The Wheel-Turning Master

The fall of the God of Transformation is the source of pain for the people of Zhou Huishan. Although the old Jindan Lei Song has never seen the grand occasion of Zhou Huishan, he has always hated it and is unwilling to talk about it.

For a while, the room was a little quiet.

Shi Qingyu poured wine tactfully, but did not dare to speak.

After a long time, Lei Song talked to Lin Bai about the art of formation again.

"You have talent in formation, but you still lack guidance. Otherwise, you will be limited by your knowledge and it will be difficult to achieve the top." Lei Song commented first, then took out a booklet and said, "Take a look."

Lin Bai took it and looked at it. It was clearly the book of formation that he had learned before!

However, Lei Song only gave the general outline at the beginning, without the details of the Gu family.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" Lin Bai quickly flipped through it and praised it.

"This is the opening statement. There are more interesting things to come. It tells about the changes of the formation!" Lei Song lowered his voice, "Do you want to learn?"

Old Jindan Lei Song had a big beard and wrinkled face, but his eyes were bright and his voice was very charming.

This formation book is indeed a treasure, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.

Lin Bai looked down on these old Zhou Huishan people more and more.

Also recruiting people, the Gu family directly sent them to the door, and gave instructions from time to time, and did not treat you as an outsider at all. Of course, it is really ruthless to ask for things...

But Lin Bai is still willing to follow the Gu family, even if the Gu family is unreliable, but they are really honest and real!

But Zhou Huishan acted in a stingy manner, as if he was afraid of being stolen. He would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. I don't know if it was a character developed after years of fleeing, or if it was always like this. Anyway, he has lost the demeanor of the Huashen Sect, and even the demeanor of the Yuanying Sect is gone.

Moreover, he always looked down on people, thinking that everyone in Zhouhui Mountain was good, and other people were just country bumpkins who had nothing to show for themselves.

No wonder they were not welcomed all the way south to escape!

"Of course I want to participate in the study." Lin Bai looked eager and asked curiously: "Brother, may I ask which master wrote this book?"

"This is written by my Zhouhui Mountain ancestor Xie Qingxuan." Lei Song stroked his beard with great pride.

Lin Bai had been hanging around in Wuque Mountain for a long time, and he knew a lot about Zhouhui Mountain's southward migration.

The people of Zhouhui Mountain went south in three groups. Xie Qingxuan was a newly promoted Yuanying after the Northern Wilderness Territory's God Transformation came, and then he went south with the second group, but later he left alone, and no one knew where he went.

"My ancestor got this inheritance because he was on good terms with ancestor Xie. In fact, it was the ancestors of Zhou Huishan who paved the way for me, and ancestor Xie perfected it."

Old Jindan Lei Song's eyes were burning, "How about it, brother, do you want to see what's going on? Take a glimpse of the road?"

Why does this person always want me to change my sect?

Lin Bai did not answer, but his doubts became even greater.

What Old Jindan Lei Song said should be true. The book "Entering the Formation" was indeed written by Xie Qingxuan, the Yuanying of Zhou Huishan, but later passed a copy to Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan got it after he went out, and it was said that he was exploring a secret realm.

Lin Bai remembered that Aunt Gu once said that the secret realm was also related to ancestor Xiang.

In this case, ancestor Xiang should have had contact with Xie Qingxuan, but the old people of Zhou Huishan did not know.

I just don't know who was the leader when exploring the secret realm.

If ancestor Xiang sought Xie Qingxuan for help, why didn't he find his own Cheng Yang, who were of the same level?

Of course, it is also possible that Xie Qingxuan led the ancestor to seek external aid. But why didn't Xie Qingxuan look for the old people in Zhouhui Mountain?

Anyway, both are possible. If it is the latter, the secret realm may be related to the old place of Zhouhui Mountain.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai thought of Sister Zhen and the fox again. These two naughty things should be near Zhouhui Mountain at this time, or already in Zhouhui Mountain.

After all, Zhouhui Mountain is vast, far beyond Qiaoshan. Although there are gods guarding it, gods often retreat for a hundred years, and there are only three Yuanyings left to guard it. One person and one fox can easily sneak in.

"My dear brother, there is no need to answer in a hurry." The old Jindan Lei Song stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "There are not many opportunities like this, not to mention that there will be other wonderful methods to be passed down in the future. You should go back and think about it carefully."

"I have longed for Zhou Huishan, and I have long wanted to join it." Lin Bai sighed and waved his hand, saying, "But I am a casual cultivator after all, and I have to rely on the love of the ancestor. If I come to Wuque Mountain..."

"Don't worry." Seeing that Lin Bai was relieved, Lei Song immediately said, "Brother, you are proficient in formations and can make pills. In the future, you will definitely be valued by my ancestor."

"But Xiaoying..." Lin Bai sighed again, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth.

"Don't worry, Yueying is definitely yours, brother." Lei Song held Lin Bai's arm and said, "Yueying is my ancestor's favorite disciple. Isn't it better than you being someone's forbidden toy in Qiaoshan?"

"..." Lin Bai didn't know how his reputation was ruined, let alone how these people spread rumors!

Seeing that they didn't talk about sleeping, Lin Bai pretended to be polite for a while, and then patted his butt and left.

Five days later, Jiang Xingchi finally showed up.

I don't know how he ran around, but he got the leader of Hehuan Sect, Hua Zongzhu, the leader of Tianhuo City, and Lei Zaixiao of Wuque Mountain together for a talk.

Jiang Xingchi wanted to bring Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli with him, but Lin Bai was detained by Lei Zaixiao and asked to help Lei Song.

The three Yuanying only talked for one day, and finally gave face to Qiaoshan and didn't fight.

I heard that they cursed for a day and then went back to their own homes.

These three families are simply impossible to reconcile. Lin Bai thinks that with Jiang Xingchi's wisdom and scheming, he must understand.

And Jiang Xingchi still worked hard to do this, Lin Bai thinks that it was mostly to deal with Xiang Wuhui's job.

"I thought I was just wasting my time, but Senior Jiang is also wasting his time."

Sure enough, the next day after the quarrel, Jiang Xingchi summoned Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to his side.

After the compassionate words were said, Lin and Cheng sighed and pretended to be together, and then they talked about continuing to go north.

"I once swore that I would never become a Taoist until the northern border was peaceful!" Jiang Xingchi was very serious.

Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but they all praised Senior Jiang for his kindness.

"Lin Zhuanlun, I heard that the mountain protection formation was being reset in Wuque Mountain recently. Did you contribute a lot?" Jiang Xingchi looked at Lin Bai.

"Yes." Lin Bai answered honestly, "Senior helped to resolve the war, and I had no contribution, so I was invited to help with the arrangement."

"I plan to continue to go north. Fellow Daoist Lei said that the formation is not yet completed and he wants to keep you for a few days. Are you willing to stay?" Jiang Xingchi asked.

Only a fool would be willing to stay. Lin Bai always wanted to go to the north to take a look!

"I followed you north to stop the war, not for my family or my surname. I really don't want to stay any longer, I just want to follow you!" Lin Bai immediately expressed his attitude.

Jiang Xingchi nodded slightly and said, "Go and hand over the task, and leave with me tomorrow."

Lin Bai took the order and immediately went to find the old Jindan Lei Song.

"My heart is like the moon, although I want to live here forever, but..." Lin Bai sighed and said helplessly, "Brother, wait for me to come back!"

Lei Song didn't expect Lin Bai to leave, and the formation hadn't been set up yet!

"Why don't you let Senior Jiang go first, and I'll stay to help me put the mountain protection formation in place before leaving." Lei Song held Lin Bai's hand and didn't let go, "Brother, I don't have many years to live..."

His words were really pitiful, and his eyes were red.

Lin Bai sighed again.

But after waiting for a long time, the other party neither mentioned the matter of participating in the study of the book on entering the formation nor asking Wang Yueying to sleep. Anyway, they didn't give any benefits, just said what would happen in the future!

Seeing that they were stingy, Lin Bai really lost his mood, and left after a few polite words.

He had been fleecing others all day, but he didn't expect to be fleeced this time, and he didn't get anything, which was really uncomfortable.

After returning to the guest house, Lin Bai drank alone under the moon, and soon Wang Yueying came to keep him.

"Lin Lang, I'll wait for you to come back." Wang Yueying said affectionately.

Lin Bai pulled her in, but Wang Yueying refused, and insisted on saying something strange like watching the moon and saying goodbye.

These old people in Zhou Huishan were really stingy, and Lin Bai could only say some perfunctory words that he would come back in the future, which was considered to be a trick.

"Since you are leaving, please bring a letter for me." Wang Yueying took out a jade slip.

This is a jade slip for transmitting messages, which is mostly used to convey secrets. There is a mark of the soul on it. If you are not a specific person, you can't see anything. If you force it to open, the jade slip will turn into dust.

"When we went south, we passed by Yubi Mountain and met a sister there. We kept in touch." Wang Yueying talked about the history.

Her sister was also an old friend of Zhou Huishan, and was a descendant of the second group of people who went south.

It was a small favor, so Lin Bai was willing.

On the second day, Jiang Xingchi took Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to continue north.

There were many sects and families along the way, and Jiang Xingchi only sought to see the Yuanying sect. It didn't matter whether these sects had grudges with the old people of Zhou Huishan. Anyway, it was nonsense like "We are all cultivators, and we are born from the same roots."

The cultivators here also knew the name of Qiaoshan, but it was too far away for the lower-level cultivators. Some had set foot on the mountain when they traveled far away, and some had only heard of the names of the three sects of Qiaoshan, or heard of the name of Xiang Laozu, but knew very little about the newly promoted Yuanying.

Of course, the vision of Jindan and Yuanying cultivators is much higher than that of low-level disciples. They all know the name of Qiaoshan, and even have had exchanges with the three sects.

Most of them have also heard of the name of the newly promoted Yuanying Jiang Xingchi. Anyway, people either say that they are well-known or have heard of him for a long time.

Traveling around, Lin Bai saw many landscapes, met many Taoist friends, and learned the whereabouts of Bi Huanqiu.

Because of the name of Jiuzha Mountain, the disciples of the major sects were willing to make friends with Bi Huanqiu.

Later, Bi Huanqiu continued to go north, saying that he wanted to visit Shoutian Pavilion and hoped to see the high cultivators in the Northern Wilderness.

After lingering for more than a month, he continued to go north and came to Yubi Mountain.

The old people of Zhou Huishan went south in three batches. Lei Zaixiao had not yet established a firm foothold, but the first two batches had developed well and had become a force to be reckoned with.

However, they were foreign dragons who came from outside. Although they could conquer the Jindan Sect, they had enmity with the local Yuanying Sect.

The second batch of old people of Zhou Huishan who went south had a total of five Yuanyings, and two of them left later, including Xie Qingxuan.

Now the world has changed. One of the three Yuanyings left in the second batch has died of old age, and the other is also very old, and only one is still in his prime.

Yubi Mountain is the occupied territory, and now it has established a sect, named Zhenyu Sect.

I don’t know why, for hundreds of years, Zhenyu Sect has not raised a new Yuanying.

Speaking of which, among the descendants of the old people of Zhou Huishan who went south, not a single Yuanying was raised.

There are Yuanying sects in the northeast and northwest of Zhenyu Sect, and they are all enemies. They really don’t interact with each other until they die, and even fight from time to time.

Goods and people were not allowed to pass through. In the past, there were still independent cultivators who worked alone to earn some spirit stones, but later the two sects issued a strict order, and they had already fortified their defenses and cleared the countryside, and would never have any dealings with the Zhenyu Sect.

There were also Yuanying Sects in the south, and they had seen the virtues of the old people from Zhou Huishan, and they did not interact with the Zhenyu Sect.

Therefore, if the Zhenyu Sect wanted to support Wuque Mountain, it had to go around a big circle and be careful not to be intercepted.

The old people from Zhou Huishan were really despised wherever they went.

"It's so difficult!" The leader of the True Jade Sect is Yuan Jie, who is over 1,500 years old. He is a very friendly person. After listening to Jiang Xingchi's nonsense, he actually agreed very much, "I have heard of Brother Xiang's name a long time ago. Since he has such a great ambition, our True Jade Sect should help!"

He talked for a long time and complained non-stop, talking about the difficulties of the True Jade Sect, saying that it was surrounded by the Guyang Sect and the Qingxin Xuanmen and was unable to breathe, and that there was no successor in the sect...

After making a fuss for a long time, he actually wanted Jiang Xingchi to go to the Guyang Sect and the Qingxin Xuanmen to negotiate, so that the True Jade Sect could take a break, at least to allow merchant ships to travel.

Jiang Xingchi listened to the advice very well and agreed immediately. Seeing that Jiang Xingchi was easy to talk to, Yuan Jie, the leader of the True Jade Sect, pulled Jiang Xingchi in to have a detailed chat.

Lin Bai couldn't follow, and remembered Wang Yueying's letter, so he asked out loud.

"Wang Yueying's letter to me?" The female cultivator who had been standing behind Yuan Jie stepped forward and bowed, "I am Yuan Qiye."

Lin Bai took out the jade slip and Yuan Qiye took it.

"It is indeed a letter from Wang Yueying." Yuan Qiye thanked Lin Bai first, then held the jade slip in his hand and took out a green leaf. When the jade slip met the green leaf, he saw subtle words printed on the green leaf.

After reading it, Yuan Qiye put away the green leaf and invited Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to go out for a drink and chat.

This person is honest and answers every question. If it involves secrets, he will speak frankly.

"Ancestor Xie Qingxuan?" After Lin Bai asked about Xie Qingxuan, Yuan Qiye shook his head, "Ancestor Xie also followed my ancestor to the south. He had just formed his infant at that time and was in his prime. However, he lacked the ambition to make progress and had no family burden, so he traveled far away."

"Do you know where he went?" Lin Bai asked with a smile, and did not forget to explain, "I heard from Brother Lei Song that Senior Xie was good at formations, so I was very curious."

"I don't know either." Yuan Qiye still shook his head, "I heard from my ancestor that Elder Xie thought that all sects and families were burdens, so it was better to travel around. Over the years, he has never had any dealings with those of us who migrated south, and I have never heard of his deeds."

Lin Bai asked again, and seeing that Yuan Qiye really didn't know, he stopped asking.

Since Xie Qingxuan had had dealings with Xiang Wuhui and Gu Qingshan, and Qiaoshan was only six or seven thousand miles away from Wuqueshan, it was not far for a high-level Yuanying cultivator. However, Xie Qingxuan never met with his old friend from Zhou Huishan. There must be another reason.

"What about the other senior in yellow robe?" Lin Bai asked again.

Among the five Yuanying cultivators who went south in the second batch, two of them left home, Xie Qingxuan was one, and the Taoist in yellow robe was the other.

"The Yellow Robe Ancestor..." Yuan Qiye sighed, "There is a life lamp of the Yellow Robe Ancestor in the family, which was extinguished sixty or seventy years ago."

Passed away? Sixty or seventy years ago? Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the Jindan Ancestor of Miaomiao's family.

At that time, the ancestor of the Zhu family was injured outside, and died a few years after returning to Fengming Mountain. Later, Gu Qingshan also died.

The reason was that Gu Qingshan took people out.

After asking carefully, the time was almost the same.

If the two are really related, then Xie Qingxuan and the old Taoist priest in yellow robes should have organized the plan, and Gu Qingshan and others should have contributed manpower.

As for whether it succeeded or not, I don’t know, but many people were killed anyway.

This trip was really worthwhile, and Lin Bai was even more looking forward to seeing Shoutian Pavilion.
