The Wheel-Turning Master

The snow stopped and the wind did not stop.

The coffin was sealed before noon, and according to Mr. Bai's wishes, he had to be buried today.

There was no funeral ceremony and no feasting. Even the only ones wearing linen were Lin Bai and Xiu Xiu.

After seeing noon, Lin Bai went out and asked someone to carry the coffin.

The news of Doctor Bai's death has spread, and there are many people outside Baicao Hall, which is blocked.

"There was a magical turtle flying in the sky yesterday, and most likely it was here to carry Doctor Bai!"

"The turtle is here to repay a favor. Doctor Bai saved one by the river when he was a child..."

The street was noisy, and before Lin Bai could say anything, a man squeezed in front of him. He was wearing thin clothes and had a worried look on his face.

This man was none other than the man who had taken the Valley Road and had been married for many years without any heirs.

"Doctor Lin!" The man suddenly knelt on the ground, "I heard that Doctor Bai left and was going to be buried today, so I quickly stopped working and rushed over to carry the coffin. My mother-in-law said, if I can't carry the coffin, , won’t let me go home!”

"Okay, I count you." Lin Bai helped him up and asked, "Is your wife okay during pregnancy?"

"It's fine! Everything is fine! It tastes delicious!" The man was very honest.

"It's cold and the road is slippery, so she needs to be careful." Lin Bai gave a few words of advice.

At this time, a bald man approached, but it was Niu Er.

"Doctor Lin, we also want to carry the coffin." Niu Er touched the scar on his head.

This scar was left by Lin Bai and treated by Dr. Bai.

Lin Bai naturally agreed.

When the people onlookers saw this, they all opened their mouths and asked to carry the coffin. There were old people and young people, and it was noisy for a while.

Lin Bai glanced at them and selected a few young and strong ones.

After packing everything, he carried the coffin out of the door and headed towards Beicheng.

The snow on the road has been swept to the side of the road. Doctor Bai has been in Beicheng all his life, and most people here have benefited from his kindness.

Therefore, as soon as they heard that Doctor Bai was going to be buried today, the people of Beicheng spontaneously swept the streets for fear of delaying Doctor Bai's return.

Pei Ning led the soldiers on horseback to clear the way in front. Lin Bai and Xiu Xiu supported the coffin, followed by many Beicheng people.

Not long after walking, the front suddenly stopped.

Then I saw a person with disheveled hair and clothes stained with snow, staggering forward.

Everyone thought that this man had come to mourn after hearing that Dr. Bai was dead. Just when they were about to lament that Dr. Bai was alive and well, the man threw himself at Lin Bai's feet.

The man collapsed on the ground, hugging Lin Bai's legs, raising his head, his hair spread out, and he was clearly the national master Zhang Yuanshan.

"Why are you so stupid? Don't you cherish this great opportunity?" Zhang Yuanshan's nose burst into tears, "That's the road to immortality! The road to immortality! The road to immortality! Why did you push it away? Even if you don't want it, it would be great to give it to me! I I’ll give you my daughter and take away the concubine’s room instead!”

"Whose fool?" Lin Bai frowned and looked up at Peining.

Pei Ning had already driven over on horseback, glared at Lin Bai, first called for someone to pull Zhang Yuanshan up, and then explained in a low voice: "He was in a coma yesterday, and I only asked people to guard him. His long-cherished wish for many years was shattered... …”

Having said this, Peining tapped his head with his index finger and said, "There may be something wrong. It will be fine in a few days."

Lin Bai nodded without saying anything, and pulled Xiu Xiu forward.

After leaving the North City Gate, the snow was swept away from the road. Many villagers from outside the city also came to see him off, most of them holding big brooms.

Walking half a mile west, we came to the Bai family's ancestral grave.

More and more people are gathering here, the north wind is blowing, no one is talking loudly, and the atmosphere is very solemn.

After the burial, the crowd slowly dispersed.

As soon as there were fewer people, Lin Bai noticed that there were two people standing under a dead tree in the distance.

The young man is handsome and the young girl is delicate. They all wear thin Taoist robes and are not afraid of the cold. In the north wind, it seems to be isolated from the world.

It was Ruyi and the young man.

Pei Ning was standing next to Lin Bai. She had seen him a long time ago, but she just pretended not to see him.

Lin Bai looked at Peining, and Peining also looked at Lin Bai.

The two of them have been working together for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding, and can already communicate simply with their eyes.

Lin Bai: "What are they doing here?"

Peining: "How should I know?"

Lin Bai: "Go and test it out!"

Peining: "I'm not going!"

Lin Bai sighed, feeling helpless. This Pei Ning has a bad temper since meeting Master Quxian yesterday.

However, because she was attending a funeral, she didn't show any emotion to Lin Bai, but Lin Bai could feel that she was not very happy.

"Go back and get her some medicine. It's normal for women to be a little irritable during menstruation." Lin Bai comforted himself silently, then looked at Ruyi and the boy.

No matter what, it's time to say hello and get a feel for it.

He walked forward and bowed.

"Two immortal masters, as you should have done as landlords, please come to your humble residence to have a chat and serve tea. It's just a funeral in the family, so please forgive me." Lin Bai said.

"You go about your business, we just happened to be passing by." Ruyi said, but her eyes couldn't help but move down.

Lin Bai keenly noticed Ruyi's gaze and guessed that she must know what the wheel meant.

"Thank you again to the fairy for giving me the medicine. Now Mr. Bai..." Lin Bai sighed, took out the elixir bottle from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands, "I only used one pill, please don't blame the fairy."

"How can there be any reason to take back something that has been given away?"

Ruyi smiled softly on his face, put his hands in his sleeves, and said, "Just keep it. If you are injured or exhausted, it will still be of some use."

"Then thank you fairy." Lin Bai already knew that she wouldn't want it. Judging from Master Quxian's doting attitude towards her, we can tell that most of these people are loose-handed and easy to talk to, but their temper may be spoiled.

So when you treat this kind of people, you can coax, praise, fool and serve them clearly.

In a word, follow the hair.

Lin Bai guessed that Peining also understood this truth, but her waist was too straight and she couldn't bend down.

"I still received too few beatings." Lin Bai quietly slandered Pei Ning.

Lin Bai bowed again, and then said: "I have a cruel request, dare I ask the name of Master Quxian? Are there other two immortal masters?"

"Why are you asking me for my master's name?" The young man frowned.

Lin Bai pointed to Pei Ning in the distance and said: "Pei Ning told me yesterday that she admired Master Quxian's extraordinary grace and wanted to make a longevity tablet and worship it every day. But she was too shy to come. get in a word."

Over there, Pei Ning saw Lin Bai pointing at herself, and then the girl Ruyi giggled.

"He is really good at coaxing women!" Pei Ning frowned, clenched the hilt of the sword, and couldn't help but think of the Bihen Dao he had seen yesterday.

The girl Ruyi stopped laughing, looked at Lin Bai, and said seriously: "My ancestor's surname is Qu, and his name is Jia. My name is Qu Ruyi, and his name is Song Qing." At this point, Qu Ruyi laughed again and said: " Go and tell Pei Ning that the longevity tablet will be waived and that she should take good care of her father and stop being embarrassed!"

"Yes." Lin Bai silently remembered it in his heart, then thanked him and asked: "Xianxian Master Xiaoqu, may I ask when Master Qu will come back? Will we be lucky enough to see Master Xian again?"

"The ancestor went to find the people from Jiuyin Mountain, and he won't be able to come back for a while." Qu Ruyi was hugged by Lin Bai very comfortably, and she said with a smile: "If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again. If not, we can't force it."

"I forgot to tell you yesterday, don't publicize what we talked about." Song Qing suddenly spoke.

"Please keep this in mind." After Lin Bai got the useful information, he stopped asking any more questions. After bowing, he slowly retreated.

After Lin Bai left, the young man Song Qing frowned and said, "You shouldn't say more to him. It's better for such a lustful person to have less contact with him."

"You are too preoccupied. He was very respectful just now and didn't look sideways. Looking at his appearance today, his master is also a virtuous man. How bad can he be?" Qu Ruyi retorted.

"I won't debate scriptures with you." Song Qing said with a straight face, "Anyway, you should focus on your cultivation, and don't slack off just because the master is away."

"The spiritual energy here is so thin that I can't even breathe. How can I practice?" Qu Ruyi said out of breath.

"Then think more and see more. Cultivation is not only about cultivating the body, but also cultivating the heart." Song Qing said with great sincerity, "Seeing the customs of the world and seeing the warmth and coldness of the world can also be used to gain insights and sharpen the Taoist mind."

"Of course I know!" Qu Ruyi said angrily: "Didn't I ask someone about the customs here yesterday? But you are in charge!"

"You asked about the customs here yesterday?" Song Qing almost laughed angrily, "What did you talk to Ren Qiaoyun about? Ask her what the meaning of removing ashes is, what the meaning of castration is, and what the meaning of turning the wheel is. You Have you ever asked about weddings and funerals here? Have you ever asked about spring plowing and autumn harvest? This is the warmth and warmth of the world."

"I'll just ask again today." Qu Ruyi prevaricated.

"Stop talking to that Ren Qiaoyun! She behaves wildly, is coquettish, and behaves inappropriately. If you go looking for her again, I will kill her!" Song Qing said sternly.

"You're getting more and more breathless!" Qu Ruyi also got angry, "You killed her? Who kept peeking at her butt yesterday? She lowered her clothes a little, and you couldn't take your eyes away. After all, you are practicing immortality, and you haven't done it yet. Lin Zhuanlun can control it!"

Song Qing clenched his fists and glared at Qu Ruyi.

"You are a young genius. Our ancestor used to restrain you in your cultivation. Now no one cares about you. You can have a good time!" Qu Ruyi smiled proudly and walked straight into the city without looking at Song Qing.

After another two hours, the funeral crowd had dispersed.

Xiuxiu was still kneeling in front of the tomb, as if she was muttering something.

Lin Bai didn't try to persuade him. Anyway, everyone has to go through this test and grow up.

She was born into a medical family and had actually seen many separations between life and death, but she never thought that it would happen to her.

Pei Ning stepped forward, took off his cloak and put it on Xiuxiu's shoulders. Then he winked at Lin Bai and walked away.

It was very dark now and the north wind was blowing non-stop.

Except for Lin Bai and the other three, there was no one else.

"What are your plans?" Peining looked at Lin Bai who was walking towards him.

Lin Bai had already planned it, which was to focus on safety, take good care of Xiuxiu, and take good care of the medical center.

Then practice Wuji Gong to perfection. As for that method, it won't be too late to wait until Master Quxian and others leave.

In short, be honest and play it safe.

"What plans can you have?" Lin Bai glanced at Xiuxiu in front of the grave and said, "Live a peaceful life and raise Xiuxiu. As for other things, let's wait until the immortal masters leave. Let's try not to talk to him. They deal."

Peining was silent for a while and said, "It should be so."

"Also," Lin Bai touched his chin, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "I remember you said that in the past, Zhang Han and his friends would take a few people with them when they returned from their escape, saying they would take them as disciples, but These disciples have never come back. Yesterday, Zhang Han mentioned that their sect was not allowed to teach us the Ancient Spirit Islands."

"You mean, you didn't just accept a disciple, but used him for other purposes?" Peining asked immediately.

Lin Bai did not answer and continued to ask: "How old were the people they took away in the past? How many men and women were there?"

"Most of them are around 18 years old, sometimes there are more girls, sometimes there are more boys." Pei Ning said.

"Is it true that most of the girls are beautiful, but the boys are just average?" Lin Bai asked.

Pei Ning thought for a moment and replied, "At least it has been like this in recent years."

"Maybe there are still secrets on Golden Turtle Island."

Lin Bai smiled, "According to what they said, the Golden Turtle Island is located between us and their sect, and it is more towards us. There will always be a chance to go and see it in the future."

The two chatted about some random things, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they returned to Mr. Bai's grave.

Xiuxiu was still kneeling, Lin Bai walked up, patted her head, and said, "Let's go."

Xiuxiu looked up at Lin Bai, then nodded, kowtowed three times, and then stood up.

Perhaps because she had been kneeling for a long time, Xiuxiu's feet softened as soon as she stood up.

Lin Bai immediately supported her, then squatted down and said, "Come up."

Xiu Xiu obediently lay on Lin Bai's back, first adjusted Lin Bai's hairpin with her hand, then put her arms around Lin Bai's neck and put her chin on Lin Bai's right shoulder.

Lin Bai held her knees and stood up.

Pei Ning led the horse and followed silently.

The three of them walked in the north wind, without Xiu Xiu's nagging, and no one spoke.

When they entered the city and returned to the clinic, Xiu Xiu had already fallen asleep.
