Chapter 138 Secret
In the middle of the market, rows of monks were kneeling.
There are mostly male cultivators and only a few female cultivators. There are also many knowledgeable guests from Longmen Inn, more men than women, as well as foundation-building monks.
Lin Bai could see clearly that the female cultivator whom Shang Xiaoshui and Yu Tiangao called Chi Lian's sister was among them.
"I wonder if she has tasted the taste of sapphire rock donkey." Lin Bai looked at it from a distance, feeling more and more in his heart that self-respect and self-love are indeed good qualities.
In front of him stood Gu's daughter and Jiang Xiaobai, as well as many Qiaoshan sect monks.
"I don't go out very often, so I didn't know there was such fornication in the world." Jiang Xiaobai covered his face with a veil and kept sighing. He turned his head and didn't dare to take a closer look.
"Good sister." The daughter of the Gu family held Jiang Xiaobai's hand and said: "Most casual cultivators have no conscience and do things without scruples. My sister has a very strict upbringing. I shouldn't have come with you to dirty my eyes." She said softly. Qingyu, she really looks like a sister.
"I have completed the foundation building, and I feel happy. I wanted to come with you to see the world, but I didn't expect..." Jiang Xiaobai sighed and shook his head.
Lin Bai watched with cold eyes and said to himself that Jiang Yatou and I have fought hundreds of rounds.
The ginger girl really has a cute and cute face, and she is petite. At first glance, she looks harmless to humans and animals. People who are not familiar with her think that she is a white lotus that has just bloomed, unstained by dust.
Yang Shu glanced over here with a sneer on his face. He was patrolling the city in Xinyi Square, so he knew some inside information. It's just that the ancestor of the Jiang family issued a hush-hush order, and he didn't spread it around.
Lin Bai had many doubts in his heart. It’s not like the scandal in this poor place has been going on for a day or two. Why is the Qiaoshan Sect stretching out its arms to take care of it now?
And he also specializes in controlling the monsters, as if to provide justice for the monsters.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai estimated that it was still the aftermath of the incident between Qiaoshan Sect and Jiuyin Mountain.
Soon, the Qiaoshan faction beat all the shops in Longmenfang away and asked people to come out to watch the execution.
After struggling for a long time, there were many shopkeepers gathered in the middle of Longmenfang, but not many casual cultivators. Only a dozen miles away to the south, there were many casual cultivators looking over here.
Many qi-training disciples of the Qiaoshan Sect each held whips and stepped forward to whip them one after another.
The whip seemed to be a special magic weapon. After being whipped, it would leave water marks that would not disappear for a long time. A group of people practiced Qi and built foundations, wailing non-stop, but no one dared to resist at all.
When the spectators saw that it had nothing to do with them, they all became interested, laughing and pointing, without feeling any sadness at the death of a rabbit or a fox.
After the execution was completed, the elder Zhu Ji of the Yiqiaoshan Sect came to the front and spoke loudly.
I don’t know what magical power this old Ji Zhu has. Although his voice is small, everyone in Longmen Square can hear it.
Even if I cover my ears, I can't isolate the old voice.
After talking about it for a long time, it was just that the Qiaoshan sect was a righteous sect. From the establishment of the sect to the present, countless seniors worked hard to become the leader of the many family sects in Qiaoshan. They made a lot of efforts for the peace of Qiaoshan and so on.
Then he looked forward to the future, saying that the various sects and families in Qiaoshan, surrounding the Qiaoshan Sect, would surely become more prosperous in the future.
After remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet, we can teach people how to be kind.
Lin Bai felt drowsy after hearing this, and when he looked at Yang Shu and others, they were already talking in low voices. As for Jiang Xiaobai and Gu's daughter, their heads were close together, and they didn't know what private words they were talking about.
The man who was being tortured this time was still kneeling on the ground, and many shopkeepers who were watching the execution also had droopy faces.
The old Zhuji talked for more than two hours and finally got to the point.
It means that in the future, casual cultivators can still go to Mianlong Mountain to hunt monsters and collect spiritual herbs. But you are not allowed to do those obscene things anymore, even male and female nuns are not allowed to practice!
In addition, the Qiaoshan Sect will also send one to build the foundation and three to practice Qi, stationed here all year round to correct the atmosphere of Longmenfang.
You are allowed to kill monsters, but you cannot insult them... This is really just caring about your crotch.
But Lin Bai thought it was pretty good. At least it will be a bit more peaceful now that people from the Qiaoshan Sect are stationed here.
After the lecture, the old man's face became more and more rosy, but all the attendees were dizzy.
After the fuss, the meeting finally ended. Everyone here breathed a sigh of relief.
The flying boat was still hovering in the air, and it was obvious that the four golden elixirs were still discussing matters.
The customers in the shop went back to their homes, and some young monks from the Qiaoshan Sect wandered into the shop.
Jiang Xiaobai and Gu's daughter were walking and chatting together.
Lin Bai followed behind and listened more intentionally or unintentionally, and then he realized that the Gu family girl was called Gu Fang and she was a direct descendant of the Gu family.
Although the two girls are both Zhuji, when it comes to status, Gu Fang, who has Yuan Ying in the family, is naturally higher than Jiang Xiaobai.
Moreover, he is from the Qiaoshan sect and is the head family of Qiaoshan, and his status is even lower than that of the Jiang family.
It's just that Jiang Xiaobai has built a foundation as a young man and has a bright future in the future, but that's another story.
Gu Fang's tutor is also quite good. She really treats Jiang Xiaobai as a younger sister. She always has a smile on her face, and she clearly likes Jiang Xiaobai very much.
The two women chatted while going into the store to buy something. Jiang Xiaobai has made a profit in the mountains, and his hands are very loose. He will definitely buy it if he is close to the eyes.
As a guide, Lin Bai failed to guide in the end and only listened to the two of them chatting.
After wandering around for a while, Jiang Xiaobai spent a lot of spirit stones and finally stopped.
The two women talked for a long time and finally thought of Lin Bai.
"You are my tenant. Why are you here when you are not refining elixir at home?" Jiang Xiaobai folded his sleeves and asked curiously.
Yang Shu had already asked this question, so she asked her again.
Come here to be laid to sleep. Lin Bai bowed his head and said, "I came here to look for an opportunity to build a foundation, but I didn't succeed."
"It's a pity." Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly, as if he couldn't bear it.
Gu Fang looked at Lin Bai again and said, "Who do you know from the Zhu family?"
"The juniors have a lot of support from seniors Zhu Jianyang and Zhu Jianshui," Lin Bai saluted Gu Fang again, "and have many contacts with the Yu generation."
"Now that the opportunity to build the foundation has been lost, what are your plans for the future?" Gu Fang asked again.
"Although the opportunity has been lost, the road to the Dao is still there." Lin Bai bowed his head again and said firmly: "This junior's heart towards the Dao is still there. After returning home and taking a short rest, he will forcibly build the foundation."
Sure enough, everyone loves a determined person.
Gu Fang only nodded her head at this moment, with a slight smile on her face, and said: "Although you are a casual cultivator, you are a little different from others. Since you are on good terms with the Zhu family, don't shorten your contacts in the future." She looked at him again. Jiang Xiaobai said: "Sister, since he is renting at your house, please take care of him a little bit."
"Since sister said so, I should take good care of her." Jiang Xiaobai covered her face and her eyes became brighter.
Lin Bai bowed to Jiang Yatou and said in his heart that I was taking care of you before, but you could only play around.
The two girls stopped talking to Lin Bai, and Gu Fang took Jiang Xiaobai to talk to other Zhujis.
After waiting for another half day, the flying boat slowly landed, and everyone from the Qiaoshan Sect boarded it one after another.
Lin Bai originally wanted to give it a try, as it would save effort and worry, but no one paid any attention to him. Yang Shu was nowhere to be seen. Gu Fang, Jiang Xiaobai and a few foundation builders were waiting under the boat, allowing the little qi-training shrimps to board the flying boat first.
But Lin Bai was a thick-skinned person after all, and he just got in front of Gu Fang.
"Senior Gu! Are you going back?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"Exactly." Gu Fang nodded.
"This time the Qiaoshan sect conquered people with virtue and eliminated the bad habits in this place without using weapons. It is worthy of being the leader of our Qiaoshan sect and a first-class sect!" Lin Bai praised.
"Sister Gu, he doesn't want to take advantage of Feizhou, does he?" Jiang Xiaobai immediately pointed it out, "Sister is right, casual cultivators are too evil-minded."
Lin Bai glanced at Girl Jiang and said to her, "Just wait."
Gu Fang glanced at Lin Bai, and beckoned to a young man to practice qi, "He has an old relationship with the Zhu family, please let him come with you." She ordered, and then looked at Lin Bai, "Don't cause trouble, don't be free. Move around.”
Lin Bai thanked him again and again, thinking that now he would be on the line, and he would be able to find reasons to thank him again in the future. Of course, you need to tell Senior Zhu first, after all, this is his Zhu family's connection.
After boarding the flying boat, Lin Bai and the young man entered the small cabin. The two chatted for a few words and took a rest.
The speed of the flying boat is not very fast, but it seems to be responsible for patrolling. After traveling for five days, we finally arrived at Xinyi Square West.
Gu Fang called out Lin Bai, and together with Jiang Xiaobai, the three of them landed.
This is the west gate of Xinyi Square, and there are already many people coming and going.
"You can go about your business. I was invited by fellow Daoist Xiao Jiang to sit at her house." Gu Fang shooed them away.
Lin Bai bowed and saluted, sincerely thanking him.
"Sister, come on, why are you talking nonsense to him?" Jiang Xiaobai grabbed Gu Fang's arm and glared back.
After all, Lin Bai had had several encounters with her, and he knew that she meant not to reveal her lips, and not to mention the past again.
In fact, this is okay. If the Jiang family finds out about this mess in the future, and the tenant sleeps with the owner, this matter may bring disgrace to the Jiang family.
Besides, senior Jiang Hongbo once gave Lin Bai six flying knives as a special gift because he was an upright gentleman who knew etiquette. If he found out that he slept with Xiaoyu's sister, he would probably take the flying knife back.
"It's just a few meals of twigs and fruits, so... forget it, Sister Pei also has wonderful things."
While thinking about this, Lin Bai stepped into Xinyi Square.
I've been away for more than a month, and everything here is as before, very peaceful.
Not in a hurry to return to the cave, Lin Bai went to Fengming Pavilion first.
Everything comes first, first comes first. Lin Bai has good relations with the Zhu family, so when he comes back, he should go to the Zhu family first.
"You're back? Are you in danger?" Zhu Yuling was still very happy when she saw that Lin Bai had not established the foundation.
"Everything is well, Sister Lao Yuling is thinking about me." Lin Bai smiled and took out a small wooden box, "I accidentally found this thing outside, please don't dislike it, Sister Yuling."
"How can you bring me something when you are running around outside?" Zhu Yuling accepted it happily.
"It's just a little care." Lin Bai looked towards the stairs with a smile and asked, "Is Senior Zhu here?"
"It's an unfortunate coincidence." Zhu Yuling smiled and shook her head, saying, "My uncle is home, but you want me to write a letter urging him to come back?"
"No need." Lin Bai waved his hand, "In a few days, I will go to Fengming Mountain."
They were no strangers, so Lin Bai could say whatever he wanted. Anyway, he was familiar with Fengming Mountain.
"That's fine." The more Zhu Yuling looked at Lin Bai, the more satisfied she became, and she didn't mind that Lin Bai hadn't succeeded in building the foundation. "Both Yumao and Yushu miss you very much and said they want to drink with you. A few days ago, Yuqiang also wrote a letter asking if you had returned safely."
Lin Bai dealt with it with a smile for a while, asked for the alchemy materials, and then stood up to leave.
After wandering around the street, we came to Tianchi Pavilion again.
Entered the door and came to the counter.
Before Lin Bai could speak, the female nun at the counter had pointed upstairs.
I've been here so many times that I know everyone so well that I'm too lazy to talk nonsense.
Go upstairs, find a cubicle, and knock on the door.
"Come in." Yao Qianyuan's voice came from inside, quite tired.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Yao Qianyuan sitting inside, frowning, holding a brush in one hand and fiddling with the abacus in the other, as if he was calculating accounts.
"When did you come back?" Yao Qianyuan dropped the pen, stood up quickly, waved her sleeves and closed the door, pulling Lin Bai up and down to look at him for a while, "If you don't have achievements, you won't succeed, as long as you have arms and legs." As she spoke, When Lin Bai wasn't paying attention, he pinched his crotch.
"There's really nothing missing." Yao Qianyuan smiled and helped Lin Bai sit down. She stood behind Lin Bai and squeezed his shoulders.
"Senior sister, stop rubbing." Lin Bai grabbed her wrist and asked her to sit down.
"Where have you been? How come it didn't work?" Yao Qianyuan sat in front of Lin Bai, held Lin Bai's hand with great concern, and asked with a smile.
"It's all over, there's no need to mention it anymore." Lin Bai pretended to sigh, took out his hand, took out a small wooden box, and said, "It's hard to run around outside, but when I think of my senior sister, I don't feel the pain anymore. Be careful, senior sister, don't dislike it." Yao Qianyuan happily took it and opened it, only to see a horn and a pill bottle inside.
She picked up the elixir bottle and sniffed it, "Why is it so sexy?" She looked at Lin Bai with a smile and said, "You like sexy stuff?"
"These are dragon fish beads obtained from Mianlong Mountain. Swallowing one pill every day can nourish and beautify your skin," Lin Bai explained.
"It's just fish eggs!" Yao Qianyuan said in disgust, and looked at the horns again, not knowing what they meant.
"It is extremely hard and can be used to make some utensils." Lin Bai said euphemistically.
Yao Qianyuan didn't seem to understand and just nodded.
"Senior sister, when can Pei Ning come down the mountain?" Lin Bai asked after he made her feel comfortable.
"I'm afraid we have to wait for ten days for the big competition in the door." Yao Qianyuan rubbed the horns of the ox, and she moved forward and said: "You must be feeling depressed because you didn't succeed this time. Since Junior Sister Pei can't go down the mountain for a while... ..." She leaned against Lin Bai and kept touching her hands, "Senior Sister Yao is still here, just in time to relieve your fatigue."
"Senior sister." Lin Bai pushed her away with a headache and said sternly: "I failed to build the foundation this time. I am really depressed and don't think about things between men and women anymore."
Yao Qianyuan was disdainful and said: "You can deceive me with your words, but you can't deceive others with your body! I'll choke you to death!" She waved her hands angrily, "You don't have any courage! How can you become a great person in the future?"
Lin Bai didn't dare to say anything.
"Also," Yao Qianyuan smiled again, "Where's Gai Yingqiu's gift? You have to be careful in order to seduce her."
Lin Bai naturally prepared a gift for Gai Yingqiu, but he shook his head and said: "Senior sister, I only prepared a gift for you, and I didn't even think about her woman."
Sure enough, Yao Qianyuan was more satisfied and more gentle. She sat close to Lin Bai and said, "Then when can you sleep with her?"
Lin Bai had a headache. He could only say: "Is this an overnight success? What they really care about is the person who builds the foundation. I am only practicing Qi and am a casual cultivator. How can you think highly of me?"
< br>
"That's true." Yao Qianyuan nodded and said, "Then you need to put more thought into it. She doesn't need to fall in love with you, just sleep with her. What bothers me the most is her pretending to be innocent!" She brought it Paper and pen, "Write a letter to her! Be more explicit! Make her fall in love!"
"..." Lin Bai had no choice but to save a gift.
After thinking about it, Lin Bai buried his head in writing a letter while Yao Qianyuan looked at it carefully.
"Don't block it, let me take a look... I have gone through a lot of hardships while traveling outside. Youdao is a confidant in the sea, and we are like neighbors in the world... Long time no see, senior sister, how are you?" Yao Qianyuan read and shook his head, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you He is naturally good at seducing people.”
Lin Bai said seriously: "Senior Sister Gai and I have a sincere relationship. Don't try to taint someone's innocence."
"You are not innocent at all!" Yao Qianyuan received the letter with disdain.
Lin Bai fooled her for a while and then fled.
After walking around the street for a while, we came to Zhutao Garden again.
"Although it is hard to run around outside, when I think of my sister, I don't feel the pain anymore. Be careful, my sister will not dislike it."
After chatting for a while, Lin Bai took out the gift and presented it to Chun Yuye.
Chunyuye had a tutor, so he didn't open it in person.
"You missed the opportunity to build the foundation, so you must be depressed, but you still want to bring me something..." Chun Yuye's eyes turned red.
"Although the opportunity is lost, I still hope to build a foundation in the future. But when I was out, I saw some fun and interesting things, and I wondered if my sister would like them. If I don't buy them, I will feel uneasy every day." Lin Bai said.
Chunyuye wiped the corners of his eyes.
After leaving Zhutao Garden, Lin Bai scratched his head, wondering if he was pretending too much. This is to connect the relationship, don't get emotional, right?
Wandering back to the Jiang family's Dihuo Cave, I met Jiang Chun again.
The two have an old relationship, and Lin Bai invites him into the cave for tea.
Jiang Chun felt sorry at first, but Lin Bai could only follow his words and act dissatisfied.
One good thing about the children of these sect families is that they rarely see blood and are generally soft-hearted.
Jiang Chun sighed a lot and mentioned Jiang Xiaobai again.
Lin Bai took the opportunity to talk about Longmenfang and his chance encounter with Jiang Xiaobai.
This was a clean slate. As long as Jiang Yatou didn't tell anyone, no one would know who slept with her.
"Brother Jiang, this is nourishing food." Lin Bai took out the wooden box and presented the gift.
When Jiang Chun saw that Lin Bai had failed to build the foundation, he actually came back with a gift. He was really touched and embarrassed. Lin Bai said, "It is my generation's responsibility to inherit the family," and Jiang Chun accepted the gift.
"And this." Lin Bai took out another small wooden box, "This is for little friend Jiangyu."
As he spoke, Lin Bai opened the wooden box and found a flute inside. White and flawless, warm to the touch.
"I would like to thank you on behalf of my little sister." Jiang Chun accepted.
"I'm not an outsider. I can be considered Xiaoyu's sister after all..." Lin Bai said that he was bald, and quickly changed his words: "I am also an acquaintance of Xiaoyu. I taught her the skill of flying knives and solved some of her doubts. Jade Flute Give it to her, hoping that she will have the edge of a flying knife and the elegance of a flute."
"I will definitely take your brother's words with you." Jiang Chun was moved and agreed.
The two chatted for a while, and then Jiang Chun took his leave.
After closing the door of the cave, Lin Bai walked onto the low cave, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Don't think about refining elixirs, don't think about realm cultivation. Empty your mind and take a good rest for two days.
When he woke up again, Lin Bai started a fire and made several furnaces of Jingjing Pills.
Meditate with alchemy. Lin Bai closed his eyes and thought carefully about building the foundation.
The opportunity is lost, but the road to foundation building is not cut off. You can forcefully arouse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, infuse the sea of qi, and explore the great road.
For ordinary Qi cultivators, this is an extremely dangerous move. But for Lin Bai, the risk was not great.
Hunyuan 2nd turn, natural texture. The sea of qi was also stable, and later with the power of tongue grass, the sea of qi was even more expanded.
"Wait for Sister Pei to come down the mountain."
Lin Bai made up his mind.
Three days later, a spiritual energy came from outside.
The door opened, and there were two people standing outside. An old acquaintance, Jiang Chun, was beside him, and there was a man beside him, wearing a Taoist robe with wide sleeves and a bun with a bun, with a solemn appearance and a stern face. It was Jiang Xiaobai.
They were all very familiar with each other. Lin Bai smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
"Little friend Yun." Jiang Xiaobai's cute face showed no expression, "Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
At that time, you would only let it go softly, but now you are raising your tail?
You still have to do what you should do. Lin Bai bowed and saluted.
"When I went out, I got a little wild and lost some etiquette." Jiang Xiaobai said.
Jiang Chun smiled awkwardly.
"Please come in." Lin Bai politely invited his brother and sister in.
"I didn't want to come." Jiang Xiaobai's expression was indifferent, "I only came to give you advice for the sake of Pei Ning in the past and because of my sister's request." She sighed, looking like she hated people and failed to achieve their goals. .
"He's not a stranger, why do you say that to him?" Jiang Chun was sincere and couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why not?" Jiang Xiaobai looked disgusted, "He wrote to me from time to time and asked me about many difficult problems. He and I can be regarded as half teachers. But he is so unbearable that the foundation building has not been successful. Doesn't it seem that I have no way to teach my son? ?”
"Why can't you teach your children the right way? It's because the disciples have no right way." Jiang Chun had a headache. "Fellow Taoist Yun is my good friend. Sister, you also had friendship with him in the past, don't say such nonsense."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Bai waved his hand, thinking that if she has milk, she is a mother, and she can barely be regarded as a godson. Let her take advantage.
"Lost opportunities are mostly caused by weak character, weak will, or lack of ability."
Jiang Xiaobai sat cross-legged on the ground, folded his sleeves, and said calmly: "Why are you failing to build the foundation? Please tell me in detail."
"This..." Lin Bai hesitated and looked at Jiang Chun.
"I still have some business, you guys can chat for a while." Jiang Chun stood up and bowed to Lin Bai, "Dear brother, my sister is a new member of the Foundation Establishment. It is inevitable that there will be something wrong, so please bear with me." He looked at Jiang Yatou again, Said: "Brother Yun Xian has quite a relationship with Xiaoyu. You must speak politely and don't hurt your friend's heart."
After saying that, he withdrew.
Lin Bai waved his sleeves and closed the cave door and went to see Jiang Yatou.
She still looked serious, with no emotion on her sweet and cute face, and looked like a master.
"What exactly did Qiaoshan send to Longmenfang?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"It's not the Qiaoshan Sect's mess!" Jiang Xiaobai actually knew the inside story.
"What mess? Is it related to Jiuyin Mountain?" Lin Bai asked.
"It is definitely related to Jiuyin Mountain. But it is a secret. I only found out about it after listening to the two ancestors chatting a few days ago." Jiang Xiaobai smiled.
"What's the secret?" Lin Bai was extremely curious.
"Why should I tell you to listen? I won't tell you."
Jiang Xiaobai was very proud and said: "I heard that you have been in the cave since you came back. Could it be that you are afraid of the great road?"
"The way of heaven is frightened, who can not be afraid?" Lin Bai was talking nonsense, thinking about her purpose.
"How can this be so?" Jiang Xiaobai immediately became serious, "Practice is like going upstream, how can you hold back?"
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will obey it." Lin Bai said.
"..." Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "I'm annoyed when I see you!" Her expression moved slightly, "Pour me some tea."
Is this girl here to cause trouble?
Lin Bai poured tea for her, still thinking about her purpose.
Specifically here to hurt people? This is Jiang Yatou's usual temperament. If she didn't find trouble and say some naughty things, then she wouldn't be her.
But now that the damage is done, it’s time to get down to business, right?
Could it be that you came here to sleep? But this is her cave, her family's territory, does she really dare to seduce tenants?
"It's hot in Dihuo Cave, why don't we go somewhere else to chat?" Lin Bai tried.
"I'm here to teach you how to achieve Taoism. Are you dissatisfied?" Jiang Xiaobai took a sip of tea. "But it's really hot in here." She moved her sleeves a little and opened her clothes a little, giving a glimpse of its size.
Lin Bai covered his forehead, thinking that he still underestimated Jiang Yatou, she was very courageous. In the past, I dared to sell Tiger Wolf Pills, but today I dare to bully my tenants at home.
"When will Pei Ning come down the mountain?" Jiang Xiaobai looked serious, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a long time, but I miss her a little."
Are you afraid of being caught by her? Lin Bai smiled and said: "I said I would come today."
"Ah?" Jiang Xiaobai stood up immediately, "Then I'll avoid it first... go back first, and when she comes, you let her see me."
"But she won't be able to come to the Tianchi Sect Grand Competition these days." Lin Bai added.
Jiang Xiaobai sat down again, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"If you're feeling hot, go and sit on my dwarf." Lin Bai pointed over, "That dwarf is made of water and wood, which means coolness."
"Really? I don't believe it." Jiang Xiaobai had doubts on his face and actually walked over and sat down.
"It's really refreshing. Bring me some tea. I'll sit here and drink tea and preach." Jiang Xiaobai was very serious and spoke calmly, like a virtuous elder.
