Chapter 119: A Tribute Before the Summit
Dahan looked at Shen Linfeng's resolute eyes, and his heart couldn't help but move, he had seen this kind of gaze before, and when his father was facing the imperial army, he also had the same firm eyes.
"This person is important to you, isn't he?" the big man said coldly.
Shen Linfeng nodded silently and said: "I used to think that I could only spend my life in a mess, but until her appearance, I rekindled my hope for life, and it was she who gave me the motivation to stick to my ideals." You say, for such a person, what reason do I have not to do my best for her?"
The big man patted Shen Linfeng's shoulder vigorously: "Young age, he knows how to repay his kindness, he deserves to be a good man......!" I still advise you to wait a few days!"
Shen Linfeng asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"Because, today is my father's sacrifice day! In previous years, there would be a violent snowstorm on the Jade Maiden Peak at this time, extremely violent, if you go up the mountain at this moment, it will be dangerous!"
"And when will these snowstorms pass?"
"I'm afraid it will be half a month later!"
Shen Linfeng's face was full of sadness when he heard this, he had been away from Qingzhou for more than a day, and the Northern Cold Bee in the hands of the old man could only last for seven days, if he delayed here for half a month, I am afraid that Zi Yan's corpse would already be cold by then.
"No! I must go up the mountain today!"
The big man sighed, as if he knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless, so he simply didn't say a word, picked up a shovel and walked out.
Shen Linfeng drank a few bowls of stuffy wine alone in the house, and then pushed the door out.
As soon as he stood outside the door, he saw the big man holding a shovel and struggling to shovel a piece of snow under his feet.
Although the surface of the snow is soft, the snow has long since been frozen into solid ice over time.
The big man didn't care about it, he just shoveled down hard. After a long time, a small two-foot square pit had been carved under his feet.
He bent down and pulled out a white cloth bag from it, which he had torn from the middle due to the force.
Shen Linfeng stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help laughing, this cloth bag was actually full of some pigs, sheep, and beef that had already been pickled.
I thought he was going to dig up some treasures, but he didn't expect that what he dug up was just some meat for drinking, and he was inevitably a little disappointed, but the big man regarded them as treasures, carefully picked them up from the ground, and carried them back to the house.
It's noon.
The sky, which had just been under the sun, suddenly became cloudy and the wind was blowing.
Outside the wooden house, in the direction of the Jade Maiden Peak, there is a lacquered mottled table, which is full of all kinds of beef and mutton, and there is a black wooden plaque in the center of the table, which reads crookedly: "Father, the spirit of Wang Cang!"
The big man grabbed two brand-new candles and skillfully inserted them on the wooden table.
"Plop!" he knelt directly on the snow. At the same time, large snowflakes began to fall in the sky.
Shen Linfeng couldn't bear to disturb him, and quietly returned to the house alone.
About the time to touch a cup of tea, Shen Linfeng packed up his clothes, tied his sword behind him, and when he pushed open the door, the big man had already stood up from the ground.
At this moment, the snow was even more violent, Shen Linfeng walked past the big man without saying a word, and when he walked to the wooden table, he knelt directly on the ground with his legs bent.
Seeing this, the big man hurriedly stepped forward to help, and shouted again and again: "Oh brother, this can't be done, it can't be done!"
Shen Linfeng waved his hand at the big man, but his eyes kept staring at the wooden sign in front of him.
"In the lower Shen Linfeng, dare to call you a senior. In ancient times, there was a custom among the people, when the family went out or was in a different place, they must first bow to the gods in order to ask for blessings! Today, after listening to the deeds of the predecessors, I admire you in my heart, and at this moment in the hearts of the younger generations have enshrined you as the gods of this Jade Girl Peak! The younger generations have no evil thoughts here, only to find a hundred Beihan bees to save the lives of others, if the predecessors have a spirit in the sky, I hope to get your protection!"
After speaking, Shen Linfeng solemnly kowtowed three times, and then took out a wine gourd from his waist and spilled the wine on the ground.
Seeing that it was almost over, the big man hurriedly picked him up from the ground.
Shen Linfeng handed the wine gourd to the big man and said: "Brother Wang, this trip is dangerous and unpredictable, this half of the gourd wine will be left for you to drink, but you must not leave a sip for my brother and me, if I come down the mountain within five days, I will definitely make a bowl with you." If I can't come down, please spill this wine in front of my spiritual throne when the time comes!"
Shen Linfeng clenched his fists deeply, and when he got up, he walked towards the depths of the wind and snow without looking back.
The big man held the wine gourd in his hand, at this moment he felt that this gourd seemed to weigh a thousand catties, he looked at Shen Linfeng's gradually disappearing back, and muttered: "I believe that he will definitely bless you!"
Shen Linfeng walked hard all the way against the cold storm and snow, the Jade Girl Peak in front of him was bright and white, making people dare not look directly, Shen Linfeng looked up and tried to see the appearance of the mountain, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see her halfway up the mountain, and the upper part was all hidden in the gray clouds, which looked particularly mysterious.
About half an hour later, Shen Linfeng arrived at the foot of the Jade Girl Peak, in front of him stood a stone tablet about two feet in size, Shen Linfeng dusted off the snow on it, probably because no one cleaned it for too long, the entire stone tablet was frozen by a layer of crystal clear ice, but through the ice you can still vaguely see the three big characters on the stele: Jade Girl Peak!
Shen Linfeng looked left and right, except for this stone stele, there was not a single grass or tree around, the entire mountain peak, and the foot of the mountain were all covered with snow, and he had not even seen a single mountain stone.
Just as Shen Linfeng was still sighing at the majesty and magnificence of the Jade Maiden Peak, suddenly a white shadow flashed quickly beside him.
Although the air was covered with snow, Shen Linfeng still noticed this figure, he tightened the cotton clothes on his body, and then chased after him with all his strength.
He didn't know that he had just taken a few steps, and the figure disappeared into the vast snow, and Shen Linfeng leaned over to check the footprints on the ground.
"Could this be the footprints of the snow fox?"
Shen Linfeng couldn't believe it, because the footprints on the ground were the size of his palm, and it was impossible for an ordinary fox's palm to be so big.
Shen Linfeng became curious, and then continued to walk forward along the footprints.
After walking a few dozen steps, the figure appeared in front of him again, and when it saw Shen Linfeng appear, it immediately pulled out its legs and ran again.
Shen Linfeng was full of doubts: "Could it be that it is waiting for me on purpose, is it trying to take me to a certain place?"
He thought to himself as he continued to walk forward.
