Chapter 288 Mountaintop Altar

Chu Yanran looked at the top of the mountain and said with a wry smile, "Since we have come here, at least we will slowly climb up."

The road is by the stream, going all the way up the stream, which is really narrower than the previous road. The stream is like flying stones splashing jade. Chu Yanran faintly felt a little watery. The two went straight to the time of eating and clearly see the altar in the clouds.

There were also several pavilions and platforms along the way, but I didn't see the sisters in the teacher's family come here to play. Chu Yanran suddenly felt that in the empty mountain, only Sister Qiao and herself were a little scared: "Sister Qiao, why is there no one coming up here? There will be no wild animals."

Sister Qiao said, "Where can there be? It's so cold that birds don't inhabit here. How can beasts climb up?"

The two finally walked to the altar. Chu Yanran took a few breaths. Looking carefully, it was a large open platform. On the top of the mountains, the four fields were open and boundless. Looking along the way, the whole Hundred Flowers Palace came into view. Going down, the jade-like Erhai Lake is like a mirror at this moment, embedded under the mountains and in the plain. .

Sister Qiao said, "What do you think of this place? Even we don't usually come up."

Chu Yanran walked on the altar and said with a smile, "It's really good here, but it's cold."

Sister Qiao smiled and said, "You don't know yet. In winter, when the mountain wind blows, it's cold."

Chu Yanran said, "I think this is just an open platform on the top of the mountain. How can it be called the altar?"

Sister Qiao said, "Because the palace owner often comes here to set up an altar to worship heaven and earth, and often leads his disciples to open an altar to preach in good weather."

Chu Yanran nodded and looked at the sky. The top of the mountain was full of wind and clouds and clouds rolled. Chu Yanran said, "Sister Qiao, look, there are clouds and fog here, and the top of the mountain is even more stormy, turbulent with each other."

Sister Qiao looked up with a sad face and said, "The rain on this mountain is coming. It can't be prevented. It's still sunny at this moment. It may rain in a while."

Chu Yanran said confusedly, "Will it rain when it's sunny?"

Sister Qiao said, "If the clouds turn deep, it will inevitably rain. Look at the heavy movement of the clouds, and the rain will come immediately. Hey, I think it will rain this evening. We have to go down the mountain early."

Chu Yanran smiled and said, "Sister Qiao said that she can watch feng shui, and she has even grasped the rainy hour."

Sister Qiao said, "This is not a call for wind and rain, but it's just a lot."

Chu Yanran suddenly said, "Sister Qiao, what do you think is behind this mountain?"

Sister Qiao said, "The back of the mountain is much steeper than in front of the mountain. Although the mountain is north-south, there is the Erhai Sea in the east, and the west wind is strong in the west. In addition, the mountain is steep, there are not many trees, and some places are still cliffs."

Chu Yanran said, "What if the foreign enemy attacks from behind the mountain? For example, my sister said that the three religion of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains, the magic religion in the far north, and the nameless village in Lingnan. If they also like the mountains and rivers of the Hundred Flowers Palace in southern Xinjiang, will they attack us?

Sister Qiao said: "There are three religious disputes in the Central Plains. We are in the remote southern Xinjiang of Baihua Palace. Usually, they will not come to harass us, and the demons in the far north will not be able to do it, because our palace lords and the demons are cold and unintentional. However, it is inevitable that there are some young people in the world who bully us as female disciples in Baihua Palace. They boldly go up the mountain, which is just looking for their own way to die.

Chu Yanran said strangely, "Oh? Is it?"

Sister Qiao smiled and said, "With this wall as a natural barrier, the miasma is strong at the foot of the mountain. The palace owner is still laying a net here. The news is ambushed, and there is even the poisonous hidden weapon of Miaojiang. Even if he has great ability, he can't attack it from behind. And the locals have long regarded the Baihua Palace as a holy place. The palace owner has already ordered the locals who collect medicine on the mountain not to approach the Baihua Palace to avoid accidental injury.

Chu Yanran said, "So it seems that if we don't take the road and go out of the mountains outside the Baihua Palace, we will also have life-threatening."

Sister Qiao said, "That's natural. No one can step out of the palace."

At this moment, the clouds and fog suddenly turned over and gradually thickened, and the sunlight in the west shone over and looked very beautiful. Sister Qiao said, "It's not good! It's going to rain. Let's get off the altar quickly.

Chu Yanran obviously hasn't seen enough. She was just seeing the beauty. She reluctantly went down from the altar. Sure enough, she didn't walk half a miles, and the rain dripped down. After a while, the rain gradually became heavier.

The two had no choice but to hide in the roadside pavilion. Chu Yanran said, "If we were still at the altar, would we be struck by lightning?"

Sister Qiao said, "No, it rarely thunders here. Even if there is lightning and thunder, it will not split here, because there are many trees on the mountain around the altar, and the altar is empty, and thunder can only split trees."

Chu Yanran gradually had a certain understanding of the mysterious Hundred Flowers Palace. It turned out that there was nothing mysterious, but before the people outside came in, they felt that everywhere was forbidden, and the sense of mystery increased.

Sister Qiao no longer spoke to the mountain scenery. The raindrops splashed on the eaves, sprinkled them into several petals and fell down, gently hitting Chu Yanran's face. Chu Yanran suddenly felt something missing, and suddenly sighed in her heart: I finally found such a good home, but Mr. Mingyue is far away in the depths of the white clouds? Or near the foot of the mountain? She doesn't know, and she can't know.

The two women waited until the rain stopped before returning to Qinxiang Garden. They had nothing to do. Chu Yanran Nangong Yan always liked to consult Sister Qiao's martial arts spells, especially interested in the spells of Baihua Palace, because they were unheard of before.

The years in the mountains are easy to live. Chu Yanran has been wandering in the Hundred Flowers Palace for a few days and is used to living a leisurely life. In addition to sometimes thinking of Mr. Mingyue and looking at the ancient town of Tiannan Dali on the Erhai Sea like a jade belt under the mountain, she is usually just enjoying flowers in the palace and playing with her sisters.

The day was still hazy. Chu Yanran stretched out and sat up suddenly, because she discussed with Sister Zhang Feiyu last night and went down the mountain with her early this morning.

Chu Yanran got up in her clothes and looked at Sister Qiao's long eyelashes and beautiful face, which reminded Chu Yanran of the scene of Sister Qiao holding her face with both hands on the first day, so she scraped Qiao's face with her fingers and said, "Sister Qiao! Get up!"

Zhang Hanqiao responded vaguely and turned over. She was still sleeping. Chu Yan was helpless and had to push Sister Qiao's shoulder back and forth: "Sister, get up. They are coming soon. They agreed to ask us to go down the mountain early in the morning."

Zhang Hanqiao sighed: "Oh! This dead girl, usually so in love with the bed, can't stand three poles in the sun. Could it be that the sun came out this morning?

Chu Yanran smiled and said, "I only know that the sun hasn't come out yet. Well, Sister Qiao, don't say I got up early. I'm afraid there were still people who couldn't sleep last night."

"Oh? Who?"

Chu Yanran smiled again: "Of course it's Huangfu Yuzhu! I'm afraid she just wants to go down the mountain every night.

Sister Qiao also smiled and said, "I see you, thinking about it is not inferior to her!"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door and knocked on the door, "Huh? Why are you joking in the early morning? Sister Qiao, Sister Yanran, have you got up yet?

Chu Yanran squeezed her lips and smiled: "Look! It's Feiyu who is here. Why don't you get up quickly?

Sister Qiao hurriedly answered, "Oh! Is it Sister Feiyu? It's getting up!"

Outside the house, Zhang Feiyu said, "Okay! Let's wait."

The two hurriedly put on their clothes, and the quilts could not be folded, and the makeup was not combed. Sister Qiao casually took her hair and came out to open the door. Seeing that it was indeed Sister Feiyu and Yuzhu, she quickly let them enter the room.
