Chapter 918: Ninety Percent
That night, Zuo Yang somehow finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, when the sun had just broken over the horizon, the old man had already woken him up, and at the same time served him porridge that had just been boiled in a ceramic tea jar, as well as some dry food.
Zuo Yang came out of the tent, even in the early morning, the sun was slightly dazzling, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and there was no dead sunrise in the direction of sunrise...... According to the common sense that even elementary school students know, it is destined to be a sunny day and a clear sky.
"Uh...... Senior, will this kind of weather catastrophe really appear? ”
Zuo Yang took a bowl of porridge and asked with some worry while sucking.
"Don't worry, the old man's stargazing skills have never gone wrong, and what should come will always come."
The old man smiled unsadly.
"That's good."
Zuo Yang nodded.
"Hurry up and finish eating and go on the road, we have to arrive at the place where the thunderstorm appeared in advance."
The old man continued, but as he spoke, he kept staring at Zuo Yang's face, and he didn't know what he saw, and he always had that smile on his face that he couldn't tell what it meant.
"Senpai? Is there anything wrong with my face? ”
Zuo Yang said with some curiosity, this feeling of being seen through was really unaccustomed to him.
"It's okay, it's good."
The old man finally withdrew his gaze and shook his head with a smile.
Very good?
What do you mean by good?
Although Zuo Yang didn't know what the old man saw in his face, there was definitely something wrong with the old guy's "Mona Lisa smile"!
It's just that the old man refused to say, and Zuo Yang knew that he couldn't ask anything if he continued to ask, so he simply stopped asking.
Instead, he silently used a lotus seed to make a divination on his fortune on this trip.
Flat!
The result is still a "flat" that is not good or bad, which is equivalent to not counting, but it can also rule out some very unfavorable things, and it is still necessary to take one step at a time.
In this way, Zuo Yang finally felt a little relieved.
After a simple breakfast, the two of them put out the fire that had been made once and for all, and then discarded the tent they had brought with them the day before, and left them in their place except for the tent, and some other things that they would definitely not need in the future.
When they went on the road, the two of them only brought some necessary magic weapons and props for drawing talismans, which was the real light travel.
The old man casually picked up two sticks from the ground, one for himself, and the other for Zuo Yang, so that walking in the mountains where there is no road at all can save a lot of effort.
Thus they passed through a dense forest, and crossed a stream made of snow, and at about eight o'clock in the morning, the two of them finally began to walk higher.
According to the old man's introduction, they have now entered the realm of the "Wild Horse River", and the mountain they are climbing now is the only high ground of the "Wild Horse River", and the top of the mountain is the place where the clouds are about to appear.
"Hmmm......"
In the end, the air pressure and thin air of the plateau still brought some burden to Zuo Yang's body, especially after driving for so long, he now has a little difficulty even speaking, but fortunately, this mountain is not too high, and the mountain is relatively gentle, Zuo Yang can still withstand it, as long as he gets to the top and rests a little, there should be no problem.
"Do you want to take a break, we can go up to the top of the mountain in about an hour at our current speed, and there is still plenty of time."
The old man asked with a smile.
Unlike game otaku like Zuo Yang, the old man has always lived in Kunlun Mountain, and he has long been accustomed to the environment here, and he is even more handy than Zuo Yang, a young man.
"No, let's go up and talk about it."
Zuo Yang naturally refused to admit defeat, shook his head and said.
So the two of them continued on their way, so that by nine o'clock they had finally reached the predetermined place.
"Hoo ——!"
Panting, Zuo Yang straightened his waist and looked around, although he didn't say that he had the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance, and he could see everything around him, but his vision was still much better than when he was in a hurry before, at least it was not so depressing.
It's just that the sky is still clear.
The sun was shining on Zuo Yang's body, and there was still a feeling of heat, and even his vest was oozing a lot of sweat...... This Zuo Yang knows that the temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is relatively large, and because of the thin ozone layer, the sunlight is naturally hotter than other places, and the ultraviolet rays are also stronger.
But that's not a problem, the problem is that it's only two hours until noon at most, and the sky is still clear......
"Don't worry, it's not time yet, it's time to come, it's coming."
The old man knew what Zuo Yang was thinking, but he still looked like the old god was there, and while drinking water with a kettle, he said without sadness or joy.
……
Time flies.
At 11 o'clock, that is, noon, finally arrived in the waiting of Zuo Yangwang's eyes.
"It's coming."
The old man didn't show any excitement, just sat there and looked up at the sky above him, and said in a calm tone.
In fact, there is no need for the old man to remind him, Zuo Yang, who has been waiting, has already noticed the change in the sky.
I saw that in the sky directly above them, as if a small hole had been suddenly poked open by some force, a black cloud suddenly appeared.
In the shape of this cloud, it was a cyclone that was slowly spinning, as if it was about to suck something in.
"This is Cloud Robbery?"
Zuo Yang stared at the cloud with wide eyes, eager to gain enlightenment about the tribulation from it.
But the old man said again: "Don't worry, although this calamity cloud has appeared, it will take more than half an hour to really come, and the appearance of the thunder tribulation also takes time to brew, you just need to wait calmly, there is definitely enough time to make a decision, but the old man still said that, you have an eighty percent probability of giving up the tribulation, but now, I'm afraid it will be nine." ”
"What do you mean?"
Zuo Yang was even more strange in his heart, this probability still increases over time?
"You'll know when the time comes."
The old man smiled mysteriously, but he didn't say anything.
At this point, neither of them spoke, but looked up at the gradually growing and lowering clouds gradually pressing towards their heads, and the atmosphere gradually became depressing with the spectacular scene of the dark clouds pressing down.
Meanwhile.
A small group of people finally appeared next to the stream that Zuo Yang and the old man had just passed by.
"It should be there, hurry up."
Shen Xinyue and Black Tan took the lead, and Chen Yi, the ink thrush, the Queen of Dry Things, and the brothers and sisters Xia and Long Xiaokui followed behind, helping each other into the icy stream.
