My enemies became my companions

Chapter 83 I understand

Yin Weiying finished reading the words on the tortoise shell. The entire oracle bone inscription recorded ancient legends and was sent to the belly of the Ba snake by the Xia people during sacrifice.

She started from the first twelve words: Heaven and Earth, God was not at peace, Yu married Tushan, and read to the last twelve words: Nine-tailed fox fossilized, then Qi was born, and God was at peace again.

After reading it, Yin Weiying looked puzzled, but she vaguely caught a glimpse of ethereal feeling, and she followed her own thoughts.

In the past, Dayu married Tushan, but this made the Great Dao uneasy. Tushan turned into stone and gave birth to Qi. At this time, the Great Dao was peaceful again.

The entire ancient myth echoed in Yin Weiying's mind like a big bell. She gradually captured the goddess's inheritance and heard the voice of the Tao from between the lines.

Even so, Yin Weiying was still a little difficult to grasp.

She was immersed in the understanding of the Tao, so intoxicated that she gradually felt selfless.

When she came to her senses, she saw Chen Yi looking at her in confusion.

"Are you... possessed?"

Chen Yi asked.

Yin Weiying was not angry when he heard this, but said calmly:
"You cannot understand what I understand."

"You're really obsessed." Chen Yi shook his head.

Yin Weiying scoffed at this.

A summer insect cannot talk about ice. So what’s the point of explaining it to such a mortal body?

"Just keep walking."

Yin Weiying said indifferently.

Listening to this ethereal voice, Chen Yi felt vaguely that the extremely thin-skinned Princess Jing seemed to be a little further away, and he felt inexplicably a little regretful.

How... is she gradually mastering the Supreme Forgetfulness Method in this underground palace?
Returning to the original tomb, Chen Yi took away the bronze box.

This bronze box contains part of Tushan's remains.

The two men moved forward again in the underground palace, going deeper and deeper. There was no murderous intent around them, but only infinite silence. The sound of footsteps stepping on bronze vessels echoed. Chen Yi looked back from time to time and saw Yin Weiying with his eyes lowered, as if he was still thinking, becoming more and more selfless.

After nearly half an hour, they came to an open area. There was an underground river in front of them and a stone tablet beside the river. Chen Yi looked at it from afar and was surprised to see two figures in front of the stone tablet.

There were a man and a woman, one old and one young. The old man was dressed in Wu clothing, with white hair and a youthful face. The woman had a pretty face and was no more than twelve years old. Both of them carefully observed the words engraved on the stone tablet.

When she heard the footsteps behind her, the girl turned around and stared at Chen Yi and the others with her big eyes.

"What's wrong,"

The old man came to his senses after the girl pulled his sleeves and saw the person coming:
"You are?"

Seeing that the old man seemed to have no hostility, Chen Yi stopped and bowed:

"I am the captain of the Western Factory, Chen Yi."

"What is the Western Factory? Is it the new government office established by the Great Emperor Wu?"

The girl was puzzled.

Listening to the girl's words, Chen Yi was also confused.

"Your Majesty? What Your Majesty?"

"Who else could it be? The current emperor, whose last name is Sun and whose taboo name is Quan."

The girl said carelessly, without any scruples.

Chen Yi immediately realized something was wrong and asked:

"May I ask your names?"

The old man said happily:
"My name is Wang Biao. As for her, you can call her Fangji. We are entrusted by the emperor to search for the immortal dharma in all corners of the world."

This time, even Yin Weiying was shocked.
"Wang Biao and Fang Ji? They were people from the Wei and Jin dynasties?"

If she remembered correctly, Sun Quan wanted to find a way to immortality, so he followed the example of Qin Shihuang and sent people to search for immortals. The most famous of them was Wang Biao. It was said that Wang Biao and his maid had the ability to communicate with the spirits of mountains and rivers.

"Wei and Jin? What is Jin?"

Fang Ji asked in confusion. Chen Yi turned his head and did not answer, but asked back:
"Do you know what year it is now?"

"Of course it is the first year of the Taiyuan Period of the Great Wu."

Spinning answered naturally.

Wang Biao sensed something was wrong and was about to speak, but Yin Weiying spoke first:

"No, now is the third year of Huanglong in Dayu, which is nearly 1,800 years away from the Three Kingdoms period!"

Wang Biao and Fang Ji both froze in place.

Then, a terrible scene happened. The twelve-year-old girl's height suddenly became several inches taller than the old man. Then, wrinkles appeared on her face and her back gradually bent.

She is getting older at an unimaginable rate!
In the blink of an eye, the twelve-year-old girl had become white-haired and very old. When she wanted to say something, her lips closed and she died.

She died of old age.

Wang Biao, who was standing by, was stunned for a long time before he uttered two words:
"Waste of time."

Then his legs bent, he fell to the ground, and died of old age.

Chen Yi watched this scene in horror. Then as they walked over, the flesh and blood of the two men quickly shrank and dissipated, leaving only bones. Soon after, the bones were gone too, turning into bursts of powder that drifted in the underground river.

Both of them seemed to have endured the test of thousands of years in that instant.

This scene reminded Chen Yi of the legendary Lan Ke chess game.

These two people stayed in front of the stone tablet for so long, didn't they know the story of the Lan Ke chess game?

Soon, Chen Yi thought of the answer.

The Lan Ke chess game is a story from the Jin Dynasty, and these two people are from the Three Kingdoms period.

Faced with the deaths of the two, Chen Yi was shocked, but Yin Weiying remained expressionless.

"You...don't feel anything?"

Chen Yi asked subconsciously.

"But it's their own fault. Who made them break into the underground palace without achieving their Taoism?"

Goddess Taihua said calmly, she raised her foot and walked closer to the stone tablet.

Chen Yi looked towards the stone tablet and saw that it was engraved with two gods, a man and a woman, representing yin and yang, which combined into one formed the Tai Chi fish.

On the stone tablet, there is a line of vigorous and profound ancient characters engraved, which seems to have a majestic momentum:
[How could He Qinzi, who butchered his mother, end up dividing the land?! ]

I don't know how many years this line of ancient characters has gone through, but we can still see the poet's question to the heavens between the lines: Why did Xia Qi kill his mother? !

Chen Yi was immersed in the shock brought by the handwriting. He vaguely grasped some great truth and was about to comprehend it further when he felt a burning pain in the acupoints all over his body!
The strange poison inflicted by the Queen Mother!

When Chen Yi was practicing Shangqing Heart Method before, he felt the obstruction of the strange poison. Now, when he was about to comprehend the great Dao, the strange poison suddenly burned his whole body.

Chen Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, but his vision gradually became clear again.

"Fuck, I almost fell into it like Wang Biao, but I didn't expect this strange poison... would turn out to be a blessing in disguise for me."

He gasped for breath and dared not read the words anymore.

Chen Yi raised his head and saw Yin Weiying standing beside him. He had a peaceful look on his face, as if he had gained some insight into the truth.

The words on the stone tablet gradually became intertwined with the tortoise shell that Yin Weiying saw.

Throughout the ages, countless people have been puzzled by the fact that Xia Qi killed his mother. Qu Yuan even wrote "Heavenly Questions" to ask God why Xia Qi, who was clearly a filial son, killed Tushan?
It’s all for the word “Tao”!
The Great Dao was disturbed because Yu married Tushan and had a son, but it became peaceful again because Tushan gave birth to Qi.
The reason for peace again was not actually because Tushan gave birth to Qi, but because the Great Dao had already foreseen the future and knew that Xia Qi would definitely slaughter his mother in the future.
One life and one death, more will overflow, less will be round...

Suddenly, Goddess Taihua had an epiphany.
"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage!"

Tushan gave birth to Qi, and the Way of Heaven gained an extra life, a "surplus", so Qi killed Tushan, lost a life and filled the "shortcomings" of the Way of Heaven.

"That's it, I understand!"

She sank into the avenue, becoming more and more forgetful of emotions, more and more... selfless...
