The Wheel-Turning Master

After only half a day, the three factions pulled out their camps and sailed away in flying boats.

On the Gu family's flying boat, Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang were playing chess and chatting. One of the Gu family's Qi practitioners came to look for them.

"Ancestor invites you." There was a smile on Lianqi's face, neither humble nor overbearing.

The two of them quickly left the cabin and went back to the Feizhou Hall to look for the Golden Needle.

When he got to the ground, he saw Gu Jinzhen sitting upright with a bad look on his face, as if he had something on his mind.

There were not many people, Gu Fang was standing by, Gu Feixue and Gu Yao were also there.

Everyone bowed, Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly, "We are not outsiders, please sit down."

Lin Bai sat down obediently, wondering if he would be rewarded now? The Gu family had previously promised a condition, and there was also the matter of helping Sister Pei. In addition, with the Yuanying family's reputation, there must be rewards.

"Is Zhu Jiancong okay now?" Gu Jinzhen asked Zhu Jianyang.

This Zhu Jiancong is the contemporary head of the Zhu family, an old man.

"The head of the family is old and probably only a few years old." Zhu Jianyang said.

"That's what happens if the road is not developed." Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly, "Do you have any good seedlings at home?"

"There are a few." Zhu Jianyang smiled bitterly, "My family has a small population and has lost many pillars. Now it would be good to have a few foundation-building seedlings."

"You don't need to focus too much on aptitude, character is also quite important." Gu Fang suddenly smiled and interrupted, "Look at Brother Yun Xian, his aptitude is average, and he also practices elixirs, but his cultivation has not dropped. He has another blessing. , I went into the mountain three times without any injuries.”

Gu Feixue and Gu Yao looked at each other and said nothing.

Lin Bai smiled slightly, but in his heart he felt that he had made a mistake. If he got hurt, he would have to add another stroke to his credit book.

"It is indeed a blessing." Gu Jinzhen also nodded slightly, "But if we really talk about blessing, we have to count the little girl from Yunxia Sect."

For a while, no one answered. Gu Feixue and Gu Yao looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

"Let's get back to business." Gu Jinzhen looked at Zhu Jianyang, "Your family and my family are old friends. Everyone in Qiaoshan knows that Fengming Mountain was chosen by my ancestor for your family." He tapped the low case lightly and relaxed. Xu continued: "Whether a family is prosperous or not depends on the people. As long as you manage it with heart, work together, and work as one, you will be able to hear the sound of the phoenix in the future."

These words were regarded as a promise to the Gu family, and they meant to protect peace.

Zhu Jianyang stood up and thanked him.

Gu Jinzhen looked at Lin Bai again and asked, "Are you practicing in the Jiang family now?"

"Yes." Lin Bai answered honestly, thinking that you had asked before.

Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly and asked, "Would you like to join our Qiaoshan Sect to practice?"

"This junior is used to being a casual cultivator. I don't know the etiquette and cannot enter the hall of everyone." Lin Bai bowed and replied.

"What's the point?" Gu Yao interrupted, "We monks don't have to stick to etiquette. If you join our Qiaoshan Sect and go out in the future, who can blame you for etiquette?"

"Yao Yao." Gu Fang was in charge after all, so she could understand others' polite refusals, so she pressed Gu Yao's arm to signal her not to say anything more.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yao was unconvinced, "Brother Yun has a great favor with us, who dares to bully him? When he gets married, I will find a match for him."

"Yao Yao," Gu Fang felt tired, "Brother Yun Xian has his own Taoist companion, you don't need to ask any more questions."

"Have a Taoist companion? Whose girl?" Gu Yao asked curiously, "I also plan to tell Yang Bing to him!"

Don’t you have a grudge against Yang Bing? One calls me a bitch, and the other calls me a slut. Are you treating me as a nuisance? Lin Bai lowered his head to drink tea, inexplicably thinking of Yao Qianyuan.

"He is a high-ranking disciple of the Tianchi Sect. You don't need to ask any more questions." Gu Fang looked helpless.

"Okay." Gu Jinzhen said. He looked at Lin Bai and said, "Since you want to be at ease, we won't force you to wait. As I said before, my Gu family is a true promise." He pointed at Gu Fang and said: " If you have anything else to do in the future, you can come to Fang'er. If she can take charge, she will definitely help. "

"Thank you, senior." Lin Bai replied respectfully.

"I came out in a hurry. I will go to Jiang's house to play with you some other day." Gu Fang said with a smile.

It’s because I didn’t bring a suitable gift, so I’ll make up for it when I get back. It seems that the gift will not be light.

"I'll just wait for my sister." Lin Bai smiled.

"I'll come and play with you too!" Gu Yao said with a smile, "Sister Feixue said that you are a sincere person with character and character, and that you are a friend worth making."

Zhu Jianyang glanced at Lin Bai and smiled silently.

Lin Bai quickly said a lot of kind words.

"You are all young people. It is good for you to move around more." Gu Jinzhen stroked his beard, "But you need to take good care of yourself first..."

Having said this, Gu Jinzhen suddenly stopped and looked to the northwest.

That's where the Qiaoshan Sect is.

Then they saw tears rolling down Gu Jinzhen's old face. Gu Feixue and Gu Yao also had tears welling up. Gu Fang's eyes were wide open.

As a monk, you will never do this for no reason. It must be something you feel in your heart, and it concerns someone very close to you.

Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang looked at each other, each at a loss.

"Not waiting for us to return..." Gu Jinzhen stood up, wrapped his sleeves around Gu Feixue and Gu Yao, and hurriedly left the flying boat and headed northwest.

Gu Fang chased out to see, and Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang followed.

When they got outside the cabin, they saw Gu Jinzhen's escape light already in the distance. All the people accompanying him came out of the cabin to have a look, but they didn't know what it meant.

Gu Fang had a look of despair and helplessness on her face, as if she knew something.

"Please don't spread the word about what happened here." Gu Fang saluted Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang.

This must be something serious happening to the Gu family.

Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang naturally agreed without asking any questions, and just went back to the cabin to rest.

The two of them didn't talk much, they each closed their eyes and practiced.

Qiaoshan sent various flying boats to Xinyi Fang. The four major Jindan sects and the children of each Jindan family got off the flying boats and went back to their respective families.

"It's only been four months, but I feel like I'm in another world." Zhu Jianyang sighed when he saw the people coming and going in Xinyi Square.

"Senior, after experiencing the realm of death and life, his state of mind has become more and more clear, and his cultivation will definitely be able to take another step forward." Lin Bai smiled.

"Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, so we have something to gain." Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled, "You don't need to call me senior anymore. We are in the same realm, no higher or lower, and we have experienced life and death together. Although I am older, we should be called brothers. yes."

"I dare not forget the support that my predecessors gave me in the past." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Zhu Jianyang didn't force himself and took Lin Bai back to Fengming Pavilion.

"Uncle!" Zhu Yumao cried when he saw Zhu Jianyang and Lin Bai coming back.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jianyang looked helpless.

"Outsiders are spreading rumors that many people have died in Mianlong Mountain. I..." Zhu Yumao wiped away his tears.

We went up to the second floor, entered the quiet room, and sat down each other.

"I'm back alive, but is there anything else?" Zhu Jianyang asked, stroking his beard.

"And..." Zhu Yumao wiped away the tears on his face and said again: "There is news from Yushu that the old family master had a dream last time, which is a sign that he will die soon." He really did not regard Lin Bai as an outsider. Wait until all the secrets are revealed.

"No matter how much you cry, can you let him live for two more days?" Zhu saw that Yang was facing life and death, and his mood became more and more calm. "He is one hundred and eighty-seven years old. He was injured in his early years. He will definitely not live to two hundred, so he should arrive."

As he spoke, Zhu Jianyang counted on his fingers, "Starting from the old sister, Zhu Jianshan disappeared, Zhu Jiancong followed immediately, and the next one is Zhu Jianyuan."

He looked at Zhu Yumao and asked, "Who will be given the position of head of the family?"

"My old master wants you to be the leader." Zhu Yumao said quickly, "He said that after all, Yushu is young and has a strong temper. Our Zhu family needs a responsible person to take charge."

"He is not confused, but he still underestimated Yushu! Yushu has a bit of a fierce temper, but he is not a reckless person!" Zhu Jianyang smiled and said: "My Zhu family is weak and has a lot of bad luck, and I have nothing to do. What is the thought of the head of the house? Let Yushu be the head of the house and create a new atmosphere!"

Zhu Yumao said: "Yushu is new to the foundation construction, so I'm afraid it doesn't have enough prestige."

"Prestige? What kind of prestige does the Zhu family have? How could I not know?" Zhu Jianyang shook his head in disdain. Seeing that Zhu Yumao was about to cry again, he said: "I have done meritorious service this time. I asked Gu Fang to go there. Can hold down the field.”

"It would be nice to have someone from the Gu family." Zhu Yumao was convinced.

"Are there any rumors outside?" Zhu Jianyang asked.

"It's nothing." Zhu Yumao thought for a while and replied: "The former head of the Tianchi Sect, Liu, had a bad temper due to the death of his direct relative, and had a quarrel with the elder Yao Wanshan."

Zhu Jianyang glanced at Lin Bai, who frowned and looked curious.

"Is there anything else?" Zhu Jianyang asked again.

"If there are any more rumors..." Zhu Yumao lowered his voice and said, "Half a month ago, there were shouts and shouts in the west, and there were lights at night, and the Nascent Soul was under great pressure."

The headquarters of Qiaoshan School is in the west of Xinyi Square.

Something really happened to the Gu family? Lin Bai kept thinking about it. The previous time Gu Qingshui returned halfway, Gu Jinzhen and Gu Fang looked dejected, and later they cried together... From this point of view, what happened to the Gu family was not a trivial matter, and must involve Yuanying.

But Gu Qingshan, the ancestor of the Gu family, still has hundreds of years to live before he reaches his end of life. Who can touch him?

Is it the Supreme Leader who takes action against the ancestors against the Gu family? There is really nothing the Gu family can do. The ancestor has already had a glimpse of the great power of the Great Dao in the late Yuanying stage. Gu Qingshan is in the early stage of the Yuanying stage with no hope of the Dao, so he is definitely no match.

But why is it like this? Even if there is internal strife in the Nascent Soul Sect, they will not easily push to death, let alone the two Nascent Souls of the Gu family!

Besides, the foundation of a sect comes from all aspects. But in essence, great power belongs to the individual. One Nascent Soul is more important than ten golden elixir seedlings! If a Nascent Soul dies, the strength of the sect will be greatly reduced.

Lin Bai thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

"Back off." Zhu Jianyang waved his sleeves and chased people away.

Zhu Yumao left obediently.

After Zhu Yumao left, Zhu Jianyang looked at Lin Bai.

"Does the Gu family have an old grudge against the Supreme Prince?" Lin Bai asked in a low voice.

Now that the Zhu family has long been tied to the Gu family's broken ship, he has been through the Mianlong Mountain incident, so he can be regarded as half of the Gu family. If someone wants to cause trouble for the Gu family, they must first test the Gu family's vassalage. Then both the Zhu family and himself may be in trouble.

"I'm not sure about this." Zhu Jianyang also had a surprised look on his face, "The Nascent Soul of the Cheng family is the oldest, more than 1,800 years old. Patriarch Gu and the Supreme Master are next, both around 1,600 years old. The Yuan Ying of the Yang family has just passed 1,500 years old. Speaking of it, he is actually not that old. It is just that the Supreme Master has the highest level and is promising, while the others are hopeless." He stroked his beard for a while and said in a low voice: "Old Ancestor Gu has a good temperament that makes friends with others. Since his career became hopeless, he has gone out frequently and made many good friends. Our family was founded because of Old Ancestor Gu. With Old Ancestor Gu's temperament, he will not easily offend others. ”

Lin Bai understood. Patriarch Gu was hopeless and would not do sinful things for the sake of his family.

"Then what happened?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Do you still remember my family's affairs?" Zhu Jianyang asked with a smile.

Lin Bai certainly remembered that when he first entered the Qiaoshan area, the first people he made friends with were the Zhu family.

The Zhu family was originally a Jindan family. Later, the ancestor of the Zhu family went out with the elite foundation builders in the family. As a result, all the foundations were folded outside. Even the ancestor of the Zhu family was seriously injured and died within a few years. Since then, the Zhu family has declined.

"Who do you think my family did this for? That time, it was ordered by Gu Patriarch." Zhu Jianyang whispered, "Gu family lost three golden elixirs and twelve foundation-building cultivators. After Gu Patriarch came back, he stayed in seclusion and did not see outsiders. When the Gu family's new Yuanying achieved enlightenment and held a Taoist meeting, that Gu Patriarch did not show up either, and only asked Gu Jinzhen to take a few words out."

He did not show up at such a big event as the Yuanying Taoist meeting. Either he was seriously injured and could not go out, or he had other reasons and was afraid that other Yuanying would see the truth.

It seems that not only the Zhu family's ancestor was seriously injured, but also the Gu family might have been beaten.

"So there is this relationship." Lin Bai was relieved to learn that the Xiang Patriarch had no personal grudges with the Gu family.

"If there was no such relationship, when my ancestor passed away, other families would come to occupy the territory. Otherwise, how could the foundation-building family sit on the blessed land of Fengming Mountain?" Zhu Jianyang smiled bitterly.

"What did Gu Lao Zu do? A dignified Nascent Soul cannot protect everyone, but needs the help of a group of Jindan Foundation Establishers?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I don't know. My ancestor didn't say." Zhu Jianyang shook his head. "The Nascent Soul has a lifespan of 2,000 years, and must have a plan for what he does. Gu Lao Zu... probably didn't make it sure, and there may be other reasons..."

"If it was for the Great Dao, even if he gained something, with Gu Lao Zu's initial state, there would be a series of obstacles waiting behind, and I'm afraid his lifespan would not be enough to survive until the Nascent Soul is fully developed." Lin Bai analyzed carefully, "It may also be for that little Gu Lao Zu."

"It's possible. But we are just ants to the Nascent Soul, not even chess pieces." Zhu Jianyang smiled bitterly, "The news hasn't come yet, and it may be safe. Even if there is something wrong, the Gu family has a new Nascent Soul, with a bright future, and with her protection, you and I have nothing to worry about."

Lin Bai nodded, the two stinky foundation builders are indeed not qualified to participate in the secrets of the Nascent Soul.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Bai said goodbye and left.

When they returned to the Jiang family, they saw Jiang Chun and two little girls waiting before they reached the cave.

"Master!" Miaomiao rushed forward and hugged Lin Bai, choking with sobs, "Master, you are back. Miaomiao missed you so much!"

"..." Lin Bai patted her head, thinking that it was good to have a caring apprentice, and he would accept another one later.

Miaomiao let go of Lin Bai, and then grabbed Lin Bai's hand, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"I am glad to return safely." Jiang Chun saluted with a smile.

"Senior," Jiang Yu saluted respectfully, saying, "My sister knew that you had returned, so she asked me to invite you, saying that she wanted to hear about the things in Mianlong Mountain."

Lin Bai touched his waist and agreed.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Chun, Lin Bai followed the two girls to Yuhu.

Miaomiao pulled Lin Bai, chattering all the way. She talked about the Jiang family and the Zhu family, and boasted about her hard work.

Lin Bai praised her a few words, and asked Jiang Yu about her homework.

The three talked for a long time, and saw Yuhu Lake again.

There was a black tower on the island in the middle of the lake, and a small bamboo house was newly built under the tree on the shore.

Lin Bai knocked on the door of the black tower after climbing the island in the middle of the lake.

Jiang Xiaobai was waiting when she entered the tower.

She sat cross-legged on the futon, wearing a wide Taoist robe to cover her figure. But she had a small frame and a cute face, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Have you heard of Qiaoshan..." Lin Bai asked,

"Did you come here just to say this?" Jiang Xiaobai interrupted.

"..." Lin Bai was speechless.

"Have you been away for a long time? Have you been injured? Let me check it out." Jiang Xiaobai was quite serious.

Lin Bai also had this intention. He had not tasted the beauty of fine branches and fruits for a long time, and was about to return to his hometown to find out.
