Chapter 6667: Magical Iron Chain
That day, there were many boatmen on the sea and they saw a strange sight.
There was a glowing horse walking on the waves on the sea, leaving a white trail.
When many people first saw it, they thought they were seeing things. How could a horse run on the sea?
After asking my companions, I was sure that it was not an illusion.
The horse walked on the waves, carrying a mysterious rider, floating like an immortal.
There are also countless big fish swimming behind the horse, jumping out of the water from time to time.
Many boatmen firmly believed that the horse was actually a dragon horse and the rider was the god of the sea.
The sea god rides a dragon horse, patrols the ocean and punishes those thieves who do evil.
Later, there was a rumor that a cargo ship was intercepted by pirates, but was saved by a mysterious immortal.
With a wave of his hand, the immortal turned the pirates into hideous monsters and resurrected a dying man with a spell.
It is said that monsters roam the seabed, and whenever they encounter other pirates, a ghost ship covered with algae and shells will appear.
After killing all the pirates, the monster will dive back into the sea, and no trace of it can be found.
All of the above things are related to the sea god riding on the waves.
Someone built a temple of the sea king by the sea, and the statue enshrined inside was a handsome immortal riding a horse.
For the next three hundred years, it has been a popular temple.
All of the above is a story for later.
Tang Zhen rode his horse across the waves, which was much faster than riding a boat.
After being transformed by Tang Zhen, the horse he rode became extraordinary and had the ability to control water and fire.
This ordinary livestock, after getting this opportunity, will definitely have the chance to become a great monster.
Things like opportunities sometimes have nothing to do with hard work and rely more on luck.
Leaving behind a legend, Tang Zhen continued to move forward.
After going through all these things, and given that Tang Zhen did not try to cover it up, anyone who was interested should already know his movements.
The days ahead should be even more exciting.
Within the Haoyue Realm, there are definitely cultivators trying to cooperate, some cultivators watching coldly, and some cultivators vowing to slay demons and eliminate evil.
For example, the Qiankun Sect and the Sect’s Elders Council are both powerful enemies that cannot be resolved.
Many cultivators believed that the cultivators of Qiankun Sect were killed by evil demons from outer space, leaving no trace of their bodies.
In recent times, there have been more and more similar rumors, making the cultivators of the Haoyue Realm deeply uneasy.
This is not the case. The monks of Qiankun Sect were not killed, but were collectively teleported to an unknown space.
This situation occurs because of the special function of the Guardian Clock.
When a group of monks from the Qiankun Sect were facing a crisis of certain death, the Guardian Bell automatically activated the teleportation function.
Fortunately, there is this life-saving function, otherwise the group of cultivators from the Qiankun Sect would surely end up being reduced to ashes.
The leader of the Qiankun Sect was full of confidence, thinking he had a sure win, but in fact, this was an arrogant act of looking at the world from a narrow perspective.
If the leader of Qiankun Sect knew about Tang Zhen's battle record, that he had killed the divine clones several times, he would never be so arrogant and confident.
When making plans, Tang Zhen will not be used as a stepping stone, but a more prudent approach will be adopted.
Although he failed, his life was not in danger.
Tang Zhen didn't know when it would appear again, and he wouldn't pay too much attention to it.
There is no need to waste more energy and time on such a defeated general. Instead, we should focus our main energy on dealing with the sect's elders council.
After choosing a place to disembark, Tang Zhen continued riding forward. The next stop was called Qingchuan Prefecture.
There is a big river here, with strange rocks all over it, huge waves crashing against the shore, and the water flowing so fast that boats cannot cross.
A hundred years ago, in order to solve the traffic problem, the local people tried every possible way.
The final decision was to build a high-altitude cableway.
It is said that during the construction period, many tasks could not be completed and in the end, they had to ask the immortals for help.
Overnight, an iron chain ran through both sides of the river, and its length had already exceeded a thousand feet.
The weight of a thousand-foot iron chain is extremely astonishing, not to mention hanging it high in the air, which is something that no ordinary person can do.
The local people, grateful for the kindness, built a temple under the iron chain, and incense is constantly burning all day long. It has been nearly two hundred years.
Nowadays, there are still people from both sides of the strait who do not want to take a detour and rely on iron chains to cross the river. Every time they pass by, they will go to the temple to burn a stick of incense.
When Tang Zhen heard about this, he went to take a look at the iron chain.
A new ferry was built a hundred miles away, and fewer and fewer people used the iron chain to cross the river, which also affected the temple's incense.
Tang Zhen came into the temple and found a stone tablet with the name of Iron Lock Immortal inscribed on it.
On the stone table in front, there were some offerings, all of which were wild fruits from the mountains.
In the incense burner, which had not been cleaned for a long time, there were still burnt incense sticks of different materials and thicknesses.
Just when Tang Zhen arrived, a man carrying a package hung a pulley on an iron cable and crossed the river.
He kept pushing forward, hanging in the air to rest when he was tired, and finally reached the other side smoothly.
It is not easy to carry items through this cableway.
It is said that there were special workers on both sides of the river who were responsible for dragging ropes to transport heavy materials and personnel.
The cowhide rope weighs thousands of pounds, and a large number of workers must work together to drag the goods to the platforms on both sides.
Goods are transported in the morning and people are delivered in the afternoon, with strict time limits.
Now that the ferry has been built, more people choose to transport goods by boat rather than taking the time-consuming and laborious cableway.
Moreover, a hundred years have passed, and some people are worried that the cableway will not be able to bear the load and fear that danger will occur during transportation.
The rope pullers and ropes are also nowhere to be found today.
Due to various reasons, the iron chains have gradually been left idle and some parts have become rusty.
Walking out of the temple, Tang Zhen observed the iron chain and found that it was indeed extraordinary.
It should be that they used refining methods to smelt and extract a high-quality iron ore, and finally refined it into a thousand-foot iron chain.
Inside this iron chain, there is a rope woven with hair. I don’t know what material it is made of, but it can make the iron chain more flexible and stronger.
When the hair rope is weaved, it is soaked with grease. The seeping oil prevents the iron chain from rusting due to wind and rain.
Those who worry that the iron chain will break are all ignorant people. Even after another five hundred years, this iron chain will not break.
According to Tang Zhen's analysis, the iron chain could not have been refined by an ordinary cultivator, but must have been made by a high-level cultivator with superb skills.
The iron chain connects the peaks on both sides, which is actually extracting the energy from the mountains and rivers, and also absorbs the incense from the world because of the local people's worship passing by.
It hangs high above the river, just to absorb the mist.
It is a refined metal in itself, and has been refined by earth fire, so it can be said to have all five elements.
This is not an ordinary iron chain, it is clearly the embryo of a magical weapon, quietly placed in the mundane world to be nourished, and taken away at the right opportunity for final refining.
Once successfully refined, it will become a magical weapon of great power.
Tang Zhen had also heard of this method of refining equipment. It was said to be the Red Dust School of Refining Equipment, which was time-consuming and had a very low success rate.
The place where it is placed is crowded with people, so accidents are inevitable. Or other monks may discover the abnormality and destroy and take it away quietly.
The embryo of this magic weapon has long passed the optimal refining period, and the best time to recycle it was half a century ago.
The refiner could not have been unaware of this, and he should not have missed the best time and allowed the precious magic weapon embryo to become scrap iron.
Perhaps due to an accident or force majeure, the iron chain was not collected and refined in time.
It seems that the rumors are not credible. The story of iron chains crossing the river overnight is just a false story deliberately released.
Unless the gods intervened, it would be impossible to forge the iron chain overnight and tie it to the cliffs on both sides of the river.
This is actually a trap to deceive ignorant mortals.
Tang Zhen was not very interested in the truth behind it, as similar schemes were common.
This thing is quite interesting, and Tang Zhen plans to take it and refine it carefully.
The top treasures in the cultivation world will eventually fall into the hands of powerful cultivators rather than being held by low-level cultivators.
If a low-level cultivator possesses it, not only will it be difficult for him to gain any benefits, but he may also bring about fatal disaster.
Don't say it's unfair, this is the law of nature.
