At 8 o'clock the next morning, we arrived at Shi Zhiming's door as promised.

Shi Zhiming got up early, carried an old-fashioned backpack and stood at the door waiting for us.

Shi Zhiming was wearing the work clothes he had when he was in the ghost group more than ten years ago. Although it seemed a bit old-fashioned now, Shi Zhiming's temperament as an archaeological professor suddenly showed up, giving people a very spiritual feeling.

Shi Zhiming stroked the work clothes with an excited expression on his face: "I have never worn this work clothes since I came back from death last time. But I have never been reluctant to throw them away. I will take them out and wash them every year because I always long for that one day, I will wear this work clothes again!"

Speaking of this, Shi Zhiming shook hands with us: "Thank you, it was you who made me fulfill this wish! I will die without regrets during this trip to Kunlun!"

"Shh!" I shook my head at Shi Zhiming: "Old Shi, we haven't set out yet, don't say these unlucky words!"

Shi Zhiming smiled and suddenly looked up at us: "Old bear... why are you here?"

We turned our heads and saw Xiong Da walking up with Xiong Er. Xiong Da put on an old version of the military uniform that had been washed a little white, with a gunpowder gun on his back and a hunting knife stuck to his waist, looking heroic and sporty.

Xiong Da walked straight to Shi Zhiming, stretched out his fist, punched Shi Zhiming gently on his shoulder: "I thought about it all night, but I'm still not relieved if you go alone, so I decided to accompany you!"

"You..." Shi Zhiming was about to say something, but Xiong Da raised his palm and didn't let him continue. Then he turned to look at us: "You said yesterday that if you can't find the spiritual essence of the earth, human beings will usher in a catastrophe! I thought about it, as a People's Liberation Army, although I have been discharged from the army for many years, I still have an obligation to protect the safety of the people! I don't care much, I only care about the villagers of our Menba Village, my son! In order to make them live safely, I think I have no choice! What do you think?"

Xiong Da’s words were very touching.

Although he has been discharged from the army for so many years, Xiong Da still has not forgotten his belief as a soldier in his heart.

This is the real soldier!

We have no way to refuse this request made by Xiong Da.

I nodded to Xiong Da, Xiong Da grinned and shook hands with me.

Then Xiong Da turned his head and looked at Shi Zhiming: "These little brothers all agreed, you won't disagree, right?"

"You..." Shi Zhiming opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xiong Da’s remarks focus on “protecting his home”, so Shi Zhiming could not refuse at all.

Xiong Da looked like a rough man with big and thick eyes, but he didn't expect his mind to be quite greasy!

Xiong Da patted Shi Zhiming on the shoulder: "Old Shi, don't worry, I have everything arranged. I will go into the mountain with you. As for taking care of Zhuoma, I will leave it to my son Xiong Er!"

"Your son..." Shi Zhiming glanced at Xiong Er, and the expression on his face seemed a little uneasy. After all, Xiong Er was only seventeen years old. Can he take good care of Zhuoma? Shi Zhiming's worries are normal.

Xiong Da smiled at Xiong Er. Xiong Er took a step forward and patted his chest loudly: "Captain Gao, don't worry, if I, Xiong Er, have any mistakes, wait for you to come back and let you deal with it!"

Xiong Da laughed straight: "I am worthy of being my son, I am responsible, and a man!"

Shi Zhiming kicked Xiong Da: "Stop pretending, I don't think I know, I collude with your son to act in front of me! Xiong Er, uncle is not worried about anything else, only one thing to tell you, about Zhuoma, you must not... leak!" When he said this, Shi Zhiming turned his head and looked at the side room.

Xiong Er patted his chest and said, "Captain Gao, please be honest. Of course, I know what things can be said and what things can not be said. I am already seventeen years old and I am not a child anymore. I will help you take good care of Zhuoma!"

"What's the matter? You've said this. Can you still believe us two father and son?" Xiong asked with a big smile.

Shi Zhiming shook his head: "Let's go, I'm convinced you!"

Xiong Da reached out and sorted out his military uniform: "Hey, how about it? Am I handsome today? Do I look like a soldier?"

"What does it mean to be like or not? You are just a soldier!" I said.

Xiong Da grinned and said, "Good said! Well said! Hahaha!"

It is not difficult to see from Xiong Da's smile that Xiong Da really likes the title of "Soldier". He feels very proud and proud of being a soldier.

We packed up our things and asked Xiong Er to take care of Zhuoma. Then the group went out of Menba Village and walked into Kunlun Mountain.

On this Kunlun Mountain, there are almost no white clouds, because the white clouds are blown away by the strong wind. The wind here is very strong, and it is like a knife cutting on the body, which is cold and painful, so the skin of the people here is not very good. In addition, there is no cloud cover, and the sunlight shines down like a sharp arrow. The ultraviolet rays are very strong. It takes only half a day to make people dark.

During the break, Xiong Da asked Shi Zhiming: "Old Shi, can you still remember the road to the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West for so many years?"

Shi Zhiming took out the notebook he carried with him: "This notebook has been following me for more than ten years, and it records the route of travel at that time in detail. As long as you follow the map on the notebook, you will definitely find the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West!"

"Hey, there seems to be a building on the hill ahead!"

I stood on the top of the mountain, originally standing on a high place, overlooking the rolling white mountains below. The mountains were like white waves, rushing into the distance, rushing to the place where heaven and earth intersect.

When I looked up inadvertently, I suddenly saw a temple standing on the hill opposite.

Shi Zhiming put his right hand on his forehead, put on a pergola in his hand, and squinted his eyes and looked at the opposite hill.

"Did you see Lao Shi? There seems to be a temple opposite me!" My eyesight is very good, and such a big target must not escape my eyes.

Shi Zhiming said, "The temple you mentioned should be the Snow Temple!"

Xiong Da walked over, rubbed his hands, and said in a suffocation: "That's right! It's the Snow Temple! Look, when the sun shines on the top of the temple, the top of the temple will still shine!"

Xiong Da pointed at the Snow Temple opposite. At this time, the sun shone down and fell on the top of the Snow Temple. A strange halo appeared on the top of the Snow Temple, shining brightly, giving birth to a sense of dignity and sacredness.

Shi Zhiming said: "The top of the Snow Temple is covered with glazed tiles, so when the sunlight falls on the glazed tiles, it will reflect such a halo!"

I was secretly curious: "Who built such a temple on this snow-capped mountain?"

Shi Zhiming said: "This snow temple should have existed for a long time. It was built by the villagers of Menba Village on their own! The villagers of Menba Village are afraid of the mountains. They believe that there are gods in Kunlun Mountains, so they built such a snow temple to worship the snow gods! On various sacrificial days every year, batches of villagers come to the snow temple to worship!"

I nodded. This snow god temple is actually similar to a mountain god temple, and it enshrines the mountain gods of Kunlun Mountain.

"Shouldn't he be the mountain god? What kind of god is the snow god?" Lei Zi asked in anger.

"Snow God...uh...is a villagers of Menba Village, recognized as a god! The full name is 'Snow Mountain God', which means the god in the snow mountain! Many villagers claim to have seen gods and say that the gods in Kunlun Mountain are tall and look like snow all over, so it is said that it has become a snow god! This temple is dedicated to the snow god!" Shi Zhiming explained to us.

"In other words, the God of Snow Mountain Really exists?" I was slightly surprised.

Shi Zhiming shrugged: "Who knows! Maybe it's real, maybe it's made up by the villagers, but many villagers say it with scruples, which adds a lot of mystery to the God of Snow Mountain and also adds a strong credibility! But I think that things like gods, if you believe in them, you will not believe in them! Regardless of whether they really exist, it is at least a kind of faith among the villagers!"

Xiong Da nodded: "Lao Shi's words are pertinent, and I agree very much!"

Shi Zhiming asked Xiong Da: "Then you have lived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain for so many years, have you ever seen the God of Snow Mountain?"

Xiong Da shook his head: "No! Maybe I don't have enough practice and I don't have the fate to see the God of Snow Mountain!"

Shi Zhiming smiled and pointed to the Snow Temple opposite: "Let's go, we'll rest our legs in the Snow Temple tonight!"

"What's wrong? We've only walked such a little distance in a day?" Lei Zi frowned.

"A little distance?!" Shi Zhiming was stunned and smiled and said, "The straight line is of course very close to you, but if you really want to walk to the opposite hill, you don't know how long it will take. It would be good if we can reach the Snow Temple before sunset!"

"Let's go! Everyone!" Xiong Da turned around and greeted us: "Everyone hurry up and hurry up and settled in the Snow God Temple tonight. Maybe you can meet the God of the Snow Mountain!"

"Is the God of Snow Mountain a man or a woman?" Lei Zi asked.

Xiong Da opened his mouth and was stunned for a while: "How do I know this question?"

Xiong Da scratched his head and said casually: "Maybe he is a woman!"

Lei Zi's eyes instantly shine: "I'm so handsome. Do you think the God of Snow Mountain may fall in love with me? What if she wants to talk to me and beg me for a baby?"

Oh!

Xiong Da fell in front of him: "Can you not follow me? I don't want to chat with you!"

Looking at Lei Zi's back, Ku Junwei slowly shook his head and recited a poem: "Day day, day, earth, day, day, day, day, air!"

Chen Shiba shook his head and said to the second couplet: "Do you guys, ghosts, and beasts!"
