My enemies became my companions

Chapter 191 Medicine Buddha Pagoda
Avoiding the crowd, everyone gathered in a remote pavilion.

Chen Yi and Yin Weiying separated, and he easily took Yin Tingxue's hand.

The girl let him hold her hand, even though she felt embarrassed being watched by so many people, but she had no choice. If she disobeyed him in such a small matter, she would not be able to say that she had always been a good boy when she disobeyed him in a big matter.

She was always struggling to find the few cards she had.

Chen Yi vaguely sensed the girl's thoughts and held her hand tighter.

"The four statues of the Heavenly Kings have all been collected, so let's take them out now."

The eminent monk from the Western Regions spoke like this.

Chen Yi nodded, took out the two statues of Heavenly Kings from his bag and placed them on the stone table, while Yin Weiying also took out a statue of Heavenly King and pushed it over.

When the eminent monk from the Western Regions was about to push out his statue of the Heavenly King, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and his movements froze.

Chen Yi caught a glimpse of the crazy Buddhist teacher turning around, holding his cane upright, standing on one hand, as if he was chanting Buddhist scriptures, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Chen Yi turned his head suddenly.

A dark Taoist robe flashed to ten steps in front of the pavilion. The middle-aged woman held a sword in one hand and looked quietly into the pavilion.

"Uncle Tang."

Lu Ying waved and shouted.

Tang Kumei just glanced sideways without any further response.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

To be able to open a peak in Yinjian Mountain, one must be at the third level of martial arts. If Tang Kumei takes action, the people in this pavilion will have no choice but to run for their lives.

However, Tang Kumei did not take action, nor did she retreat.

She just glanced at everyone and then her eyes fell directly on Yin Tingxue.

The daughter of King Xiang was a little panicked and shrank behind Chen Yi.

This unintentional little action made Chen Yi realize the girl's dependence.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and stared straight at Tang Kumei.

"Do you really want to enter the pagoda?"

Tang Kumei asked word by word.

"Of course." The senior monk frowned and said, "Does Master Tang Feng want to stop us?"

Tang Kumei shook her head and smiled bitterly:

“I’m just a human pawn, how can I stop it?

I just want to remind you that once you enter, don’t regret it.”

The crazy scribe muttered in dissatisfaction: "You are so long-winded."

Donggong Ruoshu nodded in agreement, looked around, and found that he was the only one nodding, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Chen Yi was thinking.

It seems that there are many dangers in the pagoda. Should we leave Yin Tingxue here and not let her enter the pagoda?
Suddenly, Chen Yi felt a breeze passing across his eyebrows. He looked up suddenly and saw Tang Kumei's lips moving.

She seemed to use some kind of mind-reading method and said calmly:
"She has to go in."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

At this time, Yin Tingxue shook his hand and said:

"I, I want to go in and take a look, too."

Chen Yi glanced at her sideways and noticed her ears moving slightly, as if she heard something.

Frowning, Chen Yi kept thinking, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.

Now that the master is not here, it is not realistic to leave Yin Tingxue here...

But he wanted to go in and solve the mystery and find an antidote no matter what, so the best way seemed to be to go in with Yin Tingxue and stay together.

At this time, Chen Yi missed Zhou Yitang especially.

It has been two days since he came here, and Zhou Yitang has gone somewhere unknown. She has never shown up. He always feels that she is plotting something in secret, but there are too few clues and he can't guess it no matter what.

Chen Yi only knew one thing, that she knew her own limits, and he could only trust her. His current master was his greatest helper and his last trump card.

After seeing Chen Yi nod, Tang Kumei looked at Lu Ying who was not far away.

"Lu Ying, if you still respect me as your uncle, then don't go."

Her tone was so unquestionable that even though Lu Ying didn't understand what she meant, he nodded anyway, and then looked at Donggong Ruoshu.

The woman with the goose-feather knife on her waist thought seriously for a breath or two, then shook her head like a rattle and said:

"I'm going to go take a look. Anyway, I'm not afraid."

She was the sixth-ranked disciple in the world, and if she was afraid of a small pagoda, even if she wasn't laughed at by others, she would be laughed at by her uncle and master.

"Don't worry, Brother Lu. I'll go with her."

Yin Weiying gently waved his whisk and spoke in a calm voice.

Seeing this, Lu Ying finally nodded, but still looked at them with some worry.

Then, she thought of someone, gritted her teeth, and asked softly:
"Captain Chen, please take good care of me when the time comes."

Chen Yi looked at her, somewhat puzzled. She was a little tangled, but without thinking too much, he agreed:

"Nature's law."

Whether it is Yin Weiying or the girl who goes by the alias Donggong, they are all people he cares about.

Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Tang Kumei waited for Lu Ying to leave the pavilion before she spoke:

"You... place the four statues of the Heavenly Kings in four directions."

"that is it?"

"Just like this, you will be sent to the Medicine Buddha Pagoda." Tang Kumei answered straightforwardly.

After hearing this, the eminent monk from the Western Regions calculated silently, and then placed the last statue of the Heavenly King on the stone table.

The statues of the four heavenly kings are gathered together.

There's a roar in my ears.

Above my head, it seemed as if the sun was blocked, casting a thick shadow.

Chen Yi looked up suddenly.

Then I saw that the space changed at some point, and four huge monsters were hovering in the air.

Those were the four heavenly kings. They stretched out their hands towards everyone and slowly covered them.

A heavy shadow descended, as if the sky was shaking and pressing down. Everywhere he looked, there was darkness. Chen Yi was shocked to find himself suddenly trapped in chaos. He held Yin Tingxue's hand tighter. The girl's faint breathing told him that she had not left him.

The roar was endless, and Chen Yi felt that the space was changing, twisting and turning.

After a long time, I opened my eyes again.

Chen Yi was shocked to find that the others had disappeared, leaving only Yin Tingxue by his side.

The girl was shivering and breathing heavily, and she tightly clenched Chen Yi's hand, and the sweat from their palms mixed together.

Chen Yi came back to his senses and saw that the girl's hand had turned pale from being clenched by him, so he let go.

Yin Tingxue wiped the sweat off her clothes and blew away the strange smell from her palms.

"Is this...the Medicine Buddha Pagoda?" Chen Yi murmured.

The ground beneath your feet is paved with colored tiles of various colors. It is so colorful that even if you don't look directly at it, it is a bit dazzling just standing there.

The walls were plated with silver and painted with patterns of lotus, honeysuckle, bodhi leaves, etc. Yin Tingxue looked around and was secretly amazed. This place was really like what was described in the Buddhist scriptures, the pure land of glass Buddha to the east of the Saha world.

And deep in the corridor, there are murals.

Yin Tingxue looked at him curiously.

There is a celestial maiden in the painting, and flower petals are seen falling from her hands. Two Bodhisattvas are preaching to their disciples. This is a common scene in Buddhist paintings where a celestial maiden scatters flowers. The flowers slide down to the Bodhisattvas but stay on the disciples.

However, this painting,

The flowers fell in an instant.
