My enemies became my companions

Chapter 38: Extraterrestrial Demon
The mountain gate was opened, and tourists walked around the corpses on the ground and poured into the Thousand Lantern Temple.

Chen Yi waited until Min Ning came back and saw the drunken blush on her face.

"This knife is good."

In fact, it was more than just good. With this one strike of Min Ning, she killed Luosha Li, who was also an eighth-grade warrior. With this strike, she was basically invincible in the same realm.

"Where did this knife come from?"

Chen Yi asked after seeing her sit down.

"I learned this after practicing swordplay for many years."

After drinking, Min Ning said in a mature manner.

Of course she couldn't just say that she gained this insight from watching him kill someone in the rainy alley.

Min Ning didn’t know that if Chen Yi knew that she had figured it out within just a few days after Yu Xiang, he would be even more shocked.

He was able to achieve success in martial arts so quickly because of cheats, but Min Ning relied on his natural talent.

"Teach me." Chen Yi said.

"I want to be your disciple."

"No thanks."

Min Ning took a sip of wine and glanced at him with dissatisfaction.
"It's not easy to get martial arts without becoming a disciple."

"Aren't I supposed to help you investigate your grandfather's death? Just consider it as your reward."

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Min Ning raised his eyebrows and thought about it carefully.

"Teach me."

Chen Yi said with a smile:
"If you don't teach me, I'll sleep with you."

Hearing these shameless words, Min Ning, who had drunk a lot of wine, became much bolder and snorted and said arrogantly:

"You and I can't say who sleeps with whom."

Chen Yi burst into laughter.

She knew that she was a woman disguised as a man, but she didn't know that she knew it.

After taking another sip of wine, there was not much left in the gourd, so Min Ning said directly:
"After I went back last night, I thought about it. I can teach you even if you don't want to become my disciple, but you have to promise me one thing."

Chen Yi immediately thought of something and said:

"You're not going to attack your sister, are you? Then I'd rather not learn it."

Min Ning gritted her teeth instantly. She could never have imagined that there would be such a shameless person in the world. Such a person never used force, but just cut her flesh with a blunt knife again and again, repeatedly intimidating and coercing her.

But this person is the only one who can help her right now.

Min Ning softened his tone and said:

"One year... Don't touch my sister for one year."

Chen Yi wanted to tease her, so he asked:

"A year is a long time, and what about you?"

Min Ning's body trembled. She heard the passionate desire in Chen Yi's words and tried her best to remain calm.

"As long as you don't touch my sister, I will try to accept you..."

After she said this, her shoulders twitched. Seeing that she had spent so much effort, Chen Yi stopped teasing her and said:

"I'll go to the Thousand Lantern Temple when there are fewer people."

"Then I'll rest here for a while..."

Yin Tingxue listened to their conversation from beginning to end. The perceptive daughter of King Xiang could hear Chen Yi's lust for Min Ning, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. That was great. He really didn't like women, and he didn't like her either.

If I could please him in the future, maybe I could get my indenture contract back, and then I would be free. Not only that, but I would still be free with a clean slate.

Her thoughts were as beautiful as flowers that bloomed in an instant.

After half an hour, the number of visitors to Qiandeng Temple gradually decreased. Min Ning leaned back in her chair, half-closed her eyes, and obviously did not want to move. There was still a blush on her face.

Chen Yi took Yin Tingxue and slowly went up the mountain.

The Qiandeng Temple consists of three halls: the front, middle and back halls. Walking through the corridors between the halls, you can see oil lamps burning. Yin Tingxue saw many Taoist heavenly generals, the most eye-catching of which was a god with eyes and hands. Although it was afternoon, the lights in the corridors were still bright and prominent. After bowing in the front hall and the middle hall, the two went to the back hall. After Yin Tingxue entered the hall, he was amazed. There were long-burning lamps in front of the altar. There were nine levels of the altar, and behind the altar was Wanfu Tianzun. Yin Tingxue put his palms together and bowed.

After paying respects, Chen Yi got down to business. He showed his badge to the Taoist boy from Qiandeng Temple. Soon after, a Taoist priest came and led him into the guest room.

"But Captain Chen?"

In the guest room, a Taoist priest from Shangqing Taoism with an immortal look was sitting cross-legged in meditation. He was the elder in charge of the Shangqing Taoism and was known as Feiyuan Zhenren.

This Master Fei Yuan is very accomplished in Taoism and is said to be 110 years old now, but judging from his appearance, he looks like he is in his early 60s.

"Master, I am following the order of the Heavenly Family to investigate the truth behind the early arrival of the Day of Slaying Bandits and Eliminating Demons."

Chen Yi said directly.

"I heard about this matter when I arrived in the capital. On the way, I not only discussed it with a group of disciples, but also discussed it with several Taoists accompanying Yinjian Mountain."

Master Fei Yuan said calmly,
"Qian Hu, do you know how the Day of Slaying Bandits and Eliminating Demons came about?"

Before Chen Yi could speak, Master Fei Yuan spoke first:

"When Taizu founded the country, he conquered the capital and let his soldiers slaughter and plunder the city. More than half of the civilians in the city were killed or injured. Hundreds of thousands of wronged souls gathered into a black fog that almost covered the sky. Taizu therefore sought Taoism from Shangqing Dao and set up the Luotian Grand Ceremony to appease the dead souls. Since then, praying at the Taoist temple has become an ancestral system that has been passed down."

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

Master Fei Yuan sighed and said:
"In a year, except for the day of exterminating bandits and demons, the capital is no different from usual. Why do all these ghosts appear on the day of exterminating bandits and demons? How do they appear? Many people can't figure this out.

In fact, the answer is very simple. There is a ghost in everyone’s heart. When evil thoughts arise and evil spirits are everywhere, people become ghosts.”

After hearing this, Chen Yi confirmed:

"Master, are you saying that the capital has been filled with more evil thoughts and evil spirits than before?"

"Exactly that."

"But why are there so many evil thoughts and evil spirits these days compared to before?"

Master Fei Yuan turned his head, as if looking into the distance.

"Because of…"

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

"Extraterrestrial Demon."

Inside the Jingren Palace, a Taoist girl stood alone in front of the Queen Mother Yu Chao. She had long hair like a waterfall, a long sword at her waist, a lotus crown on her head, and eyes that were frighteningly cold, enough to remind people of the chilly spring weather on a snowy night.

Even though Queen An herself was stunningly beautiful, she couldn't help but be shocked by the woman's beauty.

The only flaw is that this Taoist nun is physically disabled and only has one arm, the right arm.

"Extraterritorial Demon... Master Zhou, what is an Extraterritorial Demon?"

Queen An collected her thoughts and asked.

"A demon that does not belong to this world, but comes from outside the Three Realms."

Zhou Yitang's tone was flat.

"In other words, the reason why the capital is full of evil thoughts and evil spirits is because of this foreign demon."

An Hou asked.

Zhou Yitong nodded slightly, her eyes drooping.

"Who is this extraterritorial demon?"

An Hou asked.

Zhou Yitang's eyes flashed, then calmed down, and said lightly:
"There are so many demons from outside the realm, who can tell them all in one sentence?"

An Hou looked puzzled, but Zhou Yitang didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, the accompanying female Taoist Lu Ying explained:
"Your Majesty, the name of the outer demons is just a general term. During the Han and Tang dynasties, Buddhism spread eastward, bringing with it the Buddhist teachings of the Western Paradise. The demons from India also came along with it. People at that time referred to Yamaraja, Asura, Garuda, etc. as outer demons."

I’m getting ready to put it up for recommendation. I read the previous text these days and found that the rhythm was not tight enough, so I revised it overnight. You can look through the first twenty chapters. I’ve added about 10,000 words, with many new plots, and also made some deletions.
