Chapter 234 1 Cent Missing
Chapter 234 1 Cent Missing
Chu Xinglan frowned and felt a moment of palpitations.
He raised his head and looked at the mountain wall in front of him, which was still covered with snow and no other color. For a moment, he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Not only him, but Chen Rui who was walking in front of him also noticed this and turned around and said.
"The temperature here seems to be wrong. Normally, the temperature on a snowy mountain should get lower as you go higher. The sudden rise in temperature is a bit abnormal."
Upon hearing this, Yizhen, who was leading the way in front, immediately spread out his spiritual sense and explored in the direction of the top of the mountain.
But obviously, nothing was found.
"Everyone, be careful. We are almost halfway up the mountain. If there is any problem, we will probably be able to see it there."
Chu Xinglan and the other person nodded, and everyone became more alert, taking straight and steady steps.
Chen Rui suddenly muttered quietly: "This snow mountain is not a volcano, right? When we reach the middle of the mountain or even higher, it will trigger some conditions and suddenly erupt."
Although he spoke in a low voice, Chu Xinglan, who was following closely behind him, heard every word he said and immediately became furious.
However, considering that the noise was too loud and might cause an avalanche, he tried to shout into Chen Rui's ear as quietly as possible.
"Hurry up and say 'bah, bah, bah'. Is that something you can say? Do you know what it means that good things don't work but bad things do?"
Chen Rui was a little at a loss for words, but he still did as he said and spat three times.
Then he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I don't know this and can't say it, I just..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Xinglan covered his mouth.
"From now on, don't say anything, and get rid of all those dangerous thoughts in your head."
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Rui took his words as his guiding principle. He did as he was told without even asking why, and followed Yizhen up the stairs seriously.
He was quiet, but Chu Xinglan's heart was not calm.
He couldn't help but look up at the top of the mountain, but because the mountain was too steep, he couldn't see it clearly.
But the word "volcano" that Chen Rui mentioned kept circling in his mind, and he always felt that this might really come true.
Although they are cultivators, they are all Jindan cultivators. So, they should not be so powerless when facing natural disasters.
At least they should be able to protect themselves, but Chu Xinglan just had a bad feeling. Such a huge snowy mountain, a snowy mountain that was forced to climb by the black-robed man, can they really leave safely?
But Chu Xinglan soon realized what he was thinking, his face became even uglier, and he couldn't help but glare at Chen Rui who was disturbing his mind.
After that, he quickly poured out these messy thoughts from his mind, followed Chen Rui and the others, and walked towards the halfway point of the mountain.
This time, perhaps because the temperature had risen and even the biting cold wind had weakened a little, their speed was much faster than before they rested.
After walking for about half an hour, we suddenly found a bulge on the mountain wall in front of us, with a gentle platform extending horizontally.
Looking from below, there is more than enough space for dozens of people to stand there.
The three of them all had happy expressions on their faces, and even their steps became lighter. It only took a short while for them to reach the platform.
Only after Chu Xinglan stepped onto the platform did he feel like he was down to earth, and he felt much more at ease in his heart.
There was nothing strange on the platform. It was covered with snow like the entire snow mountain, and the thickness was almost up to Chu Xinglan's knees.
He took out his sword and dug at the snow on the ground. In the exposed part, he could faintly see green, like moss.
In order to prevent these things from causing any accidents, Chu Xinglan carefully checked them and found that they were just ordinary plants, so he didn't care about them anymore.
Yizhen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Have you noticed that the thickness of the snow seems to be much thinner than before?"
"Especially after the snowstorm just now, the snow should be deeper up here."
Chu Xinglan and the other person were attracted by his words and looked in his direction.
Then they saw Yizhen measuring something with his fingers, then he took out a handkerchief to wipe the snow water off his hands, turned around to look at them, and said with certainty.
"One cent less."
Chu Xinglan: “???”
Chen Rui: “???”
Chu Xinglan felt that Yizhen was teasing him. How much is one centimeter? It's not one centimeter, it's three millimeters, right?
Are Yizhen's eyes and fingers a vernier caliper?
Moreover, he confirmed again and again that Yizhen's expression was very serious and he was very sure about this conclusion.
Regardless of whether Yizhen is right or not, what is the impact of this one centimeter less thickness? I am afraid that if there is a gust of wind, the one centimeter difference will appear.
Chu Xinglan was puzzled, not to mention Chen Rui. This guy had never even been to school when he was a child, and his eyes were as red as mosquito coils.
Yizhen didn't get the response he expected and became a little anxious.
"Do you know what this means? It means that the volcano Chen Rui mentioned is very likely real."
Afterwards, Yizhen elaborated on his views in detail from various angles and aspects. His arguments were well-reasoned and his analysis was logical.
Chu Xinglan and Chen Rui were like primary school students, looking at him with clear and stupid eyes. When Yizhen looked at them, they all nodded subconsciously, as if they really understood.
In fact, my mind is already wandering at this moment.
Chen Rui was thinking about the possibility of going to Cangqiong Mountain and the situations he might face after leaving here.
Chu Xinglan couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was the first time he discovered that Yizhen actually had the habit of being a know-it-all.
I heard that Yizhen is the one who leads the morning classes at Hanshan Temple now, and he also spends an hour every day giving lectures to the disciples of Hanshan Temple.
I can only say that this may be an occupational disease.
After Yizhen finished his speculation, he made a summary and then looked at the two of them and asked.
"have you understood?"
In an instant, Chu Xinglan and Chen Rui both came back to their senses and said in unison: "I understand."
Upon hearing this, Yizhen finally nodded in satisfaction, and a satisfied smile appeared on his cold and elegant face.
Chu Xinglan: “…”
I'm a little angry, what should I do?
The next second, Chu Xinglan raised his hand and asked seriously: "So, it really is a volcano, what should we do now?"
"Although we still don't know what the route of this snowy mountain is and how to leave it, we already know that we must not retreat. Even if we retreat and escape this time, we still have to climb this snowy mountain."
Chen Rui looked at him in admiration and quickly raised his hand like him: "Right, what should we do now?"
