06 Skywrath Peak

On his back, there was a faint golden light wandering under his skin, and the shape looked like a dragon.

I couldn't help but stand up, walked to him, and looked at the golden light carefully.

That's right, it's a dragon! "How come you have this?" I couldn't help asking.

He quickly turned around and asked me, "Did you see it?"

I nodded.

He held my hand excitedly, his eyes wet, and his voice trembled, "It's been fifty years, and someone finally saw it! The sky has eyes, and the sky has eyes! Our Gao family is saved..."

"Old man, don't be excited," I looked at him, "What's going on here? Why do you have this?"

He wiped his tears, put on his clothes, and clasped his fists at me, "Young Master, sit down, I'll tell you slowly."

"Okay", I sat down beside him, "You said."

Mr. Gao calmed down, cleared his throat, and said, "This matter starts with my adventure fifty years ago..."

He looked at me, "That year, I met a god in Kunlun Mountain."

"God?" My heart moved, "What kind of god?"

"It's a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old," he said, "She doesn't look like an ancient person, but she is not a person of that era. How can she say... She looks more like a person of this era. She has long hair, three very beautiful earrings on her left ear, white sweater on her upper body, jeans on her lower body, and long leather boots on her feet. She looks very beautiful girl."

I made up for the picture. According to his description, it was indeed not like the dress from fifty years ago, but more like a modern person.

"How do you know she is a god?" I asked.

"I was twenty-two years old that year and was doing scientific research in Kunlun Mountain," he said, "I remember that it was the fifth day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. We received an order from our superiors to go into the mountain to conduct a summit investigation on Kunlun Tiannu Peak. Before that, we conducted a total of eleven inspections on Tiannu Peak, but we never reached the top. If the summit investigation goes well, the inspection will end smoothly. When we entered the mountain that day, the weather was good, but at the foot of the mountain, we met an old local Tibetan. He heard that we were going up the mountain, so he quickly stopped us."

"Why are you stopping?" I asked.

"Then Lao Zang said that there is a dragon god on Tiannu Peak, and it will anger the gods after going up," he said, "We know that there are often thunderstorms on Tiannu Peak, and think that it is caused by climate, so we didn't take Lao Zang seriously."

"What about it later?" I asked.

"Later we entered the mountain and everything started to go well," he said, "But just as we were about to reach the top, a strong wind suddenly blew without warning, and then it turned into a blizzard. We were neither up nor down, and the radio still failed. Fortunately, we found a shelter place, and a dozen people were curled up there, waiting for the wind and snow to stop before we could reach the top."

"The blizzard lasted for two days and two nights, blocking the entire Tiannu Peak. On the afternoon of the third day, the wind and snow stopped and the radio resumed. We received the order from our superiors to terminate the mission and quickly return to the camp. So our captain took us down the mountain and prepared to return along the same route." He paused and sighed, "What happened on the way back."

"What's wrong?" I looked at him.

"We encountered an avalanche," he said, "Without warning, the avalanche happened. All fifteen people were buried in the snow. I was seriously injured. After struggling in the snow for a while, I lost consciousness."

He looked at me, "I thought I was dead, but I was not dead. Later, when I woke up again, it was already midnight. I found that I had returned to the sheltered place. Not only me, but the rest of our team were there, as if an avalanche didn't happen at all, I had a dream."

"Is it a dream?" I asked.

"Of course not," he shook his head. "Each of us suffered a serious injury. We were covered in snow, like we were just taken out of the snow. After I woke up, I found that my injury had healed because I remember very clearly that I had a head injury, and my legs hit a stone, and it broke. But after I woke up, I could stand up and my head didn't hurt anymore."

"What happened later?" I asked.

"Fifteen people, only I woke up, and the others were in a coma," he said. "After I got up, I wanted to wake them up, but they didn't move. I tried to contact the camp again and found that the radio had failed again. I was very scared and even a little desperate, even doubting whether we were dead and our souls were trapped there. Then, at this moment, I suddenly heard two people talking on the top of the mountain. The sound was very small, intermittent, and I couldn't hear it clearly. After hearing the sound, I suddenly plucked up a courage. So I took the pickaxe and prepared to go to the top of the mountain to see what was going on."

I nodded and signaled him to continue.

"Our sheltered place is only more than a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain," he said, "It took me half an hour to go up, and then I saw the girl. She stood in the snow on the top of the mountain, looking up at the sky, as if observing something, but her right hand was bleeding. Seeing me coming up, she was a little puzzled and asked me, "If you don't stay well, why are you doing up there?"

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I was so stupid at that time that I didn't know what to say," he smiled helplessly, "Think of it, the temperature on the top of the mountain is nearly minus 30 degrees Celsius. She was so thin, but she had no intention of being cold at all. I was stunned for a while, and knelt down to her and asked her, are you a god?"

"What did she say?" I asked.

"She didn't answer me and asked me if I could do her a favor?" he said, "I asked her what she could do. She pointed to a piece of ice in the middle of the mountaintop and said, "You go over and put your hand on the ice."

"What kind of ice?" I asked.

"The ice is very big, about ten meters high and more than thirty meters wide, like a huge crystal stone," he said, "After the girl finished speaking, I walked under the ice, looked carefully, and found that there seemed to be a figure inside, and there was a slender blood mark on the ice."

"Bloody Handprint?" I felt aroused in my heart, "Is that girl's?" "It should be," he said, "I saw the girl's hand dripping blood, and wanted to ask her, but I didn't dare to ask. Seeing that I didn't move, the girl said, "It would be very painful. If you don't want to force you, I asked her, did you save us just now?"

"What did she say?" I asked.

"She nodded," he said, "When she went up the mountain, she saw us buried in the snow, so she rescued us. I asked her again, who are you? Are you a god? The girl still won't answer me."

He paused, "Later, I put my hand on the piece of ice, and then I felt like I was pierced by an ice needle, which was extremely painful. In just a few seconds, I vomited blood, and the blood was spit on the ice, and then I was bounced out more than ten meters away by a force and fell to the girl's feet."

"Oh..." I nodded and couldn't help swallowing.

He looked at me and smiled helplessly, "Young Master, do you think I'm talking nonsense and making up stories to deceive you?"

"No", I smiled faintly, "You keep going."

He was silent for a while and sighed, "Young Master, actually... I have never said these words to anyone. I have said them now. If you can't save me, I won't live long..."

"If you don't have confidence in me, then you don't have to continue talking," I said.

"No!" He quickly said, "I believe in you! Because the girl said that in fifty years, whoever can see what is on my back is the one who can help me. In fifty years, I have let countless Feng Shui masters look at my back, even your grandfather, Mr. Wu Si, but... only you can see it! So, I absolutely believe in you!"

"You asked my grandpa to see it?" I frowned, "He didn't see it?"

"That was twenty years ago. I went to Nanhe Town, Cangzhou and asked the Fourth Master to make a fortune for me." He said, "The Fourth Master's fortune is very powerful. He said that most people cannot see the Feng Shui of my family. They are still rich and noble now, but in twenty years, they will face the problem of a limit. After hearing this, I admired it very much, so I took off my clothes and asked him to look at my back."

"What then?" I asked.

He smiled awkwardly, "The Fourth Master looked at me and said the weather was cold, so you might as well put it on, and then, I had to put it on..."

"The weather is cold..." I smiled knowingly, "I understand..."

"Do you understand?" His eyes lit up, "Is the Fourth Master meaning something else?"

"Nothing", I smiled slightly, "You keep talking."
