I don't know how long I rested. When Dongfu woke up, his eyes were white. He was in a trance for a moment: Isn't it dark yet? I immediately remembered that there was no day or night in this ice cave. It's okay to go to bed when you're tired, get up when you're awake, and live your days freely without refusal. I don't know if it will answer a sentence: A few days in the cave, and a thousand years in the world?

It's a pity that it's a little lonely. I don't know how many years Han Bing has lived in this quiet cave? Dongfu got up and walked out of the arch.

Sure enough, Han Bing was sitting at the stone table outside, stuffing something into the white and tender lotus root of the first part of his arm. Seeing him come out, he smiled slightly: "Are your eyes better?" ”

Dongfu nodded: "It's okay." What are you doing? ”

"I cut a lot of meat, chop it into pieces, stuff it into sweet lotus root with the water flowers, and steam it again, so that I can make you a delicious meal." Han Bing chuckled, his hands busy.

Dongfu saw that her palms were all red, and there were four or five fat lotus roots filled next to her, and she had been doing it for a long time. I felt better than I could go, so I blocked her hand and said, "Don't fill it in." So much, I can have a full meal. Don't be busy quietly, what are you going to do, wait for me to do it. ”

Han Bing really stopped and put the lotus root knot. cleaned up, smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the place to get water." I don't know if I can still see it. ”

Dongfu looked at the large pile of white and tender lotus roots she placed on the table, far larger than what he had seen in Ninghai Village, a little strange, and pointed to these lotus roots: "Is this planted in the cold ice cave?" ”

"I'll show you. Anyway, I drop by. Han Bing smiled and nodded, "It's fat and big." It's just that I don't have much leisure, otherwise I can even grow rice by myself. But I don't really understand, and I don't want to bother with that. ”

Han Bing took Dongfu and walked out along the arch, and came to the stone room with four doors that Dongfu hesitated on that day. Among them, three Dongfu had already been there, and the one that Han Bing wanted to take him there was the one he hadn't had time to explore.

"Are you hungry?"

Han Bing walked in front lightly and skillfully, with a shawl in his hair, and suddenly looked back and asked.

"Not hungry. Looks like you've only been eating it for a short time, right? Dongfu was a little confused, and he didn't know why he suddenly asked this question.

"Let's bring something to eat. It's a long way to the water source. Han Bing said with a chuckle.

"Do you want to go to the dining room and get it?" Dongfu hesitated slightly. There are holes in the ice caves, there are doors everywhere, up and down, zigzags, to fight back and forth, for a person who is not very familiar with it, it really takes some time.

Han Bing smiled but did not answer. Walking to the white stone wall, Dongfu watched her push her hand towards the stone wall, and where her hand reached, the stone wall slowly sank. A hole is exposed. Dongfu curiously walked over to look at it, there was also a faint white light in the small hole, not wide, and the two sides extended along the direction of the stone chamber, and it was impossible to see where it led. There is a rope in the hole, which also runs horizontally along the direction of the small hole.

Cold Ice reached out to pull the rope. The rope turned, and the sound of a heavy turntable came faintly from the small hole.

Dongfu looked at it in surprise, the cold ice turned for a while, and there seemed to be something hanging under the rope, and slowly turned to the front from the side. Han Bing stretched out his hand to pull up the hanging rope, and Dongfu saw that it was a small basket made of white stone. There is also a lid made of stone on top. When the lid of the basket was lifted, there was still Dongfu's unfinished rice and meat.

Han Bing lifted the thing, still put the stone basket back, and lifted it with his hand, and the small stone on that side was pulled up again, tightly combined with the stone wall, and there was no trace of it. Dongfu took a closer look, and the shape of a small splash was carved on this small stone, but it was very small and pure white, so if you didn't look closely, you ignored it.

"In this hole, there are just some commonly used small things, which are easy to access, and you don't have to look for them all the time." Han Bing took another basket, put the food in it, and said with his head down.

"Are those ropes strong?" Dongfu waited for her to put it away, and hurriedly asked in his hand

Han Bing carefully covered the basket and smiled: "That's a thousand-year-old treasure silk, water and fire are insoluble." If you take it to the earthly world outside the cave and sell it, it will be worth a fortune. ”

"There's a lot of good stuff in this hole." Dongfu sighed.

Han Bing smiled lightly: "This is just something left by the ancestor." It's rare, it's just precious. It's not good. As he spoke, he walked in front of him and took Dongfu out of the small arch.

Dongfu followed behind, went out to see, and unconsciously took a breath of cool air.

He walked through these three gates, one leading to the deep Yongdao, the other, winding down, this one, as if going up to the South Heavenly Gate, is a steep step up, looking up, Bai Sensen straight up, steep, narrow and far away, almost into a vertical stone staircase.

Han Bing heard him inhale, turned back to him and smiled, "It's a little tall." But it's much easier to climb this stone ladder, can you go or not? ”

"Go? Why not go? Dongfu was full of curiosity, grabbed in front of the cold ice, lifted a breath of true qi, stepped a few steps in one step, and ran straight up. Halfway through, there were about eight or nine hundred steps, and I was a little tired and couldn't go, so I stopped to rest.

Han Bing followed behind, walked up leisurely, she seemed to have been used to it for a long time, walked up one by one, Dongfu stopped to rest, but she didn't stop, continued to walk up a few steps, only to turn around, her face did not change color and she did not panting, her lips were red and her teeth were white, she was leaning on her black hair, she was radiant, looking at Dongfu and smiling.

Dongfu was stunned for a moment, looking at it from the bottom up, the girl in white clothes and black hair stood tall in front of him, elegant and beautiful, really like a fairy falling from the sky.

"Tired, aren't you?" The cold whispered softly.

"Not tired." Dongfu saw that Han Bing looked effortless, and the competitive young man's heart came up, and he jumped up again, almost walking to the top in one breath. Han Bing was pulled down a few steps by him, but he was not in a hurry, and slowly fell to the ground one by one in the back.

Dongfu stood still, looked at the front, there was a large platform of hundreds of square meters, but the other end of the platform, slowly disturbed, gradually narrowed, the back was pitch black, the halo of white ice stone illuminated some outlines in front of him, as if it was a person-high passage, and then there was nothing to see.

Dongfu had been in the white light that was not extinguished day and night for a long time, and when he suddenly saw this black, he felt a little kind.

Han Bing also came up at this time. She turned and sat down at the top of the stone steps, dangling her legs, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while." ”

Dongfu sat down beside her, looking down, dozens of zhang high, step by step, very imposing.

"When I was a child, Master would ask me to run up and down this step every day, and I would run ten times with a pillar of incense."

Ten back and forth? Dongfu smacked his tongue. He walked up again, of course, knowing that it would not be easy. Even if you are running upwards with your luck, this trip just now, I'm afraid it still took a lot of time.

"yes. I was very sad at the time, crying and crying while climbing up. It feels like you'll never be able to finish it. Han Bing smiled, looking at the stone steps, Dongfu also looked at the stone steps, and seemed to see a little girl in white clothes, wiping her tears, gritting her teeth, and climbing up step by step.

"Your master ......, so strict, right?"

"Well, but Master loves me so much." Han Bing laughed softly, and his eyes flowed: "At that time, I felt so painful, so sad, the master was staring at the bottom, and every time I ran ten times back and forth, several incense sticks were burned." After burning a few sticks, you have to add a few more trips. Sometimes I have to run for more than half a day, and I look forward to eating, and when I have eaten, Master leaves. ”

Han Bing seems to be talking to himself, and he doesn't care if Dongfu is by his side or not. Suddenly, he raised his head again: "By the way, Master left a lot of incense sticks, if you want to remember the number of days, light one in the room every day, after the incense is burned, it will be just one day." She looked at Dongfu and laughed softly: "I'm alone in the ice cave, and I'm used to being day and night, so I don't think about it." Speaking of which, I really don't know what time is. ”

Dongfu looked at Han Bing, couldn't answer, and felt deep pity, but it came up from the bottom of his heart. A person, in this quiet cave, spends the most beautiful youth. The ice is like a flower in a deep valley, opening up leisurely, swaying in the wind, what is heaven and earth? How many years is it? In the eyes of the cold innocence and seclusion, all this is just an external matter.
