The waiter was half a step ahead of them and led them into a corridor. At the top of the hallway is a bronze candlestick, in which red candles burn silently. The door at the end of the hallway was closed, the red paint on the door was mottled, and in some places it was already showing the color of the wood, and the door looked a little old.

The waiter told them that this was the lord's bathhouse, and that he, as the lord's servant, was not allowed to enter, so he stood a few steps back so as not to block the path of the two young guests.

It wasn't until they entered the long passage that they realized that the walls on both sides were stone, which was not unusual, for personal preference, but generally no one carved or painted on the stone walls, except for the wall next to the gate of the mansion, but it was for some kind of allegorical purpose. Both of these stone walls are more than seven meters long, and the sculptors look extremely skillful, carving majestic statues of various colors, armed with a variety of weapons to fight the demons that surround them, and the blood of the gods and demons dripping on the ground to create a new color.

This is a masterpiece that depicts the battle between the gods and demons 100,000 years ago, a hideous and gorgeous battle. It was like the coercion from this stone wall, and the more Mu Xi walked inside, the more terrifying he felt, as if it was not the demon but him who had his head cut off and been nailed to the ground by a sharp blade on the stone wall. He had a feeling that his legs were weak, as if his legs were disobedient and turned into a puddle of mud.

This stone wall is used as a wall on the way to the bathroom, and there are various cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods carved on it, and I don't know what kind of habit it is, maybe it is a hobby of collecting myths and legends. But the fetish is the fetish, isn't such a sculpture placed here in the bath with a chill behind the back?

Mu Xi followed Shao Xuechen forward, the sound of footsteps echoing in the long and narrow corridor, and the air was filled with a mysterious aura.

They approached the door, which also featured a relief in the shape of a god, holding a sword in his hand, echoing the demon carved into the stone wall and sitting on a throne of dry bones.

"This door is carved with the god king Bingyu, who holds the sword of power. Mu Xi stroked the relief, "Then the one sitting on the Dry Bone Throne is the Demon Cangming." ”

"How do you know?" Shao Xuechen asked.

It's a big deal for the chief of the academy to ask a question, usually no one can answer the chief's questions like a mentor, so Mu Xi is happy to explain it to him, and he is far better than the chief for this kind of miscellaneous knowledge. In fact, he was not all at the bottom of the final evaluation, he always got high marks for the theoretical knowledge written with paper and pen, and he won the first place in the same level three times in a row.

"There is an illustration of the battle between the gods and demons 100,000 years ago, and the reliefs on the stone walls and doors are exactly the same as those depicted in that illustration. Mu Xi picked at the relief with his hand, and there was some red paint on his nails, and he sniffed it, "The smell is a bit like cinnabar." According to the existing literature, cinnabar was first discovered 30,000 years ago, but it was actually used as a pigment a few hundred years later, when people found that cinnabar was made into a powder and some other things were added, such as angelica. Cinnabar powder and angelica are ground in an inkstone with water until they are paste-like to obtain a completely new red color. Until then, cinnabar had been used as a medicine to flush water, and while it did have some medicinal uses, it was only for ordinary people, and of little use to us magicians. Many of the sculptures we see have been damaged in many places, because they are too old and naturally damaged, so it is very likely that the sculptures we see are tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, the amount of cinnabar mined each year was still very small, and the supply exceeded the demand, and it was rare for anyone to use this newfound pigment so luxuriously, except in the place of worship. ”

"Where to sacrifice, who to worship?" Shao Xuechen continued to ask, he really didn't understand this.

"Sacrifice to the gods. At that time, there was no empire, only tribes, countless tribes large and small on the whole continent, but almost every tribe had an altar, and at a certain time the priests of the tribe presided over the sacrifice, and the tribesmen would kneel under the altar and offer their piety, all of them were fanatical believers in the gods, and they thanked the gods for defeating the tyrannical demons and sealing the demon king who wanted to rule the world. So far, there are still many tens of thousands of years of sacrificial places remaining, and the three major empires have found them, and the number has exceeded three hundred, not including those that have not been discovered. Mu Xi didn't see much of this kind of bizarre story, and he was interested in these unwarranted things.

"So you mean that these stone walls were the sacrificial place of a certain tribe of humans tens of thousands of years ago?"

"It's quite possible that these sculptures, though beautiful, are rugged, and now they are all delicate, with the corners polished to a gentle finish. Therefore, this heavy city lord should be quite interested in the stories of these gods. Mu Xi said, "After tens of thousands of years, the object of reverence in people's hearts has become the imperial family, and it is no longer a god." ”

"Do you believe in the existence of the gods?" Shao Xuechen asked suddenly.

"What does it matter if you exist or not? It's like if someone asks you if you love that girl or not, and if you love it, that's love, and if you don't love it, you don't love it. But I wish they existed, and I wanted to see if they were so powerful because they had three heads and six arms. Mu Xi stretched out his hand to push the door, "Don't say anything, take a shower first, and wait until the wet clothes are dry." ”

The door was pushed open, and the dilapidated door was not even the slightest noise of old wood rubbing, and it was well maintained. The smell of incense came to my nose, and the incense burner was placed on the innermost table in the bathroom, with a few white towels on the table, and two clothes that were supposed to be changed hung on the wall on the right. The air was filled with hot and humid water like mist, and the warm water was placed in a pool the size of a bed, and everything seemed to be ready, just waiting for the guests. Taking a bath should be a relaxing and pleasant thing, but Mu Xi thinks that the person with the same name is enough to be sassy, what kind of incense do you need to take a bath, do you think you stink?

It didn't take long for them to discover an embarrassing thing, probably because the bathroom was renamed, so it wasn't that big when it was built. The size of the pool will be surplus when one person enters the space, but when two people enter the space, they will be a little nervous, and the range of movement will touch each other's bodies if the range of action is slightly larger. Aside from all this, this bathroom is beautifully decorated, much better than the haphazard bathroom of the school palace, which is at most a rain shelter. "Miser" He Quan used all the annual imperial appropriations to improve all corners of the school palace, which was equivalent to renovating and rebuilding the entire school palace. At present, only dormitory No. 1 has been renovated, and only the top students in the palace can live in it, and they have a smile on their faces when they move in with large bags and small bags as if they have stayed in the palace. Mu Xi is very aware of his ranking in the Academy Palace, so he doesn't fight, he doesn't fight, he doesn't make noise, he has lived even better than this. But not everyone can see it as much as him, and he doesn't even want the qualifications to inherit the throne, and the person who gets into the horns of the bull is so serious, but in fact, this truth is simple like a sword for a hero, and a pink for a beauty.

Mu Xi proposed to let Shao Xuechen wash first, he could wait, he knew his position very well. Wouldn't it be strange for two vigorous and vigorous teenagers to take a bath together......? Back-to-back is also weird. Why did you build such a small bathing pool? Shouldn't a person like him be extravagant and arrogant? Or is he a miser like He Quan, who cares about money? But Shao Xuechen took off his clothes and jumped directly into the water, and then said, "Hurry up, if you change the water, it may be delayed for about an hour." ”

This made Mu Xi have no room to refuse at all, and this expressionless guy even took a bath with the same sex as always revealing a ruthlessness.

Now the two teenagers who had grown fluff around their lips were soaking in the bath together, and Mu Xi leaned against the corner with a cower, as if the water was so cold that he shivered, and crossed his hands in front of his chest. Nima's, all this changed too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the two big men took a shower together, and I really couldn't imagine what would happen next. In fact, from the moment Shao Xuechen jumped into the pool, Mu Xi was stupid, when he took off his clothes and when he entered the pool, these were all blank in his mind.

Shao Xuechen didn't pay attention to Mu Xi at all, just scooped water on his body by himself, and washed it seriously.

"Hurry up and wash, we still have work to do. Shao Xuechen suddenly spoke, in fact, he also felt that the scene was a little embarrassing, and wanted to say something to break the situation, "I know your feelings, but if you don't hurry up and do anything, it may lead to the failure of the mission in the end." ”

It is strange that a wood with a cold face and a tone of voice that seems to be about to draw a sword and cut you at every turn, and who is often in a daze, exuding melancholy and sadness under the shade of a tree, can still understand the mood of others.

"It's ridiculous that I'm taking a shower with a gay sex right now. How can I feel better? This is really the first time a big girl has been in a sedan chair. Mu Xi's whole body was soaked in water, only half of his head was exposed for his nose to breathe, in addition to the sound of talking, there was only the sound of Shao Xuechen pouring water on his body, "I knew the reality was cruel, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel." ”

He has already begun to regret getting on the thief ship of Shao Xuechen, why does he have to find himself unhappy?

The mission has just begun, and he is already so perverted, and he doesn't know what will happen after that, so is it possible to sleep together? If it is to take a bath with the opposite sex, he can still accept it, after all, it is normal for men to love women, and normal men should like women. Teenagers of this age are ignorant, and they are cranky in their minds. Mu Xi doesn't have any big ambitions, he wants to wait until he returns to China after the battle for the throne, after all, he is a royal bloodline, and it is impossible to lose, at least he can mix in the court, and then lie quietly at home to eat and wait for death, when the interest comes, he can also go to the lake, and when he meets a beautiful girl on the street, he can whistle like a hooligan, and his identity will definitely become a tool for marriage, but as long as the object of marriage is not ugly, he can also accompany each other to take a mandarin duck bath or something.

In fact, his idea is very simple, that is, to be a carefree second ancestor, there is always someone to worry about fighting demons and the like. But when did the second ancestor fall to the point of bathing with a man?

Mu Xi is worthy of being a nervous person, he has now come out of the mustard, and comforted himself in his heart, "If life is ** for you, if you can't resist, then it's better to enjoy it." ”

"The man's bath with the woman is called the mandarin duck bath, what is the man's bath with the man called?" Mu Xi blinked, and then blurted out, "Dragon and Tiger Bath?"

The four words "no heart and no lungs" are vividly displayed in Mu Xi. Now that I think about it, it's just a bath, so what's the matter, why bother to be like a resentful woman who keeps an empty room alone.

"Shut up. Shao Xuechen spat out two words from the depths of his throat, like a cat lying on the grass enjoying the first rays of sunshine in winter, stepped on its tail by a frolicking child, jumped off the grass in an instant and ran away, and then roared at the culprit who stepped on its tail. The most threatening thing a cat can do is to get a few blood marks on its face, or a live fish that you just bought from the market, and you are going to slaughter it at night to make soup, but you are not paying attention to it and it is taken away by the cat. But Shao Xuejian is different, his danger factor is definitely greater than that of a cat, and it is impossible to ignore his threat, because you don't know when he will take a sword from somewhere, put it on your neck, and finally slash it lightly.

Mu Xi closed his mouth very knowingly, and made a zipper movement on the side of his mouth to indicate that he would no longer speak. But soon he couldn't help it again, chatterboxer is still chatter after all, even if he was warned, it was only for a while.

"You say, what if the people of the Academy know about our bathing?" Mu Xi patted the surface of the water and splashed one by one, "Then we will be ruined?"

"This is something that only the two of us know, and it is completely possible to skip this paragraph in the mission report or simply make a change. Shao Xuechen said, "As long as we reach an agreement, no one will doubt us." ”

Looking at Shao Xuechen's appearance, he probably felt that this matter was too embarrassing. Mu Xi had no doubt that if he revealed this matter, Shao Xuechen would definitely "kill people and kill people". But talkers also have a bottom line for talking, not to mention things related to their own face.

"Senior Sister Lin went to Maple Leaf City and stayed with Su Xun, so you don't have any ideas?" Mu Xi asked tentatively, he dared to guarantee that he just wanted to find some topics to talk about with Shao Xuechen.

"Nope. The choice is in her hands, and that's her freedom. ”

Nowadays, if someone asks Shao Xuechen if he likes Lin Yunzhu, he will tell that person categorically that he likes it, but he never shows it in normal times. Because he thinks that it is not necessary to make everyone know if he likes someone, many people pursue a girl and want to make a fuss all over the city, in order to show how much they like her, but they don't want to think that girl will fall into an embarrassing situation because of this, and what kind of mood they will feel after being rejected with confidence and expectation.

For uncertain things, you shouldn't hype them up and make them known to everyone, so as not to be embarrassed to even meet in the future and make friends unable to do it.

"But Su Xun stalked Senior Sister Lin in the school palace, and it is estimated that it will be the same over there. Aren't you afraid that he really snatched Senior Sister Lin away?"

"She's not an object, she doesn't belong to anyone. ”

Mu Xixin said, "Brother Ren, you have a really big heart, if she is really snatched away, you won't even have a place to cry, it seems that you have a straight face all day long, I guess you won't even cry, right?"

"And what if she was really snatched away?"

"If she likes me, then she will wait for me. Just like in the story, the wife sits in front of the window all day looking into the distance, waiting for her husband to go on the expedition. Shao Xuechen said, "In short, what is mine is mine, not mine, and it is useless to force it." ”

"What do you mean, just don't force it? Mu Xi shrugged, "That kind of story is a lie to children, according to reality, either the husband who went out on the expedition died on the battlefield, or the husband returned victoriously and found that his wife had remarried." ”

"I remember you saying that you liked her too. Shao Xuechen suddenly looked straight at Mu Xi, "Just when we first met." ”

Mu Xi was frightened by the sudden gaze, his sword-like gaze, extremely aggressive. He felt that he couldn't bear it, and the only person who could be stared at by Shao Xuechen was Su Xun, which should be regarded as a kind of vanity. He didn't know what Shao Xuechen would do in the next second, this new chief has always been domineering and cold, in order to get out of school to be able to work with the executive director, it is called unruly if it is good, and it is called neuropathy if it is bad. He didn't want to be caught and beaten by a nervous disorder, this was not in the school palace, and he couldn't reason.

"So apart from your partner, you're still my rival?"
