Chapter 4 Peach Blossom Baptism
Then the car became very quiet.

I heard the "grunt" sound of the wheels of the carriage, and the rustling sound of the curtains being blown by the spring breeze.

The carriage stopped for half an hour.

Qin Di got out of the car first, and when he looked around, he saw a large house in front of him, with a width of five hundred feet. It was not the inner house where little Qin Di lived when he was young, but a special courtyard.

The scene of Xiao Qindi's visit last year flashed in his mind, and he thought: "This is the old house! It has a history of thousands of years, and it was just repaired a few years ago. No one lives in such a big house , there is only an old peach tree inside, and what else is the memorial hall of the ancestors."

The young men got out of the car and did not dare to enter the house, but waited in front of the gate.

After waiting for a while, many younger brothers and nephews came one after another.Gradually, more than 40 people gathered.Some of them are often seen in schools, and some have never been seen. They live in other states and return to their family to worship their ancestors.Xiao Qindi has several uncles who live in other places as officials.Every March, these relatives will also send special personnel to send the school-age children back for baptism with peach blossoms.

Finally, the parents of these children, that is, Qin Di's cousin and elders, all who could come also came.Adults without school-age children are not allowed to enter Taoyuan.

Today is a big day, Qin Di's father Qin Guangling came, two of the five uncles came, even the old man Qin Gaolan rushed over!
The old man is over eighty years old, he is not deaf, his eyes are not blurred, his back is straight, and he looks like he is 60 years old.It is said that this is also the benefit of worshiping the fall of the old peach tree.The longest time in that year, he used to linger for more than half an hour until three-quarters of a stick of incense was lit. This is the longest record left in a hundred years, and it ranks among the top three in the history of the Qin family.

After all the people arrived, they entered the compound under the leadership of the old man, worshiped the ancestors first, burnt incense on the ancestral tablet, kowtowed three times, recited the sacrificial oration, and kowtowed again.It took more than half an hour to finish a set of etiquette.By the end, the younger children were a little tired.

Although Qin Di is a time-traveling body, after all, he has integrated the soul of Xiao Qin Di, and with the calmness of growing older, he kowtowed honestly and sincerely with everyone.

It was the first time in the eyes of the elders that he was such an escaped person, and he was able to complete a set of etiquette in a proper manner.Therefore, father Qin Guangling was very happy, and couldn't help but nodded secretly, and at the same time kept praying: "God is open, I hope Yao'er can be enlightened this time. For him, this is the last chance!"

After paying homage to the ancestors, the old man didn't say much, and directly led everyone to the peach blossom backyard, asked the parents to tie ropes around the children's waists, and then told the children: "Try to stick to it, stay awake, stay as long as you can, and finally If it doesn’t work, just shake the rope twice, and the outside world will know.”

Although the old man didn't say much, the parents below kept talking non-stop.

"Don't panic, go slowly!"

"Don't go too deep in, do you see that stone? Just go there!"

"Don't pass that little flower pavilion! You won't be able to come back after you pass!"

Although repeatedly exhorted, the voice of speaking is not loud.

Qin Guangling, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, tied the rope around Qin Di's waist with his own hands. He didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder twice: "Go, Yao'er! If you get lucky, if you lose your life, do your best." , no regrets!"

Qin Di nodded, turned around and walked forward, but was a little moved in her heart.Anyway, such a big official and lord, Minister of Rites, minister-level figures, usually deal with a lot of things, facing their own incompetent young son, not only did not blame him, but even came to take care of him personally.As a father, to be able to do this is quite interesting!

Qin Di thought to himself: "Old man, although I have merged with little Qin Di's soul, my body is still your son. You are kind to me, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will try to repay you!"

Looking up, there is an old peach tree standing three hundred feet away, like a big banyan tree in the previous life, the trunk is enough for ten people to embrace, the tree is three feet high, but the crown is fifty feet long, with thousands of peach blossoms, and the new leaves are green. Swaying gently in the breeze.

He took a deep breath, walked forward at a leisurely pace, and gradually walked within three hundred feet of the tree trunk.

Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance of flowers came into the nose, it felt like a needle piercing the heart, and like a basin of ice water pouring on the top of the head, I couldn't help but trembled a few times!
After taking a sip suddenly, I feel that my eyes are brighter!
After taking a second breath, my ears were pricked up, and my hearing was enhanced!
After taking three breaths, my hands and feet felt slightly hot.

Qin Di thought: "This peach blossom is really a good thing, no wonder it is regarded as a treasure, and it has become a rare opportunity in the mouth of the third uncle! It really has a miraculous effect!"

After only taking five or six puffs, the child walking in front was already shaking!
Qin Di didn't shake, she just felt so good!His whole body was itchy, and his pores opened unconsciously, as if he had eaten a hundred and eight thousand ginseng fruits, not to mention how comfortable he was.This thing is a thousand times more comfortable than a sauna massage!
Unconsciously, he quickened his pace and walked forward quickly. The further he walked, the stronger the fragrance of flowers became!The feeling of comfort is even more indescribable.

After walking twenty or thirty steps, he didn't see that half of the children behind him shook the rope and were dragged out by adults!

Continuing to walk forward, Qin Di felt a burst of cold and heat, as if there was an invisible big hand, touching the depths of the soul, and like a trickle, constantly washing all parts of the body.

At this time, black liquid flowed out from his body surface, as if walking through mud.I even smelled a strong odor, as if I haven't bathed in ten years!
After walking another [-] steps, it was already time to make tea, most of the children behind were dragged out, only two or three were still persisting.

The old man looked at the rest of the people and nodded slightly, holding his long beard and smiling, "This year is not bad. With these children, the Qin family can have two more Hanlin scholars!"

Looking at Qin Di who was walking in the front, he saw that he was approaching Huating!He couldn't help frowning, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Have you gone too far? You can't go any further, you have to hold him back!"

Hearing this, Qin Guangling shook the rope and tried to hold Qin Di, reminding him not to go any further!

He didn't shout loudly, because he was in the Peach Blossom Courtyard, facing the old peach tree, according to the family rules of the Qin family, he couldn't shout loudly to disturb the peach god, let alone the ancestral tablet not far away!This is the greatest unfilial piety!

There are rules in the family, Taoyuan is not allowed to speak loudly!Even if the child is drunk to death inside, he can't shout loudly!

The rope trembled a few times, but Qin Di didn't feel it.Because after the baptism of peach fragrance, he seemed to be suffering from epilepsy at this time. Although he didn't foam at the mouth, the muscles all over his body were trembling, his spine was tense, and his neck was twitching intermittently!I have no awareness of the shaking of the rope!
For him, there is only the old peach tree in his heart, and only the pink flowers in front of his eyes!

The thick peach tree in front of him seemed to have turned into honey, attracting him to keep going forward.
