My enemies became my companions

Chapter 487 Moonlight (Two in One)

Even though the person is gone, the fragrance still lingers in the air.

Chen Yi turned his head and saw Yin Tingxue's blushing face. He tightened his belt and said jokingly, "Did I ignore you?"

The girl shook her head quickly without any hesitation, for fear that she would be implicated by him. She knew his character best.

What's more, this is in the forest, what is it like?

His behavior was vulgar and immoral. Yin Tingxue never liked this. She frowned slightly at this moment. A strange smell wafted into her nose. She felt disgusted and kept saying, "It's not good for you to do this. You are too casual."

Chen Yi didn't care much and said, "She asked for it."

"Then she's not good." Yin Tingxue paused, then added: "You're not good either."

Chen Yi turned his head and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Not good means not good..." Her voice trailed off.

Chen Yi sneered and said without comment: "The man and the woman were joking with each other and gave each other peonies."

Yin Tingxue knew that this was a poem about wild sex from the Book of Songs, and she could also hear the pride in his words. Using the Book of Songs to endorse a book, wasn't this a perverse citation? She shook her head and said, "You're quoting the wrong thing."

"Where is the misquotation?"

Yin Tingxue rolled her eyes and said, "There's peony in your poem. Could it be that you're having sex with Master Zhou?"

"How do you know there hasn't been one?"

"what?"

Yin Tingxue was stunned on the spot.

Her impression of Zhou Yitang suddenly froze and became as fragile as ice.

Chen Yi smiled at her and said, "Really not."

Yin Tingxue breathed a sigh of relief. That's right. Master Zhou is such a real man, how could he do such a ridiculous thing? Even if he gets together with Chen Yi in the future, everything will remain the same. The master is still the master, and the disciple is still the disciple. It's better to keep it secret for the sake of the respected one.

However, having said this, Yin Tingxue no longer had the intention to scold Chen Yi, and she moved closer.

Chen Yi turned and walked towards the small building. As he walked, he asked, "How do you feel this time?"

“…I’m a little scared, but it turns out I’m so awesome.” When she finished, her voice involuntarily rose a little.

"Well, I'm late."

He sounded apologetic when he said this, and wondered if Yin Tingxue could hear it, but it was not easy to just say sorry directly.

The girl's ears moved slightly, she looked at him and said, "I don't mind."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this and said, "I didn't apologize to you."

"Yeah, I know everything."

Chen Yi took a deep breath.

Yin Tingxue smiled secretly in her heart.

Returning to the small building, Chen Yi asked Yin Tingxue to stay outside and walked in slowly. He saw that Guhuo Bird and his adopted sons and daughters had just woken up, and they all acted as if they were facing a great enemy when they saw someone walking in.

Instead, it was the Guhuo Bird that hurriedly came to greet them with a warm smile.

Chen Yi said slowly: "You want to surrender to the court?"

"Yes…"

"Make another great oath to your inner demon, and obey my orders from now on."

His tone left no room for doubt.

The Guhuo Bird did not dare to disobey, and immediately recited a spell and swore a great oath to its inner demon. A thin mist lingered and soon merged into its heart.

Chen Yi took out the Wusheng Ding from his arms. The crack was still there. Although it was not as big as before, it was still useful. He asked, "Do you want this thing when you surrender?"

Guhuo Bird hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."

For the imperial court, intelligence is more important than the so-called holy weapon of the White Lotus. What's more, the origin of the Wusheng Ding is unknown and it is not the real holy weapon of the White Lotus.

Chen Yi nodded slightly. Since the Guhuo Bird was not wanted, he could study it. This time he had to go all the way south to Longhu Mountain. Fighting with the White Lotus Sect was inevitable. Knowing oneself and the enemy was of utmost importance.

He stroked the intricate patterns on the tripod.

I think the Heavenly Eye... should be able to see where this Wusheng Ding came from.

…………

After the dancer who was about to be eaten by the monsters was rescued, she showed the way forward for Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue.

If you want to go south to Huguang, the best way is to take the water route, go south along the main stream of the Yellow River, all the way to Songshan, almost covering a thousand miles in one night, then go south by land from Songshan, change to the Ru River, bypass the Qinling Mountains, and enter the Yangtze River system, and you will truly enter the Huguang area.

Chen Yi and Yin Tingxue did not delay and walked early in the morning and slept at night for three days. However, they were still a step too slow when they arrived at the water town. It was curfew time, and the night watchmen beat gongs and drums and began to patrol the streets. Pedestrians on the road were driven back home, and only shadows were left in the town.

The two did not go to the inn first, but instead went to the ferry as if to try their luck.

There were a few small boats floating by the ferry, but no one was in them. They were just tied there with ropes. It seemed that the boatmen had also gone home.

"How to do this?"

Yin Tingxue was a little depressed. She was supposed to stay at the inn, but Chen Yi came here first to take a look. Now the inn seemed to be closed, and she might have to go to the government office.

"Why are you panicking?" Chen Yi laughed, then leaned over and put his hand into the water.

Yin Tingxue raised an eyebrow and took a look.

The water was rippling, and when Chen Yi stretched out his hand again, there was a shrimp and a crab in his palm.

He threw the shrimp first.
"Shrimp soldiers."

As soon as the prawn landed on the ground, it swelled up rapidly, its mouth opened and closed, its two feet touched the ground, its two claws drooped, and its head drooped in a daze.

Chen Yi threw the crab to the ground again.

"Crab General."

The crab stood on all eight limbs, and after a while it managed to stand up, standing on two legs like a human. Its eyes moved around, and it looked much smarter than the shrimp.

Under Yin Tingxue's surprised gaze, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals touched their claws together and bowed to Chen Yi.

"Are you ready, kids?" Chen Yi asked loudly.

"Yes, Captain."

"Too quiet."

"Yes, Captain!"

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals shouted in unison, and then Chen Yi jumped towards one of the small boats. The shrimp soldiers stood at the bow and the crab generals stood at the stern, and they cut the leash with a click.

Yin Tingxue was full of curiosity when she saw Chen Yi extending his hand towards her and inviting her to get on board.

She stepped onto the boat carefully, came to the cabin, sat down slowly, and said in disbelief, "How magical."

"It's Taoism. Who told you not to learn Taoism?" Chen Yi said with a smile.

"Master Zhou didn't teach me either..." Yin Tingxue felt embarrassed and asked, "What kind of Taoism is this?"

"It's just the spirit-infusing technique plus some shapeshifting technique."

After saying that, Chen Yi waved his hand, and a shrimp and a crab jumped into the water, sliding past the waves and carrying the boat slowly.

"Would you like to sit at the bow?" Chen Yi asked immediately.

"Ah."

The two men came to the bow, and there was a slight breeze and waves, causing the boat to sway slightly.

Yin Tingxue was a little scared, so she grabbed Chen Yi's clothes. The river was sparkling with silver light, and a furry full moon hung in the sky.

The fishy smell of the river water hit her nose, and the water flowed in circles. Yin Tingxue looked down and saw the big shrimp swimming laboriously under the bow, pulling the boat forward.

This scene was so delightful that the little fox couldn't help laughing out loud.

How interesting.

.........

The boat sailed until late at night, and when it reached a part of the river where the water was calm, it slowly stopped.

Chen Yi had returned to the cabin to rest early, leaving Yin Tingxue alone at the bow, looking up to admire the river view.

The water on the river was calm, and the shrimps and crabs had disappeared and were no longer under the boat.

Dark clouds slowly slid over, blocking the moonlight, and the sky and the earth suddenly became dark.

Darkness enveloped her from all directions. Yin Tingxue took a deep breath. Everything around her was silent, and a bit of chill penetrated her clothes. There was no ripple on the water surface, only a dark and deep pool of ink.

Wow…

Yin Tingxue heard a few subtle sounds.

It seems to be underwater.

It's shrimp soldiers and crab generals...

After listening more carefully, Yin Tingxue discovered that it was not the sound of shrimp or crab claws breaking the water, but something floating up from the bottom.

There was dead silence all around, with no other sound.

Yin Tingxue couldn't help but ask, "Who, who?"

Underwater, it seemed to stop for a moment, and then floated up again.

Yin Tingxue's eyes slowly moved over the bow and looked underwater.

The dark and deep ink looked like scattered black hair, and a swollen and pale human face emerged from the bottom of the water!

Yin Tingxue froze in place for a moment, feeling a chill rising up her spine.

The person underwater grinned at Yin Tingxue with a weird smile.

Just as the girl froze, a hand stretched out from behind her and suddenly grabbed into the water.

The man's face instantly turned from smiling to fear, and he retreated into the water like crazy.

But he didn't have time to run away, and was grabbed by Chen Yi, with half of his face being pulled out of the water in an extremely embarrassing manner.
"A little water ghost, you still want to make trouble?"

Yin Tingxue, who was still frightened, shrank back for a while, then looked at the water ghost in fear.

It has a human face, a fish body, and disheveled hair, like a big crucian carp with a human face.

Chen Yi took out the talisman from his arms with his other hand, tore it into several pieces with one hand, and threw it into the water.

The water ghost first struggled and stiffened, then turned into a ball of green mist and dissipated completely in the water.

After doing all this, Chen Yi turned his head to look at Yin Tingxue and said with a smile: "Are you scared silly?"

Yin Tingxue nodded.

"Who told you not to understand Taoism? There is more to come." After saying that, Chen Yi pointed to the water surface.

In the distance, under the water, countless black hairs formed a circle and surrounded the small boat.

Yin Tingxue couldn't help but shiver.

She shrank her eyes, not daring to look, but still wanted to look, so she glanced at it several times.

"Don't be afraid, they don't dare to come."

Chen Yi continued:
"Sit still. I'm going to teach you how to be a Taoist priest."

After hearing this, Yin Tingxue put away her curious eyes, stopped her wandering mind, and sat opposite her.

The boat swayed gently, and there were mottled starlight underwater. There was no telling how many shrimps and crabs there were. There was no wind on the lake, but the currents still pushed the boat down continuously.

Chen Yi still remembered how excited and curious he felt when he first saw these wonders. A whole day was not enough for him. His heart was itching, but he couldn't scratch it... So now that he had achieved success in his cultivation, he would not let Yin Tingxue see them, making her suffer from the itchiness.

"Don't look outside."

Yin Tingxue couldn't help but glance at him, but she immediately retracted her gaze, not daring to disobey him.

Chen Yi said slowly: "Do you know... what is the most important thing about being a Taoist priest?"

"To save the world?" Yin Tingxue said subconsciously.

"No."

Yin Tingxue thought of Sister Weiying and asked, "Then...cultivate to immortality?"

"Not at all."

"What is that? Free and easy?" Yin Tingxue saw that he was still shaking his head, so she asked again in confusion: "What is that?"

Chen Yi smiled jokingly: "Yes... leave it to fate, and people who practice Taoism often pursue fate, which is a kind of leaving it to fate."

"Leave it to fate?" Yin Tingxue asked doubtfully, "Isn't it true that my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God?"

She had also read some Taoist poetry and knew the line "After swallowing a golden pill, I realized that my fate was not determined by heaven."

Chen Yi smiled slowly and said, "People say 'My fate is not determined by heaven'. The first sentence is about swallowing a golden elixir. This has a premise, which is the golden elixir realm. This is the method of escaping from the body. Your soul is perfect and pure, and you will not allow external evil thoughts to invade. Therefore, my fate is not determined by heaven."

Since Zhou Yitang had beheaded the upper and middle corpses before, Chen Yi no longer had any desire for fame, wealth, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Naturally, he was isolated from many external evil thoughts. In addition, with his divine eye, he entered the Golden Core Realm early.

"But I have also achieved golden elixir." Yin Tingxue said.

Chen Yi knew this and said with a smile: "Then do you know that leaving everything to fate and my fate is in my own hands are not in conflict with each other?"

"No conflict?"

"Listening to fate means listening to what God says, not doing what he says. Fate means your fate, not God's. Most people mistakenly think that leaving fate to fate means not making any effort, but they don't know that it is just waiting for something to happen. Moreover, leaving fate to fate is just a means to an end. The real purpose is to let nature take its course."

Having said this, Chen Yi paused and said in a somewhat arrogant tone:

"If the words of heaven sound good, then listen to them. If they sound bad, then get out of here."

"Oh." Yin Tingxue suddenly realized, and continued: "Then from now on, if your words sound good, I will listen to you, if they sound bad, you will give me..."

Chen Yi squinted at her.

Yin Tingxue immediately said, "I'll listen to you even if it doesn't sound good."

Chen Yi glared at her, and Yin Tingxue's shoulders relaxed and she giggled.

Looking into the distance again, the water ghosts were just as Chen Yi said. They were surrounding from a distance and dared not come over. In a short while, they slowly dispersed from the water.

Yin Tingxue thought about it, moved closer to Chen Yi, and leaned on him. Chen Yi also turned around and hugged her in his arms.

"In fact, you don't need to be afraid of most of the monsters and ghosts in the world. After learning some Taoist magic, exorcising monsters and eliminating evil spirits will be as easy as eating. But I was afraid that you would get into trouble by doing justice, so I never taught you much." Chen Yi spoke in a gentle voice.

Yin Tingxue nodded slightly and said, "If you are sure, I will listen to you."

"Do you listen to everything I say?" Chen Yi said with a smile.

"You have clairvoyance and I have clairaudience," she said as a matter of course.

"We are a good match."

"Just say so."

Chen Yi felt a little warm in his heart, and immediately asked jokingly: "Then where did you put Master Zhou? What is her ability?"

Yin Tingxue looked thoughtful when he heard this.

After a while, she immediately smiled and said, "You have a great mouth."

Chen Yi listened to her newly made-up words and asked, "Why?"

"Master Zhou is very stubborn."

Chen Yi was stunned and laughed out loud.

Then he turned around and lectured Yin Tingxue, "You dare not respect your teacher, won't you bully your teacher and ancestors in the future?"

"No, I won't."

"I see you're hiding quite well, but I'm afraid you'll bully and kill my senior brother first..."

As he said this, he was about to grab Yin Tingxue with both hands. The little fox reacted quickly and quickly jumped away from him and ran into the cabin. Chen Yi followed and was about to throw her into his arms...

"Not on the boat, not on the boat!"

"Just hug for a while, who cares about you."

"Then don't lie. Ah, don't, don't, don't. Didn't you say you just wanted to hug me for a while?"

"Eradicate all evil."

"woo"

Before long, the noise of fighting gradually faded away.

Sparkling,

On the calm water surface, there is only a faint moon.
