In this simple room, such a beautiful painting elevated the entire space.
Especially the beautiful scenery in the painting made one's mood immediately feel much more comfortable.
"I've never seen such beautiful scenery, but I'm sure I haven't seen this place." De Ren said after taking a look.
Xiao Ge asked, "Where do you think this place is?"
“If there really is such a place, I think it should be near the snow mountains.
Look at the direction of the mountain in this painting, it's very similar to the Gang Rinpoche Peak.
But the Gang Rinpoche Peak is already in another country's territory, and that area is very dangerous in the heart of the snow mountains.
Over the years, many foreign explorers have tried to go deeper, but they all ended in failure.
Even the most experienced multinational trading teams dare not easily venture into the heart of the snow mountains.”
De Ren looked at Xiao Ge and still tried to persuade him.
But Xiao Ge's expression remained unchanged, he simply looked at De Ren without speaking.
"Understood." De Ren said with some emotion in his voice.
Zhang Bei asked, "What do you understand?"
"Persistence! I see persistence in his eyes, and the courage to forge ahead.
I still have some friends in this area, I'll find the best, most experienced people to guide you."
De Ren looked at Zhang Bei, first with a wry smile, then his expression became serious.
"You do understand him, you look like you just ate shit, go on! Is there any difficulty?" Zhang Bei asked.
De Ren chuckled and said, "I don't have any extra money."
"Will you accept gold?" Zhang Bei asked.
De Ren said, "In this world, they only recognize gold."
Zhang Bei didn't say much, he took out a palm-sized bag.
"This is a deposit, the other half will be paid after it's done."
Zhang Bei threw the bag to De Ren and said.
Although he didn't know the going rate, a bag of this size was full of gold.
At this time, it was enough to make a family rich, it's believed that few could resist such a proposition.
"Yes! I'll go do it right away, you guys can go rest."
De Ren said.
He then quickly went down the mountain to find someone who could guide them.
"Don't follow me." Xiao Ge suddenly said after De Ren left.
Zhang Bei asked, "Why?"
"Too dangerous." Xiao Ge said.
This guy always speaks so simply.
"Are you worried about me?" Zhang Bei asked with a smile.
Xiao Ge looked at Zhang Bei and actually nodded, which almost made Zhang Bei moved to tears.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness we're not of the opposite sex, otherwise I'd definitely fall for you."
Zhang Bei looked at Xiao Ge and teased him.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Ge asked.
Zhang Bei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, don't forget we're friends, friends who grew up together.
You may have countless reasons, but for me, all that matters is that you're well.
So, no matter if it's a mountain of knives or a volcano, we'll face it together."
"People will die, I can feel it." Xiao Ge said again.
Zhang Bei waved his hand and asked, "How many days have we been on the road, what do you want to eat?"
"Stir-fried meat." Xiao Ge said unconsciously.
Zhang Bei chuckled and didn't say anything.
Ever since Xiao Ge received the divine gift and came out of the ancient building, Zhang Bei had been responsible for his meals and lodging,
although Xiao Ge was still cold, when Zhang Bei's inquiries became more frequent, it became a habit.
"No problem." Zhang Bei said.
Zhang Bei didn't know if De Ren ate meat, but he still prepared food for De Ren.
It wasn't until late at night when it got dark that De Ren came back.
He looked exhausted, it was obvious he had been blown by the cold wind.
"De Ren? I don't know if you, a cultivator, eat meat, so I cooked a few extra dishes, let's eat together."
Zhang Bei said, looking at De Ren's appearance.
"Thank you!" De Ren said politely.
Zhang Bei asked, "Why are you willing to stay? Helping Xiao Ge isn't an easy task."
"De Ren of the Gyalrong Temple was specifically established for the Zhang family.
This tradition has been passed down for a long time, since I have accepted this identity, I naturally have to bear this responsibility."
De Ren looked at Zhang Bei with a serious expression.
Zhang Bei couldn't help but look at Xiao Ge, the same applied to Xiao Ge.
He had accepted the identity of the head of the Zhang family and was also bearing the responsibility of the head of the Zhang family.
However, having to bear all this at such a young age made Zhang Bei uncomfortable, it was all forced upon him by the Zhang family.
"You're not bad, these things are useless to you, keep them for yourself.
I see you're old, you should start thinking about the future, my Xiao Ge is still young."
Zhang Bei said as he took out a large box of gold and placed it on the table.
De Ren was immediately stunned, he had previously said that the temple had no support from the Zhang family.
Now only he was left, Zhang Bei had previously said he would support him.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Bei's support would be a whole box of gold.
"This, this is all for me?" De Ren was a little dumbfounded.
Zhang Bei nodded and said, "You should understand the saying of sitting idle and consuming one's resources.
I think you should think about how to keep this temple going forever."
"Yes! I will keep that in mind." De Ren said seriously.
Previously, the head of the Zhang family was invisible, now the head of the Zhang family is so young.
Based on the nature of the Zhang family, as long as they don't die young, they will be around for the next hundred years or even longer.
They are here to serve the patriarch, so they naturally need to consider these things.
As for what happens after a hundred years, who knows?
However, when De Ren wanted to carry the box, he found he couldn't lift it at all.
"Take it in several trips, it's here, nobody will take it from you." Zhang Bei didn't care.
There were still twenty or so boxes in his system space, you know, he had robbed the entire Zhang family's gold.
He didn't even miss the gold jewelry, it's obvious how much he got.
Xiao Ge didn't seem to care at all, he didn't have to worry about these things with Zhang Bei around.
"I found two experienced traders, they often travel the snow mountain route to trade with foreign countries.
They will be here early tomorrow morning."
De Ren said to Xiao Ge after hiding the gold.
Xiao Ge nodded and then went to rest with Zhang Bei.
The next morning, early, at De Ren's reminder, the two got up and came to the entrance of the temple.
Two Tibetan men were already standing at the entrance, because of the cold weather.
They were both wearing thick clothes, with a large bag on their backs.
The snow mountains are difficult to travel, and the weather is cold, there are no vehicles, they have to rely on their own legs.
"This is your boss!" De Ren said to the two men.
The two nodded, looking at Xiao Ge and Zhang Bei's young faces with some astonishment.
But they didn't care about that, as long as they got paid.
"Work hard! We'll be back."
Zhang Bei said and left with Xiao Ge.
De Ren clasped his hands together, then thought it was inappropriate, and waved his hand to the two men.
He knew that this farewell, they wouldn't know when they would see each other again.
