The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 234 Mysterious
He Wenyao was carrying Lu Qingyin on his back, and seemed to be struggling, walking crookedly in the woods.

Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia lowered their heads to discuss for a few more words, then followed.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and followed.

Just now Lu Qingyin said that she was courting disaster, and Lin Bai and Pei Ning joining in were also courting disaster.

Five people and one horse, all heading south.

The further south you go, the denser the forest becomes. In the rising mist, the forest appears to be a rainbow of colors.

From time to time, squirrels and wild snakes would come out, looking at everyone with confusion and vigilance.

The two Jindan naturally didn't care, and Lin Pei also ignored it. Lu Qingyin seemed to have the temper of a young lady. She rode He Wenyao back and forth, caught snakes and rats, teased them for a while, then broke them open and fed all the flesh and blood to He Wenyao.

He Wenyao had blood all over his face, and he didn't know how to refuse. Instead, his eyes were dull, as if he had accepted his fate and really thought of himself as a beast of burden.

After walking five or six miles ahead, we saw a mountain stream about ten feet wide.

Going upstream, there is an arch bridge.

The arch bridge is narrow and made of rough stones, barely enough for two or three people to pass side by side.

Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the old story in the Wordless Secret Realm. At that time, Ye Ruoqing and Li Xinghe reunited after a long separation, and the latter was alone on the Broken Bridge watching the stars.

Now when I see the bridge again, the two are quite similar, except that here there is a small bridge with flowing water, while before there was only a broken bridge with people leaving.

"Riding a donkey across a small bridge, I sigh alone at the withering pear blossoms." Lu Qingyin stroked her white hair, as if very happy. She grabbed He Wenyao's hair, picked up a wild flower, and stuck it on He Wenyao's head, "Go!"

He Wenyao walked forward in a daze.

After they crossed the bridge, Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia also went onto the bridge and looked around.

The old couple chatted for a long time, about a quarter of an hour, before they caught up with him.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning waited for a moment and then went up the bridge.

"May we live long." Lin Bai held Pei Ning's hand and they looked up at the sky together.

It was already evening, and the sky was filled with rays of light.

Earlier, Ye Ruoqing chased Li Xinghe to the bridgehead, waded across the river, and then caught Li Xinghe.

Now the beauty’s flowers have fallen, only the stream remains flowing.

At that time, Ye Ruoqing was running for Li Xinghe, and Lin Bai was looking for Xiuxiu. At this time, Lin Bai had already found Xiuxiu and was side by side with Pei Ning.

Lin Bai told Pei Ning about Ye Ruoqing and Li Xinghe, and then continued to follow the stream.

After walking for a while, we saw a bluestone road beside the mountain stream.

It's just not very regular, as if it was randomly piled up. But if you look closely, it seems that each piece of bluestone has its own charm, as if it should be there, and moving it a little bit would be out of harmony.

Continue along the bluestone path and you will see a small fenced courtyard in the woods ahead.

The yard was like an ordinary farmyard. The main house was a thatched hut, and the same was true on both sides. There were a lot of dried goods hanging under the eaves.

The crooked bamboo fence was only half a person's height. Under the fence grew a gourd. Its vines climbed up the fence and seven flowers of different colors bloomed.

There is a mulberry tree in the yard, and under the tree there are three small wooden stakes and one large wooden stake, forming a table and benches.

A stone man knelt down and bowed his head towards one of the wooden stools, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hands and a whisk stuck behind his back.

Judging from the stone man's figure, he should be a young man, and his clothes seem ordinary. However, the stone man bowed his head, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.

From this situation, it is not difficult to see that the stone is receiving the teachings, and the person who is bowing should be the one who is preaching the teachings to him.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and thought of the stone table and stone bench in Wuxiang's old residence.

There are still three seats, but there are no teapots or teacups here.

Lin Bai's heart was in turmoil, because the wooden stool that the kneeling person in the courtyard was facing was similar to the stone stool on which he sat in Wuxiang's old residence, both in the north.

"According to what Li Xinghe said, the seat I sat in was that of Senior Wuxiang. So the person this person was worshipping should be Senior Wuxiang. This person was carrying a whisk on his back and holding a scripture in his hand. He must have received teachings from Senior Wuxiang, so this person must be the successor of Wuxiang!"

"But who is this stone man? Is he still alive?"

Lin Bai looked at it from afar and had a sense of good fortune in his heart, which should be the bamboo slips held by the stone man.

As for the other things, although they also had corresponding auspicious effects, they were far less strong than that of the bamboo slips.

The two of them watched from a distance and saw Lu Qingyin riding He Wenyao to the front of the fenced yard.

There was a wooden door on the fence wall that was ajar. Lu Qingyin looked at the door, then looked into the yard, and then lay motionless, as if in a trance.

Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia were standing not far away, each of them looking solemnly towards the courtyard.

As the sun sets, the rays of light pass through the scattered trees and fall into the courtyard. The mulberry trees are reflected with golden light, and tiny silkworms can still be seen surging.

Looking down at the gourd vines climbing on the fence, the seven-colored flowers are even more vivid.

The treasure is in the yard. The fence and the wooden door are only half a person's height, but they are like a natural chasm, out of reach.

"The place where we are now should be a small world."

Yue Fengshu put his hands behind his back and walked slowly along the fence, facing the courtyard. "It is difficult for a small world to survive in the world. Over time, as the sun and moon change, it will be slowly eroded by the Great Dao until it disappears between heaven and earth. This place should have been opened up by Senior Wuxiang, and I don't know how many years it has been. Not only is the small world intact, but the restrictions in it also exist forever."

As he spoke, Yue Fengshu gently raised his hand and pressed towards the fence. Before he touched it, he saw shallow ripples on the water, making the sunset glow even more gorgeous.

"The great power of the Great One is certainly something we admire. However, due to the rules of heaven and earth, the small world will eventually be wiped out by the Great One and return to our big world." Qu Chengjia sighed, holding the whisk in his arms.

"What an ignorant remark! Didn't Xiang Wuhui and Yun Wujiu teach you the true method?" Lu Qingyin pulled He Wenyao's hair, turned to Yue Qu and the others, and sneered, "How do you know that the place we are in is the great world under the Great Dao?"

She laughed crazily, causing He Wenyao to sway with her. "Who can say that we are not in a small world? The head of Qiaoshan Sect, the direct descendant of Yunxia Sect," she looked at Lin Pei in the distance and continued, "Fox and Gu Qingshui's mud legs, you and I can enter this place, do you really think it is our destiny? Ha, you are just maggots sucking rotten flesh in a rotten coffin."

After saying this, Lu Qingyin laughed even more happily.

Although she had white hair, she still had the appearance of a young girl, and her voice was crisp. When she smiled at this moment, it was especially clear and moving, but lingering outside the sunset courtyard, it seemed even more eerie.

What she said made sense. People came to the Wuxiang Tomb to seek the true teachings of Wuxiang, hoping to gain some help and then strengthen themselves. Aren't they just maggots eating rotten flesh?

Everyone was silent for a moment, as if they agreed with Lu Qingyin's words.

Lu Qingyin laughed for a long time, and only stopped when the sun set and only a little red glow remained.

"I was trapped in shackles, but one day I was freed and found a treasure. I was so happy that I forgot my self-esteem and made everyone laugh." Lu Qingyin grabbed He Wenyao's head and made him bow his head and kowtow to greet everyone.

He Wenyao did as he was told and bowed to everyone one by one.

“Lu Qingyin,” Yue Fengshu felt sorry for his disciple and frowned, “Since we have an agreement, we are allies, so you should let my disciple go.”

"Although there is an agreement, it is not an alliance." Lu Qingyin shook her head, "Without an oath, without a blood covenant, without constraints, how can it be considered an alliance? It's just that we have no choice but to get together to live."

What this means is that once everyone gets the something, they will immediately disband and start fighting.

"We have to make an agreement..." He Wenyao suddenly spoke tremblingly.

"Okay." Lu Qingyin actually responded, "Since you are diligent, we should make an agreement."

She looked at the mulberry tree in the courtyard and said, "From this moment on, before entering the courtyard, we are not allowed to attack. If you break this oath, you will be killed by both humans and gods! Your great path will be cut off, and you will die tragically on the spot, and all your relatives, friends and teachers will die!" As she spoke, there was a phantom of a jade flute behind her, and it was clear that she was swearing an oath to her own life.

"It's your turn!" Lu Qingyin grabbed He Wenyao's hair.

He Wenyao tremblingly repeated Lu Qingyin's words.

Then came Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia, and finally Lin Bai and Pei Ning.

After everyone made an agreement, Lin Bai asked again: "There are many of us. If we enter the hospital, how should we distribute them?"

I just asked this question out of idleness. As expected, no one paid any attention.

"Alas, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be." Lin Bai shook his head and sighed.

"Get off the sedan." Lu Qingyin said.

“……” He Wenyao trembled and slowly bent his knees.

Lu Qingyin was not tall, and her feet only touched the ground after He Wenyao knelt down.

"I feel a little uncomfortable without my mount." Lu Qingyin stepped over He Wenyao's head and walked two steps forward to the wooden door. Without looking back, she gathered her hair behind her back and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, I will never forget the kindness you gave me."

"The fairy's unparalleled grace and beauty is something I see in my dreams every night." Lin Bai replied.

Lu Qingyin turned around, glanced at Lin Bai, smiled, and then said nothing.

He Wenyao stood up and looked at Yue Fengshu pitifully.

"Master..." He Wenyao lowered his head and raised his eyes, feeling fear and ashamed.

The agreement was made, Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia walked forward. The former ignored He Wenyao, but the latter took out the pill and threw it over.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning also stepped forward.

Everyone stood outside the fence and saluted towards the wooden door.

It was just getting dark, with stars and a bright moon. It was cool outside the courtyard, with insects chirping and frogs croaking in the distance, a farm scene.

Lin Bai looked up at the stars for a while, then looked into the courtyard.

He closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, but the Star Escape was completely useless and he couldn't jump into the courtyard.

The galaxy flows forever, and you can wander in it. It appears when it jumps out of the water of the galaxy and disappears when it falls into the galaxy. In between appearing and disappearing, it becomes a star escaping.

But this courtyard was extremely mysterious, as if it had cut off the galaxy, isolating the inside and outside, and cutting off communication. Escape techniques were useless, and even spiritual consciousness was difficult to penetrate into it.

"A towering tree must have its roots; a mountain stream must have its source." Yue Fengshu looked at Lu Qingyin and said, "Since you said you can enter the courtyard, tell me about it."

"Master Yue is in charge of a place. What do you think?" Lu Qingyin asked back.

"It's not a formation, it should be some kind of barrier." Yue Fengshu has indeed seen the world, "Perhaps it's just a great power that can set it up with a flick of a finger, and it can separate the inside and the outside."

Lu Qingyin smiled and looked at Qu Chengjia again.

"Cut off yin and yang." Qu Chengjia shook his head slightly.

"It's not enough if your Taoism is not enough, but you also cut off the yin and yang and separate the inside and the outside!" Lu Qingyin was very disdainful and looked at Lin Bai again.

Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia were not angry either. They had both seen big scenes before and knew that getting angry was useless under the current situation.

In order to avoid being ridiculed by her, Lin Bai did not say anything.

Lu Qingyin sneered and looked at Pei Ning again.

Pei Ning also ignored him.

Lu Qingyin ignored He Wenyao and said directly, "The great power can do it with the snap of a finger. For us, there is no flaw and no way to deal with it. It is almost like the Tao."

"How do I get in? Is there any way?" Yue Fengshu asked with a frown, already showing impatience.

"Of course there is, but it takes some time."

Lu Qingyin brushed the fence lightly, causing a whirlwind of light. She smiled and said, "Is there anything in the world that lasts forever?" She pointed to the wooden stool in the yard and said, "Even if it is a powerful being that can open up this world, even if it lives for tens of thousands of years, it will fall one day, let alone this barrier?"

"That's right!" Qu Chengjia suddenly said, "Time flies by, and the power of the barrier will naturally fade away."

"That's exactly the truth." Lu Qingyin smiled, then looked at Lin Bai and said with a smile: "When I first came here, I saw someone enter this courtyard."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Bai naturally knew that they were talking about Li Xinghe. And the others, more or less, also vaguely guessed it.

Since someone can enter this room, everyone has hope of entering.

"What did he take away?" Yue Fengshu looked towards the yard.

"I just watered the gourd vines and sat idly on that broken stool for a few days." Lu Qingyin no longer had the smile she had just had, nor did she look crazy. Instead, her eyes were clear and solemn.

It can be seen that even she, who is a leader in her realm, cannot understand what others do.

"What happened next?" Lin Bai suddenly asked.

"He used silk as a chain to trap me." Lu Qingyin suddenly smiled, looked at He Wenyao, and said, "If it weren't for this young man's help, I would still be trapped in the cocoon."

"..." He Wenyao's face flushed red. Although he was angry, he only dared to whisper: "You used illusion to seduce me, which is not a smart move."

"You fell into the trap because you were greedy for the opportunity, how can you blame me?" Lu Qingyin said with a smile.

“A silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies.” Lin Bai looked at the mulberry tree in the courtyard, then at Lu Qingyin, and said, “Perhaps that senior did not want to trap you or kill you, but only hoped that you could break out of your cocoon like a silkworm.”

Lu Qingyin's face suddenly turned cold and stern, "No one can teach me how to do things!"

Everyone remained silent.

After a while, Yue Fengshu nodded slightly and said, "I already know how to break the barrier."

"I understand too." Qu Chengjia said.

“Ahem…” He Wenyao saw Lu Qingyin looking over, he opened his mouth and said, “I understand too.”

"It seems that you two are not stupid." Lu Qingyin looked at Lin Bai.

"Transform the changes of the five elements, connect the opportunities of heaven and earth, and borrow the power of the Great Dao. Use its might for your own benefit." Lin Bai smiled and clapped his hands, "If I had known that the fairy was proficient in formations, I would be willing to lend a hand and help the fairy break this barrier with the formation!"

"Lin Zhuanlun, your attainment in formation is even better than mine. Are you mocking me by saying you will help me?" Lu Qingyin asked with a smile.

"I dare not." Lin Bai smiled.

"The Gu family has actually passed on a book about Taoism to you," Yue Fengshu made a judgment after hearing only one sentence. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at Lin Bai, then at Qu Chengjia, and said, "Junior Sister Qu, it is obvious that the Gu family favors this person."

"This person is good at forging things, and even the Nascent Soul can't defend against him." Qu Chengjia said.

"You two are too kind." Lin Bai smiled and bowed, "How dare I deceive a Yuanying? Even if a Jindan is by my side, I dare not tell a single lie."

"Okay, I'm tired of listening to this." Lu Qingyin sat down cross-legged, very impatient, "You clearly hate them both in your heart, and you know they hate you very much, but you still pretend to be hypocritical! How boring!" She grabbed the hem of Lin Bai's clothes and said, "Think carefully with me about how to break the barrier! If you can do it, I will help you! What crooked tree, what turtle shell, all of them are no problem!"

Things haven't even been accomplished yet, but everyone is already thinking about falling out.
