The moonlight was bright. The fox was particularly happy after hearing the words "flowers and moon" and pounced towards Pei Yunshu.
Pei Yunshu picked him up. It was so comfortable to hold this little fluffy ball in his arms. He suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a warm sensation on the side of his face.
He lowered his head in surprise and saw the fox shyly buried in his arms. After kissing him, the yellow-haired fox was so embarrassed that it turned into a red-haired fox.
Pei Yunshu felt that he was acting like a child, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked up at the sky, and it was already late, so he carried Huayue into the room and found a small bed for him, "Huayue, go to sleep first."
He turned around and was about to leave, but Hua Yue grabbed his clothes, with anxiety in her eyes, as if she wanted to know where Pei Yunshu was going.
Pei Yunshu was stunned, gently brushed his ears, put down Huayue's claws, and still flew out with the Qingyue Sword in his hand.
Bai Ri and his second senior brother went to the mortal world and bought some things. Regardless of whether the master was happy or not, Pei Yunshu always wanted to give it a try.
Even though it was late, he didn't want to waste time.

When Pei Yunshu reached the top of the mountain, Venerable Wuwang was still meditating. The quiet room was covered with layers of white frost, as if it were an extremely icy place.
The master was wearing very little, and there was frost on his eyelashes. His breath was faint, as if he was no longer breathing.
He was good-looking, but his sword was too cold. Pei Yunshu tilted his head and looked at him for a while, his black hair falling from his shoulders. After an unknown amount of time, he could no longer stand the coldness in the room and shouted, "Grandmaster."
The master opened his eyes, but nothing was reflected in them. When he raised his eyes and saw Pei Yunshu, there was a flicker in his eyes. The coldness in the room disappeared in an instant, as if spring had returned to the earth.
He stood up and walked towards Pei Yunshu. Pei Yunshu stepped back, and the two of them walked out of the quiet room and came to the outer room.
It was getting darker at night at Santian Peak and the dew was heavier. There was still some moisture on Pei Yunshu's hair. The master looked at the dew on his hair and suddenly raised his hand to touch him.
Pei Yunshu's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Master?"
The sea of consciousness was churning, as if thousands of fine needles were piercing his flesh. Venerable Wuwang concealed the fishy smell rising from his throat, but his hand steadily wiped the dew off his hair and responded with a low sound.
Pei Yunshu turned his head away, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, a faint smile, and looked up at Venerable Wuwang, "Grandmaster, I found something for you from the mortal world."
The master's voice was cold, and he stood in front of Pei Yunshu without taking a single step back. "What is it?"
The embarrassment of that day seemed to have completely disappeared from him. His face was very pale, but his expression was as cold as ice and snow. Pei Yunshu could have forced him to collapse yesterday, but today, he seemed to have built up a solid barrier and was already indestructible.
Pei Yunshu lowered his eyes and took out an exquisite wooden box from his sleeve.
There was a picture of a lady fanning herself on the wooden box. The lady had a graceful figure. The master just glanced at her and then stopped where he was.
Pei Yunshu opened the box and saw the rouge inside was as red as a flower, like freshly condensed flower juice, and with a faint fragrance.
The master's feather-like eyelashes trembled and he asked, "What is this?"
"This is rouge." Pei Yunshu gently rubbed the rouge with his fingertips, pulling out a red thread on the back of his hand. He looked at the red thread and said, "Master, do you like it?"
The question was asked softly, but it sounded like thunder in the ears of Venerable Wuwang.
He clenched his hands so tightly that his nails hurt the flesh on his palms. Only then could he say with a calm expression, "It's okay."
His eyes were cast on the back of Pei Yunshu's hand. Pei Yunshu's hand was white and clean, but the hint of red pierced deeply into other people's eyes.
Venerable Wuwang took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, took Pei Yunshu's hand, and wiped off the rouge for him.
He naturally knew what this was.
When he was still Yun Wang, he fell in love with this rouge at first sight at the foot of the mountain. It was because he thought at that time that Senior Brother Yun Shu's lips were always pale, and if they were stained with red, it would be particularly charming.
But Pei Yunshu didn't like it.
Venerable Wuwang's memory is really good. Even now, he can still remember how many rouges were on the stall that day. The rouge he gave to Pei Yunshu that day was engraved with mountains and flowing water, but what he liked was not the rouge engraved with mountains and flowing water, but another box of extremely outrageous...
The master's face turned slightly red, and he suddenly let go of Pei Yunshu's hand as if it was burned, and took several steps back.
Pei Yunshu put the box of rouge aside and put his hands behind his back. He looked straight at Master Wuwang, pursed his lips and said, "Grandmaster, if you like it, does what you said to your disciple that day still count?"
Venerable Wuwang's ears were flushed, but upon hearing this, his expression instantly turned cold. He closed his eyes and gave the Demon-Suppressing Tower to Pei Yunshu.
*
After Pei Yunshu left, Venerable Wuwang stood alone in the room for a while. Suddenly, a white jade pendant appeared in his hand. The jade pendant was warm to the touch, but when his cold fingertips touched it, he felt a slight tingling sensation.
Venerable Wuwang lowered his eyes and held the jade pendant tightly.
If the mind is not moved, demonic obstacles will not arise.
He recited the Heart Clearing Mantra several times, but his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the rouge on the table. His heart skipped a beat, and Pei Yunshu's face flashed through his mind.
*
Pei Yunshu held the Demon-Suppressing Tower and was carried down the mountain by the Qingyue Sword.
When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he jumped off his sword and went into the study alone.
The lights came on, and the black and gold Demon-Suppressing Tower was placed on the table. Pei Yunshu looked at the tower carefully, not missing any part. He tried to push the black door of the tower, but it didn't move at all.
This tower didn't look good at all. Pei Yunshu lay on the table, staring at the door, and whispered, "Is anyone there?"
There was no movement in the tower, but Pei Yunshu was not discouraged. He moved closer, with his sleeves draped over the sides of the table, "Is anyone here?"
Before he finished speaking, the spire trembled slightly.
It felt like something was rushing out from inside.
Pei Yunshu could see clearly that there were all kinds of monsters in the tower, and there might be quite a few evil and vicious monsters. Who knew whether it would be good or bad if it hit them? But he was not afraid. Not only was he not afraid, but he also felt a sense of joy.
He remembered what his master had said that day at the pond, so he stood up and moved closer to the top of the tower, as if asking a question, but his tone was as soft as if he was talking in a dream after being drunk.
"Dragon?"
The tower was quiet for a moment, and then it began to shake violently. Pei Yunshu was startled by a faint "click" sound. He followed the sound and searched around for a while before he finally found a tiny, barely visible crack on the top of the tower.
The crack was so small that it was invisible to the naked eye. Pei Yunshu placed his hand on the crack, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, and finally, for some unknown reason, he just laughed.
*
Early the next morning, Pei Yunshu put the Demon-Suppressing Tower into his storage bag and rushed to the library.
He stayed in the library for a day and learned that the tower was built by his master himself. Apart from him, no one knew how to capture and release monsters.
The detailed explanations of the magic weapons in the miscellaneous book section had been thoroughly read. Pei Yunshu sat among the pile of books. For a moment, a great sense of grievance surged up from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes turned red in an instant. He hid behind the book, gritted his teeth and forced back the tears in his eyes.
Under the excitement, the white inner elixir in his body suddenly moved.
Pei Yunshu raised his head from his knees, wiped the corner of his eyes to hide his sudden collapse, his face became colder, and he walked out of the library.
A box of rouge was exchanged for the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
What else can I give in exchange for the method to release the monster
He returned to Santian Peak and walked towards the study. As soon as he entered, he saw Huayue lying on the table. When she saw it was him, her two tails wagged happily.
But after seeing Pei Yunshu's eyes, he called out twice in worry and anxiety.
Hua Yue must have been seriously injured. He couldn't even transform into a human form now, and his mental strength was always insufficient. Pei Yunshu gave him some elixir today, and now it seems that he is a little better than before.
Pei Yunshu said softly: "I'm fine."
He placed the Demon-Suppressing Tower on the table and looked at the top of the tower. He saw that the crack was still the same as it was last night. He reached out his hand and brushed across the crack, feeling helpless and powerless again.
If he were stronger, if he were stronger...
Pei Yunshu suddenly started coughing while leaning against the tower. When he stopped coughing, his hair was already disheveled. Hua Yue was holding the corner of his clothes and looking at him worriedly with her amber eyes. Pei Yunshu bent over and stood up after a long while.
He gripped the spire tightly, his fingers turning slightly white from the force.
But suddenly, the white inner elixir covered with a layer of golden light began to beat impatiently, and Pei Yunshu only felt a wisp of milky white spiritual energy overflowing from the palm of his hand. The next moment after the white spiritual energy overflowed, he smelled a faint demonic aura.
Pei Yunshu showed surprise on his face, and the next moment, he slipped through the gap at the top of the tower and disappeared into the study.
Huayue was startled and immediately started howling loudly.
*
Venerable Wuwang, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were as deep as an ancient pond, were now filled with huge waves. The next moment, he had already fallen from the top of the mountain to the halfway point.
There was only a fox in the study room, which kept hitting the Demon-Suppressing Tower with its claws. Venerable Wuwang's face changed, but without even thinking, he turned into a wisp of flying smoke and flew into the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
Hua Yue watched helplessly as a man disappeared in the tower. His hair stood on end, his fangs bared, and he pointed them at the Demon-Suppressing Tower. He roared a few times, but could only wander around anxiously outside.
*
The Demon-Suppressing Tower is used to suppress demons, so humans naturally cannot enter.
Venerable Wuwang did not expect that Pei Yunshu actually entered the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
The Demon-Suppressing Pagoda has nine floors, and the first floor is the illusion of the inner demon. He rushed into the first floor in a hurry, but after entering, there was no trace of Pei Yunshu inside.
Venerable Wuwang took a few steps, and the scene before his eyes changed. There was the sound of gurgling water, and hot steam slowly rose. The water vapor came and condensed on his hair.
Over the past hundreds of years, Venerable Wuwang had entered the Demon-Suppressing Tower countless times, but this was the first time that an illusion appeared.
His long feather-fan eyelashes trembled, and he raised his eyes and looked towards the sound of water.
A figure was in the mist. He was wearing gauze and washing his long hair like a waterfall in hot water. His black hair was washed smoothly by the water, and hot steam was rising. It seemed that the fragrance of soapberries was coming from that direction.
The man seemed to have noticed Venerable Wuwang, so he turned around and looked at him with a smile, his voice was full of laughter, his eyebrows were like ink, and his lips seemed to be painted with rouge: "Master."
This is an illusion, this is a demon in the heart.
Venerable Wuwang could not move his feet. He closed his eyes and chanted the Heart Purification Mantra over and over again.
The figure slowly walked towards Venerable Wuwang, and Wuwang made up his mind that if the illusion went one step further, he would kill him.
But the figure stopped.
The heat suddenly dissipated, and the scent at the tip of my nose changed, a fragrance mixed with the scent of sandalwood coming from my side.
Wu Wang opened his eyes and saw him sitting at the stone table in Pei Yunshu's yard. There was a faint sound of wind and green leaves floating. He turned his head and saw Ling Qing's third disciple Yun Man frivolously pulling off Pei Yunshu's belt and throwing his white Taoist robe on Yun Wang.
The fragrance came over him, and Wu Wang's breathing stagnated. He held his breath and put away his Taoist robe. Just as he was about to stand up and break the illusion, Pei Yunshu, who was only wearing his inner clothes, called him, "Junior Brother."
Venerable Wuwang couldn't help but turn his head back.
Pei Yunshu's eyes were red from being bullied. He looked at Wuwang, as if hiding endless grievances and expectations, "Junior brother."
Venerable Wuwang was speechless. He was silent for a long time, clenched his robe in his hands, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Fourth Senior Brother."
*
Pei Yunshu was sucked into the tower by the crack. He fell heavily downward and wanted to fly with his sword, but found that even with plenty of spiritual energy in his body, he was unable to fly.
The feeling of falling from a great height is terrifying. Could it be that this Demon-Suppressing Tower can only allow demons to fly
Pei Yunshu took out a talisman, but before he could use it, something flew towards him and instantly hugged him tightly.
Pei Yunshu felt his legs tighten and was startled. He looked down and saw that a snake's tail was wrapped around his legs!
The scales were pitch black and very hard. Before Pei Yunshu could look again, a hand lifted his chin. A handsome face appeared in his eyes. The face kept getting bigger and bigger. The next moment, a pair of cold lips pressed against his lips.
Where did this… Where did this scoundrel come from!
