The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 236 Falling out
As Lu Qingyin finished speaking, the flags of various colors and sizes outside the courtyard began to wave, making rustling sounds.

A strong wind suddenly blew up in the forest here, blowing down trees and rustling fallen leaves.

Soon, an extremely large formation was seen enveloping the courtyard's barrier.

The flow of spiritual energy here was drawn to one place, and after the operation of the formation flags and the combination of everyone, it finally gathered on the formation plate in front of Lu Qingyin.

The spiritual energy of the five elements, combined with the strength of everyone, passed through the formation plate and arrived on the bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror was dim, and then it shone brightly, illuminating the barrier in front of the courtyard gate.

The barrier reacted immediately, creating shallow ripples like a stone being thrown into a calm pond.

The ripples spread out in circles, but gradually disappeared after only one or two feet. Although the bronze mirror was brilliant, its power was like a drop in the ocean, and it could not achieve anything.

Everyone had discussed this matter before and knew that it would be difficult to accomplish the task in a short period of time, so they did not get discouraged and only focused on executing the formation.

A day passed like this, the mirror image was luminous, and the barrier was still difficult to shake in the slightest.

According to Lin Bai and Lu Qingyin's investigation, the spiritual energy here flows slowly, and all five elements are present. Most of the spiritual energy that escapes into the courtyard is absorbed by the mulberry tree.

Based on this, the courtyard has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The wooden tables and benches, and even the gourd vines, should all be maintained by mulberry trees. Even the barrier is the same.

The barrier is not affected by the five elements, and the golden elixir attack and the foundation-building attack are like fly bites, completely useless.

Therefore, we first set up a dry water formation along the boundary to block the spiritual energy and make it less powerful than the courtyard.

Then he set up the Ten Thousand Directions Gathering Shadow Array, borrowed the spiritual energy here, transformed the power of all directions for his own use, and opened the door with all his strength.

This is what Lin Bai and Lu Qingyin have discussed, and Qu Chengjia also agrees. This formation is also often used to force open the protective formation, and the principle is to break the formation with the formation.

Lu Qingyin is the master of the formation, responsible for dispatching people. Although it seems hard, it is actually not that tiring, and the most energy is consumed when the formation is activated.

Among them, Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia, the two golden elixirs, served as wings, assisting Lu Qingyin with all their strength and making the greatest contribution.

Lin, Pei and He were at the outside and contributed the next most.

However, the formation was extremely large, covering fences and courtyards, and taking advantage of the terrain of mountains and rivers, so it was not easy for everyone.

Lu Qingyin adjusted the light of the bronze mirror from time to time, sometimes making it larger and sometimes smaller, to observe the changes in the ripples on the barrier.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and the two Jindan had rosy complexions and still had strength left.

Lu Qingyin was only in charge of the dispatching duties, so she didn't have to put in much effort. She was also very capable, so she only showed a little sign of fatigue.

He Wenyao had a special innate ability and was in the late stage of foundation building. His spiritual power seemed to be endless and he did not seem to be struggling. He even had enough energy to sneak a peek at Lu Qingyin.

Pei Ning had the lowest cultivation level among them, but she was a sword cultivator and had always been strong-willed and very patient. Although her face looked a little pale, it was not a big deal.

Lin Bai's Hunyuan Body Tempering Method has reached the seventh level. His sea of ​​consciousness and sea of ​​qi are vast, and his spiritual power is naturally rich, so he does not feel any effort.

"Everyone, please slowly stop." After a long while, Lu Qingyin spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone followed Lu Qingyin's instructions and stopped.

After a quarter of an hour, everyone calmed down a little and looked at Lu Qingyin again.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the two Jindan didn't speak, He Wenyao took the initiative to talk, and asked Lu Qingyin carefully and in a low voice.

"We can break the formation now." Lu Qingyin said.

"This..." He Wenyao was stunned, "After seven days of hard work, you only took one step?"

Yue Fengshu also looked up at Lu Qingyin.

Qu Chengjia, holding a whisk, also looked over.

"You are just mediocre people after all." Lu Qingyin was full of disdain, especially when she looked at Qu Chengjia, she looked even more contemptuous, "You just know a little about formations, how much knowledge can you have?"

She pointed to the gate of the courtyard and continued, "The great power left a chance. The barrier is like a fishing net. The five elements of spiritual energy can enter, the light of the sun and the moon can enter, the night wind of the mountains and forests can enter, and even whispers can enter. Why can't we enter? It's because the fishing net is too fine, and you and I are too bloated."

At this point, Lu Qingyin looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Lin Zhuanlun, do you understand what I mean?"

"The fairy wants to stabilize the fishing net and open a small hole to let us fish swim in. This time there is no need to destroy the fishing net, which saves a lot of time and effort, right?" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"The one who understands me is Lin Zhuanlun." Lu Qingyin stroked her white hair, reached out to take a piece of dry grass, tied up her hair, revealing her young face, and said with a smile: "Lin Zhuanlun, if you and I are together, the mediocre people here are really not worth worrying about."

"Am I not now advancing and retreating with the fairy?" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Yes, yes! Everyone is!" He Wenyao also joined in the conversation.

Lu Qingyin smiled slightly but said nothing more.

Everyone rested for a day and then started again.

This is the highlight, and it is more strenuous than before.

Pei Ning, Lin Bai and He Wenyao were only at the foundation-building stage and were naturally exhausted. So they followed Lu Qingyin's instructions and only two of them entered the formation, with the other one replacing them every day so that they would not be too tired and hurt their foundation.

The two Jindan masters have strong spiritual power and can swallow pills from time to time, so they don't need substitutes, and no one can replace them.

There is no time for a fallout until the barrier is broken, so everyone is united and working together, making rapid progress.

The luster of the bronze mirror was as small as a baby's finger at first, but in just five days it became the size of a fist.

After another ten days, it was like a bucket.

After another half month of hard work, the bronze mirror shone like a well. The candlelight reflected on the barrier, creating ripples that were more than ten feet in size.

There were no fools on the field. They knew that they were about to break through the entrance to the barrier, so they did not dare to relax at all.

Everyone sat in the formation, Lu Qingyin's face was extremely pale, it was obvious that the month of hard work was very difficult. Even with her ability that was superior to that of her peers, she felt exhausted.

It was Pei Ning's turn to rest, while Lin Bai and He Wenyao entered the battle formation. Since the three of them had been taking turns to provide reinforcements, it was not that hard. However, they were all tired after working hard for more than a month.

As for the two Jindan monks, Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia were not seriously injured, and they could take pills from time to time. Yue Fengshu seemed to have a way to rejuvenate, and Qu Chengjia had a way to keep fit, and the two of them only looked a little pale.

Lin Bai saw clearly that Yue Fengshu took less pills, while Qu Chengjia took more pills, which showed that their strengths were quite different. Of course, the former was in the late Jindan realm, while the latter was only in the middle Jindan realm, and had just touched the threshold of the late realm.

Before setting up the formation, Lin Bai discussed with Lu Qingyin how to use up the two old golden elixirs. But Lu Qingyin said that there was no need to worry too much, because both golden elixirs could survive and maintain, and each had its own way of maintaining itself.

Lin Bai didn’t know how Lu Qingyin knew so much, but he believed it anyway.

Now it seems that Lu Qingyin is indeed very accurate and can judge Yue Fengshu and Qu Chengjia's abilities as well as reading the lines on their palms.

However, the relationship was about to fall out, and Lu Qingyin had spent a lot of energy, but she did not look worried at all, and she did not know where to go.

Lin Bai himself had a few backups, one was Aunt Gu's dog chain, which could bring him back to life as long as he didn't die immediately. The other was Lu Haike's broken boat, which could block the golden elixir's attack and could be used several times. The last was the fox's fluffy fur, which could help him escape in time.

Of course, there is also the Star Escape Method. Lin Bai has never used it in front of anyone. The only people who know about this, besides Li Xinghe, are the fox who practices the Way of Space.

This went on for another half a day, and it was already noon.

The mirror image shone brightly, reflecting on the barrier, revealing a gap that was big enough for people to enter and exit.

Lin Bai looked at it for a while, and the good feeling in his heart became stronger, but the bad omen also became more serious.

Looking at the others again. Yue Fengshu had a happy expression on his face, but he was very cautious, and he kept staring at Lu Qingyin and himself. Qu Chengjia's eyebrows became more and more red, and his black robes fluttered, as if he was restless.

Lu Qingyin's face was very pale, and her white hair, which had been tied up, was scattered again, making her look even more stunning with her white hair and face.

Pei Ning sat outside the formation, closing his eyes to recover.

Lin Bai looked at He Wenyao again. He was usually a smart guy, but now he looked a little silly, and his fatigue was even more obvious. With drooping eyebrows, he looked at Yue Fengshu for a while, then at Qu Chengjia, and occasionally glanced at Lu Qingyin from the side.

From beginning to end, he never even glanced at the gap in the barrier.

"This guy was treated like a donkey or a horse by Lu Qingyin and almost lost his life in the Wu Zi Secret Realm. He was really bullied enough, so why does he still have any attachment to her?" Lin Bai really couldn't understand what He Wenyao was thinking. Anyway, he made up his mind that after this matter was settled, he must ask him in person and poke a good prick in his throat.

"Done!" Lu Qingyin suddenly spoke after noon.

The voice is clear and moving, with a sense of fatigue, yet unable to conceal the excitement.

They all looked and saw the light of the bronze mirror shining on the barrier without any ripples.

"Did it really work?" He Wenyao was stunned for a moment and just looked at Lu Qingyin.

"It can only last for half an hour at most." Lu Qingyin grabbed a handful of pills and swallowed them, with a smile on her pale face, "Master Yue, who is the first person to enter?"

"Of course I'll go first!" Yue Fengshu was extremely confident and not afraid of the danger in the courtyard. He immediately stood up and stepped into the gap.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that Yue Fengshu had entered the barrier, then paused for a moment, pushed open the small wooden door, and entered the courtyard.

When he came under the mulberry tree, Yue Fengshu did not take the treasure, but bowed down to the wooden table and bench.

"Let's go!" Lu Qingyin swallowed the pill, her face still pale, but her voice was even more excited, "I have made the greatest contribution this time, so I should be chosen first!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked forward.

Pei Ning stood outside the formation and took out the sword case calmly.

Lin Bai stood up and didn't move. He just looked at Lu Qingyin to see what she would do.

He Wenyao's eyes followed Lu Qingyin's movement and he looked dazed.

"Stop." Qu Chengjia stood up, closed his eyes, and waved his whisk lightly, blocking the gap in the barrier.

"You dare to stop me?" Lu Qingyin sneered.

"I swore before that I would not attack before entering the hospital." Qu Chengjia said slowly, "Now that Senior Brother Yue has entered the hospital, the agreement is naturally invalid."

She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Qingyin.

Lu Qingyin chuckled, then took out a flute that was green on top and white on the bottom. Seeing Yue Fengshu still bowing in the yard, she couldn't hide her joy, so she suddenly made a move.

Qu Chengjia immediately swung out his whisk, but Lu Qingyin rushed straight towards He Wenyao.

"I..." He Wen Yao didn't dare to fight back. He just took out a piece of broken wood and activated his spiritual power. Then he saw green leaves and red flowers guarding in front of him.

However, the power of the jade flute was quite strong. Lu Qingyin threw out another talisman, and immediately the autumn wind swept away all the green trees, and the jade flute touched He Wenyao's chest.

He Wenyao spat out blood, "You have improved again!"

In the moment of danger, Qu Chengjia's whisk rolled up, and there seemed to be thousands of streams, which immediately forced Lu Qingyin back. He waved the whisk again and rolled He Wenyao in front of him.

People say that Qu Chengjia is good at defense but not good at attack, but this time, Jindan used his strength to overwhelm the enemy, repelling the enemy and saving people in one go, showing that Jindan can do things with ease.

Lu Qingyin held a jade flute in her hand, her white hair fluttering as she stared at Qu Chengjia.

He Wenyao rolled and crawled, hiding behind Qu Chengjia, muttering to himself, "Lu Qingyin, I have been nice to you many times, hoping that you would mend your ways, but I didn't expect that you would still... " He spat out two mouthfuls of blood and glared at Lu Qingyin.

"I won't kill you. I'll just wait for Senior Brother Yue to come out and take charge." Qu Chengjia was very confident and took out an eight-diagram tortoise shell.

The tortoise shell emitted a dark shadow, which immediately covered Qu Chengjia and He Wenyao.

There was a flickering light on the phantom of the tortoise shell, and there was a faint shape of the Eight Diagrams. It was obvious at first glance that it was a magical protective weapon.

The two of them were guarding the gap in the barrier with the tortoise shell. Even if Lu Qingyin and Lin Bai joined forces, they would still have a hard time winning. Moreover, if they waited for Yue Fengshu to come out, there would be no chance of winning at all.

"Lin Zhuanlun, why don't you take action?" Lu Qingyin looked at Lin Bai, looking angry at him for not fighting back.

"In the past, Song Qing held a talisman in his hand, saying that the master of the Eight Diagrams Mountain of the Yunxia Sect was well versed in numerology and yin and yang, and was also good at defense..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Are you waiting for the two golden elixirs to merge?"

Before Lin Bai finished his polite words, Lu Qingyin became impatient.

Lu Qingyin took a step forward, holding a jade flute in her hand. "Flying sound of the jade flute!"

Lin Bai threw the flying knife and rushed forward.

Flying swords came one after another and all landed on the tortoise shell phantom.

"An ant trying to shake a tree." Qu Chengjia held the tortoise shell in his hand and shook his head slightly.

All the flying knives and swords were blocked. Although the panic magic sound could penetrate the tortoise shell, it could not penetrate the white cloth, which only left He Wenyao stunned and speechless.

At this moment, Qu Chengjia saw that Lin Bai was ten steps away, and suddenly he dispersed the mist and merged with Lu Qingyin.

Then there was a strong wind, the battle flags fluttered, and the bronze mirror shone again.

This time it was not as warm and peaceful as when the barrier was opened just now. The light was brilliant, with a thick earthy feel, and was golden in color.

The light and shadow fell on the phantom of the tortoise shell, and cracks appeared immediately on the tortoise shell.

"Or you have hidden a formation within your formation..." Qu Chengjia held the tortoise shell in his hand and was about to exert all his strength when he suddenly felt an endless chill in his heart.

Qu Chengjia's mind raced quickly, and he did not dare to be careless. He held the tortoise shell horizontally in front of him, and the phantom of a black tortoise appeared behind him. However, he suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and when he wanted to use his magical powers again, it seemed as if his sea of ​​​​qi was sealed, and his spiritual power was rapidly dissipating.

"Ahem..." Qu Chengjia saw Lin Bai and Lu Qingyin standing side by side, and Pei Ning standing in the distance. The three of them had withdrawn their attacks and were just looking over here.

Blood flowed from the corner of Qu Chengjia's mouth, the tortoise shell in her hand fell to the ground, and the shadow disappeared. She staggered a few steps, trying not to fall, and turned her head to look.

He Wenyao was seen holding a black knife tightly in both hands. The black knife emitted black air and the blood on it made a sizzling sound.

He Wenyao just stared at the black knife with his eyes blankly, his whole body trembling. He muttered something in his mouth, but no one knew what he was saying.

"Lin Zhuanlun used the formation to break your defense, and I used the human heart to break your state of mind. You think you know everything about yin and yang, but you don't have the heart to respect fate. You should have stayed by the river to watch the scenery, but you went into the river to get the pearls. What's going on now? Yun Wujiu is the same, why didn't he teach you? Po Yunzi should have said a few words to you, right?"

Lu Qingyin stepped forward and pointed with one finger. Qu Chengjia's left shoulder spurted with blood and he fell to one knee.

"Cough cough..." Qu Chengjia's mouth was filled with blood, his face was extremely pale, and his whisk fell to the ground. He wanted to look back at the situation in the yard, but he could not stand up because his view was blocked by the low fence.

"Qu Chengjia, are you waiting for Yue Fengshu to save you?"

Lu Qingyin laughed as clear as a bell, "He Wenyao has been under my control for a long time. Yue Fengshu is his teacher, how could he not see the abnormality? He didn't tell you, and he didn't point it out, because he had long wanted to kill you with a borrowed knife, and only hoped that you could fight to the death with us, and then he could easily silence us. You don't understand the formation, and you don't understand human nature."

After hearing this, Qu Chengjia fell to the ground as if he was carrying a huge rock.
