My enemies became my companions

Chapter 480 I am a Good Immortal (Two in One)

The county magistrate's head rolled on the ground, without any breath left. His body lay in front of the table, and it was obvious that he could not look back at the words "aboveboard" again.

Shao Bo's legs were shaking violently. After experiencing a series of drastic changes in one day, he could no longer bear the shock. His eyes turned black and he fell to the ground unconscious.

It was the second day of the new year, and the county government office was empty, without even a bailiff. Only in the county jail were there some people, but they were too far away to be heard.

Chen Yi counted with his fingers and found that not only the county magistrate, but also the county lieutenant and the chief clerk had died.

"What about...the account book?"

Although the person is dead, if the account books are still there, it is difficult to prevent the subsequent county magistrate from causing trouble.

Chen Yi immediately smelled some smoke, and when he looked again, he saw thick black smoke floating out of the desk room.

It looked like it was burned clean.

Looking up at the bloody words again, I realized that this hero had killed people cleanly and efficiently.

No need to do it yourself.

Chen Yi rolled up his sleeves, feeling happy to be free. Looking at the three words "He Taixiong", he recalled a little and thought of the man with a sword he had seen in the inn.

When he and Yin Tingxue went upstairs, the shopkeeper brought a jar of wine to reward the man... So that's how it is. A scene of memory flashed through his mind, and Chen Yi nodded slightly.

"I don't know how Min Ning will react if I tell her this?" Chen Yi muttered to himself.

I think she is also a person who leaves behind blood words and leaves in a graceful manner.

If it were me, I would definitely not leave a note. Chen Yi shook his head and laughed. Although he did not consider himself a good person, he was not that bad in his heart. Moreover, he had been influenced by Min Ning for a long time. At this moment, he could not help but applaud in his heart. Sometimes, people would admire those who were different from themselves.

A cold wind suddenly blew up.

"Bo'er...I died...so tragically!"

An old and intermittent voice sounded, faint and unclear.

Chen Yi silently chanted the spell, turned around and saw a miserable ghost figure crawling towards Shao Bo, with blood and tears in his eyes and his lips moving. It was the resentful spirit that was formed from the ghost energy floating out of the man's head on the ground.

Only those with strong obsessions will turn into ghosts after death and linger around.

A bright future was ruined by a man of unknown origin. Isn't that too tragic?

County Magistrate Wei leaned close to the unconscious Shao Bo's ear and said in a hoarse voice: "Revenge, revenge for uncle, the one who killed me, he fled to that direction, he fled to the south..."

The rest of the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and stopped abruptly.

"Tsk, you still want to cause trouble?"

I saw a pair of hands grabbing my throat out of thin air, and the resentful soul's limbs were dancing wildly, with ghostly aura floating around.

The Taoist priest rubbed it casually, and a ball of golden fire ignited from the hands and feet of the resentful soul. The latter opened his eyes wide and tried to struggle, but he couldn't even utter a word and was instantly annihilated in the flames.

Chen Yi clapped his hands and looked back at the bloody words.

The rough and vigorous brushstrokes are still there, and the dark red color contrasts particularly well with the upright plaque.

How could such a brave man be entangled by evil spirits?
As he stepped out of the county government office, he suddenly felt heroic and laughed silently.

If others are good men, I will be a good immortal!
…………

"I am the loyal and righteous God Guan Yu, the Great Emperor, who scares and kills all evil spirits."

In the alley, a child wearing a red mask was chasing and playing with other children while laughing.

"Wow, we are all ghosts!"

"Please spare my life, Lord Guan, please spare my life!"

After being suppressed for who knows how long, the children suddenly became noisy, and the alley that looked gloomy before was now filled with joyful people.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, help me, Xiao Qi, come quickly!"

Just as the lark Xiaoqi was about to rescue him, a big hand suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Chen Yi grabbed the restless and righteous monster in his hand and scolded him, "The matter is over, why are you still here? Go back to Fengqing Mountain quickly, everyone thinks you were kidnapped by Guhuo Bird."

Seeing that he couldn't struggle out, Xiao Qi simply lay down, opened his beak and shouted, "I'll be back tomorrow, I'll be back tomorrow."

Yin Tingxue came over and said, "Don't embarrass it."

Chen Yi threw it away and smiled at Yin Tingxue, saying, "The person is dead, but I didn't kill him."

Yin Tingxue was stunned, her face full of confusion.

Could it be that Magistrate Wei suddenly had an epiphany and put himself in danger?

Chen Yi spoke slowly, "There is no shortage of heroes in the world."

Yin Tingxue heard the hidden meaning and suddenly understood.

There are always some righteous people in the world who do not care about the cost or the consequences, and who put their life and death aside to do good things. Yin Tingxue feels that the more such people there are, the better, rather than just meeting them once in a while. However, as the saying goes, good people don't live long, and these people often don't have a good ending.

As a result, her brow became a little sad.

Chen Yi smiled at her and said, "I helped him clean up the mess."

Yin Tingxue's eyes lit up, she looked at Chen Yi, and wanted to say something, but finally nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"

She suddenly felt that she liked Chen Yi more today than yesterday.

Not far away, Madam Yan came over with a bowl of rice in her hand and said softly:

"Master Dao... my family is really struggling to make ends meet and I have no money to repay you, so I can only scrape together some food from the neighbors..."

Chen Yi turned his head and took a glance.
The bowl of rice was mostly clear white, piled up like a small hill, with some millet, green beans mixed in, and a small piece of bacon on top.

Madam Yan looked extremely embarrassed, with a little blush on her slovenly face. She hurriedly said:

"If you are not satisfied, just tell me the amount. I will try my best to repay you every year. For such a great favor, I will have no regrets even if I have to work like a slave in my next life."

Chen Yi stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "That's enough."

After saying that, he took the bowl of rice and the chopsticks.

Madam Yan stepped back embarrassedly, then turned around and scolded the children not to play too fiercely.

Chen Yi looked straight at Madam Yan, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then he glanced at Yin Tingxue, and seeing her looking at him curiously, Chen Yi pinched his fingertips to prevent her from hearing his thoughts.

"Why are you staring at me?" Yin Tingxue whispered.

"What do you say?"

Yin Tingxue thought of his lust, and that Lady Yan was also pretty, and suddenly got scared.
"Do you like married women?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and teased her intentionally: "Isn't it."

Yin Tingxue listened carefully and thought of the young lady from the Lin family. It was obvious that Chen Yi had some interest in her, so she became even more certain.

She frowned, worried that he would take advantage of her beauty and do something bad like kidnapping women.

If this is the case, it is better to put away the frown as soon as possible.

"Don't look at others." Yin Tingxue pulled his sleeve, "Look at me, I'm also a wife."

She spoke in a pleading tone and Chen Yi couldn't help laughing.

He loosened his hands and stopped making hand gestures. Yin Tingxue heard his inner voice and suddenly realized.

Madam Yan gradually quieted down the noisy children. She turned around and heard the Taoist priest say, "Let's go. We won't stay any longer."

"Then I'll take you there." Madam Yan said hurriedly. She would not be negligent towards the two of them.

So she carefully closed the doors and windows, her hair still disheveled, but her eyes had a clarity that was not there in the past.

She was not crazy, so she could pretend to be crazy and stupid to support her crumbling little family. The woman was not born with a strong heart, but the groans before her husband's death slowly built a high dam.

The sky has fallen at home, and she has to hold on.

She accompanied them all the way to the alley. At this time, the sky was dark and the atmosphere was heavy. The whole county was tinged with a hazy color, like a thin mist. The old people often said that at this time, the boundary between yin and yang was not clear.

At the entrance of the alley, the Taoist priest who was about to leave suddenly stopped. Madam Yan was just wondering when she saw him slowly squat down, put the rice in his hand on the ground, and then put two chopsticks upright into the rice.

"Xiao Qi is just a little demon. He doesn't have much magical power. He can't fool so many people just by pretending to be a ghost." He suddenly said.

Yan Niang didn't understand what was going on.

The next moment, she stood still as if struck by lightning.

The Taoist priest whispered, "I saw him. He is still by your side, always."

As she spoke, she also saw something. The deep twilight dimly enveloped the alley. Among the shadows, it seemed that there was a figure reaching out his hand, wanting to touch her, but unable to do so.

His lips were buzzing, and Madam Yan seemed to hear what he was saying, but what was he saying? She could not hear anything. Her lips were hoarse and she asked in a trembling voice, "What is he saying?"

"He said he was sorry for you."

There was a moment of silence behind Chen Yi.

When he looked up again, Madam Yan was still motionless, with two lines of hot tears on her face. The towering dam suddenly broke open.

She was in tears.

The setting sun is dim and warm.

Chen Yi clapped his hands and said, "After finishing this bowl of rice, it's time for you to leave."

The wisps of mist on the hot rice floated up along the chopsticks, condensing without dissipating. After a while, the rice became cold.

"Go quickly and don't come back."

After saying that, Chen Yi counted on his fingers and recited the sutra for salvation.
"In times of disaster, mercy comes to you, the nectar of the universe comes to you, and you are called by the ten directions to save all living beings..."

As the words fell word by word, the vague shadow also dissipated and disappeared between heaven and earth.

The alley was silent for a moment.

Lady Yan is like a soul coming back to life.
"Little girl, thank your benefactor!"

She knelt down, leaned over and tried to kowtow three times.

But what about people?

Suddenly a breeze blew by, and when I looked up again, the two Taoists had disappeared.

They did not accept the worship and left like this...

…………

The work was done, and Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue rested in the county for another day before leaving.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, after settling the bill with the waiter, they saw the proprietress coming down carrying a string of dried bacon. She put on a deliberately friendly smile and asked if they wanted to buy some to try on the way. Chen Yi replied "yes", and she hurried to the kitchen, cut and wrapped it up, and when she handed it to them, she didn't give them any chance to regret.

Chen Yi paid 120 coins for a string of bacon.

"We don't charge you more. Ten pounds of pork belly only give you six pounds of bacon, and you also need salt and wine. Besides, there will be a war in the south, and the price of salt will go up again. Sigh..."

As she was talking, the proprietress felt that she had made a loss and even had the urge to take the goods back.

But Chen Yi had already put it back in his pocket.

It was a sunny day with bright sunshine. The wide streets were filled with warmth. Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue, one big and one small, two Taoists from Yinjian Mountain left the inn and found a way to go out of the city.

They had not walked for long when a lark appeared in the forest.

It's Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi flew over and circled around the two of them. Before he could speak, Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, of course!" Xiao Qi shouted twice, then looked at the direction of the two and said, "Are you going to continue to go south? Don't go."

"Why?" Chen Yi asked curiously.

"There's a Guhuo bird over there!"

Xiao Qi shouted loudly.

There really is a Guhuo bird. Chen Yi immediately recalled that the mountain rat once said that the monsters in the south were chased away and killed. If it was only Xiaoqi who was causing trouble, this situation would definitely not have happened. It seems that this lark is just using the tiger skin as a coat and borrowing someone else's name.

"We are not afraid of Guhuo Bird," Chen Yi glanced at Yin Tingxue, "It just happens that we can lead people to eliminate the monster."

"Then go ahead. I think you are good people, so I came to remind you." Xiao Qi turned his head and flew in a different direction, "Humph!"

It is a lark, and even when it hums, it sounds like it is singing.

After saying this, it turned and disappeared into the woods, circling among the leaves, watching from afar.

Chen Yi didn't pay much attention to its words. He smoothed the sword case on his back and thought that if he could gain some experience for Yin Tingxue, it would be worth the trip.

The official road was full of tire tracks and had weeds growing on both sides. The road was flat. Walking slowly out, one could occasionally see weeds standing tall in the middle of the road, mixed with small flowers. Yin Tingxue would kick one with one kick.

She looked very happy.

Chen Yi couldn't help but pat her on the back and asked, "Are you in a good mood?"

"Yeah." Yin Tingxue answered very quickly. She had been in a good mood these past few days because everything Chen Yi did was good and more to her liking.

Avalokitesvara, he used to be a bad guy...

As I walk along the way, I can just watch Chen Yi slay demons and monsters without having to do it myself, which is also good.

Chen Yi looked at her brisk steps, her waist twisting back and forth, and suddenly he wanted to poke her.

As soon as he extended his hand, Yin Tingxue quickly dodged to the side, turned her head and looked at him with confusion.

Chen Yi didn't hide it anymore and said directly: "Let me poke it."

Yin Tingxue shook her head and said, "No."

"You are so happy, why don't you let me be happy too?"

This didn't make sense, but Yin Tingxue thought about all the things he had done and lowered her head to think about it.

"You have to reward me." Chen Yi struck while the iron was hot.

What he said was a little childish, but when Yin Tingxue thought about how she liked him, she didn't think it was childish anymore.

"Oh...what reward do you want? Just a poke?"

Yin Tingxue stretched her waist, the sun shining on the girl's waist, and it seemed so delicate under her cotton jacket.

Chen Yi looked at him for a while and said slowly: "Not just the waist, but also the feet."

Even though there was no one around, Yin Tingxue's face flushed. She whispered, "That's it?"

Chen Yi blinked and asked with a smile, "Do you want to add more?"

Yin Tingxue was about to shake her head to deny it, but a strange thought popped up in her heart. If she got closer to him, would he be better?

She glanced at Chen Yi, hesitated for a long time and said, "Come here."

Chen Yi walked over without knowing what was going on.

boo.

Yin Tingxue grabbed his sleeve, stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, looked down at the somewhat shy little fox, and opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

This was the first time she had kissed him willingly.

Chen Yi didn't know what to say, his heart was beating faster, and he suppressed his emotions on his face. Suddenly, he realized that his reaction was somewhat similar to Zhou Yitang's.

But the girl tilted her head and smiled, "Why are you... shy too?"

Chen Yi was furious when he heard this: "I'm not a tsundere!"

Yin Tingxue paused, covered her mouth and laughed secretly, she hadn't said anything yet.

Circling in the forest, Xiao Qi, who was watching from afar, was speechless. I am a lark, why did I fly here to eat a mouthful of dog food?
