Yu Xuan's Eight Great Hells of the West

  Wei Fengniang brought Yue Qing to the main hall throne, cast a spell to move the throne, and opened a pit below. The two entered the pit, walked not far, and saw a stone gate of their sect. Wei Fengniang cast another spell to open the stone gate.

  Yue Qing saw that she had previously moved the throne using demonic magic, shooting out several red lights. The second time she opened the door of her master's room, she used Buddhist methods, the mantra of the Vajra division. He thought to himself that this woman was indeed meticulous in her thinking. In the world, there were many who practiced dual cultivation in both the demonic and Buddhist paths, but those who practiced both Buddhist and demonic dual cultivation were extremely rare.

  As soon as the stone gate was opened, a dazzling golden light burst forth, and inside was a cave. On the central stone altar, a jade box about 7-8 inches long, 7 feet wide, and an inch high was placed, emitting a brilliant glow that made it hard for people to open their eyes.

  Wei Fengniang took the jade box over, opened the lid, and inside appeared a heavenly book: "This book is only a secondary volume, recording various spells, below which there are two more layers. With my magical powers, I have no way of opening it, nor do I know what's hidden within."

  Yue Qing took the book and flipped through it, and indeed, it recorded many spells, most of which were from side doors. He put it on the table and picked up the jade box: "The middle layer inside contains a jade ruler left by Guang Chengzi, and the lower layer is the heavenly book." He asked Wei Fengniang, "I'll help you open it, how about we each take one layer of treasure?"

  Wei Fengniang was about to say: My own treasure is here, sooner or later I can open it, why do I need to share it with you? However, she slipped her tongue and looked at Yue Qing's handsome face and clear eyes, so she changed her words: "I have enough Taoist scriptures in my hands, the treasures left by Guang Chengzi are naturally good, I want the ruler."

  "Alright." Yue Qing put the box back on the table, sat down cross-legged beside it, and took out the Pure Yang Heaven's Order. A golden flame shot out, burning the jade box. "I need to use the Taiyi Pure Yang Immortal Fire to refine the box. It will take about seven days and nights. If you're impatient, you can go find your disciples to pass the time. Of course, that's assuming you don't suspect me of secretly keeping the treasure for myself."

  "I wouldn't doubt my brother, I just can't bear to leave!" Wei Fengniang sat cross-legged beside him, her slender hands supporting her cheeks as she watched Yue Qing practice his inner energy. She felt that every feature of his face, from the shape of his eyebrows to the curve of his nose, was so captivating that it moved her heart. The more she looked at him, the more she loved him, and she wished she could hold him in the palm of her hand. Her feelings were ten times stronger than they had been the day before! She also suspected that she had fallen under a spell, and silently focused her spirit to observe her primordial spirit, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

  Yue Qing worked hard here for seven days, and Wei Fengniang accompanied him here for seven days. They watched as the golden light on the surface of the jade box was burned by the immortal fire, becoming weaker and dimmer until it finally disappeared completely. The seal was broken, and Yue Qing opened the jade box. Inside were the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler and six elixir pills. In the lower layer, there was a heavenly book filled with talisman characters.

  Wei Fengniang saw that the jade ruler had a milky white color with a faint golden glow floating on its surface, knowing it was a treasure, she took it and waved it around twice, loving it so much. She also saw six dan medicines together with the jade ruler, thinking they were the elixirs left by Guang Chengzi, certainly not ordinary goods, her face filled with joy, holding both things in her hand, feeling that these two things were far better than what Yue Qing had obtained.

  Yue Qing took over the heavenly book and put it into the treasure bag: "Alright, things are settled here, I should also leave."

  Wei Fengniang's joyful expression vanished in an instant: "Brother, did you come to Qingluo Gorge this time just for the sake of this heavenly book?"

  Yu Qing nodded and said honestly: "Not bad."

  Wei Fengniang's eyes turned red, and she didn't know what was wrong with herself. She had always been the one who gave orders in front of men, and others had to follow her and coax her. However, in front of Yue Qing, she couldn't muster up any strength at all. Moreover, her little daughter's attitude was becoming more and more: "Brother rarely comes to my place, just stay for a few days, let sister show some hospitality, how about that?"

  Yue Qing thought for a moment: "It's okay, I can calm down and cultivate this heavenly book here."

  "Wei Fengniang said: "What was in brother's book that day? Let me take a look, okay?"

  "Give it to you, and you can't even understand it." Yue Qing took out the Heavenly Book and opened it for Wei Fengniang to see. The pages were filled with dense, tiny characters written in an ancient script, making one's eyes dizzy just looking at them.

  "Wei Fengniang said: 'Fortunately, I chose the treasure, if I had chosen the heavenly book, in the end, I would have to ask brother to come and translate it for me, but you got a good deal! Brother is really bad, always calculating his sister.'"

  Yue Qing smiled and said, "I didn't calculate against you, I let you choose yourself beforehand. And let me tell you one thing, your jade ruler is not ordinary either, it must have the nine-character true symbol left by Guang Chengzi back then, otherwise, it can only be used as a paperweight." Seeing Wei Fengniang's disbelieving expression, he said again, "I knew you wouldn't believe me. You're such a woman, so promiscuous and ruthless, this jade box has been in your hands for some time now, right? You've always been unable to open the last two layers, otherwise today's good fortune would not have fallen on my head. Think about it, if you can't even deal with the outer layer of the jade box, how can you handle the treasure inside?"

  Two people walked out of the underground palace. Wei Fengniang remained silent all the way, and after arranging a place for Yue Qing to stay outside, she left to try to cultivate the jade ruler.

  Yue Qingxin obtained the heavenly book, and his mood was also very good. He sat in the garden to flip through it, but this book was only the second volume of a complete set of heavenly books. He knew that the middle volume was in the hands of the two old men on Mount Song, the first volume was with the eccentric Ling Hun, and the supplementary volume was with Wei Fengniang. Only when combined would they form a complete set of heavenly books. Moreover, all three volumes were written in tadpole script, and only the first volume had annotations. If Yue Qing hadn't followed his master to study the Tongxuan True Classic and become familiar with the tadpole script, he wouldn't have been able to understand it now either, and holding it in his hand would be useless.

  This book was left by Guang Chengzi, the ancestor of Taoism 5,000 years ago. Although only one-third is preserved, the immortal methods recorded on it are extremely mysterious and abstruse. The Tongxuan Zhenjing cultivated by Yue Qing belongs to the Taiqing Laozi sect, while the Taoist method of Guang Chengzi belongs to the Yuqing Yuan Shi sect. However, Guang Chengzi was an ancient immortal, and later generations of Taoist figures, such as Luo Gongyuan, Lü Dongbin, Chen Xiyi, Wang Chongyang, Zhang Sanfeng, etc., were more or less influenced by Guang Chengzi. Therefore, studying it is also very beneficial.

  In Qingyun Gorge, it's always spring, flowers are in bloom all year round. At this time, it was mid-morning, the sunshine was excellent, shining on her body, making people feel a bit lazy. Yue Qing had been sitting under a cluster of peony flowers for several days, studying the heavenly book, and felt that she had gained a lot from it.

  At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud scolding from behind the fake mountain, getting closer and closer: "You shameless bastard! You only know how to use despicable tricks to seduce our master, causing our master to ignore us for many days. Do you know whose territory Qingluo Valley is? It's easy for me to kill you like crushing an ant!"

  Yu Qing heard that it was actually men competing with Wei Fengniang, attacking each other, and couldn't help but shake his head. Just as he wanted to change places to read a book, a figure suddenly flew out from behind the fake mountain and heavily collided with an ancient pine tree on the opposite side, unable to get up for a long time. Immediately after that, two men chased over from behind, one of whom was the one with the small braid seen at the valley entrance yesterday, and the other had a slender build, handsome face, and majestic aura, looking like a mighty general.

  Two men did not expect anyone to be here, and the general-like man shouted at Yue Qing: "Who are you? I've never seen you before?" The one with a small braid attached to his ear whispered a few words, and he loudly scolded, "Good! It's been you who has been seducing our master for several days, not showing your face for seven or eight days. Just by looking at you, I can tell you're a lowly person..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found himself unable to move, his hands and feet bound by an invisible restraint, as if being cast in steel no matter how hard he struggled.

  Zha Xiaojie's companion suddenly lost his voice, standing there motionless, still frowning and glaring, but unable to utter a sound. He was taken aback, and when he reached out to grab him, he was repelled by an invisible force just an inch away from the other person's clothes. He angrily shouted at Yue Qing: "What did you do to my brother?"

  "What he said is too harsh, let him calm down for a while, what are you all called?"

  "Listen up, your grandfather is the fourth demon lord of this place, Golden Blade Demon King Yin Hongying. And this is my fifth brother, Sky Splitting Mad Demon Gong Sun Wu. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and let your grandfather go, otherwise, even if it means getting scolded by our master, we'll take your heart and liver to drink with wine!"
