The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 321 The Thief Gets Beaten

The golden elixir calamity clouds slowly dissipated.

The phantom of the incarnation on Wanshou Mountain in the distance had disappeared, and the entire Wanshou Mountain was wrapped in a layer of frost and snow. Then, thick fog covered it, and the entire picture of Wanshou Mountain could no longer be seen.

A red light flashed out, went towards Wanshou Mountain, and plunged into the frosty fog.

Wu Muqian and others who were watching were stunned, and then they all rushed to Wanshou Mountain.

Throughout the thousands of miles of Zhou Hui Mountain, many rays of light were flying towards the Wanshou Mountain.

Lin Bai glanced at Yang Shu, who had survived the pill tribulation, and then looked at Cheng Yuanli, "You stay here and guard!"

After saying that, Lin Bai hurriedly chased after him.

The closer he got to Longevity Mountain, the colder he felt. The fear he felt when he was shocked by the amulet of the god transformation came back to him, and the chill seemed to penetrate his flesh, blood, and bones.

When we got closer, we saw that Wanshou Mountain was covered with layers of cold fog, and we couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Many Jindan cultivators have gathered here, all looking confused.

Now that Wumuchun, the only Yuanying left in Shoutian Pavilion, has entered Wanshou Mountain, Wumuqian was naturally surrounded by people, who asked him the reason.

Wumu Qian didn't understand what had happened and could only speak incoherently.

Lin Bai watched from afar, and vaguely felt that it was Fox and Sister Zhen who were causing trouble, and he was sure that the God of Shoutian Pavilion was not at home!
I just don't know what great things they did, or what treasures they stole! Lin Bai only hated Fox and Sister Zhen for being so narrow-minded. They ate meat with big mouthfuls but couldn't even take him a sip of soup!

Looking at the current situation at Wanshou Mountain, it seems that the restriction left by the ancestor Huashen has been triggered, which then brought in the cold ice, trapping the person to death.

This situation is more than ten times more powerful than the previous amulet of incarnation. I just don’t know if the fox and Sister Zhen have run out!
"The ancestor of your sect has revealed his Dharma image. Has there been another improvement?" Lin Bai saw the old cultivator Wumuduan and hurried over to ask.

Wu Muduan was a little confused, but still shook his head and said, "There was the roar of the ancestor earlier, it should be that the restriction left behind was triggered... As for why, that is unknown."

Lin Bai just asked casually. After all, Wumu Duan was just an old alchemist who didn't interfere in the affairs of the sect.

After waiting for a long time, a ray of light emerged from the layers of cold fog on Wanshou Mountain, and Wumuchun walked out.

Hundreds of Golden Cores immediately surrounded him. Some asked what happened to the Jade Pot Ancestor, some asked if it was an attack by foreign enemies, and some made rude remarks and asked Wumuchun to give an explanation.

Wumuchun's face looked very ugly, and he didn't explain anything. He just looked around at the Jindan and then gave an order to put Shoutian Pavilion under martial law.

Shoutian Pavilion is based on Zhouhui Mountain, which is vast for thousands of miles. Now Shoutian Pavilion does not have many people, so it naturally cannot impose martial law everywhere. It only surrounds Wanshou Mountain and strictly patrols the monks' residences.

At this point, even a fool would know that something was wrong. Some old Jindan even had tears in their eyes, and they all asked where the ancestor had gone.

"The ancestor is well!" Wu Muchun waved his sleeves, "I just went back to my hometown and will be back soon! You should guard the mountain gate carefully and don't cause any more trouble!"

Wumuchun didn't explain the reason much. After making the arrangements, he drove everyone away.

Lin Bai was an outsider, so he just watched for a while and then went back obediently.

Yang Shu has succeeded in forming the elixir and is now recovering from his injuries.

The people who came to watch the ceremony had already dispersed and returned to their homes.

When Cheng Yuanli saw Lin Bai coming back, he couldn't wait to ask, "What happened? What happened?"

"I don't know either. I just heard that their ancestor Huashen returned to his hometown." Lin Bai spread his hands.

The two stared blankly for a long time, and no one came to ask for help. Wumuqian had gone to an unknown place, and Wumuya, who usually followed him, was nowhere to be seen. Only the monks patrolling back and forth were constantly led by Jindan.

"Did something get lost from Shoutian Pavilion?" Cheng Yuanli finally came back to his senses.

"..." Lin Bai shook his head and whispered, "Don't discuss it."

"I saved myself the trouble." Cheng Yuanli was also somewhat afraid, but he still couldn't help but say, "Xia Fenyi just died, and someone else came to provoke Shoutian Pavilion again. Aren't you afraid that the God-Transforming Ancestor will come back to settle old scores?"

Lin Bai did not say anything. Now that Shoutian Pavilion was without the God of Transformation to guard it, it had really become a piece of fat meat. All dogs and foxes would come to take a bite! However, the restrictions of the God of Transformation were very serious. It would be difficult for a Yuanying who did not know the situation to get out. The fox and Sister Zhen must have been prepared. Otherwise, a Yuanying and a Jindan would not have enough strength to tickle the God of Transformation.

But now Xie Qingxuan has not been tracked down yet, and there is a fire in the backyard again. If Shoutian Pavilion does not catch Xie Qingxuan, or find the criminal this time, I am afraid that everyone will say that the Jade Pot Patriarch has fallen!
In Lin Bai's opinion, Shoutian Pavilion is now in trouble both internally and externally.

Chasing Xie Qingxuan was futile, and Jiang Xingchi who was accompanying them definitely had no good intentions, so there might be more twists and turns.

However, when Shoutian Pavilion was invaded, it could only feel powerless and furious. The dignified Huashen Sect actually responded by imposing martial law.

The series of incidents have revealed the weakness of the Shoutian Pavilion, which is that there are too few Yuanying cultivators. When Zhou Huishan was in turmoil, there were nearly 20 Yuanying cultivators. Although they were fighting among themselves, no outsiders dared to cause trouble.

Now, there are only four Yuanying in Shoutian Pavilion, one of which is an old man from Zhou Huishan. Moreover, relying on the presence of the Ancestor Huashen, they have rarely repaired their defenses. But once the Ancestor Huashen, who is like a stabilizing force, leaves them alone, the Shoutian Pavilion, which is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, will be like a piece of paper.

Lin Bai estimated that when today's events spread, outsiders might be afraid of the power of the God of Transformation and dare not take any action for a while, but the momentum of Shoutian Pavilion would definitely be greatly reduced.

If the God-Transforming Patriarch could show up, everything would be fine, and everyone would respect Tiange as the master of Zhouhui Mountain. But if the God-Transforming Patriarch did not show up for a long time, it would be hard to avoid people's suspicion.

"Don't think too much about it. It's none of my business anyway." Lin Bai said as if it was none of his business, "After a month or two, when Yang Shu has recovered from his injuries, you can take him back to Qiaoshan."

Lin Bai felt uneasy and just wanted Yang Shu and Cheng Yuanli to go back first. The former was an old friend and brother-in-law, and the latter was an honest gentleman, neither of them was an outsider.

"Senior Jiang ordered you and me to stay, I can't leave." Cheng Yuanli immediately refused, "But it's really not peaceful here, we should let Yang Shu go back first."

Lin Bai tried to persuade Cheng Yuanli again, but seeing that he could not convince him, he stopped forcing him.

Most of these honest gentlemen have rigid personalities. Lin Bai plans to learn from Miaomiao in the future to see how she plays with ginger fish.

The two chatted for a few more words, and when Lin Bai saw that there was nothing else to do, he returned to his guest house to practice.

When I opened the door and entered the cave, I felt a slight chill.

When he looked up, he saw a green fox lying on the cushion with its eyes closed and trembling slightly.

Lin Bai sighed, feeling extremely sad: This slutty fox didn’t think about himself when he was eating meat, and came looking for him as soon as he was beaten!
I used to envy thieves for eating and drinking, but now I see thieves getting beaten!
There was no way out. The trouble had come to his door, and Lin Bai could only close it.

"There are pursuers outside!" Lin Bai moved closer and felt even colder. He knew that the fox was suffering a lot.

However, the fox was able to escape from the restriction of the God Transformation, which shows that it has extraordinary abilities. I just don’t know what happened to Sister Zhen.

"Only Wumuchun is here in Shoutian Pavilion. Don't think I don't know." The fox still had his eyes closed, with his head wrapped in his long tail. His voice was no longer lazy as before, but trembling and weak.

"What should I do?" Lin Bai asked.

"Let me rest for a while." The fox's mouth was not as foul as before.

"What if the spirit comes back?" This is what Lin Bai was afraid of.

"I won't be back for a while." said the fox.

"Wu Muchun is an expert in yin and yang and numerology, so maybe he can track us down." Lin Bai said again.

"Don't worry, he can't predict it." The fox's teeth seemed to be chattering when he spoke. Lin Bai thought about it, and seeing that there was nothing missing, he asked in a low voice: "Fairy, where did Mu Zhen go?"

When the fox heard this, its tail immediately swung, and its whole body trembled, cursing: "That little bitch plotted against me! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

The more he cursed, the angrier he became. His fox fur stood up. "All the way from Daoyin Sect, she first lured me out of the sect, then deliberately let me capture her, and then used sweet words to trick me into joining her, and finally... finally..."

Perhaps because he had lost face in the end, the fox was too embarrassed to continue. Anyway, it was not known whether it was because of the cold or the anger, but the fox's fur kept shaking.

Lin Bai has suffered from being a fox for a long time, and now he is in a much better mood.

"Fairy, what are you planning? Is it successful?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

The fox snorted twice but didn't say much, but he was clearly proud of it, so it must have worked.

Lin Bai was becoming more and more itchy. He thought that if he could take a stroll in the treasure land of transformation, he would gain a lot.

Seeing that the fox was unwilling to talk more, Lin Bai shamelessly stepped forward, knelt down, took out various pills and presented them to him.

The Yuanying fox naturally looked down on these things, so he simply ignored them.

Lin Bai asked again what kind of medicine was needed to heal the wound, but the fox still remained silent.

But it looks like the injury is serious.

Wanshou Mountain is the place where the gods sit and guard. The restrictions left there cannot be shaken by a tiny Nascent Soul.

Lin Bai guessed that Sister Zhen and the fox had been lurking for a long time and must have been prepared. They must not have been suppressed directly by the ban, but ran too slowly and were attacked by the cold air.

Of course, it is possible that the fox was not running slowly, but that Sister Zhen did something bad, which made the fox run slower.

It’s not easy to ask about this kind of thing in detail. After all, foxes love their reputation. I’ll just ask Sister Zhen later.

"Fairy, Shoutian Pavilion is empty now. If you can leave, you'd better leave as soon as possible. If it's too late, Xia Yufeng and others will return, and it will be difficult to leave." Lin Bai felt sorry for Xiuxiu and didn't want the fox to die here.

"If I could leave, I would come to find you?" The fox finally spoke again, looking very aggrieved, not looking like a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator at all.

Lin Bai was helpless. Since he couldn't leave, he had to think about healing his wounds.

After pondering for a while, Lin Bai proposed a method of letting the intention of destruction enter the body and then eliminate the coldness in the body.

This is how Lin Bai saved himself and Bi Huanqiu from the pain they suffered when they were hit by the amulet of incarnation.

"Let's give it a try. Let's use a living fox as a dead fox doctor." After listening to Lin Bai's story, the fox really became interested.

She has the body of a Nascent Soul and is a demon beast, so her body is strong. She only lets Lin Bai do what he wants after she has removed her defenses.

The sense of destruction entered the fox's body, and what he could endure was only twice as much as Lin Bai.

After working hard for a long time, Lin Bai was very tired, but the fox became more energetic.

"It is indeed effective, but my body has not been tempered enough, and I can't withstand enough sword power. Old Monster Yuhu is proficient in ice magic, and I am attacked by ice fog, which will take a while to get rid of." The fox was still limp on the cushion, with a layer of ice fog covering his eyes.

"How long will it take for it to be gone?" Lin Bai asked.

"Once a day, I have to do some recovery, which will take about half a year." said the fox.

"So long?" Lin Bai sighed, "My realm is low, and it is very strenuous to heal my wounds every day. It is difficult to sustain it for long..."

"Forget it, I'm going to die anyway. Just help me take care of Xiuxiu from now on. Oh, if I'm discovered, you won't survive either, right?" said the fox.

Even now, she is still stingy.

Lin Bai cursed in his heart for a while, but didn't say any more words to the fox and closed his eyes to practice.

In the following days, Shoutian Pavilion was under martial law, especially Wanshou Mountain, where no one could approach. Many Jindan went out to investigate any anomalies.

Lin Bai went to see Wumuqian every now and then, but always came back empty-handed and had no idea what he was busy with.

There was no choice, Lin Bai found Yang Shu.

"Haha, it's just a matter of forming a pill, how difficult is it for me? No need to congratulate me." Although Yang Shu's realm was not stable yet, he had already shown the demeanor of a master.

"It's not that." Lin Bai told the story of Yang Shu's transformation into a god and his powerful performance on the day he formed the elixir.

"At that time, I was only concerned with dealing with the thunder, and I had no idea what was happening in the outside world." Yang Shu said.

"I know your realm is not stable, but you have to go back." Lin Bai said.

Yang Shu had always worked in Xinyifang and was a very smart person. After hearing this, he thought about it and nodded.

"I wanted Brother Cheng to see you off, but he refused to leave me alone. You should think of a solution." Lin Bai said.

Yang Shu tilted his head and thought for a while, then clapped his hands, "Leave it to me!" He then asked, "What about you?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Lin Bai smiled.

Yang Shu knew Lin Bai's ability. "These people in the Northern Wilderness are arrogant. They are not as gentle as my sister, and not as pretty as Feixue. Don't be so unrestrained and make Old Ancestor Gu unhappy."

What the hell is going on? Lin Bai pulled him up and went to find Cheng Yuanli together.

“Brother Cheng!” Yang Shu wiped his eyes vigorously as soon as they met. “I feel something in my heart. Something seems to have happened to my old wife at home… She has been with me through thick and thin for decades. I have been wandering outside seeking opportunities. Now I have made progress, but my realm is not stable yet. I am afraid that the road to returning home will be difficult…”

"I remember that your Taoist partner is the girl from the Gai family of the Tianchi Sect, right? Didn't you get married just recently?" Cheng Yuanli asked curiously.

"I have been in love with her for a long time!" Yang Shu said.

"Well, Brother Cheng, just send him back. Come back if he can't take care of it. They are a loving couple and they should see each other for the last time." Lin Bai sighed.

"Junior brother, a flower like you... a person with broad mind, also understands Yang Shu's intention?" Cheng Yuanli was very surprised.

"..." Lin Bai was speechless for a moment, only feeling a severe headache.

After hesitating for a while, Cheng Yuanli, a kind gentleman, naturally could not beat two shameless people, so he finally agreed.

"Miao Miao goes to my sister and acts pitiful whenever she has a little trouble. Thin-skinned nice people just fall for it! Of course, it's also because Miao Miao is so good at coaxing people, and my sister has been spoiling her for your sake." Afterwards, Yang Shu even boasted about himself.

Now that things have been decided, Shoutian Pavilion is under martial law and I cannot get out. I can only look for Wumuqian to help, but I can't find him.

More than a month later, Wumuqian finally showed up.

He looked old, as if he had been on a long journey. His complexion was not very good either, probably because he was upset.
