My enemies became my companions

Chapter 80 Who is worthy then? (5k -in-)

It is not true that Yin Weiying is useless.

The reason why Chen Yi said that she was useless was just to tell this woman that he could abandon her at any time and let this woman not think of doing anything bad.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't necessarily be scared by Chen Yi.

But people cannot be generalized.

After knowing each other for a while, Chen Yi could see that Yin Weiying was just a bully who only cared about the weak and feared the strong.

Facing ordinary people who could not threaten her, she remained untainted by the dust, and her every move seemed ethereal and otherworldly.

But facing the person who threatened to get her is another matter.

Her temperament can be said to be good or bad. Once she is humiliated by ordinary people who are not in her eyes and she is unable to resist, her heart will easily be turbulent.

Although Chen Yi didn't know what Yin Weiying had experienced before, he heard from Min Ning that after she slapped him, Yin Weiying became much more obedient.

Speaking of which, she was clearly cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness, and she looked ethereal and otherworldly on weekdays, but once something unexpected happened, her mood would easily turn upside down. Could it be that the Supreme Forgetfulness of Mount Taihua was so fragile? How could one become an immortal with such a fragile avenue?

The two walked forward, Yin Weiying followed closely behind Chen Yi. She looked around and said:

"This place is probably the mausoleum of ancient Xia."

The fairy spoke in a serious tone, and it seemed that she had calmed down.

"That's how it should be."

Chen Yidao.

When I finished "Tianwai Tian" for the first time, I accidentally triggered the event of Tushan's birth, and the entire capital city was drawn into the underground palace.

The terrain inside the underground palace is complex and changes every hour, like a random copy. There are many dangerous places where you will die if you touch them.

As for how he got out of the underground palace...

Rely on loading the save file to force your way through.

But now... there is no save file... and I only have one life.

The two walked for a while and turned a corner. Suddenly, the space in front of them became wider. Yin Weiying was surprised and said:
"The Cauldron of Ancient Xia?"

A bronze door and two glazed lamps stood ten feet away, and in front of the bronze door stood a large, ancient tripod engraved with gold inscriptions.

"What kind of tripod is this?" Chen Yi asked.

He had no impression or memory of the scene before him.

The bronze gate is extremely magnificent, comparable to the city gate of the capital. It is majestic, and its edges are covered with ancient green rust. It is simple and desolate, and the ancient prehistoric atmosphere is overwhelming.

As soon as Chen Yi finished asking the question, slight noises suddenly appeared on both sides.

Yin Weiying turned his head and was shocked to find that there were square pit-like graves on both sides, with corpses lying inside. Their hands were folded, their heads were upright, and their faces were lifelike, as if they had never died. They looked evil and weird.

"…human sacrifices, and…all of them were dignitaries."

Yin Weiying stepped forward to take a look, then his face turned pale.

"Still alive? His souls and spirits are still there? Is he the living dead?!"

Chen Yi frowned and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"Death is like life. In ancient times, it is said that there was no underworld. The dead were exactly the same as the living, so there were many human sacrifices. The more noble the person, the more noble the person had to be buried with. The highest among them would have their three souls and seven spirits bound forever, and they would be ordered to obey the tomb owner forever. This kind of soul-binding human sacrifice is called the living dead."

Yin Weiying looked at the graves and said palely:

“Even in the mountains, the appearance of a living dead person is enough to attract all parties to fight for it, but here there are dozens of them... Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Venerable, who is the owner of this mausoleum?!”

Hearing the nun's astonishment, Chen Yi's brows became more solemn, and he said:

"Tushan clan."

After hearing this, the nun's face turned even paler.

"The ancestor of fox demons, the descendant of Nuwa... the legendary Tushan Underground Palace?!"

Chen Yi was about to say something, but for no apparent reason, his hair stood on end. He turned his head and saw something surging and approaching in the darkness behind him.

The gloomy darkness pressed in, glowing snake scales were faintly visible, a hissing sound was heard, and a huge green head was looming, filling up most of the space, and seemed to be approaching tentatively.

Basque snake.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Classic of the Seas states: There is the State of Ba in the southwest, and also the State of Zhujuan, where there are black snakes with green heads that eat elephants.

Chen Yi immediately understood that this beast, which was big enough to swallow an elephant, was testing him. It was afraid of the red gold relic in his arms, and seemed to be refusing to give in and wanted to hunt them down.

"Stop looking and think about how to get in!"

Chen Yi urged.

He drew out his newly replaced Embroidered Spring Sword, clenched the red gold relic, and stood where he was, neither moving forward nor backward, confronting the strange beast.

Yin Weiying was also startled by the terrifying aura behind her, and she quickly walked towards the large tripod in front of the bronze door.

She hurriedly identified the gold inscriptions on the tripod and compared them with the patterns on it.

The python was getting closer and closer, and the hissing sound was endless.

Being blocked from front and back and unable to leave, Chen Yi picked up the Embroidered Spring Knife and watched the huge green-headed snake head of the Basashi gradually approaching him. He suddenly jumped up, took a step forward and slashed forward.

The wind and rain fell, and the air-like wailing sounded all around. The python's head quickly swept back, but was still cut off. It roared in pain, and a hole was cut on the hard snake scales, and blood flowed out.

The python's eyes were red and its bloody mouth was wide open.

Yin Weiying behind her seemed to have found a way to open the door. She sang the ancient Xia song "Nine Arguments" and lit the lights of two bronze lamps with one hand. Green flames ignited. The three-foot peach wood sword picked up the lamp and handed it to the center of the bronze door, forming a triangle with the two glazed lamps.

On the bronze tripod, an ancient and complex pattern slowly emerged. It was as hard as a black tortoise's back, with one head and three legs and a bear-like head. It was none other than the ancient strange beast, the Huangneng Three-legged Turtle!

Legend has it that Gun, the father of Dayu, failed to control the flood and stole the Xirang from the God of Heaven in an attempt to extinguish the flood. However, he was executed at Yu Mountain for this and after his death he turned into a three-legged turtle with yellow wings and entered Yu Yuan.

Huang Neng's three-legged turtle appeared, and the bronze door slowly opened as if it had been pardoned.

"go!"

After Chen Yi forced the Basah back, he quickly grabbed Yin Weiying and rushed into the bronze gate.

The python with its bloody mouth opened slammed forward and the bronze tripod was instantly crushed into powder. The bronze door behind it kept shaking, as if it would collapse at any time.

After walking a distance away from the bronze gate, the sound gradually stopped.

Yin Weiying was panting heavily, his eyes filled with indescribable fear.
“How could the Tushan Underground Palace be found near the capital city… This place was only mentioned a few times in ancient books. It is said that there is an ancient avenue hidden in it. There were Taoist masters or Buddhist masters who wanted to explore it, but they died without any resurrection. No one has ever returned.

We have strayed into this place, and it is very dangerous. I am afraid... we will die here."

"You'll have to ask the late emperor."

Chen Yi paused and said with a smile:

"It seems that I have to go against Yin Xiangu and become a desperate couple."

Yin Weiying turned around and glared at him angrily.
"Who is willing to be your lover on the run?!"

"Good luck." Chen Yi said suddenly.

"Daji what?"

Yin Weiying was suddenly puzzled.

"You didn't say you didn't want to, but I was afraid you would tie me up and take me to Mount Taihua to practice Taoism. Wouldn't that be a good omen for me to be a stone with you?"

Chen Yi said with a smile,
"After all, who asked you to beg me to be your Taoist partner?"

Yin Weiying's expression was stiff and her cheeks flushed red. She was about to curse in a low voice, "Ignorance and evildoer."

As soon as the word "nothing" came out, Chen Yi said:

"You can try to scold me again. At worst, I will just walk faster and leave you here."

The lady in white froze.

"If you curse me, I will break your bridge of immortality and leave you here."

Chen Yi said, patting her face teasingly.

Enduring the humiliation, Yin Weiying clenched his fists and said:
"…You are allowed to tease me, but I am not allowed to scold you?"

Yin Weiying couldn't imagine how desperate it would be to have the Changsheng Bridge interrupted and then be left here.

"You have tried to kill me several times, but I have already given you a good deal by not killing you. I am also willing to let you follow me. Isn't this a great favor?"

Chen Yi sneered,
"If Goddess Taihua had been more sensible, she would not only accept being beaten, but would also actively cooperate and try to please me. I wouldn't mind having her follow me all the time, right, Emperor Yin Luan?"

After saying that, Chen Yi pinched her earlobe hard. Yin Weiying gritted her teeth in pain, her face flushed with shame, but she could only nod reluctantly.

It took another ten years to acquire true energy.

"Come to think of it, how come you, a cultivator of the Supreme Forgetfulness of Love, are so vindictive?" Chen Yi asked casually.

After hearing this, Yin Weiying said, "Although I have practiced the Supreme Forgetfulness Method, I have only achieved a small degree of success. But once I have mastered it, I will remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of me. When I reach the Great Perfection, I will not be moved even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses."

"You're not answering the question. I'm asking why you hold grudges so much? Why do you get so upset over a little teasing or humiliation?" Yin Weiying was dissatisfied with such a blunt and impolite question, but he didn't dare to show it. He said, "Once the golden boy and jade girl go up the mountain, they will only be allowed to go down the mountain to practice after they have mastered the skills. When they first practice the Supreme Forget Love Method, their emotions will easily fluctuate when something unexpected happens. Just think about it, which ripples are bigger if you throw a stone into a stream or a lake?"

Chen Yi thought about it and it seemed that it was not impossible. After all, once the golden boy and jade girl of Mount Taihua went up the mountain, they would never go out to practice unless they had achieved success in Taoism. Mount Taihua had always been peaceful and calm, with almost no accidents.

After all this time, it turns out to be flowers in a greenhouse and an avenue made of glass.

"When something unexpected happens, one's mood will easily fluctuate... In other words, one's state of mind will particularly affect cultivation?"

Chen Yi asked meaningfully.

“If you are struck by a sudden disaster and your heart is damaged, your realm will plummet.”

After Yin Weiying answered truthfully, he realized something and asked:
"What do you ask for this?"

"nothing."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight forward.

The white-robed woman followed closely behind him, looking around. How many thousands of years had passed since the time when Dayu controlled the floods in ancient times? The Tushan Underground Palace had appeared in the world several times, and countless people from the mountain had flocked in, but no one had ever walked out alive. The longer he stayed here, the more panicked Yin Weiying became.

There are more and more square pit tombs in the two volumes. Those living dead people were all dignitaries in ancient times. They witnessed Gun’s death in Yushan due to his failure to control floods, and also witnessed Dayu’s meeting in Tushan and the killing of the giant Fangfeng. They may even have witnessed Emperor Yao abdicating to Shun, and Emperor Shun abdicating to Yu.

The weight of history comes with the bones in each grave, and the scattered bronze artifacts retain the traces of time.

Walking through the corridor, another bronze door suddenly appeared, and another rusty bronze tripod stood in front.

As a mountain man who knew bronze inscriptions, Yin Weiying approached the cauldron and frowned deeply.

"What's the writing on it?"

Chen Yi asked.

"It's badly worn, and the inscriptions are very complex... more complex than the original ones."

Yin Weiying said slowly:

"I feel like these tripods are like layers of seals. What exactly is sealed behind them?"

"The remains of Tushan, her body was sealed in different places in the underground palace."

Chen Yi said directly.

Yin Weiying turned his head and looked at him in surprise and confusion.

This man spoke with such certainty, but in this world... no one has ever walked out of the Tushan Underground Palace alive... Why is he so sure?
"Why, are you thinking about me?"

The man asked with a smile.

Yin Weiying came back to his senses, quickly restrained his expression, and said slowly:
"What you said makes sense. Let's take a look at the inscription."

As she spoke, the nun stretched out her hand and pointed to the inscription on the tripod.

"This character is a 'sun' character with an axe attached. It should be the earliest 'emperor' character."

"How did you infer that?"

"Today's 'huang' has a 'wang' in it. In ancient bronze inscriptions, 'wang' was drawn as a hanging axe. In ancient times, the one who conquered others by force was called a king. This 'sun' character with an axe is the character 'huang'."

After Yin Weiying gave a brief explanation, he said:

"Huang" means great, referring to its splendor and beauty. Therefore, Suiren, Fuxi and Shennong are called the Three Emperors."

On the big tripod, after the word "Emperor", there is a pattern of a little man.

Chen Yi recalled and said:

"Is this the word '天'? This string of words is: 皇天后土."

Yin Weiying looked at him in surprise, and she stood there in a daze.

Then, she asked:

"Have you studied bronze inscriptions?"

"No, but I... know what it means."

Chen Yi said vaguely.

I have reloaded the game many times in the Tushan Underground Palace, and I always see similar patterns, so I can guess some of them.

Know what it means...Yin Weiying's eyes gradually turned darker, as if he was thinking.

He was so sure before that the remains of Tushan clan were in the underground palace, and now he can understand the meaning of the bronze inscriptions. Could it be that my divination was wrong? Does he... really have clairvoyance?
Chen Yi looked around at the scene in front of him, then glanced at the large cauldron in front of him, and then thought of something.

Here...I seem to have been here before.

Should I say I was lucky? I actually encountered the same thing in the random copy that I encountered in my first time.

Chen Yi turned around and slowly approached the square pits for human sacrifice on both sides according to his memory.

Those lifelike corpses all retained their appearance when they were alive. Chen Yi followed his memory and came to a corpse. The corpse was holding a tortoise shell in his hand, like a witch.

The corpse seemed to be in a light sleep, as if it would breathe normally if no attention was paid.

Chen Yi reached out and took the tortoise shell.

When the tortoise shell was in hand, in just a moment, the witch's corpse's flesh and blood withered and shrank rapidly, then turned into a skeleton, and then turned from a skeleton into powder and disappeared.

The soul rushed out and instantly swept into Chen Yi's mind.

As the fire burned raging, he seemed to be in the ancient times.

In front of the ancient altar, an ancient man tapped the bronze tripod lightly, standing still, with a blazing fire, burning sacrifices to the sky. He was dressed in green and gave a disdainful look to the witch.

Tremor...

Chen Yi seemed to feel the witch's fear. The witch's limbs were trembling and he knelt on the ground.

It was as if that man was the incarnation of destiny on earth.

The witch spoke tremblingly to the ancient man, speaking eight words in the world's most ancient language:
"God is not at peace"

Chen Yi slowly came back to his senses, looked at the tortoise shell in his hand, and held his head, feeling a little shaky.

"Who is that…"

Chen Yi murmured, trying to recall.

"Xia Hou...Qi?"

Yin Weiying, who was watching this scene, hurried forward.

Although she felt a little gloating in her heart, her life now depended on Chen Yi, so she was more worried.

"It's okay... This piece of tortoise shell is the key. Burn it in the cauldron."

Chen Yi handed the tortoise shell to Yin Weiying.

After taking it, the nun looked at Chen Yi in confusion, but still did as she was told. She chanted some words and then used magic to start a fire and burn the tortoise shell in the cauldron.

Not long after, the bronze gate actually slowly opened.

Yin Weiying's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but ask:
"You...really don't have clairvoyance?!"

Chen Yi did not answer.

Facing the slowly opening bronze door, Yin Weiying's eyes drooped slightly, his face darkened. With his previous confidence, the bronze inscriptions, and now the tortoise shells, he seemed to have foreseen every step, and he was like a fish in water in this underground palace of Tushan where no living person had ever walked out...

He has the ability to see through the sky, he must have the ability to see through the sky. It's my fault that I'm not good at Taoism and the divination was wrong. Now Min Ning has firmly refused and will never go up the mountain with her again. So, for the sake of immortality, why not find a person with the ability to see through the sky to be a Taoist partner? What's wrong with committing myself to this person for the time being?
Thinking of the path to immortality, her hatred for Chen Yi was somewhat reduced.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

Before Yin Weiying could speak, Chen Yi asked:
"Why, you want to marry me?"

Yin Weiying didn't expect that his thoughts were seen through. He was stunned for a moment, then said stiffly:
"I am the Goddess of Taihua and a descendant of the Emperor Shizong... So what if this is the case?"

In front of the longevity path, all the grievances were too small. Even if he had a grudge against Chen Yi, so what? As long as he gave up his kindness and gave in a little in the future, he should know what was right. However, he never thought that this mortal man actually shook his head and said slowly:
"You do not deserve."

Yin Weiying's face became stiff and pale, then turned red with anger.

"Thank you for your kindness, Yin Xiangu, but Yin Xiangu has harmed me many times and almost wanted to kill me. If she wants to be my principal wife, she is truly unworthy."

Looking at the women who tried to kill him several times, Chen Yi smiled faintly.

Chen Yi turned around and strode forward.

Yin Weiying's face was as gloomy as water, and he asked in a hoarse and angry voice:

"Then who is worthy?"

Then, she heard from him a name that she admired as high as a mountain.

"Yinjian Mountain Sword Armor, Zhou Yitang."

A big update of 5,000 words, no update at 8 o'clock tonight.

To be honest, I wonder if you are interested in this plot of exploring the ancient Xia and Shang myths? If you are interested, I will write more. If not, I will speed up the pace and reduce the fragments of exploring the underground palace.
