it was. His name is Liu Sheng, he is a neighbor of peach blossoms, when he was a child, he used to pick flowers and fruits in the peach orchard, and the two little ones grew up together. Especially when the peach mother fell ill, the peach orchard began to be deserted, the agricultural crops were short of people to cultivate, Liu Sheng did not care for the workers day and night, and treated the peach blossoms like his own sister, never having the idea of non-division. Because of this, Peach Blossom developed a deep love for him.

Good things are more hardships. Soon a bunch of uninvited guests came to Taoping River, all cheeky and bearded, rough and rough, carrying a large knife on his shoulder, inserting a dagger in his waist, and hugging a big man in the shape of a biao, known as the "Bashan Tiger", who said that he wanted to marry the peach blossom as the lady of the village, and asked the Taoping people to hand over the "thousand-year-old cliff honey", otherwise the Taoping River people would have no fixed place to live, and the chickens and dogs would be restless. This sudden demon brought a catastrophe to the Taoping family. The old couple of the peach family knelt down to plead, and the peach blossom swore to die. When the neighbors heard the news, hundreds of people rushed together, armed with wooden sticks, axes, and machetes, and surrounded the bandits. The king of the mountain saw that there were many powerful people here, after all, he only brought a dozen brothers, and if he came hard, he was afraid that both sides would lose, and if he didn't get the peach blossoms, he would end up together. So he slowly said in a tone of voice, "Peach blossoms don't go with me today, but you have a kind of peach flat people who bet with us, and limit you to collect "millennia of cliff honey" within three days, otherwise, my big gang of brothers will arrive later, to sweep your "circle", you peach blossoms still have to obediently follow me! After saying that, he pulled out his waist knife, "whizzed", and inserted it into a peach tree in front of him. With this gamble, the Mountain King and his gang rose triumphantly, and the Taoping crowd also looked at each other with embarrassment. Everyone understands in their hearts that the "thousand-year-old cliff honey" grows on the urn water cliff of the Urn Water Valley, which is the place where the mountain spirit and water monster comes out, and in the past, people could not go in, they could not come out, and there was no return; "Urn water cliff" is even more walled, cliffs are huge, monkeys can't climb over, "cliff honey" and "golden noodles" grow together, and "flying tiger" day and night guard, that is, "let loose", flying tiger also flies at any time to cut your rope. In the past, people only heard that no one had ever picked "cliff honey", but peach blossoms had been treated for their mothers. The villagers were under all kinds of difficulties, and the Mountain King threatened with a strange voice: "If you Taoping people don't have this axe to enter the mountain, how can you cut the six mountains of firewood, or peach blossoms follow me, we can still be relatives." At this time, a young man suddenly rushed out of the crowd, pounced on the peach tree with a knife, pulled out the knife, and inserted it into his own leg and stomach, and the blood gushed straight out, and the bloody man's action stunned everyone present. He was Liu Sheng, the peach blossoms pounced on him, the heartache stopped him from taking risks, and the villagers also stopped him from going, but Liu Sheng swore to the sky, revealing his soaring arrogance and saying: "Don't move the peach blossoms, I go to the cliff honey, I can't pick it for three days, the heavens and the earth are not tolerated." Having said that, he went home and took a plate of brown linen rope, took his beloved hound, and walked toward the gloomy place in the Urn Valley. Liu Sheng stepped forward and instantly calmed down the Mountain King, not expecting that the Taoping people had such a man. The crowd had no choice but to wait with their eyes for the three days and three nights when there was no light, and they were frozen there with the Mountain King. At this time, everyone was thinking wildly, Liu Sheng would definitely not come back, either the monster ate it, or he was crushed to bones on the cliff. Sure enough, without people's conjecture and worry, the sunset for three days was waiting for people, but they couldn't see Liu Sheng's figure. The Mountain King spoke triumphantly and said, "He can't come back, or everyone will give a testimony, let me and Peach Blossom worship the heavens and the earth here." When the people were helpless, the hounds returned, with "cliff honey" on their mouths, and there was condensed blood on the cliff honey. The dog walked to Peach Blossom's side, tears flowed down, Peach Blossom squatted down, and caressed the dog with heartache, as if the heroic Liu Sheng had returned from the disaster. At this scene, the hearts of the villagers were like knives, and their sorrows and indignation, under the anger of the people, rushed to the mountain king and his gang, and roared in unison, "Roll, robber!" This gang of strongmen was also fierce, and they all raised their large knives to fight against everyone. At this moment, suddenly three explosions of thunder shook the earth, dark clouds rolled over, the wind and rain were raging, and a dense hail smashed into this gang of strongmen like long eyes, hitting them and scurrying around. Looking back, I saw hail piling up a line on the ground: "The people's hearts are insufficient, and the heavens are destroyed!" The Mountain King and his gang were stunned, so they had to flee and disappear into the darkness.

A flying disaster passed, and when the rain cleared and the hail melted, people were surprised to find that the ground was full of horseshoe prints. The villagers woke up like a dream, wondering if this was not the apparition of the "Ma Wangye" who kept the peace! Therefore, they all knelt down in unison and bowed to Ma Wangya in the valley of the urn. Piety gathers into the hearts of the people, the money who has money, the contribution of no money, invite skilled craftsmen, diamond barriers, stone buckets, stone walls, stone veils, stone plaques, carved dragons and gods, and build a solemn stone temple to enshrine the golden body of the horse king. Since then, the incense has been burning continuously, and the believers of the eight townships have flocked to the ten miles and eight townships. The area around the Taoping River has returned to its former tranquility, and since then, people here have called the Taoping River the Taiping River.

Liu Sheng disappeared in this disaster in the Urn Water Valley, the peach blossom washed his face with tears all day, cut off his liver and intestines, and looked at the Urn Water Cliff in the fog in the distant mountains and clouds every day, where he was in a daze, and never ate or drank again. This time, it hurt the old couple of the Tao family, and also upset the villagers. One day, the peach blossom did not say anything, lit a blazing incense, bowed to Ma Wangyao, and then prostrated deeply to the peach orchard, and then knelt in front of the old father and mother, crying incessantly, and half-stood up and said: "The daughter is not filial piety, the great rebellion is not righteous, and when I find Liu Sheng, I will repay the grace of nurturing." Saying that Bi broke free of his father's hand and ran towards the Urn Water Valley, the villagers also followed closely after seeing the situation. This urn valley cliffs and cliffs, separated by mountains and rivers, a huge urn valley, unfathomable. No one had been there before, and there was nowhere to go. Peach blossom came to the mouth of the ditch is suspicious, suddenly the heavens are evil, the storm and rain come together, the flash flood surges, the huge mudslide gushes out of the valley, blocking the valley mouth to plug up a lake, just at this time, another wave rolls in, a few inches long ancient wood obliquely on the lake, peach blossom is thinking of Liusheng, only in front of the bridge in front of him, without hesitation along the ancient wood climbed over, waiting for everyone to arrive, another wave, the ancient wood was rolled up again, only to look at the peach blossom disappeared in the smoke and rain, never to be called back.

Peach Blossom crossed the lake with difficulty, just climbed to the Yakou, in front of her is another barrage of the lake, so that she can not fly through the wings, anxious she has no way to go to the sky, there is no door to the ground, life and death are at this moment, she desperately rebukes the flood, and shouts loudly "Liu Sheng——, Liu Sheng——, where are you——?" Although the flood was raging, it did not hide her mournful call, which echoed for a long time in the valley of the urn valley. Her call aroused the spirit of the earth. Immediately, the flood suddenly cracked open a water outlet, the flood of the dam slowly receded, the rain stopped, the thick fog slowly dispersed, and a rainbow seemed to rise from the depths of the Urn Valley. Moving forward, I only saw the purple mist rising, Gumu Sensen, flowing like a song, murmuring, peach blossom's frightened look slowly relaxed, suddenly in front of her a green mountain willow blocked her, she seemed to see Liu Sheng, hugged it, held its arms and refused to let go, turned back, did not see Liu Sheng's trace, only felt confused, hallucinated. The peach blossom was one foot high and one foot low in the valley, wading through the stream for a while, climbing over the cliff for a while, the eerie valley was quiet for a while, let her breathe, and the frog roared into a piece, and from time to time there was a monster hissing, which frightened her. The sky slowly darkened, and the night shrouded the urn valley even more chillingly. At this time, the skylight suddenly opened, a ray of moonlight from the canopy of the tree transmitted through, reflecting a pool of stream, peach blossoms greeted the moonlight, seeing that her figure was so delicate, the look also lost the former gorgeous, sad she thought that this look is like seeing Liu Sheng, I am afraid he will not recognize it. The tired peach blossom moved her body with difficulty, almost crawling forward, unconsciously came to a smooth stone altar, next to a mountain peach tree, peach blossom seemed to recognize that this was the peach tree in her home, immediately had the feeling of homecoming, so she sat on the stone altar, leaned on the peach tree, and unconsciously sank into sleep. In the dream, I came to the creek and saw two young women greeting her, once they met, they matched the peach blossom sister How did you come, the two women told the peach blossom, one is bitter plum, called Li Hua; One is plum apricot, called apricot blossom; When the three sisters met, they complained to each other's hearts, especially Peach Blossom couldn't cry when she thought of Liu Sheng, and the sadness and sorrow made the whole urn valley cry. Tears flow into the stream, and the petals of peach, plum and apricot float on the surface of the water, which seems to tell people that everything in the world is sentient, and that the movement of love and the communication of spirits and rhinoceros, will turn into endless thoughts. Peach Blossom asked the two sisters, have you seen Liu Sheng, Li Hua and Xing Hua said that they had never seen it, you still go to ask "Grandpa Liu" next door. "Grandpa Liu" told her: "You have Hui Gen, the mortal world has been exhausted, ascend to the Immortal Realm, Luan Feng and Ming." At this time, the peach blossoms were full of sorrow and joy, and the sleepwalking urn valley continued to move forward, fluttering slowly, only to see two peach trees, one large and one small, blocking the way, as if the mother held her hand and blocked it there, letting her go home. She hugged her mother, thanked her for the grace of kneeling, and promised to go home with her mother, but when she got up and turned back, there was a vast sea of clouds in front of her, and she couldn't find her way home. At this moment, a pair of golden phoenixes danced, greeted her, and led her to a hundred gardens. Peach Blossom first saw the white-bearded old man who gave her medicine by Ma Wangyao, and then saw hundreds of Hundred Flower Girls. The white-bearded immortal told her that you had bid farewell to mortal dust and ascended to the Immortal Realm, and as long as you finished baptism in the "Urn Water Pool", that is, the merit was complete, Liu Sheng would wait for you at Yaotai. After listening to Xian Weng's Zen instructions, the phoenix still led her to the urn pool, and the water of the waterfall poured down from the Milky Way, splashing jade and peach blossoms dancing in the pool. After the baptism, the phoenix helped her to ascend to Yaotai, only to see the vast sky, the stars twinkling, and the purple mist rising; Pavilions, golden splendor; In the surging sea of clouds, a mirage is presented, the clouds move to the shore, another cliff is pushed in front of the eyes, and the peach blossoms recognize, is this not the "urn water cliff" that grows "thousand-year-old cliff honey"! At this time, from the end of the urn water came the sound of trumpet cannons, and the sound of fairy music was like a melodious, resonating with the flowing water of the mountains. Lebi, there are immortal officials to pass on the will: peach blossom willow life, mortal edge immortal marriage, the union of heaven, the queen mother Enzhun. And awarded the peach blossom as a peach blossom fairy, in charge of the spring water of the urn stream, for the peach birthday feast Qiong pulp brew; Liu Sheng was awarded the Peach Immortal Official, who nursed the 800-year-old ripe peach and was the crown of Shouguo. And under the moon before the flower, give the "phoenix nest, phoenix nest", spend a good full moon, accompany forever! Peach Blossom was shocked, seeing that Liu Sheng was already standing in front of her, the two embraced each other, too late to pour out their hearts, busy kneeling, accepting the pardon, thanking the heavens for their kindness. At this point, the secular body is hidden, the spirit is attached to the phoenix, the shadow is inseparable, the peach is protected by the spring, and the destiny is kept. Since then, the common name "Urn Water Valley" has disappeared from people's memories. The exquisite mountain story has made people call out the name of "Peach Blossom Creek" from now on.

The mountains are splendid, and the beautiful countryside is a beautiful scenery. The beautiful "Peach Blossom Creek" willows are dark and bright, and the scene is brilliant, becoming an ecological paradise for people to read mountain stories and share the harmony between man and nature.
