Chapter 6 Digging For Beauty
There was continuous snow in Kunlun Mountain, and Jiang Yize was walking slowly in the snow.
Here, he has to respect nature. If the superpower moves too much and causes an avalanche, the movement will be too big.
He walked upward while recalling all the memories he had with his father.
The icy wind blew in front of Jiang Yize, and the biting cold wind seemed to be blocked by an invisible windshield.
Jiang Yize did not lose body temperature, nor did he suffer from snow blindness. This was the effect of Fire Jue and Qiongqi's Eye.
When they reached a high mountain, Jiang Yize couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally reached the mountainside of Kunlun Mountain, and the terrain gradually slowed down.
Just when Jiang Yize looked up into the distance, he actually saw a few red dots in the distance.
That's the function of the Fire Jue. The red dot in the distance means that the temperature is higher than 0℃.
Is it possible that there are still people here?
Jiang Yize was a little confused and approached the red dots.
After advancing a few hundred meters, the red dots enlarged and turned into several tents.
There were also melodious songs, applause, and cheers coming from the tent, making it very lively.
Jiang Yize thought about how he should approach the other party.
Let's say it's tourism. Who's going to travel to the snowy mountains during the Chinese New Year? His brain must have been kicked by a donkey.
Let’s not say it’s a trip. You can’t say I’m here to see my father, right?
well?
It seems like this is a good reason!
Jiang Yize added two pieces of clothing to himself and added a few strokes with a brush. It looked like his face had developed frostbite from being frozen in the snow and wind.
Then, Jiang Yize shouted loudly:
"Dad...Dad! Where are you!"
In the wind and snow, Jiang Yize's voice should not have been heard clearly, but with the blessing of Fengzi Jue, this weak voice finally passed through the tent and entered the tent.
Several tents slowly became quiet at first, and then, people began to come out of each tent one after another.
These tents are set up behind mountains that can block the wind and are well concealed.
They didn't know that Jiang Yize had discovered them.
On the contrary, they watched Jiang Yize's "stumbling and difficult steps" along the way, shouting with a hint of despair:
"Dad, where are you?! Don't scare me, New Year's Eve!"
Jiang Yize did not go straight to the tent. Instead, he missed the tent at an angle of 30 degrees.
Ahead is a land of continuous snow, but the terrain is steep and you may fall if you are not careful.
Jiang Yize was approaching this area little by little, just when he felt a little regretful.
A voice sounded in the wilderness:
"The one in front, don't go forward!"
Jiang Yize paused for a moment and turned around "with a little surprise"...
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yize got into the tent, drank the boiled kumiss, and told a story with runny nose and tears about "my father ran away from home unsatisfactorily in middle age".
Putting aside the rationality of this story, everyone in the tent actually believed Jiang Yize's words.
They didn't think anything of it at first, but after staying in the same tent with this young man, they felt more and more friendly and approachable.
In addition, it is already the Chinese Spring Festival, how can a young child be allowed to run around in the snowy mountains?
As a result, Jiang Yize quickly integrated into the lively atmosphere in the tent.
And Jiang Yize also knew the reason why this group of people were still on the snowy mountain during the New Year.
They are jade diggers.
Kunlun is not only a snow mountain, but also a jade mountain.
The jade from Kunlun Mountain is delicate, moist, highly transparent, hard, and has good oiliness.
The jade diggers seemed to trust Jiang Yize so much that they even took out the ore they dug for Jiang Yize to distinguish.
They told Jiang Yize that there are three types of Kunlun jade, including white jade, gray jade and sapphire.
The family collects jade from the foot of Kunlun Mountain every year, and all three kinds of jade can be sold at high prices.
Jiang Yize was playing with a piece of sapphire in his hand and couldn't help but wonder:
"Brothers, since you can get a pretty high price by selling jade, why do you go out to dig for jade during the Chinese New Year? You have to take a break."
A jade digger named Chen Ke filled Jiang Yize with koumiss and said with a smile:
"Because after the Chinese New Year, we won't be able to mine jade for a long time, so we have to seize this time."
Jiang Yize was puzzled:
"After the New Year, isn't it spring? The weather has gotten better, so it should be better to dig jade."
Chen Ke nodded:
"This is the truth, but Kunlun Mountain does not follow this principle.
The goddess of Kunlun Mountain wakes up every spring. During this time, we are not allowed to go up the mountain. "
Jiang Yize's heart thumped.
goddess? !
ah? !
This is? !
Looking at Jiang Yize's face, everyone laughed.
Chen Ke patted Jiang Yize on the shoulder and said:
"You are young, and my brother's time on this snowy mountain is much longer than your spring night.
We have never seen the goddess.
But half a month after the New Year every year, this snow-capped mountain will begin to be shrouded in fog.
Don't look at the dangers of snow blindness, this fog is even more dangerous.
Some people do not believe in evil and break into the fog and never come out again.
People of the older generation say that the mist is caused by the goddess taking a bath, and anyone who breaks into the mist will be punished by the power of the goddess.
So, in ten days and a half, we will be going down the mountain. "
Speaking of this, Chen Ke said earnestly:
"Little brother, if you still want to find your father, remember that you have to return in five days.
Otherwise, you won't be able to get down the mountain. "
