The Wheel-Turning Master

Black Tower.

"Sister Pei, please sit down."

Jiang Xiaobai led Pei Ning to the top.

Pei Ning had been here before and looked around, but saw low bookshelves and tables, just like yesterday.

"Your place is quiet, which is a good place for practice." Pei Ning glanced at the low bed behind the bookshelf, and then sat down.

Jiang Xiaobai knew what he meant. She quickly poured tea and said, "If sister likes it, then stay here for a while."

"I'm afraid it will spoil your good deeds." Peining smiled.

Jiang Xiaobai also laughed and said, "Aren't my good deeds also my sister's good deeds?" She stopped pretending.

"Aren't you afraid that the ancestors of the Qin family will find out that you are here?" Peining asked.

"That won't happen." Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

The two women talked nonsense in the boudoir for a long time before Peining asked about the serious matter.

"I heard that something happened to your family a while ago. Is it true?" Peining pressed the cup of tea.

There were rumors in Xinyi Square half a year ago that several members of the Jiang family had died. They are all people with names, including Jiang Xiangsheng, Jiang Huo, Jiang Yufeng, and Jiang Xianghan.

"Yes." Jiang Xiaobai sighed, "The soul lamp has been extinguished. I only found out later."

"What happened?" Peining asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, "Ancestor never told me these things. I asked but there was no news."

Peining nodded and asked no more questions.

The stone tablet had already been handed over to Lin Bai for disposal, and Lin Bai would not let her get involved again.

The two chatted for a while about Miaomiao and Jiang Yu's cultivation, and then left the black tower.

But all the young children of the Jiang family who were watching the ceremony were shocked. Miaomiao couldn't stop crying and was crying on Lin Bai's lap.

"It's all dispersed." Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward and dispersed the disciples.

"What happened?" Pei Ning held Miaomiao's hand and looked at Lin Bai.

"Brother Yumao is in trouble." Lin Bai shook off the feeling of loss in his heart and said: "Miao Miao has entered the Tao, her breath is unstable, let her stay here for two days, I will go to Fengming Mountain to have a look."

After a few more words, Lin Bai set off on his own.

Leaving Xinyi Square, we headed towards Fengming Mountain.

When we arrived at the place, only a few young people from the Zhu family were there. After asking, I found out that Zhu Yushu, his wife and Zhu Jianyang had both gone to Tian's house.

Is the Tian family involved? Lin Bai saw that no one in charge was there, so he called Zhu Yuyang and Zhu Mingjun.

These two are also the foundation-building seedlings of the Zhu family, and Lin Bai has always been familiar with them.

The seniority of the Zhu family was determined by the ancestor of Jin Dan, Yu Mingxin. Zhu Yuyang is of the same generation as Zhu Yushu and others, and Zhu Mingjun is of the same generation as Miaomiao.

As a result, the two of them asked questions and had no idea.

Lin Bai went to find Zhu Yuqiang again, but still didn't know anything.

There was no other way, Lin Bai could only sit and wait in the main hall.

Two days later, Pei Ning came again with Miaomiao.

Miaomiao stopped crying, only her eyes were red and swollen. Seeing Lin Bai, she couldn't hold back her tears, "Master." She walked forward, knelt down on the ground, and lay on Lin Bai's lap, crying again.

Lin Bai didn't say much, just patted her back gently.

Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai, who shook his head gently.

"It's Tian Wanjun! It's all Tian Wanjun's fault!" Zhu Yuling suddenly rushed forward, but Zhu Yuyang and others were unable to stop her.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Zhu Yuling has aged a bit, wrinkles appear on her face, her eyes have a mean look, and her hair is spread out.

"Miaomiao!" Zhu Yuling came to the main hall, staggered a few steps, fell in front of Lin Bai, pulled Miaomiao into her arms, and said, "It was Tian Wanjun who harmed your father!"

Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No way, she is a good person."

"Good person?" Zhu Yuling sneered, "You are still young, how can you tell the difference between good and bad? In the future, Fengming Mountain may not be named Zhu!" After saying this, Zhu Yuling looked up at Lin Bai again, holding both hands. He grabbed the hem of Lin Bai's clothes and said, "My family owes you as much as the ocean, and Yu Mao is your nobleman. He was harmed by the Tian family, and you must avenge him!"

Upon hearing this, Miaomiao immediately broke away from Zhu Yuling's arms, pushed Zhu Yuling away angrily, and said with red eyes: "My father told me long ago that only the Zhu family owes the master, and no master owes the Zhu family anything." ! My father and master are close friends in life and death, so I treat master like my own father!" Miao Miao became more and more angry and kicked Zhu Yuling away, "Now that the cause of my father's death is unknown, you force master to become enemies with Jin Dan. Want to harm my master?"

"Miaomiao..." Zhu Yuling actually cried, "Miaomiao, our surname is Zhu, we are a family, how can I deceive you?"

"My father's surname is also Zhu. Could it be that he has been lying to me?" Miaomiao became increasingly impatient.

"You..." Zhu Yuling cried louder and louder, grabbing Miaomiao's clothes, "I taught you an abacus and how to identify elixirs when you were a child...have you forgotten?"

"Of course I remember." Miaomiao opened her hand and retreated to Peining's side, saying, "I will teach your children how to read elixirs in an abacus tomorrow. After you die, I will tell them about them every day." ”

"You..." Zhu Yuling was stunned, then looked at Lin Bai, and said, "It's you! It was you who taught Miaomiao bad, because..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Yuqiang stepped forward and slapped her on the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious with one palm.

"She has always been resentful since she was dismissed from Fengming Pavilion." Zhu Yuqiang shook her head and sighed, "Later, when Jun Wan came to power, she went to her uncle unconvinced and was scolded by him again. From then on, she became more and more crazy. ”

Zhu Yuqiang called someone again and carried Zhu Yuling out.

After waiting for another five days, Zhu Jianyang and others did not come back.

Pei Ning couldn't stay for long, so he returned to the Tianchi faction first.

Two more days later, Zhu Yushu and others finally returned.

Zhu Yushu looked ugly, and Tian Wanjun looked like he was in a state of despair. Only Zhu Jianyang was used to wind and rain, so he looked calm.

The others were too busy to talk, and Zhu Yushu drove all the children away. Only he and his wife, Zhu Jianyang, and Lin Bai were left.

They sat down, and Lin Bai asked about the reason.

It turned out that this matter was really related to Tian Wanjun.

Tian Wanjun had not done anything big since she took over the affairs of Fengming Mountain. She just saw that the Zhu family had too little income, so she went to her mother's house to attract many precious spiritual plants.

She was originally a farmer, so she was good at it.

Then she saw that the Zhu family was in a period of transition, and no one could make pills, refine tools, or make talismans, so she called her mother's sisters and brothers to Fengming Mountain to play, and teach the Zhu family children. Even Lin Bai was bribed by her several pill recipes, and he came to Fengming Mountain from time to time to teach the skills of alchemy and talisman making.

After more than a year, the Zhu family children really learned a lot. However, the income did not improve much, of course, it was not her fault, this matter would take ten or twenty years to take effect.

Tian Wanjun is fair and gentle, and everyone in the Zhu family misses her.

Not long ago, the Yuanying Lu Haike from Jiuyin Mountain visited Qiaoshan Sect.

Although Jiuyin Mountain is at odds with Yunxia Sect, it has always had dealings with Qiaoshan Sect.

Of course, the Yang family of Qiaoshan Sect and Jiuyin Mountain also had conflicts because of the fox a few years ago.

As the fox became the ancestor of the three surnames, the news that the Yang family and Jiuyin Mountain were doing wedding dresses for others spread, and it has become a joke, but it did not prevent the Yang family from getting along with Jiuyin Mountain.

The Yuanying Lu Haike has a Jindan descendant Lu Shiping, who is a female cultivator. She went to the Tian family's spiritual land to buy some fish bead grass, a specialty of Guinong Mountain.

This fish bead grass is beneficial for Jindan cultivation, but the output is very small, and it has always been used by the Tian family.

However, Lu Shiping is a descendant of the Yuanying after all, so face should be given. Tian Guiqin, the head of the Tian family, made the decision and gave three fish bead grasses.

Lu Shiping thanked her again and again, saying that according to the rules of Jiuyin Mountain, she had to sleep with Tian Guiqin.

How could two female cultivators sleep together? Tian Guiqin was frightened and refused. Lu Shiping said that she could replace the male cultivators of the Tian family, but Tian Guiqin still refused.

Lu Shiping did not force it anymore and invited the Tian family to go to Jiuyin Mountain. It was said that the big island of Jiuyin Mountain produced a lot of seafood, but the people of Jiuyin Mountain were not good at buying and selling, so they wanted to give up some things and let the Tian family sell them on their behalf.

Jiuyin Mountain used to have a business in Xinyifang, but it was closed by the Yang family because of the fox incident and never reopened. Even in Santongfang, it was the same.

There are also markets on the coast of Jiuyin Mountain, but they are far less prosperous than Qiaoshan.

Seeing that there was such a good thing, the Tian family did not dare to agree immediately, but asked the Gu family first.

Gu Jinzhen disagreed, but Gu Jiuzhong said it was feasible. After two days of fuss, they finally agreed.

Tian Wanjun wanted to work for the Zhu family, and after knowing about her mother's family, she also wanted to take a flying boat to see if she could get some benefits.

However, she was a female cultivator after all, so it was inconvenient for her to go to Jiuyin Mountain in person. After discussing with Zhu Yushu, she sent Zhu Yumao, the manager of Fengming Pavilion.

According to Tian Wanjun, it is easier to talk business with real talents.

The Tian family didn't want to take the Zhu family to drink soup, but Tian Wanjun went back to her mother's house and cried for two days, and finally agreed to take Zhu Yumao with her nose pinched.

Since then, the Tian family sent three foundation-building and four Qi-training people, together with Zhu Yumao, a total of eight people, to Jiuyin Mountain with Lu Shiping.

The eight people stayed in Jiuyin Mountain for half a month, negotiated the contract, and went home to ask the head of the family.

However, less than two days after the eight people left Jiuyin Mountain, Lu Shiping caught up, saying that they had lost something and wanted to check the flying boat and everyone's storage rings.

The Tian family naturally disagreed, but Lu Shiping was unreasonable and smashed the flying boat with one palm.

The eight people came to discuss business this time. They had little experience in battles and did not expect Lu Shiping to turn against them. Five of them died on the spot.

Later, Lu Shiping did not stop and killed only one old Qi-training cultivator from the Tian family.

Lu Shiping scolded the Tian family for being dishonest and stopped the business. She only asked the old cultivator to go back and pass on the message.

"The people who went to my mother's house were all uncles and aunts. They were all mature people. How could they be dishonest? Yumao is honest and kind, and he would never take anything from others." Tian Wanjun wiped her tears, "Jiuyin Mountain must be slandering people!"

No one said anything.

"It's all my fault for being blinded by greed..." Tian Wanjun started crying again.

"Don't blame you." Zhu Yushu held Tian Wanjun's hand and gently comforted her.

"What do you think?" Zhu Jianyang looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai felt that Jiuyin Mountain was simply playing with the Tian family.

The Yuanying Sect was qualified to play with dogs, but the Tian family was backed by the Gu family. Therefore, this is not a slap on the Tian family's butt, this is a slap on the Gu family's face.

Moreover, Jiuyin Mountain did not assassinate, but came openly. And they left a survivor to report back.

This is really bold, as if they don't take the Gu family seriously, and even don't care about the face of Qiaoshan Sect.

Did Gu Qingshui get into trouble? Lin Bai had a headache.

"The so-called stealing is just an excuse. Yumao is an unprovoked disaster, and the Tian family is probably also affected."

Lin Bai was also very confused, so he asked again: "Who did the Yuanying Lu Haike visit in Qiaoshan Sect? When did he go back?"

"According to Gu Fang, Lu Haike first visited the ancestor Xiang but failed, then went to see the ancestor of the Cheng family, and finally went to talk to the ancestor Gu." Zhu Jianyang sighed helplessly, "When Yumao's soul lamp went out, Lu Haike had just left for a day."

Visited the ancestor Xiang but failed? Is the ancestor Xiang not here? Lin Bai remembered what the fox said, that the old ancestor had kidnapped the wood demon and seemed to be out.

That meant something happened to the Qiaoshan Sect, and Lu Haike saw the clues, otherwise why would Jiuyin Mountain slap the Gu family in the face for no reason?

"What did the Gu family say?" Lin Bai asked.

"Gu Fang went to Guinong Mountain, only said a few words to comfort them, and then went back." Zhu Yushu said.

Lin Bai was speechless. The Gu family was really unreliable. At least they should have a golden elixir!

"What did the Tian family say?" Lin Bai asked again.

"My mother's family..." Tian Wanjun shook her head and sighed, "My mother's family said that everything should be subject to the order of Gu Laozu."

The four people were silent.

After a long time, they discussed for a while and left Zhu Yushu and his wife at home. Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang went to Qiaoshan Sect to inquire about the news.

After leaving the hall, Miaomiao came to meet them.

She wore a black Taoist robe, her hair was behind her, and her eyes were slightly bloodshot.

"Don't worry at home, I'll take care of everything." Lin Bai patted her head gently.

"Yeah." Miaomiao responded softly.

Lin Bai said no more and went west with Zhu Jianyang.

After entering the territory of Qiaoshan Sect, he spent some time with the patrolling disciples and continued to walk inside.

Seeing the blessed land of Xianqiao from afar, the two split up into two groups. Zhu Jianyang went to Qingyun Mountain where Gu's family lived, and Lin Bai went to look for Sister Huanhuan.

After a long time, they finally saw someone.

Still in the same courtyard, Yang Huan came out to greet him, "I thought you wouldn't come to look for me if I didn't look for you." She was very happy and pulled Lin Bai into the house.

Seeing her pull down her clothes, Lin Bai quickly told her the reason for coming here.

"Because of Fairy Chen Yu, my family has never been in contact with Jiuyin Mountain. Therefore, Lu Haike has not come to see my ancestor." Yang Huan had a faint aroma of fruit wine on her body, her cheeks were slightly red, but she was much more serious.

"Is Ancestor Xiang on the mountain?" Lin Bai asked again.

Lu Haike wanted to see Ancestor Xiang but was not allowed to. It was possible that the Ancestor was not at home or was tripped by something.

The great power belongs to one person. Ancestor Xiang is the Dinghaishenzhen of Qiaoshan Sect. As long as Ancestor Xiang is there, no Yuanying dares to be presumptuous.

"This..." Yang Huan shook his head, "Grandmaster Xiang rarely shows up, I'm afraid only my ancestor knows about it."

"Then--" Lin Bai lowered his voice and asked, "Is there any movement from Grandmaster Gu?" He was afraid that Gu Qingshui had died silently like Gu Qingshan.

"Since the grand sacrifice, he has never shown up." Yang Huan said.

Lin Bai got the message and went to find Zhu Jianyang again.

When he arrived at Qingyun Mountain, he saw several people coming out of the side hall, including Gu Jinzhen, Gu Jiuzhong, Li Shouyan, the head of Huaqing Sect, and Tian Guiqin, the head of the Tian family.

Zhu Jianyang followed behind, with no expression of joy or anger on his face; Gu Fang followed behind, but looked like he had a headache.

Lin Bai stepped forward and saluted, but no one paid attention to him.

Tian Guiqin and Li Shouyan left with ugly faces, Zhu Jianyang pulled Lin Bai, saluted again, and followed him.

After leaving the territory of Qiaoshan Sect, the two began to talk.

"Ancestor Gu has gone to Yunxia Sect." Zhu Jianyang said.

"Yunxia Sect?" Lin Bai was stunned, "Are you going to fight?"

"Who knows?" Zhu Jianyang smiled.

"Does Ancestor Xiang agree? Or is Ancestor Xiang really not on the mountain?" Lin Bai asked.

"Who knows?" Zhu Jianyang still smiled, "People say that the fish in the pond are affected by the disaster, but we are not even fish."
