The Wheel-Turning Master

"Go sit on my tower, I have something else to tell you."

Jiang Xiaobai invited.

"Just say it here!" Lin Bai refused.

Jiang Xiaobai glared at me fiercely and said, "Then don't even think about going to my tower in the future."

"If you don't go, I won't go." Lin Bai was very stubborn.

"..." Jiang Xiaobai stared at Lin Bai's eyes carefully, and after a while he said, "What are you going to do later?"

"I want to meet the ancestor of the Qin family." Lin Bai wanted to ask Jiang Xingchi about it.

"Haha," Jiang Xiaobai understood why Lin Bai didn't dare to go up to the black tower. He sneered and said disdainfully: "Ancestor has known about our affairs for a long time! Do you think you and I can hide it?"

I should have known he knew about us! Wouldn't it be impolite to sleep with his junior on the front foot and ask him questions on the back foot? Lin Bai smiled and said, "Then what did your ancestor say?"

"Let me keep an eye on Xiao Yu'er." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"..." Lin Bai lost his temper.

The two chatted for a few more words and then headed south to visit Jiang Xingchi.

I met many children of the Jiang family along the way, climbed up the Jiang Family Qipan Mountain, and arrived in front of a courtyard on the mountainside.

"Sister," a Taoist boy about ten years old stood guard at the door of the courtyard, saluted politely, and said, "Senior Yun is well."

Now Lin Bai is doing better and better. He often holds Taoist meetings in Yuhu. Most of the Jiang family's children know him and he has a good reputation.

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

"I'm here to ask to see my ancestor." Jiang Xiaobai said without hesitation.

The Taoist boy immediately replied: "Ancestor, let Senior Yun enter, while my sister returns to the black tower to practice."

Jiang Xiaobai's brain was the best and she immediately sensed that something was wrong. She looked Lin Bai up and down, then stretched out her little hand and nodded at Lin Bai, saying, "Come to me later."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was said that a fox had been involved, it was indeed the golden elixir seedling that slept in someone else's house. Although people didn't care at the time, it was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable.

After entering the yard and stepping into the house, they saw Jiang Xingchi again with black hair and black beard.

"Come and play a game of chess with me." Jiang Xingchi sat in front of the low table, holding a black piece in his hand, staring at the end game.

Lin Bai saluted and went forward to sit down without any pretense.

Glancing at the end game, it turned out to be the same game as the last time I played against the fox.

"It's your turn." Jiang Xingchi said.

After briefly recalling the fox's chess moves at that time, he made a white move.

After most of the day, it was already night. Jiang Xingchi lit a candle and Lin Bai surrendered.

"Are you here for the secret realm?" Jiang Xingchi picked up the sunspots one by one.

"Exactly, please teach me, senior." Lin Bai didn't hesitate to pretend.

Jiang Xingchi was silent for a while, then took out the stone tablet, put it under the candle, and rubbed the word "无".

"Fairy Shen Yu said that this object is related to the Wuxiang Tomb. Do you know about the Wuxiang Tomb?" Jiang Xingzhi asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Lin Bai also inquired secretly and looked through the Gu family's collection, but there was no record of Xiangzhong.

Or maybe the Wuxiang Tomb is a secret matter and the Gu family has not recorded it.

"There were rumors in the past that the Qianhe Sand Land was the place where two great masters fought."

Jiang Xingchi stroked the stone tablet, his face became more serious, and said: "There are rumors that a great power fell there, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or not. However, over the years, many high-level practitioners have penetrated deep into it, and few have returned. As for the name of Wuxiang Tomb Where it comes from, I don’t know.”

"Have you ever been to Ancestor Xiang?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Ancestor Xiang has been a favor to me in preaching, but he has never mentioned this." Jiang Xingchi sighed, "Ancestor Xiang is too high and too far away. I am as humble as an ant, how can I know the secret?"

Having said this, Jiang Xingchi put away the stone tablet, took out a pair of scissors, and put away the lanterns.

"It's so difficult to realize the Nascent Soul. My ancestors knew me very well. They once said to me that my path to enlightenment lies in the sandy land of thousands of valleys." Jiang Xingchi smiled bitterly, "The road to enlightenment is also a dead end. It's like this for me. , the same is true for Yao Wanshan.”

"Is the Wuxiang Tomb in the Thousand Valleys Sand Field related to this secret realm?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I don't know." Jiang Xingchi asked one question and didn't know.

"Senior, do you have any words to give me?" Lin Bai asked.

Jiang Xingchi was silent for a moment and said: "Ancestor Xiang talked to me about it in the past. In fact, four people came out of the secret realm with the word "wu", and another one was named Li Wuya."

"It's also the 'Wu' generation. I wonder whose family this Li Wuya comes from, and what is his current state?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"I don't know his sect or his realm." Jiang Xingchi said with a smile.

"What's the original name?" Lin Bai asked.

"My real name is Li Wuya." Jiang Xing smiled foolishly.

Lin Bai stared at the lanterns, always feeling that this secret realm was a trap.

Seeing that Jiang Xingchi didn't know the details, Lin Bai stopped asking.

Leave this place and return to Yuhu Lake.

At this time, the moon was at its zenith, and by the Jade Lake there were still children of the Jiang family chatting or dancing swords under the moonlight.

Lin Bai climbed up to the black tower and served Jiang Yatou, and the two chatted again.

After the quarrel for a long time, Jiang Xiaobai was very determined and did not intend to wade into the muddy water.

She has had no bottlenecks since building the foundation, her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and there is really no need to venture out.

"You first learn the method of alchemy, then the method of tempering the body, then the method of talismans, and then diligently study the method of formation, and also the method of sword cultivation and killing. You have achieved success."

Jiang Xiaobai's clothes were half-covered, and his face was still full of love, "With your temperament, you shouldn't pay too much attention to this matter, you should concentrate on your practice. Why are you running around and asking around now? Could it be that Pei Ning has to go? Haha, she saw I have my own opinion, and I actually listen to your words, just give me advice." She actually knew Pei Ning very well.

"No, she listened to me this time." Lin Bai pinched the fruit and said, "I have a feeling in my heart, I should go and have a look."

Cultivators often have feelings, Jiang Xiaobai heard this and stopped persuading.

Lin Bai left the black tower and went back to practice.

When it was dawn, Miaomiao came to knock on the door.

"Master," Miaomiao knelt forward and said respectfully: "Miaomiao came to learn the formation."

No matter whether the good apprentice was pretending or not, at least he was willing to fool around, Lin Bai was very happy.

"The way of formation is to take the changes of the five elements and turn them into your own use. You can use the power of the mountains and forests, and you can use the principles of heaven and earth."

"The magic of the formation lies in one's heart. It should be adapted to the local conditions, the people, and the enemies."

Lin Bai showed the demeanor of a high cultivator.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Miao Miao immediately joined in, "Change the nature of the five elements, change the order of the four seasons. Make it impossible to stop when advancing, and impossible to chase when retreating. It cannot be attacked during the day, and it cannot be attacked at night. It cannot be defeated by the large number, and it cannot be bullied by the small number. It should be coordinated in front and behind, and commanded left and right."

She clapped her hands and continued, "As dense as gods and ghosts, as fast as wind and thunder." Miao Miao knelt on the ground, her waist was particularly straight, "Master, you have said this many times when you tested me with the formation."

"..." Lin Bai glared at her, took out a book, and said, "This is written by the master, and it took a lot of effort. You go back and study it carefully." He took out seven small formation flags and said, "Learn the spirit gathering formation first."

"Can I let others read it?" Miao Miao took the new book and saw the words "Zhu Xia Zhen Jie" on it, which was obviously written under the candle.

Open it again and see dense small characters, and there are many formations, which are also carefully marked.

Miao Miao muttered in her heart, thinking when did the master become so diligent? Did he copy someone else's ready-made?

Turning the page, he saw that after each formation was explained, there were extracurricular lessons, and many questions were raised for the readers to answer.

Miaomiao finally confirmed that this was written by the master, otherwise no one would do these tricks.

"Master, can I study with others?" Miaomiao put the book away.

"Read it with Xiaoyuer." Lin Bai remembered the heart-piercing words of Jiang Yatou yesterday, and hurriedly said: "Miaomiao, don't talk nonsense to Xiaoyuer in the future."

"Master plans to take it personally?" Miaomiao asked doubtfully.

"..." Lin Bai rubbed his eyebrows and felt that he understood Jiang Yatou's worries.

Miaomiao was very filial, and immediately got up, came behind Lin Bai, and rubbed Lin Bai's head intimately.

"Within a month, I want to see you set up a small spirit gathering formation!" Lin Bai felt a little better after being served by his beloved disciple. He scolded her a few more times, assigned homework, and asked her to return to Yuhu to study.

After driving the people away, Lin Bai also took out the Gu family array solution and studied it secretly, fearing that he would not be able to teach Miaomiao in the future and lose the face of his master.

After that, Lin Bai no longer ran around, but devoted himself to studying arrays.

Although there are many arrays in the Gu family array solution, this thing requires one to master a hundred. As long as you open your mind and put more effort into it, you will learn faster and faster.

Of course, if it is a difficult and complicated array, it will take a lot of time, and you need to set up the array yourself for experiment.

It took a month for Lin Bai to study the Gu family array solution several times, and most of the arrays can be set up.

The only thing missing is actual combat.

When I went to Yuhu to see Miaomiao, I asked her to set up the spirit gathering array, but she pulled Jiang Yu with her, and the two women set up a small spirit gathering array around their residence.

The spirit gathering array can be large or small, simple or complicated. It mainly depends on the flow of spiritual energy and the changes in the terrain.

Lin Bai and Jiang Yatou checked the homework. The former praised Jiang Yu for being a good child, and the latter praised Miaomiao for her extraordinary talent.

After a while of making a fuss, they were about to go to the black tower to have fun when Gu Yao came.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Bai and Gu Yao returned to the cave.

"A month later, the secret realm should be opened." Gu Yao gave a definite message, "The three sects, together with their many vassal sects, will send people in."

"How many people?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"I don't know yet." Gu Yao shook her head, "Anyway, we should have about 200 people in Qiaoshan."

She counted on her fingers: "Cheng family, Yang family, and my family. In addition, Yue Fengshu's only disciple will also go. There are four golden elixir sects and families, and there are many foundation-building families and sects."

"Are you going?" Lin Bai asked.

"The ancestor won't let me go." Gu Yao sighed and glanced at Lin Bai again.

Lin Bai practiced formations with Gu Yao and knew her very well. When he saw her strange look, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

"Ahem," Lin Bai took the initiative and said, "I asked the ancestor to give me the secret method before, but there is no news now."

"Didn't I pass on the formation book to you? Many people can't even read it even if they break their heads." Gu Yao was surprised. She didn't expect Lin Bai to still be thinking about these trivial things.

"Actually, I don't like to learn formations." Lin Bai said shamelessly, "Look, my progress in cultivation has slowed down."

"You are at the fourth level of foundation building, which is not slow!" Gu Yao sat down cross-legged and said unhappily, "Forget it, just wait for my news."

As she spoke, she took out a small bronze mirror, about the size of Miaomiao's palm.

"Hang it on your waist. It has the effect of calming the mind and can also break the water method." Gu Yao threw it over.

Lin Bai took it and gently stroked the mirror surface, and then he felt the water mist and his hands were wet.

If you want to learn secret methods, you must bear its weight. This is probably not an ordinary mirror, it should be used for peeping.

"This..." Lin Bai was reluctant.

Gu Yao didn't say much, snatched it and hung it directly on Lin Bai's waist, not allowing any resistance. "I know that the ancestor is so good to you, and you feel guilty. In fact, you don't have to care. The ancestor has always loved the younger generation, so don't feel bad."

"..." Lin Bai sighed and said, "How can I be so virtuous and capable?"

"Don't think too much. It's true that my ancestor cares about you, but he doesn't want you to repay him." Gu Yao said seriously.

"Yes." Lin Bai could only reply like this, his heart almost squeezed me dry.

"You need to be careful when entering the secret realm this time." Gu Yao also showed concern.

"Actually, I haven't decided whether to go or not." Lin Bai suddenly said.

"Eh?" Gu Yao scratched her head, "Then what I just said for a long time was all in vain? You were so enthusiastic before, why don't you go?"

"I'll wait." Lin Bai didn't have any confidence from the fox and didn't want to take unreasonable risks. Even if you have a vague feeling in your heart, you should not venture into dangerous places lightly.

"Then just wait." Gu Yao didn't force it.

"This bronze mirror..." Lin Bai reached out to untie it, and Gu Yao immediately held it down.

"There is absolutely no reason to take back what our ancestors sent out." Gu Yao smiled.

"..." Lin Bai was bullied by Aunt Gu and had no choice but to admit it.

The two talked about formations for a while, and then Gu Yao left.

Lin Bai closed his eyes and came to the stone plate, thought for a long time, and then began to practice the formation again.

Not even half a day later, Yang Shu came to the door.

"My dear brother," Yang Shu entered the cave and saw Lin Bai refining elixirs by himself. He hurried up and said, "My dear brother, please do me a favor."

"Let me tell you, we are not outsiders." Lin Bai always thought of Sister Huanhuan's kindness.

"I am going into a secret realm this time. I wonder if Feixue can go?" Yang Shu asked eagerly.

"You and Feixue belong to the same sect, just ask yourself." Lin Bai was helpless.

"Feixue can't see me!" Yang Shu was also very helpless, "Gu Fang didn't say anything, and Gu Yao was showing off her retreat, and the two managers ignored me. Isn't there really nothing I can do, so I came here to ask for help, my dear brother?" What?”

Lin Bai had a severe headache, and Yang Shu sighed repeatedly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Wait until I refine this batch of pills." Lin Bai didn't bother to persuade him, so he just made a batch of tiger and wolf pills and stuffed them into Yang Shu's hands.

The two of them entered Qingyun Mountain together. Lin Bai asked Gu Feixue and found out that he was not going, so he went to Yang Huan's residence.

Yang Shu had been waiting for a long time. When he got the news, he didn't say much. Yang Huan drove him away and took Lin Bai into the house to chat.

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind." Lin Bai did not put away Aunt Gu's bronze mirror, and only focused on talking to Yang Huan.

After spending two days here, Lin Bai returned to Xinyi Square.

After returning to the cave, Gai Yingqiu came looking for her again before her butt was still hot.

"Go. Yang Shu goes." Before Gai Yingqiu could speak, Lin Bai had already given the answer.

Gai Yingqiu was overjoyed and overjoyed. He could not sit still and looked longing for it.

Lin Bai cared about his friends the most, so he made another batch of tiger and wolf pills.

"This...I don't need it." Gai Yingqiu said this, but still took it.

"Don't tell me if you need it." Lin Bai said generously, "If you don't need it, just give it to the younger generation later."

As expected, Gai Yingqiu put it away and started talking about Pei Ning again.

"Junior Sister Pei asked me to tell you something. She said whether to go or not, and asked you to reply as soon as possible." Gai Yingqiu said.

Lin Bai didn't really want to go. The fox had no words, so why go deep into the secret realm? Now we just need to move forward step by step, forming the elixir first, and then talk about it, without any further setbacks.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister. I'll reply in the next few days." Lin Bai thought that since the fox didn't move, he might as well ask Aunt Gu.

Climbing Qingyun Mountain again, I found Gu Yao and came to the small pool.

"Ancestor said that if you want to ask for advice, let me pass on the message to you." Gu Yao smiled happily and said: "Ancestor Shen Yu's beloved disciple is going. The person with whom the destiny is bound is Yunxia Zong’s junior sister is also going.”

Lin Bai thought that it was okay to go there just to relax.

Happy New Year!
