Chapter 107: Hanging Gardens
The pinball flew in the direction of Xiao Lei, seeing that the trajectory was about to pass by the nestling's side, the nestling was in a hurry, and struggled to lean over, stretched its neck to top the pinball, and the big blue and black ball gently rubbed on the top of its head, and bounced up, and the nestling fell into the water with a pop.
The white body has grown a lot now, but the little white fox knows that he is not as good at running and jumping as other small beasts, so he has not chased the pinball, but stayed behind to observe, and then saw the pinball flying, and immediately ran to the position, the little white fox jumped up and put the pinball in the air.
With this pinball, the amusement park of the pool is more attractive, Chen Jing watched the little beasts fighting for the pinball by the pool, all of them were full of vitality and energy, and he couldn't help but feel very satisfied, this pinball was doing well.
There is nothing for him to do here, Chen Jing's figure swept up, with huge boulders under his feet, and walked along the canal in the direction of the guest house.
After leaving the water park for some distance, Chen Jing suddenly appeared on a big rock, he stopped and looked around, and then jumped onto the next big rock.
Chen Jing stopped and walked on the boulder, surveying the terrain along the way, looking for a suitable place to build a garden. The seeds of the Heavenly Fantasy Gourd have been planted, and they will be transplanted into the courtyard in a few months, and now it is necessary to transplant some strange flowers and plants in the courtyard to make room for the Heavenly Fantasy Gourd.
Chen Jing also has a lot of ideas in his heart about how to build this garden, but what kind of garden or even garden he wants to build still depends on the specific terrain.
He checked the terrain all the way, passed by the State Guest House, and in front of him was the lotus pond, which should be carefully taken a closer look.
The huge turquoise lotus leaves in the lotus pond cover half of the pond, in addition to the cave house, the scenery of the lotus pond is the first on the Lingyan Mountain, and the ice lotus jade lotus will definitely be more beautiful in the future.
Therefore, Chen Jing also prefers to build the garden near the lotus pond, and it is best to connect the two places to form a garden.
Chen Jing walked around here a few times, rejecting one plan after another, and new ideas kept pouring out, and gradually, an idea gradually became clear in his mind.
The lotus pond is dug out of the sloping hillside, and compared to the surrounding area, it is sunk into the hillside.
Opposite the canal connected to the lotus pond, a flat land of the same height and size as the lotus pond can be filled in to create a garden.
In this way, the garden and the lotus pond form a garden, with the canal as the central line, the lotus pond near the top of the hill sinks into the hillside, and the garden near the hill below rises above the hillside, and the two parts present a wonderful balance.
As for why the garden needs to be filled in with flat land, it is because the heavy rain in Lingyan Mountain is too strong, and the slope will be washed away.
Of course, it is also possible to transform the sloping land into terraces and create layers of gardens, but there are many terraced fields on the mountain, and Chen Jing does not plan to use this plan this time.
The canal between the garden and the pool can be covered with stone slabs, and there is a yellow glow of pine cones, which is not a problem at all.
Chen Jing thought about it, this plan also has a disadvantage, that is, to fill in a piece of flat land as high as the lotus pond and about the same size, which requires a lot of soil and stones, which is very troublesome, of course, the project can be done in stages, at the beginning, it is only necessary to create a small garden that can be transplanted in the cave, which does not require much soil.
It occurred to him that perhaps there would not be so much earth and stone needed at all, that the soil in this garden was more than a foot deep, that it was enough to plant large trees, that the bottom of the soil layer could be completely hollow, and that the space below could be used as a cave, or even a building could be built, turning the garden into a hanging garden on the roof.
Chen Jing thought about it, it is still a good plan for the hanging garden, now there are two or three kittens on the mountain, and it is not practical to build any more buildings, but Lingyan Mountain will be greatly developed in the future, and the buildings under the garden will definitely be useful in the future.
With the power of Huang Xia of Pine Cone, there is no technical difficulty in building these buildings.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was good, so it was decided, but even if he didn't have to fill in so much soil, it was still a big project, and it still had to be built in stages, and the first step was to build a small garden and transplant the spiritual plants in the cave.
However, Chen Jing thought for a while, the spirit flowers and plants were transplanted into this small garden, and after the entire sky garden was completed, these spirit plants needed to be transplanted to the most suitable position again.
Therefore, the small garden does not need to be built, you can first transplant the spiritual flowers and plants in the cave to the terraces, and then transplant them to the garden after the whole garden is built.
In addition, the construction of this hanging garden will consume a lot of time and energy of Chen Jing and Songguo, and it will also slow down the reclamation of terraces, so there is no need to rush.
Chen Jing decided to survey the terrain first, carefully design the construction plan, and try to build the garden with a relatively small amount of work.
……
In the study, Chen Jing stood in front of the three-story flower stand, a pale green light mist shrouded most of the flower stands, and in the flower pots on the flower stands, the leaves of Xuanyang ginseng stretched out, absorbing a lot of light and mist, and the seedlings of the Heavenly Illusion Gourd also tried their best to absorb the light mist.
Nine of the gourd seeds planted in the first batch have germinated one after another, and a total of twelve gourd seeds have been planted before, and the germination rate is three-quarters, which is very high for such a delicate spiritual plant as a gourd.
Chen Jing pondered that this should be because he had the Qingdi Immortal Sutra, and the quality of the gourd planted was higher, so the germination rate of the gourd seeds produced was also high.
After taking care of the Xuanyang Ginseng and the Heavenly Illusion Gourd, Chen Jing left the study and came to the courtyard, and now he was about to start transplanting the strange flowers and plants that could not provide more spiritual energy when cultivating the Blue Emperor Immortal Sutra into the terraced fields.
He took out a small white jade flower hoe, the flower hoe was less than a foot long, the whole body was made of white jade, the handle was carved with entwined flower vines, and the whole flower hoe exuded a layer of jade-white spiritual light.
This white jade flower hoe was found by Chen Jing in the miscellaneous items in the Black Wind Thief's vault, according to the grade, the flower hoe is a high-grade magic weapon, but it can only be used to grow spirit flowers and plants, and it is useless in battle.
There are a lot of things like meteoric iron kitchen knives and white jade flower hoes among the sundries, because they can't be used for fighting, so they are randomly stuffed into the Qiankun bag containing the sundries.
Chen Jing sacrificed the white jade flower hoe, slightly urging the mana, and the white light on the flower hoe was full, and it swelled to three feet long. As soon as his mind moved, the flower hoe slowly fell to the ground, and a hoe dug out a large square clod of soil from the ground, and a black wind grass with dark green leaves was growing in the middle of the clod, Chen Jing put the clod of soil into a large square flower pot, and carried the flower pot to the outside of the cave.
Transplanting a spirit grass had to run back and forth between the cave and the planting area, and he couldn't walk slowly, so Chen Jing flew all the way to the planting area with the flower pot.
