The Wheel-Turning Master.

Carrying Miaomiao to Qinfang Pool.

The lotus flowers in Qinfang Pond are in full bloom, and the banks are covered with red flowers and green willows. There is a loft hidden among the dense and tall trees, and downstairs there is a stone platform, on which a woman in gray is sitting cross-legged and meditating.

"Ancestor." Lin Bai stepped forward to pay his respects.

Zou Mi opened his eyes and said nothing.

"Grandmaster," Lin Bai leaned forward, very respectfully, "I have been in seclusion for ten years, and I have often thought about your teachings. This is why I have made some progress. That is why I came here as soon as I came out of seclusion..."

"Miao Miao," Zou Mi interrupted. She looked at Miao Miao and said, "Didn't you tell him that I hate red tape and politeness and hypocrisy? I don't meet people like that."

"Grandmaster!" Miaomiao looked serious and solemn, and said, "Miaomiao naturally dare not forget the Grandmaster's instructions, so I told Master many times. But what Master said just now was not polite or hypocritical, but every word was sincere. Master's respect and love for the Grandmaster is from the bottom of his heart. Everything I did in Hengwu Mountain was also repeatedly instructed by Master, who said that I should treat Hengwu Mountain as my own home and the Grandmaster as my own ancestor! How can such a loyal person be said to be hypocritical? Grandmaster, you can see it clearly!"

Lin Bai suddenly discovered that Miaomiao was a pretty nice girl.

"As expected of a master and disciple." Zou Mi smiled, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, what do you want?"

"I have encountered some questions in my cultivation, so I have come to seek advice from you, old master." Lin Bai was very respectful, not showing any frivolous behavior in front of Aunt Gu.

"Tell me." Zou Mi said lightly.

Miaomiao was the most perceptive. She bowed and left obediently.

"I have been practicing diligently for ten years and have made some progress. But I just can't refine this gourd no matter what I do—" Lin Bai spread out his hand, revealing a thumb-sized gourd with black and white on it, forming the shape of the Tai Chi Bagua. "Now this gourd is connected to my life, it can be big or small, and can hold everything. But every time I want to explore its depths, I feel dazed, so I can't completely refine it."

At this point, Lin Bai added: "I once entered the Thousand Valleys Sand Land and received a legacy from Taoist Master Wuxiang. This gourd was also obtained from there. I believe the mysteries in the gourd were left by Taoist Master Wuxiang, so I want to ask the ancestor about Taoist Master Wuxiang."

"I remember Miaomiao and you Jiangyu also have gourds."

Zou Mi sat cross-legged, looked at the lotus in the pond, and said, "The gourds are divided, and the one in your hand should be the main one."

She suddenly smiled and said, "What the Taoist Wuxiang left behind is not ordinary. It is normal that I cannot refine it completely. It is just the obstacle of my realm."

Zou Mi looked at Lin Bai with disdain and said mockingly, "How can an ignorant child pull a big cart?"

"..." Lin Bai lowered his head and said nothing, thinking to himself, I'm here to ask you what's wrong with you!
"The Taoist Wuxiang rose to prominence in the East China Sea." Zou Mi gave some advice, "Among the seven Taoist masters in the world, the Taoist Wuxiang was the last to achieve enlightenment. It is rumored that the Taoist Wuxiang traveled all over the world and once visited the Northern Wasteland, where he had a relationship with the Taoist Xuanyin. Later, for some unknown reason, he provoked other Taoist masters and was strangled by them. At that time, there was a great battle that affected the four regions and one state."

"The Wuxiang Daoist master practices the great ways of time and space. Didn't he take precautions beforehand?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"The twin great ways are naturally the image of a king, but after all, they achieved enlightenment too late. And the people who besieged them are definitely not ordinary people." Zou Mi said indifferently, "Besides, how do you know that they are not prepared? The one with the character 'Wu' in Wanshou Mountain must have received teachings from the Taoist Master Wuxiang? In fact, there are many people in the four regions and one state who have received the teachings from the Taoist Master Wuxiang, and you are just one of them. Maybe he had already expected this day."

After she finished speaking, she stared into Lin Bai's eyes and continued, "You asked about the past of Taoist Wuxiang. I believe the secret hidden in the gourd is related to Taoist Wuxiang's past."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Every time I go deeper into it, it's like falling into the long river of time, but it's not easy to see clearly, so I feel dazed."

Zou Mi thought for a while and said, "You try again."

Lin Bai responded and immediately sat down cross-legged, holding the gourd tightly in his hand and closing his eyes to feel it.

For a moment, there was a gourd shape in the sea of ​​consciousness, in which the black and white yin and yang eight trigrams flowed slowly, which was even more strange.

The first wonderful thing about this gourd that was discovered was that it could hold all kinds of things. Even the magical sword intent could be collected by flying knives without damaging the gourd.

Another strange thing is that it can incorporate offensive magical powers, and even the thunder tribulation can block some of its power.

You can use it as you like, it can be big or small, and it seems like there is another world in between, able to encompass the sun and the moon.

Carefully feel the body of the gourd, and then enter it, you will find that all kinds of things are stored in it, including spiritual stones, flying knives, and various elixirs and spiritual herbs.

But if you try to go deeper, it will be like falling into a river and being drowned by the water.

Suddenly, I saw a beautiful forest and a man fighting his way through the thorns.

When I wanted to take a closer look, I found that it had been washed away by the water.

Faintly, Lin Bai felt that the person walking in the mountains was the Taoist Master Wuxiang, and what he saw should be the Taoist Master Wuxiang's past.

The Secret of Immortality and Creation is still half missing, and I believe we can find a clue or two from here.

After opening his eyes, Lin Bai shook his head, indicating that he was not getting anywhere.

"Perhaps you will know the secret only after you reach the Nascent Soul stage." Zou Mi smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Did you ask your old lover?"

Old lover? Which one?

"No one is as knowledgeable as you, Old Ancestor." Lin Bai said.

Zou Mi glanced at Lin Bai and said, "Have you forgotten about stealing treasures in the past? Maybe you can give it a try."

This requires the use of the power of the stone fragments. Lin Bai has naturally tried it, but with little success.

"The thing that Xuanyin Dao Master is looking for may be left by Wuxiang Dao Master." Zou Mi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Wuxiang Dao Master is following two avenues at the same time. You can go find that slutty fox. She is good at evading and has the ability to cross rivers and bridges. The person with the fate contract practices the theory of fate and yin and yang, which is to seek knowledge of the present and the future. He is a member of the Great Way of Time."

"Grandmaster, are you saying that we can ask Fairy and Xiuxiu for help?" Lin Bai realized that the stone plate was just like this. The long river of time was rushing, and the galaxy was crisscrossing, which was in line with the path of the two great ways.

"Why do you think the fox picked Xiuxiu? Isn't it because the man and the fox complement each other's shortcomings? Let them work together to help you, maybe you can get a glimpse of the secrets." Zou Mi said.

"Ancestor, you solved my doubts. I really don't know how to repay you!" Lin Bai bowed and saluted. "In the future, if you have any orders, I will do my best to help you!" "Well, go and get back the dragon scale that the fox stole!" Zou Mi said.

No, are you serious? Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "Ancestor, this is really impossible..."

Zou Mi sneered and waved his sleeves to chase them away.

Lin Bai bowed respectfully and was about to leave when he thought of Miaomiao. After all, she was his apprentice, raised as his own daughter, and he couldn't let her take care of mundane affairs anymore.

Not everyone is like Mo Yingcheng and Jing Situi, who can manage the household without interrupting their practice. Miaomiao is a girl with too many thoughts, and she might cause big trouble in the future.

"Grandmaster, Hengwu Mountain is now stable. Miaomiao is young and can't take care of many things, so why not let her stay by your side and do some work like picking lotus and serving tea." Lin Bai pleaded.

"Oh, the upper beam is not straight, and you are still worried about the lower beam? Being a teacher, but not setting a good example, is ridiculous." Zou Mi sneered.

After bowing three more times, Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally said goodbye.

When I returned to the main hall of Hengwu Mountain, I saw Miaomiao talking to a few people.

When everyone saw Lin Bai coming, they all bowed to him, but their expressions were a little strange, which made Lin Bai think of Gu Yao.

"I have already informed Old Master Zou that from now on you will be relieved of your duties here and just focus on serving him." Lin Bai said with a straight face.

"Yes, sir!" Miaomiao agreed immediately.

Lin Bai didn't say any more. He poked Miaomiao on the forehead and went straight to the Peach Blossom Spring without turning.

When they arrived at the place, they gave the mountain king a lotus seed. When they entered, they saw Xiuxiu holding the fox in the depths of the peach blossoms.

They were not outsiders, so after a few casual words, Lin Bai invited Fox and Xiuxiu to help.

"I was born to work hard, and everyone has to bother me." The fox sighed and wanted to make some conditions.

Xiuxiu covered the fox's mouth and responded on behalf of the fox.

Lin Bai took out the fragments of the stone plate, put them together, held them in one hand, and held the gourd tightly in the other hand.

Xiuxiu hugged the fox for support, with the shadow of the moon in the deep pool appearing behind her.

The fox's tail swung and pointed at the stone plate.

Lin Bai closed his eyes and came to the stone plate. He saw that the stone plate was full of vigorous energy and mist was rolling back and forth.

The Milky Way was hanging upside down, with a long river shadow and a gourd shape appearing in front of him.

Not long after, he felt the stone plate beneath him slowly turning, as if it was moving time and grinding countless stars.

The deeper I studied the gourd, the deeper I dug, and I found that there was indeed another world inside.

In the forest, with the sounds of animals and birds, a woman was walking leisurely.

Before long, I felt that the long river of time was pushing the stone plate to rotate faster and faster, obliterating many stars, and the light and shadows here began to flow rapidly.

It became increasingly unclear what was happening. I could only roughly see that the woman practiced day after day and never interacted with outsiders.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman walked out of the forest and wandered around. She climbed high mountains or rode the wind out to the sea. It seemed that she made no difference to anyone, whether ordinary or monk.

Later, the woman found a blue stone from somewhere, and the blue stone broke out of its cocoon and turned into a butterfly. The butterfly had broad wings and was extremely gorgeous.

Then the woman flew away on a butterfly, first soaring in the night sky, and then coming to a certain place under the starry sky, where she played chess with a man.

Then she sat opposite the old man, talking about something. Later, she stepped into the snow and faced a magical animal that looked like a rabbit or a fox.

In this way, the woman met several people in succession, and later a young man followed her and seemed to be teaching her.

After an unknown amount of time, a boundless knife mark appeared, and then the sky collapsed, the starry sky shifted, and the long river of time froze. The woman had disappeared without a trace.

The light and shadow were shattered, and the long river of time seemed to have dried up. The stone plate could no longer be pushed to turn, but the past had long been erased.

When he opened his eyes, the fragments of the stone plate in his hand were warm and the gourd was shining.

Xiuxiu's face was pale, with a strand of white hair on the end of her hair. The fox was panting heavily, obviously very tired.

"Master..." Huang Ruhua turned around and asked cautiously.

"Who told you to come out? Go back and meditate!" the fox said unhappily.

"I had a strange vision and was worried about you..." Huang Ruhua muttered, looked at Lin Bai again, and walked away dejectedly.

Lin Bai held Xiuxiu's hand, and the fox tail immediately swept away, then the tail wrapped around Xiuxiu's wrist, and the strand of white hair on Xiuxiu disappeared.

"I was thinking you were coming and I felt something was amiss. It turns out you were here." The fox jumped forward, looked closely at the fragments of the stone plate, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Lin Bai nodded, and roughly knew where to find the other half of the Longevity Creation Art. (End of this chapter)
