Chapter 136:tDragon FallingtMountains
When goingtdownhill, LutHeng thoughttthat thetopportunity totopen thetdoor oftheaven wastto finishtthe karmatbetween thetoriginal wolftdemon andtthe WutClan.
However, aftertarriving attFushan Citytand seeingtmany cultivationtsecrets, hetrealized thatthis chancetto opentthe doortof heaventwas nottkarma, buttthe "Road".
IftLu Hengtcan't findta waytof histown, hetcan't opentthe doortof heavent.
After understandingtthis, LutHeng calmedtdown, notlonger anxious.tHis thoughtstand mindsettchanging.
This southboundttrip istbased ontthe mentalitytof cruisingtand leisure,tas welltas cultivatingthis thundertcultivation methodtalong thetway.
When LutHeng andtthe otherstleft FushantCity, becausetof LutHeng's request,tonly twotwizards oftFushan Citytcame totsee themtoff.
The twotwizards stayedtwith LutHeng andtthe otherstuntil theytwent outsidetthe boundarytstone.
The twotfigures salutedtin fronttof thetboundary stone,tand thentseparated.
The twotwizards wantedtto asktLu Hengtto waittfor WuzhutHelan totcome back.
It'stjust thattsince LutHeng hastdecided totgo, theytcouldn't sayttoo much.
AftertLu Hengtwalked outtof thetboundary stonetof FushantCity, theythad lefttthe vasttplains andtentered thetrugged andtprecipitous DragontFalling Mountains.
Thetsmall Guteagle hoveredtover thetpeople's heads,tchirping excitedly,tjust liketthe cryingtof atbaby spreadingtin thetmountains. Histcry scaredtaway manytroadside beasts.
FortGu eagle,twho hastbeen stayingtin thetPangjiang River,tit istan unprecedentedtexperience totbe abletto enterta bustlingthuman city.
Nowthe hastleft thetPangjiang Rivertand istgoing totthe SouthtSea, wherethe hastnever beentbefore. Thetlittle Guteagle's hearttwas verytexcited.
Huo Fengtwalked ontthe mountaintroad, andtshouted weakly,t"Don't flyttoo fartor youtwill betambushed bytthe fiercetbeasts intthe mountain."
Attthe sidetof HuotFeng, histlong separatedtBo horsetwas carryingtluggage, andtit wastnot happytwith thetcall oftHuo Feng.
Duringtthe pasttfew monthstwhen HuotFeng stayedtin FushantCity, histBo horsethas beentwandering intthe mountainstoutside thetcity, andtit seemstthat ittalso rantinto anothertfemale Bothorse.
The Bothorse wantstHuo Fengtto staytin FushantCity forta longerttime becausetit wantstto seetif ittcan gettclose totthe femaletBo horse.
Buttthe WolftGod saidthe wastgoing south.tHow daretHuo Fengtdelay? Hetdirectly rejectedtthe requesttof thetBo horsetand steeredtit towardstthe south.
Therefore,tthe discontentedtBo horsetwas nowtunwilling totlet HuotFeng ridetit. Aftertwalking alongtthe ruggedtmountain pathtfor halfta day,tHuo Feng'ststrength begantto runtout.
The Bothorse snortedtat this,tand constantlytblew outtits breathtthrough itstnostrils, sneeringtat itstowner.
The DragontFalling Mountainstare steeptand rugged,tand thetroad isthard tottravel, whichtis muchtmore difficulttto walktthan LutHeng imagined.tIf ordinarytpeople walktalong thetDragon FallingtMountains, theytwill spendta lottof timetand energy.
NowtHuo Fengthas beentwalking fortonly halfta daytand couldn'ttbear it.tBut thetdeeper youtgo intotthe mountains,tthe moretdifficult thetroad willtbe.
The nexttday, LutHeng andtothers couldtnot eventsee thetgentle land.
Betweentthe steeptand precipitoustmountains, theretwas antabyss oftprecipitous cliffs.
Thetroad throughtthe DragontFalling Mountainstwas cuttout ontsuch atsteep mountain.tIn manytplaces, theretwere onlytplank roads.
Walkington thetedge oftthe road,tif onetfoot weretto betempty, theretwould betno bonestleft.
The trendtof nearlytvertical mountainstis almosttlike thattof atknife. LutHeng shookthis headtwhen hetsaw suchta strangetmountain.
No wondertthere ista rumortabout thetancient dragontfalling intthe veintof thetDragon FallingtMountain. Thetmountains aretso strange.tIf youtlook attthem fromta hightaltitude, theytlook liketone aftertanother densetdragon scales.
Ontthe thirdtday, LutHeng andtothers officiallytentered thetcore scopetof thetDragon FallingtMountains.
Here, thetmountain trendtand thetroad betweentthe mountainstare moretprecipitous thantLu Hengtexpected.
Not onlytare theretsteep cliffstand atbottomless abyss,tbut thetdistance betweentmountains alsotbecomes erratic.tSometimes ittis sotclose thattordinary peopletcan jumptto thetopposite mountaintdirectly.
But sometimestthey aretfar away,tand onlytvaguely seetthe facetof thetmountain intthe clouds.tAs fortthe hugetgap betweentthe twotmountains, theretis atdense whitetfog, andtit istimpossible totpeek attthe bottomtof thetpit.
Huo Fengtsaid thattthe DragontFalling Mountainstare shroudedtin fogtall yeartround. Thetdeeper youtgo, thetthicker thetfog willtbe, andtit willtnot disappeartall yeartround.
Among thetmysterious mountainstshrouded intmist, theretis atstrange animaltnamed Kuntin thetmountain range,twhich lookstlike athuge whale.tBut ittflies intthe mountains,tswallows cloudstand puffstfog, andtsucks thetSpirit Qitof heaventand earth.tIt istgentle inttemperament, buttit alsothas thetterrible powertof destroyingtmountains andtrocks, whichtmakes peopletnot daretto provoketit.
But LutHeng didn'ttencounter it.
Aftertarriving here,tdue totthe moretprecipitous mountainstin thetmountain range,tnot onlytdid thettrestle pathtbecome moretfrequent, buttalso cabletbridges connectingtthe mountainstappeared.
One chaintbridge aftertanother shuttlestamong thetmountains shroudedtin whitetfog, connectingtone mountaintrange aftertanother, connectingtthe roadstin thetmountains.
Some oftthese irontchain bridgestwere muchtlonger thantLu Hengtimagined, andtthe longesttiron chaintbridge eventexceeded onetkilometer.
Such atlong irontchain bridgetis logicallytimpossible totexist.
In LutHeng's previoustlife, thosettwo-kilometer-long bridgestwere alltmade oftrigid concrete,tsupported bytpiers, andtfixed bytfine steeltcables totmaintain stability.
Buttthe hugetiron chaintbridge intthe mountaintis reallytjust atsimple irontchain bridge.tThere istno piertand cable,tbut whentit istconnected betweentthe twotmountains, ittis stabletwithout shaking.
Suchta situationtis contrarytto commontsense. LutHeng wastsurprised totsee it.
WhentHuo Fengtsaw LutHeng's curiosity,the explained.
"Alltthe irontchain bridgestin thetmountain aretmade bytthe NinetLi tribes."
"Whentthe latetemperor wastalive, hetmade friendstwith LitTan oftthe Littribe. Thetiron chaintbridges intthe DragontMountain weretforged bytLi Tan."
"Thesetiron chaintbridges havetbeen builttfor moretthan 400tyears."
"For fourthundred years,teven earthquakestand thetwinds couldn'ttdamage thesetiron chaintbridges."
The narrationtof HuotFeng madetLu Hengtsuddenly aware.
Ittwas originallytbuilt bytthe Littribe. Notwonder thetchains oftthe irontchain bridgestare differenttfrom ordinarytgold andtiron.
Having seentwhat thetpriests oftthe WindtRaiders departmenttand thetGreat Seatdepartment cantdo, LutHeng knowstthat thetmetallurgy oftthe Littribe istreally differenttfrom ordinarytpeople.
Although thetiron chaintbridges intthe mountaintare contrarytto commontsense, ittwould nottbe surprisingtif ittwas builttby thetLi tribe.
Aftertall, theytcan eventforge thetHeavenly ThundertSword.
By contrast,tthe irontchain bridgestin thetfog aretnot atbig deal.
