My enemies became my companions

Chapter 543: I missed a few chapters (four chapters in one)

It was done overnight.

When he woke up in the morning, Chen Yi learned from the waiter that the group of warriors and Taoists had gone far away. He nodded slightly, thinking that they must have gone back to Longhu Mountain to report.

Who knows, these Taoists might exaggerate the matter after they go back and portray him as an unforgivable heinous criminal. Chen Yi didn't care too much. His involvement in this matter was an accident, and he was only there to deliver the sword. Now that the sword had arrived, he didn't need to care what these Taoists thought of him.

Chen Yi went outside the inn to buy some breakfast and walked in with his left foot first.

When I returned to the room and was about to turn around the screen, I suddenly heard Yin Tingxue moan: "Wait a minute! I'm taking a shower with Sister Donggong."

Chen Yi was slightly stunned, inexplicably,

He suddenly felt very dirty.

Chen Yi was a little surprised as the blood rushed through his body. He couldn't help but think about just rushing in, but he gave up the idea soon after.

I was still acting like a master in front of others last night. It would be too embarrassing to break in now. And there was a stupid girl who didn't know the difference between men and women.
As his mind was in turmoil, Chen Yi recalled the time when the girl snuggled up to him in the bathtub. She had always been shy, and even though she was married at that time, she was unwilling to bathe with him. It was only after he used threats and inducements, and spanked her several times, that she reluctantly went into the water. She was still a concubine at that time, and Chen Yi held her gently for a long time, but her shoulders were still trembling, and the water ripples followed... She was so afraid of him.

In the past, he had no psychological burden when bullying the little fox. He bullied her however he wanted. One day, she stretched out her left foot first when she walked in, and Chen Yi grabbed her and put her on the bed.

Chen Yi sighed. Things were different now. No one could bully him without a reason. Thinking about it carefully, she had always been lovable, and he had always been soft-hearted towards her. He first promised her to learn to like her, then took her to Yintai Temple, then became her boyfriend, and later gave her gifts... It seemed as if they had signed many treaties between them without realizing it. They had gradually become husband and wife from being a master and concubine, and he gradually stopped punishing her.

After an unknown amount of time, Yin Tingxue wrapped herself in clothes and came out. She turned around the screen and saw Chen Yi, and suddenly said, "Chen Yi, I'm going to punish you."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Oh, why are you punishing me?"

"You stretched out your left foot first when you entered the door."

Chen Yi was stunned. His thoughts were all heard by the little fox. He smiled and pinched her moist little face after washing. "What are you punishing me for?"

"Can I punish you?" she asked cautiously.

Chen Yi was unwilling and said softly, "Okay, I'll play with you for once."

Yin Tingxue was about to walk to the table with a smile on her face. The two were just about to express their affection when an inappropriate voice came from the bathroom: "Tingxue." She said it twice in a row.

Yin Tingxue looked down and realized that she might never have this trouble.

Chen Yi: “…….”

"Oh, you're still young, it's normal that you don't know."

Donggong Ruoshu looked as if it was a matter of course. Yin Tingxue didn't want to show him a bad face, so she calmed down, rolled up the towel and lowered her head to wipe it. Then she heard something... Why was he thinking about bad things again?

Yin Tingxue frowned and exerted great force on her hands. Donggong Ruoshu was not annoyed and felt that the girl was not exerting enough force.

She can hear it all.

The girl couldn't help but think aggrievedly,
Alas... How could I have such an unreasonable idea? Please forgive me, Avalokitesvara...

…………..
Beijing.

After the turmoil, Wuyong Tower suffered heavy losses. Many of its original branches and minions were pruned by the royal family. Instead, the independent underworld intelligence organization, an industry funded and supported by the Chen family of Jin State, was gradually taken over and the Chen family's legitimate daughter was lost. In this situation, the owner of the tower, Li Jisheng, had no way to deal with it and could only take it one step at a time.

Fortunately, the weather has been good over the past year, and Wuyonglou's reputation is still there, as are its connections, and people of all sizes still come to patronize it.

Turning the corridor, Li Jisheng walked in slowly with a shrewd smile on his face.

A distinguished guest came today.

Lifeng Pavilion.

Killer organizations are either despised or feared. The Lifeng Pavilion is notorious for the latter. The assassins in the pavilion travel between the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Yu Dynasty. Killing people is as easy as taking candy from a bag. This time, they were entrusted by a big family in the Western Jin Dynasty to kill someone Li Jisheng was somewhat familiar with.

Min Ning.

"Master Li, there is no need to be polite. Let's get straight to the point. We in Lifeng Pavilion have heard about two Min Nings, one in Western Shu and the other in the southeast. Which one is real and which one is fake?" asked Han Diao Zhonghou, the incense master of Lifeng Pavilion.

Li Jisheng gave up the idea of ​​saying polite words. Merchants always follow people's desires. He said, "I think one of them is the real Min Ning, and the other one must be the fake Min Ning pretended by Chen Yi, the captain of the Chen family. I kindly remind you that the latter one... is not easy to deal with."

"Thank you for your kindness, Pavilion Master Li. We met the fake Min Ning. It's good luck to leave an intact body." Zhong Hou said, "Name your price."

Li Jisheng said with embarrassment: "When Wuyonglou was in trouble, Chen Yi, the captain of the West Factory, rescued us. He was very kind to us."

“We’ll add money.”

"You can't say that..." Li Jisheng hadn't finished speaking when he saw the other party trying to touch his wallet again. He could only smile bitterly: "The real Min Ning is in Xishu."

Zhong Hou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked doubtfully, "In Xishu? What is he doing there? Is this information really reliable?"

"His elder sister once worked for us, so she left some clues. If you want to know the reason..." Li Jisheng took a sip of tea and said, "There is no such thing as being able to find out the reason."

Seeing this, Zhong Hou questioned him several times, but Li Jishen was not an know-it-all and knew nothing about it. He would rather return part of the money. Zhong Hou finally nodded, as if he believed in the credibility of Wuyonglou.

He then said goodbye and left Wuyong Building, got on a carriage, and soon stopped deep in an alley.

Another carriage came towards us.

Zhong Hou jumped off the carriage and knelt on one knee respectfully. "Master Feng." He leaned close to the carriage window with thick gauze curtains. "Li Jisheng is determined to go to Western Shu."

A low, hoarse voice came from the carriage, like a blunt knife scraping rust: "What's the reason?"

Zhong Hou added: "Li Jisheng is determined not to tell the reason."

"Chen Yi was very kind to Wu Yong Lou, and they had very close contacts."

The gauze curtain was suddenly lifted half an inch, revealing half of a face wearing a bronze mask.

"If we do the opposite, the real Min Ning must be in the southeast."

…………..
Xiao Yin, like Da Yin, has no way to deal with Miss Donggong. The difference is that Da Yin acts secretly and often suffers backlash, while Xiao Yin is always hurt unintentionally. Chen Yi can more or less see it.

Dong Gong Ruoshu had no intention of harming others, but as long as he had good luck, any malicious intentions would be difficult to succeed, so Chen Yi didn't care about it and was happy. Besides, the little fox looked quite nice when he looked aggrieved.

Chen Yi sometimes thought in revenge, how about letting Yin Tingxue suffer every day like in the past?
The thought flashed through his mind, but was then diluted by the little fox's unconditional obedience. During this period of time, the two of them had been very close.

Chen Yi sometimes felt that it was not impossible for him and the little fox to walk this path together for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately,
Open the window and look into the distance, the dragon and tiger are near.

From dozens of miles away, one can only look up and see the sunlight shining on the peak of Mount Longhu emerging from the sea of ​​clouds. In the landscape paintings sold in bookstores in the streets and alleys, the 72 palaces are arranged in sequence according to the mountain terrain. There seems to be the sound of pine waves and golden chimes coming from afar. The shopkeeper boasts loudly that the landscape paintings have been blessed, and if you smell them carefully, you can smell the lingering fragrance of elixir.

With only a short distance left, Chu Yiyuan and his group had to say goodbye to Chen Yi. The events in Wuchang were still fresh in his mind. In order to protect his life and status, Chu Yiyuan was extremely reluctant to part with them. However, Chen Yi was determined to leave, and no matter how Chu Yiyuan tried to persuade him to stay, it was of no avail.

"By the way, Mr. Qin, can you tell me why we have to go to Longhu Mountain? Your identity is sensitive, but... you are on our side." Chu Yiyuan couldn't help but ask the question that was in his mind.

During this period of time, although he knew that Chen Yi and others were going to Longhu Mountain, he had no idea about their purpose. He probably guessed that it was someone else's private matter and it was not appropriate to ask. But now that they were about to part, he had to ask.

"The reason... there is no reason, just meeting some old friends." It is impossible for Chen Yi to ask for the sword to be sent to help Longhu Mountain to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Ghost God.

Chu Yiyuan guessed that he had something to hide, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he said, "In that case, Master Qin, when you arrive at Mount Longhu, don't stay any longer after meeting your old friend."

"Why?"

Chu Yiyuan lowered his voice and said very solemnly: "I heard that there is a demon abyss in Longhu Mountain. According to legend, before Longhu Mountain was founded, there was a chaotic time when demons were rampant and disasters spread over thousands of miles. At that time, Zhang Tianshi, the fourth generation of Longhu Mountain, was ordered to come down to the world, carrying the seal, sword, and scriptures back to Poyang and enter Longhu Mountain to eliminate thousands of demons.

Except for a few people who understand human nature and educate them, those who resisted stubbornly were suppressed into the depths of Longhu Mountain along with millions of corpses. This is the Demon Abyss.

The ghost energy is dense enough to freeze water and turn ice all year round. The demons trapped here eat gold and swallow soil for a living, hoping to destroy Longhu day and night, but they can only be slowly refined by time, and even become the medicine for alchemy in Longhu Mountain. Many ghosts, gods and monsters that wreak havoc on Longhu will also be suppressed and refined there. The rumors of the demons in the world... We in the Righteous Sect are all terrified when we hear about it..."

He paused and then said:
"Master Qin is a master of martial arts and courage. He is not an ordinary person. He may have three heads and six arms, but the people in Longhu Mountain are numerous and powerful, and they are all righteous. If Master Qin's identity is discovered, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."

Chu Yiyuan advised Chen Yi earnestly, hoping that Chen Yi would listen and turn back to go together. Chen Yi did listen, but how could he not know what Chu Yiyuan said? Chen Yi had been cautious along the way and had hardly ever passively revealed his true identity. Besides, he was going to leave after giving the sword this time, so why should he be afraid?
Of course, what Chu Yiyuan said made some sense. Given the arrogant nature of the Taoists in Mount Longhu, once their identities were revealed, they would probably directly invite the Heavenly Master to come out and kill them, or even invite the immortals and gods to descend to the earth. Mount Longhu is the ancestral home of Taoism, and it is by no means comparable to the declining Chongyang Temple, a Quanzhen Taoist temple. By then, they would be in great danger and might even die there.

Anyway, I understand.

Chu Yiyuan looked back every few steps, but in the end he didn't wait for Chen Yi to chase out the door. He could only sigh with his confidants. In a few words, they had already started to choose a Feng Shui location. After the group of people left, Chen Yi packed up, even carried the sword box and the coffin, and set off with the two girls to Longhu.

The sun was rising, and the ground was golden. As we got closer to Mount Longhu, we finally saw the hustle and bustle. There were more and more pedestrians on the road, including merchants, cooks, and more martial artists carrying swords and sabers.

Compared with those colorful things, Chen Yi looked particularly plain in his mourning clothes and carrying the coffin, especially with the little fox following him. It made people shake their heads at first sight. What a pair of miserable father and daughter.

When the sun was setting, they arrived at the territory of Longhu Mountain. Chen Yi found an inn to put his things in, and asked the waiter a few more times. It was not much different from what he had heard before, nothing more than the Heroes Association, the White Lotus Sect, the Fox Fairy Hall and so on.

The day was just right, so he decided to go meet Zhou Yitang tomorrow. Chen Yi went to the county town and bought some candied sweet dates. After thinking for a moment, he also grabbed two candied haws.

After returning to the inn, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Did you buy candied haws?" Dong Gong Ruo Shu asked. She could smell the aroma before she even entered the room.

"Yes, one is for the little fox, and there is another one." Chen Yi handed one to Yin Tingxue.

"It's for me."

Miss Donggong opened her mouth happily, but the candied haws turned in front of her, missed her and slid behind Chen Yi.

"Wrong, one is for her."

The words fell.

The smoke was curling, with a slight smell of pine resin.

But it couldn't cover up the unique fishy smell of the fox demon.

A robe with a fox tail attached emerged from the smoke.

The setting sun was dim, and it was almost dusk. A fox fairy suddenly appeared in the room, and a story from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was immediately played out. However, the man was heartless and the woman had no interest in him either. What's more, foxes... just one was enough to serve her.

Donggong Ruoshu widened his eyes, he didn't expect it to be the fox fairy from last night. Yin Tingxue sat quietly aside, not disturbing Chen Yi.

The fox fairy raised her hand to move away from the juicy candied haws in front of her, but Chen Yi took his hand back before her and began to lick it slowly, looking leisurely.

But the door closed silently.

His hand also pressed on the scabbard.

"You are not the Bull Nose of Mount Longhu." The fox fairy said suddenly.

"Of course I'm not, otherwise you wouldn't have followed us halfway," Chen Yi paused and said, "But why did you come to find me?"

"Because you are not the bull nose of Longhu Mountain."

"I also have a close relationship with Longhu Mountain."

"for example?"

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and said, "No analogy."

"The fox borrows the power of the tiger." It was really strange for a fox fairy to use this phrase. Perhaps she herself also found it strange. She simply laughed and said, "I came to you because you can help me."

Chen Yi was a little puzzled. The fox fairy in front of him was able to use the Five Thunders Law of Mount Longhu to perfection. She must have been someone powerful and had an extraordinary background. She might even be Xiao Baixian, the daughter of the fox fairy. Why didn't she ask for help from people from Mount Longhu, but instead asked him for help?

"You and I don't have much friendship, and we even had a fight."

"At least there is no hatred." The fox fairy said immediately: "I have a hatred with Longhu Mountain, you are not the same as them."

"Oh? What's the grudge? Do you want me to take charge?"

"I know you are an official. I can smell it. You are a living city god that is rarely seen in a hundred years." The fox fairy was not impressed by Chen Yi's behavior of revealing everything in exchange for trust. She said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you can help, help. If you can't, forget it."

Although the fox fairy's tone was unkind, Chen Yi didn't care at all. As his martial arts realm improved, his state of mind was different. "Let me hear it first." She raised her hand and pointed at the sword box on Chen Yi's back, saying, "That sword... is the Taisha that Longhu Mountain has been waiting for for a long time, right? No wonder it is so murderous, Longhu Mountain needs it."

Chen Yi was a little surprised that she knew these things, but he remained calm and said, "Yes, this sword is exactly what we need to slay demons and monsters."

"Destroying demons?"

The fox fairy asked back with amusement, her eyes actually showing a coldness.

Her voice was clear and gentle, reaching directly into his heart. Chen Yi clearly felt the old saint in the cauldron tremble slightly.
"What they want to kill... is not some demon,"

"But it's the immortal god!"

………….
Clear spring flows over the rocks, and the sky is dark and quiet.

The small pavilion is built above the waterfall, with the water rushing past, which is particularly fresh and elegant. Looking up, you can see the white waterfall pouring down from your feet, majestic and towering.

In this place with a strong artistic conception, there is a dozing old man sitting in the pavilion, which is also a natural thing.

A robe came with the breeze.

The old Taoist was awakened by the wind, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Any news?"

"Yes, but we failed at the last moment... Fang Wu died, and Fang Ying was also injured."

The Taoist has an upright figure, black hair, a crescent-shaped crown on his head, and an appearance like a banished immortal. His Taoist name is Zhao Hun. He is the eldest disciple of the contemporary Heavenly Master and also the youngest high-level master of this generation.

"May you be blessed with infinite happiness... set up the altar. Alas, as expected, Fang Wuben won't have much time left. I didn't expect that Fang Ying was also injured." The old Taoist sighed deeply.

"It wasn't her who injured Fang Ying, but a Jianghu person who seemed to be trying to obstruct him."

The old Taoist narrowed his eyes.

After a while, he said with a smile: "It's okay, maybe someone who didn't know about it happened to pass by by accident. That being said, we should find it as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Yes, we can't let her continue to deceive people with her lies."

The old Taoist didn't say anything about it. Zhao Hun bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait, has the sword from Yinjian Mountain been delivered?"

"Master Tongxuan said that the sword is not far away, and she will go to pick it up in the next few days."

The old Taoist stroked his beard that was so long that it rested on his feet, and said with a relaxed brow, "That's good, that's good. Good things come in pairs. That fox fairy... should be sent back to the ancestral hall as soon as possible."

…………..
After hearing all the words, Chen Yi's eyes darkened slightly, and his mind was in turmoil.

This fox fairy never stops making shocking statements. She even claimed that she took the sword from Longhu Mountain in order to kill the immortals, and the one she wanted to kill was the immortal from their Longhu Mountain.

It should be noted that most of the Taoists in Longhu Mountain have the surname Zhang, and the position of Heavenly Master has been passed down from Zhang Daoling to Zhang Heng for a thousand years.

Who would actually kill everyone one by one according to the family tree?
That's too filial.

However, many details told by the fox fairy matched one by one, including the fact that the Taisha Sword could devour divinity and destroy the golden body.

After a brief thought, Chen Yi asked, "What you said are all shocking things. There are too many suspicious points. There must be a reason."

"Reason? I can tell you, but I'm afraid you won't live to hear it," the fox fairy said directly, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you. You can help me first, and it won't be too late to regret it later."

Chen Yi frowned slightly.

If he wanted him to believe these shocking words, he would have to give it his all. On normal days, he would have slain the demons and monsters long ago. But he did have many doubts and confusions along the way, and now he was even more skeptical.

The fox fairy looked arrogant, even more arrogant than the Taoist priests he had seen that day. After thinking for a while, Chen Yi asked indirectly:
"Do you know how many disciples Master Tongxuan of Yinjian Mountain has?"

“…Isn’t there only one?” the fox fairy asked back.

Chen Yi understood that her words might be somewhat credible.

As if afraid that Chen Yi was still hesitant, the fox fairy hesitated for a moment, and a corner of yellowed paper slipped out of his sleeve.

Just as Chen Yi was about to take a closer look, the piece of paper was blown into his hand by the wind. It turned out to be a broken imperial decree with the words "代天" painted in cinnabar...
This is the Heavenly Master's Talisman, which can only be granted by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain in all generations.

"Back then they used 300 talismans like this." The fox fairy's words suddenly got stuck in her throat, and the hair behind her ears stood up in the wind. She reached out to grab it but stopped, "Forget it, just smell the scent on the talisman."

Chen Yi held the talisman paper close to his nose. The originally clear sandalwood scent was mixed with a faint fishy sweetness. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the cinnabar was tinged with gold.

He had smelled it many times before; it was the scent of immortal blood.

"This is not the first time for them, but this time, it is more grand and aboveboard than usual." The fox fairy turned his back, his voice very light.

"Knowing these things,"

Chen Yi's eyes flashed, he realized something, and said:
"who are you?"

"Everyone in Longhu Mountain calls me...

Fox Fairy Lady."

…………

Chen Yi froze in place for a moment in astonishment.

I thought it was a young girl, but it turned out to be a married woman.

Yin Tingxue's eyes suddenly widened, but what she was thinking was, Oh no, he seems to like other people's married women very much.

Although it was just a joke at the time, many truths were said as jokes, and the little fox couldn't help but feel worried.

The person who was least surprised was Donggong Ruoshu, because she didn't understand anything, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

Chen Yi was just about to question the Fox Fairy Queen in detail, but at this moment, he suddenly became aware of an unusual sword approaching, and the Fox Fairy Queen's pupils shrank slightly. The moment she sensed the danger, she fled away.

A strong wind suddenly blew, and Chen Yi's clothes fluttered. When she turned back and leaned towards the window, she saw a lotus crown slowly coming towards her. Her every move was so clear that she seemed isolated from the world.

When he saw her again, Chen Yi was silent for a moment. Every time they met again after separation, he never knew what to say to her.

It's like I have countless inappropriate words to say, but I can't think of a suitable one to start with.

Perhaps it was some kind of telepathy, she raised her eyes and glanced towards where Chen Yi was.

It's coming in a blink of an eye.

After a long silence.

"You came."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"I'm already here."

"You're here after all."

"I'm here after all."

There was silence for a long time. The two of them were like clay sculptures or wooden carvings, facing each other, and the setting sun was getting lower and lower.

After an unknown amount of time, the one-armed woman said expressionlessly, "Gu Long's words are funny?"

The man blinked his eyes and said in an innocent manner, imitating Donggong Ruoshu: "Why should I play if it's not fun?"

"boring."

"You also said that infatuation is boring."

"I didn't say I wasn't bored."

"That's unfortunate. I'm bored too."

In just a few words, Chen Yi's laughter eased all the depression. He had too many inappropriate words to say, and he always needed a suitable word to start, but he couldn't find one, so she spoke first.

Donggong Ruoshu watched from the side and felt sweet.

Yin Tingxue felt inexplicably bitter.

The tip of the iceberg. She has always known that Chen Yi has a different world. But even if she has clairaudience and can hear everything in his heart, she can only touch the tip of the iceberg... However, this may be her second favorite. Anyway, she only wants him to be her second favorite and does not need to see the whole picture of the iceberg.

Compared with the silly girl, the old saint who sensed something strange in the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly felt complicated. She had always felt warmth between Yin Tingxue and Chen Yi, as if they were a perfect match. Now Chen Yi seemed to have fallen in love with someone else, and she didn't know how to feel about it.

Not even as good as Chen Shimei, haha.

…………..
"There's something evil about it."

Zhou Yitang pointed casually and it was the place where the fox fairy had stayed before.

In such a short time, Chen Yi couldn't cast any spell to cover it up, and he was too lazy to hide it, so he pulled out a chair and sat down.

“…Master Zhou, Master Zhou…” After hesitating for a while, Yin Tingxue took the initiative to call out.

Zhou Yitang glanced at her and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Donggong Ruoshu saw this, thought for a moment and called out, "Master Zhou, long time no see."

On the wedding day, the three girls intercepted her and stuffed her under the bed. Although Miss Donggong was a little unhappy about it, she had long forgotten it and didn't care about it.

Zhou Yitang glanced at her, then at the coffin, and finally at Chen Yi's mourning clothes, sneering, "I haven't seen you for just a few days, and now you have a deceased wife."

"It feels like a long time since we last met." Chen Yi was extremely thick-skinned and said in a soft voice, "You don't know how much I miss you."

Yin Tingxue understood that he was thick-skinned when he was with Master Zhou, but thin-skinned when he was with her. Why? Maybe Master Zhou was more arrogant...

As if blessed, Zhou Yitang glanced coldly at Yin Tingxue.

The little fox quickly stood up and said, "I'll give you some tea."

After not seeing each other for many days and spending a lot of time with the little fox, Chen Yi felt familiar and nostalgic when he saw this scene. When they were in the capital, Yin Tingxue let the two of them order her around like this without any complaints, as if she was deliberately leaving space for them who were not close enough.

Not close enough...

Chen Yi thought of this, his eyes slightly lowered, and then he said: "Master, I have been traveling south and have encountered many confusions. The fox fairy I just saw... helped me solve a little bit, but there are still a lot of confusions. When I think about it again, you didn't tell me many things in advance. Do you know these things?"

After he finished speaking, Chen Yi could only stare at her, his eyes gradually deepening.

"Of course I know." She said in a calm voice.

Chen Yi sneered and said slowly: "If you really knew, then why didn't you say it then?" They always had to fight like this and were used to it.

"Okay, it's my fault."

Zhou Yitang didn't refute him.

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and pressed his head to confirm whether he had lost his memory.

It's like flipping through a novel and wondering if you've missed a few chapters.

(End of this chapter)
