My enemies became my companions

Chapter 553: Fighting against the enemy (Three in One)

There was no unusual phenomenon that night and he slept very soundly. However, he had a very unreasonable dream in the middle of the night. Yin Weiying suddenly jumped out and scolded him, "You go to see other women instead of coming to see me." She burst into tears, but he pulled her over without thinking and subdued the White Tiger. After a while, she dared not cry anymore. Only then did he explain to her in a kind way... It was so absurd that Chen Yi couldn't help scratching his head. Has he been missing Ying too much recently?
However, I have been respecting myself recently, and how can I be so relaxed and lazy now that I am in this strange place like the Kingdom of God?
Thinking about it this way, it must be Yin Weiying's fault.

His thoughts were still confused, Chen Yi raised his hand unconsciously, but he couldn't use any strength. Turning around, he found himself in a deep chasm, with a soft and elastic rhythm on both sides.

She actually slept hugging her arms last night...

Chen Yi subconsciously mistook her for Yin Weiying in his dream and kissed her forehead gently. When he looked at their lips carefully, he realized that he had confused them.

Small misunderstanding.

Chen Yi sighed. He was not ashamed, but he was not that close to Miss Donggong after all. Moreover, there was an unknown existence hidden inside her body. He could not continue to take advantage of her. He slowly pulled his hand back. As an experienced person, he just pretended that nothing had happened.

Having said that, she and I are not close enough, not like a couple.

They had pretended to be a couple before in order to gain the trust of this unknown being and to look for clues. However, now that they had entered this kingdom of God, and the fairies were so eager to be a couple, they had to continue pretending. Perhaps in retrospect they would find that it was a mistake, but no one could say for sure. Even if it was, they would just go with the flow.

This involves risks and passivity, but it is the least passive method before figuring out the situation and finding Donggong Ruoshu, Yin Tingxue, and Tai Shajian.

Not long after Chen Yi woke up, Donggong Ruoshu also woke up. He was slightly depressed, then smiled gently and said, "You're awake?"

Donggong Ruoshu gathered her quilt and straightened up. She looked a little uncomfortable. She rubbed her eyes and said "hmm".

"Are you hungry? I brought out some food."

"Not hungry." She shook her head.

Chen Yi paused for a moment and suddenly felt that she was a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly called him.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Chen Yi."

"Huh?" He turned around.

"Sleep with me for a while..." Donggong Ruoshu looked sleepy and mumbled.

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, then heard another sentence: "Would you like to sleep with me for a while?"

There was a hint of pleading in his voice. After thinking about it, Chen Yi wondered whether he was worried about the unknown existence in there or he was determined to sell his body.

He lay back on the bed, and Donggong Ruoshu hugged him tightly, wrapping him up softly. She was dazed and hugged him tightly.

After a nap, Yin Weiying's mind was not very clear. When his thighs were crossed, he felt something poking him and he woke up suddenly.

Really hard...

Yin Weiying opened his eyes suddenly, and after coming to his senses, he saw that he was indulging in sex, and thought for a moment...

Chen Yi was lying there, calculating in his mind, when he suddenly felt a strange stimulation as if he was being pinched running up his spine.

His pupils shrank slightly, his body trembled, Chen Yi hissed, turned his head and stared at Donggong Ruoshu fiercely.

"What's this……"

He was actually addicted to sex, so Yin Weiying pinched him hard to alert this golden boy husband.

Donggong Ruoshu had a look of confusion and ignorance.

Chen Yi was worried about changes, so he didn't show any anger, and tried to be calm and said, "Stick."

"Really?" Yin Weiying pinched it hard again.

Chen Yi pulled hard, sat up, took a deep breath and said, "Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, this place is very strange."

Yin Weiying pretended to be ignorant, feeling relieved in her heart. She didn't know how long she had endured it in his hands, and she had called him "good brother" countless times. Normally, she could do whatever he wanted to her, so what was wrong with her pinching the dragon's head this time?
Oh, the reaction is quite interesting.

Last night, the nun had roughly grasped the clue. The talk about husband and wife was probably that Chen Yi was lying to her. After figuring this out, she could naturally deduce that he was probably pretending to be a couple with her. As for the reason, it might be related to this haunted place.

But if that's the case, then she might as well make good use of it.

Just as I came to this thought, I hadn't figured it out yet, when I suddenly heard Chen Yi say, "Ruo Shu, you and I should be closer now."

Yin Weiying pricked up his ears and asked in confusion: "…How…to be more intimate?"

"We were a little unfamiliar yesterday. They don't know your situation, so they may have unnecessary suspicions. Suspicion brings danger." Chen Yi observed her expression and said slowly, "You have lost your memory. I also want to slowly cultivate it back with you, but now we should be more like a couple."

Yin Weiying suddenly felt awkward and at a loss. He and Chen Yi were more like a couple. Why should he use Donggong Ruoshu's body?

But the weirdness of this ghost place was imminent. If something went wrong, Chen Yi might die. She had no choice but to nod reluctantly.

Yin Weiying pretended to whisper, "I understand." Chen Yi smiled gently in response, but she pointed a finger seriously, "By the way, before I regain my memory, don't lie to me, such as lying about my body or something. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed."

She looked timid, as if someone was poking her heart gently. Chen Yi had never felt that Dong Gong Ruoshu was so charming. He paused for a moment before agreeing.

"it is good."

After Chen Yi turned and left, Yin Weiying put aside her confused look and raised her nose slightly.

They have been together for a long time. Chen Yi was touched just now. It was the best time to talk. Xiao Yin often whispered to him at this time. Yin Weiying saw it in the past. Now, it was easy to do. Isn't it just pretending to be innocent and pitiful? Xiao Yin can do it, so why can't she? It's just that she disdains these trivial tricks.

Now that the truth is known and the warning has been given, it is time to curb Chen Yi's feelings. Then again, is there really no true love between him and Dong Gong?
Yin Weiying couldn't help but become suspicious. Although he felt that way physically, he wasn't entirely sure in his heart. If there wasn't true love in his heart, with his personality, how could he observe mourning for someone else?

He has always been soft-hearted and would not tolerate tough treatment. Yin Weiying couldn't imagine what he would be like.

Women always dislike philandering men, and Yin Weiying is no exception. However, it is not advisable to act too hastily; one should take things step by step. This is what is often said as letting nature take its course, and one should wait until things have come naturally before taking action.

In short, test it first, and when the time is right, cut off the emotional ties with wisdom...

Yin Weiying clapped her hands and made up her mind. Before she stood up, she reached into the quilt and felt around again.
"Tsk... the hair grows so neatly."

The female priest looked disgusted. If she was really Donggong Rushu, she would be ashamed of herself...

However, he still had to be careful. Aren't he and Concubine Dong quite happy? Thinking of this, Yin Weiying became alert again.

To be on the safe side, Yin Weiying secretly made hand gestures, but it was as if she was seeing clouds and mist, and she could not see anything clearly. The divination did not produce any result. She thought that perhaps the Demon Abyss blocked the divination, so she used Donggong Ruoshu to do divination.

Ninety-two, see the dragon in the field, and see the lord.

The hexagram is certainly a good omen, but it is different from ordinary auspicious omens. The so-called benefit of meeting a great person, such as "Shun was tilling the fields and was seen by Yao", often means meeting a noble person and getting an opportunity. Yin Weiying could not help but ponder, who is the great person referred to by the hexagram?

On second thought, being in this weird place, meeting the so-called "adults" might not even be a good thing.

"Are you up?" Chen Yi's voice came from outside the room.

"I'm here." Yin Weiying stood up and tidied his appearance.

After a while, Donggong Ruoshu came out slowly and sat down at the table with great caution. Chen Yi was a little disappointed to see that she didn't suddenly attack and kill people, so he silently put down the long knife on his thigh.

On the table was not the wine and food served by Fairy Caixia, but the food prepared by Chen Yi, including broken naan, smoked meat with fat and lean texture, and some pickles. People who traveled around the world usually eat these, or even worse. Yin Weiying was disgusted with it, but still pretended to be ignorant and put it into his mouth carefully.

Chen Yi's face was gentle, but he was secretly on guard. The real Donggong Ruoshu and Yin Tingxue were nowhere to be found, and this and the soft and beautiful scene of the Kingdom of God revealed a different kind of weirdness. The unknown existence occupying the immortal body in front of him also had no idea where it came from, and he was now imprisoned, but had to experience many weird things personally bit by bit.

Enemy from both sides.

Chen Yi sighed secretly and calculated with his fingers. The result was the same as before. The hexagram was vague and he could not calculate anything.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

Chen Yi stood up and pushed the door open, and saw Fairy Caixia. The latter looked into the room and saw Donggong Ruoshu eating a small meal, and smiled directly:
"You didn't eat our food."

Chen Yi responded calmly: "Yeah."

"Why? You are afraid it's poisonous, right? It's not! But you won't believe me when I say this." Fairy Caixia spoke very directly, which surprised Chen Yi.

"Are you surprised?"

"Some." Chen Yi paused for a moment and asked, "You... can tell? I find that you all seem to be able to see into people's hearts."

Since she spoke directly, he might as well ask more directly. Covering up the truth would only make people think that there was something fishy going on.

Fairy Caixia was not angry after hearing what he said, but said, "Have you ever heard a story? There was a man from Chu on the roadside. He cried all day long, saying, 'I am in so much pain!' When his friend saw him, he asked him, 'What are you suffering from?' The man from Chu did not answer. The next day, he cried on the roadside again, 'I am in so much pain!' When his friend saw him, he asked him the same question again, but he did not answer. The third time, it was the same question and answer.

The fourth time, the man from Chu was still crying. His friend saw him and asked him again. He got angry and said, "You asked me three times in three days, but you didn't ask about my pain. What kind of friendship is this? I am ashamed to have a friend like you!" Then he drew his sword and committed suicide. The friend felt guilty and died of depression soon after. This story was told to me by the Holy Emperor.

Chen Yi recalled: "I haven't heard of it."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. People don't want others to know what they're thinking, but they also don't want others to really not know it, so it's good to have a vague idea, and we can see a vague idea." Fairy Caixia paused and said, "Hehe, people here are like this, we can tell what people are thinking. People have a spirit, and you can tell their joy and anger at a glance. People have a voice, and you can tell their sorrow and joy at a glance."

Chen Yi was thoughtful.

Fairy Caixia didn't wait for him to continue speaking. She looked at Donggong Ruoshu and said, "After she finishes eating, you can come to the archway. The Holy Emperor wants to summon you. It's been a long time since we've seen a couple here."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. Yin Weiying raised his head when he heard this, his eyes somewhat clear.

She thought to herself, they are not husband and wife.

With her as the eldest lady around, how could Donggong possibly have anything going on with Chen Yicheng?

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

Walking among these houses, the scenery along the way was still extremely beautiful, and it revealed an unusual tranquility and nature, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and water rushing. In a blink of an eye, Chen Yi and the others arrived under the archway.

Chen Yi looked along the way, memorizing every bit of the scenery here in his mind. A bit of white appeared in his vision, and he saw a white tower in the distance.

The White Tower stands opposite the White Jade Pavilion at the end of the plain, which is the residence of the so-called Holy Son of Heaven.

When I arrived at the archway, I saw no one else.

Chen Yi waited patiently, his eyes falling on another distant place. He saw some dark shadows moving on the border of the vast wilderness. It was still difficult to see clearly even if he looked far away. He frowned slightly.

What will it be?
They didn't have to wait long before they heard a sudden breeze behind them. They turned around and saw Fairy Caixia and the other fairies around her coming towards them.

There were many familiar faces here that I had seen yesterday, as well as new faces, but they all looked solemn. Fairy Caixia came up to them after landing and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to see the Holy Emperor today."

"why?"

"There!" Fairy Caixia pointed to the place in the distance where Chen Yi had been looking. She said, "A madman is coming!"

Chen Yi's eyes lit up.

White Lotus Sect.

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

Everywhere I looked, I saw dark and gray colors.

"It's going to rain. Have you found a place?"

Venerable Chi looked at the sky and asked slowly. The saints around him were about to shake their heads, but Huang Duren noticed something and shouted,
"That!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a village located at the foot of the mountain in the distance. In the gray haze, the earthen tiles and gray bricks were mixed together, making it difficult to see clearly.

There was a whistling sound of wind behind them, mixed with tiny raindrops hitting people's faces. When everyone looked, they saw that although the outline was hazy, it was a dark mass with uneven colors, as if there was a sudden gap, which made people subconsciously feel scared.

"Is this place...really the Homeland of Vacuum?" a member of the White Lotus Sect asked in a trembling voice.

"Shut up and don't talk too much." Zi Cihang scolded.

The surrounding believers fell silent immediately. They were dressed differently, not as neatly as when they first entered the valley, and their faces were also in a state of desolation. When they first entered the Demon Refining Abyss, they were suddenly attacked for unknown reasons and then besieged. Many brothers were killed or injured. The fact that they could gather together again in the Demon Refining Abyss was enough to show how elite they were.

Fortunately, the four saints did not die in the encirclement and suppression, but only suffered some new injuries, which were still enough to accomplish the purpose of the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect slowly approached the village in the distance, and their steps became slower and slower.

"Do you really want to go over there?" Qing Lianzi asked with a frown.

They seemed to have entered a world different from the previous Demon Refining Abyss. The gaps between the tree shadows were densely stacked, and it was pitch black with no stars or moon in sight. It was like an airtight cloth covering their heads. The further they walked, the more they could hear their own rapid heartbeats.

Even if the White Lotus Sect members stayed in the headquarters for a long time, they could not stand such eerie silence.

Venerable Chi said: "If we don't go there, how can we find our homeland?"

As he spoke, he took out a map from his arms. It was the map of the Demon Refining Abyss, which he had never missed along the way. It helped them avoid countless dangers along the way, and every place where evil demons were sealed had been marked.

Venerable Chi used the dim light of the torches to identify the location and warned, "Be careful, there are too many evil spirits in this village, and the yin energy is too heavy, breeding countless evil spirits. Don't touch anything and disturb them."

Hearing this, several White Lotus Sect members looked at the map in his hand and saw that there were more than a dozen villages marked with red crosses on the map.

Seeing that people were not united, Zi Cihang said, “After passing here, we will reach Zhenkong’s hometown.”

After hearing this, the confused hearts of the people slowly calmed down a little. When the hometown of Zhenkong was mentioned, the faces of the White Lotus people became more expectant, and the group continued on their way.

At some point, the rain started to fall.

When the mountain rain came down, the whole village was soaked in blue-gray, desolate and dilapidated.

Muddy water flowed down with gravel, making the stone road at the entrance of the village bumpy and white. Most of the earth wall collapsed, leaving only a few crooked beams supporting it, like a skinned skeleton. The door panel of a tiled house was hanging obliquely on the frame, and a rusty hatchet was embedded in the crack.

I saw an old tree on the road. Its charred trunk was twisted like a ghost's claw. Now only a few broken branches with faded cloth strips were left, fluttering in the rain like a soul-calling flag.

Finally reaching the entrance of the village, everyone looked up at the scenery deeper inside, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

Coffins were piled up on the village roads. The broken and muddy streets were hit by the drizzle. Wild grass was crawling under the coffins, and their outlines were blurred in the dim light, like elongated hands and feet.

Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet. The White Lotus Sect members could only hear each other's breathing, and could not tell whether the water on their hands was rain or cold sweat.

Many houses collapsed. They found a relatively spacious place and looked up. It was an ancestral hall. They squeezed in one by one, rested temporarily and waited for the rain to stop.

Venerable Chi held up an oil lamp and lowered his head to examine the map in the corner.

Qing Lianzi looked hesitant, and carefully approached Chi Zunzun and asked, "Where is the Baiyang Tower that leads to Zhenkong's hometown?"

"According to the map, it should be to the east of the village, but we can't see it..." Reverend Chi raised his head and looked into the distance, but all he saw was endless darkness. "We need to explore slowly. If there are enough people, we will find it sooner or later."

Qing Lianzi swept around.

Are there really enough people?

After being attacked and dispersed, they only gathered together about twenty people, barely one in ten survived. Even though they were all elite, they could only sacrifice their lives to explore this strange place.

Lord Chi knew his worries and sighed, "At this point, is there any way out? If the plan had not been leaked, we would have been forced to do it."

In the darkness of the night, Qing Lianzi asked in secret: "Speaking of which... who leaked the plan?"

The Red Reverend's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, that person has not been exposed yet, and may not be here, but I have an inference."

"Tell me...God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know."

The Red Reverend whispered, "He's probably not from our side. He doesn't know the full picture of our plan."

"Who could it be? Lifeng Pavilion, or..." The answer is obvious.

"...Chen Yi, it can only be him. I've noticed something's wrong with him. He's very skilled in martial arts, and he might even know Taoism." Venerable Chi paused and said slowly, "I'm afraid he's been following us all the way, and I don't know where he's spying on us!"

Chen Yi: "..."

He stood next to Chi Zun and Qing Lianzi, listening to their conspiracy and speculation.

Besides the anxious White Lotus members, there were many other people standing in the room.

Fairy Caixia, Fairy Wangyou, Fairy Qingyi, and so on... were all crowded in this room, walking around, pointing and talking around, watching the White Lotus Sect members.

However, these White Lotus members cannot see it.

Chen Yi discovered that they seemed to be in a different world from him. He could see them, but they couldn't see him. Moreover, when they walked in, they looked panicked and couldn't hide their fear. It seemed that this place was very eerie and strange in their eyes.

Chen Yi had no intention of exploring which side was real. He was just thinking about the reason behind it, and then he thought of the dirty tricks in the statue.

I think it was because of the rosary.

Chen Yi silently thought about how to make use of it.

At this time, Fairy Caixia slowly came over and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I said I would take you to see the Holy Emperor, but it seems I can only delay it for a while."

"fine."

"These lunatics broke in, so we have to drive them out first before we can take you to see the Holy Emperor. Otherwise, it would be bad if they offended the Holy Emperor."

Chen Yi followed up the conversation and asked, "How do you rush?"

The words haven't finished yet.

"It's moving! The throne is moving!"

Suddenly, a member of the White Lotus Sect shouted loudly.

Everyone in the room was startled and looked over there. Then, there was an eerie silence.

The throne moved back an inch, revealing half of a pale face that stared grimly at everyone in the room.
