The hot spring inn is huge, taking up an entire hill.

There are large and small hot spring pools on the mountain, and each pool is separated by a stone wall to form a small private space.

Ye Qingyan came all the way, even if it was a guest house, he just asked the store for a few buckets of water to scrub and scrub, how could he take a bath happily.

So when I saw the hot spring pool, I couldn't bear it. I quickly set up a hotel and asked for the best room. And the best room, the original price for a night is one hundred taels, but because of the loss of treasure in the holy palace and martial law, it has affected the business of the inn, so it is now cheaper, as long as fifty taels a night, and three meals are guaranteed.

Ye Qingyan was very satisfied, and went to her room under the leadership of the guide mother-in-law.

It turned out to be a two-story attic, and the name was very coincidental, called Mingyuan, which was the same as her surname. Pushing open the courtyard door, first into a delicate small courtyard, gurgling water, there are flowers and grass, gilt carved eaves under the porch there is also a gold wire bird cage, in the cage there is a pair of red-billed and green-feathered birds, see her opened his mouth and shouted-

"Auspicious~"

"Step by step~"

Ye Qingyan was suddenly happy, "What a smart bird." ”

"Yes, it's sweet." The guiding mother-in-law said to Ye Qingyan: "Childe, what do you think?" If you are not satisfied, you can change the room. ”

"No, it's good here." Ye Qingyan teased the bird, and then entered the door.

The hall is facing a tall golden coral tree, with some money strings hanging on it, the ground is the floor of auspicious clouds and white jade, the tables and chairs are all made of golden silk nanmu, gilded ornaments, and everywhere is exquisite and luxurious.

Sure enough, it's for the rich. Ye Qingyan looked at this hall and felt that one hundred taels a night was not too expensive.

The bedroom is even more comfortable and luxurious, with mink carpets on the floor, and many flower petals on the round carved couch...... Looking at those petals, Ye Qingyan subconsciously thought of some kind of primitive impulse in his nature, if someone and a man were here, maybe he would like it more...... Uh, where did she go! The roots of his ears were slightly hot, and he hurriedly came out of the bedroom.

He said to the guide woman: "I want to soak in the hot spring first, but I don't know where to soak in it." ”

The mother-in-law replied: "The best room you live in, of course the best pool, just on the top of the mountain, I'll take you there, if you need to rub your back, I can also serve." ”

"Okay, then I'll take my clothes."

"No, it's all full yukata, balm, cotton towels, ......."

When I arrived at the place, I found that the baths on the top of the mountain were indeed different from those enclosed by screens. A simple hut was built directly for people to change their clothes, and there was a soft couch, so you can rest here when you are tired.

Ye Qingyan didn't need her mother-in-law to wait for her to change clothes, and only let her mother-in-law come in after she put on her bathrobe and entered the hot spring pool, but she didn't let her help with the bath.

The mother-in-law didn't care, and Ye Qingyan didn't give a reward, and the reward was quite a lot, not to mention that there were two taels of silver.

And chatting and talking is definitely the strength of the mother-in-law, not only can talk, but also loves to chat, but it can be said that everything is known, and there is no end to words.

"You're a local, aren't you?" Ye Qingyan asked.

The mother-in-law replied: "My ancestors have been Wu people for generations. ”

"Then you ...... Is it witchcraft or Gu farming? Ye Qingyan hesitated for a moment before asking, after all, this thing seems to be very mysterious and taboo from the outside.

The mother-in-law smiled, "It's the first time for the guest to come to our witch clan, right?" ”

Ye Qingyan nodded, "Yes, I have been lost in the forest for a few days, but I have a good view of Li Mountain, it is simply a holy place outside the world, with birds singing and flowers." ”

"Indeed, our Lishan is a treasure land of all things in the sky, just like a fairyland that God inadvertently fell."

"That's right, that's right." Ye Qingyan nodded, looking at her mother-in-law with curious eyes, making her talk better.

In the end, a soaking kung fu and a mother-in-law who loves to talk made Ye Qingyan almost understand the basic situation of the Wu clan.

The art of witchcraft requires talent, and not all witch people understand it. The entire Wu clan, and only a small number of people, are called witches.

After the witch is discovered, he will be recruited by the Holy Palace, and finally live in the Holy Palace. And the people in the town are just ordinary people.

These ordinary people are usually not able to approach the Holy Palace. Only on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, when the moon is not full, can you enter the holy palace to pray for blessings, bless the clansmen, or meet with the relatives of the witches in the holy palace.

The ancestors of the leading mother-in-law have never produced a witch for generations, and they are ordinary people. So Ye Qingyan asked her about witchcraft, but she didn't understand it.

The people in the town rely on selling some homemade handicrafts with witch patterns, as well as some homemade herbal pills made by the witch people, and mascots blessed by the witch. Especially the last one, it is very rare, because witches rarely do blessing rituals, and most of them are done by some dignitaries and nobles who ask witches for help with a lot of money. If the Witch King can do it himself, the mascot is simply a priceless treasure.

Ye Qingyan said that he was very curious and wanted to go to the Holy Palace to have a look.

The mother-in-law told her that in the past, foreigners might still be allowed to enter the holy palace to pay respects.

But now that the Holy Palace has lost a lot of treasures, it is impossible to let outsiders in. Even the people of their own clan can only enter the holy palace to pray for blessings on the first day of the new year, and the fifteenth has been canceled for the time being.

Ye Qingyan calculated the time, and it happened that tomorrow was the first day of the new year.

It's tomorrow...... She's going to go into the Holy Palace to find Master!

After talking for a long time, Ye Qingyan was almost soaked, so she let her mother-in-law go first, and she would go back to the room by herself.

The mother-in-law was also thirsty because she talked a lot with Ye Qingyan, so she left first without being polite. I'll wait outside the courtyard gate later, and if there's anything you need, just shout.

After her mother-in-law left, Ye Qingyan took off the mask on her face and scrubbed her face with a lot of spirit...... Even if her skin is wearing a human skin mask every day, it is delicate and can be broken by blowing, and she is born with good skin, no matter how she tosses, she is fine.

It wasn't until he rubbed his face red that he stopped.

Then wrapped in a bath towel, came out of the hot spring pool, changed into a wide bathrobe in the hut, wrapped a big cotton towel around his head, lay on the soft couch in the hut, put a thin quilt around his waist, and rested for a while.

The way to the Wu Clan, has always been in a hurry, there is no day to soak in the hot springs like now, relaxed and comfortable, as a result, this rest, I fell asleep.

In the drowsiness, a wisp of piano sound leisurely fell into a dream, and the melody was bleak like a generous tragedy, which was refreshing in the deep night.

Ye Qingyan slowly opened his eyes and listened to the sound of the piano that had not yet ended...... It doesn't seem to be a dream, it's really someone playing the piano. Although she can't play the piano, she is also very appreciative of piano skills. At this time, the people who played the qin music were as skilled as the court piano masters.
