Chapter 121: Bridge across the river

Views:

The morning sun was shining, and the two thick gates of the Wancang Mansion were slowly opened. The people waiting at the gate quickly walked towards the city, and some people who were going to get out of the city early also came from the other side. Walk out of the city gate in an orderly manner.

Mo He followed the flow of people out of the city, walked out of the city gate slowly, looked back at the tall and majestic tower, Mo He smiled slightly, then turned his head and left gracefully.

After staying in Wancang Mansion for nearly ten days, Mo He continued to travel to the next stop. Before leaving, Mo He went to the restaurant in the city of Wancang Mansion to taste the fresh fish of Wancang Mansion again.

After leaving the city of Wancang, Mohe continued to go up the Wanjiang River, but this time Mohe didn't dare to continue on the waterway, and wanted to sail in the Wanjiang River. Except for those big monster hunting ships, ordinary ships don't have this In terms of ability, it is better to walk on land honestly.

Mohe discovered that the terrain of Cangzhou is very similar to a leaf. Wanjiang is the vein of this leaf, which divides the whole Cangzhou into two, and there are also tributaries that flow to other places.

If Mohe wants to reach Jingzhou via Cangzhou, he must first pass through Wanjiang to reach the other side of the river, and then pass through another prefecture in Cangzhou to enter Jingzhou.

There are two ways for ordinary people to pass the Wanjiang River. The first is the big boats on the river. These big boats are specially arranged by the Cangzhou prefectures to facilitate the cross-strait exchanges, and they need to charge the boats at a low price. If you don’t have capital, you can take such a big boat to reach the other side of the river, and you only go back and forth once a day, which is considered a benefit to the people.

The second method is the upstream cross-river bridge. This bridge is built at the junction of Wancang Mansion and another mansion city. It was built by the Tiangong School to facilitate the connection between the two banks.

It is said that the bridge has been built for more than 10,000 years and has undergone dozens of repairs. Today, it has almost become a landmark building in Cangzhou.

Mohe came out this time to travel and gain experience, so he naturally wanted to see the Cangzhou River Bridge.

When Mo He came to the border of Wancang Mansion, he found that this place turned out to be a very lively small county town. Before entering this county town, Mo He had already seen the bridge across the river.

The bridge body of this bridge is hundreds of meters above the water surface of the Wanjiang River. The bridge body spans the entire river surface, like a giant dragon across the river. It is very spectacular. , rooted on the land far from the shore.

The reason why the two ends of the bridge are so far away from the river is probably because they are worried that the water monsters in the river will destroy the bridge. It may also be because of this reason that there is no support at all under the bridge. Of course, it may not need any support.

"What a river-crossing bridge, it really lives up to its reputation!" Seeing the outline of the river-crossing bridge from a distance, Mo He couldn't help but praise it.

Entering the small county town, Mo He did not rush to board the bridge, but walked around the small county town, and soon he understood the reason why this county town is so bustling and lively.

To be precise, this is not one county seat, but two county seats. This place is located at the junction of Wancang Mansion and another prefecture city, but due to the cross-river bridge, the two county towns next to the cross-river bridge will be the center of gravity of development, and they will continue to move towards the cross-river bridge. Over time, the distance between the original two counties became closer and closer. Until now, as the boundary between Wancang Mansion and another prefecture city, it has also become a street, and the other side of the street has entered another The scope of Fucheng, this side is still within the scope of Wancang Mansion.

The people who live here hardly care about this anymore, they are almost completely merged with each other to form a county town, which makes this place even more prosperous.

Mo He noticed that the number of casual cultivators in this small county was not less than that in Wancang Prefecture, but most of these casual cultivators were not very high-level, and even few of them were in the realm of spirit and soul. In the realm of Taoism, even monks who are still in the Qi accumulation period.

Mo He saw some casual cultivators carrying a magic weapon with a fishing rod, and then a few people walked together in twos and threes, walking towards the cross-river bridge, which immediately attracted Mo He's attention.

Following behind these casual practitioners, Mo He also walked towards the entrance of the cross-river bridge, and at the same time listened carefully to their conversation.

"Yesterday was so unlucky that I caught a water demon in the realm of the soul. As a last resort, I had to cut the fishing line. I hope my luck will be better today."

"Two days ago, I heard that Zhang Daoyou and the others collected enough jade money, and a few of them bought a boat, and they have already gone to Yuhekou to participate in the monster hunting!"

"Really, I've heard that too. I don't know when we will be able to afford a boat and participate in the hunting activities!"

Mo He listened to the conversation of the three casual cultivators in front of him. All three of them had only entered the Dao realm. From their conversations, it was not difficult to hear that these three casual cultivators were relatively poor and had never participated in the training. Hunting activities. Mo He caught a message that the first three casual cultivators seemed to really be fishing.

Following the three casual practitioners in front of him all the way, Mo He soon came to the entrance of the cross-river bridge.

Looking at the steps at the entrance, the steps go straight up, and I can't count how many steps there are, all the way to the high bridge deck.

"Ordinary people want to cross the river once, and it may take an hour or two just to climb these steps!" Looking at the tall steps, Mo He thought to himself.

After arriving here, the three casual cultivators that Mo He had been following began to approach the river along the bottom of the bridge.

Mo He released his divine sense to scan, only to find that under the bridge, there are many casual cultivators fishing here with fishing rods. There are five groups, one person manipulates the magic weapon of the fishing rod, and the rest wait by the side.

These low-level casual cultivators should be the bottom group of people in the cultivation world. Some of them were relatively old when they entered the Tao, and some of them entered the Tao on their own after gaining some fortune. They do not have good exercises and no teachers to teach them. , and without the resources to support his own cultivation, he could only carefully find ways to obtain the resources for his own growth.

This river-crossing bridge was built by the Tiangong school. Just the steps leading to the bridge deck have a strong defense force. The bricks and stones used to build these steps are similar to those seen by Mohe in Wancang Mansion. The city wall bricks used in the city walls I have seen are of the same material, and even the runes carved on them are exactly the same.

It took so much thought to just go up the stairs, so one can imagine how much thought should be spent on the bridge across the river above.

In order to prevent some powerful water monsters from trying to attack the bridge across the river above, the bridge specially set up some dispelling runes for those water monsters with strong cultivation bases, so that those water monsters with stronger cultivation bases would not be willing to attack. Those who are close to the cross-river bridge, and those water monsters with relatively low cultivation bases, will not be affected in any way.

It is precisely because of this that there are casual cultivators with the same low cultivation base, who take advantage of this characteristic of the bridge to catch these water monsters with relatively low cultivation bases by fishing, and exchange them for cultivation resources. This is why, here are The reason for so many casual cultivators with low cultivation bases.

Mo He quickly figured this out, and he felt pity for these casual cultivators. His master, Daoist Qingmei, was probably in the same situation as these casual cultivators, and he might have gone through such a hard time. Compared with the real life of humble and helpless casual cultivators, my luck is much better.

Lifting his feet and stepping up the upward steps, Mo He didn't pay attention to those casual practitioners any more, and walked up slowly all the way. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness was always divergent, and he carefully explored every part of the bridge.

After careful investigation with his spiritual sense, Mo He found out how much thought Tiangong school had spent on this bridge across the river. The defense power of the stairs he is walking up now is probably not even the slightest compared to the city wall of Wancang Mansion. Not inferior.

The inscribed runes that form the steps under the feet are like marble-like stones. After the methods of Tiangong school, under the investigation of Mohe's spiritual consciousness, every stone is closely connected together, almost completely integrated , and attracted a trace of earth energy, which greatly increased the defenses on both sides of the bridge. I am afraid that the water monsters in the pure yang realm may not be able to destroy the bridgeheads on both sides in a short time.

More than half an hour later, Mo He boarded the bridge deck across the river. Seeing the scene in front of him, he felt even more admiration in his heart, but this time he admired not only the means, but also the arrogance of the Tiangong school.

The bridge deck is more than 40 meters wide, and its length is a little longer than the width of the entire river. There are stone guardrails on both sides, which are sapphire in color. If Mohe read this material correctly, it should be sapphire, a kind of Materials with a very hard texture can be used to refine some magic tools that win by weight, such as big seals, hills and the like.

But such materials, on this bridge, are only used as guardrails on both sides of the bridge. The materials used for the real bridge body are naturally more precious.

"The black cloud wood is used as the frame, filled with cloud rare earth, plus other rare materials, coupled with the special refining method of the Tiangong school, no wonder the bridge does not need any support in the center, they should add a few more chains to the bridge , or the bridge will float away by itself!" Just made a fortune, Mo He felt that he was out of poverty, but when he saw the construction materials used for this cross-river bridge, Mo He realized that he and the Tiangong school In comparison, he was still poor like a beggar, and he immediately complained with some evil taste in his heart.

For a bridge made of such materials, the bridge heads and tails on both sides are probably not used to support the bridge at all. In addition to making it easier for people to board the bridge, the biggest role of the bridge heads and tails on both sides should be to stabilize the bridge. Bridge, don't let this bridge fly away.

Previously, Mo He's impression of the Tiangong School had always been the four characters of ingenious workmanship. Now, after seeing this cross-river bridge, Mo He has a new impression of them, they are inhumane!

"I hope that the two little guys, Mo Qing and Mo Liu, will never join the Tiangong school, otherwise...!"
