There was a rugged road between the mountains and forests. After entering the mountain, there were few people. The further in, Chen Changsheng felt that the road became more and more bumpy, and the vegetation became denser.
.
What started as a big road later became a road with room for only one person, but this road has never been cut off.
Chen Changsheng suddenly paused.
He looked up and was stunned for a moment.
The first thing you see is a cliff rising from the ground, as if it is reaching the top of the clouds. On top of the stone monument, there are apes climbing and walking around, which is extremely dangerous.
"Sichuan..."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, but when he looked carefully, he realized that it was different. There were rivets climbing over the mountains in Shu, but the huge mountains in front of him were completely empty.
But there is one place that stands out in particular.
There seemed to be an iron chain falling down on the mountain, and on the cliff, there was a small hole dug out by humans.
Chen Changsheng stepped closer to the cliff.
Looking up, I saw the iron chain covered with rust and falling from the suspended ceiling.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you realize how shocking this place is.
Chen Changsheng tried to pull on the iron chain, and a clanging sound was heard, but then he suddenly saw something dangerous.
"Pap..."
The loose gravel on the cliff was knocked down by the iron chain.
Chen Changsheng took half a step back.
Then several stones were seen falling, accompanied by a faint puff of smoke.
"Is it really such a dangerous road?"
Chen Changsheng's expression paused slightly. He pondered for a moment, and then he grabbed the iron rope and jumped up with force on his hand.
"Wow."
As the green shirt fluttered, Chen Changsheng's eyesight shifted.
Grasping the iron rope with his palm, he came to the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave is extremely small, and can only accommodate one person walking in with a hunched body.
On the left and right sides of the hole, there are many logs used as supports. Many of them are somewhat rotten and can be reduced to debris once broken. However, there are also many new logs, and even one of them has green skin, which seems to be
It was established here only recently.
Chen Changsheng leaned down and entered the cave.
At a glance, he saw light coming from the opposite side.
'This is cutting through the entire mountain!'
Chen Changsheng was shocked by the sight in front of him. How many people must have spent so much effort to dig out such a 'road'.
Chen Changsheng just came back to his senses, but suddenly found an incense burner at his feet.
The incense burner has been filled up, and on the wall of the cave entrance on the side is a statue of a god, with an inscription on the side that reads - [Tienque Mountain Yuezheng God's Table].
On the other side, there is a line of writing engraved.
[The ancestors used their strength to cut through the mountains and cut walls to penetrate the mountains, so that this trail can connect the inside and outside. Later generations should bear in mind the difficulty of traveling, love and protect it, and never cut off this path.]
Chen Changsheng's fingertips rubbed over the handwriting, as if a period of time had flowed through his fingertips.
Chen Changsheng came back to his senses, looked at the statue of the mountain god, and then said: "Please also ask the Tianque Mountain God to show up and say something."
As Chen Changsheng finished speaking.
I saw a short figure appear in this crowded cave.
This Tianque Mountain God has a stooped figure, an old face, and a white beard hanging down his chest. When he opens his eyes and looks at it, it makes people feel a little oozing. Although his back is hunched, it seems that he is only that tall.
"I have met the Immortal Chief Yuan Pingshan, the righteous god of Mount Tianque."
Chen Changsheng returned the gift with his hand, and then asked: "Dare I ask the righteous god, is this way really forged by human power?"
Yuan Laoshan God replied: "Three hundred years ago, it was the little god who led people to climb the mountain and cut the walls, and carved out this Zhongshan Road bit by bit."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused slightly, then raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry."
"Don't dare."
When Yuan Laoshan God heard this, his heart trembled, and he waved his hands quickly, and then said: "The Immortal is really too polite. If the Immortal wants to ask anything, the little god knows all the answers."
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen a monk in the past three hundred years. He was in awe and did not dare to speak casually.
Chen Changsheng said: "Yuan Shanshen doesn't need to be cautious. Chen is just curious and is not looking for trouble."
Mountain God Yuan Lao nodded, and then said: "Immortal, please tell me."
Chen Changsheng said: "I wonder how long it took from the time it was dug to the time it was completed?"
Yuan Shan’s Shinto: “It takes five years and seven months to fully understand it.”
"What about the labor cost?"
"Returning to Immortal Chief, there are thirty-two people in total, and thirteen are dead."
When Chen Changsheng heard this number, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Only thirty-two people..."
He opened his mouth and said: "It turns out to be a battle of perseverance..."
Yuan Shan said: "Back then, thirty-two of us took turns to go up the mountain and use hemp ropes to transport wood and cut the walls. If there had been iron chains like these now, so many people would not have died."
Chen Changsheng said: "Yuanshan God is a man of great perseverance, and so are the other thirty-one people. As a monk, Chen has the ability to cross mountains, but when he saw this iron cable mountain road, he was extremely shocked. The so-called
Human power is infinite, that's what you think it is, this way will benefit future generations for hundreds of years, it can be regarded as an unparalleled contribution!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shan Shen was shocked and said: "The immortal's words are serious. Neither the little god nor the thirty-two of us can bear this unparalleled achievement. We just did something we have always wanted to do."
It’s just a matter of fact.”
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and said: "Chen once saw someone digging nails into the cliff and inserting wood to cast a road. It is particularly dangerous. Just a road over the mountain requires thousands of manpower. Thirty-two people can dig such a road.
It's really not easy, and Yuan Zhengshen doesn't have to be humble about it."
After hearing this, God Yuan Shan said: "Little God, the little God thanked the Immortal on their behalf."
Chen Changsheng looked at the cave, which was less than half a person's height, and asked: "Are there many people who have passed this way in recent years?"
"actually……"
Yuan Shan said: "There are not many left."
"In previous years, this road was the shortest way, but since Changguan Mountain, which was dozens of miles away, was dug up a century ago, very few people walk here anymore."
Yuan Shanshen smiled and said: "This trail is extremely dangerous, and people often slip under their feet and fall to the bottom of the cliff. Now that there is a road on Changguan Mountain, it is much better, and it is smooth all the way."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "But why did Chen see that many of the logs in the mountain path are brand new, and many of the incense candles in the furnace are newly inserted."
Yuan Shan Shinto said: "It is because the descendants have never forgotten the instructions of their ancestors, so they often come up here to reinforce the cave and then worship three pillars of incense."
"If you don't forget your roots, that's how it should be." Chen Changsheng nodded, and then said: "But if that's the case, I'm afraid you won't be able to maintain your position as a righteous god for long."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhengshen said: "It doesn't matter to the little god, as long as the descendants are safe."
"The next generation is safe."
Chen Changsheng laughed, and then said: "But Chen can't see such a thing. According to Chen, this statue incense burner is not good here and needs to be replaced."
Yuan Shanshen was stunned and asked: "Change?"
"Yes, change it."
Chen Changsheng stayed away.
I saw gravel flying under the mountain, and the trees in the forest were rolled up by a golden light, turning into original pillars and roof ridges in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Zhengshen was stunned for a moment and looked down the mountain.
Suddenly, a temple suddenly fell to the ground and fell steadily.
The incense burner in the cave also floated up, entered the Taoist temple, and landed firmly in the temple.
The temple is located on the side of the mountain road, and everyone passing by can see it.
"The Immortal..."
Yuan Zhengshen was about to speak.
When I turned around, I couldn't see the immortal figure.
But suddenly I heard a hearty laughter ringing from the mountain.
"I hope Yuan Zhengshen's incense will continue to grow. This mountain temple will live up to its unparalleled merits."
The sound came from all directions.
Yuan Zhengshen's eyes were slightly red, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying thanks: "Little God, I thank you for your kindness!"
