Chapter 2: Mysterious Old Man (Part 1)

It was already dark at this time, and Yang Dingtian looked up at the sky. Because the cave was too deep, the originally wide opening was only the size of a palm, so Yang Dingtian could only see the sky the size of a palm.

At this time, the moon rose into the sky, and after passing through the sky above Yangdingtian, he clearly saw that there were two moons.

In Su Dongpo's words, it is written that I hope that people will live long and live together for thousands of miles. But now, Yang Dingtian and the moon that parents and relatives see are not the same, and there are even two moons here.

Sadness and tiredness invaded Yang Dingtian, he glanced at the old man not far away, the old man still closed his eyes and did not move.

At this point, there is nothing to be afraid of. So, Yang Dingtian also slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Wake up again, dozens of hours later.

Yang Dingtian wanted to get up, and continued to find a way to get out of the cave, but found that he couldn't stand up at all. The starvation for days and nights had completely exhausted the energy in his body, and the heat stored for decades was completely consumed in order to rescue the old man and melt the thorny icicle.

In the past few days and nights, Yang Dingtian had only drank a few mouthfuls of ice-melting water, never had a mouthful of food, and had shed a lot of blood. At this time, he really had no strength to stand up.

At this time, the sky outside was gloomy, there was no sun, and the dark clouds were pressing up layer by layer.

Immediately afterwards, the sky began to snow, and the fist-sized snow mass suddenly fell from the sky. After a while, heavy snow covered the bottom of the cave in a thick layer. The old man remained motionless with his eyes closed. Gradually, his entire body was completely covered by heavy snow. After about an hour, the old man could no longer see his entire body and turned into a snowman.

And the snow on Yang Dingtian's body began to thicken gradually, and the heat on his body could not even melt the snow at this time.

In order not to be buried by the heavy snow, Yang Dingtian shook his head vigorously. But after a while, it was covered by snow again, and Yang Dingtian shook his head again.

Once, twice, three times...

In the end, Yang Dingtian didn't even have the strength to shake his head, his body completely lost the last trace of heat, and he watched as the snow completely buried himself and his life.

Suddenly, the snow on the old man who was not far ahead shook, and the old man moved. He reached into his arms, took out a red object and threw it in the direction of Yang Dingtian.

It was a red pill. The pill fell on the snow, and the surrounding snow melted instantly. On the white snow, the red pill was as dazzling as a flame.

At this time, Yang Dingtian's will to survive made him gather the last bit of strength, his body slammed on him, and he opened his mouth to bite the red pill.

As for the poison? What are the consequences of eating it? Yang Dingtian completely ignored it.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it melted in his mouth like a raging fire, and penetrated into his abdomen like a flowing flame, and then a burst of heat spread out and flowed into the blood vessels of the whole body.

Immediately, as if the warm sun of spring illuminated the earth, Yang Dingtian's rigid body began to recover inch by inch.

Soon, the whole body turned into a flaming furnace again, fully restored to vitality. Even, there is a powerful force rampaging in the body, desperately trying to burst out, Yang Dingtian only feels that the energy in his body is endless.

"What is this? It's so magical?" Yang Dingtian was surprised and excited, then walked up to the old man and bowed: "Thank you, old man!"

"However, your body can't stand it anymore, won't you eat one?" Yang Dingtian asked.

The old man ignored him, still sitting down with his eyes closed, letting the snow fall on his body, and wrapping himself into a snowman again.

Next, no matter what Yang Dingtian said, the other party did not respond.

Yang Dingtian, who was full of heat, didn't know what to do. The cave was so big. He waved his fists randomly in the heavy snow.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it piled up about two feet in just half a day, almost completely burying the old man, so Yang Dingtian went over to clean up the snow for the old man every half an hour.

"The snow is falling so much and it piles up so fast, I'm afraid the cave will be filled up in a few years." Yang Dingtian secretly said.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but burst into ecstasy, then rushed to the old man and said, "Old gentleman, old gentleman, I have found a way to get out, I have found a way to get out."

But the old man still didn't respond.

Yang Dingtian has indeed found a way to get out. He can use snow to make steps and stick to the wall of the ice cave. The entrance of the cave is about several kilometers deep, and the ice and snow steps are surrounded by it. It will take tens of thousands of steps.

Just do what it says, Yang Dingtian first used the snow to form a snow brick one foot long, half a foot wide, and three inches thick, and then pressed the snow brick to the wall of the ice cave, and used his own body to make a snow brick. The snow bricks melted into water, then condensed into ice, and the snow bricks became smaller ice bricks, which were firmly adhered to the wall of the cave.

It took a full hour for Yang Dingtian to successfully make the first step, an ice step more than half a meter high from the ground. Yang Dingtian stood on it, and it really could bear the weight of a person without breaking.

So, Yang Dingtian started to make the second step, the second step was thirty centimeters above and thirty centimeters in front of the first one. Step by step, you can go up diagonally, so that you can go up. If it is a vertical step, you can't walk.

For ten hours, Yang Dingtian worked hard and did less than ten ice steps. He was so exhausted that he sat down to sleep first, and then went to work after waking up.

...

Ten days later, Yangdingtian has made 120 ice steps, and the top one is 40 meters away from the bottom of the cave. For the past ten days, the old man still closed his eyes and did not move or say a word. On the other hand, Yang Dingtian is doing ice and snow steps almost every minute and every second. When he is extremely sleepy, he will lie down on the snow and sleep, and continue to do it after he wakes up.

However, Yang Dingtian could no longer continue. Because the snow stopped after only one day, the 120 ice steps have exhausted all the snow in the cave. If you want to make ice steps again, you can only wait for the next snow.

Moreover, the energy of the previous flame pill was also completely consumed. Yang Dingtian's body became cold again, and he lost his strength again.

Yang Dingtian looked up at the sky. He had never looked forward to the arrival of dark clouds and heavy snow as he did now. But the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining.

At this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes. This was the first time he had opened his eyes in ten days. I glanced at the ice steps made by Yang Dingtian, and then looked at Yang Dingtian again.

Yang Dingtian was suddenly excited, proudly looking at his ice steps, and said excitedly: "Look, old man, these are the steps I made, and we can go out soon. Don't worry, my steps are very solid. , then I'll go out with you on my back."

There was no reaction on the old man's face, and there was no appreciative gaze. He slowly closed his eyes again, as if he didn't see anything. But he took out a pill from his arms and threw it over.

It was still a red and red pill, Yang Dingtian quickly picked it up and threw it into his mouth.

Immediately, the whole body began to burn again, as if filled with endless power. It filled him with the desire to roar, but he was afraid of making a noise with the old man, so he could only punch desperately and vent the rampant energy in his body.

This pill is so amazing, there is nothing so amazing on earth. This thing should be very precious, perhaps worth thousands of gold. With this pill, Yang Dingtian can go without food for more than ten days, and his body will not be short of energy.

It's just that this pill is so precious, but Yang Dingtian has no idea of ​​taking it as his own, and he has no idea of ​​going up to grab the pill at all. Yang Dingtian, who took the pills, was unable to vent his energy, and was looking forward to snow. As long as it snows, he can sit on the ice steps and leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

Finally, God seemed to hear Yang Dingtian's prayer, and it might be winter. On the fifth day after Yangdingtian took the second pill, it finally snowed again, although not as big as last time, but not too small.

Immediately, Yang Dingtian was almost ecstatic, screaming desperately.

Before waiting a few inches on the snowdrift, I started making snow bricks impatiently.

Suddenly, the old man moved, and the snow on his body shook off. The old man opened his eyes, waved at Yang Dingtian, opened his mouth and said two words, although Yang Dingtian still couldn't understand it, he understood that he meant to let him go.

Yang Dingtian hurried over and said, "Look, old man, it's snowing again, we can go out soon."

The old man smiled slightly, this was the first time in more than half a month that the old man smiled.

Then, the old man stretched out his finger and wrote a word on the snow, a word that Yang Dingtian did not recognize. Then, the old man read the word, and after reading it, the old man pointed to himself.

Yang Dingtian held back his excitement and said, "Sir, are you trying to teach me the words and languages ​​of this world?"

The old man didn't understand what Yang Dingtian said, he still pointed to the words on the ground and read it again, and then pointed at himself.

"The word you wrote should be what I meant." Yang Dingtian said: "Then wrote a word 'I' on the snow, then read it slowly, and then pointed to himself."

"I..." The old man read it accurately, then pointed to the word "I" on the snow, then pointed to himself, and finally wrote the word "I" on the snow with his finger.

Yang Dingtian was suddenly speechless, this old man was too good. Just listen to it once and read it once, then you can read and write. Yang Dingtian's calligraphy has been written very well, but I didn't expect the old man to write my calligraphy for the first time even better than his.

Then, the old man wrote the word he had written at the beginning again on the snow, then read it again, and pointed to himself again.

Yang Dingtian hurriedly read along, and then wrote it again on the snow. This is the word 'I' in this world.

Yang Dingtian's pronunciation and writing were relatively accurate, the old man smiled slightly, nodded, and then wrote another word on the snow, read it out, and pointed to Yang Dingtian again.

This time, it should be your character from another world.
