My enemies became my companions

Chapter 46 Shameless and Obscene (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"The emperor told Wu Yang, 'There is a man below me, and I want to help him. His soul is separated, and you can predict the outcome for me.'"

In front of the tomb, the Taoists stood at their respective points of the formation, and one of them chanted words to summon the soul.

There are roughly two types of Taoist soul-calling techniques, one is to call back the soul of the living, and the other is to call back the soul of the dead. The former is mostly about finding the soul of a person who has lost his soul, while the latter requires going to the Yama Palace in the underworld to worship King Yama and his generals, the Black and White Impermanence, and the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Impermanence, to invite back the people whose names are crossed out in the Book of Life and Death. Therefore, the former is often easy and the latter difficult.

"Wu Yang replied: 'Dream! It is difficult to follow the will of God. If you must divine it for me, I am afraid that I will not be able to use it again after I thank you.'"

A Taoist priest lit a candle, made hand gestures and chanted.

Yin Weiying stood in the center of the formation, holding three incense sticks and taking steps. She was wearing a Taoist robe that looked like smoke, floating among the incense.
"Wu Yang then called out:

'Soul, come back! Leave your constant dryness,
Why the four directions? Leave your happy place and stay away from the ominous place! '"

The Taoist standing in the east said loudly:
"Soul, come back! The East cannot be trusted..."

The Taoist in the south then continued:

"Soul, come back! The South cannot stop..."

"Soul, come back! The harm from the west is thousands of miles of quicksand..."

"Soul, come back! The North cannot stop..."

The two Taoists from the west and north then took over.

When the Taoist priest Sifang finished reciting, the three incense sticks in Yin Weiying's hand had burned to the middle. She stood in front of the tomb and said loudly:

"Soul, come back! You are not in heaven."

The Taoist priests behind him also shouted in unison:
"Soul, come back! Don't go to this dark city."

The incense suddenly became very popular, and the thin smoke rushed up to the sky and then sank into the earth, as if building an invisible bridge of incense to guide the three souls and seven spirits of the deceased.

………………

"It will probably take another two days."

As Yin Weiying said this, she had a slight scent of incense on her body, which was not as strong and pungent as those in Taoist temples or Buddhist monasteries. Instead, the faint scent made her look even more ethereal.

"If it were an ordinary day, it would take at least 21 days to summon the three souls and seven spirits. However, now is the day of slaying bandits and exterminating demons. Yin and Yang are mixed up, and the boundaries between the living and the dead are blurred. It only takes three days."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, while Min Ning, who was standing beside him, looked at the lonely grave surrounded by smoke, feeling lost.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yi bent his fingers and lightly flicked Min Ning's crown, making a crisp sound.

Min Ning turned around and glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

Then, she bent her fingers, thought for a moment, and then changed from bending to grabbing, and when Chen Yi was not prepared, she suddenly pulled off his hair crown.

Chen Yi felt a little pain, and when he turned around, he saw Master Min smiling and proudly tossing his hair crown up and down.

Chen Yi sighed and smiled helplessly.

Yin Weiying, who was nearby, saw this noisy scene and had a bitter look on his face.

She turned away, not wanting to look anymore.

As luck would have it, Chen Yi took a step forward, got in front of her, and said jokingly:
"Thank you very much for your help, Yin Xiangu. I will never forget your kindness."

Yin Weiying opened his eyes wide and gave him a glare:
"Shameless and obscene."

Not only did he take away the Taoist partner in the prophecy, but he also deliberately showed off in front of him. There is no greater shame than this.

Princess Jing couldn't say that she had any feelings for Min Ning. After all, the two of them had only met a few times. What's more, she was practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness Method. What she felt more was the damage to her dignity and humiliation.

Seeing her unwillingness, Chen Yi held back his laughter and said lightly:
"I told you not to worry about Min Ning."

"What if I insist on thinking about him?"

Yin Weiying laughed back.

"If you insist on thinking about her, I will think about you."

Yin Weiying was startled at first, then he lowered his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"You've missed me."

Chen Yi also laughed and said:
"It seems that the fairy lady is not very willing to do so."

Yin Weiying's face turned cold and he said:

"Willing? Willing for what? Willing to become a Taoist partner with a person who is guilty of a thousand deaths and will be punished by heaven and earth?"

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

How real her disgust was.

"Back then, we were in love, and the fairy lady even asked me to be her Taoist partner time and time again. How could you turn against me now?"

Chen Yi joked, emphasizing the word "ask".

Yin Weiying heard this and thought of that humiliating night. He got angry and said:

"Who asked you to do that? I just said that you deserve to be my Taoist partner."

"Look, isn't this admitting that you want to be my Taoist partner?"

"You, you will be killed by the disease sooner or later, and you will not die a good death!"

Yin Weiying's cheeks turned red and he said angrily.

"I'm so anxious." [Yin Weiying's negative emotion reward is three years of true energy.]

………………

After leaving Huaishui Village and riding slowly into the capital, Chen Yi could clearly feel that Min Ning was in a good mood.

She hummed ancient Yue folk songs softly all the way, her eyes bright and sharp.

Looking at Min Ning like this, Chen Yi was in a very good mood.

Now that I have obtained the Shangqing Heart Method, as long as I practice it hard, and combine it with the power of destroying wind and rain, it is still unknown who will win the next time I meet Huang Liuqing of the Bailiu Sect.

Chen Yi made a quick calculation and felt that he had about a 60% chance of defeating him. If he could defeat him, he could kill him. The people of the Bai Liu sect focused more on swordsmanship than on physical skills, and their lightness skills were extremely average, so they could not escape at all.

Arriving at the Min family, Min Ning dismounted, handed the reins to Chen Yi, and said:
"Please help me take it back to the East Factory."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, then turned his head and saw a little beggar trotting towards him.

"Sir, Lord Min, here is a letter for you."

As the little beggar said this, he handed the letter to Min Ning.

Min Ning looked at the beggar in confusion. Chen Yi looked at the beggar and said directly:

"give it to me."

The beggar hesitated for a moment.

Chen Yi put five copper coins in his hand.

The beggar quickly handed the letter to Chen Yi and turned away in a hurry.

Chen Yi opened the letter and then his face darkened.

[Captain Min, I advise you not to investigate the case of Prime Minister Zhang any further. The royal family has already made a decision on this matter. If you want to continue, you'd better be more careful when walking at night. Stay at Yuxiu Manor.]

The signature of "Yuxiu Zhuang" was left without any hesitation, which is clearly a threat or warning.

Min Ning leaned over and asked:
"what happened?"

"What Yuxiu Manor sent over is about the Xiangguo case. They warned you not to investigate the matter any further."

Min Ning's face darkened when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"So they wrote letters to threaten me!"

"What is the origin of Yuxiu Manor? I have found files about them in the East Factory. They seem to be the property of Prince Jing's Mansion. They previously sold Wushisan privately for the use of scholars and writers."

"They are now the property of Prince Jing's Mansion... but in the past, they were the property of Prime Minister Zhang. After the Prime Minister's case, they turned to Prince Jing, the brother of the previous emperor, in order to protect themselves."

Min Ning sighed and said cautiously:

"It seems that this matter... involves a lot of people. I can only make a decision after my grandfather comes back..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yi interrupted:

"Decide? How to decide? Your grandfather saw that you were scared and timid after being warned by Yuxiu Manor, so how could he tell you the truth of that year?"

Min Ning turned around and said in surprise:
"What do you want?"

"Find a time and bring people to seal off Yuxiu Manor."

"But the owner of Yuxiu Manor, Feng Ying, has King Jing behind him. If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. You are the acting governor and you can afford to offend him. But his son Feng Luo is the godson of that nameless old lady, and he has a name in the Magpie Pavilion. Don't do anything stupid!"

"Old Lady Wuming... the second-rank royal family member who guards the imperial city?"

"It's her..."

Chen Yi laughed and said:

"She has at least 100 godsons and goddaughters, if not 80. One less won't matter. Besides, she doesn't dare to kill me."

Min Ning was startled and looked at him suspiciously.

But Chen Yi acted very confidently and didn't seem to be lying.

Min Ning couldn't help but speculate.

I don’t dare to kill him...what does he rely on?
The young man looked left and right, and felt that apart from his handsome appearance, he had nothing reliable to rely on.

Could it be that... he is the Queen Mother’s lover?
Min Ning could only think wildly for a while.

Min Ning found it absurd and horrifying to think that he bullied and teased her during the day, and would be ridden and bullied by the empress dowager in the phoenix tent deep in the palace at night.

Chen Yi noticed the change in Min Ning's expression and thought she was worried, so he said:

"Ever since the attack, I have wanted to investigate Yuxiu Manor. Now is the perfect opportunity. I can do two things at once. It's easy and simple."

As he spoke, he looked at Min Ning, raised the corner of his mouth and said teasingly:

“They dare to threaten you?

I am the only one who can threaten you and your sister."

Min Ning was stunned when he heard this, then he took a deep breath and cursed:
"Shameless and obscene."
