Chapter 1: Yuling
In the south of March, the flowers danced in the breeze, and the last residual red was helplessly fluttering down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The rich fragrance of info penetrates into the human body, and then throws the body away, and dissipates into the invisible with the breeze. The weeping willows on the embankment brushed the railing in the warm sunshine. Small but delicate boats float lightly in the oily green water. The countryside is also soaked in grass. Yellow warblers chirp on the branches and behind the leaves, and the swiftlets flash past the crowd of laughing tourists, causing a burst of amazement. This is already the season of late spring and early summer, like a delicate face after a faint and even application of rouge, like a young woman with a delicate body in a new dress. Let people smell it, nostalgia, can't be themselves.
Located in the heart of the entire northern region, the political and cultural center of the imperial capital ------ Haoran City, although it is not like the warm and humid Jiangnan has entered the season of "wounded spring", it is not like the northern frontier of the ice and snow melting, and the spring is cold. The spring of Haoran City in March came hesitantly, hesitantly, and turned over and over, as if it was difficult to make up your mind. But the willows in the city and the withered grass in the suburbs always inadvertently glow with a layer of tender green. Pink peaches, red apricots, pear trees, and some unknown wildflowers have also produced clusters of delicate flower bones with buds waiting to be released. From a distance, it was a misty place. Like a girl who has just woken up from sleep, like a psychedelic dream, it makes people feel comfortable and unconsciously indulge in it.
Spring has come, and the last trace of cold left in winter has also made the east wind blow away. In this charming season when the spring breeze brings warmth and the herbs are smoky. A few days ago, the canopy of the snow-capped Yuling had already appeared, a pale green, a plain white, or a pink, with occasional hints of goose yellow. Inadvertently, it gives people a kind of vitality, a tranquility, but also a kind of elegance, a clarity, and a touch of charm and desolation.
When it comes to 'ridge', it will make people think: "Towering and towering, deep mountains and dense valleys, waterfalls and strange rocks, inaccessible places of deep mountains and dense forests, or peaks and peaks, continuous thousands of miles, strange and dangerous, dangerous mountains and rivers, where barbarians and barbarians have lived for generations."
Not really. In addition to the area of the center with a radius of nearly 100 miles, the mountains are relatively low, but they are not bloated, but they reveal a sense of exquisite bells. It's like a fairyland on earth.
If you come at the right time, you can climb to the highest peak of Yuling. Looking into the distance, you will feel that if the sky is next to each other, the sea of clouds is like a brocade, the heaven and the earth are infinitely open, and the integration of the body is otherworldly, and the feeling of escape from the world arises spontaneously.
In Yuling, the mountains are dense and lush, but they are not gloomy. In the central area, there are countless rare birds and beasts, but they never appear on the periphery, let alone harm the world. Forests, mountain streams, spring streams are innumerable, converging into small pools in low places, dotted in the corner ridges, as if reflecting all the beautiful scenery and all the stories between this heaven and earth, and this fairyland on earth is integrated. People don't know which is the sky, which is the truth, which is the earth, and which is the image.
In this immortal mountain spiritual realm, there are some Taoist temples, temples, and halls scattered around, which merge with Yuling in the sea of clouds and mountains. Looming, if it is leaving, it gives people a sense of ethereal nothingness, but it is dignified and thick, a scene of a fairy resort.
Of course, this can only be if. There is no other reason, it is because of the Yuling range, except for a handful of days, it is basically surrounded by mountain fog all year round. Ordinary people, once they strayed into it, will lose their way, and will never be traced, let alone see such a beautiful place. Even if people can't get close to it, from a distance, the dense fog surrounded by Yuling is a different scenery, which seems so peaceful and quiet, so mysterious and distant.
But there was a group of people who turned a blind eye to the thick fog that rolled up and down in the ridge, and came and went freely, as if nothing happened. However, these people rarely appear in front of the world, except for going down to the mountain once a year in autumn to collect some items. In this way, the surrounding people worshipped the people on the corner ridge.
At the foot of the Yuling Mountains, about twenty or thirty miles to the south, the terrain is flat, and several small rivers flow from the Yuling Mountains. I don't know who first found out that it was settled here, and then more people settled here, and slowly formed a village, and now it has long become a small town.
Most of the people in the town make a living from farming. At the same time, there are also Taoist temples and temples in the Yuling Mountains, planting some herbs, raising some fierce beasts, or mining for a living. Don't underestimate these Taoist temples, temples, grass planting, animal breeding, and mining, they all know some Taoism. And many Taoist temples and temples are also quite good to the people, and they are generous. Therefore, the people here are quite wealthy, and they have no worries about food and clothing. In fact, there are still quite a few small towns like this within hundreds of miles around Yuling, scattered like stars, and there are several large towns.
The town is well planned, and most of the houses are well-decorated, with dark brown wall tiles reflecting the sky in the stream that flows through the town. Sometimes there are some bright petals shining in the stream, like peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms without bright colors; When you look closely, they sink with the waves and disappear in the swaying bright waves. The town is surrounded by sprouted farmland, with square fields in the middle, and rows of willows, elms, peach, apricots, and pears beside the ridges of the fields, which bring a pleasant fragrance when the breeze rises. In this flowering season, it looks hazy from afar, like a psychedelic and intoxicating dream, and seems to be integrated with the distant mountains looming in the heights. Further beyond the farmland is a large area of primeval forest, dotted with small villages, and a few post roads that appear in the forest connect the town with the outside world.
There was a lonely temple in the easternmost part of the town, with a dilapidated wooden courtyard door and a small courtyard planted with pear trees, which were full of pale white pear blossoms, and under the trees were tender fine grass, and a winding path paved with small gravel led to the entrance of the hall. A young boy of six or seven years old, holding a wooden box in his hand, sat on the broken stone steps, looking at the faint clouds flowing in the sky. There was not a sound in the room, and the eternal silence permeated the air, and directly opposite the door was only half of the clay statue; Under the window was a bed, with a small wooden table and some books scattered around, and a small stool under the bed, and nothing else in the room.
The light veil-like clouds seemed to hold He Yitian's infinite feelings, and he paced slowly and freely in the soft psychedelic dream...... It's easy
The cool breeze rose, the pear trees in the yard trembled a little, the pear blossoms fluttered like snow, and the grass and flower mist weaved into a strange fantasy. The wind swept into He Yitian's sleeve as it passed by, lightly cutting across his skin, taking away a trace of heat and leaving behind a wisp of floral fragrance.
He Yitian couldn't help but retract his gaze, such a beautiful dream in front of him made a trace of pain flash in his eyes. He unconsciously opened the wooden box in his hand and looked at the contents inside.
