My enemies became my companions

Chapter 398 I am a pig

While Lu Ying was lost in thought, there was a sudden thud.

She was hit on the forehead and hissed in pain. She glared at Chen Yi and said, "You interrupted my train of thought."

"I'm interrupting you now. Why do you keep thinking so much? You're still so young, and you keep thinking about it." Chen Yi didn't feel guilty at all for interrupting her thoughts. Instead, he had a smiling look on his face.

Her thoughts were interrupted, Lu Ying looked unhappy, she snorted coldly:
"You said I was young, but you don't know what I'm thinking."

"What are you thinking about?"

"It would be fine if I wasn't the one going to Chongyang to view the sword pond, but I am the one going. Everyone says that my heart of Taoism is as strong as a crane, but if I don't get the predestined Dharma, it will bring shame to Master and disappoint everyone."

When Lu Ying spoke, there was worry on his face.

Chen Yi said: "Are you worried about this?"

Hearing his tone, Lu Ying stiffened his neck and retorted, "Is it not possible? Why can't I worry about this?"

After the words fell, countless words surged in Lu Ying's mind. In an instant, she rehearsed the quarrel several times. No matter what Chen Yi said, she would refute it one by one.

"Why be sad about the passing of time?"

"I just..." Lu Ying hadn't finished his words.

There was a crash.

What Lu Ying didn't expect was that Chen Yi took out the pig face mask and put it directly on her head.

He pointed at her nose and laughed, "You are a pig, don't think so much."

Lu Ying pulled up his mask and said angrily:
"I'm not a pig."

Chen Yi said slowly: "What's the point of thinking about these things? Things will work out when the time comes. Although I sometimes think a lot, I never like to think too much."

Lu Ying was about to refute, but heard another sentence.

"When it comes to practicing Taoism, what matters most is to let things happen naturally, and what matters most is to be careful not to overdo it or underdo it." Chen Yi said calmly.

Lu Ying was stunned for a moment and couldn't help muttering to himself.

She is now worried about this and that, but has no solution. Isn't that too much?

The master had said this before, but although Lu Ying had heard it, he had never understood it. Now, after hearing what Chen Yi, the fake Taoist priest, said, he actually had some understanding...

Could it be that the best fortune is really correct, and it is beneficial to see the great man, and he is really the so-called great man?

But I'm still angry!
Chen Yi ignored her and turned around to ask someone in the city about the location of Wangyue Tower.

"Walk down this street, turn left, and when you see the Renhe Pawn Shop, walk another hundred steps forward and cross the third alley. It's there."

After asking about the location of Wangyue Tower, Chen Yi strode away with Lu Ying.

After turning several alleys, walking through several alleys, and asking along the way, I finally turned into a downhill road and could see a corner of the house from afar.

There are pavilions, towers, carved railings and painted buildings. After all, this Shantong City was once prosperous, and it is not like the capital city where every inch of land is valuable. It is called a brothel, but it is not a single building, but a spacious garden courtyard.

The more elegant the courtyard is, the more literati, merchants and officials will be attracted to it.

Chen Yi was looking towards the Moon-Watching Tower when suddenly someone carrying a load came towards him on the roadside.

"Selling pancakes, selling pancakes."

It turned out to be a vendor selling pancakes on the streets.

Although Shantong City is prosperous, it is not as prosperous as the capital. Merchants have to run around the city selling all kinds of food with their loads on their shoulders.

The alley was narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through. There was a way out behind the peddler, so he just had to step back and make way. So Chen Yi led Lu Ying away in big strides.

However, the trafficker did not give way and walked straight towards them.

Qin Tu was carrying a shoulder pole and yelling, "Hey, sir, make way, make way, forget it, I'll make way."

Chen Yi stopped and Lu Ying frowned slightly.

Qin Tu turned sideways, pointed one end of the load at Chen Yi, and walked slowly towards him, as if he was making way.

But the alley was so narrow that there was not enough space for people to pass by, but Qin Tu still walked straight forward.

Just as he was about to pass, Qin Tu stepped on a stone, bent his waist, and suddenly shook the carrying pole.

"Ouch."

With the sound of wrestling, the pancake pole shook.

Under the white cloth, the pancake was boiling hot and steaming, and there was a hot stone pot inside, which was just thrown in Chen Yi's face.

Lu Ying couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. If it really hit him, he was afraid that his whole face would be burned and fall off.

Chen Yi remained calm. He suddenly put his arm around Lu Ying's waist, holding up the hem of her clothes that covered her hips and legs with his palm. He raised his other hand, stopped the carrying pole with one finger, and then pressed it down.

The carrying pole fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Someone held down her hips and Lu Ying's pretty face became hot. Before she could react, Chen Yi jumped with her.

Qin Tu only saw Chen Yi's sleeves swinging past him in an instant and heading out of the alley.

Seeing the two people going away, he asked attentively:
"Sir, would you like to buy a pancake?"

The man turned around, glanced at him, smiled, and walked away.

After the people left, Qin Tu spat and said:

"What a pretentious Taoist priest."

Then he picked up the shoulder pole and walked for a while.

Finally turned into the alley.

A county clerk who had been waiting for a long time stood there and walked over to ask, "What's going on?"

Qin Tu replied: "He is a martial artist, and it seems he is not from Mount Taihua."

"Do you know his martial arts skills?"

"I can't tell. I scared him away after just one move. I asked him if he wanted to buy some cakes, but he didn't dare to come."

As Qin Tu spoke, he habitually gave a clerk-like smile, but this time he was very proud in front of his colleagues.

"I dare to come."

A strange voice suddenly came from his ear, and Qin Tu froze in place.

He turned his head and saw the figure.

Chen Yizhen looked at him with a smile.

The clerk screamed and hid in the yard with his head buried.

The sharp sound was like a declaration of the start of a competition. Qin Tu's eyes suddenly became sharp, his fingers hooked into claws, and he swept across fiercely.

The claws were sharp, making a hissing sound. They were going to smash Chen Yi's neck with one claw, but Qin Tu saw that when they were so close that they couldn't get any closer, the man twisted his neck backwards extremely coincidentally, and the claw missed and hit the stone wall of the alley.

Bricks and stones collapsed, smoke and dust rolled, and stone chips hit Qin Tu's face. He would not give up, so he hooked his fingers into claws again, bent over and was ready to pounce.

Just at this moment, a fist reached his abdomen, which was stiff as he bent over.

The force was neither too strong nor too weak, just enough to interrupt the stress in his whole body. His internal energy was instantly disrupted, and he fell backwards and hit the ground.

Qin Tu was about to stand up when he saw a sword pressed against his neck.

"Sir, please spare my life, please spare my life! I am an official, I work for the government!"

"Then why did you try me?"

"I heard rumors that the Chongyang Temple in Shantong City is going to leave its secret realm, so there have been a lot of people in the city these days. For the safety of the people in the city, we have to monitor suspicious people."

"I'm suspicious?"

"The hero has been in and out of the city many times, and he wears a Taoist robe. If you are not suspicious, then who would be suspicious?"

"I'm suspicious."

Chen Yi could not hear any problem in his words. When he heard Qin Tu mention the secret realm, he took the opportunity to ask him to see if he knew more.

He asked, "Do you know what is going on in Chongyang Guanjianchi Secret Realm?"

The sword came closer, Qin Tu broke out in a cold sweat and said:

"I know that this Taoist temple was built when the previous dynasty was founded. It was modeled after the Chongyang Palace of Quanzhen Sect, hence the name Chongyang Temple. Shantong City is already a mountainous area, and Chongyang Temple is even more so, almost reaching the sky. It is said that there is a thunder pool at the top of the mountain where there are clouds and thunder. Thunder is entrenched in it like a snake's nest. Chongyang Temple would throw those peach wood magic swords and money swords into it to temper them with thunder, hence the name Thunder Sword Washing Pool."

"These are all rumors on the street. Tell me something I don't know."

"Well... about seventy years ago, the Sword Emperor of Loulan and the Sword Demon Wu Buyu fought a duel on the top of Chongyang Temple. Storytellers said that the battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was shaking. Wu Buyu became the best in the world in one battle, while the Sword Emperor of Loulan was seriously injured and retreated. After the battle between the two, for some unknown reason, the head of Chongyang Temple sealed the Lei Xiao Sword Washing Pool, and it has been a forbidden area since then."

"Seal it up... Did the aftermath of their battle lead to some extraordinary existence?"

"Sir, I don't know. I'm just a minor official."

"Loulan Sword Emperor, this name sounds familiar, who is it?"

With a sword at his throat, Qin Tu said in a trembling voice: "The top ten swordsman in the world is his master!"

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the martial arts world, there are many masters, and talented people emerge in every generation. The Loulan Sword Emperor may have been famous for a time, but that is now the past. He has become an old calendar that white-haired old men use to curse the younger generations. But the old calendar is still the old calendar, and it is no longer the martial arts world of their generation.

Having asked all the questions he wanted to ask, Chen Yi retracted his sword, turned around and strode away.

After seeing the person completely gone, Qin Tu waited for a while, stomped his feet and cursed:

"You're lucky, little bastard. You caught me by surprise. The next time I see you, I'll see if you're so lucky!"

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

When Chen Yi returned to the alley, he saw Lu Ying who had been waiting for a while.

The eldest sister waited in boredom, kicking the stones on the ground with her feet. She saw Chen Yi coming and asked, "Is it done?"

"It's done. It's just a small matter."

Chen Yi said casually and walked past her.

But the senior sister has something to say.

Pressing the buttocks that Chen Yi had hit and touched, Lu Ying was slightly annoyed and said loudly:

"Men and women should not touch each other. Why did you press me there for no reason?"

"I was just kind enough to help you hold it down to prevent you from exposing yourself." Chen Yi said with a smile, "You don't think I care about you, do you? With your small body."

Lu Ying paused for a moment, then looked down. His vision was almost unobstructed and he could see two feet directly.

Being looked down upon like this, Lu Ying felt sad and said, "I am a Taoist priest, I don't breastfeed children!"

"So I don't care about you."

Chen Yi waved his hand in disdain.

Although Lu Ying is the senior sister, she is not very old. Seeing this scene, she felt even more angry. She said:
"It's just fine that I don't care. Who is as dissolute as you, a scoundrel..."

But this response sounds a bit weak...

Isn't it just to prove that you are not worthy of others' attention? How can this be considered a counterattack?
Chen Yi argued with her: "I just look down on those who have no body."

Lu Ying racked his brains for a moment, and after thinking hard for a while, he shot back, "You, your concubine... No, Junior Sister is even smaller than me, and you look down on her, right? I'll tell her later!"

Chen Yi froze for a moment. If he really asked Lu Ying to go back and tell the little fox, he was afraid that the little fox would cry again.

So he said, "Okay, okay, I love you."

After saying that, Chen Yi looked Lu Ying up and down seriously.

She had an oval face and long hair tied up like a waterfall, with some hair ends lingering on her cheeks, which made her look more girlish. She was only a few years older than Yin Tingxue, and was a pretty beauty, but she hadn't grown up yet. But when she grew up, she would definitely be a beauty of genius.

"Just like me."

Lu Ying snorted coldly. She felt that she had won the argument this time and raised her chin proudly.

But when she came to her senses and met Chen Yi's eyes, Lu Ying shuddered. She had never been looked at by a man in such a scrutinizing way.

Then I thought he was a pervert...

Lu Ying, who thought he had won the argument just now, was shocked when he realized what was happening.

If he loves me, wouldn't I be miserable?!
I won the argument, but it seems I didn’t win…

Chen Yi was walking when he was suddenly pulled from behind.

Turning back, I saw Lu Ying said in a muffled voice: "No, you can't care about me."

"Oh why?"

"Because I..."

Lu Ying didn't know what reason to give, so he could only pull down the mask:
“…I’m a pig.”

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

There is a lot of free time in the mountains. The Taoists do not need delicious food or fine clothes, and they do not have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt. What they do most is discuss Taoism.

Now, the news about the secret realm of Chongyang Temple has spread far and wide. Countless Taoists have come here to stay and naturally discuss Taoism and debate scriptures.

After this discussion on Taoism in Mount Taihua, all the Taoists were settled in the houses at the foot of the mountain, while Yin Weiying, the goddess of Taihua who presided over the discussion, went up the mountain alone to report back to her elders.

Since its founding thousands of years ago, Mount Taihua has accepted very few disciples. Even the number of outer disciples is no more than thirty. It can be said to be a small sect in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in contrast to its size, there are the Taihua Goddesses who have been ranked among the immortals in Mount Taihua for generations and have ascended to heaven in broad daylight.

It can be said that a mountain is not high, but its magic lies in the presence of immortals.

Yin Weiying climbed up the stairs and finally saw Master Wei, who is now the deputy head and guardian of Taihua Mountain. She has white hair and a youthful face, kind eyes, and is wearing a green and yellow robe. From a distance, she looks like a standing pine tree, and she truly has the air of an immortal.

"I have heard someone report your theory of the Dao, 'When the rush rises, the fullness will flow', not bad, not bad, Yu Zhen was right about you."

Facing Master Wei's praise, Yin Weiying responded calmly:

"It's just the words of a child. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Why are you refusing like that?" Sister Wei paused and asked with a questioning look in her eyes, "Then Chen Yi, do you really regard it as a cauldron?"

This rumor had already been heard on Mount Taihua, and all the teachers and leaders were amazed by it. After several exchanges, they sighed inwardly.

It was because she wanted to take a new path, not the old path of falling in love first and then breaking up.

Because of this, Master Wei had high expectations for her. If she really found a new way, Taihua Mountain would have another way to become an immortal.

Yin Weiying smiled and said, "Monks do not tell lies."

"Okay, okay, Wan'er, don't hide anymore, look at your senior sister's demeanor." Senior Sister Wei showed admiration on her face and shouted towards the bamboo forest behind her.

I saw something like a green ball rolling through the bamboo forest, bamboo leaves falling rustling, and a young girl with a pigtail jumping out.

Yin Weiying looked at her and couldn't help but smile. Wan'er was the happy person on the mountain and also the daughter of Master Wei.

"Sister, sister, you are amazing. I saw those idiots staring with their eyes wide open, and they kept muttering as they walked." Wan'er smiled admiringly, "You are so generous. I knew you looked down on that Captain Chen."

"I've never looked down on it." Yin Weiying said.

"Yes, if he had taken a fancy to him, he would not be Dinglu." Wan'er spoke quickly, "By the way, tell the outer disciples to pay attention to any rumors about chivalrous knights in the martial arts world. There seem to be several cases recently."

Sister Wei was puzzled and asked, "Wei Ying, why are you so concerned about Captain Chen?"

"I'm not concerned, I'm just giving you a casual order. After all, you're a cauldron."

Wan'er said at this time: "There have been several rumors about knights in the past six months. I wonder if Chen Qianhu is one of them."

Then, the nun turned her head to look at Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, is there anyone inside with another woman?"

Wan Er scratched her head and said, "It seems not."

"Then there is no him."

Yin Weiying smiled indifferently and left without looking back.

Seeing the temperament that seemed to be accompanied by free and easy clouds and wild cranes, Wan'er's eyes widened:
"Mom, I want to be the Goddess of Taihua in the future..."

The nun's figure disappeared in the beautiful mountains and forests. After walking for a while, she returned to her boudoir.

Yin Weiying pushed the door open, slowly closed it, and fell silent.

She took off the hairpin with cloud pattern from her hair and clenched it in her hand.

The boudoir was quiet, reflecting the tranquility and inaction in the Taoist scriptures. To prevent the practitioner from having distracting thoughts, there were no gold, silver or jade ornaments, and it was extremely simple.

If the six dusts are not pure, they will breed inner demons. Only by being pure can one attain immortality. The layout of the boudoir is based on this principle.

But a tear broke the tranquility of the boudoir.

"You...why haven't you come yet..."

Yin Weiying grunted, casually took off his Taoist robe, and threw his face onto the bed.

She buried her face in the quilt.

Not only that, she rolled up the quilt into the shape of a person and slapped it hard, as if to hit someone.
"You said you would be my golden boy."

"You don't keep your word!"

"I've said so many sweet words to you, but you still don't come. Didn't you say you like my taste?"

Yin Weiying scolded him several times in a row, and then, as if he had no strength left, he held the quilt in his arms and curled up.

She kept herself depressed for a while.

Then, as if she had discovered some secret, she raised her head suddenly.
"I see. Are you going to see Tingxue instead of me?!"

Yin Weiying hugged the quilt and muttered:

"What's so good about her? She's thinner and shorter than me. You obviously like me the most, but you don't come to see me first..."

The boudoir was quiet, and apart from Yin Weiying's mumbling, there was no response.

After a while,
dong dong...

Yin Weiying, who was still in a trance, immediately jumped up, his face changed drastically, he put on a Taoist robe, and returned to his otherworldly and indifferent look.

Yin Weiying opened the door and saw Wan'er's little face.

Wan'er said, "Sister, there is a response to the matter of Chongyang Temple's secret realm. Chongyang Temple's Master Jiang Xin invited us to Shantong City for a banquet tomorrow to discuss in detail, and he also wants to introduce a distinguished guest to us."

Yin Weiying took the invitation and said, "Just for this, you bothered me, your senior sister. You are such a girl."

Wan'er smiled broadly and happily.

"Go back quickly."

"Yes... Senior Sister, you are so calm. I was so excited when I heard the secret realm was opened. I don't know when I can be like you."

After a while, Wan'er's face disappeared from the nun's sight.

Yin Weiying closed the door, threw off his Taoist robe, and jumped back onto the bed.
"I want to kill the red dragon, why don't you come?"

Sunlight filtered through the window, the warm light illuminating a small corner where paper money, paper wedding dresses, and other funeral items such as paper towers were piled up. The eldest lady who was preparing these at the time was thinking that if anything happened to Chen Yi, she would burn the thing.

When she becomes an immortal, she will go find him, but he wants to wait.

In order to prevent him from being lonely, there were two beautifully painted paper dolls inside as concubines for him...

There will be an extra update tonight, but it will be at 12:00 p.m.
