My enemies became my companions

Chapter 169: Teng Snake
Chen Yi looked at Yin Weiying, whose legs were weak, and held the tip of the peach wood sword with both hands.

If Yin Tingxue had not heard that the situation in the Sutra Repository was not optimistic, he would not have come in. However, he did not expect that not long after he came in, he would run into this female priest stabbing at him with a sword.

There was a hint of hostility in Chen Yi's eyes. He stared at the nun. His five fingers moved up along the sword and grabbed the white jade wrist, which began to tremble even more violently.

She also wants to kill herself?

"Yin Wei Ying."

His voice was indifferent.

As soon as she heard the words, a familiar shudder spread through her heart. She staggered and fell to the ground.

This feeling cannot be wrong, it really is him!
Finished….
She felt the fear in her heart grow stronger, her legs began to tremble out of habit, her teeth chattered, and she raised her face:

"me…"

Ignorance is constantly expanding at this moment, almost occupying the entire lake of the heart, and it has lost its original shape.

Chen Yi twisted the peach wood sword and looked her up and down.
"That sword has murderous intent. Do you want to kill me?"

When the daughter of King Jing heard this, she was horrified as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

The man looked down at her from above, his shadow covering her entire body. She fell into great panic, opening her mouth but unable to say anything.

At this moment, the girl next to her moved.

Yin Tingxue said, "Sister Weiying didn't mean it."

As a person with clairvoyance, she could vaguely hear Yin Weiying's thoughts.

These words solved most of the siege. Chen Yi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. He had already felt something was wrong. Yin Weiying had suffered before, and his sudden outburst at that time must be something strange.

He retracted his gaze, and the nun finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yin Tingxue with gratitude.

Yin Weiying didn't dare to think about what would have happened to him if the daughter of King Xiang hadn't spoken.

After all, that sword was indeed filled with murderous intent.

All along, Chen Yi's ignorance has been torturing her heart. No matter how dissatisfied she is, she can only hope to achieve success in cultivation and get rid of it as soon as possible.

As long as she cultivates to the Golden Core Realm and condenses the luck of heaven and earth, then no matter how powerful Chen Yi, a mortal, is, he will not be able to control her.

And she will be like Gou Jian, who, after decades of hardship, will make Chen Yi fall to pieces one day, letting him understand what it means to be emaciated and stupid like a puppet...

The premise of all this is that Chen Yi has not obtained the method of Cai Bu.

Yin Weiying's mind was in turmoil. He stood up with the help of the bookshelf, straightened his robe, and said hoarsely:

"The evildoer in the Sutra Library was transformed by human ignorance and fear, and manipulated the paper figurine to look like you, so... I didn't have time to see and stabbed it with my sword."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Chen Yi nervously.

Chen Yi had just entered the Sutra Repository not long ago, and he had not encountered any paper figures like Yin Weiying had along the way, so he was somewhat skeptical at the moment.

"It's a reasonable explanation." Chen Yi said lightly.

Yin Weiying asked in surprise: "Didn't you encounter anything along the way?"

"No, nothing, it's just that the road is a bit roundabout."

The one who spoke was the daughter of King Xiang.

The nun seemed to be thoughtful after hearing this. She was traveling with the three women from Lu Ying and the Eastern Palace, and they were separated one after another along the way. It was most likely because of the paper figurine tricks of this monster. However, Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue were able to travel smoothly along the way. Could it be that the monster did this deliberately to welcome their arrival?
But...is that monster welcoming Chen Yi or Yin Tingxue?
"Where are Lu Ying and the others?"

At this time, Chen Yi asked.

The nun explained: "I don't know. I plan to break the formation here, and then I will be able to find them naturally."

Chen Yi asked: "Do you know the origin of the formation here?"

Yin Weiying didn't know how long he had stayed in the Sutra Library. He carefully observed and pondered along the way. With the appearance of the evildoer that seemed to be a "worm spirit", he roughly understood something and said:

"I can roughly guess that the formation in the Sutra Library uses this monster as the center of the formation. It is similar to the method of keeping a house-guarding monster to ward off evil spirits. However, some people use this method for evil purposes. It is not used to ward off evil spirits, but to suppress good. This is why there are Buddha statues with talismans on them on the road."

After hearing what Yin Weiying said, Chen Yi grasped the key point: "In other words, if we capture the thief first, we should capture the leader first. If we kill this monster, the formation will collapse on its own?"

After counting with her fingers, the nun nodded slightly.

"Let's go then."

Chen Yi didn't want to delay any longer. The longer he delayed, the more danger Lu Ying and the others would be in. The female priest had the same idea. When she saw Chen Yi and the others start to move, she followed closely behind them.

"Follow me."

As he said that, Chen Yi grabbed her hand.

Yin Weiying froze for a moment, then slowly relaxed. In this danger-ridden Sutra Repository, he unexpectedly felt a sense of security when he clenched his five fingers.

The warmth from that palm seemed to warm her heart. She suddenly noticed it and was startled.

"No holding hands..."

She dodged for a moment, lowered her head and whispered:

"I'll hold your skirt."

Chen Yi didn't care about the woman's weird thoughts and was too lazy to argue with her, so he just let go.

Yin Weiying hurriedly grabbed the hem of his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief. A trace of melancholy passed through her heart, but it disappeared in a flash and she didn't even notice it.

........................

The top floor of the Sutra Repository.

Lu Ying held a long sword in his hand to protect the unconscious Dong Gong Ruoshu behind him, and stared at the dark shadow in front of him, feeling confused and uncertain.

In the dim light, you can see dense snake scales and a huge snake tail swimming slowly.

"There are people from Yinjian Mountain trying to break the formation outside. If you ask them to stop, I will send you and your friend out."

In the darkness, the scarlet snake pupils slowly appeared, accompanied by a hissing sound, and as it raised its head, the wings at this inch were faintly visible.

The Teng Snake feeds on ignorance and fear, and is responsible for surprising and unsafe things.

"I never thought that the creature lurking here would be a rare beast that is rarely seen in the mountains."

Lu Ying did not agree to Tengshe's request, but gave an irrelevant answer.

It was just a plain sentence, but when it fell into the ears of the snake, the snake's pupils suddenly widened and it exhaled angrily.

"If it weren't for these treacherous villains using the fear of unborn babies as bait, how could I have fallen into this trap!"

The Teng Snake was furious, the building was shaking slightly, and Lu Ying's fingers were trembling slightly. She discovered something from it and asked:

"Using the fear of unborn babies as bait?"

The huge snake head turned sideways and looked directly at her. It seemed to calm down and laughed:
"I'll tell you what I mean. I've been trapped here for a hundred years. I feed on fear. If I don't have food, I'll die. Can you guess why there are so many fears even though there are men and women making love here?"

Lu Ying frowned and asked, "Why?"

"The Hehuan Sect holds a banquet for all the heroes in the world. There is no limit to the debauchery within the sect. No matter how well they use contraception, they are bound to have children. And if everyone has children, no matter how big the sect is, they will inevitably eat them all up."

The snake hissed and exhaled, as if making a sound from its lungs.
"So where did all these children go? The answer is obvious. They were not born yet. The Hehuan Sect used the secret method of the Light and Dark Sect to melt the souls of those babies. What a huge sin of killing! One day, all the babies here will gather in fear, and the Ghost King will be born.

So, the Hehuan Sect lured me here, trapped me here, and fed me the fear of those babies."

Lu Ying, who was known for her "heart of Taoism as sharp as a crane", was stunned. She had never imagined that the Hehuan Sect's actions were so inhumane and horrifying.

The Teng Snake just moved its head and laughed:
"Although I have been angry about being trapped for a hundred years, I have to admit that their fear is really delicious, and it is pure and innocent. A blessing in disguise. Now I will practice hard for another ten years, and I will eventually break out of the formation."

As it spoke, a fierce look flashed across its eyes.

“But if I let that woman set foot here, I will be trapped in the formation and will surely die.

I can let you and your friend out, but you must swear a great oath to let that woman go. Otherwise, before I die, I will take you two with me."

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Ying's forehead, his lips were tightly closed, and the sword in his hand was still upright.

The Teng Snake just laughed. It smelled the scent of fear and said with a sinister smile:
"Nun, do you know how deep the Yellow Spring is? I have practiced for hundreds of years, but I still don't know how deep the Yellow Spring is."

At this moment, there was a sound outside the door.

"Why don't you go down and take a look?"

Outside the wooden door on the top floor, a swordsman in a bamboo hat stepped out slowly and spoke calmly.
