"What's this?"
People who were discussing topics related to "Peach Blossom Spring" soon discovered this situation.
Judging from the name, they had no idea what this video was about, but because so many people posted the same video at once, many people would naturally want to click on it to see what it was about after seeing it so many times.
——In fact, many people who posted it did not have time to read the collection before posting it, and they clicked on it and read it slowly after posting it.
"This collection was created by the beta testers of Peach Blossom Spring. It is a story about travelers and also a story called China." This is the line of text at the very beginning of the video.
As the line of words gradually faded, it looked like smoke was rising in the picture.
In this hazy state, people heard an old voice calmly say, "I have recorded the history from the Yellow Emperor to the Taichu period, totaling one hundred and thirty chapters."
As these words were spoken, the images in the video gradually became clearer.
An old man sits on a rock, speaking. Below, many people dressed similarly to him listen intently. Amidst the ethereal yet majestic background music, viewers hear one of the listeners ask, "Master, you said, 'When you see a virtuous person, you should strive to emulate him; when you see an unvirtuous person, you should reflect on yourself.' I have a question..."
As the man asked the question, the scene expanded from the preaching scene under the tree and gradually shifted to a place with the words "Jixia Academy" written on the door.
This beginning shows the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended with each other.
There is no need for Xu Piao to be proficient in or have a thorough understanding of the theories of the various schools of thought. During the nine years of compulsory education, everyone has memorized a few sentences such as "Mencius said", "Xunzi said", etc. Those that have been passed down and memorized are all able to stand the test of time and are particularly reasonable.
In short, this opening of a hundred schools of thought immediately attracted many people who just clicked to take a look, and were about to quit when they saw that the collection was so long.
"Learning without thinking is useless; thinking without learning is dangerous..." This quote sums it up very interestingly. I always tell my students not to just focus on memorizing. If they just want to remember something, wouldn't it be faster to just type it into their computers? Learning and thinking must be combined to be effective.
[That phrase about three people walking together seems to make a lot of sense.]
I think the saying, "I've thought all day, but it's still not as good as what I learned in a moment," is similar to the saying "learning without thinking."
Those who were initially attracted to these sentences were people working in education-related industries and those who like to think.
However, they did not have much time left. As the video went on, Qu Yuan standing by the river, Qin Shihuang who founded the first great unified country, and Emperor Gaozu of Han who established the "Han" dynasty appeared one after another. In these eras, there were not just one or two people who shone as brightly as stars, but countless people.
Queen Dowager Xuan, Han Fei, Li Si, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He, Empress Lü, Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, Li Mu...
The stories of these people may be long or short, but without exception, each one is extremely dazzling and thrilling, so much so that they can traverse time and space and amaze countless interstellar people.
So many people held their breath unconsciously when they saw these stories, and only reacted by taking deep breaths when they were almost suffocating, with shock and emotion still lingering in their eyes.
"This... are these really the things included in a so-called casual game like "Taohuayuan"? " The interstellar people couldn't help but wonder. Even the internal test players who participated in Hewlett's plan... to be honest, many people were caught off guard and were shocked.
After all, they had not seen what the contents were before the collection was completed.
"Is this really the game we're playing?"
"Are we playing the same game?"
——The above sentence is the question that many "Taohuayuan" players have from the bottom of their hearts.
The film production in the interstellar era is similar to the game production, with excellent graphics. Before this, they thought the stories in those movies were pretty good, until they saw this collection of traveler stories...
If you pick any one of these people's stories and make a movie based on their life stories, the plot would probably be enough for the director to brag about for the rest of his life.
When this part ends, the viewers breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like they’ve watched long enough and thinking it’s almost over. But then they look down at the progress bar and realize that less than a tenth of the video has passed!
"Wait, I'll go get a few bottles of nutrients first, and then we'll watch it slowly." Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, paused the video, and quietly went to get the nutrients. Then she opened a virtual viewing room with her parents and grandparents to continue watching.
This was several times longer than most movies, and she estimated that she would spend her entire day on it.
"Granddaughter, it seems that many of these travelers had bad endings. I hope A-Mi, Guiying, Xiaohuo, and Pengju are all okay?" Xiaoqin's grandfather became a little uneasy as he looked at this collection.
Pengju is Yue Fei's courtesy name.
"Shouldn't it be... right?" Xiaoqin was a little unsure.
She didn't seem to have seen anyone in the internal test group mention the travelers who had visited her grandfather's Peach Blossom Spring. She had originally wanted to ask Boss Hewlett, but she saw that Boss Hewlett was too busy to integrate the information sent by so many people in the group, so she felt embarrassed to bother him.
"Just watch it first. It should appear later anyway." Xiaoqin's father said, staring at the screen and refusing to move away.
When Han Xin was killed in Changle Palace, Xiaoqin's father, a serious and face-conscious man, had red eyes and couldn't help sobbing.
Fortunately, while watching this collection, the whole family cried, their eyes were often red, and no one laughed at him.
"Hasn't Han Xin told those who persuaded him to betray Liu Bang that Liu Bang trusted him like a brother, and that he would never betray Liu Bang even if he died? Why did he end up..."
Xiaoqin's father couldn't continue.
As the saying goes, "As for a man of integrity, he is unparalleled in the country."
It is precisely because this collection expresses the relationship between the monarch and his subjects so truly that many people were broken down when they saw the ending "The heroes of the country are still there, but there is no Han Xin anymore."
Even though the world in this collection is not their world, they can't help but put themselves into this world when watching it, and feel the grief of those who have lived with these people.
What is death?
Death means that there will never be such a person in this world again.
The interstellar people had originally thought that with the Han Dynasty already established, Han Xin wouldn't have to lead troops away for years, so the emperor and his subjects could gather together more often and work together to strengthen the country. Han Xin and Zhang Liang still had many military books to write, and Han Xin had discovered a promising talent in the army and wanted to train him to succeed him...
But everything came to an abrupt end.
...Who wouldn’t be broken after watching this!
…
Fortunately, the plot then eased a little, allowing the viewers to take a breath and wipe away their tears.
"Look! Xiao Huo is out!" Xiaoqin's grandfather suddenly became happy and patted Xiaoqin's grandmother to tell her not to miss him. "That one—that boy who follows the general named Wei Qing. Let me tell you, this boy is so naughty. When we went to the beach to catch crabs before, he put huge crabs in A-mi and Guiying's bucket to scare them. As a result, Guiying dragged him to fight, and the two of them fought until they were all covered in mud. Haha..."
As Xiaoqin's grandfather told the interesting stories, the video collection happened to show that seventeen-year-old Huo Qubing went to war with his uncle. Huo Qubing was sent out with a team of 800 elite cavalry to launch a surprise attack. His uncle Wei Qing also told him not to run too far.
As a result, Huo Qubing turned around and destroyed the Xiongnu's lair. When he returned to Wei Qing's tent to report his victory, he was smiling proudly, full of youthful spirit.
"This brat!" Xiaoqin's grandfather was so frightened by the thrilling battle that his heart almost stopped beating. He only breathed a sigh of relief when everyone returned safely. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "How dangerous is this! Didn't his uncle tell him not to run too far?"
However, when they returned to the court after their success, when Grandpa Xiaoqin saw that Huo Qubing was named Marquis of Guanjun at the age of seventeen, Grandpa Xiaoqin couldn't help but reveal a feeling of pride in his eyes, as if he was very happy to see his own child achieve success.
As they watched the entire collection, they naturally realized what a dazzling achievement this was - and most importantly, he was only seventeen years old!
When you are young, the future is promising.
Seeing that Xiaoqin's father had calmed down a lot, he heard that Xiaoqin's grandfather often met Huo Qubing and said that he also wanted to go to Xiaoqin's grandfather's Peach Blossom Spring to see Huo Qubing with his own eyes.
Xiaoqin's grandfather was a little arrogant before agreeing.
……However.
Before the interstellar people could see Huo Qubing's broader and more promising future, his life came to an abrupt end at the age of 24. As he lay dying on his deathbed, he was still giving instructions on the marching arrangements and thinking about the expedition to the Xiongnu. With a face that had matured a lot but still looked very young, he muttered to himself with reluctance, "Give me two more years... no, one year, and I will be able to annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu!"
…
"..." Xiaoqin's expression froze, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at her grandfather's expression at the moment.
The whole family fell silent.
Grandma Xiaoqin's eyes were slightly red, and she held Grandpa Xiaoqin's hand tightly.
"...Or, let's not watch it anymore?" After a while, Xiaoqin saw that no one in her family moved, and said in a low voice.
“…”
"Keep reading." Xiaoqin's grandfather's voice was a little hoarse. He shook Xiaoqin's grandmother's hand, covered his eyes and took a deep breath. "...I want to read the stories of other children."
