The Wheel-Turning Master

The wind was getting stronger and stronger.

Ye Ruoqing withdrew his magical power, and a puzzled look appeared on his pale face.

The fire had disappeared into the smoke, and the people from Jiuyin Mountain who were shouting had also disappeared.

Sand hit his face, blocking his vision.

There was a slight burning smell that was blown away by the wind. He sniffed hard and inhaled a nose of sand and hot air.

Ye Ruoqing looked at the wheel turner again and saw that his face was solemnly looking far to the south. He didn't know whether he was worried about the road ahead or thinking about someone.

"He is an alchemist, and his temperament is not bad. I'm afraid he has many lovers. I just don't know why the people from Jiuyin Mountain disappeared." Ye Ruoqing was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but think of Li Xinghe.

"Do you want to rest for a while?" Seeing Ye Ruoqing in a daze, Lin Bai knew that she was thinking about her lover again, so he ruthlessly interrupted her reverie.

"No need..." Ye Ruoqing gritted her teeth, "I can still walk!"

"Let's go." Lin Bai took the lead and stepped forward without any hesitation.

"This..."

Seeing Lin Bai moving forward, Ye Ruoqing hurriedly caught up, grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve, and asked: "Where is that Lu Huairen just now? I also heard the laughter of a female cultivator. It doesn't seem like she is easy to deal with!"

"It's not that she is not easy to deal with." Lin Bai made up a lie, "How can there be a fool who can enter the secret realm? As long as you talk about reason, people are willing to listen."

"Jiuyin Mountain has a grudge against our Qiaoshan." Ye Ruoqing muttered in a low voice.

"Even if there is a grudge, you must talk about reason!" Lin Bai quickened his pace.

"Then how did you talk to them?" Ye Ruoqing became more curious.

"Conquer people with virtue!" Lin Bai said.

Just now, Lin Bai did conquer people with virtue. There were three people on the other side, and they attacked first, and Lin Bai was the last one to attack.

Among the three foundation-building cultivators, the male cultivator was the one who called himself Lu Huairen, and there was another female cultivator who was traveling with him, and another female cultivator was hiding.

Lin Bai casually set up the Feiyun flag formation, and the flying knife and magical power were launched at the same time, killing two people instantly.

Only the lurking female cultivator seemed to be in harmony with the dust and sand. After being severely hit by the flying knife, she actually escaped into the sand and disappeared.

Because of the special terrain of the desert and the strong wind and sand, Lin Bai did not chase him. Anyway, the name of "Wheel" could not be concealed, so let him go.

The two walked for half a day and did not encounter any more enemies, but Ye Ruoqing was exhausted again, and her face was very pale.

Lin Bai looked at her and couldn't help but feel distressed. It was not that he felt sorry for Ye Ruoqing, but that he felt sorry for the pills he brought.

If she didn't want them, Lin Bai wouldn't mention it.

"Wang... Brother Lin, I don't have any pills." Ye Ruoqing was pitiful and finally asked for pills.

"Here." Lin Bai took out the Yunyuan Pill and gave her back her energy.

"And the wind-proof talisman..." Ye Ruoqing's pale face was covered with a layer of sand, and her shame was even more obvious.

"..." Lin Bai had no temper, so he could only give it to her honestly.

Since he chose to save people, he would do his best to save them to the end.

And although Ye Ruoqing was not very reliable, she did not run away alone when she met the enemy, but stepped forward to help.

With this move, Lin Bai felt that the rescue was not in vain.

Ye Ruoqing swallowed the pill, threw out the wind-proof talisman, closed her eyes and rested.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the two set off again.

The further they went, the stronger the wind and sand, and the hotter the sun. Even Lin Bai, who practiced the Hunyuan body-tempering method diligently, felt that the scorching sun was burning his heart and the dust was deceiving him.

Ye Ruoqing couldn't bear it anymore. She only rested for three or four hours before. Later, she had to rest for two or three hours.

Lin Bai had made a lot of pills in his hand. If it weren't for the spoils of the battle in Jiuyin Mountain, Lin Bai would have been heartbroken.

After five days of walking for more than 300 miles, the wind and sand gradually stopped. After walking for a while, we saw an oasis about ten miles ahead.

The oasis was very wide, with no visible edge. However, its vigorous vitality and the state of all things competing were right in front of us.

After a while, the sky above the oasis slowly darkened, as if entering the night.

At this time, the scorching sun on the sand had not disappeared, separating the oasis from the dusk and dawn, and the yin and yang.

Lin Bai and Ye Ruoqing stared blankly, neither of them saying a word.

After a quarter of an hour, stars appeared above the oasis. Then, colorful streams appeared at a very high altitude, like a miracle.

The streams slowly slanted downwards, and the stars were included in it, like a river flowing, slowly falling into the oasis.

"Isn't this a mirage?" Ye Ruoqing's hair was disheveled, and he had no demeanor of a cultivator. There were layers of dust and dirt on his face, as if he was fleeing from famine.

Lin Bai ignored it and closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.

There are green silk threads on the clouds and mist, and Auntie Gu's chain has not failed. There are also moon-white water patterns, which are left by Xiuxiu.

Seeing Xiuxiu has this leisure time, Lin Bai knows that she is safe and sound, so he is relieved.

Feeling it carefully, he feels that he can avoid danger and seek good fortune. It seems that there is something extremely beneficial to him, or a beneficial thing, or a beneficial person, waiting in the oasis.

However, there is also a great crisis lurking in the dark.

Summon a group of fog, turn it into a water mirror, and chase Xiuxiu.

The water mirror is broken. Then look for Sister Pei who is lingering day and night, and the water mirror is also broken.

Then deduce Huang Ruhua, the water mirror explodes directly, even better than when deducing Xiuxiu and Pei Ning.

"What did the stinky fox give Xiao Huang? Why didn't you give it to Xiuxiu? It's really biased!" Lin Bai was so angry that his teeth itched.

Open your eyes and look at the oasis.

"The road ahead is long, and good and bad are interdependent." Lin Bai sighed.

"That's right!" Ye Ruoqing agreed.

Lin Bai was sighing for the road ahead, while Ye Ruoqing was sighing for her lover. The two of them had no connection, and it was really like talking at cross purposes.

"Do we really want to go in?" Ye Ruoqing was not stupid, and knew that if they went deep into the oasis, the danger there would be worse than in the sand.

"It's all here." Lin Bai said.

"..." Ye Ruoqing looked at Lin Bai for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Do you want to go?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

Ye Ruoqing bit her chapped lower lip and said nothing, as if she was weighing things.

After a long time, Ye Ruoqing said: "Everyone is here."

The two of them stopped talking or making any advances. Instead, they sat down and took turns to rest.

When the oasis turned from night to day, the two of them cleaned up their lives, changed into clean clothes, and then set off.

"I'm afraid there are unpredictable hardships in the oasis." Lin Bai said the ugly words at the beginning, "If you are in danger, you and I will fight if we can, and if we can't, we will run away. As for mutual rescue, it is best to take care of each other. If it is difficult to rescue, …”

"I understand." Ye Ruoqing was very aware. She clenched her fists and said, "I am extremely grateful to you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for bringing me here. If you encounter great danger, just leave and ignore me."

"Same for you." Lin Bai said seriously.

"I understand." Ye Ruoqing took out a small wooden sign and whispered: "If we get separated and you happen to meet Brother Xinghe, please pass this thing on. If you can get out of the secret realm, please pass it on too. . If he is...please go to Qinglian Gate, go to Wuya Mountain, and drop this wooden sign."

"Okay." Lin Bai took the wooden sign and saw leaf patterns engraved on it and stars beside it.

This wooden sign is extremely simple to make and uses common materials. It's just that it's very bright, and it must be held in someone's hand and rubbed from time to time.

No matter what happens to Ye Ruoqing and Li Xinghe, this wooden sign hides the woman's feelings.

Lin Bai took off the gourd from his waist, took a sip of wine, and touched the money bag on his waist.

The two of them stopped talking and walked towards the oasis.

One behind the other, they don't control the air, they just keep alert to their surroundings.

Heading south, when they came to the oasis, the two of them stepped in.

The scorching sun never sets in the sand, and suddenly stepping into the oasis is like a completely different world.

The trees are tall and dense, with clusters of shrubs and bushes. The sunlight is blocked by the branches and leaves, and only rays of sunlight pour down. The forest is cool and moist.

Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, full of vitality. Butterflies are flying one after another, with seven colors, some gray and white, and some pure black.

Lin Bai jumped up to the tall tree and took a closer look into the oasis. There was nothing strange.

Ye Ruoqing seemed to have washed away the fatigue in the sand. Watching the butterflies flying, there was a smile on her face.

After figuring out the direction, the two continued to move forward.

After a while, we saw hares and pheasants. They were all ordinary wild beasts, not monsters.

Going further, a fox came out to look for food.

"Get it!" Lin Bai threw out a piece of string and immediately tied up the fox tightly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin," Ye Ruoqing was startled, but immediately showed a solemn and defensive look, "This fox looks like an ordinary beast. Is there something else going on?"

"No." Lin Bai stepped forward, took away the rope, and said, kicking the fox away. "I get annoyed when I see a fox. If it weren't for the sake of my old friend, I would have slept with him!" After saying that, the fox had just It fell to the ground, chirped twice, indicating dissatisfaction, and then ran away in a hurry.

"..." Ye Ruoqing didn't know how the fox provoked this fellow Taoist Wheeler. Anyway, he seemed to be very resentful.

As the two continued to move forward, there were more and more butterflies, and they became more and more colorful. Ten miles into the oasis, monsters appear.

They were both little qi-training demon beasts, not worth mentioning. The two of them only made a few moves, and they were already at the limit of qi-training demon beasts.

Along the way, Lin Bai kept paying attention to whether there were any marks or secrets on the trees, but to no avail.

Continue walking towards the center of the oasis, and after a few miles, you hear a roaring sound ahead, accompanied by the sound of trees breaking.

Yukong landed on a tall tree and looked forward carefully. I saw several red-backed fire frogs chasing the two monks.

A group of red-backed fire frogs, the big one is like an ox, the small one is like a calf, all have red eyes, and they can jump several feet in one bound. They pursue the two people closely, knocking down tall trees along the way, and spraying from time to time. Out of blazing flames.

The two monks, a man and a woman, seemed to have injuries on their bodies, their robes were in tatters, their hair was disheveled, and they were in an extremely miserable state.

Lin Bai looked at it from a distance, and at a glance he could tell that there were seven red-backed fire frogs. Two of them are the foundation building realm and the five Qi training realm.

The two monks were both wearing the Qiaoshan Sect's standard robes. Although they were tattered, you could still make out the colorful patterns on them, so they must be members of the Cheng family. The styles of Taoist robes of the Qiaoshan School are mostly the same, with only slight differences in embroidery patterns.

He didn't know how he provoked the fire frog, so Lin Bai pretended not to see it.

"It's brother and sister Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang!" Ye Ruoqing's eyes widened and she whispered their names.

Ye Ruoqing is a disciple of the Qinglian Sect, and the Qinglian Sect is a vassal of the Cheng family, so there is some connection between them.

In fact, Lin Bai also recognized it, but he was not very familiar with it.

Among the descendants of Qiaoshan Sanyuanying this time, the Cheng family came the most. The reason is nothing more than the word survival.

Although the Gu family has a new bereavement and is being teased by Jiuyin Mountain, Gu Qingshui has just given birth and has more than 1,700 years of good life. As long as nothing happens to Gu Qingshui, the Gu family will remain stable.

The ancestors of the Yang family still have about five hundred years to live, so they can certainly look forward to the next generation.

The ancestor of the Cheng family only has a lifespan of one or two hundred years. If he does not give birth to a Nascent Soul, he is afraid that once he dies, the status of the Cheng family will be reduced, and the spiritual land and various incomes will also be greatly reduced.

Although Lin Bai is honest and kind-hearted, he is not a good person. Saving Ye Ruoqing was done casually, but if he ended up saving the Cheng brothers and sisters, he would have to put some thought into it.

If it is saved, I can inquire a little, get more help, and have more confidence in the future; if it is not saved, then it will not be saved.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, should we save her?" Ye Ruoqing knew her strength very well, and because she had been taken care of by Lin Bai in the past few days, she had long followed Lin Bai's lead.

"What are their personalities like?" Lin Bai remembered that when Fox was pimping, he had said that Cheng Shuang was naughty.

"I entered the Qinglian Sect as a casual cultivator, without any followers, with average qualifications, and my cultivation is not outstanding. I am not like Sister Pei of the Tianchi Sect, who can seduce alchemists and chat and laugh with Yuanying descendants. I don't have many friends in the sect, and those who know..." Ye Ruoqing saw Lin Bai rubbing his eyebrows, knowing that he thought she was too long-winded, so she hurriedly said: "I am not familiar with them, but I heard that they are not bad people, not playboys."

So you still don't know! You can explain it in one sentence, but you have to say so much, you and Xiuxiu will definitely be able to chat together!

Lin Bai was really convinced. He observed the surroundings first and said, "We all come from Qiaoshan and have received the favor of Qiaoshan Sect. If we don't take action now, when will we?"

"You..." Ye Ruoqing tilted her head, "Then why did you ask about his temperament just now?"

After saying this, the two stood on the tree and stared at each other.

Fortunately, Lin Bai was very thick-skinned and didn't bother to pay attention. He just shouted, "Brother Cheng, come over here!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai quickly flew down and laid out the formation flags around.

The Cheng brothers and sisters over there were hesitant when they heard this. It was clear that they had some tricks that they hadn't used yet, and they didn't know whether Lin Bai was an enemy or a friend.

"How do you know the formation?" Ye Ruoqing muttered, remembering that when he first met this wheel-turner, he had never heard him mention it.

Do alchemists also need to know the formation? Ye Ruoqing was at a loss for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she quickly shouted: "Brother Cheng, Sister Cheng, I am Ye Ruoqing from the Qinglian Sect, please come quickly!"

Sure enough, when they heard the name of the Qinglian Sect and saw Ye Ruoqing's Taoist robes, the Cheng brothers and sisters no longer hesitated and immediately came over here.

Boom, boom, the red-backed fire frog chased them non-stop.

Seeing Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang coming to the front, Lin Bai immediately said: "You two retreat behind us!" He looked at Ye Ruoqing again and said: "Come and help me quickly!"

"I..." Ye Ruoqing was confused, but he also hurried forward and stood beside Lin Bai.

The red-backed fire frog arrived as soon as he said it. Lin Bai held a small formation flag in his hand, injected spiritual power, connected the surrounding formation flags, and formed a complementary trend, saying: "There is no smoke without fire! Get up!"

"Boundless falling trees, come out!" Ye Ruoqing was not stupid, and immediately knew how to cooperate.

For a moment, the wind in the formation blew up, whistling continuously, and the tall trees in the area of ​​dozens of feet in radius rustled.

Leaves fell one by one and were swept into the wind, blocking the vision and making it impossible to see in all directions.

Monsters are often thick-skinned and hard-bodied, and they don't learn magic, and their brains are not very useful. Therefore, if you want to capture monsters, it is best to use wisdom, and the formation is the best.

Lin Bai could only arrange a simple maze in a hurry, which could barely stop the enemy.

The seven fire frogs entered the formation, and were attacked by the strong wind and the chaotic leaves. As expected, they were a little slow, just roaring and spewing flames.

Lin Bai did not seek to kill the enemy, but turned around and left.

"Lin Dao... eh?" Ye Ruoqing had not finished speaking when Lin Bai pulled her hair and ran back.

After joining the Cheng brothers and sisters, the four of them fled together. They ran for more than ten miles before stopping.

At this time, night fell again. The water flows smoothly into the oasis, as if someone has poured out all the water from the galaxy.

In the forest, butterflies are flying around, and everyone looks up blankly.
