The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 61 Immortal Methods
When Lin Bai returned to the old house, the jujube tree was bare.

The yard was very quiet. There were no sounds of insects or birds, let alone any noises from the ignorant. It felt quite quiet.

After some nostalgia, he went out again and bought some dried fruits and candied fruits at the market, filling a whole sack.

I wonder if there are any peddlers among the immortals...

"Lin Zhuanlun, what are you doing? What's in the sack? Something aphrodisiac?" While walking on the road, he met an acquaintance, who was Yun Ge'er, the man who used to sell crisp pears.

Aphrodisiac? That's outrageous! I would like to think that if I could spend a night with Master Qu, even if I was squeezed dry, I would keep Xiu Xiu!

"..." Lin Bai kept moving his legs and said seriously, "Of course, how do you think I got the name of the Wheel of Time?"

"So much...are you going to eat it as a meal?" Yun Ge'er was frightened. He followed Lin Bai closely, observing Lin Bai's expression, and seemed not to believe it.

"What do you think? A quarter of an hour in bed, and eating until full under the bed!" Lin Bai said.

"Lin Zhuan...Brother Lin, can you tell me how this medicine was prepared?" Brother Yun asked in a low voice.

"Why are you asking this? Are you going to sell your body too?" Lin Bai smiled.

"I don't have the capital you have. I can't even turn a wooden bowl, let alone a wheel!" Yun Ge'er was a little shy. "It was Ganniang Wang who told me about a marriage. Shouldn't I be prepared?"

"Come to the clinic to find me in a few days, I'll write to you." Lin Bai carried the sack with one hand, holding it up, and with the other hand he took out a piece of silver and threw it to him, "Give me the gift money first, I'm afraid I'll be busy then!"

"Too much!" Yun Ge'er weighed it in his hand and found it was two taels.

"That's it, don't follow me." Lin Bai waved his hand and quickened his pace.

Brother Yun held the silver, stood there in a daze, and sighed, "This money is hot to hold. His clinic doesn't make any money, so this must be earned by selling his body. It's hard-earned money! Although he looks so glamorous, he must be suffering a lot in his heart..."

When he arrived at the county government office, Pei Ning was already waiting there with a bundle.

"I won't go in." Pei Ning threw the bag to Lin Bai and whispered, "Xiu Xiucai... just grew up today. She blushed and listened to me talking about Yue for a long time... I won't say more. You go."

Lin Bai nodded without saying anything more.

After entering the county government office, he asked someone to report the matter.

After a while, Qu Ruyi brought Xiuxiu out to meet them.

Xiuxiu's eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Why are you still crying? You are a doctor who sees patients, aren't you ashamed?"

Xiuxiu was amused and tried to defend herself by saying, “I didn’t cry.”

Qu Ruyi watched from the side and laughed too.

"Then what did you do?" Lin Bai asked again.

When Xiuxiu heard this, she sighed repeatedly and said bitterly, "Sister Ruyi taught me to carry a turtle back and talked about the principles of the five elements and yin and yang. They are all different from what we have in our medical books."

Lin Bai smiled upon hearing this and said, "Those are all very profound and good principles. You must learn well from Sister Ruyi and Master."

Xiuxiu curled her lips, walked forward, took Lin Bai's hand, and motioned Lin Bai to bend down.

Lin Bai did as he was told. Xiuxiu glanced at Qu Ruyi, then leaned close to Lin Bai's ear and whispered, "Master bullied you. I don't like her and don't want to learn from her."

Qu Ruyi's face turned dark on the spot.

"Silly girl!" Lin Bai flicked her brow and said seriously, "Master, that's not bullying me, it's testing me. Have you forgotten that your grandfather let me enter the clinic because I followed you into the mountains to collect herbs many times and studied medical books seriously."

Xiuxiu nodded ignorantly.

Lin Bai held her shoulders and said seriously, "Have you forgotten that Mr. Bai used to punish you by making you copy books and also restrained you from going out to the street to listen to people gossiping? Does that mean Mr. Bai doesn't like you anymore? Does he not love you anymore?"

Xiuxiu was indeed very reasonable. She shook her head and said, "Grandpa loves me and is afraid that I will learn bad things."

She knows everything.

"That's the truth." Lin Bai scratched her nose and said with a smile, "Master will love you in the future. Have you forgotten what Mr. Bai taught you before? Respect your teacher. You must be filial to your master, don't make him angry, and learn from him. Even if your master is strict, you must listen carefully, understand?"

Xiuxiu nodded seriously and said, "I understand. I will respect my master and learn things well."

Lin Bai was extremely pleased and said, "In addition to being filial to Master, you should also treat Sister Ruyi as your own sister. If you have any worries or unhappy things, tell your sister Ruyi. She loves you the most."

Xiuxiu tilted her head to look at Qu Ruyi, and seeing her smiling and nodding, Xiuxiu also smiled.

Lin Bai opened the sack and said, "These are all the dried fruits you like to eat." He also handed her two bundles, "Your clothes."

After saying this, Lin Bai took off the hairpin on her head and handed it to Xiuxiu with a smile.

"Why are you giving it back to me, I gave it to you?" Xiuxiu asked in surprise.

"Give me a better one later." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Be frugal." Xiuxiu glared at Lin Bai, but still put away the hairpin obediently, and then said aggrievedly: "I will save money and buy you a jade one. When will you come to find me?"

"Very quickly." Lin Bai smiled easily, "I need to do something with Senior Brother Song first, and then I'll come find you when I'm done."

"Then you better hurry up." Xiuxiu was very serious and whispered, "I will be eighteen in two years."

"Okay, okay." Lin Bai agreed with a smile, and then asked: "Did you remember everything I told you just now?"

"I remember." Xiuxiu nodded, as if to say, "Don't underestimate me." "You must respect Master. Even if he hits me and scolds me, it's for my own good. You must also treat Sister Ruyi as your own sister. I remember everything."

"Remember this. If you forget, I will ignore you again." Lin Bai said seriously.

"Remember that." Seeing Lin Bai's unhappy expression, Xiuxiu curled her lips and muttered softly, "Grandpa is not as nagging as you." She actually said that others were nagging.

Lin Bai said no more, leaned forward and bowed deeply to Qu Ruyi, saying: "Little Qu Xianshi, Xiu Xiu is stupid, has never seen the world, and can't speak. Please take good care of me. Lin Bai will remember it in his heart and repay you with a favor."

"I will treat Xiuxiu like my own sister." Qu Ruyi chuckled and said, "We will be fellow disciples in the future, so don't be polite."

Lin Bai leaned forward again.

"Why is the purse torn?" Xiuxiu grabbed the purse on Lin Bai's waist and looked at it carefully, then untied her own purse, took out a needle from it, and found a ball of thread, pursed her lips and threaded the thread, mending Lin Bai's purse. "Don't talk, I'll marry you in the future... Hehe..." She smiled foolishly, and finished the mending in just a cup of tea.

Her craftsmanship was really average, and it wasn't very pretty, but she still boasted, "It's pretty good looking."

Lin Bai didn't say anything, just watched.

After a while, the three of them suddenly heard a voice.

When they arrived at the pavilion again, Zhang Han and Song Qing were already waiting there, as well as a group of green-clothed elders from the Qingyang Sect.

"The war spirit in the north is getting closer and closer, and the blood is filling the sky. You, the Qingyang sect, should also do your part to pacify this place." Qu Chengjia warned.

All the people from the Qingyang Sect knelt down and responded.

"It's getting late." Qu Chengjia stood up, glanced at Xiuxiu, then glanced at Lin Bai, and waved his sleeves.

There was a black hole in the cuffs, and then it kept spinning, as if it was going to suck the whole world in. Lin Bai felt a little dizzy, and barely stood still. He looked around, but Qu Chengjia was nowhere to be found, and even Qu Ruyi and Xiuxiu were nowhere to be found.

Looking up at the sky, I saw a black streak cutting through the sky in the west, and then it became out of reach.

Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and went to see Song Qing.

But Song Qing also had a look of relief on his face.

"Senior Brother Song," Lin Bai stepped forward, bowed and saluted with a smile, and said, "Master told me to follow Senior Brother's arrangements. Can you let me go back to the clinic first and take care of the mundane affairs at home?"

"You can go on your own." Song Qing waved his hand casually, not caring at all. "Have a good rest tonight, and come find me tomorrow at noon. I will teach you the way to enter the Tao."

"Thank you, senior brother!" Lin Bai was overjoyed. He immediately bowed and slowly stepped out.

When the elders of Qingyang Sect saw this, they became even more envious.

Song Qing said no more and stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, as if he was worried about something.

Zhang Han was watching from the side and quickly waved his hand at the people from Qingyang Sect, signaling them to leave.

After everyone left, Zhang Han stepped forward and asked flatteringly, "Brother Song, are you worried about Lin Zhuanlun? He is just an ordinary person. Even if he has some ability in martial arts, can he really turn the world upside down? Even if Pei Ning is added, he is just a bonus."

"Not because of that. I killed him like a chicken."

Song Qing sighed and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, ah Lin Zhuanlun, should I say you are lucky or unlucky?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Han asked in a humorous tone.

"To say that he is lucky is to say that he has someone as close to him as Xiuxiu. To say that he is unlucky is to say that Xiuxiu is too close to him."

Song Qing smiled and continued, "If he and Xiuxiu were just siblings, that would be fine. He could enjoy endless wealth and luxury in the secular world and choose any woman he wanted. But Xiuxiu chose him!"

"Master is indeed a bit strict..." Zhang Han said in a low voice.

"Who said it wasn't true!" Song Qing nodded and said, "It's all because Xiuxiu was too obsessed. Master can only prevent future troubles."

Zhang Han smiled, "Then what is Junior Brother Song worried about? It's just a matter of killing a mere mortal. Why think too much about it?" As he spoke, he flipped his hands to indicate that it was easy.

"Brother Zhang, this is what you don't understand."

Song Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "My master studies the science of fate. She likes Xiuxiu because her fate is the best for her, so Xiuxiu wants to learn the true teachings. In the future, Junior Sister Xiuxiu may surpass you and me. By then, if Xiuxiu still has feelings for Lin Zhuanlun, and if I make some deductions, how can I still be her junior brother and sister? Wouldn't there be a conflict? What should I do if Master is more partial to her?"

"This..." Zhang Han frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "Why don't we let the Qingyang Sect do it? We won't interfere!"

“Brother Zhang, you don’t understand the science of numerology.” Song Qing shook his head and said, “Even if you and I didn’t intervene directly, we would still be implicated and unable to escape the eyes of those who have real abilities. If Xiuxiu can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in the future and gain great powers in the science of numerology, even the master who gave you and me the order today will be caught in the act…”

"What should we do then?" Zhang Han finally understood and asked with a bitter face, "Master loves Xiuxiu, but he wants to kill the person Xiuxiu cares about the most. Isn't this..."

"Master is Master after all. If there is a day, could Xiuxiu really kill Master? Besides, Master still has hope on the road to becoming a great master. Maybe he can try his luck at Nascent Soul..." Song Qing also smiled bitterly, "But you and I..."

“Junior Brother Song, please stop talking. You are a young genius and you can easily reach the stage of Dan. It’s just a pity for me…” Zhang Han nodded, with a sinister look in his eyes.

Seeing that Zhang Han understood what he meant, Song Qing smiled slightly, no longer looking distressed.

"Junior Brother Song, Master Uncle has given the order, Lin Zhuanlun must be killed!" Zhang Han clenched his fists, "I was stabbed by the Green Mark Knife... I must do meritorious service to Master Uncle!"

Song Qing glanced at Zhang Han's crotch and said with a smile: "Let the Qingyang Sect's people go, don't dirty our hands."

After saying that, he looked into the distance, where Ren Qiaoyun was standing pretty. She was not wearing much, but her face was full of lust. She was clearly a ripe persimmon.

It was already evening. Zhang Han smiled and waved his hand, and an old man in blue came up to him.

"Lin Zhuanlun stole the sect's secrets. You go and kill him and bring his head to me." Zhang Han said in a light tone, as if he was ordering dinner to be prepared.

"Yes!" The old man immediately took the order, left the yard, gathered his men, and headed straight to Baicaotang.

After the old man left, Zhang Han smiled again and said, "Junior Brother Song, there is a saying in the secular world that a good night is hard to come by, so don't let it go to waste!"

Song Qing shook his head, looking like a moralist, and said, "Master is very strict about matters between men and women. If I really did something, I will be punished when I return to the mountain."

“Junior brother! You are too timid!” Zhang Han laughed, “Even in my hometown, there is a fellow practitioner like you who has established the foundation early!”

Song Qing pondered for a while, then waved to Ren Qiaoyun, indicating that he should come forward.

"That's right!" Zhang Han said cheerfully, with a flattering face, "For ordinary people, it's okay to just use it and throw it away, why worry? It's okay to indulge for two days. Even if you have a heart for the great way, you have to know when to take it easy."

Song Qing nodded, not knowing whether he was convinced by Zhang Han or by himself.

When Ren Qiaoyun walked forward, Song Qing hadn't spoken yet when he saw the old man running in, bowing in a panic.

"So fast? Only a quarter of an hour. Where is his head?" Zhang Han laughed.

"Master, Lin Zhuanlun has disappeared! We have searched the clinic and his home, but there is no trace of him!" the old man replied.

Zhang Han frowned, "Why is Lin Zhuanlun so alert? He has only been gone for half an hour..."

Song Qing didn't seem to care, and smiled and said, "I have long seen that he is good at pretending and has a heavy mind. Now it seems that he should be killed in advance, otherwise when Junior Sister Xiuxiu finishes her studies, she will be kidnapped by him!"

"Junior brother, have you made preparations in advance?" Zhang Han heard the confidence in Song Qing's words.

"He's on guard, so why shouldn't I be?"

Song Qing opened his palm, and there was a mosquito the size of a soybean in his palm. "I had already let the other one follow him, and Lin Zhuanlun would never have noticed!"

At this point, Song Qing smiled confidently and said, "How can an ordinary person like me know the methods of immortals?"

"Then you and I will go over there now and take care of him!" Zhang Han was eager to try.

"Don't worry, it's just a bug, you can crush it to death at any time."

Song Qing looked at the old man and said, "Take your men to Tianlang Mountain to check. He has gone into the mountain."

"Yes!" The old man bowed respectfully and then left.

"Master has returned to the sect. Let's take a few days to rest first."

Song Qing smiled and looked at Zhang Han, and asked, "I heard that Tong Ruhu was having an affair, where is the ashes?"

"..." Zhang Han was stunned, then smiled and said, "Junior brother, please!"

"Then...what about me?" Ren Qiaoyun asked blankly.

"Have you been cheated on before?" Song Qing asked.

"I am innocent and I respect myself. No one has ever touched me except that useless husband!" Ren Qiaoyun said immediately.

"What's the point?" Song Qing shook his head.

Ren Qiaoyun was stunned.
