My enemies became my companions

Chapter 565 Where Did the Wild Cat Come From (Two in One)

Going deep into this white tower is like going deep into a tiger's den.

It is often said that you can't get a tiger cub without going into the tiger's den, but who would have known that in the dark, the tiger was crouching behind the dense and shady bushes, staring at you quietly.

There are countless residual spirits of gods in the tower who hate Longhu Mountain to the core, but they are invisible and cannot be found or avoided. The only way to resist them is to use the sword formation to cut down mountains and destroy temples, but even then they are passive.

And now, there are people who can "see" the existence of these residual spirits with their naked eyes...

Everyone could not help but be shocked.

Chen Yi felt the same, but compared to the Taoists' shock, he was more confused and genuinely concerned about her.

Everyone has the softest string in their heart, but they are not always aware of it. After being with the little fox for so long, Chen Yi discovered that what he could not stand the most was other people's dependence on him.

If it was a fight to the death, it would be fine, just a simple matter of a horizontal and vertical line, but the helpless dependence of others is the most troublesome.

Moreover, after spending so many days with her, even if we put aside Dong Gong Ruoshu's body, Chen Yi couldn't really ignore her. For some reason, there was something about her that made people feel sorry for her, and her every move would occasionally touch people's soft spot.

In this case, the matter also concerns the road ahead, as well as the still unseen Zhen Donggong Ruoshu, Little Fox and Tai Shajian, so it is understandable that he would pay more attention to it.

"Taiyi... old man, what is this Taiyi?" Chen Yi paused and said, "Don't tell me it's the Taoist Taiyi. No one in this tower likes Longhu Mountain."

"Are you going to ask... Taiyi of the Chu people?" The old saint spoke slowly, her tone calm and profound, just like that of an omniscient hermit.

But Chen Yi knew that when the old fellow heard those two words, he yelled “Fuck the Great Ming Buddha” countless times in his heart.

After a while, the old saint girl slowly said: "Taiyi is also known as Donghuang Taiyi by you ordinary people. However, the term 'Donghuang' is just a word of praise and decoration. It is meaningless. The so-called Taiyi is not a god.

Taiyi is the noble name of water. It is the mother of heaven and earth before it was created, and the source of all things after it. Therefore, there is a saying: "Taiyi gave birth to water."

This short sentence contained a huge amount of information, but Chen Yi didn't understand it.

If he knew that the person behind Donggong Ruoshu was Da Yin, he might have said, "No wonder there is so much water in it."

However, he didn't understand, and he could only chew on this sentence, but he couldn't chew out the meaning. He didn't act modestly, and said directly: "Speak human language, don't be shy."

The old saint was disgusted, but she still kept the secret and said, "The Taoists in the Spring and Autumn Period said, 'The Tao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two, and Three gave birth to all things.' Taiyi is the 'One' born from Tao. Therefore, the so-called Taiyi is close to Tao and can be regarded as Tao. It is said that it is now located at the north pole of the sky and is the North Star, surrounded by other stars."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and swallowed it hastily. He seemed to have figured out what "Taiyi" was. It was roughly the so-called source of creation.

But the problem is not about these things that are so high that one has to climb up to the heavens to ask.

"Then what is her relationship with Taiyi?"

As the words fell, Chen Yi felt that the old saint was visibly silent for a moment.

Just when Chen Yi was expecting her to give an answer, she said after a long time: "Boy, I don't know either."

Well, it seems to be an unsolvable problem.

However, then again, the unknown existence in this tower seems to be supported by the residual spirits of one side, and is also hostile to the residual spirits of evil gods such as Kui Xia. It seems that what Longhu Mountain said before is true. The gods whose mountains and temples were destroyed are indeed a mixed bag. If they are not also angry with Longhu Mountain, they can't get along with each other even if they want to.

There is another passage from where Donggong Ruosu broke in just now.

It was deep and dark, and no one knew where it led to, but it was definitely peaceful along the way. The Taoists and some members of the White Lotus Sect were walking in the front, waiting to meet up at the next level.

Even with the help of the old saint, this living antique, Chen Yi still didn't know what the Taiyi she mentioned was, and the same was true for Yin Weiying.

The Taiyi she knew was limited to Taoist names such as the Five Directions Taiyi God, the Xiantian Yiqi, and the Central Palace Emperor Taiyi. Taoist gods are complicated and the pantheon is vast. Everyone has his or her own expertise. If one does not delve into some Taoist technique or secret method, one will only have a superficial understanding of many gods.

Since Chen Yi is here, let him deal with that matter... Yin Weiying would think about it from time to time.

During this time, many Taoists turned around to look at Donggong Ruoshu, with different looks, some with fear, some with dread, some with curiosity. This innocent girl seemed to have never experienced such a scene before, so she shrank behind Chen Yi, as if she was using him as a shield to move forward.

No one knows where she came from, let alone how she has the ability to look directly at the gods.

Yin Weiying looked at these gazes, some of which were filled with awe and some with surprise. He pretended to be confused, and his long, autumn-water eyes turned slightly, then suddenly he determined.

The one called Qing Yuan glanced at the place twice more.

The new fairy girl has been found!

An intuition that could not be denied flashed through his heart like lightning, causing ripples. Yin Weiying tried his best to keep his mind calm and pondered the possibilities.

While she was thinking, everyone had already passed through the corridor. Torches cleared away the misty fog around them, and an ancient cable bridge could be seen in front of them.

The journey was peaceful as usual, but suddenly I saw a cable bridge in front of me. Of course I became nervous. The torch in my hand made my shadow look very long. When I tried to step onto the bridge, my shadow was shaking and looked weird.

After the test, everyone looked at Donggong Ruoshu almost at the same time. The latter paused for a long time before reacting and nodded.

That means nothing will happen.

So the people walked slowly across the cable bridge one by one. Chen Yi took Donggong Ruoshu with him and walked across without stopping.

He held her hand tightly, and even though the cable bridge was shaking, Yin Weiying didn't feel shaken at all.

There was an inexplicable warmth flowing through her heart. Unconsciously, the scene of the underground palace flashed through her mind. Her heart trembled, but when she stood firm, she felt a little depressed again.

He held Yin Weiying like this then, and he held me like this now...

The road under my feet continues.

When they reached the next fork in the road, everyone looked towards Donggong Ruoshou again as they did before, and only continued on their way after getting the latter's confirmation.

Unconsciously, this seemed to have formed a small habit. With Dong Gong Ruoshu's presence, everyone who had been uneasy since they entered the tower now had some peace of mind and no longer had to be as nervous as before.

All in silence.

Since going deeper, they have seen people die in front of them, and the team's talking and laughing have almost died out. The only sounds left are footsteps, breathing, and the swinging of swords. Everyone moves forward slowly until they reach the next open space.

Suddenly a voice was heard.
"have…"

At the moment when just one word was spoken, the wind suddenly blew, and the invisible space was seen moving strangely!
Meet the remnant soul again.

In the blink of an eye, everyone formed a sword formation and a bloody battle was about to break out.

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

Soon, the bloody battle was over.

The remaining spirits were naturally wiped out here. There were not many of them, only a few of them. It would not be difficult to deal with them if they were arranged in a good formation. However, these remaining spirits killed people invisibly, so it was very easy to succeed in a sneak attack.

Moreover, the remaining spirits here seemed to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They were not as ferocious as before and seemed to be much weaker.

Everyone took a breath and looked around again.

Looking around, the space was vast, many utensils were covered in dust, the murals on the wall were badly broken and the contents could not be seen clearly, and among the mess on the ground there were some things that did not match the place.

There were scattered copper coins, a broken and cracked Bagua mirror, a tattered Taoist robe piled up on one side, and a magic sword leaning against the wall, like a cenotaph, and there were eight such cenotaphs. Everyone gasped.

Someone couldn't help but quickly stepped forward, identified the inscription on the sword, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's Uncle Yuan Ding's sword..."

The Taoists' faces turned pale. Zhao Hun sighed slowly and could only recite the scriptures to comfort the soul silently.

These are the cenotaphs of the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain.

Longhu Mountain has been searching for the Sword of Slaying Evil for two thousand years. The tower is full of dangers, and the Taoists in Longhu Mountain don’t know if they can get out alive, so they can only hastily build tombs for their fellow disciples here.

After a simple worship and chanting of mantras to comfort the souls, everyone set out again, the atmosphere above them even more depressing than before.

Even though this should have been expected,
The Sword of Slaying Evil is a highly valuable weapon for the Longhu Mountain. According to legend, it was bestowed by the Jade Emperor. Since it has been left in this white pagoda, countless people from Longhu Mountain must have resolutely entered the pagoda over the past thousands of years, but all ended up returning empty-handed. No matter who died here, they were insignificant to Longhu Mountain in the past two thousand years.

This is insignificant in the two thousand years of history, but who knows if they will be the next group of insignificant people?

No time to think too much.

There are more remnant spirits coming to kill us from the front.

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

It won't take long.

When the sword flashed, Chen Yi was grabbing Donggong Ruoshu's collar.

The blood line condensed from the residual soul almost passed by her throat, cutting a three-inch deep groove on the stone wall.

Immediately, Chen Yi's sword broke through, and the latter was instantly enveloped by the majestic sword intent and could no longer struggle.

"Kun position left seven!"

Donggong Ruoshu said in a low voice.

The Taoists in the sword formation moved left without hesitation and attacked the attacking residual spirits.

“Three steps to the right!”

The White Lotus Sect members tried to evade the attack by rolling and dragging, but their original footholds were suddenly filled with bone spurs like icicles. They were shocked to realize that there was a spirit lurking in the seemingly peaceful corner. If the woman had not reminded them, they would have been torn to pieces.

"The world turns upside down!" The Taoists of Longhu Mountain suddenly changed their formation.

The sword's edge stirred the air currents, creating a crack in the mist.

Soon, behind the fog, one could see a mountain of bronze vessels, and an object shaped like a sundial was glowing faintly.

"Destroy it!" Zhao Hun shouted.

Before he finished speaking, the sword force broke, the sundial shattered into pieces, and the entire space shook violently, and it took a long time before it stopped.

The remaining spirits all dispersed, and although some people were injured, fortunately no one died.

Donggong Ruoshu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when someone suddenly pulled her collar. She turned around and saw Chen Yi's serious face again.

For no reason, she felt strangely guilty and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It was very dangerous just now, did you know that?"

Just now, in order to command these Taoists and White Lotus Sect members, Yin Weiying controlled Donggong Ruoshu to take a few steps forward. He was not paying attention for a moment and was almost injured by the violent remnant spirit.

She didn't care much, but Chen Yi's nervousness was real.

"I..." Facing his face, she felt a little guilty. Chen Yi was always difficult to deal with when he was angry. She was deeply impressed by this. "I was just careless, not on purpose."

"Oh, if there is something wrong, wouldn't it be useful to do it on purpose?" he said coldly.

Donggong Ruoshu lowered his head and remained silent.

After a while, Chen Yi said coldly: "Give me your hand, I want to hit your hand."

After hearing these words, Yin Weiying hesitated for a moment. Since she could get away with it like this, then it didn't matter if she suffered some skin pain. So, she reached out her hand tremblingly and closed her eyes.

His fingertips touched her, and her palm felt slightly cold. When she opened her eyes, she saw him writing the character for bamboo and then the character for book.

That's the word "stupid".

Yin Weiying was stunned, not knowing what to say, and could only stand there stupidly.

After a while, I turned around and saw him sternly lecturing me, "Miss Donggong, if you provoke me again, I won't write it on my hand next time."

"Where do I write it?"

Chen Yi remained silent and just patted the scabbard.

Yin Weiying stiffened suddenly, his buttocks swung twice, and his face turned red in an instant.

She lowered her head, and after a while, she blushed and cursed in a low voice: "Lecher."

How could she not know how lustful he was? She actually mistakenly thought that he was really going to hit her. This man never had good intentions.

Fortunately, she learned a lesson and no longer offended him, nor would she fall into the situation of writing peaches. Having said that, she would not get too close to him, let alone get close to him in bed...

No, weren't they close to begin with... No, she was talking about Donggong Rushu, not her... No, that wasn't right either...

Yin Weiying couldn't help but blame himself for thinking about these things.

However, in a trance, she accidentally saw herself and Yin Weiying as two different people.

Donggong Ruoshu took a deep breath. Now was not the time to be entangled. It would be better to think about other things.

For example...the fairy lady.

She finally confirmed it!

It must be Qing Yuan who was like a mute and didn’t speak much from beginning to end.

She is so ordinary, and I don't know how he fell in love with her. They have been flirting with each other countless times along the way.

Yin Weiying frowned slightly, wondering if Chen Yi's taste had changed. After being used to eating delicacies from land and sea, he wanted to try some whole grains for a change. Or, something more serious was that he was not attached to her body, but only to her feelings.

In short, it must be that Qing Yuan was ignorant of self-discipline and was manipulating her Jin Tong.

Yin Weiying thought to himself that he should wait for a break and then confront her face to face to give this wild cat who came from nowhere a warning.
