Chapter 143: Gu Rui and Fan Li
Under the deep pit, Fan Li grabbed Gu Rui's sleeve, and the bodies of the two were still declining rapidly, still unable to move.
It was very cold here, and the cold wind blew on the faces of the two of them, so that they couldn't open their eyes and mouths.
Just as they were about to land, a black wind blew up, slowing their descent. Eventually, with a "bang", the two fell to the rocks underground, and although the black wind slowed them down greatly, they still fell unconscious under the impact.
Half a day later, Fan Li woke up leisurely, her strength was a little stronger than Gu Rui, and she landed behind, and part of her body was lying on Gu Rui's body, and the impact was relatively small, so she woke up before Gu Rui.
She stood up and looked around, it was pitch black, but she knew there was an underground river because she could hear the sound of the water.
With the sound, she came to the dark river, where fish swam by from time to time, and the fish here were very special, all of them glowed, like fire spirits on the top of a deep pit. But the dark river is cold, and these fish are obviously not fire spirits.
"Based on the time we just fell, this place should be 10,000 feet above the ground. Fan Li whispered.
With the faint glow of the fish swimming by, she could see her surroundings clearly, it was an underground channel, but the river had become less watery, revealing the original riverbed, where she was standing now.
"Ouch!"
When Fan Li was observing the surroundings, Gu Rui also woke up, although his strength was not strong, but after all, he was born into a family of body refiners, and his physical body was relatively strong among the Qi Gathering Realm cultivators.
He covered the back of his head, looked at the darkness around him, and said suspiciously: "Did I fall into hell? Hey, there is a sound of water, is it the Lethe River?"
Gu Rui got up, followed the sound of the water to the river, and said to himself as he walked, "Why is this hell so dark, and there is no money to light the lamp?"
Fan Li stood aside, did not talk, and let Gu Rui talk to himself. Because it was too dark around, Gu Rui didn't find Fan Li who was not far from him.
When a fish swam by, the faint light lit up the place slightly, looking at the shiny fish in the river, Gu Rui said to himself: "This fish is really amazing, and it has its own light, and the species of hell are rare." ”
Fan Li looked strange, this Gu Rui was really nervous, and he really thought that this was hell. And when he learned that he was in hell, he was still so optimistic that he still had the heart to enjoy the fish.
Gurry turned his head to look around with the help of the glimmer, but when he turned his head, he saw a face staring at him. The light was too weak to illuminate Fan Li's body clearly, and Gu Rui could only see a rough outline and a face with a dark shadow.
"Hell!" said Gurry, who was terrified even more intensely than when he fell into the abyss.
He ran out with a "whoosh", and ran wildly, the fear in his heart made him break through his original speed.
"You come back for me!" Fan Li kicked her feet, angry, although her appearance was not a country or a city, but she was also as beautiful as a flower, and it was the first time that someone regarded her as a ghost.
When Gu Rui heard this, he hurriedly stopped his steps, turned back in surprise, and said, "Sister Pear?"
"Isn't it who I am?" Fan Li rolled her eyes, not quite wanting to talk to him.
"Ahh Gu Rui hurriedly ran back, opening his arms, ready to hug Fan Li.
"When you ran around just now, you didn't see that you were worried about me. Fan Li said sarcastically.
Although she couldn't see the surroundings, she was a monk after all, and she sensed Gu Rui's intentions, Fan Li turned sideways, dodged Gu Rui, and kicked Gu Rui into the river.
"Poof!"
Gurry fell into the water, the river splashed on the shore, and with a "whoosh", Gurry jumped out, he wrapped his hands around him, and made a "hiss" sound.
"What's wrong with you?" Fan Li wondered.
Gu Rui hugged himself, his lips trembled, and he said intermittently: "This water...... Good...... It's cold. ”
Hearing this, Fan Li put her hand into the river, and in an instant, she retracted her hand. The water of the river is cold and biting, like a thousand-year-old ice, and its coldness has long exceeded the scope of water.
Fan Li was silent, wondering why the river was so cold, while Gu Rui sat aside, holding himself and shivering there.
For a moment, the entire underground was slightly silent, except for the occasional trembling sound of Gurry.
Half an hour later, the chill on Gu Rui's body gradually disappeared, and occasionally fish swam by, Gu Rui looked at Fan Li's thin back, with a rare serious expression, and said in a low voice: "Sister Li, I'm sorry for what happened back then." ”
His voice was soft, but it was unusually clear in the silence of the earth. Fan Li turned her back to Gu Rui and was silent, although she was not very old, she was tall, which was related to the fact that she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child.
"Hmph!" After a while, Fan Li snorted coldly, followed the flow of the river, and walked towards the upper reaches of the dark river.
"Alas!" Gu Rui sighed softly, if Qiu Fugui was here, he would definitely be surprised. Because he definitely couldn't have imagined that this young man, who was positive and optimistic no matter what happened on weekdays, and had big nerves, would have times when he sighed.
After sighing, Gu Rui still followed in Fan Li's footsteps and walked upstream of the river. The two of them walked one after the other, it was pitch black, there was no concept of time, and they didn't know how long they had been walking.
The temperature was getting colder and colder, and later, even the air was bitterly cold, but both of them were monks, and they could barely hold on.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, the chill increased significantly, and Gurry, who was usually lazy and rarely experienced hardships, retreated at this time. He said, "Sister Pear, why don't you go forward, it's too cold." ”
"Nobody asked you to come along. Fan Li's silver teeth bit lightly, obviously, she couldn't ignore the cold, but she was determined and wanted to go over to find out, and she had no intention of retreating.
Gu Rui had no choice but to continue to follow, gritting his teeth and insisting. After another quarter of an hour, a glimmer of light appeared in front of them, not a faint glow emitted by a fish, but a larger light source.
But at this time, the two of them were unable to move an inch, and they gradually had some ice slag on their bodies one step at a time.
"Poof!"
A cold wind hit, Fan Li was careless, fell to the ground, she took out her snow-colored long sword, and supported her body.
Gu Rui stepped forward and wanted to help, but as soon as his hand touched Fan Li, he was thrown away.
"Don't touch me. Fan Li's voice was cold, as if it was colder than the cold wind here.
Before Gu Rui apologized, Fan Li could only be regarded as indifferent to him, and since Gu Rui apologized, when Fan Li looked at Gu Rui, it was as if he had a deep hatred.
Gu Rui sighed softly, took out a piece of clothing from the space magic weapon, and draped it on Fan Li's body. In an instant, Fan Li felt a lot warmer in her body, and the material of her clothes was special, which could resist the cold and heat to a certain extent.
Looking at the clothes that brought warmth to himself, Fan Li just wanted to throw them down, but Gu Rui said: "Wear it, this dress has been stored in my space magic weapon, I haven't worn it, there is no breath of mine on it, without it, you can't go to the end." ”
Fan Li was silent, and after thinking for a while, she didn't take off her clothes, letting it drape over herself. Fan Li, whose body was warm, stood up again and walked towards the light source.
Gu Rui followed behind, he also had treasures to resist the cold, and besides, the Gu family was strong in refining the body, although Gu Rui was lazy, but he was born in that environment, and his body was stronger than ordinary monks of the same realm.
After another quarter of an hour, they finally approached the place, and by this time they could see clearly that it was a huge piece of ice shining.
The ice is very large, like a wall, and the river flows under it, and I don't know if the river is cold in the first place, or if it becomes cold after being rendered by the ice.
After seeing Xuan Bing, Fan Li looked disappointed, she originally thought that this was the exit, but she didn't expect it to be just a piece of ice.
On the other hand, Gu Rui's expression was excited, his face was full of excitement, and he said excitedly: "This is a holy place for refining the body, which is very suitable for tempering the body. ”
For thousands of years, the ancient family has been specializing in the method of refining the body, and has invented many secret methods. Of course, the better the secret method, the more stringent the cultivation conditions it requires, for example, there is a secret method, which is to use the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice as a supplement to absorb the power of the Xuan Ice to temper the body.
How rare the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice is, the Gu family has secret methods, but many of them cannot be used for cultivation, but even so, every core member of the Gu family knows all the top secret methods by heart, so that when they encounter opportunities outside, they can directly cultivate.
As the son of the head of the Gu family, Gu Rui certainly has those secret methods, so he is extremely excited at the moment. No matter how lazy he is, he knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be missed.
"Although I don't know if this is a thousand-year-old Xuan Ice, it shouldn't be bad if it can have such a chill. Gu Rui muttered to himself, sat down on the spot, and began to temper himself according to the records of the secret method, inducing the power of Xuan Bing.
Seeing this, Fan Li looked strange, obviously she insisted on coming here, Gu Rui just had no choice but to follow, but now she has fulfilled him. Fan Li had to sigh, this person's fate came, and he couldn't stop it.
At this moment, Gu Rui's eyes that had been closed opened again, he looked at Fan Li, and said, "Sister Li, I will pass on the method of refining the body to you, and you can also cultivate together." ”
When Fan Li heard this, he was obviously moved, when it came to forging the body, no one in the entire Lieyun Kingdom could compare with the Gu family. And although she didn't know how powerful the so-called absorption of Xuan Ice was, she could judge it by looking at Gu Rui's expression, which should be extraordinary.
But after thinking about it for a while, Fan Li refused: "I don't dare to ask for the secret method of your ancient family." ”
"Why do we pay so much attention to it, and besides, it's just the two of us here, and as long as we don't talk about it, no one knows. "Gu Ruitao is almost, and he wants to use a secret method to make Fan Li let go of the previous mustard.
Fan Li is really a little embarrassed, for the Gu family's forging secret method, she wants to say that it is false not to be moved, but she doesn't want to accept Gu Rui's favor, let alone owe him favors.
"Forget it, just learn, it's a big deal to repay the favor in the future, and only when you are strong can you take your fate into your own hands. After some struggle, Fan Li convinced herself in her heart.
