My enemies became my companions

Chapter 138 Bodhisattva Sword

The night was as dark as ink, covering the entire capital area. The curfew in the city had made it almost completely dark, but it was not the same outside the city.

Min Ning was riding a horse and saw a luxurious inn in the distance. It was only half a mile away from the mountain gate of Hehuan Sect, but the inn was brightly lit and crowded with people.

Qiu Gang was in the front. When he was about thirty feet away from the Wuyong Inn, he said:

"dismount."

The Jinyiwei looked at each other in bewilderment, but still did as they were told. Min Ning immediately dismounted and subconsciously placed his hand on the Embroidered Spring Sword, ready to draw it out of its sheath at any time.

Min Ning looked up at the inn sign - Wuyong Inn, and immediately realized that Wuyong Inn was now the property of Wuyonglou. Its predecessor was already well-known in the Gyeonggi area, and was later acquired by Wuyonglou. As it was close to the mountain gate of Hehuan Sect, countless martial arts masters had stayed in the inn.

The Hehuan Sect is a small second-rate sect, but its fame is certainly not due to its martial arts. Everyone knows that the Hehuan Sect once engaged in the flesh trade, donating its bones and flesh to the best masters in the world of Dayu.
In Dayu, the reason why the Hehuan Sect, which was almost an evil sect, had not been eliminated was, firstly, because the government was worried that after the elimination, it would attract criticism from the Central Plains martial arts world; secondly, because the Hehuan Sect had always been law-abiding since it became powerful, and the farms under its command not only managed the country well, but also paid a lot of taxes to the national treasury.

However, it seems that it was not the Central Plains martial arts world that destroyed the Hehuan Sect. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Master Tang Feng of Yinjian Mountain is definitely not the mastermind behind the destruction of the Hehuan Sect.

Qiu Gang led the team in front, followed closely by Min Ning and other Jinyiwei. They were all experts in Jinyiwei, with kung fu above eighth rank. A group of people came to the outside of Wuyong Inn. Min Ning took a look and saw that the inside was decorated with intricate decorations and beautiful screens. The huge Wuyong Inn had all the tables and chairs filled with people.

Monks from the Western Regions, mountain warriors, young couples, masters of the Beggar Gang, people from Yinjian Mountain... People from all corners of the world gathered in Wuyong Inn. It can be said that there is everything. There is no shortage of people toasting each other and calling each other brothers in Wuyong Inn, but the atmosphere is still cold and depressing.

Min Ning took a breath and was shocked to find that her abilities were not good enough in the Wuyong Inn where so many masters gathered.

Qiu Gang glanced inside the Wuyong Inn and led everyone in.

After sitting down, Min Ning made some inquiries and realized that these people from the martial arts world came here to visit the Wuye Inn for different reasons, but they were all from the Hehuan Sect after all. There were only three things that could bring together people from all corners of the world - martial arts competitions, martial arts secrets, and magical weapons.

It is said that the Hehuan Sect, relying on its vague connection with the Western Regions, accidentally found the robes of the "Bodhisattva Sword" Master Wuxiang, who is as famous as the world's number one true celestial being.

In the past, there was a period of twenty years in the martial arts world when two people were number one in the north and south respectively. Zen Master Bodhisattva Sword Wuxiang was the pinnacle of martial arts who stood shoulder to shoulder with the true celestial being Xu Qi in the north.

In the past twenty years, the two men only fought once, at the top of Zhenwu Mountain. No one knows the specific result. All we know is that the head of Zhenwu Mountain who personally presided over the battle once said: Both of them were half a step away from reaching the summit.

Unfortunately, ten years ago, Zen Master Wuxiang suddenly disappeared from the world and his whereabouts are unknown. Countless masters in the world have been searching for him, and there are many different opinions. The most credible one is that he has gone to Mount Lingshan in Tianzhu and became a disciple of the Buddha.

"I heard that the robe contains the Infinite Formless Power, which is the famous skill of the Bodhisattva Sword."

"That's right, otherwise why would the Hehuan Sect be exterminated?"

"Bodhisattva Jian Zhen and Xu Qi are both number one in the world. Xu Qi once defeated the Sword Demon Wu Buyue in Dangyang Lake!"

"You young man really don't understand the scene of the martial arts world at that time, so let me tell you something: one heavenly man and one bodhisattva, the north and the south are divided in half, one broken sword and one without a sword, the east and the west are not one. The latter two refer to the Broken Swordsman and the Sword Armor of Yinjian Mountain, you should have heard of them, and the first two are the True Heavenly Man and the Bodhisattva Sword."

"The Fengyu Pavilion has offered a huge reward, a full two thousand taels of gold, just for this robe. Fengyu Pavilion is really calculating."

Although the Wuyong Inn was bustling with activity, Min Ning always felt that something was hanging over the heads of these aggressive and murderous gangsters, causing everyone to be afraid to move.

She looked around and soon got her answer.

A woman in Taoist robes and with a long sword on her waist slowly walked out from the second floor of Wuyong Inn. On her head was a偃月冠 from Yinjian Mountain. She was none other than Tang Kumei, who was notorious for annihilating the Hehuan Sect.

The slow appearance of just one person shocked all the warriors in the Wuyong Inn, causing them to become a little hesitant.

This woman, who is of the same generation as Jianjia and although not as talented as the former, was still able to establish a sect in Yinjian Mountain, no one dared to underestimate her even though she had been expelled from the mountain gate.

Outside the Wuyong Inn, there was a man dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, carrying a long sword and a long knife, walking in the night.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Tang Kumei, and no one noticed the visitor.

Fortunately, the waiter was alert. He saw the man and rushed to greet him, apologizing, "Sir, the restaurant is full, full, and there is no room left."

The visitor simply showed the token to the waiter.

The waiter saw it and immediately said:

"So it's you, sir. I reserved a room for you. I reserved a room a long time ago."

The Wuyong Inn, which was full just now, now had an empty room. Sitting closer to the counter, Min Ning turned his head curiously, then widened his eyes.

He had his face covered and was wearing a bamboo hat, but Min Ning recognized his figure, and even more so the sword at his waist.

Chen Yi stepped into the Wuyong Inn and glanced at everyone in the inn. Then, when he saw Min Ning, he stopped for a moment and quickly moved over.

Min Ning also turned her head, not daring to look any further. She understood that he was dressed like this because he didn't want to reveal his identity unless necessary.

There was one more person in the Wuyong Inn, and the attention of the warriors on the field was slightly diverted from Tang Kumei and fell on Chen Yi.

As soon as Chen Yi entered the door, he felt gazes coming from all directions. Some of them were so fierce that it seemed as if he had killed someone's eighteen generations of ancestors. It seemed that the saying "to destroy a person's wealth is to kill his parents" was indeed true.

After asking around for a long time, he came to this inn because there was a true disciple of the Hehuan Sect hiding there.

I just didn't expect that Zhigesi would show up here with Jinyiwei, and Min Ning was among them. It was quite a coincidence, and
As Chen Yi continued to scan, he unexpectedly discovered that the senior sister Lu Ying, whom he had not met yet, was also here. She was sitting at a table near the second floor. Next to her, in addition to a master of unknown depth, there was also a man who was pretty but a little thin.

Chen Yi always felt that this man looked somewhat familiar, but it didn't quite match his memory.

There were quite a few people sitting in the inn. Chen Yi looked around and saw an empty seat, so he sat down casually. When he raised his eyes, he found that there was a monk on his left and a member of the Beggar Gang on his right.

This monk came from the Western Regions. He had a high nose and deep eyes, and wore a red bowl, which was the same color as the monk's robes that Sakyamuni wore when he preached the Dharma in the legend. As for the fact that this monk could wear such clothes, it goes without saying that he had great Buddhist and martial arts skills.

The Beggar Gang master beside him was wearing tattered clothes and looked like an old beggar. He was swallowing a chicken leg. When he saw Chen Yi looking at him, he didn't care and didn't even glance at him.

He seemed to not take Chen Yi seriously.

"Master Tang Feng, I wonder how long you will continue to protect that true disciple?"

Among the people in the inn, a martial artist stood up and asked loudly.

"I am not protecting that true disciple, but the common people in this inn."

On the second floor, Tang Kumei replied calmly,
"All the masters came uninvited and surrounded this inn, just for this true disciple. Then what should the innkeeper, servants, and guests do?"

After these words were spoken, many people secretly criticized his womanly kindness for staying in the inn for the safety of these ordinary people.

"Master Tang, don't you have a grudge against that person from the Hehuan Sect? Why don't you teach him to us?"

A martial artist carrying a stick on his back shouted.

"Although I have an old grudge against the Hehuan Sect, now that I have wiped out the sect with my own hands, the old grudge has been settled. Now that it is settled, my mind is clear. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, I will no longer hunt them down. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

Tang Kumei responded indifferently.

Qiu Gang, who had been in the room for a while, stood up and clasped his hands together and said:
"Master Tang is indeed a cultivator. However, the matter of the Hehuan Sect happened in the capital of Dayu, so it must be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Family. Now, as the Secretary of the Zhige Division, I must take it away for investigation. I hope Master Tang will cooperate and hand it over to me, and we will return to the capital together."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Gang turned around and said to everyone:
"And you, the righteous men, might as well give Qiu Gang some face. Even if you don't give me some face, you should still consider the reputation of the Zhige Division."
