Lin Wu recalled the route to Gaozhongling. Before he was halfway there, he stopped and put on a thick coat.

The scenery on both sides of the road is magnificent and desolate. In the distance, the mountains are continuous and almost connected to the sky with snow, which is extremely shocking.

Lin Wu would stop at an empty area on the roadside from time to time, get out of the car to stretch his arms and legs, then check the map to make sure he was not going in the wrong direction before continuing driving.

In the afternoon, the fog reached the mountain plain near Gaozhongling.

She found a suitable place to stop, packed her backpack with the necessary things, and got out of the car to walk.

In the distance, you can vaguely see the plain covered with ice. The temperature here is also very low, which made Lin Wu sneeze several times.

She took a paper map, consulted the compass, found a relatively easy route and set off.

Even though Lin Wu was walking fast and had good physical strength and did not suffer from altitude sickness, it still took nearly two hours before he finally reached the foot of the mountain.

Gaozhongling is the collective name for a large mountain range that appears on the map. It is covered with snow and cold all year round and it never melts. Current records show that some of the roads there are steep and dangerous, making them very difficult to walk on.

Lin Wu is now at the foot of the highest mountain in the southwest of the Gaozhongling mountain range.

She found a high place to have a bird's eye view. There were mountains connected to each other, all covered in snow, and there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

"How do I find this..."

Lin Wu's expression was blank.

She couldn't just search for them one by one. How long would it take to find them? She didn't have that much time.

Alas, why didn’t Mochuan tell her something more accurate?

Oh, Mochuan! Lin Wu rolled up his sleeves and looked at the hair string on his wrist.

Mochuan said this could help her find it.

How to help? Give her guidance or something?

Lin Wu wondered, if she used this string to contact Mo Chuan at this time, would it be useful? Would she be able to meet him directly, and then he would take her directly to Shisanling? Lin Wu was very tempted by this possibility.

After thinking about it, Lin Wu decided to give it a try. Otherwise, when would she find it? She put her fingers together and performed a spell, blending into the hair.

The string of hair reacted, but it was not what Lin Wu expected. Instead, a beam of white light rose into the sky and headed northwest.

This also made Lin Wu very satisfied.

Lin Wu hurried down and followed the direction of the white light.

The white light quickly disappeared.

Lin Wu tried again, but there was no response when he sent the string.

She had no choice but to give up and focus on heading northwest.

Who knew that after walking for an hour, it was already dark, but Lin Wu still didn't see any buildings that looked like temples or ginkgo trees.

All that was visible was white, and at most the dark rocks on the mountain or the hard frozen ground could be seen.

Just looking at this soil, it's impossible for a ginkgo tree to grow there! Lin Wu stopped, wondering if Mo Chuan had misheard her.

Just as Lin Wu was thinking about what to do, she suddenly heard someone calling for help.

At first, Lin Wu thought he was hallucinating in this remote wilderness, but the cry for help was intermittent, and Lin Wu quickly confirmed that he had heard it correctly. He followed the sound and saw an old man sitting in the snow at the foot of a valley.

He was probably in his fifties, wearing a Tibetan robe and a felt hat, with long strings of turquoise hanging around his neck and on his hands.

The other party noticed Lin Wu's arrival at the first time and hurriedly said, "Miss, can you help me find something to pull me up?"

Lin Wu squatted down and asked, "Are you a resident nearby?"

The old man looked up, his face was kind and gentle, and he spoke softly, "Yes, I have lived here for many years. Today, I went out to collect herbs and accidentally slipped. I think my foot was broken and I can't move. Alas, my medicine basket also rolled down."

Lin Wu's eyes lit up slightly.

You can ask about that temple.

"Wait a moment, I'll carry you up on my back."

Lin Wu looked around, put down his bag and looked for a place to go down.

The old man advised: "Girl, you'd better find something to pull me up. I'm an old man and I'm afraid you can't carry me."

"It's okay, I'm strong."

Lin Wu didn't take it seriously. He quickly went to the old man, squatted down and helped him get on his back.

The moment the old man came up, Lin Wu felt as if a mountain was coming up and she was directly pressed down. Fortunately, she managed to hold on with her arms.

“……???” Lin Wu looked back in confusion.

The old man lay on her back and sighed, "I told you, I'm very heavy. Girl, don't force yourself if you can't."

Lin Wu couldn't bear to hear the word "go".

She has become alienated now, and her strength is many times greater than before. How can she not be able to carry an old man? ? Besides, she still needs help from him.

She couldn't help but say, "Hey... I can see that you eat well. Your clothes are also very nice." He is good at hiding fat, and you can't tell his weight.

The old man smiled and said, "It's OK. I usually just eat some coarse food, and it's good enough to be full. As for this dress, I made it myself, and I really think it's pretty good."

Lin Wu choked. Is this what she meant?

Lin Wu took a deep breath and climbed up with the old man on his back.

Lin Wu swore that she had never felt so exhausted and tired before.

This was even different from the weakness and fatigue from last night's excessive energy loss.

After finally climbing up, Lin Wu was panting so hard that he felt like he was having altitude sickness.

At the same time, he felt something was wrong. How could an old man be so heavy? There was definitely something strange about him.

But it’s better this way. The other party is not an ordinary person, which means that there is a greater possibility that he knows about the Thirteen Ridges and the temple.

"Girl, are you okay?" the old man asked with concern.

Lin Wu sat down directly on the spot and said slowly: "I'm fine. In addition, I want to ask you something."

The old man said, "Miss, could you please take me back to my residence first? When the time comes, no matter what you need from me, I will definitely do it."

He looked at Lin Wu apologetically and said, "The main reason is that I really can't leave now."

Lin Wu: "...How far?"

"It's not far. We can get there in half an hour."

The old man said with a smile.

Lin Wu almost couldn't catch his breath.

Memorize for half an hour? She didn’t think she could do that.

"that……"

"Oh, my feet hurt so much that I don't have the energy to think about anything else, and I can't think of anything."

The old man sighed and said, "Well, I'll just crawl back by myself. There seem to be wolves around here. I hope I won't run into any."

Lin Wu: “…”

Lin Wu took a deep breath and said, "Well, I..."

"Thank you, young lady. You are a good person and your wish will surely come true!" the old man said immediately.

Lin Wu choked, then resigned himself to his fate, hung the bag in front of him, and then carried the old man on his back.

The opponent was so heavy that Lin Wu's legs were shaking.

She couldn't help asking, "How much do you weigh?"

"Girl, do you dislike me, an old man?" the old man asked hurt and miserable, his low tone making people feel inexplicably guilty.

Lin Wu: “…”

Lin Wusheng squeezed out two words: "No."

The old man praised: "Girl, you are such a good person." Then he pointed Lin Wu in the direction.

Lin Wu gritted his teeth and set off on his journey.

As a result, within a few minutes, Lin Wu was so tired that he regretted it extremely.

But she was too embarrassed to say it directly, especially since the old man kept praising her sincerely for being so great and wonderful.

During this half hour, Lin Wu was in a trance.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?"

"We're here." The old man pointed ahead.

Lin Wu walked over with difficulty and looked around.

"No."

The old man said, "Look down."

Lin Wu followed it down, and then his expression changed slightly.

There was a cliff below!! But the next moment, Lin Wu was stunned again.

Three or four meters down, there is a house built against the mountain.

It looks like... a temple! (End of this chapter)
