Chapter 4: The River of Ice and Fire
There was no day and night in the cave, and when Gu Yueli opened his eyes again, he didn't know how long it had been. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Gu Yueli got up and looked at Youzi Qi and the woman who had never known her life with a little guilt, Qianlong got up, and the face under the hood loomed in the shadows.
"Since Brother Gu has succeeded, let's go out from here. Ji Yiyan pointed to the magic circle that appeared on the rock wall at some point. The circle was as tall as one person, spinning slowly, unable to see the world behind it.
Everyone entered the magic circle one by one and disappeared, Gu Yueli sighed and walked in.
Passing through the circle, there was no one. Gu Yueli shouted a few times but did not respond. In front of me is a two-color river, and an abrupt single-plank bridge on the river seems to be suspended above the void.
"River of Ice and Fire......." Gu Yueli muttered to herself. I remember that before going up the mountain, Yi Yan talked about this place, for people like himself who are not deeply cultivated, on the bridge is like being in ice and fire, the pain is unbearable, and those who are not determined cannot pass. It is said that in this midst of fire and ice, people can see what they hate and love, but what will they see?
Gu Yueli did not hesitate, stretched out her feet and stepped on the single-plank bridge. As soon as the soles of his feet touched the bridge deck, his whole body shivered, and the soles of his feet began to numb. Gu Yueli didn't stop, and strode forward, like walking on the ground.
The time on the glacier is like a year, even if Gu Yueli is lucky enough to be too clear, he only retains a trace of clarity in the spiritual platform, and his body has long been unconscious, and he can't feel anything except cold.
The most hated thing, as it is. Gu Yueli looked at the illusion that appeared in front of her and smiled bitterly.
I saw a child in the fantasy world who was bullied since he was a child, grew up in the cynicism of the world, and watched his parents die in front of him but couldn't do anything. Incompetent self, that's all. Unconsciously there were tears oozing out of the corners of Gu Yueli's eyes, and they instantly formed ice crystals.
I don't believe in fate, maybe it's just because it's unfair.
After walking for a few hours, I finally arrived at the intersection of ice and fire, further is fire, and one step back is ice, like a canopy dividing the river of ice and fire into two halves. Gu Yueli stepped over the meeting of ice and fire with one foot, the frost on her body instantly melted and evaporated, and after a short period of warmth, there were bursts of burning pain in her numb body.
Gu Yueli's footsteps did not stop in the slightest, walking forward with his eyes closed, as if the river of fire under his feet did not exist, even if the occasional tongue of fire rushed up to his body, Gu Yueli did not react in the slightest. It didn't seem to belong to him anymore, and even if it was scorched, it had to come to the end.
For the person he hates the most, this pain is nothing.
Gu Yueli walked across the river of fire with her eyes closed, and stepped on the solid ground on the other side of the river, before she opened her eyes. The beloved thing will not belong to the person he hates, Gu Yueli even doubted that he would not see anything even if he opened his eyes, it was better not to see it than to be like this.
The magic circle on the other side of the river unexpectedly appeared, Gu Yueli glanced back at the river of fire behind him, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and walked into the magic circle.
Behind the circle this time was a dense forest, and as far as the eye could see, there were trees of varying heights. Gu Yueli felt that there were more objects in his hand, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a spirit rune, and there was a line of small words on it:
Climb to the top. In distress, crush this charm.
This is probably what Old Man Ye said about the method of teleporting out the illusion when encountering the mortal realm. Gu Yueli put away the spirit rune, raised his head, and looked at the sky in the environment, no different from usual. People who cultivate the truth are really unpredictable, and they can actually open up such a large space, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, thinking of this, Gu Yueli not only yearns for it.
From time to time, the cries of wild beasts could be heard from the depths of the forest, telling him that the road would not be peaceful. Let's gather with the others and go up the mountain together, but I don't know if they will also appear from here, or if they have already passed and are already on their way up the mountain?
The clothes of the person who appeared were scorched, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Yueli, although he was not a teammate, but he naturally felt very kind to meet someone in such a situation.
"This brother, may I ask if anyone else is here here?" said to Gu Yueli.
Gu Yueli shook his head and said, "There was no one when I came down. ā
The man had a disappointed expression on his face and said, "So, thank you, brother." Then he walked up the mountain.
Isn't this person waiting for the team to go up the mountain together? Gu Yueli was secretly puzzled, but soon figured it out, many teams were formed temporarily, and they only used each other to use each other, and waiting for a few teammates who didn't know if they could pass the Ice and Fire Bridge, let alone when they could pass, was indeed not necessarily a good way.
But there are also people who are willing to wait for their teammates to appear, such as Gu Yueli, the only thing that surprised him was that he actually came out earlier than Youzi.
After a few hours, more and more people appeared, and some people chose to go up the mountain alone, while others chose to wait for their teammates, and the number of people at the teleportation point gradually increased.
Finally, a familiar face appeared, a familiar hood to be exact.
Qianlong didn't seem to be okay at all, not even his clothes were dirty, and when he saw Gu Yueli, he stepped forward, handed Gu Yueli a bottle with a shake of his hand, and said, "I didn't expect you to be faster than me, but it's not bad." This is the Blood Qi Pill, you can take it. ā
Gu Yueli waved his hand and said, "I have my own." After speaking, he took out the healing medicine bought in Yanyu City from his pocket and ate one. Qianlong glanced at the things in Gu Yueli's hand and withdrew the bottle.
Not long after, Ji Yiyan and Youzi Period also appeared one after another, if it was said that Ji Yiyan was just a little surprised to see Gu Yueli and Qianlong, Youzi Period couldn't believe it, he was actually the last to pass.
Youzi Qi stepped forward, straightened Gu Yueli's clothes, and said, "Good boy, I didn't expect your Taiyi Qingxuan to be so powerful!"
"Taiyi Qingxuan?" Gu Yue looked at Youzi Qi in confusion.
"Aren't you lucky to ward off the cold and avoid the fire?" You Ziqi glanced at the large scorched black on Gu Yueli's body, and exclaimed: "You won't come over directly, will you......?"
Although there is no flame on the river of fire, it is also with the steaming heat wave of the river of fire, and he can actually endure it for a few hours, is this person really long? Thinking that the first layer of Gu Yueli's Shaoyang Realm is hard piled up by the strength of three people, it is reasonable that he cannot use it freely. You Ziqi hurriedly checked Gu Yueli up and down, and found that there was no major problem except for some skin injuries, so he was relieved.
Ji Yiyan nodded and said, "Brother Yueli's willpower is extraordinary, and the future must be limitless. ā
Ji Yiyan spoke casually without malice, but it was quite harsh in Gu Yueli's ears, and he didn't respond at the moment.
Ji Yiyan ate a cold soup, and was quite embarrassed at the moment, so he quickly opened the topic and said: "Now that we have all gathered, let's go up the mountain." ā
The people nodded yes, and then picked the road and walked up the mountain.
