A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

The third day of the Lunar New Year was the first day the scenic area reopened.

Everywhere was bustling with noise.

The maximum visitor capacity of the scenic area is limited to 25000 people, which is already a very small number. Given the current popularity, 10 tickets can be sold every day.

However, Qi Yue's view is that to ensure the comfort of tourists in the scenic area, 25,000 yuan is currently the most suitable price.

If there are 10 people, it will be so crowded everywhere that you won't be able to visit any tourist attractions.

That would make everyone uncomfortable.

Therefore, the scenic area has a very good reputation, and as long as you can get a ticket, the experience is excellent.

Zhang Meng and his group of five arrived at the scenic area, tried grass skiing, and then hurriedly lined up to ride the big dragon boat.

The unique treasure ship of Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

It boasts an exquisite and imposing design and a stable ride.

Even people who get seasick can ride it.

These two activities are among the must-do experiences at Qingfeng Mountain.
The rest is just visiting the sights and seeing everything.

Adorable animals, rare scenery.

As the group headed towards the large dragon boat, they entered the sect scenic area.

Their first impression was that the surrounding environment had changed.

The area around Qingfeng Mountain is open and mostly consists of lawns with relatively few trees.

The Zongmen Scenic Area, on the other hand, has more trees, making it appear more secluded.

It better suits the sect's temperament.

In addition, they inexplicably felt some pressure, as if they were being watched by something.

Just then, Zhu Huo exclaimed "Holy crap!", startling the group.

"Look there! Oh my god, there's a building over there!"

Zhu Huo pointed at a luxurious palace on the cliff, dumbfounded.
The other four all saw the building: the Sect Master's Mansion.

The patriarch's mansion was built on a cliff, a luxurious palace that protruded outwards.

The palace was surrounded by a stone fence.

However, there are no stairs leading up from either side or in front.

"Wow, what kind of building is that? I've never heard of it before!"

"So domineering!"

"Could it be that the performance at the Sect Master's Mansion at four o'clock this afternoon is being held here?"

"I was wondering what kind of building the Sect Master's Mansion was!"

"Look at the plaque in the palace, it really does say 'Clan Head's Mansion' in big characters!"

Several people saw the plaque of the sect leader's mansion.

The three large, golden characters reveal the profound heritage of the Qingyun Sect.

If we consider Qingyun Sect as a sect, then this place is definitely the core of the sect.

Stepping out of the palace, one can have a panoramic view of the entire sect.

Only a sect leader can have such a status.

"Is it a decorative building? That's amazing, it's even built halfway up a mountain!"

"Look inside the fence, there are people there!"

"I saw it too, lots of people were walking on it!"

"Where's the entrance? I can't see it!"

"Let's skip the dragon boat, we can queue up later. I want to go check out the sect leader's mansion!"

"go!"

The group made a decision.

First, go to the sect leader's mansion, then do other activities.

The scenic area has maps and notice boards.

In addition, there is an electronic map. As long as location is enabled, users can open the Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area mini-program to check their location, and the navigation will tell them how to get there.

To get to the clan leader's mansion, you need to go to the ancient village first, and then take the mountain path on the west side of the mountain.

The entrance to the sect leader's mansion is right next to the Cloud Viewing Platform.

Filled with curiosity, the five immediately headed towards the sect leader's residence.

Halfway there, we happened to run into the touring troupe.

All I could see were the NPCs in the group dressed in ancient Taoist robes, and eight or nine men and women wearing blue robes with the words "Qingyun" embroidered on their chests, clearly belonging to a Taoist sect.

Several others wore decorations resembling dragon horns, fox heads, and white-haired immortals, dressed as ordinary Taoist practitioners.

As the music played, they happily swayed back and forth in the group, creating a great atmosphere. Tourists stopped to watch for a while and felt happy and relaxed.

The five of them glanced around briefly and then hurried up the hillside.

The Qingyun Sect is very large, after all, it is a mountain.

Traveling is quite tiring.

But when you're out having fun, walking 20,000 steps a day is the minimum.

Everyone was mentally prepared.

Climb upwards all the way.

Since it was midday, there wasn't much fog.

Now that there are more people, the fog has lessened; the western peaks are still shrouded in mist only before nine o'clock every morning.

There was no more fog after that.

Looking down from the Cloud-Viewing Platform, you can still see some clouds and mist.

The five of them arrived at the Cloud Viewing Platform. The Cloud Viewing Platform was very large, with a platform surrounded by stone railings.

Visitors can look down along the stone railing.

They all found a spot and looked down. There was a sign standing nearby.

The sign reads: "The celestial deer occasionally appears in the due west direction, symbolizing good fortune."

They were slightly puzzled when they saw the sign.

"A celestial deer? Where did this celestial deer come from!"

"never heard of that!"

"I think I remember it."

As the five were talking, someone shouted:
"It's out! It's out! Look there! The fairy deer is out!"

"Really are!"

As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

Looks like I'm really lucky today.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a lucky event as soon as I arrived.

Some people who were on their way heard the commotion and all ran to the Cloud-Viewing Platform.

On a hilltop below the Cloud Viewing Platform, a pure white sika deer came into view.

Its body is strong and powerful, and its pair of imposing antlers exude an extraordinary aura.

If it were an ordinary white deer, it wouldn't have such a majestic presence.

But this is a male deer with beautiful antlers, giving it an ethereal, otherworldly appearance.

Deer are also considered to have a pure yang constitution, are not afraid of the cold, and are full of yang energy.

In ancient times, emperors would drink deer blood to enhance certain abilities.

That's the reason.

"Heavens! It's one of the immortal beasts of the Qingyun Sect. I've heard people say that the Qingyun Sect has several immortal beasts, one is a white immortal deer, and the other is a white spirit snake."

"They are all extremely rare to encounter."

“Fairy deer can still be seen occasionally, but white spirit snakes are extremely rare. Only a few people have managed to photograph them near the Taiji Hall.”

One tourist was clearly a fan of the scenic area and knew a great deal about its animals.

Some tourists from other places nearby were stunned when they heard this.

A celestial deer? A spirit snake?
Is this still domestic?

The outside world has become like this? The spiritual energy has revived?

Many people took out their phones and cameras and started filming the fairy deer.

Being in a classical religious scenic area and seeing a pure white male deer with an ethereal aura is truly magical.

This landscape was also carefully designed by the scenic area.

The reason why the sika deer appeared here is because Qi Yue planted wild herbaceous plants that the sika deer love to eat on that small hill.

For example, kudzu vine, fleeceflower root, and wild strawberries.

That way, the sika deer will come over.

More and more people gathered around the cloud-viewing platform.

Everyone was truly shocked.

After finishing its snacks, the fairy deer looked up at the crowd in the distance.

It calmly twitched its ears, turned around, and ran away.

Seeing this, people dispersed.

Go up a little further and you'll reach the entrance to the sect leader's mansion.

The entrance is an open-air stone staircase with railings on both sides.

Just follow the stone steps inwards.

There is a square in front of the entrance, and a queue is formed in the square, which is fenced off.

Tourists just need to line up according to the queue.

Judging from the speed at which everyone is moving forward, the team is moving quite fast.

"Go, have a look."

"I can't believe there are buildings like this."

Zhang Meng and his group of five arrived at the sect square and lined up.

They didn't know what was inside the stone steps.

But it felt quite magical.

If you come to Qingyun Sect, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if you didn't visit the Sect Master's Mansion?
Moreover, according to official sources, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect is Qi Yue.

In other words, this should be Qi Yue's residence.

Then everyone should definitely come and take a look.

"The scenic area has issued an announcement that the Sect Master will be attending the performance at the Sect Master's Mansion at 4 PM this afternoon."

"This sect leader must be Brother Qi!"

Zhu Huo glanced at the information on the mini-program and said excitedly.

"It's Brother Qi, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect."

“This place belongs to him, and no one else can be the sect leader.”

Zhang Meng responded.

"That's great, but the announcement says the viewing area is in an open area within the ancient village. As long as you can see the sect leader's mansion, it's fine."

"I don't know what they're up to."

"It's still early. Let's see what's inside the sect leader's mansion first, and then go down. There's plenty of time."

The group grew increasingly excited.

I'm really looking forward to the performances at the scenic area. (End of Chapter)
