The Wheel-Turning Master.

The snake corpse fell and the rocks collapsed.

The abyss was deep and everyone had no control over themselves. They could only move with difficulty, but they could only chase the snake corpse.

After falling for a short while, they saw many small holes on the wall of the cave, emitting a foul smell. Countless snakes, insects, rats and ants crawled out of them, making a mess.

"The heavy snow presses down on the green pine, but the green pine stands firm... Ouch!" Wu Muqian turned into a green pine for only a few breaths when he was hit by a falling rock weighing ten thousand pounds. He cried out in pain but still held on to He Wenyao tightly.

Lu Qingyin was covered in dust and dirt. She dodged and moved downwards, closely following Wumuqian, helping to break the rocks from time to time.

Mu Zhen had put away the Zixiao bottle at this moment, took out an umbrella for protection, and looked for Lin Pei.

But the place was becoming increasingly chaotic, with the sounds of rocks collapsing, snakes and insects screaming miserably, and the vision being obstructed, it was impossible to find anyone.

There is no other way but to protect yourself carefully and move on.

I didn't know how long I had been enduring the suffering, nor how many feet I had fallen into the abyss, but suddenly I saw a faint shadow of light beneath me.

After falling for a while, he saw the outline of the shadow, which should be a green turtle shell.

Various rocks and corpses fell down, causing shallow ripples on the phantom of the tortoise shell, and then all things were bounced away.

Seeing this strange sight, Mu Zhen wanted to take a look over there, but the rocks kept falling and he could not control himself. He had no choice but to hide at the edge of the stone wall.

After an unknown amount of time, the landslide seemed to have stopped, with only scattered rubble falling from above, and no more huge rocks falling.

There was an endless stream of shrill and miserable cries, and it was obvious that the monsters and wild beasts that lived here had also been badly injured.

Mu Zhen crawled out from the rubble at the edge of the mountain wall and took three pills in a row.

More than ten feet away, He Wenyao was seriously injured and unconscious, and Wu Muqian hugged him and cried softly.

"I only have this one friend..." Wu Muqian really treated He Wenyao as his own brother.

Lu Qingyin frowned, holding a whisk in her hand, and said unhappily: "He has a unique destiny, you can feed him the elixir and let him rest."

In the distance, Yu Baili looked disheveled, with disheveled hair. He was holding a knife and taking a pill.

He didn't dare to get close to them and just looked around timidly.

"Lin Zhuanlun?" Mu Zhen looked around and shouted.

After a while, a pile of rubble was arched up, and Lin Bai pulled Pei Ning out.

Mu Zhen looked carefully. Lin Zhuanlun was in tatters, but Pei Ning was fine. It was obvious that Lin Zhuanlun used his tempered body to help Pei Ning block a lot of damage.

Thinking of the fact that he had slept with her many times but never been treated like this, Mu Zhen snorted coldly, said nothing, and just sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to recover.

"Muzhen..." A weak voice came from a yellow and white cocoon, and then the cocoon was torn open, and Ying Caidie crawled out of it all wet, gasping for breath. She looked at Muzhen, "I've suffered a big loss this time, you have to compensate me."

She looked extremely weak, but there were no wounds on her body, and her face was not red or yellow, which showed that the snake venom had disappeared.

"..." Mu Zhen did not find this magical power of emerging from a cocoon as a butterfly strange. She opened her eyes helplessly, threw a bottle of elixir over, and said, "You can't blame me for this. It was a risky thing."

"I came with you." Ying Caidie slumped on the ground, her voice weak, but still a money-grubber. "I was forced to use this method. Do you know how long I have to keep it alive?"

Although Mu Zhen has always had bad intentions, she is a descendant of a noble family and is a reasonable person. She sighed and said, "Good sister, when we get out, I will introduce you to a senior. Your skills are quite similar to his. I will ask him to give you some pointers."

"It's better to just exchange it for spirit stones." Although Ying Caidie was weak, she still had to get down to business.

"..."Mu Zhen took a deep breath and simply stopped talking, closing his eyes and meditating.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning sat down, and after taking the pills, they both felt like they had survived a calamity.

But at this moment, Lin Bai did not relax at all, and his sense of good and bad luck did not disappear, but became stronger.

Good and bad fortune are interdependent, and both point to the phantom of the tortoise shell two or three miles away.

But he was so panicked when he fell just now that he only glanced at the shadow of the tortoise shell and had no idea what was underneath.

But there was nothing unusual at the moment, and they were all injured, so they could only rest and recover first.

Everyone had the same idea and took pills to heal their wounds and cure the poison.

This time they attacked the green snake first, and then there was a landslide, so everyone was seriously injured. Not only did their spiritual energy dry up, but their muscles and bones were injured, and their internal organs were also damaged.

However, all of them are golden elixirs that have gone through many storms. External injuries to bones and flesh are nothing, and broken internal organs can be healed. But the snake venom has already penetrated into the skin, and the elixir has little effect and can only barely stop the internal invasion.

Lin Bai's injuries were not serious. With the protection of Hunyuan body, his internal and external injuries were mostly healed in a short time. However, the snake venom was hard to remove. However, the circulation of the Five Elements Qi was slowly eliminating the snake venom.

After half a day, Lin Bai opened his eyes and saw that everyone was still meditating, except Ying Caidie, who seemed fine. She just sat next to Mu Zhen, as if she was afraid that Mu Zhen would deny his debt.

As for the rest of the people, except Yu Baili who was the least affected by the snake venom and remained silent at a distance, the others had a faint red and yellow color on their faces, as if covered with a thin layer of ice.

"Are you okay?" Ying Caidie looked Lin Bai up and down and said, "Daoyou Zhuanlun, I didn't realize that you are the most capable."

"I'm not as good as Senior Sister Ying in terms of magical powers." Lin Bai said.

"Alas, I just have no choice but to save my life." Ying Caidie sighed. It was obvious that breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly was like the wood demon escaping from its shell. Both were life-saving methods that could not be used lightly.

Lin Bai didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only remain silent and get up to check on He Wenyao's injuries.

"Look, you have been injured so much to protect Pei Ning, but at least you two are true Taoist partners who trust each other with life and death. Even if you die, she is willing to die for you." Wu Muqian didn't know what was wrong with him, but he was very sad. He held He Wenyao's hand and sighed, "But what about my brother? He is not good at fighting, but for you and Fairy Lu, he keeps rushing to the front! Tell me, he has served Fairy Lu for decades, but they never touched his hand..." "Oh." Lin Bai didn't know what to say.

"Brother Wumu, Brother Zhuanlun, you don't understand..." He Wenyao had regained consciousness, the redness on his face had faded slightly, and most of the wounds on his body had healed. Although he was still very weak, he opened his eyes and said seriously, "Brother Zhuanlun, love in this world cannot be forced. It was a blessing for you to meet Pei Ning and to have started out with her in humble circumstances. Later, you became Taoist companions, which was naturally a great blessing. But it's different for me. In this life, I have seen the fairy many times and said many things to her. She has scolded me, beaten me, ridden me, and stabbed me with a sword, which means that she has me in her heart. Isn't this also a great blessing?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and Wu Muqian looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Good, good, good!" Yu Baili in the distance suddenly clapped his hands in praise, saying, "Brother Yao is absolutely right! If the fairy ignores me and just treats me as if I don't exist in the world, it will be unpleasant. I would rather she beat me, scold me, and kill me with a knife. As long as I am not killed by her, it's fine."

As he spoke, Yu Baili was still looking at Lu Qingyin.

He Wenyao was not angry with Yu Baili, but still shook his head and said, "Just let her kill you, that's fine. She must feel a little sorry for killing you. She might dream of you when she sits quietly at midnight, and think of you occasionally when she travels during the day. Isn't this better than never having you in her heart? Even if she is thinking about Lin Zhuanlun again, she will always think of you from time to time, right?"

After hearing this, Yu Baili looked at Lin Bai in astonishment, then at Pei Ning, and finally at Lu Qingyin. He shook his head vigorously and said, "Brother Yao, what you said couldn't be clearer. But if it's a girl I like, I will definitely not allow anyone else to touch her! Otherwise... hehe."

"Friend Yu, what you said is not quite right." He Wenyao was very serious. "If you like a woman, you should make her happy for her, not for yourself. She is thinking of Lin Zhuanlun in her heart, so you should think of a way to help her fulfill her wish and make things happen. If someone wants to harm Lin Zhuanlun, you should do your best to protect Lin Zhuanlun for the happiness of the fairy, even if it means losing your own life, it is nothing."

Now not only Lin Bai and Wu Muqian were speechless, even Yu Baili was stunned. The three of them looked at each other in horror, feeling that it was extremely absurd.

Mu Zhen, Pei Ning and Lu Qingyin remained silent, but Ying Caidie could not stand it any longer. She stood up, frowned and yelled, "We cultivate and seek freedom and liberation! How come you have become a dog? More loyal than a dog! More willing to eat shit than a dog!"

She scratched her head vigorously, stamping her feet and spinning in circles in anger, "Yu Baili deserted the battlefield, Jiang Tiesuo took advantage of his neighbor, and you... If I had known that people like you would come here, I would never have come even if Mu Zhen had persuaded me to do it! I'm so stupid! Really!"

After this was said, everyone lost interest in talking anymore. He Wenyao did not argue either. They all closed their eyes and rested.

After another half a day, the big guy had barely recovered from his internal and external injuries. Although the snake venom was not completely gone, it was finally suppressed.

He Wenyao, who was the most seriously injured, had recovered quite well. He was good at recuperation and treatment, and now he had recovered better than Wumuqian.

"I was wrong before. I apologize to all of you fellow Taoists." Yu Baili was not stupid either. He bowed and said, "There is a world beneath the phantom of the tortoise shell. I am willing to be the vanguard!"

"Then please." Mu Zhen and the others had been through hardships, so they were trustworthy. She knew that Yu Baili would not be able to stir up trouble again, as Lin Zhuanlun could handle him alone, not to mention herself, Pei Ning, and the ignorant Lu Qingyin.

Yu Baili accepted his fate and immediately walked ahead towards the tortoise shell, and the others followed.

Everyone was walking on the gravel gullies, not in a hurry. Wumu Qian even picked up a piece of snake scale, happily marked it, and prepared to come back to dig it up later!

It took a quarter of an hour to reach the place, but the phantom of the tortoise shell had long disappeared. The only thing left was the protected area, which was about a hundred feet in radius and had no gravel or dust.

There is a huge stone niche in the middle, and seven small stone niches are located around it, about ten feet away from the main niche, forming a protective posture.

When everyone saw many stone niches, they couldn't help but think that the caves on the mountain wall might be niches.

There were flames between the seven small niches and the large main niche. The fire was a residual green color, and although it looked small, it had a gloomy feeling, which must be Yin fire.

When they took a few more steps forward, they saw a person sitting cross-legged on the main niche.

The man had white hair and beard, and looked skinny and emaciated, without any sign of life.

"This is..." Mu Zhen looked carefully, "Ancestor Qianye?"

"No." Lu Qingyin said, "It's Yuanying."

No one dared to say a word for a moment, and everyone looked alert.

Lin Bai looked at the stone niche and the Yin Fire, his mind still filled with uncertainty, but this scene was clearly the place where the fragments of the stone plate that he had spied when he broke through the realm before were left behind.

"I am Mu Zhen, a junior, and I have strayed into this treasure land by mistake. I beg for your understanding!" Mu Zhen did not dare to get too close. He just took a step forward and greeted loudly.

The person in the niche ignored it.

"May I ask your Dharma name, senior?" Mu Zhen asked again.

The old cultivator finally opened his cloudy eyes. The Yin Fire stirred up a gloomy wind that blew his hair and beard. After a long while, he said, "I have long forgotten my name, but I still remember that some people called me Gu Shigu."

The old cultivator's voice was dry and a little awkward, as if he had not spoken for thousands of years.

"Master Gu?" Before everyone could react, they saw Yu Baili crying. He staggered forward a few steps, knelt on the ground, and said, "Excuse me, are you the Master Gu of Xuanji Sect?"

After a long while, the old cultivator said, "Probably."

After hearing this, Yu Baili burst into tears and said, "I am a descendant of the Yu family of Xuanji Sect! You have been missing for eight hundred years, and the elders have been looking for you!"

"Ah, the descendants of Junior Sister Yu?" The old cultivator forced a smile on his dry face, which was only a layer of skin left. "How is Master?"

"The ancestor is fine. He has been in seclusion in Xuanji Mountain for hundreds of years!" Yu Baili said crying.

"That's good." The old cultivator Gu Shigu nodded slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Junior..." Yu Baili stood up and looked at Mu Zhen and others who were on guard. He wiped his tears and said with a smile: "They are my friends. They came here to ask for a chance to achieve the Nascent Soul stage."

"Very good, very good." The old Xiu Gu Shi Gu praised, "I am an old man, and I don't have much to give you. I have been trapped here for eight hundred years, and I have learned a little. Before I die, I will preach and pass on my teachings. This will also make my Taoism immortal."

"Grandmaster..." Yu Baili was so moved, "How did you get trapped here? Why didn't you send a message outside?"

"I just got lost with my friend." Gu Shigu obviously didn't want to say more.

"You have suffered a lot in the shackles for eight hundred years, my dear ancestor!" Yu Baili was really filial.

“Suffering?” Gu Shigu’s face was fleshless, and the light from the Yin Fire reflected on it, making his smile particularly sinister. “The wind and snow have oppressed me for eight hundred years, but my smile is as light as the wind and snow.” (End of this chapter)
