56. Stupid

During the Mountain God Festival, every household is fully dispatched, so the ox cart has already been booked first.

The families who did not book the ox cart were like Aunt Gu's family, and the whole family had lunch early, brought dry food, and took the No. 11 bus together.

The four of Kagome set off after lunch, and when it took more than an hour to arrive at Taoyuan City, it was not the earliest.

When they arrived, countless tall wooden platforms had been erected on all sides of Taoyuan City, where people could sit on the high platforms and watch the tower.

However, this wooden platform is not free, and you need to pay a certain amount of money to be allowed to enter.

In addition, the higher the location, the wider the view, the more things that need to be paid.

Of course, there are also places where you don't need a penny, and if you walk a hundred meters back, there is a large slope made of stone and earth, which is a free place to watch the tower.

That place is a bit out of the way, if the position is not high enough, it is easy to be blocked by the people on the wooden platform, if you want to sit there must be early!

"Boss, let's go to the back and take a look first, and see if there is a good position?" Aunt Gu said in a low voice.

Uncle Yang nodded, and the four of them walked towards the dirt slope behind.

They came early, and as luck would have it, there were still some places left in the high places.

Aunt Gu was overjoyed when she saw it, and hurriedly walked a few steps to occupy a middle position with her buttocks, and kept waving to Kagome and them, signaling them to hurry up and grab the position!

Kagome wanted to cover her eyes, there were so many places here!

In the end, the three of them sat in a row with Aunt Gu, watching more and more people gather around them.

Aunt Gu triumphantly saw that the person who came late had no good position, so she could only succumb to the bottom, and even could only run to the wooden door to spend money to occupy a position.

Kagome's eyes wandered around, trying in vain to find Qin Yi and the four of them, but in the vast sea of people, crowded, how easy was it to find the four people?

Until the sun set in the west, Kagome didn't see anyone she was looking forward to.

At the beginning of the night, a figure suddenly rose slowly in the center of Taoyuan City, his wide-sleeved robe, long beard, and green silk fluttering by the night breeze, adding a fairy aura for no reason.

"City Lord!"

Whether they were left in their own homes in the city, sitting on high wooden platforms, or crowded on the dirt slope at the back, everyone got up and blessed their bodies, and shouted one after another.

Kagome also made a blessing with him, and secretly admired in his heart, the prestige of this city lord is quite high!

Legend has it that all the people in Taoyuan have received the attention of the mountain gods since they were born, and each city lord must be a person who is highly respected and loved by everyone!

The city lord twisted his beard with one hand, and slightly swung around with the other hand to greet everyone, with a masterful posture.

Everyone immediately stopped shouting and sat down, and the city lord took out a small tower from his wide sleeve and threw it into the air-

In the night, the tower was suspended in mid-air, the body of the tower emitted a slight pale yellow halo, and its size continued to skyrocket, getting bigger and bigger!

At the same time, in the four directions of Taoyuan City, thousands of flowers and trees are blooming together!

Fireworks surrounded the tower, and the crowd was filled with shouts of excitement.

Even though Taoyuan people will watch this grand scene once a year, everyone still widens their eyes and does not blink their eyes, for fear that they will miss any wonderful link and not see it!

Kagome also couldn't take his eyes off it, this Tower of Babel was so good as soon as it appeared, it seems that the difficulty of climbing the tower is definitely not false.

The height of the Tower of Babel continued to skyrocket, and soon everyone had to look up to see the whole picture.

Half an hour later, even if you bend your neck into an arched bridge, you can't see the top of the tower, the tower is too high!

Kagome withdrew her gaze and twisted her head to rest her stiff and sore neck for a moment, just as the tower was shining brightly, and the uncountable light peeked out of the tower, extending from the base of the tower to the ground.

These rays of light are transformed into transparent staircases, which can be climbed by simply choosing one of the towers.

The transparent staircase gradually changed from virtual to solid, and the color gradually darkened, turning into a jade-colored staircase, firmly fixed around Taoyuan City.

"It's done!"

"You'll be able to climb the tower soon!"

"Ha, I'm going to break the record this time!"

The crowd began to stir again, and the passionate words drifted into Kagome's ears, and she couldn't help but clench her fists and her heart surge—is this about to begin?

Next to the tower, the hands of the city lord pressed down slightly, and the elegant middle-aged man's voice resounded in the sky, "Mountain God Festival, start climbing the tower!" ”

With that, City Lord Fang slowly descended and fell back to the ground.

In the crowd, there were already young men and women who couldn't hold back and were ready to move, and as soon as they saw the city lord leaving, they flocked to the nearest staircase, and some of them sat steadily, not in a hurry for a moment.

Most of the people were onlookers, smiling and watching from the sidelines, and some even took out their own snacks and watched them with relish while eating.

"Xiaowei, aren't you going to participate?" Aunt Gu asked strangely when she saw that Kagome was not moving.

"Auntie, I'm not in a hurry!" Kagome smiled indifferently, her eyes falling on the stairs not far away.

Some of them have already begun to climb the stairs, climbing up as fast as apes.

Gradually, there are more and more people on the stairs, and the people who climb the stairs seem to be competing with each other.

This group of young and energetic boys and girls!

Kagome's gaze fell on the crowd climbing the stairs, and she intuitively felt that this staircase would not be so simple, so easy to let everyone into the tower?

Sure enough, one of the boys at the top of the stairs suddenly slipped and fell upside down......

"Ahh An exclamation broke through the air, and at the bottom of the tower, a net emitted a ghostly light to reveal his figure, catching the fallen boy.

The boy was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was wandering around on the Internet, and he still couldn't react, and his mind suddenly remembered his father's earnest advice, "Boy, don't be in a hurry to get to the tower, take your time!" ”

He suddenly cried out, tears and snot on his face, he was so embarrassed that he was eliminated without even entering the tower!

The boy's fall seemed to turn on a switch, and from time to time someone accidentally fell, either sand or moss suddenly appeared under their feet, or the staircase suddenly became hollow for people to step on in the air, and all kinds of situations were frequent.

However, the "net" at the bottom of the tower can always accurately catch the people who fall, so that there are no casualties, but it is a little bit of skin.

The people who climbed the stairs suddenly became vigilant, and their speed decreased sharply.

"Auntie, I'm going!" Kagome then stood up.

"Xiaowei, you have to be careful!" Aunt Gu hurriedly said.

Uncle Yang and Baked Cake also looked at her with concern.

Kagome nodded, walking up the stairs.
