The person that Pei Yunshu pointed at in the mirror was tall and graceful, with a graceful figure. His light-colored clothes were blown up by the wind, his thin lips were curled into a smile, his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were bright. Even if there were dozens of strange thin swords flying around him, he did not arouse any fear.
But Pei Yunshu's tone was as if he was stating an inevitable fact. His voice was light, but it made Hua Yue break out in a cold sweat.
The fox and Pei Yunshu looked at each other for a few seconds, then he gritted his teeth, lowered his head and bit the fingers of his other hand again, speeding up the process of opening the fox clan's secret realm.
Pei Yunshu pursed her lips and looked in the mirror again.
Yun Cheng has high cultivation and medical skills, and has a deep understanding of formations and talismans. Whether in the past or now, Pei Yunshu feels that there seems to be nothing he doesn't know.
Yun Cheng, who was standing outside the formation, also began to move.
Yun Cheng walked slowly around the mountain. Every few steps, the flying sword beside him would sink deep into the ground at his command. Yun Man looked at his movements with a sullen face, "Tell me, where is Fourth Junior Brother now?"
The eldest senior brother next to him said: "If there is no abnormality, the secret realm is not open. Since there is a formation here, Junior Brother Yunshu is in the formation."
They and the demon cultivators standing nearby did not disturb each other and kept to themselves. Hua Jinmen provided Yun Man with the news about the fox clan's secret realm, and Yun Man and his group let them wait here for Yun Cheng to break the formation.
Even though Yun Man knew that Junior Brother Yun Shu had not yet entered the secret realm, his expression was still not looking good.
Second Senior Brother just walked around and came back to them. He glanced at Yun Man and said, "I hope nothing happened to Fourth Senior Brother."
"That fox has always loved beautiful women," the head of the Huajin Sect put his hands behind his back, smiled meaningfully, and interrupted, "Your junior brother is safe."
The three people from Shanshui Sect seemed not to have heard it. Yun Man looked at Yun Cheng, "How long do you have?"
Yun Cheng turned his head to look at the empty space in front of him where more than a dozen rapiers had been inserted, and smiled slightly, "Less than a quarter of an hour."
The mirror can only see the image but cannot hear the sound.
But Pei Yunshu watched his second senior brother walk around and around, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He frowned and urged again, "Hua Yue."
The fox was so busy that he felt dizzy. The talisman he drew on the stone tablet began to appear faintly, which was a sign that he was about to succeed.
He was delighted and turned to look at Pei Yunshu, "Beauty, it's done!"
Pei Yunshu felt relieved and looked towards the barrier. Sure enough, the barrier began to appear and disappear.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from behind. The smile on Pei Yunshu's face froze. He was about to turn around to look when a stream of water suddenly swept him and the fox, rushed into the secret realm through the gap in the barrier, and disappeared in front of people in an instant.
A long and thin sword hit the stone tablet hard. The sharp sword could not penetrate and slipped off the stone tablet. If it weren't for the water flow, Hua Yue, who had just been standing there, would have been hit by the sword.
Yun Cheng raised his eyebrows, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his hands, and said to his fellow apprentices behind him, "One step too late."
*
The sudden flow of water swept Pei Yunshu and Hua Yue until they saw a lake and then stopped completely.
The scenery inside the secret realm was completely different from the desert scenery seen before. The water flowed away from Pei Yunshu. His whole body was intact, but the ends of his hair were accidentally caught in the water flow, and water was dripping down.
A pair of hands stroked his hair, applying force at the ends, and the water that had soaked into his hair slid down the fingertips of the hands to the ground.
Pei Yunshu stopped moving, held his breath and followed the person behind him.
The person behind him wrung out his hair, then gently touched Pei Yunshu's face with his ice-cold fingertips.
The fox demon, who was coughing up water, raised his head and almost fainted, "Jiao, Lord Jiaolong!"
Zhu You glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Pei Yunshu. He seemed to have found happiness and kept poking Pei Yunshu's cheek gently with his hand.
Zhu You was concentrating on playing, poking a shallow hole one by one.
Pei Yunshu's face was thin and had already been stained with a light red. He turned his face away to avoid Zhu You's hand, but Zhu You also turned sideways as he did and used his other hand to carefully poke his other cheek.
"Zhu You," Pei Yunshu whispered, "Let go."
Zhu You glanced at him, withdrew his hand, and lowered his eyes to stare at the fingertips that had just poked Pei Yunshu.
The fox was so frightened that he dared not speak, but after a while he recovered and lay by the water looking at his own appearance. He was so ugly that he did not look like a beautiful woman at all. This was really unbearable, so he immediately took out a handkerchief and comb from his sleeve and tidied himself up.
The area around the lake was vast and quiet. Pei Yunshu looked at the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, a fine and dense rain began to fall from the sunny sky above his head.
The rain fell very suddenly. When it dripped onto Pei Yunshu, the scene in front of his eyes changed. The lake and the forest disappeared. The next moment, a red veil covered his eyes and his feet were shaking, as if he was sitting in a sedan chair.
*
The sedan chair swayed, and the veil covering her head swayed with it.
Pei Yunshu took off the red veil on his head and looked to the side. Huayue was also covered with a red veil and was sleeping sweetly beside him.
The two of them were still wearing their own clothes, the only new additions were the bright red sedan chair and the red veil on their heads. Pei Yunshu woke Huayue up in a low voice, and Huayue opened her eyes dazedly, then turned pale with shock.
Pei Yunshu said: "There is so much noise outside, just like getting married in the mortal world, but I don't know if this is an illusion."
The fox's beautiful eyes were filled with worry, "My beauty, this is not an illusion, this is a fox getting married."
"Neither you nor I know which fox will marry us."
Pei Yunshu frowned.
The sedan was more than enough for him and Huayue. The windows were covered with paper, so one could only see dancing figures outside the window and the music being played that sounded neither happy nor sad. Everything was extremely strange.
He stretched out his hand, but the Qingyue Sword did not appear in his hand. The fox explained to him, "Before you marry the fox, you cannot use any spiritual power."
Pei Yunshu turned to look at him, "You too?"
The fox's head was about to fall off. "I can hardly maintain my human form."
This is really a dilemma. Pei Yunshu never knew that such a ridiculous thing would happen to him. He didn't know what the situation would be like ahead. If he was asked to really marry a fox, how could that be possible
No matter how long he lowered his eyes and thought, the fox stared at his long eyelashes like a feather fan. Finally, it was so fascinated that Pei Yunshu suddenly stood up and put his fingertips in his mouth.
Fox's handsome face instantly turned red. He clutched his belt tightly and stammered, "What are you doing?"
Pei Yunshu's eyes were filled with doubt. He stretched out his fingertips and moved his white fingers away from his lips. The fox stared at him blankly and turned to poke the paper window on the sedan chair. He heard him say, "I want to see if the person outside is a human or a fox."
The wet fingers easily drilled a small hole in the paper window. Huayue watched his actions from the side, covering her face, her cheeks burning and her eyes full of spring light.
Pei Yunshu bent down, moved closer to the small hole, and looked out with bated breath.
I saw two figures jumping and flashing outside the window vaguely. When I looked more closely, I realized that they were four foxes, two by two, with one fox standing on the shoulder of another fox. The foxes on top were holding gongs, drums and suonas, and the sound of music came from them.
Thick, dripping white fog filled the air, and although the place was bustling with activity, the scene was incredibly quiet.
When Pei Yunshu was about to tear the hole bigger, the fox closest to the window suddenly turned its head and looked at him.
The eyeballs are yellow, the pupils are dark and lifeless, and they are empty like dead skin bags.
Pei Yunshu's breathing stagnated, and the fox suddenly grinned and blew a loud suona sound.
All the music stopped, only the sound of the suona continued to play.
The foxes in front and behind opened their mouths at the same time, making human voices.
"The road ahead is cleared, the fox marries a wife, her eyebrows are like distant black, and the lotus is not as good as the beauty's makeup."
Pei Yunshu sat back with cold hands and feet. Hua Yue came closer and covered Pei Yunshu's ears with a handkerchief.
The handkerchief couldn't block out the sound, and Pei Yunshu looked up at him.
His lips were pale, his forehead was stained with sweat and his hair was wet. His eyes were full of autumn water and spring waves, yet also revealed a bit of pity. In such a strange and narrow sedan chair, Hua Yue felt that the red light reflected on Pei Yunshu also became lovable.
The fox shyly withdrew his hand, pulling the handkerchief in his hand. He looked handsome and affectionate, but acted like a little girl. "Beauty, are you okay?"
Pei Yunshu shook his head, "Nothing."
Hua Yue's face turned even redder, she was truly stunning, his fox eyes swept over Pei Yunshu, and suddenly he thought of something, leaning over to whisper in Pei Yunshu's ear: "Beauty, in our fox demon secret realm, you have to be careful of one thing."
Pei Yunshu, "Life?"
The fox smiled and moved away. The smile on his face became more meaningful. He opened his red lips slightly and said, "For us fox demons, life is worthless."
"The most valuable one is of course Yuan Yang!"
*
In the bridal sedan, Hua Yue told Pei Yunshu how important Yuan Yang was along the way.
"Our demon's yang energy is also very beneficial to cultivators," Hua Yue looked around and said as if telling a little secret, "My beauty, if Lord Jiaolong's yang energy is given to you, you can directly skip the golden elixir and form a Nascent Soul. If Lord Jiaolong completely turns into a dragon, at that time, his yang energy will be a treasure more precious than all the natural treasures in the world. If you, my beauty..."
Pei Yunshu's ears turned red, "Stop talking!"
Hearing this low scolding, Hua Yue twirled her hair with her fingers, her eyes moving around smartly. If Lord Jiaolong was willing to give Yuan Yang to the beauty, he would also be willing to do so, and he could be a mistress and not compete with Lord Jiaolong for it.
Pei Yunshu didn't know what he was thinking, but this nonsense made him less worried than before. He didn't know how far the sedan chair had gone, and finally, with a series of drum sounds, everything stopped.
The fox shadows on both sides disappeared, and someone approached the sedan chair step by step.
With no spiritual power in his body and no weapon in his hands, Pei Yunshu placed his hands on his belt.
His outer coat was still the same snakeskin gauze. The skin shed by Zhu You was invulnerable to swords and guns. If he had no way to retreat, he planned to take off the outer coat to give himself and Hua Yue a chance of survival.
The curtain was opened by a sword, and the sunlight suddenly appeared. A face as gentle as jade appeared outside the sedan chair. The side of Yun Cheng's face was stained with blood, but he seemed unaware of it. He smiled as if bathed in the spring breeze and stretched out his hand to Pei Yunshu in the sedan chair.
"Junior brother," his dark eyes were warm in the sunlight, "Come here, senior brother."
The sword that lifted the scarlet curtain had blood dripping from its tip.
