My enemies became my companions

Chapter 540 Two Women (Two in One)

Yin Weiying's face was solemn.

Although the dragon and tiger were already close, the encounter with this one-armed woman could not be simply attributed to the word "coincidence".

Sure enough, in the misty rain, the one-armed woman walked straight up to the teahouse. When Yin Weiying came to his senses, she had already pushed the door open and came in front of him.

Lin Wanheng was slightly stunned. Having grown up in seclusion, she knew more or less about the rumors about the sword armor, but her knowledge was not comprehensive. Before she could even offer her greeting, Zhou Yitang had already passed her and walked straight to Yin Weiying.

The female crown felt like she was facing a great enemy.

She had no idea how to get along with this taciturn woman, not to mention that Zhou Yitong had been practicing Taoism for a long time and was also the Taoist Master Tongxuan and Chen Yi's master. To her, a teacher should be like a mother, so it would be best to treat her with respect.

But Chen Yi had no regard for etiquette and was lustful to death. He had an unclear relationship with Jian Jia.

Moreover, the love between the two of them is as deep as that between Ruogu Jian and Yin Weiying. How could Yin Weiying not see it?

Among the three ladies, Yin Tingxue is not a concern. Only this person is the stumbling block for him to completely control Chen Yi.

If that's the case, then how can she be inferior to others?
With thousands of thoughts running through his mind and no decision to make, Yin Weiying said calmly, "It's been a long time since we last met. Why are you here?"

"I just met your master and knew you were here." Zhou Yitang replied lightly.

"You wanted to see me?" Yin Weiying pushed the tea over. "I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

Zhou Yitang took the tea without hesitation, as if it was natural for Yin Weiying to serve tea.

There was a slight ripple of emotion, but the Goddess Taihua, who was good at cultivating her Qi, did not say a word about it.

Shura field?
Yin Weiying has always been magnanimous and tolerant, and is definitely not the type to quibble. Even if she encounters discomfort, she will not confront her.

Besides, even if the two of them were not close, they were still acquaintances and sisters, and there had never been any unpleasant moments when they had been to the capital.

When Zhou Yitang put down the tea bowl, Yin Weiying asked nonchalantly, "Why did you come to see me?"

Zhou Yitang did not answer, but asked: "Do you know why we have to go south this time?"

Yin Weiying felt puzzled, but still said, "My master took me to pay homage to Mount Longhu."

Zhou Yitang seemed to understand something after hearing this and nodded slightly.

Just as the nun was about to ask again, Zhou Yitang suddenly said, "Yin Weiying, you have the highest talent, but the worst luck, so you have a bumpy road, so that you are often good at doing small things, but you get half the result with twice the effort on big things. In this case, you should lean on a big tree for shade, and don't think about being alone. The Tao is everywhere, even in feces and urine. Since you are determined to achieve immortality, you should start from small things and don't aim too high. This is the right way for you."

Yin Weiying's eyes flickered.

These words were undoubtedly insightful, and even coincided with Yin Weiying's current thoughts. In the past, she had been a bit arrogant, but Zhou Yitang's sudden words made people feel confused.

Yin Weiying asked in confusion: "Why are you suddenly saying this?"

Zhou Yitang raised a finger, pointed at Lin Wanheng and said, "It's better to do more than not do it."

It turns out he is just trying to bluff people by showing off his predecessor's skills.

Yin Weiying was not someone who could be easily fooled. Even Chen Yi couldn't fool her. She immediately said indifferently, "Thank you for your advice."

"Why did she come with you?" Zhou Yitang asked after giving Lin Wanheng a quick glance.

Yin Weiying endured and endured, and said in a clear voice: "But I will make the decision on whether to take a companion for the trip, thank you for your concern."

"Oh?" Zhou Yitang said in a playful tone.

Yin Weiying remained calm. Then, she noticed that the one-armed woman's eyes suddenly moved, as if she was calculating something. Finally, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she seemed to sigh softly, "That's it."

Zhou Yitang turned around and said, "What I just said was just to advise you to see the big picture from the small. It doesn't matter if you listen to it or not... it's best to listen to it. I'm not your master, and I have nothing to do with you. What I said so far is just to give a hint to a junior."

That's right to say...

Yin Weiying frowned and gave the one-armed woman some advice as a senior. They got married on the same day, but she didn't even say a word of kindness to her. It was really unreasonable.

If that’s the case, if… you can act like a senior, why can’t she act like a eldest lady?
"Thank you again for your advice," the nun in white asked casually, "I heard that you went south with Lu Ying. Her story of riding a crane and dismounting a dragon and a tiger is now regarded as a beautiful story."

"It is reasonable for her to behave like this. She should inherit the mantle of Cangwu Peak."

"Then I guess my apprentice will attack as well."

Zhou Yitang glanced at her, Yin Weiying waved her hand, chuckled and said: "Eldest sister is like mother, Lu Ying is your eldest disciple, and will be the master of Cangwu Peak in the future. Naturally, you have to take care of everything and arrange the whereabouts of each disciple. These things are easy and difficult. Taoists like us hate to disturb the peace and quiet. You still have to make a careful decision later."

The one-armed woman narrowed her eyes.

Yin Weiying's wrists were already covered in cold sweat, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, as if Zhou Yitong would suddenly attack her with a sword. However, she still pretended to be calm, with thousands of thoughts in her mind, calculating every move.

However, Zhou Yitang did not get angry, but just drank the tea silently, and then said: "That's true."

Yin Weiying was greatly surprised and his eyes widened.

"Let's go." Zhou Yitang turned around and said.

“…I…will see you off.” The nun stood up and saw him off.

The two of them slowly left the teahouse and walked almost side by side in the misty streets. The river water along the side was sparkling, and a few fish swam by, but were scared away by a gust of wind.

After a while, Yin Weiying couldn't help asking, "Why did you come to me to tell me this?"

"I have something to remind you. Although Longhu Mountain seems safe, it is actually undercurrents. You are the Goddess of Taihua. You only know Taoism but not martial arts. Your life may be in danger."

Yin Weiying was even more surprised that she was so kind. After a long while, he nodded slightly.

She took over and said, "Since I know the Dao, I won't worry about these things. Besides, he will come, but he just hasn't arrived yet. If you are really worried, you can share the Dao sword intent with me."

Zhou Yitang glanced at her and said slowly, "If you were a mortal, it would be fine, but you have already practiced Taoism. If I give you the sword spirit, you might see through it and steal my skills. No matter which sect or school you are from, it is a taboo to pass on the skills to outsiders. It can only be passed on between master and apprentice, father and son, mother and daughter, and brothers and sisters."

Yin Weiying caught a hint of meaning from this, and said, "You are so strict about following the rules? Given our relationship, it would be fine if you just pass on the sword technique to me."

"Yes, people are alive, but rules are dead."

Zhou Yitang said slowly:

"If you accept me as your stepmother, I will pass on all I have learned throughout my life to you, and it will not be considered a violation of the sect's rules."

Yin Weiying: “…”

Good one-armed man, I want to be your sister and you want to be my mother!
The female priest who was speechless could not curse, so she could only say: "Forget it then."

At that time, the worst that could happen is that she would go find Chen Yi and try to persuade him with all his might. Even if she couldn't practice both Taoism and martial arts and couldn't learn the sword technique, she could still put the sword manual in front of this woman and make her angry to death.

Zhou Yitang seemed to see the woman's anxiety and suddenly asked, "Is the road so small?"

Yin Weiying's eyes paused for a moment, and then he said calmly:
"It would be great if I could become an immortal forever."

Zhou Yitang laughed, turned around and walked away.
"It's nice to be free and easy like you sometimes."

When he looked up again, the person had disappeared and was nowhere to be found. Yin Weiying didn't understand what was going on, so he turned around and went back.

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

Chu Yiyuan's head was dizzy. All the black, white, yellow and blue memories were mixed into one pot, pouring into his brain like red-hot molten iron, making his head hurt terribly just by thinking about it.

This is because the seven souls have left the body and cannot adapt after returning, just like a person who has slept for a long time often cannot control the body for the first time, the qi attacks the heart, and the soul and the spirit repel each other.

After Chen Yi stuck a talisman on his head, his dizziness and headache finally eased a lot. Then he listened to Chen Yi talk about his experience in the tomb.

Chu Yiyuan was startled when he heard this, his face turned pale, and there was confusion and suspicion in his eyes.

"Master Chu Xiang... you have no memory of anything?"

"I have no impression... I only remember a loud bang that almost pierced my ears, and then my feet were a little shaky, as if I fell, and I don't remember much after that..." Chu Yiyuan tried hard to think, but there was only severe pain in his mind.

"No need to force yourself to think about it." Chen Yi waved his hand and observed Chu Yiyuan's situation at the same time, his mind full of thoughts.

All the members of the White Lotus Sect, including Chu Yiyuan, had experienced the separation of their souls from their bodies to varying degrees. They were leaning against the broken monument in groups of three or four, gasping for breath and leaning on each other.

Chen Yi kicked away the gravel at his feet and stared at the embarrassed White Lotus sect members in the distance. Chu Yiyuan was leaning against a broken tree and rubbing his temples. The other sect members were also pale and dizzy, but why did Donggong Ruoshu grow feathers?
What is the difference?

Donggong Ruoshu's body is located deep in the palace, and behind him is a mural of the Great God of Destiny riding a dragon descending to the earth.

The members of the White Lotus Sect stood around the stone platform like figurines, and nine bronze tripods also formed a circle. On the stone platform were the remains of the Great God of Life, just like the ancient Nuo ritual reappearing in the world.

Whenever Chen Yi thought of this, he got goose bumps.

There must be a purpose...

Chen Yi suddenly asked in his mind: "Old man, I have a question, how did you get dug out of that Chu tomb?"

In any case, as the saint of the Light and Dark Cult, she should have nothing to do with the Chu Tomb from ancient times. But in her words, the Light and Dark Cult has a close connection with ancient events.

"It wasn't me who was dug out, it was the Wusheng Ding that was dug out."

"What's the difference?"

"It's very big," the old saint finally said slowly, "I have been inside it all the time, and this tripod...it is a door."

"Door?"

"The door to the world of ignorance. Ancient people said that a long, long time ago, there was a place that was darker than darkness. There, the boundary between life and death was not clear. Death was life, and life was death. Emperor Shun executed Gun, and Gun turned into yellow energy after his death. The snake turned into a fish, and Zhuanxu was resurrected after his death..." The old saint's voice was old and deep. "They called that place...'Yuyuan'."

"Yuyuan... is the world of ignorance?" Chen Yi was greatly surprised. "Isn't the world of ignorance... a term used by Buddhists?"

"Oh, the name is Buddhist, yes, but the place is the same, just with a different name... Be it Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, including us, everyone regards them as different schools, and regards the things of both schools as different things, but the world is the same, and both schools are in this world, so how can there be a clear boundary? It's just mixed together, and people follow what others say, and it's hard to tell the truth from the false."

The old saint paused, and then raised her voice and said:
"Only my holy teaching knows the past and the present, and is able to glimpse the truth of this world."

Chen Yi did not write a single word.

The old saint keeps saying that Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism have deceived the world, but in the eyes of the three schools, the same is true for the Light and Dark Sects. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false in the world, and Chen Yi will not easily draw a conclusion.

"I know what you are hinting at." The old saint said suddenly.

"Oh?"

"Soul, come back... They are calling for the soul of the Great God of Destiny."

There was a muffled thunder in the distance, and the heaven and earth were startled. When the voice fell, Chen Yi suddenly thought of the mural, in which the gate of heaven opened wide, and the Great God of Life descended in a dragon chariot, wearing jade clothes and carrying spiritual flowers, and descended to the earth.

The East Palace is just below the mural.

It's not that her soul is not delicious, it's clearly that they want to use her body as a vessel for their next life!

No wonder the East Palace has fairies on its skin.
If a mortal soul cannot enter an immortal body, what about the immortal soul?

.........

Now that the secret realm has been discovered and returned underground, Chu Yiyuan no longer has any reason to stay here.

He came here specially this time, originally to atone for his sins and make up for the losses of the White Lotus Sect in Huguang. However, the opposite happened and not only did he work in vain, he almost lost his life.

There were only a few close confidants around him who had lived and died together for a long time. Although Chu Yiyuan appeared calm in front of outsiders, he had already lost all hope. He wanted to give away all his wealth and asked a few people to return to the headquarters and find their own way out to avoid being implicated by him.

"Master, things haven't come to this yet." One of them pushed the money back.

"Not yet... why not? After I return to the main temple, it will be an easy task for me to take the position of incense master. I'm afraid I will be executed. Mother Wusheng, it will be worth it if I can return to my hometown of Zhenkong after death." Chu Yiyuan could only smile bitterly and pushed it away again.

"Don't be discouraged, we still have a way out." The man pushed back.

way out?

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Chu Yiyuan raised a glimmer of hope and asked, "Where is the way out?"

"That Captain Chen..." The words were so powerful that they sounded like thunder among these people.

Chu Yiyuan was shocked and angry and said, "He has done us a great favor, how dare you ask me to betray him?"

The White Lotus Sect member thought that he had not thought of betraying him, and then explained carefully: "…It's not betrayal, but using the tiger's skin to make a coat. He is highly skilled in martial arts, wanted by the whole country, and he is from the Ming Cult. It is impossible for the headquarters not to pay attention to him."

"You mean..."

"We have to rely on this big guy. Even if he doesn't come out to protect us, he can still make the people at the headquarters afraid to act rashly."

Chu Yiyuan's eyes lit up.
This is a good idea.

Chu Yiyuan had seen Chen Yi's martial arts skills, and his reputation was full of evil. This person must be valued by the sect. If he could rely on his reputation, even if he was stripped of his position as the incense master, he would not be able to save his life.

"Then again, we have different destinations and will go our separate ways sooner or later. What should we do?"

The confidant slowly offered a suggestion: "Everyone in the world knows that Captain Chen is greedy for money and lustful. We just need to cater to his preferences..."
