Chapter 26: Tianqing Temple (Part II)
"Let go of me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"Miss, you can't go out."
Two small girls in front of the other side hall of Tianqing Temple were pulling.
"I command you, let me go!"
The lower little girl crossed her waist and stared at the maid in front of her with big eyes, and said angrily.
"Miss."
The slightly taller little maid uncomfortably let go of the hand that had just pulled the young lady's arm, and said contradictory with her head down.
"The master has ordered, don't let you run around."
"How big is this Tianqing Temple? I didn't go out, I just walked around the temple, how can it be considered a mess. β
"But the old man said ......"
"Don't open your mouth and shut your mouth, it's the master who said that the master said, and the master also said that I was not allowed to go out for half a year, and it has only been half a month, and I won't come out too."
The low little girl poked her finger at the little girl's head, and when she said that she was not allowed to go out, she stomped her foot angrily, and then turned her head and walked out.
"Missβ"
The little maid saw that she couldn't stop her, so she wanted to follow behind the young lady.
"Stop, you've hit me! Don't follow me, I'll go on my own. β
When the little girl saw that the little maid was still following her, she stopped suddenly, and as soon as she turned around, the little maid who was caught off guard behind her bumped into her.
"But Miss ......"
"No, but. Am I Miss or are you Miss? Don't follow me! β
The low little girl snorted and walked towards the outside of the courtyard of the side hall, leaving the little maid standing there alone.
Throwing off Liu Xun, Liu Yong walked around the temple alone. It's a pity that there are too many soldiers standing guard today, and many places are guarded and not allowed to enter, and Liu Yong can only bypass.
After a while, he turned to the foot of the tower.
Liu Yong raised his head and looked at the nine-story tower erected on the platform, very interested.
The last time I climbed the tower, I was only four or five years old.
Liu Yong searched his mind for his memories of Fantai. Because it is not far from Meng Banxian's private school, Liu Yong can see the towering tower in the sky every day after school. But the number of times he went to Tianqing Temple was only a handful, and his mother preferred to take him to Xiangguo Temple in comparison.
The pagoda does not prohibit pilgrims and tourists from climbing the pagoda, but the underground palace where the relics are placed is usually not open. There is an old monk living next to the tower, and his daily work is to sweep away fallen leaves, sprinkle water and dust on the platform.
The old monk was carefully sweeping the ground of Fantai with a broom, and when he saw that Liu Yong was about to go up to the tower, he didn't care, and continued to sweep the floor with his head down.
Liu Yong approached the Fan Pagoda, and saw the dense Buddha bricks on the tower wall, which is one of the characteristics of the Fan Pagoda, a brick and a Buddha.
The main entrance of the tower is the south gate, you can enter the underground palace from here, but you can't go up the tower from here, you have to climb the brick pedal road from the left and right sides of the north gate hole, you can reach the odd layer of the tower, until the ninth layer of the top of the tower. However, from the north gate, you can not enter the double number of floors of the tower, if you want to climb the double number of floors, you must spiral up along the outer wall of the tower with a width of about two feet outside the singular layer, climb inside and rotate outside, such as entering the maze.
Liu Yong is a little afraid of heights, although he is playful, he is not bold enough to climb outside the tower, so he naturally will not look for excitement. Entering the tower from the north gate, the light dimmed instantly, and only a few oil lamps hung on the walls on both sides of the staircase gave a faint glow.
The stairs in the tower are steep and narrow, and there are no handrails, and Liu Yong is out of breath after climbing two floors.
Because today is the Midyear Festival, far from the grand scale of Xiangguo Temple, Tianqing Temple can be said to be "chartered" by the royal family, there are many fewer pilgrims and tourists who come to burn incense, and it is the afternoon, Liu Yong did not meet a person in the tower for half a day.
"This is the fifth layer ......"
"This is the seventh layer ......"
"The ninth floor... Obediently, you can be regarded as climbing to the top.
Ay? It's you? β
It took Liu Yong at least a stick of incense to climb to the top of the tower, and was about to find a place to rest, when a somewhat familiar little face appeared in front of him - isn't this the little girl who was lost like herself on the day of Qixi Festival.
"Huh? It's you little brat. β
The little girl looked at Liu Yong for a long time, recognized it, and said with some surprise.
"You are so unreasonable, I kindly helped you find your family, and bought you 'grain board' and 'water float', why do you say that I am a little child."
Liu Yong completely climbed out of the stairs, took a few steps inside, and said to the little girl unconvinced.
"No, Miss Ben said you're a little kid, you're a little kid."
The little girl said arrogantly.
"You!
No wonder Confucius said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, good men don't fight with women, and I don't talk back to you. β
Liu Yong patted the dust on his body, moved closer to the little girl, stretched out a hand and said:
"Bring it."
"Bring what?"
The little girl asked in surprise.
"My gown. It was raining that day, you were wet, and I was worried that you would put on you if you were cold, so pay me back now. β
Liu Yong reminded.
"Oh, that gown, I saw it in tatters, so I threw it away."
The little girl said casually.
"You! It's my new clothes, and they're in tatters! β
"Why not? Even the embroidery on it has run the line, and the stitches are not as good as my maid's. β
The little girl shrugged her shoulders and said.
β......β
Liu Yong looked at the little girl in front of him speechless for a while, feeling that she was even more hateful than Yang Zhang, who was slapped by Meng Banxian.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Yong took advantage of the little girl's inattention and suddenly reached out to pick up her clothes, and the little girl suddenly panicked.
"Don't do anything, take your clothes to pay off the debt!"
Liu Yong took off the pink embroidered short gown that the little girl was wearing, formed a ball, and stuffed it into her sleeve.
"You!"
"What are you, this is called debt repayment, it is natural, do you understand it."
Liu Yong stuffed the gown into his sleeve for a long time, but before he could put it in, he gave up decisively, then took it in his hand, shook it at the little girl, and prepared to leave.
"You're not allowed to go down!"
The little girl held the staircase that was only two ties wide and did not let Liu Yong come down.
"Why? Is this the road your family built? β
"You give me back your clothes, and I'll let you go down."
The little girl pouted.
"Hmph."
The staircase was too narrow, and Liu Yong saw that he couldn't get through, so he was not in a hurry, so he found an open space next to the window and sat down.
"If you don't let me go down, I won't go down, anyway, the scenery on the top of this tower is good.
Ah! Obediently drop, why is it so high! β
Liu Yong poked his head out of the window, and saw that the houses below were the size of red beans, and the soldiers standing guard were like ants. In the distance, you will see the castle walls of the inner castle of Tokyo, and further inside, there is an "iron tower" that is only about the waist height of the pagoda, and it is the Kaihoji Pagoda.
Without waiting to take a closer look at Liu Yong's fear of heights, the symptoms of fear of heights obviously attacked, looking at the dense patch below, his heart seeped straight, and he quickly turned around and shouted loudly.
