Chapter 29: Let's take a bath
Tang Yan did not walk directly to the altar, but first came to the secluded corner of the price comparison, scrubbed his body full of dirt, and changed into relatively clean clothes.
Once the qiΔ was tidied up, he was allowed to walk into the altar.
The baptistery is located inside the giant altar, but in order to be baptized, you must first go to a place.
Under the guidance of the maid, Tang Yan walked through four narrow passages in a row to a misty room, in which six two-meter-high wooden barrels were placed in turn, and the strong medicinal fragrance was exuded inside.
"The liquid medicine in the medicine barrel is specially equipped with more than 20 precious medicinal herbs, which can clean up the dirt from the body and allow you to walk into the baptismal font without a trace of impurities. The maids led Tang Yan to one of the medicine barrels.
"How long does it take?" Tang Yan didn't shy away from it, ripped off his clothes and sat in the medicine barrel, it seemed to be misty, as if it was very warm, but after actually sitting in, it was unusually cool, and the refreshing feeling quickly spread to all parts of the body, as if all the pores began to open, and all the cells began to be active.
Indescribably cool, indescribably refreshing!
"Five minutes is fine. β
Tang Yan closed his eyes, quietly enjoying the strange feeling of being cool to the bones, the potion shook gently as if it had life, caressing the skin of his whole body, clearing the exhaustion and pain all over his body, and the wound behind his back that had recovered a lot was now healing even faster.
Since being reborn in this strange world, until today, Tang Yan has been in the midst of fleeing and fierce battles all the time, never really relaxed, never closed his eyes peacefully, the sudden coolness made him drowsy, and he had the urge to fall asleep without asking anything.
"Young Master, when the time comes, please come with me. The maid's gentle call woke Tang Yan up from her trance, she took a deep breath, and a cool feeling came out of her body, as if her body was suddenly much lighter.
Leaving the medicine pavilion, walk along a gravel road to the underground, the passage is very narrow, only two people are allowed to walk together, and the walls are hung with bright fluorescent stones, which shine inside as if it were day.
The further down he went, the lower the temperature became, and the walls were covered with crystal frost, but as he continued to go deeper, Tang Yan felt an extremely strong breath of life, and the sea of qi in his body became active uncontrollably, like a hungry child greedily sucking nutrients.
After walking for more than twenty minutes and descending hundreds of meters, the maid took Tang Yan to an intersection, with two closed stone gates in front of them, which were guarded by imposing warriors. When Tang Yan arrived, Yang Ruyan was already waiting here, and there was an old man with gray hair next to him.
"Tang Yan, why are you, this is where you should come?" Yang Ruyan looked at Tang Yan who came over incredulously.
"Whether it should be or not, I'm here anyway. Tang Yan winked at Yang Ruyan, unscrupulously roaming over her delicate body, and her hot gaze seemed to penetrate the bath towel to see the scene inside.
Yang Ruyan looked slightly angry: "Believe it or not, I gouged out your dog eyes?"
"Are you willing?" Tang Yan grinned, no longer teasing him, bowed slightly towards the old man, and said quite politely: "I've kept you waiting, let's start now?"
The old man smiled and nodded: "You can start, but I need to explain the situation to you." β
"Please. β
"According to normal practice, this year's baptism has ended a minute ago, but for the sake of the two heads of the Yang family and the Tang family, we deliberately allow it to be postponed for a while. β
"Thank you, Elder, we have taken note of this kindness. Tang Yan and Yang Ruyan both showed relative respect.
The old man smiled mildly and said, "This is not the key, the key is that we can only open one place." In the normal case of baptism, men and women are separated, and today the situation is special, and only one place can be opened, you know what I mean?"
"What?" Yang Ruyan was slightly stunned.
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "You are a good person, I will invite you to drink tea when I turn around." β
The two guards in front of the door raised their eyes, looked at Tang Yan with a strange face, and then looked at Yang Ruyan, who was full of shame and anger, and sighed secretly in their hearts: "What a sin." β
Yang Ruyan was anxious: "Elder, are you sure you are not mistaken? Do you want me to join him? I have heard that there is a natural spring pond inside, the area is not large, and there is no cover, how can you ...... I ......"
"I know it's difficult, but the Empire has mandated thirty baptisms a year, six times a day, for five days. Although it was only done five times today, you have already wasted time because you have been preparing for too long. Let alone...... When baptism is opened, we need to be carefully controlled, which means that we cannot open a baptismal font for a single person. Allowing the two of you to enter a fountain is an exception. The old man smiled, his voice gentle, but his tone was unmistakably resolute.
"Understand, I've bothered you, hehe, I'll go in and prepare. It's like smoke, anyway, you will enter my Tang family sooner or later, why are you shy. Tang Yan didn't suffer, of course he didn't need to care, he whistled and pushed open the stone door.
"You!!" Yang Ruyan's pretty face turned red.
The white-haired old man shook his head amusedly: "Young man, remember one sentence, this is a baptism, not a mandarin duck bath." You must concentrate and calm your mind, and you can't have the slightest distraction, otherwise, you ...... You will be crushed by the spiritual power of the spring pool force, and the consequences will be unimaginable. β
"Elder, I'm ......" How ugly and ugly Yang Ruyan's face was, was this a baptism? Or was it a shame? She even wondered if this old guy had taken advantage of Tang Yan and deliberately let him in to take advantage.
The old man smiled: "Don't be nervous, we will aggravate the fog in the spring pool, and no one can see who clearly." If you are really embarrassed, then you can only say sorry and come back in two years. β
Yang Ruyan struggled hard in his heart, and after a while, he secretly gritted his teeth, stomped his feet with hatred, and walked in hard.
The space here resembles an underground cave, with dense stalagmites and majestic vigor, giving people a sense of natural purity.
There is a spring pond with a diameter of about 10 meters in the central area, which is not too big, crystal clear, crystal clear, and quiet like a virgin.
The air in the cave was filled with a thin white mist, fluttering softly like an elf, and as long as you took a deep breath, you would feel a rich breath of life sink into the bones of your body.
Tang Yan stood in front of the spring pool, his eyes were shining, and the sea of qi in the dantian was churning uncontrollably, looking very excited. According to the memory of the second prince of Tang, this baptism altar in the psychedelic forest is quite special, it uses and guides an earth spiritual vein that crisscrosses the mountain range, which contains extremely pure life force.
For others, the function of the spring pool was only to stimulate the spiritual veins or open the treasure, but for Tang Yan, this was simply an excellent condition for the advancement of the Immortal Heavenly Technique!
So far, Tang Yan has absorbed thirteen spirit source liquids one after another, and the continuous accumulation of refined life essence, the thin mist that has formed in the sea of qi. The speed of physical injuries and physical recovery is getting faster and faster, and light scratches can be completely restored in just a few minutes.
This is only the first stage of the Immortal Heavenly Technique, if you enter the second stage, what kind of magical situation will it have, and what kind of powerful martial arts will it be accompanied by?
Tang Yan is looking forward to it very much!
"If you dare to peek, I will definitely not take you lightly!" Yang Ruyan walked into the spring pool and looked at Tang Yan vigilantly.
"I've touched everything, do you care about looking?"
"You shameless bastard, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now. β
"You shout and kill every day, aren't you tired? Okay, okay, I don't have time to mess around with you today, and the master is not much interested in your incomplete body. β
"Tang Yan!!" The unscrupulous ridicule almost made Yang Ruyan crazy. How can there be such a shameless bastard in the world, why do you just let yourself run into it?
"Why are you so loud, Miss has a need? Sorry, I don't have time. Tang Yan laughed and jumped into the spring pool: "The ridicule is over, let's get down to business, Miss Yang is ready to start, today's baptism is related to the fate of a lifetime, you'd better calm down." β
"Shameless!hooligan!bastard!If you dare to do anything, don't blame me for abolishing you!" Yang Ruyan didn't move, she still stood in place and stared at him vigilantly, so far, she still suspected that Tang Yan had come in on purpose to do something bad.
Gradually, the fog in the cave became thicker and thicker, and in a short period of time, Cheng DΓΉ, who could almost see nothing, still did not move where Tang Yan was. Yang Ruyan continued to be vigilant for a few minutes, and then cautiously touched the spring pool, and hid far away in the most corner.
Tang Yan ignored Yang Ruyan, sat cross-legged in the spring pool, concentrating calmly, holding on to the true one, and carefully feeling the strange changes in the spring pool. The tranquil spring water is as soft as silk, sometimes still without a trace, sometimes without waves, but there is no expected change.
It's like a playful little beast, watching strange guests.
Tang Yan sat quietly, silently waiting, not in a hurry to take action, he could vaguely feel that this divine spring seemed to have some kind of special consciousness, probing himself in a unique way.
