The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 193 Stargazing at Broken Bridge
The stars are falling and the night is getting darker.

Passing through the dense branches, you can see the bright moon casting a faint white glow.

Fireflies flew out one by one and butterflies danced.

The strange vision gradually disappeared and everyone came back to their senses.

It looks even more eerie under the tall trees.

Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang were dressed in rags, and their faces were black and gray.

In the distance, fire frogs were howling incessantly, attracting other monsters to follow. For a while, the roars of beasts could be heard one after another.

"But Fellow Daoist Yun Zhonghe?" Cheng Daojin bowed and saluted, saying, "I will never forget your kindness in saving me!"

"Brother Cheng, you're welcome." Lin Bai was very modest.

"I heard from Yang Bing that you and Gu Yao were together. I didn't expect you to learn a powerful formation!" Cheng Shuang also bowed and saluted, then stood up and asked curiously, "Gu Yao is the most rude. How many times did you sleep with her before she taught you the method?" Cheng Shuang crossed his arms and warned seriously, "Gu Yao is the most loved by the old ancestor of the Gu family. You have to be careful."

Lin Bai felt that the fox had said that Cheng Shuang was naughty, but he had never said that she was a bad mouth! Could it be that the fire frog was provoked by you? If all the Qiaoshan Sect members were such unreliable people, then they should just disband.

I heard that Cheng Yiyu, the eldest sister of the Cheng family, is a gentle and virtuous person. She must be more reliable than Cheng Shuang.

"Cheng Shuang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Before Lin Bai could argue, Cheng Daojin got angry.

"How did I say nonsense?" Cheng Shuang also got angry, wiped the black dust on his forehead, and said angrily: "Everything I said is true! Yang Bing told me a long time ago that Gu Yao is an unruly bitch! Daoist Yun Zhonghe has a noble character and is eager to help others. It must be that Gu Yao was flirting!"

"Don't listen to Yang Bing's nonsense all day long! She has a grudge against Gu Yao, and she's throwing all kinds of dirty words at me!" Cheng Daojin still had his reason and tried to refute, "Regardless of what Gu Yao is like, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhonghe already has a Taoist partner, and he's a noble person, how could he be so self-conscious and commit adultery in front of Grandmaster Gu?"

"That's hard to say! Senior Sister Yang Huan is also an honest person, but recently I heard that she has a gigolo outside and sends him big and small items!"

"Yang Huan is a drunkard, maybe he was cheated by someone, why do you want to slander his innocence?"

"What innocence? I talked to her, and the lust between her eyebrows can't be concealed at all! I bet that she must have got the magic and found someone to work hard, or forced someone to swallow the Tiger and Wolf Pills, imitating the Jiang family story!"

The brother and sister started quarreling.

Lin Bai rubbed his brows, wanting to persuade, but finding it difficult to interrupt.

Ye Ruoqing on the other side was also feeling helpless. She pulled Lin Bai and came to the side.

"You see. Even wealthy families are not necessarily reliable."

Ye Ruoqing was really a chatterbox. She pointed at Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang and said, "Come to think of it, what's your name? You were Wang Dabao, then Lin Zhuanlun, and now you're called Yun Zhonghe?" She stared at Lin Bai with a curious look and said with a smile, "You have too many names! But the name Yun Zhonghe is quite familiar. I remember that the Taoist partner of Senior Sister Pei of Tianchi Sect was called Yun something..."

Having said this, Ye Ruoqing covered her mouth.

"Yes." Lin Bai admitted frankly, "I am the alchemist who made the Tiger Wolf Pill to feed her. My real name is Lin Zhuanlun."

"Hey, Brother Lin, you..." Ye Ruoqing looked embarrassed and whispered, "I'm sorry for offending you with my previous words, please don't take it to heart."

"They are all trivial matters." Lin Bai smiled.

Ye Ruoqing didn't dare to say anything else and just watched the Cheng siblings quarreling.

"Ahem!" After a quarter of an hour, Lin Bai finished watching the show and finally spoke up, separating the two of them, saying, "Stop it."

Sure enough, as soon as the savior made a move, the Cheng brothers and sisters immediately held back their impulses.

"We are in a dangerous place, with many difficulties and challenges ahead. Now is not the time to argue." Lin Bai spoke with great truth as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Yun is right. Please don't take my words seriously, I am just being unreasonable." Cheng Daojin said.

"Brother Yun is right. My brother doesn't have much brains, you don't need to care about him." Cheng Shuang said.

Lin Bai had a severe headache. If he had known, he would not have saved him.

He patiently took out the pills and asked the two of them to swallow them.

The spiritual energy here is quite strong, mostly earth and wood, giving a sense of vitality, making it most suitable for healing and recuperation.

Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang finally listened to the advice, changed into clean clothes, and meditated to recover.

Lin Bai asked Ye Ruoqing to be on guard duty, while he went out alone to patrol the surroundings.

There were only a few monsters within a five-mile radius while patrolling, and they posed no threat.

Lin Bai followed the original path and went to the place where he had set up the formation previously.

The seven red-backed fire frogs had disappeared, all the battle flags were knocked to the ground, and the trees were broken and the whole place was in a mess.

After collecting the battle flag, Lin Bai turned around again and then returned the same way.

Came to the place where the Cheng brothers and sisters and Ye Ruoqing were resting.

"Brother Lin, is there anything unusual?" Ye Ruoqing had become familiar with Lin Bai, and his timid nature was fully revealed.

"No." Lin Bai shook his head slightly and sat down to rest.

When we got to the stone plate, everything was normal.

He opened his eyes again, stroked the bronze mirror on his waist, took off the wine gourd from his waist, and took two gulps.

"Give me some too, hehe." Ye Ruoqing took out a tree root carved cup from somewhere.

How can you make it when you are in a dangerous place and you are still greedy? Lin Bai poured her a glass, "This is the osmanthus wine from the Yang family in Qiaoshan. It tastes okay. In fact, if you want to talk about sweetness, it has to be the monkey wine from Mianlong Mountain."

"No matter what kind of wine it is, it can always help me forget my sorrows." Ye Ruoqing drank it nervously. "Do you think I can find him?"

"As long as we keep each other in our hearts, we can meet each other even across thousands of miles of rivers and seas." Lin Bai smiled and filled her glass again.

"Did you travel tens of thousands of miles to look for someone? Did you find him?" Ye Ruoqing seemed to be thinking about something.

"I guess I found her. Although I haven't seen her in person, I know she is peaceful and happy." Lin Bai smiled.

"You are such a loser!" Ye Ruoqing actually lectured him, "Go find her at her house! What are you afraid of? Is there a Golden Core guarding her? Or is there a Nascent Soul guarding her?"

"..." Lin Bai was too lazy to pay attention to her and went to wait on the tree alone.

When daybreak comes, the fireflies disappear and butterflies begin to fly back.

The Cheng siblings also opened their eyes. They were not seriously injured, but they had consumed too much spiritual energy.

The two siblings were well-mannered and thanked Lin Bai and Ye Ruoqing again and again.

"What happened after you two entered the secret realm, and how did you encounter the fire frog?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Did you poke the fire frog's nest?" Ye Ruoqing asked curiously.

"That's right." Cheng Shuang's face was covered in black and gray, but he nodded seriously.

"It's all my sister's fault!" Cheng Daojin gritted his teeth angrily.

The two siblings started talking to each other again, and Ye Ruoqing interrupted from time to time to ask questions.

After a long commotion, Lin Bai finally sorted out the matter.

It turned out that when the Cheng brothers and sisters first entered the secret realm, they were also separated. However, the two of them brought the Tongxin Jade Jue with them, and they found each other within two days.

After the two of them reunited, they discussed while following the strange vision of the galaxy and went deeper into the oasis.

After two days of walking, there were more monsters along the way, so the two of them walked slowly and cautiously. After another two days, they saw a Qi training state fire frog.

The brother and sister were not afraid of the mere Qi-cultivating monsters, and the fire frog did not seem to value its territory and did not attack anyone.

The brother and sister hid away, Cheng Daojin rested and recovered, and Cheng Shuangxing took on the responsibility of guarding them.

However, when Cheng Shuang saw that she did not encounter any danger after entering the oasis, her vigilance was reduced a little, and she became interested again. She even picked up a branch and poked the fire frog to play with it.

But the fire frog was so stupid that it just jumped around when poked and didn't fight back at all.

Cheng Shuang poked it for a while, felt it was boring, and was about to leave, but the fire frog suddenly started croaking.

Then the fire frog called, and four fire frogs in the Foundation Establishment stage jumped out, including one fire frog in the late Foundation Establishment stage!

The four fire frogs called their friends and broke through the trees and forests to come. Cheng Shuang was caught off guard. In order to save his sister, Cheng Daojin threw out a talisman to kill two fire frogs, but the remaining fire frogs seemed to be crazy and chased them desperately. The Cheng brothers and sisters could only flee in embarrassment. "I thought there was only one fire frog, but I didn't expect it to call a whole family!" Cheng Shuang punched the tree in anger.

Lin Bai was stunned after hearing this. The fox said Cheng Shuang was naughty, and he was right!

Ye Ruoqing was also stunned. Although she was unreliable, she was an honest person after all, and not stupid.

But these children from wealthy families are particularly bold because they have something in their hands.

Lin Bai decided to stay away from the Cheng brothers and sisters to prevent them from causing trouble and bringing disaster to himself.

"Come to think of it," Cheng Daojin also spoke up, "On my way to escape, I saw two people from Jiuyin Mountain besieging a fellow Taoist from Yunxia Sect in the distance."

"That's right!" Cheng Shuang immediately interjected, saying solemnly: "At that time, the Taoist friend from the Yunxia Sect was already in a difficult situation and clearly unable to hold on. I wanted to drive the tiger away to swallow the wolf and divert the disaster to the east, but there were too many fire frogs and they were too ferocious, so the two of us had no time to implement it!" There was a look of emotion on her face, as if she was sighing and regretting.

Ye Ruoqing stared at Cheng Shuang with wide eyes. This was the first time she heard that driving away the tiger and swallowing the wolf could be used in this way. What about diverting the trouble to others? The trouble is about to drown you, right?

"We have always been on good terms with the Yunxia Sect, and Patriarch Gu has been at odds with the Jiuyin Mountain recently. The two of us should lend a helping hand, it's all my younger sister's fault that caused the trouble!" Cheng Daojin was extremely angry.

"What does that friend from Yunxia Sect look like? Do you know his name?" Lin Bai asked seriously.

"I don't know his surname." Cheng Shuang shook her head and continued, "But I heard a female cultivator from Jiuyin Mountain call that person 'Qu'. He must be a member of the clan of Senior Qu Chengjia."

Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier? Lin Bai immediately stood up, grabbed Cheng Daojin's wrist, and said, "Where is it? Point it out quickly!"

"Over there!" Cheng Daojin pointed to the way they came. He also grabbed Lin Bai and said, "Are you going to rescue them? Then everyone..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Bai jumped up and fled into the forest!

"Fellow Daoist Yun is a casual cultivator, but he is so eager to help others. He doesn't think about himself, but only about others. He is even more proactive than saving his own lover. It's really rare!" Cheng Shuang praised.

"That's right!" Cheng Daojin rarely agreed with her sister, and clapped his hands in agreement, "We should follow her and save Senior Brother Qu!"

"Me too." Ye Ruoqing knew very well that the Cheng siblings were unreliable, and she had no intention of forming a team with them, so she just wanted to catch up with Lin Zhuanlun.

The three were about to set off when they saw Lin Bai had already returned.

"You were talking about Senior Brother Qu just now? Not Kun Dao?" Lin Bai asked Cheng Daojin curiously.

"That's right!" Cheng Daojin looked as if he was determined to follow her till death, "Let's go and rescue her now!"

If it was Senior Sister Qu, then he would certainly go and rescue her. But now that it was Senior Brother Qu, Lin Bai lost interest.

However, considering my friendship with Qu Ruyi, I might as well go and take a look. Who knows where Qu Ruyi is?

"We still need to think about this matter carefully." Lin Bai calmed down again, "Tell me more about the situation at that time. What did the people from Jiuyin Mountain look like, and what magical powers did they have?"

The Cheng brothers and sisters talked a lot, but in the end they knew nothing, it was almost like they farted.

"Alright, alright, let's go now." Lin Bai interrupted helplessly, "The four of us should work together and not have any dissenting ideas. I am good at refining pills and setting up formations, and I can create fog that obscures vision."

"My magical power is the boundless falling trees, which can stop and confuse the enemy, and I am best at assisting!" Ye Ruoqing also hurriedly explained.

"My element is wind and sand, and I'm also good at confusing the enemy and hiding their tracks." Cheng Daojin said.

"My natal sword is Frost Sword, and I cultivate the ice sword intent, which is far superior to Gu Feixue." Cheng Shuang boasted.

No wonder his brother and sister get together, it turns out they can cooperate with each other.

Lin Bai had walked side by side with Gu Feixue before, and at that time he thought that person was stupid, but now when comparing them, he felt that Gu Feixue was a normal person.

Among the descendants of the three Yuanying families of Qiaoshan Sect, the magical powers of Gu Feixue, Yang Bing and Cheng Shuang can all be related to ice and snow, which can be considered similar. Lin Bai finally understood why Cheng Shuang disliked Gu Yao. It turned out that people in the same industry are enemies, and Cheng Shuang was not convinced by Gu Feixue and hated Gu Feixue.

Cheng Shuang seems to be on good terms with Yang Bing, and it seems that her ability is superior to Yang Bing's.

The children of the wealthy and powerful families are also competing secretly, which is very boring.

The four of them all confessed their true colors, and agreed that Cheng Daojin would be first, followed by Ye Ruoqing and Cheng Shuang. If they encountered an enemy, they would help Cheng Shuang to draw his sword and kill the enemy.

Lin Bai coordinated at the last moment to prevent everyone from getting caught up.

The four of them set off along the road.

Along the way, there were fluttering butterflies and no danger.

Lin Baizhui was the last one, leaving secret marks along the way.

"It's here!" After walking slowly for more than an hour, Cheng Shuang pointed forward.

I saw many tall trees broken and a big hole on the ground, which showed that the battle was fierce.

Feeling nothing, Lin Bai asked Cheng Daojin and Ye Ruoqing to check around, while he took Cheng Shuang forward to check.

It’s not that he looks at Cheng Shuang differently, but he is afraid that she will cause trouble.

After a careful inspection of the battlefield, I found bloodstains and broken spiritual weapons. When pieced together, it should be a copper bowl or something like that.

There are no hidden marks on the tall trees here.

Seeing that they had gained nothing, the four of them gathered together to discuss.

Cheng Shuang said that he wanted to seek revenge on the Fire Frog, and planned to defeat them one by one; but Cheng Daojin thought that they should go to find the source of the galaxy as soon as possible, as chance was the key.

Ye Ruoqing was of a soft nature and didn't say a word.

After arguing for a long time, no rules were come up.

"Many of the people who entered the secret realm this time are outstanding, and Jiuyin Mountain and our Qiaoshan have already torn their relations. Therefore, if we follow the strange vision of the galaxy, I am afraid it will be full of dangers."

Lin Bai suppressed his headache and said solemnly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of each other by then. In my opinion, it is better to separate. The three of you go together, and I will go alone."

"How can that be? That's not right!" Ye Ruoqing spoke immediately.

Lin Bai was very pleased, thinking that his care for her was not in vain. But when he looked closely at her eyes, he saw that she was not even looking at the Cheng siblings, obviously thinking that the Cheng siblings were not as reliable as Lin Bai.

"Many hands make light work! We are weak to begin with, how can we separate?" Cheng Shuang made a point.

"That's right!" Cheng Daojin also said so.

"In that case, you must obey my orders this time!" Lin Bai said.

The Cheng siblings and Ye Ruoqing had no objections.

The four of them continued forward, passing through the forest and the butterflies, avoiding any monsters they encountered.

After another three days, they came across a small river.

As we walked along the river, it gradually became wider. After half a day, we saw a stone arch bridge connecting the two banks.

But the stone bridge was in tatters, one side had collapsed, and only half of it remained standing over the river, and it was overgrown with weeds.

It was night time, the sky was full of stars, butterflies were dancing, fireflies were twinkling, and in the distance there were sounds of animals.

There was a man standing on the broken bridge, wearing a black Taoist robe, gazing at the stars with his hands behind his back.

Lin Bai and others watched from afar and felt that all the stars and rivers were integrated into that person's body, which was in accordance with the laws of nature and the wonder of the Tao.

"It's Brother Xinghe!" Ye Ruoqing had been following behind Lin Bai with a timid look on her face, but now she jumped up happily and flew up immediately.

"Junior Sister Ye is too reckless and unwise." Cheng Shuang actually had the nerve to say that others were unwise.

Li Xinghe stood at the head of the Broken Bridge, slowly looked at the four people opposite with a faint smile on his face.

Ye Ruoqing stood on the shore, looking up at Li Xinghe on the broken bridge.

The two were very close to each other, separated only by a broken bridge over the river.

"Brother Xinghe, I finally found you!" Ye Ruoqing acted like a little girl, exceptionally gentle.

"There is a river ahead and a broken bridge that blocks the way. You and I are like Cang and Shang, so why should we persist?" Li Xinghe said.

"No river can stop me." Ye Ruoqing did not fly in the air, but waded through the river. When she reached the river, she pointed at Lin Bai and said, "That fellow Taoist Zhuanlun was able to cross tens of thousands of miles of sea waves to find someone, so why would I be afraid of just a few steps in shallow water?"
