Chapter 172 Going Up the Mountain (Part 1)

Zheng Quchi didn't believe it, but since the other person had said they weren't short of money, she couldn't force them to admit it.

"That……"

Aside from money, she couldn't think of anything else that could persuade him in the short term.

He said, "Why don't you wait until you've figured out what I want before you come and discuss the terms with me? It's getting late, and we should set off for Yongfeng Mountain."

——

The Jichun Craftsmen's Guild is held in Yongchun of Julu Kingdom, specifically on Yongfeng Mountain in Yongchun.

Speaking of Yongfeng Mountain, there is a particularly famous temple there called Wujue Temple.

It is famous for its danger. If believers want to go up the mountain to worship and pray to Buddha at Wujue Temple, they simply cannot get there without going through hardships and dangers.

Because there is a mountain peak on Yongfeng Mountain that is 100 meters high, with cliffs on all sides, and can only be climbed by climbing iron chains, and Wujue Temple happens to be built on the top of this mountain.

When they first heard that the Jichun Craftsmen's Festival would be held on the mountaintop, everyone was a little hesitant...

"There are no roads or paths here, how are we going to transport our dragon-drawn carriage up here?"

"If we use iron chains to lift it, we risk it will collide with the cliff rocks and damage the vehicle. But how can we lift it by hand?"

At this moment, Zheng Quchi came up with an idea: "This is not difficult. We can first use a wooden frame to protect its body, and then wrap the outer layer with cotton. In this way, even if it is hit by a collision, the inside will not be easily damaged. However, with the addition of gravity and resistance, it will take about twenty people to pull the car together."

“We have enough manpower, so let’s do it this way.”

Yongfeng Mountain is a famous scenic spot in the vicinity, and roads have been paved. There are many carriages coming and going, all of which are dignitaries from Yongchun City who are going out for spring outings. In addition, the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild is being held, which has attracted many more people from other places.

However, once they reach the Changfenglin area, unauthorized personnel will be turned away.

They could only pass through smoothly if they had an invitation from the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild.

So the people who traveled with Zheng Quchi and his group next were all extraordinary. There were tribes dressed in strange clothes, giants covered in tools, and a wooden mechanical sparrow with flapping wings on its shoulder...

"I wonder what criteria the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild uses to select craftsmen for the competition?" Zheng Quchi asked curiously.

Mu Gaoyi said, "See those people? They all demonstrated their craftsmanship to the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild in advance. Only after they received approval were they sent invitations."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi was surprised to learn about the process and asked them, "What did we demonstrate to receive an invitation from the Jichun Craftsmen's Association?"

"There shouldn't be anything there, right?" Shi Hetong recalled.
