The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 325 Escape
The cave was dark, with no sound of human or animal, only the gurgling of a stream.

The fox jumped onto a blue stone familiarly and lay down, covering its head and face with its tail, looking as if it didn't want to move anymore.

Lin Bai knew that the fox was getting scared again.

Without trying to persuade him, Lin Bai found a place to sit down, closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.

A faint light appeared on the cracks of the stone plate, and outside the mist there was a ray of emerald green and a faint moonlight white.

As soon as I thought about it, fog came in, forming the image of Qiaoshan's former residence. Then the fog parted and the moonlight poured in.

Lin Bai was telling Xiuxiu that he would be returning home soon and there was no need to worry.

After doing all this, Lin Bai continued to meditate quietly, and his desire for the stone fragments became stronger.

Get rid of impatience and depression, calm your mind and don't let external things affect your emotions and judgement.

"There are good omens ahead, but there is also a sense of danger. It seems that this journey will be very difficult..."

After pondering for a long time, Lin Bai opened his eyes and saw that the fox also had its eyes open, looking at him quietly.

"Jiang Xingchi was not a decent person and did not inform you in advance, which put you in danger. It seems that he was unhappy about you sleeping with the girl from the Jiang family." The fox started to instigate.

"Senior Jiang often uses chess to describe people. He considers himself a chess piece, and so do we. Before we parted, he reminded me of this. How could I blame him?"

Lin Bai was very open-minded. "Besides, I sent Yang Shu and Cheng Yuanli away first because I expected this day to come. Of course, if it weren't for the fairy, I would have run away long ago!"

"Haha, it's obviously you who wanted to find out more, that's why you refused to leave." said the fox.

In fact, there were many reasons why he did not escape in time. On the one hand, Lin Bai did not expect Jiang Xingchi to attack so quickly. On the other hand, the fox was indeed seriously injured.

Lin Bai estimated that given the fox's temperament, it should have left long ago. But the reason why it stayed was probably because it felt that Shoutian Pavilion was like a leaky sieve and wanted to make another fortune.

Of course, the most important thing is that you are too brave.

Just like this time's sudden counterattack, it was because they thought there was no one in Shoutian Pavilion and the defense was insufficient.

"When do we set off?" Lin Bai asked.

The fragments of the stone disc continued to vibrate, as if the mother had heard the news about her son and was eager to reunite with him.

The fox twisted its tail and said nothing.

If it were someone else, Lin Bai would definitely say that he was doing great things and cherishing his life, but thinking that this was asking Fox to take risks for him, he was too embarrassed to say it.

"Fairy, how did you find this place?" Lin Bai came over to chat.

"The little bitch found it." The fox twitched its tail. "As for how she found this place, I'm afraid only she knows. I guess it might be related to the wood demon."

"Then how did Sister Zhen predict that Patriarch Yuhu would definitely leave?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"You couldn't find out in bed, so why should I? The little bitch has a noble background, and her family is probably even wealthier than Shoutian Pavilion." The fox's tone was sour and a little angry, and it was obvious that he was still annoyed with Mu Zhen.

"The incident at Jiuzha Mountain must have been planned for a long time. This has greatly humiliated Shoutian Pavilion, and the old place of Zhouhui Mountain is going to be in turmoil again."

Lin Bai also sighed, "But what if the Jade Pot Patriarch returns? Who can withstand his attack then?"

"So Lao Xiang has no choice but to move forward and not retreat." The fox chuckled, "He has always been bold and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal."

Lin Bai didn't know what to say.

The two of them were in a daze for a long time. The fox gritted his teeth and finally stood up, "Give me a fruit."

She added, "You and the little bitch got it in the Endless River Secret Realm."

During the previous trial at Jiuzha Mountain, Lin Bai climbed to the top of the mountain, restrained his sword intent, saw the plum tree and the chessboard, and obtained nine fruits.

He gave one to Zhen Jie, Lin Bai took eight for himself, and later gave one to Aunt Gu. Because the plum fruit was strange and had a strong destructive meaning, Lin Bai didn't know its effect, so he didn't dare to show it to others.

"Mine belongs to the fairy. Even if you don't tell me, I will give it to Xiuxiu in the future." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Xiu Xiu naturally doesn't need me to worry about her." The fox sighed, "I still have a useless apprentice."

"That's right. I also have two disciples. I pity the kind-hearted masters in the world." Lin Bai immediately took out a fruit and presented it to him, then asked, "What is the effect of this fruit?"

"To see death and life, to be destroyed and then rebuilt, is to establish the foundation of the great way. You will understand it in the future." said the fox.

"Helps with forming a baby?" Lin Bai was shocked.

The fox nodded, took the fruit, and felt much happier. "Let's go, son-in-law."

She uttered an unpleasant sound and jumped forward.

Lin Bai hurried to catch up.

One man and one fox went deeper into the cave.

The further you go in, the quieter it becomes, with only the occasional sound of fish leaping out of the dark stream.

After walking for a while, about a hundred miles, they had no idea how many miles they had gone underground.

The streams dried up, the air became damp and cold, and no living creatures were seen.

After walking for a long time, we suddenly found that the road ahead was cut off and there was no trace of it.

"It seems they haven't noticed yet." The fox walked forward and stared at a rock in front of him.

"Right here?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"That's right." The fox nodded and said with a smile: "Don't think too highly of the God Transformation Ancestor. In fact, we are all not much different. You like to use storage rings, and high-level cultivators can naturally open up a place to store treasures."

"Is this a small world opened up by the Jade Pot Patriarch?" Lin Bai understood.

"No." The fox seemed to have remembered something he was proud of, and actually grinned, "This was opened up by the late Master Yaoguang of Zhou Huishan, and later it was occupied by Master Yuhu."

"Is this the entrance?" Lin Bai didn't dare to move forward, but looked at the fox.

"The entrance is on the Wanshou Mountain." The fox shook his head slightly. "The small world is within this big world. It is being consumed and assimilated by the power of the Great Dao. If it is not maintained, it will slowly disappear into the big world. This place is a weak spot of the small world—"

She looked at Lin Bai and continued to explain: "It's like the clothes of a beautiful nun. Without someone to take care of them, the clothes will always fall down. Now that the clothes are about to fall off, the beautiful scenery at the chest will naturally be exposed first. People who know the business will reach in and touch it."

This fox was so weird that Lin Bai didn't know how to respond.

"The little bitch is carrying the inheritance, so she went in and touched him to her heart's content." The fox laughed.

"This..." Lin Bai was still puzzled, "The owner of the small world has changed, but didn't the Jade Pot Patriarch notice it? Why hasn't he blocked it yet?"

"Ancestor Yaoguang and I both practiced the Great Way of Space, but Ancestor Yuhu practiced the Great Way of Infinite Ice." The fox raised his head, very proud. "Even high-level cultivators are not omnipotent. But after what happened to that little bitch, Yuhu will definitely repair this place when he returns. Then there will be no chance."

So you don't leave just to make some extra money, right? That's too light a beating!
"Is there any danger in it?" Lin Bai already felt that it was extremely dangerous, but also felt that a great opportunity was ahead.

"A little bit..." The fox trembled, as if afraid.

Since there is one thing, it is very dangerous.

The man and the fox sat down and whispered for a long time, rehearsing various possibilities.

"I feel uneasy." The fox looked at the weak spot and spoke in a rare serious tone.

"I have a bad feeling too." Lin Bai had never done such a big thing before. Taking things from a Spiritual Transformation Realm master who was also guarding him, he was really unsure.

Although foxes are good at escaping, they have not yet recovered from their injuries and are in the heart of Shoutian Pavilion. If it were only Zou Mi, it wouldn't be a problem, but they were afraid that Kong Shu and Chi Shangxing had already turned back.

"Let's go." The fox was much more determined. "Since we're already here, how can we go into a mountain of treasures empty-handed?"

As he spoke, he rolled up Lin Bai and leaped towards the rocks in front.

Just like a fallen leaf falling into a calm lake, creating ripples, the man and the fox were immediately submerged in the rocks.

I felt dizzy and as if I was crossing the sky and the earth, and at the same time, I felt like I was frozen in ice.

The sea of ​​consciousness was in great pain, and the spiritual power of the whole body was suppressed, and he could not feel what was happening outside. When he opened his eyes again, Lin Bai found himself in a place with fierce cold air.

The spiritual energy here is as abundant as water, with a light mist rising.

I couldn't see far, and I didn't know where the edge of this world was. I just felt it was vast and boundless, as if I was in an ice country, and I felt lonely.

Looking left and right, every ten steps or so there is a white jade platform half a person's height, on which various objects are supported.

Looking closely, most of them are jade slips, as well as feathers, broken swords, star plates, and even bracelets.

There were words in front of the jade platform, briefly introducing what they were. Most of them were skills, most of which could be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage, and there were also various kinds of rare treasures, all of which had extraordinary origins.

Although these objects were on the white jade platform, they were all imprisoned in ice, and one could feel the chill if one got a little closer.

These ices are the restrictions in the small world. Each object has a corresponding formation, supported by a jade platform, and these treasures can be nourished by spiritual energy at all times to ensure that their power is not lost.

"There are more things." The fox stood on Lin Bai's head, shuddered, and said, "I guess it's because the old family is in turmoil, so many more inheritance items have been sent here."

"I felt it." Lin Bai took out the fragment of the stone plate and saw the fragment vibrating in his palm, as if it was moving forward.

The fox stared at the fragment, "A broken treasure?"

"Probably." Lin Bai followed the guidance in his heart and took a step forward.

Soon, after walking more than a hundred steps, passing many treasures, they arrived in front of a jade platform.

I saw a fragment on the jade platform, wrapped in layers of ice.

The fragment was extremely ordinary, and there was nothing mysterious about it. However, as Lin Bai approached, it slowly vibrated and emitted a faint light.

Looking at the text in front of the jade platform, it is extremely brief: The thing that the Lord of Xuanyin Road is seeking has an unknown origin and does not show any magic.

Another Taoist master appeared, but it is unknown what the relationship between this Taoist master Xuanyin and Taoist master Wuxiang is, whether they are enemies or friends.

However, since it was what the Taoist master was looking for, it must be extremely important. But Shoutian Pavilion put it aside and did not go to the Taoist master to curry favor with him. I don't know why.

"This is newly delivered. It wasn't here when the little bitch and I came here before." said the fox.

"How do I get it?" Lin Bai asked.

"Once the restriction is triggered, we must run away quickly!" The fox stood on Lin Bai's head and rubbed its two paws together, as if it was afraid, but also a little excited.

"Alas." The fox sighed, "I really owe you!"

There was helplessness in her words, but her tone was very proud. She jumped down from Lin Bai's head, her figure became ethereal, and when she landed on the ground, the green-skinned fox was gone. Instead, she was a woman wearing soft green gauze and a jade crown on her head.

Lin Bai had known the fox for a long time and had known that she had the ability to change shape, but he had never seen it before. He didn't expect to have the good fortune to do so today.

Looking closely, he was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a slightly pale face, an oval face, and eyes as deep as pools. He did not look cunning, but rather had a sense of elegance and luxury.

She looks like a legal wife.

If he had seen it somewhere else, Lin Bai would never believe that this person would coax Gu Jiuzhong and Yang Shaoan to go to the Wuzhe Conference.

"Fairy, you are so beautiful." Lin Bai was very familiar with the fox, so his words were very direct.

Li Chenyu snorted twice and said disdainfully: "You only know how to look at people's skin, that's all you can do!"

After she finished her ridicule, she took off the jade hairpin from her head and said, "This is a gift from my master..."

As she spoke, she paced back and forth, clearly wanting to pick out another one.

"Don't move!" Li Chenyu said nervously, "The restrictions are different. If you move them a little, people will find out."

"I save that." Lin Bai responded and looked carefully at the ice on the jade table. Unexpectedly, the fragments of the stone plate in his hand suddenly became hot.

In an instant, this small world seemed to be out of time and space, and the tremors disappeared.

Then the frozen fragments seemed to be detached from the world, and they passed through the thick ice and fell into Lin Bai's hands.

The two pieces of stone fragments intersected and connected tightly, and then the strange phenomenon disappeared and the small world trembled again.

Li Chenyu was furious. She stopped choosing and pointed to the nearest jade platform with her jade hairpin. Then she pointed with her other hand and took out the frozen scales on the jade platform.

"Let's go!" Li Chenyu stepped forward, picked up Lin Bai, and flew into the sky.

"Who trespasses into my forbidden area?" Soon, Zou Mi's angry voice was heard.

Li Chenyu left the small world and appeared on Wanshou Mountain.

Then he waved the jade hairpin in his hand, starlight flashed, and the person disappeared.

At this moment, the mighty power of the God that covered the sky and the sun came layer by layer, and an extremely huge shadow appeared, and then the palm fell and grabbed towards the void.

"Moon Shadow!"

A dark pool appeared with the moon shadow shattered in it. Li Chenyu borrowed Xiu Xiu's moon shadow's method but still vomited blood. Fortunately, he escaped.

“You dare to show off your mere escape technique?” Zou Mi shouted, and dozens of golden lights swirled around, “Suppress the demons and monsters! Stop!”

Li Chenyu's incarnation disappeared and he turned back into the form of a green fox, then fell from the void.

"The power of the incarnation is so strong that I can hardly withstand it even if it's only one hundredth of its power!" The fox was held in Lin Bai's arms, still very angry.

"Li Chenyu! It turns out that you are the one who stole the treasure! You have done it again and again. Do you think that there is no one in Shoutian Pavilion?" Zou Mi stood in the air, holding a golden ring in his hand. His face showed no joy or anger, but was filled with murderous intent.

There were flashes of light from time to time in the distance, and it was obvious that all the Jindan from Shoutian Pavilion had arrived.

"How shameless!" The fox was in Lin Bai's arms, shivering from the cold, but still stubborn. "You can rob other people's homes, but you don't let others rob yours? What's the logic?"

"Looking for death!" Zou Mi threw the golden ring in his hand, with a powerful force of suppression. Mountains, rocks, trees, and even all things bowed to it.

Zou Mi knew that the fox was good at escaping, so he activated the formation again in order to trap it to death.

At this moment, countless flying knives flew out and headed towards the golden ring.

"How can a small golden elixir stop me!"

Zou Mi stepped forward, his figure turned into a shadow, and then the golden ring broke all the flying knives.

Just as he was about to step forward to capture her, Zou Mi suddenly stopped, frowned and took back the golden ring.

The golden ring fell into his hand, and there were actually fine knife marks on it, and the knife intent was deeply embedded in it, which seemed to wipe out the spirituality of the golden ring.

"It's really hard to get into the Taoist temple of Wuxiang Taoist Master..."

Zou Mi put away the golden ring, looked extremely solemn, and continued to search southwards.

This time Shoutian Pavilion was invaded again, which was a disgrace. Zou Mi knew that the responsibility was on him, but judging from the situation, the fox was seriously injured, and all of Jindanlin's revolving flying knives were destroyed. The man and the fox were both trapped and fighting at the end of their strength.

The fox spirit was skilled in the art of escape, and was very familiar with the formations in various places in Shoutian Pavilion. She jumped and escaped continuously, and rushed to the south at an extremely fast speed.

However, Zou Mi behind him had already become ruthless, like a thorn in the flesh, and was ready to fight to the death.

"My heart is trembling. There is great danger ahead." The fox transmitted the message in a trembling voice.

"I feel it too." Lin Bai held the gourd in his hand, blood on the corner of his mouth. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then said, "Go north!"

"People from Shoutian Pavilion came from the north, how can they go further north?" said the fox as he ran.

"There is hope to the north." Lin Bai looked towards the southern sky and saw two beams of light coming from a very far distance.

The fox also saw it, "When it rains, it pours. Kong Shu and Chi Shangxing are back!"

As he spoke, the fox's tail tightly wrapped around Lin Bai, bypassed Zou Mi's attack, and then fled to the north.
