The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 216 Stone Plate
There were a man and a fox in the quiet room, and no sound was heard.

Lin Bai knelt beside the low table with a respectful look on his face, nothing like the calm elder he had been in front of the three women before.

The fox was coiled on the low table, its tail wrapped around a stone tablet, examining it carefully.

The stone tablet is called a stone tablet, but in fact no one knows what material it is made of. It just looks very simple and feels like it is made of ordinary bluestone.

It is the size of a baby's palm and has a small hole on it for the thread to pass through.

There is a word "nothing" on the front of the stone tablet, which is very simple. On the back, a few lines outline a long river, but no one knows where it starts and where it flows to.

Lin Bai had sneaked in alone before, but he didn't find the shipai strange. But the long river looked very familiar, and he had seen it before.

The fox looked for a long time, not knowing whether he saw any clues or not, but he closed his eyes again.

After a quarter of an hour, the fox did not move.

Lin Bai stood guard respectfully by the side, thinking that the fox was quite handsome when it didn't speak.

It's just that I've heard that this stinky fox can transform, but I've never seen it. I also asked Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua in the secret realm, but the two girls were very secretive.

"I guess he's very ugly and can't face people. He's ugly and has a foul mouth, which is a perfect match. It's just that Xiuxiu is wronged..."

Lin Bai kept complaining in his heart, but he remained respectful on the surface.

After a while, the fox opened its eyes, flicked its tail, and threw the stone tablet at Lin Bai's face.

"Fairy, don't throw things around!" Lin Bai caught it awkwardly and cursed a few more times in his heart.

The fox sat with its butt on the low table, its tail twirling around and then stopping.

Lin Bai was observing the fox from the side and always felt that the fox was going to do something strange.

Sure enough, the fox closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then his tail slowly moved, lightly outlining in the air.

Lin Bai held the stone tablet in his hand and looked at the fox's tail for a while, and then he knew that she was copying the long river.

Soon, the fox stopped, opened its eyes, and glared at Lin Bai fiercely.

This was a case of a failed imitation, and he was taking his anger out on others. Lin Bai knew this, but he just pretended to be innocent and ignorant.

"The atmosphere here is too lewd, it's not a good place to practice Taoism!" said the fox.

If you can't walk steadily, blame the uneven ground! If you can't do it, then don't blame others! Lin Bai immediately leaned over and said, "Please don't blame me, fairy."

Seeing that Lin Bai was a sensible person, the fox stopped causing trouble and just lay down with empty eyes, like a sage who had been drained of energy. Lin Bai felt that it was a bit like Sister Huanhuan after the incident.

After a while, the fox still didn't move, so Lin Bai asked: "Fairy, what is the use of this stone tablet? Could it be related to the Wuxiang Tomb?"

"I don't know." The fox shook his head slightly and said, "Anyway, just keep it well. Copy it more often in your spare time. It may be helpful to you."

"Thank you for your guidance, Fairy." Seeing that the fox really didn't steal things, Lin Bai quickly bowed.

However, the fox has to pay some interest if he wants to borrow something, he can't just look at it for free.

You still have to pluck the fox's fur. Foxes are very capable and they ask for some good things to make it easier for them to cause trouble in the future.

"Fairy, you have to help me!" Lin Bai did it right away and started stroking the fox's fur.

"Help you?" The fox said lazily, "Which girl do you like? I'll knock her out for you and you can just go to sleep."

You didn't let Xiuxiu see me, but sold someone else's girl? Lin Bai knew that foxes had no morals, and knew that she had never behaved like a human being, so he said, "Fairy, I'm not interested in those things." His voice was quite helpless.

"Oh?" The fox became interested and said, "I thought that you and Xiuxiu had been separated for many years, and when you just met, you were separated again. I felt guilty and wanted to help you two be together. Since you have no other thoughts, forget it."

"No, no, no." Lin Bai really had no temper. He had seen quite a few Nascent Souls. Aunt Gu was cold, Ancestor Yang was kind, Ancestor Cheng was taciturn, and Ancestor Xiang was mighty and domineering. Only the stinky fox did not look like a Nascent Soul, which was really disgusting.

"Fairy, please stop joking." Lin Bai sighed and got straight to business. "You also know that I offended Qu Chengjia of the Yunxia Sect."

As he spoke, Lin Bai stroked his fur, his tone becoming more helpless, and said, "I am only at the foundation building stage, how dare I confront the orthodox lineage of the Nascent Soul? I said those tough words at that time, and although I felt happy in my heart, in fact, these days, I have lost my appetite and have been trembling with fear, and I can't feel at peace."

"Not having peace? I see you and the little girl from the Jiang family are sleeping very happily, so you're not feeling restless either, are you?" The fox raised its tail.

"This... I am very scared."

Lin Bai was shameless. He grabbed the fox's tail and stroked it vigorously, begging, "Since Fairy can see the past from Gu Laozu's bronze mirror, you must have seen Lu Qingyin's many secret and forbidden techniques. It's hard for me to deal with the foundation building cultivator, let alone the golden elixir cultivator. I only ask Fairy to have a little mercy on me and grant me one or two secret techniques, so that I can fight Qu Chengjia without losing."

"You forced Lu Qingyin to use her secret techniques several times. Is that difficult to deal with?" asked the fox.

"After all, secret methods are hard to defend against." Lin Bai made a very reasonable point, "Qu Chengjia is a Jindan cultivator, so he must have more methods."

"Qu Chengjia practices numerology and is good at setting up defenses. You don't have to be afraid when you meet her, just run away." The fox taught considerately.

"Fairy," Lin Bai knelt down, straightened his back, and said, "I can run away for a while, but how can I run away forever? At that time, I was weak and she was strong, so I avoided her. Now that we have fallen out, I don't know when we will meet. How can I not be prepared?"

"You are a lackey of the Gu family, you should ask the Gu family for help." said the fox.

You, a fox, call me a running dog? You are a slave of three surnames! Lin Bai cursed in his heart, but he said calmly, "Although I work for the Gu family, the fairy and I are a family!"

The fox was stunned for a moment, his tail twitched slightly, and said, "You are able to sleep with so many people, you are indeed quite capable."

"Then please give me some advice, fairy!" Lin Bai quickly took advantage of the situation.

“Someone will come to teach you the Dharma some other day.” After the fox said this, he stepped into the air, and his figure gradually faded and then disappeared.

"What's the difference between running away after reading my stone plaque and running away after sleeping? At least I can say a few sweet words to you!"

Lin Bai looked at the empty cave and cursed the fox in his heart for being so unkind.

The underground fire was ignited, and he refined two furnaces of Tiger and Wolf Pills, only then did he calm down.

Take out the stone tablet and observe it carefully.

"The stinky fox asked me to copy as much as I can in my spare time. Although she always loves to cause trouble to others, she still has some knowledge. Of course, I should listen to her words."

"But she is a Nascent Soul Spirit Beast, knows many secrets, is friends with the leaders of the three sects, and is Li Xinghe's apprentice. How come she can't copy it?"

"Could it be that the original owner of this thing was higher than the Nascent Soul? Yes, that strange secret realm was able to raise the leaders of three sects, and I wonder how high the realm of the secret realm leader is. Although the fox is a Nascent Soul, after all, he is new and still far behind the three, so of course he is not as advanced as they used to be."

"Li Chenyu couldn't see any clues. Or rather, she couldn't activate or open the wonders of this stone tablet."

Lin Bai sat quietly for a long time, and was stunned for a while. He thought that although the fox had many skills, she was proficient in escape and majored in space. The long river on the stone tablet was obviously a metaphor for the river of time, so the fox naturally couldn't fit in.

"My innate magical power, the Dead Wood Cicada, can steal people's time. It can be considered as a step towards the Avenue of Time. I don't know if I can do it."

"But I'm also practicing the escape technique, I wonder if it will be as harmful as the fox."

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai looked at the stone tablet again.

The word "nothing" is very simple, and if you look closely you won't be able to tell what its meaning is.

Previously, Lin Bai had obtained the calligraphy of the genius Chen Zhiyuan. When he saw the word "sword", he felt that it meant returning to nature, and thus he obtained the pure meaning of sword.

Now let's compare the word "nothing" with the word "sword". Both of them have a sense of simplicity. The latter is indeed pure and clean, but compared with the former, it seems a bit out of harmony and no longer has the meaning of returning to nature.

"People call Chen Zhiyuan a celestial being, but how is the owner of this stone tablet compared to heaven?"

Lin Bai took out his pen and ink, and when he started writing, he had no feeling of good or bad, so he just put pen to paper.

I copied it several times, wasted a lot of paper, but got nothing out of it.

"I knew it."

Turning the stone tablet over again, he looked closely at the long river outlined by simple lines. He imitated the fox, looked at it for a long time, and then Lin Bai put pen to paper.

After painting for a while, I got nothing.

"Is the fox playing a trick on me?"

Lin Bai muttered to himself for a while, and decided to trust the fox. Although the fox's words were foul, at least it didn't lie.

After painting for a while, Lin Bai felt annoyed, so he simply painted something else, including a fox and a turtle.

After making a fuss for a while, Lin Bai closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.

Recalling the patterns on the stone tablet, I then drew in the mist and gathered it into a stone tablet.

However, something strange happened suddenly. Endless fog surged in front of him, but it was unable to condense into even a corner of the stone tablet.

Even if I have something in mind, I just can't put it into form.

In the past, the black jade cicada was condensed, imitating the meaning of the jade cicada, causing the fog to roll. Now, when a stone tablet is drawn, the fog seems to be sucked away.

It stopped immediately, and the stone tablet, which had become a corner the size of a fingernail, turned into mist and returned to its original place.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later."

"My cultivation is too low, my knowledge is too shallow, and a small horse cannot pull a big cart."

After calming down, Lin Bai began to think about the future.

After passing through the secret realm of "nothingness", I finally met Xiuxiu and put my mind at ease.

Aunt Gu has also taken revenge, so she should rest for a while and no longer have to worry about her making excessive demands.

But she had invited Xiang Wuhui, and she didn't know whether she should sell her life to Xiang Wuhui.

Anyway, this is Yuanying's business, and Lin Bai thinks it is not his turn to take care of it.

Now that I have some free time, I need to plan well.

Naturally, cultivation should be put first. Now that I have torn my face with Qu Chengjia, although I am not afraid of her causing trouble, it is right to advance as soon as possible.

The second thing is various skills. Let's put aside the method of making talismans for now, and the same goes for alchemy, as long as you can fool your apprentice, it will be fine.

But I need to pay more attention to the art of formation.

Senior Gu Laoquan is already on his last legs, but since he has promised to teach me, I have to study hard.

The deceased is like this, not giving up day and night.

The method of Hunyuan body tempering cannot be stopped. Even though there are few rivals in the same realm now, it is always right to be a little stronger.

"I practice sword skills with Sister Pei, pay Miaomiao's tuition, drink with Sister Huanhuan. I also have to train apprentices, preach at Yuhu Lake, preach at Fengming Mountain, and have many social engagements."

After thinking for a long time, I just felt that there was a lot of things to do.

"I have to learn from Senior Zhu Jianyang and retreat for a few days. After these few busy days, I will retreat for a few days after Aunt Gu rewards me for my achievements."

Lin Bai sighed, recovered a little, and then opened his eyes.

After refining two batches of pills, someone injected a stream of spiritual power into the mixture.

The good disciple is here again.

I opened the door with a headache, and sure enough, Miaomiao and Jiangyu were sewn together, and today there was also Ye Qingmeng.

The three girls bowed, and Miaomiao raised her head and walked to the alchemy furnace. She moved her nose, sniffed hard, curled her lips, and muttered, "Master, you are so idle."

This girl has been following Lin Bai in making elixirs since she was young. Although she has not learned any skills, she can at least identify many elixirs.

Lin Bai knew that she smelled the fragrance of the Tiger and Wolf Pills. He couldn't bear it anymore and was about to give her a serious scolding when he saw Miaomiao looking left and right.

"Master, where is the fox?" Miaomiao took out a thick book with six chapters of "General Knowledge of Various Forms in the Forest". She was proud and confident. She held the book in one hand and patted it with the other hand, saying with a smile: "Now that I have learned the skills, I want to identify whether the fox is male or female!"

It's okay for you to catch fleas and lice for the fox, but if you turn over the fox's fur, both master and disciple might be in trouble.

"Take a break." Lin Bai had a headache and warned, "Everything in the world has a spirit, whether it's a bird or an animal, male or female, we should be respectful and compassionate to them, and we should not tease them casually, nor bully them, and we should not try to find out whether they are male or female."

Miaomiao saw that her master was serious. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Master is right!"

Jiang Yu and Ye Qingmeng were more impressed by this senior Zhuanlun's thought-provoking words and his compassion for all living things.

Lin Bai fooled the three maids and then continued chatting with Ye Qingmeng.

Since there was no fox around, Lin Bai called him Brother Li all the time without any reservation, and felt very comfortable.

After talking for a long time, Lin Bai sent the three girls back to Yuhu Lake, competed with Jiang girl, and then returned.

Perhaps because he had too much to do, just one day later, when Lin Bai was copying the long river, someone else came.

When I opened the door, I saw that they were all familiar people.

Chun Yutong came first, bringing Chun Yuche and Chun Yuyou with him. Miaomiao and the other two girls stood aside, very well behaved.

"Brother Zhuanlun!" Chunyu Tong said in a loud voice. He used to be Brother Yun, but now he is Brother Zhuanlun. He laughed non-stop, "This is the best disciple, right?" He looked at Miaomiao.

"Senior." Miaomiao looked polite.

After the greetings, I learned that the Chunyu family came to thank the secret realm for their help.

In fact, there was no help at all, we just walked together for a while.

The Chunyu family and the Yang family are on good terms, so if they really helped, it was only because they protected Yang Shu and Yang Chen for the sake of Sister Huanhuan, and also protected the Chunyu brothers. Of course, there was also a friendship with Chunyu Ye in the past.

After some polite exchanges, Chun Yutong presented a gift. Lin Bai did not refuse and let Miao Miao accept it.

After talking for a long time, when it was time to leave, Chun Yu Tong smiled and invited Lin Bai to go to Zhutao Garden, and said that Chun Yu Ye missed him too.

After seeing off the Chunyu brothers, the Shang brothers came a day later.

Shang was a vassal of the Cheng family and was seriously injured in the secret realm. Lin Bai helped a little.

After a long exchange of pleasantries, he accepted the gift and sent the person away.

"I gave He Wenyao healing pills, but he didn't come to thank me. As the master's disciple, he doesn't know etiquette and is far inferior to me, a lowly disciple." Lin Bai sighed.

A day later, the Cheng brothers and sisters came again, and the leader was a female cultivator, Cheng Yiyu, the eldest sister of the Cheng family. I had met the Cheng brothers and sisters before in Qiaoshan Sect, but I didn't expect them to come here specially. With Cheng Shuang's unreliable personality, I'm afraid it was Cheng Yiyu who made the decision.

The fox once said that Cheng Yiyu was virtuous, and when he saw her, he found that she was indeed so.

Moreover, Cheng Yiyu is far more reliable than Cheng Shuang and Cheng Daojin. He speaks gently and considerately, which is exactly the demeanor that a child of a big family should have.

Lin Bai felt that Cheng Yiyu and Meng Yuan were somewhat similar, both were stable people.

After chatting casually, he casually asked Qu Ruyi and learned that she had gone to Tianchi Sect to find Pei Ning.

Two days later, Gu Yao came to the door in person.

"This girl is getting taller and taller." Gu Yao touched Miaomiao's head and measured her height against her chest. Without even looking at Lin Bai, she just said, "Let's go and divide the meat."

Finally, it’s time to reward the merit! Lin Bai thought Aunt Gu had forgotten about it!
