The Wheel-Turning Master

Lin Bai looked out the window. There was a rosy glow outside. It must be evening.

From last night to tonight, he had experienced many ups and downs.

Lin Bai's eyes were calm, he had no desires or requests, his heart was like an ancient well, like a saint, and he was thinking about the thoughts of a sage:

"Where is the end of martial arts? Where are the immortals?"

"What is the meaning of life? Is it to constantly pursue the strongest? Or to be mediocre? What is the difference between weaving mats and selling shoes and being the emperor?"

Just as he was about to compare himself with the ancient sages, his stomach growled twice.

Since last night until now, Lin Bai has not rested much, nor has he eaten anything serious. He only ate a few steamed buns in the morning.

As a young man, he also practiced internal skills and trained his muscles and bones. Lin Bai was not sleepy at this moment, but he was hungry and full.

He turned his head and saw Mu Zhen. She had closed her eyes and fell asleep, and her face was flushed.

Lin Bai wanted to get something to eat, so he patted her.

Mu Zhen turned around, still mumbling, "Is it over?" Her voice was lazy and a bit impatient.

Lin Bai had not been with her for a long time, but they had a tacit understanding...

It was just now that she misunderstood.

"My arm is numb from the pillow." Lin Bai said helplessly.

Mu Zhen moved, Lin Bai pulled his arm back, went downstairs and drank a few sips of herbal tea.

He came to the kitchen, boiled hot water first, and then wiped his body with cold water.

After tidying up, Lin Bai sat by the fire, poked the stove, and closed his eyes to empty his mind.

He immediately appeared in the stone plate space, Lin Bai crossed his legs and thought carefully.

When they arrived at Mu Zhen's house last night, they didn't talk too much and quickly entered the alley, but Lin Bai was always alert in his heart.

But after a while, Lin Bai found that Mu Zhen was very normal.

At that time, the fog in the stone plate space did not change, and Lin Bai secretly felt Mu Zhen's pulse, which was indeed a normal woman's pulse.

Then Lin Bai let down his guard and ignored everything, taking breaks and resting until now.

"Of course, this doesn't mean that Mu Zhen is normal. If her strength is far superior to mine, her pulse can change... But her expression and reaction at that time didn't seem to be a disguise."

"And her belly is plump, her limbs are as strong as an ordinary woman, and her breathing interval is also ordinary. She is definitely not a martial artist, let alone practicing internal skills."

"She can't be a Taoist immortal..."

Thinking of this, Lin Bai was suddenly stunned and felt that this was possible.

"The most suspicious thing is that she looks good and has no relatives to rely on, but for many years, she has been able to settle down in the North City without anyone coming to her house to make trouble. Is this the treatment of a beautiful widow in a poor place?"

"If the stone plate is some kind of artifact, it is normal to attract others to chase it. Mu Zhen came for the stone plate? Then how did she discover this secret? Or can all the cultivators see the abnormality in me?"

"I got the stone plate after I dreamed of returning to another world and solved the mystery of my womb. And she has been selling buns for several years. Before, she was with She doesn't have many contacts with me, she's just an ordinary neighbor. Could it be that she had planned it long ago, but she didn't come to my house to deliver buns until I got the stone plate... Then my stone plate doesn't seem to be that powerful. "

"If that's the case, I'm afraid she has seen everything I've done these days. She even knew that I eavesdropped and suspected her identity."

"And last time I wanted to be honest with her, she asked me to wait, and then Ren Biao came to her door on a whim..."

"After that, she slept with me, but I didn't remember it afterwards. I didn't get any details, and I thought I was drunk and forgot. Now I think about it, I practiced Wuji Gong diligently, how could I get drunk easily? She must have knocked me out and tried to find out my secrets, but to no avail. The mist outside the stone plate blocked some of her methods. "

"Then, I was determined to kill Ren Biao, and even acted carelessly and took up a knife to force her way in... Did she want to see how much progress I had made in these days? To infer some effect of the stone plate?"

"For the stone plate, she not only gave herself to me, but also cooperated with my small requests. I don't know if she was into the role. Too deep, but still had fun. "

"But why didn't she take me down directly? Was it out of some concerns or other reasons?"

"If that's the case, her strength... judging from her performance last night and today, she shouldn't be much stronger than me. Or, her strength doesn't lie in her muscles and internal strength, but in some kind of magic..."

"And she's not that strong, otherwise how could she have the face to sleep with a weaver like me who sells shoes?"

After thinking about it, although it's far-fetched, it can at least make sense.

Lin Bai would rather believe it. It's rumored that there are immortals in this world who practice cultivation, and it's always right to be more careful.

"Anyway, she doesn't have the intention to harm me for the time being, otherwise there will be too many opportunities to kill me. Since I can't run away, I can only wait and see."

As for whether he misunderstood Mu Zhen, Lin Bai felt that this was related to his own secrets, and even his life. If it was a misunderstanding, it was a misunderstanding, and he would make up for it in the future.

"From now on, when you think about important things, you should stay inside the stone plate, not outside. Who knows what strange tricks others might use."

Lin Bai opened his eyes, the kitchen stove was still burning, and the water was not boiling.

Standing up, returning to the bedroom, putting on clothes, Lin Bai looked at Mu Zhen who was still sleeping, and patted her gently.

Mu Zhen did not open her eyes either, and continued to rest.

"Are you still sleepy? Get up and eat." Lin Bai pinched her, thinking that it would be great if he could marry her home.

"I'm not hungry..." Mu Zhen rubbed her head and sat up, "Go away, you eat first, and conserve your strength..."

"..." Does this mean I'm vain? Lin Bai's face turned red, but he said seriously: "While we are eating, let's talk about something important."

"What's the big deal?" Mu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is it our business?"

"Of course. Although I, Lin Bai, make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, I also know the word loyalty. You don't despise me, but you still pledge yourself to me. How can I be a person who starts in chaos and ends up abandoning you?" Lin Bai spoke righteously.

"You're so elegant, do you want to show that you've read a book?" Mu Zhen sat up, tilted her head slightly, played with her hair on her temples with both hands, and said, "You're talking like a human being."

Lin Bai said: "I don't sleep in vain."

"Do you really want to marry me? Don't you think I'm a widow?" Mu Zhen asked again.

Lin Bai said: "Heaven and earth can learn from each other!"

"Then when do you plan to marry me?" Mu Zhen looked a little shy.

"Whenever you say, that's when." Lin Bai sat over, held her hand, and stared at her affectionately.

"I will listen to you." Mu Zhen slapped the back of Lin Bai's hand, her face even more shy.

"It's not peaceful in the city these days. After a month or two, I'll ask Doctor Bai to come and propose marriage." Lin Bai was very serious, patted her hand and said, "You have what others have, and I will never let you suffer." Feeling wronged.”

"I will listen to you." Mu Zhen still said this, but she leaned on Lin Bai.

"Then you rest for a while, and I'll cook for you." Lin Bai said.

"Okay." Mu Zhen nodded immediately, but then slapped her forehead, "How can you let a man cook? You rest, I'll go." She put on her clothes randomly, twisted her waist and went to the kitchen.

Lin Bai touched his forehead and saw no doubts at all. Instead, he only felt that Mu Zhen was virtuous.
