In Shu Province in southwest China, Qingyun County is one hundred and ten miles to the west, there is a small basin with a radius of more than ten kilometers, and the surrounding terrain has a drop of nearly a kilometer, and the local people call it 'fairy bowl'.

Due to the topography, the basin has its own unique climate pattern, with temperatures ranging from 10 to 25 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Therefore, here is full of green trees all the year round, mountains and flowers are everywhere, flowing water is murmuring, and birds are singing, which is a good paradise scene.

In the middle of the basin, there is a small mountain peak with an altitude of only more than 2,000 meters, which looks very inconspicuous, but has an extremely domineering name - Tongtian Peak~!

The whole of Tongtian Peak is basically cone-shaped, but the top of the mountain is an extremely flat land, and at first glance it looks like someone has cut off the top of the mountain, which is very strange.

The top of the mountain is flat and round a mile up and down, there is a clear pond in the center, the water of the pond is as clear as the bottom, on a boulder on the edge of the pool, three ancient characters that have experienced the vicissitudes of life, carved is - Yingtian Pond!

A stone bridge composed of dozens of large stone piers, extending inward from the edge of the pool, connects the hexagonal stone platform that is tens of meters square on one side of the pool, and on the stone platform, a stone tower that is also hexagonal and has a strange style points to the sky.

The reason why it is quirky is that the tower has no spire, and there are no layers inside the tower, and it looks like a big chimney from top to bottom.

If it weren't for the three big characters of 'Babel Tower' inscribed on the tower gate, I'm afraid no one would think that this is a tower.

On the south side of the flat land at the top of the mountain, there is a stone road that winds down the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. On both sides of the stone road, among the green trees, the ancient buildings with simple style and red pillars are scattered.

Such a beautiful scenery is comparable to a fairyland on earth, and Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Source is probably nothing more than that.

The local people have passed on from mouth to mouth, in ancient times, there was once a fairy sect here, there were countless immortals in the door, and strange treasures were everywhere on the mountain and under the mountain. Later, the Lord of the Immortal Gate broke through the Great Dao of the Universe, took all the disciples and went to the sky through the Babel Tower on the top of the mountain.

Whether the legend is true or false has long been impossible to investigate, and now it has been circled and hung with a sign of "National AAAA-level Scenic Area".

With this as the center, it has driven the surrounding three towns and dozens of poor mountain villages to get rid of poverty and live a good life without worrying about food and clothing by developing tourism.

If you have the capital and brains, you can open a small inn at home, which can be described as making money every day. If you don't have the capital or ability, you can also find a job in the scenic spot to support your family, which is much better than guarding a few acres of thin fields and relying on the sky to eat~!

Our story begins on an ordinary night in the scenic area.

............。

After nightfall, Tongtian Peak was quiet, except for the uncle and aunt who were cleaning, the other staff had already left work one after another. If you are close to home, go down the mountain and go home, and if you are a little farther away, you will rest in the dormitory in the scenic area.

At this time, Huang Dahai, the captain of the security squad, with his two hardcore doglegs, Hou San and Zhao Changhai, was swaying towards the dormitory area.

As soon as he walked to the door of the dormitory area, Huang Dahai's mobile phone rang suddenly, he answered the phone and put it to his ear, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Okay...... No problem~...... Of course...... Brother treats...... Okay...... You decide where to ...... Good...... No problem...... See you or leave~!"

"Hey, hey, hey...... Brothers, come to a good thing~!" Huang Dahai hung up the phone, raised his mobile phone and smiled at Hou San and Zhao Changhai.

"What's the good thing?" the two were stunned for a moment, and Hou San immediately asked.

Huang Dahai said with a smug smile: "Hehe, I met Fang Lijuan in the morning, I said that I would ask her to have dinner and sing K in the evening, but she didn't agree at the time, saying that she would consider it......

Hehe, I didn't expect to agree at this time, and said that I would bring a few girlfriends with me, how about it?

As soon as he heard this, Hou San immediately came to his senses: "Fang Lijuan?

"Yo, okay, that chick is tasteful, I've been thinking about it for a long time~!" Zhao Changhai also had a lewd smile on his face.

The three of them weren't happy for a while, Huang Dahai suddenly smiled and slapped his head and said in annoyance: "Oops~! but...... It looks like I'm on the night shift tonight~!"

"Yes~!" Hou San was also stunned.

Zhao Changhai smiled nonchalantly: "Hey~!What's this?It's difficult to find a stupid~!Give him fifty yuan, he will definitely be happy to take the night shift for you~!"

"Huh, yes, why did you forget him?" The gloomy cloud on Huang Dahai's face immediately dissipated, and he laughed obscenely.

Not far away on the mountain road, a cleaning aunt was cleaning the garbage can, heard a few words from a distance, raised the broom in her hand and said with disdain: "Riguzi~!

Huang Dahai turned his head and replied: "I want you to take care of it~!

Hou San patted Huang Dahai's shoulder impatiently and said, "Hey, hey~!, don't ink with her, hurry up and find Silly Fan, get him, let's go to the appointment~!"

"Hey, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao~!" As soon as Huang Dahai turned his head, he saw a somewhat thin figure walking out of the dormitory building with a lunch box.

"Hey~!Yunfan~!Wait a minute~!" Huang Dahai hurriedly raised his hand and greeted.

Yun Fan turned his head to look at it, a trace of disgust appeared on his face, and he frowned slightly and replied, "What are you doing?"

Huang Dahai beckoned to Yunfan and said, "Oh, you come over first, it's a good thing~!"

Yun Fan pursed his lips and walked over, and said with a look of disdain: "What good can you have? Even if you have, you won't think about me, just say, what do you want to do?"

Huang Dahai glanced at Yun Fan angrily, took out his wallet, took out a green ticket and shook it in front of Yun Fan's eyes: "Is it a good thing to send you money?"

Yun Fan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the banknote and put it into his trouser pocket, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Take it?"

"What, fifty yuan is not enough?" Huang Dahai raised his eyebrows.

Yun Fan pouted impatiently and said, "I'm on duty for you, don't you have to punch in?" Do you want to use my time card?"

"Eh, of course you have to use mine, otherwise Lao Tzu's full attendance will be gone this month~!" Huang Dahai hurriedly took out the attendance card and handed it to Yun Fan.

Yun Fan stretched out his hand to take it, then stopped talking, turned around and continued to walk towards the staff canteen, while Huang Dahai and the others snickered secretly and walked quickly into the ancient dormitory building. I made an appointment with a girl, so I had to change my outfit to pull the wind.

"Yun Fan~!" Seeing Yun Fan coming, the cleaning aunt who had witnessed everything stopped him: "You really agreed? Do you lack him the fifty yuan? Do you know what those melons say about you behind their backs?"

Yun Fan stopped, with an indifferent smile on his face: "It's okay Aunt Li, let them say it, will I be stupid if they say I'm stupid?" and...... I'm really short of money~!I'm not afraid that he will send me money every day~!"

"Hey~!you kid~!" Aunt Li shook her head helplessly, and asked in a low voice, "Is your mother still like that?"

Yun Fan sighed helplessly: "Alas~! I saw it, but the doctor said that the blood in her brain had been congested for too long, it had been solidified, and it could not be resolved by medicine, and if she wanted to be completely cured, she had to have a craniotomy." ”

"Yo, the surgery is expensive, isn't it?" Aunt Li sighed when she heard this.

Yun Fan smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's not very expensive, it's very special and extremely expensive~! The cost of the early surgery alone will cost 400,000, plus the cost of later recovery, it will cost almost 780,000." ”

"Yo, do you want so much? With your little salary, you have to save until the Year of the Monkey?" Aunt Li exclaimed when she heard this.

Yun Fan shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Hey~!Let's take a step at a time, I haven't thought about it yet, the risk of surgery is very high, the doctor said that the success rate is at most five or five, if it fails, it is likely to kill my mother~!"

"Hey~!How good is this~!" Aunt Li shook her head and sighed: "Your mother has been stupid for so many years, and it is nothing that can be cured, it just drags you down, such a good young man, I can't find a partner!"

Look at the few just now, all of them look like thieves with eyebrows, rat eyes, sharp beaks, monkey gills, and warblers and swallows all day long. Now why are these girls blinded by lard?

To say, a few years ago, when there was no tourist area, although the life was poor, but at that time the people's hearts were simple, the eldest girl was looking for a husband, and she wanted to have a good heart and be diligent.

Whether the days are poor or rich, two people running together, how can it be like now? Everyone wants to climb to the sky in one step, and they will only look at money, family history, and background......

"Hey~!Aunt Li, I'm still young, don't be in a hurry to find a partner~!" Yun Fan waved his hand to interrupt Aunt Li'er's memories of the past, and said with a smile: "And I believe that there are still good girls, but fate has not yet arrived~!"

"Alas~!That's right~!Okay, then I'll go first, and a few garbage cans will be confiscated~!You should go to eat too!" Aunt Li smiled wordlessly, bent down to load the collected garbage bags into the trolley, and Yun Fan hurriedly reached out to help.

Seeing off Aunt Li, Yun Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, blew away the haze in his heart, turned around and trotted all the way to the canteen, ate the food in three bites and two bites, then got up and left the canteen, and climbed straight to the top of the mountain Babel Tower Scenic Area.

Yun Fan is also a security guard, but the area he is responsible for is several scenic spots such as the Library Pavilion, Yanwu Hall, and Daode Hall on the mountainside.

Huang Dahai, who asked him to replace him, was responsible for the security patrol of the Yingtian Tan and Babel attractions on the top of the mountain.

In contrast, security is much more important there than in other parts of the area.

Before the development, except for the strange tower on the top of the mountain and the giant monument on the side of the Yingtian Tan, the other buildings on Tongtian Peak were all broken tiles and rotten wood, and the existing buildings were rebuilt later.

In other words, what library pavilion, Yanwu Hall and the like, can only be regarded as antique buildings, but the Babel Tower and Yingtian Tan on the top of the mountain are real historical relics. And even cultural relics experts can't say the specific age, in other words, it's so long that there is no history to examine~!

The Chinese civilization has a long history, but the written history is only more than 5,000 years, and the Babel Tower and the Yingtian Tan on the top of the mountain are obviously beyond the scope of these 5,000 years, and their historical value is self-evident.

Therefore, when Qingyun County decided to develop tourism here, it was opposed by many historians.

It was only later that after argumentation, it was believed that the Tower of Babel and the Yingtian Tan Stone Tablet were only of some historical research value, and they were just a pile of stones for ordinary people.

............。

Yun Fan was familiar with the road and walked briskly, and soon reached the top of the mountain, and walked straight into a wooden hut on the edge of the flat land on the top of the mountain.

This hut was also built later, although it is also in the style of an antique building, but it is actually a security guard duty room.

As soon as he entered the door of the duty room, Yun Fan immediately frowned and raised his hand to cover his nose.

"I'm ...... Does it smell like this?" Yun Fan held his breath and stretched out his hand to open the window: "Whew~! Nima, the pigsty is cleaner than this." ”

Yun Fan casually picked up a magazine on the table and fanned the turbid air in the room towards the window, then he forcibly endured the residual sour smell and sat down at the table. Then he took out Huang Dahai's time card, put it on the card reader next to the table and swiped it.

The night was long, and Yun Fan didn't have a smartphone, so he could only flip through a few magazines and books on the table.

Flipped through three books in a row, all of them were the so-called 'body art' of selling dog meat with a sheep's head, Yun Fan rolled his eyes and threw it aside, and said disdainfully: "Damn, a group of scumbags~!"

Opened the last magazine, revealing a thick book underneath, the cover was torn off, Yun Fan looked at the preface a few times, and found that it was a Xianxia novel.

"Well, that's not bad~!" Yun Fan muttered to himself, then leaned back in his chair and looked through.

Yun Fan is a fan of novels, especially those who love fantasy fairies. is also because he is reluctant to buy those expensive smartphones, so he can only rely on these cheap novels to pass the boring time.

I have to say that this unknown novel is really well written, the plot is ups and downs, the language is vivid, Yun Fan gradually became fascinated by it, and time passed unconsciously.

The night was getting deeper, and the small alarm clock at the corner of the table rang dibly, Yun Fan raised his eyes and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and the alarm clock was to remind the personnel on duty that it was time to go on patrol.

Yun Fan put down the book in his hand, reached out to turn off the alarm clock, got up and took off the bright flashlight and rubber stick on the wall, turned around and walked out of the duty room.

At night, the Tower of Babel stands like a giant black pillar in the center of the Reflecting Heaven, with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere in the quiet.

Yun Fan walked leisurely, circled around Yingtian Tan, and the strong flashlight in his hand swept around. Seeing that the top of the mountain was calm and unusual, he wandered back to the duty room, picked up the nameless novel and prepared to continue reading.

And at this moment, a strong light suddenly shot into the open window, which made Yun Fan subconsciously squint his eyes.

He looked up and was immediately stunned by what he saw.

I saw a snow-white pillar of light, shining straight down from the sky, and accurately submerged into the Tower of Babel.

In the small windows randomly scattered on the tower, there is also a snowy white light transmitting out, and the whole tower becomes dazzling, and the entire mountain top flat ground is as bright as day.

Before Yun Fan could exclaim, the pillar of light disappeared in an instant, and after only two or three seconds, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"I'll it~!What's the situation?Lightning strike?No,How can lightning be so straight?and...... I didn't hear the thunder either~!The most important thing is ...... It's a sunny day, isn't it? It's full of stars...... Where did the thunder come from?"

Puzzled in his heart, Yun Fan hurriedly picked up the flashlight and rubber stick, and rushed out of the duty room quickly.

Running along the stone bridge to the front of the Tower of Babel, Yun Fan stopped and used a flashlight to shine into the tower door of the black hole, and found nothing abnormal, so he held his breath and walked in with courage.
