The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 29: Tongming Sword Technique
"Brother Jiang, you should never, ever rape someone's wife or daughter in broad daylight, and even got caught in the act, you still act so arrogant!"

“I’ll wait until dark!”

Lin Bai adjusted his bamboo hat, pulled down the black cloth covering his face, and made a few critical remarks.

The cicadas were chirping again, and the insects and birds were chirping, making the woods at night even quieter.

Pull out the flying knife and wipe it carefully.

The knife just now was struck at a very close distance and had destroyed Jiang Rong's lungs and internal organs.

He took out an old book from Jiang Rong's arms, titled Tongming Sword Technique.

This sword technique is very worn out, and it must have been read day and night.

There were also a few silver bills, which Lin Bai casually put into his arms.

I touched another black tag, the size of a palm, with the words "Walking Ginger" in the middle and a sheep engraved on the back.

"This should be the Qingyang Sect's identity card. Hey, what is this?"

Lin Bai then took out a pink bellyband with mandarin ducks embroidered on it, obviously a woman's item.

"Brother Jiang is so charming. I admire him."

"It's just that you and I are enemies, not friends. When I chose Pei Wuyong, we became enemies."

Lin Bai bowed, picked up his sword, and stabbed him in the wound to cover the original wound.

After dealing with the aftermath, Lin Bai rushed to the river bank, picking up the thrown knives along the way.

When they arrived at the bank of Huaxi River, the passenger ship had disappeared. They didn't know whether it had escaped or returned to report the news.

This matter cannot be concealed, but I have not revealed any traces, so we will see later.

We returned along the same route, being careful all the way, and it was already midnight when we got home.

The cicadas chirped softly on the jujube tree, but Lin Bai paid no attention to them. He washed himself, changed his clothes, lit a lamp, and looked through the Tongming Sword Technique.

After watching it, I sat on the bed, closed my eyes and cleared my mind.

The space inside the stone disk remained the same, and the fog that had become slightly thinner in the past had returned to normal.

Lin Bai sat down and thought quietly about what he had gained and lost tonight.

"Before Jiang Rong died, he looked surprised and mentioned the word 'enter the Tao' and Pei Wuyong."

"You still say that I have a short time... This is definitely not to say that I have a short time to do things, but that the time since Pei Wuyong died is too short. It is impossible for me to 'enter the Tao'."

"He suspected that I had joined the Tao, but he immediately denied it."

"This means that what Pei Wu used in his hand is a magic method to 'enter the Tao', or a clue to 'enter the Tao'."

"It seems that the 'thing' was hidden by Pei Wuyong. The bamboo board is a token, or it may also be a clue..."

"But since Pei Wuyong stole a magical item that could lead to enlightenment, who was the owner? Did he enter the Dao? If so, he must have some magical powers. Why didn't he come to pursue it?"

"The Qingyang Sect may not only be a martial arts sect, but there may also be masters. I just don't know how it compares to Sister Zhen, and whether it is an enemy or a friend to Sister Zhen?"

"In addition, Jiang Rong's last sword was slightly off target, and there was confusion in his eyes... Does this mean that Sister Zhen is good at some kind of illusion, or a technique that confuses the mind?"

"How should I face her next? ... Forget it, since she is protecting me and has no obvious ill intentions, I will just be obedient for now. At least I know that she is indeed not an ordinary person."

"The other thing is the aftermath of tonight's incident. Ren Qiaoyun leaked the information about Jiang Rong, but she shouldn't say anything nonsense, otherwise her flirting with me will be in jeopardy."

"But she is a flirtatious person, so we have to be careful with her. It would be best if we could meet her again."

"The most important thing now is to improve myself and perfect my Wuji Gong first. The more ability I can gain, the better."

After clearing his mind, Lin Bai recalled the contents of the Tongming Sword Technique.

This sword technique is obviously not an entry-level sword technique.

There are not many moves in the whole chapter, which only emphasizes the word "sword force". It requires a clear mind and then internal strength as the foundation. The stronger the internal strength, the stronger the sword force will be.

"Being clear-minded and calm in dealing with things is consistent with the art of flying knives."

"It's just that I want to learn swordsmanship more..."

Lin Bai has been practicing Wuji Kung Fu for a long time, and has been involved in many incidents. He also has his own views on martial arts.

Generally speaking, internal strength is the way, and martial arts are the art. The way is the foundation, and the more solid the foundation, the more powerful the martial arts will be.

If you want to go far on the road of martial arts, you need to use the Tao to control the art, and the two must complement each other.

Lin Bai stretched out his hand, and clouds and mist surrounded it, and it immediately turned into a long sword.

He made a sword flower movement and practiced the moves in the Tongming Sword Technique again.

I have the foundation of Wuji Kung Fu, and my muscles and bones have been well-trained, so I can get the hang of it very quickly.

After practicing for hundreds of times, Lin Bai was confident that he had memorized the sword moves by heart and could use them naturally.

However, the sword moves were ultimately inferior and did not conform to the original intention of the Tongming Sword Technique.

Lin Bai thought back to Jiang Rong's last sword before his death.

It was clear that Jiang Rong had used all his strength in that sword strike, and he was determined to exchange his injury for his own death, with an unstoppable and domineering momentum.

However, in Lin Bai's opinion, Jiang Rong only had the "sword power" but lacked the "clear" mind, and he underestimated his own strength.

"I'll give it a try next time I get a chance. That sword move clearly exceeded Jiang Rong's original strength."

Lin Bai savored it for a moment, then resumed practicing Wuji Gong.

No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, they still need internal strength to support them.

Wuji Gong has already touched the threshold of the fourth level, and only needs the finishing touch.

"I'll borrow the inspiration from Brother Jiang's sword and see if I can break through to the fourth level."

Lin Bai closed his eyes, and his internal force circulated throughout his body and gathered in his dantian. In an instant, the yin and yang of the internal force merged, and the dragon and the tiger came together.

The next morning, Lin Bai opened his eyes. They were deep and dark, and there seemed to be some light, but it disappeared immediately.

"We have reached the fourth floor."

Exhaling, Lin Bai stood up. His muscles and bones seemed to be lighter, and his internal strength was much stronger than before.

When I walked out of the house, I heard the cicadas chirping non-stop on the jujube tree.

These black cicadas can never be killed.

After washing up, Lin Bai went to Mu Zhen's house for breakfast. She still didn't open the bun shop.

He seemed absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something. Lin Bai did not dare to say anything, and just ate in silence.

On the way to the clinic, Lin Bai heard news that a new batch of disaster victims had arrived from outside the city and the price of food in the city had doubled.

Food prices were already rising before, and now with the arrival of disaster victims, they are rising even faster.

In fact, there is no shortage of food near Huaxi County, and Lihuazhou is also a fertile land. Lin Bai guessed that those wealthy families were hoarding food.

Firstly, they wanted to make money from it; secondly, after seeing the disaster victims and the civil unrest, they might have other ideas.

When he arrived at the clinic, someone was already there, talking to Doctor Bai. Lin Bai remembered that the man was a drug dealer.

Xiuxiu was flipping through a medical book. When she saw Lin Bai, she smiled smugly and whispered, "I told Grandpa what you did yesterday. Get ready to be criticized!"

"Did you tell Doctor Bai about the transfer between me and the county magistrate's wife?" Lin Bai felt guilty and immediately stepped forward and pinched Xiuxiu's face.

"…Grandpa bullied me!" Xiuxiu immediately called for help, but Doctor Bai ignored her. Xiuxiu had no choice but to beg for mercy: "I don't care about that. I'm talking about you prescribing medicine for people at random!"

"Does it hurt?" Lin Bai gently rubbed her face and said with a smile, "I'll buy you some candied haws later."

Xiuxiu covered her face with her hands, bared her canine teeth, and said, "Two!"

"No problem." Lin Bai agreed immediately.

"You haven't brought me any buns recently." Xiuxiu said again.

"Don't mention you. I haven't had buns for several days." Lin Bai also sighed.

"You don't look like you didn't get to eat the buns, but rather like your wife doesn't want to live with you anymore." Xiuxiu was extremely perceptive.

That's not wrong.

Lin Bai glared at Xiuxiu fiercely and stopped talking.
