Early in the morning, sunlight filtered through a layer of pale white clouds onto the land. There was a very strange looking mountain in Yin Zhou of the Li dynasty, located in the southwest of Penglai Region.
It was called Turtle Back Mountain. How did it come by this name?
The reason being it resembled a turtle shell.
The resemblance was remarkable.
The mountain looked like a piece of smooth green black jade. There was no vegetation growing on it, and it was studded with all kinds of odd markings, which looked like the pattern on the shell of a turtle.
Turtle Back Mountain was about ten thousand feet long and nestled on top of a huge peak.
It was true that the mountain lay on a huge peak. The huge peak reached tens of thousands of feet above the sky and was the highest peak in the southwest of the Li dynasty. When viewed from a distance, Turtle Back Mountain with its high peak resembled a huge mushroom.
