Chapter 300 Hot Springs Encounter (1)
The hot spring inn is very large and occupies an entire mountain.
There are hot spring pools of all sizes on the mountain, and each pool is surrounded by stone walls, forming small private spaces.
Ye Qingyan came along the way, and even if he stayed in the inn, he just asked the store how many buckets of water to scrub, so how could he take a bath with great pleasure?
So when I saw the hot spring pool, I felt itchy. I quickly booked a hotel and asked for the best room. The best room was originally priced at 100 taels per night, but the martial law was severed because the treasure of the Holy Palace lost its treasure, which affected the inn business. So now it is cheap, only 50 taels per night, and it is also guaranteed three meals.
Ye Qingyan was very satisfied and led by the guide of the guide to her room.
It turned out to be a second-floor loft with a very coincidental name, Mingyuan, the same name as her surname. When I opened the gate, I saw an exquisite courtyard with gurgling water, flowers and grass. There was a golden bird cage hanging under the eaves of the gilded carved roof. There was a pair of red-mouthed and green-haired birds in the cage. When I saw her, I opened my mouth and shouted-
“Good luck ~”
"Rise step by step~"
Ye Qingyan was immediately happy, "What a smart bird."
"Yes, my mouth is sweet." The guide lady said to Ye Qingyan: "Young Master, what do you think? If you are not satisfied, you can change your room."
"No, it's pretty good here." Ye Qingyan teased the bird and then entered the door.
In front of the hall is a golden coral tree that is tall, with some money strings hanging on it, the floor is filled with auspicious clouds and white jade, the tables and chairs are made of golden nanmu, and the gilded ornaments are exquisite and luxurious everywhere.
It was indeed prepared for the rich. Ye Qingyan looked at the hall and felt that 100 taels a night was not expensive.
The bedroom was even more comfortable and luxurious. The ground was covered with marten velvet carpets, and there were many petals on the round carved couch... Looking at the petals, Ye Qingyan subconsciously thought of a certain primitive impulse in nature. If someone was here, he might like it more... Uh, where did she want to go! Her ears were slightly hot, and she hurried out of the bedroom.
He said to the guide woman: "I want to take a hot spring first, but I don't know where to take a bath."
The woman replied: "The best room you live in is of course the best pool. It's on the top of the mountain. I'll take you there. If you need to rub your back, I can also serve you."
"Okay, then I'll get my clothes."
"No, there are all full sets of yukata, balm, cotton towels..."
When I arrived at the place, I found that the bath pool on the top of the mountain was indeed different from those surrounded by screens. I directly built a simple cottage for people to change clothes and a soft couch. When I was tired, I could rest here.
Ye Qingyan didn't need the mother-in-law to change clothes. After she put on her yukata and entered the hot spring pool, she let the mother-in-law come in, but she spoke and did not ask her to help scrub the bath.
The old lady didn't care, and Ye Qingyan didn't give any rewards, so she had a lot of rewards, so she had at least two taels of silver.
Chatting and talking are definitely the strong point of the old man. Not only can he chat, but he also loves chatting, but he can speak everything and say everything.
"Are you a local?" Ye Qingyan asked.
The old lady replied: "The ancestors have been members of the witch clan for generations."
"Then can you... witchcraft or raising a gu?" Ye Qingyan hesitated for a moment before asking. After all, this thing seems very mysterious and taboo to the outside.
The old lady smiled, "This is the first time the guest has come to our witch clan?"
Ye Qingyan nodded, "Yes, I was still lost in the forest for a few days, but I enjoyed the scenery of Mount Li. It was simply a holy place with birds singing and flowers."
"Indeed, our Lishan Mountain is a treasure land that brings all things to heaven, like a fairyland that God accidentally fell down."
"That's right, right." Ye Qingyan nodded and looked at the old lady with curious eyes, making her talk better.
Finally, Ye Qingyan almost understood the basic situation of the witch clan after taking a bath and a talkative woman.
The witchcraft is talented, and not all the witch clansmen understand it. Only a small number of people in the entire witch clan can do it. People in this clan call these people witches.
After the witch is discovered, she will be recruited by the Holy Palace and finally live in the Holy Palace. The people in the town are just ordinary people.
These ordinary people cannot easily approach the Holy Palace. They can only enter the Holy Palace when the moon is waning and full on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and they can pray, bless the tribe, or meet with the relatives of the witches in the Holy Palace.
The guide's mother never produced a witch in generations, she was an ordinary person. So Ye Qingyan asked her about the witchcraft technique, but she didn't understand it.
People in the town rely on selling some homemade crafts with witch patterns, as well as some herbal pills made by the witches, and mascots blessed by the witches. Especially in the end, it is very rare, because witches rarely do blessing rituals, and most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles who ask for help from the witches. If the witch king can take action on his own, the mascots are simply priceless treasures.
Ye Qingyan said that he was very curious and wanted to go to the Holy Palace to take a look.
The woman told her that in the past, foreigners might be allowed to visit the Holy Palace.
However, now that the treasures have been lost in the Holy Palace, it is impossible for foreigners to enter. Even the people of the own tribe can only enter the Holy Palace for blessings on the first day of the first day, and the fifteenth day has been temporarily cancelled.
Ye Qingyan calculated the time and it happened that tomorrow was the first day of the New Year.
It’s tomorrow... She is going to go to the holy palace to find her master!
After saying a while, Ye Qingyan had almost finished so he asked the woman to leave first, and she would go back to her room by herself.
The woman said a lot to Ye Qingyan and was thirsty, so she left without hesitation. She just said that she would wait outside the yard in a while and just shout if she needed to shout.
After the old lady left, Ye Qingyan took off the mask on her face and rubbed her face vividly... Even if she wore a human skin mask every day, she was delicate and could be broken. She was born with good skin, and it would be fine no matter how hard she tried.
I stopped until I rubbed my face red.
Then he wrapped his bath towel, came out of the hot spring pool, changed into a wide bathrobe in the cottage, wrapped a big cotton towel around his head, lay on the soft couch in the cottage, and put a thin quilt around his waist to rest.
I have been rushing to the witch tribe all the time. I have never been able to take a hot spring bath as relaxed and comfortable as I am now. As a result, I fell asleep after this rest.
In a drowsy mood, a wisp of piano sound enters a dream leisurely, and the tune is as cold as a generous and sad song, refreshing under the deep night.
