Volume 2 A Sword Dream Chapter 221 The Bell Tower Presses the Lotus
Probably because he is a healer, Baili Changfeng is particularly sensitive to time, sensitive to the point of accurate minutes and seconds.
As he himself said, he has always been a particularly punctual person, and it seems that in his world, time is life. Oh, no, I should say that in the world of healers, time is life.
Therefore, what he hates the most is waiting, because waiting often makes people feel inexplicably anxious and irritable, which is something that no one wants to accept with peace of mind. But there must be exceptions to everything, such as a hundred miles of wind, no matter how disgusted he is, but every time he comes back to Xiaoxin Tower, he has always been waiting, waiting for the old monk to sweep every inch of ground here.
He obviously knows very well what the old monk is doing at what point in time, but every time, he has to come for a while early, in order to wait for this period of time, and he is also using this period of time to meditate, because every time he waits this time, there will be an indescribable peace in his heart, which is a feeling as if he is in a paradise.
He likes it.
For the old monk, this time was precisely his biggest headache. Originally, in ordinary times, his heart had already stopped water, but whenever a hundred miles of wind came to Xiaoxin Tower, his quiet heart lake seemed to be thrown into a small stone, and there would always be a trace of ripples.
Every time he saw the figure of Baili Changfeng appear on this city wall, he would always pray silently in his heart, hoping that this time he was just passing by here, although he knew very well in his heart that after a while, Baili Changfeng would climb to the third floor of Xiaoxin Tower, but every time he couldn't help but hope that it would appear.
There is an old saying that says, "If you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace". This sentence is very coincidental when applied to Baili Changfeng, he has always been a doer and never does anything meaningless. Whenever he appears here, it means that his trouble is coming again.
The old monk knew that Baili Changfeng came here for only one purpose, that is, for the monster below, which was undoubtedly a dilemma for him, not to mention that he was still a person who hated choices.
It is true that Baili Changfeng is a brother who has a lifelong friendship with him, but because of this, he is not involved in danger like Baili Changfeng, so every time Baili Changfeng comes here, he always finds various reasons to prevaricate the past, and every time Baili Changfeng steps on the third floor of Xiaoxin Building, he is not unaware, but he is still thinking hard about how to refuse his request, so he will deliberately let Baili Changfeng wait for a period of time every time.
As a monk, he can't talk or lie, he can only find various reasons to prevaricate, or directly refuse the request of a hundred miles of Changfeng. Because he knew what Baili Changfeng wanted to do, he wanted to release that monster from under Xiaoxin's building, because he wanted to rely on the special power of that monster. Because since the fight ten years ago, the monsters below were trapped here, Baili Changfeng has never been to Xiaoxinlou again, even if he asks about the situation, he will definitely not come here by himself.
But just recently, he had to come here almost every day, sometimes even several times a day, and he was not polite to himself, and when he came, he bluntly said that he wanted to see him. This really made the old monk worried, as the key person who guarded here and tempered the monster, at the beginning, of course, it was impossible to agree to Baili Changfeng's request, and he also told him the key point very bluntly.
But the hundred miles of wind was like a demon, after he refused, he just lightly left a sentence I will come back tomorrow, and then turned around and left, not making it difficult for him, but making it even more difficult for him.
It is said that a good woman is afraid of pestering, even if he is a monk, he is afraid of the wind for a hundred miles. Baili Changfeng came to ask for his opinion every day, and it was clear that he would not give up if he couldn't see anyone, and after refusing to shirk for a long time, he inevitably had a bad feeling in his heart, because he knew the original intention of Baili Changfeng very well.
However, the one under Xiaoxin's building, after all, is not an ordinary character, and no one knows if he will suddenly go crazy once he is released, if he really starts to go crazy, I am afraid that the entire Shengxuan City will fall into disaster. Although Baili Changfeng said that he was certain that he could convince the monster, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid of what happened.
This undoubtedly made it more difficult for him to choose, should he trust his brother for once, or stick to his own principles?
Choosing to be with him is like a red face, he can't hide from it, lest he get involved, and once he falls in, he will feel a tormented contradiction in his heart.
Therefore, he has been thinking about this problem these days, and just last night, he suddenly figured out that instead of being entangled in endless contradictions, it is better to believe in a hundred miles of long wind, and it is also a chance to give the person below and himself.
Not to mention that he and others didn't have too much trouble with him ten years ago, just because he has been living like a year in the past ten years, it still has some effect, at least he is much better than before, although the state is still a little unstable from time to time, but on the whole it is getting more and more stable.
"Step on ...... Trample...... Step ......"
In a quiet space, the two of them stepped on the narrow staircase, making an unusually clear sound, echoing in this dim space, a flickering candlelight, like duckweed in the sea, lonely. But soon, it had its own companion, because as the old monk slowly descended, candles quickly lit up around it.
It turned out that on both sides of this narrow staircase, densely packed with red and happy candles, the old monk lit them while walking, and the candlelight flickered, forming the spark of this dim space, bright and bright, reflecting the narrow staircase into a ladder, running through the Xiaoxin Building, straight to the ground.
The further down the Xiaoxin Building, the larger the space inside, the two of them quickly disappeared into the first floor of the Xiaoxin Building, and if you look at it from the outside of the Xiaoxin Building, it should be the space inside the city wall of Shengxuan City.
No one thought that in the corner of the city of Shengxuan, there was such a hidden and magical place. It's like most people don't understand the purpose of the giant clock that has been standing at the head of the city.
Originally, the space underneath was as dark as the night when you couldn't see your fingers, but fortunately, there was a candle lit by the old monk overhead, and the sight of the two of them was still bright.
As far as the eye can see, I vaguely see that in the depths of the ground, there is a huge colored lotus platform, the size is about the same as the second floor of Xiaoxin Building, and in the center of the lotus platform sits a ragged man with a disheveled head, and his long hair is spread out, covering his face.
At this moment, the lotus platform was slowly rotating, and the person on the lotus platform seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating, in the dark, quiet as if nothing, not even a slight breathing sound. If you don't know, you will definitely think that he is a corpse that has been dead for a long time.
Seeing this person, the expressions of the two Baili Changfeng changed, but their expressions were different, Baili Changfeng showed surprise and seemed excited, while the old monk frowned and was uneasy.
