Chapter 128 Climbing the Tower(1/2)
After eating the noodles, Yun Xi didn't care whether the store took the money or not, she just put the copper coins on the table and left.
Although the Buddha City is lively at night, most of them are just people walking around, sitting outside some small restaurants, drinking and bragging. Yunxi walked for a while and found that the most lively place in the city was undoubtedly a brightly lit Yange.
.
It seems that the night life of people living in this era is still very simple, but this is not all bad. At least along the way, Yun Xi did not see any bald middle-aged people. In terms of hair volume, Buddha City
Everyone is still a winner.
"Let's go for a walk by the river."
When there is nowhere to go, the river is the most suitable place.
A few people were walking slowly. Ying Nianling was holding the big bag in one hand and the candied haws in the other hand, tasting it happily.
When she came to the river, Yun Xi saw a small boat. She waved at her: "Boatman, can you board this boat?"
The boatman was an old man. He squinted and saw clearly the faces of Yun Xi and others before he said: "Come up."
"Thank you."
After saying thanks, Yun Xi and the others boarded the ship.
The river in Buddha City is not wide and the water is not deep. The old man holds a bamboo pole and can easily push the boat forward.
"Uncle, are you still fishing by the river so late?"
Yun Xi sat on the edge of the boat and started talking to the old man without fear of strangers.
The old man said with a smile: "That's not true. When people get older, they always want to find something to do. It's so boring to be at home alone."
Yun Xi asked: "Where is your family?"
"My wife died early, and I have a daughter who is married."
The old man said lightly.
"Sorry." Yun Xi lowered his head.
"It's okay, haha." The old man really didn't seem to care, "You must be from outside, right?"
"How do you know?"
"There is a rumor in the city that three people came from outside the city last night. They look like gods, and they brought a little fox with them. They must be you."
When Bai Qing heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet: "What little fox? It's Snow Fox! It's Mr. Snow Fox of noble blood!"
The old man staggered and almost fell into the river due to Bai Qing's sudden words.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at Bai Qing for a while, then said with emotion: "You can still speak?"
Bai Qing's pretty face turned dark immediately.
Yun Xi found it interesting, laughed happily, and asked: "Shipman, do you only have Buddha City here?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, outside the Buddha City, there are only a mountain range, a few lakes, and then an endless sea. The sea will sink objects, and nothing can float on it, so we are leaving
If we don’t open here, we will live in Buddha City for generations.”
"It's really hard work..."
Yun Xi said.
"I can't say it's hard work, I'm just curious about what the outside world is like, haha..."
There was a hint of longing in the old man's eyes, which made people feel a little sad.
Yun Xi turned her head and looked at the city, thinking that all the residents in the city could only live in such a city for the rest of their lives, and felt a little silent.
You Ting sat quietly on the side of the boat, pulled up her skirt slightly, stepped into the water with her exposed jade feet, and swayed gently with the water waves. She held her hands back, looked back at the old man, and said:
"Since you are curious, why don't you try to go out? If the Buddha can let you in, he will naturally have a way to let you out, right?"
The old man explained: "Who knows? According to the legend passed down from our ancestors, the Buddha and his ancestors lived here in seclusion to avoid disasters. They have been hiding here for so many years. In the early years, everyone said that the outside world
It is dangerous and no longer suitable for human habitation. But as time goes by, people’s hearts will eventually change."
"It's just that Lord Buddha has not shown up for a long time. I heard that even the monks in the Buddhist temple can't contact Lord Buddha."
"Let me tell you, those monks probably want to go out too, but they just have no choice."
It’s okay if you don’t know that there is a broader world beyond this world. Now that you know it, there will always be people who can’t help but long for the unknown.
If it weren't for the rules of Buddha City and the protection of the monks at Tingfo Temple, which restrained everyone in the city, Yun Xi and the others would have been dissected by the people in the city.
Yun Xi looked at the reflection of the bright moon on the water, thinking that the arrival of herself and others would only completely arouse these people's yearning for the outside world, and she didn't know if they would be willing to let her go.
The old man continued to row the boat. After a period of relative silence, he still couldn't help but ask: "Fairies, is the outside world really in trouble?"
Yun Xi thought for a while: "It's hard to say, but it's not completely peaceful after all. In the outside world, human life is sometimes like a piece of grass..."
The old man's face changed slightly: "That's really scary..."
Because of the existence of the Buddha and Tingfo Temple, there have been few murders in Fozun City throughout the ages. Neighbors may not always be in harmony, but they are not enemies either.
Yun Xi smiled and didn't explain much.
She raised her head and looked up at the sky that was different from the outside world.
"Let's go to the tower tomorrow."
Yun Xi said.
You Tingjing and Ying Nianling turned their heads, and the former asked: "You have strength so soon?"
"Not much, but enough."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said confidently: "I have found a solution."
There are fewer cars on the street, and many lanterns have been extinguished, leaving only a few to illuminate the road.
When it got darker, Yunxi and the others left the boat and returned to the pagoda.
"Yun Xi."
Following Yun Xi to the door, Ying Nianling stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to sleep with you."
Ying Nian Ling’s big, clear eyes are extremely pure.
Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly and said: "Okay."
"Xiao Yunxi~ I also want to sleep with you~"
"Get out!"
……
Because she couldn't sneak into Yun Xi's room, You Tingjing finally had to carry the little fox and leave.
Yun Xi could never forget the way Bai Qing looked at her when she was quietly carried away by You Ting. She spread her limbs and her eyes were so desperate.

Yun Xi smiled at it, feeling glad that Bai Qing was there to help her attract You Tingjing's attention.
"Yun Xi."
In the small room, the candles were extinguished, only the oil lamp on the table was on, and the whole room was under dim light.
In this environment, Ying Nianling whispered Yun Xi's name.
"Hmm."
Yun Xi responded neither quickly nor slowly, and her tone was calm and gentle.
Facing this little girl who has always been by his side without complaint since Fengyun County, Yun Xi will never be stingy with her tenderness.
Ying Nianling was sleeping on the inside of the bed, with candlelight coming from the outside. When she opened her eyes, she could see Yun Xi's face and even the slender and transparent down.
"Are you not happy?"
Yun Xi made a sound of doubt: "Why do you think so?"
Ying Nianling hesitated for a moment: "You seem to want to leave here?"
Yun Xi turned sideways and said softly: "Well, I want to leave."
"Why?"
Yun Xi reached out and touched her hair. Xiaoying's white hair was as soft as silk and felt very good to the touch.
"Because I miss Xiao Yuan'er and the others. Don't you miss Xiao Ying?"
"Think!"
Ying Nianling answered quickly.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "Besides, staying here for a long time is not a good thing for the people here."
Their arrival will inevitably arouse the people of Fozun City's yearning for the outside world. If she informs these people about the current situation in the outside world, it will probably make many people eager to leave, and there will be a big chaos.
