The Wheel-Turning Master

The starry sky and dark forest, fireflies twinkle, butterflies flutter around.

Lin Bai endured the headache, held Meng Yuan tightly, and asked her about Qu Ruyi's whereabouts.

"I haven't seen her either." Meng Yuan shook her head like a rattle.

"What about Xiuxiu?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I haven't seen her either." Meng Yuan could only shake her head, "Speaking of which, I still miss that girl! But she has the jade order of the fairy Shen Yu, so she must be safe. At least-" Meng Yuan turned back and pointed to the mountain where the starry sky vision fell, and said: "At least before seeing the vision in person, nothing will happen to her."

"Sister Meng, how do you know Xiuxiu hasn't come here yet?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"I just know!" Meng Yuan crossed his arms, very confident.

"Good sister, please ask me." Lin Bai is the best at being humble.

"Hehe. You just say soft words all the time. I'm afraid that's how you coaxed Ruyi?" Meng Yuan was very happy and said proudly: "When I entered the secret realm, I landed here. The place where the strange phenomenon fell is right in front of me. I stay here every day, so I have seen all the people who come and go."

The difference between people is really big! Lin Bai didn't have a temper and asked Meng Yuan if he met any acquaintances.

Meng Yuan is a child of a noble family. He is the first disciple of Po Yunzi, and Po Yunzi is the first disciple of Yun Wujiu. Naturally, he has a wide range of friends.

When talking about the people who climbed the mountain, it was like announcing the names of dishes. There were not only people from Yunxia Sect, but also people from Qiaoshan and Jiuyin Mountain.

Among them, Lin Bai only knew Yao Qianchi and Yang Shu, and there were a few people from Qiaoshan, but he had only heard of their names and had never seen them in person.

"Those people climbed the mountain, and no one came down?" Lin Bai asked.

"There is another scenery on the top of the mountain. You will know when you go there." Meng Yuan smiled.

"Sister, why didn't you go there in person, but waited here for so long?" Lin Bai was curious.

"I'm timid." Meng Yuan said, waving his hand, and another man and woman came over, both young people.

"We are all timid." Meng Yuan pulled the man and woman and said, "This is my cousin Meng Bo, and this is Song Jingxian. Speaking of which, Jingxian also has a connection with you. When Ruyi was imprisoned, Uncle Qu didn't allow anyone to visit her. Uncle Qu loved Jingxian, so Jingxian could often visit Ruyi, and most of your letters were conveyed by her."

Lin Bai looked at Song Jingxian, and saw that this woman was in her early twenties, with a sweet face and a pair of dark eyes, looking at him curiously.

Just hearing this surname, in a trance, it seemed as if he had returned to the Golden Turtle Island in a dream, and saw the white-haired one-armed man's enlightenment and madness before his death.

"Don't look at it!" Seeing that Lin Bai had been staring at Song Jingxian, Meng Yuan immediately stood between the two of them, frowning.

She was doubting Lin Bai's character.

"Ahem..." Lin Bai was very thick-skinned, and gave himself a way out, saying: "I just heard Ruyi mention a senior brother Song before, and I was a little absent-minded for a while. I wonder if Junior Sister Song is related to this person?"

"My brother Song Qing was the first disciple of Uncle Qu, and he died outside a few years ago." Song Jingxian said.

As expected! Lin Bai smiled and said: "Looking back on the road we have come, it is all dust. Junior Sister is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and she will surely have a smooth future."

"Senior brother, you are too kind." Song Jingxian bowed again, thinking that this person is really sweet, no wonder she can make Ruyi cry.

Seeing this moment, Lin Bai hurriedly invited Li Xinghe and others from a distance.

Everyone reported their names and exchanged a few polite words, and Ye Ruoqing chatted with Meng Yuan.

Previously, Qu Ruyi got to know Baimei because Baimei knew Meng Yuan. Now that Ye Ruoqing knew Meng Yuan's name, she naturally became much closer.

The two groups of people inquired about each other's information, and Lin Bai and the Cheng brothers and sisters told each other everything they knew.

After talking for a long time, they separated to negotiate again.

"Just wait until dawn, and we will go to the top of the mountain to take a look!" Cheng Shuang was the most heroic.

"Of course!" Cheng Daojin responded immediately.

The brother and sister looked at Li Xinghe.

"Since we are here, we should definitely take a walk." Li Xinghe smiled.

"I will listen to Senior Brother Xinghe!" Ye Ruoqing pulled Li Xinghe's sleeves tightly.

"With Senior Brother Li's help, we will be even more powerful!" Cheng Shuang no longer called him Junior Brother, and she was even happier. Then she looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Junior Brother Yun, Brother Zhuanlun, are you going?"

She called him a lot.

Lin Bai didn't answer, and looked at the mountain from afar.

In the middle of the night, the stars were particularly bright, fireflies were flying, and butterflies were dancing. I could only see that the mountain was more than a hundred feet high, with trees on it, and it was hard to see what it was.

"I still need to wait for someone, you guys go first." Lin Bai refused with a smile.

In fact, even if he wanted to go, Lin Bai was not very willing to team up with Cheng Shuang. This woman is too unreliable and loves to cause trouble.

Of course, if he went with her, he could also take advantage of Li Xinghe. Although Lin Bai respected his magical skills, he was not to the point where he could not live without him.

His own skills can also gain a foothold here.

"With the opportunity in front of you, you are still sentimental, which is unwise!" Cheng Shuang sneered. She already knew about Qu Ruyi's affairs.

She actually had the nerve to say that others were unwise.

Before Lin Bai got angry, Ye Ruoqing muttered in a low voice.

"Please let the wise go first." Lin Bai smiled.

"..." Cheng Shuang was choked. She didn't have the face to call herself a wise man.

Soon the moon disappeared and the morning sun rose.

Everyone knew that they would enter a dangerous situation today, so they hurriedly sat in meditation to recover.

By the evening, everyone had reached a harmonious state.

Meng Yuan came to the place where Lin Bai and others were resting, asked for courtesy, and said: "I am here to lead the way for you fellow travelers."

After some politeness, Meng Yuan led Lin Bai and others up the mountain, but Meng Bo and Song Jingxian were not there.

"They have other important matters." Meng Yuan smiled and did not explain.

Lin Bai didn't feel anything, so he didn't ask much. Li Xinghe was also calm. On the contrary, the Cheng brothers and sisters separated slightly, forming a corner.

There's nothing wrong with being cautious. Meng Yuan was experienced in socializing, so he pretended not to see it.

He climbed up the mountain step by step through the forest and over the rocks.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw a blue stone among the trees.

The blue stone was more than ten feet high, in the shape of an oval, and smooth on all sides. There were lines on it, and many white spots on the moon, like stars.

"Whenever the starry sky falls from the sky, it falls on this blue stone. Then it slowly flows down and scatters throughout the mountain."

"Although this mountain is small, it is infused with this auspicious image, and the trees are thick and indestructible. The monsters benefit from this, and their abilities are not inferior to those in the Jindan realm, and they have magical powers like stars."

"I landed at the foot of the mountain when I first entered the secret realm. I climbed the mountain to see it, and was driven away by a green snake. The green snake's figure was erratic, and there was endless suction in its bloody mouth, as if it could accommodate everything. Later, a few fellow Taoists came and drove away the green snake."

"There is also a wild pheasant in the late stage of foundation building, which is best at hiding its tracks."

"We tried our best, but we could only drive it away, but it was difficult to hunt it. You all came late and didn't see the green snake's magical powers. I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate."

Meng Yuan looked at the blue stone, sighing, as if he was still in fear.

"Sister Meng, do we have to wait until night for the opportunity?" Cheng Shuang looked up at the sky.

"That's right." Meng Yuan replied with a smile.

"What is the opportunity?" Cheng Daojin asked.

"How do I know?" Meng Yuan smiled, looked at the bluestone, and said, "Wait until night falls, step onto the Milky Way, and you will know everything."

After saying this, the Cheng brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were full of fighting spirit again.

Ye Ruoqing seemed worried and looked at Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes dark and quiet, like an abyss.

Lin Bai stepped forward to observe the bluestone carefully, and then reached out to touch it.

"This bluestone not only looks like a goose egg in the river, but also its body and spirit are like this. And its roundness and smoothness are ten times and a hundred times better than ordinary pebbles." Lin Bai sighed.

"The Milky Way washes every night, don't you know that the Milky Way is also a river?" Meng Yuan said with a smile.

"Indeed." Lin Bai glanced at Li Xinghe, and then smiled and continued to look at the bluestone.

There are lines on the goose egg bluestone, and I don't know what they mean. The spots of moonlight are white, like stars.

"Brother Li, you are good at stargazing. Can the spots on this bluestone correspond to the stars in the sky?" Lin Bai asked.

"It does correspond to the position of the stars." Li Xinghe was quite sure.

"Why can't I get it right?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"It's not night yet, there are gaps, it's not fully visible." Meng Yuan explained, "You don't often watch the stars, you don't remember the position, and the stars change from time to time. If you are not a master of this, it is really difficult to distinguish them clearly."

"Senior Sister Meng knows a lot." Li Xinghe smiled.

"Then I'll go back and find a book to read." Lin Bai looked at Li Xinghe and said, "Brother Li, teach me which classics to start with?"

"This is what I wrote in my spare time, recording the birth and death of the stars, the wonders of their movement, and the trend of their coming and going. If you want to learn something from stargazing, you can take a look." Li Xinghe took out a thick book.

Lin Bai stepped forward to take it, only to see that the book cover was made of some kind of animal skin, with two words on it: Cross the River.

"Stars are water, and they form a river. Thank you, Brother Li." Lin Bai opened the book of crossing the river and saw a feeling of stargazing, followed by the position and movement of stars, so he asked curiously: "Brother Li, after studying this book, can you understand the secret technique of star escape?"

"It's hard to be one in ten thousand." Li Xinghe smiled.

"Brother Li, teach me." Lin Bai asked again.

"Brother Zhuanlun," Li Xinghe looked at Lin Bai and said with a smile: "If you want to escape, you need to respond to the time and luck, and so on. You are proficient in all arts, have a clear mind, value love and righteousness, and have many kind deeds. This time you are looking for someone, and I am similar. If there is a predestined method, we will sit down and talk after the matter is completed."

Lin Bai bowed again.

"Stop flattering each other!" Cheng Shuang came up, snatched the book from Duhe, and said, "I want it too!"

"Little sister! Are you ashamed?" Cheng Daojin scolded, snatched the book, returned it to Lin Bai, and bowed to Li Xinghe, saying, "Brother Li, can I be included in the discussion?"

Li Xinghe smiled and agreed.

Everyone talked for a while, and then asked Meng Yuan to sit down and listen to her story.

Soon, the night came, and the moon and stars appeared.

On the mountain, the wind was whistling. There were no fireflies, but butterflies were still flying here.

"Back off."

Meng Yuan retreated ten steps away from the bluestone, and everyone followed suit, each alert.

The butterflies gathered more and more, dancing around the forest.

After a quarter of an hour, butterflies of various colors fell on the bluestone, forming a cover.

Then a faint light emanated from the butterflies. The moonlight dimmed, and soon the light of the stars slowly fell, and then countless stars seemed to gather in the sky, and then poured down like a river.

The water of the galaxy fell on the bluestone covered with butterflies, and the butterflies slowly dispersed after being gently brushed by the water. There was galaxy light on the top of the mountain, and the butterflies also danced with the starlight.

Finally, the light of the galaxy slowly flowed from the bluestone to the surroundings, and soon spread to the feet of everyone.

"So beautiful." Ye Ruoqing murmured.

"If you set up a trap formation around this mountain, and then use the bluestone as the formation, and then set up another formation, it would be like an iron chain across the river, unable to advance or retreat!" Lin Bai was very happy, and then he felt lost again, saying: "I just don't know if I can incorporate the starlight here into the formation to use the starlight to form a formation."

"Use the stars to form a formation?" Cheng Shuang shook his head and smiled, saying: "Brother Zhuanlun, is there really such a formation?"

Becoming Brother Zhuanlun again!

Meng Yuan on the other side also smiled and looked at Lin Bai.

"Of course there is." Lin Bai studied the art of formations and smiled lightly, "It's just that it's quite difficult to form a formation. Usually, if you want to form a formation, you need to observe the geography and the trend of spiritual energy. And if you want to use the stars to form a formation, you need to observe the astronomy and the time of day."

"Brother Zhuanlun's words are in line with the theory and magic of formations." Li Xinghe praised.

"It seems that you are not inferior to Gu Yao. The Gu family really doesn't treat you as an outsider, and you are fat!" Cheng Shuang muttered.

Obviously, she knew about the Gu family's mess.

"Say less." Meng Yuan saw that everyone was chatting, so he hurriedly said: "Go forward and touch the bluestone."

No one dared to move.

"Don't be afraid." Meng Yuan smiled slightly, stretched out her hand, and a colorful butterfly landed on her hand, and was blown away by her gently. "The galaxy is ahead. If you want to find a great opportunity, you should step on the river to ask for directions."

"I'll do it!" Cheng Shuang clenched his fist, holding a short-handled silver sword in his hand, and stepped forward.

Stepping on the remaining water of the galaxy, butterflies fluttering beside him.

He came to the bluestone and reached out to touch it.

The bluestone was originally wrapped in the water of the galaxy. When Cheng Shuang gently pressed it, the water immediately flowed up along her fingers.

Then stars appeared on Cheng Shuang's body, and her figure disappeared.

"There is a secret realm hidden in the small world. This..." Cheng Daojin frowned, as if he couldn't understand it.

But even so, he still bowed to everyone and then stepped forward.

When Cheng Daojin also disappeared in the bluestone, Ye Ruoqing did not step forward, but just held Li Xinghe's sleeve tightly.

"Brother Xinghe, are we really going?" Ye Ruoqing looked up at Li Xinghe, with a little fear in her eyes.

"If you don't want to, we can stay here." Li Xinghe said with a smile.

"I..." Ye Ruoqing was in a daze for a long time, and said, "I feel uneasy inside. But if I don't go in because of me, I feel that I have delayed you." She grabbed Li Xinghe's hand and said, "I will always be with you."

Li Xinghe smiled and nodded, saying, "Then let's go together."

Ye Ruoqing nodded, pulled Li Xinghe's hand forward.

When he came to the bluestone, Li Xinghe looked back at Lin Bai and smiled, "The opportunity here may be very important for your future practice. Those who entered the secret realm this time are all selected at the moment. If it's too late, they may be taken by others."

"If the mountain doesn't turn, the water will turn. There's no need to force it. What I'm looking forward to now is just one thing. Brother Li, go ahead, I'll be there later." Lin Bai threw out the wine gourd.

Li Xinghe took the wine gourd and pressed his hand on the bluestone.

"Brother Li, be careful of the people in Jiuyin Mountain." Lin Bai reminded.

Li Xinghe smiled slightly and nodded, saying no more.

After Li Xinghe and Ye Ruoqing disappeared, Meng Yuan sighed.

"Why are you sighing, Senior Sister?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"I don't know either." Meng Yuan shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and a butterfly fell, saying: "They call you Brother Zhuanlun, what is your name?"

"Just a name." Lin Bai smiled calmly, "If Senior Sister doesn't mind, you can call me Lin Zhuanlun in the future."

"This name is a mess." Meng Yuan laughed, "In this world, names are either taken from the original life, or imitated from its shape, or imitated from its category, or derived from its meaning. Or it is taken from the temperament, or given by the elders. Your name is a bit eccentric."

In fact, the name of Zhuanlun also fits the original life stone plate, but outsiders only know that Lin Bai's original life is the vast mist.

Lin Bai was too lazy to argue, and just smiled and said, "Senior sister said before that she was staying outside because she was timid. In my opinion, senior sister is not a timid person, and there must be other reasons."

"I can't lie to you." Meng Yuan admitted it frankly and said with a smile, "We are here to snipe the people of Jiuyin Mountain."

"I would like to hear the details." Lin Bai became interested. Anyway, he was waiting here for nothing, so he might as well do something.

Speaking of which, Gu Qingshui was fooled by Jiuyin Mountain. Lin Bai was considered to be following Gu Qingshui, so he should do a little to earn some face for Aunt Gu.

"No details." Meng Yuan smiled happily, "As long as it can destroy Jiuyin Mountain, I am willing to do it." She stretched out four fingers and said, "We have already snipe four people."

She was very proud.

"I wonder if I am lucky enough to follow you?" Lin Bai smiled.

"I just want to borrow your array power." Meng Yuan laughed, looking sinister.
