The weather was already clear, and the wind was blowing on the cold pool, and the faint flute sound was faintly wafting in the wind.

Summer is here again. I looked up at the sky, and there was a pigeon flying in the blue sky, with a bamboo pipe tied to its feet, and it went all the way to the Taishang Shrine.

Four years, eleven months and twenty-five days.

Time passed little by little in my constant patience and suffering, and in five days, I would be released from this abyss and see Master again......

I don't know why, in the past few months, every time I wake up from the cold of the snowy night, I can feel that my body is significantly different from before, and even the ice air of Bai Hantan can gradually resist it.

The most incredible thing is the lake water in the pool, every time the sun goes down, half of my body is covered with ice and snow, and I still suffer from the ice needles, while the other half of the pool water begins to bubble and boil slightly. Ice and fire are frying, if I guess correctly, it must be that the internal force in my body has improved, so that I can withstand the bitter cold of this pool of water changes.

But I stay in this lonely Baihan Lake every day, and I haven't cultivated any immortal methods, where does this internal force come from?

Don't...... Did Master come here and help me continue to persevere here? I looked up at the nine-story white pagoda towering above the clouds, puzzled, but I didn't expect anything.

The water reflected in my face, and it looked white and beautiful under the reflection of the water.

Over the past four years, I have been reborn, the childishness on my face has gradually faded, and the girl's complexion has spread over my cheeks, eyebrow bones and body. Once upon a time, I had a pair of lively and bright eyes; But now the eyes reflected in the water, as cold as water waves, as charming as smoke, as if full of thoughts, when looking at the pool, gentle and confused.

I have grown into a girl, and the fairy bones have also made my age forever fixed when the woman is ready to be released. But the girl's feelings have long been exhausted in this cold white cold pool.

I am no longer the simple and reckless girl I used to be when I first entered Zhongtian, the outside world has been isolated from me for nearly five years, and my heart has been empty for nearly five years.

In addition to the physical changes, I slowly learned to allow myself to talk to everything, and more often than not, to talk to myself.

I forced myself to calm down and listen to all the sounds and movements around the Taibai Peak. Master once taught me to feel all things with a clear and thorough mind, and I had already managed to get my spiritual consciousness to go to the shrine through the enchantment. However, the Nine Realms of Bai Hantan are too powerful to allow my spiritual sense to pass through, but there is no obstacle to talking to all things by heart.

The water of the pool is rippling, the fir forest is swaying with the wind, the wind is whistling over the stone wall of the cold pool, and the sound of the waterfall and thousands of horses galloping into the pool......

One by one, it can also be stilled in my mind.

The water in the pool is still, the fir forest is still, the wind is still, and the waterfall is still...... I felt the tranquility and eternity of the moment in all the static time and space.

I stood in the middle of this deep cold pool, looking at all the still scenes in front of me, touching the mist still in mid-air, confused and lonely. But as long as I wave my hand again, it will bring the sound of chains to the sound of rattle—

The wind in the sleeve wafted by.

The water began to ripple slightly, the fir forest swayed gently in the cold wind, the wind whistled and brushed the stone walls without leaving a trace, the mist floated in the air, and the waterfall rushed down day and night......

Everything is still and moving in my thoughts.

I don't know when I had this ability, maybe in my cold and numb sleep, maybe when I looked up at the nine-storied pagoda again and again, but overnight, I mastered this ability to still all things.

The twilight is like a tidal wave. When the sky gradually deepens, the night in the white cold pool is also more and more silent and long, just like in the past in Dunhuang City, the quiet rainy night after the thunder, the sound of the water is noisy, the humidity is turbid, and you can't go anywhere.

It's been a long time, though. I lit a candle in my hand with my mind, and the light flickered in the dark pool, and when the fire was extinguished, I saw the traces of the axe and chisel on the wall of the pool.

Something was chiseled by man, and the whole stone wall was leveled. I'm afraid no one will be able to recognize the words on it...... Even the one who carved the words with my own hands.

The firelight reflected on the stone wall, and after two years, the traces on it could still be seen between the sharpness of an axe and a chisel. In those days when I couldn't see the future and the light, in those days when I couldn't wait for Master to come to see me, and when I was bent on dying but had to live hard, I drove the sound of chains and carved Master's name everywhere on the stone wall of this cold pool like crazy.

- Linyuan, Linyuan, Linyuan......

I'm afraid that Master won't see my hope, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for his visit, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be forced to die by this dark loneliness and heart-wrenching coldness. So, I carved it with all my might, one by one, day by night, day by night in heart-rending patience...... It was so slowly that the hardest time passed.

Can...... Master never came, not even the white monkey from Apo. In the end, I chiseled out those names bit by bit. My fingers touched the pitted marks on the stone wall, and my eyes suddenly heated.

Gone, nothing...... The name that I have written down with all my life's work seems to be engraved on the beach, and between the tide comes and goes, nothing has ever happened.

Nearly five years have passed.

Amo back then, and now I, have transformed into a light girl. However, apart from that layer of extremely brilliant indifference, there was nothing left.

I never held a grudge against Master, I thought I could wait for Him to come and see me, but then I realized that it was my former self who didn't wait for me. The Amber River runs through the shrine, and that Amo stays on the opposite side of the Amber River, and she and I are separated by two banks, facing each other, forever separated by a river......
