Her heart was aching, but Situ Feng's determination was strong.
His injured body abroad had not fully recovered and was still recovering. The healers told him that he was not allowed to do strenuous exercise.
However, he didn't care about that at the moment.
He was even willing to die for the girl, let alone this.
He carried her on his back for a long time now. Chen Qingqing was afraid that he would be dragged down, so he said: "Situ Feng, put me down! I've had enough rest. "
"It's fine, I can still hold on. Let's carry on for a bit longer!" When you get to the stone steps, you will climb them yourself. "
"Alright." It was said that there were 18,000 stone steps at the Spirit Hidden Temple in Beijing.
They were all thick and tall stone steps.
What the heck!
Was his life going to end here today!
However, the road was already more than halfway there, so it was impossible for him to give up halfway.
Chen Qingqing laid on Situ Feng's back and continued to rest with a bitter face. He was about to die from the pain in his heart.
She had only walked half the road, and was already so tired. Yet Situ Feng had carried her on his back for such a long distance.
For her, Situ Feng really didn't care about his life.
Reaching the front of the stone steps, Situ Feng put Chen Qingqing down from his back.
Then the two of them held hands and began to climb the stone steps.
One after another, layer after layer, after only walking for less than two thousand steps, Chen Qingqing's legs had already begun to soften.
However, he clenched his teeth and continued to climb the stone steps.
Situ Feng was already tired enough so after carrying her for so long, she couldn't burden him any further.
However, when she reached almost three thousand stone steps, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.
Situ Feng quickly helped her up and asked worriedly, "Girl, are you alright?"
Chen Qingqing laughed bitterly: "Situ Feng, I've already done my best ?"
It showed that he really couldn't crawl, and he was powerless.
Situ Feng also laughed bitterly: "Silly Girl, if you can't hold on any longer, you won't make a sound."
After that, he carried her on his back once again. This time around, it was much harder than last time.
He had used up almost all of his physical strength. Furthermore, this place was filled with stone steps, and each level was higher than the last. This was a huge drain on his physical strength.
The veins on his forehead were begi
ing to bulge.
It was a cold day, but he was covered in sweat.
Chen Qingqing said with a pained heart: "Situ Feng, how about ?"
She wanted to say forget it, let's go back!
But Situ Feng seemed to know what she wanted to say, and interrupted her: "No, you ca
ot, you ca
ot give up halfway, little girl, this is Spirit Hidden Temple, you ca
ot speak blindly."
He didn't believe in gods and buddhas, but because of her, he believed even some fake taboos.
It was said that one couldn't speak carelessly in front of the Buddha. One would run into the Buddha and in the future, they would be unlucky.
In the past, he only thought of these words as bullshit, but if it was related to the girl, he would rather believe it than not.
Chen Qingqing expressed helplessness, with Situ Feng crouching down in front of her, she could only powerlessly lie down.
Tears started streaming down his face.
She said: "Situ Feng, why are you so good to me?"
What should I repay you with?
At first, when he was still unknown and she quietly waited for him, she felt that she loved him more than he loved her.
But after all that had happened, she felt that she loved him less than half as much as he loved her.
What should she do with such a Situ Feng?
Situ Feng's footsteps did not stop as he panted heavily, "Little girl, don't think too much about it. You are the most important person to me in my life, and we will walk for the rest of our lives.
After saying that, Chen Qingqing's voice was choked with sobs, she said: "Is it worth it?"
"To you, this is the most worthwhile thing that I have done ?"
She sobbed silently on his back, it was the kind of weeping that was barely audible, but Situ Feng could still feel it.
"Little girl, don't cry. I won't feel good even if you cry."
"I'm not crying. Situ Feng, let's go. I'll rest for a while before leaving."
"Alright." He had already used up all his strength, but he still managed to force himself to walk.
After walking up another three thousand steps, Chen Qingqing rested for a while to recover some of his strength, so he got off his back.
Afterwards, the two of them held hands and walked away together.
At the same time, Situ Feng's face had long turned pale white.
However, he continued to persevere.
Finally, when the two of them were exhausted, they arrived at the peak of the mountain. The three words' Spirit Hidden Temple 'appeared in front of their eyes.
They couldn't help but look at each other, their faces brimming with a victorious smile.
He had finally arrived!
The whole journey was like the experience between the two of them.
So bitter, so tired, so many twists and turns, but still come to this.
He believed that their future would be the same as now, where they would successfully reach the end.
Almost as soon as they appeared, a group of people dressed like monks walked towards them.
"Amitabha, thank you for your hard work. You must be tired from walking all the way up!" "Let's take a break at the Zen Temple first. The abbot will personally receive you."
Nowadays, there weren't many people who were sincere like this, and they were both young people.
Even before they had ascended the mountain, they had already attracted the attention of the monks of the Spirit Hidden Temple.
Even the abbot was alarmed, which was why he wanted to personally see him.
The Spirit Hidden Temple was a temple that had been passed down since ancient times. It had a history of over a thousand years, and it was said that there were many high monks here.
When Situ Feng heard that the abbot would personally meet with them, he could not help but feel joy in his heart.
Then, she held Chen Qingqing's hand and followed the few monks into the temple.
It was very big, and gave off a simple and unadorned feeling.
The two of them rested for a while, then ate some fasting and drank some water before recovering their strength.
Chen Qingqing did not move for a long time, he only felt pain all over his body.
However, the two of them still washed their hands and face and properly went to pay their respects to the Buddha, asking for two safety talismans before going to see the abbot.
It was in a very old courtyard behind the Spirit Hidden Temple.
The abbot was wearing a red cassock as he sat there making tea with a benevolent expression.
He looked like a high monk hidden in the mortal world.
The moment the two of them appeared, he immediately said, "Two young men, please sit."
Chen Qingqing and Situ Feng obeyed and sat down.
He said: "The two of you have put in a lot of effort to hike up the mountain. What do you need?"
Situ Feng said: "A while ago, an old gra
y predicted that this year would be a calamity for the little girl. I originally did not believe it, but recently, someone who had a grudge really did appear by the little girl's side."
The abbot stroked his long, white beard and said, "Sometimes success comes eventually. Benefactor, have you come for peace?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid that the old gra
y won't be able to live much longer. For her to be able to predict the future of this matter, it can be said to be a great favor!" Since you all know about it and want to be on guard, why do you need peace? "
"The old gra
y has passed away and has been buried deeply. I understand the meaning behind the abbot's words, thank you for your guidance."
