Chapter 381 Draw a Circle

"The leaves of the green plants are plump, and the buds have already opened on the top, as if they are about to release flowers at any time. People say that this bouquet of flowers is the embodiment of auspiciousness. When it blooms, blessings will befall the earth."

"And if you can come and pay your respects, you will definitely be blessed with good fortune and everything will go smoothly. That's why many people have come to Cuiwei Mountain in the past two days."

"However, although there is a different world inside this narrow strip of sky in Cuiwei Mountain, the outside is extremely narrow. The mountains above are almost merged together, leaving only a gap through which a little light can be seen. This is why it is called a narrow strip of sky. The entrance is even darker and narrower, and it is extremely difficult for men with slightly larger bodies to enter. It is said that people feel quite uncomfortable when they are inside, so many people do not go in, and just pay their respects outside."

Banqing described it vividly.

"I see." Zhuang Qingning nodded.

However, this so-called auspicious event was either someone's eyes were dazzled and, based on associations, said it was a good omen, or someone had ulterior motives and wanted to spread this auspicious event out and then do something else.

Zhuang Qingning saw it clearly, but seeing that everyone was quite interested in this auspicious flower, he did not say what was in his mind.

At this time, most people believe in ghosts and gods. Even if they don’t, they are not averse to such things that can bring good luck.

She talks a lot, which makes her seem like she has a lot to say.

Moreover, if it can make you feel very good and increase your confidence in doing anything, it would not be completely without benefit.

"Why don't we go and take a look at what the flowers grown by that auspicious sign look like," Chu Jinzhou suggested.

"Okay." Fan Wenxuan stroked his beard and nodded.

"Then let's go up a little further." Zhuang Qingning helped pack up some things, and the group continued to go up.

A Line of Sky, at the top of Cuiwei Mountain. Considering that they have only walked one-third of the way, there is still a long way to go.

In particular, the further you go up the mountain road becomes, the steeper it becomes. When you almost reach the top of the mountain, even the originally built stone steps gradually disappear, leaving only a narrow path trampled by pedestrians who often go up the mountain, with grass and trees growing on both sides.

When many people reach here, they no longer go any further, especially those who are a little older, who just bow here.

But there were also some people who continued to walk towards the narrow passage, including Zhuang Qingning and others.

After taking two breaks, Banqing came back from exploring the way ahead and said with a smile, "We'll be there in another cup of tea. I see there aren't many people here right now. If we go up, we can see if we can get inside the narrow gap and take a look."

When they heard that there weren't many people and there was still a chance to go in and take a look, Zhuang Qingsui and Chu Jinzhou, who had been complaining of being tired, now found strength again, and they chatted and laughed all the way, skipping and jumping as they walked forward.

With the bonus of strength and agility, Zhuang Qingning never felt tired. Seeing the two children recovering very quickly, he smiled and raised his feet to catch up.

But Fan Wenxuan couldn't bear it anymore.

He bent over, hunched his back, supported his knees, and gasped for breath.

"Sir, let me help you." Seeing that Fan Wenxuan did not catch up, Zhuang Qingsui and Chu Jinzhou turned back to help Fan Wenxuan, one on the left and one on the right, acting as human crutches.

Fan Wenxuan looked at the increasingly steep mountain and the increasingly difficult mountain road, and suddenly became like a frost-bitten eggplant. He waved his hands again and again, "You guys go ahead, let me, an old man, rest here for a while."

"Sir, why don't you go up and take a look at the auspicious flowers that have bloomed?" Chu Jinzhou asked, looking up.

"Don't go up. This is not a rare thing. It doesn't matter whether you see it or not. Just go up and take a look." Fan Wenxuan found a step for himself. Without saying anything, he just found a stone that looked quite smooth and sat down. "I'll wait for you here."

"Well then." Chu Jinzhou responded obediently, "Since you are physically exhausted, then I will trouble you to wait here for a long time. I will also go up and pay my respects to you on your behalf."

"Yeah." Fan Wenxuan nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and watched the few people continue to walk up.

After those people walked away, the smile on Fan Wenxuan's face suddenly disappeared.

This Chu Jinzhou was filial and respectful to his teacher, and even remembered to help him pay his respects, but...

What does this mean by "lack of strength"? It's a joke that he is old and has weak arms and legs and can't even climb a mountain.

Although this is true, it is not good to bring it up. Doesn't he have any shame? Back then, he was also wearing Xie Gong's clogs, climbing mountains as if walking on flat ground, a dashing young man, but he couldn't stand the passing of time...

Humph! Fan Wenxuan picked up a thin, long, dry branch and drew several circles on the ground.

Zhuang Qingning accompanied Zhuang Qingsui and Chu Jinzhou to this narrow strip of sky.

This line of sky was just as Banqing said, like a crack split in the mountain, very narrow. Although the entrance was not long, it was very narrow.

A woman or a child can pass sideways, but it is not easy for an adult man who is taller than him.

Three or four people knelt down and worshipped at the entrance, then stayed for a while before leaving.

Among them was a Taoist priest holding a whisk.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It seems that these auspicious flowers have attracted quite a lot of people.

Zhuang Qingning felt emotional.

After those people left, Zhuang Qingning and the other two arrived at the entrance.

Zhuang Qingsui and Chu Jinzhou stood at the entrance, looking around for a long time.

"How is it? Can you see it?" Zhuang Qingning asked.

"I can't see it." Zhuang Qingsui shook his head. "I can only see that it seems to be quite large inside, like a cave, but I can't see any flowers."

"Yeah, I can't see any flowers." Chu Jinzhou also echoed.

"Of course you can't see it from here." A strong man wearing patched clothes, straw sandals, and carrying a shoulder pole put down the two water jugs on his shoulders, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and laughed, "You can only see it when you go in. It's at the very back."

"Have you ever gone in to take a look?" Chu Jinzhou suddenly became interested. "What does the flower look like?"

"I went in there yesterday when I came up to fetch spring water. That flower...how should I put it..." The strong man scratched his ear, "I can't really describe it, but it's quite pretty. They say it's a flower that blooms for good fortune. I didn't dare to look at it for too long, for fear that it would shorten my life."

"But this flower is really auspicious. I went in to take a look yesterday. My mother, who had been ill for more than half a year, said last night that she suddenly felt better and could even get up and walk a few steps."

"That's why I came here again today, thinking of fulfilling a vow."

"Is it really so effective?" Chu Jinzhou widened his eyes and looked at Zhuang Qingsui in surprise.

"I don't dare to believe it, but my mother at home is in better health." The strong man laughed.
