Chapter 14 — The day he established me, I did not make a fuss, 17 days later, he searched the world looking for me

They are like a bunch of tireless crazy people, with only one goal. Thuong Van Son. The further north you go, the colder it gets. Jiangnan's gentleness has long been left behind. Instead, it was the cold wind of the North. The wind blew against my face, like countless small blades, bit by bit biting my skin. Ta Than's lips were cracked and bleeding. His handsome face also froze to the point of turning purple. But his eyes... were so bright and scary. Like two fires in the middle of ice and snow, forever unextinguished. The thing that fends him off… has only one name. Just thinking about her lying on the bed, her weak breath waiting for him... He immediately felt that he could be a little faster. You can still hold on a little longer. He started, right on horseback... reliving the past bit by bit. He remembered that one winter year, there was such a big snowfall in the palace. She was as excited as a child, pulled him outside and built a snowman. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around the ugly snowman's neck. She said: "Ta Than, look, does it look like you?" At that moment, he was so angry that he burst out laughing, grabbed a handful of snow, and stuffed it straight into her collar. Making her scream, she chased and beat him for half an hour. At that time... how alive she was. Like a fire, it can melt all ice and snow. But now, that fire... is about to go out. The one who lit it... was him. And the one who personally extinguished it... was also him. Every time he remembers one more part... The regret in his heart grows an inch deeper. In his hand, the horse whip swung again with more urgency. Finally, at sunset on Thursday. A giant snow mountain appeared on the horizon. That mountain, its entire body white, soared into the clouds. Under the sunset light, a layer of holy golden light is reflected. Thuong Van Son. They... have arrived. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was only the guide, looking at the snow mountain in front of him, deep fear in his eyes. He got off his horse and knelt before Ta Than.

“The mountain road is dangerous, if it goes any higher, the horse cannot go.”

“We… can only walk.”

Ta Than did not hesitate and immediately dismounted.

"Guide."

The guide looked at him, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"Your Majesty, this Thuong Van mountain... is very evil."

"In the mountains there are snow wolves, avalanches, and 'white mao wind' (extremely cold snowstorm winds that cool down extremely quickly) that can freeze living people."

“If one person enters the mountain, nine out of ten… can't get out.”

“And Tuyet Tam Thao… is just something that exists in legends.”

“You are the body of ten thousand gold, really… there is really no need to take such risks…”

Ta Than looked at him, his eyes calm.

“I know.”

“You lead the way.”

“If you find it, I will give you three generations of wealth.”

“If you can't find it…”

He paused for a moment and did not continue. Because… that possibility doesn't exist. If he can't find it, he will bury himself in this ice and snow... use his death to make up for her, even if he doesn't want to, he has to accept it. The guide looked at the obsession to destroy heaven and destroy the earth in the eyes of the heavenly son, knowing that further advice would be useless. He sighed and stood up from the ground.

“Yes, the people obeyed.”

A group of people arranged their horses in a sheltered place at the foot of the mountain. Carrying minimal luggage, stepping onto the snowy road... leading to an unknown life and death. Road Mountains, more difficult to go than imagined. The snow was knee deep. Every step consumes a large amount of physical strength. The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes. Everyone experiences symptoms of dizziness, tinnitus, and difficulty breathing to varying degrees. Xie Chen's body has long since reached its limit. But his steps... never stopped. In his mind, there was only one thought. A little faster. Faster. Van Van... is still waiting for me. Night... falls. Thuong Van mountain turned into a white giant beast, hiding in the darkness. The mountain wind roared, sending snow flying across the sky. Like countless unjust souls, crying sadly. The temperature... suddenly dropped to a scary level. His eyebrows, beard and hair... were all covered with a layer of white ice.

“Can't go anymore!”

The guide wore the wind and snow, screaming with difficulty.

"There is a mountain cave ahead, we have to find a place to avoid this 'white hair wind'!"

Ta Than turned his head. He saw dozens of dark guards behind him. Several people, exhausted, collapsed in the snow. If this continues, until Tuyet Tam Thao is found, all of them... will die here. He finally... nodded.

“Go into the cave.”

A group of people, under the guidance of a guide, walked deeply and shallowly, looking for that mountain cave. The cave is not large, but just enough to block the deadly wind. They built a fire. Orange fire shines red orange, dancing in the darkness. Bringing, amidst this ice and snow... a single ray of warmth. Everyone gathered around the fire, chewing dried food frozen as hard as stone. No one talked. Only the sound of firewood crackling. And outside the cave... the wind whistled like a devil crying and a wolf howling. Ta Than leaned against the cold stone wall and closed his eyes. He didn't eat anything. Also don't feel hungry.
