200 Stone Towers
(Cat pounce Chinese Qiuqiu smiled and watched their interactions. The sun shone warmly, the scales of the fire glittered in the sun, and the edges of the big white hair were reflected in the sunlight into a transparent pale gold, as if to smear it with a layer of gold.
Dabai looks to be better than when they were separated. The seventh peak is full of spiritual energy, and both flowers and birds grow better here than elsewhere.
I haven't seen them for a while, and Qiuqiu also feels that she misses them very much.
Erbai led the children in the grass in front of the palace, and from time to time you could see snow-white hairballs haunting the green grass.
It's rare to be so relaxed these days.
Many things weighed heavily on my heart, the departure of Yuxia Zhenren, the destruction of the sect, and the turmoil in the capital...... One after another, none of them were a good thing, and even Elder Huang, who was always smiling, rarely saw a smiling face.
The little hairballs jumped out of the long grass, they can't be considered small hairballs now, normal rabbits grow so big, they have always been very nutritious, so they look much fatter and rounder than ordinary rabbits. However, Dabai and Erbai are on the large side, so these children still look like small hairballs one by one.
If Qiuqiu hadn't warned Da Bai Erbai in advance, so many rabbits would have settled down in the seventh peak to make holes and make nests, and the seventh peak would have to turn the seventh peak into a huge ** array.
Qiuqiu had an open book on her lap, and a small hairball the size of a palm jumped on her knee, and the soft pads on its paws stepped on Qiuqiu's legs, warm and soft, and very elastic.
Qiuqiu smiled and stroked its smooth fur.
The little furball rubbed Qiuqiu's palm with the top of his head.
Qiuqiu has a pure and abundant aura, and even if the little furball doesn't open up her spiritual wisdom and understand human nature like her parents, she is instinctively willing to get close to her.
Her breath makes them feel comfortable, and being with her is of great benefit to them.
Qiuqiu looked down at the book again, but after a while, she felt that her hands were itching.
The little furball's warm, moist little tongue was licking the edge of her palm.
"Don't be mischievous." Qiuqiu flicked it, and it obediently jumped off Qiuqiu's knee. But he was still reluctant to stay away, so he just lay on the corner of Qiuqiu's skirt. If you don't look closely, you probably won't really think it's a rabbit, and think it's the decoration on her dress.
Da Bai squatted on his two hind legs, and his two front paws were gesturing with Huo'er. It looks like you're pouring out your feelings to it. Huo'er's little head is little by little, and it can understand the meaning of looking white.
Qiuqiu remembered how she and Shi'er met Dabai.
This rabbit has always seemed so smart, so smart that it is almost not like a rabbit. It will risk death to steal things in the temple for the safety of Erbai and the child, and it will cleverly find a backer for itself.
Animals are sometimes much more sensitive than humans, and they are naturally aware of the need to seek advantage and avoid harm. Often, before the calamity comes, people are not aware of it. The animals were the first to notice.
It's a pity that in addition to selling cuteness, Qiuqiu hasn't found any role for them yet.
Looking at Shi'er's spirit pet, although Huo'er has been out of the shell for a short time, it can already come in handy. It can detect danger before it is approaching. The performance in the capital and in Shanye Mountain is very commendable. But they still only know how to eat, drink, roll and play.
Alas, it cannot be compared. Comparisons are odious.
They exchanged for a while. Huo'er jumped to the bottom of the steps and wagged her tail.
Its size swelled rapidly, turning into what it looked like in the early morning of the day in the Shan Karma Mountain. Mysterious, beautiful, and elongated with great power.
Big Bai Erbai jumped up and climbed on top of him, and the little furballs followed.
Huo'er turned around and let out a low roar at Qiuqiu, and then it leaped into the air.
Looks. Is it going to take its bunny friends for a ride?
Although I heard that the legendary dragons are very proud, Qiuqiu didn't show any temper. It is particularly good with Dabai, probably because it got along with Dabai Erbai's family when it first came out of the shell. So now it can even let these rabbits climb on their backs and fly with them.
Within the range of the seventh peak. Qiuqiu was not afraid that something would happen to them, so she only told her from afar: "Be careful, don't fall off." ”
Huo'er's body swirled in the air, slowly passing in front of Qiuqiu's eyes, and his calm appearance looked very elegant.
Of course, Qiuqiu, who is familiar with Huo'er's nature, knows that this guy just loves to perform.
It slowly skimmed between the two towers and climbed into the blue sky.
Don't you know that they are afraid of heights?
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Qiuqiu's mouth.
Then she froze.
Those two towers......
Was it in that location before?
Why didn't she seem to notice that there were two symmetrical stone towers in that location before?
But their appearance is not abrupt, as if they have always existed, but have been ignored.
Qiuqiu put down the book in her hand and squinted at the two towers.
It's strange why she had never seen them before, or rather, they had never been for her to see?
Qiuqiu summoned the water sword, and the blue light of the water sword quickly swept through the air.
The fire was frolicking in the air, just as it had been in the water.
It's only been a few years since it came out of the shell, and its age, whether it's calculated by human algorithms or the longevity of dragons, can only be regarded as an ignorant little doll, and it's normal to have a big heart. Da Bai Erbai was really a little afraid of heights, and he held the dragon tightly for fear of falling, but the little furballs were so excited that they squeaked loudly, as if they were shouting: "Higher, higher." ”
Huo'er's movements suddenly paused, and it turned its head to see the sword light sweeping across the sky.
It didn't hesitate at all, turned around and chased after the sword light.
The big white hair was deformed by the wind, and the big red eyes were full of tears...... How much it can't think about it, it will definitely die if it falls!
Qiuqiu's sword light hovered in midair.
The wind was strong in the air, and her clothes were blown backwards.
In front of her eyes were two towers.
The tower is divided into seven floors, and it does not look ornate, with an off-white appearance and the marks left by the erosion of time.
Qiuqiu had never seen them before.
The two towers have the same appearance and look almost like the same tower reflected in a mirror.
The fire fell on her. Da Bai immediately jumped off it.
Qiuqiu reached out and touched Da Bai's head.
Da Bai was very aggrieved, and his red eyes were full of tears.
"Good." Qiuqiu didn't have time to comfort it at this time.
She took a step forward, and Huo'er immediately followed.
"Do you want to see this tower too?"
The fire could not express its intentions, but its movements were unmistakable expressions of its wishes.
"Don't mess with me, or I'll take you back."
Huo'er nodded repeatedly.
The two doors in front of the tower slowly open inward.
Qiuqiu stepped in.
Huo'er followed her closely, as if she was afraid that she would be left behind by Qiuqiu if she took a step too slow.
The tower is empty, and several tall pillars support the tower. The tower was not made of bricks, but was made of huge stones. The stones have been cut and polished only in the most basic and simple ways, and they all look very rough, with very fine gaps between the stones. The pores are barely visible.
But Qiuqiu didn't see the stairs to the upper floor.
The tower was quiet, and the sunlight shone in through the narrow windows, casting into the ground. Where the sun shines, it shines, and where it doesn't, it's cold and dark.
The tower door closed silently and gently.
Qiuqiu turned her head and looked.
The stone door had been completely closed, leaving no trace. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to tell that the location turned out to be the tower gate.
Stairs up the stairs. It seems that she has to find it on her own.
Qiuqiu took a step forward. The fire followed at her feet.
This is the seventh peak, and the tower has seven floors.
The number seven is necessarily crucial.
What is the general purpose of a tower?
It may be used to worship or collect something, or it may be used as a symbol and commemoration.
Qiuqiu felt that the usefulness of this tower should be more inclined to the former. If it is symbolic or commemorating, it should be built in a more prominent place, or simply indicate it in the name of the tower and the architectural form.
If it's a collection of things. So what is the collection?
Book classics? Weapons?
These are all possible.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If you want to get a good thing, you have to show your strength to prove that you have the qualifications to get it.
Qiuqiu stood there, quietly observing the surroundings.
Stone walls, pillars, floors. And the top of the head, which looks seamless and seamless.
Everything here is static, solid, and looks like it may have been around for hundreds of years, if not longer. Time has passed, but nothing has changed.
And the only thing that has changed in the tower is probably the sunlight that comes in through the windows.
Time passes, and so does the imprint of sunlight on the ground. The spot now looks a little shorter than it was just now, gradually shifting.
Qiuqiu remembered that when she was a child, she used to play such a game, and she used chalk to trace a diamond shape along the light spots on the ground. After an hour, the place and size of the sunlight had shifted, and she traced another outline. The imprint of the rising sun is oblique and long, and by noon it becomes wide and short.
This game has probably been played by many people.
It's simple, and it's obvious.
Everyone has seen this kind of sight, and maybe not everyone has noticed this change.
It's something you see everywhere, it's commonplace.
But here, this is the only and precious clue.
Qiuqiu made a mark on the ground.
The shadow of the sun is skewed, and she makes another mark.
One by one, the marks are coherent, forming a natural arc.
Huo'er tilted her head and watched earnestly and quietly. (To be continued.) )
PS: The surgery was postponed, and if it can't be done this Friday then it will have to be postponed for another week.
Thank you all for your comfort and support, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Merry and safe Christmas to all. Cat flutter Chinese
