My enemies became my companions

Chapter 207 I'm Good to You (Three-in-One)

After leaving the hungry ghost realm, the group of four came to the human world.

There was no one on the road in the human world, but it seemed that the pagoda and the small world were blending with each other. Sometimes you could see the pagoda suddenly appearing, and sometimes it disappeared.

In this situation, Chen Yi felt like he was "wearing a model".

The pagodas we saw along the way had fewer and fewer murals and even fewer patterns, and were replaced by large areas of blank space.

This just seems to confirm the principles of Buddhism: the higher you go and the more proficient you are in Buddhist principles, the fewer troubles you will have. The fewer troubles you have, the fewer new troubles you will have. The fewer new troubles you have, the fewer troubles you will have, until there are no more.

After defeating the thief, Chen Yi patiently comprehended the killing sword along the way.

I had never felt the meaning of the Killing Sword before, but now I try to comprehend it and find that the Killing Sword seems to be more suitable for me than the Killing Knife.

The sword that kills people, the Hinayana is killing people, the Mahayana is destroying the heart.

And Chen Yi has always been good at destroying people's hearts, whether it was breaking Zhou Yitang's sword in the previous life, or shattering Yin Weiying's longevity path, or even Yin Tingxue, forcing her, bullying her, and making her fall apart in an instant...

No wonder Zhou Yitang felt that he was born to wield the killing sword.

The sword that cut off the Buddha statue made Chen Yi realize a new skill.

Just as Min Ning had realized the power of destroying wind and cutting rain, now Chen Yi had also realized this sword technique.

With the Yinzai Sword compiled by Zhou Yitong as the body and the murderous sword as the soul, a sword technique unique to him lingers between his palms.

After some thought, Chen Yi named it "The Sword of Destroying Zen".

To destroy the heart, to destroy the heart, in the final analysis, is to destroy the Zen in the human heart. To destroy the Zen is to break the Dharma, just like the comment on the martial arts list of the Broken Swordsman, one sword breaks all Dharmas.

It rained on the road.

The rain gradually got heavier and the sky became gloomy. They just reached a rugged part of the mountain road. Chen Yi took a long breath and did not change his pace. Although Yin Tingxue was holding an oil-paper umbrella, she still could not stand the heavy rain. Her embroidered shoes were soaked and full of water, which was very unbearable.

In addition, it was already late at night and almost sundown, so Chen Yi took a few women to find a cave and take a rest.

The nun put all the oil-paper umbrellas back into the square, Chen Yi started a bonfire, and Donggong Ruoshu sat by the cave, watching the rain motionlessly. Yin Tingxue asked her why she wanted to watch the rain, and she replied that she wanted to see if she could get any inspiration for martial arts. It would be great if she could learn how to use a sword or a knife by watching the rain.

A bonfire was lit, the flames illuminated the faces of the girls, and the heavy rain outside brought up the smell of earth.

Yin Tingxue took off her shoes with her back to Chen Yi, and the rain water in her shoes fell to the ground. Her white feet, especially the soles, were full of cute wrinkles. The girl's skin was too delicate.

She curled up her legs shyly and moved towards the campfire, which just blocked Chen Yi's view of her feet.

"You must be hungry." Chen Yi pretended to be innocent and took out two steamed buns from his arms and handed them to Yin Tingxue.

Yin Tingxue hugged her legs with one hand and took the steamed bun with the other hand and held it in her arms.

Chen Yi sat down next to Yin Tingxue and closed his eyes to rest.

"Chen Yi...how come they were all liberated when you struck them with your sword?"

Yin Tingxue didn't rush to eat the steamed buns, but asked questions first.

After hearing this, Chen Yi explained calmly:

"It's just to destroy the heart and destroy the thief. In fact, those hungry ghosts are familiar with the Buddhist teachings and should have been liberated long ago, but they are obsessed with the Buddha statue in front of them and are blinded by a leaf."

Upon hearing this, Yin Tingxue nodded in sudden realization.

Chen Yi opened his eyes, glanced at her, and sneered:
"You wanted to chant then?"

Yin Tingxue shuddered and looked at him timidly.

"I don't allow you to recite the sutras because I'm afraid you will really get enlightened like Sakyamuni. If you achieve Buddhahood or nirvana, even if you are still by my side, you will have left me. Do you really want to leave me? You don't even want Yintai Temple anymore?"

Chen Yi's words were neither hurried nor slow, and there was no anger in his voice. He was terrifyingly calm.
"I heard you crying in Yintai Temple. I will not leave you."

Yin Tingxue was stunned for a moment. So he chopped the Buddha statue into pieces so that he would not leave her?
Chen Yi turned around and asked again:
“Did you want to chant at that time?”

She didn't dare to lie, so she admitted weakly:

"Hmm... I almost recited it. Are you going to punish me?"

The girl looked pitiful as she asked, "Are you going to punish me?"

Chen Yi thought for a moment and asked:
"Where's the paper flower?"

Yin Tingxue didn't know what he was going to do. She was nervous and didn't know how Chen Yi was going to punish her, but for him, she just had to do what he said.

She carefully pulled the paper flower out of her arms.

"I carry it with me." Yin Tingxue said, holding the paper flowers.

The paper flowers are intact and still in full bloom.

"Then I won't punish you."

Yin Tingxue looked at him in surprise.

You have to know that this husband loves to bully her in various ways, and he will bully her to death when he finds an opportunity.

Chen Yi pinched her cheek and said:
"Don't punish my girlfriend."

Yin Tingxue was stunned for a moment, then said "hmm" happily.

Yes, she became his girlfriend, he cared about her more and would occasionally give in to her.

Chen Yi gently picked up the small paper flower and carefully pinned it between her hair.

Yin Tingxue touched the paper flower on her forehead curiously, a little confused.

Paper flowers are worn on the ends of her hair. There is the sound of rain outside the cave. The girl is stunningly beautiful as she touches the flowers.

She confirmed in a low voice: "You really won't punish me?"

She was very afraid that Chen Yi would get angry with her, and she was afraid of it all the time. Sometimes she felt that she could figure out Chen Yi's thoughts, but sometimes she found that she couldn't figure it out at all.

Chen Yi looked at her lovingly, kissed her forehead gently, and said softly:
"I won't punish you. I won't punish you for any small mistakes in the future. I know you are very well behaved."

"Hmm..." Yin Tingxue responded.

He really liked bullying this little fox, but this time, Yin Tingxue took the initiative to admit her mistake and kept the paper flowers he gave her very well, which made him want to be nicer to her.

Besides, she was already very lonely, with only herself, the mother and husband, left.

Chen Yi softened his voice and said, "When we get back to Yintai Temple, I'll carve a Bodhisattva for you, plant a maple tree, and decorate Yintai Temple to look like it did before, okay?"

Yin Tingxue was surprised, and her eyes felt sour: "Why are you so nice to me?"

"You are my girlfriend." Chen Yi kissed her forehead.

Yin Tingxue's pupils shrank. She looked at him and gently pressed the paper flower on her forehead with her fingertips.

This is boyfriend/girlfriend proof.

She lowered her head and took a bite of the steamed bun. As she chewed, sweetness began to seep out. The little fox stretched out her other hand and put her arm around Chen Yi's waist.

He said it would make him happy.

Chen Yi hugged her gently.

Speaking of which, since returning from Yintai Temple, I have unconsciously become much gentler towards her.

How come... I am becoming more and more adapted to my role as a mother?

Chen Yi smiled bitterly.

He held her tightly in his arms and would not let her go. The two of them snuggled together, and they did not let go even when the sound of rain stopped.

The nun sat in the corner, looking at the two people cuddling together, and snorted softly.

What he thought was right. The daughter of King Xiang had already become dependent on him, but she herself didn't even know it.

Thinking of this, Yin Weiying got goosebumps. She had to know that she was also treated as a concubine by Chen Yi. Would she depend on him in the future?
Relying on this person who needs to replenish her spiritual power day and night?

Doesn't that mean there will never be a day when one can attain enlightenment and become an immortal? !
Taking the mistakes of the past as a lesson for the future, Yin Weiying was alert in his heart. He recited the Great Forgetfulness Method secretly, sat in meditation, and looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose.

She couldn't disobey him, so she could only be on guard in secret.

She was always a flexible woman, and since she could only be his concubine for now, why not wait until the future, let him enjoy the pleasure to the fullest, indulge in her taste, and mistakenly think that she had returned to his heart.

By then, I will definitely be manipulated by her. I am afraid that it is not Chen Yi who wants to absorb her Taoism, but she will absorb Chen Yi's Taoism...

Night fell on the cave, and the floor was laid out.

Chen Yi hugged Yin Tingxue and lay down.

Looking back at the movements of the other two women, Donggong Ruosu was sitting by the campfire keeping watch, while Yin Weiying was hiding far away, trying her best to stay away from his sight.

It was time to go to bed, so Yin Tingxue carefully took off the paper flower and put it in her arms.

She looks so serious, so adorable.

Chen Yi raised his hand and scratched her nose. She lowered her head in shame, her face slightly red.

Lying on Chen Yi's chest, Yin Tingxue couldn't stop thinking that he had been very nice these days. He sent her paper flowers, listened to her and didn't punish her. He also said he wanted to add maple trees and Bodhisattva statues to Yintai Temple.

Will he...always be this good?
By the way, speaking of it,

He is so good now.

You don’t have any other requests, do you?

After thinking about it, Yin Tingxue became alert and looked at Chen Yi timidly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yi put his hands on her waist.

"No, nothing..."

"honestly."

Yin Tingxue felt a little frightened when she heard that. To be honest, would he really listen to her? What if her words made him unhappy?

She said she wanted to please him, only in this way could she not have children and stop being a mother.

However, no matter how unhappy Yin Tingxue was, as long as Chen Yi gave her a look, she still spoke:

"You're so nice to me...are you trying to...teasing me, bullying me?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked back:
"What do you mean?"

"Just... like before,"

Yin Tingxue recalled the embarrassing memories and her eyebrows drooped.

"You treat me well because you want me to get married..."

Chen Yi paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said:

"So what? You don't want me to be nice to you?"

Yin Tingxue lowered her face dejectedly.

Chen Yi hugged her tighter, thought for a while, and said softly:
"Why don't you think about it? What can you bargain with me for? As long as I want it, you have to give it to me obediently."

Yin Tingxue shrank her neck after hearing this.

Chen Yi hugged her and said softly:
"So...it's actually irrelevant.

I am good to you because I want to be good to you.”

Yin Tingxue was stunned and raised her little face tremblingly, as if she had never thought that Chen Yi had such thoughts.

It turns out that he was being nice to me without asking for anything else?
Chen Yi kissed her forehead again and said softly:
"Didn't you ask me to treat you better? You're so good, of course I want to treat you well. Sometimes I want to bully you, but I can't help it. But I still like you very much, so I treat you better when I think about how pitiful you are."

Yin Tingxue opened her mouth a little, then nodded and said "hmm", her smile somewhat unconcealable.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, human nature is kind, he really knows how to be good to himself...

Chen Yi looked at her with a smile and said:

"Silly boy, I'm the only one left for you, why shouldn't I treat you well?"

The little fox smiled foolishly, and stuck to his arms, her fingertips trembling slightly, a little unsure where to put her hands. After a while, she folded both hands to her chest and curled up.

She felt relieved, happy now. She had been worried for so long because Chen Yi bullied her as he pleased, which made her feel uncertain and insecure. What she feared most was insecurity. The time when she was most afraid of Chen Yi and felt the most insecure was the day she got married. She didn't know what her future would be like after getting married, otherwise she wouldn't have asked him not to hurt her.

Now Chen Yi said that why he was not good to her, that is, no matter what, he would be good to her, even if he would still bully her, he would still be good to her...

Just like mother, even if I scold her or punish her, I will never hurt her and will always treat her well.

Yin Tingxue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she felt happy in her heart. She carefully touched the paper flowers in her arms.

Suddenly, she asked in a soft voice, "Will you apologize to me later?"

"What apology?" Chen Yi was at a loss.

"You forced me to be your concubine and forced me to leave the house..."

Yin Tingxue probed him like a fox, looked at him, and then lowered her eyes.

"Will you apologize to me for this later?"

Chen Yi pondered for a while, and seeing that she was happy now, he smiled and asked:
"Will you forgive me?
I don’t want to make an apology that won’t be forgiven.”

"Yes." Yin Tingxue nodded repeatedly.

"Then I will too."

"Let's make a deal. You'll apologize to me later."

The little fox looked at the man in front of her and smiled softly. If someone like him was willing to apologize to her, it meant that what he said was true and he would really treat her well...

All along, she really had so many grievances, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of escaping. He always bullied her and treated her badly. She could only find joy in suffering and constantly remind herself to be good and obedient, to be a good concubine, and to treat him gently and submissively.

But in the final analysis, grievances are still grievances, and sufferings are still sufferings...

Just now,

"I'm very happy."

She said softly:

"I'm here with you, and I can finally talk to you."

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

The one-armed woman calculated with her fingers.

She made many arrangements in a place that her disciple didn't know about.

Making him realize what a killing sword is is just one of the steps.

Now, she has used the method of traveling far away by incarnation of her soul to enter the small lotus world inside the pagoda.

"If the sword had not been broken, there would be no need for such trouble."

Zhou Yitang muttered to himself.

Now, she has figured out the Hehuan Sect and the hidden clues behind it.

The interlocking rings and intertwined lines form a large net, which is not impenetrable, but has many loose threads.

After traveling far away in this small world, Zhou Yitong found Chen Yi's location.

He sorted out the things behind the Hehuan Sect, found the murderous sword and gambled with the Broken Swordsman, and prepared to give him the final instruction for the next duel...

She was so busy and didn't know what he was doing...

While thinking, Zhou Yitong looked into the distance, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Oh.
Talking about love...

The one-armed woman suddenly became angry for no reason.

But after a long time, she let out a deep breath and murmured:
"You can talk, right?"

Yin Tingxue has a say in him.

But why does he never listen to what his master says?

The one-armed woman looked gloomy.

She no longer hesitated and started to fly away.

The night was dark as hemp, with flickering lights and the sound of insects chirping in the mountains.

Light snoring sounds were heard. A man and a woman were sleeping together. The girl was comforting herself in the man's arms. The one-armed woman saw this scene from afar and floated over like a ghost.

Zhou Yitang looked at them. The girl looked like a curled-up piece of meat, and the man was like a half-wrapped dough. Together they looked like a dumpling, and she seemed a little redundant.

The one-armed woman looked for a long time in the night, but Donggong Ruoshu didn't notice her coming at all.

The girl from the East Palace was very sleepy, with her head down. The firelight flickered, and the night was quiet and deep as water.

Zhou Yitang turned around, chanted a spell in a low voice, and then slapped Donggong Ruoshu on the head.

Sleepiness rose like a spiral, and Miss Donggong could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

Fingertips suddenly appeared on Chen Yi's face, and the one-armed woman had a blank expression on her face, feeling the slightly warm touch.

Zhou Yitang became quiet, his expression seemed to blend into the dark night.

Can she still...get him?
Zhou Yitang glanced at Yin Tingxue who was hugged by him.

Just like he got Yin Tingxue.

After an unknown amount of time, a hand slowly covered hers, and she subconsciously pulled her hand away slightly.

Chen Yixu said in confusion: "...Master, it's you."

The one-armed woman's hand stopped, and her palm turned to press against his face.

"Zhen Nuan, why are you here?" Chen Yi asked in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yitang finally spoke: "Am I here at the wrong time?"

"You came just in time."

As he spoke, Chen Yi turned over and lay flat on the floor. He held the little fox in his right hand and waved his left hand towards Zhou Yitang, signaling her to come over as there was still room available.

His master's eyes were so frighteningly cold that they made him shudder.

Chen Yi immediately withdrew his hand, turned around and embraced the sleeping little fox wholeheartedly.

The one-armed woman made no comment.

Instead, he hugged Yin Tingxue tighter and said jokingly, "This is how you treat your girlfriend."

The one-armed woman said nothing.

Chen Yi hesitated for a while and then said, "When will you become my boyfriend?"

He knew that Zhou Yitang understood what he meant.

But his master still didn't say anything. This was neither an escape nor a direct confrontation. Perhaps the answer had already been in his mind, and he just lacked the opportunity to look back suddenly and realize it in the dim light.

Chen Yi let go of Yin Tingxue, turned around, looked straight at her in the darkness, and asked softly:
"You don't want to touch my face openly?"

Zhou Yitang finally showed some reaction this time. She stared back and said:

"I could never."

Chen Yi was a little disappointed and kept asking:

"Zhu Yu, why don't you just throw yourself into my arms every time?"

Chen Yi has been with her for more than a day or two in this life. He has teased her and been gentle to her, but Zhou Yitang never seems to appreciate it and never takes that step.

Seeing that she was very quiet, Chen Yi thought she would not answer him, so he turned and left.

At this time, the one-armed woman suddenly spoke: "Do you think I would have sexual desire for you after I killed the three corpses?"

Although he had expected it, Chen Yi was still stunned when he heard her say it herself.

Chen Yi seemed to feel that
She seemed...still unwilling.

Chen Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you just accept your fate? It's not like I won't treat you well."

He had hurt her before, so he wanted to keep going and be gentle with her.

However, the one-armed woman said:

"I can deny it."

Chen Yi suddenly felt a surge of air and his chest twitching upwards.

Zhou Yitang looked at him steadily.

Chen Yi turned his back and hugged Yin Tingxue, who was unaware of Master Zhou's arrival and was immersed in a sweet dream.

This scene was really awkward, a woman secretly staring at a man hugging another woman, as if she was catching an adulterer, but Chen Yi knew that Zhou Yitang was staring, and Zhou Yitang also knew that Chen Yi knew she was staring, so it was like a blatant affair.

"What did you find out?" Chen Yi asked in order to ease the atmosphere.

The one-armed woman was never one to keep people in suspense, so she got down to business:

"The matter of the Hehuan Sect is complicated and has its own reasons. As everyone expected, Tang Kumei is just a cover. Inside is the layout between the Western Region Medicine Buddha Sect and the Three Immortals Mountain."

Chen Yi heard this and thought of something:

"The snake I encountered in the Sutra Library was already feeding on fear. The name of the Hehuan Sect is Hehuan. They hosted a banquet for heroes from all over the world and deliberately used the magic method to make their offspring scarce. Do you think this has anything to do with the so-called plot?"

"That's right." Zhou Yitang gave an affirmative answer, "Do you know that offspring can carry destiny?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of an extremely vicious spell, "What do you mean?"

The one-armed woman seemed to see through her disciple's thoughts and said calmly, "The Hehuan Sect refines the souls of unborn descendants, uses the Teng Snake to remove fear, and refines pure luck. When the divination shows that a descendant with good bones, talent, and understanding is born, this luck is injected into the abdication through the union of yin and yang."

Just by listening, Chen Yi felt that this was like people throwing all kinds of scrap iron into aqua regia until gold was extracted.

The entire sect was like a gigantic alchemy furnace, where countless souls were melted. Even though the Hehuan Sect had always had a very bad reputation, hearing this still made people horrified.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and asked softly:

"And that's all?"

Zhou Yitang looked at Yin Tingxue meaningfully.

Chen Yi's breathing suddenly tightened, and he stood up abruptly and said:
"What does it have to do with her? What does it have to do with her?"

The mystery surrounding Yin Tingxue is the biggest reason why Chen Yi brought her here.

If it weren't for this, he would just want Yin Tingxue to stay at home obediently.

"It has something to do with her mother." Zhou Yitang said lightly.

"who is it?"

Zhou Yitang revealed calmly: "Prince Xiang's Concubine Lu is one of the incarnations of Medicine Bodhisattva."

Chen Yi was startled at first, and then realized that Zhou Yitang seemed to be holding back:

"Do you...have anything else to say?"

"It's just a guess."

"Then you say it too."

However, Zhou Yitang shook his head.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

What on earth is my master planning?
Chen Yi thought of her vague unwillingness and got goosebumps.

In the darkness, the one-armed woman's eyes were like swords, blocking Chen Yi's throat. She sneered:

"When did you feel that I didn't want you to kill the three corpses again?"

Suddenly, she put her fingers together to make a sword and pointed it at Chen Yi's forehead!
