My enemies became my companions

Chapter 254: The Demon Queen's Concubine

Jinya Pavilion.

This beautiful place has never lacked writers and poets. They recite poems and compose couplets in front of the beautiful scenery, pour out their heartfelt feelings to each other, and drink cup after cup of wine, which can melt away all the sorrows.

But the goddess of Taihua, Yin Weiying, never drinks.

Not all Taoist monks are forbidden to drink alcohol. Only the Quanzhen Sect prohibits alcohol and meat. Most Taoists only do not eat four things: beef, dog, goose and blackfish.

Mount Taihua is not a Taoist sect that follows the Quanzhen School. Compared to the Quanzhen School, which has many branches, Mount Taihua advocates that the golden boy and the jade girl should sever their ties to the world and practice cultivation in seclusion. Otherwise, Yin Weiying would not have searched so hard for the golden boy at that time. However, in the end, he ended up losing himself. Not only could he not practice in seclusion, but he also had to provide that man with spiritual energy to practice Taoism.

Yin Weiying's brows were knitted tighter, and she pursed her lips slightly. Unbearable memories flooded into her mind. That man had left cruel marks on her body, making her covered in filth. She shuddered when she thought about it. When she returned to the palace, she inadvertently looked in the bronze mirror and realized how miserable she was. She became flustered and hid in the house, worried that the servants would notice something was wrong. If they reported it to King Jing and Princess Jing, letting them know that their eldest daughter's cultivation was getting worse and worse, and that she was being abused by their mortal enemy Chen Yi, then King Jing's palace would surely collapse.

Actually, if you think about all this carefully, it's not so bad. No matter how big the fuss gets, it will eventually be buried as a scandal. After Yin Weiying calmed down, he found that what made him even more despairing was the man's cold rejection afterwards.

"Miss Yin, what are you thinking about?" The female Taoist priest of Shangqing Taoism beside her asked when she saw that she was frowning.

Yin Weiying came back to his senses, smiled faintly, and shook his whisk lightly, saying: "As a monk, what else can you think about?"

The female Taoist priest of Shangqing Dao showed admiration and gently offered the nun a cup of tea.

Yin Weiying responded with similar courtesy, and then the female Taoist turned around and looked straight past the Taoists who were talking and fell on Taoist Xuanzhen.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the Shangqing Taoist should have left the capital long ago. However, during the day of suppressing bandits and eliminating demons, Taoist Feiyuan was injured and Taoist Xuanzhen was also seriously injured. They were not fit to move around and urgently needed to recuperate on the spot, so they did not leave until now.

Since the Shangqing Dao was leaving the capital, practice was inevitable. As the goddess of Taihua, Yin Weiying was invited and naturally would not be absent. The practice among the Taoists was not like literati reciting poems and composing couplets, but discussing Taoism so that each other could gain something from the journey.

Now, the Taoists were discussing Taoism. The female Taoist stared at Taoist Xuanzhen with eyes as bright as a young girl's. It was clearly the time of light snow. The female Taoist's eyes were shy and affectionate, and the meaning behind them was indescribable.

Yin Weiying laughed when he saw it, and when the female Taoist priest came to her senses belatedly,
The crown lady said softly:
"When the snow falls, who wants to think of spring?"

The female Taoist blushed, feeling extremely ashamed. After a long while, she heard Yin Weiying laugh and say:

"Why panic? It's just a girl's worry."

The female Taoist priest slowly recovered and whispered:
"Of course I understand the importance of keeping a clear mind and few desires, but when I saw Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, I couldn't calm down."

"Alas, it all comes down to one thing: you haven't practiced enough." Since they were quite familiar with each other, Yin Weiying said jokingly.

Hearing this, the female Taoist priest plucked up her courage and asked, "Then... Miss Yin doesn't have any girlish thoughts?"

At that time, when Huaishui Village encountered the ghost general, the female Taoist priest and Taoist Xuanzhen were all present. In addition, there was a lot of interaction between fellow Taoists, so there were fewer reservations in their words.

“…never.”

When Yin Weiying said this, his eyes lowered slightly and his mind was filled with sadness.

What kind of girlish thoughts...

A young woman’s thoughts…that’s all.

It would be better if she didn't think about it. When the thought came to this, Yin Weiying's eyes became long. Is her current predicament similar to that of a wife who wanted to win back her husband's true heart? She wanted to become an immortal, but he wouldn't give her the chance, and he didn't allow her to exchange it. In fact, when they first met, if she had taken advantage of the situation and recognized him as her golden boy, would the result have been different? The nun thought, if she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place? Are they really similar? Yin Weiying didn't know that she had never had a girl's mind.

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it anymore, how deep can my friendship with him be? It's just the end.

Seeing someone walking towards her from a distance, Yin Weiying realized it was Lu Ying, so she stood up and bowed. When she raised her head, she froze slightly because she saw a pair of curious, blinking eyes.

The East Palace is neglected!

When he saw this girl, Yin Weiying felt angry.

But she still suppressed it a little, just because this girl from the East Palace kept her promise and didn't spread her affairs.

"Why are you here?"

Yin Weiying greeted him with a smile, his voice was light and his whisk was shaking slightly.

"Ding... Miss Yin, we heard Xuanzhen and the others talking about Huaishui Village." Donggong Ruoshu asked humbly, "I want to hear what happened that day?"

The nun's face froze for a moment, and only when she saw nothing unusual in Lu Ying's expression did she breathe a sigh of relief. In her heart, she felt extremely resentful towards Dong Gong Ruoshu.

It would be best if this East Palace girl was captured by that man one day, locked up in a small dark room for ten days or eight days, and finally collapsed to the ground with her eyes blank. Let's see who is the Dinglu girl. Yin Weiying had evil thoughts in his mind.

However, she remained calm, her heart as still as water, and smiled:

"What else could it be? That day, it was nothing more than Captain Chen slaying a ghost."

"But I heard that he seemed to kiss Min Ning."

“…Just a small incident.”

"And in front of you." "..."

Yin Weiying smiled wryly and said:
“…My heart is as calm as water.”

Donggong Ruoshu sighed inwardly when he saw her calm face. Even though he knew her true relationship with Chen Yi, he still couldn't help but admire her.

Even though she admired him, Miss Donggong did not delve into the matter. She was not asking about this, but to find out something about Chen Yi.

The Lizhu that she wanted was still in Chen Yi's hands. If she didn't build a good relationship with him, she would be stuck at the sixth or seventh grade for half her life.

"Then... why did he appear in Huaishui Village at that time?" Donggong Ruoshu asked.

Yin Weiying thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be due to... the will of the emperor."

Donggong Ruoshu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about the demon queen?"

"Ruo Shu!" Lu Ying said nervously.

"It's okay. They are not outsiders." Yin Weiying said calmly. As the daughter of King Jing, she naturally hated Queen An who was in power.

Seeing Yin Weiying say this, Lu Ying didn't know what to say.

Donggong Ruoshu continued, "Is he someone who will obey the emperor's orders? It is said that the ghost generals in Huaishui Village are very fierce. Why would he take such a big risk?"

Yin Weiying thought to herself, how do I know why he went there? It's impossible that he went there just to summon the spirits. She lowered her eyes as if thinking about something, but she suddenly thought of something, sneered secretly, and then said:

"Yeah, why would he take such a big risk?"

Donggong Ruoshu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is there something else going on?"

"Why would he take such a risk? When it comes down to it, isn't it just because of lust?" Yin Weiying said in a flat voice.

After hearing this, Lu Ying and Donggong Ruoshu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Which girl is it?" Donggong Ruoshu asked.

"The one in the sky." Yin Weiying said meaningfully.

When the two girls heard this, their thoughts changed and they took a deep breath.

"Demon, Demon Queen?!" Donggong Ruoshu was shocked.

Yin Weiying's eyes were deep, and he sighed softly, "Why don't you think about it? He was not well-known before, but he was promoted to a thousand households overnight. Why? Even if the rain is heavy, it can't moisten the grass without roots. The evil queen took a fancy to him, took him as her lover, had fun every night, and granted her an official position privately, and he naturally...served her at her beck and call."

When the two girls heard this, they were stunned for a long time. The reason was simple. To put it bluntly, these words were treasonous. Even if they were put nicely, they were fabricated. Yin Weiying came from a noble family. Although she could say these words, they might not be able to listen to them. Fortunately, this was Jin Ya Pavilion and there were no outsiders here.

Donggong Ruoshu lowered his chin and kept the words of the nun in mind. After thinking about it for a long time, he found that this might be true. It could clarify many doubts and it was quite consistent with the impression that Chen Yi gave people.

His daughter dared to be a cauldron, so what's wrong with being a concubine for the queen mother? It seems that there is nothing wrong with it...

Goddess Taihua looked at this scene and sneered secretly.

To be honest, I have no idea what she said, it's just a guess.

As for whether this was a lie, Yin Weiying didn't think about it. If he didn't think about it, it wouldn't count.

What's more, the reason why monks do not tell lies is because the higher the level of cultivation, the more in line with the Tao, and the Tao does not lie. Because of this, the more lies one tells, the more one's cultivation will be hindered, and one may even be rejected by the Tao.

It's just that Yin Weiying's cultivation was taken away for ten years. He was originally in the late stage of Jindan, but he dropped two levels to the early stage of Jindan. He has reached the bottom, so it doesn't matter if he tells a few lies.
And these words only need to mislead Donggong Ruoshu a little bit. If this Donggong girl offends Chen Yi and falls into the clutches of the latter, then she will...

She tried to imagine the scene of Chen Yi grabbing Miss Donggong with a sinister smile, while she watched from the side, waving her whisk indifferently, wanting to see who was Miss Dinglu.

When she thought of Chen Yi, the ignorance in her heart suddenly magnified for some reason.

She suddenly recalled Chen Yi's words.

"You're restless."

The lady in white shuddered.

She glanced at the innocent girl from the East Palace and felt inexplicably frightened.

In a panic, she pinched her fingers and secretly told the fortune.

Six and four, holding the bag, no blame and no praise.

The hexagram indicated peace and no disaster or trouble, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Still, not bad.
