Chapter 173: Ordered in times of crisis
When they arrived at Fengming Pavilion, they were greeted by a female Qi practitioner.
"Uncle," the female cultivator was young, her name was Zhu Yuhui, she was in her early twenties, with a sad look on her face, "I heard that Yumao..."
Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly and walked upstairs with Lin Bai.
"What about our store? Once Brother Yumao left, there was no one in charge. Do you want to invite Sister Yuling here?" Zhu Yuhui caught up and asked.
"Yuling?" Zhu Jianyang shook his head and said, "Go home and ask Wanjun and let her make the decision."
"But I heard about brother's matter with the Tian family..." Zhu Yuhui saw Zhu Jianyang frowning and quickly stopped.
"This matter has nothing to do with Jun Jun, and it has nothing to do with the Tian family. Don't talk nonsense in the future!" Zhu Jianyang waved his sleeves.
Zhu Yuhui retreated obediently.
Arriving at the quiet room on the second floor, Zhu Jianyang and Lin Bai sat down separately, both of them silent.
Originally, the Zhu family could not get involved in this matter, but Zhu Yumao died because of it.
Speak of injustice, it is indeed injustice. But in Yuan Ying fighting, let alone practicing Qi, it is normal for a few golden elixirs to die.
The Tian family was even more unjust, and three Zhuji died for no reason. It was really a disaster from heaven.
It's just that Lu Haike first visited the Qiaoshan Sect and then immediately provoked a dispute. The two must be related.
Jiuyin Mountain is weaker than Qiaoshan Sect. Firstly, Ancestor Xiang has extraordinary strength and is the first of the three sects; secondly, even if Gu Qingshan dies in the Qiaoshan Sect, he still has four Yuanyings, one more than Jiuyinshan; thirdly, the Qiaoshan Sect is rich and talented. , there are far more golden elixir monks than there are in Jiuyin Mountain.
Moreover, the Gu family had a new death of Nascent Soul, and no Nascent Soul was present during the big ceremony, so it was hard to show off. This time Lu Haike came to the door, if the Gu family didn't come up with something, Yuan Ying would be completely embarrassed.
So what does Jiuyin Mountain want to do with this action? Are you testing the Qiaoshan sect? Or do you really want to start a fight?
They are all from the Nascent Soul sect, not the Foundation Establishment sect. Once a war breaks out, I don't know how many people will die.
"Although the two sects have had disputes in the past, in the end they were all trivial matters and did not involve the fundamentals of the sect. Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect have been fighting for many years, and the most they use is Jin Dan, and Yuanying rarely ends up."
Zhu Jianyang pinched his beard and frowned, "But this time Jiuyin Mountain really doesn't take the Gu family seriously. Why do they want to provoke a dispute?"
"Either for the survival of the sect, or for the struggle for the great road." Lin Bai said with a smile, and added, "If the Nascent Souls of Jiuyin Mountain are all madmen, then let's talk about it separately."
"How could he be a madman?" Zhu Jianyang smiled bitterly, "Even if the Yuanying monk is short of strategy, he will not easily make grudges against other Yuanyings."
"Old Ancestor Gu has just given birth to a baby. It's the time when the spring breeze is triumphant. I don't think she has a gentle temper. Maybe Jiuyin Mountain is heading towards her, and she will fight with all her strength at the slightest provocation." Lin Bai smiled.
"Ancestor Gu still has a plan. This time I went to Yunxia Sect in person to unite with Yunxia Sect and attack Jiuyin Mountain together." Zhu Jianyang said.
Lin Bai nodded, but in his heart he felt that Gu Qingshui's handling of this matter was a bit rough.
The Supreme Leader of the Qiaoshan Sect is not at home, and the Yuan Ying of the Cheng family never farts. Ancestor Gu should first join forces with the ancestor of the Yang family of the Qiaoshan Sect.
After all, the Yang family and Jiuyin Mountain don’t have anything to deal with either.
But Gu Qingshui went to find outsiders first. Even if the Yang family wanted to help, they felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, although the Yunxia Sect has nothing to do with Jiuyin Mountain, people are definitely happy to see dogs from Jiuyin Mountain and the Gu family biting dogs, so the Yunxia Sect may not necessarily take action.
"Well..." Lin Bai lowered his voice, rubbed his hands, and said, "Our Patriarch Gu is... ahem, is he like Gu Feixue, who hates evil as much as he hates his enemies? He has always devoted himself to cultivation and is not interested in intervening in foreign affairs?"
What this means is whether Gu Qingshui is a practicing idiot.
Zhu Jianyangren was an old man and had been with Lin Bai for a long time, so he immediately understood what Lin Bai meant.
"In the past, before Patriarch Gu attained the Dao Yuan Ying, none of us had ever seen her." Zhu Jianyang's tone was full of reverence, "My ancestors from home have seen her, and they once praised Patriarch Gu for not being disturbed by external objects. He also said that although Patriarch Gu practiced the water method, he was somewhat of a fire nature."
Got it.
Lin Bai sighed and said: "No wonder Patriarch Gu can prove the Nascent Soul, that's it. I should regard Patriarch Gu as a role model."
"Who says it isn't?" Zhu Jianyang nodded.
The two smiled at each other and stopped talking about Gu Qingshui.
I continued talking for a long time, but due to my low level, lack of vision, and lack of intelligence, I could only come up with four words: act according to circumstances.
After finishing talking, Lin Bai returned to his cave.
After a while, Jiang Yu came to the door.
"Senior, how's Miaomiao doing?" Jiang Yu bowed first and then spoke.
She is still childish, but she is mature and more sensible than her own sister.
"It's okay. I'll bring her back in a few days." Lin Bai liked Jiang Yu very much and asked again: "Miaomiao has already entered the Tao. You have been in the Tao for more than three years, how come you are still practicing at the third level of Qi?"< br>
"I don't know either." When Jiang Yu heard this, his face became a little depressed, "Maybe I'm too stupid and not as smart as my sister."
"It has nothing to do with intelligence." Lin Bai suggested: "You can talk to your ancestor some other time. With your qualifications, you should never be like this."
"Yes." Jiang Yu bowed down and said, "My sister invites you to come."
Lin Bai also wanted to talk to Girl Jiang. I've been worried about everything these days, my brain has turned into mush, and I need some fruit to warm my heart.
Arriving at Yuhu, Lin Bai climbed onto the Black Tower.
"Nascent Soul's actions, especially those involving sects, will not be without aim." Jiang Xiaobai had no conclusion after listening to Lin Bai's story, and only inferred: "As for the deeper meaning, I don't know."
< br>
"Then it's as if you didn't say anything?" Lin Bai said.
"You asked me to say it, but you think what I said was not good?" Jiang Xiaobai said angrily, "The Nascent Soul is so tall. I look up at people, how can I see clearly?" She opened Lin Bai's hand and said, "Don't touch it. Me!”
"I was wrong." Lin Bai always admitted when he was wrong.
Forgetting everything and having a lot of fun makes you feel refreshed.
"I know that you have a close friendship with Zhu Yumao, and he is Miaomiao's biological father, but even if you are extraordinary, you should not be involved." Jiang Xiaobai felt comfortable being served, and naturally he was concerned and warned, "Revenge is due." Coming day.”
"I understand." Lin Bai actually thought so too, and would talk about revenge later.
"Also," Jiang Xiaobai started to ramble, "Miao Miao has lost her loved one, and Xiao Yu'er wants to visit Fengming Mountain. You take her there."
"That's how it should be." Lin Bai left Yuhu and went to the Crystal Palace.
Qu Ruyi's letter was full of random words, but he didn't say anything serious. All I know is that Xiuxiu has not left the mountain yet, and the fox has not shown his face.
Lin Bai wrote the letter and briefly asked about Gu Qingshui's visit to Yunxia Sect, but he didn't write more.
After calling Peining and telling her the news, Peining remained silent for a while.
"The prices of elixirs and talismans in Xinyi Square have increased." Lin Bai said with emotion, "Traders have always had a sensitive nose."
"The Tianchi Sect is also working harder to forge the flying sword weapon." Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Do you really want to fight?"
"It's possible." Lin Bai nodded slightly.
"Zhu Yumao's revenge should be avenged, but not now." Pei Ning was very steady.
The two chatted for a while, then took Jiang Yu with them, and the three of them came to Fengming Mountain together.
The Zhu family has been in a lot of troubles these years. First, the ancestor of Jindan took away a group of elites from the sect, and then Zhu Yuyan, the foundation-building seedling, died outside. Zhu Jianshui, Zhu Jianshan, and Zhu Jiancong died of old age one after another.
In comparison, Zhu Yumao was the least important one due to his poor cultivation and lack of talent.
But Lin Bai and Zhu Yumao have known each other for the longest time and have the deepest friendship.
This time, no bones of Zhu Yumao were left, only the burial mound.
After burning incense, Lin Bai stayed here for three days, and then he and Pei Ning took Jiang Yu and Miaomiao back to Xinyi Square.
"You should practice well and don't think wildly." Lin Bai comforted Miaomiao and warned seriously: "As the saying goes, those who stay for a long time will fly high. You should remember it."
"Miaomiao remembers it." Miaomiao wore a black Taoist robe and knelt down to kowtow.
Lin Bai said no more, and Jiang Yu took Miaomiao's hand and left.
Two days later, Zhu Jianyang came to the door.
"Ancestor Gu is back from Yunxia Sect?" Lin Bai immediately guessed what he meant.
"Not bad." Zhu Jianyang sat down with a wry smile on his face.
"What do you say?" Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat when he saw Zhu Jianyang like this.
"The Yunxia Sect seems unwilling to help." Zhu Jianyang shook his head and sighed, "It is said that the old sect leader is in retreat and cannot make the decision on such a big matter. He only promised to send some elixirs and talismans... In fact, he declined Old Ancestor Gu." He had expected it. arrive! Lin Bai knew that even though Yunxia Sect and Jiuyin Mountain had always fought in the past, they had not broken their bones after all. They were now looking forward to the fight between the Gu family and Jiuyin Mountain.
Gu Qingshui's trip was in vain, and she was embarrassed again for no reason.
"Then what does Patriarch Gu plan to do?" Lin Bai asked again.
"We have ordered the Tian family and Huaqing sect, as well as several of our small clan sects to prepare." Zhu Jianyang only shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"What do the two ancestors Cheng and Yang say?" Lin Bai smiled.
"Ancestor Gu didn't ask," Zhu Jianyang said.
Lin Bai was speechless. Isn't Aunt Gu acting too stupid? The Cheng and Yang families are from the same family as you, so if you go to invite them as a descendant, they must give you some face, at least provide some logistics and so on.
"Ancestor Xiang is not here, what will Master Yue say?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"What kind of leader is Yue Fengshu? How can he have any say?" Zhu Jianyang also laughed. "He was sent to Jiuyin Mountain by Patriarch Gu to ask for Lu Shiping."
Lin Bai nodded slightly, this move was okay. After all, Yue Fengshu is the head of the clan, and he is a direct descendant of his ancestors, so his status is sufficient. Unless Jiuyin Mountain really wants to go shopping, it won't do anything to Yue Fengshu.
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhu Jianyang said goodbye and left.
Lin Bai was restless, so he went out to Zhutao Garden to inquire about Yang Shu.
"I don't know!" Yang Shu grabbed Lin Bai and asked with concern: "The Gu family really wants to fight? Then Feixue..."
"..." Lin Bai had a headache for a long time and then left.
My butt is not hot anymore, so Gai Yingqiu comes again.
"Is the Qiaoshan faction going to fight? Then Senior Brother Yang..." Gai Yingqiu thought in her heart.
Lin Bai tried so hard to fool her away, only to have a headache.
After ten days of meditation in the cave, Zhu Jianyang brought another news.
It turned out that Yue Fengshu learned after he went to Jiuyin Mountain that Lu Haike was so angry because of Lu Shiping's unprovoked murder that he expelled Lu Shiping from Jiuyin Mountain and no longer recognized this descendant.
Moreover, Lu Haike made it clear that the incident involving Lu Shiping from now on would have nothing to do with him. Even if Gu Qingshui takes action, he will never pay attention. Whether you are dead or alive is determined by God.
These words are meant to fool people, whoever believes them will be stupid.
Yue Fengshu didn't believe it either, so he asked Lu Shiping again about her whereabouts. After asking, I found out that Lu Shiping left Jiuyin Mountain and went to Cangyun Gate to become a worshiper.
This Cangyun Sect is the Jindan Sect, separated from Jiuyin Mountain by the sea, and has always been a subordinate of Jiuyin Mountain.
Lu Shiping was certainly wrong to kill people, but in the end it was Jin Dan who acted.
If the Gu family goes to war with Jiuyin Mountain, that's fine. But if Gu Qingshui went directly to Cangyun Gate to capture the golden elixir, the Gu family's faces would not look good.
Poor Gu Qingshui mobilized the entire clan, enlisted helpers, and asked the Tian family and the Huaqing faction to prepare, but Jiuyinshan didn't want to end it himself, so it really hit the cotton with a punch.
Jiuyin Mountain made Ancestor Gu look like a dog. In other words, Gu Qingshui was still too young and unwilling to communicate with the old Yuanyings.
"Given Ancestor Gu's temperament, he definitely didn't take any more tests... he was sure that foreign objects wouldn't invade him, so he just took action?" Lin Bai didn't care about the Gu family's reputation. A war between the Nascent Soul Sect would be of no benefit to anyone, so he hoped that Gu Qingshui would take action soon. Ended early.
"Originally, Gu Jinzhen and his group couldn't stop them." Zhu Jianyang whispered, "In the end, the Yang family ancestor came forward and persuaded Gu Gu to go back."
"What should you say in the end?" Lin Bai didn't know what to say.
"What else can I say?" Zhu Jianyang also smiled, "Old Ancestor Yang said that since it is only related to Lu Shiping, then go get Lu Shiping. If Cangyun Sect doesn't make friends, then fight Cangyun Sect. If Jiuyin Mountain intervenes, then the Qiaoshan Sect will not be deterred just because Ancestor Xiang is not at home."
"Ancestor Yang speaks from experience." Lin Bai sighed in admiration and thought that Sister Huanhuan's ancestor was indeed reliable, so he asked again: "Then it's not easy for the Gu family to end immediately. I'm afraid the Tian family will take the lead, right?"
"The Tian family only has two golden elixirs, and Tian Guiqin is about to have a headache." Zhu Jianyang smiled first, then smiled bitterly, "But my family is not even qualified to have a headache."
It's not like the two Nascent Soul sects have an inextricable feud, so how could they go into battle naked? As expected, I'd better send my younger brother to grind them out first.
It's a pity that the Tian family suffered an unreasonable disaster first and then was pushed to the forefront. They really have no temper.
However, with the support of the Qiaoshan Sect behind them, they will definitely not be defeated and there will be no shortage of things. There may even be other Jindan sects that end up there. It's just that some people in the Tian family will inevitably die, which may damage their vitality.
As for after the war, there must be rewards.
"Then your house...or you going?" Lin Bai asked.
"Who else is there besides me?" Zhu Jianyang took a sip of tea, making a sizzling sound in his mouth, as if it was very bitter.
The two chatted for a long time and then went out together to go to Qiaoshan Sect.
When I arrived at Qingyun Mountain, I saw several people waiting outside the palace, all building foundations. There are the Tian family, the Huaqing sect, and the Tianchi sect.
"Sister Fang, ancestors are here to discuss matters?" Lin Bai stepped forward and asked.
"Yes." Gu Fang sighed, pulled Lin Bai's sleeve and said, "This is Feixue's letter to you."
Is this a secret promise from the heart, a letter from Feiyan? Lin Bai took it and opened it to take a closer look.
It was not a secret promise at all, but Gu Feixue felt that Lin Bai acted with justice first and was worried that Lin Bai would recommend himself to the front line, so he wrote to persuade her.
"Sister Fang, what are you still discussing in the palace now?" After receiving the letter, Lin Bai decided to go and thank him in person another day.
"What else could it be?" Gu Fang gritted her teeth angrily, "Ancestor has already set the rules, but Yue Fengshu still insists that we wait until Ancestor Xiang comes back!"
Zhu Jianyang heard this and asked, "When will Patriarch Xiang come back?"
"I won't be back for a while." Gu Fang sneered, "If Ancestor Xiang can come back early, Jiuyin Mountain won't even dare to let a fart go!"
After talking for a while, nothing came out, just waiting for the superior to make a decision.
After half an hour, the pressure of Nascent Soul suddenly spread out from the hall, and there were waves of water and vapor in the air.
Hearing another "pop" sound, Gu Qingshui's voice came from the hall, "Yue Fengshu! Don't you come and talk to me about crown glory! Senior Brother Xiang is such a hero, how come you are so timid as a direct descendant? Leader!”
Hehe, is this a slap in the face? Although Lin Bai couldn't help laughing, he still felt that Aunt Gu was too rough.
After all, Yue Fengshu is the head of the general affairs. Although he cannot compare with Yuanying, it still depends on the owner when beating a dog. Not only Yue Fengshu's prestige is compromised, it also makes Ancestor Xiang's face look bad.
Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang looked at each other again, both with headaches. Lin Bai could still go out and live alone, but the Zhu family had long been tied to the Gu family's broken boat.
Everyone outside the hall was also stunned, no one dared to say a word.
"I have made up my mind! Don't say any more!" Gu Qingshui's voice came out, and she saw the clear water and walked away to the top of the mountain.
Soon, a group of people walked out of the temple. Tian Guiqin, Li Shouyan, Gu Jinzhen and Gu Jiuzhong.
After a while, Yue Fengshu came out. He had returned to normal, but his expression was ugly and tight.
Everyone bowed to the golden elixirs.
"What was going on in the palace just now is not allowed to be spread among the public!" Gu Jinzhen said in a deep voice.
Everyone bowed again and responded in unison.
"Master Yue, actually my ancestor..." Gu Jinzhen lowered his posture.
"No need to say more." Yue Fengshu raised his hand, expressionless, "We should obey the orders of Patriarch Gu."
After speaking, he looked around and said: "The Tian family is weak and cannot compete with the Cangyun Sect. We will need to allocate more people to the Huaqing Sect. We will also recruit some capable casual cultivators. Promise them huge profits to make them work harder.”
"It should be so. Master Yue's clever plan!" Gu Jinzhen quickly agreed and even flattered him. In fact, at this point, even if Yue Fengshu made some outrageous requests, Gu Jinzhen would never refuse.
"Isn't he just a casual cultivator?" Yue Fengshu pointed at Lin Bai with his chin and said, "I remember that he is on good terms with the Zhu family and should go to the front line to serve."
I have no grudges or grudges, so I provoked you? You blame the fox and Gu Jinzhen for what happened in Longmenfang. Why do you blame me? Lin Bai had no temper and did not dare to say anything. He only looked at Gu Jinzhen.
Gu Jinzhen nodded slightly, indicating that he would accept the errand.
Sure enough, your ancestor hit someone, now you want me to comfort him?
Gu Qingshui is rough in doing things, so you want me to wipe your butt?
This time is different from Mianlong Mountain. At that time, the mountain was full of foundations, so it was easy to kill. But this time there is a golden elixir in the battle!
Lin Bai gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Jiuyin Mountain insults my Gu family, and people say that the Lord will humiliate me and die! Even if the head of Yue doesn't mention it, I will recommend myself!"
At this point, he bowed to the place where Gu Qingshui left and said: "When I was ordered to be in danger, Yun Zhonghe is willing to break his body to pieces in repayment!"
After saying what he said, Lin Bai scolded Gu Qingshui and Yue Fengshu a hundred times in his heart, but he still had a determined look on his face.
