The Wheel-Turning Master

The country road was narrow, and the four people stopped and looked at the girl.

The breeze blew, and the girl smiled shyly, her two pigtails swaying back and forth, and the buffalo lowered its head from time to time to pull a handful of grass to eat.

In the rice fields in the distance, there were farmers wearing bamboo hats, looking over from time to time.

Lin Bai and others saw clearly that the girl was just an ordinary person, without any cultivation, and as for the buffalo, it was not a demon beast with spiritual intelligence.

The gray rabbit in the girl's arms was also an ordinary wild rabbit, with two ears erect, holding a small carrot and chewing it.

However, no one dared to be careless, after all, this was the old residence of the Taoist master. Although the master of Xuanyin had just reached the state of transformation at that time, he could not be underestimated.

The four people communicated with each other, Pei Ning and Sun Yuqing were behind, and Lin Bai and Wang Qiu were in front.

"Where are the guests from?" The girl rode a cow and approached, her voice crisp, tilting her head and looking at Lin Bai and others curiously.

"From the East." Lin Bai replied.

The girl frowned slightly and looked at the east, as if wondering what kind of place the East was.

"Little guy, what's your name?" Sun Yuqing smiled and took out a juicy peach and threw it over.

"My name is Yue Qingqing." The girl took the peach and smelled the fragrance before she ate it. She held the rabbit in one arm and ate the peach in the other hand, "It's delicious!"

"Qingqing, little girl, let me ask you, where is this place?" Sun Yuqing walked forward and asked with a smile.

"This is Niujia Village." Yue Qingqing said.

"Niujia Village..." Sun Yuqing was a little confused, thinking, isn't this a small world? She walked forward, touched the buffalo horns, pinched the girl's face, and even boldly lifted the rabbit's ears.

"It can't be fake at all, the spirit and soul are all there, it's definitely not fake." Sun Yuqing sent a message to Lin Bai and the other two.

"What do you do?" The girl Yue Qingqing took a bite of peach flesh, spit it into her palm, and put it to the rabbit's mouth.

Sun Yuqing shook his sleeves, indicating that he was a Taoist.

"Are you pulling cloth? Where are the goods? Why don't you carry a load?" Yue Qingqing looked into the distance curiously.

Sun Yuqing knew that it was impossible to reason with this girl, so he said, "Who is in charge of Niujia Village?"

"It's the village elder and the Rabbit God!" Yue Qingqing said.

"..." Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, and they covered their foreheads.

Sun Yuqing was also stunned, but Wang Qiuxie was still calm and said kindly, "Who is the Rabbit God?"

"It's the old immortal!" Yue Qingqing lowered her head, holding the fruit flesh to feed the rabbit, and didn't look up.

After saying this, everyone knew that they should go to visit the Rabbit God.

"Please lead the way, little friend." Wang Qiuxie said.

"What?" Yue Qingqing didn't understand and looked at Wang Qiuxie curiously.

"I asked you to take us to see the Rabbit God." Lin Bai said.

Yue Qingqing responded and patted the buffalo's head. The buffalo turned around and walked forward slowly without being driven away.

The four followed behind, and Sun Yuqing asked again, but Yue Qingqing was young after all. She only knew how many people there were in her family and how many acres of land she had, but she gave a messy answer about other things.

Along the road, farmers in the fields on both sides looked curiously, and some bold ones came over to talk.

"No outsiders have come to our village for hundreds of years. Where did the guests come from?" An old man carrying a hoe asked.

Seeing that the farmers here didn't know they were in a small world, Sun Yuqing just said that they were travelers who had strayed into this place and wanted to visit the Rabbit God.

After walking for a while and chatting with a few people, he felt that the people here were not very defensive and were very simple. Seeing that Sun Yuqing was lively, they even wanted to matchmake for her.

A dozen children even caught up with them, and they kept asking questions around the four people. When they knew that Yue Qingqing had got the peaches, the children also asked for them, and even took out the loaches and cicadas they caught in the fields to exchange.

Sun Yuqing was generous, and he gave peaches to everyone, and asked everyone's name.

The people in Niujia Village were either surnamed Yue or Tu, but not a single one was surnamed Niu.

"Grandpa said that those surnamed Niu are all dead." A slightly older child explained.

The four entered the village and found that it was really ordinary.

There were about two hundred households gathered, about a thousand people. There was nothing mysterious, young and old, all ordinary fireworks.

Sun Yuqing specifically looked for a white-bearded old farmer to ask about the story, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he just asked him to find the village elder.

After a while, a middle-aged man came.

The man's clothes were different from the others, much more decent, not farmers' clothes.

"Four distinguished guests." The middle-aged man bowed and saluted, "I am Tu Mianxing, and the village elder asked me to invite the distinguished guests."

Seeing that there was finally a person in charge, Lin Bai and others were not in a hurry to see the Rabbit God, so they followed the middle-aged man to see the village elder.

Perhaps because there was little new in the village, not only did a group of children follow, but also adults followed, and some old people simply followed with small stools, as if they were going to the market.

Walking deep into the village, there was a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the middle, which was as thick as five or six people's arms. It was probably a hundred feet high, with a wide crown, and there were no houses under it.

The branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree were full of sweet-scented osmanthus, and they fell all over the ground. The fragrance was strong and refreshing.

Lin Bai and the other four stopped and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree from a distance.

"Just now we looked at it from a distance on the top of the mountain, but we didn't see such a tall tree!" Sun Yuqing said in a voice transmission.

The four of them had just seen the first mysterious place since they came here, but they didn't understand why. Even Sun Yuqing and Wang Qiuxie, who had seen a lot, couldn't figure it out.

Sun Yuqing didn't dare to move forward, so Lin Bai stopped Tu Mianxing and asked about the origin of the osmanthus tree.

"When my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was alive, there was an osmanthus tree." Tu Mianxing spread his hands, "I don't know when the tree grew. I heard that it was planted by an immortal."

There was no way, seeing that it was not clear, Lin Bai and Wang Qiukai walked forward, and Sun Pei and the others followed.

When they came to the osmanthus tree, they felt that the tree was even taller. Looking up, the yellow flowers were densely hanging among the green leaves, like the endless stars in the sky. If you stare at it for a long time, you will feel dizzy.

Seeing that there were naughty children climbing up the tree, Lin Bai and Wang Qiukai also reached out to touch the trunk.

In a trance, they didn't feel anything different, just an ordinary tree.

Although the spiritual energy in the village is thin, this osmanthus tree is probably thousands of years old. It should have gathered some spiritual energy and even developed spiritual intelligence, but it was not different.

A group of villagers followed, and a woman picked osmanthus flowers and threw them to Lin Bai. Seeing this, the others also picked osmanthus flowers and gave them to Lin Bai and Wang Qiuxie.

There was also a man who gave them to Sun Pei and the others.

"What does this mean?" Lin Bai asked.

Tu Mianxing smiled and said, "According to the village custom, osmanthus flowers are tokens of love. If someone gives osmanthus flowers and the other person accepts them, they will be a family in the future and no one else can disturb them."

Wang Qiuxie quickly threw away the osmanthus flowers on his body.

Sun Yuqing shook off the osmanthus flowers on her body, and she grabbed Wang Qiuxie with one hand and said, "Brother, you are not allowed to refuse people's kindness!" She grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve with the other hand and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuanlun, pick a few quickly!"

Pei Ning smiled and waved away the osmanthus flowers on his body, but Lin Bai picked osmanthus flowers himself and gave them to Pei Ning.

Pei Ning glared at Lin Bai, then took them and put them in the sachet on his waist.

The children also clapped and laughed, and the adults were also very happy, as if they had never seen such a rare thing.

Sun Yuqing clapped his hands and smiled, bowed to Tu Mianxing, and said: "I'll trouble you to arrange a place for me to stay!"

"Okay, okay." Tu Mianxing agreed with a smile.

"I want to buy osmanthus flowers and wine. If there is osmanthus wine, it would be great." Lin Bai smiled.

"Of course there is." Tu Mianxing agreed. (End of this chapter)
