The Wheel-Turning Master

Chapter 219: Alchemy Theory

Qingyun Mountain is towering, with tall trees and dense forests.

There is a single courtyard hidden on the mountainside, which is quiet and peaceful.

Under the plane tree in the courtyard, a drooping old man sat cross-legged, his white eyebrows drooped, almost mixed with his beard.

When the oil is exhausted and the lamp dries up, the body will eventually die.

Lin Bai and Gu Yao advised, but Gu Laoquan did not listen. He just drew the formation and explained the secrets in detail.

The book "Enter the Army" has long been read by Lin and Gu, but due to their vision and knowledge, there are still many things that are unclear.

As Lin Bai listened, he felt as if Senior Gu Laoquan had not fully understood this book. What he said was only his opinion on this book, as well as the formations he had seen and heard.

But even so, Lin Bai listened very seriously to the preaching of Jin Dan, who had a life span of more than 500 years.

"Who wrote the book Entering the Army?" Gu Yao asked curiously.

Gu Laoquan was stunned for a while and said: "I don't know either." He raised his hand with great effort, pointed to the top of the mountain, and said: "The ancestor of Qingshan brought it back from abroad, and did not elaborate on the origin. But according to me It seems that the person who wrote this book has a broad mind and a profound knowledge that is better than that of our ancestors."

He started breathing heavily after talking for a while, and his expression became worse and worse.

Gu Laoquan had not rested much in the past few days and had been explaining the formation to Lin Bai and Gu Yao, which was really a lot of trouble.

The golden elixir has a lifespan of five hundred years, and Gu Laoquan is already over five hundred and twenty years old. His body is already on the last breath. The previous time he set up the Chengyu Pingbo Formation to forcefully activate the demon elixir, his body has already been exhausted. It is extremely rare to be alive until now.

While we were talking, someone came to visit outside.

"Ancestor," Gu Lianzhu entered the courtyard, knelt down respectfully, offered the elixir, and said, "Ancestor came and asked me to deliver the pills. He also asked me to send a message, telling you to have a good rest and not to be too tired. "

Gu Laoquan glanced at the elixir bottle, shook his head slightly, and said: "This is Changchun Pill. It is hard to get. It is the best way to replenish qi and blood."

A smile appeared on his withered face, and he continued: "Good things should not be given to a loser like me. You tell Xiaojiu to keep them for him to eat."

There is a sarcastic meaning in these words, which means that if Gu Jiuzhong does not want to make progress and has no hope of success, he will have to eat this stuff to prolong his life and maintain his health in the future.

Gu Lianzhu was still young and a fool, so naturally he didn't understand the deeper meaning and even gave a few words of advice in a dull manner.

When he saw Gu Laoquan closing his eyes, he kowtowed and left, not forgetting to pull Lin Bai, as if he had something to say.

From beginning to end, Gu Lianzhu didn't even look at Gu Yao, he was really tough.

Lin Bai and Gu Yao persuaded Gu Laoquan again and finally persuaded him to take a rest.

After being noisy for a long time, Lin Bai and Gu Yao came out of the yard and saw Gu Lianzhu still waiting.

"Senior Lin." Gu Lianzhu was very respectful and did not forget to curl his lips at Gu Yao.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, looking like a master.

Gu Yao stepped forward and whispered: "If I weren't afraid of disturbing our ancestors' rest, I would skin you."

Gu Lianzhu's face suddenly turned pale, and he shuddered. He seemed to want to say something, but couldn't open his mouth. After all, he was still afraid of Gu Yao.

After Gu Yao left, Gu Lianzhu straightened his back and said, "Two days ago, for some reason, she beat me again, and I didn't say a word."

Two days ago, Gu Yao listened to Gu Laoquan's teaching. Seeing that Gu Laoquan was getting more and more frustrated, she felt uncomfortable and invited Lin Bai to go out to relax.

Lin Bai also tried to enlighten him a little, but it was completely useless. Later, Gu Yao walked away alone. When she came back from wandering around, she seemed to have gone away from a lot of haze.

So I went to beat you up? You haven't said a word yet? Lin Bai could only smile and say: "Good."

Gu Lianzhu was very proud and said: "Senior Lin, I plan to find a body training method to strengthen myself!" He actually had a plan, and continued: "When I succeed in body training, even if she hits me again, she won't be able to do it." It doesn’t hurt anymore!”

Shouldn't the normal thought be to endure the humiliation and fight back later? How come you have no intention of resisting? Lin Bai didn't understand, but he couldn't control it. Anyway, he was Gu Jiuzhong's caretaker, and Gu Jiuzhong had to worry about it.

"Senior Lin, what do you think?" Gu Lianzhu asked for his opinion.

"Good." Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "Let him be strong, and the breeze will blow on the mountains. Let him be horizontal, and the bright moon will shine on the river. You don't have any intention of hurting others, and your state of mind is already far better than others."

After hearing this, Gu Lianzhu was very happy and said how about going to the Sutra Pavilion. After he finished speaking, he remembered a few words of modesty, bowed again, and left happily.

Judging from his joy, he should have gone straight to the Sutra Pavilion.

"Silly boy, Gu Yao saved his hands when he beat you. When you succeed in your physical training, I'm afraid I'll beat you for real."

Lin Bai didn't take it seriously. Anyway, they just wanted to watch the fun.

All the way to Zhu Jianyang's place, there was only a small Taoist boy guarding him outside. Knowing that Zhu Jianyang was still in retreat, Lin Bai did not disturb him and just sat down cross-legged.

"The fox said that someone was preaching the gospel that day, so he probably wasn't referring to Senior Gu. But who was preaching the gospel? When was he going to preach?"

Lin Bai thought for a while, cursed a few foxes in his mind, then closed his eyes and meditated.

After a while, Miaomiao and others came over, along with several girls of similar age.

Lin Bai couldn't fully recognize him, except that he was a member of the Gu family.

Miao Miao inherited Lin Bai's inheritance, her fighting ability is not very good, but her ability to make friends is quite good.

Moreover, this girl is very clever. She talks about people and ghosts. The first one can use a bamboo hat to trick people into hurting others, the second one can make companions, and the second one is even more imitating the master, always preparing cheap elixirs for delivery.

Anyway, this girl is already a bit better than her master.

Everyone said hello to Lin Bai, who smiled and nodded, looking like a kind elder.

After asking a few idle questions, Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yu again.

Lin Bai had previously obtained the Deer Manual from Lu Haike. Lin Bai thought about it carefully and studied it. It was indeed not very compatible with him, but it seemed to be quite suitable for a girl like Jiang Yu.

Lin Bai did not dare to preach rashly.

It's not that he feels sorry for the Kung Fu. Lin Bai has received many favors from the Jiang family, and he always repays any favors and grudges. It's just a Kung Fu, and he just passes it on.

Moreover, the relationship with the Jiang family is indeed very good now. Xiao Yu'er's sister has slept with her countless times and played chess with Jiang Xingchi, so Lin Bai has no selfish intentions.

Lin Bai only hoped that Jiang Yu would succeed in cultivating Taoism and wipe the butts of silly disciples more often in the future.

But after all, it was a matter of revising the Kung Fu, which was related to his future path. Lin Bai thought about going back to Xinyi Square in a few days to talk to Girl Jiang.

Lin Bai listened to a group of girls talking non-stop. One moment they said that Gu Lianzhu was beaten again, another moment they said that there was a female cultivator from the Tianchi sect who went to the Yang family every day, and the next moment they said that Cheng Shuang was going to compete with Gu Feixue and that she had been invited. Experts from Yunxia Sect's Bagua Mountain divined that the victory was certain.

The temperament of young people is uncertain, and most of them are simple people who like to talk about foreign affairs. Naturally, when there are many people, they will make noises.

Lin Bai had a headache and left quickly.

After looking for Gu Yao, the two went to Gu Laoquan's hospital.

After five days, Gu Laoquan had burned out all the lights and could no longer speak.

The two helped Gu Laoquan into the room, while Gu Yao went to report to Gu Qingshui and Gu Jiuzhong, while Lin Bai stayed here alone.

"The ancestors said that it is the law of nature that the light will be extinguished after death. It will only happen sooner or later if the great path is not achieved." Gu Yao came back and whispered to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai remained silent, only guarding in front of the cave with Gu Yao.

Gu Laoquan said nothing, only stared at the roof with his cloudy eyes.

Two days later, Gu Laoquan suddenly sat up from the bed, his cloudy eyes suddenly glowing.

"Old senior!" This was a flashback, and Lin Bai immediately knelt down in front of Tiao Teng and listened to his last words.

"Ancestor!" Gu Yao's eyes were red and she was holding back tears.

"No, no!"

Gu Laoquan's words were clear and sonorous. He looked out the window and said: "I have lived for more than five hundred years. I have seen many battles between the three sects. I have also seen Yuanying take action, and I have also witnessed Yuanying die. Death, but this is the first time that Yuan Ying among the three factions has been injured or killed due to a fight."

Lin Bai and Gu Yao looked at each other and said nothing.

"Alas, the weather may change!" Gu Laoquan sighed quietly, his voice sad, "Xiao Shuifang is about to advance to Nascent Soul. There are only a few people in my Gu family, and the foundation inside is unstable. There is no help outside. I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in the future. ”

"Nascent Soul is guarding one side, who can shake it?" Lin Bai explained.

"What is the Nascent Soul?" Gu Laoquan's withered hand grasped Lin Bai's hand with great strength, like an eagle's claws tightening. He continued: "Forgot about the Thousand Valley Sand Land? You can fight, but you can The geography and weather of a place change, so what happens to Yuanying? There is no end to the road, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and never take chances."

"Yes." Lin Bai and Gu Yao leaned over and agreed.

Gu Laoquan was still looking at Lin Bai. His eyes were blazing and full of energy, as if he was a hundred years younger and had the aura of a golden elixir. He said: "You and I have a missionary friendship for a few days. If my family is in trouble in the future, I’m not asking you to sacrifice your life to help me, but I’m asking you to give me a little help.”

"Senior's words should be kept in mind by this junior!" Lin Bai immediately agreed.

"Okay, okay, I know your story with the Zhu family. You are not an ungrateful person."

Gu Laoquan smiled, let go of his hand, and wanted to lift up to grab Gu Yao's hand, but he couldn't.

"Ancestor!" Gu Yao quickly grabbed it with both hands and put Gu Laoquan's withered and fleshless hands on her face.

"Kid, please remember," Gu Laoquan said with strong force, as if he was no longer old. "You are in front of Xiao Shui, and you should pass the message for me. Tell her, practice is to go against heaven. Maybe I’ll be alone in the end, but it’s always good to make some good teachers and friends.”

"Yaoer remembers it." Gu Yao burst into tears.

"Although Fairy Shen Yu is not related to her, she is still willing to get close to her. She should make more friends with her." Gu Laoquan did not look at Gu Yao's tears, but continued: "One day, Old Ancestor Cheng will pass away. You need to take care of other people's descendants and make good friends. Grandpa Yang is safe and has a deep city, so he has to make good friends."

He suddenly raised his voice and said: "There is more! When the ancestor of Qingshan was here, he made friends from all over the world, including Yuanying Jindan. He also had several contacts with Chen Tianren. During the Xiaoshui Yuanying Taoist Association, Chen Tianren also We are here in person, don’t let this relationship break.”

Gu Laoquan was very serious and warned: "You should move around more in the future. Or send Xiaojiu, or even Xiaoshui to visit Chen Tianren in person, it won't be shameful."

After saying this, Gu Laoquan seemed to have exhausted all his strength and lay down again, panting.

The eyes become cloudy again and only become bright again when they are no longer visible.

When this person was dying, he was still thinking about the advancement and retreat of his family.

"I don't know the truth after a thousand turns, but the years have turned into dust." Gu Laoquan murmured the words to his ancestor, and finally became silent.

Gu Yao kept sobbing, and Lin Bai stared blankly, as if dreaming back to the heavy snowfall in Huaxi County.

It was dawn.

The wind and snow outside are like knives, and they are like the weight of golden elixir;

The stove in the house was baking, but it couldn't dry Xiu Xiu's tears. She could only watch Mr. Bai pass away.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning were at a loss as to where they were going. They felt that the road ahead was long, like walking on snowy ground, and it was difficult to distinguish the safety ahead.

After a long time, Gu Laoquan slowly closed his eyes.

The door and window slowly opened, and Gu Qingshui stood under the window, looking at the sky.

Gu Jiuzhong stood under the tree in the courtyard, speechless.

"Life between heaven and earth is like a traveler from afar." Gu Qingshui sighed, then transformed into the clear water and left.

Gu Yao cried quietly to herself, while Lin Bai said nothing.

After a long time, Miaomiao came looking for her.

"Master," Miaomiao Xu felt something, and knelt down outside the door, saying, "Grandpa Sheep has come out of seclusion and sent me to find Master."

When you live, you die, when you die, you live. Gu Laoquan died at the end of his life, and Zhu Jianyang entered the country again.

Lin Bai stood up and went out, helped Miaomiao up, took her hand, and said, "Do you miss your dad?"

Miaomiao shook her head and said: "The deceased is gone, and it is useless to remember him in vain. I know that my father's legacy is to rejuvenate the Zhu family, and I should try my best to inherit it."

She used to like to wear all kinds of robes, but since Zhu Yumao's death, she has been wearing black clothes. It has not been replaced yet, it has always been like this.

Although the murderer Lu Shiping had been killed and Lu Haike was dead, Lin Bai knew that despite her harsh words, this girl actually still held a grudge against Jiuyin Mountain.

"Senior Gu Laoquan of the Gu family passed away at the end of his life. He and his teacher had the kindness to preach. You can go in and kowtow." Lin Bai said.

"Yes." Miaomiao responded respectfully, entered the room, and bowed again and again in front of Gaotan.

After kneeling down and worshiping, Miaomiao Xu, who had experienced the pain of the death of a relative, did not say anything to persuade Gu Yao. She just stood up and bowed to Gu Yao again, and then slowly exited.

The master and apprentice stopped talking and walked out of the yard hand in hand.

Jiang Yu and Ye Qingmeng were waiting outside the courtyard gate. Both women seemed concerned and seemed to know what was going on in the courtyard.

The Jiang family of the former has experienced several deaths and outsiders, while the latter has just lost his sister.

After saying a few words, Lin Bai took the three women to Zhu Jianyang's residence.

"When did you leave seclusion?" Lin Bai asked.

"About two hours ago." Miaomiao answered honestly, "Grandpa Sheep seems to have gained something again. He talked to my sister-in-law for a long time." She said with pride on her face: "I also asked about Master. He admired me very much. Woolen cloth!"

"It's a great thing that he can make some progress." Lin Bai sighed.

Ever since he met Zhu Jianyang, Lin Bai had been supported by him many times. Teaching the method of alchemy allowed Lin Bai to gain a foothold in Xinyi Square.

Later, he was asked to observe Chen Tianren's calligraphy, and he gained something again.

After many turmoils, it can be said that he and Zhu Jianyang are close friends of life and death. They are inextricably linked to the Zhu family and can no longer be separated.

Now that he has a daughter from the Zhu family as his disciple, it is not an exaggeration for Lin Bai to say that she is from the Zhu family.

When he came to the yard, Zhu saw the sheep already waiting.

Zhu Yuhuan and Gu Wushang were sitting cross-legged, as if listening to Zhu Jianyang's talk about the gains from retreat.

"Senior has entered the country again, congratulations!" Lin Bai walked into the courtyard with a smile.

"How can you call me senior again?" Zhu Jianyang stood up with a smile, holding his beard and looking at Lin Bai.

Zhu Yuhuan and Gu Wushang stood up and saluted.

Everyone sat down, and the three women, together with Gu Wushang, stood beside them. Miao Miao was the most filial person and immediately served tea to San Zhuji.

"I noticed that you are a bit depressed and sad. What happened?" Zhu Jianyang asked curiously.

Lin Bai didn't hide anything. He only said that Mr. Gu, the eldest member of the Gu family, died all over the body. He was still thinking about the future of the Gu family, so he thought about the past and felt sad.

"Crawling in the world, you can be indomitable; you can't be free from the worries of the world." Zhu Jianyang also seemed to recall the past, and sighed quietly, saying: "Everyone yearns for the road to immortality. But how difficult is the way of heaven, and how many things are there in the world? If you want to change your destiny, Only work hard.”

He looked at Lin Bai, pointed to the sky, and asked: "After several lives and deaths, several experiences in secret realms, sitting and watching others, do you think about yourself?" He asked warmly: "Has the elixir theory been drawn up?"
