Chapter 166 Leaving the Mountain
The Supreme Leader of the Qiaoshan Sect is very prestigious, and he is the first among the three Yuan Ying sects.
Everyone on the field saluted far away in the direction of Xianqiao, showing great respect.
Gu Qingshui transformed into blue water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After all the powerful officials left, Yue Fengshu said a few words, and everyone bowed to the main hall and then went back to their homes.
Some acquaintances also kept in touch privately and looked for other places to talk.
Lin Bai was honest and silent, his mind was in a mess.
The wood demon whom he had heard for so long appeared, and Lin Bai was sure that he had taken a second look at him.
The reason is probably that he was too deeply entangled with the dead wood cicada. He had seen the power of the dead wood cicada, and also met the jade cicada in the cave. He also absorbed a ray of the true meaning of the Nascent Soul from the jade cicada, so he had today's magical powers.
Lin Bai asked many people about the wood demon, but he only knew a little about its temperament and experience, and did not know where the wood demon came from.
"Sister Zhen said that she and the Wood Demon are from the same family... Who is Sister Zhen? Where did the Senior Wood Demon come from?"
But no matter what, Wood Demon can be regarded as half of his master.
"Senior," Lin Bai pulled Zhu Jiancong and asked curiously: "What is the relationship between that senior wood demon and Patriarch Gu?"
"I don't know." Zhu Jiancong said with a sparse white beard, "Senior Wood Demon has not had a baby for a long time. Maybe he has received the favor of Ancestor Gu."
Unable to answer any questions, Lin Bai looked at Zhu Jianyang again.
Zhu Jianyang didn't say a word, but shook his head slightly.
The young monks would at most hear some past stories about the personalities of those Nascent Souls who came and went. Once the matter involves secrets, it is normal not to know.
Lin Bai and the four Zhu family members waited for a while, and then Gu Fang came to summon them.
After leaving here, we walked forty or fifty miles to the back of the main hall, climbed over a series of mountains, and climbed another mountain.
This mountain is called Qingyun Mountain, which is the land of the Gu family and belongs to the Qiaoshan Sect. The spiritual land on the top of the mountain is five steps high, but it is small and far inferior to the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land.
Most of the lower-ranking children of the Gu family live at the foot of the mountain. Those who stand out or are favored by their seniors can live higher up.
Arriving in front of the main hall at the foot of the mountain, Gu Fang stopped and asked everyone to wait outside.
Lin Bai got closer and said, "Sister Fang, I didn't know that Senior Wood Demon has such a good relationship with our family!"
"That's natural." Gu Fang smiled with a sense of satisfaction, "In the past, my ancestor loved to support the underachievers."
"I wonder what the past is between Senior Wood Demon and Ancestor Gu? It might as well let us remember him some more." Lin Bai asked curiously.
"This..." Gu Fang paused and said, "Senior Wood Demon must have received favor from the ancestor."
You don’t know about co-authorship either? Lin Bai didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the head of the Huaqing Sect, Li Shouyan, came out with the elders of the sect, and Lin Bai and the Zhu family members saluted together.
After waiting for another half an hour, Tian Guiqin, the head of the Jindantian family, came out with three young people.
"Zhu Jiancong, why are you so old?" Tian Guiqin looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a kind face and a calm look on his arms.
"Time makes people grow old." Zhu Jiancong bowed deeply.
Tian Guiqin nodded slightly and asked: "Who is the next one?"
"It's my nephew Zhu Yushu." Zhu Jiancong pulled Zhu Yushu over.
Zhu Yushu bowed again and addressed himself as elder.
"Not bad." Tian Guiqin smiled and said, "I'll come back to Guinong Mountain for a walk someday."
"Yes." Zhu Yushu saluted again.
Tian Guiqin said no more and left with his descendants.
The Zhu family was at a loss, wondering how the Tian family could suddenly show their kindness. Although the Zhu and Tian families are both members of the Gu family, they have very little contact with each other.
"Junior sister Gu, what's going on?" Zhu Jianyang asked Gu Fang.
"It's a good thing." Gu Fang smiled and walked forward into the hall, "Come in."
Everyone quickly followed.
The hall is quite dark, and there are tablets on it. The two people sitting at the bottom are Gu Jinzhen and Gu Jiuzhong.
There is one person standing behind each of them, it is Gu Yao and a young man practicing Qi.
"Although our ancestor has passed away, the friendship between you and my family has not been broken." Gu Jinzhen waved his hand, indicating not to be too polite, "Yushu, run Fengming Mountain well in the future and broadcast your heirs."
"Yes." Zhu Yushu leaned down and bowed.
"In a few days, we will go to Tianjia's Guinong Mountain for a walk." Gu Jinzhen stroked his beard, "You are not young anymore, and it is not appropriate to be alone."
Lin Bai finally understood at this moment that the Gu family wanted the Tian and Zhu families to marry.
The Zhu family has no golden elixir, but the Tian family has two golden elixirs. It is natural that the Zhu family has borrowed the power of the Tian family.
Thinking further, Lin Bai guessed that the Gu family was about to recuperate. I'm afraid that Gu Jinzhen's incident with Yue Fengshu when he was stationed in Longmenfang will never happen again.
The Zhu family members all bowed down.
Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly, looked at Lin Bai, and said: "My family has a new funeral and everything is complicated. It is indeed disrespectful."
"I don't dare." Lin Bai immediately bowed and saluted.
"You are sensible." Gu Jiuzhong waved his hand, and the young man behind him stepped forward, holding a jade plate with an exquisite wooden box on it.
Lin Bai bowed again and then took it.
"I heard Feixue said that you like Chen Jianxian's calligraphy, and you happen to have a pair at home." Gu Jinzhen said in a tired voice, "It was only when Chen Jianxian attained the Nascent Soul that the ancestor went to congratulate him, and that's why he got it."
"Thank you, senior." Lin Bai said respectfully, thinking that Sister Pei no longer needed to go to Fengming Mountain to read calligraphy.
"This is Gu Wushang, please stay close to me in the future." Gu Jiuzhong pointed at the young man.
Gu Wushang saluted Lin Bai and others, and everyone returned the salute.
"Fang'er, send them back." Gu Jinzhen waved his hand and everyone left.
After leaving the main hall, Lin Bai became more and more thick-skinned. He thanked Gu Fang very well, but did not show any thanks.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, why not go see Feixue." Gu Fang said with a smile.
After chatting a few more words, he was about to leave when he saw Yang Shu coming.
"Where's Feixue?" Yang Shu looked at Gu Fang eagerly.
"She is recovering from her injuries and doesn't see outsiders." Gu Fang sneered.
Yang Shu sighed, pulled Lin Bai back and said, "Since you've come to this mountain, why don't you come to my house as a guest?"
"This..." Lin Bai wanted to go to bed, but he didn't dare. After all, this was Nascent Soul's territory.
"Let's go! Let's have a drink!" Yang Shu didn't care about this, grabbed Lin Bai and left.
Gu Fang watched Lin Bai and Yang Shu go away, then looked at Zhu Jianyang and said with a smile: "He was raised by your family, don't let others coax him away."
"That's not true." Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled, "He has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. Even if he is friends with the Yang family, it will not prevent him from becoming friends with us."
"That's right," Gu Fang nodded, "Feixue also said that he is not confused about important matters and is a sincere and kind person. He also said that he knows etiquette and is not close to women. He also said that he has the three talents of a gentleman, benevolence, wisdom, and what else. Coming..."
"Yong." Gu Wushang said.
"Yes, yes." Gu Fang took Gu Wushang's hand and nodded with satisfaction. Then he looked at Zhu Jiancong and said, "Then you go on your own, and Yuhuan stays."
Everyone said no more, Zhu Jiancong and the others left, while Zhu Yuhuan stayed here to practice.
Lin Bai was pulled by Yang Shu, and the two of them walked south for more than thirty miles. When they came to a short mountain, they saw a small and simple courtyard.
There are jujube trees in the courtyard with lots of green fruits. There are two other women and one man, Yang Huanhuan, Yang Bing, and a young man Zhuji, sitting around under the jujube tree chatting.
Yang Shu led Lin Bai forward, "This is my brother Yang Ai." He introduced the young Zhu Ji with a smile.
"I've heard about Brother Yun's name a long time ago, and I'm so lucky to meet you now." Yang Ai smiled and saluted.
"I dare not." Lin Bai returned the gift and asked curiously: "I make alchemy as a profession, I have low qualifications, and I am not good at fighting. I wonder what my reputation is?"
Yang Huan glanced at Lin Bai and said nothing.
"He has the reputation of being a hero in wine." Yang Ai smiled and took out a wine jar, "I found this by chance, please don't be too dissatisfied with my virtuous brother."
Everyone is young. Although everyone in the Yang family has a high status, they are descendants of Yuanying after all. They also know etiquette and treat others like a spring breeze.
The five of them were drinking and chatting, and Lin Bai asked about the wood demon again, but no one knew the details.
Lin Bai stopped asking in detail and just chatted.
"When I went to pick you up just now, I saw a happy face on your face, but what good things did the Gu family give you?" Yang Shu asked with a smile.
"It's just a deputy calligraphy treasure." Lin Bai said with a smile.
"Please take a look." Yang Ai is the youngest and has a somewhat naive temperament.
"They are not outsiders." Yang Huan couldn't help but muttered when she saw Lin Bai's reserve.
"That's how it should be." Lin Bai smiled and took out the gift box, opened it in front of everyone, and saw a piece of shabby linen.
Open it and take a closer look. There are two words on it: no dirt.
There is no momentum and no order, just like the calligraphy written by a beginner. But upon closer inspection, although the linen cloth carrying the two characters is worn out, the characters become more and more pure.
Lin Bai felt that these two words were more pure than the previous word "sword", and he didn't know what the situation of the two words "book" was, and what he was thinking about. Everyone remained silent, only observing and pondering carefully. Within a quarter of an hour, Yang Ai closed his eyes and shook his head, followed by Lin Bai, then Yang Shu, and then Yang Bing.
Yang Huanhuan glanced at Lin Bai, curled her lips, and waved her hand to put away the linen.
Everyone sat quietly and thought about it again, and after a long time they opened their eyes one after another. Let’s take a drinking tour and taste each one.
"Words are human figures, especially for monks of our generation." Yang Ai held the wine glass and frowned slightly, "Although I rarely go out, I have seen many seniors leave words, some are thin, free and easy, some are handsome. Elegance and elegance, or ancient charm, They all have grace and meaning. Senior Chen's words on the rough hemp still contain the meaning of swords. The words are extraordinary, and the people are even more extraordinary." He shook his head slightly and sighed, "I now know what it means to return to one's original nature."< br>
When Yang Ai said this, he raised his glass and said, "Drink."
Everyone raises their glasses.
After chatting for a while, Lin Bai asked about Chen Zhiyuan of Daoyin Sect.
I asked Zhu Jianyang before, but couldn't get the details.
However, Yang Shu and others are descendants of Yuanying after all, and they do know more than others, but not much more.
Chen Zhiyuan, the leader of the Daoyin Sect, actually came from the Iron Sword Sect. He had no reputation before the age of forty, and his cultivation was not developed.
Later, Tiejianmen was looted and Chen Zhiyuan wandered around. But somehow, he seems to have enlightened himself, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has built a foundation along the way.
Later, he cleaned up the rivers and mountains and established the Tao Yin Sect. There were many challenges coming and going, but no one could win. Even the Golden Pill monk could not stop Chen Zhiyuan's sword, and his reputation spread far and wide.
After he swallows the pill into his belly, no one in the same realm can rival him, and his reputation becomes even greater. When he attained the enlightenment of Yuanying, he even had the name of heaven and man.
"It is rumored that the Iron Sword Sect was invaded and the inheritance was lost. At that time, Senior Chen was over forty years old and could only practice Qi at the third level. Later, he sang all the way without any hindrance, even the mundane affairs of the sect did not slow him down. Entering the country and successfully proving the Nascent Soul." Yang Shu was filled with emotion.
They were all young people. After chatting for a while, they started talking about something else.
Yang Ai drank a lot, and several people exchanged glasses, and soon he got drunk.
Yang Shu hugged Lin Bai and kept begging Lin Bai to send him messages and messages, complaining that he missed her.
The commotion lasted until midnight, and everyone was drunk, leaving only Lin Bai, Yang Huan and Yang Ai.
"Shu'er and Bing'er are drunk. Send them back," Yang Huan said.
"Sister, I haven't drunk enough yet, so don't worry about them." Yang Ai smiled.
"Be obedient!" Yang Huan pretended to be a big sister.
"Okay." Yang Ai had no temper and could only do as he was told, "Then I'll come back later and let's drink all night long."
"No need, you are still young, you shouldn't drink too much!" Yang Huan said.
Yang Ai had no choice but to take Yang Shu and Yang Bing away.
Yang Huanhuan and Lin Bai were the only ones left in the courtyard again.
They entered the house and lit candles.
"It's a bit hot." Yang Huan pulled off his clothes a little.
But I saw the auspicious snow lamp shining slantly on my chest, and my eyes were half-smoked with peach blossom wine.
"Sister Huanhuan, isn't this good..." Lin Bai was greedy, but also very frightened.
"It's okay, Ancestor doesn't care." Yang Huan took out a gourd, stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly, and light ripples immediately appeared.
"Okay." Her face was deeply red and she tilted her head slightly.
The waves in his eyes are like the waves in the river, and the person is like the moon shining in the flower forest.
Now that he has reached this level, Lin Bai knows that he can no longer retreat, so he works hard to serve her, and Sister Huanhuan also welcomes her very much.
After fussing for a long time, I was finally able to say something private.
"Is that senior familiar with you?" The alcoholism on Yang Huan's face subsided slightly, and the feeling of spring increased.
What she was referring to was the wood demon. She had seen Lin Bai's dead wood cicada supernatural power when she was in Mianlong Mountain before. Although she didn't ask about it at that time, she was still very curious when the wood demon came in person today.
"No." Lin Bai relaxed and said, "How can I, a mere casual cultivator, recognize such people?"
"That magical power cannot be obtained by our generation of foundation builders. You are truly a blessing from heaven..." Yang Huan's tone was actually a little sour.
"If it weren't for God's favor, how could I have met Sister Huanhuan?" Lin Bai said sweetly.
Yang Huan really enjoyed it and smiled softly.
"By the way, Sister Huanhuan," Lin Bai kept talking, "I want to understand the pure sword intention of Senior Chen. Sister Huanhuan, can you help me find someone to make a few flying knives? They need to carry the pure intention. But also hard and sharp.”
Lin Bai asked Jiang Huo to do this before, but Jiang Huo got Jiang Xingchi's order and went out on business, so the matter was delayed.
Now that he met Sister Huanhuan, Lin Bai became even more shameless and only caught a sheep.
"There is someone in my family who is good at refining weapons." Yang Huan did not refuse, but just looked at Lin Bai and asked, "How many weapons do I need to make?"
"The more the merrier, of course." Lin Bai quickly supported her.
"That won't work." Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "Looking at it now, I can only play one."
"What's wrong? Sister Huanhuan is the best to me!" Lin Bai immediately tried his best to serve Sister Huanhuan well.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Yang Huan rested enough and stretched out two fingers, "Two handles."
"..." Lin Bai finally understood that the beautiful and kind-hearted Sister Huanhuan had also followed the old path of Jiang Yatou and started to play tricks on her.
There was nothing he could do, Lin Bai always knew how to live a good life, and he didn't want to go out to spend spirit stones, so he could only serve him carefully.
It was already too late now. By daybreak, I had only collected four pieces, and I didn’t know when they would be delivered.
Lin Bai still wanted to fight, but Sister Huanhuan felt distressed.
"Next time I go to Chunyu's Bamboo Tao Garden, I'll talk about the rest then." Yang Huan was familiar with the Taoist scriptures and actually knew the story of fishing in the lake.
Not long after, Yang Ai came looking for him again.
"Send him away from the mountain." Yang Huan urged Yang Ai to do things.
Lin Bai followed Yang Ai and headed east. After leaving the territory of Qiaoshan Sect, the two parted ways and agreed to drink again another day.
Pass by Tianchi Mountain and enter Xinyi Square.
Lin Bai kept going and came to the Crystal Palace again.
Meng Yuan sent a letter before, but Qu Ruyi said nothing in the letter. She only complained about her being in solitary confinement and relied on Lin Bai.
Therefore, until now, Lin Bai didn't know what happened to Xiuxiu.
"No letter has been sent." The old repairman at the counter of the Crystal Palace shook his head.
"Has the disciple who got the opportunity returned to the sect?" Lin Bai asked again.
"I haven't returned yet." The old cultivator shook his head and said with a smile: "I must be still in a stable state. Fairy Shen Yu also has other teachings."
Lin Bai had no choice but to write another letter.
"Please also ask fellow Taoist to forward it to Senior Sister Meng Yuan." Lin Bai sealed the envelope.
"Meng...Meng Yuan?" The old cultivator looked Lin Bai up and down, seeming to have doubts.
"Qu Ruyi was imprisoned and could only ask Senior Sister Meng Yuan to hand it over." Lin Bai explained.
"That's it." The old cultivator stroked his beard and felt relieved, "Let me just say, you always send messages, it is obvious that our friendship is very strong. Meng Yuan has always had the demeanor of a senior sister, and will never steal the love of a junior sister."
"..." Lin Bai had no choice but to take out a bottle of Tiger Wolf Pills and presented it to him.
After chatting for a while, Lin Bai went to Tianchi Pavilion again.
Yao Qianyuan followed Yao Qianyuan to the quiet room on the second floor, and the two of them sat down separately.
"I heard that you went to the Qiaoshan sect." Yao Qianyuan poured tea, "In the past, when you sent Pei Ning up the mountain, you were inconspicuous, but now you have caught the attention of the Gu family."
"But I have better luck." Lin Bai found that Yao Qianyuan was a little sad.
The two talked for a while, and then Lin Bai returned to the cave.
After a while, Miaomiao came to the door.
After asking, she found out that it was Jiang Xiaobai who sent her to invite him.
The master and apprentice were walking towards Yuhu, and Lin Bai asked casually: "You are so diligent, are you reaping the benefits?"
"Miaomiao don't dare." She said without any panic, and the smile on her face remained.
"When you lie, don't avoid other people's eyes." Lin Bai immediately stopped to teach his disciples, "Since you lie, you must believe it in your heart. Otherwise, if someone sees the truth, you will still suffer."
"Yes." Miaomiao bravely admitted her mistake.
"That's not right!" Lin Bai immediately pinched her face and said, "You can't lie anymore!"
"Miaomiao listen to Master and never lie in the future!" Miaomiao looked up at Lin Bai seriously, her eyes did not dodge, but she was very serious.
Lin Bai couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false for a while. When I touched her hand and found it was a little warm, I realized that she was coaxing again.
"Miaomiao, who did you learn this from?" Lin Bai glared at her.
"Follow Master." Miaomiao smiled.
Lin Bai looked at her to make sure she wasn't lying this time.
