My enemies became my companions

Chapter 440 I am not me (two in one)

The Taoist didn't know whether he was sad or happy, he just kept shaking his head with a smile on his face.

I originally thought that my cultivation was not good enough and it would be difficult for me to ascend to heaven. I would have to wait until the next life to become an immortal. However, when I saw the fallen feathers all over the ground, I realized that I had already ascended to heaven.

After ascending to heaven, one will live as long as the heaven and earth, and enjoy the wonderful scene of eternal life that cannot be described by mortals.

But what does this "self" have to do with the present self?
Sadness or joy?
Sigh...

After the Taoist in gray finished laughing, he sighed a few times, turned around and said to the three people:
"It turns out that I am also one of the demons. Sorry to bother you guys."

Lu Ying came back to his senses, looked at the fallen feather on the cushion, then looked at the Taoist in gray, and his heart was slightly moved.

She always felt as if her spiritual heart was tapped by something, but she couldn't describe the feeling.

What are people seeking when they seek immortality? Is it just for immortality?
If it was just for immortality, this Taoist should be overjoyed, but the reality is that he is both sad and happy.

Lu Ying couldn't understand it. This scene left a trace in her heart, like yeast, slowly brewing underneath.

Min Ning and Yin Weiying also felt the same, but not as much as Lu Ying. Min Ning did not seek immortality, and at this moment he was more sighing. Yin Weiying's determination to be a Taoist has always been indomitable, and now he just thought that if it were him, he would never be in this situation.

They are not confused.

Min Ning said: "Then this ghost fog..."

The Taoist in gray looked around the place where he sat and died, and said softly:

“I think some of you have heard of the method of becoming an immortal by beheading the three corpses. There are three corpses in the human body, which should disappear from the world after being beheaded. However, the sword spirit in the sword washing pool is rampant and more spiritual. Under the nourishment of this sword spirit, these three corpses of mine have gained spiritual intelligence.

The Three Corpses are the place where demons breed. I think I have entrusted others to eliminate the demons, but I didn't know that I was the one who nourished the demons, so the demons were eliminated and reborn, and were eliminated again.

As for this ghost fog, I will just cut it off on my own and it will disappear between heaven and earth."

Min Ning nodded, which saved her the trouble.

If this Taoist priest in gray is unwilling to end his life on his own, then she will have to lend a hand.

The Taoist in gray looked around the cave where he sat and died. This was also his cave. There was nothing else in it, just a cushion, a straw raincoat, a few eight-diagram mirrors, and a hairless whisk.

The peach wood sword was moldy.

The Taoist in gray said, "My humble abode is humble and I have nothing to offer you, so I won't stay for long."

After saying this, he picked up the token beside the cushion and handed it over with his sleeve.

Min Ning took it in his hand and then clasped his fists.

"Everyone, please be careful as you are heading to the top of the mountain. There will probably be some demonic things along the way, and..."

The Taoist in gray paused and said:
"Most of them are transformed by Taoists. When Taoists become ghosts, they will inevitably hide daggers behind their smiles and hurt people with hidden arrows."

Min Ning responded and said:
"Thank you, Taoist priest."

The Taoist in gray put on a smile and said:

"You guys should go up the mountain first. Xiaodao wants to stay here for a while."

They were honest with each other, and Min Ning and others nodded and turned around.

Lu Ying felt uneasy for a long time. After walking about ten steps, he looked back and saw the Taoist holding his hands together as if praying.

She actually wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but she couldn't because he was gradually disappearing into the fog.

Lu Ying turned his head back and didn't look again.

The Taoist in gray watched the three people go away, then turned around and took another look at the cave where he had passed away.

He lowered his head and stared at the fallen feathers on the ground.

"We Taoists often hear the saying 'If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening'

But how can I calculate it?"

The Taoist in gray gently picked up a fallen feather.
He had forgotten the name of the person who ascended, but he remembered that he was the elder in charge of law at Chongyang Temple. After he had an epiphany, he secluded himself in the Sword Washing Pool for decades.

There are some vague memories, everything seems to be vivid in my mind,

But it was him, and yet it was not him.

If I hear the truth in the morning, can I die in the evening?
"There is no life, so how can there be death?"

The Taoist in gray bowed toward heaven and earth, picked up the peach wood sword, and wiped off the mildew on it.

Immediately the sword fell,

There is only one long sigh left between heaven and earth,
"Suddenly the autumn wind blows through the fog, the flowers come and go, but I am no longer myself."

…………

The mist dissipated.

The three of them climbed over the slope. Lu Ying's ten-direction shoes stepped on a clump of weeds on the road. Seeing that the fog in the forest was almost dissipated, his mood did not become more open, but became even more depressed.

Lu Ying didn't know what she was thinking. The seventeen-year-old girl had only recently discovered that there were many things about her that she couldn't understand.

Whether it was loneliness, immortality, or Chen Yi, whom Min Ning and Yin Weiying were fighting for, all the messy things were mixed together, kneaded and twisted into a ball, so sticky that it couldn't be stickier.

Lu Ying wanted to figure it out, but the more she thought, the more confused her mind became. At this moment, she remembered the junior sister who was almost the same age as her, only one or two years younger than her. Although they had not been together for a long time, she always saw Yin Tingxue as carefree as ever, walking around Yinjian Mountain with a yellow dog.

It's different from the last time we met.

I still remember meeting her at that time. The sky was dyed with a deep autumn glow, and there was a hint of sadness in Yin Tingxue's brows.

The worried Lu Ying couldn't help but think, why were the two of them so different when they met in the capital and when they met again in Yinjian Mountain?

It’s probably because Chen Yi is not here.

Actually, when I think about it, Min Ning and Yin Weiying were fighting over that person, and I have been troubled since I met him...

Since we can blame him, then we should blame him.

It’s all Chen Zunming’s fault.

The three women walked on the road for quite some time. The fog had cleared, but the sky was still gloomy. A bolt of lightning struck the top of the mountain, illuminating the surrounding scenery white.

Along the way, Yin Weiying glanced at Min Ning from time to time.

In the past, she treated the fairy Lu Ying as a formidable enemy, simply because she was afraid that Chen Yi would be fooled by others. As for Min Ning and others, she rarely took them seriously. After all, they would not be a threat after she became a fairy.

But no one expected that Min Ning's martial arts level would advance so fast!

It would be fine if she was rising fast, but Min Ning was still thinking about marrying Chen Yi. May you be blessed with infinite happiness. A woman marrying a man, what kind of talk is this?

Doesn't this mean that she is trying to steal the marriage and make Chen Yi marry into the Min family?

If it really comes to this, it would be better for Chen Yi to follow another fairy...

The group walked for most of the day, from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. The sword pond was getting closer and closer, but as the night fell, they had to stop and rest. A bonfire was lit between the three of them.

The flames were flickering, and the dense forest was no longer as eerie as it was last night, which was surprising. Min Ning leaned against the rock and tore out a few pieces of dried meat.

"Come on?" Min Ning handed it to Lu Ying.

Lu Ying hesitated for a moment, not wanting to disappoint the other person, so he took it.

Min Ning turned to Yin Weiying and asked impatiently, "Do you want it?"

Having said that, the jerky was only half an arm's length away.

Yin Weiying replied: "I have already been fasting."

Min Ning took the dried meat back and ate it with the wine.

Taoists can practice fasting, but warriors cannot, because fasting is a great tonic for the body. However, warriors can strengthen their muscles and bones to fully digest the food, reaching a state where the body does not sweat and comes out without dirt. Therefore, no matter whether a warrior or a Taoist travels around the world, as long as they have achieved some success, they do not need to excrete.

The three of them sat around the campfire. Even if their relationship was bad, they couldn't stand the loneliness. Besides, their relationship wasn't so bad that they were enemies. Min Ning asked Lu Ying, who he had a good relationship with, about Chen Yi.

Yin Weiying felt happy and at ease.

"He once told me a story about The Return of the Condor Heroes. It was so fascinating. He said he read it from a martial arts novel, but I think... he probably made it up himself." Lu Ying mentioned what happened at that time inadvertently.

Min Ning was very curious and asked, "Then tell me about it?"

After hesitating, Lu Ying began to talk without any guard. He talked about Xiaolongnu, Yang Guo, and Yin Zhiping... Min Ning listened with fascination. He just ignored the love stories but was amazed by the Dugu Nine Swords and the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation.

However, what impressed Lu Ying the most were the love stories between young men and women, so he talked about them more.

Yin Weiying, who was idle at the side, didn't take it seriously at first and just listened casually.
As I listened...I started to feel a little uneasy.

When Chen Yi came here, he used the alias Young Master Long. Isn’t that Xiaolongnu?
Isn't the Taoist Yin Zhiping in that story talking about me? !

Yin Weiying was a little angry.

Yin Zhiping was talking about his own words, so weren't he and Chen Yi just passing by?
This shouldn’t be the case. He likes me so much… Yin Weiying calmed down and thought about it, feeling strange.

Could it be that…

Was it Lu Ying who changed the plot?
When Yin Weiying thought of Lu Ying's unconcealed excitement these days, he secretly cursed this woman for being so cunning.

What should he do then? If he told her to give up the idea directly, she might become angry and do something daring in the face of dangers in this secret place. If he tried to beat around the bush, Min Ning might see through him and mock him.

Yin Weiying thought about it for a long time, then his eyes lit up slightly, and a small plan emerged in his mind.

The night is particularly dark tonight.

Lu Ying talked until his mouth was dry and he finally finished talking about what Chen Yi had said and felt sleepy.

"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch." Min Ning said.

Lu Ying nodded and leaned over to squeeze into the tent.

After she left, Min Ning noticed that he was being looked at frequently, and he knew who it was without even turning around.

She secretly laughed and whispered, "Yin Weiying, why are you always looking at me?"

The nun missed his gaze and said calmly, "The Buddha saw eighty-four thousand insects in a bowl of water."

Min Ning sneered, "I thought you wanted to argue with me for him. Why are you so narrow-minded?"

Yin Weiying did not answer for a moment.

Min Ning said slowly: "I am different from you. When you see his talent, you are eager to become an immortal with him. As for me, it doesn't matter whether he is there or not in the martial arts. It is just icing on the cake."

Yin Weiying responded, "So am I?"

Min Ning nodded and said, "I believe you. After I marry him, you don't have to follow me in."

?

Yin Weiying stood still for a moment, gnashing his teeth and staring fiercely at Min Ning, but then he felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so he moved his eyes away and snorted.
“Not everything in the world goes as one wishes.”

We can’t quarrel… After he finished speaking, Yin Weiying gathered his thoughts and focused on business matters.

She cast a fortune and found out that Lu Ying had fallen asleep, so she slowly asked, "What do you think of that story?"

Min Ning was puzzled for a moment, then continued: "Ups and downs, not bad."

Yin Weiying asked, "Have you ever thought that this story has a hidden allusion?"

“…What do you mean?” It is not surprising that stories contain innuendos. Literati love to play this trick the most. Min Ning frowned slightly.

Yin Weiying pointed out: "He once used the pseudonym Long Gongzi."

Min Ning pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I am Yang Guo?"

Yin Weiying was silent for a while.

After a while, she reminded: "Yang Guo later became one-armed."

At this point, how could Min Ning not understand that Zhou Yitang was one-armed?

"You mean..." Min Ning pointed at himself and said, "They are a couple of chivalrous men, and I am... a eagle?"

The night breeze blew.

Yin Weiying suppressed the smile on his face.

Min Ning frowned, thinking about how Lu Ying always called the Divine Condor "Brother Condor" or "Brother Condor", and wasn't she his female brother?

Yin Weiying said slowly, "However, what she said is slightly different from what I heard."

Min Ning asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"She is that woman's apprentice after all."

Yin Weiying stopped at that point, and had no choice but to stop at that point.

If you say more, it will be a lie.

Min Ning frowned even more tightly. Yin Weiying saw it and realized that he had succeeded. The next step was to make another call to Lu Ying, let the two of them fight, and keep the upper hand.

Thinking of this, Yin Weiying rubbed his eyes.
Why am I feeling sleepy too?

The sky was so dark that it made people dizzy. Yin Weiying's eyelids drooped.
"I'll sleep for a while, you keep watch all night."

Yin Weiying immediately stood up and squeezed into the tent. He saw Lu Ying's sleeping face, breathing very steadily.

You slept so soundly. I wonder what your relationship with Min Ning will be after you wake up, Yin Weiying thought secretly. Then thoughts came to his mind. He suddenly thought of how weak he was. He had to scheme like this to keep his position as the eldest lady.

Yin Weiying's eyelids drooped slightly.
It would be great if I could reach the Nascent Soul stage...

At that time in the underworld, under the reversal of chaos, he reached the Nascent Soul stage, and with one sword, tens of thousands of demons and ghosts were annihilated in an instant. It was so glorious that there was no need for such hidden clues and foreshadowings.

If these little sluts are asked to kneel, they dare not stand up, and if they are asked to stand up, they dare not kneel.

Yin Weiying finally shook his head and threw these fantasies out of his mind.

…………

The wind in the mountains was cold and chilly, swirling through the trees and bringing chill to wherever it passed.

But in the shade of the dense forest, there was a huge crack in the mountain, which was particularly abrupt, with high rock walls on both sides, and a sense of horror pressed over me.

The chaotic and violent sword intent remained in this valley, and densely packed caves were carved out on the rock wall. No one remembered whether the sword that split the mountain was wielded by the Loulan Sword Emperor or by Wu Buyu.

A voice was heard faintly: "After hundreds of years, someone actually came up the mountain..."

"There are only two juniors in the Jindan stage and a warrior, and Chongyang Temple has fallen to this point... What a pity, what a pity." Another voice responded.

"Who told us that we couldn't catch the tail of the ascension? We can only stay here and watch the sun set in the Chongyang Temple."

The rustling voices echoed in the forest, but the branches and leaves did not move, and there was no trace of the people who were speaking.

The sounds were all mixed together, making the wind even colder.

At this time, a voice that seemed to be the leader said:
“No matter who they are, they cannot be put on the mountain. Don’t underestimate them. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit.”

There was a moment of silence, as the ghosts each had their own thoughts.

I only heard the man who was the founder in his lifetime say coldly:
"Don't blame me for putting on airs. If I wake that person up and cause the sword will to go berserk, causing the sword pool to collapse, who will be responsible for opening the Heavenly Gate privately?"

Everyone was still silent, but this time it was a deep silence.

After a while, someone asked:
"Then Master Tang, are you going to follow the old rules this time and kill these people in your dream?"

"It has been hundreds of years, there is no need to change." Chongyang Temple's ancestor paused and said, "Let them see the underworld, their defenses will be lost, and they will die in their dreams."
