The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 205 Gatekeeping
"What are you doing lying on the ground?"

Lin Bai half-knelt down and turned Qu Ruyi over, only to see a face covered in dust, disheveled hair, and blood at the corners of his mouth.

In his hand he was still tightly grasping a jade ruyi.

Qu Ruyi was originally happy to see Lin Bai, but when she heard these words, she immediately became angry and wanted to hit Lin Bai with Yu Ruyi, but she couldn't raise her hand.

"What's up with her?"

Lin Bai stood up, gently kicked Qu Ruyi's foot, and looked at Ye Ruoqing.

"Senior Sister Qu fought with Lu Qingyin for a few rounds, but was ambushed and fell into an illusion. It was Brother Xinghe who woke her up." Ye Ruoqing hurriedly explained. Seeing Qu Ruyi gritting her teeth, he added, "Aren't you good friends who depend on each other for life and death? Don't bully her."

"I see." Lin Bai looked at Yang Shu again and asked, "What about you?"

Yang Shu said nothing, nor did he look at Lin Bai.

This is a sign of self-conscious shame. It seems that Yang Shu was also beaten down by Lu Qingyin. He probably didn't hold out as long as Qu Ruyi, and he wasn't as strong as Sister Pei. He was also next to someone who loved him, so he felt even more ashamed.

"Lian Ke." Ye Ruoqing saved face for him and explained in a low voice, "If it weren't for Senior Sister Pei's rescue, I'm afraid it would have been terrible."

"I..." Qu Ruyi said with all her might, "I was just restrained by that witch."

Yang Shu collapsed in Gai Yingqiu's arms and said, "Me too."

Still being restrained? There are few people who have not been restrained by Lu Qingyin in the foundation building stage, right? Is it so difficult to tell the truth? Lin Bai glanced at the two stubborn guys and went back to watch the scene.

"You don't believe it?" Qu Ruyi asked.

"Believe it, believe it." Lin Bai said perfunctorily, not even looking at Qu Ruyi's gritting teeth.

Under the huge stone gate, Pei Ning was surrounded by seventeen flying swords and his figure flew towards Lu Qingyin.

As the man follows the sword, the sword becomes more powerful.

Lu Qingyin, leaning against the huge stone gate, looked like a fly in comparison.

However, his body movements were nimble and he moved at will, so the flying swords could not hurt him. In his left hand, he played the white jade flute from time to time, and always hit a flying sword; in his right hand, he held a small flag, and occasionally waved it, which would deflect a flying sword.

The green robe is cool and the sword is powerful; the black robe and white hair are full of magic.

The two men fought endlessly, which was really exciting. Although there were many people watching, no one stepped forward to help, and they just watched quietly.

Even Gai Yingqiu, who was holding her lover, glanced sideways from time to time.

Lin Bai watched for a while and saw that Pei Ning was attacking but could not succeed. Lu Qingyin was defending but looked relaxed and would occasionally return a blow.

Therefore, although the two women seem to be evenly matched, Sister Pei is afraid that she will not be able to last long.

Moreover, Lin Bai had fought with Lu Qingyin before, and knew Lu Qingyin's ability very well. Looking at her again this time, the white-haired Lu Qingyin's aura was even stronger, and her strength was even stronger.

"Let Sister Pei practice."

Lin Bai did not go over to help, but just looked at the people watching from a distance.

There were many familiar faces, including He Wenyao, Zhang Zhichu, and a male cultivator standing in the distance, as well as the three brothers Wan, Yan, and Qi.

The two Shangs and the disciples of the four sects. In particular, there was a man and a woman from the Tianchi sect who were quite close to each other, probably guarding Pei Ning.

Disciples of the Yunxia Sect also gathered in groups of two or three, watching the battle from afar.

Only four people showed up in Jiuyin Mountain, three men and one woman, not far from each other.

Also, on the cliff wall, there seemed to be many monsters with faint green pupils, but they were hidden in the darkness and their shapes were difficult to discern.

Lin Bai looked around and didn't see the Meng siblings and Song Jingxian. In addition, Qin Fengyu and Ye Ji didn't show up either.

After a rough count, including his own side, Xiuxiu and Cheng's group, there were actually more than forty people.

Lin Bai discovered that the people traveling with him seemed to have no injuries and were all in good health.

Except Qu Ruyi.

Seeing the intense battle situation, Ye Ruoqing grabbed Li Xinghe's sleeve, but didn't look at the field at all, just stared at Li Xinghe's eyes. "Brother Xinghe, do you think Pei Jianxian can win?"

Just now she was called Senior Sister Pei, and now she is called Immortal Pei? Lin Bai was speechless.

"Junior Sister Pei is indeed a rare talent. Even Gu Feixue and Cheng Shuang are probably slightly inferior to her." Yang Shu now knew that he had to save face, so he praised Pei Ning and belittled others.

"That's right." Qu Ruyi also managed to say something, still glaring at Lin Bai, obviously still angry.

Lin Bai was too lazy to look at the two of them, so he looked at Li Xinghe, wanting to know what he thought.

"Sword cultivators are good at fighting, and Pei Ning is good at controlling a group of swords. He is calm and composed. It is difficult for him to be a rival in the same realm."

Li Xinghe actually praised Pei Ning, and then said: "But after all, he is in the early stage. He will still suffer some disadvantages when facing a late stage foundation building."

"The early and late stages of foundation building are not insurmountable." Gai Yingqiu said.

"That Lu Qingyin has many tricks and can respond casually. It is obvious that she is experienced in fighting and has some secret skills. She must be testing Pei Ning's sword and must not have used her full strength yet."

Li Xinghe smiled and said, "No matter what, among those who entered this secret realm, they are both the best choices. At this moment, although Lu Qingyin has many skills and is comfortable and at ease, she lacks some spirituality; Pei Ning is unparalleled in sword control and has both wisdom and courage. Although he is not defeated for the time being, he will definitely be able to make further progress on the road to the great way in the future."

At this point, Li Xinghe concluded: "If Pei Ning is also in the late stage, with a rich sea of ​​qi and a stronger spiritual consciousness, and someone practices with her from time to time, she should be able to defeat Lu Qingyin. However, we need to be more cautious about Lu Qingyin's secret and forbidden techniques."

He smiled and looked at Lin Bai, and Lin Bai smiled and said, "Brother Li, what you said is exactly what I want to say!"

"Lu Qingyin has a childlike face and white hair, which is very strange. I don't know what kind of Taoism she practices." Ye Ruoqing asked curiously.

Li Xinghe smiled and looked at Lin Bai again.

"Please excuse my embarrassment, Brother Li." Lin Bai knew that his true identity had been discovered, so he smiled back and said, "Lu Qingyin was first attacked by the Dead Wood Secret Technique, and then suffered multiple flying knife injuries. If she had been building a foundation in a normal way, she would have died long ago. But she actually had another wonderful method, absorbing the energy of the colorful deer to restore herself. Her injuries were completely healed, and her aura even increased a bit. It was really strange."

At this point, Lin Bai asked earnestly, "Brother Li, do you know what this secret technique is?"

"Cai Lu is dead?" Ye Ruoqing interrupted stupidly.

Lin Bai nodded and looked at Li Xinghe. "If what you said is true, it should be a forbidden method, it should be a kind of secret method of transformation. Absorb the blood of the monster, seize its foundation, and nourish yourself." Li Xinghe smiled, "This kind of secret method should not be used lightly. It seems that you have really pushed her into a desperate situation."

"I'd like to hear more details." Lin Bai became interested.

Qu Ruyi, Yang Shu and others also pricked up their ears.

“There are three harms.”

Li Xinghe was very knowledgeable and started to talk about it. He said, "First, it is difficult to use the body of a cultivator to absorb the energy of the monster for one's own use. It seems that her cultivation has increased, but in fact there must be something wrong inside. I am afraid that only she knows the pain;"

"Secondly, all things are created by nature, and the Great Dao is not cut off. Although killing is not prohibited, this technique is ultimately harmful. All things have their reasons and causes. Practicing this method is against fate, and I am afraid that I will be punished by heaven and earth and go through many dangerous situations. If I want to form a pill, the thunder tribulation will be even more severe, and I may even be punished by heaven;"

"Third, if a person absorbs the spirit of a monster or beast and steals its soul, his own soul will inevitably be damaged. If this method is used too often, it will inevitably -"

At this point, Li Xinghe took out the wine gourd, Lin Bai took out the wine glass, Ye Ruoqing poured the wine, and Li Xinghe continued: "Just like her."

Li Xinghe pointed at Qu Ruyi with his chin.

Lin Bai went to see Qu Ruyi, only to find that Qu Ruyi was covered in dust and had disheveled hair. She was looking at him with gritted teeth, as if she was crazy.

Are you still angry? Lin Bai quickly squatted down, poured the wine in the glass to Qu Ruyi, and patted her on the back considerately.

He immediately stood up, pretending not to notice Yang Shu's expectant gaze, and looked at Li Xinghe again, asking, "Lost your mind and fell into the devil's way?"

"That's right." Li Xinghe nodded slightly.

Lin Bai said nothing and looked at the field. Lu Qingyin was indeed a little more crazy than before.

"Brother Li, do you know where Lu Qingyin is from?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Li Xinghe smiled, said nothing, and just raised his head slightly.

Everyone looked up and heard a whistling sound coming from above. In the midst of the dust and fog, they saw two lanterns rapidly descending, vaguely like blue dragons rising from the clouds.

But before the green snake could reveal its full appearance, dust began to fall all over the sky.

The whirlwind swirled up the dust, and with the breeze blowing through, it was really hard to discern the details.

Then, petals flew out in the wind and sand.

Dust was flying, the wind was whistling, the pale pink petals were as sharp as knives, and then the wind and rain came.

This scene is actually magnificent.

Everyone who was watching also looked and saw the dust, wind and rain pressing down, with a shadow of the moon hidden in it, shining right on Lu Qingyin.

Lu Qingyin stood still, as if she was trapped. She looked up at the sky, and saw a flying sword with a frosty aura suddenly coming from under the dust.

"Fancy." Lu Qingyin's body flashed with colorful light and trembled slightly. Then he took a step forward and threw out a talisman. The momentum of the flying sword immediately slowed down.

Lu Qingyin flew up and went towards the flying sword, and caught it with her hand. Then she took out a piece of smooth animal skin and looked back at Pei Ning, "There are actually sword cultivators worse than you. You two can go home and have children."

The smooth animal skin was aroused, and the golden elixir aura was released. After the talisman appeared, the gameplay was broken with one force, and the offensive of Cheng Shuang and others was ineffective.

"Go!" Cheng Shuang, whose face turned pale, also threw out a talisman in response.

The talisman roared, the power of the golden elixir was so strong that a strong wind blew up, the sand and dust dispersed, and then the sand and dust rose again.

The many monsters on the cliff wall hid themselves and dared not come out again.

Lin Bai took advantage of the situation and flew up immediately. The mist dispersed and the flying knives came out.

Pei Ning immediately followed, swords and knives flew together, and the light was bright.

"I've been waiting for you!" Lu Qingyin laughed crazily, and quickly retreated, leaning against the huge stone gate to guard against sneak attacks.

He casually threw the small flag in his hand to immediately block the flying knife attack.

However, Lin Bai did not chase after them at all. As his figure leaped, mist surrounded him, and his flying sword flew rapidly towards the four people from Jiuyin Mountain who were watching.

Dust, fog, the shadow of a spinning wheel, the flying knife cut through the brilliance, and in the blink of an eye, a life was taken.

The dust settled, and Xiuxiu, Huang Ruhua and others fell to the ground.

Yang Chen immediately went to look for Yang Shu, and Chunyu Che and his brothers quickly followed.

When the onlookers saw that the battle had begun, they just gathered slightly forward and did not go near.

The fight between Pei and Lu just now was too fierce, and the green snake that came from above was not an easy one to deal with. The onlookers seemed unwilling to help and just wanted to take advantage of the situation.

With the huge stone gate in front of them, the opportunity must be not far away. At this moment, everyone just hoped that more people would die. It didn't matter if they were fellow Taoists or friends, it would be best if they died.

"There are the fewest people in Jiuyin Mountain, and they don't get along well with Yunxia Sect and Qiaoshan, but these people just stand by and watch!" Huang Ruhua was very angry.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning also stopped. Pei Ning went to look at Xiuxiu, but Xiuxiu lowered her head and dared not look.

Pei Ning smiled and said nothing more.

"Fairy, are you going to guard the stone gate and fight at the gate?" Lin Bai stepped forward and looked at Lu Qingyin with a smile.

Lu Qingyin stroked her white hair and smiled back, "How can I not keep it?"

"It's not right to defeat a defeated general." Lin Bai said with a smile: "The opportunity is in the stone gate, and a tiger general should be sent to take charge. If you can't send a tiger, you should send a dog, and in the end it turned out to be a pig."

"My dear brother, you really compliment me." Lu Qingyin was very humble, with a crazy look in her eyes, and said with a smile: "In ancient and modern wars, pig tactics have always been used by my generation. When attacked, I will first lean my butt against the wall, so that you can't catch my tail, and finally I can't do anything to it. If you are not careful, I will bite you with my sharp teeth and won't let go."

"What nonsense!" Huang Ruhua muttered in a low voice.

Li Xinghe looked at Huang Ruhua, shook his head slightly and laughed.
