The daylight was dim, and the morning mist hung heavy.
Among the mountain ridges, piles of rocks were stacked high, covered in vines and green grass, while the steep cliffs on either side were densely vegetated, resembling emerald barriers.
Among the jagged rocks, one could faintly discern an ancient path, sadly desolate and seemingly buried by the passage of time.
The ancient path of Yelang was not singular, and its origins were numerous.
Some were carved by the troops Emperor Wu of Han dispatched to intimidate the Kingdom of Dongyue.
Some were ordered by Emperor Shi to construct the Bo road, also known as the Yelang road.
The one in Dangyang, however, was even more ancient, pre-dating the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Ancient people from Ba Chu could travel this route by water to reach the sea or head towards Shu, traveling from Dian State to Ancient India.
Once, it had been a flourishing trade route.
