Chapter 164 Death News
After leaving Jiang's house, Lin Bai followed Chun Yuye to Zhutao Garden.
"Senior, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are getting more energetic." Chunyuye said with a smile.
"We have known each other for a long time, why do we need to call ourselves elders?" Lin Bai was as warm as the spring breeze.
Chun Yuye smiled, looked at Lin Bai meaningfully, but stopped talking.
When I arrived at Zhutao Garden, I entered the path again, and after twisting and turning, I found a simple courtyard, but it was not Yang Shu's old residence.
In the courtyard with a bamboo fence, green bamboos stand tall. There is a low bamboo case with four people sitting cross-legged beside it.
Needless to say Yang Shu and Yang Huan, Chun Yutong accompanied them, and Yang Bing was also there.
"Brother Yun Xian!" Yang Shu immediately stood up to greet him.
"Senior, please." Chunyuye bowed and left slowly.
Yang Shu stepped forward and pulled Lin Bai into the courtyard. Everyone bowed and Lin Bai sat next to Yang Shu.
Pour the light green sake, which has the delicate fragrance of bamboo leaves. It is Chunyu's green bamboo wine.
After drinking for a while, Yang Shu couldn't wait to say: "Brother Yun Xian, I wonder how Feixue is doing now?"
You are from the same sect as her, and why are you asking me?
"I don't know either. Didn't you go find her and ask?" Lin Bai said honestly.
"I went, but she didn't see me. Something happened to the Gu family, and none of them even said a word."
Yang Shu pulled Lin Bai's sleeve, with a sad look on his face, "She has hurt her origin, which will hinder her future practice. I feel bad too." As he spoke, he took out a wooden box and said, "This is jade Toad paste may be useful to her, please pass it on to me.”
Lin Bai took the wooden box and said to himself, "No one has ever cared about me so much!"
"I'm only in Xinyi Square, how can I see her?" Lin Bai quickly explained.
"There is always a chance to meet her, unlike me..." Yang Shu sighed, "I want to see her from a distance but I can't."
"Yang Shu, Yang Shu!" Yang Bing took a sip of wine and kept sneering, "People are too lazy to see you, but you insist on licking the heels! It's not embarrassing!"
"What do you know?" Yang Shu immediately expressed his expression, "Firstly, she and I are from the same sect, so we should help each other; secondly, what if she ignores me? I just want to go along with it."
< br>
He was so organized.
"It's so funny." Yang Bing didn't look at Yang Shu at all, only looked at Yang Huan and said, "Sister Huanhuan, you don't care?"
"Drink, drink." Yang Huancai didn't bother, she just raised her glass.
Everyone drank again, and Yang Bing toasted to Lin Bai.
"Brother Yun!" Yang Bing said with a sharp temper, "I heard that your Taoist companion is studying in the Tianchi sect. I wanted to invite her down the mountain to have a drink with her, but Sister Huanhuan said that her practice had reached a critical juncture, so she didn't bother her."
Lin Bai looked at Sister Huanhuan, who lowered her head to drink.
After drinking for a while, Chun Yutong also opened his mouth to propose a toast.
After chatting for a while, Yang Bing took out an exquisite wooden box.
It’s finally here! Lin Bai had been waiting for a long time.
"Brother Yun, I killed a foundation-building buffalo in Mianlong Mountain and got some things." Yang Bing presented it and said with a smile: "Brother Yun, please help me forward it to that bitch Gu Yao!"
< br>
"Eh?" Lin Bai glanced at Yang Shu and thought to himself, aren't the Yang family and the Gu family both from the Qiaoshan sect? Why do you always ask me, an outsider, to help? Are you sick?
Besides, you Yang Bing and Gu Yao broke up when they met, so why did you give them gifts?
Lin Bai had no temper and could only accept it.
"Also," Yang Bing took out another wooden box and said, "The previous time Mianlong Mountain was in trouble, if we didn't have the help of brother, I would have been reduced to withered bones." Pushing the wooden box to Lin Bai, he continued: "Return it. Please don’t refuse. As for fellow Taoist Zhu Jianyang, I have already been to Fengming Pavilion.”
As expected, he is a descendant of Yuanying and is very particular about his work.
Lin Bai did not pretend to shirk, and immediately accepted the gift.
It was still early at this time, not yet past noon. The five of them drank and chatted, listening to the waves of bamboo waves.
Looking back on the incident in Mianlong Mountain, we also discussed the method of cultivation, and even the unofficial history of Qiaoshan, but did not discuss the affairs of the Gu family again.
Obviously, everyone deliberately avoided it.
After chatting until midnight, Yang Shu and Yang Bing were both drunk. The former muttered about Feixue, while the latter slept like a pig.
Sister Huanhuan's face was red with wine, and she asked Chun Yutong to clink glasses.
After drinking for another half an hour, Chun Yutong really didn't want to drink with Mengzi anymore, so he called the Qi Refiner juniors and sent Yang Shu and Yang Bing back to rest.
"Junior Sister Yang, Junior Brother Yun, I'm too drunk to drink. I'll drink again tomorrow." Chun Yutong stood up, bowed and left.
Finally, only Lin Bai and Sister Huanhuan were left in the yard.
"I drank too much, and the wind in the bamboo forest felt very cold." Yang Huan hugged his arms.
"Then let's go drink inside." Lin Bai covered his forehead.
"Just what I wanted!" Yang Huan kept laughing, immediately pulled Lin Bai and staggered into the house.
After closing the door, there was no fluorite, so Yang Huan took out a candle and lit it.
The two of them sat down and took out the monkey wine and poured it on them.
"This is the place Chunyu's family has prepared for me. Don't worry." Sister Huanhuan leaned drunkenly, her eyes watery under the candlelight, and she didn't feel drunk.
Lin Bai is naturally very sensible.
Turning to the inner room, waves of bamboo billows outside the window, unable to cover up the sounds inside the house.
After a long time, Sister Huanhuan's waist was arched and she looked confused.
I don't know what I'm saying. After just a short rest, although the drunkenness subsided, the aftertaste lingered and became even more gentle.
It is comfortable to serve people, and Lin Bai is eating soft rice again.
"Something happened to the Gu family?" Lin Bai asked.
"Yeah." Sister Huanhuan nodded slightly, her face even more wine-red, "We'll know in a few days, we don't allow nonsense at home."
"Is the Gu family in chaos?" Lin Bai was more concerned about this point.
"There is also an ancestor in his family. Although he is a newcomer, he can be suppressed." Sister Huanhuan's mind is obviously clear.
"What about your head of general affairs?" Yue Fengshu had three apprentices, but Lin Bai killed two of them, leaving only one left.
Moreover, Yue Fengshu was not big-minded, and he really cared deeply about his disciples. This was something I had seen with my own eyes.
There was also Tianchi sect Liu Tianhe, who also killed several of his disciples and a direct relative.
Although the murder was done secretly, they really came for Lin Bai at that time. Even if there is no evidence and it is impossible to deduce, there is no guarantee that those big shots will not express their anger.
"I don't know," Sister Huanhuan knocked her chin on Lin Bai's shoulder, "It seems that she is busy with family matters." She spoke softly and blew a breath, "I was very brave at the time, why are I afraid now?"
"Can I not be afraid?" Lin Bai looked honest.
Sister Huanhuan chuckled, "He is the leader, but he doesn't have much power. You are protected by the Gu family. Even if he wants to cause trouble for you, he can only find an excuse to wear small shoes or something else, and he will never do it openly. You are troublesome, otherwise you will not give the Gu family face.”
This is indeed the truth, and Lin Bai also thought so. Anyway, if he really comes looking for trouble in the future, then he will find an opportunity to deal with his only apprentice.
"Also," Sister Huanhuan's eyes sparkled again, "You will come to me for drinks from time to time. If others know that you are friends with my family, they will be even more wary."
"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind." Lin Bai wanted to get up and serve her attentively, but she pushed him down again.
"Have a rest..." Sister Huanhuan took out the wine gourd softly, "Don't open your eyes and look..."
Another waste of words, finally overflowing with appearance.
"Have you practiced the body tempering method? The more I get along with you, the more harmonious you become." Sister Huanhuan brushed off the dirt and started chatting again.
"I practice the method of Hunyuan Body Tempering." Lin Bai didn't hide it from her, since the women around him had already seen it. After telling her in detail, Sister Huanhuan shook her head, "It's worthless."
"Do Yang Bing and Gu Yao have any old grudges?" Lin Bai changed the subject.
"They are the same age. They used to have a good relationship. They have been reading and reading together since they were young. Then for some reason, they stopped interacting with each other when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. When they met on the road, they would always say bad things to each other." Sister Huanhuan did not He took this matter seriously and said with a smile: "Let's see if you like what Yang Bing gave you."
Lin Bai obeyed and opened the wooden box given by Yang Bing. Inside were seven small flags.
The flagpole is three feet long and the flag is in the shape of a triangle. There are cloud patterns on them, all in black. The material should be taken from some kind of monster, it is very light. Wave it slightly, and there will be a light mist.
"This is the Feiyun Flag, which is made from the sinews, bones, and fur of the Sky Cloud Beast. It can absorb clouds and mist, save energy, and is most compatible with people who are born in clouds and mist." Sister Huanhuan took one in her hand, "Seven Flags Once formed, it is called Feiyun Flag Formation. , can increase the power of your magic. It can also suppress clouds and fog, and it will not be afraid of wind and frost, and will not disperse for a long time." She took out a book from the bottom of the gift box, "This is the key to the formation. If you don't understand, just take care of yourself. Come to me and ask.”
This gift is just right! Lin Bai tested the knife several times in Mianlong Mountain and knew that although the cloud in his sleeve was strong, it could be easily restrained.
If there are many people, and there are people who are skilled in the magical power of violent wind and rain, the clouds and mist will be difficult to maintain.
Now that we have this Feiyun Flag Formation, it is even safer!
"Do you like it?"
Seeing the smile on Lin Bai's face, Sister Huanhuan continued: "When Bing'er asked me, I told her that you had a way to move the mist. It happened that there was such a thing in the warehouse at home, and it was compatible with you, so she asked Come as a thank you gift." When Sister Huanhuan said this, she bit her lower lip, the wine red on her face was not dissipated, and the spring in her eyes became more and more obvious.
"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind!" Lin Bai quickly kissed her.
Sister Huanhuan’s soft rice is still delicious. Unlike Jiang Xiaobai, the soft rice is squeezed out little by little, making it uncomfortable to eat.
After Sister Huanhuan was waiting for Shu Tan, Lin Bai thought it was time to leave, but he didn't expect Sister Huanhuan to take out another scroll.
"This is what my ancestor wrote when he was in the Golden Core Realm. I copied it." Yang Huan handed it to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai opened it and saw the words "Detailed Explanation of Escape Technique".
These are some of the Yang family's ancestors' insights into escape techniques. They are not magical escape techniques, but they are still very precious.
They repaid each other well and waited until dawn before the two of them went out.
I originally wanted to leave, but Sister Huanhuan refused to let me go. She only said that it would not be easy to go out and she would have to stay for a few more days.
Yang Bing also had this intention. Yang Shu and Chun Yutong could not refuse, so they could only set up a table.
Everyone drank and talked freely in the bamboo forest, preaching and talking about Taoism. They swept away the decadence of Mianlongshan and gained the freedom and ease of monks.
After three days of commotion, Lin Bai stayed for another night, taking good care of Sister Huanhuan, and then left.
"Brother Yun has an elegant temperament and is a sincere and kind person. If you go to the Qiaoshan Sect in the future, remember to come and have a drink with us," Yang Bing said.
"Don't forget what Brother Yu entrusted you with." Yang Shu also said.
Sister Huanhuan didn't say a word, her face still red from wine, she just smiled, with a deep meaning in her eyes.
Lin Bai said goodbye and was about to leave Zhutao Garden when Chun Yuye caught up with him.
"Senior Yun." Chunyu Ye curled up and bowed gently.
"How many times have I told you, I will always recognize you as my sister, don't call me senior anymore." Lin Bai always knew how to get closer.
"Don't dare." Chunyuye smiled, took out a small bamboo board, and held it up with both hands, "The cave where the senior previously lived is no longer available for rent. It will only be used by the senior in the future. This is the token."
< br>
"This is..." Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
"My brother got out of Mianlong Mountain with the help of his seniors, so he deserves to be rewarded." Chunyuye said, stepped forward, held the bamboo board in both hands, bowed his head and saluted.
"Okay, then I'll take it." Lin Bai picked up the bamboo board and put it into the storage ring. "Why are you becoming more polite to me?" As he spoke, he gently helped Chunyu Ye up.
"Senior." Chunyuye took a step back and saluted again.
What's going on? To be polite is to be distant. Lin Bai felt that he had not offended her, and he always said nice things. How could it be like this?
But if you often walk by the river, how can you not lose your shoes? Maybe he was careless and offended her unintentionally.
"Sister, is there something wrong with me?" Lin Bai always said what he had to say.
"How can senior be wrong?" Chunyu Ye smiled, then looked sadly and said: "I said before that I would no longer be responsible for the leasing of the cave. Now after procrastinating for a long time, I finally got rid of the errand. If senior comes in the future, I will take care of it myself. Just look for my brothers and sisters.”
After saying that, he bowed again.
When Lin Bai saw this, he didn't ask any more questions, nodded and left.
Returned to the cave, made elixirs and meditated. Two days later, Miaomiao came again.
"You're here just in time to watch me make elixirs." Lin Bai brought her over and asked her to observe the method of refining elixirs.
Miaomiao sat down obediently. After pretending to be cute for half an hour, he became impatient and began to yawn.
Lin Bai had no choice but to persuade her with kind words, scolded her harshly, and even found a bamboo to hit her palms. But after all, she was just a disciple. After the beating, she asked Lin Bai if his arm was sore and wanted to rub his arm.
From then on, Lin Bai no longer forced her or taught her anything, and just let nature take its course.
Regardless of whether the apprentice will be successful in the future, Lin Bai is willing to support her for the rest of his life based on this filial piety.
After collecting the alchemy furnace, Lin Bai listened to his little apprentice's praise of his various tricks for a while, and then he took out the detailed explanation of the escape technique.
"Did Xiao Yu'er's sister ask you to come?" Lin Bai asked while reading.
"Yes, she asked me to come and see if Master is back." When Miaomiao saw Lin Bai sitting down to read, she obediently poured the tea and went behind to gently pat her back.
"I will leave home for three or four days..." Lin Bai lost his temper.
"What book is Master reading?" Miaomiao laughed, jumped on Lin Bai's back, and leaned over to read.
"You still don't understand. Master will teach you later." Lin Bai patted her head and started reading again.
The escape method is a strange method. It has the intention of surprising the enemy. You can attack when you advance, and you can escape when you retreat.
Moving from one place to another, the situation changes quickly. It can be carried by something, and it can also be carried without borrowing anything from outside.
If you want to practice escape, your talent must be extremely high and your destiny must be compatible. It would be even better if you get another chance.
Lin Bai thought for a long time, the escape method involves space, and the dead wood cicada magical power he cultivated involves time.
Both are extremely difficult to cultivate.
The magical power of the dead tree cicada is the secret technique of the old wood demon. It was originally extremely difficult to derive it. However, after seeing the power of the dead wood cicada, the Song and Qing Dynasties realized the Tao before dying, Qu Ruyi lived toward death, and Shen Xuzhi borrowed life to hide his form. , the iron will be completely removed from dirt and rust...
All kinds of things, and with the help of a ray of Nascent Soul's meaning on the jade cicada, he gained the magical power of the dead wood cicada when building the foundation.
"If you want to get the magic of escape, I'm afraid it's a long way to go."
Lin Bai thought for a long time and got nothing.
When Miaomiao saw Lin Bai looking thoughtful, she didn't bother her and just stared at him with big eyes.
Lin Bai collected the books and chatted with Miaomiao again.
The master and apprentice talked for a long time, which was just nonsense.
Just as he was about to send her back to Yuhu, a burst of spiritual power came from outside.
When he opened the door, he saw a solemn person outside, it was Zhu Jianyang.
"Grandpa!" Miaomiao rushed forward quickly.
"Good boy." Zhu Jianyang patted Miaomiao's head gently, with a look of kindness and love on his face.
"Is there a letter?" Lin Bai asked.
Zhu Jianyang nodded lightly, "Let's go, Gu Fang asked you to go too."
