Nine Heavens

Qingshi Villa is located in a relatively gentle mountain depression at the foot of Longyun Mountain.

The area of ​​this mountain depression is quite large, and it is very spacious for thousands of families to live in.

The environment of the villa is very beautiful, and the front and back of every house are full of luxuriant grass, and a hundred flowers are blooming.

At the beginning of the morning, there are swallows and magpies chirping, warblers flying and swallows dancing, bees buzzing, and colorful butterflies dancing.

The villa is surrounded by secluded bamboo forests, surrounded by beautiful forests in all directions, and there are towering peaks in the distance.

The mountains are green, the water is beautiful, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

The terrain to the east of the villa is lower, and there are many lakes and rivers dotted around.

Looking from a distance under the sun, it is always sparkling, and the appearance of golden flowers dancing adds a lot of aura to Qingshi Villa.

Among them, there is a big river around the mountain bay. This big river is very magnificent.

The roar of this big river can be heard several miles away.

This river is called Qingtian River, named after an ancient cypress on the bank.

The ancient cypresses on its bank were rumored to have existed in the prehistoric times, and they were taller than the strange peaks and thicker than ten feet.

The ancient cypress is called Qingtian cypress, so the river is called Qingtian River.

The south of the villa is mainly planted with mulberry, such as rice, corn and so on.

What to plant depends on the terrain.

There are many forests in the north of the mountain, and the mountain is the most precipitous, full of valleys, ravines, and cliffs.

In the depths of the forest, various caves, large and small, can be seen everywhere, like monsters with huge mouths, and the depth is unpredictable.

It is said that there are many raptors, beasts, snakes and pythons in the mountains, which is frightening to hear.

According to rumors from the Orion ancestors in the village, there are treasures everywhere in this northern mountain, such as thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus on the ice cliff...all of them.

It's just that these treasures are all in the very deep place of the mountain, where the mystery is unpredictable, full of poisonous gas and fog, ghosts and strange spirits, no ordinary person dares to touch it.

Based on the above characteristics, Beishan has naturally become a hunting place, and it is also a good place for young people to explore and explore.

To the west of the villa is the big park of Qingshi Villa.

There are orchards and vegetable gardens everywhere, especially the fragrant gardens.

Among 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 mausoleum is octagonal in shape, with a diameter of about 100 feet and a height of about 30 feet.

The top is hemispherical, and there is a giant tortoise in each of the eight positions above the hemisphere.

The eight giant tortoises all raised their heads and opened their mouths facing each other. Sixteen exaggerated tortoise eyes stared at a jasper ball in the center of them at the same time.

In the octagonal direction of the mausoleum, there are eight stone steps extending in all directions. Because the terrain of the mausoleum is slightly higher, and the stone steps are built according to the situation, the stone steps go up slowly.

At the end of the mausoleum is a circle of octagonal platforms, which can be regarded as the base of the mausoleum.

There are eight stone steps on the platform, and there are column guardrails on both sides of each stone step.

At the other end away from the mausoleum, each stone step faces a huge tombstone.

In the south direction of the entire mausoleum, there is another even bigger tombstone.

Except for the nine tombstones and the jasper balls on them, the entire mausoleum is made of bluestone.

Every moonlit night, the entire ancient tomb is reflected in the Crescent Lake to the east of it, making it more solemn and dark.

There are two oddities in this ancient tomb:

One is that there are nine steles erected in a mausoleum, and each of them is exaggeratedly huge.

The tombstones in the eight directions of the mausoleum are all the same height as the mausoleum, and the one directly south of the mausoleum is taller.

The nine tombstones are all made of emerald jade, and each tombstone has a different color, the largest one being red.

The fronts of other tombstones correspond to southeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. The colors are gold, green, yellow, black, blue, pink, white and purple.

The second strange thing 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. It is always spring here, and it is always the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Peach blossoms bloom, fall, bloom again, fall again, but never bear fruit.

Here is always a world of colorful falling flowers and fragrant flowers.

This ancient tomb is called Emerald Tomb, and this peach blossom forest is called Changsheng Forest.

Everywhere is emerald green, fragrant with flowers, blue ancient tombs, peach blossom forests full of spring, and beautiful and brilliant tombstones.

The ancient tomb is where the dead are buried, and the garden flowers and plants are the world of the living, yet they exist together harmoniously.

Such a scene, a place where even colorful butterflies are attached to, who cares that this is the world of the dead.

On the contrary, this is the favorite place of the people in the villa.

Old people, come here early in the morning, chatting, dancing swords, and playing chess.

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

The children ran here when they had nothing to do, playing hide-and-seek, catching butterflies, playing in water, weaving garlands...

No one knows who this ancient tomb belongs to. It seems that it was there when anyone in the villa was born.

There are nine gravestones, yes, it's real, but so what!

None of the nine tombstones are engraved with words, and they are without words.

Weird, really weird, strange, amazing.

The tombstone shone with nine rich colors, seeming to be circulating and calling, but no one understood what the beautiful colors of the tombstone were calling for.

There is a large open-air market in the middle of the villa, and there are three buildings on the north side of the market:

The one on the west is a two-story building, which is a hotel for people outside the village to stay temporarily, called Tianya Xiaozhu.

To the east is a well-built three-storey pavilion, magnificent and luxurious.

This is the Yishi Pavilion of this village, and it is also the place of Jinghuatang. The five-story pavilion in the middle is the most magnificent, and it is the clan hall of Xianhou of the five surnames.

There are generally several types of people in Qingshi Villa, farmers, hunters, businessmen, scribes, and quacks.

The first three are the main body, and there are very few noble families.

For tens of thousands of years, there has been a tradition in Qingshi Villa:

That is to plant flowers, grow flowers, pick flowers, and present flowers. The people of Qingshi Villa dedicate the best flowers to the Jade Mausoleum.

The Emerald Mausoleum is the god of Qingshi Villa, and they have worshiped it for generations.

No one knows why the mausoleum is regarded as a god, and no one seems to ask, because there is nothing wrong with offering sacrifices to the dead.

On weekdays, the first thing people in the villa do every day is to choose the most beautiful flowers in their homes or gardens.

After the bunches were finished, they respectfully placed the flowers they had carefully selected in front of the emerald tombstone in order of seniority.

Take it when the sun goes down and give it the next day, never delaying.

Presenting flowers for the Emerald Mausoleum is already a habit, even a hobby of the people of the villa.

For this reason, there is another flower competition every year, called the Flower Competition Festival.

The Flower Competition lasts for three days, and the top three winners will be given the titles of Flower Fairy, Flower God, and Flower King, and will be recorded in the ethnography.

The time is set on the first three days of April in Yangchun every year.

All people in the villa can participate, regardless of seniority or inferiority.

The exhibits are appraised by the five authoritative elders of Jinghua Hall, and then the opinions of the audience are gathered to decide the winner.

Zhuangmin can cultivate his own exotic flowers and plants at any time of the year. In March of Yangchun, he can register at Jinghuatang, and then he can prepare for the competition.

If he can get the top ten in the Jinghua Festival, he will show his face, and everyone in the villa will look at him with respect.

If you win the top three, it will be even more impressive, it is a great event for the glory of the ancestors, and no one can resist this honor.

Even if they didn't get any rankings, those who received a few words of appreciation from the elders of Jinghuatang would be infinitely honored, and they would cast countless envious looks.

The parents of the children in front are experts in growing flowers, and they have been well received by the elders of Jinghuatang in the Jinghua Festival over the years.

Cheng Yuanfang and the little girl named Shifeng are in the same family. His father is Cheng Hua and his mother is Qin Ning. And Liu Qianlang is the son of Cheng Hua's sworn brother Liu Dong.

Liu Qianlang's father's name is Liuhe East, and his mother's name is Fengyue'er.

Liuhe Dong is good at planting flowers, Fengyue'er is good at arranging flowers, each has its own uniqueness, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.

Cheng Hua and Liu He Dong are brothers at the turn of eight obeisances. Cheng Hua is the younger brother, and Liu He Dong is the elder brother.

The two have shared adversity, love each other as brothers and sisters, and cherish each other.

The two families have a good relationship and live close to each other. The distance is only a few tens of meters. You can see each other's house when you open the door. It is very convenient to communicate.

Especially the children, they are even more happy, especially that naughty girl, Shi Feng, who ran to Liuhe River's house for a while, and then ran back for a while, going back and forth, I don't know how many times a day she has to go back and forth.

In the evening, she has the final say, two families, they can live wherever they want.

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

"Daddy, big lady, open the door quickly, I'm here to play with Sister Juan and Brother Qianlang!"

After hearing this, Feng Yue'er, who was busy making breakfast, quickly tidied up the work at hand, and ran out to greet her with a smile.

"Hey! Here we come!"

Fengyue'er responded, while quickly running to the little girl outside the fence.

When I opened the door, I couldn't help but feel happy.

Right now, on this little girl's immature face, there are two big eyes that seem to be able to talk, and they are barking and blue.

The little girl was holding a tiger-striped cat that she got from nowhere.

Her hair was disheveled, and there were still a few blades of grass and petals stuck to her body.

"My baby, where did you go shopping this early in the morning, look! Get all dressed up, cluck..."

Talking and laughing, Feng Yue'er picked up the little girl and kissed her face again and again.

"Hee hee, good morning ma'am! I caught a kitten, look, how cute it is!"

The little girl said while stroking the kitten in her arms and tilting her head.

"No, it's so cute."

Feng Yueer nodded and smiled.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Liu Juan and Liu Qianlang came out one after another, and happily took the little girl to the side to make a scene.

One groomed the little girl and the other teased her.

Feng Yue'er continued to be busy in the house, and the children's cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

The sun has shown its blushing face, and the sun is rushing to the earth, and everything is alive again.

At this time, Liuhe Dong, who had gone out to practice kung fu early in the morning, came back.

He didn't go into the yard immediately, but walked slowly around the fence in front of and behind the house for a while.

The golden sun shines on the trumpet flowers of various colors blooming on the fence, shining strange colors.

There are crystal dewdrops resting on the flowers and leaves, and the cool morning breeze blows the little flowers.

The wind is moving, the dew is shining, Liuhe Dong's heart is intoxicated, and from time to time he leans over to smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

After a long time, Little Xi from the east of Liuhe walked cautiously through the corridor full of flowers, then opened the door and walked into the yard.

"Hehe, who is making the noise? Is it the naughty ghost?"

Before Liuhe's voice fell, a little girl had already run over.

Pulling the hem of his clothes to act coquettishly, mouthing a big daddy, that's called sweetness.

Liu He knelt down and held the little girl's face for a while, then said:

"Smart, beautiful, good-looking, with deep eyes, this child will definitely not be an idle person when he grows up!"

"You feel the same way?"

After finishing her breakfast, Feng Yue'er walked out of the room and continued.

"Yes, I have been paying attention to this child for a long time, and my vision is not wrong. Today you said the same thing, I am even more convinced.

only······"

Looking at the little girl, Liuhe East hesitated to speak.

"It's just that this child may experience many, many unusual things in the future. It's hard to tell whether it's a blessing or a curse, right?"

Liuhe East stared at Fengyue'er, stopped talking, but looked up at the distant sky.

The majestic Longyun Mountain has endless strange peaks, during which the red sun is shining, and there seems to be a line of black clouds around the edge of the sun, which is very strange and difficult to detect.
