Chapter 57 Carrying the Mountain!
"Report!"
"The mountain gods of Taihang and Wangwu have abandoned their posts, and mortals are moving the mountains!"
When the gods on duty in Heaven heard the reports from the Wind-Following Ear and Thousand-Mile Eye, they were rather dismissive: "Mortals moving mountains? Ignore them!"
The Eye of a Thousand Miles and the Ear of a Thousand Winds exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You should go and take a look."
"Um?"
The deity on duty immediately set off on auspicious clouds and arrived at the Taihang and Wangwu Mountains.
He descended from the clouds and observed carefully, and indeed found something unusual.
"The two mountain gods have indeed neglected their duties and need to be investigated."
"As for these mortals... heh, they certainly have perseverance!"
"That's really interesting!"
Having said this, the deity on duty rode auspicious clouds back to the Heavenly Court to report to the Jade Emperor.

On the mountainside of Taihang, Yu Gong held a pickaxe and chopped down hard, sending up chunks of rock flying.
The children behind him picked up stones one by one, put them in baskets on their backs, and carried them down the mountain little by little.
The women in the family would go up the mountain every day to deliver meals.
The wise old man finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He arrived at the mountain, patted Yu Gong on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be foolish!"
Yu Gong ignored the wise old man and just kept chiseling at the mountain.
The wise old man grew even angrier: "It's fine if you're just being foolish yourself, but why make things difficult for these children? Look at them!"
When Yu Gong turned around, he indeed saw a heartbreaking scene.
The four-year-old grandson, still a little unsteady on his feet, had already come to the mountains to move stones for himself.
The little snotty-nosed child couldn't move the big rocks, but he didn't slack off; he only chose the fallen leaves and pebbles.
The little boy carried things little by little, occasionally wiping his nose with fallen leaves before continuing his work.
The rest of their children and grandchildren were mostly the same.
Regardless of age, none of them slacked off.
Yu Gong sighed heavily and said, "Of course I know, but these two mountains, Taihang and Wangwu, are really in the way. If we don't do this, our descendants will have no good days."
"you!"
The wise old man glared at the foolish old man, but didn't know what to say.
He walked quickly to the four-year-old child, picked him up, and carried him down the mountain: "Come with Grandpa, and you'll get candy!"
"Eat candy, eat candy~"
How could a four-year-old understand these principles?
When he saw that the visitor was his grandfather's good friend and heard that there was candy to eat, he was naturally overjoyed.
After hesitating for a while, Yu Gong ultimately did not stop them.
He just kept bending over and chiseling stones.
As time passed, Yu Gong and his family had moved out quite a few stones.
Unfortunately, the Taihang and Wangwu Mountains still tower into the clouds, appearing unchanged.
Yu Gong remained steadfast in his resolve, and his children fully supported their father's decision.
However, recently, the mountain god has started to cause them trouble.
Yu Gong also consulted with the Wise Old Man and obtained a result that put his mind at ease.
"The mountain god doesn't dare to directly obstruct us; he can only resort to some underhanded tactics. There's nothing to fear."
"The mountain gods act this way because what we are doing threatens them."
"Keep it up!"
Yu Gong and his family became even more determined to dig into the mountain, and the commotion caused by the mountain god grew louder and louder.
On this day, the mountain range began to tremble violently again.
Yu Gong led the children to hide on the flat ground and waited quietly.
The tremor was much smaller than expected, and things returned to normal very quickly.
Yu Gong didn't think much of it and just continued moving the mountain.
Little did he know that the mountain god had already been taken away by Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.
Several days later, while sleeping at night, Yu Gong suddenly dreamed of a celestial palace.
The palace radiated thousands of golden rays and auspicious energy.
There was also a deity sitting high in the clouds, looking down at Yu Gong.
"It is truly admirable that a mere mortal could possess the ambition to move mountains."
"I will grant your wish."
Yu Gong immediately woke up and also woke up his children.
At the same time, the earth began to tremble violently.
Yu Gong led his children to look towards Taihang and Wangwu Mountains, and they were surprised to see two giants, each a thousand feet tall, flying down from the sky.
The two giants stood firmly on the ground, their arms encircling the Taihang and Wangwu Mountains, and pulled with all their might!
Crack!
Two towering mountains rose from the ground, carried on the shoulders of two mighty gods, and soared away on the clouds.
Before Yu Gong, there were no more mountains blocking the way, but instead a vast plain.
Moreover, under the divine power, this land quickly turned green.
Countless flowers, grasses, and green plants sprang up from the ground, and natural waterways appeared out of nowhere.
The river flows gently and ceaselessly.
The surrounding land also turned into fertile soil, enough to support hundreds or thousands of ordinary people.
At this moment, Yu Gong wept with joy, and his children and grandchildren embraced each other and cheered.
The wise old man led his family to Yu Gong's house to thank him.
The people in the surrounding villages no longer dared to laugh at Yu Gong, but instead built a shrine for him.
Of course, the shrine also enshrines various gods and deities.
Thus, the story of Yu Gong moving the mountain comes to an end.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for completing [The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain] and obtaining the supernatural power [Carrying the Mountain] (purple)]
Carrying a mountain: Possessing the strength of a mountain, one can carry a mountain on one's back and move forward.
Above the clouds, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen witnessed the entire process of Yu Gong moving the mountain.
Bai Suzhen exclaimed in admiration: "Just as you said, there really were gods who moved the two mountains away."
Xu Xian, with his arm around Bai Suzhen, said with a smile, "Have you been waiting impatiently?"
"It's only been three months~ I've been cultivating all alone for eighteen hundred years."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen descended from the clouds and found their small boat.
"We've been waiting here for three months, which has somewhat delayed our cultivation."
Xu Xian muttered something and stepped into the boat.
Bai Suzhen blushed and whispered, "My lord hasn't been delayed at all. For the past three months, we've been in the clouds, in the mountains, under the moon..."
Hehe~
Having acquired the purple divine power, Xu Xian spent three months living like immortals with Bai Suzhen, and finally it was time to embark on a new journey.
Next, we'll arrive at Liangjie Mountain.
Xu Xian calculated the time; by rowing alone, it would take about four more months to reach the destination.
Moreover, there weren't any powerful monsters above level 20 along the way, so there was no need to waste time on them.
"My lady, shall we fly there?"
"I'll do as you say, my lord!"
Bai Suzhen was unaware that Xu Xian had already obtained the blue-level cloud-riding supernatural power, so she used her magic to support Xu Xian.
The two headed west together.
High above the clouds, Xu Xian was quite unruly.
After flying for less than half a day, Bai Suzhen blushed and appeared ready to be picked.
Xu Xian then reached out and grabbed a cloud, creating an independent space within the small space of his palm.
The two lay on the clouds, enjoying themselves.
……
Several days later, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen successfully arrived at Liangjie Mountain.
A thousand years later, it was here that Tang Sanzang rescued Monkey King.
But now, there is no Five Finger Mountain here.
Of course, there were no figures like Liu Boqin, Xiong Shanjun, or General Yin.
"From here, I will begin to lay the groundwork for my Journey to the West."
"Next, we'll slay demons and monsters to improve our cultivation!"
