My enemies became my companions

Chapter 343 The Root of Change! (Additional Two-in-One)

Let’s go back to the time before a stick of incense.

Walking down the second floor to the so-called guest room, Chen Yi chanted the spell to open his third eye and looked around.

There was nothing weird in the house.

This small inn probably wouldn't have any secret technique that could block the Heavenly Eye, so Chen Yi closed his Heavenly Eye and didn't doubt it any more.

When Yin Weiying saw that he had no other spells except looking around with his third eye, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was wasting God's gifts.

It is obvious that he has reached the Golden Core level. Not to mention learning how to be a swordsman like a swordsman who can fly three thousand miles at a time, but it would be good for him to control the Five Thunders with one hand and the Samadhi Fire with the other.

The nun felt a little envious when she thought about it, and even sighed that Chen Yi's cultivation was not as good as hers.

It was a pity that she had practiced Taoism for more than ten years but had no place to display it because of her lack of skills.

Unlike a warrior who becomes more proficient in one skill as he climbs the martial arts ladder, in Taoism and Buddhism, the more advanced one's level is, the more varied the techniques one learns become.

So when it comes to fighting, before the sixth stage of Nascent Soul, everyone has their own specialties, but after Nascent Soul, Taoist and Buddhist practitioners are often better than warriors.

There were often rumors in the mountains that a Yuanying realm warrior had a feud with a third-rank warrior, and asked the gods to kill the third-rank warrior with a dying blow.

It can be seen that the Nascent Soul is a watershed. If one enters the Nascent Soul stage and cultivates for hundreds or thousands of years, 50 to 60 percent of the time he will be ranked among the immortals.

Yin Weiying, who would regret it, would often wonder, what would have happened if he had reached the Nascent Soul stage when he was in the underground palace?

Even if he couldn't resist the terrifying pressure from Tushan, he might still be able to complete the longevity path. After all, he wouldn't be dragged down by him...

Recalling that time, the nun felt extremely confused.

She raised her head and looked at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi turned around and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." Afraid of being accused of hiding something from him, Yin Weiying added, "It's just a small matter."

There were many things she dared only complain about in her heart, but not out loud.

Chen Yi didn't know what she was thinking. He could only sense that she was a little depressed, but he had no time to care about anything else at the moment.

There were footsteps outside the door.

The crazy sutra master went out for a while, observed for a while, then came back and pushed the door open.

"Have you figured out anything?" Chen Yi asked directly.

The Crazy Sutra Master rubbed his beard, shook his head for a while, and then said, "From here to the shopkeeper's room, there are a total of 123 steps. There are three traps along the way, but they are all the same, nothing more than a rope here, an iron basin there, and it seems that there are flying needles in the dark."

It sounds like these are the methods used in the underworld to defend against martial artists.

Chen Yi paused and asked again: "Anything else you found?"

The Crazy Sutra Master moved his nose, made a sniffing gesture, and said, "There are little ghosts here."

"Raising a brat?"

"Yes, it is to use the souls of the dead to raise a ghost child. This method is usually used by families who have lost their children. I have saved so many people and have seen a lot of things." The crazy sutra master said with disdain.

Now that he had done some investigation and was almost ready, Chen Yi had a general idea in mind.

It is a good thing to have a basis before taking action. If you have no basis in mind and rush forward recklessly, you will inevitably capsize in the ditch in the end. Chen Yi will not do this unless he has no other choice.

Touching the Embroidered Spring Sword on his waist, Chen Yi nodded to the Crazy Scripture Master.

The crazy scribe had long wanted to kill people indiscriminately. If it weren't for Chen Yi's suggestion, he would not have been willing to waste his energy to explore everywhere.

Chen Yi turned his head and looked at Yin Weiying, and asked softly:

"You stay here. The talismans have been set up everywhere."

According to the description of the Crazy Sutra Master, there were traps on the road leading to the shopkeeper's room. Chen Yi couldn't help but worry that the female priest who lacked experience in the martial arts world would fall into the trap.

Although it's not that I can't protect her, I have to be careful. Instead of doing that, it's better to leave a trace of sword intent on her and let her stay here.

Yin Weiying had no objection to Chen Yi's arrangement. She lowered her eyes for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Then you should go early and come back early."

She didn't say this subconsciously, but spoke after careful consideration.

Chen Yi nodded, closed the door and walked out. The moment his figure disappeared, Yin Weiying breathed a sigh of relief. When he was around, her chest felt heavy and her hair seemed to stand on end.

She felt a little more relaxed when he was away or asleep.

But not long after he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the dark and cramped environment around him, as if ghost lights would be lit at any time. Yin Weiying got goose bumps and looked outside the door involuntarily, hoping that he would come back soon.

In the narrow gray and black corridor, Chen Yi and the Crazy Scripture Master walked one after the other.

Through the gaps in the railings, you can see the scene on the first floor of the inn.

I couldn't see it when I was standing on the first floor not long ago, but now looking from the second floor, I can actually see a strange white mist floating in the food.

This looks like the meal is piping hot and fragrant.

But if you look more closely, it looks more like white smoke from burning at a grave.

When I smell the white air, I start to have an appetite for the food...

This white gas only appears on meat, but not even a trace of it on vegetarian dishes.

"That is turbid air... Such thick turbid air." The crazy sutra master transmitted his voice into the secret room, and there was a sound of clicking tongues.

"Turbid air?"

"Meat itself has turbid qi, while vegetables themselves have pure qi. Turbid qi will give rise to troubles, and troubles will confuse the three souls and seven spirits."

When others have questions, the Crazy Sutra Master always tells them everything he knows.
"Buddhism emphasizes the elimination of worries and abstaining from meat, but Taoism emphasizes seeking the way of the world and finding the 'way' from worries, so except for the Quanzhen Sect, meat is not prohibited."

After the crazy scribe's words circled in his mind, Chen Yi finally understood.

In this inn, as long as you don't touch meat, you will not get into trouble, no matter how tempting the meat is. Just like the wild mushrooms in the mountains, the brighter and more lush they are, the more likely they are to be poisonous.

Through the railings, you can see that the waiter has already gone to prepare the meal.

In order to avoid alarming the shopkeeper, Chen Yi did not bother to pay any more attention to him, but walked slowly along the corridor.

Now that I have entered the ghost town, in addition to passing through here to reach the ghost town, I also want to find out where the source of all the changes is.

According to existing intelligence, the ghost town is related to the old man named Li who rescued Deng Ai.

At the same time, according to the waiter, it is related to someone with the surname Song.

The two of them bypassed the three traps mentioned by the crazy sutra master.

When he reached the door, Chen Yi saw the demon inside through the tiny crack in the door.

Arms as glittering as jade, a body as soft as a baby's, hands as sticky as if wrapped in amniotic fluid...

And on top of this body, there are strangely two adult heads!
Chen Yi didn't react much at first. With his current strength, no matter what kind of strange monsters or ghosts they were, it was not worth making a fuss about.

The two-headed shopkeeper seemed to be chanting scriptures, and a subtle sound could be heard.

When he recited the last sentence, he closed the scripture and raised his head slightly.

Chen Yi's pupils shrank suddenly.

Those two faces...he had seen them!

And the last words of the two-headed shopkeeper happened to be heard at this time: "...the great Buddha of Ming will be born and will surely restore the world of ignorance."

In an instant, Chen Yi seemed to have caught something.

No wonder the Four Heavenly Kings on the mural appear as females...it turns out they are the Four Holy Ladies of the Demon Cult!
And this ghost town is probably filled with the souls of the evil cult members.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, he no longer hesitated and slowly opened the door.

With a creaking sound, the two faces slowly raised up in confusion.

When they saw the figure in front of them, the two faces first froze, then became confused, and then their eyes widened in unison, their lips humming.

The next moment, they shouted in a heart-wrenching voice:

"It's him, it's him! The one with the surname Song!

Kill our people, kill our people! "

Chen Yi curled his lips and smiled. His elongated shadow in front of the two-headed shopkeeper looked like the reflection of the Demon Lord.

So much time has passed that Chen Yi can no longer remember their names.

I only remember that I was disguised as the evil cult spy Song Shengbao.

The two members of the evil sect accompanied him to escort Min Ning out of the city, intending to execute him on the spot.

After that, the two members of the evil sect were killed by himself.

At this moment, Chen Yi finally figured out the origin of this ghost town.

It came from a member of the evil cult who was killed by himself in the capital!
No wonder this ghost town didn't appear in my previous life...

It turned out to be a... butterfly effect caused by some unexpected circumstances!

When the Crazy Sutra Master saw this sudden change, he was confused and surprised. Even he could not have expected that the two-headed shopkeeper would be so afraid of Chen Yi.

"Song Shengbao, Song Shengbao!"

The two-headed shopkeeper pointed at Chen Yi and shouted as if he was identifying an evil ghost.

His voice rose and fell, sometimes high, sometimes low, from the initial horror and doubt, it became increasingly high-pitched and gloomy, filled with heart-wrenching pain and anger.

The two heads opened their bloody mouths, and evil spirit gushed out, falling on the wooden board and starting to rot and burn.

"Song, Sheng, Bao!"

The sound is like a big bell.

In a rage, the two-headed shopkeeper shot out like lightning, and wood chips flew everywhere where he had been standing.

The two-headed shopkeeper rushed over in horror at an astonishing speed, and rushed towards Chen Yi with murderous intent.

But at the moment when he was about to get close, Chen Yi casually stepped back.

The evil spirit almost brushed past the hem of his clothes, but Chen Yi only moved one foot slightly, while the other foot remained firmly in place.

The attack missed, and the two-headed shopkeeper immediately turned around, waved his arm, and the murderous energy exploded like an explosion.

The evil aura that swept over was as black as ink, and so strong that one could see the hatred of the two-headed shopkeeper. The evil aura was shaped like a full moon!
However, Chen Yi did not draw his knife. Instead, he took advantage of the Buddha's light from the red gold relic and punched out heavily!
The full moon was shattered in an instant!
The Buddha's light then burned the two-headed shopkeeper's body, and both of his mouths let out terrible and strange screams.

"Ahhh!"

There are three tones in total, one from the mouth on the right and two from the mouth on the left.

When the waiter saw the situation on the second floor, he immediately let go of Duan Lang's soul and was about to fly up.

"Om!"

The crazy sutra master shouted loudly in Sanskrit, and the sound waves spread out with him as the center. He then jumped up and then struck the waiter with his Zen stick!

Even though the waiter raised his arms to block the heavy blow, his whole body was shaken and he fell heavily downwards.

On the other side, the two-headed shopkeeper was furious, and the murderous energy gathered like a cannonball, shooting out with a bang.

However, it was the same punch.

The shell hit the fist and was instantly reduced to ashes.

But Chen Yi still downplayed it, the whole process was like a cat playing with mouse.

Fear appeared on the two-headed shopkeeper's face, and his movements slowed down.

This is the step that slowed it down.

Chen Yi's figure flashed, and in an instant he came to the right side of the two-headed shopkeeper.

A punch was thrown from right to left, breaking through the dust waves and causing wood chips to fly!

The head on the right first had a distorted face, and as the force was transmitted, the head on the left also had a hideous face, and the two heads collided with each other like dominoes.

Then he fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up again.

Chen Yi shook his wrist and slowly walked closer.

Before the two-headed shopkeeper could make a final counterattack, a talisman was thrown down.

The two-headed shopkeeper was frozen in place, both of his faces pale.

"Song...Shengbao..."

There was a tremor in his voice.

"Your waiter said that this town is thanks to the man named Li."

Chen Yi didn't say much nonsense, but just asked calmly:
"Tell me, what's the matter with the surname Li?"

The plain question highlighted the man's indifference at the moment, like a god of death.

The two-headed shopkeeper was so frightened that he could not control himself. The mouth on the left could not hold back and he said:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me again! The one with the surname Li, the one with the surname Li is Elder Li, the Elder Li Yangong of my Holy Church who is in charge of punishment!"

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and continued to ask:
"After Li Yangong came to the underworld, he was highly valued by King Chujiang, right?"

"Yes, yes! Elder Li was appointed as the Imperial Pen Judge and was deeply trusted by King Chujiang. Thanks to this, our Holy Church was able to settle down here."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

After Elder Li's death, he went to the underworld along with a group of members of the Demon Sect. Later, he was reused by King Chujiang, who was possessed by the previous emperor.

Thanks to Elder Li’s important position, this ghost town was able to prosper. Thanks to Elder Li’s important position, Deng Ai was rescued from the deep hell by him.

The puzzle seemed to be gradually solved.

Why did a ghost town suddenly appear...

Why has the underworld changed so much...

Why is the direction different from the previous life...

When it comes down to it, the source of everything is the butterfly effect of taking Yin Tingxue away!
In the previous life, I did not take Yin Tingxue with me, so not all the members of the Demon Sect died in the capital, so the ghost town did not appear, and Deng Ai would not appear at the gate of hell...

It might even be the case...

Yin Weiying did not appear in his memory either!
Chen Yi suddenly realized and laughed.

The root of all that I had been searching for turned out to be myself!

And just because he took Yin Tingxue away, everything started to surge undercurrents.

Just like a small butterfly flapping its wings, the past is gone and the entire underworld has undergone earth-shaking changes!
