My enemies became my companions

Chapter 448 My Heart Is Still There (Two in One)

It's getting worse and worse, and I'm getting more and more anxious.

Birds were startled and flew out of the forest. Min Ning suddenly turned sideways, and a fallen leaf floated across her cheek. She dodged the leaf as if she was dodging the tip of a sword. Then she drew her sword again, the tip of the sword pointing straight at her, as if it would pierce through her broken flesh.

How many moves has she fought with the illusion of "Chen Yi" in her eyes?
One sword, two swords, three swords,
Min Ning took a few steps, first left and then right, dangerously circumventing a half arc, and slashed across.
Hundreds and hundreds of swords!
She clearly felt that as time went by, "Chen Yi" was becoming slower, more sluggish, and muddier.

As if he was about to win, Min Ning was calm, his steps did not stop, his sword moved with him, the fight was intense, the force of his sword continued to grow.

As that "Chen Yi" revealed a flaw.

Min Ning swung the sword and shouted loudly. The sword flashed with a gorgeous cold light and pierced straight through Chen Yi's chest.

Wait until she lowered her eyes, and then raised them.

A towering tree stood before him, and it fell to the ground due to the sword.

Min Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead out of habit and said to himself:

"The real him will be even stronger."

Min Ning knew that he was not an inflexible person, and when it came to a life-and-death fight, he would definitely use all sorts of tricks.

She stroked the broken mark on the tree and laughed:
"I will never be like a pig and get hit by this sword..."

Just as I was thinking about it, a pig's head suddenly appeared from the other side of the hillside.

Chen Yi was seen wearing a big pig face mask, using his ultimate cloud-stepping skill to fly in front of Min Ning.

Min Ning was stunned for a moment and said:

"What a pig."

"what?"

When Chen Yi heard the nun say that Min Ning was crazy, he was afraid that she would become possessed. The time Qin Qingluo became possessed by a demon, her meridians were damaged. It was only because the princess had the Glazed Light to protect her body that she was not affected much. But Min Ning was different.

Min Ning looked at Chen Yi's mask and laughed, "Isn't it just a pig?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment before he realized that the mask was still on his face, so he took it off with force.

Min Ning sheathed his sword and asked casually, "Did you wear it specially for me?"

Chen Yi blinked and said, "I guess so."

You can't say you forgot to take it off.

Chen Yi looked at the broken tree, then at Min Ning, and found that she was not possessed at all.

"So... you were just practicing swordplay?"

"Practicing sword? I guess so." Min Ning lowered his voice.

Chen Yi said: "Then you should come to me for training. I have already learned the Qing Xiao sword technique to perfection."

Min Ning did not reply.

Chen Yi looked at the broken end and said to himself:
"I have met Wu Buyue. Believe me, I can break his sword."

Min Ning paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at him and said:

"You mean...you go first?"

Chen Yi smiled and said:

"What else? Am I going to watch you die in vain?"

Not to mention that after his death, it might trigger the time reversal of the Heavenly Dao. However, even if he didn't take these into account, Chen Yi would never want to see them die in front of him.

"Don't worry, I won't die."

Min Ning pondered in silence.

After a long while, she said, intentionally or unintentionally, "You are not as selfish as before."

She still remembered that he used to share the burden, but now he has to bear it.

Chen Yi nodded and asked, "Isn't it good?"

“…something is not good.”

Chen Yi was surprised for a moment, thinking that Min Ning would be very happy after knowing this, but when he turned around, he saw that her face was serious and she didn't seem to be joking.

"What's wrong with that? Don't I look like a hero?" Chen Yi said with a smile on his face.

Min Ning pondered for a moment, then continued:
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's drink."

After saying that, she took out the wine gourd from her arms and sat down on the spot.

Chen Yi didn't bother to argue with her and sat down immediately.

Two bowls of wine fell to the ground. Chen Yi picked up one of the bowls, took a sip of the wine, and said:

"I'll go first, and then you. My master once told me about Wu Buyu and her battle that year, so I have some experience."

"…How did she do that?"

The ground was filled with sword graves. Wu Buyue had met many great sword masters, but only Zhou Yitang survived. Min Ning couldn't help but be curious.

Chen Yi briefly recalled.

In his previous life, he had asked Zhou Yitang many, many questions, some of which she was willing to answer but some of which she was unwilling to answer. No matter how he tried to deceive her, it was useless. But after their relationship had improved, she was willing to talk a lot more.

"She lost one arm, but fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, so she killed three corpses and entered a new realm."

Chen Yi looked into the distance and recalled:
"The sword path is like a high mountain, extremely dangerous and steep. There are many ways to climb the mountain, but the higher you go, the narrower and steeper it becomes, only enough for one person to pass through. Because of this, she looked back and saw many people standing at the foot of the mountain, admiring them. They had swords in their hands, but they had no intention of climbing the mountain, but she did."

"High mountains..."

Min Ning felt something vaguely from the word "murmur", and his fingertips trembled slightly. The drunkard didn't even notice the wine spilling.

"She said...she climbed the mountain."

Min Ning couldn't help but ask: "What's on the mountain? Is it a sword?"

"There were no swords, no knives, almost nothing there, she said mysteriously,"

Chen Yi smiled, as if he found it funny, and said:
“…The sky, the endless sky, except for her and the sky, there was nothing else, and slowly, even she disappeared, leaving only the sky.

So at that moment,
She stood on the top of the mountain.”

Chen Yi recalled the situation when Zhou Yitang said this. The first thing he remembered was not Zhou Yitang's calmness, but her arms as smooth as snow, and the beautiful slightly raised curve. Well... these words were said afterwards.

She had said a lot of mysterious things, and he didn't remember much of them. But he felt very close to her that night, and the tenderness she unintentionally revealed was even more touching.

But afterwards, all that was left for Chen Yi was deep indifference. He was reincarnated into a vine that covered the mountains and forests, and was so entangled that it never completely dissolved until the next life.

"She said that her sword was too small and the world was too big."

Chen Yi came back to his senses and continued:

"She had no sword in her hand then."

"There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart?"

Min Ning came back to his senses and guessed aloud.

Zhuo Yu once said that sometimes he could achieve a state where there was no sword in his hand but there was a sword in his heart.

From this perspective, although what Zhou Yitang said was mysterious, it was by no means an unattainable state.

"Do not."

Chen Yi shook his head.

"There is no sword in the hand, and there is no sword in the heart."

Min Ning's pupils shrank slightly.

Her fingertips immediately began to tremble.

Her heart surged several times, and she suddenly wanted to draw her sword, as if if she drew her sword enough times, she would be able to reach this state. However, when she calmed down, she found that the more she drew her sword, the further away she was from this state.

Only when you see the sky, do you know you are standing on the top of the mountain.

"There is no form, no shape, and no self." Min Ning paused, "Really?" Chen Yi didn't know how to answer. He had never reached that state. Maybe when he killed Bhaisajyaguru Bodhisattva, he was very close to it, but after that, he became distant again.

Min Ning also knew that Chen Yi could not answer, so she let out a breath. After all, one had to learn the way of the sword by oneself. She took the bowl and took a sip of wine.

Only by reaching the state of mind like Zhou Yitang, where one forgets everything about himself and the world, can one survive. How unrealistic it is to want to break Wu Buyu's sword?
Min Ning didn't know, he just lowered his eyes and thought silently.

Suddenly, Chen Yi came up to her and saw him looking straight at her, chuckling:
“Even if Wu Buyue has great sword skills, I can break it.”

Min Ning glanced at him and knew that his words were just a consolation, as usual.

She was about to respond, but she felt that he was like a deep whirlpool...

The words got stuck in her throat, and finally, she shook her head.

Chen Yi paused and was stunned for a moment. He had said similar words many times, and Min Ning nodded every time.

Has she...changed?

Nearly a year has passed, she must have changed, Chen Yi was inexplicably speechless.

He could only lower his head and drink.

After a year of separation, Min Ning has made rapid progress, as if walking on flat ground. Leaving the capital, he is like a tiger out of a cage, and the world he sees is even wider and more vast. It will change, and it should change...

After a moment, Chen Yi smiled and said, "Martial arts can change a person's nature. A person who is naturally compassionate can become a murderer, and a person who is bloodthirsty can become a Buddha. In fact, martial arts are not unlike money, power, and love. Or, in other words, dead things can also be reincarnated. Money becomes light skills, power becomes hard skills, and love becomes swordsmanship, which changes a person's nature."

No matter how much Min Ning changes, he has to accept her.

After all, she was the one he loved.

Min Ning pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "But, the heart is there, how can it change?"

Chen Yi was confused at first, and then he stood still.

Thick black clouds pressed down on the sky, pressing the entire mountain down several inches. The shadows of the trees merged into one, surrounding Chen Yi. Even the thunder was swallowed up by the thick black clouds.

Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city.

"My heart is still here." Min Ning stared at him, "So, where have you been?"

.........

Lin Feng hurriedly passed by Juejian Cave. Lu Ying sat there hugging his legs, lowering his head, in a daze.

It was a dream. Although it was a little embarrassing to be caught by Chen Yi, fortunately the misunderstanding was resolved, Lu Ying thought so. She looked up and saw the sky was dark and covered with dark clouds, separating the sky and the earth. She stared at the lonely falling dead leaves, and couldn't help but think of the figure of Chen Yi who was about to jump off the cliff in the dream, and her own ruthless rejection.

Would he find a place to jump off a cliff?
Lu Ying shook his head, trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts, and walked to the edge of the cliff.

There were faint rumbling thunders and rolling black clouds, and the endless darkness was still endless. When she rejected Chen Yi, the latter turned and left, his face sinking into the darkness, as if he had fallen into an abyss, and was never seen again.

The scratches of swords and knives in the cave were still sharp, and the powerful sword intent rose with the wind. In an instant, wood and stones were flying, as if roaring, but... Lu Ying vaguely heard lonely sobs.

The swords seemed to surround her.

However, Lu Ying was still alone. She vaguely remembered her rejection of Chen Yi, as if she had suddenly pushed him off the cliff in her dream. Now that Chen Yi had left, she was also at the edge of the cliff, with no one standing by her side. A strong wind blew past, and only swords lingered around her, giving her no warmth, only cold and dead silence.

She suddenly sank into a deep and unspeakable silence.

Dark clouds loomed over the mountains.

She drew the sword unconsciously, her fingertips brushed across the sword edge, and the cold metal and stone revealed the silent loneliness of millions of years.

One person, one sword, and thousands of sword marks in the Juejian Cave. The female Taoist seemed to have melted into the loneliness.

Her heart was empty.
There is no form, no appearance, and no self.

.........

Slowly, Chen Yi came back to his senses and laughed:
"I thought you had changed, but now I think I was just being overly suspicious."

Min Ning smiled without caring and said casually:
"I have not changed. You are overthinking it. Chen Zunming, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that Hero Min will abandon me after having fun with me." Chen Yi said jokingly.

Min Ning moved forward a little:
"Even if you abandon me, I will never abandon you."

After saying that, she drank the wine in the bowl.

Chen Yi was slightly startled, his heartbeat quickened a bit, and then he smiled and said:
"Then...prove it?"

He missed the feeling of teasing Min Ning.

Min Ning glared at him fiercely with his slightly heroic eyes, his face slightly red due to being drunk.

She pressed Chen Yi's shoulder with one hand and raised her thin lips slightly, wanting to greet him, but as if she expected that he would take advantage of her, she took a breath and kissed him face to face.

His thin lips came down and he pried open the teeth.

The lips parted for a long time.

The two looked at each other. Min Ning stared at him straight, unwilling to move away and refusing to admit defeat. Chen Yi's breathing became slightly rapid. If he could, he would have wanted to make this female hero, who never accepted her fate, cry for mercy on the spot.

Min Ning noticed a slight bulge under the black robe and spat, saying:

"As for my lustfulness, it hasn't changed."

To this day, she still remembers how she felt that night.

Chen Yi naturally missed her as well. He still remembered Min Ning's heroic yet flushed face, which was like a ball of living fire fluttering between the bed curtains, which was a unique and wonderful feeling.

Min Ning raised the wine bowl in his hand and asked, "Would you like to drink?"

Chen Yi would not refuse, he naturally put his arm around her waist and said, "Drink."

In order to use the alcohol to moisten each other's dry throats, Chen Yi handed over his wine bowl. Min Ning understood and handed her wine bowl to her lips, just like a couple exchanging wedding wine at a wedding.

This scene seems to be frozen at this moment...

A cold voice, neither light nor heavy, suddenly fell.
"You two...are very affectionate?"

Chen Yi's hand paused for a moment, and the wine in the bowl shook slightly.

"A short separation is better than a new marriage..."

Min Ning turned his head, and after being surprised, he frowned slightly.

A woman in white floated over, her face turned green as she stared fiercely at the two people who seemed to be drinking the wedding wine.

She and he were already married...

But why is my heart so... so... bitter...

Chen Yi was a little stiff, not knowing what to do. Many words flashed through his mind, and he was conflicted for a moment.

However, Min Ning just raised his lips and smiled, then drank the wine in front of Yin Weiying, and then kissed him with the wine in his mouth.

Yin Weiying's pupils widened. She never thought that Min Ning would be so bold as to show off in front of her!
For the first time in a long time, she felt the shock and anger of having her Taoist partner taken away from her.

After their lips parted, Min Ning wiped the wine stains, half provocative and half proud.

"You, you...are shameless!"

Min Ning said slowly: "I was born in a peasant family, so I have no shame."

Yin Weiying was furious and stared at Chen Yi fiercely. His eyes were filled with indignation and aggrievedness, undoubtedly wanting him to treat him kindly.

She stammered, then spoke as calmly as possible: "...Come here."

Chen Yi felt some sweat on his back and was about to stand up to comfort her, but he saw Min Ning push the wine bowl in his hand forward and raise his eyebrows, as if asking: Won't you finish drinking with me?

call!
The cold wind was blowing, and the two sides were attacking him. Chen Yi broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He was so troubled that his brain was almost blank.

I have been enemies with them,
But these two women are actually enemies...

The Master of the Spring and Autumn Sword, the Goddess of Taihua...

There will be no way to live in the future.
