The Wheel-Turning Master

Carrying Miaomiao to Qinfangchi.

The lotus flowers in Qinfang Pond are in full bloom, the flowers are red and willows are green on the bank, and there is an attic hidden among the dense tall trees. There is a stone platform downstairs, on which a woman in gray clothes is sitting cross-legged and practicing meditation.

"Ancestor." Lin Bai stepped forward to pay homage.

Zou Mi opened his eyes and said nothing.

"Ancestor," Lin Bai leaned over and was very respectful, "This junior has been in seclusion for ten years. He has often thought about the teachings of his ancestors and has made some progress. That's why he came as soon as he came out of seclusion..."

"Miaomiao," Zou Mi interrupted. She looked at Miaomiao and said, "Didn't you tell him that I hate red tape the most, and I don't like politeness and hypocrisy? I never see such people."

"Old Ancestor!" Miaomiao looked solemn and solemn as she said, "Miaomiao naturally dare not forget the instructions of Ancestor. That's why she has told Master many times. But what Master said just now was not polite and hypocritical, but sincere and heartfelt every word. Sincere words. Master’s respect for the ancestors comes from the bottom of his heart. What I did in Hengwu Mountain was also what Master has repeatedly told me to do, saying that I should treat Hengwu Mountain as my own home and my ancestors as my relatives. Like our ancestors! How can such a loyal person be called hypocritical? "

Lin Bai suddenly discovered that this girl Miaomiao was quite pleasing to the eye.

"As expected of master and apprentice." Zou Mi smiled, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, what do you want?"

"This junior has encountered some doubts in his practice, so he came here to seek advice from the ancestor." Lin Bai was very respectful, and no longer showed any frivolity in front of Aunt Gu.

"Come on." Zou Mi said calmly.

Miao Miao was the most discerning, and immediately bowed and retreated obediently.

"Junior has been practicing hard for ten years and has made some progress. But this gourd can't be refined no matter what -" Lin Bai spread his hands and saw a gourd the size of a thumb, with black and white colors on it, forming the shape of Tai Chi Bagua, "Now this gourd is The gourd is connected to my life, it can be big or small, and it can accommodate all things. But every time I want to explore the depth, I feel like I am in a trance, so I cannot completely refine it."

Speaking of this, Lin Bai added: "This junior once went to the sandy land of Qianhe and received a share of the inheritance from the Master Wuxiang Taoist. This gourd also came from there. Presumably the mystery in the gourd is the Wuxiang Taoist. The Lord stayed here because I wanted to ask the ancestor about Wuxiang Dao Master."

"I remember Miaomiao and you Jiangyu also have gourds."

Zou Mi sat cross-legged, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, and said: "When the gourd is divided, the one in your hand should be the main one."

There was a smile on her face suddenly, and she said: "How can it be that Taoist Wuxiang left it for nothing? It is normal that it cannot be completely refined. It is just blocked by the realm."

Zou Mi glanced sideways, looked at Lin Bai with disdain, and mocked: "How can an ignorant kid pull a big cart?"

"..." Lin Bai lowered his head and said nothing, thinking to himself, why don't I ask you why you pulled it?

"Tao Master Wuxiang made his fortune in the East China Sea." Zou Mi gave instructions, "Of the seven Taoist masters in the world, Taoist Wuxiang is the latest to achieve enlightenment. It is said that Taoist Wuxiang has traveled far and wide, and has been to the Northern Wasteland, where he met Xuanyin We have friends with each other. Later, for some unknown reason, he provoked other Taoist masters and was jointly strangled. At that time, there was a big war that affected all the four regions and one state."

"The Wuxiang Dao majors in the avenue of time and space. Didn't you take precautions beforehand?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Shuangdao is naturally the symbol of a king, but after all, it is too late to become enlightened. And the people who are besieging him are by no means taking it easy." Zou Mi said in a calm voice, "Besides, how do you know that others are not prepared? That 'no' person at Wanshou Mountain People of this generation cannot be taught by Master Wuxiang? In fact, there are many people in the four regions and one state who have been taught by Master Wuxiang. Maybe you are just one of them."

After she finished speaking, she stared into Lin Bai's eyes, and then said: "You asked about Taoist Wuxiang's old stories. I guess the secrets hidden in the gourd are related to Taoist Wuxiang's past stories."

Lin Bai nodded and said: "Every time I go deep into it, it feels like falling into the long river of time, but it is not easy to see clearly, so I feel like I am in a trance."

Zou Mi thought for a while and said, "Try again."

Lin Bai responded and immediately sat down cross-legged, holding the gourd tightly in his hand and closing his eyes to feel it.

Suddenly, there was a gourd shape in the sea of ​​consciousness, in which the black and white Yin and Yang Bagua flowed slowly, making it even more strange.

The first wonderful thing discovered about this gourd is that it can accommodate all kinds of things. Even the magical knife spirit can be accommodated by flying knives without damaging the gourd.

Another strange thing is that it can incorporate offensive magical powers into it, and even the thunder tribulation can block some of its power.

You can use it as you like, it can be big or small, and there seems to be another heaven and earth in between, which can include the sun and the moon.

Feel the body of the gourd carefully, and then enter it, and you will feel that all kinds of things are stored in it, including spiritual stones, flying knives, and various kinds of elixirs and spiritual herbs.

But if you want to go deeper, it will be like falling into a river and being submerged by water.

Suddenly, he saw a beautiful mountain forest, where a man was cutting through thorns.

When he wanted to take a closer look, he couldn't find it and it had been washed away by the water.

Faintly, Lin Bai felt that the person walking in the mountains was Taoist Wuxiang, and what he saw should be the past of Taoist Wuxiang.

There is still half of the Immortal Creation Technique missing, and I think I can find one or two clues from here.

Opening his eyes, Lin Bai shook his head, indicating that he couldn't do it.

"Maybe we can only know the secret after we reach the Nascent Soul Realm." Zou Mi smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Didn't you ask your old friend?"

Good old friend? Which?

"No one is as knowledgeable as you, ancestor." Lin Bai said.

Zou Mi glanced at Lin Bai and said, "Have you forgotten about stealing treasures in the past? Maybe you can give it a try."

This is to use the power of stone plate fragments. Lin Bai naturally tried it, but with little success.

"The thing Master Xuanyin seeks may be left behind by Taoist Wuxiang." Zou Mi thought for a moment and smiled: "Taoist Wuxiang walks along the two main roads. You can go look for that coquettish fox. She is good at moving around. He has the ability to cross rivers and bridges. Those who practice fortune-telling and yin and yang are seeking to know the present and the future, which is the line of time."

"Ancestor said that we can ask Fairy and Xiuxiu to help?" Lin Bai realized, isn't this the effect of the stone plate? The long river of time is rushing, and the rivers of stars are crisscrossing, in line with the two avenues.

"Why do you think the fox picked Xiuxiu? Isn't it just that one person and one fox complement each other? Let the two of them work together to help you, maybe you can get a glimpse of the secret." Zou Mi said.

"Ancestor answered my doubts, I really don't know how to repay you!" Lin Bai leaned over and saluted, "In the future, whenever Ancestor has an assignment, I will never hesitate to give up!"

"Well, go and get the dragon scales that the fox stole back for me!" Zou Mi said.

No, are you serious? Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and said: "Ancestor, this is really impossible..."

Zou Mi sneered and waved his sleeves to chase people away.

Lin Bai bowed respectfully and was about to leave when he thought of Miaomiao. After all, he was the disciple raised by his own daughter, so she could no longer be allowed to take care of the general affairs.

Not everyone is like Mo Yingcheng and Jing Situi, who can take care of the house without delaying their spiritual practice. That girl Miaomiao is too narrow-minded and may cause big problems in the future.

"Ancestor, Hengwu Mountain has stabilized now. That girl Miaomiao is young and can't take care of many things. You might as well let her walk beside Ancestor and do some things like picking lotus and serving tea." Lin Bai begged.

"Haha, you are not upright, but you are still worried about the lower beam? You are a teacher, but you have no example, it is ridiculous." Zou Mi sneered.

After three more bows, Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally said goodbye.

Returning to Hengwushan Hall, I saw Miaomiao talking to a few people.

When everyone saw Lin Bai coming, they all saluted, but their expressions were a little weird, which reminded Lin Bai of Gu Yao.

"I have made it clear to Ancestor Zou that from now on, you will give up your affairs here and only focus on serving Ancestor Zou." Lin Bai said with a straight face.

"Yes!" Miaomiao agreed immediately.

Lin Bai stopped talking, poked Miaomiao on the forehead, and walked straight to the Peach Blossom Spring without turning around.

When I arrived at the place, I gave the tiger a lotus seed. When I entered, I saw Xiuxiu embracing the fox deep in the peach blossoms.

Neither of them were outsiders. After a few chats, Lin Bai invited Fox and Xiuxiu to help.

"I was born to work hard, so everyone has to bother me." The fox sighed and wanted to make some conditions.

Xiuxiu clamped the fox's mouth and responded on behalf of the fox.

Lin Bai took out the fragments of the stone plate, put them together, held them in his hand, and held the gourd tightly in his other hand.

Xiuxiu hugged the fox to borrow strength, and behind her was the shadow of the moon in the deep pool.

The fox's tail swung and pointed towards the stone plate.

Lin Bai closed his eyes and came to the stone plate. He saw that the stone plate was filled with vigorous energy and the mist was rolling back and forth.

The galaxy hangs upside down, there is a shadow of a long river, and a gourd shape appears in front of him.

Not long after, I felt the stone plate beneath me rotating slowly, as if time was moving and grinding away thousands of stars.

If you delve deeper into the gourd, you will find that there is another world.

I saw animals and birds singing in the mountains and forests, and a woman walking calmly here.

Not long after, I felt that the long river of time was pushing the stone plate to rotate faster and faster, obliterating many stars, and the light and shadow here began to flow very quickly.

It became increasingly unclear. I could only roughly see the woman's practice day after day, and she never interacted with outsiders.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman walked out of the forest and wandered around. Or climb the mountains, or ride the wind to the sea. No matter whether she is a layman or a monk, there seems to be no difference to her.

Later, the woman found a bluestone from nowhere, and the bluestone broke out of the cocoon and turned into a butterfly. The butterfly's wings were wide and extremely gorgeous.

Then the woman flew away on the butterfly, first soaring gracefully in the night sky, and then came to a certain place under the starry sky to play chess with a man.

Then they sat opposite each other with the old man, not knowing what to say. Later, she stepped into the snow, and the woman faced a spiritual beast that was either a rabbit or a fox.

In this way, the woman met several people one after another, and later a young man followed her, seemingly to teach her.

I don't know how long it took, but a boundless knife mark swept out, and then the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, the stars shifted, the river of time stagnated, and the woman disappeared.

The light and shadow are broken, and the long river of time has dried up. It can no longer push the stone plate to rotate, but the past has long been worn away.

Opening his eyes, the fragments of the stone plate in his hand were warm and the gourd shone brightly.

Xiuxiu's face was pale, and there was a strand of white hair on the tip of her hair. The fox was panting heavily, obviously very tired.

"Master..." Huang Ruhua turned around and asked cautiously.

"Who asked you to come out? Go back to seclusion!" the fox said angrily.

"I had a vision in my mind, and I was worried about you..." Huang Ruhua muttered, then looked at Lin Bai again, and walked away dejectedly.

Lin Bai held Xiu Xiu's hand, and the fox's tail immediately swept away, then wrapped its tail around Xiu Xiu's wrist, and saw Xiu Xiu's strand of white hair disappear.

"I said that I felt a bit ominous when you came here. It turns out that you should be here." The fox jumped forward, looked closely at the fragments of the stone plate, and asked: "Is there any harvest?"

Lin Bai nodded, probably knowing where to find the other half of the Immortal Creation Technique. (End of chapter)
