My enemies became my companions

Chapter 584: Who is Repairing the Sky? (Two in One)

Entering Longhu Mountain again, the sky and scenery were beautiful, the mountains were towering and close to the clouds, and hundreds of steps were right at their feet. Chen Yi led the two girls and one soul and slowly climbed up the stairs.

Chen Yi looked at the scenery of Longhu Mountain. When he went up Longhu Mountain before, he felt like he was deep in a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, not knowing where traps might be found. But now, it was like seeing the blue sky after the clouds had parted. His mood was no longer as relaxed as before.

The big sun hanging high in the sky pulled away the long shadow, and a circle of golden halo spread around him.

Rows of dragon and tiger Taoist priests and heroes were right behind them, led by the old Heavenly Master, who was about six or seven feet away from them.

The look they gave that man was still filled with deep confusion and fear.

When Chen Yi glanced sideways under the scorching sun, everyone subconsciously became nervous and turned their heads away at the same time, not looking at him.

The once-in-a-century Heroes' Gathering has finally begun. It will surely become a legend that will be passed down for thousands of years. Regardless of anything else, the anecdotes that arise from it can all be printed in booklets and sold all over the country on carts, making generations of younger generations fascinated by it. Heroes from all corners of the world weigh good and evil like dragons and tigers, and who is the proud one? However, in a twist of fate, a notorious demon shows up at the Heroes' Gathering, and weighs out merits that are enough to make the celestial officials kneel down and break the golden scales.

It must be said that historians are unfortunate but poets are fortunate.

In such a big world, there is no one who can compare to this heroic figure who is always righteous and capable. Regardless of the true situation, all kinds of rumors have spread quietly.

The old Taoist priest held up his sleeves and looked at the tall figure, and sighed deeply. A disciple came over through the gap between the people and said in a low voice:

"Master, there are a lot of rumors. Some people say that his surname appears to be Chen, but his real surname is Zhang..."

The old Taoist stared at him and asked, "How can I have such a son?"

The Taoist remained silent.

The old Taoist priest said helplessly after a while: "It's too short of life."

It is true that Chen Yi was aggressive, and the aggressive response of Longhu Mountain was obvious to all. In the game between the two strong men, there was no need to fight to the death. Whoever bows first would lose, not to mention that weighing merits and virtues was their requirement. In the end, even the Heavenly Official could not get up from his knees. Longhu Mountain was slapped in the face, and the much-anticipated Heroes' Meeting ended up with such a result. Now there is yellow mud dripping from his crotch, which is either shit or shit.

Even the rumor that Chen Yi's real surname is Zhang is all a shady deal of Mount Longhu, and is just an attempt to save the reputation of Mount Longhu.

"Master, the rumors are spreading around now, which is not right..." The disciple paused and asked, "How about you let me acknowledge him as your father?"

"You are really smart, come on, come on, you become the Heavenly Master, and I will recognize you as my father."

After the old Taoist priest gave a secret rebuke, he sighed deeply.

"It's time to clarify. It's not Longhu Mountain that issued the warrant for his arrest. We are guilty of deceiving but not wrongly accusing someone. Longhu Mountain also has 2,000 years of reputation, which is enough to make a big thing a small thing. Go ahead."

The disciple nodded and shrank back into the crowd. He was Zhang Dongjing, the youngest disciple of the old Heavenly Master Zhang Qilong, and also the best among the contemporary disciples. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the successor to the master or the successor.

Zhao Hu followed the old Taoist priest closely, and his gaze moved back to Chen Yi after Dong Jing left. He looked deeply at Chen Yi, who was walking with his dignified steps, and a trace of resentment flashed across his calm face.

Zhang Qilong is a contemporary Heavenly Master, so he has to be cautious about rumors. At most, they will describe him as an old man who is confused. However, if he does so, the rumors will inevitably be directed at him, the Heavenly Master's first disciple.

Zhao Hun recalled everything that happened before and pondered over clues, but he still couldn't find out where Chen Yi had done anything. Could it be that this man had really repaired the sky for Nuwa thousands of years ago?
At the end of the mountain road, the Taoist temples of Longhu Mountain come into view. The mountains are dark blue, the water is beautiful, and the scenery and objects are harmoniously integrated. A tall white marble archway stands in front of you, with the words "Dragon and Tiger are the most unique in the world" inscribed on it. In the distance, there are mountains upon mountains, and in the near distance, there are magnificent cliffs and rocks, and the water is clear and blue.

I didn't take a close look when I went up the mountain before, but now Chen Yi feels how magnificent it is.

The clouds are approaching Penglai, and the elixir is completed with dragons and tigers lying down.

Even Yin Tingxue who was standing by was fascinated by the sight. In comparison, Yinjian Mountain seemed so shabby, and Cangwu Peak was even more shabby. After comparing the two in his mind, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help feeling a little indignant.

Under the archway, a little Taoist boy was sweeping the floor and scattering flowers to welcome people, reciting scriptures of blessing. A guard dog was leisurely strolling by the pillar of the archway, wagging its tail in the sunshine.

Chen Yi, feeling mentally unbalanced, quickly stepped forward and kicked the guard dog twice.

"Hey, you! Why did you kick my Longhu Mountain dog?" The little Taoist boy was stunned for a moment and asked loudly.

"Nothing else, I just don't like it."

“…How rude of you, layman!” These words made the little Taoist boy so angry that he almost smoked.

Chen Yi hesitated whether to slap the other person twice to avoid showing favoritism.

Yin Tingxue, who had caught up, tugged at his collar, gave the little Taoist boy an apologetic look, and then lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Chen Yi looked at the majestic memorial archway, "Longhu Mountain is so domineering and overbearing. If I don't take advantage of the villain's power to have some fun, how can I have another chance? Don't you think so, little fox?"

Yin Tingxue didn't know what his twisted logic was, so she could only shake her head and said, "Don't teach me bad things."

This little fox has become bold and doesn't even want to listen to his words. Chen Yi curled his lips and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. He turned around and saw the figure that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar coming slowly between the roads where palaces overlapped.

She seemed to have expected his arrival and remained calm.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and strode forward.

…………

The mossy path under your feet meanders and extends inward, leading to an old pine tree, where a bamboo pavilion appears in front of you.

Compared with the previous majestic place, this place is particularly quiet. Turning your head, you can see the towering green rocks in the distance, and the stream flows around the rocks, flowing through the green bamboo pavilion from far to near.

Zhou Yitang has always liked quietness, but it was so quiet that it was creepy.

Chen Yiyuan was worried that there might be an ambush on the road, so he stayed close to Yin and Yin Xiao all the way, which put him some distance away from Zhou Yitang. But he thought he was worrying too much.

A cool breeze blew by, and the raised tentacles of the moss trembled slightly, as if crying on the green side of a woman's face. Cloud shadows floated across a large area of ​​shadow, and the bamboo pavilion was squeezed out into a deep black color.

There was nothing much inside or outside the pavilion, only tables and chairs, tea sets, and classics.
There is also a chessboard in the middle.

"Oh, that's quite stylish."

Chen Yi laughed, making the surroundings seem less quiet.

The one-armed woman did not respond, but sat down at the table silently, and then returned to silence like a pebble falling into water.

Chen Yi sat opposite her naturally, patted the little fox and asked her to order tea.

Yin Weiying sat next to Chen Yi as expected. Before he could even get comfortable, the one-armed woman who had remained silent all the time suddenly said, "You go order some tea too."

The female crown suddenly felt unhappy.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhou Yitang had been ordering her around like this and didn't take her seriously. However, since she was in Donggong Ruoshu's body, she might not know about this. She might have mistakenly thought that she was Chen Yixin's lover.

Thinking of this, Yin Weiying did not take her disrespect to heart. Since the first lady could order the second and third ladies around, it was only right for the third lady to order the newcomer around.

Yin Weiying got up and went to stay with Xiao Yin. Donggong Ruoshu was confused about the situation, scratched his head, and went with them. They all went outside the pavilion, and only Chen Yi and Zhou Yitang were inside the pavilion.

Chen Yi's thoughts were changing for no reason. When he went up the mountain, he was naturally in high spirits and with a rosy face, like a victorious rooster. But when he stayed in this deep and quiet place, even if he had thousands of words to say, he didn't know where to start.

With mixed thoughts in his mind, he picked up a black dot and played with it for a long time. After a while, he said:

"You know I'll be going up the hill."

"I can't stop you."

"No one can stop me."

Hearing her tone, Chen Yi sneered and dropped a piece with a "pop".
"Zhou Yitang, what on earth are you playing?"

Seeing him land the Tianyuan move, Zhou Yitang frowned slightly, then twisted the piece and said, "It's not a trick."

The stream was rushing, but she remained so calm. Chen Yi was used to seeing this look of the one-armed woman. He used to feel happy just by looking at her quietly, but now when he saw her again, he wanted to crush her, with words or with his body. He was filled with hatred in an instant.

However, Chen Yi stopped thinking and said softly: "Master, there is no need to play tricks with me. I have almost guessed what you want to do."

After saying that, he made another move.

Zhou Yitang played against him, his voice came slowly,

"You have always been satisfied with the elder sister, whether in her previous life or in this life. Even though her progress is often slow, water dripping wears away a stone and a rope saws through wood. Most of the things in cultivation are just such slow and steady work. In time, she will definitely live up to your reputation.

But even so, you still forced her to be like you, forgetting everything else. She is your successor, but you acted too hastily and were too critical to the point of being nitpicking. Rather than wanting her to inherit your legacy, you wanted to create another Zhou Yitang."

Chen Yi had long been aware of Zhou Yitang's harsh criticism of Lu Ying. He originally thought that it was because of his memories from his past life that he was able to avoid taking detours in this life, but now it seems that this is not entirely the case.

The sword realm of forgetting both the self and the world has a great influence on people's temperament, but other than that, it has no harmful effects. Chen Yi tried to save the situation. At that time, he just wanted the senior sister to embark on the new path she had explored and live a carefree life like in the past. Because of this, although he and Zhou Yitong had differences, they were not fatal. The so-called discord was just a lot of noise but little rain. In fact, Chen Yi had hesitated about his own behavior.

Now it seems that Lu Ying's change is just the tip of the iceberg of the whole plan. Chen Yi stared at Zhou Yitang and said word by word:

"If you weren't right in front of me, I would have suspected that you were going to take over Lu Ying's body."

Zhou Yitang narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "If I want to take over someone else's body, I will take over your body first, so that I can fulfill my long-cherished wish."

Chen Yi immediately showed a panic-stricken look. The one-armed woman saw this and suddenly wanted to tap with her fingers. As soon as she raised her hand, she turned away the twister.

The elder and younger Yin were ordering tea elsewhere. Yin Tingxue glanced at Zhuting from time to time, fearing that the two would draw their swords against each other without saying a word. If that happened, she would have to be prepared to sacrifice herself to the Northern Dynasty.

Fortunately, it's not too awkward right now.

"Well, it's a long-cherished wish..." Chen Yi pondered over this unintentional remark.

Zhou Yitang would not speak without a purpose, and she almost never tells lies, otherwise she would not hide things or keep silent about the truth. At most, she would just tailor the truth to mislead people.

Recalling her previous actions, Chen Yi caught a clue and asked coldly, "Zhou Yitang, have you been arranging your funeral all this time?"

The two of them had already made several moves while they were talking. Looking at the unpredictable chess moves on the board, Zhou Yitang frowned slightly, but did not deny it and said, "The ancients had already determined their fate during their lifetime."

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Yi's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously said: "How can immortality have an afterlife? Don't tell me you can't ascend. If you can't fly, I can. Just be a good chicken and dog and I will take you to fly."

The one-armed woman was not angry at all, her expression remained the same. Chen Yi was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that she was not interested in this, but was determined to die...
Her plans for her so-called funeral were all left to others, but she had never planned her own funeral. It was as if she was afraid of being forgotten and was determined to die. She moved forward courageously and finally died like a light going out.

Why did she have such a thought... Chen Yi's hand pressed down on the stone table, sinking several inches. He didn't even need to ask, and said word by word: "You have to mend the sky for me."

The voice was like a sudden burst of fire from heaven, uncontrollable anger.

Zhou Yitang remained unmoved, dropped the chess piece onto the board, and said calmly, "It's your turn."

Seeing her like this, Chen Yi wanted to smash the chessboard to pieces, but this place was unusually quiet. A sense of coolness penetrated into his heart with the sound of flowing water and calmed his anger.

She deliberately chose this place to meet him, and every table, chair, blade of grass and tree was carefully arranged.

Knowing her painstaking efforts, Chen Yi sneered, calmed down, pinched the black piece and placed it heavily, saying: "Do you think I will agree? So you talk to me here? Isn't it funny, Zhou Yitang, it's not your turn to die."

There was some teasing in his tone, which was not so harsh once you got used to it. The one-armed woman took her time to make her move and said, "I don't have to ask you to agree."

"…You meet me here to prepare for a showdown?"

"good."

Zhou Yitang has always acted in a suspicious way. Even if she never said it, the accumulated clues over time will eventually reveal the secret, and she has been prepared for it.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and didn't get anxious with her. Instead of completely breaking up with her, it would be better to have a good talk. He moved the chess piece.

"Zhou Yitang, you're arranging your funeral so early, aren't you afraid that I'll do something wrong? Or do you think you can control me?
Even though I have never been able to expose you, it is still too early for the sky to crack. I may be able to mend the sky alive, or I may not be able to find another person or another way to mend the sky. It is likely that all you do will be in vain. "

"Is it too early? Do you remember when the world should be in chaos?"

"It should have been two or three years later." Chen Yi frowned slightly, and then he said, "You mean the Heavenly Gate will crack ahead of time."

Zhou Yitang did not deny it.

Chen Yi made a move casually and said in a cold voice: "No matter what, don't even think about mending the sky for me. You are missing a hand and your body is damaged."

"Everything is accomplished but still missing."

"You are not missing, you are really missing!"

After these powerful words were spoken, Chen Yi ignored the chess game, supported himself on the table and stood up, as if to put an end to the conversation.

She still sat there, pondering in silence.

They understood each other's personalities, and both were stubborn. Having said that, there was nothing more to say. Everything that needed to be said had been said, and there was no need to add anything more.

But just when Chen Yi was about to turn around and leave, she, who had always been calm, suddenly spoke again.
"Do you remember who you mended the sky for in your previous life?"

Chen Yi subconsciously wanted to respond, but a long-lost memory flooded into his mind. When he turned around in surprise, he happened to see a tear on her cheek.

Her voice trembled.
"It's me."
