The Wheel-Turning Master

Heading north, we passed Yubi Mountain and Yinshan Mountain.

Although the journey was long, there were no more scoundrels causing trouble. Especially after Yubi Mountain and Yinshan Mountain knew that Xia He was captured, they all honestly provided supplies, which saved a lot of trouble.

More than a thousand miles further north, someone came to greet them.

"Did you find out anything?" Zhu Jianyang saw that Xia He's clothes were messy and she looked like she was waiting to die with her eyes closed, so he couldn't help but ask.

"What do you want to ask, brother Zhu?" Chunyu Tao asked with a smile.

"She harassed cargo ships along the way, coming and going like the wind, so she must have accomplices." Zhu Jianyang said.

"That's a lot of confessions." Chunyu Tong laughed, "All the sects along the way, any well-known ones, are in collusion with her. We also have a traitor, not only your family, but also mine! But when we came here, we explained it to all the sects. It's just this beast biting, so it can't be confirmed."

Zhu Jianyang also laughed.

"Is the ancestor okay?" Lin Bai asked with concern.

As soon as this question was asked, Chunyu Tao and Tian Guiqin looked at Lin Bai at the same time.

Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The ancestor is fine."

"How is the situation ahead?" Tian Guiqin asked.

"You'll know when you get there. Seeing is worse than hearing." Zhu Jianyang didn't want to say more.

Half a month later, the cargo ship arrived at the boundary of Zhouhui Mountain. Along the way, patrolling monks can be seen coming and going, including people from Qiaoshan and Jiuzha Mountain.

The monks of Shoutian Pavilion huddled near Wanshou Mountain and Heifeng Mountain. Many mortals had no time to move away and had long accepted their fate. They didn't care about the fighting and killing of you monks. They should farm the land and have children.

Qiaoshan and Jiuzha Mountain are large sects after all. They pay attention to face in their actions. They only sent low-level monks to restrain the mortals and prevent them from causing trouble, but did not kill them.

Continuing forward, there were more monks coming and going, and there was no war, as if nothing happened here.

After wandering around for three or four days, we can see Wanshou Mountain from afar.

The monks of Shoutian Pavilion rely on the seventh-level blessed land of Wanshou Mountain. The protective formation is activated, and Wanshou Mountain and the surrounding dozens of miles seem to be sealed in ice and frost.

Looking from afar, it feels like an ice-covered world. The cold wind blows, as if you are in a snow country.

Leaving the disciples to hand over the supplies, the group took Xia He and went to find the two ancestors.

This time, Qiaoshan made great efforts to besiege Wanshou Mountain. Not only did all the monks go out, but also many casual cultivators were recruited.

Gu Qingshui and the ancestor of the Yang family are stationed in Songhe Mountain, the front line. This place is located fifty miles away from the protective formation of Wanshou Mountain. A thousand miles behind is the Black Wind Mountain and the Yanshou Peak where the Taoist Lihuo is stationed.

The central army led by Jiang Xingchi also joined Jiuzha Mountain in the area of ​​Yanshou Peak.

The five parties are roughly in a line, each with a formation as a basis. Songhe Mountain and Yanshou Peak are in the middle, and Wanshou Mountain and Heifeng Mountain are on both sides.

I don’t know who decided the station, anyway, Qiaoshan and Jiuzha Mountain are back to back, which can be regarded as cutting off the pincer movement of Wanshou Mountain and Heifeng Mountain; and Wanshou Mountain and Heifeng Mountain are on both sides, which seems to have sandwiched the Qiaoshan and Jiuzha Mountain alliance.

It’s like a joke.

“Our station is more than 50 miles away from them. Most of them are young people. The fight is not fierce. No one fought desperately. It was just a while ago that the Black Wind Mountain was a bit big. Xia Yufeng lured the enemy deep into the depths. I heard that there was also a relic of the God of Transformation, which severely injured Senior Du.” Zhu Jianyang asked Tian Guiqin and Chun Yutao to go ahead, and he took Lin Bai, while explaining the arrangements here, and went to Songhe Mountain.

“What about us?” Lin Bai asked.

"We are very restrained here." Zhu Jianyang chuckled, "Maybe he wants to defeat Xia Yufeng of Black Wind Mountain first, and then defeat Senior Kong of Wanshou Mountain. We have a fight from time to time, mostly with foundation building, occasionally Jindan, and sometimes the two Yuanying come out to curse."

"Curse?" Lin Bai was shocked.

"Yes." Zhu Jianyang looked into Lin Bai's eyes and whispered: "The Northern Wilderness is indeed a barbarian, and the variety of cursing is not very good, far behind us. But that Zou Mi kept cursing at Gu Patriarch... Alas, a dignified Yuanying high cultivator, but like an ordinary scoundrel, only looking for the three ways to curse, it's not decent."

"..." Lin Bai seemed to understand a little.

"Brother," Zhu Jianyang pulled Lin Bai's sleeve, glanced at Dugu Jing and Shi Qingyu, and then transmitted his voice: "Ancestor Gu has been very angry recently. If it weren't for Ancestor Yang and Ancestor Jiang's persuasion, they would have fought long ago. You have to be careful to persuade him, don't fall into his provocation."

"..." Lin Bai nodded blankly.

Soon, the group arrived at Songhe Mountain.

Surrounding this mountain, there were many cultivators in front and behind, with battle formations, obviously ready to fight at any time.

There were many old acquaintances here, and they all greeted and saluted when they saw Lin Bai, but their eyes were a little strange.

Climbing to the top of Songhe Mountain and standing here, you will face Wanshou Mountain, which is really the front line of the front line.

There is a simple hall, and I don't know whether it was built by Zhou Huishan or Shoutian Pavilion.

When the group entered the hall, they saw the ancestor of the Yang family and Gu Qingshui sitting, with Gu Jiuzhong and Yang Shaoan beside them.

After paying respects, Patriarch Yang briefly asked about the affairs of Qiaoshan. After hearing that Xia He was arrested, he asked Gu Jiuzhong and Yang Shaoan to deal with her, but did not assign any tasks to Lin Bai.

Gu Qingshui kept his eyes closed and did not say a word.

Lin Bai did not dare to flatter him. When he left, he was stopped by Gu Jiuzhong and Yang Shaoan.

The three of them interrogated Xia He for a while and then put her in jail.

"You came at the right time. Please help persuade her." Gu Jiuzhong was very worried. "Under this situation, we can't let anything go wrong."

"When Brother Zhuanlun comes, your Patriarch will naturally be happy." Yang Shaoan smiled.

"Yang Shaoan!" Gu Jiuzhong immediately became angry, pointed at Yang Shaoan's nose, and yelled: "My ancestor is innocent. As the person in charge of the Yang family, you are spreading rumors. Do you believe it or not? I will file a lawsuit against your ancestor." Ancestor?”

Yang Shaoan quickly apologized, Gu Jiuzhong also stopped his anger, and the two of them started talking and laughing again.

Lin Bai felt a headache from seeing this, and felt that the Gu and Yang families were both unreliable.

Patriarch Gu did not summon him, and I don’t know whether it was to avoid suspicion or for other reasons. Instead, Yang Shu came to find him, so Lin Bai asked Yang Shu to lead the way and first took a look at the layout of Songhe Mountain.

"Feixue is there." Yang Shu came to a camp and pointed to it from a distance, "She is currently following Li Shouyan of the Huaqing faction. They had a confrontation a few days ago and seriously injured a Shouting Pavilion foundation."

At this point, Yang Shu winked and said, "The same one who beat Miaomiao until she cried in our hometown before. She is now worried about you and your apprentice!"

"Although Miaomiao lost, she didn't cry!" Lin Bai immediately rectified his apprentice's name.

"Yeah."

The two of them chatted and went forward to meet Li Shouyan of the Huaqing faction.

The Huaqing sect has always been a force of the Gu family and was very familiar with Lin Bai. He immediately grabbed Lin Bai and Yang Shu and said sadly: "Two brothers, it has been a year since we came from Qiaoshan, and there is still no news. I Naturally, these old bones are not afraid of wear and tear, but the people below are not good at it. If you delay for ten or eight years, you will delay your practice. It will be difficult to move up in the future. "

"The superiors have their own arrangements, and I can't do anything about it." Yang Shu spread his hands and looked like a rogue.

"But there is a shortage of supplies?" Lin Bai asked.

"Exactly."

Li Shouyan suffered miserably, "Although there was no big fight, the small fights never stopped. The people below were injured a lot and their morale was low."

Still missing a big win!

After dealing with Li Shouyan, Lin Bai found Gu Feixue.

After chatting about what happened here, Lin Bai told her to cherish her life.

"Put this away." Lin Bai took out the homemade talisman, "It may save lives."

Gu Feixue received it in her hand, and the ice and snow beauty smiled and said: "The battle formation is dangerous, so you should be careful."

When she said this, she hesitated for a while and said: "My ancestor's magnificence is unparalleled, indeed a hundred times and a thousand times better than mine..."

"..." Lin Bai rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't believe the rumors!"

After spending five days, Yang Shu accompanied Lin Bai around Songhe Mountain and met everyone who needed to be seen.

Lin Bai finally saw something. The general strategy now should be to divide and defeat Xia Yufeng and others in the Heifeng Mountain area first. Therefore, Songhe Mountain is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, mainly to prevent the rescue of Kong Shu and others.

Of course, Songhe Mountain only has two Nascent Souls, Yang and Gu, while Wanshou Mountain has Kong Shu and two Nascent Souls of Zou Chi, so Songhe Mountain does not have an advantage.

The two sides defended each other's positions and had small fights from time to time, but never a major fight. Wanting stability in Wanshou Mountain, I just want to drag them down, but I am also afraid of setting up an ambush in Songhe Mountain. Although Yang Gu in Songhe Mountain also had a formation to protect him, he was still afraid of Kong Shu's sneak attack.

It’s true that a weak man is fighting a wolf with both ends.

There was nothing going on here, so Yang Shu and Lin Bai called Zhu Jianyang again, and the three of them drank at night.

"The formation here borrows the aura of the blessed land of Songhe Mountain, absorbs the thick soil from all directions, and leads the river into it. As long as the top of Songhe Mountain is not lost, it can prevent and trap the enemy. This formation is completely natural, it does not seem to have been created temporarily, but it is in line with the geography of this place. It matches the trend of spiritual energy here, and even matches the situation between the enemy and ourselves." Lin Bai poured wine for Yang Shu and Zhu Jianyang, "But thank you for your work?"

"Exactly." Yang Shu nodded heavily, "Senior Xie is an unparalleled genius!"

"Senior Xie is at Yanshou Peak now?" Lin Bai asked.

"I don't know." Yang Shu shook his head, "Senior Xie was with Senior Jiang when we raised the army. Later, Senior Jiang went to Yanshou Peak, but he never saw Senior Xie again."

"I heard from Comrade Jiuzheshan that after Senior Xie set up the formation in the Yanshou Peak area, he never showed his body again." Zhu Jianyangren had a broad face.

After chatting all night, the three of them didn't say anything, but they were too drunk, so they were caught by Cheng Yuanli, who was under the temporary command of the law.

The three of them were scolded and dispersed.

Two days later, Yang Shu approached Lin Bai and said he wanted to fight.

Lin Bai had heard from Yang Shu long ago that both sides were fighting, and Nascent Soul Gao Xiuqian was watching.

The battle formation is between Songhe Mountain and Wanshou Mountain. Usually, foundation-building monks appear, and occasionally Jindan appears.

When I arrived at the ground, I saw that the two sides were quite powerful, but each of them only sent ten foundations to fight in the middle of the two sides.

This doesn't look like a battle formation, but like a beating.

Scenes like this have gone on many times. There was a tacit understanding between the two sides, and only juniors were sent, with few monks dying in battle, as if they were practicing their skills.

However, the monks of Shoutian Pavilion are fierce, and Qiaoshan's side has more losses than wins.

Seeing that the twenty foundation builders were getting angry and some were about to die, the two sides unexpectedly made a tacit agreement to withdraw their troops.

This doesn't look like a battle between the Nascent Soul Sect, it's like playing house.

"Do you two dare to go up?" Lin Bai saw that nothing happened, so he looked at Dugu Jing and Shi Qingyu, wanting them to see blood.

"Dare!" the two women said immediately.

"Good!" Lin Bai was very satisfied. Just as he was about to praise him, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He felt that he was locked with a gaze, and his heart was filled with killing intent.

He raised his head and followed what he felt in his heart. He saw a person on the other side's high platform outside the battle formation. He was wearing a brown robe, and it was Zou Mi!

Lin Bai looked back and saw Patriarch Yang behind him, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Old Monster Yang, why don't you see Gu Qingshui?" The sound of shouting came and reached the ears of everyone here.

"If fellow Taoist misses you, I will lead the way." Old Ancestor Yang smiled slowly.

Zou Mi snorted coldly, looked at Lin Bai again, and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, do you still dare to come here? Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

Lin Bai was more than ten miles away from Zou Mi, but it was as if he was talking in his ear.

He couldn't lose his momentum at this time, so he immediately flew up, stood next to Patriarch Yang, and said loudly: "Senior was reluctant to kill me before, how can he be willing to kill me today?"

As soon as the ambiguous words were said, both groups were in an uproar. Even Patriarch Yang glanced at Lin Bai unconsciously, and Gu Jiuzhong and Yang Shaoan looked at each other, both feeling incredible but also admiring.

"Seeking death!" Zou Mi was indeed angered, and immediately took a step forward, and the golden ring flew out.

For a moment, the Nascent Soul's aura surged, and the pressure was endless. The low-level disciples felt helpless, and the Jindan monks also felt short of breath.

At this moment, a wisp of clear water came from the direction of Songhe Mountain, and immediately covered half of the sky. Everyone looked up at the sky, only to feel that they were falling into the deep sea.

High in the sky, the green water submerged the golden ring, and the two people were fighting inextricably.

When Lin Bai was at a loss, he saw Patriarch Yang smiling slightly, "This opportunity is rare, please take a closer look."

He raised his head and looked carefully, but he could not see Gu Qingshui and Zou Mi at all. Only the blue water covered the sky, and gold and silver lights flashed from time to time.

"The best is like water, but fellow Taoist Gu does not follow this path." When the fight was getting fierce, a corner of the Wanshou Mountain Ice Formation was lifted, and then a gray light escaped.

"Brother Kong lives on a high mountain." There were black and white light spots flashing in the distance. Then he came closer and saw Jiang Xingchi standing on the clouds. He looked at Kong Shu with a smile and said, "But I forgot that water has no permanent shape, because it has no permanent shape. The ground controls the flow.”

Kong Shu was old, hunched over and looked at Jiang Xingchi, his cloudy eyes suddenly shone with light, and then his figure moved towards the clear water in the sky, "High mountains can hang upside down, and waterfalls can also flow back!" Ignorant children, how dare they Talk about destiny! ""

Jiang Xingchi immediately followed and pulled out a chessboard in his hand.

Kong Shu immediately turned to Jiang Xingchi and pointed out.

Jiang Xingchi did not dodge, and the chessboard in his hand shone brightly.

For a time, the sky was boundless with clear water, and from time to time gold and silver swayed out, like a river hanging upside down, with sparkling waves.

Under the clear water, the shadow of the vast chessboard spread out, as if the world was being transformed into the chessboard.

The disciples on both sides felt confused, feeling that all living beings are like chess pieces, and people are also like chess pieces.

At this moment, the finger pointed towards the chessboard, like a move.

The Nascent Soul's power was so great that the disciples on the field, no matter our enemy or friend, all felt a sense of admiration and admiration, and all their magical powers seemed to have been stripped away.

In an instant, the chessboard fell into dust and the clear water disappeared.

Gu Qingshui stepped back and looked at Kong Shu with a frown, feeling very fearful.

Jiang Xingchi's face was pale and he smiled and said: "Brother Taoist and the Supreme Master of Qiaoshan have followed a similar path. If not today, I would invite my Taoist friends to come to Qiaoshan to talk about it."

Kong Shu remained silent, his rickety body looked into the distance, shook his head slightly, and turned away.

The two sides returned to a tacit understanding and each recruited people.

If panicked disciples run into the opponent's formation, they will be released.

Lin Bai followed him back to the mountain, feeling as if he had experienced a farce. (End of chapter)
