Chapter 542: Mountain Meadow

Yue Guanchao carefully observed, this deep mountain meadow is like a bowl mouth recessed into the top of the mountain, surrounded by rugged and rugged rocks, thus forming a railing, completely surrounding the meadow, like the mouth of a volcanic lake, which is extremely strange.

He looked around, and the stone walls in front and back of this meadow were wider than the river valley they had walked through, and they were distributed in irregular shapes, covering an area of at least a thousand acres of land.

Although it is a meadow, the surface of the earth is covered with many shallow streams, these streams flow between the meadows like capillaries, and flow into the middle of the "self" shaped river channel, many streams divide the hidden beach and wild islands, on which the wildflowers are vigorous, the grass is abundant, countless pollen cattails swaying and shaking, the wind is like waves.

Where there are many streams, the water vapor must be vigorous, and when you walk around, you can already see the water vapor like ethereal smoke, rippling bushes, and the fireflies that have just flown out are moving in the smoke, foraging for pollen.

From a distance, the meadow is surrounded by towering ancient trees, and the boundary between the mountain wall and the meadow is tightly covered like a fence, and you can only see the steep and steep bare mountain wall through the cascading ancient trees of high and low staggered.

Here, it seems to be a paradise independent of the Qinling Mountains!

Yue Guanchao wanted to continue to observe, but Xu Xiake poked his back, and the two of them looked back, and there were more ancient temples hidden in the fog in the extreme north, because they were too far away, they couldn't really see it.

"Brother Yue, why don't we go and see what the situation is inside?"

Yue Guanchao looked behind him, the palace was not splendid, nor was it a carved railing, it was much simpler than the underground palace they saw, and it looked very rough on the whole, even so, there were high verandahs and partial halls of the main hall, which was obviously a supporting ancient grand building.

"No, this kind of ghost place is too strange, since the cannon fodder of the old witch is here, let them run errands for us, we can't cheapen these soldiers and bandits for nothing."

After saying that, the two stood in front of the giant cave, put down two ropes inside, and shouted at the people in the sinkhole: "It's very strange outside, you hurry up." ”

After finishing speaking, the two climbing ropes were moving, and in less than half an hour, they had already climbed up to the hole. For safety, Zhang asked most of the sappers to surround the lake in the sinkhole, and only took the elite of the most advanced cave to the sinkhole.

When everyone stood on the meadow, they all showed surprised faces, and the abundant flowers and plants on the meadow obviously did not belong to this season.

"What kind of mountain nest is this, I haven't seen it, we won't go out of Qinling, right?"

Ren Peacock looked at the sky, it was already afternoon when they entered the cave, and it was reasonable to say that it was evening at this moment, but suddenly came out of the cave, and there was always an illusion of being in the environment, especially the green grass on the ground drowning in the dense fog, which gave people a sense of unreality.

"I think, this is still in Qinling, but we are in mid-air!"

Song Siyuan's words made everyone curious, she stretched out her hand and laid it flat in the air, and a snowflake visible to the naked eye fell on her hand and quickly turned into a droplet.

"Did you see that? Snow! ”

"What does that mean?"

Yue Guanchao is unknown.

Song Siyuan knew that they didn't know where this was, and explained word by word: "When we entered the cave, the air was cold but there were no snowflakes, but the current meadow was drifting snow, which means that the altitude we are at is very high, at least above the snow line, the temperature is cold to snow, and the temperature difference between the ground and the air is too large, so that the dew will turn into mist and cover the surface." ”

She picked up a telescope to observe the high mountain wall, and sure enough, she saw that the snowflakes were piled up in lines, lining the mountain wall like a pulsatilla, and the top of the mountain was snow-white.

"Give me the map!"

Song Siyuan hurriedly took the map handed over by Yue Guanchao, and pointed to the mountainous areas full of caves, on which there were obvious contour lines in the form of terraces, she pointed to the line and said: "This location is in the middle of the Bao Slope Road to the north, the altitude is more than 2,000 meters, only a little lower than Taibai Mountain, in addition, the other peaks are below a thousand meters, it is difficult to form a snow line on the top of the mountain, we are probably on the peak of this mountain." ”

"It's so high, why don't we feel it!"

Xu Xiake has climbed Taibai Mountain, and the peak of the flat ground is not a joke, and it takes a long time to rest once to catch his breath.

"When we came, the Wusheng Post was already on the mountainside, and in the past half a day, we would cross the cave and lie down in the dark river, and we would unconsciously come to climb to a high altitude."

She paused, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and continued to explain: "Only in this way can the danger of climbing the mountain be mitigated, these wild mountains have no way up the mountain at all, and it can be said that it is difficult to climb to the top of the mountain, if it is not for the shortcut in the mountain, we will not be so fast here, and it is precisely because this is a high altitude, the ancient people could not come easily, so as to serve as a place of refuge for the ancestors of the witch god, who can know, the top of the mountain here is actually a meadow." ”
