After resting for a night at the Pokémon Center, Xia You and Nazhi did not rush to leave Platycodon City. Instead, they crossed a lake and came to the Trumpet Bud Tower in the north of the city.
The Tower of Trumpet Bud is located in a temple on the outskirts of the city. Judging from the location, the temple is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is surrounded by forests. It is indeed a good place for meditation.
Because it is free and open to the public, and it is a famous attraction, many tourists come here every day for sightseeing.
It's just nine o'clock in the morning, it's still early, and the monks have just finished their morning prayers. At this moment, there are not many tourists visiting the temple.
Xia You and Na Zi stepped forward and entered the temple gate.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but when Xia You was in the solemn temple, she seemed to be able to vaguely feel a sense of Zen surrounding herself.
but…
After looking at Na Zi, Xia You laughed at himself.
What a Zen feeling, get away from me quickly.
He is now in a close relationship with Nazhi, and is liked by several little girls. He is surrounded by red threads. I am afraid that he is destined to miss Buddhism in this life.
After walking a few more steps into the temple, Xia You looked around and found that the layout of the temple was unexpectedly simple.
Surrounded by the buildings where monks live, you can also see several monks cleaning the courtyard in the distance, and in the center, a three-story wooden tower stands on a stone platform.
This should be the Tower of Trumpet Bud...
To be honest, Xia You was still a little disappointed after seeing the real thing.
When he first heard the name, he thought it would be a six- or seven-story building. Now, at first glance, the appearance of the Trumpet Bud Tower is no different from an ordinary wooden tower, with wooden walls and green tiles. It is neither in the shape of a trumpet bud nor very tall. It can be said that it is very different from what he expected!
Gengar popped his head out of the shadow and looked around, obviously having the same question.
"I really don't understand, why is it called the Tower of Trumpet Bud? It obviously has nothing to do with Trumpet Bud?"
Xia You lowered his head and looked through the travel guide he got from the Pokémon Center: "This... seems to say that inside the Trumpet Bud Tower, there is a huge pillar that is constantly shaking to maintain balance, because it is like a constantly shaking The trumpet buds are the same, that’s why they are so named.”
"Swaying pillars?" Gengar asked strangely, "If it keeps shaking, wouldn't the building be very unstable? Why is it designed like this?"
"I don't know the specifics." Xia You shook his head, "It's not written in the guide, but I heard that it seems to be a relatively flexible structure with good earthquake resistance, which is called a "soft structure." , not only in ancient times, but also in many modern buildings, this construction method is still used. Although it looks shaky, there is no problem in terms of structure."
While talking, Xia You and Na Zi had already climbed the steps and entered the Tower of Trumpet Bud through the open door.
Creak.
Stepping on the wooden floor and just entering the interior of the tower, the two of them were attracted by the huge tree in front of them that was constantly swinging like a pendulum.
The width of this giant tree is almost two meters. It hangs down from the upper floor and extends to the ground. It is shaking regularly.
"So...so big!"
Gengar, curious in his heart, passed through the wall, first went upstairs to take a look, and then submerged underground again. When it flew back to Xia You, it was still muttering incredulously.
"I just looked at it. There is no external force driving this piece of wood. The reason why it can keep swinging by itself is entirely due to its ingenious structure. It's really amazing!"
"Well, it's indeed amazing."
While Geng Gui was chattering, Xia You and Na Zi climbed to the second and third floors from the stairs on the side.
But what disappointed him again was that, except for the giant tree, the entire Trumpet Bud Tower was really no different from other wooden towers, and there was nothing else worth visiting!
It's true that I came here in good spirits and returned in disgrace.
However, this place is considered a famous scenic spot. Now that it is here, Xia You took a few more photos as a souvenir.
After staying here for a while, at 11 o'clock at noon, the two of them tasted the free vegetarian meal provided by the temple. I have to say that perhaps this simple but delicious vegetarian meal was their biggest gain from this trip. .
While eating, Xia You suddenly discovered that the monks practicing here seemed to have trumpet buds in their hands.
Thinking about it, in order to echo the name of the temple, they chose to tame the trumpet buds and practice together with them.
After they had eaten and drank enough, Xia You and Na Zi clasped their hands together, said goodbye to the monk, then turned around and left, heading straight out of Platycodon City.
Because there are still a few days left before the appointment with the handsome guy, their next destination is to continue heading northeast, through the vast and dense forest, directly to Yanmo City, and challenge the gym there.
After the gym battle is over, he will turn west and arrive at Kaji Town to meet up with the handsome guy.
The two walked along the wide road for half an hour. Just as they were about to enter the forest, they saw a red sports car suddenly driving on the road in the distance.
The sports car passed by Xia You, bringing up a wisp of dust. But before the dust dissipated, the sports car fell back again!
This scene was so familiar that Xia You subconsciously looked at it like the inside of a sports car.
Sure enough, in the passenger seat, he saw an 'old acquaintance' who was about the same age as Xiaozhi.
"Huh? Xiaomao?"
Needless to say, the person who appeared like this was naturally Xiao Mao!
Just like before, Xiao Mao's car was filled with sexy ladies. He sat in the passenger seat and looked at Xia You with great surprise.
"Xia You? I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"I'm also surprised." Xia You waved to him and looked down at his sports car. "It's been so long since I last saw you. It seems that you are still the same as before. You still like to travel in a sports car."
"This is natural." Xiao Mao clasped his shoulders with his arms and raised his chin. "This is the fastest way to travel. It's many times faster than people like you who walk!"
Seeing Xiao Mao, Xia You naturally thought of Xiao Zhi, and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, since you are here, have you seen Xiao Zhi?"

Xiao Mao snorted coldly: "We parted ways yesterday at the research institute, and that guy also set off here, but according to his pace, I'm afraid he's still on the Quartz Plateau!"
Just walked to the Quartz Plateau?
The speed is indeed slow enough.
Turning his attention back to Xiao Mao, Xia You took out the elf ball from his pocket again just like he did when they first met, tossed it a few times in his hand, looked at him, and said with a smile: "How about we meet after a long time, how about we meet again?" Don’t you want to fight with me now?”
No, Xiao Mao shook his head when he heard what he said.
"Now? Let's forget it. The good show between you and me must wait until the Silver Conference. By then, I will definitely not lose to you again and let you experience the taste of failure!"
After saying that, he ignored Xia You, waved his hand, and as the girl driving the car stepped on the accelerator, the sports car drove away directly!
Buzz!
Dust floated in the air again.
Looking at his retreating figure, Xia You couldn't help but smile.
Now, strong enemies appear one after another, plus those unknown opponents, it will be extremely lively when the Silver Conference comes!
