Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 317 Zhai King

Su Lun climbed the cliff with Yuko, and then stopped on the stone platform with a dead tree.

He brought the person up, stood firm, and then said again: "I'm sorry, Miss Yuzi."

"what?"

Before Yuzi could react, her feet fell to the ground again. When she heard this, her pretty face flashed a strange color for a moment. It was like a deer who met a hunter in the woods, and only after realizing it, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su Lun."

The stone platform between the rock crevices is not big, only thirty or fifty square meters. However, there is a clear spring flowing out from the stone crevice, forming an irregularly shaped hot spring pool. The water in the pool is very clear, and the eyes can clearly see the large and small gravel at the bottom of the pool through the dense white air on the water surface.

The mountain is surrounded by snow that does not melt all the year round. Only this stone platform is attached with hot springs, which are moist and wet, and some green plants grow. I don't know how the spring water in the rock crevice came up. The amount of water is not small, and it flows out. It overflows from the pool, and when it is cold, it condenses into ice under the cliff.

Seeing this, Su Lun finally knew why Qianjo would be full of praise for this place.

Chaming Mountain is the highest mountain in the southern part of the mountain. The view from this half-mountain side is naturally excellent. The smoke-filled villages at the foot of the mountain are clearly visible, and the bustling Izumo City in the distance is also looming.

Soak in the hot spring pool and enjoy the moisturizing spring water, while enjoying the snow scene and the panoramic view of the mountain.

Quiet, peaceful, refreshing, like a fairyland.

Chijo took a step forward, and was already soaking in the water at the moment, she watched Su Lun and the two come up, and greeted: "Is the place good?"

Su Lun nodded in approval, "Well, very good."

Qianjo smiled again: "Then don't be stunned, come down and take a bubble. The spring water here doesn't have the sulfur smell of the soup room at the bottom of the mountain. It's very fast."

"Oh."

Su Lun looked at it, the scenery of this wild hot spring is beautiful, but it seems that something is missing.

For example, where to change clothes?

The platform is not very big, and it is transparent at a glance, where is there any cover.

It doesn't matter if he is a big man, but what about this young lady beside him?

The Qianjo master and apprentice have obviously been here many times, and they seem to be familiar with the way. Lolota was undressing, hanging on a stone bulge beside her. After all, the little girl was embarrassed, turned her back to Su Lun and changed into a gauze that was soaking in soup, her ears were a little red, and she quickly jumped into the water.

Although the clear pool water can't block the sight, it also seems to be able to hide people's shame.

Su Lun didn't ink, he knew that when he was standing, the person beside him would be even more at a loss.

He also took off his clothes, and left only one shorts, and walked to the pool.

I tested it with my feet, and the temperature of the spring water was just right.

After soaking the body in the spring water, it is obvious that there is a feeling of relaxing the pores all over the body.

There was no taboo between Su Lun and Chijo, and the two sat facing each other. This angle just turned her back to Yuko behind her, and cleverly avoided the privacy of her changing clothes.

Qianjo looked at Yuzi who was still on the shore, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, the corner of his mouth raised, and he urged, "Miss Yuzi, come down quickly."

"."

When Yuzi heard her words, she knew that she had been tricked.

She glanced helplessly in response, and out of the corner of the eye glanced at the back of Su Lun's head again, feeling inexplicable in her heart.

Because she was already familiar with it, the Miko's face was somewhat embarrassed as she untied the ribbon around the waist of the Miko's clothes with her slender hands.

The white clothes, muscle undergarments, and red hakama were removed one by one, and then they were replaced by the soaking gauze.

This charming spring color is afraid that thousands of men in the world will be obsessed, but unfortunately only the majesty and white snow in the mountains can be seen.

Qianjo stared straight at it, and fanned the flames and said, "No matter how many times you look at it, Miss Yuko's figure is excellent."

Su Lun only listened to the rustling voice behind him, and naturally knew that Yuko was changing clothes.

After listening to Qianjo's words, he also understood that the two of them were teasing each other, and he had become accustomed to it these few days.

To avoid suspicion, Su Lun twisted a hot and humid towel and put it on his forehead, then put it on his forehead and closed his eyes for a nap.

After a while, I heard footsteps approaching from behind.

It was the sound of bare feet stepping on wet stones, wet and soft.

I don't know why, even if I don't look at it, Su Lun's mind automatically sees the scene of a pair of beautiful legs like jade walking slowly.

Then I heard the sound of water, and walked over beside me, very close.

The hot spring pool is irregular, and the size of the hot spring pool is only a few square meters. It is quite spacious for two people, but it seems a little crowded for four people. Even with their legs stretched out in the water, they could touch each other's feet.

Yuzi entered the water, and heard Qianjo greet him with a smile: "Miss Yuzi, come to me."

Yuko didn't respond, walked over silently, and then soaked in the water.

Closing his eyes, Su Lun felt an extra pair of feet in the water, and the occasional inadvertent touch would make people feel extremely smooth.

The water wave rippled for a moment, and soon returned to calm.

On the isolated cliff, at this moment, time seems to have slowed down.

There is only the murmur of water, the whistling sound of wind and snow, and the occasional high-pitched eagle chirping echoing across the mountain stream.

No one spoke for a while, and the four of them all enjoyed the comfortable time in the soup, and their expressions were lazy.

Suddenly, Lolota exclaimed, "Look, there seems to be a person on that snowy mountain!"

Hearing this, Su Lun also opened his eyes, only to find that on another mountain top a thousand meters away, there was a figure walking against the wind and snow in the white snow.

Yuzi glanced at it and said, "That's [Snow Girl]."

Su Lun listened, and immediately had the impression in his mind that he had seen the description of this monster in "Fairy Story".

But looking at the figure in the distance, he was also very curious. His eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see that it was a tall, tall woman like an ice princess.

Lolota asked curiously, "What is [Snow Girl]?"

Yuko said: "It is a beautiful monster that can control the wind and snow, and can occasionally be seen in the snow in the mountains. It often attracts men who enter the snowy mountains to a place where no one is there to kiss them, then freeze them, and take their souls to eat. "

Lolota was amazed, "Wow, is that an evil monster?"

Yuzi shook his head and said, "Not all of them. [Snow Girl] is said to be transformed by the resentment of women who were abandoned by men who did not keep their promises. After turning into monsters, they will only seek out those men who have broken their vows and take their lives."

Resentment?

Hearing the origin of the snow girl's legend, Su Lun's mind started to flow again.

What is the nature of a monster?

It seems that monsters really exist because of some people's beliefs.

In Shanyin's belief system, people believe that everything has a "spirit", including stones and plants.

A monster is not a kind of creature that originally existed in the world, but a "belief collection" that was formed for some special reasons and then passed on orally in folklore.

Almost divine.

Listening to Yuko's explanation, Lolota blinked, looked at Su Lun, and said mischievously, "Mr. Su Lun, that monster only looks for men, you have to be careful~"

"Ha ha."

Su Lun smiled without saying a word.

Qianjo, who was on the side, thought of something, and joked: "It is said that [Snow Girl] has ice skin and jade skin, and now I see it, she looks pretty good. Unfortunately, it is far inferior to our Miss Yuzi."

Saying that, she wrapped her arms around Yuko's slender waist and kneaded her tender skin unceremoniously, "You mean it?"

"."

Yuko has nothing to do with this rogue's actions.

She didn't mind being praised by others, but just reluctantly defended her mouth: "That's a monster."

Thousands of hooligans had a frivolous expression on her face, "The beauty of fairies is the most captivating. But our lady Yuko is more charming than youkai. If I were a man, I would definitely be tempted."

"."

Hearing these frivolous but not disgusting words, Yuko's face was full of tears and laughter.

Saying that, Chijo turned to look at Su Lun and asked, "Kid Su Lun, do you think Miss Yuko is good-looking?"

"Um?"

Su Lun also didn't think that the two jokes would bring the topic to him.

When he heard this, his gaze reflexively glanced at the opposite Yuko.

Although they had been in the same room for the past few days, they had never had a soup together because they avoided suspicion.

After looking at it, I realized that Yu Zi's skin was really white, even better than Bai Xue.

The original loose witch clothes did not show the figure, but now the gauze in the soup is a thin layer, and there is no other clothing inside. This time, the graceful figure was looming, and she couldn't hide it at all. It should be quite upturned, it should be round and round, the scenery is infinitely good

This glance really made people unable to take their eyes off.

In particular, the gauze clothes soaked in soup were made of light and thin materials, and they were wet and attached to the warm jade-like skin, which seemed to cover up.

The straight black hair and handsome face are also impeccable, and there is that dusty witch temperament, giving people a sense of purity and beauty that cannot be desecrated.

Su Lun also knew that Chijo was playing tricks, and said indifferently, "Miss Yuko is naturally pretty."

Hearing this, Yuzi smiled lightly and responded politely, "Thank you for the compliment."

They have gotten to know each other well these past few days.

Everyone is magnanimous, and naturally they will not feel any embarrassment.

"."

Chijo felt that she didn't make a fool of herself, so she pursed her lips with no fun.

Suddenly, the gambler's eyes flashed narrowly and she thought of something. She raised her hand and shouted, "Kid Su Lun, didn't you say you want to show me the seal? Come and show me."

Saying that, she shifted her body, leaving half a seat between herself and Yuko, and beckoned Su Lun to come and sit.

"Oh."

Su Lun didn't care, got up, walked over, and sat beside her.

The pool was originally small, so it was fine for two people in a row, but the three of them seemed a bit crowded.

Chijo didn't mind, and she didn't care if she had a lot of skin contact with Su Lun. But Yuzi was a little nervous. Although he didn't mind soaking in soup together, his behavior was too intimate, and he still didn't feel well.

Three people sitting side by side, even if they tried their best to avoid it, it would still be very crowded.

She wanted to change direction to make room, but Qianjo passed over Su Lun's shoulder and pressed him there, "Ehhh, don't go, it's more lively to chat together a little closer."

"."

Yu Zi couldn't break free from being "squeezed", so he had no choice but to give up.

Su Lun naturally knew that this was Qiantiao's evil interest and ignored it. He looked at the rune language of the forbidden demon seal on Qiantiao's arm, and found a topic to make Yuzi less embarrassed, and asked, "Miss Yuzi, tea Mingshan is said to be the burial place of the 'Huangquan King', is this true? There are so many monsters on this mountain, is it also for this reason?"

Legends belong to legends, but it can be passed on like this, naturally, there is a certain origin.

Besides, there are indeed more monsters on this mountain than others. Even if it is not the buried "Huangquan Lord", there are some other factors.

There was a topic to talk about, and the wicked atmosphere really dissipated a lot.

"Yes, it is."

Yuzi listened with a positive expression and responded: "The Lord of Yellow Spring is the god in charge of death, and the mother god of our Shanyin family. According to legend, when he gave birth to the fire god Kagutu, he was burned by fire and died. He was buried in Chaming Mountain."

This story Su Lun had read in Shanyin Ancient Books before, but there was no detail in Yuko's mouth.

In the end, it's almost the same, anyway, it's a legend.

After telling the story, Yuko said again: "Speaking of which, Mr. Su Lun must have a relationship with our god of Yamagata."

Su Lun was interested, "Oh?"

Yu Zi said: "I saw a fire-based alchemy technique you used before. I want to ask, is that the secret technique of [No Servant of Fire]?"

Su Lun nodded, "Yeah."

Yuzi explained: "Actually, this secret method was passed down from our Shinto religion. This is the secret fire control method passed down by Amaterasu. Later, due to some other reasons, it was spread and it became the "nothing" in alchemy. Servant] Secret Law."

As she said that, she raised her hand out of the water to demonstrate it. She made a sword trick with her two fingers, and said something in her mouth. Suddenly, a golden flame appeared on the tip of her finger.

"what"

Only then did Su Lun know that [No Servant] came this way.

He was proficient in this secret technique himself, so he could see at a glance that the technique Yuko was using was familiar, but somewhat different. What she uses is not the pure fire element energy of alchemy, but also the power of the gods.

Now that the power of Shinto is weak, the power of the followers of God is naturally weak.

So it seems that the power is not as good as Su Lun's level.

Seeing this, Qianjo, who was on the side, thought of something, and added, "I seem to have heard of it. It was said that a Shinto priestess and an alchemist fell in love, and then there was a poignant love story."

Yuzi nodded and said, "Well. That was the period of the nineteenth generation of Saiwang."

Su Lun heard a term and asked curiously, "Miss Yuko is the contemporary King of Zhai?"

Yuzi nodded: "Yes. I am the ninety-ninth generation of Sai King."

Shanyin's imperial power is divinely conferred, and the divine service to the royal family means that he is the God of Amaterasu, and his power is supreme. It was only in recent years when the shogunate came to power that the imperial family of Shenfu gradually lost their absolute dominance.

On the side, Lolota asked Qianjo, "Teacher, what is the King of Zhai?"

Chijo said, "This is the most senior priestess class. Usually it is held by the princess."

Luo Luota looked stunned, and then said doubtfully: "But didn't Miss Yuzi say that she is a witch and won't get married? How could Zhai Wang?"

Hearing this, Qiantiao's mouth curled into a wicked smile, and he deliberately said, "Ah? You should ask Miss Yuzi about this."

Seeing Lolota's naive look for knowledge, Yuko on the side could only respond: "The witch only has to dedicate herself to the gods physically and mentally during her tenure, and cannot be involved in love affairs. But after she resigns, it will have no effect."

"oh, I see"

Lolota is also very smart, listening to this, she covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

PS. In order to keep the plot coherent, I added a chapter last night, and it's together today.
