Chapter 287: Luohua Cave and Zen (Part )
The hot spring bath that Qianwu mentioned was actually a hot spring pool located in a cave. There was a mountain entrance on the top of the cave, and one could see the clouds in the sky by looking up.

The hot spring pools are of different sizes, but the cave is not big, so only the three large hot spring pools are built with stone jade, with wooden floors in between, which has an antique charm.

It is worth mentioning that the several peach trees planted in this cave still have peach blossoms at this time of year because of the hot springs, which is very beautiful.

"Last year at this same time, the faces of the people and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red..."

Xiao Yan was already lying naked in the hot spring pool, with his back against the stone jade bank. He couldn't help but laugh to himself: "I don't know where the person has gone, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze... It's an elegant thing, it's really an elegant thing."

What the Lord of Qianwu Cave said was indeed right. This hot spring bath really had a soothing effect on injuries. Just by taking such a comfortable bath, Xiao Yan felt as if the pain from the arrow wound on his back had stopped, and there was even a slight tingling sensation, and all the tiredness in his body was swept away.

Not to mention that before they took a bath, the Luohua Cave Girl prepared some snacks and tea and placed them on the bank of each pool. It was very pleasant to watch the beautiful peach blossoms and look up at the clouds in the sky.

Hou Qing closed his eyes and leaned back on the bank of the pool, enjoying it just like Xiao Yan. He rarely uttered a "hmm" to show his agreement.

Only You Chuan looked at the closed iron door of the cave with a frown, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Yan smiled, as if he saw You Chuan's worry, and waved his hand without even raising his eyelids, saying: "This prisoner can still have a full meal before going to the execution ground. If there is any trouble, it won't delay us for a while. This hot spring bath is good, take a good soak first, don't be in a hurry."

You Chuan was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, looking at Hou Qing who seemed to have fallen asleep, he didn't know what to say. He was indeed a little worried about Chi Meng, but Xiao Yan had already said so, and the iron door looked very thick, so what else could he do? Just enjoy it first.

It's just the right time to relieve the fatigue from running around these days.

……

Outside the iron gate, a woman who had been listening attentively to the noise inside could not help but sneer: "All men are so stupid. They don't even think about their female companions at all. They really deserve to die!"

The other girl from Luohua Cave also looked cold and asked, "How are we going to proceed?"

"Wait a minute. These men look difficult to deal with. When they relax their guard, we can secretly drug them and knock them out before we take action to avoid any trouble."

"it is good."

At this time, a woman nearby suddenly whispered, "What a pity! These three men are all good-looking, much better looking than those ugly freaks that we dreamed of before. They are completely different! Moreover, one has black hair, one has blond hair, and one has white hair. They all have the right looks, and each one is more handsome than the other. Did you notice that the black-haired guy has a really good temperament and aura? He might even be the son of some village chief out there..."

"What do you know? The blonde one is the prettiest one, tall and cool, especially those eyebrows, which really have personality. I like her very much."

Seeing the young girls start talking, the girl who spoke first became angry and shouted in a deep voice, "Shut up!"

The women suddenly fell silent.

The cave girl said coldly: "No matter how good-looking these mortals are, they are just mortals, no different from those dirty people outside. There are so many good-looking skins in this world, what's the use!? This is why the cave master wants us to cover our faces!"

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together in front of her chest and closed her eyes: "In this world, only the Lord Cave God of the Hundred Thousand Mountains can bring us happiness... Apart from him, all men have evil thoughts, they are all evil people and monsters! Leaving them in the world will only ruin other innocent women in the outside world, you must remember this!"

The women who had been somewhat attracted to Xiao Yan and the other two men froze when they heard this, then nodded heavily with determined eyes.

Their voices were very soft and they were some distance away from the cave, but Xiao Yan and Hou Qing had strong inner strength and good hearing, so they could hear about 70% of what they said.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and thought slowly.

Hou Qing didn't even open his eyes, just muttered to himself: "I was right not to come here. Women are troublesome."

------

Like Guishizi, Luohua Cave is mainly located in a giant tiankeng, and the only way to enter and exit is through the magnificent mountain gate.

Fiery maple leaves can be seen everywhere in this Fallen Flower Cave. The red leaves falling from the sky land on the ground, forming a red carpet. The peach trees, with only dry branches left, are mixed in with it. It does not look abrupt, but rather has a unique artistic conception.

The sound of clear spring water gurgles as it flows downstream along with the slowly moving waterwheel.

The majestic houses are exquisitely shaped and arranged in a staggered manner. If it weren't for the fact that all the people here are women, it might really be a paradise that everyone in the world pursues.

Especially for the people outside who are experiencing war at any time, if you really tell them about it, they will probably just think it is a fabricated story.

Ji Ruxue and Chi Meng were taken to a bamboo building to rest. They saw almost every bit of the beauty of the Luohua Cave wherever they went and were amazed all the way. Chi Meng often opened his mouth wide, as if he was shocked by such a dream factory.

However, Ji Ruxue seemed to have realized that this road, which happened to be a good place to see the beauty of Luohua Cave, might have been carefully selected and built. Looking down, looking from afar, looking up close, it was full of attraction everywhere, as if everywhere was saying that Luohua Cave was a true shelter for women in the world.

It's beautiful, but also weird.

Ji Ruxue hugged the Tang sword tightly, thinking about what Xiao Yan had just whispered to her and Chi Meng: "No matter what conditions the Qianwu Cave Master or any other Luohua Cave Girl puts forward, you must agree to them. Under this premise, try to get as many words as possible. Besides that, you must ensure your own safety first, and don't worry about our safety."

Thinking of this, Ji Ruxue did not refuse Luohua Dongnu's arrangement. She took off her clothes with Chi Meng and bathed in the same room.

During this period, Chi Meng felt a little embarrassed.

She never imagined that the young lady, who looked so slim, actually had such a good figure, with a curvy figure, and just the right amount of flesh where it should be, and just the right amount where it shouldn't be, with fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs. She was so beautiful!

But Chi Meng was not discouraged. She was two or three years younger than the young lady. She was not in a hurry and could take her time.

But even if it was to comfort himself, Chi Meng would secretly glance at Ji Ruxue from time to time. The more he looked, the more he liked her. No wonder Xiao Guoguo always took the little sister with him wherever he went.

Ji Ruxue didn't take it seriously. She had long regarded Chi Meng as her sister. The temperament of this little girl from Raojiang was very similar to hers. She was straightforward and daring, and especially had a good vision. She took a liking to Xiao Yan at first sight.

This is the kind of man this girl likes, one who can charm thousands of girls. Ji Ruxue doesn't mind Xiao Yan's relationship with other women. She is only worried that those women will deliberately take advantage of Xiao Yan. So at the beginning, Ji Ruxue's feeling towards Jiang Chen was not good, and she even felt a little repulsive.

Of course, she couldn't make decisions for Xiao Yan. She could only secretly be wary of women like Jiang Chen. If the time really came and Xiao Yan couldn't do it, she would sacrifice the feelings between them and would risk her life to help Xiao Yan solve the problem.

The most important thing is that although Ji Ruxue did not show it openly, she really admired Xiao Yan!
After seeing Chi Meng's indescribable admiration for Xiao Yan like a little fan girl, Ji Ruxue couldn't help but feel secretly happy. The man she chose is not bad, right?

Back to the point, Ji Ruxue and Chi Meng didn't talk after taking a bath in the wooden barrel. They were thinking about their own things, but they were inevitably a little wary of this seemingly peaceful and beautiful but obviously strange Luohua Cave. Soon, light footsteps sounded, and just by the footsteps, the two women knew that the person coming was Qianwu.

Because the shoes Qianwu wore were very distinctive, high-heeled boots, there was a different kind of beauty when she walked on the road, and the knocking sounds were also quite rhythmic, so even if the sound was subtle, it was hard not to attract attention.

This kind of boots is very rare in Chi Meng, but Ji Ruxue has seen it many times.

The shoes that Empress Changsun wore were "made of red feathers, decorated with gold leaf clouds on the front and back, one foot long, and about three inches high at the bottom", which were similar to this kind of boots. In Huanyinfang, Fanyintian liked to wear this kind of high-heeled boots, and walked slowly and leisurely, with great attention to manners.

This kind of shoes has a nice name, "Wanxia", which literally means that the soles of the shoes slowly fall down, high and dangerous. Although it is definitely not that comfortable to wear, it is clean. You don't have to worry about getting your feet wet in puddles or getting the uppers wet, which is good for certain identities.

Following the sound of footsteps into the room, Qian Wu walked in gracefully and sat on a wooden chair that had been prepared long ago, with her legs crossed. Her beautiful long legs paired with the pair of high-heeled boots were particularly pleasing to the eye.

She sat there and did not say anything immediately. Instead, she quietly folded her hands on her knees and carefully observed Ji Ruxue and the other girl. Although her expression was still cold, there was admiration in her eyes, without any falsehood.

Chi Meng's face tightened, and she carefully dived down a little more. She didn't want a strange woman to see her naked body like this. After hiding herself, she asked weakly: "Sister Qianwu, what are you going to do?"

Qian Wu nodded and said, "Yes, there is one thing I need to ask the two Ayas."

"I'll tell you what I'm talking about." Ji Ruxue leaned on the edge of the wooden barrel like a small inkstone, closed her eyes and said as if taking a nap: "We are already inconvenienced by borrowing the passage of Luohua Cave. If you have anything to ask, please don't hesitate."

Qian Wu nodded calmly and asked, "Where did Aya and her group come from?"

"The Poison Cave!" Chi Meng spoke immediately, but Ji Ruxue said bluntly, "Central Plains."

Then, without waiting for Qianwu to ask, Ji Ruxue stood up and asked, "Where is Qianwu Cave Master from? Or has he been in Luohua Cave since he was born?"

Qian Wu was a little surprised, but did not avoid the question, saying: "No man is allowed in Luohua Cave, and no one is born in Luohua Cave. But to be honest, I don't know where I am from. In my memory, it seems that I have always stayed in Luohua Cave. I have no impression of other places."

"Oh?" Ji Ruxue couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Has the Qianwu Cave Master never left this place?"

"Of course not." Qian Wu said, "There are many sisters in Luohua Cave, and new sisters come here from time to time. They all need a guide, so I will never leave Luohua Cave."

"So, the Lord of Qianwu Cave stays here just to serve as a guide for the other girls in Luohua Cave?" Ji Ruxue grasped this point and asked directly without any hesitation.

"Yes and no." Qian Wu suddenly smiled: "I follow the instructions of the cave god to guide the sisters in Luohua Cave. This is to complete the task as the cave master, and also to wait with the sisters for the cave god to come here to marry us one day."

"What on earth is this cave god you're talking about?" Chi Meng couldn't help but be curious and asked in astonishment, "You have so many sisters, are you all going to marry him?"

Qian Wu smiled lightly, but did not answer. Instead, he glanced at Ji Ruxue and suddenly asked, "Among the three men traveling with you, are there two of Aya's lovers?"

Ji Ruxue nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Chi Meng's cheeks turned red and she was a little hesitant.

Ji Ruxue glanced at her and answered for Chi Meng: "She has it too."

Qian Wu didn't seem surprised, and continued to ask politely: "Then, I wonder why the two Ayas like that person, or should I say, love him?"

Chi Meng's cheeks turned even redder and she felt even more embarrassed. She was only fifteen years old this year and the young lady was next to her. How could she have the nerve to say that?

Ji Ruxue sneered and said, "This has nothing to do with the cave master."

"No, it's related." Qian Wu smiled faintly and said, "From now on, the two of you are the fallen cave girls here. As the cave master, I naturally need to sort out your worldly relationships for you two."

"What!!"

Chi Meng suddenly stood up, eyes wide open, first in bewilderment, then stammered: "Who... who said we are going to be fallen women... Don't rely on your beauty to talk nonsense here..."

Ji Ruxue also frowned.

Qian Wu still maintained his composure, as if he had experienced many such situations, and then said calmly: "As the master of Luohua Cave, I have the responsibility to save the women in the world who are in distress on behalf of the cave god."

"Hey Hey hey!"

At this time, Chi Meng finally became furious, with his hands on his waist, saying in disbelief: "Which eye of yours saw us fall into misery!"

Qian Wu smiled faintly, as if he had expected it, and spoke softly and slowly: "Women in the world, as long as they are involved in the word 'love', will inevitably suffer. But there are too many women in the world. I can't care about women from the outside world, but I should care about the women who come to my Luohua Cave. The cave god said that if a woman is trapped by love, she can practice in Luohua Cave. If she is not obsessed, trapped, or resentful by love in the future, he will come here to marry her..."

"Did the cave god you mentioned give you a drug that could make you mad?" Chi Meng expressed his doubt: "Look, you girls have been here for many years, has the cave god ever come? Can he carry you when you are tired? Will he give you acupuncture when you are sick? Will he come to save you when you are in danger? Obviously he can't do that!"

Ji Ruxue had been frowning the whole time, but remembering what Xiao Yan said, she just asked, "You said that the woman who enters here will become a fallen woman, so what about the man?"

Qian Wu stood up and said, "Men in this world are all evil. Many disputes in the outside world were instigated by these men. Countless women have been displaced and reduced to commodities. How miserable are they? But I have no control over the outside world. Once you enter here, any man will die."

"You are clearly making up stories!" Chi Meng was very angry, but she didn't know how to refute it for a moment, so she clenched her fist and said, "You are not allowed to do anything to them!"

Qian Wu glanced at Ji Ruxue who was frowning, and smiled sweetly: "You don't believe it?"

As she spoke, she clapped her hands.

Immediately, a girl from a cave walked in.

Qian Wu gave her a few instructions without being shy about addressing the two girls, so Ji Ruxue and Chi Meng clearly heard the words about some medicine and waiting for a while.

Then, she looked at Ji Ruxue and the other person and smiled calmly.

"Since you two Ayas don't believe it, why not take a look?"

"What kind of ugly appearance will your loved one have?"
