The Wheel-Turning Master
Chapter 335: Capturing the Thief
Cheng Keshui saw Lin Bai's face looking troubled and immediately explained.
It turned out that the Northern Expedition was too far away and the supply route was too long. Moreover, it was not only transited in Qiaoshan, but also needed to collect supplies from various factions along the route.
Originally, Qiaoshan had negotiated with various factions along the way to maintain the safety of the material route, but the road was too far and there were always things that could not be taken into consideration.
Some daring desperadoes first tried to test, then asked for tolls, and then dared to steal openly and covertly.
The Nascent Soul ahead was inseparable for a while, and the sects along the way were only willing to provide supplies. It was considered good to be able to send them one way, but there was no way to escort them all the way.
For Prime Minister Cheng Keshui's rear affairs, he could only ask Jin Dan, who was left behind in Tiaomen, to escort him out.
"Brother, I know you just came back from the north last time. Senior Gu specially left you behind to let you rest and to prevent gossip. But the supplies going north are related to the Northern Expedition and the prosperity of our Qiaoshan. You are indispensable! "Cheng Keshui spoke sincerely.
"Is... idle chatter?" Lin Bai was a little confused.
"Hey, brother," Cheng Keshui grabbed Lin Bai's hand and said sincerely: "It's already at this point, so you don't have to worry about so many things. When we recover Zhouhui Mountain, my dear brother will surely have a good place. With his qualifications, He Caiqing will definitely be able to prove the Nascent Soul, and who will dare to talk nonsense then?"
"..." Lin Bai finally understood what Cheng Keshui meant.
It’s just that I haven’t eaten any meat yet, so everyone thinks I’m full. How can I explain this?
Lin Bai sighed, not knowing how to argue.
"I know you are in trouble, brother, but there is really nothing we can do." Cheng Keshui sighed, "I asked Yuan Li to go too, but he was too stupid to do anything, so he was sent to sit back and wait. Later, the Shang family and the Huaqing faction were invited If you leave, you can only protect it for a while.”
"I understand." Lin Bai smiled, "Behind Jie Dao's people is Shoutian Pavilion, right?"
"That's right." When Cheng Keshui saw Lin Bai coming up, he smiled bitterly and said: "Although the factions along the way are not enemies of us, they don't want to conflict with Shouting Pavilion. People who robbed our food road come and go like the wind. If they can fight, they will fight. If they see that there are many of us, they will harass us along the way. Even if we trace it afterwards, there is no trace. It must have been collected and hidden by the big sects along the way. However, Yuan Li escorted us a while ago. Xia He is among them. You have a brother-killing feud with her, so she might take action against you."
"In the final analysis, the front line still lacks a big victory." Lin Bai has been to the north and knows those goods. "Although those sects have supported us with supplies, they are still on the sidelines and want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. As long as we If we win a big victory, they will be honest. If we lose a lot, those people will show their fangs and eat us up!"
"That's right!" Cheng Keshui nodded in agreement.
"They underestimated you and me, Senior Jiang, and Ancestor Xiang!" Lin Bai said.
"Then, dear brother, would you like to go away?" Cheng Keshui didn't look like a general manager, but like an ordinary steward. He held Lin Bai's sleeve and advised in a low voice: "The Northern Expedition army has been gone for almost a year. Now, Senior Gu doesn’t have you by his side to take care of you..."
How difficult is it to force the dignified head of Qiaoshan's general affairs into such an undignified look? Lin Bai helplessly held his forehead and said, "I'll go see Gu Yao first."
"Make up your mind earlier!" Cheng Keshui's anxious forehead was sweating.
Lin Bai held back his headache and approached Gu Yao.
"There is a letter from the front, asking me to be prepared to go there." Gu Yao was open-minded, "How can I stay behind with all my skills? It's time to serve!"
"Me too." Seeing that Gu Yao was like this, Lin Bai could only follow and asked: "What other news has come from the ancestor?"
"That's not true." Gu Yao shook her head, stared into Lin Bai's eyes, and said, "Feixue sent a letter from the front line to ask how you are doing."
Gu Feixue has slowly caught up with the country in the past few years, but it is still much slower. Moreover, she is a sword cultivator. As soon as she heard about the Northern Expedition, she insisted on following it.
The two talked for a while and agreed on the itinerary. Lin Bai went to find Yang Huan again.
"Yang Shu went to the front again just after his realm was stable. I couldn't persuade him to stop him." Yang Huan sighed, "Yingqiu insisted on following, but Yang Shu refused to let him go, so he made trouble with me."
"I will go north soon." Lin Bai told Cheng Keshui's request.
"No one can escape from the battle between the Nascent Soul Sect, and neither side dares to spare any effort." Yang Huan was open-minded, "It won't be long before I have to go too."
The two talked for a while, and both felt that the road ahead was difficult, so they felt particularly harmonious.
After asking around, Lin Bai approached Cheng Keshui and said, "In this critical time of life and death, how can I not do my best?"
Cheng Keshui was so moved that he held on to Lin Bai and refused to let go, "It's only when you become a family that you realize how difficult it is to be a family. I first saved Yuan Li, and then rescued Brother Yu. From now on... my Shuang'er is also on the front line. You already have old friends, but you also want to Lots of coming and going.”
"Old Ancestor Gu is very strict," Lin Bai said.
"That's right..." Cheng Keshui became more awake and said with an embarrassed smile: "I've been too busy lately. Dear brother, please go back and wait for a while. We will develop it soon."
After returning to Chunhui Hall, Lin Bai called Dugu Jing to his side and talked about going north.
"I would like to go north with you, sir!" Dugu Jing said without hesitation at all.
Lin Bai tried to persuade her a few more times. Seeing that the girl was determined, he said, "The front line is dangerous and I can't protect you all the time. There may be a serious danger of life or death. Do you really want to go?"
Dugu Jing immediately said: "Sir, since you dare to walk alone in Shoutian Pavilion, I should imitate you! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you pursue the great road?"
"Okay!" Lin Bai praised, finally settling the matter.
Everything is ready, just waiting for departure.
Lin Bai thought about it again, closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.
But I saw a wisp of green, and the white color of the moon became more and more abundant.
With a slight thought in my mind, the place turned into the shape of Chunhui Hall, the mist spread through a small gap, and the white color of the moon slowly poured in.
This was the intention of summoning Xiuxiu. Lin Bai wanted to have a chat with the fox before leaving, and asked the fox whether he was secretly involved in Ancestor Xiang's plan.
Of course, the most important thing I miss Xiuxiu is that I don’t know if Fox is willing to send Xiuxiu here...
"The fairy has a villain's heart and misunderstood me too much. I'm afraid she doesn't dare to let me see Xiuxiu easily." Lin Bai lamented.
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Lin Bai closed his eyes and practiced, running the longevity creation formula.
This technique is derived from the Taoist Master Wuxiang, who understands the changes of time and space, knows the alternation of time and space, and has endless wonderful methods.
With in-depth practice, the spiritual power surges in the body, and the golden elixir becomes more crystal clear and pure, but it seems to encompass all things. As the sky moves around, you will feel like the stars are hanging upside down, as if you are entering the long river of time.
There is light shining through the cracks in the stone plate, and the mist changes in an unpredictable way, like a river of stars falling on the long river of time.
Now at the second level of Hunyuan, it is difficult for anyone at the same level to be seriously injured. Although his cultivation is only at the second level of Jindan, he possesses all kinds of unique skills, and even three or four of the same level are no match for him.
Ever since he came back from Shoutian Pavilion, Lin Bai devoted himself to cultivation. The changes in the world that the Immortal Creation Secret has brought to the world are consistent with Lin Bai's life experience. Although his own qualifications are somewhat inferior, he has made great progress with each passing day.
Lin Bai estimated that with all his efforts and the stone plate as a support, if there were no obstacles, he would be able to make further progress within two years. If there are more adventures or insights, it may be faster.
This is already extremely fast among monks of the same level.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already three days later.
"I'm really working hard." A lazy voice sounded beside him.
I saw a green-skinned fox lying on its side, with its eyes closed and listless, as if it was confinement.
"Fairy." Lin Bai hurried forward, knelt down and held the fox in his arms, "Has the old injury of the fairy been healed?"
"Thank you for your love." The fox said.
Why doesn't he look like a highly cultivated Nascent Soul? Lin Bai pretended not to hear the sarcasm, but said seriously: "What are you talking about, fairy? We are a family. I only hope that the fairy will enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as heaven."
"What's the matter?" The fox didn't take this at all, still closing his eyes and speaking lazily.
"I'm going to the front line, why should the fairy teach me?" Lin Bai said.
The fox was silent for a while, then waved his tail and said, "As long as the God of Shoutian Pavilion doesn't come, they will definitely lose."
"I would like to hear the fairy's greetings." Lin Bai hugged the fox and felt warm. He couldn't help but squeeze the fox's belly.
"What Lao Xiang wants to do will definitely come true," said the fox.
This is exactly what Lin Bai thought. Xiang Laozu is too high and everyone has too much confidence in him.
"How long will it take?" Lin Bai asked.
"Within three to five years," said the fox.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Bai asked.
"The ten-thousand-year black ice chalcedony that I finally borrowed was borrowed by Lao Xiang. He wanted to increase the profit by one cent, so he needs to use it for his own use, which can take as short as two or three years and as long as four or five years." The fox finally opened his eyes, "The Shouting Pavilion will be destroyed by then, and he will be able to climb Longevity Mountain immediately."
I see! Lin Baiben was still puzzled that his ancestor was missing. It turned out that the things the fox had stolen so hard had been intercepted by someone else! It’s just that with the fox’s temperament that he doesn’t suffer any loss, I don’t know what I can give to my ancestor in exchange for it!
"Is the fairy willing to give in?" Lin Bai waved his sleeves and released the mist, asking in a low voice.
"Lao Xiang said, what can I do? I'm just a wild fox in the forest who can't even do anything to prevent his daughter from sleeping with someone else," the fox said.
As soon as Lin Bai heard this, he knew that despite the misfortune of the fox, he must have benefited greatly.
"Then what will happen to fairies in the future without this thing?" Lin Bai asked with concern.
"Alas." The fox sighed, "Xiuxiu made a divination, saying that my auspicious stars are shining brightly, and with the support of noble people, I can achieve things without external objects."
"Xiuxiu hasn't formed the elixir yet, is her calculation accurate?" Lin Bai either didn't believe Xiuxiu, or he was afraid that the girl would blindly comfort the fox.
"Xiuxiu, with my help, is much better than a little turtle in asking questions based on her destiny!" The fox was unhappy when he heard this. He glared at Lin Bai angrily, and continued: "Besides, she and I As a human being, if you ask me about my bad luck, you are asking about her bad luck. This is your destiny!"
"That's right." Seeing that the fox was angry, Lin Bai followed her words.
"Alas." The fox sighed again, "From my point of view, my noble man must be my master. He introduced me to Taoism back then and taught me the principles of escape. In the future, I have to find a way to find him."
"Brother Li travels..." Lin Bai saw the fox glaring over and immediately changed his words, "My respected master has traveled all over the world, his realm is unfathomable, and he has an old relationship with Taoist Wuxiang, so he must be a highly cultivated and powerful person. I believe that the fairy will come to survive the tribulation one day. When he transforms into a god, he will definitely come forward to help.”
"Thank you for your good advice," said the fox.
Lin Bai saw that the fox was still angry, so he scratched her belly in a flattering way.
The fox's tail twitched and threw out a letter, "Send love from thousands of miles away."
"..." Lin Bai pretended not to understand. He took Xiu Xiu's letter and tore it open to read. The fox also came over. Seeing Lin Bai's confused look, she explained, "I promised her not to peek. "
But no, it’s not a peek now!
The letter didn't say anything important. It first asked Lin Bai how he was, and then said that Qu Ruyi had gone to Daoyin Sect and asked Duoduo to take care of him. She also said that the fairy had been recovering from an injury recently and her mouth was often dirty, so she had to coax her for a long time.
After the fox read it, he sneered a few times and said nothing.
Lin Bai put the letter away, and when he saw the fox wagging its tail and about to leave, he quickly grabbed it.
"Fairy, life is nothing but fame and fortune, please don't ruin my reputation anymore." Lin Bai said pitifully.
The fox snorted twice, turned around and transformed, wearing a thin green gauze, and looked at Lin Bai with a smile, saying, "You still know how to be afraid?"
"Is it possible that I am not afraid of making rumors about a high-level Yuanying cultivator?" Lin Bai was miserable, and hurried forward to gently massage Li Chenyu's shoulders.
Looking at her profile, she is really a beauty. Not to mention a legal wife, if the mistress of a country in the mortal world does not look like her, then it must be a bad choice! She doesn't look like a fox, but rich and majestic, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
It's a pity that she has a big mouth.
"Don't send messages to Xiuxiu anymore in the future, so that she won't bother me all day long!"
After saying that, she let Lin Bai pull her, but she still turned into green light and disappeared.
"Why do you come again, my beautiful lady?"
After muttering for a while, a stream of spiritual power came in from outside.
After opening the door, Dugu Jing stepped forward and leaned over, "Sir, Master Cheng sent someone to invite you."
Knowing that it was time to set off, Lin Bai wrapped up Dugu Jing and went to find Cheng Keshui.
While Cheng Keshui was nagging, he took Lin Bai westward to Xinyifang.
Qiaoshan collected a large number of supplies, most of which were gathered in Xinyifang, and then they were ready to set off.
The people in charge of the cargo ship transportation were Tian Guiqin of the Tian family and Chun Yutao of the Chunyu family. These two families were from the Gu and Yang families respectively. Although there have been many robberies recently, this is actually a good job and an extra care from the Gu and Yang families.
These two families have a history with Lin Bai. They have been on the battlefield with the Tian family and rented a cave in the Chunyu family.
This time, there are a total of 17 cargo flying boats, more than ten foundation-building people, and hundreds of Qi training monks.
There are also spirit beasts accompanying them to go back and forth to explore.
The three golden pills chatted and talked about the war on the front line. After talking for a long time, they became more and more worried, so they dispersed in a depressed mood.
They headed north, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, collecting supplies along the way and handing over to various sects.
In a hurry for half a month, they first went to Tianhuo City to buy some things, then passed by Hehuan Sect, and arrived at Wuque Mountain peacefully.
Lin Bai had been here before. Lei Zaixiao, the head of Wuque Mountain, did not see guests, so it was Wang Yueying who received them.
"Junior brother's name is so powerful that I admire you so much!" Wang Yueying had a strange expression on her face.
"How can you compare to my senior sister?" Lin Bai was humble.
Seeing this, Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao thought that Lin Bai and Wang Yueying had a friendship. They didn't say anything and just let Lin Bai talk.
Lin Bai talked a few nonsense words with Wang Yueying and talked about supplies again.
Wang Yueying shirked the fact that Wuque Mountain was barren, but she couldn't stand Lin Bai's hard grinding, and finally produced some healing pills.
Lin Bai was still not satisfied, and said that Qiaoshan was an old friend of Zhou Huishan, but Wang Yueying was not persuaded no matter how hard he tried. When he wanted to see Lei Zaixiao again, he refused and said that he was in seclusion.
"It's sad and lamentable. Why are my Qiaoshan men fighting on the front line? Isn't it for you Zhou Huishan wanderers, isn't it just for justice? But you didn't send any more people, and you didn't even send more supplies!"
Lin Bai was so angry that he scolded in the main hall of Wuque Mountain.
When the people of Wuque Mountain heard this, some were ashamed, some were extremely angry, and some were too embarrassed to look at it, so they ran out with their faces covered.
"You Qiaoshan went to Wanshou Mountain, so why did you hinder Wuque Mountain? The heart of your ancestor is known to everyone in the world!" Wang Yueying was also angry.
"I pity their misfortune and am angry at their lack of resistance! Senior Lei had asked my ancestor Jiang to mend the mess and my Qiaoshan to uphold justice. Now my Qiaoshan has stood up, but some people have no courage at all. It's really shameful! The spirit of the Huashen Sect back then is gone! If the Yaoguang Ancestor knew, he would probably sigh that the descendants are not worthy!" Lin Bai looked up at the sky, with contempt and pity.
The Wuqueshanmen were trembling with anger, and immediately took out their magic weapons to fight with Lin Bai.
Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao quickly stood in the middle and tried to persuade Lin Bai again.
"Senior sister, senior brother." Lin Bai put his hands behind his back, "Supplies can't be delayed, you two go first! I'll be waiting at Wuqueshan. If they don't send people or make efforts, I'll sit here and see who will be embarrassed!"
Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao persuaded for a long time, but Lin Bai just didn't respond.
There was no other way, so they dragged it out for three days. Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao dared not wait any longer, and apologized to Wang Yueying, and then set off first.
Lin Bai was not idle either. After a day of arguing with Wang Yueying, Wang Yueying went into seclusion.
He then found other Jindan masters of the same level, but they either went into seclusion or closed their doors.
After five or six days, they did not achieve any success, but made Wuque Mountain a mess, and everyone hated them.
Lin Bai had no choice but to find the foundation-building master Qingyu whom he had met at the beginning.
"The ancestors and the uncles and uncles have naturally considered a lot for the sake of survival, so please don't blame me. Although I am weak, I am willing to follow you to the front line to kill the enemy!" Master Qingyu was actually a little bit angry.
"Good, good!" Lin Bai clapped his hands and praised.
Over there, Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao were escorting the cargo ship in front, and they did not encounter any danger on the way.
Ten days had passed and they were almost at Yubi Mountain. Seeing that Lin Bai had not caught up yet, Chun Yutao went to Tian Guiqin to discuss.
"Junior Brother Zhuanlun has a good heart, but he is a little stubborn. He was willing to take risks for my family before, and now he is staying in Wuque Mountain. Alas, it is no wonder that Grandmaster Gu favors him with such courage." Tian Guiqin sighed.
"Maybe Junior Brother Zhuanlun has other reasons." Chun Yutao pondered for a while and whispered: "My nephew Chun Yutong has an old relationship with him and knows him well. You also know the reputation of Junior Brother Zhuanlun. Wang Yueying is good-looking, and Junior Brother Zhuanlun..."
"Impossible!" Tian Guiqin had received Lin Bai's favor, and immediately waved her hand to defend herself, saying: "I have always known Lin Zhuanlun. The slight stigma is just the ignorance of the world and jealousy of talents! My family sent him several children, all young and beautiful, but he rejected them all, which shows that people hate him when he is famous!"
"That's not necessarily true." Chun Yutao also made sense, "Let's not talk about the recent rumors. I have a child who is also very smart. Lin Zhuanlun seduced her repeatedly before he established his foundation. Now that my child has established his foundation, he still talks about Lin Zhuanlun all day long. Outsiders say that this boy has a way to seduce women. I think this is true."
Tian Guiqin couldn't refute it for a while.
The two were staring blankly, and a light of escape came from outside.
Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao looked over and saw Lin Bai standing at the bow, with a girl beside him, and another person lying on the ground, obviously seriously injured.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Bai frowned and looked at the two.
"Of course, it's about the war ahead." Chun Yutong stepped forward and saw the seriously injured man with disheveled hair, gnashing teeth, disheveled clothes, and a bloody hole in his abdomen. "Isn't this Xia He from Shoutian Pavilion?"
"She was the one who harassed our cargo ship along the way and was captured by me!" Lin Bai sneered, "This person wanted to use the formation to defeat me halfway, but he didn't know that the formation was just a leisurely stroll for me; the few bribed friends were even more vulnerable, which was ridiculous!"
Xia He gritted her teeth and lay on the ground, but still forced to glare at Lin Bai, as if she wanted to choose someone to bite.
Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao looked at each other and understood that what Lin Bai had done before was to seduce Xia He with hatred, so that he could capture this beast in one fell swoop.
And he actually brought back a person from Wuque Mountain, which was also a success.
However, Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao looked at Lin Bai with admiration for him because he was captured so easily, and thought that Gu Laozu's vision was really good. (End of this chapter)
