When I used to watch movies, I knew that there was such a thing as "inner world", but until today, I didn't know that there was such a special existence as "inner bathhouse".

——Excerpt from "Chen Ling's Assistant Diary"

Xiushen, who was taking a walk, suddenly saw a young man walking towards him, about twenty-four years old, wearing an ancient Sakurajima bathrobe, stepping on clogs, slender wrists, slender fingers, handsome and beautiful appearance, and a cold temperament, if it weren't for his prominent Adam's apple, it would almost make people mistake him for a girl, and the most eye-catching thing was his silver hair.

Xiushen's eyes rolled, and he seemed to have guessed the identity of the person who came, while Chen Ling, who followed up, was full of slander.

At first glance, this little white face is not a good person, and he has a straight face like who owes him money. The little wrists are as thin as firewood sticks, and I can beat him three times at a time. This gray hair must be because of kidney deficiency, kidney deficiency at a young age, and he must not usually do anything good.

For people who look better than himself, Chen Ling has never had a good face.

"Dare to ask if the two of you are Master Xiushen and Mr. Chen Ling?" The young man asked kindly.

Xiushen nodded and said with a smile: "I am Xiushen, so I guess you must be the boss?" ”

The young man nodded and said: "Exactly, my name is Le Cheng, I am the owner of the hot spring villa, and I have two laborers for the exorcism." ”

"Where, since we have been hired, we are business partners, Boss Le is not polite, and he also needs to know some information from Boss Le." Xiushen replied.

"Then let's talk as we go to the room." Le Cheng led the two to the room.

"I don't know what this land was used for before Boss Le opened the hot spring villa?" Xiushen asked from the side.

"This is a wasteland, there were no people living before I came, I know what you want to ask, this was not a cemetery before, the cemetery was full of resentment, polluted the leylines, and there would be no natural hot springs."

"And who has seen that ghost?"

"The few people who had seen the ghost were frightened and left early. Although we also made notes, they were panicked and couldn't say anything. ”

"This is troublesome, the male ghost that only exists in the rumors does not have special signs, only knows the appearance, and according to Chen Ling's experience, there is even more than one ghost, so it will be very troublesome to deal with it."

After listening to Xiushen's words, Le Cheng pondered slightly, and then said: "If you have to say, there are a few 'people' who have encountered ghosts and haven't left yet, but..." ”

"Excuse me."

"Is Miss Xiushen a professional slayer?"

"That's nature."

"The very professional kind?"

"I think there is no more professional than me in the whole Sakurajima."

"Then I want to take the two of you to a place to meet a few guests who have encountered ghosts, no matter what you see along the way, please don't panic, so as not to disturb my guests, they are all distinguished guests."

"That's nature, please lead the way."

Le Cheng turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the central service area with the two of them, and at this time, Chen Ling, who had been slandering beside him, leaned over to Xiushen and whispered. "Xiushen, how did you find out that this dead face is the boss here."

"Pay attention to your attitude, it's rude." Xiushen glared at Chen Ling, then lowered his voice and said, "As a half-demon, he has a lot of spiritual power. And combined with his appearance and hair color, as well as his spiritual characteristics, I think that this Le Boss should have a relative and friend who is a snow demon. ”

"My grandmother was a snow demon, or could be called a mountain lady. Miss Xiushen is worthy of being a professional demon slayer, and you can see it at a glance. Although he lowered his voice, it was obvious that Le Cheng still heard it.

"No, no, it's my assistant who is rude, he lacks discipline, please forgive Boss Le."

"It's okay, the child is still young, I won't care."

Xiushen smiled when he heard this: "Boss Le, I heard that in the territory of the mountain lady, all the wind and snow are under her command, and she is her eyes and ears." It seems that Boss Le has inherited some of your grandmother's demonic powers. ”

"I inherited the demonic power of 'wind' in the wind and snow, although it is already very weak, but it is still very useful."

"Even though I'm only twenty-four or five, I still call me a child, which is inexplicable." Chen Ling, who was walking behind, muttered quietly.

"Although I look young, I am in my fifties this year." Le Cheng slowly turned his head and glanced at Chen Ling, "In addition, when you speak beside me, you don't need to deliberately control the volume, whether it is loud or low, it is the same, the wind will send your words to my ears." ”

Encountering the legendary Shunfeng ear, Chen Ling quickly covered his mouth and stopped talking.

The three of them walked through the lobby of the central service area, came to a small room, and walked to a small inconspicuous door.

"Please stand back a little." Le Cheng said.

Xiushen Chen Ling and the two took a few steps back, and then Le Cheng stretched out a slender finger, the finger was visible to the naked eye with the ripples of air flow, Le Cheng gently touched the small door with his fingers, and suddenly the wind in the room was fierce, and the inconspicuous small door was blown open at once, and after the wind stopped, there was only the sound of the small door creaking.

"Please forgive me, this door is made of fine iron, although it is not too heavy, but it is about three tons, mainly to prevent human customers from inadvertently breaking through this door. Moreover, the door itself does not have a keyhole, so it needs to be blown open by spiritual power. ”

"It's okay, but the boss has a lot of demon power, I thought Boss Le's demon power was thin, it seems that I am clumsy." Xiushen apologized.

"No, it's really thin, it's far worse than my father. When my father opens the door, he only moves, and people don't feel it, and I am much worse, far from being handy. After speaking, Le Cheng didn't say much, just walked silently towards the door.

Behind the small door is a long tunnel, twisting and turning, up and down, and I don't know where it leads.

"Behind this tunnel is another bathhouse, or where I really run it, the tunnel is very dark, please follow me."

"Boss Lao Fule led the way in front." Xiushen replied with a smile.

The dark tunnel mouth leads to nowhere it leads, and there seems to be no end, as if it wants to devour everyone who wants to pass through him, and the dim interior of the tunnel goes up and down, making it impossible to distinguish things, which reminds Chen Ling of what happened to the office building before. But Chen Ling didn't dare to speak, so he had to tremble and pull the back hem of Xiushen's clothes to follow behind, Xiushen originally wanted to drag back his clothes, but when he saw Chen Ling's teeth chattering and his eyes wide open and looking around, he had to let him pull his clothes.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the tunnel finally came to an end, and another small door appeared in front of him, Le Cheng pointed forward, and another gust of wind blew, and Chen Ling, the god of beauty, hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands.

When the small door was blown open, a bright light hit, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

Apparently they came to a cave with a large interior that had been transformed into a splendid oriental castle style, with three wooden bridges connecting the cave outside the castle, and the bridge was full of traffic, in stark contrast to the sparse population of the villa area. Along the wooden bridge, there are lanterns hung as guides, and the lanterns are written in block letters with the word "warm soup", although there is a cold wind blowing outside the cave, but it stops before these two words. The bridge is lined with not very tall trees, but there are no green leaves, just small pink flowers that give life to the cave, and guests can walk along the bridge and walk directly into the castle.

The three of them picked up the bridge from the small gate, walked on the bridge, and looked at the guests who came and went, Chen Ling suddenly felt amazed in his heart.

"Ahh Xiushen, you see? Chen Ling pointed to the passing guests.

"Don't talk too much, follow along." Xiushen said angrily.

"But look, these are like?" Chen Ling looked around, not knowing how to describe it, his voice became higher and higher, and his voice became louder and louder.

"It's rude for me to tell you not to talk."

"No, look at these..."

"Shut up!"

Xiushen looked at the panicked Chen Ling, shook his head, and directly pointed his finger at Chen Ling's mouth.

"If you say too much, you will lose!"

Chen Ling, who wanted to shout just now, immediately closed his mouth. A simple sealing spell made Chen Ling speechless for the time being.

The flustered Chen Ling desperately dragged the back hem of Xiushen's clothes back and forth, pointing here and there. Xiushen turned around impatiently and said to Chen Ling viciously, "If you move again, I will kick you out of the cave with one kick." This place should be close to the top of Feifengling Mountain, kick it down to ensure that you have the feeling of flying. ”

Chen Ling, who was intimidated, no longer dared to move.

"It's okay, the first time I saw this scene, it's normal for ordinary people to panic. However, Master Xiushen is calm and calm, and he deserves to be a top demon slayer. Le Cheng said in front.

"Where, as a demon slayer, if you panic in the face of such an occasion, it's embarrassing to spread it." After speaking, Xiushen gave Le Cheng a sweet smile.

I saw that most of the guests around me were not humanoid. In front of them, two tall wild boars with long beaks and fangs dressed in ancient palace clothes were walking towards the castle with a few small wild boars, and the two were talking about how many little pigs seemed to have passed the height limit, and whether they wanted to buy bath tickets.

Next to the four one-horned demons carried a chariot, lying on the chariot has been snow-white stag, the stag can be seen around the three-color strange light circulation, the demon is very stable, the stag is taking a nap.

Three cyclops in animal skins in front of them seemed to be deciding who would be entertained by guessing their fists, but blocking the way of the guests behind, and the staff from afar were rushing to guide them.

Suddenly there was a chirp at the entrance of the cave, and several large birds fell from the sky, transforming into several middle-aged men in suits, shouting to relax with a few drinks in the lounge of the bathhouse.

An old turtle in front of him was walking unhurriedly towards the castle, but a slime took the opportunity to stick to the old turtle's tail and hitchhike.

A wolf spirit standing up is leading a brown and white wolf baby to face it, the little wolf doesn't seem to like the collar, has been struggling, and then a temper simply lying on the ground and refusing to go, but the weight is too light, and the wolf spirit is dragged all the way.

Obviously, this bathroom is not open to humans, this is a bathroom for demon clans.

After the three of them crossed the bridge, they came to the gate of the castle, and there was a plaque hanging at the door, with the words "bathhouse" written on it, which made people not very clear. Le Cheng next to him explained: "This shop was originally opened by my grandmother with my father, and when it first opened, no one was very popular, all thanks to a few friends of my grandmother's to patronize, and the bathroom was built in a cave, and no one could find a place, so my grandmother hung a sign at the entrance of the cave, which said, 'There is a bathhouse inside'." Later, the number of guests increased, and the size of the bathroom gradually increased, and it became what it is today, and when the name of the plaque was named, two words were removed from the original sign and became "Satodo", which symbolizes that this bathroom is different from the secular bath, and also symbolizes the continuation of tradition. ”

"I see, the name 'Bathhouse' has both historical and symbolic significance, it is really a good name, it must have been given by the owner's grandmother." Show God flattery.

"No, it was my father. My grandmother was tired of the world after her grandfather's death, and she barely stayed here for twenty years, until when my father became an adult, she went to the Tiger Leaping Cliff to practice, and never came down again, not even attending her father's funeral. ”

"That's it..."Xiushen didn't know how to answer for a while, he didn't expect the Snow Demon Clan to be so ruthless, so that he disregarded his family.

"The grandmother mountain lady family has no father and no mother, it is an elf bred by ice and snow, and there will be a mountain lady in a hundred miles of snow mountain, and the concept of family affection is extremely weak. It was a rare thing to open this bathroom in order to raise my father, and although he left early, my father never felt resentful of his grandmother. Le Cheng said as he walked forward.

"Okay, please sit here for a while, and I'll go and ask a few guests who have met male ghosts to come out and talk to you in detail." Le Cheng led the two Xiushen to the elegant seats in the lobby, and then turned around and walked towards the men's guest room.
