The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 356 Retreat

He hurried to Menghu Lake, and after hearing the barking of dogs and the crowing of chickens, Lin Bai set foot on Huludao.

Yuan Wuchen had been waiting for a long time, "The ancestor is in the Du Diao Pavilion."

When I came to Shangpiao from Huludao, I saw Gu Qingshui wearing green clothes and looking thin.

"Ancestor!" Lin Bai stepped forward, but before he could make any move, Gu Yao came hurriedly.

There was no other way, Lin Bai could only observe etiquette and report what happened ahead.

"Jiang Xingchi has always been shrewd and thoughtful, so let him make the arrangements." Gu Qingshui was a cold person, and he clearly didn't want to worry too much. He gave Gu Yao another order, saying, "Let some people from Qiaoshan move here, and the same goes for the common people. As for other families, such as the Zhu family and the Huaqing sect, if they are willing to split off a branch, give them a place to live."

"Yes." Gu Yao agreed immediately.

Gu Qingshui looked at Lin Bai again and asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Bai thought for a while and said, "The Yuanyings discussed only the major issues. There are still many details to be decided. For example, there are many ordinary people left behind by Shoutian Pavilion, and the relocation of various sects and clans... I guess Jing Si Tui will deal with this matter. Why not let Senior Brother Gu Jiuzhong ask Jing Si Tui for some. After all, after the customs are changed, they are all people of Zhou Huishan."

"Since this concerns future inheritance, it should be done this way." Gu Qingshui said.

"Now Senior Jiang has given away many blessed lands of Zhou Hui Mountain according to the order of Ancestor Xiang, which seems to be a division of fiefdoms. However, with Ancestor Xiang here, there should be no more internal strife in the future. After a few hundred years of management, Zhou Hui Mountain will be able to restore its former glory." Lin Bai pondered for a while and asked in a low voice: "Did Ancestor Xiang say what to do next?"

Gu Qingshui was thinking with a cold face. After hearing this, he glanced at Lin Bai and said, "I don't know either. It hasn't been long since the ancestor advanced to the God Transformation stage. There won't be any major moves within a hundred years. Wait a few days, come and pay me a visit and ask."

"Where did Senior Xie Qingxuan go?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I don't know." Gu Qingshui said.

Lin Bai didn't want to ask any more questions. Seeing that Gu Yao was still staring at him, he could only bow and leave.

After leaving Menghu Lake, we came to Baozhu Mountain. Sister Pei was meditating, Jiang Yu was fishing with his eyes closed by a small ditch, and Miaomiao and Min Qianqian were playing with the dog.

"Go and invite your ancestor." Lin Bai poked Miaomiao's forehead.

Miaomiao quickly agreed and left with Min Qianqian.

Lin Bai did not bother Sister Pei and went straight to Qinfang Pool.

Qinfang Pond is surrounded by mountains on all sides and has a pond in the middle. Lotus flowers are in full bloom, dew drops are flowing on the lotus leaves, hummingbirds are pecking at the food, and fish are occasionally leaping out of the water. It is truly a place for quiet meditation.

There are many blessed places in Zhouhui Mountain, but there are only three of the fifth-grade top quality. One is the Menghu blessed land occupied by Gu Qingshui, one is the Yunyao Mountain of the Jiang family, and the last one is the Qinfang Pool.

It can be seen that Jiang Xingchi did not treat Zou Mi as an outsider and really gave her a good place.

Lin Bai was very careful, and saw no guarding disciples coming and going. He then boldly entered the mountain and saw lotus flowers blooming in the distance, but no one was bathing. There was a pavilion on the shore, and a person was on it.

The pavilion is short and hidden among dense tall trees. Facing the Qinfang Pond, it is the perfect place to view the lotus.

Hurry over and bow down.

"Ancestor, the seniors have already discussed it." Lin Bai was very respectful.

Zou Mi ignored him and just sat on the edge of the pavilion, looking at the green and pink lotus flowers in Qinfang Pond.

"Now is not a good time to view the lotus." Zou Mi's eyes were dim, "You have to wait until late autumn, when the withered lotus leaves fall in the rain, to see the special flavor."

What leaves the withered lotus leaves to listen to the sound of rain?

Lin Bai was an honest man who could not bear to hear such sorrow, so he immediately advised, "Old Ancestor, you can be sad for a while, but how can you be sad for a long time? As cultivators, we cultivate the present and tomorrow, and we must not dwell on yesterday."

"You're right." Zou Mi retracted his gaze, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "I shouldn't have let down Senior Brother Kong's kindness."

Seeing her cheer up casually, Lin Bai quickly said, "The Yuanying have agreed that the ancestor can live here permanently in the future and become a disciple of Zhouhui Sect. As for the three thousand disciples, they will be distributed around Qinfang Pond. After a few days, when Zhouhui Mountain is settled, they can socialize and move around. However, they can no longer wear the uniforms of Tianwen Sect."

Zou Mi didn't answer.

Even if she acquiesced, Lin Bai continued to boast: "The mortals of Shoutian Pavilion were originally distributed to various families. I argued hard and got some back. I will live in the mortal settlement in the future and will be able to reproduce and thrive."

Actually, no, Lin Bai made a false promise. But it was not a big deal, because Jing Si would be in charge in the end anyway, so he could just talk to him.

Zou Mi still didn't speak.

Lin Bai thought for a while and said, "Grandmaster Gu said that we will all be one family in the future. He asked me to contact the seniors and asked the disciples to socialize with him more."

"Grandfather." Seeing that Zou Mi was still not satisfied, Lin Bai was not discouraged and asked again: "Grandfather, do you have any more instructions? I can go and help."

Zou Mi really agreed. She took out a piece of hemp paper and threw it out, saying, "Last time, Chen Tianren destroyed my protective item. Now I want to refine it again, but I'm still missing some things. Go ask Jiang Xingchi to find it for me."

At this point, Zou Mi asked again, "Is Jiang Xingchi now the head of the Zhouhui sect?"

"It's not decided yet. Senior Jiang said he would go to Wanshou Mountain to ask." Lin Bai took the hemp paper honestly, not daring to look at it carefully, and put it away directly.

"He is good at being hypocritical. He might just take a walk around Wanshou Mountain and say that he has obtained the approval of the ancestor. Anyway, no one dares to verify it." Zou Mi said.

Lin Bai thought so too, but he didn't dare to say that great minds think alike, so he could only keep silent.

"Old Ancestor, we are all members of the Zhouhui Sect now, which means we are one family." Seeing that Zou Mi was silent again, Lin Bai tried his best to make friends with him and said, "Senior Jiang also said that he would come to discuss Taoism with you in a few days!"

In fact, he didn't say it, but Lin Bai guessed that Jiang Xingchi would definitely come to inquire about the affairs of the Northern Wilderness.

Seeing that Zou Mi still looked like a woman in the boudoir, Lin Bai finally got angry and said, "Old Ancestor, you don't have a smart person to guard your place. Although my eldest disciple is a little stupid, she respects her teacher and elders after all, and can do something. I will let her walk around Qinfang Pool later."

Zou Mi nodded, as if to agree, and then asked: "Your original identity is an unknown mist, but you are looking for the broken fragments, why?"

"I just feel a little bit close to him." Seeing that he finally got to the point, Lin Bai quickly said something half true and half false, then moved forward, knelt down, and asked curiously, "Ancestor, where did that fragment come from?"

"I don't know either." Zou Mi did not hide it.

"Before... before, Fairy Chenyu brought me into the secret library privately, and I saw that the Lord of Xuanyin Road seemed to be looking for this thing. I wonder what the Lord of Xuanyin Road is?" Lin Bai looked like he was seeking knowledge.

I had heard Zou Mi mention it before, and it seemed that the Lord of Xuanyin Dao was born from a monster, not a human.

Judging from its name, it should refer to the yin energy in the extreme cold of winter. I just don’t know what kind of monster it is and how powerful it is.

"Ninety percent of the land in the Northern Wilderness is covered with high mountains and snowy plains, with constant wind and frost all year round." Zou Mi spoke indifferently, looking at the lotus flowers on the Qinfang Pond from afar, and said, "The dark and gloomy sky, the white snow is floating, and the master of the Xuanyin Road is the white snow rabbit who achieved enlightenment."

"I'd like to hear the details!" Lin Bai became even more excited after hearing this.

"The Master of Xuanyin has lived in the northernmost part of the Northern Wilderness for many years. She is very good at hiding her identity and has rarely interacted with outsiders. As for when she became the Master of Dao, few people know. I'm afraid it has been at least ten thousand years." Zou Mi seemed to be thinking, and then continued: "As for why she is looking for the fragment, it is unknown. It was only after she sent a few people to advertise that it was known to all."

After Zou Mi finished speaking, he looked at Lin Bai and said, "The ancestor originally thought that this fragment was precious and dared not show it to others. Later, when the sect encountered disaster, he planned to present this fragment to the master of Xuanyin Sect to save the sect from danger, but she could not be found, and even several of her subordinates were nowhere to be found."

"Fallen?" Lin Bai guessed curiously.

"Maybe he went somewhere else. Even the death of a Spiritualization Realm cultivator is a strange phenomenon, let alone a Taoist master in the Void Refining Realm?" Zou Mi said. "Ancestor, what happened in the Northern Wasteland?" Lin Bai had nothing else to do, so he asked.

"How dare an ant ask about the affairs of the world?" Zou Mi laughed.

Lin Bai is the thickest-skinned one. He doesn't get angry even when being ridiculed. He thinks to himself, "We are both ants. So don't laugh at the younger brother, big brother!"
Reaching out his hand, Lin Bai kept asking, "Ancestor, there is a sense of destruction remaining in me, I wonder which Taoist master gave it to me?"

Zou Mi took a look and said, "You have tempered your body successfully, and you are harmonious with nature. You have a sense of harmony with the world. Although you have fewer spiritual orifices, your cultivation progress is not slow, and you have many skills. I heard that you have received the favor of the wood demon and were taught formations by Xie Qingxuan. No wonder Gu Qingshui looks at you differently."

Seeing that the answer was irrelevant, Lin Bai could only bite the bullet and said, "Ancestor Gu is my benefactor, and he is innocent."

Zou Mi sneered.

There was no other way, so Lin Bai could only ask again: "Ancestor, who is the person who sent out this sword intent?"

"Master Huaique." Zou Mi said.

"Where do you live?" Lin Bai asked.

Zou Mi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know where the Taoist temple is, but I heard that he once walked in the holy land of Zhongzhou."

Lin Bai understood. When he entered the secret realm of Endless River before, he saw a sword that spanned the sky and the earth. That was the Taoist Master Huai Que.

At that time, there were other people besieging Taoist Master Wuxiang, who must be the "speaking" person mentioned by Sister Zhen.

Lin Bai didn't dare to ask more questions, and Zou Mi also said that his realm was too low and it was not good to know too much, and it would not be too late to ask after he achieved Nascent Soul stage.

There was no way. Seeing that the other person was unwilling to say more, let alone get under her skirt, Lin Bai could only leave obediently.

"Everyone says that I have drilled through the skirts of two high-level Yuanying cultivators, but in fact, I haven't drilled through any of them!" Lin Bai was depressed. He went to Hengwu Mountain for a walk, then handed over Zou Mi's letter to Jiang Xingchi, and then returned to Baozhu Mountain.

Zhu Jianyang had arrived, and Lin Bai was not in a hurry to talk to him. He just brought Miaomiao over.

"You have been with me for many years, but you are naughty and have caused a lot of trouble." Lin Bai was very serious and put on a cold face. "Today, I have asked for an opportunity for you. You are to go to Senior Zou to obey his orders and run around to pass on his message. You can also listen to his teachings from time to time!"

"Disciple obeys your command!" Miaomiao agreed without hesitation.

Lin Bai originally thought that this girl would put forward a few conditions, but he didn't expect her to agree so quickly. He felt a little reluctant.

"It doesn't matter which master's wife you serve, it doesn't matter which master's wife you serve." Miaomiao patted her butt, patted Min Qianqian's head, and left in a flash.

"This... Has Miaomiao been disrespectful to Senior Zou?" Zhu Jianyang loves Miaomiao the most, so he is naturally worried.

"Don't worry, although Senior Zou was born in the Northern Wilderness, he is not a person who kills indiscriminately, nor does he have too many schemes. To put it bluntly, if there hadn't been this war, Jiang Yu's personality is actually most like Senior Zou's." Lin Bai said.

"I see." Seeing that Lin Bai understood so well, Zhu Jianyang asked in a low voice, "Brother, you and Senior Zou..."

"..." Lin Bai rubbed his brows with a headache, forced an explanation, and then talked about the land division.

The two discussed for a long time, and Shen Qiyun came and said that it was Chen Tianren who summoned Pei Ning.

Lin Bai let Pei Ning go and meditated alone in Baozhu Mountain.

Ten days later, news came that Jiang Xingchi had indeed become the head of the Zhouhui sect, with Meng Shanhe, Gu Qingshui, Zou Mi and Du Jueming as elders.

After Du Jueming was allocated the blessed land, he originally planned to let his sons and nephews guard it and send some immortals and mortals to fill it up. However, the ancestor gave an order not to let Du Jueming leave.

From then on, the situation of Zhouhui Mountain was settled. The general affairs were decided by the head of the sect, and major matters were discussed with the elders. If you were really unsure and the matter was of great importance, you would report to Wanshou Mountain.

Although Yang Yangxin, the ancestor of the Yang family, also got a share of the blessed land, he only let Yang Shu and Yang Huan stay behind, while he returned to guard Qiaoshan. Cheng Keshui was still the head of Qiaoshan.

There are also eleven golden elixirs who have each obtained a blessed land and are already transporting immortals and mortals to fill the place. Although there are not many people yet, after operating for a few hundred years, the people and livestock will surely prosper.

As for the rest of the Nascent Souls, they naturally also had blessed lands, but they all sent disciples and descendants to guard them, which was considered a branch that was split off and merged into Zhouhui Mountain.

The mortals left over from Shoutian Pavilion and the descendants of Huo Taiping were all divided up, with people assigned to each mountain. In particular, the three Yuanying families of Qiaoshan, Gu, Yang, and Jiang, received the largest share.

After everything was done, all the Yuanyings went up to Wanshou Mountain together, paid homage to the ancestor Huashen, and then went back to their homes.

Chen Tianren was also allocated a piece of blessed land, but he did not decide who would stay behind to guard it. Instead, he took all his sons and daughters away, saying that he would make a decision after returning to discuss the matter.

"Master intends to appoint Senior Brother Mo as the head of the sect, and we are going back to pay our respects." Pei Ning had already asked Li Wusheng about this, so he naturally came to tell Lin Bai the truth, "Master is now famous all over the world, and although Senior Brother Mo is only in the Golden Core Realm, he can still sit firmly as the head of the sect."

"That's a good thing. I'll go and congratulate you then." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"That's not necessary. Master said that the war had just ended and it's not appropriate to disturb friends. It's better to just get together at home." Pei Ning smiled. "Master wants me to come to Zhou Huishan. I will come to find you in three to five years at most."

"Chen Tianren has worked hard for you to form the elixir, and now he has given you up. I'm afraid Li Wusheng won't be willing." Lin Bai smiled.

"Senior Sister Li always listens to Master. Anyway, no matter whether I become a member of Daoyin Sect in the future, I will never forget Master's teachings." Pei Ning also smiled.

Lin Bai nodded and said, "I heard that Mr. Dugu Hao passed away at the end of his life. I can't go there right now. Please pay my respects on my behalf."

Pei Ning naturally agreed.

After a night of lovemaking, Pei Ning followed his master back south to his hometown.

The Yuanyings left one after another, but Zhou Hui Mountain was finally rebuilt, and flying boats kept coming and going, busy transporting ordinary people and various items.

Jiang Xingchi, as the head of the sect, did not take care of anything and left all matters to Jing Sirui to handle. The elders were too lazy to get involved.

Jing Situi has the demeanor of an elder, acts fairly, is used to doing things, and is in harmony with all parties. All the Jindan are convinced by this senior brother.

Wumuqian also followed Jing Situi for a few days, but his reputation was too bad. Although no one gave him a cold shoulder in person, they all called him a traitor in private.

Because of this, Wumuqian, as the second disciple of the master, could not make any friends and had to go to Lin Bai.

Moreover, Baozhu Mountain is not far from Qinfang Pool, so Wumuqian had to go around in a long circle, fearing that he would be caught by Qinfang Pool. It was really hard.

"Xiao Yu'er, where is your master?" Wu Muqian came again that day.

Jiang Yu put away his fishing rod and said, "Master is in seclusion, and I don't know when he will come out."

After hearing this, Wumu Qian forced a leisurely smile and said, "I was just about to discuss Taoism with Brother Zhuanlun. Well, well, I'll go find... Speaking of which, your ancestor is my mentor, and we're not strangers. Are you still short of fishing friends? Oh, then I'll go find other Taoist friends. Haha, I was just about to teach you some ways of cultivation." As he spoke, he shook his head and walked away alone.

"Master, he's gone." Jiang Yu reported immediately after Wu Muqian left.

"Okay, I really have to go into seclusion. You can't drink with him anymore." Lin Bai sighed and reminded, "If there is nothing important, don't disturb me. If there is a letter, just pass it into the house. There is a formation here, let that barking wild guard it. If you have difficulty in practicing, go find Xiuxiu or your sister. Don't have too much contact with Huang Ruhua and Qu Ruyi. They are not good at drinking. You are always the one who gets drunk. Also, go see Miaomiao when you are free. She follows Senior Zou, so don't make the ancestor angry."

Jiang Yu agreed obediently.

Lin Bai has been in seclusion since then, living in the mountains for years, quiet and without anyone to bother him, and he doesn't know how many years have passed. (End of this chapter)
