Chapter 0031: Bathing and Burning Incense
Flowing clouds and small buildings.
Inner Courtyard.
The bathhouse leads to the hot spring water flooding pool, the mist covers people's eyes, the screen is painted, and the medicinal fragrance is fragrant.
Precious spices and medicinal herbs are placed in the pool, which can strengthen the body, remove all kinds of diseases, and are also very good for spiritual practice.
Although the whole yard was still shaking, it was clearly not as violent as it had been at the beginning.
Mu Liu and Si Mingqin were really in a daze, mistakenly thinking that this was a regular thing in the School Palace.
After all, earthquakes and flash floods often happen in the western highlands.
They are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves, how can they take such a small thing in their eyes?
However, Si Mingqin really said a lot of things to appease the twin sisters who were a few years older than him, and at the same time cast a spell to stabilize the entire Liuyun Xiaozhu from the shock, and also saved all kinds of household belongings.
When the entire school palace was in a panic because of this sudden incident, Si Mingqin really sank into the hot spring pool, and the maid knelt by the pool and waited for him to bathe.
The other side of the screen was deadlocked.
Mu Liu refused to take off his clothes for a long time, even if he knelt down from the thought.
The etiquette teachings received on the Ironwood Cliff are all a thing of the past with the wind and snow on the road.
If Aunt Mei knew, I don't know if she would come to Jinghu from thousands of miles away and teach him a hard lesson.
"Either you go out or turn around, don't look at me, I'll come by myself. ”
For as long as he can remember, Mu Liu has not untied his clothes in front of strange women.
He couldn't let go of his hands and feet, so he gave Linian two choices.
But there is no choice between Linian and Li, because serving Muliu to bathe is not a simple matter, but similar to a religious ceremony. If there is a slight mistake, not only will I not be able to get over it, but if it spreads, I will have to be severely punished.
Mu Liu and the maid Linian are in a dilemma because of their respective insistences.
Si Mingqin next door smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be shy." ”
"I have hands and feet, I don't have any sickness or pain, and I don't like to be served. Mu Liu dismissed a sentence, turned to Linian and said, "If you kneel again, I won't wash it today." ”
"My lord, this is not to be done. ”
"I used to be in the forest, and I often didn't bathe for months, so why not wash for a day?"
Li Nian said: "My lord, this is the School Palace. ”
"What's wrong with the School Palace?" In the past few years of savage growth, where would Mu Liu take care of so much, and then said: "If it weren't for the face of the adult next door, I wouldn't have come here rarely." It's a big deal to take a bath, and it's a big deal to break so many rules. ”
I had no choice but to stand up.
Si Mingqin really persuaded: "Don't be embarrassed to leave my sister." ”
Hearing that Si Mingqin really helped him speak, Li Nian was quite comforted and relieved.
But Mu Liu jumped into the bath while she was not paying attention, and the water burst out and splashed her.
There was no choice but to accept his fate.
Then he took a bath towel and knelt on the edge of the bath without complaining.
Mu Liu said: "Don't worry, I don't want to embarrass you." Nothing that will happen here will ever be known to a fifth person, unless you leak it out yourself. ”
"The slave didn't dare. ”
No matter where he is, Muryu retains a high level of alertness. When you go out, you can't relax, even if this is the Xue Palace.
Now that he has just come into contact, he gave the maid a hint.
"I thought the people on this island were mages, but I didn't expect to see mortals here. ”
Because he couldn't practice like a normal person since he was a child, when he saw that he didn't have any cultivation, maybe it was because of the same illness, Mu Liu's heart gave birth to a different kind of kindness.
Li Nian didn't know what Mu Liu wanted to express.
Si Mingqin really didn't want to put a lot of pressure on the twin sisters on the first contact, so he said: "You don't have to be too restrained, Mu Liu and I are easy to talk to." ”
On the other side, Mu Liu asked, "Which family sent the two sisters from?"
Linian replied: "The finch painting seals the family." ”
Mu Liu asked again: "How did you enter the Feng family?"
"When I was seven years old, a soul beast broke into the village and killed many people, and the benefactor from the Feng family happened to pass by, drove away the soul beast, and brought the living people back to Quehuatan and settled there. Four years later, my sister and I were selected to come to the Academy Palace and train in the Lily Hall. ”
"How long have you been in the Academy?"
"It's been exactly three years, and my sister and I left the Lily Hall a few days ago, and came here to clean the dust and say goodbye, add fragrance to the lamp, and wait for the arrival of the two adults. ”
"Then, our identity, the two sisters must be very clear. ”
Li Nian nodded and replied, "When Lord Yuliang of Taichang Yuan brought us here, he specially explained that the food, household and cultivation needs of Liuyun Xiaozhu were all according to the highest specifications. And when I was in the Lily Palace, I heard rumors that Lord Venerable was going to come to the School Palace. ”
"No wonder I smelled the smell of ambergris just now, and I was really willing. ”
After Mu Liu finished speaking, he swam over and sat on the edge of the pool, staring at Linian, his eyes full of anticipation.
Linian was stared at by him and panicked.
"Sister Linian, do you have meat for three meals a day here?"
Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Mu Liu couldn't help but feel very depressed, feeling that he couldn't live the days ahead.
Si Mingqin really laughed on the other side of the screen and said, "In the future, the two sisters will take care of it." ”
"It is my sister's honor to serve these two adults. ”
Bathing to nourish the body, burn incense and worship the Tao, fasting and cultivating the mind.
The three most important practices in the Master's spiritual life, with strict rituals, are officially involved in the careers of Muliu and Si Mingqin Zhen from today onwards and transformed into a part of life.
Take a bath and change clothes.
After that, it is time to burn incense.
Before going out, the two also had a fast meal.
After everything was prepared, Linian Lixiang sent Mu Liu and Si Mingqin Zhen to the outer courtyard.
At some point, a tall crane came to the courtyard, a little more slender than the Tempest.
Linghe saw Si Mingqin really come out, and he screamed a few times, looking very happy.
Mu Liu was puzzled and asked, "You know each other?"
Si Mingqin really walked up to the Linghe and lifted his toes to stroke its silky white feathers.
Linghe lowered his head and snuggled up to Si Mingqin.
Si Mingqin Zhen said: "Brother Crane has followed Mr. Shuijing for nearly a hundred years, and I have had several encounters with him. ”
With that, Si Mingqin really disappeared on the spot, and appeared on the back of the spirit crane in the blink of an eye.
"Muliu, come up. ”
Mu Liu was a little puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Didn't you want us to go and see that Hongyi Ancestor?"
"Linghe won't appear here for no reason, besides, Mr. Shuijing is still a closed disciple of the ancestor. ”
"Makes sense. ”
After that, Mu Liu took the cloud step, climbed the Linghe, and sat in front of Si Mingqinzhen.
The crane spread its wings and flew high, leaving the Liuyun Xiaozhu and heading east.
Si Mingqin really looked down and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the next mess.
At this time, the floating island was no longer shaking, and many Dharma disciples were running around the country, busy rescuing them after the disaster.
Si Mingqin Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "It looks like it's quite serious, not like it's a trivial matter...... It seems that we have not come at the right time. ”
Mu Liu was playing with the feathers on the back of the spirit crane, glancing down, not paying attention to it at all.
"I think I should also subdue a spirit beast and accompany me on my cultivation journey in the future. Pegasus can't do it, and he doesn't have much combat power. This spirit crane is barely okay, I think it's still the lord's griffin is mighty and domineering. ”
Hearing Mu Liu belittle himself, Linghe was not happy, and suddenly turned around.
Fortunately, Mu Liu reacted quickly and hugged Linghe's slender neck in time so that he was not thrown down. If this falls, even if he has a chaotic magic to protect his body, he will hurt his muscles and bones.
After sitting down again, Mu Liu took out his free hand, patted Linghe's back hard, and said cruelly: "Your temper is not small, believe it or not, I stewed you!"
Linghe snorted to show disdain.
Then, the crane retracted its wings, like a long arrow shot from a strong crossbow, and after crossing the highest point, it fell rapidly, carrying Mu Liu and Si Mingqin Zhen against the steep cliff, skimming over a waterfall, descending to the ground, and then gliding close to a lake, and finally landing in front of a tree-lined pavilion by the lake.
The location is remote, and the shock in the northern part of the floating island has had little effect.
A man dressed as a scholar stood on the front steps of the building with a scroll of scriptures in his hand, calm and relaxed.
If it is said that the bookish qi on Jian Xingzhi's body is still on the surface, then the bookish qi on this person's body has been immersed in the bones and disappeared into the invisible.
Just look at him and you can be sure that he has read a lot of books, and the smell of books exudes from his body.
The more you look at him, the more you can't see his true image, and in the end, you can't even determine whether he is a man or a woman.
Mu Liu withdrew his gaze, rubbed his eyes, and then jumped off the crane's back.
"Is this an illusion?"
Si Mingqin really appeared on Mu Liu's side and explained: "This is the artistic conception of Mr. Shuijing, the mage of the Mahayana realm can turn the divine mind into the artistic conception, melt into all things, and enjoy the world. ”
"Awesome. ”
Mr. Shui Jing is an archmage, and he is a fifth old star, so there is no need to come forward to greet him in person, just let the attendants or disciples do it for him.
Si Mingqin Zhen took a step forward, bowed, and said respectfully: "Student Si Mingqin Zhen and his younger brother Mu Liu have seen Mr. ”
In front of Mr. Shuijing, Si Mingqin really did not use "apostle" to call Muliu.
At the critical moment, Mu Liu remembered Aunt Mei's teachings and also saluted Mr. Shuijing.
Mr. Shui Jing looked at the two of them, smiling without saying a word.
As soon as he looked at him, he took a look at Mu Liu, but Mu Liu didn't notice it at all.
Linghe took the opportunity to bow his head and peck hard at Mu Liu's skull with his long beak.
Mu Liu was in pain, and he was about to make a mistake when he turned around.
But the crane had already flown up with its wings, and reached the middle of the lake.
Mu Liu had no choice but to write down this account secretly.
Si Mingqin smiled genuinely.
Inadvertently, Mu Liu glanced back at Mr. Shui Jing, vaguely saw Mr. Shui Jing's face, was taken aback, and asked Si Mingqin Zhen beside him in a low voice: "How old is Mr. Shui Jing this year?"
Si Mingqin Zhen replied: "One hundred and forty-eight years old, Mr. Shui Jing is the youngest of the five old stars. ”
"It looks like he's younger than his stepfather. ”
"Mr. Shui Jing and the crown entered the top class in the year of the year, and he was promoted to the Mahayana in the year of the establishment, and the influence of time on his appearance was very weak. ”
"If you enter the Mahayana now, won't you always be like this, and you will never grow up?"
"It's hard to say that from the Apocalypse Era to the present, there has never been such a young archmage. ”
Mu Liu changed the topic: "Mr. Shui Jing just stood there and smirked, didn't move, and didn't speak, which meant a few things. ”
Si Mingqin really responded: "Because it's just his shadow clone, not his deity." ”
Mu Liu's expression froze for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then blamed Si Mingqin for not reminding him earlier.
"Although it is a shadow clone, Mr. Water Mirror can do a lot with the shadow clone, and he just glanced at you. Si Mingqin really turned his head to look at Mu Liu, and said with a smile: "You seem to be a little nervous. ”
Mu Liu glanced at Si Mingqin Zhen and said, "There are only so many archmages in the world today, can you not be nervous when you meet for the first time?"
At this time, Si Mingqin Zhen suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "The priest who taught you the magic of chaos, what realm do you think he has reached?"
Mu Liu thought for a moment and said, "I can't say, all along, I only saw his two blood-colored eyes, and I didn't even know what he looked like, and it felt as if he didn't have a physical body. Maybe what I see is just an incarnation of Mr. Water Mirror's shadow clone. ”
After that, the two stood in front of the steps and waited for about a cup of tea.
Mu Liu was a little impatient and walked around the yard.
Si Mingqin really opened his true eyes, and through the shadow clone of Mr. Shui Jing, he saw something that could not be seen with the naked eye, and his brows were tightly locked.
