Shen Yi Di Nu Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (神医嫡女) [Book 2]

Xu Tian Cave

In front of them was a stone mountain that was completely bare without a single weed growing from it. Not only was this mountain tall, it was extremely large. Even more importantly, there was practically no slope. It was completely vertical.

Feng Yu Heng leaned her head back to look. Only when she felt a pain in her neck could she see the peak of the mountain. She could not help but sigh: "Towering in the sky, this must be the type of mountain they are talking about."

Xuan Tian Ming explained to her: "This mountain is named Xu Tian, and it is the tallest mountain in the Ping Xu mountain range, and it is also the most dangerous. The mountain is completely vertical, and its peak is in the clouds. The four sides are completely rocky, so there is no possibility of it being climbed.

She curiously asked: "Then what about you? Can you fly over it with qinggong?"

Xuan Tian Ming shook his head, "We are not gods. Even if we use qinggong to soar over mountain, we still need many places to leap from. Moreover, although the mountain we soared over was tall, it is not even a third of the height of Xu Tian Mountain. Not even the most amazing expert in qinggong could soar over a mountain with its peak in the clouds."

"So it was like that." Feng Yu Heng continued to look up, as she began to wonder, "Say, the military camp is not too far from the capital. Normally, such a tall mountain should be visible from the capital. Why have I never noticed it before?"

Xuan Tian Ming pointed forward and told her: "The capital is to the North of the mountain. In that direction, there is a large river. The air there is moist all year round, so the water vapor that rises and directly becomes clouds. This also happens to completely hide the mountain."

Feng Yu Heng heard this and felt that it was mystical. Now that she stood at the foot of the mountain, she was quite shocked. However, even more shocking was what followed, as she saw Qian Li pointed at the large rock mountain and tell her: "County princess, Xu Tian Cave is inside this large mountain."

"Hm?" Feng Yu Heng completely froze. Inside the mountain? Could it be... "Is this mountain hollow?"

Xuan Tian Ming looked at her idiotic expression and could not help but laugh, gently saying: "If you are really curious, you can pick up the mountain from the foundation and stuff it into your sleeve. That way, you can bring it back to slowly investigate."

She repeatedly shook her head, "No way, no way. My sleeves are not that large. This is a mountain!"

While they spoke, Qian Li had already taken a few steps forward. Ahead, there were some soldiers that were standing guard. She looked carefully and noticed that there was something that seemed a little bit different about the mountain; however, she could not tell what exactly was different. She could only push Xuan Tian Ming and follow Qian Li forward.

Finally, when the mountain was within reach, the soldiers standing guard saw them come over and kneeled to salute. Xuan Tian Ming told them to stand and quietly ordered: "Open up the mountain." They then saw tens of soldiers move forward and begin to push the mountain.

Feng Yu Heng facepalmed. She had heard the fable of Yu Gong, who had moved mountains.1 Now, she was witnessing a scene soldiers push a mountain. Thinking about it, she was a little excited!

At this time, she heard a "thunk" sound, as a crack appeared in the mountain around where the soldiers were pushing. The soldiers continued, and the crack became wider and wider, eventually forming a large stone door.

The door that was opened in the mountain was extremely large. Seeing it personally gave her a pretty large shock. In this sort of era without any mechanical production tools, being able to create such a door in a mountain was not easy.
