After some careful instructions, Ge Shu Wuluan and Yan Qisha hurriedly left the palace and headed to Xianju Mountain, regardless of their travels.
Because they had to return in time for the night banquet, the two of them speeded up their journey and set foot on the mountain in less than a cup of tea.
Along the way, although the two of them walked side by side, they were relatively silent and silent all the way.
Men are rarely silent.
Ge Shu Wuluan, on the other hand, was deliberately suppressing his floating emotions and had no time to take in the beautiful scenery of Yixiao in the mountains. He only focused on stepping on the road under his feet, occasionally checking the terrain, paying attention to where the road conditions were inappropriate, and would repair it the next morning. .
However, this depressing atmosphere of relative silence made her extremely flustered, uneasy, and even difficult to adapt to. When she recalled the scenes that happened last night and her various behaviors at that time, she felt her cheeks burning. The temperature is rising, and my heart is gradually burning into a chaotic fire.
After being so confused all the way, we finally arrived at the Ronghua Palace located halfway up the mountain.
"We're here." A low male voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which suddenly brought back Shu Wuluan's chaotic and wandering thoughts.
Taking a closer look, I found that I had stopped at the door of the Hot Spring Palace at some point. At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker. A waning moon rose in the pale ink-like sky, and the hazy moonlight poured everywhere. Below, against the misty clouds and mist lingering in the mountains, it looks a bit misty and desolate.
The Ronghua Palace in front of you is a naturally formed hot spring cave. Therefore, in order not to destroy this natural feeling, the late emperor ordered that the entrance of the cave be maintained in its original appearance without any excavation or repair, but only added a new one. A bluestone door serves as an isolation barrier.
At this moment, torches were already burning on the rock walls to the left and right of the stone gate. As the evening wind blew by, the flames made a roaring sound. The light of the fire was dim and flickering, but it was also extremely bright, illuminating the scenery in front of them very clearly.
Looking up, I saw a long plaque made of ink jade, hanging high above the stone door, with three elegant characters - 'Ronghua Hall' carved on the plaque.
The mountains in the autumn evening were already chilly to the bone, and with the gusts of night wind, it became even more chilly. However, instead of feeling the slightest chill, brother Shu Wuluan now felt that his whole body was chilly. It is surrounded by a lingering warmth.
There is no other reason, just because bursts of water vapor are coming from the cracks of the stone door, bringing with it a bit of moist warmth, which makes people feel tired and exhausted physically and mentally.
She really wanted to find a bathtub on the spot and take a good bath, she thought secretly.
At this time, the two garrison soldiers on the left and right side of Shimen saw the two men stopping here. They looked at each other, stepped forward and clasped their fists and said, "Are these two adults the imperial envoys who came to inspect the celestial phenomena?"
Brother Shu Wuluan came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and said, "Exactly." He thought to himself that these two guards were very clear-sighted people.
Yan Qisha took a long glance at the jade plaque, an unknown light flashed through his blue eyes, and quietly ordered: "Open the door."
The two soldiers responded with a "yes", turned around in a hurry, and twisted the mechanism on the stone wall. "Boom..." A muffled sound floated in the mountains at night, which seemed a bit heavy and abrupt.
Following the muffled sound that echoed for a long time, the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful warm current spread out.
The two of them stepped in without hesitation.
As soon as I entered the cave, I felt that there was a vast expanse in front of me, a scene unlike anything in the cave. This naturally formed huge cave is not only spectacular and gorgeous, it can be called a rare wonder in the human world!
You can see the night pearls of different sizes inlaid on the rock wall and on the stone steps. The colorful luminous pearls complement each other and exude a dreamlike brightness. The entire cave seems to be filled with bright stars, looking so clear and so bright. It's like a dream.
Looking left and right, I saw that the rock walls on both sides were composed of many stalactites, forming a magical picture, which was naturally interesting: there seemed to be tall peaks, dense forests, thousand-year-old trees covering the sky with thick shade, and beautiful buildings and jade buildings. , there are small bridges, flowing water, and willows dancing on the banks...
Set against the colorful pearls, looking through the drifting mist of steam, it looks illusory and majestic, like a fairy palace.
Slowly moving his gaze downward, he saw a naturally formed warm water flowing at the foot of the rock wall. It was rippling and rippled, as clear as blue, and the rocks at the bottom of the water were revealed. The water flows along the zigzag stone bed and creates a layered waterfall, giving people a sense of tranquility.
This waterfall was long and thin, winding and snaking, and finally flowed into a fist-sized water cave. With the sound of gurgling and falling, a new wave of water surged up from the source of the water. It goes round and round like this, flowing endlessly at the foot of the indigo-like rock wall.
Beside the water flow is a circle of strange and strange rocks with different shapes, some are abrupt, some are strange and colorful, some are like dragons and phoenixes...
These strange stones of different shapes are set against the clear blue stream filled with water vapor, giving them a faint sense of exquisiteness and transparency.
A slight amount of water vapor adheres to the stone surface, forming tiny water droplets. When illuminated by the night pearl, it shines with crystal clear light.
Such layers of colorful pearls, indigo rock scenery, green streams and strange rocks, and warm waves render the scenery in the entire cave like a spring scene.
Give people a picture, "Falling flowers and flowing water will disappear, and there will be no other world than this world." 'Natural and beautiful pictures.
No wonder the late emperor loved this place so much and set it up as his royal hot spring palace. It turns out that the wonders here are unmatched by anything in the world!
It's no wonder that the late emperor only ordered people to dig hot spring pools, but not to repair the entire cave. It turned out to be a wonderful view here, and there was no need to modify it. If you impose icing on the cake, it will only destroy the original appearance and cast a shadow on this natural beauty. A layer of vulgar color.
Just when Ge Shu Wuluan was deeply intoxicated by the scenery in front of her, unable to extricate herself, a clear ticking sound inadvertently pulled her thoughts back.
When I heard the sound and looked up, I found that the steam water droplets attached to the top of the rock were dripping slowly, like drizzle, falling bit by bit into the water under the rock, making a series of pleasant sounds of ding-dong-ding-dong, accompanied by The echo of dripping water seems to weave a piece of graceful fairy music, which can indeed purify people's soul.
He closed his eyes and listened quietly for a moment, then slowly retracted his head, but when he lowered his head, he found that the man was no longer around him.
Before, he had been standing beside her without making a sound for a long time, which made her think that he was also attracted by the magnificent scene in front of her. Unexpectedly, he disappeared in such a blink of an eye. Where did he go
After scanning around, I felt that the misty water vapor was getting thicker and thicker than smoke, which had obscured my vision, making it difficult to see the surrounding scenery clearly. However, I could not find the shadow of the man.
Brother Shu Wuluan was secretly angry. He walked away without even saying a word to her. This man was really hateful all the time.
Cursing in his belly, he stepped down the last stone step and unconsciously called out, "Yan Governor's seat... Yan Qisha, where are you? Answer me."
No one answered.
"Master Yan, where are you?"
Still no one answered.
"Yan Shaxing, you will die if you answer..."
By the end of his words, his tone had become impetuous.
However, the only answer she received was the echo of her own voice.
This made her feel very depressed, and she couldn't help but stamp her feet. Unexpectedly, as soon as the plain dark boots fell to the ground, she felt a slight pain under the soles of her feet.
He hurriedly lowered his eyes and stared, and saw an uneven gravel road under his feet. The colorful pebbles were shining with the halo of the pearl, and the dazzling brilliance was eye-catching at first sight.
This gravel road spreads under the feet, winding and twisting towards the depths of the cave.
Brother Shu Wuluan stepped on the stumbling stones and walked forward along the path, the sound of his footsteps echoing around him.
The further we walked in, the steam became thicker and thicker, as if frost and mist were falling. The things in front of us became increasingly unclear, as if covered with a layer of smoke, and the air became increasingly warm and overflowing. A warm breeze blows against my face, but it is warm but not stuffy.
It is worthy of being a natural place with the same warmth throughout the four seasons!
As he walked, Ge Shu Wuluan noticed that the gravel road under his feet suddenly divided into three forked paths. He expected that these three paths should lead to three hot spring pools with different temperatures.
After scanning the three forked roads in front of her, her intuition told her that she should choose the middle one.
He took steps without hesitation and continued to move along the winding path in the middle.
The night pearls on both sides of the road exuded clear light, coating her plain clothes with a layer of soft light, making her capable and slender figure look misty and graceful.
After walking for a short time, Ge Shu Wuluan felt that his vision had gradually returned to clarity. The steam all around was still there but not as heavy as before, like light smoke floating in the air.
At the same time, the sound of gurgling water came to my ears. When I looked around, I saw a huge hot spring pool under the side rock.
From the gurgling sound, she realized that this hot spring was indeed a living spring, and it was a living spring that circulated endlessly.
But I saw that the exquisite and beautiful bluestone round pool was filled with warm spring water, crystal clear and filled with water vapor. The carved patterns of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes can clearly be seen on the stone steps beside the pool.
It is expected that the water in this square pool was provided for the emperor and concubines to enjoy bathing.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze. When he raised his eyes, he happened to come into contact with the blue-grey figure standing upright not far away from the opposite side.
That enchanting silver hair, who else could it be if it wasn't Yan Qisha? !
Duan saw the straight figure of the benchmark, holding the jade extension high, as tall and straight as a pine, set off by the smoke-like water vapor, misty and misty, like a banished immortal descending from the dust.
Just looking at the back makes people unable to take their eyes away. If you look back and smile, wouldn't it take away the person's soul? !
She licked her tongue secretly, her eyes unconsciously intoxicated and lost.
However, the man in front of him didn't seem to notice that someone was watching him intently behind him. He stood silently with his hands behind his back as before, but his back looked vaguely desolate and lonely.
For a moment, Ge Shu Wuluan came back to his senses, feeling a little secretly ashamed of himself. He was so focused on gathering his emotions that he didn't notice the desolation looming on his back.
For a moment, she regained her composure and walked towards the man. As soon as her footsteps landed beside him, a slight scolding followed her lips, "I called you before, why didn't you respond? Really?" , I didn’t even say a word when I left, so I looked for you everywhere... I said you don’t know the purpose of our coming here? Hey, may I ask why you are standing here in a daze? "
