The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 152 Entering the Valley
Returning along the same route, Lin Bai looked for places with tall and dense trees.

The crows kept wailing, and from time to time, monks who tried to escape in the air were captured by the crows.

Lin Baibing sought good fortune and avoided misfortune, and he no longer had any feelings in his heart.

Along the way, he threw away the storage rings he got from the foundation-building master Wang of Qiaoshan Sect and the two disciples of Tianchi Sect.

Anyway, there is a jackdaw disrupting the situation, and Lin Bai is not afraid of deduction, so there is no need to worry at all. He can just put the blame on the old jackdaw.

"This Mist Shadow Jackdaw is so ferocious!" Lin Bai murmured.

"Who said it wasn't!" Yang Huan chased after him, holding the gourd in one hand and an umbrella in the other, looking back.

I saw a thin mist descending above the sky, emitting a faint fishy smell.

After a while, the fog grew thicker. Although it was very thin, it blocked out the sunlight, making the woods seem even darker.

From time to time, there were the wailing of wild beasts, and the sound of flapping wings was startled.

“The Mist Shadow Jackdaw has finally shown his Mist Shadow magical power.” Chun Yutong sighed, “The ground between the mountains is peaceful, but a dozen feet above the ground will become a death zone for foundation-building cultivators.”

"That's right." Lin Bai looked at Yang Huan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yang, don't you want to go and sharpen your Dao heart?" He was very serious.

"When we were drinking before, you always called me Sister Huanhuan." Yang Huan changed the subject.

"Sister Huanhuan."

"Brother Yun."

The three of them were all very obedient and did not dare to use their magical powers. They headed back north, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. No one mentioned Gu Feixue's misfortune.

I met quite a few people on the way, most of them were from the Yunxia Sect and Qiaoshan sects, as well as some independent cultivators, but few were from Jiuyin Mountain.

Most of them were trembling with fear, obviously frightened.

It can be seen that no matter how arrogant they are outside, they are willing to admit defeat when faced with problems.

After four days of hard work, Lin Bai and others finally got out of Mianlong Mountain.

When they finally saw the light of day, the three of them felt like they had survived a calamity.

Looking back, I saw that the Mianlong Mountain was covered with fog for a hundred miles, which seemed to hide countless murderous intentions.

The people from the garrison had come to greet them, and Yang Huan and Chunyu Tong were taken away by the Yang family.

Gu Feixue's killing of the crow was witnessed by many people and could not be hidden at all.

As an eyewitness, Lin Bai was also taken back by Gu Fang for questioning.

We arrived at the Gu family’s residence in Qiaoshan Sect and entered a large tent.

Sitting cross-legged on it was an old cultivator named Gu Jinzhen, a Jindan cultivator with a big beard.

There is also Gu Fang, and an old female cultivator who is in the foundation-building stage.

"Senior, Sister Fang, you know that I have always been honest..."

"Alas, I was leading the way and we entered the crow forest. I tried to persuade her again and again, but Senior Sister Gu stepped on bird droppings and thought it was too dirty, so she insisted on flying in the air, and ended up attracting the foundation-building crows."

"I am not good at fighting, so I quickly turned back to look for help. I happened to meet Senior Sister Yang Huan and Brother Chun Yu Tong, so I invited them to help."

"I risked my life and used all my strength to finally take down the foundation-building crow, but I didn't expect the fog-shadow jackdaw to fly over from the south... The jackdaw was fierce and aimed at Senior Sister Gu to kill her. Later, Senior Brother Gu Feng threw out a talisman to block the attack. When the smoke and dust cleared, they were both gone."

Lin Bai bowed first, then spoke a lot without telling a single lie.

Gu Jinzhen closed his eyes and stroked his beard, remaining silent for a long time.

Lin Bai looked at Gu Fang, sighed, and asked, "Sister Fang, are Senior Sister Gu Feixue and Senior Brother Gu Feng doing well now?"

"The soul lamp is not extinguished." Gu Fang's face also looked ugly.

"That's good." Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where's Zhu Jianyang?"

"Not dead yet." said Gu Fang.

Lin Bai was finally relieved, and quickly took out the old crow's body, "This is what Senior Sister Gu got, and she temporarily left it with me, and now I'm returning it."

Gu Fang nodded and said soothingly, "Just go and have a rest."

Lin Bai bowed and went back to his tent.

Before we arrived at the place, Yang Shu was already waiting.

"Feixue she..." Yang Shu asked nervously.

Lin Bai sighed, shook his head and went into the account.

Yang Shu's eyes were blank and he was in a daze for a long time. He went into the tent and grabbed Lin Bai.

"Is he really dead?" Yang Shu's eyes were bloodshot, with tears about to fall.

"No." Lin Bai smiled, "I shook my head, which means I'm not dead."

Yang Shu sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Bai also sat down, but before he could even warm up his butt, people from all walks of life came to ask him questions.

This matter cannot be hidden, and the Jackdaws killed too fiercely, causing damage to all sects and schools.

People from Huaqing Sect came to ask, people from Shang Sect came to ask, people from Jiang Sect came to inquire. Even people from Jiuyin Mountain came to ask, and it was a coquettish woman.

Later, people from the Yunxia Sect came to ask questions, and it was really lively.

Lin Bai has always been honest and frank, but he would always answer any questions without hiding anything.

Of course, he also got a lot of tea and elixirs. The female cultivators of Jiuyin Mountain were even more generous. When Lin Bai replied, she would take off one piece of clothing. In the end, Lin Bai had no choice but to talk to her outside the tent, thus preserving his innocence.

"Have you ever seen Wang Ping from my Qiaoshan Sect?" An old foundation-building cultivator from the Qiaoshan Sect came to the door.

"May I ask who Wang Ping is?" Lin Bai was puzzled. "I only know a few Taoist friends from the Gu and Yang families."

"Wang Ping is the direct disciple of the master uncle." The old cultivator spoke in a cold voice, took out a scroll and threw it out.

The leader of Qiaoshan Sect is actually the general affairs leader, named Yue Fengshu, who is in the late Jindan stage. Although the Grand Leader has an overall view of the overall situation of Qiaoshan, he usually has to practice meditation and seclusion, and has rarely taken care of general affairs, so there is a general affairs leader.

However, although he is the head of general affairs, his power is not small. He is the general manager of all the Jindan sects in Qiaoshan, and is in charge of regulating yin and yang. He is the number one figure in Qiaoshan under the Yuanying.

This Yue Fengshu is the direct descendant of the Supreme Master, and he also has three personal disciples.

Lin Bai opened the scroll and saw an elegant young man.

It looked very familiar, as if it had turned to ash. Lin Bai looked at the portrait carefully, thinking deeply.

"Have you ever seen it?" the old cultivator asked with a frown.

"Well..." Lin Bai touched his chin.

The old cultivator stared at Lin Bai, and finally impatiently took out a bottle of pills, "My Qiaoshan Sect's Jade Purity Pill can cure all kinds of poisons."

Lin Bai immediately accepted it and said, "I was in such a hurry to escape that I never met Senior Brother Wang from your sect."

Rolling up the portrait and handing it back with both hands, Lin Bai said perfunctorily: "I believe that Senior Brother Wang is blessed with great fortune and will be able to escape the clutches of the Jackdaw."

"He's dead! The lights are out!" The old monk put away the portrait and left the tent angrily.

"This man is really rude. Even if someone died in your family, it has nothing to do with me. Why are you yelling at me?" Lin Bai felt extremely aggrieved.

Two days later, Lin Bai no longer mentioned going into the mountains, and spent the whole day drinking and having fun with the Yang brothers and sisters. Gu Fang did not urge him, after all, going into the mountains meant risking one's life.

After five or six days, Lin Bai thought that he might as well go back to his hometown to rest. He would go back to discuss with Sister Pei, eat some fruit, and play with his apprentice.

"Don't worry, wait a moment." After he mentioned it to Gu Fang, she refused to let him go. Lin Bai had no choice but to drink every night and practice during the day.

A month passed quickly, and the fog on Mianlong Mountain was still there, but the crows' hostility had subsided a little.

The three major sects and their affiliates also went in and out of Mianlong Mountain from time to time, and gradually found that as long as they did not fly in the air, it would not be a big deal. In some places with high and dense forests and steep canyons, it would not be a problem even if they used their magical powers.

If a jackdaw happens to fly overhead, you just need to restrain your breath. As long as you don't provoke it and don't let its aura be locked, it's usually not dangerous.

To put it bluntly, the sky is the territory of jackdaws and flying is prohibited.

Some people blamed Gu Feixue for this, while others said it was the fox's order. Anyway, it was very noisy. Fewer and fewer people from the three sects entered the mountain. There were moans coming from Jiuyin Mountain every day, which made the disciples of Qiaoshan Sect and Yunxia Sect have wild thoughts.

That night, the full moon was half hidden, the wind was rustling, and Yang Huan came to visit with wine.

In fact, she came every day, but after Lin Bai finished drinking the monkey wine, she came less often. This is the warmth and coldness of the world for Jiu Mengzi.

Yang Huan poured the wine he brought with him, and after drinking more than ten glasses, he asked about the monkey wine again.

In fact, she had asked several times where the monkey wine came from. Although Lin Bai had never been there, he had asked Huang Ruhua and knew the approximate location, but he couldn't tell her.

"The mountains have been quite peaceful recently, and the crows have become more familiar with their temperaments. I plan to go into the mountains again to have a look." Yang Huan held the wine gourd and said seriously, "I have a feeling in my heart, and I will gain something this time." Her cheeks were red with wine, and she whispered, "Brother Yun, I have always admired your drinking capacity and I regard you as my confidant. What do you think? Do you dare to follow me into the mountains to pursue that great opportunity?"

You're trying to fool me again, do you think I'm stupid? Are you still looking for an opportunity? Want to open a bar?
"Sister Huanhuan, just go find Chunyu Tong yourself." Lin Bai smiled.

"He went into the mountains with Yang Bing, and we don't know when he will come back." Yang Huan sighed.

"I see." Lin Bai pondered for a moment, then said, "There is something I didn't tell you. Last time I went to the monkeys' territory to get wine, I had already exhausted all the resources and destroyed all the places where they made wine. If you want to get monkey wine again, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for ten or eight years."

Yang Huan was stunned.

After a long time, Yang Huan drank a few big gulps and wiped her mouth casually. She was very angry and felt extremely aggrieved. "People say that those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. It's okay that you don't plant trees, but you also cut down other people's trees? Why do you smash the pot after eating? And curse your mother after drinking milk?" She was furious.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Lin Bai waved his hand and asked, "Sister Huanhuan, when will you enter the mountain? I will follow you then!"

Lin Bai picked up the wine bowl.

"No." Yang Huan snatched the wine bowl from Lin Bai, drank it all in one gulp, patted her butt, threw down the wine bowl, and left.

This is the ruthlessness of a drunkard.

Yang Huan was so angry that he left, and Lin Bai sat in meditation to practice.

Three days later, Gu Fang sent someone to invite Lin Bai to talk.

There was no choice but to go. When I arrived at Gu Fang's tent, the old Jindan cultivator Gu Jinzhen was also there.

After paying his respects, Lin Bai said nothing, thinking that it must be something bad.

"I got a lot of things from that old crow last time. They should have been yours. I'll give them to you later." Gu Fang asked Lin Bai to sit down first and poured him some fragrant tea.

It's been more than a month, and you just remembered this? Lin Bai immediately understood that the person who came had bad intentions and must have something to ask for.

Sure enough, before Lin Bai could refuse, Gu Fang said, "You will certainly get some benefits." After she finished her nonsense, she got down to business, "You have been resting here for more than a month, why not go into the mountains again and look for some flying snow."

Gu Feixue is the darling of the Gu family, but she is also a troublemaker, so Lin Bai doesn't want to care about her.

"Sister Fang, it's not that I don't want to. It's just that you have been there for several groups. If they can't find her, how can I find her?" Lin Bai declined politely, and then said: "Besides, with Senior Sister Gu's personality, even if I find her, I will never be able to bring her back."

"You just need to find her." Gu Fang took out a letter, "Write to her and she will reply."

Gu Fang took out a small bell and explained its benefits in detail.

It turns out that this bell is called the Swallow Returning Bell. The one held by Lin Bai is a swallow, and the one held by Gu Feixue is a nest. As long as the two are within ten miles, there will be a sound.

I haven't agreed yet, right? Lin Bai didn't know what to say. This Gu family member was too strong.

"This..." Lin Bai sighed, "I am just an alchemist. I can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands. I don't even dare to kill a chicken. I was frightened in the mountains last time. I really don't dare to go into the mountains again."

"If you can find her, my family will allow you to make one condition." Gu Jinzhen suddenly spoke.

The conditions of the Yuanying family! If they value Gu Feixue so much, why do they let her go out and have fun?

Well, now that Jin Dan has spoken, Lin Bai really dares not to disrespect him.

"In this case, how dare I, Yun Zhonghe, not fight to the death?" Lin Bai agreed firmly, thinking that he could handle it and it would make everyone look good.

After putting the bell on his wrist, Lin Bai asked again: "Who should I follow?"

"Most of our manpower is in the mountains now. If you meet any of my Gu family members, just follow them." Gu Fang said.

So I am still alone? Lin Bai had no choice but to chat for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

Since we're already in the mountains, we might as well do something else.

Lin Bai went to the Tianchi garrison again to look for Gai Qiuyan and Yao Qianchi, but he didn't see them. They were still in the mountains.

"I will go into the mountains tomorrow, hoping to meet my two senior brothers." Lin Bai shouted a few words and went back to rest.

After a while, the Yang siblings came over following the smell.

Ever since Yang Huan heard about Lin Bai's eating and ruining the pot, he has had less contact with Lin Bai. This visit is probably not a good thing.

"Brother, do you want to go into the mountains?" Yang Shu held Lin Bai's hand, very eagerly.

How did it spread so fast? Lin Bai had no choice but to nod.

"Okay! Let's go into the mountains!" Yang Shu quickly poured the wine, "If you encounter Feixue, please persuade her to come back."

"Of course." Lin Bai agreed immediately, not daring to look at Yang Huan, for fear that she would follow him and ruin his plans.

After talking for a long time, the Yang siblings left.

But after a while, Yang Huan came again.

"Do you want to get more wine?" Yang Huan asked.

"It's really gone." Lin Bai wanted to stay in the cave for a few days, trick a few people from Tianchi Sect, and spend his time there.

"Swear." Yang Huan seemed to be prepared. "Just say that if the monkey wine is really gone, you will never drink alcohol, sleep with a woman, or get drenched in bird droppings for the rest of your life." She was very serious and added, "Swear on your life. Come on!"

This drunkard is too cruel! Lin Bai was silent.

"Together! Let's go into the mountains together!" Yang Huan grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and acted coquettishly with a smile.

Lin Bai still didn't say anything, and Yang Huan didn't leave either, but kept saying nice things.

There was no way, the drunkard was throwing a tantrum, and the shameless one was just forcing him. Lin Bai had to make three rules with her: no drinking in the mountains, no action without authorization, and she had to follow orders.

On the morning of the second day, Lin Bai and Yang Huan went into the mountains together.

As he walked through the mountains and forests, he met people from time to time, so Lin Bai asked about the whereabouts of Zhu Jianyang and Gu Feixue, but no one knew.

After three days of this, the two men finally bypassed the crow forest and arrived at the waterfall.

Lin Bai used the excuse of investigation to ask Yang Huan to stay behind while he went to the cave where he and Jiang Yatou had made love in the past.

The storage ring was still there, and Lin Bai only took the talisman inside.

After meeting up with Yang Huan, the two continued heading south.

We hurried along the crooked road, trying to avoid the monsters. We were already more than a hundred miles deep in the Mianlong Mountain, and the population was becoming increasingly sparse.

In the past, Lin Bai came here with Huang Ruhua, but today there is someone else beside him.

Soon they saw a valley, which was the Chuan Valley, the place where Master Huang Ruhua and his disciples lived in the past.

At that time, there were calamity clouds in the sky, beasts roared, birds chirped, and the world was silent. Now, everything has changed and there is no human habitation.
