Chapter 127 Five-Story Tower
Wei Wenxue stayed inside the courtyard wall of the giant banyan tree for a long time.
When she came out, her clothes were a little messy and wrinkled, and she looked like she had squeezed through the crowd.
But in fact, Bai Su never felt that the box was far away. Wei Wenxue kept walking around the wall, and only walked back and forth near the banyan tree in the last few minutes.
Is that time enough to pray? It is definitely not enough.
"Sorry, there are too many people. I just came back." The flaxen-haired girl looked unhappy, "I almost couldn't breathe when I squeezed in."
As if she had reasonably explained the difference in her expression before and after, Wei Wenxue asked: "The prayer is over, what's next for us...?"
Bai Su's gaze passed over the upturned light-colored temples of the human woman, and passed far above the courtyard wall. Half of the dense tree crown was exposed from the top of the lime-gray bricks, and the chestnut curly hair also flickered before his eyes.<
/p>
"...An Xiangwen, what are you doing?"
"I'm tired from squatting and my legs are numb when I want to get up..."
"..."
It was Wei Wenxue who finally reached out to help An Xiangwen up. Bai Su obviously would not take the initiative to reach out.
After An Xiangwen stood up again, he took the initiative to take over the lively work: "I just discussed it with Brother Bai and planned to stay in the temple to have a meal and then stay overnight. Where are you, Miss Wei?"
Wei Wenxue replied slowly: "Let's go with you." She had no other choice.
After leaving the banyan tree, Wei Wenxue was still a little absent-minded. She was not in a good mood and looked around from time to time, not knowing what she was observing.
Calm down...don't be affected by what you saw before.
Wei Wenxue took a few deep breaths and followed the two people in front to the back mountain.
Back Mountain, as the name suggests, is the mountain behind.
There is a certain height difference from Shannan on the front, and a little platform has been artificially developed.
The building in front of Fuzhao Temple can be open to tourists, but the monks' residence and some strange structures built by themselves in the back are for private use.
When Baisu and the others were preparing to go to the temple, they encountered some obstacles.
The monk who blocked the road smiled, stared at them for a while, and confirmed their identity for the appointment.
"Ah, no problem. Donors, please go back and register your name again at the tower."
The monk stepped back, raised his hand, and stepped back. The ring scar on the top of his head, which was several colors darker than the other monks he had met, was exposed.
An Xiangwen said thank you repeatedly, and after leading Wei Wenxue for two steps, he discovered that there was someone missing from their team.
He turned around and saw the black-haired young man still standing there looking at the monk.
The two stared at each other, and the smile on the monk's face almost froze.
Monk blocking the road: What's the situation? Why don't people leave?
"Brother Bai!" An Xiangwen shouted from the front.
The black-haired young man's ears twitched slightly, and his black eyes as bright as stars glanced in the direction of the sound. Then Bai Su raised the corners of his lips at the monk, opened his mouth twice, and said something with his mouth.
Then Bai Su turned around and left the stunned monk on the spot.
He walked quickly and soon caught up with the other two humans.
When humans asked him why he stopped suddenly, Baisu replied: "Because he smelled something delicious."
"?"
"That monk should have come back from the pagoda." Bai Su urged, squinting his eyes, "Let's go quickly, I'm hungry."
……
An Xiangwen always felt that his brother Bai's hunger was Schrödinger's hunger.
As long as he wants to eat, he must be hungry.
As for the possibility of not being able to eat it? It doesn’t exist. If someone hadn’t been sitting at the same table, Brother Bai would have swallowed the bones!
An Xiangwen briefly had doubts about Bai Su's bite ability, but after swimming around on the Internet, he was relieved.
Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things happening nowadays. Isn’t it that Brother Bai has sharper teeth? It’s absolutely no problem!
However, do you have to walk so far to have a meal?
The starting level of the tower built on the back mountain is slightly lower, so the top of the five-story tower cannot be seen from the perspective of the mountain gate.
"So why is it built like this..." An Xiangwen walked down with some confusion, "They say it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down... Isn't this too steep?"
It was difficult to go down the steep slope. Due to inertia, An Xiangwen took several steps down and almost fell forward. In order to prevent himself from making the same mistake as An Xiangwen, Wei Wenxue carried the box and walked up the steps step by step.<
/p>
There is only one road leading to the tower, only a few dozen in total... not even a hundred steps anyway.
"Alas...why is Brother Bai so flexible?"
An Xiangwen stood in the middle of the long steps, crossing his arms sadly, and looked at the black-haired young man who was already standing at the door of the tower.
Bai Su walked up this steeply sloping staircase with ease. Now he was waiting at the door of the tower, watching other tourists walking inside.
Probably because he had been waiting at the door for a long time and was staring at the tower very persistently, the monk at the door came over and asked him if he had made an appointment and if he needed to go in.
"We have an appointment, but my friend is still behind." Bai Su pointed at the two figures in the distance who were tremblingly walking down the steps. "By the way, can I ask why Fuzhao Temple built the tower in this location?"
p>
This place is completely a platform at the foot of the mountain, and the highest spire is only half of the temple.
The monk listened to Bai Su's question and replied: "The upper part is not enough, so we built it downward. There is still room for people to live over there."
The monk pointed to the left and looked in the direction he pointed. He could see a narrow path that seemed to lead to an open area.
While Bai Su was chatting with the monk, the two humans behind him finally walked over. When their legs touched the flat ground, they felt a sense of being saved.
After communicating with the monks in front of the pagoda, they were welcomed into the pagoda.
The color of the colored glaze suddenly dazzled his eyes, and Bai Su squinted his eyes. The light fell through the window, casting a gilt-like halo that reflected on the wooden floor.
Inhaling the strong scent of sandalwood in front of my nose, I looked around and saw shelves lined with prismatic walls. Incense candles were lit on the shelves, and incense was burning in front of the candles.
Bai Su had a keen sense of smell and couldn't help but cover his nose.
Even humans sneezed twice violently. An Xiangwen pressed the tip of his nose and said angrily: "Is the smell too strong?"
It's so thick that it's like trying to cover something up with sandalwood.
No matter how itchy Baisu's nose was, he couldn't get rid of the smell of sandalwood. Fortunately, he got used to it after a while.
The hall where tourists eat vegetarian meals is on the third floor, and you need to take the stairs to go up.
The stairs here are not so hellish, and the wooden steps to the second floor are only a dozen or so steps.
"Brother Bai talked about this staircase structure." An Xiangwen suddenly noticed something and stood on the stairs and spoke, "If we walk separately, it might give the illusion that people have disappeared!"
Before Bai Su could speak, An Xiangwen ran down again. He stood at the bottom of the completely staggered stairs, his figure completely obscured.
"Look! This way you can't see it at all!"
Indeed, from where Bai Su stands now, no human being can be seen. If the influence of footsteps is excluded, the person behind him will be completely undetectable.
"A normal tower would be built like this?" Bai Su asked Wei Wenxue strangely.
"...No, it won't happen, right?" Although Wei Wenxue didn't know much about it, she felt that it probably wouldn't happen.
Chapter completed!
