Chapter 16 View from the Observation Building Upstairs

The group of people wandered around Fahua Temple for a long time and almost saw all the main halls in the front yard, so they decided to go to the back yard to have a look.

Fahua Temple is different from Wu Zen Temple. Wu Zen Temple is built on the mountain, while Fahua Temple rises from the ground. Although you cannot stand on the top of the mountain and overlook the scenery around the entire temple, Fahua Temple has its own uniqueness.

The place is the observation tower.

The observation tower has existed since the beginning of the temple. In fact, it is an old tower, and it has a history of a hundred years. The tower is about thirty meters high, has about twenty floors, and the radius of the tower is three meters. Among the other towers

Among them, it is also a relatively large one. There are two passages on it, one is in the middle of the tower, and the other is the stone stairs that go up slowly around the tower.

The passage going up from the middle is made up of twenty wooden ladders, which are slightly tilted. At each floor, there will be open space around for rest, and the wooden ladders will be placed in different directions. In fact, this design has a purpose.

The emergency passage is mainly used in case of an emergency storm. It seems unsafe to walk through the outer circular passage. Of course, many people usually go up from the middle passage. After all, some people are not used to walking around.

Climb up in circles.

At this moment, Zhengyao and his party had arrived in front of the observation tower. They saw people everywhere, some climbing the tower, some sitting in the pavilion to rest, and some just like Zhengyao and his party walking around talking and laughing.

Along the way, Ning'an returned to the way she used to travel with Zhengyao. She always found it a bit incredible that Zhengyao could complete that poem. Every time she asked Zhengyao how he did it

When he came out, Zhengyao always said that he didn't know either.

He didn't know either? In Ning'an's opinion, Zhengyao was trying to be serious with him, and he was just fooling himself. So he stayed between Zhengyao and Liu Yan, asking Zhengyao and Liu Yan for a while, which made everyone around him feel that

This woman is really lively.

Xiao Xi was naturally also very happy. It seemed that the princess's inexplicable illness was cured just like that. She didn't know whether Mr. Liu's medicine was better or Mr. Li's medicine. But when Xiao Xi was in a daze,

Zhang Cheng patted her shoulder lightly, and then she realized that the princess, Zhengyao and others had gone far away, but she was still where she was.

"The century-old pagoda is indeed magnificent! Such an ingenious design is truly ingenious and unparalleled!!" Whenever he went to a place that was more imposing, famous or had some history, Zhang Cheng would chant like this,

I don't know if he is doing it on purpose or if it's just his character.

"Mr. Zhang, why do you always speak so politely? Has your father spoken to you like this since you were a child?" Xiao Xi also discovered Zhang Cheng's habit, so she asked without thinking.

"Um..." Zhang Cheng blushed for a while and lowered his head involuntarily, as if he was like a little girl waiting to be married, extremely embarrassed.

"Haha, okay, don't make fun of this kid. His moral character has never changed in the past ten years." Yuan Haiyun said immediately, not knowing whether he was trying to save Zhang Cheng or continuing to add insult to injury.

This caused another burst of laughter, and everyone had laughed enough today.

"Why don't we go up and take a look." Zhengyao turned around and said to everyone.

In fact, Zhengyao is very smart. You must know that most people pick up girls for excitement and romance. But now there is a high tower in front of you. If you are with one or two beauties on it, even if you don't pick up girls, it will be very comfortable. Moreover,

That kind of high and beautiful place is naturally indispensable for excitement and romance. Maybe because of the fear of heights, a beautiful woman will jump on top of her. Wouldn't that be... Hehe...

Thinking of this, Zhengyao couldn't help but chuckle, but he soon realized that he was a policeman, how could he have such dirty thoughts? However, in the end, Zhengyao still found an excuse for himself: the police can do it too

To pick up my sister.

Of course, Ning An and Zhu Luying didn't know Zheng Yao's obscene and slightly malicious thoughts at the moment. They suddenly thought it would be a pleasure to climb up the tower and enjoy the beautiful scenery around them, so they stood in front of Zheng Yao resolutely.

"Um...I think I won't go up. You guys go up, I'll wait for you below..." At this time, Yuan Haiyun said with some embarrassment. At the same time, his face was as red as Zhang Cheng had been before.

"No! You're not afraid of heights!" When Xiao Xi saw Yuan Haiyun like this, she looked at Yuan Haiyun in surprise and said. Yuan Haiyun nodded gently, expressing his acquiescence.

Now it was Zhang Cheng's turn to ridicule him, which involuntarily caused everyone to laugh again.

However, since Liu Yan came out of the lottery hall, he has never smiled again and has always looked listless. No matter what jokes people tell or how funny he behaves, Liu Yan just reluctantly purses his lips.

He smiled, then returned to his face that looked like a bitter melon.

"Well, I think I'll stay here with Haiyun. Actually, I'm also a little afraid of heights."

Liu Yan found a reason for himself that was not very reasonable and said calmly.

Liu Yan is afraid of heights? Only a fool would believe it. You must know that Liu Yan is a person with the ability of light kung fu. That day when he was chasing thieves in Feiyun Village at night, Xiao Xi saw it with his own eyes. A person can fly up to three meters easily.

Are you still afraid of heights when you are walking on high branches? However, no one pointed this out, not even Xiao Xi. After all, people have worries and it is normal not to go. You can't force yourself.

Perhaps because scholars are not active, Zou Cen and several other candidates from the Shuzhou Guild Hall who came here with everyone did not seem to want to climb so high, and they all expressed their intention to stay and rest. As a result, they wanted to go upstairs.

There are only six people, Zhengyao, Zhu Luying, Ning'an, Xiaoxi, Zhang Cheng and Wu Dan.

Zheng Yao had to shake his head and sighed: Hey, this is an otaku. He shuts himself in the house on weekdays, but in the end he is not even willing to climb a high tower. It turns out that this otaku is not unique to my era!

The six of them didn't say much, and simply took advantage of the fact that it was still early to experience the scenery at the top of the tower, so they headed straight to the entrance at the bottom of the tower.

When they walked to the door, everyone was a little embarrassed. When they saw that there were two passages, one inside and one outside, which one should they choose?

In Zhengyao's opinion, although there are many scenery along the road outside, it is not very safe. If there are too many people and something happens in the middle of the crowd, it will be bad. Even if you can't see anything inside, at least it is safe.

I can guarantee that the most important thing is to go straight up and down. When climbing the stairs, you may have physical contact with a certain sister, so...

So Zhengyao decisively chose to take the inner passage. Whether it was Ning'an or Zhu Luying, they were the least independent in this kind of thing. Seeing Zhengyao taking the inner passage, he followed it without thinking. And this one

At that time, Zhang Cheng didn't want to go inside, so he discussed with Wu Dan to go outside. Wu Dan was very casual, so the two teamed up to go up.

As for Xiao Xi, he is in a bit of a dilemma. He believes that he has martial arts and light skills. He doesn't have to worry about anything when he goes outside. Moreover, he can see many beautiful scenery outside. Naturally, he wants to take the outside passage. But Ning'an doesn't.

It was inside, which was a bit surprising to her, so she stood there with some embarrassment.

"Xiao Xi, why don't you leave?" Ning An immediately urged when he saw Xiao Xi not moving. At this moment, Zheng Yao saw through Xiao Xi's thoughts and whispered in Ning An's ear.

For a moment, I didn't know what he was talking about, but soon Ning An seemed to understand something and said, "In that case, then you should follow Mr. Zhang and the others, but you still have to be careful!"

"Oh, I got it, miss!" Xiao Xi felt so happy when she heard what Ning An said, so she immediately chased after Zhang Cheng and the others.

Zhu Luying was a little confused, so she whispered in Zhengyao's ear and asked: "What were you quietly saying to Ning An just now?"

When Zhengyao heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "I said that Xiao Xi is in love with spring and has a secret crush on Zhang Cheng."

"No! Hahaha~~~"

Even Zhengyao laughed, it was just a joke.

The three of them laughed and walked away, and soon arrived at the entrance of the passage.

In the middle passage, the light was relatively weak, but fortunately there was an oil lamp for illumination, so at least it would not be blind. Zhu Luying was the most impatient, so she was the first to climb up, followed by Ning'an, and finally Zhengyao.

I don’t know whether it was Ning An who deliberately caused trouble or Zheng Yao who took advantage of the situation. Every time Ning An climbed up a step, he would pause, but Zheng Yao didn’t notice it every time he climbed up, and ended up turning his head every time.

He bumped into Ning An's butt. He could only hear Ning An keep saying "lighter, lighter", while Zhengyao was saying "faster, faster", which made Zhu Luying who was climbing on the top embarrassed.

Sorry, if I didn't look back, I would have thought the two of them were doing something inside the stairs...

In this way, the two of them shouted every word, while Zhu Luying listened and laughed secretly. After a while, the three of them finally arrived at the resting pavilion, which was only one floor away from the top floor.

The three of them seemed to feel a little tired on the platform, and they all took a breath, so they took a rest here.

At this time, a middle-aged man about forty years old came down from upstairs. He seemed to have acne on his face, and there were bursts of pus overflowing on his left cheek. He looked really disgusting. The man walked slowly

There was also a very strange smell as I walked, probably the smell of alcohol.

"A sneeze -" Zhengyao sneezed involuntarily, then looked at Ning An awkwardly, then at Zhu Luying, and finally looked at the man with a smile on his face.

When the man saw that there were actually three people here, he couldn't help but be startled. However, seeing the smile on Zhengyao's face, the man smiled back.

And Zhengyao saw that the man's face was a little flashy, probably because climbing the stairs was very tiring, so he immediately made way for the man, and at the same time nodded, gesturing for him to go down.

The man also nodded slightly to express his thanks. It was strange that no one spoke, but an exchange was completed.

Finally, the man climbed down slowly step by step. However, Zhengyao found that the man's steps were very steady, and he didn't seem like an ordinary old man. However, Ning An seemed a little anxious to go upstairs, and after yelling, he started.

After Zhengyao's thoughts were interrupted, Zhengyao immediately came back to his senses. Seeing that the three of them had also rested for a while, it seemed that they were almost done, so he immediately continued to climb up.

The last floor was quickly reached, and after all three people climbed up, they all breathed a sigh of relief. On the other side, Zhang Cheng and three others walked over slowly.
Chapter completed!
