The Wheel-Turning Master

The Qiaoshan Sect's Grand Master is famous and is the number one among the three Yuanying Sects.

Everyone on the field bowed from afar in the direction of the Immortal Bridge, very respectful.

Gu Qingshui turned into green water and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The great men left, Yue Fengshu said a few polite words, and the people from all walks of life bowed to the main hall again, and then went back to their homes.

Some familiar people also made private connections and talked elsewhere.

Lin Bai was honest and silent, his mind was in a mess.

The long-heard-of-famous wood monster appeared just now, and Lin Bai was sure that he had been looked at more by him.

The reason was probably that he was too deeply entangled with the dead wood cicada. He had seen the power of the dead wood cicada and the jade cicada in the cave. He also absorbed a wisp of Yuanying's true meaning from the jade cicada, which gave him today's magical powers.

Lin Bai had asked many people about the wood monster, but he only knew a little about its temperament and experience, and didn't know where the wood monster came from.

"Sister Zhen said that she and Mu Yao are from the same family... Who is Sister Zhen? Where did Senior Mu Yao come from?"

But no matter what, Mu Yao can be considered half of his master.

"Senior," Lin Bai pulled Zhu Jiancong and asked curiously, "What is the relationship between that Senior Mu Yao and Gu Laozu?"

"I don't know." Zhu Jiancong had a sparse white beard, "Senior Mu Yao didn't form a fetus for long, maybe he received the favor of Gu Laozu."

Unable to get any information, Lin Bai looked at Zhu Jianyang again.

Zhu Jianyang didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.

The young cultivator could only hear some of the temperament and past stories of those Nascent Souls who came and went. Once the matter involved secrets, it was normal for him not to know.

Lin Bai and the four people of the Zhu family waited for a while, and Gu Fang came to call them.

Leaving this place, they walked forty or fifty miles behind the main hall, crossed the continuous mountains, and climbed another mountain.

This mountain is called Qingyun Mountain, which is the land of the Gu family and also belongs to the Qiaoshan School. The spiritual land on the top of the mountain is five levels high, but it is small and far inferior to the blessed land of Xianqiao.

Most of the low-level children of the Gu family live at the foot of the mountain. Those who are outstanding or favored by the elders can live higher.

When they arrived in front of the main hall at the foot of the mountain, Gu Fang stopped and asked everyone to wait outside.

Lin Bai tried to get close to her again and said, "Sister Fang, I didn't know that Senior Mu Yao was so close to our family!"

"Of course." Gu Fang smiled with a sense of satisfaction, "The ancestor loved to help the younger generation in the past."

"I don't know what happened between Senior Mu Yao and Ancestor Gu? Let's reminisce about it again." Lin Bai asked curiously.

"This..." Gu Fang paused and said, "Senior Mu Yao should have received the favor of the ancestor."

So you don't know either? Lin Bai didn't ask anymore.

After a while, Li Shouyan, the head of the Huaqing Sect, came out with the elders of the sect, and Lin Bai and the Zhu family saluted together.

After waiting for another half an hour, Tian Guiqin, the head of the Jindantian family, came out with three young descendants.

"Zhu Jiancong, how come you are so old?" Tian Guiqin looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a kind face, holding a whisk, and a calm look.

"Time makes people old." Zhu Jiancong bowed deeply.

Tian Guiqin nodded slightly and asked, "Who is the next one?"

"It's my nephew Zhu Yushu." Zhu Jiancong pulled Zhu Yushu over.

Zhu Yushu bowed again and called him elder.

"Yes." Tian Guiqin smiled and said, "Come to Guinongshan more often in the future."

"Yes." Zhu Yushu bowed again.

Tian Guiqin said no more and left with the descendants.

The Zhu family was at a loss, not knowing why the Tian family suddenly showed goodwill. Although the Zhu and Tian families are both members of the Gu family, they rarely interact.

"Junior sister Gu, what's wrong?" Zhu Jianyang asked Gu Fang.

"Of course it's a good thing." Gu Fang smiled and walked forward into the hall, "Come in."

Everyone hurriedly followed.

The hall was quite dim, with a tablet on top. Two people sat below, Gu Jinzhen and Gu Jiuzhong.

Behind each of them stood one person, Gu Yao and a young man practicing Qigong.

"Although the ancestor has passed away, the friendship between our two families has not been severed." Gu Jinzhen waved his hand, indicating that he should not be too polite, "Yushu, manage Fengming Mountain well in the future and spread your descendants."

"Yes." Zhu Yushu bowed.

"Go to the Guinong Mountain of the Tian family in a few days." Gu Jinzhen stroked his beard, "You are not young anymore, and you are still alone, it's not right."

Lin Bai finally understood at this moment that the Gu family wanted the Tian and Zhu families to marry.

The Zhu family has no golden elixir, and the Tian family has two golden elixirs, so the Zhu family borrowed the power of the Tian family.

Thinking more deeply, Lin Bai estimated that the Gu family was going to recuperate. The incident of Gu Jinzhen confronting Yue Fengshu in Longmenfang will probably not happen again.

The Zhu family members bowed together.

Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "My family has just lost a family member, and there are many things to do. It is indeed impolite."

"I dare not." Lin Bai immediately bowed.

"You are sensible." Gu Jiuzhong waved his hand, and the young man behind him stepped forward with a jade plate with an exquisite wooden box on it.

Lin Bai bowed again and took it.

"I heard Feixue say that you like Chen Jianxian's calligraphy, and there happened to be a copy at home." Gu Jinzhen said tiredly, "It was when Chen Jianxian achieved the Yuanying stage, the ancestor went to congratulate him, and then he got it."

"Thank you, senior." Lin Bai was respectful, thinking that Sister Pei didn't have to go to Fengming Mountain to look at calligraphy all the time.

"This is Gu Wushang, you should get closer to him in the future." Gu Jiuzhong pointed at the young man.

Gu Wushang bowed to Lin Bai and others, and they returned the greeting.

"Fang'er, send them back." Gu Jinzhen waved and everyone left.

After leaving the hall, Lin Bai became even more shameless and thanked Gu Fang, but he didn't give her any thank you gift.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, why not go see the snow?" Gu Fang said with a smile.

After talking for a few more words, just as he was about to leave, he saw Yang Shu coming.

"Where's Feixue?" Yang Shu looked at Gu Fang eagerly.

"She is recovering from her injuries and doesn't see outsiders." Gu Fang sneered.

Yang Shu sighed, and pulled Lin Bai with him, saying, "Since you are here, why don't you come to my house as a guest?"

"This..." Lin Bai wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to, after all, this was the territory of Yuanying.

"Let's go! Let's drink!" Yang Shu didn't care about that, and pulled Lin Bai with him and left.

Gu Fang watched Lin Bai and Yang Shu go away, then looked at Zhu Jianyang and said with a smile: "He was raised by your family, don't let others fool him."

"That won't happen." Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled, "He has a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. Even if he is friends with the Yang family, it will not prevent him from being friends with us."

"That's right," Gu Fang nodded, "Feixue also said that he is not confused about major issues, and is a sincere and kind person. He also said that he knows etiquette and is not close to women. He also said that there are three talents of a gentleman, benevolence, wisdom, and what else..."

"Courage." Gu Wushang said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Fang held Gu Wushang's hand and nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Zhu Jiancong again and said: "Then you go by yourselves, Yuhuan stay."

Everyone said no more, Zhu Jiancong and the other two left, and Zhu Yuhuan stayed here to practice.

Lin Bai was pulled by Yang Shu, and the two went south for more than 30 miles, and came to a low mountain, where they saw a small quaint courtyard.

There was a jujube tree in the courtyard, with lots of green fruits. There were two women and one man, Yang Huanhuan and Yang Bing, sitting under the jujube tree and chatting with a young foundation-building person.

Yang Shu brought Lin Bai forward, "This is my brother Yang Chen." He introduced the young foundation-building person with a smile.

"I've heard of Brother Yun's name for a long time, and I'm lucky to meet him today." Yang Chen smiled and saluted.

"I dare not." Lin Bai returned the salute and asked curiously, "I'm an alchemist by profession, my aptitude is poor, and I'm not good at fighting. I wonder what my reputation is?"

Yang Huan glanced at Lin Bai and said nothing.

"It's the reputation of a hero in wine." Yang Chen smiled and took out a wine jar, "I got it by chance outside, please don't mind it, brother."

All of them were young people. Although the Yang family had a high status, they were descendants of Yuanying after all, and they knew etiquette and treated people like spring breeze.

The five people drank and chatted, and Lin Bai took the opportunity to ask about the wood monster, but they didn't know the details.

Lin Bai didn't ask any more questions, just talked about it.

"When I went to pick you up just now, I saw that you looked happy, but what good things did the Gu family give you?" Yang Shu asked with a smile.

"It's just a calligraphy." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Please take a look." Yang Chen is the youngest and has a naive temperament.

"They are not strangers." Yang Huan saw Lin Bai's reserve, and she couldn't help but mutter.

"It should be so." Lin Bai smiled and took out the gift box, opened it in public, and saw a piece of tattered linen.

Unfolding it and looking carefully, there are two words on it: Wu Gu.

There is no momentum, nor is there any rules, as if it was written by a beginner in calligraphy. But when you look closely, the linen carrying the two words is tattered, but the words are more pure.

Lin Bai felt that these two words were purer than the previous "sword", and he didn't know what the situation of the two words was, and what he was thinking in his heart.

Everyone was silent, just carefully observing and pondering. After only a quarter of an hour, Yang Chen closed his eyes and shook his head. Then it was Lin Bai, then Yang Shu, and then Yang Bing.

Yang Huanhuan glanced at Lin Bai, she curled her lips, waved her hand to put away the linen cloth.

Everyone sat quietly and savored it again. After a long time, they opened their eyes one by one. After a round of drinking, everyone tasted it.

"Words are the shadow of people, especially for cultivators like us." Yang Chen held the wine glass and frowned slightly. "Although I rarely go out, I have seen many predecessors leave words, some thin and free, some handsome and elegant, some ancient and elegant, all with style and meaning. Senior Chen's words fell on the rough linen, and still contained the meaning of swords. The words are extraordinary, and the person is even more extraordinary." He shook his head and sighed slightly, "Today I know what it means to return to the original simplicity."

Yang Chen said this, raised the wine glass, and said, "Drink."

Everyone raised their glasses.

After talking for a while, Lin Bai asked about Chen Zhiyuan of Daoyin Sect again.

I had asked Zhu Jianyang before, but I didn't know enough.

However, Yang Shu and others are descendants of Yuanying, so they do know more than others, but not much more.

Chen Zhiyuan, the head of Daoyin Sect, actually came from Tiejian Sect. He had no reputation before the age of 40, and his cultivation was not developed.

Later, Tiejian Sect was plundered, and Chen Zhiyuan drifted around. But somehow, he seemed to have opened his mind, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, building a foundation all the way.

Later, he cleaned up the mountains and rivers and established Daoyin Sect. Many people came and went to challenge him, but no one could win. Even Jindan cultivators could not stop Chen Zhiyuan's sword, and his reputation spread far and wide.

When he swallowed the pill into his stomach, no one in the same realm could defeat him, and his reputation became even greater. When he achieved Yuanying, he was even more known as a celestial being.

"It is said that the Iron Sword Sect was invaded and the inheritance was lost. At that time, Senior Chen was over 40 years old and only practiced Qi at the third level. Later, he sang all the way without any obstacles. Even the mundane affairs of the sect did not slow down his progress, and he successfully achieved the Nascent Soul." Yang Shu was full of emotion.

Everyone was young, and after talking for a while, they talked about other things.

Yang Chen had a strong alcohol tolerance. Several people drank and exchanged cups, and soon got drunk.

Yang Shu hugged Lin Bai and kept begging Lin Bai to pass on messages for him, complaining about his love for him but not being able to get it.

After making a fuss until midnight, everyone was drunk, leaving only Lin Bai, Yang Huan and Yang Chen.

"Shu'er and Bing'er are drunk, you take them back." Yang Huan said.

"Sister, I haven't drunk enough, don't worry about them." Yang Chen smiled.

"Be obedient!" Yang Huan acted like an elder sister.

"Okay." Yang Chen had no temper, so she could only obey and do as she was told, "Then I'll come back later, and we'll drink all night long."

"No, you are still young, you should not drink too much!" Yang Huan said.

Yang Chen had no choice but to take Yang Shu and Yang Bing away with muttering.

Only Yang Huanhuan and Lin Bai were left in the courtyard.

The two entered the house and lit candles.

"It's a bit hot." Yang Huan pulled his clothes slightly.

But the snow lamp shone obliquely on his chest, and the peach wine in his eyes was half smoked.

"Sister Huanhuan, this is not good..." Lin Bai was greedy, but also very scared.

"It's okay, the ancestor doesn't care." Yang Huan took out a gourd, stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly, and then a faint ripple spread out.

"Okay." Her face was red with wine, and she tilted her head slightly.

Her eyes were like the winding river, and her person was like the moon shining on the flower forest.

It has come to this point, Lin Bai knew that he could not retreat anymore, so he tried his best to serve, and Sister Huanhuan was also very flattering.

After a long time of fussing, they were finally able to say some private words.

"Do you have a history with that senior?" Yang Huan's face was slightly drunk, and she was more in love.

She was referring to the wood demon. She had seen Lin Bai's dead wood cicada magical power in Mianlong Mountain before. Although she didn't ask at that time, she was still very curious about the wood demon's presence today.

"No." Lin Bai said, "I am just a casual cultivator, how can I know such a person?"

"That magical power is not something that my generation can get after building a foundation. You are really blessed by heaven..." Yang Huan's tone was a little sour.

"If it weren't for the favor of heaven, how could I meet Sister Huanhuan?" Lin Bai's words were very sweet.

Yang Huan really enjoyed it, and smiled lightly.

"By the way, Sister Huanhuan," Lin Bai kept talking, "I want to comprehend the pure sword meaning of Senior Chen. Sister Huanhuan, can you help me find someone to make a few flying knives? They need to carry pure meaning and be hard and sharp."

Lin Bai asked Jiang Huo to do this before, but Jiang Huo received the order of Jiang Xingchi and went out on business, so this matter was delayed.

Now that he met Sister Huanhuan, Lin Bai became even more shameless, and he just took advantage of her.

"There is someone in my family who is good at refining weapons." Yang Huan did not refuse, but looked at Lin Bai and asked, "How many do you need to make?"

"Of course the more the better." Lin Bai hurriedly urged her.

"That won't work." Yang Huan smiled and shook her head, "Now it seems that I can only make one."

"Why one? Sister Huanhuan is the best to me!" Lin Bai immediately used all his skills to serve Sister Huanhuan well.

After more than half an hour, Yang Huan rested enough and stretched out two fingers, "Two."

"..." Lin Bai finally understood that Sister Huanhuan, who was beautiful and kind, had also followed the old path of Jiang Yatou and started to play tricks.

There was no way. Lin Bai always knew how to live and didn't want to go out to spend spirit stones, so he could only serve carefully.

It was already late at this time. By dawn, only four swords were collected, and it was unknown when they could be delivered.

Lin Bai still wanted to fight, but Sister Huanhuan felt distressed.

"Next time I'll go to Chunyu's Zhutao Garden, and we'll talk about the rest then." Yang Huan was so familiar with the Taoist scriptures that he knew the story of exhausting the pond to catch fish.

Not long after, Yang Chen came again.

"Send him away from the mountain." Yang Huan ordered Yang Chen to do something.

Lin Bai followed Yang Chen and headed east. After leaving the territory of Qiaoshan Sect, the two parted ways and agreed to drink again another day.

Passing Tianchi Mountain and entering Xinyifang.

Lin Bai did not stop and came to Crystal Palace again.

Meng Yuan sent a letter last time, but Qu Ruyi didn't say anything in the letter, just complaining about her being locked up, and also blamed Lin Bai.

So until now, Lin Bai didn't know what happened to Xiuxiu.

"No letter has been sent." The old cultivator at the counter of Crystal Palace shook his head.

"Has the disciple who got the opportunity returned to the sect?" Lin Bai asked again.

"He hasn't returned yet." The old cultivator shook his head and said with a smile, "He must be still consolidating his realm. Fairy Chen Yu has also given him other instructions."

Lin Bai had no choice but to write another letter.

"Please pass it on to Senior Sister Meng Yuan." Lin Bai sealed the letter.

"Meng...Meng Yuan?" The old cultivator looked Lin Bai up and down, as if he had doubts.

"Qu Ruyi was put in solitary confinement, so I can only ask Senior Sister Meng Yuan to pass it on." Lin Bai explained.

"So that's it." The old cultivator stroked his beard and felt relieved, "I said that you always send letters, which clearly shows that your friendship is very strong. Meng Yuan has always been a senior sister, and she will never steal the love of the junior sister."

"..."Lin Bai had no choice but to take out a bottle of Tiger Wolf Pills and give it to him.

After talking for a while, Lin Bai went to Tianchi Pavilion again.

Following Yao Qianyuan, they went up to the quiet room on the second floor and sat down.

"I heard you went to Qiaoshan Sect." Yao Qianyuan poured tea for him. "When you sent Pei Ning up the mountain, you were inconspicuous, but now you have caught the attention of the Gu family."

"It's just that you have better luck." Lin Bai found that Yao Qianyuan was a little sad.

The two talked for a while, and Lin Bai returned to his cave.

Not long after, Miaomiao came to the door.

After asking, he found out that it was Jiang Xiaobai who sent her to invite him.

The master and apprentice walked towards Yuhu Lake, and Lin Bai asked casually: "You are so diligent, did you receive benefits?"

"Miaomiao dare not." She didn't speak in a panic, and her face was still smiling.

"When you lie, don't hide from other people's eyes." Lin Bai immediately stopped teaching his apprentice, "Since you lie, you have to believe it in your heart. Otherwise, if others see through your lies, you will suffer."

"Yes." Miaomiao bravely admitted her mistake.

"No!" Lin Bai immediately pinched her face and said, "Don't lie anymore!"

"Miao Miao, listen to Master, and never lie again!" Miao Miao was serious and looked up at Lin Bai. Her eyes did not dodge, but were very serious.

Lin Bai could not tell whether what she said was true or false. When he touched her hand and found it was a little hot, he realized that she was coaxing him again.

"Miaomiao, who did you learn this from?" Lin Bai glared at her.

"From my master." Miaomiao smiled.

Lin Bai looked at her, making sure she wasn't lying this time.
