Chapter 122: Pretty Woman in the Rain

When we came out of the ancestral hall, Tian Ji looked at Ling Ran's back and disappeared into the night, and admired and said that Ye Jiuqing and Ling Ran were both temperamental, and they had no regrets in this life.

"The mountains and rivers are still there, the two of them are high and widowed, one good and one evil complement each other, it seems that I didn't come to Gusu in vain." I nodded and smiled.

"It's not a fuel-efficient lamp either." Gong Jue walked to his side, and his voice was cold.

"You didn't talk much all night, I saw that you didn't look right." I turned my head to look at the palace lord and asked suspiciously. "What's wrong?"

"Ling Ran recognizes the necklace you're wearing." The palace lord blurted out.

"Recognize the necklace?!" I was stunned.

"At the banquet, when you pulled off your collar, Ling Ran's eyes fell on the necklace at that time, and I am sure he recognized your necklace." The palace lord nodded, and his face was calm. "If it's an ordinary necklace, forget it, there is a feather dragon pattern in it, don't you feel strange that Ling Ran recognizes it, and he doesn't say a word about deliberately concealing it, Ling Ran wants to cover it up to show that he knows something, and it is related to this chain."

"Could it be that you think too much, he didn't say anything, just said something quite chic." Tian Ji asked after thinking back for a long time.

"I'd rather think about it more, otherwise, this Gu Su Ling family is afraid that there are still many secrets that we don't know." Gong Jue replied with a sigh.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, there are people waiting in front of us to take us to rest, the Ling family's ancient house is really big and a little outrageous, if no one leads the way here, I really don't know how to get out, the whole ancient house is like a forest garden, it took a long time to get to the place where we lived, and outside the house we saw Ye Zhiqiu walking back and forth anxiously.

"What are you hanging around here?" I asked with a smile.

Ye Zhiqiu saw us, he didn't speak and breathed a sigh of relief, probably because he was worried that something would happen to us if he followed Ling Ran, thinking of her threatening Ling Ran in Yinxiang Drunken Moon Tower, I couldn't help but want to laugh, I didn't see that this girl was even more terrifying than Ye Jiuqing.

"Zhiqiu, why did you come to Gusu?" Tian Ji asked.

"As soon as you walked on your front foot, Uncle Wei came to me and said that you came to see your uncle." Ye Zhiqiu pursed his lips and replied. "My dad didn't dare to come here, I really don't know what he thinks, he actually brought you here, my uncle hates the most is the tomb robber, and your temperament, three sentences are not suitable for the person who will turn his face, when I see my uncle, I don't know what you will do, I put it down and followed."

"Jiang is still old and spicy, where would the old thing think so much, it's the shopkeeper who is worried that I will collide with Ling Ran." I said to Ye Zhiqiu with a faint smile. "So let the general deliberately tell you, I guess you will come to stir up trouble, Ling Ran will not like us again, and he can't do anything with you, a niece."

"This matter is not over, the shopkeeper is not authentic, I have to go back to him to make it clear, he provoked the matter in the Ling family, he pushed us over without saying anything, the shopkeeper is sorry for the Ling family, we don't know anything, and help him resist Ling Ran, this is not unreasonable, let's not take advantage of it." Tian Ji said.

"If a person drinks water and knows it, the shopkeeper was also heartfelt to Ling Ran back then, and he didn't hide it at all, and the matter between him and Ling Ran's sister was also a mutual relationship, no one can blame for this, if you really want to calculate it, the fault is Ling Ran, who asked him to bring the shopkeeper back and lure the wolf into the room......" I shook my head and smiled bitterly. Ling Ran really said this correctly, even if the shopkeeper was a wolf, he brought it back by himself, and he was no different. ”

Ye Zhiqiu asked us why we suddenly came to Gusu for no reason, of course we didn't dare to tell her to dig the tomb, and we cooperated with his uncle, she was already disgusted with tomb robbing, to know this, I am really afraid that this Ling family's ancient house will not be able to be saved, I will let everyone go to sleep first, what is there tomorrow, since Ling Ran has been relieved, with his feng shui attainments, with his help, I believe that the matter of Gusu will be solved soon.

When I got up early the next morning, I saw Ling Ran standing outside when I went out, we packed our things and prepared to leave, but Ling Ran didn't look like he was going to travel far.

"It's not far to go to Tiger Hill, you go to the Shuangjing Bridge in Tiger Hill Sword Pool, where is there someone waiting for you." After Ling Ran finished speaking, he handed me a delicate compass.

"You're not going?" Tian Ji asked suspiciously.

"Ling Ran is alone and self-isolating from the ancestors, the Ling family's feng shui mystic art is no longer qualified to use it, I can't help you." After Ling Ran finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The three of us stood behind at a loss, originally thinking that Ling Ran had abolished his clan registration just to help us check the feng shui without violating the ancestral teachings, but when he said this, it seemed that we were completely wrong.

Taking advantage of Ye Zhiqiu's presence, I put away the compass and the palace lord and Tian Ji hurriedly rushed to the place where Ling Ran said, Tiger Hill is located in the northwest suburbs of Suzhou City, according to legend, Wu Wangfu sent his father to bury his father here in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there was a white tiger on it three days after the burial, hence the name.

We go to Tiger Hill, just happen to be misty and rainy, we see the simple and majestic thousand-year-old Tiger Hill Tower standing on the top of the mountain, Tiger Hill Mountain is not big, but the rock is towering, the weather is thousands, no wonder it is called the first scenic spot in Wuzhong, it is beautiful from afar, just like an ink painting.

The Sword Pond that Ling Ran asked us to go to is the most fascinating historical site in Tiger Hill, and I am no stranger to the Sword Pond, although I have never been there, but when I was a child, I heard a bunch of earth rats mention this place.

It is rumored that under the sword pond is the tomb of King Wu Lu, this place does not know how many tomb robbers have patronized, although there are many rumors, but no one has really found any traces of the ancient tomb.

Standing on the double bridge, you can see the Tiger Hill Sword Pool, four strong and vigorous big characters, the water in the pond below is not dry all year round, clear to the bottom, there is an endless stream of visitors who come to watch, we waited for a long time and don't know who we are waiting for, suddenly remembered the compass that Ling Ran handed over to me, took it out and thought that there was any hint in it, but after looking at it for a long time, there was nothing except the rotating pointer.

"Follow me." A gentle and pleasant voice came from the opposite side, like the water of the sword pond not panicking.

We looked up and saw a woman like water, with bright eyes like water, delicate and gentle, and Yiren was like jade, standing in front of us with an umbrella.

The continuous yellow plum rain permeated the Tiger Hill, the woman was pure and elegant, as if the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River was intoxicating, the drizzle wet her clothes, and the clear shadow was like a dream with the unique charm of the women in the south of the Yangtze River.

If she had held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, I would have thought she was the person in the painting.

We followed the woman, and she led us to the mountain behind Tiger Hill, all the way west until we saw a mausoleum of considerable size.

In front of the tomb stands a pair of tall Chinese watches, and there are one civil and military generals in front of the door. The stone gate of the cemetery is extraordinary, there is a relief of the lying lion on both sides of the door, enter the cemetery, you can see three stele pavilions, and the top of the pavilion is the coiled dragon caisson of stone carving.

After enjoying the hall is the stone archway, and ten big characters are engraved on the forehead of the door.

Ancient Suzhou Tiger Hill Lu Gongshou Domain.

"This is Lu Qiao's mausoleum!" I was startled and stood up from the stele.

"A eunuch is buried so magnificently after death?!" Tian Ji said in shock.

This mausoleum is not only a sentence that can be described in a grand sentence, but also preserves a large number of stone carvings such as gatehouses and Huabiao, and in terms of burial system, Lu Qiao's tomb is completely inconsistent with his identity, and it has obviously exceeded the system.

In particular, the eight-sided bas-relief of the Huabiao Sumeru seat tunic has a dragon pattern on it, which is an exclusive decoration that can only be enjoyed by the emperor, and this mausoleum area is actually given by Ming Sizong, which shows how prominent Lu Qiao's status was at that time.

"Eunuchs were autocratic in the Ming Dynasty, and they were close to the pinnacle of power, so it is not surprising that there are such tombs." Gong Jue said.

"This ...... That's not right. Tian Ji frowned and looked at us. Hua Xishuang asked us to find the pine bottle in the blue and white pine and cypress flowers from Lu Qiao's tomb, the tomb is placed here, why should Hua Xishuang work to find the shopkeeper to come forward. ”

I was also reacted to by Tian Ji's words, and walked a few steps forward to see several robbery holes around the dungeon, and the ages are different, it seems that this tomb has long been patronized, and what I didn't expect is that the door of the dungeon is open, and there are people coming and going one after another from the inside.

It seems to have become a scenic spot for tourists to visit, not to mention any pine bottles inside, it is estimated that there is no slag.

"The terrain here is low-lying, there is Tiger Hill Mountain behind, it is the green dragon position, the white tiger riding the green dragon is a taboo in feng shui, the white tiger raises its head, hurts people and is desperate, and the dragon fights for the tiger and fights for blood." A woman's voice came from behind us. "There are ten places that are not buried, among which there are not buried dragon and tiger tips, it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, the Mingtang is leaky here, the case mountain is a snake, the water is regarded as a ruthless landscape, this place can be described as feng shui sorrow, it is a poor place."

We looked back at the woman behind us, Tian Ji hesitated for a long time, frowned and asked me, "What did she mean?" ”

"Before I came, I looked through the county chronicles, which have a record of Lu Qiao, this person entered the palace at the age of nine, served Xizong since he was a child, and was deeply trusted by two generations of emperors, so he enjoyed all the glory and wealth in his life, Lu Qiao's life is very faithful to feng shui, and quite a lot of research." I replied as I pondered. "Since Lu Qiao believes in feng shui, the tomb will not be hasty after death, this is not a place for a yin burial, why did he choose the mausoleum here?"

"I also feel strange when you say that, just now I saw a lot of patterns of gnats on the stele mountain, and I dug the tomb for some days, this pattern means that there are many sons and grandchildren, Lu Qiao is a eunuch, and has no heirs, where did he come from to have many sons and grandchildren." Tian Ji said with a puzzled face.

"Didn't Hua Xishuang say that after Lu Qiao's death, Sizong gave him hundreds of fertile fields as a good city, and Sizong himself made an obituary and ordered a tomb to be built for it." Gong Jue walked up to us and said. "This place was not chosen by Lu Qiao himself, and presumably these stone inscriptions are not what he meant."

"Lu Qiao has no queen, no one needs to worship, Si Zong gave the land with good intentions, but Lu Qiao can definitely see that it is not suitable for burial here, but how dare he disobey what the king has given him, but since Lu Qiao believes in feng shui, he should know that he is buried here and cannot be turned over forever, and the mausoleum is repaired here......" I suddenly opened my mouth and looked at the woman who spoke before. But Lu Qiao is not buried here! ”
