59 Towers
Cheng Xiaoxiu's house is more like a "tower" than a "villa".
As soon as Long Lie stopped, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at this giant tower that was ten meters long.
It was as if the gods had suddenly placed a "chalk" here, a tall and thin cylinder, made of white bricks, but unfortunately over the years, the color had become old and mottled, and there were many moss and vines entwined with it.
If you take this tower to any place, I am afraid it can become a place of interest and a place of interest.
But it just sat here, and crashed into a group of giant trees around it, and this group of exaggerated trees was even more ostentatious than it, and finally lined the tower inconspicuously.
The withered green leaves and earthy yellow branches should have been sick when combined, but they have thick and strong trunks, and I am afraid that it will take dozens of people to join hands to go around in a circle, which makes Long Lie suddenly think of the "baobab tree" in his previous life.
"Does Cheng Xiaoxiu live in this kind of place?" Zhong Xuanyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Long Yan flashed her eyes and said, "Yes, don't you think it's cool and hot!"
Long Ran and Long Xu, who were on the side, subconsciously turned sideways and took the initiative to stay away from Long Yan.
This sentence came out of Sister Yan's mouth, and with her aesthetics, Long Lie felt that it was reasonable, so he was relieved.
Although they had the key, they still knocked politely on the door, but Cheng Xiaoxiu didn't seem to be at home. Zhong Xuanyang had no choice but to take out the key and carefully study the method of opening the door.
The shape of this key is peculiar, it is actually a small bone stick, and correspondingly, the gate of this tower does not have any traces of keyholes.
When everyone was at a loss, Zhong Xuanyang tentatively smashed the bone stick towards the door, but he didn't expect that it really touched the mechanism, and the door was moved away with a bang.
Before the door was completely opened, Long Ran took the initiative to say goodbye, "Then let's go first, and we'll contact you tomorrow if we have something" Long Xu even pulled Long Yan directly and left, so as not to let someone linger here.
Listening to Long Yan's constant protest behind him, Long Lie overflowed with a smile and turned into the tower.
As soon as the two of them stepped in, the door closed non-stop, but by this time, Long Lie was already completely intoxicated by the environment inside the tower.
At first, he thought that the tower would be divided into several floors, just like the usual high-rise buildings, with a standard division of the first floor and the second floor.
But unexpectedly, here is a hollow from beginning to end, under the ceiling of nearly six meters, you can see the top of the tower when you look up, the whole tower is only the ground this piece is suitable for living, and then above is the empty world, this monstrous sense of oppression, but want people to climb up.
The walls around this area are indeed set up with a climbing staircase that extends all the way to the top of the tower.
As for the round ground underfoot, it was quite empty, and there was hardly much furniture, so it was difficult to hit anything even if you rolled back and forth on the ground.
"Ahh
Long Lie followed his gaze and saw a white flower lying on the corner of the corner, lying on the ground, defenseless and extremely immoral.
Hearing Zhong Xuanyang's low roar, the man also woke up suddenly, and when he raised his head, it was Cheng Xiaoxiu's sleepy-eyed appearance.
Zhong Xuanyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately blocked in front of Long Lie, "Cheng Xiaoxiu, you don't wear clothes, what kind of hooligan are you playing?"
Cheng Xiaoxiu finally came back to his senses, and he defended with a bitter face, "No, I just fell asleep while cultivating!"
Long Lie walked over casually, "Fortunately, Sister Yan and the others didn't come in with them, otherwise you would definitely be tied up by the blue water snake now."
Cheng Xiaoxiu sat up and asked fearfully, "What about them?"
"Back to the house" Zhong Xuanyang looked him up and down, "Cheng Xiaoxiu, I didn't expect you to have this kind of habit at home, the young master and I should go and rent another house."
"Don't, I've been waiting for you for a long time" Cheng Xiaoxiu stood up anxiously, "Boss, you see that this house can be transformed into a kitchen, let's climb the ladder and sleep on it" He pointed to a few empty hammocks in the sky.
Only then did Long Lie notice that there were a few ropes above, and there were several wooden beds hanging from them, like bunk beds in a dormitory.
Looking at the simple and dangerous shape, Zhong Xuanyang frowned even more, no matter what the occasion, he was cautious and scrupulous in his duty to guard him. Long Lie felt extremely fresh, and asked with a smile, "What about your other roommates?"
Cheng Xiaoxiu's expression froze, "I don't have any other roommates, if you don't come to live, I can only stay alone in the empty room."
Hearing this strange wording, Zhong Xuanyang glanced at him speechlessly, "Doesn't your Cheng family still have brothers and sisters?"
Cheng Xiaoxiu shook his head, "None of them were admitted to Wangjin Academy, I am the only top student in the Cheng family."
As soon as he said this, Long Lie immediately couldn't help laughing, but then he thought that Cheng Xiaoxiu was still admitted by himself, and Long Lie, a relational household, seemed to be even less qualified to laugh.
After going back and forth, the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Long Lie finally agreed, "Then how do you collect the rent?"
As soon as he heard Long Lie relax, Cheng Xiaoxiu immediately smiled, "Since it's you, of course it's free."
Zhong Xuanyang said angrily, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief"
Cheng Xiaoxiu immediately shouted "Zhong Xuanyang, we can be regarded as brothers anyway, why do you smear me like this"
Long Lie started the round, "Okay, don't be a fortune boy, just quote a price honestly"
Cheng Xiaoxiu's attitude was surprisingly stubborn, "In the future, I will be able to rub the boss's cooking every day in the academy, and I still take a big advantage"
After all, the three of them finally left the rent behind and stayed for the time being.
It was late at night, and Long Lie and the others had been bumpy on the road for another day, and they were all tired and panicked at this time, so they were ready to go to bed directly after washing.
Cheng Xiaoxiu naturally highly recommended his wooden plank bed in the air, his Wind Falcon White Bone Fan has the [Wind + Dark] attribute, and he doesn't even need to climb the stairs, he waves a few black winds casually, and flies up with one of them.
Only then did Long Lie suddenly realize why Cheng Xiaoxiu chose such a strangely shaped tower as a house. From this point of view, this place is indeed very suitable for wind attribute summoners and contractors to cultivate.
Before the safety was verified, Zhong Xuanyang didn't think about the plank bed in the air at all, he skillfully took out the futon sheets from the storage and set up the bunk on the spot, and the beds of the two were completely side by side.
Let Cheng Xiaoxiu shout in the sky, they were unmoved, Cheng Xiaoxiu could only give up and turn off the lights casually.
As the lights dimmed, the light of the moon and stars came through the glass windows at the top of the tower.
I don't know what kind of material this window is, but it actually captures part of the brilliance of the "flowing starry sky" of the Starlight Continent, and projects it on the ground of the tower, no more, no less, just round, exquisite.
It is as if bathed in the starry sky.
"It's so beautiful..."Long Lie couldn't help but mutter, it was a special flavor to be able to live in this kind of place.
Not knowing where the person who built this tower was sacred, Long Lie suddenly wanted to get to the bottom of it and learn more about the history of this continent.
He subconsciously shrank into the bed, hoping that the story in the future could always be so warm, Long Lie imagined a little naively.
