Chapter 187: Shocked by the Wonderland

"What are you looking at?" Seeing that Zuo Dengfeng had been looking at the west side, Yu Fu asked.

"I used to count the snow-capped mountains on the west side and found that there were thirteen of them." Zuo Dengfeng turned his head and replied.

"Thirteen." Yufu looked puzzled.

"Yes, it may have something to do with Thirteen's identity." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and said, before this, Zuo Dengfeng had always thought that the name of the thirteen was based on the twelve places, but now it seems that this may not be the case, the name of the thirteen may be related to the thirteen snow-capped mountains, and it may be the name of the place.

"Let's go, there is a village ahead, let's inquire about the situation." Yufu said.

Zuo Dengfeng nodded, the two got up and walked again, there was a small village in the flat area ten miles away in the north, that was the destination of the two, the two were currently located at the junction of Yunnan and Tibetan provinces, and it was no longer an inaccessible area.

After a while, the two came to the outskirts of the village, which is a small village, dozens of houses are wooden houses, and the villagers are dressed in different costumes, some are Han and some are Tibetan, and the different clothes indicate that the people living here belong to different ethnic groups.

"Are you two going to the Thirteenth Prince Peak, I can be your guide." Just as the two of them stopped at the entrance of the village to look at it, a thin man in his fifties sitting at the entrance of the village walked over, this guy was dressed in a shabby cloth clothes, with a scruffy beard, a rosacea nose, and his right leg was mopping the floor when he walked, and he was lame.

"You're Han." Zuo Dengfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and he had a good impression of the lame.

"Yes, are you going to the Thirteenth Prince Peak?" The lame man saw Zuo Dengfeng's face happy, and hurriedly asked.

"Are the thirteen princes peaks you are talking about the thirteen snow-capped mountains in the west?" Zuo Dengfeng asked.

"Yes, I can take you there, just ten oceans." The cripple lifted his sleeve and wiped his nose.

"There's a lot of people going to that area." Zuo Dengfeng frowned suddenly, in his imagination, the snow-capped mountains on the west side were barren places that were inaccessible to people, and he never thought that there would be people going there from time to time, otherwise there would be no professional guides.

"It's not very often, there are occasional ones, they all come to pick snow ginseng, and some of them are looking for immortals, and there are immortals in the Thirteenth Prince Peak." The lame man said it seriously.

"Immortals, do you think the two of us look like stupid people?" Zuo Dengfeng snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I didn't lie to you, I'm going to lie to you, and you're going to shoot me to death." The cripple stretched out his finger like a chicken claw and pointed at the machine gun that Zuo Dengfeng was holding in his hand.

"Did those people find the immortals?" Jade Whisk interjected.

"As long as you can climb to the top of the fifth snow-capped mountain, you can meet immortals, and if you are lucky, you can even pick snow ginseng." The lame man glared and spoke.

Since the moment this cripple appeared, Zuo Dengfeng has been looking at him, this person is obviously very depressed, and he is addicted to alcohol, this kind of person may lie very much, but according to his expression, he doesn't seem to be lying, but not lying does not mean that what he said is true, it may also be that he himself is wrong.

"There is no tavern in the village, I invite you to drink." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and said, In an unfamiliar environment, it is best for someone to explain some local conditions.

The lame man immediately lit up when he heard the drink, bent down in a panic and thanked him, and then limped and led the two to a simple tavern in the village, saying that the tavern was actually a house on the street, and the tavern was run by an old Han man, who was older than the lame, and was estimated to be more than seventy years old, and it was his wife who started the work, the tavern only had two tables, not even the counter, and there was a row of large vat on the west side of the house, there were seven or eight mouths, and there were lids on the tank, and the wine was stored inside, and the smell of wine alone knew that it was inferior and high-quality liquor. There is more than strong and not enough mellow.

When the old couple saw the lame man enter the store, they immediately showed a look of helplessness and pity, which shows that this lame man may usually drink on credit, and when they saw Zuo Dengfeng and Yufu following behind the lame, the old couple hurriedly came over to greet them, almost every household here has a bow and arrow shotgun, and they did not show fear of Zuo Dengfeng holding a machine gun.

This tavern is a veritable tavern, mainly selling wine, the climate here is cold, whether it is the Han people or the Tibetans, all have the habit of drinking, the old couple sells wine goods, there are not many wine and dishes in the tavern, Zuo Dengfeng asked for a plate of beef for the lame, and then ordered a few vegetables, and the wine asked for three catties.

"Lady, how much he owes you for drinks." Zuo Dengfeng stopped the old woman who served the food.

"There are four pieces, the lame man is good at leading the way into the mountain, you hired him right." The old woman wiped her hands in an apron.

"This is for you, draw the account for him, and count the rest for you." Zuo Dengfeng took out a gold bar from his bosom and handed it to the old woman, people will change, Zuo Dengfeng has also changed, three years ago he could break a penny in half to spend, and now he is generous and spends money like dirt.

The old woman was shocked when she saw this, turned her head to look at the old man who was scooping wine, the old man came over with a wine jug, took the gold bar and thanked him repeatedly, and then beckoned his wife to make cakes for the two, Zuo Dengfeng knew that Yufu was not used to eating pasta, so he asked for rice for him, Zuo Dengfeng's careful actions in exchange for Yufu's tender glance.

"I want to know all the things about the Thirteen Prince Peaks, we don't need you to lead the way and tell everything you know." Zuo Dengfeng took out a gold bar from his arms again and put it on the table, this is a big gold bar of ten taels, coercion and temptation, Zuo Dengfeng generally likes to use the latter.

The lame man had already grabbed the jug at this moment, and when he saw the gold bar, his eyes immediately lit up, and he put down the jug and came to grab the gold bar.

"I'll give you half first." Seeing this, Yu Fu grabbed the gold bar in the air, and the thumb and index finger of his left hand pinched off the gold bar with a slight force, and threw half of it to the lame man.

Seeing this, the lame man did not show a look of fear, which Zuo Dengfeng was very satisfied with, if the lame man was a liar, he would be afraid after seeing the strength of the jade whisk, he was not afraid, it means that he knew something real, greed is the original surname of people, and it is normal for a lame person to be greedy.

"Whatever you want to know, I know everything." The lame man took the gold bar and bit it, the gold was soft, and it was very easy to distinguish it.

"The situation of the Thirteenth Prince Peak, we only listen to the truth, say whatever you know, don't exaggerate or talk nonsense, if there is a wrong sentence, you can't take this gold bar." Zuo Dengfeng took the half of the gold bar from the jade whisk and threw it to the lame.

"The Thirteen Prince Peaks are the thirteen snow-capped mountains, and I have seen immortals there." The lame man confidently took the gold bar into his arms.

"When is it?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked, could it be that the original owner of the thirteenth is still alive.

"Thirty years ago, I went into the mountains to dig and saw it." The lame man couldn't wait to pick up the wine jug, and the three catties of liquor were divided into three wine jugs, and the lame man carried a pot by himself.

"Say it as it is, don't ramble." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and spoke.

Seeing Zuo Dengfeng's displeasure, the lame man quickly poured a few sips of liquor, and told the beginning and end of the immortal he saw at the Thirteenth Prince Peak thirty years ago.

Thirty years ago, the lame man was less than twenty years old, at that time he was not lame, there is a special snow ginseng in the thirteen princes peak area, the snow participants are the same length, but it grows very slowly, ten years out of the double leaves, as we all know, the role of ginseng is to greatly replenish qi and blood, the role of snow ginseng is also the same as ginseng, the difference is that the five elements of snow ginseng pharmacology is not the soil in the soil, but the water in the soil, so it does not have the heat of ginseng, suitable for people who are not sick, it is a great tonic, the price is equivalent to gold, the lame is an orphan, the family is poor and has no wealth, When he reached the age of talking about marriage, he had a crush but didn't have the money to hire a wife, so the young cripple entered the area of the Thirteenth Prince Peak alone, trying to try his luck.

The reason why there is no companion is because it is a very dangerous job to go into the mountain to collect ginseng, the thirteen princes are extremely steep, the precious and rare snow ginseng mainly grows on the top of the snow mountain, the people who go into the mountain to pick ginseng must climb the snow mountain if they want to find the snow ginseng, but the snow mountain is covered with snow all year round, the temperature is extremely low, and the mountain wall is slippery and does not leave hands, so the people who go into the mountain to collect ginseng are in vain or die in the snow mountain, only a very small number of people pick the snow, and the snow ginseng is enough for this life. The most important thing is that no matter whether the snow ginseng is picked or not, as long as you climb those snow-capped mountains, people's hands and feet will be severely frostbitten, and there is no way to make a second attempt.

The lame man was young and vigorous, he did not hesitate to risk his life for the woman he loved, he quietly entered the mountain with dry food on his back, and the lame man was fearless driven by love, and walked more than 400 miles under the snow-capped mountain in seven days, and selected the fifth snow-capped mountain, the reason why he chose this one is because this snow-capped mountain is very high and steep, and the surname of the snow ginseng may be very large.

The lame man drank a lot of liquor at the foot of the mountain, and then began to climb the mountain, the lame man was very lucky, and picked a few snow lotuses halfway, and the snow lotus is also a very valuable herb, with a lot of effects, but the biggest effect is to treat the male surname and the woman's menstrual irregularity, the lame man weighed it after picking the snow lotus, and felt that these things were not enough to make up the dowry, so he climbed up again, the steeper the mountain climbed, the lower the temperature, the more difficult it was to breathe, and the lame man wanted to retreat every moment, but he persevered to the end, With his enthusiasm and agility, he finally reached the top of the fifth snow-capped mountain, where he found two snow ginseng, which made the lame man ecstatic, and at that moment the wind and snow began to fall in the mountain, and the lame man hid in a low cave on the top of the mountain, where he saw the immortal sitting cross-legged.

"What's in the cave." Zuo Dengfeng asked.

"What do immortals look like?" At the same time, Yufu also asked.

"There's nothing in the cave, and the immortal is dressed like you, a pretty old male fairy, and he has a white-haired broom in his hand." The cripple stretched out his hand and pointed to the dust in the jade whisk.

"Have you talked to him?" Zuo Dengfeng asked.

"I spoke to him, but he didn't pay attention to me, and when I saw that he had been sitting still, I reached out and pushed him, and I didn't expect my arm to go through his body." The lame man pours wine in a pot.

"You mean he's just a shadow." Zuo Dengfeng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's like a shadow, but he's not a shadow, he's just like a real person, not blurry at all." The cripple shook his head repeatedly.

"What happened?" Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand to take the vegetables brought by the proprietress .

"Later, when the wind and snow stopped, I went down the mountain, and my hands and feet were numb at that time...... "The lame man said that he was choked with tears when he said this, Zuo Dengfeng and Yufu were puzzled when they saw this, and the proprietress sighed and took the conversation, the lame man broke his leg when he went down the mountain, and dragged his short legs in the mountains for more than half a month before returning to the village, and after coming back, he went to the woman's house, but he didn't expect the woman to see that he was seriously disabled, and he saw that he was interested in money, so he took the snow ginseng snow lotus and left the family overnight, and when the lame man woke up, there was no one left.

Zuo Dengfeng and Yufu both shook their heads and smiled bitterly when they heard this, everyone in the world thinks they are noble, and they often say that they should give more to others and give more to others, but in fact, no one can do it at all, let alone give more, a lot of people are considered very good.
