The Wheel-Turning Master

There was no other way, Lin Bai could only say some nonsense like "victory and defeat are common in the military", "first defeat and then victory, the enemy will be defeated soon".

Jing Situi agreed very much, and then invited Lin Bai to go to Jiuzha Mountain together, and Lin Bai naturally agreed.

The two of them first said goodbye to Mo Yingcheng and his wife, and then went to Jiuzha Mountain.

When they arrived at Jiuzha Mountain, they saw that the hall was in chaos inside and outside.

Jiuzha Mountain covers a very large area, even more than Qiaoshan Mountain, and the trade and goods output are better than Qiaoshan Mountain.

Moreover, the seven Yuanyings in Jiuzha Mountain are really powerful.

However, Jiuzha Mountain is more like an alliance. Although Lihuo Taoist is the leader, he was also recommended by the Yuanying after discussion.

Qiaoshan has the highest realm and the most prestige because of the ancestors, and it has always been a one-person hall, while Jiuzha Mountain is like everyone living together.

Lihuo Taoist is the leader, and the other six Yuanyings are elders.

The elders only listen to the headmaster for minor matters, and always take care of major matters on their own. Only one of them has a close relationship with Lihuo Taoist and can be considered an ally.

For example, Yan Qingfeng, who advocates war, actually has an average relationship with Lihuo Taoist. The last time he ambushed Yuliu Mountain, he even tricked Lihuo Taoist.

And the wine fairy Du Jueming has always been at odds with Lihuo Taoist. This time he went north at the invitation of Yan Qingfeng.

Although there are many Yuanying in Jiuzha Mountain, the only ones who can hope to go further are Lihuo Taoist, Yan Qingfeng and Du Jueming. The rest of the Yuanying Dao are hopeless. Although they have outstanding disciples, they are still far from Yuanying, let alone Huashen. Therefore, they are not determined to fight, and they are also afraid of revenge from Shoutian Pavilion.

Now that Lihuo Taoist has gone north to put out the fire, Jing Si Tui, as the eldest disciple, naturally has to deal with the situation.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw four Yuanying elders waiting.

After a good explanation, Jing Si Tui brought Lin Bai out to make a tiger skin.

Lin Bai could only pretend to be confident. He said that Xiang Wuhui would win and Shoutian Pavilion would be destroyed soon. He said that Xiang Wuhui would soon become a god and the way of heaven could not be violated.

Perhaps because Xiang Wuhui showed his true ability in killing Yu Liushan, the Yuanyings of Jiuzha Mountain gave him face and did not make things difficult for Lin Bai. They only asked about the frontline and Xiang Wuhui's plan.

After getting by with a pinched nose, Jing Situi went to allocate supplies and maintain logistics.

Among the four Yuanyings left behind in Jiuzha Mountain, except for Elder Qin who was an ally of Lihuo Taoist and supported Jing Situi, the other three Yuanyings mostly dealt with the matter. The coordination of materials within the sect also required spirit stones, which showed that they were unwilling to contribute, and they also sent a lot of seeds outside.

However, even if the Yuanyings above made things difficult, there were still people who secretly communicated with Jing Situi.

The reason is simple. First, Jing Si Tui is fair and generous, and has a high reputation among the younger generation. Second, young people are radical. Seeing that Yu Liushan is vulnerable, the voices of advocating war are rising.

Lin Bai accompanied Jing Si Tui for a long time and met many fellow Taoists. Some people directly asked how the women of Shoutian Pavilion compared to Jiuyin Mountain, and some people asked how Yuanying tasted.

This was all caused by Beiyouji. Lin Bai only admitted that the women of Shoutian Pavilion were as unrestrained as wild horses and delicious, but did not admit the matter of Yuanying.

Barely stabilizing the morale of the Jiuzhashan army, Lin Bai accompanied Jing Si Tui to sort out the material exchanges, and then went to see Bi Huanqiu.

The siege of Yu Liushan was the pretext of Jiang Xingchi borrowing the sword intent in Bi Huanqiu's body. Although Lihuo Taoist has entered the alley, he is still dissatisfied with Bi Huanqiu, so he put him in confinement.

However, Bi Huanqiu got a blessing in disguise and broke through in one fell swoop, entering the middle stage of Jindan, which is considered a deep blessing.

"I finally understand that those who can achieve the Nascent Soul stage all have their own strengths. They must not only be skilled but also bold. In the past, I only thought that the Nascent Soul cultivators had a long life span and practiced in seclusion all day, which made them think more. I never thought that Senior Jiang, who had just achieved the Nascent Soul stage, had also made very deep plans."

Bi Huanqiu kept talking, "From going north to persuade peace, to leading me to find Senior Xie, to besieging and killing Yu Liushan, and then to the Northern Expedition, you had already planned it! There are really no good people in Qiaoshan!"

"..."Lin Bai didn't know how to refute her. Seeing that she was getting angrier and angrier, he pushed her over and pushed her hard.

After extinguishing Bi Huanqiu's anger, she became a little gentle.

"I thought the opportunity was in the north, but I never thought the opportunity was at home." Bi Huanqiu's clothes were tattered, but he was much more serious. "I went north all the way, saw many hardships, and was brought back by Senior Jiang. I witnessed the battle of the Nascent Soul, and finally realized something in my heart."

"What did you get?" Lin Bai asked.

"Senior Jiang's few words about chess pieces, I used to think he was too modest."

Bi Huanqiu raised his head slightly, with a look of yearning, "After I saw Ancestor Xiang take action, I realized that only Ancestor Xiang was qualified to stand outside the chessboard. People like Senior Jiang, Yu Liushan, and even the head of Jiuzha Mountain were far inferior to Ancestor Xiang! The battle of Yuanying, the meaning of the Great Dao was crisscrossed, and all I could see and understand was duckweed on the water, not knowing the situation under the water. But in my opinion, Ancestor Xiang could easily win against three or more people alone! People say that he is the number one person under the God of Transformation, and it is true."

"Ancestor Xiang is indeed a towering figure." Lin Bai sighed.

"Ancestor Xiang is only one step away from reaching the top, but he didn't bow down to Shoutian Pavilion to ask for the blessed land, but forced Jiuzha Mountain to join in. Although he acts in a domineering way, his heart of seeking the Tao is a role model for our generation!"

Bi Huanqiu stared at Lin Bai and said, "You are in Qiaoshan, you should take Ancestor Xiang as an example, don't think about the man and woman all day long!"

Lin Bai benefited a lot from listening to the lesson, and said, "Then I leave?"

Bi Huanqiu was stunned, took a deep breath, and said, "Help me practice first!"

After helping for three days, Lin Bai was able to get away.

He found Jing Situi to say goodbye, but was pulled by him to drink at night.

"Are you going back to Qiaoshan, or Daoyin Sect?" Jing Situi asked with a smile.

"I don't need to worry about Qiaoshan. I'm meditating in Daoyin Sect." Lin Bai said.

Jing Situi nodded slightly and asked in a low voice: "Ancestor Xiang is not on the front line, are you staying at the Xianqiao Blessed Land?"

"I don't know either." Lin Bai was an honest man and really didn't know. But when he saw Jing Si's hesitant face, he asked, "Senior brother, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Jing Si Tui pondered for a long time and said: "You and Huan Qiu have shared life and death, and we are not outsiders. You also know the situation in our sect. Elder Sima, Elder Wu and Elder Lu are pulling things behind each other. Elder Qin and I have a hard time dealing with it. But Brother Yu I barely have some respect for others, and I have the deepest friendship with my peers..."

When he said this, he remained silent for a long time, waved his hand to impose a ban, and then said: "I heard a few rumors, it seems that there are people from the Sky Pavilion in my mountain."

This was as expected by Lin Bai. As Shoutian Pavilion defended its home, there would definitely be people coming and going outside, wandering among the Nascent Soul sects. Either to instigate rebellion, or to support, or to sabotage Qiaoshan's conspiracy plan, in any case, they are just causing trouble for Qiaoshan.

"What do you mean, senior brother?" Lin Bai asked.

"The bridge mountain is empty, so we have to be careful." Jing Sihui's master, Taoist Lihuo, has gone to the front line. He can't retreat at all, and now he can only hope to win.

"The old people of Zhou Huishan are still standing still, and the various sects and clans along the road are also sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai." Lin Bai smiled disdainfully, "Those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm are foxes with thousands of years of experience! It is normal to bet on both ends!"

Speaking of this, Lin Bai looked at Jing Sihui and smiled: "Brother Jing, don't worry, these people are mediocre and short-sighted. They do great things but cherish their lives. They don't have the courage and courage to take care of the ancestors. The battle ahead is undecided. These people People will never dare to end up, and even have to befriend me, Qiaoshan! Looking at the past behavior of the ancestors, they must have been prepared. If these people dare to make any changes, the story of Lu Haike and Yu Liushan will be a precedent!"

"Yes, no one dares to touch Qiaoshan while Ancestor Xiang is here." Jing Sihui pondered for a moment, as if recalling the power of Ancestor Xiang, and then continued: "Always be on guard against one or two. There are mediocre people, But if Shouting Pavilion promises huge profits, there will always be those who are bold enough to do so."

Lin Bai agreed.

The two drank until dawn, and after lingering for more than a month, Lin Bai returned to Daoyin Sect.

Seeing that the two disciples were in seclusion, Lin Bai came to Eternal Mountain to find Dugu Hao.

After experiencing Jiuzhe Mountain and his party, although Lin Bai was still very confident in the Northern Expedition, he was aware of the hidden troubles and needed weapons.

Dugu Hao has been busy for half a year and has finished building all the flying knives. A total of two hundred and sixteen handles, just like before.

After careful inspection, I saw that the workmanship was excellent and the materials used were solid. It must have cost a lot of Qingxian fine iron, and Lin Bai felt even more sorry.

Thinking about how Dugu Hao made flying knives twice. Although he was a gold elixir refiner, even though his family was wealthy, it still cost a lot of money. Lin Bai wanted to make some compensation. After all, just focusing on a sheep was not an option. .

"Brother, there is no need to be polite." Dugu Hao looked even older. Maybe it took a lot of energy to refine this batch of flying knives, and he was even more tired. "I have been in Eternal Mountain for five hundred years, and I have witnessed wars here from all directions. The situation finally merged into one faction, and I had no other thoughts in my mind. I heard from my brother that the flying knife I refined was destroyed by the hands of Yuanying of Shouting Pavilion. Hahaha, how lucky I am now! This batch of flying knives is probably the last thing I will refine during my lifetime. I only hope that I can travel around and try my Nascent Soul skills again!"

"As it should be!" Lin Bai said.

Dugu Hao said no more, let alone Dugu Jing and Dugu Yan.

After taking the flying knife, Lin Bai returned to Lufan Mountain. Just as he was planning to take Dugu Jing back to Qiaoshan to have a look, someone else came to visit, and he was an acquaintance.

Meng Yuan actually came with Qu Ruyi, who didn't come to Lin Bai but went directly to talk to Pei Ning.

"Huang Ruhua came to our Yunxia Sect and begged grandpa to tell grandma. Finally, with the help of Fairy Shen Yu, Ruyi was released. However, Jingxian was locked up again and was not allowed to go out." Meng Yuan had already Jiedan still looks like a senior sister, very cheerful.

"Qu Ruyi acted unprovoked, so she should be put in solitary confinement. But Jingxian is quiet and gentle, why should she be put in solitary confinement?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Your Journey to the North is selling well in our Yunxia Sect..." Meng Yuan chuckled, "Everyone admires your ability and knowledge, but... hehe..."

She looked at Lin Bai with a strange smile.

Lin Bai knew that his reputation had been ruined, and he felt very sad that people were so defensive.

"I thought you would go to the front line, but I didn't expect that when I arrived at Qiaoshan, I heard fellow Taoist Gu Yao say you were here, so I came over to take a look." Meng Yuandao.

"What are your plans?" Lin Bai asked.

"The old sect master hasn't spoken yet, what can I do?" Meng Yuan shook his head, very relaxed and natural, "But you bought a lot of supplies, which made us make a fortune." She stepped forward and whispered: "Listen You said the front line is unfavorable, why don’t you go and serve Patriarch Gu?”

"..." Lin Bai rubbed his brows and felt a severe headache.

"What are you doing in Qiaoshan?" Lin Bai changed the subject.

"Shoutian Pavilion has sent people to our Yunxia Sect to lobby. Master and I will naturally go and talk to you." Meng Yuan smiled and said, "You, the Lord of Qiaoshan, are overbearing and we cannot afford to offend you."

"..." Lin Bai was speechless.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Bai heard good news. Gao Yuanyuan of the Yunxia Sect went to the front line at the invitation of Gai Chengfei of the Tianchi Sect.

This is considered normal. Some sects want to wait until the situation is clear before ending the war, but they are afraid that they will be late and will not be able to eat meat, so they will send their disciples to accompany the army as casual cultivators.

The Yunxia Sect had sent people before, but Gao Yuanyuan was a direct descendant of Yun Wujiu, so the meaning was naturally different.

The two chatted for half a day, and Qu Ruyi came over. She was also talking about how Xiuxiu and Xiaohuang were brave enough to save people, but some people just watched and said that she felt sorry for her apprentice in vain.

Lin Bai gave her a few bottles of elixir and Shoutian Pavilion's specialty wine. Qu Ruyi then praised her happily, saying that he was brave enough to go north alone, and he was really a role model for our generation.

After chatting with the two of them for a while, Lin Bai couldn't stand Qu Ruyi's indirect questions about the Nascent Soul, so he said goodbye.

He went to find Mo Yingcheng and urged for the supply of materials, and then took Dugu Jing to Qiaoshan.

First, he went to Fengming Mountain for a walk and asked about the recent situation in the mountain.

Zhu Jianyang and Zhu Yushu followed the army to the north, and now Fengming Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Tian Wanjun.

"Everything is fine, and Gu Fang is taking good care of it. There is no news from the front line, and there is no news from my mother's family." Tian Wanjun said.

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Lin Bai went to Jiangjia Yuhu again.

Passing by Xinyifang, he saw that there were few people here. There were less than 80% of the independent cultivators who used to walk here, and many shops only bought goods and did not take out.

Moreover, most of these independent cultivators were independent traders, traveling to various places to make a profit, which was considered a small fortune due to the war.

"The ancestor sent a message, saying that if you have nothing to do, go to the front line to help." After a good time, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to remember this.

"On the front line, you just need to devote yourself to the battlefield, follow orders, and fight hard, but there are more things to consider in the rear." Lin Bai shook his head with reason, "I am in the rear, so I naturally know that the rear is the most important place, how can I leave without permission?"

"Alas." Jiang Xiaobai sighed, "It's a pity that Xiaoyuer didn't learn your thick skin, but learned some shady and harmful skills from Miaomiao!"

"..."Lin Bai felt uncomfortable when he saw that she scolded the three masters and apprentices with one sentence, and immediately pulled away.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai quickly stopped him again, and apologized before letting Lin Bai stay.

"The ancestor also sent a message saying that it might be difficult to achieve success for a while, and that we might have to continue to send people to the front, so I should make more preparations!"

Jiang Xiaobai talked about the Northern Expedition again, "The war in the front seems to be clear, but it is actually very unclear. Qiaoshan has been on a long expedition, and the battle line is too long. Although there are aids along the way, there are also many people with ulterior motives. Although Shoutian Pavilion is under pressure from the army, it has the foundation of the Huashen Sect. As long as there are no major mistakes, it can hold on."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaobai became more serious and continued: "And Shoutian Pavilion has Qiaoshan is wasting time in Zhouhuishan. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Qiaoshan. There are many people who want to see our Qiaoshan defeated. When the time comes, Shoutian Pavilion will promise us huge benefits, form alliances, or even directly promise Qiaoshan to Zhouhuishan’s old people. Then we will be trapped. "

"It makes sense!" Lin Bai agreed with Jiang Yatou's opinion, "But you still underestimate the ancestor. In my opinion, this is something he has been planning for a long time, and there is still a backhand. Although the Northern Expedition has suffered a small defeat, but..."

"But what?" Jiang Xiaobai said.

"Maybe the serious injury of Senior Du of Jiuzhashan was caused by the internal struggle of your ancestors, forcing Senior Lihuo to go to the front line..." Lin Bai muttered.

"..." Jiang Xiaobai wanted to refute, but when he thought of the old things in Yuliu Mountain, he nodded, "It's really possible."

The two of them couldn't discuss anything, and they studied the method of dual cultivation for a long time. Then Lin Bai went to Qiaoshan.

"Brother, you're just in time!" Cheng Keshui conscripted him as soon as he arrived. "The cargo ship ahead has been attacked repeatedly. I was thinking hard about who can escort it, and you came!"

"..." Lin Bai was speechless for a moment. (End of this chapter)
