My enemies became my companions

Chapter 574 Not a Couple (Two in One)

The Holy Emperor pointed to a well. The mouth of the well was moist with dew and wisps of dreamy air overflowed from the edge. The stupid girl felt dizzy just by looking at it.

This is the dream that the Holy Emperor talked about.

The stupid girl had a big meal not long ago. She was grateful for the food she received and was grateful for the favor she received. Since she was rewarded with delicious food, and the other party entrusted her with an important task, how could she refuse?

Even if only a soul is left, I will go through fire and water without hesitation.

"There is no need for Miss Donggong to go through fire and water." Seeing the stupid girl rolling up her non-existent sleeves, even a refined man like the Holy Emperor could not help but smile.

The stupid girl scratched her head, chuckled, and said, "So... it's really not dangerous?"

"I guarantee I won't fight you, but this is just a mission to find someone. You've been in my Heavenly Palace for quite a while. The remaining spirits inside know the aura of the Heavenly Palace and won't cause you any trouble."

The Holy Son of Heaven gazed into the depths of the well with compassion.

"Prince Yin, if you can find it, go find it. If you can't find it, go to the depths of the illusion. That is where everything is supported and the source of the illusion."

"The source of the dream?"

The Holy Emperor nodded. Seeing that the stupid girl didn't understand, he reminded her, "Miss Donggong, do you still remember the "Tai Yi Sheng Shui" that I taught you before?"

"of course."

The silly girl answered very quickly. She had a good memory and would not forget anything she didn't want to forget. She immediately repeated it.
"Tai Yi gave birth to water, and water in turn assisted Tai Yi, thus forming the sky. The sky in turn assisted Tai Yi, thus forming the earth. The sky and the earth assisted each other, thus forming gods... and so on, the source..."

Then, she realized something and turned around to meet the calm face of the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor said softly: "You have guessed it. The so-called source of illusions is the water born from Taiyi, which is the root of all gods. You mortals call the Yellow River the mother river, and the water of Taiyi can also be regarded as our mother river.

Who wouldn’t have a sweet dream while being in their mother’s arms?
I told you before,
Taiyi is always in constant motion and change, sometimes turning into the sky, sometimes turning into the earth, and the first thing it changed into was water, so Taiyi gave birth to water, then to the sky and the earth, and then to us gods. "

Having said that before, Donggong Ruoshu still listened carefully this time, just to listen a few more times so that he could understand it.

“After it changes, it separates from the things it changes. For example, when it changes into the sky, it separates from the sky; when it changes into the earth, it separates from the earth. You can understand it as… a gecko cutting off its tail.

The tail and the gecko were originally one and the same, but the tail didn't want to stay on the gecko anymore, so it broke off and left the gecko. The gecko's new tail, although still usable, had lost its bones and could no longer be wielded as easily as before.

But this metaphor is a little different..."

Dong Gong Ruoshu thought for a while and suddenly realized, "The difference is that the gecko was born from the tail, just like Taiyi gave birth to water?"

"That's exactly the truth," the Holy Emperor said in an appreciative tone, and then said, "After the Taiyi's 'tail' gave birth to the gecko, it changed again, giving birth to new life and a new world. To this day, it is still changing."

"So now, what has Taiyi transformed into?"

Naturally, Donggong Ruoshu raised her doubts. She always liked to leave the problems that she couldn't figure out to others, because she couldn't figure it out anyway.

"Now... I haven't been away from here for too long, so I don't know how to answer you if you ask me, but,"

The Holy Emperor paused.
"More than a decade ago, it transformed into a girl named Yin."

For some reason, Donggong Ruoshu only thought of one person.

"Yin is Ying." said the Holy Emperor.

The stupid girl was startled, then looked up.

"Wait, Miss Yin, how can Miss Yin be Taiyi?"

"You don't know that Taiyi doesn't know that he is Taiyi. If he knew, he would stick to it and not want to change." The Holy Emperor sighed, "Even if the world is vast and people are as small as mustard seeds, just ask yourself, who is willing to stop being himself and become someone else?"

"So, that means she doesn't know she's Taichi?"

.........

Chen Yi nearly died here, but now he seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness, and his soul and spirit were gradually returning. He held Yin Weiying's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time.

Every moment of separation is like a long-lasting emptiness, which needs to be filled by each other, and only each other can fill it...

Taiyi thought to herself as she looked at Chen Yi's shining eyes, not knowing why she could see it so clearly.

Maybe it was because she read too many romance novels on weekdays, and the stories in the novels kept replaying in her mind, which led to many unreasonable guesses. But, were they really unreasonable? Taiyi sighed softly, and she couldn't tell.

All I know is that the eyes they looked at each other were very burning.

Instead, she was left aside... She thought quietly that it was right for her to be left aside, because they were the real couple, and she... no, Yin Weiying was the first lady.

Yin Weiying helped Chen Yi up, turned around, and smiled at her tenderly. Taiyi quickly came to her senses, stood up and said, "Great, Miss Yin, you're here."

"You're welcome. I'm always here." Yin Weiying said softly. In front of outsiders, the nun was always so indifferent.

Taiyi knew it in her heart. She had always known Yin Weiying very well. She didn't know why...

Chen Yi pressed his forehead and seemed to be more awake. He looked at the nun beside him with a look of surprise and affection. He murmured, "Emperor Luan..."

Yin Weiying just smiled at him, without saying much, and his manners were just right. In the practice of Taihua Mountain, Jintong was only the attendant and assistant of Yunu, so the latter was always superior to the former, neither looking down on Jintong nor taking him too seriously. Taiyi had something in mind, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was true to say so... But was Chen Yi a little aggrieved?

She didn't know why, but she didn't want to see Chen Yi being wronged.
Is this love... maybe a little... it's hazy and she is too ignorant to tell for sure. When Taiyi saw Yin Weiying staying beside Chen Yi, she suddenly felt that thinking about it further would only add to her troubles.

Since I can't say for sure, I won't think about it anymore. I should focus on the important things.

Business... What business? Right... The Goddess of Wushan...

Looking up, you can see waterside pavilions, towers with flying tiles, and the beautiful scenery spread out on the mountain path, like a fairyland, which makes people admire it.

"What a beautiful mountain."

Taiyi kept asking:

"Is the Goddess of Wushan in there?"

Yin Weiying supported Chen Yi and walked forward without stopping. When she heard the words, she turned her head and smiled.

She said meaningfully:

"Who knows, maybe...it's really up there."

.........

As the fairy air lingered, the stone steps went straight up from the foot of the mountain. The white jade-like steps were inlaid with patterns. The long-burning lights along the way puffed out smoke, and the surrounding trees were surrounded by layers of silk.

The scenery along the way was pleasant, with beautiful fairy lights everywhere. In the distance, a plum forest with withered flowers hanging on it was faintly visible. It was truly the residence of the gods. When Taiyi saw this scene, he sighed in his heart.

It is not surprising that the goddess of Wushan lives here. Just as the phoenix will only roost on the Wutong tree, such a goddess will only live alone here.

Taiyi was enjoying the scenery along the way, and he wanted to be more alert, but he couldn't be alert at all under the beautiful scenery.

Glancing to the side, the nun and Chen Yi walked side by side, what a pair of immortal lovers, every step they took exuded a different kind of immortality, free and ethereal. The more she watched, the more she felt jealous, and a little... weird in her heart.

Obviously, she and Chen Yi are also married... How could this be? Wait... Are they really married? His every move did not seem like he treated her as his real wife.

At this time, Chen Yi turned his head, and Taiyi quickly moved away, not daring to meet his gaze, and faced the magnificent fairy palace.

Chen Yi frowned. This was the third time that Donggong Ruoshu looked at him. Was there something evil about him?
He shrugged his shoulders. If there was any evil spirit, it was probably the old saint hiding in the cauldron. There was no one else around her.

The mountain path under my feet is crooked and covered with moss, and most of the steps are missing corners. I look up along the mountain path.

Everywhere you look, you can see ruins and broken walls.

The palace at the top was old, with broken doors and windows, cracked walls, and it looked like it had been abandoned for who knows how long. It was also crowded and gloomy, with no one visiting for a long time. Whose dream was this, so... dilapidated.

Or is it that no one is dreaming? Is this the scene at the deepest part of the tower?
Chen Yi couldn't help but wonder whether the so-called Goddess of Wushan was really there. Now he couldn't even see her shadow. But as they walked along, he always had a vague feeling of being on edge, as if someone was watching him.

However, excluding the old saint, there were only him and Donggong Ruoshu here...

Taiyi walked in front, quickened his pace, and suppressed his eyes from glancing behind him.

However, he and Yin Weiying were a perfect match, and I seemed like... an extra third person...

She could only shift her gaze and look up.

The fairy palace remains.

The scenes seen by the two people were very different, almost completely opposite.

.........

As he walked, Chen Yi couldn't help but slow down his pace.

The surroundings were brighter than before, as if there were invisible fireflies shining. The broken palace in the distance seemed to be higher. When I took a vague look, the scene of the fairy palace with pavilions, towers, carved railings and painted buildings flashed by, but in the blink of an eye, the ruins were still ruins.

Chen Yi calmed his mind and looked with his divine eyes, but there was no change.

Was he too nervous? How could he see this as a fairy palace?

For some reason, he thought of a word: split personality.

I don't know what came to my mind, it suddenly occurred to me. It's funny to say, but no matter how I use this word, it doesn't apply to me.

Finally arriving in front of the ruined palace, Chen Yi took a deep breath and slowly began to look for clues. Donggong Ruoshu followed him obediently just like before.

What I see before my eyes are all ordinary scenes, there is nothing noteworthy. The dilapidated places are still dilapidated. It's not that there are no noteworthy things at all, but many things have lost their vitality and are no different from ordinary objects.

After an unknown amount of time, he still found nothing. Chen Yi looked around and couldn't help but feel that this place was too normal, so normal... just like an ordinary ruin.

But this kind of place shouldn't be so normal.

Where is the source, and where is the Goddess of Wushan hiding?
Taiyi watched Yin Weiying comfort the increasingly irritated Chen Yi. She was so beautiful, and her aura was unparalleled. Compared to her, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.

She looked down and found that except for her bigger breasts, she was no match for him in any way. But bigger breasts were not necessarily more attractive.

Along the way, Chen Yi's mind was not on this fairy palace, but on Yin Weiying. As for her...she seemed like a transparent person.

Fortunately, the eldest lady was considerate and asked Chen Yi to come over to comfort her and look at her.

But deep down, I still feel... so bitter.

Taiyi didn't want to dwell on it any longer, and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a group of maids coming out from behind the screen. Some were plump and some were thin, and they were dressed in silk skirts. They emerged into the fairy palace, swirled to Chen Yi, and led the two of them deeper into the fairy palace.

Before Taiyi could react to what was happening, he quickly quickened his pace to catch up.

Along the way, we passed countless beautiful scenery and arrived at the top from a winding path. There was a mirror-like lake at the top of the mountain.

"That's Mirror Lake. You can see who a person loves the most." A maid said with a sweet smile.

Taiyi became curious when he heard this, and didn't know whether it was true or not. But when Yin Weiying asked again, the maids all laughed and said it was true.

She still didn't quite believe it, so she wanted to try it out again, so she carefully put her face into the clear lake water.

What was reflected... was Chen Yi's face, shimmering with light. This moment was very quiet, and it explained her feelings better than any other moment.

Taiyi was stunned for a long time. At this time, Chen Yi also walked forward and leaned his face towards the lake.

Yin Weiying's beautiful appearance was reflected on the clear lake surface.

This should have been expected and was taken for granted. The sparse algae swayed the ripples of the lake, rippling that face over and over again, as if rippling into Taiyi's heart.

It turned out that she was not the one he loved the most.

But I don't know why,
She suddenly felt like crying, as if she had been expecting something, but she didn't know where the expectation came from.

…………

Chen Yi didn't know how long he had been searching, but he still couldn't find many noteworthy clues.

Even if you explore the way to the top of the mountain and look at the clear lake, you will get a similar result.

It was just very vague, as if he had seen it wrongly. Chen Yi didn't know if his imagination was too good, the broken outlines between the palaces actually outlined the scene of the fairy palace in his eyes.

If I'm not mistaken,

Whose dream is it?
"Old man, you didn't find anything?" Chen Yi asked in a low voice.

"If I can't find it, I will follow you to explore. Logically, it shouldn't be like this, unless..." The old saint's tone was very uncertain, afraid of leading people astray, "I dare not say anything nonsense..."

"If you have something to say, just say it. How I judge is my business."

"Well... unless the Goddess of Wushan... is not in a dream at all, but is awake the whole time." The old saint spoke slowly, "As the saying goes, things follow their owners. Since the ancient zither can change into the appearance of someone else, the Goddess of Wushan should be able to do the same."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

If this is true, it would be a very difficult problem that could not be more difficult.

He couldn't find the figure of the Goddess of Wushan from beginning to end, so how could he know what she had transformed into.

Before I could finish my thoughts, the tail of my clothes was pulled.

It's the East Palace that is neglected.

Chen Yi turned around and was about to speak with a smile, but she reacted first.

"Actually..." She paused and asked tentatively, "We are not husband and wife, right?"

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Did he miss something, or was this unknown being too perceptive? His face was gentle, and he laughed out loud, "What are you thinking about? How come they are not husband and wife?"

"Definitely not." Her tone was particularly firm, "You...you looked into my eyes...there was no love in them."

Love?

Chen Yi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this word would come out of her mouth.

"No means no. It's true that you care about me, but it's just care. It can't be said to be liking or loving me." She continued: "...Don't lie to me. I'm very smart."

Sensitive... something about this Donggong girl's body... is there a special kind of sensitivity?

However, now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide it any longer.

And I still can't find any clues, maybe...

Chen Yi's expression slowly calmed down, and after a moment's silence, he said, "You and I are indeed not husband and wife, but we are also good friends."

Her face was confused, but it turned visibly pale. Realizing that she had been deceived, her thin lips gradually lost color. After a long time, she managed to utter the words,

"Ah."

There is a lot of heartache in this gentle response.
