My enemies became my companions

Chapter 496 Heavenly Dao (Tonight)
"Kill them all."

When these four short words came out, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Their eyes widened as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

“Master…you are right, right…” Li Chengxing asked in a trembling voice.

"He is telling the truth," Chen Yi pointed at Li Xian, then at Duan Zengshi, "She is telling the truth too. Both of them are not lying, so let's kill them both and communicate with the spirits together."

Duan Zeng was a woman after all, and she couldn't bear it. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, her face turning visibly pale.

Li Xian's lips were also buzzing, his two pairs of hooves were trembling violently, and he stood there motionless.

Yin Tingxue looked at the sheep and the man, and didn't hear any signs of lying. At this moment, she couldn't help but look at Chen Yi, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Chen Yi turned around and whispered, "Close your eyes. Don't look at anything, and don't listen to anything."

Yin Tingxue hesitated and then nodded.

“…Isn’t it a bit too extreme?” Li Chengxing was not willing to watch him kill Li Xian, but he didn’t dare to offend the Taoist priest.

Chen Yi laughed and snapped his fingers without any hesitation.

A flash of sword light flashed by, and a hole appeared on Duan Zeng's forehead.

"Ah!" Li Chengxing screamed before he could react.

Another ray of sword light flew out, and a hole appeared on Li Xian's forehead.

"father!"

Li Chengxing almost pounced on it, but it was too late. The sheep's body was already convulsing, and its four hooves were flapping, slowly stopping moving.

My father's life was slowly slipping away in my hands.

He turned his head, his eyes filled with fear, confusion and resentment, and the next moment his heart was burning with anger.

"Brother Li, don't worry." The Taoist waved his hand at him.

"I, I'll kill you!"

Li Chengxing roared and rushed towards Chen Yi.

Whoosh.

Another ray of sword light passed through.

Li Chengxing also had a hole pierced on his forehead.

The body slid downwards, slowly losing its life.

In the blink of an eye, three more corpses appeared on the ground. Chen Yi took a quick look. This scene was extremely cruel, so he told Yin Tingxue not to look.

He turned around and grabbed a handful of incense ash in front of the Kitchen God shrine in Duan's mansion, saying, "Excuse me, can you lend me some food?"

After saying this, as if he didn’t hear the expected response, Chen Yi raised his head and glanced at the statue of the Kitchen God.

Reach out and touch it gently.

The black-faced, bearded head rolled down.

“Just for show.”

Chen Yi curled his lips, turned around, sprinkled the incense ash on the ground, took out three incense sticks from his arms, lit each one, and placed them on the incense ash.

As the incense smoke rises,

Three souls then floated up from the ground, with confused expressions on their faces.

When they saw Chen Yi, the three of them screamed in unison.

Suddenly the wind blew, and it was particularly cold.

"Don't worry, everyone." Chen Yi waved his hand again.

The three of them resisted the urge to run away. After a long while, they looked down and saw their own figures floating in the air.

Chen Yi then asked Yin Tingxue to open her eyes. The girl looked at the scene curiously, "Only a soul is left."

The three of them came back to their senses, and Duan Zeng asked in a trembling voice: "Master, Master...what are you doing?"

Chen Yi said slowly: "Search your souls to confirm. Other than that, we have to ask Mr. Li."

Several people immediately turned to look at Li Xian.

Li Xian pointed at himself in confusion and asked, "Me?"

"You've been dead for three years, and you were reincarnated as a sheep. Have you ever thought that there's something wrong?"

"What's wrong?" his son Li Chengxing asked after he came to his senses. "The process is wrong."

Several people widened their eyes upon hearing this.

I've never died before, so who knows what the process is?
"After a person dies, they have to keep vigil for seven days, after which they will be taken to the underworld by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Devil, Black and White Impermanence, and will be reincarnated after judgment. If there are wandering ghosts, the City God will send people to capture them and take them to the underworld," Chen Yi explained slowly. "But you skipped all these processes and were reincarnated directly."

The three of them suddenly realized that even if someone died, they still had to report it to the authorities and go through the formalities.

"But your town..." Chen Yi glanced at the headless Kitchen God statue, "It's ok that there's no City God, but the Kitchen God is not here either."

Even in the wealthy areas of Suzhou and Hangzhou, not every county has a City God, but every household has a Kitchen God.

You can lose your position but you cannot go without food.

But even the Kitchen God was not there.

What kind of dangerous and dangerous place is this town?
"Anyway, let's search the soul first."

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

It's not surprising.

After searching the souls, it was discovered that what the two said was correct and there was no deliberate concealment.

Chen Yi had anticipated this. He had originally taken action not just to search the soul, but also because of the reincarnation of this town that did not follow the normal procedures.

After Li Xian recovered from the soul-searching, he said, "So, I seemed to have fallen into a hole at that time." He gestured as if he was sliding down, and continued, "I was falling, and with a thud, I fell out of the ewe's belly and landed in the haystack."

"It's unreasonable and shouldn't be like this," Chen Yi said after listening, "You must know that the cycle of life and death is the way of heaven."

"Is this true?"

Suddenly,

An unexpected voice rang in my ears.

Chen Yi's pupils shrank slightly and his eyes dropped to the ground.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the earth and reach somewhere.

In the medium-sized space, an old woman suddenly appeared. She had a misty figure and was looking around with her hands behind her back, as if she was picking things in the vegetable market.

If not the Saint in the Immortal Cauldron, then who else? !

Besides being puzzled, I was also a little afraid. How could she come and go freely and sense the outside world?

"Why did you come out?" Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and asked in his mind.

The old saint did not reply, but just kept looking around, as if waiting for Chen Yi to ask impatiently. Fortunately, Chen Yi was very patient, and he knew that the old saint, who had been huddled in the cauldron for so long, would never do anything without a purpose.

After a long time, the old saint finally spoke first:

"Reincarnation is the way of heaven? Who said that..."

"Hasn't it always been like this when people die and go to the underworld to be reincarnated?" Chen Yi asked back.

But then the old saint sneered.

She seemed to have heard something ridiculous.

Chen Yi remained calm, but after she finished laughing, she said,
"Before Buddhism was introduced to China, was there any reincarnation in the Central Plains?"

Chen Yi was slightly stunned.

My thoughts stopped for a moment.

"Master, Master?"

Two hurried calls brought Chen Yi back to his senses. Looking back again, the old saint had disappeared in a flash. She must have retreated back into the cauldron.

Chen Yi pressed his head and suddenly had some ideas about the situation in this small town that he had been confused about.

Li Xian and others were looking at Chen Yi nervously, and called out twice tentatively.

Yin Tingxue on the side also poked his arm.

Chen Yi straightened his head and asked:

"Do you know where the hole is?"

"what?"

Chen Yi said word by word: "What you just said is the hole that will lead to reincarnation if you fall into it."
