The Wheel-Turning Master

Li Wusheng saw clearly that Lin Zhuanlun had clearly noticed him, but ignored him at all. He only stood on the high platform, his face becoming more determined and sad.

After listening to Lin Zhuanlun's talk for a long time, it was nothing more than corruption among officials and the people's livelihood. He also talked about equal land being exempted from Ding tax.

Li Wusheng was not interested in any of this, but the refugees listened very seriously.

"Why do you feel that Lin Zhuanlun is very familiar with these rebellions? It seems that he has been planning for a long time..."

Li Wusheng was not in a hurry to ask, and just watched from a distance.

After a while, a panting child ran over, took out a piece of pancake from his arms, handed it to him with both hands, "Wu Sheng, old mother, eat it."

Now Li Wusheng has long accepted the title of "Old Mother of No Life". Anyway, she is ignorant and ignorant, and she doesn't care about it.

The child's parents died of hunger and illness. Li Wusheng helped bury the child and treated the child's illness, so he stayed with Li Wusheng.

"Where did the cake come from? Have you eaten it?" Li Wusheng asked.

"The Gourd King gave it to me! I drank the porridge!" The child was very excited. "The King is a good man. He even touched my head and said that he would never let me go hungry again, and he would never let everyone go hungry again!"

Li Wusheng didn't understand what this Junior Brother Zhuanlun was up to, and just shook his head.

After taking the pancake, Li Wusheng really started to chew it.

The high platform in the distance became more and more lively, and the refugees who had finished their rice porridge gained strength. When the Gourd King shouted, they also followed suit.

Countless refugees gathered under the city wall, breathing out into dragons, their vitality soaring to the sky.

Li Wusheng watched from a distance, broke half of the cake and gave it to the child.

The child took the pancake and ate it carefully, mumbling about the deeds of the Gourd King.

Starting from leading a dozen refugees, he later had thousands of refugees following him, repelled several pursuits by officers and soldiers, and robbed the granaries of many wealthy households.

Someone went down the river to catch fish and found a book hidden in the belly of the fish, which wrote something like the Gourd King. From then on, he was called the Gourd King.

Later, during the night march, a green-skinned fox jumped out, knelt down and saluted the Gourd King, and cracked his head.

As a result, the name of the Gourd King became more and more popular, and more and more people gathered together, which became a trend.

It was almost sunset when the Gourd King over there finished speaking. Li Wusheng was about to go look for him, but he saw a strong man running over.

"Your Majesty heard that the old mother Wusheng who was rescuing people in distress had come, and he was so happy that he couldn't eat. He wanted to come to greet her personally, but there were too many things in the camp, so he ordered the villain to come and invite her!" The strong man said angrily.

Obviously, as a Golden Elixir cultivator, he can only arrive in one step, but he still wants someone to convey the message. This is really a commonplace way.

Li Wusheng held his forehead, feeling a headache.

"This place is all commonplace, and there are no supernatural powers. Lin Zhuanlun does not use supernatural powers and acts as a commonplace person. It seems that he coincides with me."

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Wusheng felt a little more admired.

She was not a fool. She had already asked Mo Yingcheng about the status of Junior Brother Zhuanlun. She knew that he had risen from Qiaoshan, was deeply loved by the ancestor of the Gu family, and had an old relationship with Fairy Shen Yu. He was indeed quite capable.

"I'm just talking about how the ancestor of the Gu family sent an alchemist here to practice. It seems that Junior Brother Zhuan Lun is really keen on opportunities."

Li Wusheng wanted to chat with this Junior Brother Zhuan Lun more and more to see what he thought of this trial.

Follow the strong man forward and enter the Calabash Army camp.

Although most of the tents in the camp are in tatters, they are quite tidy and clean, and come and go in an orderly manner.

Arriving at a tent surrounded by people, the strong man pointed and said, "Wu Sheng, come in!"

"No need to communicate?" Li Wusheng knew that there were many rules in the world.

"Just come in!" The man said very boldly, "The king said that all the poor people in the world are his brothers and sisters. Why do you need to pass the news to your unborn mother when she sees her own brothers?"

"..." Li Wusheng shook his head helplessly and stepped into the tent.

The tent was also crowded with people. Lin Zhuanlun sat in front of an old man with tears streaming down his face, holding the old man's hand and nodding from time to time, his face full of grief and indignation.

There were several young people nearby, also gritting their teeth.

Li Wusheng saw that Lin Zhuanlun didn't even look at him, but was still listening to the old man's words carefully.

"..." Li Wusheng didn't bother him. After listening for a while, he realized that the old man was complaining. At one moment, he said that his son was drafted to build the city wall and froze to death. At another moment, his daughter was snatched away by the bullies in the village.

After grinding for a while, torches were lit outside the tent. Lin Zhuanlun listened to the old man's complaints, comforted him, and then sent him out in person.

"Senior sister, you came just in time!" Lin Bai patted the gourd on his waist, "Let's do a great job!" He stepped forward and whispered: "Do you have the guts for Prince General Xiang Ning?"

"..." Li Wusheng held his forehead and said helplessly: "Junior Brother Zhuanlun, have you forgotten your original intention? This is a place of trial. Have you not woken up yet?"

"It's just a joke." Lin Bai laughed.

"Tell me about what happened here." Li Wusheng had a headache.

"Talking while walking." Lin Bai pulled Li Wusheng out of the tent, nodding gently to the people coming and going from time to time, and said to Li Wusheng: "When I first came here, I walked around here. Although there are legends about strange things, there are no monks like me. , there is not even half a monster.”

He pointed to the sky and said: "There is no spiritual energy at all, and it feels very boring to walk in the world. How can I practice?"

"This place of trial is indeed only mundane." Li Wusheng sighed slightly, "Except for praying for rain and attracting wind, most of the magical powers are not hindered."

"That's right!" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"But this is a place of trial, so who is the trialist?" Li Wusheng asked.

"What do you think, senior sister?" Lin Bai asked instead without answering.

Li Wusheng pondered for a long time, and then said: "Since we have fallen into the mortal world, you and I should act as ordinary people and act according to our destiny and elixir theory!"

"Heroes see the same thing!" A look of admiration and admiration appeared on Lin Bai's face, "Previously, I only thought that Senior Brother Mo was greedy for Senior Sister's beauty. I never thought that Senior Sister also has a deep heart, a good mind and knowledge, and a beautiful appearance and wisdom! Now it seems that when What a talented and beautiful woman!”

"Junior brother, you are so nice when you talk." Li Wusheng finally waved his hands in embarrassment, with a smile on his face, and asked: "So junior brother, what do I think?"

"Exactly, as an ordinary person, we act according to our destiny and elixir theory." Lin Bai was very sincere and serious. "Of course, although we walk in the mortal world, we must not forget the desire to seek the Tao."

Li Wusheng nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

"Senior Sister, will you help me to pacify all directions and rebuild the world?" Lin Bai said.

"..." Li Wusheng always felt that she was being taken in by this Junior Brother Zhuan Lun. She was stunned for a moment and asked: "So you are planning to become a mortal emperor?"

"Alas." Lin Bai clasped his hands and sighed, looking at the sky from a distance. He saw stars all over the sky, as lonely as snow, and said, "Although I have no intention of chasing deer, I know the suffering of the common people."

"That's right. Ordinary people have short-sightedness. They can only see for a moment and cannot plan for the future." Li Wusheng nodded, "But my junior brother's behavior is in line with his state of mind? Is it in line with the elixir theory? Is it in line with the purpose of the trial?"

"I heard from Senior Brother Mo that my sister's name was Li Xisheng before she formed the elixir. After she formed the elixir, she bowed before the Master and was given the name Wusheng." Lin Bai did not answer, only looked at Li Wusheng and asked with a smile: "Sister, how do you plan to act in a way that suits you?"

Li Wusheng didn't answer and asked: "What about you?"

"The human heart is like water, and the movement of the people is like smoke. The torrent of the world is so vast, so naturally I want to be the one to ride the tide." Lin Bai replied with a smile.

"The loud sound is loud, the elephant is invisible. The Tao is hidden and nameless." Li Wusheng clapped his hands and smiled: "Then I will just watch the scene and listen to the sound, and see how you succeed!"

"Okay!" Lin Bai was very happy and said: "The senior sister is still a silent old mother, specializing in pharmacology and medicine. Although it will help me, it is not great. It is suitable for watching the scenery and listening to the sounds."

Li Wusheng thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The two of them had reached a consensus and said no more.

Three years later, the refugees gathered into an army, and the long-drought land finally received rain.

Because the Calabash Army has strict military discipline and has always had no offense with the people, and has an excellent reputation, it only took three days to capture the capital and defeat the ministers.

"I, Lin Xianhu, am a sensible person. I don't want to be the emperor." In the imperial city, in front of the Golden Palace, Lin Bai was wearing treasure armor and refused to become emperor.

Two old men in Confucian shirts stepped forward and tried their best to persuade them to come in. They talked non-stop, quoted classics, and kept shouting the words "God's will".

A group of generals who followed Lin Bai also stepped forward to persuade him.

"Now that the world is undecided and wars are raging, the heroes from the north and the south all have hidden ambitions and covet the throne! Furthermore, how could I, Lin Xianhu, be so virtuous that I dare to occupy the high position?" Lin Bai looked serious and refused repeatedly.

Many subordinates repeatedly tried to persuade Li Wusheng to come in, but to no avail. In desperation, they surrounded Li Wusheng and complained: "Old Mother Wusheng, you are a person respected by the king, you must persuade the king properly!"

Li Wusheng's ears hurt from the noise from a group of people, so he gave everyone some advice in a low voice.

Soon, a group of people started to explode. They stepped forward one after another, took off Lin Bai's armor, put on the dragon robe, carried it and headed towards the dragon throne.

"What are you going to do? How presumptuous! Are you going to rebel?" Lin Bai had no choice but to be pushed onto the dragon throne by everyone.

Then everyone fell to their knees and shouted long live.

"You are really hurting me! You are really hurting me!" Lin Bai gestured at the dragon robe and found that it fit him well. A smile slowly appeared on his face with a look of helplessness.

Li Wusheng watched from the side and couldn't help but hold his forehead, thinking that Junior Brother Zhuan Lun was really getting more and more into the drama.

From then on, the country was established as Dahu, with the reign name of Hulu.

It only took another year to pacify the remaining forces in the country. After five years of self-cultivation, he launched his troops in the Northern Expedition, and the imperial commander personally conducted the expedition, plowing the courts and sweeping the holes of the foreign tribes.

Then, with the power of great victory, he determined to innovate.

The Calabash Emperor did not care about beauty, built palaces, and was not greedy for delicacies. He only focused on national affairs and worked hard to govern, build rivers, change the administration of officials, and lighten the corvee. From then on, the great Calabash Emperor began.

Forty years later, Lin Bai was already old. "There are five great scholars in the current dynasty..."

After forcing all the ministers to kneel down, Lin Bai walked out of the hall. Li Wusheng stepped forward in the vast white snow.

"I noticed that the sky has changed, and there seems to be signs of instability here. Is the trial completed?" Li Wusheng asked.

"Perhaps." Lin Bai sighed with his hands behind his hands, "The worldly affairs wear down ambitions. I... I have seen people coming and going, but I feel that people's hearts are changeable. Many of the old friends who followed me have long forgotten their original intentions, and now they have completely changed. I am afraid that the great country I built will not be able to survive far. "

"Then what do you get?" Li Wusheng asked again.

Lin Bai remained silent. This time he entered the world and competed for supremacy. Standing on the top of the mountain, he watched the changes in dynasties and the changes in people's hearts.

The changes here are like the long river of time. Although it is only a scoop, how can we see it clearly? It looks like a ridge from the side and a peak from the side. When you are in the mountains, even if you reach the top, it is difficult to get a full view.

Lin Bai shook his head slightly, looked at the wind and snow in the sky, and asked, "Senior sister, have you gained anything?"

"Dayin Xisheng. I want to see you succeed, so I can listen to Xisheng. If you can't succeed, how can I succeed?" Li Wusheng actually complained.

"I actually gained a little bit, but even though I'm in a long river, I don't want to follow the tide."

Lin Bai, who was originally pale, turned back to a young face and said with a smile: "From young and strong to old, and crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but I always feel that it is not enough."

After saying this, the north wind stopped, and the snow on the ground flew into the sky. The earth trembled and the sky collapsed.

"What happened?" Li Wusheng wanted to protect himself, but his magical powers were suppressed and he could not use any strength.

In a daze, it seemed that he stepped into the door of the trial secret realm again.

Opening his eyes, Li Wusheng found that he was in the fields, and it was the first time he entered this place.

Soon, she saw Lin Zhuanlun falling in front of her.

"It seems to have come again, just like you and I first entered this place." Lin Bai said.

"It seems that the trial is not over yet." Li Wusheng sighed and asked helplessly: "What are you going to do this time?"

Lin Bai thought for a while and said: "In the last life, I went from a commoner to an emperor, which was not very interesting. This time I plan to go to the court and save the collapsing building!"

"Not helping the refugees?" Li Wusheng asked.

"Not helping." Lin Bai shook his head.

"In the last life, you led countless refugees to revolt, saying that you were acting on behalf of heaven and returning justice to the world. Now you want to suppress the refugees, you are not upholding justice?" Li Wusheng questioned.

"Senior sister." Lin Bai smiled, "Which side I stand on is justice."

Li Wusheng laughed when he heard it, "No wonder Junior Brother can be favored by the ancestor of the Gu family."

This is an insult for being thick-skinned, Lin Bai just pretended not to understand.

The two talked a few more words and then went their separate ways.

Using the matter of pacifying the disaster victims, Lin Xianhu entered the court, and rose step by step with military merits, forming gangs and eliminating dissidents.

In just ten years, he had gained power over the government and the country.

"Now that I am in a high position in the government, I feel that the worldly affairs are too difficult to do things!" Late at night, Lin Bai saw Li Wusheng coming to visit, and he sighed repeatedly.

"I am tired too." Li Wusheng shook his head.

"Senior sister, I won't say much. You and I are ordinary people, and we need to sleep to be in line with the meaning of the trial." Lin Bai said seriously.

"That's right." Li Wusheng waved his sleeves and flew away.

Lin Bai also went back to sleep.

After a while, there was a commotion outside.

"Prime Minister, foreign races are invading, I rely on you!" A young man rushed to the bed and knelt down with tears in his eyes.

Lin Bai climbed up from the dragon bed, helped the young man in dragon robe, and said: I am a commoner, and I was promoted from the grass by the late emperor. How dare I not work hard?

After saying that, he took the little emperor out for two steps, then looked back at the dragon couch and said, "Queen Mother, please rest well. I will be back soon."

After pacifying the foreign races, Lin Bai became more powerful. People in the world only knew Lin Xian Hulu, but not the young emperor.

Five years later, the emperor became strong.

Li Wusheng watched helplessly as this junior brother Zhuanlun was so complacent that he was actually seized by the inside and outside forces, and then a series of titles such as Prime Minister and Grand Master were stripped away, and then he was demoted again and again, and finally became a gatekeeper.

"If you are in a high position in the temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away in the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the monarch." Lin Bai stood at the gate of the city with a spear in his hand. Seeing Li Wusheng coming to visit again, he sighed helplessly.

Li Wusheng shook his head and laughed, "I thought you were thinking about the queen mother!"

In the third life, Lin Bai became a noble son, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but then his family declined and he became a beggar.

"Sister, you can accompany an emperor of a country, and you can accompany a beggar in the downtown. What can you gain?"

In the rainy night in the dilapidated temple, Lin Bai sat in front of a pile of residual fire, holding a gourd and drinking a sip of wine, and then asked with a smile.

"It's all just a handful of yellow soil." Li Wusheng shook his head slightly, and then said helplessly: "How can I pass the trial here, do you have any clues, junior brother?"

"I found that I took the wrong path before." Lin Bai took another sip of wine, and did not forget to pour a glass for Li Wusheng, "Entering the long river, it is not to become a drop or a scoop of it. Instead, I am the long river itself, or a fish swimming, swimming in the thousands of miles of stars."

"I would like to listen to the sound of the long river, junior brother." Li Wusheng was much more serious.
