My enemies became my companions

Chapter 31: Stone or Fairy? (Please read on)

The scene slowly faded away.

Chen Yi turned around and saw Yin Weiying's appearance.

The room remained the same, but the scent of tea had faded a little. Everything that had just happened was so real, yet like a dream.

Yin Weiying held the teacup and tasted the tea calmly.

"It seems that you have seen what the immortals have seen?"

The white-robed lady asked leisurely,

"Can you tell the new moon and full moon, and the spring and autumn?"

Chen Yi stared at Yin Weiying and asked without answering:

"Only when one forgets emotions can one achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin?"

Yin Weiying just said:

“This is the method of longevity of Mount Taihua.

Min Yuechi, I am the Jade Girl of Taihua. Today I need to choose a golden boy to go to the mountain with me to practice Taoism. "

Chen Yi slowly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and left.

Yin Weiying looked at him in disbelief.

This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case. I clearly sensed his change of mood from the illusion.

A person who is about to forget all emotions and free himself from the mundane world, suddenly, for unknown reasons, plunges back into it.

"Cut off worldly ties and forget about love?"

Chen Yi sneered and asked:

"Immortal Yin, are you cultivating stone or immortality?!"

Yin Weiying froze with fear. She felt contempt at first, but then the words went around in her mind and horror flashed in her eyes.

She came to her senses and was about to say something.

Chen Yi interrupted sharply:

"A stone can also sever its worldly ties and forget all emotions. It can also be immortal. Rather than saying it can, it is better to say that it is 'immortal'. Even if the entire Dayu is gone, the stone is still here. But is a person cultivating himself just to turn himself into a stone? To turn himself into a solemn statue in a temple?"

"I've heard people say that the main purpose of practicing Taoism is to become one with Heaven, but is Heaven heartless? There is an ancient saying: Heaven desires righteousness and hates unrighteousness, and those who follow Heaven's will love each other. This shows that Heaven is not heartless. Do you want to practice Taoism to make yourself heartless?"

"When a person practices Taoism, does he want to become an immortal, or a stone?!"

As soon as the words fell, the white-robed nun was instantly shocked and angry, and the two paper ladies beside her moved, and the room was instantly filled with murderous intent.

Min Ming, who was playing the piano, watched this scene and was shocked:

How dare he?

Even though it made her feel relieved, Min Ming still trembled. If it were her, she would never dare to offend this female priest with such a prominent background like this. This was simply like Wu Zixu being sentenced to death - blind.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice."

Yin Weiying laughed in anger. After calming down for a while, the resentment in her brows melted away like ice and snow. She looked indifferent to the mundane world and showed no emotion. She said calmly:
"I had expected that you would not understand it now. I also could not understand it before."

Seeing her like this, Chen Yi clasped his fists and said:

"Immortal Yin, I'm sorry for the offense."

Yin Weiying smiled and said:
"It's not an offense. Although your words are harsh, I won't take it to heart."

Chen Yi turned his eyes and looked at the panel not far away.

[Yin Weiying's negative emotions are rewarded with three years of true energy. ]

Don't take it seriously...I almost believed it.

"Heaven desires justice and hates injustice. Those who follow Heaven's will love each other."

Yin Weiying gently held the porcelain cup and took a sip of tea.
"It is nothing but the unorthodox teachings of the Mohist school. Although it was a prominent school of thought in ancient times, it is now of little use."

Chen Yi frowned and said nothing more, but said:
"If there is nothing else, Fairy Yin, please go back. I will hold the lamp for you."

Yin Weiying waved his sleeves, and the tea table in front of him disappeared along with the tea. No one knew where they were stored. Chen Yi looked at this scene and said nothing, but saw Min Ming standing beside him was very surprised. This was a unique way for the mountain people to store things. Chen Yi had seen it before. The tea sets did not disappear suddenly, but were stored in the "square place". However, Min Ming would not know this.

Chen Yi slowly escorted Yin Weiying out of Baihua Tower. He lit the lantern and walked in front to hold the lamp for her. He looked up and found that it was already dark.

It was dark, very dark.

No one knew when or why, but the sky, which had just been shrouded in twilight, suddenly darkened, and wisps of evil spirit began to spread.

A chilly wind suddenly blew, making the already cool autumn night even chillier.

Yin Weiying noticed something, frowned slightly, and murmured:

"Such a strong evil spirit... This shouldn't be the case. Isn't it the Day of Slaying Bandits and Demons yet?"

Hearing the words of the white-robed nun, Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

When the day of wiping out bandits and eliminating demons arrives, the capital city at night will turn into the underworld. The distance between humans and ghosts will no longer be clear, and ghosts and monsters will be everywhere.

The street that was bustling not long ago was now completely silent, and the pleasure boats on the river in the distance became blurry.

Chen Yi was confused when he thought about it.

What's going on... This shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't the Day of Slaying Bandits be in three days? How come... it's earlier? Has the plot changed again?
After experiencing many changes in the plot, Chen Yi has long realized that he cannot just follow previous experience, so he is now on guard.

Suddenly, from afar, bursts of noisy voices were heard.

A Taoist priest was sitting under a banyan tree, setting up a fortune-telling booth, and he shouted:

"Please ask for a good talisman, buy a good fortune, and get a good fortune."

There were a bunch of ordinary people surrounding them, it was very busy and lively.

Not far from the stall, Chen Yi saw Min Ning looking at the stall with confusion and curiosity.

"If you want to buy it, buy it quickly and don't get in the way!"

"Hey, if you don't buy it, I will. Don't block the road to wealth."

"Master, give me a healing talisman. I'll go back and boil some talisman water to cure my poor child."

……

People rushed to give copper coins to the Taoist stall and pushed each other. Min Ning, holding a knife, finally broke through the crowd.

She saw Chen Yi hurried over, and was stunned when she saw the female priest behind him.

The nun in white glanced at her, first with surprise, then with confusion. She looked at Chen Yi beside her, as if hesitating.

Chen Yi said sharply:
"Brother Zunming, you have been waiting for a long time."

After a glance, Min Ning understood immediately and said:

"Yuechi, has the matter of Baihua Tower been resolved?"

Chen Yi nodded slightly and pointed at Yin Weiying.
"Solved, this is... Yin Xiangu."

Then, he introduced Min Ning to Yin Weiying and said:
"Immortal Yin, this is... the captain of the West Factory and the current acting supervisor of the East Factory, Chen Yi, Chen Zunming."

Hearing the last few words, Yin Weiying looked at Min Ning sideways, then shook his head and sighed:
"Such a deep connection with the Dao... What a shame."

Min Ning was puzzled by this action.

"Master, don't go, don't go, sell another talisman, sell another talisman!"

"Master, please be merciful and give me a few more."

At the stall, the Taoist priest was packing up and leaving. He had already put the copper coins for buying talismans in his pocket and was walking slowly. He bowed to everyone and said guiltily:

"I am not very powerful and my energy is limited, so I will stop here today..."

An old woman rushed over, hugged the Taoist priest's legs, and begged:
"Please be kind. My poor son is too sick to get out of bed. He is the only one who supports the family. Without income, I can only hope to ask the Taoist priest for a talisman."

The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, then sighed and took out a talisman from his arms:

"I have another one that I have kept in my closet, which I have painted with all my heart and blood. I am giving it to you now, as long as you are willing to pay three times the price..."

Yin Weiying's eyebrows instantly turned upside down, and he lightly raised his peach wood sword to interrupt:
"You evil monster, you are stealing people's life-saving money! I am here, why don't you show your true self?!"
