The Wheel-Turning Master

"How does it feel to be a new Foundation Builder?"

Peining sat down and smiled sweetly.

"I haven't accomplished foundation building yet, how can I know what it's like to build a foundation?"

Lin Bai pretended not to understand, but when he saw that she was still laughing, he said miserably: "I have been in danger outside one after another and lost the opportunity to build a foundation. I see the world is in a bad state, and I feel weary of the world in my heart."

"Lin Zhuanlun," Pei Ning couldn't help laughing, "You know me well. Stop using these words to deceive a little girl to coax me."

"I heard about your sect's big competition, how's it going?" Lin Bai changed the subject, came up to her, and held her hand.

Pei Ning pulled his hand back, but when he saw that he couldn't pull it back, he didn't force it.

"Number one," Peining said with a smile.

"Tell me more about it." Lin Bai saw that the roots of her ears were slightly red, and he leaned forward again, "I like to hear you talk about the competition in the door the most."

After chatting for a while, the two went to the quiet room inside.

Maybe it was because he had moved to a new place and Peining was not used to it yet, so he was more shy than usual.

After the fuss, the two talked about their separation.

"You have another mother." After Pei Ning calmed down, he started to feel weird.

Lin Bai stopped talking, unable to argue.

Pei Ning asked her about this experience in detail. Lin Bai had nothing to hide from her, so he told her everything.

He only skipped over the details of killing Jiuyin Mountain and building the foundation with Jiang Xiaobai, as well as the details of sleeping.

Lin Bai already knew that when Pei Ning went to the Black Tower to meet Jiang Yatou, the two women must have talked about it.

"Your opportunity to build a foundation was the calamity of Iron Transformation. Now that it's lost, what will you do in the future?" Peining asked.

"The road is indeed difficult, so how can we hold back?" Lin Bai was very serious, "I plan to go to Zhujia Fengming Mountain to try the opportunity of the road."

Lin Bai told her again that Yuan Ying had left a message and asked her to come with him.

Pei Ning naturally didn't say anything. The relationship between the two was very deep, even if she was asked to accompany him to fight to the death, she would not say much.

"Introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and forcibly building the foundation is extremely dangerous." Lin Bai sighed, feeling quite worried.

"Don't pretend, I didn't realize you were worried or scared." Pei Ning took out an envelope and threw it in Lin Bai's face, "If you are really worried, why not talk to your confidante."

"What kind of confidante?" Lin Bai took the letter and saw that it was written by Gai Yingqiu.

"Gai Yingqiu asked me to deliver a message to you." Pei Ning smiled happily, "Lin Zhuanlun, your popularity is getting wider and wider."

"Since she asked you to deliver the letter, she means to be frank. I am also frank." Lin Bai tore open the letter and read it.

Pei Ning also came forward and put his chin on Lin Bai's shoulder.

The handwriting was beautiful, and he didn't say anything out of the ordinary. He only told Lin Bai not to be discouraged, and that he would still have hope for the future. Let Lin Bai not worry about Pei Ning, she will take care of him secretly.

His words were quite sincere, and he really regarded Lin Bai as a close friend.

"The four Jindan sects and the four families, plus the Nascent Soul Qiaoshan sect, you have to be equally exposed to the rain and dew in the future." Pei Ning smiled strangely.

Lin Bai didn't like her, so he pushed her forward and turned her over.

After all, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time, and they had experienced the crisis of the apocalypse. Peining was not as shy as before, but was more accommodating.

After a lot of fussing, the two chatted endlessly, like an old couple chatting.

Lin Bai told the story about the Qiaoshan Sect and Jiuyin Mountain, and Pei Ning said that he would go back and find some beautiful women for Lin Bai.

One day later, a burst of spiritual power came from outside.

The door opened and it was Jiang Chun.

"My little sister heard that Junior Sister Pei was here, so she invited her to come and talk." Jiang Chun said with a smile.

"The foundation building is successful, you should go and congratulate me." Pei Ning smiled and glanced at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai didn't squint.

Jiang Chun said a few more polite words and then led the way.

As we headed south, we started chatting again.

When we came to the lake, we saw a black tower standing on a small island in the middle of the lake.

"Senior Jiang isn't here?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Uncle Clan has no way to advance, so this place has been set aside for my little sister to use." Jiang Chun untied the boat rope and said, "My little sister occupies the small island in the middle of the lake, and she also has the responsibility to protect this place."

"She just built the foundation and it occupies such a big place?" Lin Bai was envious.

"You are not outsiders, so it's okay to talk to you." Jiang Chun said in a low voice with a proud look on his face: "My little sister went out this time and killed two foundation-building monsters, and countless small Qi-training monsters. She got a lot of things. Although she spent a lot of money, she has achieved great results. Her family had high hopes for her before, and she is even more favored now."

"She has such abilities, and it's normal for her to be arrogant." Lin Bai sighed with emotion.

Jiang Chun shook his head slightly and said: "Suddenly, it is possible to change your temperament. It will be better after a while. And I don't know what she did outside. My old lady said she lost..."

At this point, Jiang Chun suddenly realized that he had said too much and quickly stopped.

"What's missing?" Peining asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, nothing." Jiang Chun is an upright gentleman, and this involves family matters, so he will never tell anyone about it.

Pei Ning didn't ask further questions and just smiled at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai pretended not to understand.

"You take care of yourself and go there by boat. I have a duty, so I won't go." Jiang Chun said.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning bowed to him, then paddled across the lake and landed on the small island in the middle of the lake.

Jiang Yu was already waiting. She bowed seasonedly and came to help Lin Bai tie the boat rope.

Peining glanced at the flying knife scabbard hanging on Jiang Yu's waist and said nothing.

"Fellow Daoist Pei, sister, please go up to the tower and talk." Jiang Yu bowed uprightly.

"Am I the only one going?" Peining asked with a smile.

"Sister said she only misses her old friends, but doesn't want to see the rest of the world." Jiang Yu told the truth, then looked at Lin Bai and explained, "Sister has been confused recently. I don't mean to be disrespectful, so please don't blame me."

She immediately sold Jiang Xiaobai.

There's really nothing I can say about this pair of sisters. The elder sister is unreliable, but the younger sister is honest and upright.

Jiang Yu sent Pei Ning to the black tower and then turned back to find Lin Bai.

She thanked Lin Bai repeatedly for the gift of the jade flute, found a fishing rod, and invited Lin Bai to fish.

"Xiao Yu'er, remember to say hello to Senior Jiang for me," Lin Bai said.

"I took note of it." Jiang Yu held the small fishing rod and nodded seriously. She stared at Lin Bai, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Did my sister bully you?"

"..." Lin Bai nodded.

"Sister loves to tease people the most. She used to bully me." Jiang Yu said very seriously, "Just ignore her in the future. As long as you ignore her, she will find it boring and won't look for you anymore."

"Be taught." Lin Bai smiled.

Jiang Yu was also very happy when she saw that Lin Bai had been relieved of her worries.

Two people, one big and one small, chatted for a long time, but they didn't catch a fish.

After a while, Pei Ning walked out of the black tower, but Jiang Xiaobai did not show up.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Yu, Lin Bai punted and left.

After leaving the ship and landing, the two walked forward for a while. Lin Bai saw the children of the Jiang family from time to time. When he met someone he knew well, he would stop and chat for a few words.

Returned to the cave and closed the door.

"What did you talk about?" Lin Bai sat down and asked casually.

"She knew you were going to forcibly build the foundation, so she was extremely worried." Peining said with a smile.

"It's normal for friends to have such worries." Lin Bai looked serious.

"She also said," Pei Ning sat opposite Lin Bai, with bright eyes and a smile, "she said that she can no longer bear the conquest, and I am afraid that she will be even more exhausted after you build the foundation, so she invited me to accompany her to relieve her fatigue. ”

What kind of nonsense is this?

Lin Bai knew that she was talking nonsense, but it was difficult to argue, so he could only find some idle talk.

He coaxed her into a smooth mood and made a fuss twice, finally making her feel comfortable.

The two packed up their things and went out to Fengming Pavilion.

When I came to the street, I heard some casual cultivators talking about iron transformation. It means that news came from Yunxia Sect that Tie Huasheng has been executed.

The two listened for a while and then stopped paying attention.

"Uncle knew that you had returned safely, and also heard that you wanted to go to Fengming Mountain, so he was waiting for you in your hometown."

Arriving at the second floor of Fengming Pavilion, Zhu Yuling poured tea herself and greeted each other before getting down to business.

After finishing pulling, Zhu Yuling held Peining's hand. The older sister was the younger sister, and she kept asking about it.

Pei Ning has a cold temperament, doesn't like these vain things, and doesn't like speaking out to refute people's face, so he frequently winks at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai saw that Pei Ning was about to lose his patience, and thinking that he had avenged the yin and yang, he said goodbye.

After leaving Xinyi Square, we headed east.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were not in a hurry, nor did they drive the spirit boat, but walked on foot.

Walking around and chatting, it feels quite relaxing and comfortable.

After walking like this for three days, they saw Zhu Yumao's manor.

"Brother Yumao, what happened? Why are there blisters on your lips?" Lin Bai asked with concern.

"She's not that unfilial daughter!" Zhu Yumao got angry when he said this. "I taught her to read, but she burned the books instead; I slapped her palms, and she said, Dad, did you eat? I punished her by not eating, and she He said that I missed her and wanted to take her away! "

The so-called old lady is Zhu Jianshui, who passed away not long ago.

Zhu Yumao looked helpless and depressed, and lamented: "She was cute and cute when she was a child. She didn't cry or make trouble, and she was extremely sensible. How come she has grown two years old and is like a demon king? I'm really going to be pissed to death!"

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and felt that this boy was not inferior to Jiang Xiaobai!

"Brother Yumao, why don't you have another baby?" Lin Bai advised.

Peining couldn't stop laughing.

"Alas." Zhu Yumao had no temper at all and asked the ordinary servants to bring Miaomiao over.

"Brother Xian, give her a lesson!" Zhu Yumao glared at Miaomiao.

Miaomiao wasn't too outrageous, she was petite and wore braids.

Lin Bai acted like an adult that children hate most and glared at her with a straight face.

Miaomiao first saluted Lin Bai, "Hello, uncle." She looked up at Peining, "Sister, you're so pretty." As she spoke, she stepped forward and pulled Peining's clothes, looking like she was trying to please him.

She is clearly not stupid and knows who to please.

Lin Bai wanted to reprimand him, but when Peining glared at him, he stopped pretending to be a master.

"Children are better off if they can eat and drink. We must be content and happy." Lin Bai said to Zhu Yumao.

Seeing that Lin Bai was timid, Zhu Yumao couldn't say anything more, so he just kept lamenting.

The three of them chatted for a few more words, and then Zhu Yumao took Lin and Pei to Fengming Mountain.

This was not Lin Bai's first time back. He was already familiar with the roads and met many people along the way.

Before reaching the main hall, Zhu Yushu had already hurried over.

He succeeded in building the foundation, his demeanor changed, and he had the potential to flourish.

After exchanging a few words, Lin Bai and Pei Ning, led by Zhu Yushu, went to pay homage to Senior Zhu Jianshui first.

After doing this, I went to pay my respects to Senior Zhu Jianyang.

"Being able to come back in peace is better than anything else." Seeing Yang's peaceful temperament, Zhu comforted him: "Besides, if you lose the opportunity to build a foundation, it doesn't mean you won't be able to build a foundation."

After saying this, he ignored Lin Bai and only asked Peining.

After asking a few questions, Zhu Jianyang took out a flying sword as a gift to his elders.

Pei Ning knew about the friendship between Lin Bai and the Zhu family, and also knew that senior Zhu Jianyang regarded Lin Bai as his nephew, so he did not hesitate to refuse and accepted the offer neatly.

"Yushu and Yumao haven't seen you for a long time. You young people go and drink and chat. We'll talk about it later." Zhu Jianyang smiled and drove them away.

Zhu Yushu has prepared a banquet here. In addition to Zhu Yumao and Zhu Yuqiang, there are also many younger generation disciples, all young people of similar age.

Sitting on both sides, Lin Bai took out the wine gourd given by Gao Yuanyuan. This gourd is a magical storage vessel, capable of storing hundreds of kilograms of wine.

Everyone drank, talked and laughed, and discussed a wide range of things. Some talked about Tiehuasheng's execution, others talked about the illegal activities in Longmenfang, and some even debated the overall situation of the East China Sea.

After chatting for a long time, Lin Baijiu drank a lot, but he didn't have much trouble. He asked Zhu Yushu about building the foundation again.

Miao Miao stood next to Zhu Yumao and said, "Daddy, drink!" She was so well-behaved that she kept pouring wine for her own father.

Zhu Yumao was so happy that his glass was dry. After she was drunk, Miaomiao began to drink secretly.

Zhu Yuqiang kept peeking at Pei Ning. When she saw Miaomiao stealing wine, she grabbed Miaomiao and slapped her butt. "Sister-in-law, I'll pour you a drink. Drink it quickly. Don't look at it. You're not as good-looking as she is." Miaomiao poured another drink for Zhu Yuqiang, very well-behaved.

When Zhu Yuqiang was also drunk, Miao Miao secretly tasted wine again.

Pei Ning sat next to Lin Bai, talking less and drinking less. She glanced at Zhu Yuqiang from time to time, but said nothing, only looked at Lin Bai meaningfully.

After drinking for a long time, the men and women of the Zhu family were all drunk, and the remaining few staggered together and blew nonsense.

"What are your plans this time?" Zhu Yushu's face was red, and he had obviously drank a lot.

"The foundation is here." Lin Bai was very confident, "I want to meet Senior Zhu Jianyang and see the Yuanying's words."

Lin Bai had a deep friendship with the Zhu family and there was no need to speak tactfully.

"Since you have confidence, then everything will be fine." Zhu Yushu agreed immediately. He looked at Pei Ning and said, "My younger brothers and sisters are studying swordsmanship in the Tianchi Sect. We should go together." He did not No stinginess.

Pei Ning saluted and thanked him.

The three of them got up and went to look for Zhu Jianyang.

"Uncle, give me a hug, give me a hug..." Miaomiao laughed and staggered over, her face flushed, obviously she had stolen a lot of wine.

Lin Bai made a serious face and reprimanded: "How old are you, do you still need someone to hug you?"

Miaomiao just kept laughing, hugging Lin Bai's legs, twisting her body and acting coquettishly. She raised her head and looked at Peining, "Sister is so pretty."

Peining was very happy to be coaxed, "Can you hug her to tire you?" She looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai had no temper and could only pick up Miaomiao.

Zhu Yushu smiled and shook his head.

Three people and one child left the place, went to find Zhu Jianyang, and told them their purpose.

"Why don't you go sober up?" Zhu Jianyang asked Fu Xu with a smile.

"I once saw a senior drink this wine and kill people with ease, which was quite heartbreaking." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Zhu Jianyang smiled, said no more, and led the way.

Zhu Yushu followed, Lin Bai hugged Miaomiao, and Miaomiao tugged on Pei Ning's clothes.

After passing the main hall and walking forward, you will see a six-story tower, which is the Zhu family's Sutra Pavilion.

Generally speaking, sects and families have such secret places to store the sect's skills and precious things. Therefore, the defenses are very strict and the formations are comprehensive.

Zhu Jianyang stepped forward, said something to the Qi Practitioner who was guarding the tower, and then opened the door and entered.

There is an old foundation builder inside the gate, with white beard and white hair, and he is in his twilight years.

"It's Brother Sheep." The old man's eyes were cloudy and there was a smile on his face. He looked at Zhu Yushu and said, "This is Shu'er." He looked at Lin Bai again and said, "It doesn't look like Yan'er. Where is Yan'er?" Who is this child?" He looked at Peining again and nodded, "What a handsome girl, why haven't I seen you before?"

"Brother, I'll take the juniors upstairs to have a look." Zhu Jianyang took out the token.

"Ancestor!" Miaomiao smiled and scratched Lao Xiu's beard.

"Okay, okay." The old monk smiled and nodded, "I like this doll. Don't search for Sheep. Give her the right one." The old monk smiled kindly.

"Brother, please sit down." Zhu Jianyang smiled and pulled Zhu Yushu over and said, "Yushu, come and talk to your uncle."

After saying that, Zhu Jianyang greeted Lin and Pei to go upstairs.

There are six floors in the Sutra Pavilion. Three people and one child climbed to the highest floor without stopping.

There is a portrait of an old man hanging on the wall above, and Zhu Jianyang pays homage to it.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning knew that this was the ancestor of the Zhu family's golden elixir, so they also followed suit. Miaomiao was hugged by Lin Bai and also bowed in salute.

In the middle of the sixth floor, there is a six-foot-high platform. There is a wooden frame on it, with a picture framed on it.

There is only one word "sword" in it, but there is no thinness, strength, gracefulness, elegance, or ancient charm.

His handwriting is like a child writing for the first time, or like a blind old man's essay.

But if you look closely, you can see that underneath his clumsy brush strokes, there is a sense of purity and purity, unstained by dust.

Immaculate, without any trace of filth. To the point of brushing away the dust in my heart and brushing away the heavy past.

Lin Bai held Miaomiao with one hand and covered her eyes with the other. He read the words carefully and ignored Miaomiao's squeeze on his hand.

"How?" Zhu Jianyang asked Peining with a smile.

"Promise." Peining stared blankly.

"Senior," Lin Bai put a hand on Miaomiao's face and asked seriously: "In the past debate on alchemy at the bottom of the lake, senior once mentioned that a person's life was a decayed iron sword, which is similar to the life of an iron-born person. Could it be that This senior?"

Zhu Jianyang smiled and nodded.

"How does this person compare to Tiehuasheng?" Lin Bai asked.

"How can a firefly compete with the sun and the moon?"

Zhu Jianyang smiled and said: "This senior's surname is Chen. Before the age of forty, his reputation was not obvious and his cultivation level was very low. Then he got an opportunity and made rapid progress, singing all the way. Qi training realm, strong killing and foundation building, foundation building Then he killed Jin Dan by force, and then he attained the enlightenment of Yuanying, which was praised by everyone."

"The iron sword is originally stained by rust, but the sword's intention is spotless, and so are humans?" Lin Bai asked.

Zhu Jianyang shook his head and said: "How can I know about those heavenly beings? It's just that their sword intentions are pure and their methods are upright and upright, unlike Tie Huasheng's sinister and treacherous ways. He is even more sincere and sincere. He did not kill innocent people in vain, but was extremely kind."

Lin Bai was silent.

Peining and Zhu Jianyang looked at each other and said nothing.

Miaomiao covered her eyes, grabbed her hands, stuffed her fingers into Lin Bai's mouth, and poked her nostrils hard with her other hand.

Lin Bai suddenly remembered that before Tie Huasheng's death, Gao Yuanyuan once asked: How can a man covered in patina die generously for others?

Iron regeneration: erasing the copper rust, washing away the lead, and also a bit of innocence.

"When Tie Huasheng was about to die, he had already grasped some of the pure meaning of Senior Chen, but it was a pity that it was too late." Lin Bai said.

"It is also the way to attain the Tao before death." Zhu Jianyang said with a smile.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Senior, I really like Miaomiao. If I succeed this time, can I accept her as my apprentice?"

"Master, master..." Miaomiao had already shouted.

Zhu Jianyang nodded with a smile and said, "I can make the decision myself."

"Building the foundation is here and now." Lin Bai handed Miao Miao to Pei Ning.

Zhu Jianyang Fu Xu smiled, nodded to Peining, and led her downstairs.

"Master..."

Miao Miao was hugged by Pei Ning, she smiled and stretched out her arms towards Lin Bai, just like Huang Ruhua that day.

At that time, Huang Ruhua was in despair and could not see the light of day; today, it is wonderful but innocent, bright and brilliant.
