My enemies became my companions

Chapter 81: Encountering Sword Armor Again
The moment he realized that Chen Yixu really had the ability to see through the eyes of heaven, Yin Weiying's heart was indeed moved.

Although she did not expect Chen Yi's refusal, she felt it was natural after thinking about it.

But when he mentioned the "Yinjianshan Sword Armor", Yin Weiying was stunned at first, and then sneered.

Yinjianshan Sword Armor...it's a surprise that he could even name it.

Chen Yi is a captain of the Western Factory, and the highest position he can achieve is a commander. If nothing unexpected happens, he will remain an ordinary person in this life, and will live for no more than two hundred years.

Does he know that there is a huge difference between him and Master Tongxuan?
"You just said that on purpose to irritate me."

Yin Weiying shook his head, and then, under the influence of his deep connection with the Tao, he continued to think carefully.

Clouds are clouds, mud is mud, and when his life span is over, he will return to the earth. But I can still pour a pot of rice wine in front of his grave and talk about the past years with a smile.

No matter he or Min Ning, both ignored the path to immortality, stuck to the views of ordinary people, and lingered in the red dust. However, the Taoism on the mountain is boundless, and immortality is infinite, which are difficult for people living below the mountain to imagine and understand.

Lao Tzu once said: "Reach the utmost emptiness and keep the deepest stillness." If you are unwilling to give up the affairs of the world, how can you find emptiness and stillness, how can you inquire about the great Dao? If you don't inquire about the great Dao, are you living in this world just to be like him, living for less than two decades?

The path to immortality was right in front of Chen Yi, but he was about to miss it.

“Even though the rain falls heavily, it cannot moisten the grass without roots.

Since he is nothing but a rootless grass, why not forget the grudges against him?"

Yin Weiying sighed softly, his heart of Taoism became more and more firm, his thoughts became clear in an instant, and there was a bit of detachment in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yi's back.

Chen Yi glanced at the panel and found that Yin Weiying's negative emotions had subsided again.

He glanced at Yin Weiying from the side.
The changes in Yin Weiying at the moment are really curious.

It's like...

The daughter of King Jing, who was bothered by worldly affairs, has temporarily disappeared, and the Taihua Goddess, who was free from emotions, has returned.
That’s really…interesting.

Chen Yi always felt that Yin Weiying's temperament was always changing.

Sometimes she looks like a thin-skinned daughter of an imperial relative, and sometimes she looks like the goddess Taihua, indifferent to the world.

This may be because... the Taihua Mountain's Supreme Forgetfulness Method has not yet been fully developed. If it were to be fully developed... I'm afraid there would be no Princess Jing, only the Goddess Taihua.

This may be...forgetfulness.

At the end of practicing Taoism, if one turns oneself into a stone and forgets one's original self, then what is the point of climbing the highest peak and seeing the most scenery?
"To become an immortal, one must forget oneself?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help shaking his head. If that was the case, no matter what happened, he couldn't let Min Ning be taken to Taihua Mountain.

After walking for a while in the underground palace and turning a corner, they came to a relatively wide space filled with waves of evil spirits. Yin Weiying sensed something and said:
"Wait a moment."

Chen Yi stopped.

There was a light mist, and the scene in front of him was empty and dark, and nothing could be seen clearly. Yin Weiying took out a path-finding talisman from his arms, chanted a spell, and the talisman rose up without wind and explored straight forward.

After a mile, the talisman stopped, and Yin Weiying said calmly:
"There is a strong sword intent ahead, causing chaos in the surrounding feng shui and blocking the Dongming Talisman..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi immediately realized something.

Zhou Yitang...

This is... the place where I met Zhou Yitong in my first shift.

According to the original plot, after Tushan was born, Jianjia and Feiyuan Zhenren of Shangqing Dao went to fight against him, but they were all beaten into the underground palace. Feiyuan Zhenren's life or death was unknown, and Zhou Yitang was seriously injured. He recuperated in a tomb in the underground palace, and left a sword intent to block the strange beasts in the underground palace.

"Walk."

Chen Yi quickened his pace.

Seeing how reckless he was, Yin Weiying was about to say something, but then he thought that he might have clairvoyance, so he stopped talking and just followed him.

This true ancient relic became more hazy the further they walked. Chen Yi felt that they were approaching the core area of ​​the Tushan Underground Palace. There were more and more pottery and bronze fragments scattered on both sides. Yin Weiying saw that there was a mountain painted on the pottery fragments, and there were words engraved on the wall. Half a sentence in bronze script read "The Goddess is Restless". The following picture showed a nine-tailed goddess standing on the mountain and giving books.

When Yin Weiying saw this scene, his breathing became rapid.

According to legend, when Dayu was controlling floods, he was helped by the goddess of Wushan. The goddess in the painting has nine tails. Could it be that Wushan is Tushan? Is the goddess of Wushan the Tushan clan?
Could it be that... there is the inheritance of the Wushan Goddess here? !
The surroundings were full of dust, and there were some ancient and broken utensils, a square tripod half buried in the soil, and a bronze bell broken into pieces, exuding a primitive aura and covered in rust. Yin Weiying, who was behind Chen Yi, saw that many of them were spiritual objects used to smelt magic weapons on the mountain. He was shocked and found it hard to imagine what the identity of the former owner of this tomb was. It was even harder to imagine that under the test of time, these natural treasures had become scrap copper and iron.

Chen Yi raised his head and saw that the murals in the tomb were similar to the pictures on the pottery fragments, but with an additional follow-up: the nine-tailed goddess Tushan gave a book to Dayu on how to control floods, and soon turned into bluestone.

Under the mural, there is a bronze box.

Yin Weiying's eyes became brighter.

Chen Yi's scalp went numb.
Tushan turned into a bluestone... and I once thought that the Taihua Goddess would become a stone in the end...

Is this a coincidence, or... While Chen Yi was thinking, he felt a cold touch on his neck.

A rusty bronze sword was pressed against his neck without him noticing.

Chen Yi felt a chill down his spine, and in an instant, he felt a fierce murderous intent behind him.

"who are you?"

A cold voice sounded from behind.

Chen Yi's eyes widened and he immediately realized that the person behind him was none other than Zhou Yitang who was recuperating in this tomb!
Before Chen Yi could speak, Yin Weiying, who was not far away, said in surprise:

"Master Zhou..."

Zhou Yitang glanced at Yin Weiying and asked:

"Goddess Taihua? A disciple of Yu Zhen Yuan Jun?"

"Exactly."

Yin Weiying answered lightly.

After Zhou Yitang glanced at her, his gaze returned to Chen Yi.

Although he could still feel the murderous intent behind him, Chen Yi was no longer panicked and said:
"Zhou Jianjia... do you still remember me? Chen Yi, the captain of the Western Factory."

When they met for the second time, Zhou Yitang might not remember him, so Chen Yi introduced him again.

Zhou Yitang heard this and revealed a look of nostalgia. After a while, he said:

"Some impressions."

As he spoke, Jianjia put away the rusty bronze sword.

Chen Yi turned around and looked at Zhou Yitang again. He felt a little disappointed for a moment, thinking of Ge Sheng and Shaoyaohua, but he quickly came to his senses and asked:
"I wonder why Jian Jia... stopped here?"

Of course he knew why Zhou Yitong stayed in this tomb to recuperate, but he still had to ask.

"I was injured in the battle with Tushan clan and need to rest for a while."

Zhou Yitang replied, seemingly unwilling to say more.

Chen Yi asked directly:
"Oh? I'm afraid it's more than that. Zhou Jianjia is a Taoist and a martial artist. He is so powerful that he is not afraid of the monsters in the underground palace even though he is seriously injured. But he still hides here. Is there... another hidden story?"

Then, Chen Yi saw that Zhou Yitang narrowed his eyes and stared at him closely.

As expected, she said almost the same words as in the first file.
"You have some vision. The reason I stayed here is to avoid being hunted down by Tushan's minions."

"Tushan clan's lackeys?"

Yin Weiying was a little confused.

"The strange beasts in the underground palace include the donkey-headed prince."

Chen Yi said calmly.

Zhou Yitang looked at Chen Yi in surprise, and then said:
"Yes, Yu met the Nine-tailed Tushan and became king. The Nine-tailed Tushan is proof of the kingship. Legend has it that Wu Zhao was transformed from an intestine of Tushan, so she could become emperor as a woman. The donkey-headed prince is Wu Zhao's son."

"In other words... the reason why the Donkey-Headed Prince showed up in the capital was to awaken Tushan and allow Tushan to be born again?"

This time Yin Weiying was slightly stunned.

"Perhaps so, otherwise why would he cooperate with the Lin family?"

Zhou Yitang paused and added:

"Because the merits of the prayer hall were stolen, Tushan completely lost the power and was reborn in the body of the late queen mother."

Reborn through the body of the late Queen Mother...

Hearing this, Chen Yi frowned slightly.

In the previous file, she was indeed born through the body of the former queen mother, but not long ago, when I saw Tushan, she looked like Queen Mother An, not the former queen mother... Compared to being born again through the body of the former queen mother, it was more like being born by possessing Queen An...

Just as Chen Yi was thinking, bursts of rumbling friction sounds came from outside the tomb.

The python that should only appear in myths and legends is approaching.

After thinking about it, I will update another chapter today. I have already thought of the ending of the Goddess Taihua in the underground palace. It should be the kind that you are a little unexpected.
