Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 212: Cultivating the Way of Love

"Dou...Lang, I also want to take a look inside your cave magic weapon."

Yu Fengxian spoke to Dou Eqing in a delicate voice.

"But what if I can't get out after I go in?"

Dou Eqing didn't understand the hidden meaning of Yu Fengxian's words.

Yu Fengxian fell silent after hearing this.

She originally wanted to continue her previous enthusiasm, so she decided to give herself to Dou Eqing tonight.

With her cultivation reaching this level, even if she performed the Zhougong ritual with Dou Eqing, she could still retain her pure Yin body and keep all the pure Yin essence in her body until Dou Eqing needed it.

But Dou Eqing didn't know about this situation, so he didn't think about it at all.

So, Yu Fengxian decided to go all out.

She just waved her hand, and a small palace fell on Kuiba's back.

The appearance of the palace dazzled Dou Eqing's eyes. When he looked at Yu Fengxian again, he found that she was already dressed as a bride.

At this time, no matter how stupid Dou Eqing was, he understood what she was thinking.

However, his mood became complicated.

He couldn't help but look up and saw the sun setting in the west and the moon appearing.

As dusk rose from the horizon, the wings transformed from the Pengfei Talisman on the back of the Taotie dragon turtle beast just happened to pass through the last ray of sunlight.

Dou Eqing telepathically ordered Kuiba to hover above the swirling clouds. The setting sun burned the western clouds into a crimson gold, while the mountains beneath his feet faded from their indigo to a crisscross of dark and light ink.

They were just about to fly over the Demonic Snake Beauty Island, but Dou Eqing didn't notice this at the moment.

A cool breeze blew past his ears, and he lowered his eyes to watch the gold shards drifting between his knuckles. As the sun rolled over the mountain ridge, a bluish-white smear suddenly emerged from the depths of the clouds, like a jade disk soaked in a cold spring.

The outline of the crescent moon was not yet clear, but stars were already shining from its side, just like the map of the celestial bodies recorded in the Taoist Canon.

The Taotie dragon turtle beast suddenly made a low gurgling sound, and the wings transformed by the Pengfei Talisman trembled slightly in the air flow.

Obviously, this Pengfei Talisman could not support Kuiba to continue flying.

Dou Eqing quickly replaced the Pengfei Talisman with a new one.

He suddenly felt a searing pain surge in his chest—the setting sun was sinking into the mountains at a visible speed, while the moon seemed to be suspended by invisible threads, breaking through the sky inch by inch. The sunset and moonlight cut through his robes, creating light and dark shadows. The left lapel was still golden and red, while the right sleeve was already covered with silver.

In the distance, a formation of flying birds and monsters flew across the fading sunset, and their tiny cries were torn apart by the strong wind.

He recalled the time when he was at the Demon Hunting Sect's elite disciple trial ground, standing by a deep pool and watching the sun rise and the moon set. The sky reflected in the pool water was always round and harmonious like Tai Chi.

Now, thousands of feet high in the sky, he was struck by the distinct alternation between day and night. Yin and Yang ripped heaven and earth apart, even birds scrambled back to their nests, leaving him hanging in the chasm between day and night.

As the crescent moon finally broke free from the clouds, its bright light radiating forth, Dou E let out a half-laugh through his clear throat. Taoists always claimed that the rotation of the sun and moon was a manifestation of the Great Dao, but who had ever truly paused in this fleeting moment?

He loosened his fingers, letting the last ray of twilight leak through them.

"Let's go."

He said to himself in his heart.

Kuiba seemed to have heard his thoughts and continued to move forward with the small palace.

The moonlight dyed the eaves and corners into silver frost, and the jade tiles, which were made of mutton-fat, shone with soft light like water waves under the moonlight.

If you look from a distance, this place looks like the Nine Heavens Fairy Palace.

Dou Eqing and Yu Fengxian walked into the palace hand in hand.

There was no dual cultivation ceremony, nor was there any worship of heaven and earth. The palace was just decorated very festively, with red candles lit and incense burning.

The two of them sat down around a small table and just had a few drinks to create some atmosphere.

The moonlight gradually grew brighter, and under Yu Fengxian's control, the palace was illuminated by moonlight, and a sense of romance filled the hearts of the two.

Dou Eqing rummaged through his storage ring and took out an exquisite wine jug.

This is a wine jug made of ordinary silver, but the craftsmanship is very exquisite.

He picked up the silver wine pot, and the amber wine made a crisp sound in the mutton-fat jade cup. Yu Fengxian's wide silver sleeves brushed across the gilded table, bringing with them a few wisps of unknown flower fragrance, as if the table was in full bloom at this moment.

"Although the wine jug is just an ordinary vessel, it can brew fine wine."

There was a pink tint at the corners of her eyes, and her fingertips brushed the rim of the cup, just touching his hand, which he had not yet had time to withdraw.

There is a Taiye Pond not far away. The sound of water can be clearly heard, and koi fish jump out of the water, splashing stars all over the pond.

The third round of wine soaked her gold-embroidered skirt, and her hand holding the shark silk handkerchief stopped in mid-air.

A half-moon moved in from the diamond-shaped window, casting her shadow on the vermilion lacquer pillar. The golden phoenix inlaid with a jade hairpin in her hair trembled with her laughter, and its tail feathers swept across his drunken eyes.

The night wind blew the remaining osmanthus leaves across the twelve folding screens. The moment the candle wick burst, she reached out to catch the falling lamp flowers. The wrist bones exposed by her sleeves were more lustrous than the jade toad on the desk.

Time passed quietly. Yu Fengxian loosened the wrinkled tassel and found that the wine in Dou Eqing's cup had already become as calm as a mirror.

Red tears flowed from the silver candlestick with a lotus pattern, forming coral-like beads on the candlestick surface. She raised her hand to straighten her tilted hairpin, but he grabbed her wrist - the warmth of his palm penetrated the gauze, burning the rouge behind her ear and spreading across her snow-white cheeks.

The midnight mist seeped in through the carved windowsills, and the moonlight was moving onto the overlapping hems of their clothes.

The wine in the jug had been drunk up long ago. After all, it was just an ordinary silver jug ​​and could not hold too much wine.

I don't know when the new wine jar was replaced, and it was now mostly empty, reflecting the twenty-eight constellations painted on the dome, with the Azure Dragon constellation just falling on her slightly parted lips.

The sound of a nightingale came from afar, but it seemed to be from behind thousands of layers of gauze curtains.

Yu Fengxian's silk skirt had caught on the jade hook on the belt at some point, and with a crisp sound of collision, half of the silk skirt swept the silver moonlight all over the ground.

The red candle on the carved copper stand shed amber tears. The candle had just burned out, leaving only moonlight in the palace.

The two of them arrived at the palace bedroom without knowing when, and the moonlight cast the green gauze curtains into drifting mist.

At this time, Yu Fengxian was sitting on a jade bed made of a whole piece of warm jade, covered with a veil, and her clothes had changed into a complete bridal suit.

Dou Eqing picked up the short gilded pole from the small table on the jade bed. The sandalwood handle was soaked with the fragrance of jade, and the red silk tassel wrapped around the head of the pole was trembling slightly with his fingertips.

Yu Fengxian lowered her eyes to look at the golden thread of the shawl that fell on her knees. The pattern of "hundreds of sons and thousands of grandsons" flickered in the candlelight with her breathing, but the nine-branched phoenix hairpins in her hair did not move at all.

"Sister Xian'er."

When the short pole lifted the veil, the tiny beads of the curtain made a sound. The soft call rolling in his throat enveloped Yu Fengxian, making her feel that he was the only one left in her world.

The moment Yu Fengxian raised her eyelashes, the moonlight in the room fell into the autumn water flowing in her eyes. Her fingertips touched the lotus pattern on the brocade quilt with mandarin ducks embracing each other, and she gently pushed the half white jade ring to the mattress.

Dou Eqing's wide sleeves carried the scent of pine resin, and he poured two amber lamps from the celadon wine pot.

He tapped the sandalwood tray with his fingers, his knuckles pausing beside the gilded "囍" character. "I'll present the phoenix-head cup to my sister Xian'er."

Yu Fengxian, however, had already picked up another cup with a lotus pattern, and her fingertips lightly grasped his hand holding the cup. "I have a volume of the 'Sustaining Yin and Receive Yang' Sutra that I haven't yet deciphered. I'd like to discuss it with you."

She took out a book on dual cultivation techniques compiled by Lingyu with vivid pictures. The pictures were dynamic, as if they were recorded.

The two of them flipped through the scriptures together, occasionally discussing something in voice.

……

The sound of the night wind strolling drifted in from outside the window lattice, and the copper bells on the eaves rang together with the sound of the night watch.

As Yu Fengxian untied the golden phoenix lace at her temples, Dou Eqing carefully combed her black hair from her pearl necklace. Amidst the rustling sound of the jade comb through her three-foot-long black hair, the bronze mirror with lotus flowers on the dressing table reflected the intertwined sleeves of their two people. The cloud pattern embroidered with silver thread on their crimson wedding dress glowed softly in the moonlight. "Wait a minute."

Yu Fengxian suddenly stopped his hand from taking the wedding cup and pulled out a brocade bag from her sleeve. As her white fingertips flicked open, two jade beads engraved with yin and yang fish landed on her palm, making a tinkling sound. "This is the first time I'm studying the Way of Yin and Yang with you. We should use the harmony of Kan and Li."

Before he finished speaking, Dou Eqing had already pointed at the spiritual vein on her wrist, and the flow of true energy caused the curtain to move without wind.

Suddenly, candles were lit in the room again, and the dragon and phoenix candles burst into twin lamp flowers, blending the shadows of the two people on the wall into Tai Chi Yin and Yang.

As the crimson on Yu Fengxian's ears spread over her pearl earrings, the morning bell of the Taoist temple in the distance pierced through the mist, startling the mandarin ducks that were resting on the twin lotus flowers in the pond.

Dou Eqing resisted the urge to savor the beauty of springtime and circulated the spiritual energy in his body according to the "Shou Yin Receive Yang Sutra", practicing the secret method with Yu Fengxian.

The Sutra of Preserving Yin and Received Yang is precisely the wonderful secret book of dual cultivation that can help Yu Fengxian maintain her primordial yin and ensure a pure yin body.

In fact, in addition to using Dou Eqing to overcome his emotional tribulation, Yu Fengxian also values ​​his Pure Yang Taoist body and Fire Dragon Drill.

The Fire Dragon Diamond combined with the Pure Yang Taoist Body has a huge effect, which can help her go further and more smoothly on the basis of her own cultivation talent.

Therefore, Yu Fengxian was willing to speed up the determination of the cause and effect of this emotional tribulation.

The atmosphere was just right, and the "Shou Yin Na Yang Jing" also connected the spiritual power in the two people's bodies through their palms, and the passionate kiss urged the burning of love.

When the two of them spoke frankly, a powerful voice came:

"Qinghua requests an audience."

It turned out that the new female snake queen of the Demonic Snake Beauty Island intercepted Kui Ba.

Other monsters did not dare to approach Kuiba, but Qinghua, sensing Dou Eqing's presence, knew that the person it was looking for was there.

Therefore, he was not fooled by Kuiba's appearance.

"You can send the Jade Puppet clone to see her, it should be fine."

Yu Fengxian noticed that Dou Eqing's body suddenly stiffened, and continued with her previous enthusiasm while speaking to him in a voice transmission.

Dou Eqing immediately did as he was told, controlling his clone to leave the palace, and his real body became bolder.

"What can I do for you, Your Majesty?"

The Jade Puppet clone asked bravely.

He had to pretend to be calm. For some reason, Qinghua had broken through to the sixth level, but he just didn't pass the tribulation.

Its powerful aura and unfriendly attitude towards Dou Eqing made the Jade Puppet clone feel extremely pressured.

Qinghua now has six heads, one of which has turned into a human head, and the other five are still snake heads.

Perhaps because of her beauty, her delicate face, which was 60% similar to Feng Qiniang, made Dou Eqing look less ferocious, but the five snake heads opened their mouths wide, revealing a pair of long and sharp fangs, which emitted a cold light under the moonlight.

The five pairs of snake eyes showed hatred, and its slender tongue moved in and out, as if it was ready to bite someone at any time.

"Qiniang is already yours. It's not appropriate for my clan to keep her. Besides, if I try to overcome the tribulation, I might trigger Qiniang's own thunder tribulation. Now that she has lost her ability to control herself, if the thunder tribulation falls, Qiniang will have no choice but to die..."

Qinghua quickly stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Puppet's clone looked left and right at her, searching for Feng Qiniang who had turned into a snake egg.

The Jade Puppet's behavior made the Blue and White Snake King angry, and the expression on the delicate face of the human head immediately changed.

She knew what Dou Eqing was looking for.

Although she didn't understand humans, she understood some basic etiquette.

Feng Qinniang was originally from the Duqi snake clan and was married to Dou Eqing, so it was unreasonable for her to be delivered to his door.

Even if there is no grand wedding ceremony, Dou Eqing should come in person to express his importance before he can take Feng Qinniang away.

"Humph!"

Qinghua snorted coldly and turned away, leaving the jade puppet clone at a loss for what to do.

Dou Eqing and Yu Fengxian of the Palace Alliance knew exactly what was happening outside.

Although Qinghua didn't know the situation inside the palace, he could sense Yu Fengxian's aura, which was unique to a powerful cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm.

"We have to hurry, otherwise the auspicious time will be..."

Before Yu Fengxian could finish her words, the entire palace shook, causing Dou Eqing to bump into her and be thrown off the jade bed.

It turned out that Qinghua suddenly whipped Kuiba with its tail, causing Kuiba to almost somersault in the air.

"This is a disaster, and we must face it."

Yu Fengxian said quietly.

She knew that the auspicious time for the marriage with Dou Eqing had passed, and she also understood that this was the so-called "meeting but not getting" phenomenon.

It was one thing to understand it then, but dealing with it now and experiencing it firsthand was even more profound.

This feeling of sweetness amidst bitterness was like poison, and on an emotional level it made her unable to stop.

She then dressed herself and helped Dou Eqing put on his clothes.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xian'er."

Dou Eqing said to Yu Fengxian in a depressed mood.

He took the responsibility for what happened on himself.

"It's okay. This is the tribulation of love. Only truth can be effective."

Yu Fengxian had stabilized her emotions and comforted Dou Eqing in a relaxed tone.

She agreed that the current situation was caused by Dou Eqing.

The reason is Dou Eqing's romantic luck.

"Ah."

Dou Eqing looked a little weak at this time, completely unlike the him who had previously faced the siege of a group of fifth-level Peng Diao monsters alone.

This is because he practiced the "Shou Yin Receive Yang Sutra" and was greatly influenced by Yu Fengxian.

The "Classic of Guarding Yin and Taking Yang" is said to be a fragment left over from the "Classic of Controlling Yang Empress".

The peerless empress Yan Ling relied on the "Yuyang Empress Sutra" to rule over her three thousand male ministers.

Although "The Sutra of the Empress Yuyang" is not as powerful as Dou Eqing's Demon Slave Seal, its effects are very similar, making the target willingly become a slave.

If Dou Eqing wants to get rid of the influence of "Shou Yin Na Yang Jing", he can only help Yu Fengxian overcome her emotional tribulation or conquer her.

He and Yu Fengxian came to Kuiba and saw the huge body of the Blue and White Snake King flying in the air, as if it was swimming in the water.

Qinghua sensed the presence of Dou Eqing and Yu Fengxian, and disappeared into the air in a flash, returning to Lou Lansha Palace, the lair of the snake clan.

Dou Eqing looked at Yu Fengxian.

"Walk."

As Yu Fengxian spoke, she hugged Dou Eqing by the waist and rushed to the snake clan's lair on the Demonic Snake Beauty Island.
