Chapter 42 Hot Spring Bathing
That night, Wei Qingxiao returned to the Plum Palace with Ye Jinyi, accompanied by the woman named Sequoia. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The plum palace is at the foot of Lingyan Mountain, but it is not as grand as other sects, but like a cave palace, all the palaces and furnishings are set up according to the cave, which is quite a natural beauty.
Although it is a cave palace, it is not cramped, but it is much more spacious than ordinary residences, it looks comfortable, and there are a lot of things that should be there. As soon as you enter, you can see two red plum trees planted on the high platforms on the left and right sides of the wooden bridge leading to the main hall. There is a large mouth in the stone wall near the plum tree, and the water is poured into it from nowhere, like a waterfall, and it merges into a pool, and you can vaguely see fish swimming in the pool.
The intervals of each cave are not separated by wooden doors, but are interrupted by red curtains, and the red candles on the walls of the cave flicker, adding a warm color. It's just such a cave palace, so that Ye Jinyi has a sense of security just after he walks in, and even he doesn't know why.
As soon as they walked into the cave palace, there were many beautiful women in red standing on both sides of the wooden bridge, and when they saw Wei Qingxiao and Ye Jinyi walking in, they all bowed down and said, "Welcome to the palace master." ”
Ye Jinyi glanced slightly, except for the women standing here to greet them, there were also women standing in the main hall. There doesn't seem to be any other man here except them, thinking of this, Ye Jinyi suddenly shuddered, when this kind of situation occurs in a sect, then the biggest possibility is that the owner of this plum palace has been hurt and doesn't like to see men.
Of course, the owner mentioned here is not Wei Qingxiao, but his mother, Mrs. Luohua.
Wei Qing smiled: "Get up." ”
After speaking, he took Ye Jinyi's arm and walked across the wooden bridge, walked to the main hall, looked around, and asked, "Where is my mother?"
A maid next to her walked up, bowed down and said, "Madame is reading in the room, and I specially told the palace master to come back and see her." ”
Hearing this, Wei Qing smiled and turned his head to Ye Jinyi and said, "I'll go see my mother first, and I'll look for you in a while." ”
Ye Jinyi said: "Madame must be worried, you should go quickly." ”
Wei Qing smiled and nodded, then turned his head to the redwood and said, "Take the night boy to the room." ”
With that, he walked through the main hall and walked briskly to the left. Seeing Wei Qing leave with a smile, Sequoia raised her hand to the left, and smiled at Ye Jinyi: "Childe, please." ”
Ye Jinyi glanced at Wei Qingxiao's back and said, "There is Miss Lao Sequoia." ”
Wei Qingxiao walked into Mrs. Luohua's cave mansion, and just saw Mrs. Luohua sitting at the table reading a book, and was about to go up to speak, when he heard a cold shout: "Kneel!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Wei Qingxiao knelt directly on the ground, without saying a word or raising his head.
Mrs. Luohua raised her eyes and glanced at him, and her tone was extremely cold: "What have you been doing for the past two months?"
Wei Qing smiled and pursed his lips, and after a while, he replied softly: "My son is tracking down Wujimen." ”
"Smack!"
The book in Mrs. Luohua's hand was thrown at him, smashed on his head and then fell to the ground again, but the book didn't hurt too much, but it made his face hot.
Mrs. Luohua's tone suddenly rose a point: "Bastard, I gave birth to you and raised you to take revenge, not to let you go to the mountains and rivers." ”
The point of obsession may be to make other things meaningless.
When a person only has revenge in her eyes, then everything else is useless in her eyes, and they have become a trip to the mountains and rivers without doing her job.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Falling Flower is such a person who is too obsessed.
Wei Qing's smile was buried a little deeper, and he still spoke very meekly, but his voice was not very confident: "My son found out that the death of Shenjian Gate, Cold Moon Villa and Wen Qiongju are all related to Wuji Gate, and my son suspects that Wuji Gate has anything to do with the Yu family back then, maybe it is the old man of the Yu family." ”
When Mrs. Luohua heard this, her expression softened slightly: "Then have you found the Wuji Gate?"
"Nope. As soon as these two words fell, Wei Qing smiled and said hurriedly, "However, now that Qingyue Villa and Wuji Gate are on the same footing, Wuji Gate has made a move to Qingyue Villa, I believe that we will be able to take revenge on this big revenge in the near future." ”
Lady Falling Flowers said with deep inquiry, "Really?"
Wei Qing smiled and trembled in his heart, and said, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Luohua picked up the teacup, drank saliva unhurriedly, and smiled at Wei Qing, who was kneeling on the ground and buried her head in a low voice, before she stood up and walked over, as if she was holding something in her hand. Wei Qingxiao saw the shadow on the ground close to him, and his heart tightened suddenly.
Mrs. Luohua's cold and oppressive voice sounded above Wei Qingxiao's head: "Then do you think that you have only done this in two months, should you be punished?"
Wei Qing smiled and frowned, but still replied without hesitation: "It should be punished." ”
"Hmmm. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a burning pain in his back, and at the same time he heard the sound of whips whipped on flesh wounds, and a hanging whip appeared in his vision.
It was a whip that he was very familiar with, a whip that had been with him for almost twenty years, and most of the scars on his body were due to this whip. But now, seeing this whip, he has been able to change from being scared and uneasy at the beginning to being so fed up and numb now.
He leaned over and said, "Thank you, Mother." ”
Only then did Madame Luohua turn around, sit back at the table, and said slowly, "Get up." ”
Hearing this, Wei Qingxiao slowly stood up, and when he moved, his back began to sting again, but there was no reaction on his face, not even frowning.
The pain in his body is nothing compared to the pain in his heart, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Mrs. Luohua said, "The child who came back with you ······"
This sentence has a preface but no afterword, which is indistinct.
Wei Qing smiled and raised his head slightly to look at Mrs. Luohua, and saw that Mrs. Luohua's face was a little wrong, as if she was hesitating about something. After a while, Mrs. Luohua regained her expression, looked up at Wei Qing and smiled, "It's nothing, you go and rest." ”
Wei Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes, mother also rested earlier." ”
With that, he slowly retreated towards the door, and when he reached the door, he hurriedly turned and walked away quickly, not wanting Madame Falling Flower to see the scar on his back, although he knew that his mother would not be distressed by his injury.
He had just walked to the door of his room, and was just about to raise his feet to enter inside, when he heard an exclamation from behind him, the voice was very familiar, it was no doubt that it was a redwood.
"Master, what's your back······ ?”
Hearing this, Wei Qingxiao first glanced at the room opposite him, and then reacted quickly, quickly turned around and covered Sequoia's mouth, dragged her into his room, and put his index finger in front of his lips and pouted.
Sequoia stared at Wei Qing with wide eyes and smiled, not knowing why, so she could only quiet down. Wei Qingxiao let go of his hand, poked his head out to see that there was no movement on the other side, and then came back and said to Sequoia: "Don't let Yegongzi know." ”
Sequoia nodded a little blankly at first, as if she had reacted to something, stared at Wei Qing with wide eyes in horror, and shook her head quickly.
"Master, you don't like Yegongzi, do you?"
Wei Qingxiao was raising her eyebrows and looking at Sequoia for a while and shaking her head for a while, just about to ask her what was going on, when she suddenly heard Sequoia's words, her body was stunned, and she looked at Sequoia incredulously, as if she had heard something strange.
Fortunately, Sequoia reacted quickly, hurriedly blocked Wei Qingxiao with his hand and ran out, and said loudly as he ran: "I know, I won't tell Yegongzi." ”
"You ······"
Wei Qingxiao was about to catch up and give Sequoia a chestnut, but stopped at the door, the smile on his face was retracted and replaced by great indifference, and then, he turned around and walked towards his dormitory.
His dormitory was divided into two parts, and as soon as he entered, he bypassed the emerald screen and stepped onto a small wooden bridge, which branched off on the left and right sides.
On the left side hung white and red curtains, but now these curtains were tied aside, and there was a pear wood table and a few chairs, and on the innermost side was a large bed, and a red plum blossom was inserted in a white jade vase beside the couch.
On the right side of the wooden bridge, there are also layers of white veils, lift the layers of veils and go inside, you can see a screen made of sandalwood, around the screen, is a small hot spring pool, the milky white mist on the pool is dense, and you can faintly see some red plum petals floating on it.
Wei Qingxiao stepped directly onto the wooden bridge and walked to the right, lifting layer after layer of veil, before reaching the screen, he began to fade the clothes on his body to the ground one by one, just bypassing the screen, there was only a pair of obscene pants left on his body, and his strong chest and arms were exposed. As soon as he raised his hand, the red headband that tied his sideburns loosely behind his head fell to the ground, and a thick black hair fell to cover the clear scar on his back.
"Plop. ”
He jumped straight down, splashing a large splash of water that wet the veil around him, leaving a little water stain behind. His eyes were closed, and his whole body was buried in the water, and his wet hair wrapped around his neck and body like algae in the water. After a long time, he opened his eyes in the water and jerked his head out of the water, sticking to his hair with a few red plum petals.
"Master, it's time for dinner. Sequoia walked in and reminded as she stood outside the veil.
Hearing this, Wei Qingxiao slowly swam to the shore, leaned his back against the shore, leaned his head back slightly, put his arms on the edge of the hot spring, and said, "Please come over to the night boy." ”
"Yes. ”
After a while, Ye Jinyi walked in, saw that there was no one in this room, and frowned slightly, and the sequoia standing behind him pointed to the right side, reminding: "My master is over there." ”
Ye Jinyi nodded slightly, raised his feet and walked across the wooden bridge, walked to the right again, lifted the veil, but saw Wei Qing's smiling scarlet robe on the ground. He paused, bent down to pick up the garment and put it on his arm, and when he went inside, he saw the white robe and belt on the ground, and he bent down to pick it up again. Lifting another layer of veil, and seeing the white coat lying on the ground, he frowned without a trace, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the coat and put it on the screen in front of him, but did not go inside.
"Night brocade clothes. ”
As if sensing his arrival, Wei Qing smiled and whispered to the shore. Hearing this, Ye Jinyi paused for a moment before walking in slowly, and as soon as he saw Wei Qingxiao's bare shoulders, he stopped, standing in place with his head bowed and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Whoa. ”
Wei Qingxiao turned around slightly, bringing up the water splash and making a sound, he directly faced Ye Jinyi lying on the shore, with a slight smile on his face: "Do you want to come down together?"
When Ye Jinyi heard this voice, she raised her head slightly, caught a glimpse of Wei Qingxiao's arms and chest, which were still hanging with water droplets, and couldn't help but take a step back and shake her head.
And the redwood, who was standing at the door eavesdropping, vaguely heard the sentence "Do you want to come down together", trembled suddenly, his head suddenly pressed against the wall, his hand kept being afraid of hitting the wall, and he looked heartbroken and said: "Master, you won't really be a broken sleeve, right?" ”
She was muttering in pain, but she caught a glimpse of a purple-red figure beside her, and she looked up sharply, only to see that Mrs. Luohua appeared at the door without knowing when, and was looking in the direction of the hot spring with a cold face.
She was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, glanced at the side of the veil with some anxiety, and said with some trepidation: "Madam, slave maid ······"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a small red wooden box appear in front of him, and the box still exuded a strong aroma. She looked up and saw Mrs. Luohua speaking expressionlessly: "This is orchid incense, light it in the palace master's room." ”
"Tell me what's going on. After saying this expressionlessly, Madame Luohua swept the right side of the room again before turning to leave.
Sequoia took the box, and though he was puzzled, he put the spices into the small incense burner outside the hot springs, lit them, and then retreated to the door.
Wei Qing smiled and saw that Ye Jinyi not only refused, but also took a step back, couldn't help frowning, and said dissatisfiedly: "Afraid that I will eat you?"
After that, he directly stretched out his hand, looked at Ye Jinyi and said, "Come here." ”
Seeing this, Ye Jinyi thought that such a retreat would be suspicious, so he raised his feet and smiled at Wei Qing for a few steps, and then sat cross-legged on the shore and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wei Qing smiled at Ye Jinyi's cautious, stiff and dull look, and directly reached out to press Ye Jinyi's knees, and said, "Stretch your legs." ”
Ye Jinyi did so, stretching his legs straight, even he didn't know how he could listen to Wei Qing's words with a smile like this.
Who knows, Wei Qing smiled and saw him straighten his legs, and directly reached out to remove his shoes and socks, he was so frightened that he suddenly shrank his legs back, but his face was still the same as usual: "What are you doing?"
Wei Qing's smiling hand paused in mid-air, his face stiffened and seemed to be a little embarrassed, and only after a while did he look up at the night brocade clothes that looked at him vigilantly, and said helplessly: "Soak your feet to drive away the cold and get rid of the dampness." ”
"Oh. Ye Jinyi relaxed at this time, and directly hesitated to take off his shoes and socks, sat on the shore, and soaked his feet in the water, "I'll just come by myself." ”
Seeing Ye Jinyi obediently put his feet into the water, Wei Qingxiao turned around again, leaned back against the shore, tilted his head back slightly and closed his eyes, looking very comfortable.
The air was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of Ye Jinyi's feet slightly splashing, this atmosphere was very subtle.
Slowly, the air seemed to be filled with a good fragrance, which, combined with the steaming heat around at this time, made people feel like they were fluttering.
Wei Qing smiled and said suddenly, "Are you comfortable?"
Ye Jinyi smelled the fragrance and felt a little unfamiliar, and couldn't remember what it was. Hearing Wei Qingxiao suddenly speak, he subconsciously snorted: "Hmm." ”
As soon as the words fell, he felt someone grab his arm and drag him down, and before he could react, he had already plunged his head forward into the water.
In an instant, he felt that everything around him was quiet, and only water filled his surroundings, making his head swollen, unable to breathe, and could only exhale continuously. In addition, the hand that had just pulled him down had been released, and he had nothing to borrow from at this time, and he wanted to speak, but only water poured into his mouth.
His head was confused and he didn't know what to do, he only had a feeling that he was about to suffocate, he could only pick around indiscriminately, in his memory, Wei Qingxiao was obviously not far from him, otherwise he wouldn't just stretch out his hand and drag him down.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Wei Qingxiao also sinking, naked and face to face with him, although it was in the water, he could still see clearly, Wei Qingxiao was laughing.
Bastard. Seeing Wei Qing laughing at this unbeaten smile, although he was about to suffocate, he was still able to curse Wei Qing in his heart and laugh. After this thought flashed, he reached out and held Wei Qingxiao, frowned, and shook Wei Qingxiao's shoulder desperately, as if to remind Wei Qingxiao to pull him up.
If he doesn't go up again, he is really going to die, he was not killed by so many assassinations and duels, but he was drowned by a small hot spring, which is really a bit embarrassing.
It was also at this time that Wei Qingxiao reached out and held his arm, and with a force, he lifted up, and both of them got out of the water.
