The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 297 Inquiry
The old man strode forward, giving people an unfathomable feeling, like fog, rain and wind.

Following behind him were two men and one woman, they were Po Yunzi, Qu Chengjia and Gao Yuanyuan.

Afterwards, Meng Yuan and his party laid the foundation.

This time the leader of the Yunxia Sect came in person, and brought his disciples with him. The scene was quite grand and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In Gu Qingshan’s previous sacrifice, the wood demon didn’t come until the last day. This time, Yun Wujiu came in person and the scene was different.

All the people watching the ceremony bowed and saluted. Cheng Keshui and his companions hurried out of the hall and stepped forward to bow.

Yun Wujiu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

A stream of green water fell down, and Gu Qingshui, wearing green clothes, said, "Brother Yun, you are so kind to come. Why don't we go up the mountain and have a chat?"

"That's what I wish for." Yun Wujiu's voice was old, and it seemed to come from outside the sky.

Gu Qingshui said no more, turned into clear water, and headed towards the blessed land of Xianqiao.

Yun Wujiu looked around at everyone on the field and then followed.

Only after Yuanying left did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator only emits a little bit of pressure, it is enough to make people shiver.

When he bowed down just now, although Lin Bai did not look at Yun Wujiu, he felt that he was being watched.

Previously, when Gu Qingshan was being noticed by the wood demon during the sacrifice, it was because he had borrowed someone else’s dead tree cicada, and this time he was being noticed by Yun Wujiu, it was probably related to the old grudge between him and Qu Chengjia.

Or maybe it’s because they are both descendants of the same Wuxiang lineage.

"Master, this is our territory, don't be afraid." Miaomiao held Lin Bai's arm and tried to comfort him.

"When have I ever been afraid?" Lin Bai shook off Miaomiao's hand.

"Yes, yes, yes." Miaomiao wiped the sweat from Lin Bai's forehead considerately.

Lin Bai went to see Qu Ruyi, only to see her shrinking her neck, not daring to move. Huang Ruhua held Qu Ruyi's hand, as if whispering comfort.

Qu Ruyi had been wandering outside for a long time. When she came to Qiaoshan this time, she never expected Qu Chengjia to come in person. She was really scared.

Lin Bai looked at Zhu Jianyang standing beside him.

Zhu Jianyang shook his head slightly, indicating that it had nothing to do with us.

Lin Bai nodded, but Yun Wujiu had not come out of the mountain for a long time. It was rumored that he had been in seclusion. He did not show up when the fox was making trouble. When Qiaoshan and Jiuyinshan were fighting, there were clouds floating close, but he did not show up either.

Moreover, I have never heard that Yun Wujiu had any old relationship with the ancestor of the Cheng family. Now that the ancestor of the Cheng family has passed away, he has come here with such fanfare. I guess he is taking this opportunity to visit Xiang Wuhui.

As for what he was planning, Lin Bai felt that he was not qualified to know.

However, Xiang Wuhui, Yun Wujiu and Yin Wuqing all came from the Wu Zi Secret Realm and have a senior-senior brother-sister relationship. I'm afraid there must be other reasons.

Over there, Cheng Keshui, Po Yunzi and others greeted each other. Mo Yingcheng seemed to be acquainted with Gao Yuanyuan, and the two of them held each other's arms and whispered.

After a while, Cheng Keshui, Po Yunzi and others came in, and Mo Yingcheng and Min Hengbo came over.

He first greeted Zhu Jianyang and Lin Bai, then Mo Yingcheng looked at Miaomiao and Jiang Yu.

"Are these Junior Brother Zhuanlun's two most talented disciples?" Mo Yingcheng asked.

Miaomiao and Jiangyu bowed.

After a few more words of nonsense, Lin Bai saw that Mo Yingcheng seemed to have something to say, so he said, "Brother Mo, you have come all the way here, why don't you come sit over there with me? I can give you some advice on cultivation."

Mo Yingcheng agreed immediately and left Min Hengbo behind to go with Lin Bai.

"Chunhui Hall?" When Mo Yingcheng arrived at the courtyard where Lin Bai was meditating, he saw a sign hanging at the door and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

The so-called spring sunshine mostly refers to a loving mother.

Lin Bai's face turned dark. This was Miaomiao's own decision. She was afraid of being punished, so she said some ridiculous things like "a strict teacher produces a good student" and "a strict teacher is like a kind mother". That's why she turned this place into Chunhui Hall and said that she wanted to be filial to her master with Jiang Yu.

"I am a member of the Daoyin Sect. I saw that your master taught us kindness, so I thought of a way to emulate your master's teaching, so I named it Chunhui Hall to set an example." Lin Bai managed to make it come true for Miaomiao.

As expected, Mo Yingcheng nodded repeatedly and said, "When we were discussing Taoism a few days ago, I heard Junior Sister Pei say that you love your disciples the most. Seeing you today, it is indeed true. Junior Brother Zhuanlun loves his disciples like his own children. I admire you very much."

The two sat down in the yard and poured themselves some tea.

After talking for a while, Mo Yingcheng finally got down to business. "Gao Yuanyuan and Tianchi Sect's Gai Chengfei have been to my Daoyin Sect before. I have known them for a long time. But I have heard of the name of the leader of the Yunxia Sect for a long time, but I have never met him. I don't want to have this blessing today."

Are you here to ask me about this? I don't know either! It's already very difficult to touch Aunt Gu's hand. If I want to participate in Gao Xiu's affairs, I'm afraid I'm not qualified.

"In your opinion, what is the purpose of Senior Yun's visit?" Lin Bai asked sincerely.

Mo Yingcheng and Lin Bai had been through thick and thin together, and they also had a relationship with Pei Ning, so he was not an outsider. It was obvious that Lin Bai was confused at the moment, so he asked in a low voice: "You don't know either?" He pointed in the direction of Qingyun Mountain.

This is to ask Gu Qingshui whether he has revealed anything.

"Brother Mo, there is no need to hide it from you. Although Patriarch Gu values ​​me, he has never let me participate in secrets." Lin Bai said.

Mo Yingcheng nodded and said, "Senior Gu is cultivating me so much because he doesn't want you to be bothered by trivial matters."

He grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and suggested, "Junior Sister Pei is far away, and you are provoking people in Jiuzha Mountain, and you are not on good terms with Junior Sister Mu. Why don't you find another daughter of the Gu family, a female cultivator who is building a foundation. In this way, Patriarch Gu will really treat you as his own family!"

Why are they all pimps? And female cultivators at the foundation building stage? Why can't they be high-level cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage? Lin Bai waved his hand and said, "Ancestor Gu doesn't like matters between men and women, and doesn't keep people for love between men and women."

"That's right. Senior Gu looks like a cold and indifferent person. It's no wonder that he doesn't like these little tricks."

Mo Yingcheng laughed and took out a letter, saying, "Junior Sister Bi from Jiuzha Mountain asked me to pass it on."

"Bi Huanqiu?" Lin Bai took the letter, but was a little afraid to open it.

Although I did try to save people at that time, it was firstly out of respect for Bi Huan Qiu's desire to seek the truth, and secondly, I just did it for show because I had nothing else to do. I never expected that someone would write to me specifically for this purpose.

Lin Bai thought he was not a good man, so he really didn't dare to delay him. And there was also the matter of Ying Wangtian. It was a bit unfair to kill his senior brother and harm his junior sister at the same time.

"Don't let down their kindness." Mo Yingcheng lowered his voice, "Junior Sister Pei is only focused on cultivation. She doesn't know about this, and I haven't told Min Hengbo and Dugu Yan."

"...Brother, you have good intentions."

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and opened the letter. There was not much to say in it. It just asked about Lin Bai's recent situation, talked about her recent situation, and then invited Lin Bai to visit Jiuzha Mountain. Finally, it raised a few questions about cultivation.

"When people ask questions, they hope you will reply." Mo Yingcheng had no demeanor of a senior brother at all and actually came forward to take a look.

"..." Lin Bai had no choice but to take out his pen and ink and write a reply letter, inviting Bi Huanqiu to visit Qiaoshan. Mo Yingcheng also offered some suggestions, but they were not serious and were rejected by Lin Bai.

After handing the reply to Mo Yingcheng, Lin Bai asked with a smile, "How are Brother Mo and Senior Sister Li doing?"

Mo Yingcheng felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and said, "Master went to Jiuzha Mountain, and there is still no news from him. I guess, I guess probably..."

"It probably can be done." Lin Bai smiled.

"I just hope it works." Mo Yingcheng sighed and shook his head, "If it works, I won't have any other expectations."

As he spoke, Mo Yingcheng grabbed Lin Bai's wrist and said, "Come to the wedding then."

"Of course I have to bother you." Lin Bai smiled.

"I heard that the north is getting more and more chaotic. What's the reason?" Mo Yingcheng started talking again. Lin Bai didn't treat him as an outsider and immediately talked about the old grudge between Zhou Huishan and Wentian Pavilion.

After Mo Yingcheng finished listening, he kept shaking his head and sighing.

"I have to go back early. Old Master Dugu asked me to bring Dugu Jing with him. He wants her to gain some experience outside." Mo Yingcheng looked at Lin Bai.

Am I a mother? Two apprentices are enough of a headache, adding another one won't be crazy? Lin Bai nodded and said, "She is a few years older than Miaomiao, I think we can play together."

There was no way. Lin Bai was a kind man and always remembered Dugu Hao's kindness.

In addition, Dugu Jing is also ambitious, knows how to serve others, and although she doesn't talk much, she looks good...

The two chatted for a while and then returned to the ceremony site together.

Qu Ruyi had disappeared, presumably because she had been dragged away by Meng Yuan. Huang Ruhua was holding Dugu Jing and whispering to Miaomiao and Jiang Yu.

However, Min Hengbo and Zhu Jianyang were chatting nearby, and they seemed to be getting along very well.

"You should be more careful. Senior Dugu is a kind person. It's a pity that you have entrusted your trust to the wrong person." Huang Ruhua held Dugu Jing, looking like an experienced person.

"Sister Huang, what do you mean by that?" Miaomiao was angry. "My master is an upright person. What's wrong with Dugu Jing learning formations from my master for a few days? It's as if my master is a beast!"

"Don't you know what your master is like?" Huang Ruhua immediately retorted, and then pulled Dugu Jing to remind him, "In fact, Gu Yao also knows formations, and is not worse than Lin Zhuanlun! After all, you have not been to many places and met few people, so you don't know how dangerous the world is."

Dugu Jing smiled and nodded.

When he saw Lin Mo and the others coming, Dugu Jing hurriedly saluted again.

"Dugu Jing, we are about to leave, so you stay in Qiaoshan and make more friends. Qiaoshan is a place of great natural beauty, with countless talented people. I hope you can make progress." Mo Yingcheng looked serious, and finally he had the demeanor of a senior disciple again.

Dugu Jing agreed respectfully.

Mo Yingcheng said no more and took Min Hengbo and others to bid farewell to Cheng Keshui.

After Cheng Keshui sent away the visitor from Daoyin Sect, Meng Yuan came over again.

"Senior Zhuan Lun!" Meng Yuan smiled, as generous and polite as before, "Ruyi is busy outside, thank you for taking care of me, Senior."

"You're welcome. I only knew her in humble beginnings, so how can I say I take care of her or not?" In fact, Lin Bai didn't take care of her at all. Instead, he had quarreled with her many times when they were in Daoyin Sect and Jiuzha Mountain, just because he advised her to drink less.

"Congratulations, senior, on forming the elixir." Meng Yuan bowed again.

"You and I are not outsiders, there is no need to do this." Lin Bai smiled and asked, "I see that your aura has improved again, I think the day of forming the elixir is not far away."

"It's just a difficult climb." Meng Yuan smiled bitterly, bowed again, and said, "Master wants to have a word with you, senior."

Lin Bai had a very good impression of Po Yunzi and had had dealings with Gao Yuanyuan before, so he immediately agreed.

"Is that senior sister also your confidante?" Dugu Jing looked at her from afar and asked Huang Ruhua in a low voice.

Huang Ruhua curled her lips and said unhappily, "That female running over on the side of the road, is she his confidante?"

"Sister Huang, what do you mean by this?" Miaomiao said indignantly.

"Am I wrong?" Huang Ruhua put her hands on her hips, "Little Miaomiao, you were so well-behaved and sensible when you were little, but as you grow older, you learn bad things from your master. I heard about the big things you did!" When she saw Jiang Yu trying to help, she immediately pointed at Jiang Yu and said, "And you, your sister borrowed my place to live when she was building her foundation at Mianlong Mountain! You are a gentleman, don't learn from your sister."

Huang Ruhua dismissed Miaomiao and Jiang Yu with a few words, then looked at Dugu Jing and said, "Senior Sister Meng Yuanmeng is of high character and has nothing to do with Lin Zhuanlun. But Song Jingxian from Yunxia Sect, I heard from Ruyi that she seems to have had dealings with Lin Zhuanlun..."

While they were chatting happily here, Lin Bai had already followed Meng Yuan to the outside of the side hall.

"I wonder what my master wants to talk to me about?" Qu Chengjia also came this time. Although Lin Bai was not afraid of Qu Chengjia, he did not want to make enemies with Po Yunzi and others.

Lin Bai can clearly tell who is good and who is bad.

"No need to worry." Meng Yuan blinked at Lin Bai.

Entering the side hall, there were quite a few people.

The three golden elixirs of Qiaoshan Sect are Cheng Keshui, Gu Jiuchong and Yang Shaoan.

There are also three direct descendants of the Yunxia Sect, namely Po Yunzi, Qu Chengjia and Gao Yuanyuan.

There was a person standing behind each of the six Jindan. Qu Ruyi stood behind Qu Chengjia with his head down, like a little rooster that had just been castrated.

Looking at Qu Chengjia again, he had his eyes closed and was not moving, not even looking at Lin Bai.

Gao Yuanyuan had a smile on her face and looked at Lin Bai curiously.

Po Yunzi was still wearing old clothes, looking a little shabby, but he looked very energetic.

Lin Bai saluted everyone, and everyone stood up to return the salute. After all, he was now a golden elixir, had Gu Qingshui to rely on, and had a past with the fox, so no matter who it was, he had to give him some face.

Qu Chengjia just closed his eyes and did not move, as if he was unaware that someone was coming.

"My dear brother Zhuanlun!" Cheng Keshui enthusiastically invited Lin Bai to sit down.

"I remember the first time I met you was when Ruyi was building his foundation outside?" Gao Yuanyuan looked at Qu Ruyi with a smile.

Qu Ruyi lowered her head, glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, and nodded.

"When we meet again, you will be in Mianlong Mountain looking for a chance to build your foundation." Gao Yuanyuan sighed, "Time flies. Now you have reached the Golden Core Stage, but we haven't made any progress at all."

"I will never forget your guidance and the gift of wine in the past." Lin Bai saluted Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and didn't say much.

Po Yunzi saw that Lin Bai did not mention the grudge with Qu Chengjia and had no resentment. He knew that although his grudge had been settled, he also had an old relationship with Gao Yuanyuan. He was probably doing it for Qu Ruyi's sake.

"Brother Zhuanlun," Cheng Keshui spoke again, "Senior Brother Poyunzi wants to ask you something. I wonder if it's convenient for you to talk."

"I wonder what it is?" Lin Bai asked curiously, but he knew in his heart that it must be about Jiuzha Mountain.

"When the Jiuzha Mountain secret realm was opened last time, you went there in person, what was the situation inside?" Po Yunzi asked directly without beating around the bush. "The East Sea region where we live is the Wuxiang Daoist master's execution ground, so I want to find out a little bit, and I have no other intentions."

Lin Bai looked at Gu Jiuzhong, who nodded.

"I have been there, but the details are not allowed to be spread outside at Jiuzhashan." There is indeed such a rule, but Lin Bai did not follow it. He had already told about it many times outside, only hiding many details.

"We are not outsiders." Cheng Keshui also listened to Lin Bai's talk briefly.

"Since the headmaster has said so, I naturally dare not hide it." Lin Bai gave Cheng Keshui face, then looked at Po Yunzi and Gao Yuanyuan, and continued: "Qu Ruyi and I have known each other for a long time, and have been through hardships together. I have also received guidance from Senior Brothers Po Yunzi and Gao, so I am indeed not an outsider. So I will tell you everything I know."

Qu Ruyi had her head down like a defeated hen, and was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Lin Bai blankly, with a puzzled expression as if asking, "Why did you involve me in this?"

Lin Bai ignored Qu Ruyi's resentful look and just recounted in detail what happened under the Endless River.

Of course, he also concealed what he had gained from the mountain top. However, he could not hide the fact that he had been attacked by the sword, so he told it all.

Po Yunzi was a sword cultivator. When he heard about the sword intent that had the power to destroy everything, he immediately became interested.

Lin Bai asked him to check it out.

"How can the fluorescence of rotten grass compare to the sun and the moon? Today I realized that we are not even as good as fluorescence." Po Yunzi loosened his hand after feeling it for a moment, looking dazed.

When everyone heard that Po Yunzi thought so highly of the sword intent, they all looked at him sideways.
