The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 311 Past Events

The fall of the God of Transformation was the source of suffering for the people of Zhou Hui Mountain. Although the old Jindan Lei Song had never witnessed the grand occasion of Zhou Hui Mountain in person, he always hated it and was unwilling to talk about it.

For a moment, the room was somewhat quiet.

Shi Qingyu tactfully poured the wine and did not dare to say anything.

After a long time, Lei Song started talking to Lin Bai about formations again.

"You have a talent for formations, but you still lack guidance. Otherwise, you will be limited by your own knowledge and it will be difficult for you to reach the top." Lei Song made some comments first, then took out a booklet and said, "Take a look."

Lin Bai took it and took a look. It was clearly the formation book he had learned before!

However, Lei Song only gave the general outline at the beginning, without the details of the Gu family.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful!" Lin Bai quickly flipped through it, exclaiming in admiration.

"This is the opening chapter. There are more interesting things in the back, which will explain the changes in the formation!" Lei Song lowered his voice, "Do you want to learn?"

Old Jindan Lei Song had a big beard and a wrinkled face, but his eyes were bright and his voice was very charming.

This book is truly a treasure and can be passed down from generation to generation.

Lin Bai looked down upon these old friends of Zhou Huishan more and more.

They are also recruiting people, but the Gu family directly delivers you to your door and gives you advice from time to time, not treating you as an outsider at all. Of course, they are also really ruthless when it comes to asking for things...

However, Lin Bai is still willing to follow the Gu family. Even though the Gu family members are unreliable, they are really kind and honest!
But Zhou Huishan was very cautious in his actions, as if he was afraid of being robbed. He would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. I don’t know if it was a character developed from years of fleeing, or if it was just like this. Anyway, he had lost the demeanor of a Huashen Sect, and even the demeanor of a Yuanying Sect was gone.

Moreover, they always look down on others, thinking that everyone in Zhou Huishan is the best, and other people's families are just country bumpkins who have nothing presentable.

No wonder he was not welcomed all the way south to escape!

"Of course I want to participate in the research." Lin Bai looked eager and asked curiously, "Brother, may I ask which expert wrote this book?"

"This was written by my ancestor Xie Qingxuan from Zhou Huishan." Lei Song stroked his beard with great pride.

Lin Bai had been hanging around Wuque Mountain for a long time and was quite familiar with Zhou Huishan's journey south.

The people from Zhou Huishan went south in three groups. Xie Qingxuan was a newly promoted Nascent Soul after the arrival of the God Transformation Realm from the Northern Wilderness. He then went south with the second group, but later left alone and no one knew where he went.

"My ancestor was on good terms with Ancestor Xie, so we were able to inherit this. In fact, it was my ancestors who paved the way for me, Zhou Huishan, and Ancestor Xie perfected it."

Old Jindan Lei Song looked at him with a blazing gaze, "How about it, brother, do you want to see what's going on? Take a glimpse of the great way?"

Why does this person always want me to change my job?
Lin Bai did not answer, but his doubts grew even more.

What the old Jindan Lei Song said should be true. The book Entering the Formation was indeed written by Yuanying Xie Qingxuan of Zhou Huishan, but later he passed a copy to Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan got it after he went out, and it was said that he was exploring a secret place.

Lin Bai remembered that Aunt Gu once said that the matter of the secret realm was also related to Ancestor Xiang.

If that's the case, then Ancestor Xiang should have had some dealings with Xie Qingxuan, but the old people in Zhou Huishan didn't know about it.

I just don't know who will be the leader when exploring that secret realm.

If he were to ask the ancestor for help from Xie Qingxuan, why not look for Cheng and Yang, two of the same level from his own family?

Of course, it is also possible that Xie Qingxuan led the ancestor to seek external aid. But why didn't Xie Qingxuan look for the old people in Zhou Huishan?
Anyway, both are possible. If it is the latter, the secret realm may be related to the old Zhouhui Mountain.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai thought of Sister Zhen and the fox again. These two naughty things should be near Zhou Hui Mountain now, or already inside Zhou Hui Mountain.

After all, Zhouhui Mountain is vaster than Qiaoshan Mountain. Although there are gods guarding it, they often go into seclusion for a hundred years, and there are only three Nascent Souls left to guard it. A man and a fox can easily sneak in.

"My dear brother, there is no need to answer so hastily." Old Jindan Lei Song stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Opportunities like this are rare, not to mention that there will be other wonderful methods passed down in the future. You should go back and think about it carefully."

"I have longed for Zhou Hui Mountain and have long wanted to join it." Lin Bai sighed and waved his hand, "But I am a casual cultivator after all, and I am loved by Patriarch Gu. If I come to Wu Que Mountain..."

"Don't worry." Lei Song saw that Lin Bai was relieved, so he immediately said: "Brother, you are proficient in formations and can make pills. You will definitely be valued by my ancestor in the future."

"But Xiaoying..." Lin Bai sighed again, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth.

"Don't worry, Yueying is definitely yours, little brother." Lei Song held Lin Bai's arm and said, "Yueying is my ancestor's favorite disciple. Isn't it better than you being someone else's forbidden toy in Qiaoshan?"

"..." Lin Bai had no idea how his reputation had been ruined, let alone how these people spread the rumors!
Seeing that the other party didn't mention sleeping, Lin Bai pretended to be polite for a while, then patted his butt and left.

Five days later, Jiang Xingchi finally showed up.

No one knew how he managed to get the Hehuan Sect's Sect Master Hua, Tianhuo City's City Master Zhu, and Wuque Mountain's Lei Zaixiao together for a meeting.

Jiang Xingchi originally wanted to take Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli with him, but Lin Bai was detained by Lei Zaixiao and asked to help Lei Song.

The three Yuanyings only talked for one day, and finally gave face to Qiaoshan and did not fight.

I heard that they cursed each other all day long and then went back home.

It is simply impossible to reconcile these three families. Lin Bai felt that with Jiang Xingchi's intelligence and scheming, he must understand this.

And Jiang Xingchi was still working so hard to do this, Lin Bai felt that it was mostly to fulfill Xiang Wuhui's mission.

"I thought I was just wasting my time, but isn't Senior Jiang also wasting his time?"

Sure enough, the next day after the quarrel, Jiang Xingchi summoned Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to his side.

After the compassionate words were spoken, Lin Cheng and the others also sighed and pretended to do so, and then they talked about continuing their journey north.

"I once swore that I would never achieve enlightenment until the northern border is at peace!" Jiang Xingchi was very serious.

Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli didn't know whether what the other person said was true or not, but they both praised Senior Jiang for his kindness and righteousness.

"Lin Zhuanlun, I heard that the mountain protection formation was being reset in Wuque Mountain recently. Did you contribute a lot?" Jiang Xingchi looked at Lin Bai.

"Yes." Lin Bai answered honestly, "The senior helped to resolve the war, and I had nothing to contribute, so I was invited to help with the arrangements."

"I plan to continue heading north. Fellow Daoist Lei said that the formation is not yet completed and he wants to keep you for a few days. Are you willing to stay?" Jiang Xingchi asked.

Only a fool would be willing to stay. Lin Bai wants to go to the north to take a look!

"I followed you to the north to end the war, not for my family or surname. I really don't want to stay any longer, I just want to follow you!" Lin Bai immediately made his attitude clear.

Jiang Xingchi nodded slightly and said, "Go and hand over the errand, and leave with me tomorrow."

Lin Bai took the order and immediately went to find the old golden elixir master Lei Song.

"My heart is like the bright moon. Although I want to live here forever, but..." Lin Bai sighed faintly and said helplessly: "Brother, wait for me to come back!"

Lei Song didn't expect that Lin Bai was still going to leave, and the formation hadn't even been set up yet!
"Why don't we let Senior Jiang go first? I'll stay here and help me pack up the mountain protection formation before we leave." Lei Song held Lin Bai's hand tightly, "Brother, I don't have many years left to live..."

His words were so sincere that his eyes were red. Lin Bai sighed again.

But after waiting for a long time, the other party neither mentioned the matter of participating in the research of the book on entering the formation, nor mentioned the matter of letting Wang Yueying sleep. Anyway, he didn't give any benefits at all, and only talked about what would happen in the future!
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to give a penny, Lin Bai really lost the mood and left after saying a few polite words.

I have been trying to take advantage of other people all day long, but I didn't expect that this time I was the one being fleeced instead, and I got nothing. It's really uncomfortable.

After returning to his guest house, Lin Bai drank alone under the moon. After a while, Wang Yueying came to try to keep him.

"Lin Lang, I'll wait for you to come back." Wang Yueying said affectionately.

Lin Bai pulled her in, but Wang Yueying refused and insisted on saying something weird like she wanted to admire the moon and say goodbye.

These old friends from Zhou Huishan were really stingy, so Lin Bai could only say some perfunctory words like he would come back someday, just to complete the act.

"Since you are leaving, please bring a letter for me." Wang Yueying took out a jade slip.

This is a jade slip for transmitting messages, mostly used to convey secrets. There is a mark of the soul on it, and if you are not a specific person, you can't see anything. If you force it to be opened, the jade slip will turn into powder.

"When we were heading south, we passed by Yubi Mountain and met a sister there. We kept in touch with each other." Wang Yueying talked about the past.

Her sister was also an old resident of Zhou Huishan, and a descendant of the second group of people who moved south.

It’s just a small favor, so Lin Bai is naturally willing to do it.

On the next day, Jiang Xingchi took Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli and continued to head north.

There were many sects and families along the way, and Jiang Xingchi only sought to see the Yuanying sects. He did not care whether these sects had grudges against Zhou Huishan's old people, and they just said nonsense like "We are all cultivators, and we are born from the same roots."

The cultivators here also knew the name of Qiaoshan, but it was too far away for the lower-level cultivators. Some had set foot there during their travels, and some had only heard of the names of the three sects of Qiaoshan, or the name of the ancestor Xiang, but knew very little about the newly promoted Nascent Soul.

Of course, the Jindan and Yuanying cultivators have a much higher vision than the lower-level disciples. They all know the name of Qiaoshan and have even had interactions with the three sects.

Most people have heard of the name of the newly promoted Yuanying Jiang Xingchi. Anyway, people either say that he is well-known or that they have heard of him for a long time.

Traveling to various places, Lin Bai saw many landscapes, made friends with many Taoists, and also learned the whereabouts of Bi Huanqiu.

Because of the name of Jiuzha Mountain, the disciples of various major sects are willing to make friends with Bi Huanqiu.

Later, Bi Huanqiu continued to head north, saying that he wanted to pay homage to Shoutian Pavilion, hoping to see the high-level cultivators in the Northern Wilderness.

After staying there for more than a month, they continued heading north and arrived at Yubi Mountain.

Zhou Huishan's old friends went south in three batches. Lei Zaixiao had not yet established a firm foothold, but the first two batches had developed well and had already become a force to be reckoned with.

However, after all, he was a dragon from outside the river. Although he was able to conquer the Jindan sect, he also made enemies with the local Yuanying sect.

The second group of Zhou Huishan’s old people who went south included a total of five Yuanying (Nascent Soul) people. Two of them later left, including Xie Qingxuan.

Now, the world has changed dramatically. Among the three remaining Yuanyings in the second batch, one has died of old age, another is too old to be recognized, and only one is still in his prime.

Yubi Mountain is the occupied territory, and now a sect has been established, named Zhenyu Sect.

I don’t know why, but for hundreds of years, the Zhenyu Sect has not produced a new Nascent Soul.

Speaking of which, among the descendants of Zhou Huishan’s old people who moved south, not a single Nascent Soul was raised.

There are Yuanying sects in the northeast and northwest of the Zhenyu Sect, and they are all sworn enemies. They never interact with each other and even fight from time to time.

Goods were banned, and people were not allowed to come in. In the past, there were still independent cultivators who worked alone to earn some spirit stones, but later the two sects issued a strict order, and they had already fortified their defenses and cleared the countryside, and would never have any contact with the True Jade Sect.

There are also Yuanying Sects in the south, but after seeing the virtues of the old people in Zhou Huishan, they do not associate with the Zhenyu Sect.

Therefore, if the Zhenyu Sect wanted to support Wuque Mountain, it had to go around a big circle and also had to be careful not to be intercepted.

Zhou Huishan’s old friends were indeed despised wherever they went.

"It's so difficult!" The leader of the True Jade Sect is Yuan Jie, who is over 1,500 years old. He is a very friendly person. After listening to Jiang Xingchi's nonsense, he actually agreed very much. "I have heard of Brother Xiang's name a long time ago. Since he has such a great ambition, our True Jade Sect will certainly help!"

He talked for a long time, complaining non-stop, talking about the difficulties of the Zhenyu Sect, saying that they were surrounded by the Guyang Sect and the Qingxin Xuanmen and were having a hard time breathing, and that there was no one to take over the sect...

After making a fuss for a long time, they actually wanted Jiang Xingchi to go to Guyang Sect and negotiate with Qingxin Xuanmen so that Zhenyu Sect could take a break and at least merchant ships could travel back and forth.

Jiang Xingchi listened to the advice very well and agreed immediately. Yuan Jie, the leader of the True Jade Sect, saw that Jiang Xingchi was easy to talk to, so he pulled Jiang Xingchi in to have a detailed chat.

Lin Bai couldn't follow, so he remembered Wang Yueying's letter and asked.

"Wang Yueying gave me a letter?" The female cultivator who had been standing behind Yuan Jie stepped forward and bowed, "I am Yuan Qiye."

Lin Bai took out the jade slip and Yuan Qiye took it.

"It really is a letter from Wang Yueying." Yuan Qiye first thanked Lin Bai, and then held the jade slip in his hand and took out a green leaf. When the jade slip met the green leaf, he saw fine words imprinted on the green leaf.

After reading it, Yuan Qiye put away the green leaves and invited Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to go out for a drink and chat.

This person is quite frank and will answer any questions. If it involves secrets, he will also speak frankly.

"Ancestor Xie Qingxuan?" After Lin Bai asked about Xie Qingxuan, Yuan Qiye shook his head, "Ancestor Xie also followed my ancestor to the south. He had just formed his infant at that time and was in his prime. However, he lacked the ambition to make progress and had no family to burden him, so he traveled far away."

"Do you know where he went?" Lin Bai asked with a smile, and did not forget to explain, "I heard from Brother Lei Song that Senior Xie was good at formations, so I was very curious."

"I don't know either." Yuan Qiye still shook his head. "I heard from the ancestor that ancestor Xie thought that all sects and families were a burden, so it would be better for him to travel around. Over the years, he has never had any dealings with those of us who migrated south, and I have never heard of his deeds."

Lin Bai asked again, and seeing that Yuan Qiye really didn't know, he stopped asking.

Since Xie Qingxuan had dealings with Xiang Wuhui and Gu Qingshan, and Qiaoshan was only six or seven thousand miles away from Wuqueshan, which was not too far for a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Xie Qingxuan never met with his old friends from Zhou Huishan, there must be another reason.

"What about the other senior in yellow robe?" Lin Bai asked again.

Among the second batch of five Yuanyings who went south, two people escaped, Xie Qingxuan was one of them, and the Taoist in yellow robe was the other.

“The Yellow Robe Patriarch…” Yuan Qiye sighed, “There is a Yellow Robe Patriarch’s life lamp in my home, but it went out sixty or seventy years ago.”

Passed away? Sixty or seventy years ago? Lin Bai couldn't help but think of the Jindan ancestor of Miaomiao's family.

At that time, the ancestor of the Zhu family was injured outside and died a few years after returning to Fengming Mountain. Later, Gu Qingshan also died.

The reason was that Gu Qingshan took someone out.

After asking carefully, I found out that the time was almost the same.

If the two are really related, then it should be Xie Qingxuan and the yellow-robed Taoist priest who set up the conspiracy, and Gu Qingshan and others contributed manpower and manpower.

I don’t know whether it was successful or not, but it cost a lot of manpower.

This trip was really worthwhile, Lin Bai was looking forward to visiting Shoutian Pavilion.
