Chapter 688
Thousand-foot Building is a large crack on the cliff, trapped between the boulders on both sides. There are nearly 400 steps in total. The slope is very steep, and the width of each step is only one-third of the sole of a foot.
If you accidentally slip and fall here, even if you don't die, you will lose half your life.
"Mr. Xia Liang, this thousand-foot building is indeed extraordinary."
Arriving in front of the Renchi Building, Kawai Shochiku looked down at his feet, as if staring into an abyss with no end in sight.
"If Mr. Kawai is worried about safety, I think it is better to go back here. After all, you are still bringing the old man with you, which will be very inconvenient."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a few steps, it can't stop us."
After Kawai Shochiku finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked downwards.
As Kawai Shochiku set off, others followed suit. The Thousand-foot Building is indeed the first dangerous barrier in Mount Huashan. The top of the stone steps is like a well.
If the wellhead is covered with an iron cover, the road to Huashan will be blocked, so this thousand-foot building is also called Taihua Throat.
Everyone supported the stone wall next to them with both hands, taking every step carefully.
Among them, the most difficult one is Kurokawa Kishiki. This guy is still carrying the old man on his back. Fortunately, the opponent has also practiced, and his lower body is solid, which makes him much more stable than others.
Xia Liang, who was walking at the back, was also observing these people.
Except for the five men from Kawai Shochiku and one of the women named Ozawa Ria who already knew that their hands were stained with blood, he didn't pay attention to the others.
But now it is discovered that except for the old man who is carrying it on his back, the remaining six people actually have some basic skills.
Especially those women, if they are ordinary women, even if they are bolder, they will tremble every time they take a step.
But these women were not as solid in their moves. Every step they took seemed to have been settled before.
"It's really not that simple."
Xia Liang narrowed his eyes. He became more and more certain that such a group of powerful Sakura people would never do anything bad when they came to Xia Kingdom.
"Mr. Xia Liang, this thousand-foot building was indeed a dangerous obstacle hundreds of years ago, but now it is not something to be afraid of."
Soon everyone passed the Thousand-foot Building. Kawai Shozhu looked at Xia Liang and said with a smile.
The other party is right. As a tourist area, this place has been constructed and the danger has been reduced to a minimum.
Without construction, it would have been a dangerous place a hundred years ago, and one could lose one's life if not careful.
"Mr. Kawai, do you want to take a rest? Ahead of us is the Baichi Gorge, also called Baizhang Cliff, which is the second dangerous pass on Mount Huashan.
Xia Liang said and looked at Kurokawa Mushi next to him. Although this guy looked very strong, carrying a person on his back took a lot of energy.
"It's okay let's go."
Kawai Shochiku smiled, and Kurokawa Kishiki, although he didn't speak, nodded to show that he was fine.
Since there were no problems, Xia Liang did not stop him and led everyone to the north for a short distance before arriving at the Baichi Gorge. The mountains here were steep and the walls were cut in all directions like an axe, nearly 90 degrees vertical. .
Against the background of the dark green vegetation covering the nearby mountains, the masculine and upright appearance of Huashan Mountain is fully displayed.
Compared with Wang Qianchi Tower, Baichi Gorge is much shorter, with only 91 stone steps and iron ropes next to it. Visitors can walk on the iron ropes.
"Mr. Kawai, please look at this. This is the Hundred-foot Gorge. The stone walls on both sides are about to close together, but they are pushed open by two flying stones.
In the past, when people drilled under the stone, they were afraid that the stone would fall from between the two walls. This was a thrilling experience, so this stone was also called the Shocking Stone. "
Listening to Xia Liang's introduction, Kawai Shochiku and others also looked at the two stones above their heads. The closer they got, the feeling in their hearts that the stones would fall.
"It is indeed a bit thrilling. If this stone falls, you will definitely not survive."
Kawai Shochiku nodded. Being able to make him feel this way showed that there was indeed something unusual here.
The stone steps, which were less than a hundred steps, were no problem for everyone. They could easily cross it in a few minutes without any accidents during the process.
After passing through Wang Chi Zhuang and Bai Chi Gorge, everyone also came to Yun Tou Stone.
"Let's take a rest here first. Ahead is Laojun's Furrow, the third dangerous pass in Huashan Mountain."
Xia Liang looked at everyone and said.
"Mr. Xia Liang, this Huashan Mountain really surprises me. There are three dangerous passes in a chain. If this place hadn't been turned into a tourist area, anyone who dared to come here would probably be scared to death even if they didn't slip and fall down the mountain."
Kawai Shochiku said, and everyone began to rest. Although they still had plenty of physical strength, they did not care about it. After all, they had plenty of time.
"Mr. Kawai is right. Even though I am from the Xia Kingdom, I am impressed by the wisdom and hard work of my ancestors."
Xia Liang nodded and chatted with the other party.
Kawai Shochiku knew Xia Guo very well. Even if Xia Liang talked about some history, the other party could answer it with ease.
If he were an ordinary tourist, Xia Liang would think it was great. After all, a foreigner understands the history of the Dragon Kingdom so well. Unfortunately, this guy is not an ordinary person!
After resting for about half an hour, everyone started to set off again, heading towards Laojun's furrow.
Laojun's furrow is a ditch-shaped road sandwiched between steep stone walls, with more than 750 stone steps.
The reason why it is called this ravine is said to be that Taishang Laojun passed by here and saw that there was no way to go, so he brought Qingsheng and plowed the ravine overnight. Even on the cliff on the west side, there are still some ravines. Distinct stone furrows like plow grooves.
Of course, there is also a saying that this Laojun Ligou was originally called Laojun Ligu. It is said that the founder of Taoism, Li Er, arrived here and left the dust and dirt to reach the fairyland.
However, because Ligu and Ligou have the same pronunciation, and this place is indeed like a Ligou, there are legends of the Wosheng Stone, the Qingsheng Tree in the Yue Temple, and the place where Laojun hung the plow on the north peak on Huashan Mountain, so it is accustomed to call this place Laojun Ligou.
At the end of Laojunxinggou is Houhouchou. As the name suggests, even monkeys are worried here, which is enough to show how steep the surrounding cliffs are.
There is also a folk saying circulating in the local area.
"Thousand-foot building, hundred-foot gorge, Laojunxinggou slowly".
However, Laojunxinggou is quite safe at this time. There are iron chains hanging on both sides. You only need to grab the iron chains to climb safely.
After everyone took photos below, under the lead of Xia Liang, everyone also began to climb up Laojunligou.
Although there are only more than 500 stone steps, the stairs are extremely steep. If you are not physically strong enough, you will be exhausted after climbing halfway.
Xia Liang climbed to the top first, panting and turning his head to look at Kawai Shotake and others. Except for the women who looked a little tired, the others looked very relaxed.
Even Kurokawa Muishi, who was carrying an old man, was still calm.
"Mr. Xia Liang, why don't you take a rest first?"
