The Wheel-Turning Master.

When they arrived five hundred miles outside Songhe Mountain, patrolling monks came to greet them.

It was still an acquaintance. Miaomiao waved quickly, "Old Cheng!"

Cheng Shuang stepped forward, poked Miaomiao's forehead hard, and said, "When your master and I were roaming the world and whipping people everywhere, you still wet your pants! You are a senior sister, but you didn't learn any etiquette from your junior sister!"

After scolding Miaomiao for a few words, Cheng Shuang asked the two girls why they came. Miaomiao naturally made up a bunch of nonsense, saying that she wanted to be filial to her master and do her part for Qiaoshan.

After finishing the nonsense, Miaomiao talked about the incident in which Zhou Huishan’s old friend massacred the common people of Shoutian Pavilion.

"Senior Meng's life span is already short. I don't know if it's because he was beaten up last time, or because of his old friend's death, but he acted a little too radically." Cheng Shuang sighed, "Let's go to Songhe Mountain first."

The three girls were together. On the way, Miaomiao asked about the arrangements at the front line. She learned that Elder Jiang had not returned, Elder Gu was still recuperating in Huludao, Menghu Lake, and Taoist Lihuo was recuperating in Huoyan Mountain in the rear. Elder Shihuayu of the Yuanying Shi family simply hid back in his hometown and did not go out.

The people in charge at the front now are the ancestor of the Yang family, and the lively Du Jueming. The ancestor Yun of the Yunxia Sect has never shown up, but he is also recuperating in the Songhe Mountain area.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were both a little confused after hearing this. The top fighters in their own camp were either running away or injured. It was really a disgrace.

"Don't worry, the other side is not doing well either. Zou Mi and Chi Shangxing were also seriously injured. Kong Shu activated the secret treasure, and Patriarch Yang said that he will not be able to use it again within ten years!" Cheng Shuang was very optimistic. "But your master is getting more and more carefree. Haha, two Yuanyings are serving him!"

"Old Cheng!" Miaomiao glared at him, "You believe the slanderous words of outsiders? Master is a clean and honest man, and he is filial to Grandmaster Gu, how can you speak so filthy words to him?"

"Come on!" Cheng Shuang glanced at Miaomiao and said unhappily, "Back in the Wordless Secret Realm, your master had Xiuxiu and Peining by his side, as well as me and Song Jingxian, four beauties. But he was still not satisfied and flirted with Lu Qingyin. It was really shameful!"

"Four beauties? Then why didn't my master like you? Are you not beautiful? Ask yourself, in terms of appearance, Taoism, and character, how do you compare with Lu Qingyin? My master saved your life in vain, but you slandered him like this! When we return to Qiaoshan, let's go to the headmaster to seek justice!" Miaomiao said.

The two of them started arguing immediately, and Jiang Yu was too lazy to try to persuade them.

As they got closer to Songhe Mountain, they saw that with Songhe Mountain as the circle, there were distinct settlements within a radius of twenty miles, with different flags. There were the flags of various families and sects on Qiaoshan Mountain, Jiuzha Mountain, Tianyan Sword Sect, Shi Family, as well as individual cultivators.

The cargo ship is still in the air, probably counting various supplies.

Looking further away, beyond Songhe Mountain, you can see a high mountain covered by ice and snow.

There were clouds and mists lingering above it, and a hint of cold air was coming out, blowing in with the wild wind, bringing a cool feeling to the body.

Jiang Yu knew that was the Longevity Mountain. She stopped and said, "The seventh-level blessed land is a chance to ascend to heaven. All grudges come from it."

Miaomiao made a pergola with her hands and looked into the distance.

"What a magnificent place in the world!" Cheng Shuang had long been tired of seeing it, but she still acted like an elder sister, crossing one hand across her chest and touching her chin with the other, chanting: "As the saying goes, the morning glow reflects the rising sun, and the drums of war accompany the breeze. The snow-capped mountains are cold through the ages, and only the Wanshou Peak is illuminated!"

"Wanshou Peak, and you're taking a photo of yourself? Why are you pretending to be a high-ranking cultivator who looks down on all the other mountains? I think it's just bullshit lyrics!" Miaomiao was annoyed and grabbed Jiang Yu and walked forward.

"This was chanted by your master!" Cheng Shuang hurriedly caught up.

"Great! Master is so great!" Miaomiao added.

When the three girls arrived at the top of Songhe Mountain, they saw a large hall.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jiuzhong stepped forward and patted the two girls on the head without saying a word. "Did Lin Zhuanlun ask you to come?"

The two girls knew that Gu Jiuzhong started to attack because of their master's fault, so they did not dare to say much and only said that they wanted to serve in the battlefield.

Gu Jiuzhong didn't even bother to give perfunctory praise, and glared at him, "We have our own people at the front line, and we don't need you two! Listen carefully, go to your master and serve him, and don't leave!"

"Yes! Take good care of your master and don't let Senior Zou from Shoutian Pavilion snatch him away!" Yang Shaoan suddenly spoke.

Miaomiao saw that Gu Jiuzhong was guarding against the master like he was a thief. She glanced at Yang Shaoan who was grinning and thought, no wonder the master always says you two are unreliable and not as steady as my junior sister!
After complaining in her heart, Miaomiao turned serious and told him what happened on the road.

"It's getting more and more outrageous!" After listening to what Zhou Huishan's old friend did, Gu Jiuzhong looked as if he hated him for not fighting back.

"They really did die too many times." Yang Shaoan sighed, and then said, "I will go report to the ancestor."

As he spoke, he went to the hall and came out after a while, saying that he was going to find Yuan Qiye and Wang Yueying to go to Black Wind Mountain together.

Gu Jiuzhong urged Miaomiao and Jiang Yu to go find Lin Bai again, but Miaomiao had many excuses and said that she had to pay homage to her ancestors first.

There was no way. Gu Jiuzhong couldn’t win the argument with Miaomiao, so he waved his hand and drove them away angrily.

Miaomiao took Jiang Yu and went to find Zhu Jianyang first to understand the situation.

"They are all licking their wounds." Zhu Jianyang saw clearly, "We lost a lot of Yuanying last time, but we can also see that this is an act of exhaustion by Shoutian Pavilion. If we continue to waste time like this, we are waiting for reinforcements, but what are they waiting for? I guess Senior Jiang is going to form an alliance again."

Miaomiao was very convinced of her ancestor. She said, "It has been almost half a year since the Battle of Black Wind Mountain, and it has been two years since the Northern Expedition. I believe the decisive battle is not far away."

"Who knows? It depends on what the higher-ups do." Zhu Jianyang shook his head and said, "The timing is rare. It may be the time to formulate the theory of elixir. Your master went through many battles and survived many near-death experiences before he formed the elixir. That's why he is where he is today. You two must know this."

The two women bowed respectfully and then went to find Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai was with Dugu Jing. When she saw Jiang Yu coming, she happily pulled Jiang Yu.

Miaomiao performed the greeting and handed the things that Dugu Hao had entrusted to Dugu Jing.

"I already know about the massacre of ordinary people. You don't need to worry." Jiang Xiaobai also felt sympathetic. She grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and wanted to say something, but stopped. She looked at Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, you were raised by Xiaoyuer. Although you are a few years younger, you are still my senior sister. You must take good care of Xiaoyuer in the future."

"Of course!" Miaomiao knelt on the ground, straightened her back, and patted her little chest hard.

After talking to Jiang Xiaobai, Miaomiao and Jiang Yu left.

"My sister seems worried." Jiang Xiaobai is Jiang Yu's biological sister, so she can naturally see something.

"How can I not worry?" Miaomiao sighed, "This time our Qiaoshan has pressed forward, but if you want to drive away Shoutian Pavilion, your ancestor will definitely invite people, and I don't know how many people will be killed or injured. But this is just the first step, and we have to wait for Ancestor Xiang to climb Wanshou Mountain. If Ancestor Xiang can succeed, everything will be fine. But if something goes wrong with Ancestor Xiang... By then, our Qiaoshan power will still be considerable, and the others may unite to deal with us. You also know how many people your ancestor has offended by forming alliances. Everyone is holding back their anger and waiting for the result, but if something happens to Ancestor Xiang in the end, the tiger is not in the mountain, and a group of monkeys will definitely kill the person who is good at planning first. Even if we can't kill him for the time being, we won't have a good life, and Qiaoshan may also change its color."

At this point, Miaomiao grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and said confidently: "But don't worry, I am your senior sister, and I will definitely protect you well! Master will also protect us!"

"Senior Sister, you are so nice!" Jiang Yu sniffed.

"Hehe." Miaomiao held Jiang Yu's hand and pinched Jiang Yu's face with her other hand, and the two of them went to find Yang Huan again.

"If you want to go out to fight, remember to follow me." Yang Huan really cared about these two children.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were very well behaved, and the master's wife kept calling them, making Yang Huan happy. After meeting a group of people and saying hello to Jing Situi and Po Yunzi, Miaomiao had figured out the situation here, so she went to find Gu Jiuzhong.

Gu Jiuzhong gave a few more instructions, and the two women headed east.

Passing by Black Wind Mountain, the two women did not dare to pay homage. They only revealed their identities to the patrolling monks and continued to head east.

The lush forests seemed endless, but once we got to the ground, the fog became thicker.

After walking for a while, we saw the lake.

A colorful wild pheasant flew over, "This is an important place for the immortals, little kid, leave."

This pheasant is only in the late stage of Qi training, but it can speak and has a high intelligence, which is truly amazing.

"Daoyou." Miaomiao had played with Qu Ruyi's mole and Huang Ruhua's green snake before, so she knew how to deal with spirit beasts. She said politely, "The two of us are here to ask to see Patriarch Gu. Please be accommodating."

"The ancestor is in meditation." The pheasant raised its head and folded its wings, looking aloof and cold.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other. They didn't expect that this wild chicken didn't even pass on the message. He really took advantage of the power of others!
"Fellow Daoist, my master's surname is Lin, also known as the Wheel-Turning Master. He lives on Huludao Island!" Jiang Yu said.

"I don't know him." Yezhi replied with his eyes closed.

"Alas." Miaomiao sighed, "Just tell me straight, don't make me angry!"

The pheasant opened one eye and glanced at Miaomiao. Seeing that she was indeed someone not to be trifled with, it said, "There has been war here for a long time, and few people speak." Then the pheasant flapped its wings and said, "If you want to see the immortal, you must have the human touch. This has been the rule for many years."

Before Jiang Yu understood what was going on, Miao Miao's face darkened, and she took out a bottle of pills and threw it over. "It was made by a famous person in Qiaoshan, and the recipe came from the Jiang family in Qiaoshan. The Jiang family praised it as a miraculous pill!"

The colorful pheasant was very happy to hear this. He opened the lid of the pill bottle, took a slight sniff, and asked curiously, "Why is there a spicy smell?"

"How can a country bumpkin know about such a miraculous elixir that can help with spiritual practice? If I hadn't had so little in my hand, I wouldn't have been willing to give it to you!" Miaomiao said disdainfully.

"I'll trust you for now." Wucai Yeji glanced at Miaomiao and said, "Give me another bottle. I have a fellow Taoist dog."

"..." Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, and just as she was confused, she heard a dog barking in the distance.

It turns out he is really a dog Taoist friend! Miao Miao muttered something like chicken-stealing and dog-stealing, chicken friends and dog friends, and threw out another bottle of Tiger Wolf Pills.

The wild pheasant happily took it under its wings and said, "I'll pass on the message!"

Then a pheasant took off, and soon someone came riding on the water out of the thick fog on the lake.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a young woman wearing purple clothes, with a huge koi carp under her feet.

"The Chi girl said that Mr. Zhuanlun's beloved disciple is here to visit. I guess it must be Senior Sister Zhu or Senior Sister Jiang. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm so disrespectful." The woman said with a smile.

Miaomiao and Jiangyu returned the gift.

"My name is Yuan Wuchen, I am a descendant of Zhou Huishan, and now I serve under Patriarch Gu." The woman smiled and called over two more koi, feeding each of them a pill, "Please come in, sisters."

"So he is also from the Wu Zi generation, the same generation as my ancestor Qiao Shan Xiang!" Miaomiao said with a smile.

Yuan Wuchen was startled and said he dared not to. He then said, "Senior Zhuanlun originally asked Grandmaster Gu to give me a name, but Grandmaster Gu said it was okay. I was very scared."

The three girls rode on the koi carp, passed through the waves and mist, and soon they saw Huludao.

Climbing onto the island from the lower part of the island, they saw a thatched cottage. Yuan Wuchen led the two girls forward to the upper part of the island, where they saw the Solitary Fishing Pavilion.

There is a chessboard in the Du Diao Pavilion, and the people playing chess are clearly Ancestor Gu and Ancestor Jiang.

Lin Bai and Gu Yao were kneeling on one side of the chessboard, and Shi Qingyu was kneeling on the other side.

Miaomiao and Jiangyu hurried forward and knelt down.

Jiang Xingchi smiled, picked up a strand of beard, casually put down the chess piece, and called Jiang Yu and Miaomiao to come over.

The two women came forward on their knees. Jiang Xingchi looked at them carefully, smiled kindly and asked, "It's been hard going north. Did anything go wrong?"

Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "My sister and I came here on a cargo ship, and everything is safe. However, we saw Zhou Huishan's old people slaughtering ordinary people. We have reported it to the ancestor of the Yang family, but we don't know how to deal with it yet."

"This is the result, and the source is still in Wanshou Mountain." Jiang Xingchi was very kind, and then said: "Don't worry, I have found a way to have the best of both worlds."

Jiang Yu was confused and could only nod in agreement.

"You are kind-hearted and compassionate to the weak, which is great." Jiang Xingchi gently raised his hand, held Jiang Yu's hand, and said, "I, the ancestor, have been involved in many schemes, and many people have died because of me. Although it was for the greater good, it ultimately lost the family tradition of our Jiang family. You need to know that the realm of cultivation is the foundation, and schemes and tricks are nothing but demonic auras. Don't learn from me."

After hearing this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but think of what her elder sister Jiang Xiaobai said, and her eyes became red.

"Man proposes, God disposes. You have done well. Today's plan is for tomorrow's upright actions." Gu Qingshui looked at the chessboard, picked up a chess piece, and asked, "What do you say to Senior Brother Xiang?"

"There is only one person in the world." Jiang Xingchi said.

"In that case, just make your move with peace of mind." Gu Qingshui looked relaxed. She trusted Xiang Wuhui's judgment very much.

Jiang Xingchi thought for a while and finally nodded. He placed a black piece and said, "It's better to be safe. I'll go to Mianlong Mountain again. In the past, Taoist Lihuo invited him and the fairy to help. The fairy was also pursued by Kong Shu for thousands of miles. With the fairy's sharp eyes, she will definitely be able to see some clues."

As he spoke, Jiang Xingchi looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai answered respectfully, "I have not had any contact with the fairy since I went north. I guess the fairy is still in Mianlong Mountain."

Jiang Xingchi nodded, stood up and bowed to Gu Qingshui, then rolled up his black and white Taoist robe, wrapped Shi Qingyu around him and disappeared.

After Jiang Xingchi left, no one spoke in the fishing pavilion for a while.

"Why are you two here?" Gu Yao patted Miaomiao and Jiang Yu on the head, not acting like elders.

Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other. The two sisters were connected in heart and made up their minds to beat Gu Lianzhu up when they returned to Qiaoshan. (End of this chapter)
