My enemies became my companions

Chapter 54: It's just fake

After last night, Chen Yi finally gathered enough true energy for 150 years.

Thinking of giving her a wake-up call, but when the time came, Chen Yi still hesitated.

Although she had to sleep, there had to be a reason, so Chen Yi deliberately left the door open for her, placed a pass in the house, some silver needles and a silver makeup knife, and deliberately unlocked the cabinet that contained her maid contract, waiting for her to take action.

"Hiss...what a beast."

Thinking of this, Chen Yi pressed his forehead and cursed himself.

Min Ning's words left a mark in Chen Yi's heart. He had done so many things to settle scores, use intimidation and inducement that he almost forgot that he still had a conscience. If Min Ning hadn't said it, Yin Tingxue might have suffered last night. Once she said it and exposed the truth, he began to hesitate.

Why is this so?
Because Chen Yi suddenly found that he was not that bad... and she, she was as fragile as a fleeting flower.

When he arrived at the East Factory, Chen Yi became troubled by another matter.

"The Prime Minister's Case..."

Chen Yi rubbed his eyebrows.

Queen An issued an oral order to investigate the case of the Prime Minister herself, which was clearly intended to put herself in danger.

As a major case during the 46-year reign of the previous emperor, the Prime Minister's case involved Lord Lin and Prince Jing... Is it so easy to find out the truth?
In other words, it is not difficult to find out the truth, but it is extremely difficult to make the truth be found out.

In particular, this case concerns the royal family and the death of the Empress Dowager...so many conflicts of interest are involved.

"Tsk, let's just go all the way."

Chen Yi slammed the table and made a decision.

He had no intention of investigating the case, but he did have the intention of using the investigation to bring down the Lin Party and Prince Jing's Mansion, and his intention was very big.

Moreover, it is estimated that Prince Jing's Mansion is already setting up a killing plan for itself because of the incident at Yuxiu Manor.

This time, they could use the Prime Minister case to force the Prince Jing's Mansion into a corner and lure the snake out of its hole.

"But where should we lead Prince Jing's Mansion to?"

Chen Yi didn't think that Huang Liuqing would be the only expert sent into the killing game at Prince Jing's Mansion.

If you really think that there is only Huang Liuqing, then you are underestimating the foundation of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Although the Empress Dowager is now in power and the Imperial Observatory is in charge of the Spring and Autumn Register, all the masters above the fifth rank in the capital have either returned to the royal family or secluded themselves in the streets. However, Prince Jing is the younger brother of the late emperor after all, and even if the masters serving him are not as good as those of the royal family, they are still the second best in the capital.

Chen Yi calculated that there would be at least three fifth-grade masters, and there might even be a fourth-grade one.

To break this killing situation, we must take advantage of the situation.

"Where to lead, and whose influence to borrow?"

Chen Yi couldn't help but stand up and pace.

Suddenly, he thought of the map of monsters in the capital given by Governor Wu, and then thought of August 30th, the third year of Huanglong in Dayu.

"On August 30th, the third year of Huanglong in Dayu...

There is an evil dragon in the north of Beijing.
That night, Jian Jia hung his sword and slashed the dragon! "

Chen Yi suddenly understood and started laughing.

Jingwang Mansion, please invite three fifth-rank masters,

I would like to invite a swordsman from Yinjian Mountain who is ranked ninth on the martial arts list. Is that too much?

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

The evil aura grew heavier, and thick clouds and fog gathered over the sky above Huaishui Village.

Yin Weiying gasped and slowly stood up from the bed. Her heart had never been at peace during these days of summoning the soul.

To summon the soul, one must call back the soul of the deceased from the ghost realm of Fengdu, and cross the barrier between yin and yang, life and death. In this process, the soul-summoning formation is like a boat, and the soul-summoner is like the person who conducts the ferryman.

The person who is extradited has naturally one foot in the ghost realm of Fengdu, which makes him half alive and half dead, just like he has the ability to see the world of the living and the world of the dead.

Yin Weiying put on a Taoist robe, picked up her whisk, and slowly stepped out of the door. The scene before her eyes was different from what ordinary people saw. People saw green grass and blooming flowers everywhere, all flourishing, but the grass Yin Weiying saw was heartbreak grass and the flower was red spider lily.

At this time, fellow Taoists from Shangqing Dao also woke up one after another from the homes of the villagers where they were staying. Most of them had pale faces and looked listless. The scene of the interweaving of yin and yang was really unbearable to watch for long.

Yin Weiying took a deep breath, turned to the crowd and said:
"It's the last day."

In the past two days, they have called back three souls, and Min He has taken shape, leaving only seven spirits. The seven spirits correspond to the seven emotions of human beings, namely joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire. When the soul caller calls back the seven spirits, he will inevitably be disturbed by them, and then he will be deeply trapped in the ghost realm of Fengdu and unable to extricate himself, thus turning from a ferryman into a drowning person. The soul caller has put himself in the trap and completely turned into a dead person. Therefore, this last day is also the most dangerous day. After the soul caller is done, there are only seven days left to keep vigil, and there is nothing dangerous in these seven days.

Everyone took a deep breath and turned their eyes to Yin Weiying. She was the main summoner of souls and had practiced the supreme method of forgetting emotions. She would not be easily moved by emotions, so this last day should be fine.

To ease the tense atmosphere, the young Taoist nun who was familiar with Yin Weiying said:
"Don't panic, everyone. This last day will be fine. Just like what Li He, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, wrote:
"I have a magic trick that can't be used, the world will be bright once the rooster crows."

What's more, we still have Fellow Daoist Yin here, so are we afraid that the name of the Taihua Goddess won't be enough to hold the fort?"

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and agreed:
"That's exactly the truth. Fellow Daoist Yin has a firm mind and is practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions. I'm afraid that only Lu Ying, who made a sensation at the Qingjiang Sermon Conference, can be compared to him."

"You mean, the sword-armored disciple? Lu Ying, who has a 'heart as good as a crane'?"

"Exactly."

"Although her teachings are original, they are not comparable to those of Fellow Daoist Yin. I dare to say that they are just a small witch compared to a great witch."

"Haha, no matter what, at her age, she is very talented. Grandmaster Qi also commented that she is the most talented one. She will be famous in the future. But what Junior Brother said is also true. I am being too arrogant to compare her with the Goddess Taihua."

As they discussed, everyone's mood gradually calmed down, except Yin Weiying, who felt complicated and uneasy.

Only she knew that her heart had become increasingly unstable these days because of Chen Yi.

His constant sarcasm and malicious teasing undermined her dignity and honor, and disturbed her peace.

Yin Weiying took a deep breath, tried to forget him, and then slowly walked towards the cemetery.

She lit three more incense sticks, and her white robe fluttered in the mist.

"Soul, come back! Come back to your old home."

As soon as the words fell, the evil aura surged beyond imagination, the smoke from the incense turned dark, the already gloomy sky became even darker, and the heaven and earth seemed to be closing and closing together.

Yin Weiying felt uneasy for a moment.

She closed her eyes first and started walking in a mighty step. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the scene suddenly changed. It was dark in all directions. There were heartbreak grass and red spider lilies everywhere. The air of murder was spreading, and the ground was littered with withered bones from the ancient battlefield.

"What's going on here?"

Yin Weiying said in astonishment.

She had never encountered such a situation before.

"Could it be... an invasion by the seven spirits?"

Yin Weiying murmured to himself,
"But I am cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness, so how could I..."

"Are you really too oblivious?"

Suddenly, Yin Weiying heard someone's voice.

But there was no one around!
"Who?"

"yourself."

"Myself?"

When Yin Weiying turned her head again, she saw a daughter of King Jing walking towards her with a pale face and bloodshot eyes.

The nun was shocked.

"You are my third soul, the spirit of the underworld, a mixture of yin energy, belonging to the earth, that is, a yin spirit that communicates with yin. How did you appear? It's not only the dead who can see... their own spirits..."

When Yin Weiying spoke to the end, his expression changed slightly.

"Can people survive if they see a ghost spirit?"

After asking this question, Youjing laughed and said:
"You are already dead!"

Yin Weiying's face turned pale in an instant, her legs became weak, she was shaky and almost fell.

After a while, she shouted hurriedly:
"How could I die? How could I die? I am just summoning souls for others. I am the Supreme Being who forgets emotions and cultivates the way to immortality. How could I die?!"

The ghost just grinned, very strangely:
"The Supreme Forgetfulness of Love, cultivating the way to immortality... but are you really the Supreme Forgetfulness of Love?"

Yin Weiying was stunned, and then horrified.

"You have been dragged down by the mundane world. Chen Yi has caused your heart to surge many times. Your forgetfulness is just a fake forgetfulness."
