My enemies became my companions

Chapter 600: Then I will betray my teacher and destroy my ancestors (Three chapters in one)

This woman suddenly appeared in the dried-up lake of his heart. She was exactly the face that Chen Yi had been thinking about day and night.

However, Chen Yi got goosebumps and a chill went straight to his lungs.

She has two hands.

Even though their faces were exactly the same, their body contours were completely different. Ever since Chen Yi met Zhou Yitang, she had only one arm. Now that "Zhou Yitang" had two hands, it gave him a feeling of disharmony and discomfort.

Very eerie.

"Master, what are you calling me for?" Chen Yi stood up with his sword, stared at her, and sneered, "Are you asking for a title?"

She closed her eyes and remained silent. This sudden silence was exactly the same as Zhou Yitang. In the past, on Cangwu Peak, Zhou Yitang was just like this. He gave people an invisible oppression without anger, which made people's scalps numb and they confessed everything. At that time, he had not yet become a traitor, so naturally he confessed everything.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and asked directly, "Are you her inner demon?"

She looked calm, without any surprise, and said, "Not bad."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi raised his sword. The scattered sword energy gathered again, standing densely and thinly, ready to strike with murderous intent, and there would be a scene of dragons and snakes rising from the land.

Zhou Yitang, who had two hands, did not react much, but said calmly: "I am the inner demon, and I am also the master of this place. You can't get rid of me."

The restless sword energy was still on the verge of breaking out. Chen Yi frowned tightly. The inner demon in front of him could communicate and had no hostility. Should we say that it was worthy of being Zhou Yitong's inner demon? It was simply extraordinary.

"Put it down first." she said.

The tone was exactly the same as Zhou Yitang's. Chen Yi hesitated again and again, dispersed the sword energy, and stared at the inner demon with suspicion.

"I know you are confused."

She turned around and continued:
"You come with me."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, not knowing what her purpose was. However, since this inner demon could manipulate these obsessions, it would be best not to become an enemy of it for the time being. If possible, maybe he could get her to help and try to eliminate the obsession.

As he traveled along the way, the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar scenery of Cangwu Peak came into view. Chen Yi looked around while organizing his words and sorting out his thoughts.

He looked at this inner demon from time to time, and his words and actions were exactly the same as Zhou Yitang's. Otherwise, when Chen Yi first heard the voice, he would not have mistaken it for a secret message.

The only difference is that she has two hands... Chen Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart. If he thought about it, if Zhou Yitong should be called the one-armed woman, then this one should be called... the two-armed woman?
"I don't know what to call you?" After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi asked.

Zhou Yitang has only one master and his wife in two lives. He really doesn't want to call the woman in front of him by this name. After all, although he is lustful and has collected all the beauties in his arms and has a large harem, he is not the kind of person who can pass through a sea of ​​flowers without getting hurt. He is very affectionate to every woman, and his love is pure and unique.

"Tongxuan."

Fortunately, she seemed to guess what Chen Yi was thinking and did not make things difficult for him.

Tongxuan is Zhou Yitong's Taoist name. She made her name match her Taoist name, and no one knows what the mystery is.

The road to Cangwu Peak is not very winding. After walking through it, you will arrive at a small building. That is where Zhou Yitong usually practices meditation. It faces north and south on a gentle slope. Looking out from the window there, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery at the foot of the mountain. Chen Yi has always known that peonies are planted in that direction.

Tongxuan took Chen Yi upstairs. The stairs could be heard creaking. There was only one cushion in the room. Chen Yi brushed off the dust and sat on the floor, and Tongxuan naturally sat opposite them.

There was a chessboard between the two of them, just like when they met at Longhu Mountain.

Tongxuan only took a glance, and Chen Yi understood the meaning. He picked up the chess piece and casually dropped it towards Tianyuan. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Since you are the inner demon, when were you born? When I broke my sword?"

Zhou Yitang is a person who is extremely proud of kendo and obsessed with swords, so the sword armor belongs to her.

In the past, he had asked Zhou Yitang whether, since he had broken through the barriers of both Taoist and martial arts cultivation, he would one day inherit her legacy and become a swordsman, but she shook her head in denial.

"why?"

"Your heart is not in the sword."

"What about you? Is Master's heart on the sword?"

“Only.”

Just a few words cut off Chen Yi's many thoughts. The Living Sword was so important to her. Her three corpses had been beheaded. She was obsessed with the sword and heartless towards people.

I still remember that I felt a little lost at that time. I wonder if the seed of breaking the sword was planted at that time. In fact, there was a better way in his previous life, but he did not choose it.

After breaking the sword, she was his.

The chess pieces he placed on the board were totally incompatible. Tong Xuan shook his head slightly and suddenly said, "No."

Chen Yi was startled and opened his eyes. The guilt in his heart disappeared. He looked at Tong Xuan in astonishment and murmured, "Could it be... when I was repairing the sky?"

Tongxuan still shook his head and said, "No."

Chen Yi couldn't help but frown in confusion, but after thinking about it carefully, this was reasonable. She had already killed the three corpses, and although there were thousands of obsessions lingering in her mind, she had no desires or requests, so she shouldn't have any inner demons.

But since the inner demon has been brewing, there must be a reason.

But...it's not the time to break the sword, nor is it the time to repair the sky, so when is it?

He made several moves while frowning.

Just when Chen Yi was puzzled, she dropped the chess piece with a "pop" and said, "It's this life."

Chen Yi suddenly came back to his senses and asked in astonishment, "Before killing the three corpses?"

He made a random move and she nodded slightly.

Tong Xuan continued to make moves, looking straight ahead as he said, “In this life, she was reborn in the sword tomb when one of her arms was cut off by Wu Buyu. When Wu Buyu’s sword fell, the three corpses were cut off. No matter how many obsessions she had, they could not become inner demons. However…”

Chen Yi figured out the reason in an instant, and continued: "However... in the instant before Wu Buyu's sword fell, in that tiny moment, the inner demon, that is, you, was born from the obsession."

Tongxuan affirmed: "When people are born, they are born with worries. Worry leads to obsession, and obsession leads to demons."

Chen Yi instantly flew into the sky like a cloud.

No matter in the previous life or this life, he always saw her who killed the three corpses, so he never thought that before she killed the three corpses, she was also worried like himself. What else can I ask for?
Legend has it that when an immortal looks at a grain of rice, he can see mountains in the rice and people in the mountains. In other words, a grain of rice is an infinite world. Hence, there is a saying that "people are the mountains in the rice, and immortals are the people on the mountains." Ordinary people like Chen Yi are naturally the mountains in the rice.

She is from the mountain.

When a person stands too high, he needs to be looked up to, but when you look up to a person, you can only see one side of her. Therefore, Chen Yi never thought that her inner demon was born before she killed the three corpses.

"She knows you well enough, but you don't know her well enough, so you can't think of it."

He said hoarsely: "So that's how it is..."

Tongxuan raised the corners of her lips slightly and nodded. At this moment, she revealed a gentleness that made Chen Yi uncomfortable, yet she seemed like a real teacher.

"so you"

"I was born out of her deepest obsession..."

Tongxuan looked straight ahead at the chessboard.

"A teacher's job is to teach, impart knowledge, and resolve doubts."

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the last piece fell, and she said, "I won."

He came to his senses and lowered his head, and found that the five white pieces had been connected together at some point, and he was silent for a moment.

"What else do you have to say this time?" she asked slowly.

After a while, Chen Yi smiled suddenly, and in this chess game that should have been over, he placed another piece. The black piece chased after it and stuck to it.
"Sorry, Master. This time, I am playing Go."

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

There was a violent thunder and lightning in the sky, and a sudden change occurred.

The words "Maitreya will be born now" were like an imperial decree. The thunder in the rushing clouds and mist slowly turned from blue and white to blood red, tearing up the strong wind and huge waves, which was daunting.

This strange phenomenon not only occurred in the heaven and earth, but also in the Blind Arrow itself, which suddenly changed.

He raised his face to face the cold rain, and suddenly an inhuman, warm yellow-white luster appeared under his skin. This luster did not come from the sky or the reflection of rain, but oozed faintly from deep in his flesh and blood, as if he was a huge human skin lampshade with white light burning inside.

The edge of his hand, which should have been bloody and mangled after the sword was broken, was now solidifying and hardening at a speed visible to the naked eye. The new skin was a kind of snow-white wax, without any blood or pain. The raindrops fell on it, no longer splashing, but sliding down silently, as if it was no longer a flesh and blood body, but a white wax figure being quickly sculpted.

He was originally a beggar and always had been a beggar, with tattered clothes and dirty body. However, at this moment, he seemed to be shedding his skin, his tattered clothes turned into gorgeous clothes, and his dirty skin turned into spotless glass.

Like a god.

Zhou Yitang narrowed his eyes.
No, it is the heavenly being in the Buddhist scriptures.

The White Lotus Sect is good at controlling ghosts and gods, and the technique they are best at is inviting gods to possess them. With the chanting of the scriptures just now, it was undoubtedly an attempt to invite gods.

Just as the Great Sima Ming was about to enter Donggong Ruoshu's body, he would transform her body bit by bit into an immortal body.

The mortal body of Blind Arrow was also transformed into a celestial being.

"Which god are you inviting?" Zhou Yitang pinched his fingertips, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed and turned into horror.

Innocent old mother!

In the distance, the blind arrow has white hair and a youthful face, wearing heavenly clothes and necklaces.
Compared with its previous appearance, how strange is this change?
What was even more bizarre was the aura that emanated from his body. The sharpness and solemnity that originally belonged to a warrior instantly faded away, replaced by an indescribable sense of emptiness and stickiness. It was not a strong sense of oppression, but a kind of unsettling "emptiness", as if his body was being quickly filled and transformed by some kind of illusory force, and the connection with this world was being forcibly cut off and distorted.

The top ten in the world in this sixty years are all first-grade without exception. The martial arts they have realized are not only in line with the Way of Heaven, but are also enough to resonate with heaven and earth. Whether they can achieve the resonance between heaven and man is also the most critical bottleneck in achieving the first-grade level.

Being between heaven and earth, we can draw strength from them, but we will also be limited by them.

However, at this moment, Blind Arrow seemed to have transcended this world, like a person from outer space.

The one-armed woman would not just stand aside and wait for the celestial being to make a move. Suddenly, something in her hand appeared, and dense raindrops moved along with the sword.

The sword energy entered the rain, and she pointed the sword towards the sky, as if a sword fairy in the sky was tearing apart the pearl curtain, and thousands and thousands of sword energy green beads poured down with the heavy rain.

Everywhere the eyes could see was rain curtains and sword curtains. The scene was so magnificent, but Blind Arrow remained calm. He stood still despite the sword rain. The raindrops fell to the ground, penetrated the stone steps and penetrated nearly ten feet into the soil. The power was evident. However, when they repeatedly fell on Blind Arrow's body, no blood was seen. Instead, they slid down like ordinary rain.

This is no longer as simple as the physique of a martial artist who has been trained to the extreme. This celestial body is not a thing of this world and is not affected. Naturally, it will not be hurt by the sword energy.

Even if you have thousands of swords, what does it have to do with me?

Blind Arrow slowly lowered his head, and his once blind eyes had completely lost any vitality that belonged to a living thing, leaving only two bottomless, solidified pure white.

His movements became stiff yet smooth, and with inhuman precision, he nocked the arrow once again.

The one-armed woman rose again as if she were missing her sword.

The scattered sword energy and green beads gradually gathered together. There were as many sword energy and green beads as there were torrential rain at this moment, almost endless.

As Ruoque raised his sword, the rain stopped for a moment.
Drop by drop it flows upwards as if flowing backwards.

Previously, due to the fight between two of the top ten masters in the world, almost half of the mountainside had been razed to the ground. At this moment, looking from the sky, it looked like a chessboard with 19 vertical and horizontal lines.

The sword energy is like a chess piece.

Blind Arrow was still drawing the bow, and the bow seemed fuller than the full moon. As the bowstring became tighter, an extremely faint but bone-deep strange fragrance filled the air, like stale temple incense ash mixed with some sweet and greasy smell.

The strange power that distorted vitality and originated from the Mother of No Birth had spread like a substance. The surrounding grass and trees that were wet by the rain withered at a speed visible to the naked eye after being exposed to his escaping breath.

The bowstring was pulled silently, and this time, the arrow on the string itself also underwent a terrifying change. On the pitch-black arrow shaft, fine, living-like lines appeared, and the arrowhead was steaming in the rain with wisps of gray-white smoke that was almost invisible to the naked eye and had a strange fragrance.

The arrow has not been fired, but it is about to go off.

Zhou Yitang felt as if his throat was pierced, as if the arrow would hit him instantly and kill him with one strike.

The sword energy and green beads in the air gathered more and more, becoming more solid and condensed, forming circles of circular walls.

Zhou Yitang raised his sword and made a move.

Within a radius of ten to dozens of feet from the blinding arrow, there appeared circles of towering sword-blade cliffs, and endless sword energy and green beads surrounded them, as if completely isolating this celestial being from the world.

She wrote:
"seal up."

…………

"seal up."

Chen Yi dropped a piece with a "pop", surrounding the white piece whose attack was becoming increasingly fierce.

In Go terminology, the so-called "sealing" means blocking the opponent's chess pieces from moving out, virtually blocking the enemy pieces from direct contact with them, and curbing the opponent's offensive.

Tongxuan's moves on the chessboard had become increasingly unstoppable, and he had unknowingly fallen into a disadvantage and had to block the chess pieces to delay time.

Tongxuan shook his head and chuckled, then he grabbed the white piece and dropped it into the gap in Chen Yi's chess path. This jump instantly broke through Chen Yi's blockade.

Chen Yi frowned, looking at the increasingly irreversible chess situation, and remained silent for a while.

"If you want to play Go, then we'll play Go. If you want to play Gobang, then we'll play Gobang." Tongxuan said in a light voice, "I'll play with you either way."

Chen Yi did not respond, but asked: "Does she know you exist?"

"She vaguely knew of my existence, but she just didn't want to face me." Tong Xuan responded calmly, "She once had a way to get rid of me, but I was born from her deepest obsession. If she got rid of me, she would no longer have this obsession. Her three corpses have been slain, and she has no desires or emotions, only obsession."

"…Your obsession with being my master?"

"Yes, that's why she didn't want to do it, and now she can't do it."

Chen Yi took a breath when he heard this.

He had always known that she had always been an extremely stubborn person, but even so, Zhou Yitong's stubbornness still shocked him.

Chen Yi knew what it felt like to kill three corpses. Zhou Yitong had killed two of his corpses. He had never pursued fame and fortune. Even though he was notorious, he didn't feel the slightest bit about it. Her situation was even worse.

I still remember hearing the little fox say that before he and she met again, she had seen the girl first. At that time, the lake was full of withered lotus flowers that were out of season. She came in a small boat, and the two girls were talking about the same man in the boat.
The little fox didn't know why she was so entangled. The one-armed woman asked about the ancient Tang Dynasty's "Ge Sheng" while crushing the lotus in her hand. The petals fell into the water, stirring up ripples in the girl's heart, but not hers. How could there be ripples in this heart that couldn't be more dry and quiet? Sitting here, Chen Yi looked out the window in the small building and suddenly saw a cenotaph hidden under the kudzu vines that covered the mountains. That was his tomb.

Chen Yi knew what the girl didn't understand. The kudzu vines that had survived the cold spring weather would still be densely entangled even though they had already died.

A person who has killed the three corpses will no longer have any desires, and will be free from all emotions. Only obsessions will remain in his heart. It is precisely because of these unresolved obsessions that Zhou Yitang came to find him, to see him, to accept him as his disciple, and to become husband and wife.

There is such a woman in the world, and this woman is my wife...

Chen Yi's chest tightened and he couldn't stop laughing, but his laugh was helpless and bitter.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and slowly asked, "If that's the case, then how can I get rid of this demon in your heart?"

At the end of his words, he drew out the Hou Kang sword, his murderous intent revealed.
Her deepest obsession is to be his master, pass on his legacy, and be a strict teacher and a good student.
If it is okay to betray your teacher and ancestors,

That would be dishonoring one's teacher and ancestors.

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

The sword blades were surrounded by cliffs, and the sword energy was like continuous mountains.

The blind arrow was within a radius of several dozen feet, and sword energy rose and fell one after another, like insurmountable mountains, trapping him inside.

His spotless face, like that of a god, radiated a solemn and majestic aura that was even more mysterious and brilliant than those in portraits of immortals and Buddhas.

He took a step forward, his feet floating in the air, and then he casually released the extremely taut bowstring.

The arrow left the bow.

Far away from the worries and filth of the world, the arrow seems to be alive, flying peacefully and happily.

It flies like this because it is not an arrow from this world, but comes from its homeland of vacuum and is now going back.

Crossing the dense rain curtains, crossing the sword energy of the mountains, crossing the dark sky, heading towards the home of Zhenkong, where there is absolute peace and beauty, endless flowers and treasures.

The one-armed woman seemed unaware of the arrow, or even unable to notice it. She stopped where she was, and only raised her sword when the arrow reached her.

But the arrow has already arrived, and it will hit the target with one blow,

At last,
She suddenly disappeared into thin air, as if she had been wiped out from this world by this arrow.
