When everything was ready, the three of them set off at noon, went straight out of the west gate of Dragon Scale City, walked along the bank of the Divine Mother River, and headed northwest......

Inside the west gate, an inconspicuous carriage stopped on the side of the road, the curtain of the car was lifted to a corner, and the four figures were seen moving away from each other, so they closed.

There were only two people in the carriage, one of them was extraordinary-looking, with a thick beard, Leng Leng looked at the direction in which Master You disappeared, and on the other side, there was an old man who was full of energy.

He saw the former's worried look, so he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The Ram Governor looks a little worried~ It's okay, I see that these people are extraordinary, and they will definitely be able to succeed! Besides, for the sake of the common people in the world, it is inevitable to make sacrifices." We are in danger, no matter what the price we pay this time, we must seize the opportunity!"

The two people in the car are none other than the Ram Hei and the Emperor of Hezhen - Li Xuanli!

When the ram heir heard this, he replied respectfully: "Shengshang, after many inquiries from Weichen, there must be something strange in Fengya Forest! Otherwise, how could he fight into the air with the strength of the whole army in the Northern Regions in the past?

It's just ~ Although these four people are all good at mastering this time, they can't divulge secrets on this trip, in case something really happens at that time, Weichen is still afraid that they will break up the gang with internal strife! Besides, we are not familiar with Fengyalin, and many situations are just imaginary, if they really poke out something unintentionally...... I'm afraid that if the task is not completed, it will backfire, and I will lose a few lives in vain!"

After Li Xuanli listened, he also felt reasonable, so he pondered. In this way, the two of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was condensed.

In the end, it was the latter who sighed and broke the silence: "That's it, there is no turning back from the bow, now that the plan has begun, let's trust them first, I believe that they can bring back some good news...... We have to be prepared with both hands, and we must not leak the news in the palace! Now many people are waiting to see my jokes......"

His tone was full of helplessness, he patted the ram's shoulder, and finally said: "It's useless to say more, since they have already set off, it is useless for us to stay here, there are more things that you and I need to deal with."

Captain of the Ram, you must prepare now so that when they return, they will be answered. But try to keep quiet, and remember: I can't have anything to do with this! you know what to do...... It's useless to talk too much, so ask the coachman to send us back first. ”......

At this time, Master You and his entourage had already left Dragon Scale City far behind, and they walked along the river and trekked through the mountains. Although it is very close to the capital, due to the geographical environment, the official road is also sloppy.

The official road is open on the edge of the cliff, and on the left is a high cliff as high as hundreds of zhang, and the bottom of the deep gully is the Shenmu River. This kind of terrain is particularly peculiar, like a giant axe that opens the sky, directly cutting a hole in the earth!

Six or seven hundred miles further on, there was a gap, and it took them two days to reach it. At this point, the landscape changed: the deep ravine was gone, and the Divine Mother River returned to the horizon, roaring and rushing past in front of him.

Such an abrupt change is due to a waterfall in front of you. The water flows gently from a high place, and when it passes by, it suddenly becomes a cliff. The huge water dragon roared, plunged headlong into the cliff nearly 100 zhang deep, and formed a small lake at the bottom of the cliff. It flows so slowly downstream that a huge ravine is formed at the rear.

Although the three of them were in a hurry, they couldn't help but stop, deeply shocked by this natural magic. Master Jin looked down with his neck and couldn't help but exclaim: "Good girl! If you fall from such a high place, I'm afraid you won't even be able to float a feather!"

With such a large amount of water rushing down from such a high place, the strength of the Shenmu River is more than ten thousand! Not to mention people, it is just a stubborn rock, and if it falls, it will be torn apart! When Zhang and Master Zeng heard this, they also felt the same way, and as they watched the mist rise under the cliff, their hearts of awe aspired spontaneously.

Only Master You, who has lived in Dragon Scale City all the year round, felt that the three of them seemed to be making a fuss. He is very familiar with the history and legends of Hezhen and Tianluan, and immediately casually made a local allusion:

This place is called "Longmen Stream", the waterfall is 100 zhang high, and the bottom pond is 1,000 feet deep! The deep gully of the lower reaches is called "Shuanglong Gorge", which stretches for 800 miles, and out of the dragon scale city, it is a horse and a flat river.

Legend has it that there is no such spectacular scenery here, and the name of Shuanglong Gorge also has a history. Folk legend: Three hundred years ago, it was still a flat river, and the Shenmu River flowed through the city wall of the thousand-year-old city "Shenjian City". People work here at sunrise and rest at sunset, relying on the unique environment, there is no dispute with the world, and the life is peaceful and smooth.

Speaking of Shenjian City, it has a long history, as early as six hundred years ago, when the Divine Emperor Du Xuan unified the Shenya territory, the Shenjian City stood on the Shenjian Mountain. So far, there is not a single ancient book that describes when it was built and by whom. It seems that the history has been long and forgotten here.

After all, the people here live a life of no quarrel with the world, and they are not affected by the war all year round. When the God Emperor led his troops here, he heard the story here, and was deeply infected, so he waded through the river alone to visit the Divine Arm City. Even though he slaughtered all sides in the end, and the war spread to the entire Shenya, it did not hurt a single flower or grass here.

But the good times didn't last long, Tianluan was founded for hundreds of years, and the rulers also changed dozens of dynasties. Three hundred years ago, when the emperor of Tianluan implemented harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the country became rich and powerful, but the common people below were miserable.

Over time, the people had no intention of farming, merchants did not dare to engage in business, and the whole kingdom seemed to be thriving, but in fact it was close to falling short. At this time, the emperor hit the heart of the Divine Arm City.

For thousands of years, the Divine Arm City has been self-sufficient, and the food piled up is enough for several cities in the Tianluan Kingdom to last for several months! Moreover, there is a mountain temple on the Divine Arm Mountain, and the mountain god statue holds a bead of immeasurable value in his hand. Legend has it that he was the guardian deity of Mt. Shenji, and on one night he gave a dream to the lord of the castle at the time: "Huaqi".

He turned into a bright and upright person, put others before himself, and defended a small god arm city, but he never touched any crooked thoughts of the people below, so as to win the hearts of the people. Legend has it that the god of the Divine Arm Mountain entrusted the Divine Bead to him, and also said an intriguing sentence to him:

Now the world is uneven, and the number of Tianluan countries has been exhausted, which is not as peaceful and prosperous as the world. This divine pearl has an evil nature, it can protect Shenya and this city from war, but it can also make the great cause of a country for thousands of years, ruined in a flash! Now I entrust it to you, at a critical moment, it can protect both sides. But ~ the person who needs to hold it has good intentions, and if he is not careful, he may even be in danger of his life...... Hope that the good life is sealed......

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the team of Tianluan Kingdom to enter the Divine Arm City. forced Huaqi to hand over the city lord's order, and asked him to pay tribute to a fortune that the whole city could not bear. In the end, the idea was directly hit by the divine bead in the mountain temple.

Unable to bear it, he turned into a madness, and killed the tax soldiers of the Tianluan Kingdom all over the ground looking for teeth! The last few who escaped hurried back to Anhua City to report to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven was furious, so he sent a large army to personally go to the Divine Arm City to crusade against Huaqi. On the banks of the Divine Mother River, the army has three layers inside and three layers outside, and all the ways out of the Divine Arm City have been sealed!

Hua Qi put away the drawbridge, closed the city gate, and pondered for three days and three nights in front of the statue in the mountain temple. In the end, he simply swallowed the divine bead directly into his stomach! He originally wanted to destroy this bead, but he never thought that the divine bead would go down to his stomach, and he would be terrible immediately!

Hua Qi kept churning on the ground, and when others saw it, they were frightened. Unexpectedly, before he stepped forward, the former roared violently into the sky! The long roar was like a dragon's roar, and it was like rolling east thunder! It shook the Divine Mother River and set off a huge wave! Not long after, I saw that his body swelled violently. But at this time, Hua Qi still had wisdom, and he didn't want to harm the people of the city because he was crazy for a while, so he stumbled out of the city.

The city gate, which was several feet high and two feet thick, was smashed to pieces by it at once! After rushing out of the city gate, Hua Qi fell directly into the river, and his body was stained with water, and the heavens and the earth immediately became lightning and thunder, and the wind was fierce! I saw that he turned into a giant dragon in the blink of an eye, and with a flick of his long tail, he swept the emperor of Hezhenguo, who bore the brunt of the attack, into powder; with a slap of his palms, the sky suddenly collapsed! The great river that had been flowing smoothly was torn open in an instant! It separated the army of Zhenguo from the city of Shenji.

The army was leaderless, and was frightened by the sight in front of them, even if he threw away his armor and gave up his mind to take the Divine Arm City, he slipped back...... And the transformation into a divine dragon, churning all the way, simply stirred up the earth directly out of a deep ravine hundreds of feet deep and hundreds of miles long, and finally ascended to the sky...... This valley is what people later called "Shuanglong Gorge".

What the mountain god said to Hua Qi was also fulfilled one by one: Originally, Tianluan's national qi had been exhausted, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Hua Qi gave up himself, not only killed the mediocre emperor, but also kept the Divine Arm City. Not long after the army returned, the new Son of Heaven ascended the throne. This emperor was sympathetic to the people's feelings, governed the country in a good way, and gradually returned to the right track with Zhenguo, and never had the idea of fighting the Divine Arm City again......

After listening to Master You's story, the other three just smiled, a bizarre story like this is not credible. Right in front of everyone's eyes, above the waterfall, a bridge was built along the cliff and crossed the river. According to historical records, this bridge was built by the god emperor when the Shenmu River was dry, and it has a history of more than 600 years.

If, according to the myth, Hua Qi slapped such a deep canyon at the bottom with one palm, and the bridge is intact, this is a bit unreasonable; besides, there are many ropeways in Shuanglong Gorge, and their history is older than that of Hua Qi, so isn't the story contradictory? Several people have already stepped on this ancient stone bridge while talking and laughing.

This stone bridge is very spacious, and according to Master You's account, after the God Emperor ruled the world, the only way to connect to the Divine Arm City was the few cableways downstream. The ropeway is connected to the cliff tops on both sides by four or five iron chains, and some wooden planks are paved. Walking on it, the whole rope bridge is shaky, and the surging river is empty under your feet, which is very steep.

When Du Xuan was old and critically ill, he always remembered that he wanted to see the Divine Arm City, so his loyal subordinates took advantage of the dry period of Longmen Stream to build this stone bridge. Only then did the God Emperor get what he wanted, and he took one last look at the Divine Arm City.

Later, the country changed hands, and the founding monarch of Zhen Kingdom, Li Shanlou, set his capital in Longscale City, and deployed the main army in Shenjian City. After decades of continuous repair, widening and reinforcement by the two emperors, it finally became the bridge in front of which was nearly three zhang wide and sixty or seventy zhang long!

The gap that was difficult to cross in the past is now only a matter of a few hours for an army of 100,000 to cross the river. Walking on the bridge, feeling the magic of nature and the ingenious skills of craftsmen, the ingenious combination of two and two, is really admirable!

The four of them leaned on the edge of the bridge railing, looking at the rushing river under their feet, and felt even more insignificant. Master Jin remembered the legend just now, and couldn't help but sneer: "Such a spectacular scenery is beyond the reach of man, if you don't stand on this bridge yourself, I'm afraid I can't believe that this bridge was also built by the ancients!

Master You shook his head slowly, and continued: "There is another version of this legend: it is said that three hundred years ago, the mediocre emperor led his troops here, but unexpectedly met with strong resistance from Huayi. He directly took control of the bridge, in a vain attempt to directly trap the people of the Divine Arm City in the city.

Hua Qi ordered the elite soldiers, guarded the bridge, and swore not to give up a single boundary, and it reached a stalemate. Similarly, he pondered in the temple for three days and three nights, and finally he couldn't get angry, so he simply swallowed the divine bead in one gulp, preferring that the pearl would destroy people!

As everyone knows, Hua Qi swallowed the Divine Bead and immediately turned into a monster as big as a dragon! Directly rushed across the bridge alone, as if entering a no-man's land, and directly killed the soldiers of the Tianluan Kingdom beyond parry! In the melee, he did not know how many wounds he had in his body, but not only did he not die, but he became more and more courageous, directly killing in the center of the position, picking up the mediocre emperor, and throwing himself into this bottomless abyss. Since then, there has been no ......"

There are even detailed rumors that some ordinary people pass by here in the middle of the night and hear strange noises coming from the bottom of the stream. The more this matter spreads, the more evil it becomes, there is a saying: It was the monster that turned into a deep pool that fell into the deep pool, and was not killed by falling, but was trapped in the Longmen Stream. And there is another dragon king living in Longmen Stream, which is the elephant fish king who has not yet attained enlightenment, and the two fight each other, and every time there is a certain time, the elephant fish king will fight with the monster that Hua Qi has turned into. The name "Shuanglong Gorge" is also derived from this.

The local people say that there is a huge cave hidden in the waterfall, and Huaqi hides in the cave. But Master Jin and the others listened to Master You's words, just as a small story after dinner, of course they would not believe this kind of folk myth. Probably people had some difficulty accepting that the city of the Divine Arm would die overnight, so they made up this story for comfort......

Everyone stopped and stayed for a moment, and finally Master Jin looked at the other three, and said: "Now is not the time to sigh, the army of corpse monsters is eyeing the northwest area, if we just linger here and delay the business, then no matter how spectacular the scene is, I am afraid that no one will enjoy it...... Let's get there!" ......
