However, when the three of them were sweating profusely and persevering for another hour, Xu Li finally opened Chrysostom and asked everyone to stop and rest for a while, so as to replenish some water, so as not to sweat too much and cause dehydration.

Halfway through the valley between the two mountains, Xu Li chose this place for everyone to stop and rest, because there was a stream with a strong flow that allowed them to wash away the heat.

The water in this creek is extremely clear, and there are even a few small grass carp swimming slowly with the current at the bottom of the stream.

The two Moon Kings had heard of it dozens of times before they came, saying that there was a stream in this mountain, and after seeing it with their own eyes at this moment, the two of them immediately leaned over and scooped up the stream to wash their faces and cool down.

Originally, the fat man planned to taste the taste of the mountain water, but as soon as his fingers were put into the water, the fat man pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.

There is nothing wrong with looking at this stream with your eyes alone, but when you touch it, you will find that the temperature of the water is very cold.

This kind of coolness is not the lukewarm coolness of tap water released from the faucet at home, but like the ice water that has just melted into the glacier.

"No wonder you won't let me drink this stream!"

The fat man only remembered what Xu Li had told him when he was on the mountain, and he only washed with this stream water for a while, and then continued to ask: "Why is this stream so cold?" Where did this water come from? ”

Xu Li took out a towel from her backpack, and after dipping it in the stream, she wiped her cheeks and explained: "I don't know where it came from, but the cold in this water is too heavy, and this situation is very similar to the cold water in the record!" ”

Ice water is a unique term in Taoism, mainly used to describe a very special kind of groundwater.

It is said that groundwater in any part of the earth has its own characteristics depending on the region and environment.

Someone once found that after a groundwater was brought out, the temperature of the water was very cold, and when these people used a meter to test the temperature of the water, they found that the groundwater there could reach below freezing.

You know, once the temperature of the water reaches below freezing, it will definitely freeze.

But this kind of groundwater is unusual, this groundwater does not look at the temperature below zero, but it is not frozen, but still flows normally, or stays in a concave place to maintain a still state.

Of course, some people have also analyzed and tested this strange groundwater, but in the end, they only came to the conclusion that there are unknown elements in the water, and it is this unknown element that causes the water to have low temperatures but not freeze.

However, when later Taoists also discovered this kind of groundwater, some experienced predecessors of Taoism gave another explanation.

According to those predecessors, cold is indispensable underground, and this water is formed by the condensation of cold.

Although this cold water is particularly clear, this water contains a lot of cold air, which is not suitable for ordinary people to drink, and even some cold things may not be comparable to the cold water formed by this cold air.

"No, beauty, this cold water doesn't mean underground water, now this stream is on the ground, how can this be cold water?"

Yuebai had also heard about the origin and record of the icy cold water, so when he heard Xu Li say that this water was the icy cold water in the record, Yuebai immediately had a different opinion.

Xu Li also seemed to have thought of this question, but she didn't delve into it here, just smiled faintly and said perfunctorily: "Hehe, is there any difference between the ground and the underground?" Cold condensate is not afraid of the sun, but anything that can satisfy this can be called cold water. ”

"So, this water really can't be drunk?"

Yuebai looked at the clear stream and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was also like a fat man at this time, like tasting the products of nature.

"The cold is too heavy, and if you drink it, you will at least have diarrhea."

Xu Li seemed to be tired of hearing this kind of question, so she waved her hand and said with a casual expression: "If you are not afraid of this, go and drink, I don't drink anyway." ”

Hearing this, Yuebai could only dispel the idea of greed with a wry smile, he now knows where he and the others are, in case drinking this water is really like what Xu Damei said, after drinking it, let himself pour a thousand miles, if the water does not stop, then I am afraid that only himself will suffer in the end.

The water can't be drunk, and everyone can only use this to wash their faces and cool down, and the three of them have been resting here until three o'clock, and then they set off again and walked towards the nearby Cloud Piercing Mountain.

Although it was past noon at three o'clock, this time was the driest time in the mountains and forests.

The fat man was still a pioneer, and the waist knife in his hand was also constantly cutting down the vines that were in the way, but he didn't hold on for long, and the beads of sweat on his head flowed down his neck into his collar, and in about fifteen minutes, the fat man's clothes were all attached to his body.

It was also very strange to say that the fat man's clothes were obviously soaked, but at this moment he did not complain about the scorching sun and the high temperature around him as before.

Not only did the fat man not complain at the moment, but it seemed that he was also waving the waist knife in his hand at the obstacle in front of him more energetically, as if he didn't know how to be tired and couldn't feel the heat now.

Yuebai, who was following the fat man, looked at the other party more and more strangely, and the latter thought, did the fat man eat the strong pill? Why is he the same as before?

Xu Li also discovered the abnormality of the fat man, and after she endured it for a long time, Xu Meiren finally couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Fat man, you, you and Xiaobai can change, let him go ahead, you can rest for a while." ”

"Hehe, I'm not tired now!"

The fat man lit a cigarette, wiped his sweat and said a word, and then he turned back and continued on his way.

Yuebai didn't seem to be able to help it, he saw that Xu Li's temptation didn't come to any results, so he directly stepped forward and patted the fat man and asked, "I said, why are you so fierce now?" In such a hot temperature, be careful of heat stroke and collapse. ”

"It's okay, I don't feel the heat right now!"

"Don't feel the heat?"

Yuebai was stunned, and subconsciously said: "You can't have a fever, come, I'll touch your forehead to see if you're hot." ”

"Die, you're just having a fever!"

The fat man rolled his eyes and opened the palm of the other party's hand, and after inadvertently scanning the flush of the two people behind him, the fat man took off his backpack and took out a bulging white towel that seemed to be wrapped in something, handed it to Yuebai and said, "Look at your hot little appearance, come, and play with you for a while!" ”

"What's this?"

When Yuebai took the white towel, he only felt that the things in his hand were a little cold, and after he lifted the towel in confusion, a cold military kettle was revealed inside, which was steaming white and like an ice cube.

"This? Is it ice in here? Why is it so cold? ”

"It's not ice, it's me who poured the stream into it."

The fat man said proudly: "That stream is really good, it's been so long and it's still so cold, this is simply a magic weapon to escape the heat!" ”
