The Wheel-Turning Master

Chapter 173: Being ordered in times of crisis

When they arrived at Fengming Pavilion, a female cultivator came to greet them.

"Uncle," the young female cultivator was named Zhu Yuhui, in her early twenties, with a sad face, "I heard that Yumao..."

Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly and went upstairs with Lin Bai.

"What about our store? After brother Yumao left, there was no one to manage it. Should we invite sister Yuling?" Zhu Yuhui chased after him and asked.

"Yuling?" Zhu Jianyang shook his head and said, "Go home and ask Wanjun, let her make the decision."

"But I heard that brother's matter was related to the Tian family..." Zhu Yuhui saw Zhu Jianyang frowning and hurriedly stopped.

"This matter has nothing to do with Wanjun, let alone the Tian family. Don't gossip about it in the future!" Zhu Jianyang waved his sleeves.

Zhu Yuhui retreated obediently.

Arriving at the quiet room on the second floor, Zhu Jianyang and Lin Bai sat down separately, neither of them spoke.

Originally, the Zhu family had nothing to do with this matter, but Zhu Yumao died because of this matter.

It's really unfair. But in a battle between Yuanying, it is common to lose several Jindan, not to mention a Qi-training cultivator.

The Tian family was even more wronged. Three foundation-building cultivators died for no reason. It was really a disaster from heaven.

It was just that Lu Haike first visited Qiaoshan Sect and immediately provoked a dispute. The two must be related.

Jiuyin Mountain is weaker than Qiaoshan Sect. First, Xiang Laozu is extremely powerful and the first among the three sects; second, even if Gu Qingshan died in Qiaoshan Sect, there are still four Yuanying, one more than Jiuyin Mountain; third, Qiaoshan Sect is rich and has many talents, and there are far more Jindan cultivators than Jiuyin Mountain.

Moreover, the Gu family had just lost a Yuanying, and no Yuanying was present at the grand sacrifice, so they were embarrassed. This time Lu Haike came to bully the Gu family. If the Gu family does not give something, they will lose all the face of the Yuanying.

What does Jiuyin Mountain want to do with this action? Is it to test Qiaoshan Sect? Or does it really want to provoke a fight?

They are all Nascent Soul Sects, not Foundation Establishment Sects. Once a war breaks out, I don't know how many people will die.

"Although the two sects have had disputes in the past, they are all minor matters and do not involve the foundation of the sect. Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect have been fighting for many years, and at most, the Golden Core will take action, and rarely the Nascent Soul will end up."

Zhu Jianyang pinched his beard and frowned, "But this time Jiuyin Mountain really doesn't take the Gu family seriously. Why do they want to provoke a dispute?"

"Either for the survival of the sect or for the struggle for the Great Dao." Lin Bai smiled and added, "If the Nascent Souls of Jiuyin Mountain are all crazy, that's another story."

"How can they be crazy?" Zhu Jianyang smiled bitterly, "Even if the Nascent Soul cultivators are short of strategy, they will not easily make enemies with other Nascent Souls."

"Gu Laozu has just formed a Nascent Soul, and it is the time of spring breeze. I don't think she is a gentle person. Jiuyin Mountain may be going after her, and she will fight to the death if she is provoked." Lin Bai smiled.

"Ancestor Gu still has a plan. This time he went to Yunxia Sect in person, just to unite with Yunxia Sect and attack Jiuyin Mountain together." Zhu Jianyang said.

Lin Bai nodded, but felt that Gu Qingshui's handling of this matter was a bit rough.

The Qiaoshan Sect's Taishang was not at home, and the Cheng family's Yuanying never farted. Ancestor Gu should first unite with the Qiaoshan Sect's Yang Family Ancestor.

After all, the Yang Family and Jiuyin Mountain don't get along.

But Gu Qingshui went to find outsiders first, and even if the Yang Family wanted to help, they would feel uncomfortable.

And although Yunxia Sect and Jiuyin Mountain don't get along, they must be happy to see Jiuyin Mountain and Gu Family fighting each other, so Yunxia Sect may not necessarily take action.

"That..." Lin Bai lowered his voice, rubbed his hands, and said: "Our Ancestor Gu is a person... ahem, is he like Gu Feixue, hate evil and always concentrate on cultivation, and it's not good to ask about external affairs?"

What this means is, is Gu Qingshui a cultivation idiot?

Zhu Jianyang was an old and experienced man, and he had known Lin Bai for a long time, so he immediately understood what Lin Bai meant.

"Before Gu Laozu achieved the Yuanying stage, we had never seen her." Zhu Jianyang's tone was full of respect, "The old ancestor did see her, and he praised Gu Laozu for not being disturbed by external things and having a strong heart to seek the Tao. He also said that although Gu Laozu practiced water magic, he had a bit of fire in his nature."

Understood.

Lin Bai sighed and said, "No wonder Gu Laozu was able to achieve the Yuanying stage, so that's why. We should take Gu Laozu as a role model."

"Who said it wasn't." Zhu Jianyang nodded.

The two smiled at each other and stopped talking about Gu Qingshui.

They continued to talk for a long time, but due to their low realm, lack of vision, and lack of information, they could only come up with four words: act according to circumstances.

After talking, Lin Bai returned to his cave.

Not long after, Jiang Yu came to the door.

"Senior, how is Miaomiao?" Jiang Yu bowed first before speaking.

She was still childish, but she looked mature and more sensible than her sister.

"It's all right now. I'll bring her back in a few days." Lin Bai liked Jiang Yu very much, and asked, "Miaomiao has entered the Tao. You have been in the Tao for more than three years, why are you still at the third level of Qi training?"

"I don't know." Jiang Yu was a little depressed when she heard this, "Maybe I'm too stupid and not as smart as my sister."

"It's not about intelligence." Lin Bai reminded, "Go and talk to your ancestor another day. With your qualifications, you shouldn't be like this."

"Yes." Jiang Yu bowed and said, "My sister asked the senior to go."

Lin Bai also wanted to talk to Jiang girl. I have been worried about everything recently, and my brain has become a paste. I need fruit to warm my heart.

Arriving at Yuhu, Lin Bai climbed the black tower.

"When Yuanying acts, especially when it comes to sects, it will definitely not be aimless." After listening to Lin Bai's story, Jiang Xiaobai did not come to a conclusion, but only inferred: "As for the deeper meaning, it is not for me to know."

"Then it's the same as if you didn't say anything?" Lin Bai said.

"You asked me to say it, but you think what I said was not good?" Jiang Xiaobai said angrily, "The Nascent Soul is so tall. I look up at people, how can I see clearly?" She opened Lin Bai's hand and said, "Don't touch it. I!"

"I was wrong." Lin Bai always admitted when he was wrong.

Forgetting everything and having a lot of fun makes you feel refreshed.

"I know that you have a close friendship with Zhu Yumao, and he is Miaomiao's biological father, but even if you are extraordinary, you should not be involved." Jiang Xiaobai felt comfortable being served, and he was concerned and warned, "Revenge is due." Come someday."

"I understand." Lin Bai actually thought so too, and would talk about revenge later.

"Also," Jiang Xiaobai started to ramble, "Miao Miao has lost her loved one, and Xiao Yu'er wants to visit Fengming Mountain. You take her there."

"That's how it should be." Lin Bai left Yuhu and went to the Crystal Palace.

Qu Ruyi's letter was full of random nonsense, but he didn't say anything serious. All I know is that Xiuxiu has not left the mountain yet, and the fox has not shown his face.

Lin Bai wrote the letter and briefly asked about Gu Qingshui's visit to Yunxia Sect, but he didn't write more.

After calling Peining and telling her what she knew, Peining remained silent for a while.

"The prices of elixirs and talismans in Xinyi Square have increased." Lin Bai said with emotion, "Traders have always had a sensitive nose."

"The Tianchi Sect is also working harder to forge flying sword weapons." Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Do you really want to fight?"

"It's possible." Lin Bai nodded slightly.

"Zhu Yumao's revenge should be avenged, but not now." Pei Ning was very steady.

The two chatted for a while, then took Jiang Yu with them, and the three of them came to Fengming Mountain together.

The Zhu family has been in a lot of troubles these years. First, the ancestor of Jindan took away a group of elites from the sect, and then Zhu Yuyan, the foundation-building seedling, died outside. Zhu Jianshui, Zhu Jianshan, and Zhu Jiancong died of old age one after another.

In comparison, Zhu Yumao was the least important one due to his poor cultivation and lack of talent.

But Lin Bai and Zhu Yumao have known each other for the longest time and have the deepest friendship.

This time, Zhu Yumao's body was not found, only his tomb was left.

After burning incense, Lin Bai stayed here for three days, and then he and Pei Ning took Jiang Yu and Miaomiao back to Xinyi Square.

"You should practice well and don't think wildly." Lin Bai comforted Miaomiao and warned seriously: "As the saying goes, those who stay for a long time will fly high. You should remember it."

"Miaomiao remembers it." Miaomiao wore a black Taoist robe and knelt down to kowtow.

Lin Bai said no more, and Jiang Yu took Miaomiao's hand and left.

Two days later, Zhu Jianyang came to the door.

"Ancestor Gu is back from Yunxia Sect?" Lin Bai immediately guessed what he meant.

"Not bad." Zhu Jianyang sat down with a wry smile on his face.

"What do you say?" Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat when he saw Zhu Jianyang like this.

"Yunxia Sect seems unwilling to help." Zhu Jianyang shook his head and sighed, "They said that the old sect leader was in seclusion and could not make the decision on such a big matter. He only promised to send some elixirs and talismans... In fact, he declined Old Ancestor Gu politely."

Already expected it! Lin Bai knew that even though Yunxia Sect and Jiuyin Mountain had always fought in the past, they had not broken their bones after all. They were now looking forward to the fight between the Gu family and Jiuyin Mountain.

Gu Qingshui's trip was in vain, and she was embarrassed again for no reason.

"Then what does Patriarch Gu plan to do?" Lin Bai asked again.

"We have ordered the Tian family and Huaqing sect, as well as several of our small clan sects to prepare." Zhu Jianyang only shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What do the two ancestors Cheng and Yang say?" Lin Bai smiled.

"Ancestor Gu didn't ask," Zhu Jianyang said.

Lin Bai was speechless. Isn't Aunt Gu acting too stupid? The Cheng and Yang families are from the same family as you, so if you go to invite them as a descendant, they must give you some face, at least provide some logistics and so on.

"Ancestor Xiang is not here, what will Master Yue say?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"What kind of leader is Yue Fengshu? How can he have any say?" Zhu Jianyang also laughed. "He was sent to Jiuyin Mountain by Patriarch Gu to ask for Lu Shiping."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, this move was okay. After all, Yue Fengshu is the head of the clan, and he is a direct descendant of his ancestors, so his status is sufficient. Unless Jiuyin Mountain really wants to go shopping, it won't do anything to Yue Fengshu.

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhu Jianyang said goodbye and left.

Lin Bai was restless, so he went out to Zhutao Garden to inquire about Yang Shu.

"I don't know!" Yang Shu grabbed Lin Bai and asked with concern: "The Gu family really wants to fight? Then Feixue..."

"..." Lin Bai had a headache for a long time and then left.

My butt is not hot anymore, so Gai Yingqiu comes again.

"Is the Qiaoshan faction going to fight? Then Senior Brother Yang..." Gai Yingqiu thought in her heart.

Lin Bai tried so hard to fool her away, only to have a headache.

After ten days of meditation in the cave, Zhu Jianyang brought another news.

It turned out that Yue Fengshu learned after he went to Jiuyin Mountain that Lu Haike was so angry because of Lu Shiping's unprovoked murder that he expelled Lu Shiping from Jiuyin Mountain and no longer recognized this descendant.

Moreover, Lu Haike made it clear that the incident involving Lu Shiping in the future had nothing to do with him. Even if Gu Qingshui takes action, he will never pay attention. Whether you are dead or alive is determined by God.

These words are meant to fool people, whoever believes them will be stupid.

Yue Fengshu didn't believe it either, so he asked Lu Shiping again about her whereabouts. After asking, I found out that Lu Shiping left Jiuyin Mountain and went to Cangyun Gate to become a worshiper.

This Cangyun Sect is the Jindan Sect, separated from Jiuyin Mountain by the sea, and has always been a subordinate of Jiuyin Mountain.

Lu Shiping was certainly wrong to kill people, but in the end it was Jin Dan who acted.

If the Gu family goes to war with Jiuyin Mountain, that's fine. But if Gu Qingshui went directly to Cangyun Gate to capture the golden elixir, the Gu family's faces would not look good.

Poor Gu Qingshui mobilized the entire clan, enlisted helpers, and asked the Tian family and the Huaqing faction to prepare, but Jiuyinshan didn't want to end it himself, so he really punched the cotton.

Jiuyin Mountain made Ancestor Gu look like a dog. In other words, Gu Qingshui was still too young and unwilling to communicate with the old Yuanyings.

"Given Ancestor Gu's temperament, he definitely didn't take any more tests... he was sure that foreign objects wouldn't invade him, so he just took action?" Lin Bai didn't care about the Gu family's face. A war between the Nascent Soul Sect would be of no benefit to anyone, so he hoped that Gu Qingshui would take action soon. Ended early.

"Originally they were going to take action, but Gu Jinzhen and his group couldn't stop him." Zhu Jianyang lowered his voice, "In the end, the Yang family ancestor came forward and persuaded Gu Gu to go back."

"What should you say in the end?" Lin Bai didn't know what to say.

"What else can I say?" Zhu Jianyang also smiled, "Old Ancestor Yang said that since it is only related to Lu Shiping, then go get Lu Shiping. If Cangyun Sect doesn't make friends, then fight Cangyun Sect. If Jiuyin Mountain intervenes, the Qiaoshan Sect will not be deterred just because Ancestor Xiang is not at home."

"Ancestor Yang is an experienced person." Lin Bai sighed in admiration and thought that Sister Huanhuan's ancestor was indeed reliable, so he asked again: "Then the Gu family won't be able to end immediately. I'm afraid the Tian family will take the lead, right?"

"The Tian family only has two golden elixirs, and Tian Guiqin is going to have a headache." Zhu Jianyang laughed first, then smiled bitterly, "But my family is not even qualified to have a headache."

It's not like the two Nascent Soul sects have an inextricable feud, so how could they go into battle naked? As expected, I'd better send my younger brother to grind them out first.

It's a pity that the Tian family suffered an unreasonable disaster first and then was pushed to the forefront. They really have no temper.

However, with the support of the Qiaoshan Sect behind them, they will definitely not be defeated and there will be no shortage of things. There may even be other Jindan sects that end up there. It's just that some people in the Tian family will inevitably die, which may damage their vitality.

As for after the war, there must be rewards.

"Then your house...or you going?" Lin Bai asked.

"Who else is there besides me?" Zhu Jianyang took a sip of tea, making a sizzling sound in his mouth, as if it was very bitter.

The two chatted for a long time and then went out together to go to Qiaoshan Sect.

When I arrived at Qingyun Mountain, I saw several people waiting outside the palace, all building foundations. There are the Tian family, the Huaqing sect, and the Tianchi sect.

"Sister Fang, ancestors are here to discuss matters?" Lin Bai stepped forward and asked.

"Yes." Gu Fang sighed, pulled Lin Bai's sleeve and said, "This is Feixue's letter to you."

Is this a secret promise from the heart, a letter from Feiyan? Lin Bai took it and opened it to take a closer look.

It was not a secret promise at all, but Gu Feixue felt that Lin Bai acted with justice first and was worried that Lin Bai would recommend himself to the front line, so he wrote to persuade her.

"Sister Fang, what are you still discussing in the palace now?" After receiving the letter, Lin Bai decided to go and thank him in person another day.

"What else could it be?" Gu Fang gritted her teeth angrily, "Ancestor has already set the rules, but Yue Fengshu still insists that we wait until Ancestor Xiang comes back!"

Zhu Jianyang heard this and asked, "When will Patriarch Xiang come back?"

"I won't be back for a while." Gu Fang sneered, "If Ancestor Xiang can come back early, Jiuyin Mountain won't even dare to let out a fart!"

After talking for a while, nothing came out, just waiting for the superior to make a decision.

Half an hour later, the pressure of Nascent Soul suddenly spread out from the hall, and there were waves of water and vapor in the air.

Hearing another "pop" sound, Gu Qingshui's voice came from the hall, "Yue Fengshu! Don't you come and talk to me about the crown! Senior Brother Xiang is such a hero, how come you are so timid as a direct descendant? Leader!"

Hehe, is this a slap in the face? Although Lin Bai couldn't help laughing, he still felt that Aunt Gu was too rough.

After all, Yue Fengshu is the head of the general affairs. Although he cannot compare with Yuanying, beating a dog depends on the owner. Not only does Yue Fengshu lose his prestige, it also makes Ancestor Xiang look bad.

Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang looked at each other again, both with headaches. Lin Bai could still go out and live alone, but the Zhu family had long been tied to the Gu family's broken boat.

Everyone outside the hall was also stunned, no one dared to say a word.

"I have made up my mind! Don't say any more!" Gu Qingshui's voice came out, and she saw the clear water and walked away to the top of the mountain.

Soon, a group of people walked out of the temple. Tian Guiqin, Li Shouyan, Gu Jinzhen and Gu Jiuzhong.

After a while, Yue Fengshu came out. He had returned to normal, but his expression was ugly and tense.

Everyone bowed to the golden elixirs.

"What was going on in the palace just now is not allowed to be spread among the public!" Gu Jinzhen said in a deep voice.

Everyone bowed again and responded in unison.

"Master Yue, actually my ancestor..." Gu Jinzhen lowered his posture.

"No need to say more." Yue Fengshu raised his hand, expressionless, "We should obey the orders of Patriarch Gu."

After speaking, he looked around and said: "The Tian family is weak and cannot compete with the Cangyun Sect. We will need to allocate more people to the Huaqing Sect. We will also recruit some capable casual cultivators. Promise them huge profits to make them work harder.”

"It should be so. Master Yue's clever plan!" Gu Jinzhen quickly agreed and even flattered him. In fact, at this point, even if Yue Fengshu made some outrageous requests, Gu Jinzhen would never refuse.

"Isn't he just a casual cultivator?" Yue Fengshu pointed at Lin Bai with his chin and said, "I remember that he is on good terms with the Zhu family and should go to the front line to serve."

I have no grudges or grudges, so I provoked you? You blame the fox and Gu Jinzhen for what happened in Longmenfang. Why do you blame me? Lin Bai had no temper and did not dare to say anything. He only looked at Gu Jinzhen.

Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly, indicating that he would accept the errand.

Sure enough, your ancestor hit someone, now you want me to comfort him?

Gu Qingshui is rough in doing things, so you want me to wipe your butt?

This time is different from Mianlong Mountain. At that time, everyone in the mountain was building their foundation, so they killed happily. But this time, there are golden elixirs entering the formation!

Lin Bai gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Jiuyin Mountain humiliated my Gu family. People say that the master humiliates the minister and the minister dies! Even if Master Yue doesn't mention it, I will recommend myself!"

Having said this, he bowed to the place where Gu Qingshui left and said: "I was ordered to do this in times of crisis. Yun Zhonghe is willing to repay it with my life!"

After saying this, Lin Bai cursed Gu Qingshui and Yue Fengshu a hundred times in his heart, but his face was still firm and resolute.
