The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 106 The murderer
The setting sun was reflected in the lake, and Lin Bai thought of Xiuxiu for no reason.

Her original identity is the Moon Shadow in the Deep Pond. If she could see this scene, she wondered if she would feel anything.

Lin Bai shook off his distracting thoughts and asked, "Want to go down to the lake?"

"Yes." Huang Ruhua nodded.

"Let me rest for a while." Without waiting for Huang Ruhua to respond, Lin Bai swallowed a pill of nourishing energy and sat down cross-legged.

Huang Ruhua glanced at Lin Bai, then turned to a secluded place and silently watched out for her surroundings.

On the stone plate, Lin Bai sat cross-legged in meditation.

There were spots of moonlight in the outer fog, and Xiuxiu was free again.

Along the way, Huang Ruhua was overly cautious. Although all independent cultivators were like this, she would be frightened at the slightest sign of trouble, as if there was a golden elixir chasing her.

At first, Lin Bai thought that Huang Ruhua had discovered that Senior Zhu Jianyang was hanging behind her, but after traveling together for more than ten days, Lin Bai was sure that Huang Ruhua did not discover that there was someone behind her, she was simply alert and afraid.

Lin Baiping was calm and collected, feeling nothing in his heart, not knowing whether there would be good or bad luck ahead.

This ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune is one's innate magical power and is related to oneself. It is much stronger than the Water-related Heart-searching Technique and generally does not fail.

Unless the people involved are at a very high level, or have special destiny.

"This means that going down into the lake is not very dangerous, at least it won't endanger your life."

Lin Bai still didn't dare to be careless.

Over the past half month, Lin Bai has been pondering the meaning of earth fire on the stone plate, and has gained some insights. If the Fire Scale Sword is used, it should be able to stop two or three Qi training monks.

If he was in danger, he had a talisman to save his life. He also had Zhu Jianyang following him secretly, as a backup.

As long as it is not a very fierce foundation building, such as Tie Huasheng, then it is safe. If it is a golden elixir, then it is definitely over.

But this is unlikely. It doesn't make sense for a great Jindan to spend time and effort to plot against a small Qi training person.

When I opened my eyes, it was already half dark.

"Is there anything unusual?" Lin Bai looked at Huang Ruhua who was approaching.

Huang Ruhua shook her head slightly and said, "When we get down to the lake later, just listen to me. I will never let you get hurt." She spoke with confidence and kindness.

Lin Bai nodded.

The two of them made hand gestures, surrounded themselves with spiritual energy, and dived into the lake. There were fish and shrimps playing with each other, and turtles and tortoises walking along.

Huang Ruhua led the way and Lin Bai followed.

The lake was very deep. The two men dived more than ten feet, reached the bottom of the lake, and continued forward.

After searching for a quarter of an hour, he saw dense aquatic plants and scattered rocks, and there was nothing unusual.

Huang Ruhua moved a rock covered with water plants, and a small cave appeared. She waved to Lin Bai and entered the cave.

Lin Bai followed and walked a few feet forward. He felt much more cheerful, but the water was still full.

The two of them walked one after the other for a hundred feet, then went up and emerged from the water.

Lin Bai guessed that this was entering the interior of the mountain from the bottom of the lake.

This place is dark and damp, the spiritual energy is much richer than outside, and there is plenty of water.

The two men went ashore, and Huang Ruhua, holding a fluorite in her hand, walked deeper into the cave.

The cave was crooked, sometimes up and sometimes down, slippery and dark, and seemed to be made by nature. There was nothing unusual in it, only a few shrimps, crabs, turtles, and quite a few toads.

After walking for a while, a fluorescent light appeared in front of them. A Qigong cultivator in black appeared, with a cautious and defensive look on his face, staring at Lin Bai.

Huang Ruhua walked forward, frowned and asked, "Is everything okay here?"

"Everything is fine." The Qigong practitioner replied. Huang Ruhua nodded, a relaxed smile appeared on her face, she waved to Lin Bai and continued forward.

Lin Bai followed silently, but he felt a little strange: Why did this gatekeeper seem to be quite respectful to Huang Ruhua? And Huang Ruhua seemed to be superior to him. It didn't seem like cooperation, but rather a hierarchy.

There was no sign of seeking good fortune or avoiding misfortune, and Lin Bai just kept moving forward.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, the view ahead suddenly opened up and a cave with a radius of one hundred meters appeared before our eyes.

The cave is about four or five meters high, and there is a green fluorite inlaid on the wall every few steps, which makes the cave look even more eerie.

At the end of the cave, there was a stone table with a few things on it. Behind the stone table was a skeleton, still wearing a tattered loose Taoist robe.

This should be the owner of the cave. Unfortunately, I can't tell how long he has been dead, and I don't recognize the patterns on his robe, so I don't know his identity.

There was a corpse kneeling in front of the stone table, with rotten bones and flesh, and it must have been recently dead, facing the owner of the cave.

Lin Bai looked at the corpse's back and saw a wooden hairpin in its hair, which seemed to be Wang Zizai.

With the stone table as the center, it is estimated that the magic array is located. Once you enter it, you will enter the magic array.

A dozen feet to the left of the stone table, there was a person lying down. It was Zhu Yumao. It was unknown whether he was injured and unconscious, or for some other reason. There was also a young man practicing Qigong, who was meditating with his eyes closed.

Then, Lin Bai looked at the stone platform next to Zhu Yumao.

The stone platform was three feet high and covered with moss. A man sat cross-legged on it. His robe was tattered and dirty, and the color of his robe could not be seen. His hair was a mixture of black and white, his beard was messy, and his head was bowed deeply. His right hand was on his knee, and his left arm was empty.

This man gives off a faint aura of decay and decline, but he is not dead yet. Judging from his aura, he should be a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.

The monk's body is cleansed by spiritual energy, and even if he is injured, he will recover very quickly. If his limbs are damaged, they can slowly grow back.

However, this person is a foundation-building cultivator, but his left arm is empty. Needless to say, the person who cut off his arm either used a weapon similar to the Bihen Knife, or had a special life force, or was at a high level.

Lin Bai speculated that this person must have been injured by a master. It was most likely Jindan who did it.

But even so, he is still a foundation-building cultivator!
Lin Bai leaned against the cave wall and did not try to escape.

Now that I have seen the foundation building, I am afraid I can't escape. Besides, Zhu Yumao is still here, and I need to find out the whole story.

Moreover, there was no warning in his heart, which showed that he had no intention of killing for the time being.

Besides, even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator was injured, there would be no need for him to work hard for half a year just to capture a mere Qi Gathering cultivator like me.

It can be seen that they really need help. It's just that Huang Ruhua lied and didn't make it clear.

"Master!" Huang Ruhua ran forward and knelt down in front of the foundation-building cultivator with a look of concern on her face.

The foundation did not respond, and did not even move.

Huang Ruhua took out various items from the storage ring, placed them on the stone table, and said, "Master, according to what you said, I only bought these things. I dare not buy anything else, for fear of missing any traces."

After she finished speaking, she saw that the foundation-building cultivator had no reaction yet, so she stood up, stood beside the stone platform, looked at Lin Bai from a distance, and saluted.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, I treat others with sincerity, and you treat me like this?" Lin Bai took out the Huolin Sword.

Huang Ruhua smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean to do this, but I had to do it." She sighed and said, "I sincerely invite you to break the formation."

Lin Bai said nothing. He looked at Huang Ruhua while being on guard against the foundation-building technique.

"I didn't lie to you before." Huang Ruhua was sincere. "My master was in trouble, and I lived in Xinyifang. Wang Zizai invited me to go with him, and later Wang Zizai died here. It's all true. It's just that I met my master on the way back, so I asked him to come here to take charge."

"May I ask your name, Master?" Lin Bai felt that the foundation-building figure looked more and more familiar.

"Well..." Huang Ruhua was even more embarrassed, "In fact, you must know my master. Everyone in Xinyifang knows him..."

She stammered, seeming a little embarrassed.
