The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 203 Big River
All I see are broken stones and branches.

Where the cobblestone was before, only a pair of giant butterfly wings remained.

The butterfly's wings were colorful, mottled and disordered, extremely beautiful and extremely ugly, with a bizarre appearance, yet faintly pure and flawless.

The cicada's wings trembled slightly, but did not cause any wind, but it seemed to be in line with some logic, causing the earth to shake.

There seemed to be infinite suction on the strange butterfly wings. Lin Bai held Xiuxiu's small hand tightly and quickly moved towards the butterfly wings. Lin Bai did not forget to gently pinch Xiuxiu's small hand and looked into the distance.

The stars and the moon shone brighter, and in the distance, birds and animals cried. The oasis seemed to be boiling, torn apart by huge cracks. Large tracts of trees sank into the ground, and then high mountains rose again.

Further away, the yellow sand was rapidly swallowing up the oasis like an invading beast.

The world changes dramatically in an instant.

Many monsters and monks were sucked in, unable to control themselves. Many of them were smashed to pieces by rocks and trees, and the blood mist stuck to the dust, which was really terrifying.

Looking behind him, Huang Ruhua was in a very miserable state, holding the tail of a green snake that came from nowhere, and looking at Lin Bai and Xiuxiu eagerly.

The earth collapsed, the mountains were destroyed, and all things changed. Only the Milky Way continued to hang from the sky, shining brightly and making it even more gorgeous.

Endless light flows into the butterfly wings, leaving behind star-like marks.

The starlight and colorful light intertwined on the butterfly's wings, as if they had merged into a big river.

Lin Bai held Xiuxiu tightly, and then touched the butterfly's wings, without any feeling of good or bad.

His body trembled slightly, and he seemed to fall into an endless tornado. His head ached like a thousand needles stabbing him. His sea of ​​consciousness was boiling, his sea of ​​qi was swollen, and his whole body seemed to be about to burst.

Lin Bai still didn't let go of Xiuxiu's hand, but held it tightly. After enduring for five or six breaths, he felt as if his whole body had turned into countless stars and endless flowing sand in the river, and he no longer felt any discomfort.

After many days of tempering the body with starlight, it finally paid off.

I looked around intently, and all I saw was flowing light and starlight. It was difficult for Xiuxiu and I to see each other clearly even when we were face to face.

The two of them fell rapidly along with the stream of light. They didn't know how long it had been before they suddenly separated from the starlight and saw an endless river in front of them.

The river was mighty and rolling, and it was endless, with no idea where the other side was.

Looking upward, I don't know where it starts;
Looking far downstream, I don’t know where to go.

The river seems to be able to swallow everything in the world, and it also seems as if everything in the world is the river itself.

The river water is sometimes clear and sometimes turbid, and beneath it there are white bones and also green mountains and forests.

Whatever he saw, his heart was filled with all kinds of emotions, and Lin Bai even had the idea of ​​going into the river.

The water in Canglang is so clear that I can hold my tassel on it;

The water of Canglang is turbid, and can wash my feet.

Just as I was about to take a step, my palm felt hot and Xiuxiu pulled me.

For a moment, it seemed as if it had crossed time and space and finally landed on earth.

Lin Bai felt a stinging pain in his sea of ​​consciousness and had no time to rub his head before he immediately took precautions.

After taking two breaths, his eyes regained clarity.

He took out a fluorite stone and looked around. He was in a cave. It was about ten feet wide and seven or eight feet high.

There are four other passages, all of which are dark and no one knows where they lead to.

This place is extremely dry, the walls of the cave are full of pits and are yellow-brown in color. The ground is covered with gravel and fine sand, and there is not a single footprint.

It has been a long time since anyone has stepped foot here. Although the place is small, it feels desolate, as if it has been worn away by time for countless years.

Throw out the fluorite and set it on the top of the cave.

His spiritual consciousness dispersed, and he could not hear any living creature.

Looking at Xiuxiu again, he saw that she was looking at him. Her eyes were dark and bright, and she tilted her head slightly, with a look of curiosity and joy.

"Are you okay?" Lin Bai held her hand with one hand and pinched her arm and shoulder with the other.

He was indeed a little thinner, and he didn't know whether it was because Qu Chengjia had withheld his food or because the stinky fox had refused to let him eat.

I will definitely seek justice when I get back.

But her face is white and tender with a faint blush, which makes her look pretty and charming.

Then he pinched her cheeks, and Lin Bai was satisfied.

"I'm fine." Xiuxiu's face turned redder. She raised her other hand, revealing the ring on it. "Fairy Chenyu gave it to me to protect me."

Lin Bai felt a little sad: The fox is really not stingy, she is just stingy with me.

"Did you see that river just now?" Lin Bai held her hand tightly.

"No." Xiuxiu shook her head slightly and allowed Lin Bai to hold her hand.

"Then what did you see?" Lin Bai was very puzzled. He and Xiuxiu had never been separated, so how come he saw it but Xiuxiu didn't?

And when he saw the endless river, he wanted to go down into the river, but Xiuxiu pulled him back, and he was able to leave safely.

If there is any difference, it is probably the starlight body tempering.

"I only saw the starlight." Xiuxiu was about the same height as Qu Ruyi, but a little shorter than Sister Pei. So she tilted her head slightly, with a smile on her face, and looked at Lin Bai with great curiosity, and then said, "We were teleported here. You were in a daze just now, so I pulled you."

"Teleport?" Lin Bai thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

When I escaped from Cang Yun Sect, I got the fox's secret treasure of teleportation. I also felt dizzy at that time, but it was not as painful as this time.

"Yes." Xiuxiu nodded affirmatively, "Fairy Chenyu is proficient in all kinds of methods, especially the way of space. She set up many teleportation arrays in Mianlong Mountain, and I was fortunate to use them several times. What I experienced just now was the same as Fairy Chenyu's method. It's just that we are in a small world, and we are teleporting by the light of the stars, so the feeling of physical discomfort is more severe."

Hearing this, Lin Bai was so relieved. Little girl Xiuxiu had really grown up. She spoke eloquently and logically, and had no bad habits like the girls from the three sects.

"Why didn't Huang Ruhua come with us?" Lin Bai looked around again.

"The butterfly's wings are colorful. Perhaps Senior Sister Huang was a step behind us, so it landed somewhere else." Xiuxiu looked at Lin Bai and said, "Do you know her name? The Yun Zhonghe that Sister Ruyi always mentions is your alias, right?"

She blinked her big eyes and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Has Fairy Chen Yu ever praised you for your intelligence?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"The fairy only calls me stupid and bullies me in a sarcastic way." Xiuxiu tilted her head slightly, "Just like you always bullied me in the past."

"I'll help you teach her a lesson later!" Lin Bai was very angry. This stinky fox bullied whoever he caught without any law.

"Okay!" Xiuxiu nodded happily.

"You have studied the way of fate, know the changes of the four seasons, understand the principles of good and bad fortune, and understand the mechanism of heaven and earth." Lin Bai has always been good at praising people, and he spared no effort to praise Xiuxiu. "What should we do? Please show us the way."

When you first arrive in a strange place, it is not the time to chat, the most important thing is to do business.

The crazy woman Lu Qingyin and the insane Qin Fengyu are here. Although Lin Bai is not afraid of them, he should go to their homes to settle the grudge and let them harm fewer people.

"Then go find Sister Huang first." Xiuxiu pulled her hand back and tied up her hair. She took out a jade hairpin and tied up Lin Bai's hair. Then she took out an ant the size of a soybean and said with a smile, "Sister Huang said you gave it to her."

"I forgot everything." Lin Bai looked at the Concentric Ants with an unchanged expression.

At that time, he went there to build his foundation. After sending the Tongxin Ant to Huang Ruhua, he helped Jiang Yatou to build her foundation. Afterwards, Huang Ruhua naturally knew what happened in the cave.

"Did Xiao Huang say anything else to you?" Lin Bai asked casually.

"That's not the case." Xiuxiu shook her head, "Master didn't allow her to mention the name Yun Zhonghe to me."

Xiuxiu blinked her eyes, looked at Lin Bai carefully for a while, and then said: "Especially don't let Sister Huang mention your romantic affairs."

"..." Lin Bai had a headache and felt more and more that foxes were not human.

Xiuxiu smiled and said nothing more. She held the heart ant in her hand and said, "Let's go. Let's find Sister Huang first."

"Okay." Lin Bai took out another fluorite.

"This is for you." Xiuxiu took out five talismans and said, "This is an escape talisman, given to me by Fairy Chenyu. If I'm in danger, I can escape."

She was very serious. "There is a female cultivator in Jiuyin Mountain named Lu Qingyin. She has many skills and is very careful. She is no match for anyone." "She is no match for me." Lin Bai took one and made her curl her lips. Then he took the rest and said confidently, "I beat her half to death."

Seeing that Lin Bai accepted it, Xiuxiu happily stared into Lin Bai's eyes and said with a smile: "Just now you were trying to be calm, but now you are telling the truth. I am not good at fighting, you have to protect me, just like before."

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Bai's clothes as she did in the past and whispered, "Don't get separated again."

In the past, the two of them went up the mountain together to collect herbs and to see patients together. Lin Bai was indeed responsible for protecting them, and they only got separated once.

Xiuxiu figured out the direction, and Lin Bai, holding the fluorite in his hand, entered the dark passage. As expected, Xiuxiu kept holding on to the hem of Lin Bai's clothes and refused to let go.

After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road.

Xiuxiu pointed in the direction again and marked the fork. "I made an agreement with Sister Ruyi." She smiled at Lin Bai. "She admires you very much. She often talks about how good you are at making pills and how you are a gentleman. Your peers in the sect all think that you and her are secretly in a relationship."

"I'm innocent." Lin Bai and Qu Ruyi were indeed innocent. There was no romantic relationship between them. They were more like brothers who shared weal and woe.

"What about Pei Ning? Did she come with you?" Xiuxiu asked as they walked.

Now that Xiuxiu has grown stronger, she used to call Pei Ning "Uncle Master", but now she calls him by his name.

"She joined the Tianchi sect, and I am practicing as a casual cultivator." Lin Bai said.

"You also accepted a disciple? Let me meet him some other day." Xiuxiu was very interested.

When Miaomiao was mentioned, Lin Bai thought of the matter of the bamboo hat.

At that time, Miaomiao said a lot of nice things, and it turned out that she had said those words to more than one person, and had given the hat to more than one person!
Lin Bai often fools others, but as a master, he was fooled by his apprentice. Lin Bai felt embarrassed and thought that when he returned, he would definitely use that girl to test the formation!
"That little girl is so naughty!" Lin Bai was so angry that his teeth itched, "Help me teach her a lesson later!"

"Why is she naughty? I heard from sister Ruyi that Miaomiao is obedient, sensible, well-behaved and cute." Xiuxiu asked puzzledly.

"You'll know when you see it." Lin Bai sighed.

"Aren't you the best at coaxing children?" Xiuxiu smiled, as if hinting at something.

The two of them were talking while trying to find a way.

After a while, I saw someone in front of me.

"Who is coming?" It was a female voice, with a warning tone.

It’s just that he is very familiar, it’s the annoying Cheng Shuang.

"Qiaoshan Lin Zhuanlun!" Lin Bai gave his name.

"Qiaoshan Cheng Shuang!" Cheng Shuang jumped out from the darkness, "Hahaha! Brother Zhuanlun, we are really destined to be together!" She looked at Xiuxiu, and seeing Xiuxiu holding onto Lin Bai's clothes, she smiled and said, "You have hooked up with another lover? This isn't Qu Ruyi!"

Is this person sick? Lin Bai lost his temper, glanced at Cheng Shuang, and secretly cursed this woman for her lack of tact.

"Cheng Shuang! Don't be rude! For cultivators like us, what's wrong with having more companions? Brother Zhuanlun is a dashing man, and he's eager to help others. If I were a woman, I... I would introduce my sisters to him!" Cheng Daojin also jumped out and immediately scolded Cheng Shuang.

"Let me find you a Taoist companion first!" Cheng Shuang said.

Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel again, Lin Bai quickly stopped them and introduced Xiuxiu to them.

When the Cheng brothers and sisters heard the name Xiuxiu, they immediately showed respect.

It’s not that I respect Xiuxiu’s ability, but that I respect the fox behind her.

After a few polite words, Lin Bai asked the Cheng brothers and sisters about their experience of this trip.

Cheng Shuang was about to speak, but Lin Bai held her down, allowing only Cheng Daojin to speak.

After talking for a long time, Lin Bai finally understood.

It turned out that after the Cheng brothers and sisters, Li Xinghe and Ye Ruoqing entered this place, they lost contact and acted on their own.

The Cheng brothers and sisters wandered around here for a long time, but gained nothing and met no one.

This should be a cave, no one knows how high it is or how deep it is.

There are few living creatures, but monsters appear occasionally.

There are passages everywhere, and no one knows where they lead to.

The Cheng brothers and sisters explored for a long time but did not encounter any opportunities. They did fight with people from Jiuyin Mountain twice.

"There is a female cultivator with white hair and is extremely ferocious. If this cave was not made of sand and rocks, and if it weren't for the fact that her magical powers were compatible with my brother's, you wouldn't be able to see us today, Brother Zhuanlun!" Cheng Shuang was still frightened.

White hair, female cultivator, fierce, isn’t this Lu Qingyin?
Seeing that the two of them had gained nothing and had gotten up early but still failed to catch the market, Lin Bai didn't know whether he should laugh or not.

After chatting for a while, the four of them walked together.

"Cheng Shuang, are you familiar with Qin Rensong and Qin Fengyu?" Lin Bai asked about his enemy.

"Qin Rensong is a casual cultivator, and no one knows where he came from. He got together with Sect Leader Yue more than ten years ago, and it seems that he works for Sect Leader Yue in private."

"As for Qin Fengyu, I did meet her once, but we didn't talk much. But I knew at first sight that she must be a flirt!"

Cheng Shuang patted his chest and said, "Don't disbelieve me! We are both women, and I know women best! For example, Senior Sister Yang Huan is actually a bit silly; for example, Gu Feixue is actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

Lin Bai believed it because what Cheng Shuang said was correct.

"If you meet Qin Fengyu, be careful. She is not a good person." Lin Bai warned.

When the Cheng brothers and sisters entered the secret realm, they were rescued by Lin Bai and traveled together with him, so they believed Lin Bai's words without a doubt.

Moreover, the two of them were after the Nascent Soul stage, and they had never gotten along well with Yue Fengshu, so naturally they didn't think much of Yue Fengshu's people.

After talking for a long time, they continued to move forward. Cheng Shuang and Xiu Xiu chattered and asked about the fox's misfortune.

Two hours later, someone was seen in the passage ahead.

After meeting her, it turned out to be Huang Ruhua.

However, there was another male cultivator who was also an acquaintance, Yang Chen.

But Yang Chen seemed to be in a bad mood and a little depressed.

"Xiu Xiu!" Huang Ruhua hurried over when she saw Xiu Xiu.

When she saw Xiuxiu tugging at Lin Bai's clothes, her expression changed and she frowned and said, "Master told me not to tell Xiuxiu about you. I thought Master was overthinking it, but I didn't expect that he was so far-sighted."

What does this have to do with anything? Lin Bai lost his temper and pretended not to understand.

Yang Chen also came over. They were not strangers, so only Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua needed to be introduced.

Yang Chen felt even more helpless after knowing Xiuxiu's background.

The reason is simple, it's because the Yuanying fox came from the Yang family, but was not kept by the Yang family.

"Junior Sister Xiuxiu." Yang Chen saluted.

"Brother Yang." Xiuxiu also bowed. "I've heard Master talk about you. He said that you are a great figure of this generation in the Yang family."

"Anything else to say?" Yang Chen asked.

"He also said that Senior Brother Yang Shu is... a good person." Xiuxiu said.

"Anything else?" Yang Chen asked again.

"They also said that Senior Sister Yang Huan is the most extraordinary and can attain enlightenment while drinking and having fun." Xiuxiu glanced at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai pretended not to know and just talked to Huang Ruhua.

After all the fuss and nonsense, it's time to decide the way forward.

Everyone looked at Xiuxiu. They obviously knew that this person who had formed a life contract with Yuanying was also a disciple of Qu Chengjia. He must be well versed in the theory of fate and yin and yang and knew the future of fortune and misfortune.

Xiuxiu didn't hesitate, she took out the bronze mirror and gently stroked it with her hand.

There are ripples on the mirror surface, and the moon's shadow is visible.

There is a faint green color above the moon shadow, like the outline of a fox.
