The most magnificent thing is the Chaoyuntai on the top of the goddess's peak!

This Chaoyuntai is located on the top meadow of the Goddess Peak, occupies a small area, about only half the size of the mountaintop, half temple and half palace, magnificent and simple, both the exquisite and agile architecture of Jingchu Jiangnan building, and the ancient atmosphere of the original building in the pre-Qin era.

At this time, the clouds cover the top of the mountain like a gauze tent, only the top of the mountain is completely exposed towards the cloud platform, and the eaves of the temple are soaked in ethereal mist, it looks as if it is located above the clouds, as if the nine-fold palace is suspended in the sky, and the ten-mile river below reflects the mountain peaks and the palace, which is even more indistinguishable from the false.

"Wonderful, wonderful, even through the dense fog by the river, to create the illusion of a palace suspended in the clouds, no wonder it is called Chaoyuntai, it is really a realm worthy of living by gods."

Sun Daqiao couldn't help but sigh when he saw such a grand scene.

Banshu said: "This can only be regarded as a daily landscape, if it is a flood season, our location is below the water surface, whenever the river floods up the mountainside, when it comes to Izumo, you can see Wanluo Qingshan Izumo Peak, Shennu Peak is just the highest point of all mountains, Wanfeng Chaoyun, that is, the origin of Chaoyuntai." ”

"Of course, at the beginning, this place was not called the Goddess Peak but the Yaogu Peak, it was King Chu Huai who dreamed of the Goddess here, and then renamed the Goddess Peak, this Chaoyun Platform was the earliest, and it was built by King Chu Huai."

The Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, immersed in witch sacrifices, liking extravagance, the palace built is extravagant and magnificent, mysterious and magnificent, in addition to the Zhu Palace built by the national capital, there are other palaces in various places, such as Qiangtai, Kujutai, Jiuzhongtai, Jingtai, Zhanghuatai, Yangyuntai, Lantai Palace.

Gu Chu likes to call the palace garden with "so-and-so" platform, these palaces are used to show the wealth of the royal family and the wealth of the world in addition to being used for traveling around the world.

Only this Chaoyuntai is the most special, it is an exception!

Back then, King Chu Huai was in the goddess peak and the goddess of Wushan for a few days, but he was still not satisfied, even if the goddess had left, he was still very missed.

If you want to see the goddess again, you must want to move the heavenly palace to the mortal world, which is worthy of the status of the goddess.

So, he recalled the scene in the dream, painted the goddess palace he saw, and at the same time, he also found the most skilled craftsman in Chu State, and said that as long as he could help him build the dream palace, he would reward the marquis with gold and eternal wealth.

The richer the reward, the higher the difficulty, these craftsmen also thought that they could be rich and noble, and immediately shook their heads and sighed when they saw the drawings, if the temple is strong, they must dig deep foundation pits and build high platforms, if not, how can the building be strong, but the king of Chu Huai asked to build the palace in mid-air.

There is no basis in the air, and even the foundation cannot be laid, how can you build a gorgeous palace, this is simply nonsense, King Chu Huai searched for craftsmen, and most people could not complete this idea, until they found the descendants of Lu Ban, they had some eyebrows.

According to the record of the "Luban Sutra", the descendants of Luban introduced the method of trapping the empty foundation with King Chu Huai, this method of building the temple is equivalent to digging a deep pit on the flat ground, and then building a foundation of more than ten meters in the deep pit, and when the foundation is completed, you can build a gorgeous palace on the foundation.

If the temple is also completed, water is diverted to irrigate it until the foundation is completely submerged under water, and only the palace is still above the water, and from a distance, the temple reflects the sky, as if it were suspended in the sky.

This practice, although it is not really suspended, in the end, it is to let King Chu Huai get his mind, after all, he can't wait any longer, so he ordered Lu Ban's descendants to find a suitable place to build according to his picture scroll.

Lu Ban's descendants searched and searched, and finally chose to be in the Goddess Peak!

First, this is the highest point of the nearby mountain peak, and you can overlook thousands of green snails from the peak.

Second, this place is close to the mouth of the river, is the confluence of the Ningjiang River and the river, every year in the high temperature and rainy climate, most of the time will be covered with clouds and mist, if the palace is built on the top of the mountain, wait for the clouds and mist to cover the past, visually closer to the cloud palace temple described by King Chu Huai.

Thirdly, this is also the place where King Chu Huai dreamed of meeting the goddess, and it was also convenient for him to renew the relationship with the goddess of Wushan.

When the palace was completed, King Chu Huai saw this palace, Qianluo Jingxiu, Wanfeng Chaoyun, and immediately felt that this was the scene in his dream, and he was happy, and rewarded Lu Ban's descendants greatly.

Since then, King Chu Huai will patrol the river every year and rest in Chaoyuntai for a few days, intending to continue the front edge under the prayer of the wizard's wife, but since then, the goddess of Wushan has never come again, this palace has an empty palace form, but no woman has lived in it.

Until the death of King Chu Huai, he failed to get his wish and see the goddess again.

Since then, this Chaoyuntai has remained in the Jiangkou and has become a symbol of the extravagance and lust of King Chu Huai, until the advent of the pre-Qin era, Chaoyuntai ushered in a new use.

The story of the goddess of Wushan has been very popular since the era of water control, and the land of Wushan County is the town under the goddess peak, under the influence of the witch sacrifice in the south, the belief in the goddess of Wushan has developed, and it is also at this time that a woman possessed by the goddess of Wushan appeared in the goddess peak.

This woman's name is Huanying, the surname is no longer available, the classics only record that Huanying grew up in the village under the Goddess Peak since she was a child, and made a living by collecting wild fruits in the mountains, and one night because of the wind and rain on the muddy mountain road and could not go down the mountain, so she had to temporarily perch on the Goddess Peak, in order to shelter from the wind and rain, she had to break into the Chaoyuntai that had long been abandoned.

When she was sheltering from the wind and rain towards Yuntai, she heard a voice in the temple at night, and after searching, she found that it was the statue of the goddess of Wushan in the temple crying.

Wan Ying was shocked, thinking that it was the mountain spirit and wild monster who was about to leave immediately, and it was not until she heard that she was the goddess of Wushan that she settled down.

This idol bluntly said that he was imprisoned here by King Chu Huai to build a spiritual platform, because he was afraid that King Chu Huai would not want to meet him, now hundreds of years have passed, and now, the water on all sides of the palace has not dispersed, and she can't get out of the water array of the palace as a mountain god, so she can't help crying.

Wei Ying believes in the goddess of Wushan, and once swallowed Yao grass, wanting to meet the goddess in a dream, but never got her wish, and now, when she really met the goddess manifestation, she was more happy than afraid.

Out of kindness, Wei Ying told the Wushan Priestess that she was willing to help the Divine Girl escape, and the Wushan Goddess finally became happy when she heard this, she told Wei Ying that as long as she swallowed the Yao Cao, she could see her, and then she told Wei Ying how to help her escape.

In the back basket of the herb collection of Huanying, there happened to be Yao Cao, so she simply swallowed it in her mouth, and when her brain became chaotic, she really saw the true body of the goddess appear on the statue.

The goddess of Wushan told her that this palace was a prison for her, and that if she wanted to escape, she would have to enter the body of a living person, and that she would be able to take her out of the palace with the body of a living person, and that if that was the case, she would have to share her body with that person.

In exchange, the goddess of Wushan can make this person beautiful and youthful, and she can also rely on divine power to communicate with ghosts and gods, ask gods to do things, and if you don't want to live like this anymore, you can reach a contract with the goddess, as long as you find a new body for her, you can return to normal and grow old naturally.

Wan Ying felt that these things had nothing to lose to her, so she agreed to the record of the goddess of Wushan and became the first goddess to fall.

After she went out from Chaoyuntai, she went home and had a fever for three days and three nights, and when she recovered, her whole temperament was completely different from her before, and her parents, relatives and friends felt that on the basis of retaining her original temperament, she seemed to have some completely unfamiliar tempers, as if there were two souls living in the body.

Even, she has a lot of abilities that she has never had before, such as divination, asking God about things, practicing medicine and medicine, psychic prayer, and the truth of the miracle, so that everyone has to believe that she is indeed not being abducted and deceived in the pit, and she is indeed really capable.

Wan Ying explained her changes to her relatives and friends, and bluntly said that she had the soul of the goddess of Wushan, and this matter spread around, and the people who believed in the goddess of Wushan began to come to her house frequently to knock and worship.

Lou Ying had no choice but to pack up Chaoyuntai and live in Chaoyuntai as the goddess of Wushan, doing things for the people around her and praying to God.

At that time, it was already the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin people deprecated Wu as a strange force and chaos, and the story of what goddess possessed was only regarded as a pit and abduction, and sent officers and soldiers to exterminate it.

There are so many believers in Weiying, they have formed a force, these foreign officers and soldiers do not dare to provoke the local clans, so they have to give up, even if they really want to move Chaoyuntai, they have to be delayed by all kinds of unfortunate things, and later, some people said that it was the goddess who appeared, and the Qin people no longer dared to point fingers at Chaoyuntai.

After this incident, the news of the manifestation of the goddess of Wushan became more real, so that the belief of the local goddess in Wushan was continued to be consolidated, and the Qin Dynasty was not eliminated, but according to the ability of the goddess, the ancient witchcraft such as Guan Luoyin was extended.

Banshu continued: "From the appearance of the first generation of Wushan goddesses in the Qin Dynasty, there are now close to fifteen generations of goddesses, and the lifespan of each goddess is maintained at eighty to two hundred years old, which is much higher than the lifespan of ordinary people. ”

When they spoke, the canopy boat had already docked, and everyone followed the mountain plank road, led the carriage and hurried up, the goddess peak was simply not high, and after turning several times, they had already bypassed the mountain road and approached the meadow on the top of the mountain!

Far away, they had already seen a huge lake of nearly twenty acres of land on the meadow, and the center of the lake was the Yunding Shrine they saw - Chaoyuntai!

This alpine meadow is hidden in the forest, and you can only see the palace from below, and you can see it when you are close to the meadow, what the lake that surrounds Chaoyuntai looks like!

At this moment, the quaint Chaoyuntai is located in the lake, close to a small number of corridors to connect the land, the lake reflects the sky, up and down a blue sky, such as suspended in the air is strange.
