The grave, the grave, the oblique, the ancient tomb of the palace people. According to legend, the ancient village of Tsukasa is the "Concubine Yu" of King Yu, the founder of the Yuan Emperor of the Xia Dynasty, and the mausoleum of the palace people of the later Yue Dynasty. This place is surrounded by mountains, there is Qinwang in the north, Longshan in the south, elephant trunk in the west, and Hongxi in the south. The Shunjiang River comes from the north of the village and goes around the east of the village.

The ancestor of the Yu family of the Tsukasa oblique Yu created a family with the surname Xi, and then derived the Yu family from the third son of King Yu (note 1). More than eighty percent of the village is surnamed Yu, Yu is the descendant of Yu, according to legend, Yu has three sons, three sons are rare, given the surname Yu, there are several years of Tu Shan's meaning. The whole ancient village, backed by the mountain, leaned on the hillside and built, a stream flows around the village, outside the stream is a large area of farmland, and there are also green mountains in the south. Looking around, the end is wrapped in silver, the scenery is suitable, and it is eye-catching.

Not far from the entrance of the village is the ancestral hall of the Yu family, it was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, sits in the north and faces south, there are two entrances before and after and the east and west look at the building, there is an ancient stage built-in, the building is exquisite, the carving is gorgeous, the flagpole stone is set up at the entrance of the ancestral hall, there are two tall flagpoles embedded in the stone, slender and straight, straight to the blue sky. There is a wall in front of the ancestral hall, one side is written "this branch of the hundred generations", the other side is "long history", it is a typical ancestral hall pattern. Every year on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, the village will hold a ceremony to sacrifice Yu here.

The ancestral hall has two entrances before and after, it is a courtyard format, and behind the front hall of the ancestral hall is the stage, and the two sides are the towers. The ancestral hall building is also extremely exquisite, the style is elegant and simple, the brick wall and stone pillars, the corbel is carved with all kinds of characters and lions, the shape is unique, vivid. The back wall of the main hall is the shrine, hanging the Ming Dynasty champion military department Shangshu Yu Huang, the Qing Dynasty Henan political envoy Yu Shantao, because of the eighth place in the Enke Hall test, so it is called the eight masters, and the portrait of the Yu sages such as Yu Jingong, the mayor of Beijing during the Republic of China, there are plaques such as "Mingde Hall", "Baoli Dongtu" in the hall, these antiquities have not been easy to preserve.

A few of us walked slowly into the stone bullet road outside the village, and many old houses were scattered along the way, as if they had traveled from modern times to ancient times all at once.

When I saw the layout of this ancient village, I involuntarily took out the compass from my clothes, looked at the compass for a long time, and said: "There are hugs on both sides, there are leans on the back, there are photos in the front, and there are bubbles in the photos. ”

There are hugs on both sides, which means that the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right are surrounded by mountains on both sides, because "the Tibetan wind gathers qi for the true acupoint, and the wind blows the air and disperses the longevity of Ding Zhu", and the good mountain is surrounded by the left and right sides, and it is affectionate and can also gather qi. The meaning of the back has to refer to the position of the rear Xuanwu, and it is also the position of the mountain, which must be against the mountain and face the water, and the high place is the mountain and the low place is the water. In the art of feng shui, the front of the house is called the Ming Hall, so there is a photo in front of the house to indicate that the Ming Hall is very cheerful. There are bubbles in the photo, and the bubble represents water vapor, which means water on the mountain.

The site of the ancient village is surrounded by green mountains and green water, which reflects the ideal living environment where the essence of feng shui thought is located. The boundaries of the village are clear, and the water system and road pattern in the village are perfectly integrated with the principles of feng shui. Most of the buildings are facing north and south, and the whole village is divided into two parts, north and south, and the ancient buildings in the village are centered on the origin house and gradually spread to the surrounding areas, which also confirms the traditional pattern of the origin house from the level of architectural layout. The roundabouts in the village are smooth, the roads extend in all directions, and the ancient village buildings are also divided into several long units.

In addition, through careful design and construction, the builder made full use of the natural drop to build a dense cobweb-like drainage ditch and several wells in the village, which not only provided good production and living facilities for the villagers, but also played a key role in fire protection and flood control.

"Oh, you're here again, what do you stink?" Chen Ziyue glared at me.

"I'm telling the truth, only such a beautiful place can give birth to such a beautiful and intelligent woman as Sister Qian."

"Ouch, young master cousin, what's wrong with you today, I'm embarrassed to praise me."

"Where, where, I'm not the first to come to the treasure party, and I ask the master to take care of me."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Feng Shui also has another requirement for the front of the building, "There is a case in front of the building, and the far joy is in the heart, if the case does not come for the wilderness, the middle house will be ruined and the fortune will be invaded", which means that although the hall should be open, there should be a building or a mountain of moderate height as a buffer at a certain appropriate distance from the Ming Hall.

Snowflakes drift down from the silver-gray sky, like white butterflies fluttering in the wind. The ground is covered with snowflakes, and from a distance, it looks like a silvery white ocean. And from the road of the ancient village to the outside of the mountain, the mountains are reckless, like the original Chi wax elephant, the cold wind blows, the forest dances with a tall and burly figure, like a silver snake dances.

"It's beautiful." Chen Ziyue couldn't help but sigh.

"In the future, I will build a grass house here and settle down a home, what do you think?"

"To die, I want you to live alone, so that our mother and mother will not accompany you."

As I walked, I saw a gray-walled and tiled building complex in front of me, called "Eight Old Masters Taimen". This house occupies a huge area, there are many houses, and there are three finely carved doors in front of the house. The largest gate in the middle is specially for officials to enter and exit, and most people go through the left and right gates. A flagpole stone slab is erected on both sides of the middle gate, and there is the inscription "Enke Daoguang Xinsi", which records the glory of the "Eight Masters" high school jinshi.

The snow still keeps falling, like pearls, crystal clear, like goose feathers, one after another, like elves in the sky, naughty and lovely, like catkins and flowers, falling from the sky......

"Sister Qi, here, this is the patriarch's house." Xu Qian said, "Recently, the mound has been harassed, and the patriarch has become depressed at home, so let's go in directly." ”

She nodded, motioning for us to slow down and follow her in. Entering the mansion, look up to see the carved beams and paintings, the cornices and corners, and look down to have delicate floor tiles and pebbles to make up the pattern, and the scenery changes step by step, which is dizzying. The most eye-catching is all kinds of exquisite carvings, as if in the sculpture museum, Lin Kun paid special attention to the wood carvings on the door panel, between the square inches, the grass and trees are lifelike, the expressions of the characters are vivid, the cuteness is cute, take a closer look, each one expresses a legendary story, the meaning is timeless, and it makes people dizzy.

We visited the patriarch of the Tsukasa Slope Yu clan first, and informed the intention of coming, but the patriarch was very old, and because of the theft of the oracle bones in the ancestral hall, he became depressed.

"Sister Qi, where are we going next? I'm afraid I can't find any clues to Yehe's peace in the village. I said.

"Go to the back mountain."

"Back Mountain? What to do in the back mountains? ”

"Do you remember the third message on the piece of paper that Ou Zhi gave us?"

"Burial Dragon Pit?" I suddenly recalled, "I have never heard of this dragon burial pit, is it in the back mountain?" ”

"The burial dragon pit is another secret of Yuling, few outsiders know, this burial dragon pit is the same as the lock dragon well, all from the legend, when the king of Yu locked the dragon, locked it in the deep well, the same, there is another legend, that is, the evil dragon was beaten into the bottom of the burial dragon pit, and since then it can not be evil in the world."

I wondered, "Then what is the secret of this dragon burial pit, so that Ye Heping will not hesitate to take risks?" ”

"There are no secrets, sometimes, it's the biggest secret."

After speaking, Ji Weiqi got up and left the ancient mansion. The snow fell in the narrow old alleys, a lonely sky, a few broken stones scattered in the alleys, the rare wild grass in winter dotted the heel of the wall, and a few familiar shepherd's leaves were stretching and swaying in the wind.

The dust of history has long been obliterated in the past scenery, and now, Dataimen is unwilling to be lonely through a thousand years of time, exuding a lot of sultry reverie charm, so that future generations can recall infinitely......

When we left the ancient village, looking back, the smoke rising in the mountains, the loud cries of cattle and sheep, the chorus of chickens and ducks competing for food, and the bubbling stream of the small Shunjiang River disappeared in our eyes.

The snow has covered the way up the mountain, and it is now dangerous to go up the mountain. We took out our trekking poles and began to make our way down the rugged trail towards the inaccessible terrain.

The snow on the mountain was blown by the wind, and a large tree that was slanted on the side of the mountain was broken upside down. The pine trees stood verdantly in the white snow, swaying with the bitter northwest wind, and let out a sharp and piercing whistling, as if deliberately defying winter.

By noon, the snow had not stopped. Huge snowflakes fell from the dim sky. Lin Kun and the others looked down from the mountainside, and in an instant, the mountains, rivers, fields, and villages were all shrouded in white snow. Dalong Mountain in the north of the village and a large area of mountains and forests in the south of the village hide the ancient roads of the big and small Xiling and Mapiling, which are also covered by snow at this time, and have the artistic conception of "the birds in front of the mountains fly away, and the traces of people disappear in ten thousand paths".

After walking for a short time, I saw several mounds that were fenced with bamboo fences, and after a closer look, I found that there were several such mounds, which stretched to the nearby hills, and most of them were buried by wild grass. ”

Ji Weiqi nodded heavily in her heart, "The oblique word of the mound oblique refers to the tomb of the palace people, one says that the people of the Yue Kingdom Palace are mostly buried here, and the other says that the concubine of Dayu is buried behind the ancient village oblique, so it is called the mound oblique." This is located in the back mountain, the ancestors of the mound sloping village for generations are buried here, I really didn't expect a turmoil, even to the ancestors sleep restlessly. ”

Exegesis:

1. According to the "Genealogy of the Yu Family Tree" and other documents, Dayu has three sons, the third son is called Han, and the surname is Yu, which commemorates Yu's wife Tu Shan. It has always thrived here. The surname Yu is not only a descendant of Dayu, but also the destination of Dayu Concubine, and Dayu has a close relationship, so it is known as "Yu descendant resort".
