The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 159 Wedding Dress
"Crane in the Clouds."

"Sister, please don't say any more! I have made up my mind. I will stay here and will not retreat even a single step!"

"I asked you to help me."

"Oh oh oh."

Lin Bai quickly sat up and went forward to take a look.

Gu Feixue sat cross-legged at the back, leaning on a broken sword, his face extremely pale, without a trace of blood. His hair was messy, and he had none of the grace of a swordsman before.

"Senior Sister, how can I help you?" Lin Bai inexplicably thought of Jiang Yatou.

Gu Feixue let go of the broken sword, stretched out his pale hand, and touched the medicine bottle tremblingly.

Seeing that she was too weak, Lin Bai snatched it away, poured out three Jade Purity Pills, and threw them in. "Open your mouth."

He then took out a bottle of healing pills and threw them in.

Gu Feixue closed her eyes, sat quietly for a long time, and then opened her eyes again.

But her face was still pale, and her lips had no color at all. It seemed that the elixir had no effect on her.

"Useless?" Lin Bai asked with concern.

Gu Feixue shook her head gently, "I've been poisoned, my Qi sea is blocked, and ordinary detoxification pills are useless." She seemed to be enduring the pain, and spoke with gritted teeth.

"Is there any other way?" Lin Bai asked.

"Look at my back." Gu Feixue said.

Lin Bai stood up to take a look, and saw that Gu Feixue's Taoist robe was torn, revealing her snow-white skin. There were two fist-sized wounds on her skin, which looked like teeth marks, deep enough to see the bones, but there was no trace of blood.

Extremely fine spider silk grew out of her flesh and bones, slowly crawling up her back, as if to wrap her up completely.

But I have to say, her shoulders are pretty.

"The poison has entered my body, and the spider silk is lodging in my body. In less than two or three days, my blood, flesh and spiritual power will be sucked dry by the spider silk."

Gu Feixue actually smiled, "Now, you know why I say I am food, right?"

"That spider hasn't eaten you yet, so Senior Sister should be storing food." Lin Bai said seriously.

"..." Gu Feixue was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"How can I help you?" Lin Bai asked seriously.

"Didn't you see the foundation-building spider when you came?" Gu Feixue asked.

"I have never seen it." Lin Bai sighed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a lucky look, "Maybe he was led away by someone else."

"That's possible." Gu Feixue agreed, "Gu Feng and I were ambushed by people from Jiuyin Mountain, and we used up all our supplies. Gu Feng and I fled in a hurry and mistakenly entered the territory of the Cangbei spider. Gu Feng was sucked dry of his brain and died, and I was imprisoned here."

"Alas." Lin Bai sighed, thinking to himself that if you come into the mountains to make a living, you will die with your head on your crotch, so don't hold a grudge even if you die.

"That spider has a perfect foundation, a strong body, and its spider silk magic is strange. Two or three ordinary people with a perfect foundation are no match for it, unless they use a formation or have a magical power to restrain it." Gu Feixue said.

"Senior Sister, let's heal our wounds first." Lin Bai didn't want to talk more about spiders.

"My sea of ​​qi is sealed, and I have no magical powers." Gu Feixue sighed, "You are an alchemist, so you must be proficient in fire magic." She clenched her hands and said, "Come, burn the spider silk for me!"

Lin Bai glanced at her back, which was so white. Can you withstand the heat?
"Senior Sister, please bear with it for a while." Lin Bai pointed out, and a bean-sized flame fell on the tooth mark on the left.

"Two!" Gu Feixue said.

"..."Lin Bai had no choice but to do two things at once.

The tiny flames gradually grew, and the flesh, blood, tendons and bones immediately turned black, emitting a burnt stench.

However, the spider silk was extremely tough and only shrank slightly without being burned.

"Are you so weak?" Gu Feixue said.

"I'm afraid senior sister can't bear it." Lin Bai said.

"Come on." Gu Feixue clenched his fists.

The fire was not big, but it was steaming. The spider silk was unbroken, as if it was extremely tough.

"Is this all you have?" Gu Feixue looked at Lin Bai.

Who are you looking down on? Lin Bai did not hold back, and pointed with his finger. The flame became smaller, but it gave off a hint of burning.

With a sizzling sound, all the spider silk on Gu Feixue's back was burned off. The flesh and blood turned into charcoal, and the bones were burnt black.

"It's done." Lin Bai gasped.

Gu Feixue's face was covered in sweat, and her lips were bitten and dripping with blood.

"There are also spider silks living in the body." Gu Feixue's face turned even paler.

"Senior Sister, how about taking a break?" Lin Bai said.

"Are you tired?" Gu Feixue looked at Lin Bai and saw him shaking his head, so she said, "Then continue."

As expected, capable sword cultivators are tough and unyielding and can move forward.

Lin Bai sat behind her, pointed his finger at the wound, probed it with his spiritual sense, then injected spiritual power into his body and began to pull out the spider silk bit by bit.

After working for two hours, Gu Feixue endured the pain and didn't say a word.

After removing most of the poisonous spider silk, there was still some left, so it was difficult to remove it completely.

"I'm so useless!" Lin Bai pounded the ground angrily. In fact, he really couldn't do it.

"It's the spider silk that took root, not you." Gu Feixue's voice was trembling, as if she was in great pain, "The remaining spider silk can't completely seal my sea of ​​qi, wait for me to recover a little."

"I will protect my senior sister!" Lin Bai stood up immediately, then staggered and could not stand steadily.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Feixue said.

"What does that matter? As long as my senior sister is safe and sound, it's reasonable for me to be a little more tired." Lin Bai took out the pill bottle tremblingly, and took out the pill for healing and restoring energy. He gave it to Gu Feixue first, and then swallowed a pill himself.

"You..." Gu Feixue was really moved. There was blood dripping from the corners of her mouth and her hands were scratched by her nails, oozing a lot of blood. "The Gu family and I will always remember your kindness."

"Sister..." Lin Bai sighed and said with a wry smile, "With the poisonous spider out there, it's a life-or-death situation. There's no need to say anything about gratitude. I just hope that you can recover as soon as possible. When the poisonous spider comes again, you'll need your help."

"Okay." Gu Feixue nodded seriously, and then said: "After I was hidden here by the poisonous spider, it was always patrolling outside. How come it hasn't come yet?" She was quite doubtful.

"Maybe she was tripped by the people from Jiuyin Mountain." Lin Bai replied seriously, and then said: "Senior sister, please heal your wounds quickly. When you feel better, we will find a chance to escape."

Gu Feixue nodded, said no more, just closed her eyes and rested.

Lin Bai was guarding the entrance of the cave, meticulously.

When night fell, there were rustling sounds outside. Lin Bai felt nothing, but he was still cautious.

After a while, several spiders as big as millstones crawled over. They were at the Qi training stage.

After going out of the cave to cook, Lin Bai came back.

Gu Feixue opened her eyes and asked, and Lin Bai did not hide it.

"Be still careful." Gu Feixue warned.

Lin Bai agreed.

The moon was at its zenith, and the trees outside the cave were covered with pale spider webs, making it seem lonely and desolate.

Looking outside, Lin Bai suddenly wanted to explore the deep pool again. It had nothing to do with good or bad luck, but it seemed like there was some vague guidance.

Looking back at the great swordsman Gu, he still looked half dead, with no blood on his face.

When it was light in the morning, Gu Feixue opened her eyes.

"Senior Sister, are you feeling better?" Lin Bai asked with a concerned look.

"My Qi Sea is damaged, and it's hard to gather spiritual energy. I'm no different from an ordinary Qi Refiner at this moment." Gu Feixue shook her head slightly, "But I can finally move my hands and feet."

She looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Did you bring clean clothes? I've been in the mountains for too long and all my replacement clothes are gone."

Lin Bai quickly took out his robe and placed it in front of her. "My clothes are rough, so please make do with them, senior sister." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cave, clearly behaving like a gentleman.

After a while, Gu Feixue's voice was heard in the cave.

Lin Bai stepped in and found Gu Feixue had already changed. She tied her wide sleeves tightly and tied her hair up again.

Just as I was about to say something, there was a sudden noise outside.

I went out to see, and saw someone approaching. He was in tatters, his face was bruised, his arms were hanging, and he looked extremely miserable.

"Who are you?" Lin Bai drew his sword and stood up. "This is the place where Senior Sister Gu of Qiaoshan Sect is practicing meditation! Get out of here immediately!"

"Zhu Jianyang."

"Please come in quickly!"

Zhu Jianyang was very weak, with several wounds on his body, all of which were deep enough to see the bones. His arm was broken, and his face was bruised, as if a deadly poison had entered his body.

Lin Bai helped him in and stuffed three Jade Purity Pills into his mouth.

When Zhu Jianyang saw Gu Feixue's clothes, he didn't say anything. He just glanced at Lin Bai and closed his eyes to rest.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Jianyang regained some strength and then he slowly spoke.

It turned out that he and Gu Yao were traveling together on this trip, and the two of them were not unlucky and did not encounter any danger. But after they passed the Chuan Valley, they were attacked again and again.

The two struggled to survive and fought with the monks of Jiuyin Mountain, even using their life-saving talismans. They were already at the end of their rope, but they mistakenly entered the territory of the Green Feathered Peacock. Zhu Jianyang was attacked and had no ability to resist. Gu Yao had no way to rescue him, so she slaughtered the descendants of the peacock and led the foundation-building peacock away.

"I closed my eyes and waited for death, but then I met a Taoist friend from the Yunxia Sect. She gave me some medicinal pills and showed me the way. I rested for two days, and when the poison from the peacock feathers was slightly suppressed, I set off. After a few days of humiliation and several dangerous experiences, I finally arrived here."

Zhu Jianyang's tone was very soft, weak and embarrassed, but he still looked at Lin Bai meaningfully.

"Did you encounter the gray-backed spider when you came here?" Gu Feixue asked.

"There were only densely packed little spiders, two of which were in the Qi training stage, and I exhausted them to death." Zhu Jianyang nodded, "It was all thanks to the talisman that the Taoist friend from the Yunxia Sect gave me, otherwise I..."

Hearing this, Lin Bai and Gu Feixue looked at each other and nodded slowly.

"The spider probably died outside." Gu Feixue said.

"It has reached the state of perfect foundation building. Its body is extremely tough and its magical powers are strange. I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill it." Lin Bai shook his head slightly and analyzed seriously, "Although it is rare for monsters to leave their territory, there is no guarantee that there won't be an emergency. We still need to be cautious."

Gu Feixue nodded, "Brother Yun is right."

Zhu Jianyang looked at the two of them and said nothing.

"Where did Gu Yao go?" Gu Feixue asked again. Zhu Jianyang took out the map and pointed it out in detail.

It was actually heading due west, which was a place that had not been set foot on yet, and who knew how many monsters were lurking there.

Gu Feixue sighed softly, glanced at Lin Bai, and shook her head slightly.

Lin Bai pretended not to understand what she meant and sighed as well.

"Both of you are injured. Why don't you take care of yourself first? I'll go outside to investigate." Lin Bai said seriously.

"You need to be careful." Gu Feixue warned.

Lin Bai nodded and walked out.

After patrolling the spider's base and finding no danger, he quickly returned.

"It's really peaceful here, there's no danger." Lin Bai said tiredly.

Zhu Jianyang and Gu Feixue both breathed a sigh of relief.

After another night, Zhu Jianyang's complexion looked better, but the purple and green energy was still lingering.

"Staying here is not a solution." Lin Bai sighed and said, "Senior Sister Gu, what should we do?"

What Lin Bai meant was, that’s enough, it’s all work, you go home to recuperate, I’ll go home to breastfeed, and everyone can go back to their own mothers.

"Gu Yao's whereabouts are unknown, I need to go find her." Seeing that Lin Bai was in deep thought, Gu Feixue explained, "If I didn't know where she was, then there would be no need to say more. But now I know that she is in danger. If I don't save her, I will be ashamed of having the same surname as her."

Zhu Jianyang also nodded slightly. He was in the same team with Gu Yao, and Gu Yao led Peacock away to save him, so he should go find her.

"Brother Yun, you have done your best this time. Just stay here to protect Brother Zhu. I will go alone." Gu Feixue was very determined and stood up.

I've been acting for two days and finally got the job done for Gu Jinzhen. Are you going to die? Then my efforts would have been in vain?
"Slow down." Lin Bai held her shoulders and pushed her down. "You haven't recovered from your injuries yet. The spider silk in your body is not much stronger than practicing Qi. How can you go out?"

Lin Bai stood up and said, "I'll go alone!"

His voice was sonorous and his eyes were determined, as if he was ready to die bravely.

Since he couldn't escape, Lin Bai decided to go alone and take a look at the deep pool. Maybe he could pick up a fox to play with.

Besides, it's also good to act alone, at least I won't show my strength. And there is a way to avoid danger and seek good fortune, so as long as I am careful, it should be fine.

"I'll go with you!" said Gu Feixue.

"I'll go too." Zhu Jianyang had to speak up.

"No." Lin Bai said sternly, "You two are both seriously injured. To put it bluntly, you would be a burden if you go with me."

It was the first time that Gu Feixue heard someone say that she was a burden, but it was indeed the case.

"As the saying goes, when the sea is turbulent, the true character of a hero is revealed." Lin Bai raised his sword and spoke very seriously, "Although I am not a hero, I cannot let Senior Sister take risks with her injured body."

He looked at Gu Feixue and warned her word by word: "I'll leave this place to you, Senior Sister. If I don't come back in five days..."

He sighed, shook his head, turned and walked out.

Zhu Jianyang and Gu Feixue looked at Lin Bai's back for a long time without saying a word.

"He...Brother Zhu, your friend is truly rare. He is an alchemist with humble skills, yet he has made such sacrifices for us."

Gu Feixue looked outside the cave, only to see Lin Bai's back getting farther and farther away. He sighed, "With a loyal ambition, a humble attitude, and a willingness to die, I..."

She sighed and couldn't utter a word.

Although Zhu Jianyang didn't know Lin Bai's methods, he had been with him for a long time and knew Lin Bai's temperament. He looked at Gu Feixue's Taoist robe and thought, you should go out more often. He has made you into a fool with just a few words. He is just trying to coax you!

After leaving the spider's territory, Lin Bai quickly quickened his pace and followed the original route to the peach blossom forest.

When he arrived at the place, he first looked outside the peach blossom forest and found nothing unusual, then he stepped inside.

The pond was clear and quiet, but there were no fish swimming around, and the stone-like island in the middle was also gone.

"Has anyone been here?" Lin Bai looked closer, but couldn't see anything.

I looked around carefully again, but there was no suspicious trace at all.

Indifferent to seeking good fortune or avoiding danger, Lin Bai stepped into the deep pool.

I swam around and reached the bottom, but there was nothing there, not even a fox hair.

"Has Fairy Chen Yu's fortune been taken away by someone else?"

"Is there anyone in this world who is more innocent and kind than me?"

Lin Bai climbed ashore, spoke some nice words to Youtan, and called Xiao Huang's name.

No one paid any attention to me.

"Last time, I defended the Chuan Valley and killed monks from Jiuyin Mountain. I was so busy, but in the end, it was all for nothing. I don't know who I was doing this for!"

Lin Bai sighed for a while, and then looked excited again.

"If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. The fate-bound spirit beast is ultimately an external object. If you want to go further on the Great Dao, it still depends on yourself."

Seeing that he had lost the opportunity, Lin Bai could only grit his teeth and say some words to save his face, then hurriedly left the peach blossom forest.

Following the instructions of Zhu Jianyang's map, we headed west.

After walking crookedly for more than ten miles, we saw that the leaves of the trees in front of us were yellow and the branches were dry, as if the season had changed.

I felt nothing in my heart, so I went forward to have a look. There were traces of fighting here, broken trees, and bloodstains.

"Could it be that Gu Yao is dead?"

Lin Bai followed the blood trail and within half a mile, he saw a piece of clothing exposed in the bushes ahead, with five wolfhounds lying beside it.

"It must have been poisoned. The wild dog ate the meat and was poisoned to death."

He felt nothing and just pushed out his palm, pulling out all the bushes.

There was a man lying down, his hair was in a mess, his robe was torn, and the color could not be seen. Only dirty arms and legs were exposed, but there were many marks of beasts biting on them, blood and flesh were turned out, and bones were exposed, the shape was horrible.

There were three tail feathers stuck on the man's back, and the blood had long since dried.

He walked forward, waved his sleeve and lifted the man up, revealing a face covered in blood and dirt.

When Lin Bai came to Mianlong Mountain, he took the same flying boat with the Gu family, but he did not see Gu Yao.

After carefully examining the Taoist robe, it is indeed of the Qiaoshan style, and it belongs to a woman.

This person is not dead yet, and his breath is extremely weak.

He waved his sleeves to pluck out the tail feathers on her back, and trickles of purple blood flowed out.

He took out three Jade Purification Pills and fed them to her, then crushed three more pills and sprinkled them on her wound.

Even after transferring spiritual energy into her, she remained unconscious.

It was not advisable to stay here for long, so Lin Bai wrapped her up and went to find Gu Feixue.

Be careful all the way and then enter the spider territory.

"See if it's Gu Yao." Lin Bai was too lazy to pretend to be out of breath and just looked solemn.

"It's her." Zhu Jianyang took a quick look and said, "She was poisoned by the feather poison just like me."

"How can it be solved?" Gu Feixue asked.

"The Jade Purification Pill is effective." Zhu Jianyang sighed, "But the feathers have entered her body, like a flying feather, spreading all over her body. She needs to be treated as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Zhu Jianyang looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, thinking, why are you looking at me? Could it be that only He Huan can cure it? I don't dare to do that, what if I...

"Brother Yun, I'm going to trouble you again this time." Gu Feixue said.

"This..." Lin Bai touched his waist with a headache and nodded. He had already achieved the third level of Hunyuan, so what was there to be afraid of?
"I know the way out of the mountain is difficult, but as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get out!" Gu Feixue was full of confidence.

So it's time to leave the mountain! Lin Bai nodded quickly and said, "I will definitely be able to leave the mountain safely!"

Four people, old, weak, sick and disabled, set out together.

Lin Bai carried Gu Yao on his back, Gu Feixue was in front, and Zhu Jianyang was behind.

Carefully leaving the spider's territory and continuing forward, you will see a peach blossom forest.

Lin Bai pretended he had never been here. Gu Feixue explored the surroundings, and the four of them arrived in front of the Youtan Pond.

"The structure here is man-made." Gu Feixue was very confident. "When Patriarch Chenyu was in the Yang family, his residence was exactly the same as this one, but it was much smaller, and there was no island in the middle, and no peach tree."

"In that case, how do we seize the opportunity?" Zhu Jianyang asked.

Gu Feixue looked at Lin Bai.

"My trip was safe and sound. I will let my senior sister take the opportunity." Lin Bai was extremely humble and gentle like jade.

Gu Feixue looked at Zhu Jianyang.

"Please." Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled.

"Then I won't be polite!" Gu Feixue stepped forward and walked on the dark pool.

When you reach the middle, you will fall down and sink into the dark pool.

Zhu Jianyang looked at him quietly and shook his head slightly, seeming reluctant to leave.

"I didn't expect you to be so decisive in giving up such a great opportunity." Zhu Jianyang looked at Lin Bai.

"It's not mine, it's not mine after all." Lin Bai waved his hand.

Soon, a loud noise came from the dark pond, and Gu Feixue flew out, and a thin layer of ice condensed on the dark pond.

"It's gone!" Gu Feixue was soaking wet and whispered with a frown.

I knew it! Lin Bai looked stunned.

Zhu Jianyang was also very surprised.

"We have gone through so much trouble, encountered monsters, fought in the Nine Yin Mountains, set foot on barren lands, and narrowly escaped death! Gu Feng died, Gu Yao was seriously injured and unconscious, Brother Zhu was seriously ill, Brother Yun was running back and forth, and my origin was also damaged. In fact, I have done everything for others!"

Gu Feixue clenched his fists, extremely angry.

"Who said it wasn't?" Lin Bai also sighed.
