My enemies became my companions

Chapter 332: Encounter with Concubine Dong

The nun seemed to be frozen in place as if under a spell.

Chen Yi glanced at her sideways. He always felt that she was beautiful when she was quiet. Even at this moment when she was shocked, she was still beautiful.

After a long while, Yin Weiying finally came to his senses and asked, "Did you see it with your divine eyes?"

"About that." Chen Yi replied.

In fact, I experienced it once in my previous life, but it’s almost the same as saying it’s the third eye.

When the Heavenly Eye was not using the Eye-Opening Spell, it could at most vaguely sense that something was wrong and could see the background of that group of cannibal ghosts, but it was simply impossible to discover that the corpses of those seemingly victims were actually the most evil ghosts.

The nun took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"I thought... you didn't see their background. At first I thought you knew it and were afraid of ruining your plan. Besides, those cannibals didn't have a strong foundation either. But later..."

"Later you felt that I really couldn't see it?" Chen Yi added for her.

Yin Weiying did not deny it and smiled bitterly:
"I didn't expect that I was wrong in the end. Not only could you see it, you also explored it deeper."

Naturally, Chen Yi would not think too much about these words or think about anything else.

He just said: "I did try to take advantage of the situation from the beginning."

As he said that, Chen Yi turned around, picked up a wooden stick, and pushed away the body parts on the ground according to his memory.

I saw the body parts rolling down, and then a half-dead body emerged. It was wearing the official uniform of a ghost catcher and had a token around its waist.

He used his strength to strike the token with a wooden stick, and the token flew into the air. Chen Yi used Qi to control the object and threw it into the water tank for cleaning. After controlling the water flow to clean it, he took it in his hand.

After washing, the token is as clean as new, with a small crack in the middle, which is difficult to find without careful observation.

"What is this?" Yin Weiying leaned forward and took a look.

"It was originally the token of a little ghost messenger, but this ghost messenger happened to help transfer the dead souls."

Chen Yi said so.

The so-called "helping to guide the dead souls" means leading some ghosts to reincarnation through a secret road, so that these ghosts do not have to cross the Naihe Bridge or drink Mengpo soup, and they will retain their memories of their previous lives even after reincarnation.

Such things are not uncommon in the Three Realms, and Yin Weiying understood it immediately.

Chen Yi stepped out of the kitchen and looked back at the yard. The reason why he asked Liu Ting and his group of cannibals to bring him here was for this token. Otherwise, the mountain road was rugged and it would take him an unknown amount of time to find this place.

When the token was opened, a tiny piece of paper was found inside, on which was drawn a road that could bypass the Naihe Bridge.

But only half.

It is naturally impossible for the ghost messenger who leads people to smuggle to carry a complete map with him. Otherwise, if the ghosts become evil and kill people to steal the map, he will have to pay with his life and the map.

As for now, the situation is better.
He lost his life, but not the map, and it even benefited the stranger Chen Yi.

"Let's go." Chen Yi said after finding the direction on the map.

While comparing the map, he casually glanced at the calendar not far away, and it said: The seventh day of the first lunar month.

Now the time in Dayu is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, but one day on earth is one year underground, and the difference between the two is huge, so the calendars are naturally out of sync.

Yin Weiying sheathed his sword, took two steps forward, and grasped the hem of Chen Yi's clothes skillfully.

She looked at Chen Yi's back with a serious look, and pursed her lips, as if she had been suppressed by him in every way since she met him.
I used to often think about turning things around, but the more we got along, the more I felt that this man was even more unpredictable than I had imagined, and the more I wanted to turn things around, the more I couldn't.

Thinking of this, Yin Weiying shuddered, as if he was born to be his cauldron.
The nun could only sigh secretly, fortunately he was engaged now, and would get married in the future. Even if her body became a cauldron, as long as her heart was not, and she kept her guard against him, she would be able to secretly cultivate and become an immortal. She would not be dependent on him, and would not end up like Zhu Yingtai who sacrificed her life for love.

There was a slight pulling feeling from behind, and Chen Yi, who had his back to her, couldn't help but smile, feeling her vague support.

After confirming the road with the map again, the two set off again through the stone forest.

There were occasional chilly breezes along the way, but after a while, both of them had gotten used to the biting cold brought by the wind.

This kind of coldness, if we were to make an analogy, would be the severe winter in the south with extremely high humidity. It wouldn't freeze people to death, but the coldness that can penetrate the pores of the skin and penetrate into the bone marrow.

And this cold wind is also not able to kill people, so even though it is difficult to adapt to, one can eventually adapt to it.

Chen Yi was walking in front with a lantern, and the next person they were going to meet was a monk.

According to his understanding of his past life, this monk came from Goryeo and originally followed the Goryeo envoys to China to obtain Buddhist scriptures and spread Buddhism, but he mistakenly entered the underworld of China. Since then, he has stayed in the underworld and guarded the secret path called Yiji Road.

The monk's Buddhist name was Diguan, and he was an eloquent monk.

If I remember correctly, the so-called return of the late emperor's soul meant that the late emperor intended to seize the body of the King of Hell in the Second Hall, break out of the underworld, and return to the human world.

This is also the reason why the ghost woman said that this area is rather chaotic.

After the former emperor took over his body, his evil spirit and killing power were so terrifying that no one person could resist him.

According to the so-called "strategy", you need to gather a group of friends to fight the boss.

This monk Diguan is one of the companions.

Since the late emperor was possessing the body of King Yama, although Chen Yi had no idea what the late emperor looked like, he was still familiar with beating the late emperor.

The further they walked on the mountain road, the more rugged it became. There were some irregular scars along the road, and strange rocks were scattered around. Chen Yi could see a huge stone mountain from afar, towering above the road, with only arm-thick fulcrums on both sides, as if it would fall down at any time and block the road.

Chen Yi knew that Master Diguan was getting closer and closer to them.

Yin Weiying followed closely behind him, and as he bent down carefully, he walked through the rockery. She looked forward and saw Chen Yi half-squatting and walking through the corridor, with his buttocks appearing in front of the nun.

The lines on her face were slightly firm and she suddenly wanted to pinch and poke them.

I just don't have the guts.

For some reason, ever since returning from the Hehuan Sect, Yin Weiying sometimes always felt, consciously or unconsciously, that something about Chen Yi was very attractive.

She couldn't say what was so attractive about it, but it was just very much to her liking.

Between each other... not to mention their personalities, but their bodies seem to be getting more and more compatible.

It's like a mortise and tenon joint, fitting perfectly.

There was not just one stone mountain, but they came one after another. Chen Yi couldn't count how many times he had squatted, and he had no idea what the female priest behind him was looking at.

After calculating the distance and crossing a rocky mountain, I saw the broken wall at the end of the mountain road. There were countless protruding cliffs heading towards the other side, but there was only one road that could lead people to the other side.

A Zen temple stands next to the broken wall.

Chen Yi led Yin Weiying over.

There is not much dust on the door of the Zen temple, and the road is as clean as new, as if Master Diguan cleans it frequently. The monks regard these daily tasks as spiritual practice.

Chen Yi pushed open the gate of the Zen temple with ease and stepped inside. The hall was dimly lit, and there was only a monk sitting in front of the Buddha statue with his back to them.

"Master Diguan."

Chen Yi called out and walked closer.

As if hearing Chen Yi's voice, the monk's head turned slightly. Then,

Rolled down...

Chen Yi's pupils suddenly shrank.

The head rolled to the ground with blood, and the broken surface of the head was smooth, and the dark red blood had dried.

Master Diguan...is dead!
The partner who was originally going to fight the boss died just like that? !
Chen Yi was shocked, and Yin Weiying, who was standing beside him, saw the head rolling down, his face turned pale, and he pulled out half of the peach wood sword.

Halfway through pulling it out, she got stuck.

Because a hand as soft as boneless pressed on the nun's hand.

The two of them heard the sound of clear laughter:

"Are you looking for Diguan?
he died,
I killed him."

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

Wow!
The blade whistled and cut through the wind.

Yin Weiying only saw the beautiful woman in front of him flash by, and the knife passed by in the wind.

Chen Yi stopped the blade.

In order to avoid accidentally hurting Yin Weiying, the knife was moved much slower.

The beautiful woman who had suddenly disappeared appeared in front of the corpse, standing tall and graceful.

Chen Yi said nothing, raised his knife and walked forward slowly.

"You don't want to ask me why I killed him?" the charming woman asked, kicking the headless corpse away casually. "Speaking of which, he and I are from the same hometown, but unfortunately..."

Chen Yi didn't even bother to reply and just drew his knife.

The devastating wind and rain swept in, and the scene before my eyes was torn into a thin white line.

The woman's eyes flashed, and her long black hair, which had to be tied up, stretched out wildly as if it had come alive, gathered in front of her and collided with the fierce knife.

Wow!
Amidst the shattering sounds, strong winds blew up the hair, which exploded and scattered all around.

A hint of horror flashed across the woman's eyes. The force of the knife was shocking, but at the very beginning of the clash, she didn't gain much advantage.

But she had been practicing hard in the Imperial City for nearly ten years, and spent almost half of every year practicing in the underworld...

Remember, one day on earth is one year underground.

Even though he has not yet reached the third level of martial arts of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, nearly a thousand years have passed in the underworld, and he should be close to it.

As for the man in front of him whose origins were unknown, even if his martial arts skills were weaker than his own, they might not be much weaker.

However, although the martial arts are similar...

During the nearly one thousand years in the underworld, Concubine Dong also learned a lot of magic.

Some of the techniques were brought from Goryeo, such as the art of witchcraft, while some were taken from the Central Plains. Although the rules in the imperial city were strict, some Taoist books were still easy to get because the previous emperor was obsessed with Taoist cultivation.

Just as Chen Yi was about to step forward and strike again, Concubine Dong uttered the word "Order".

The hair scattered around suddenly stood up like iron wires and turned into thousands of sharp needles that pounced towards Chen Yi.

There were bursts of hissing sounds in the air. Even with the Shangqing Heart Method, the needles were a little slower, but Chen Yi still fell into the dilemma of making a choice.

Should he strike behind him with his sword to break through the densely packed hair pins, or continue to fight against the woman of unknown origin?

Just as he was thinking about this, Chen Yi caught a detail out of the corner of his eye.

Yin Weiying made hand gestures with one hand and recited scriptures.

In an instant, Chen Yi no longer turned his head, but went straight towards the woman.

Concubine Dong looked surprised.
Isn't he afraid of death?
The next moment, a sudden strong wind gave the answer.

The air flow became faster as Yin Weiying finished speaking, and violent winds and waves swept across the entire temple in an instant.

The hairpin that attacked Chen Yi was also twisting its trajectory in the strong wind, and either fell down or directly changed direction. Even the hairpin that was still attacking Chen Yi was now at the end of its strength.

Another blow destroyed the wind and rain, and a layer of dark waves was shattered.

Concubine Dong tried hard to control the ends of her hair, and the hair beside her ears stabbed towards Chen Yi like spears in a strange arc.

Chen Yi suddenly raised his hand and hammered downwards, the tip of his fist hit, and the Cangshan Fist broke the spear in half.

Concubine Dong's face looked even paler at this moment.

And Chen Yi had already arrived.

The blade gleams with cold light,

In an instant, the delicate and boneless body of Concubine Dong was torn apart.

There was no bloodshed.
But...

She leaked air.

Just like a thin piece of rice paper being cut in half with a single knife, Concubine Dong's body was torn apart. Even though Chen Yi stopped the knife, she was still torn into two pieces of paper.

Chen Yi's expression was slightly solemn.

He originally intended to cut off the woman's arm with this knife, capture her and torture her to get everything out of her.

But I never thought that this woman was actually a paper figure.

The half-broken Concubine Dong raised her head and looked at Chen Yi. There was no trace of sadness on her face, but a graceful and gentle smile:

"What a great skill... The land of the Ming Dynasty is indeed full of talented people."

It’s not that Goryeo is without masters. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a master who was ranked among the top ten in the Central Plains Martial Arts List. But he was only a flash in the pan. Since then, her hometown has no masters who are capable of standing at the top of the Central Plains martial arts world.

Seeing that the paper figure was about to dissipate, Chen Yi asked coldly:
"Why did you want to kill Diguan?"

The beautiful woman smiled, as if full of charm. Before she was about to break, she said:

"My original body asked me to do it, how would I know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she shattered into a pile of shredded paper.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes because of her words.
