Chapter 412 It’s cold at high places
It was late at night, and the streets were naturally deserted. You could only faintly hear the watchman banging his wooden clapper, saying, "It's dry and everything is dry, so be careful with the candles."
Yang Yiyi walked on the deserted street. Even the dogs were asleep at this time, and of course there was no one on the street.
She appeared to be in a daze and was walking a bit unsteadily, making people doubt whether she could find her way back to this unfamiliar place on her own.
Yang Yiyi didn't have any destination, she just walked randomly.
At this time, a burst of conspicuous lights in the night broke into the field of vision, and Yang Yiyi saw the brightly lit lights on the other side of the street from a distance.
Just like mosquitoes have phototaxis, Yang Yiyi unconsciously moved towards the direction of the light. When she got closer, she could vaguely hear the noisy sound. As the distance got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer.
When I looked up, I saw red lanterns celebrating the Lantern Festival hanging on both sides of a restaurant. The plaque with gold letters on a black background was clearly visible in the orange or red lights.
Write a letter "Taibai Tower".
As early as when she passed by before, Yang Yiyi wanted to go to Taibai Tower to take a closer look, but she didn't expect to end up here unknowingly.
When she was confused, Yang Yiyi walked towards Taibai Tower without thinking.
All the merchants in Luan City have probably closed their doors long ago, but Taibai Tower is the only one that stays lit all night.
The reason is naturally simple, because Taibai Tower is mainly engaged in the business of Jianghu people.
The name Taibai Tower does not come from the poet Li Taibai, but from the Taibai star in the sky. During the Youth Heroes Association, Taibai Tower will be open until Taibai star appears in the sky, and Taibai star is also called the morning star. It is already early morning at that time. Therefore, it was renamed Taibai Tower.
"Please come in, Heroine, the heroes are busy."
As soon as Yang Yiyi approached, a waiter came up to greet her, as if she was used to people coming from the world in the middle of the night.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I was immediately overwhelmed by the noise. Some people were punching and some were eating meat. There was also a special ring in a corner of the lobby. Those who got on did not use martial arts, but relied on wrestling.
The large white wall on the other side is covered with crooked writings, and a group of martial arts people are jumping around there, competing to see who is better at Qinggong and can keep their calligraphy at a higher place.
All these differences are aimed at the pain points that people in the world love to compete.
Ordinary restaurants and inns obviously don't have these items, and Jianghu people are relatively well-behaved most of the time. However, Taibai Tower goes the opposite way and deliberately allows Jianghu people to have a place to have fun, so business will naturally flourish.
"This young hero, Gu Tao, is determined to win the Thunder Sword!"
"Come on, are you just as good as a three-legged cat?"
She seemed to hear a familiar voice in her ears, but Yang Yiyi didn't care at all.
If Yang Yiyi saw this scene normally, she would definitely not be able to help but go up and try it out for herself, but now she is really not in that mood.
"Nvxia Yang is here!"
"Long time no see, Miss Yang."
Yang Yiyi knew a lot of people in Lei Shan Zang, and she also went there during the previous siege of the Tianlang Sect stronghold. Many of the Jianghu people present knew her, and when they saw Yang Yiyi coming in, they all raised their hands to say hello.
Yang Yiyi also returned the favor one by one. At least in terms of face, she must be okay, but she is not as positive and happy as usual.
The men and women in the store were drinking and talking and laughing. When they came to Yang Yiyi's side, it was as if they encountered a protective film. She was not affected by the emotions at all and just walked around in the crowd numbly.
Unknowingly, she went up to the second floor. It was slightly cleaner than the first floor, but only slightly.
The most eye-catching thing is a huge terrace, where a group of people sometimes admire and sometimes lament.
"This building is too high and steep."
"Nonsense, the fine wine in Taibai Tower is not so easy to get. If you want to drink it, you can buy it with your own money." Yang Yiyi walked over and took a look. It turned out that this group of people was watching others climbing the stairs.
The roof of Taibai Tower has been renovated. The top is a pagoda-shaped structure. It is very steep and difficult for ordinary people to climb up without a ladder.
There is a golden bell hanging on the top of the tower. If someone rings the golden bell, he can get a jar of good wine for free. But you can't use your hands when you go up. You can only use Qinggong to jump up.
This is no easy task.
The Young Heroes Association mainly attracts loose people, and only disciples from well-known and upright families would not bother to come to a place like this to make a name for themselves. Everyone's martial arts skills are also uneven. It is very rare to find one among this group of people who can jump up.
"Nvxia Yang has also come to Luan City?"
"If you don't give it a try, Heroine, maybe with Heroine's ability, you can get a jar of good wine for free today."
Many of the people upstairs knew Yang Yiyi, and they all started booing when they saw her coming up.
Yang Yiyi was thinking about other things in her mind, so she didn't refuse. Without saying a word, she directly used the Fish Jumping Skill and jumped.
The onion puller on dry land can jump five to six meters high, which really impressed the people around him, but it was still far from the top of the tower, and Yang Yiyi landed about one-third of the way.
But the edge was steep, and Yang Yiyi was still in a daze. She slipped from the top and fell on the roof of Taibai Tower.
A group of people below saw this and booed in disappointment. It was not high enough, so the fall would not kill anyone, but it would still hurt a lot.
But this fall knocked Yang Yiyi awake.
In other words, this fall was like a simple way of venting, which alleviated Yang Yiyi's worries a little.
"Look, Miss Yang wants to try again!"
Yang Yiyi stood on the roof and jumped again. This time she landed firmly on the tiles, and the people below cheered loudly.
But this is just the beginning. The higher you go, the narrower the place to stay and the steeper the tiles become.
She took a look and jumped again. This time she almost slipped when she landed, and she barely managed to stand by turning her feet sideways.
Looking at the golden bell high up, Yang Yiyi seemed to have some enlightenment.
This climbing tower seems to be similar to Jianghu.
The higher you go, the smaller the space becomes.
It's cool to be able to see all the mountains from the top, but the higher you stand, the colder it becomes.
Yang Yiyi glanced down. The tower was naturally wider as it went down. Although it was pressed down by the top, if it weren't for the bottom, the whole tower would be like rootless duckweed, and it would fall down without touching it.
Do you want to be at the top of the tower or at the base of the tower?
Yang Yiyi asked herself this, but the answer she gave in her heart was, 'Do what you want to do'.
The top of the tower has the benefits of the top, and the base of the tower also has the comfort of the base. The point is not what you want to be, but how you want to do it.
Yang Yiyi had a vague feeling that she needed to figure it out. She aimed at the top of the tower where Jin Ling was and jumped up again. Her whole body landed on the top of the tower as lightly as a roc spreading its wings, as light as if there was no weight at all.
Standing here, you can obviously see most of Luan City, but looking down, you can't clearly see the faces of the knights and knights who greeted you enthusiastically just now.
It's always cold at high places. The higher you go, the easier it is to ignore things that are more important to you.
Yang Yiyi seemed to have figured it out at this moment.
