The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 164 News of Death
After leaving Jiang's house, Lin Bai followed Chunyu Ye to Zhutao Garden.

"Senior, it's been a long time since we last met. You seem to be more energetic than ever." Chun Yuye said with a smile.

"We have known each other for a long time, why should I call you elder?" Lin Bai said warmly like a spring breeze.

Chun Yu Ye smiled, looked at Lin Bai meaningfully, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

When we arrived at Zhutao Garden, we entered the path and turned around until we found a simple courtyard, but it was not Yang Shu's former residence.

There were towering green bamboos in the bamboo-fenced courtyard, and a low bamboo table with four people sitting cross-legged beside it.

Needless to say, Yang Shu and Yang Huan were there, Chunyu Tong was there as well, and Yang Bing was also there.

"Brother Yun!" Yang Shu immediately stood up to greet him.

"Please come in, senior." Chun Yu Ye bowed and left slowly.

Yang Shu stepped forward and grabbed Lin Bai, pulling him into the yard. Everyone bowed and Lin Bai sat next to Yang Shu.

Pour the light green sake, which has the elegant aroma of bamboo leaves. It is the Chunyu family's green bamboo wine.

After a round of drinking, Yang Shu couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Yun, I wonder how Feixue is doing now?"

You are from the same sect as her, and yet you ask me this?

"I don't know either. Didn't you go and ask her?" Lin Bai said honestly.

"Of course I went, but she didn't see me. When something happened in the Gu family, no one would spread a word."

Yang Shu pulled Lin Bai's sleeve, looking sad, "She has damaged her essence, which will hinder her future cultivation. I feel bad too." As he spoke, he took out a wooden box and said, "This is the Jade Toad Cream, it may be useful to her. Please pass it on to her."

Lin Bai took the wooden box and thought to himself, you have never cared about me so much!

"I'm only in Xinyifang, how can I see her?" Lin Bai explained quickly.

"There will always be a chance to meet each other, unlike me..." Yang Shu said in silence, "I wanted to see her from a distance but couldn't."

"Yang Shu, Yang Shu!" Yang Bing took a sip of wine and sneered, "I don't even want to see you, but you insist on licking my shoes! Aren't you ashamed?"

"What do you know?" Yang Shu immediately said, "First, she and I are from the same school, so I should help her. Second, what if she ignores me? I just want to do what she wants."

He was surprisingly well organized.

"It's so funny." Yang Bing didn't even look at Yang Shu, but only at Yang Huan, and said, "Sister Huanhuan, you don't care about it?"

"Drink, drink." Yang Huan didn't bother to care, she just raised her glass.

Everyone drank again, and Yang Bing toasted Lin Bai.

"Brother Yun!" Yang Bing said decisively, "I heard that your Taoist partner is studying in Tianchi Sect. I wanted to invite her down the mountain to drink with me, but Sister Huanhuan said that she has reached a critical juncture in her cultivation, so I didn't bother her."

Lin Bai looked at Sister Huanhuan, who lowered her head and drank.

After drinking for a while, Chunyu Tong also started to toast.

After chatting for a while, Yang Bing took out an exquisite wooden box.

Finally here! Lin Bai has been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Yun, I killed a foundation-building water buffalo in Mianlong Mountain and got some things." Yang Bing handed it over and said with a grin, "Brother Yun, please help me pass it on to that bitch Gu Yao!"

"Eh?" Lin Bai glanced at Yang Shu and thought, aren't the Yang family and the Gu family both from the Qiaoshan Sect? Why do you always ask an outsider to help you? Are you sick?
Besides, you, Yang Bing, and Gu Yao started to quarrel as soon as you met, so why are you still giving gifts to each other?
Lin Bai had no temper and could only accept it.

"And," Yang Bing took out another wooden box and said, "I was in trouble at Mianlong Mountain last time. If it weren't for your help, I would have turned into a dried-up bone now." He pushed the wooden box in front of Lin Bai and continued, "Please don't refuse. As for Taoist Zhu Jianyang, I have already been to Fengming Pavilion just now."

He is indeed a descendant of Yuanying stage, and he is particular about what he does.

Lin Bai did not pretend to refuse and accepted the gift immediately.

It was still early in the morning, not yet past noon. The five of them drank and chatted, listening to the sound of bamboo waves.

Recalling the events of Mianlong Mountain, he also discussed the methods of cultivation, and even the unofficial history of Qiaoshan, but he never talked about the Gu family again.

Obviously, everyone was avoiding it.

They chatted until midnight. Both Yang Shu and Yang Bing were drunk. The former was mumbling to himself while the latter was sleeping like a pig.

Sister Huanhuan's face was flushed with wine, and she went to clink glasses with Chunyu Tong.

After drinking for another half an hour, Chun Yu Tong really didn't want to drink with the drunkard anymore, so he called over the younger generation of Qi Refiners and sent Yang Shu and Yang Bing back to rest.

"Junior Sister Yang, Junior Brother Yun, I can't drink much, let's drink again tomorrow." Chunyu Tong stood up, bowed and left.

Finally, Lin Bai and Sister Huanhuan were the only ones left in the yard.

"I drank too much, and the wind in the bamboo forest is quite cold." Yang Huan hugged his arms.

"Then let's go inside and drink again." Lin Bai covered his forehead with his hands.

"That's exactly what I want!" Yang Huan laughed and immediately pulled Lin Bai and staggered into the house.

The door was closed and there was no fluorite, so Yang Huan took out a candle and lit it.

The two of them sat down and took out the monkey wine and poured it.

"This is the residence prepared for me by the Chunyu family. Don't worry." Sister Huanhuan leaned against the wall shyly while drunk. Her eyes were watery under the candlelight, but she didn't seem to be drunk.

Lin Bai is naturally very sensible.

Turning to the inner room, the sound of bamboo waves outside the window could not cover up the sounds inside the house.

After a long time, Sister Huanhuan arched her waist and looked dazed.

I don't know what he was saying. After a short rest, the alcohol had worn off, but the aftertaste was still there, making him look even more gentle.

Lin Bai enjoyed serving the man and lived off him.

"Did something happen to the Gu family?" Lin Bai asked.

"Yeah." Sister Huanhuan nodded slightly, her face becoming even more red. "You'll know in a few days. My family won't let you talk nonsense."

"Is the Gu family in chaos?" Lin Bai was more concerned about this.

"There is another ancestor in his family. Even though he is new, he can keep him under control." Sister Huanhuan was clearly clear-headed.

"What about your general affairs manager?" Yue Fengshu had only three disciples, and Lin Bai took away two of them, leaving only one.

Moreover, Yue Fengshu is not a narrow-minded person and he really cares for his disciples. I have seen this with my own eyes.

There was also Liu Tianhe of the Tianchi Sect, who also killed several of his disciples and one of his direct relatives.

Although the murder was done in secret, the murderer was indeed targeting Lin Bai at that time. Even if there was no evidence and it could not be deduced, there was no guarantee that those big shots would not vent their anger on him.

"I don't know." Sister Huanhuan rested her chin on Lin Bai's shoulder. "She seems to be busy with Gu's family affairs." She spoke softly and blew a breath. "You were very brave at that time. Why are you scared now?"

"How can I not be afraid?" Lin Bai looked like an honest man.

Sister Huanhuan chuckled, "He is the head of the sect, but he doesn't have much power. You have the Gu family protecting you. Even if he wants to cause trouble for you, he can only find an excuse to make things difficult for you, or something else. He will never cause trouble for you openly, otherwise he will be giving the Gu family no face."

This is indeed the truth, and Lin Bai also thinks so. Anyway, if he really comes to cause trouble in the future, he will find a chance to deal with his only disciple.

"Also," Sister Huanhuan's eyes sparkled again, "from now on, if you come to drink with me from time to time, others will be more wary of you if they know that you are close to my family."

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so nice." Lin Bai wanted to get up and serve her carefully, but she pushed him down again.

"Take a break..." Sister Huanhuan said softly, taking out the wine gourd, "Don't open your eyes..."

It was just another waste of words, and in the end it was all over my face.

"Have you practiced the method of tempering the body? The more I get along with you, the more I feel that you have a harmonious mind." Sister Huanhuan brushed away the filth and started chatting again.

"I practiced the method of Hunyuan Body Tempering." Lin Bai did not hide it from her, since all the women around him had seen it. After he explained it to her in detail, Sister Huanhuan shook her head and said, "Useless."

"Do Yang Bing and Gu Yao have any old grudges?" Lin Bai changed the subject.

"They are the same age and used to have a very good relationship. They studied and learned to read together since they were young. Later, for some reason, they stopped communicating when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. Whenever they met on the road, they would speak ill of each other." Sister Huanhuan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "See if you like the thing Yang Bing gave you."

Lin Bai did as he was told and opened the wooden box given by Yang Bing. Inside were seven small flags.

The flagpole is three feet long, and the flag is triangular. There are cloud patterns on it, all in black. The material should be taken from some kind of monster, and it is very light. When it is waved slightly, a light mist will appear.

"This is the Flying Cloud Flag, made from the tendons, bones, and fur of the Sky Cloud Beast. It can absorb clouds and mist, saving energy, and is most suitable for people whose destiny is clouds and mist." Sister Huanhuan took a flag in her hand, "Seven flags form a formation, called the Flying Cloud Flag Formation. Once formed, it can increase the power of your magic. It can also suppress clouds and mist, and is not afraid of wind and frost, and will not disperse for a long time." She took out a book from the bottom of the gift box, "This is the key to the formation. If you don't understand, come and ask me."

This gift was just the right medicine for the problem! Lin Bai had tried his sword several times in Mianlong Mountain and knew that although the mist in his sleeves was strong, it was easy to control.

If there are many people, and some of them are proficient in creating violent storms, the clouds and fog will be difficult to maintain.

Now with the Feiyun Flag Formation, things will be much safer!

"do you like it?"

Seeing Lin Bai smiling, Sister Huanhuan continued, "Bing'er asked me about it, and I told her that you have a method to circulate mist. It just so happens that we have this thing in the storehouse at home, and it suits you, so she asked for it as a thank-you gift." Sister Huanhuan said this while biting her lower lip. The red on her face had not yet faded, and her eyes were more full of spring.

"Sister Huanhuan, you are so nice!" Lin Bai quickly nudged her.

Sister Huanhuan's soft rice is still delicious. Unlike Jiang Xiaobai, his soft rice is squeezed out bit by bit, and he doesn't eat it happily.

After serving Sister Huanhuan well, Lin Bai was thinking about leaving, but he didn't expect Sister Huanhuan to take out another book.

"This was written by our ancestor when he was in the Golden Core Stage. I copied it down." Yang Huan handed it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai opened it and saw the words "Detailed Explanation of the Art of Escape".

These are some insights of the Yang family ancestor on the art of escape. They are not magical powers of escape, but they are also very valuable.

They thanked him kindly and waited until dawn before leaving.

I wanted to leave, but Sister Huanhuan wouldn't let me. She said it wasn't easy to come out and I should stay a few more days.

Yang Bing also had the same idea, and Yang Shu and Chunyu Tong had no way of refusing, so they had to set up the banquet.

They drank and talked happily in the bamboo forest, preaching and discussing the Dao, and they were completely free from the decadence of Mianlong Mountain and became free and easy as monks.

After three days of commotion, Lin Bai stayed for another night and took good care of Sister Huanhuan before leaving.

"Brother Yun has an elegant personality and is a very sincere and kind person. If you go to Qiaoshan Sect someday, remember to come and have a drink with us." Yang Bing said.

"Don't forget what I entrusted to you." Yang Shu also spoke.

Sister Huanhuan didn't say anything, her face still red from the wine, she just giggled, with a deeper meaning in her eyes.

Lin Bai said goodbye and was about to leave Zhutao Garden when Chun Yuye caught up with him.

"Senior Yun." Chunyu Ye stepped forward and bowed gently.

"I've told you so many times that I always recognize you as my sister. Don't call me senior anymore." Lin Bai always tries to get closer to others.

"I dare not." Chun Yuye smiled, took out a small bamboo board, and presented it with both hands, "The cave where you lived before is no longer rented out. From now on, it will only be used by you. This is the token."

"This is..." Lin Bai was stunned and didn't answer.

"My brother was able to escape from Mianlong Mountain with the help of the seniors, so he should be thanked." Chun Yuye said as he walked forward, holding the bamboo board in both hands and bowed his head in salute.

"Okay, then I'll take it." Lin Bai picked up the bamboo board and put it into the storage ring. "Why are you being more polite to me?" As he spoke, he gently helped Chunyu Ye up.

"Senior." Chun Yuye took a step back and bowed again.

What happened? Being polite means being distant. Lin Bai felt that he had not offended her and had only said nice things to her. How could this happen?
But if you walk by the river often, how can you not lose your shoes? Maybe I was careless in the past and offended her unintentionally.

"Sister, is there something wrong with me?" Lin Bai always speaks his mind.

"How could you be wrong, senior?" Chun Yuye smiled, then looked melancholy and said, "I said before that I would no longer be in charge of the leasing of the cave house. Now it has been delayed for a long time, and I have finally stepped down. If you come in the future, please find my brothers and sisters."

After saying that, he bowed again.

Seeing this, Lin Bai stopped asking questions, nodded and left.

I returned to the cave, made elixirs and calmed my mind. Two days later, Miaomiao came again.

"It's just right that you are here, come and watch me make the elixir." Lin Bai pulled her over and let her observe how he made the elixir.

Miaomiao sat down obediently. After pretending to be well behaved for half an hour, she became impatient and began to yawn.

Lin Bai had no way to deal with her. He tried to persuade her with kind words, scolded her harshly, and even found a bamboo stick to hit her palm. But she was a good apprentice after all, and after the beating, she asked Lin Bai if his arm was sore and wanted to rub his arm.

From then on, Lin Bai no longer forced her or taught her anything, but just let things take their course.

No matter whether his disciple will have a bright future or not, just based on her filial piety, Lin Bai is willing to support her for the rest of her life.

After putting away the alchemy furnace, Lin Bai listened to his young disciple praising it in various ways for a while, and then took out the detailed explanation of the escape technique to read.

"Did Xiaoyuer's sister ask you to come?" Lin Bai asked while reading a book.

"Yes, she asked me to come and see if the master has come back." Seeing Lin Bai sitting down to read, Miaomiao obediently poured him tea and went to the back to gently massage his back.

"I'll just be away from home for three or four days..." Lin Bai was not angry.

"What book is Master reading?" Miaomiao laughed, jumped onto Lin Bai's back, and leaned over to take a look.

"You still don't understand. Master will teach you later." Lin Bai patted her head and went back to reading.

The escape method is a strange method, which has the meaning of surprising the enemy. It can be used to attack when advancing and to escape when retreating.

Moving from one place to another is like the movement of the stars. It can be carried by something, or it can be carried without any external objects.

If one wishes to practice the art of escape, one must have extremely high talent and a compatible destiny. It would be even better if one could get another chance.

Lin Bai thought for a long time. The escape method involves space, while the dead tree cicada magical power he cultivated involves time.

Both are extremely difficult to achieve.

This dead wood cicada's magical power is the secret technique of the old wood demon. It is extremely difficult to develop it by oneself. However, after seeing the power of the dead wood cicada, Song Qing's enlightenment before death, Qu Ruyi's rebirth from death, Shen Xu's hiding his body by borrowing his life, and Tie Huasheng's getting rid of all dirt and rust...

With all these things in mind, and by borrowing a ray of Nascent Soul from the jade cicada, he was able to obtain the magical powers of the dead wood cicada when he was building his foundation.

"If you want to master the art of escaping, I'm afraid you'll have a long way to go."

Lin Bai thought for a long time but got nothing.

Miaomiao saw that Lin Bai looked thoughtful, so she didn't disturb him and just stared at him with her big eyes.

Lin Bai put the book away and continued chatting with Miaomiao.

The master and the disciple talked for a long time, but it was all nonsense.

Just when he was about to send her back to Yuhu Lake, a spiritual force came in from outside.

After opening the door, he saw a solemn man standing outside. It was Zhu Jianyang.

"Grandpa!" Miaomiao rushed over quickly.

"Good child." Zhu Jianyang patted Miaomiao's head gently, with a kind and loving look on his face.

"A letter?" Lin Bai asked.

Zhu Jianyang nodded gently, "Let's go, Gu Fang asked you to go too."
