Chapter 3: The Strange Tomb

Bluestone Villa is located in a relatively gentle col at the foot of Longyun Mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This col is quite large, and thousands of families live in it and it is very spacious. The environment of the villa is very beautiful, and the grass is green in front of and behind the house, and the flowers are blooming. At the beginning of the morning, the swallow magpie chirps, the warbler flies and the swallow dances, the bees buzz, and the colorful butterflies flutter. The bamboo forest is secluded all around, the beautiful forests in all directions are encircled, and the peaks are towering in the distance. The mountains are green, the water is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant everywhere.

The eastern part of the lodge is low-lying and dotted with many lakes and rivers. There is a large river around the mountain bay, the momentum is very magnificent, the sound of the roaring river can be heard a few miles away, this river is named after an ancient cypress tree on the bank. This ancient cypress has been rumored to have existed since the time of the famine, and it is higher than the peak and thicker than a hundred zhang. The ancient cypress is called the Tiantian cypress, and this river is called the Tiantian River.

The south side of the villa is mainly planted with mulberry, such as rice, corn and so on. What exactly to plant depends on the topography.

There are many forests in the north of the mountain, and the mountain is also the most precipitous, full of valleys and ravines, all kinds of large and small caves like monsters hideous and huge mouths, the depth is unfathomable. Birds of prey and beasts in the mountains, snakes and pythons are flying, and ordinary people are terrified when they hear it. Listening to the rumors of the ancestors of Orion in the village, there are treasures in this northern mountain, such as thousand-year-old ginseng, 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and snow lotus on the ice cliff. It's just that these treasures are all in the deepest places in the mountains, where they are mysterious and unpredictable, full of poisonous gas barriers, ghosts and strange spirits, bloodthirsty monsters, no one has ever been there, and no one dares to go. As for the usual medicinal herbs and wild things, they can be found everywhere, but of course these things are born in the outer areas of the deep mountains. Based on the above characteristics, Beishan has naturally become a place for hunting, and it is also a good place for young people to explore and explore.

To the west of the villa, it is a large park of the bluestone villa. There are orchards, vegetable gardens, and especially fragrant gardens. In the middle of these orchards, vegetable gardens, and gardens is a peach blossom forest, and inside the forest is a huge ancient tomb. This ancient tomb is very simple and dignified, majestic and solemn. The architectural style is unique, the octagonal shape of the mausoleum, the diameter is about 100 zhang, the height is about 30 zhang, the top is hemispherical, there is a giant turtle in each of the eight directions above the hemisphere, eight giant turtles raise their heads and open their mouths to each other, and sixteen exaggerated turtle eyes stare at a jasper ball. The octagonal direction of the mausoleum is each extended to the eight stone steps in all directions, because the mausoleum is slightly higher, and the stone steps are built on the situation, so the stone steps are slowly ascending. At this end of the mausoleum, there is an octagonal platform, which is the base of the mausoleum, the platform and eight stone steps, each of which has a column guardrail. Away from the other end of the mausoleum, each stone step faces a huge tombstone. Directly south of the entire mausoleum stands an even more monumental tombstone. The entire mausoleum, except for the nine tombstones and the jasper balls on them, is made of bluestone. Every moonlit night, the entire ancient tomb is reflected in the crescent moon lake to the east of it, which is even more solemn.

There are two oddities in this tomb. One is that there are nine steles in a mausoleum, and it is a huge exaggeration, the tombstones on the eight directions of the mausoleum are as high as the mausoleum, and the one directly south of the mausoleum is higher. The nine tombstones are all made of jade, each tombstone is different in color, the largest is red, and the others are gold, green, yellow, black, blue, pink, white, and purple according to the southeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest directions. The second is the peach blossom forest around the mausoleum, nature has four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but this peach blossom forest does not, here is always spring, always the moment when the peach blossoms bloom. The peach blossoms bloomed, fell, bloomed again, fell again, and never bore fruit. This is always a world of colorful flowers and flowers. This ancient tomb is called the Jade Tomb, and this peach blossom forest is called the Immortal Forest.

Everywhere verdant, full of flowers, cyan tombs, spring-filled peach blossom forests, shining glorious tombstones, such a scene, even the colorful butterflies are attached to the place, who cares that this is the world of the dead, on the contrary, this is the favorite place of the mountain villa people.

Old man, come here early in the morning, hang out, dance swords, play chess.

Young people, come here in the evening to talk about love.

The children run here when they have nothing to do, hide and seek, catch butterflies, play in the water, and weave garlands・・・・・・

No one knows who this mausoleum is, and it seems that it was already there when anyone in the lodge was born. There are nine tombstones, yes, it's true, but so what! None of the nine tombstones have words on them, they are wordless. Strange, it's so good, it's amazing, it's amazing. The shining colors of the tombstone seem to be circulating, as if calling.

In the middle of the villa is a large open-air market, there are three buildings on the north side of the market, and the west side is a two-story building, which is a temporary hotel for people outside the village, called Tianya Xiaozhu. To the east is an elegantly built three-storey pavilion with extraordinary magnificence and magnificence. This is the meeting pavilion of the village, and it is also the location of the flower hall, and the middle is a five-story pavilion, which is the most magnificent, and it is the family hall of the five surnames Xianhou.

There are generally several types of people in Bluestone Villa, farmers, hunters, businessmen, scribes, and charlatans. The first three are the main body. There were also a handful of nobles.

For thousands of years, Bluestone Mountain Resort has been carrying a tradition, that is, picking flowers, planting flowers, and raising flowers. Dedicate the best flowers to the Emerald Mausoleum.

The Emerald Mausoleum is the god of the Bluestone Villa, and it is the god they have worshiped for generations. Why the mausoleum is regarded as a god, no one knows, and no one seems to ask, because there is nothing wrong with paying homage to the dead. On weekdays, the first thing people in the villa do every day is to select the most beautiful flowers in their homes or gardens, bunch them, and then respectfully place them in front of the tombstone of the Emerald Mausoleum. Take it when the sun goes down and never delay.

Offering flowers to the Jade Mausoleum has become a habit and even a hobby for the people of the mountain villa. For this reason, there is also a flower festival every year, called the flower festival. For three days, the top three winners will be given the titles of Flower Fairy, Flower God, and Kao, and written into the family history. The time is set for the first three days of April every year.

All people in the villa can participate, regardless of dignity and inferiority, the exhibits are appreciated by the five authoritative elders of Jinghuatang, and then gather the opinions of the village to finally decide the winner. Villagers can cultivate their own exotic flowers and plants at any time of the year, and they can register at Jinghuatang in March, and then they can prepare for the competition. If you can get the top ten at the flower festival, your face will be exposed, and no one in the villa will look at three points. If you take the top three, it will be even more impressive, it is a major event of glory to the ancestors, and this honor is irresistible to anyone. Even if he didn't get any ranking, he was praised by several elders of Jinghua Hall for a few words, and he was infinitely honored, and he cast many envious eyes.

The parents of the children in front of them are experts in raising flowers, and they have been praised by several elders of Jinghua Hall at the Jinghua Festival over the years. Cheng Yuanfang and the little girl named Shifeng are family, her father is called Cheng Hua, and her mother is Qin Ning. And Liu Zhilang is the son of Cheng Huayi's brother,

Liu Lianlang's father is called Liu Hedong, and his mother is called Feng Yue'er. Liu Hedong is good at planting flowers, Fengyue is good at arranging flowers, each has a unique, and cooperates tacitly.

Cheng Hua and Liu Hedong are brothers who have been friends for eight years, Cheng Hua is a younger brother, and Liu Hedong is an older brother. The two have been through hardships together, and they are like brothers and sisters, and they cherish each other.

The two families have a good relationship and live close to each other, only a few dozen meters apart, and you can see each other's doors when you open the door. It's very easy to get around. Especially the children, they are even happier. Especially the naughty girl's poetic style, one will run to Liuhedong's house, and then run back, back and forth, I don't know how many times a day. At night, she has the final say, and the two families can live wherever they want.

No, early in the morning, the little girl ran over and shouted.

"Big Daddy, Auntie, open the door quickly, I'm here to find Sister Juan and Brother Yinglang to play!"

Feng Yue'er, who was busy making breakfast, listened to it, and quickly sorted out the work at hand. "Hey! here it is!" Feng Yue'er responded quickly and walked quickly towards the little girl outside the fence.

When I opened the door, I couldn't help but be happy, and the little girl in front of me had two eyes that seemed to be able to speak on her immature little face, and she was holding a tiger striped cat in her arms that she didn't know where to go, her hair was messy, and there were a few petals of grass blades stuck to her body. "My darling, early in the morning, where did you go, look! Laughing, Feng Yue'er picked up the little girl and kissed her on the face.

"Hee-hee, it's early, big lady, I've caught the kitten, look, how cute it is!" said the little girl, stroking the kitten in her arms, tilting her head. "No, it's cute, hehe. Feng Yue'er nodded and smiled.

Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Liu Juanliu and the brothers walked out one after another, happily taking the little girl to the side to make trouble, one for the little girl to freshen up, and the other teasing. Feng Yue'er continued to be busy in the house, and the cheerful laughter of children could be heard in her ears from time to time.

The sun was blushing, the sun was shining on the earth, and everything was alive again.

At this time, Liu Hedong, who had gone out to practice early in the morning, came back, and he did not immediately enter the courtyard, but walked slowly around the fence in front of and behind the house for a while. The golden sunlight shone on the trumpet flowers that bloomed on the fence, shining in strange colors. The flowers and leaves are filled with dewdrops, and the cool morning breeze blows the small flowers. The wind is moving, the dew is shining, Liu Hedong's heart is intoxicated, and he leans over to smell the faint fragrance of flowers from time to time. After a long time, Liu Hedong walked through the corridor full of flowers, and then pushed the door into the courtyard.

"Hehe, who is making a fuss, is it a naughty ghost?" Before Liu Hedong's voice fell, a little girl ran over, dragging the corners of his clothes and sprinkling coquettishly.

Liu Hedong squatted down and held the little girl's face and looked at it for a while and said: "Smart, beautiful, not bad, this child will not be idle when he grows up!"

"You feel this way too?" Feng Yue'er, who was busy with breakfast, walked out of the door and answered.

"Yes, I have been paying attention to this child for a long time, and my vision will not be wrong, and you say the same today, and I am even more convinced. It's just ・・・・・・" looked at the little girl Liu Hedong and stopped talking.

"It's just that this kid will probably experience a lot of unusual things in the future, and it's a blessing or a curse, right?"

Liu Hedong looked at Feng Yue'er and no longer spoke, but turned to look at the sky in the east, the red sun was shining between the towering peaks of Longyun Mountain, and the sun seemed to be surrounded by a line of black clouds, which was extremely strange and very noticeable.
