Chapter 362: The brave second son

"Where did Jing Lin go?" Ren Yaoqi asked softly.
"Just now the silly girl ran off suddenly, Jing Lin was afraid that she would get into trouble and chase it." Xiao Jingxi also whispered.
Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask why he didn't tell her, but she swallowed again when the words reached her lips.
Ren Yaoqi did not speak, and Xiao Jingxi did not speak, just standing there looking at her. Although the eighth-story tower is a lot brighter because of the windows, standing in the tower doesn't make people feel as spacious because it is surrounded by bookshelves.
The location of Xiao Jingxi Station was only half an arm away from her. Ren Yaoqi felt that her heart was beating very fast. After a while, she moved her eyes away and looked at the surrounding bookshelves: "I didn't take a closer look, here. What books are hidden?"
Then at this opportunity, Ren Yaoqi took two steps to the side, making the distance between the two a little bit longer.
"The eighth floor is all Buddhist scriptures." Xiao Jingxi whispered, and took out a book on the nearest shelf and handed it to Ren Yaoqi to read.
Ren Yaoqi took it and looked down, only to find that it was all Sanskrit. She shook her head, smiled and put the book back in its place: "I don't recognize Sanskrit. What are the lower floors? Are they all Buddhist scriptures?"
The corner of Xiao Jing's west lips curled slightly: "No, there are all kinds of books, only this layer is Buddhist scripture."
"Oh."
The two became quiet again. Ren Yaoqi felt that it seemed a little airtight here. Although the two of them could hear the echo when they were speaking, it seemed a bit noisy, but she subconsciously felt that it was better not to be quiet, so she did not Asking for words: "What book is the ninth floor?"
Xiao Jingxi did not answer. Ren Yaoqi was about to look up at him, but he heard him whisper: "Let's go up and take a look."
Ren Yaoqi thought that instead of waiting for Xiao Jinglin here, he might as well go upstairs and have a look. She was in the same room with Xiao Jingxi and it was not good to talk, and it was not good not to talk, it was very strange.
"it is good."
Hearing Ren Yaoqi’s answer, Xiao Jingxi took the lead to walk up the stairs. Ren Yaoqi followed him and took a look up before discovering that the ninth floor seemed to be narrower than the eighth floor, but the stairs were The height is much steeper, and it is hard to get up.
Xiao Jingxi went upstairs while paying attention to Ren Yaoqi and reminded her to be careful. When Ren Yaoqi was on the last stage, Xiao Jingxi suddenly took Ren Yaoqi's hand and pulled her up.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned, feeling the warm touch in the palm of her hand, and a tingling sensation spread from the palm of her left hand, making her feel like she was severely scalded by something.
After recovering, Ren Yaoqi immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but this time Xiao Jingxi held her hand very tightly, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't pull it out at all: "You..."
Xiao Jingxi didn't seem to hear Ren Yaoqi's words. He casually led Ren Yaoqi to the top of the last floor of the tower, then turned around and smiled softly at Ren Yaoqi: "The last floor is locked. "
When Xiao Jingxi smiled, there was a unique charm on her body, which was irresistible. Ren Yaoqi felt that her hands and feet were a little soft, and she even forgot the struggle. She subconsciously glanced at the locked moon door in front. .
Xiao Jingxi held Ren Yaoqi in one hand, and a key appeared on the palm of the other hand. He inserted the key into the lock hole on the face with one hand, and then paused.
Ren Yaoqi was a little dizzy: "Can't you open it?"
Xiao Jingxi turned her head and smiled at her again, and then continued to whisper in a gentle tone: "Will you come to drive?" If Xiao Jinglin were here at this moment, she would definitely accuse Xiao Er Young Master of coaxing. !
Ren Yaoqi thought he couldn't open it, so he nodded, and then realized that his left hand was still in Xiao Jingxi's hand, he whispered a little shamely: "You let me go first!"
Xiao Jingxi whispered, "You open it with your right hand."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jingxi must have been possessed by something today. His face was as thick as a city wall, but Xiao Jingxi dragged her forcibly, and she couldn't get rid of it. The noise was too loud. Blushing and using his right hand to unlock.
Ren Yaoqi didn't think about it carefully. If the person holding her hand was not Xiao Jingxi, but any other man, she was afraid that she would rather fall down the stairs than just be led by others. She has never been a character that is subject to the mercy of others.
The copper key still has the remaining warmth left by Xiao Jingxi’s hand. Xiao Jingxi stood holding her hand in a place where she could breathe, lowered her head and looked at her without blinking, with gentle eyes. For the first time, she silently exposed the feelings in her heart to her and caught her off guard.
Ren Yaoqi was so flustered that he moved his finger, and the lock opened with a soft "click". Ren Yaoqi turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jingxi. It was a little strange that the lock was so open that Xiao Jingxi couldn't open it.
Xiao Jingxi stretched out his hand to push the door open, and then led her into the last floor of the echo tower.
After entering, Ren Yaoqi was stunned.
Because this layer is the top of the tower, it takes a cone shape after entering, and this layer is higher than any one below. And there is no bookshelf on the ninth floor, and there is nothing in it.
There are some small round holes on the top of the tower. The light is shining from above through these small round holes when the weather is fine today. In the tower, there are countless small apertures, dots and dots, like a room full of light. firefly.
Xiao Jingxi pulled Ren Yaoqi and walked to the middle of the room and stood still: "People outside call this the Star Picking Tower, which is actually quite appropriate."
Ren Yaoqi recovered from the shock and looked carefully at the ninth-story tower. She soon discovered that although there were no bookshelves on this floor, the walls were full of patterns.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's expression of curiosity, Xiao Jingxi dragged her to the wall to let her take a closer look. Ren Yaoqi approached only to find that the densely packed walls were not patterns, but words.
Each of these characters is only the size of the characters in the book, but it is covered with all the walls, even on the top of a cone-shaped tower three or four people high from the ground, but Ren Yaoqi doesn’t recognize any of these characters. , She only recognized that these were Sanskrit.
"It's a Buddhist scripture? How was it carved?" Ren Yaoqi asked in surprise.
Let alone how long it will take to engrave so many tiny prints in the tower, the top of the tower is so high above the ground that even using a ladder is very difficult.
Xiao Jingxi touched the writing on the wall, turned his head and smiled at Ren Yaoqi, then began to read it softly, but Ren Yaoqi found that he could not understand a word.
However, Xiao Jingxi’s voice is always the same as his people, with a fascinating attraction. Especially now, he has a gentle tone and a low voice. Ren Yaoqi can’t help but understand even a word. Listened.
Xiao Jingxi held her hand like this, looked at him, and muttered lowly a sentence that Ren Yaoqi could not understand. Ren Yaoqi stood there quietly, she didn't take her hand from Xiao Jingxi's hand, even though Xiao Jingxi's strength is not strong now, she can get rid of it as long as she struggles.
Although Ren Yaoqi could not understand what Xiao Jingxi was talking about, he felt that he knew what Xiao Jingxi was talking about.
Ren Yaoqi didn't know how long he had listened to Xiao Jingxi reading there, one hour or two hours, although it was not dim here, it seemed to be two worlds with the outside world, one with only Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi.
After Xiao Jingxi stopped, it took a long time for Ren Yaoqi to come back to his senses. When he met Xiao Jingxi's gentle and smiling eyes, Ren Yaoqi could not say a word, but his eyes felt sore.
Xiao Jingxi stood in front of Ren Yaoqi, and then carefully hugged her in his arms.
Ren Yaoqi’s forehead touched Xiao Jingxi’s chest, and listening to the "thumping thumping" sound from his chest, she only remembered later that Xiao Jingxi’s heartbeat seemed to be something wrong at this time, although now The Second Young Master Xiao didn't seem to be nervous or shy or shy on the outside.
When the two remembered to go downstairs, it was when Ren Yaoqi felt that he was hungry. Although she used a lot of snacks on Xiao Jinglin's carriage when she came, she still felt hungry.
She left Xiao Jingxi's arms, lowered her head and said softly, "Go down?"
This time Xiao Jingxi did not hold on Ren Yaoqi anymore, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay."
When the two of them withdrew from the top of the ninth tower, Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask Xiao Jingxi what exactly was this place, what was written on the wall, and who left behind, but Ren Yaoqi still did not ask in the end. .
Xiao Jingxi locked the door again, he looked at Ren Yaoqi, and then handed her the key. Ren Yaoqi took it in a daze. After Xiao Jingxi said that he intended to hand over the key to her, Xiao Jingxi said nothing and signaled Ren Yaoqi to go downstairs with her.
When they came down from the Echo Tower, neither of them spoke, and it seemed that there was no need to say anything. Some things were already clear today, and no one could play stupid anymore.
After leaving the Echo Tower, Ren Yaoqi asked: "Where is Jinglin?" She looked at the sky. She and Xiao Jingxi had been in the tower for at least one hour, but Xiao Jinglin had never shown up.
Xiao Jing paused for a while, and then said: "Don't blame her, Xiao family rules, she can't go up."
Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask why Xiao Jinglin could not go up, but she could go up?
But when it came to my lips, it became: "What you just said is an empty building. The reason why people are not allowed to enter is because the tower is too high and it will be dangerous to go up. Where is it?"
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi glared at Xiao Jingxi and went to find Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jingxi followed Ren Yaoqi, feeling helpless and secretly happy.
