Chapter 216 Shipai
There was one person and one fox in the quiet room, but there was no sound.
Lin Bai knelt down beside the low table with a respectful look on his face, nothing like the calm elder he had shown before in front of the three women.
The fox was sitting on the low table, with a stone tablet wrapped in its tail, and was studying it carefully.
The stone tablet is said to be a stone tablet, but I don't know what material it is made of. It just looks very rustic and feels like it is made of ordinary bluestone.
It's the size of a baby's hand and has a small hole on it for threading.
There is a word "无" on the front of the stone tablet, which is very simple. A few lines on the back outline a long river. I don't know where it starts and where it flows.
Lin Bai had sneaked by himself before and didn't notice anything strange about the stone tablet. It's just that Changhe looks very familiar, and he has seen it before.
The fox looked at it for a long time, not knowing whether he saw the clue or not, but he closed his eyes again.
After a quarter of an hour, the fox remained motionless.
Lin Bai stood by respectfully, saying to himself that the fox looked quite pretty when he didn't speak.
It's just that I have long heard that this stinky fox can transform, but I have no chance to see him. I also asked Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua in the secret realm, but both girls kept it secret.
"I guess he is very ugly and has no face to see others. He is ugly and has a bad mouth. They complement each other. I only wronged Xiuxiu..."
Lin Bai kept slandering, but his face remained respectful.
After a while, the fox opened his eyes. With a flick of his tail, he threw the stone tablet into Lin Bai's face.
"Fairy, don't throw things away!" Lin Bai caught it awkwardly and cursed a few more times in his mind.
The fox sat on its butt on the low table, its tail twirling around and then stopping.
Lin Bai was observing the fox and always felt that the fox was going to do something strange.
Sure enough, the fox closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly moved his tail, gently sketching in the void.
Lin Bai held the stone plaque in her hand and looked at the fox's tail for a while, knowing that she was copying Changhe.
Soon, the fox stopped, opened his eyes, and glared at Lin Bai fiercely.
This is a failure in copying and angering others. Lin Bai knew it, but he still pretended to be innocent and ignorant.
"This place is too licentious, not a place to practice Taoism!" said the fox.
It's unsteady to walk and the ground is strangely uneven! If you can't do it, then you can't do it, and it's someone else's fault! Lin Bai immediately leaned over and said, "Fairy, please don't blame me."
Seeing that Lin Bai was a wise man, the fox stopped looking for trouble and just lay down, his eyes empty, like a sage who had been drained. Lin Bai felt a bit like Sister Huanhuan afterwards.
After a while, when the fox made no move, Lin Bai asked: "Fairy, what is the use of this stone tablet? Is it also related to the Wuxiang Tomb?"
"I don't know." The fox shook his head slightly and said: "Anyway, just keep it well. Copying it in your spare time may be beneficial to you."
"Thank you, Fairy, for your advice." Seeing that the fox really didn't want to grab anything, Lin Bai quickly bowed to him.
However, if the fox borrows something, he must pay some interest, and he cannot borrow it for free.
The fox's fur should be plucked out. Foxes are very capable and ask for some good things to facilitate future troubles.
"Fairy, you have to help me!" As he said, Lin Bai started to stroke the fox's fur.
"Help?" The fox said lazily, "If you fall in love with a girl, I'll knock you out and you can just go to bed."
You didn't let Xiuxiu see me, but sold someone else's girl? Lin Bai knew that the fox had no morals at all, and he knew that she had never been a good person, so he said: "Fairy, I'm not interested in those things." His voice was quite helpless.
"Oh?" The fox became interested and said, "I originally thought that you and Xiuxiu had been separated for many years, but they separated again as soon as they met. I felt guilty and planned to make it happen for you. Since you have no distracting thoughts, then Forget it.”
"Don't, don't, don't." Lin Bai really has no temper. He has met many Nascent Souls. Aunt Gu is cold, Old Ancestor Yang is kind, Old Ancestor Cheng is taciturn, and he is mighty and domineering to the old ancestor, but the smelly fox is not. The appearance of a Nascent Soul is truly disgusting.
"Fairy, please stop joking." Lin Bai sighed and got down to business, "As you know, I offended Yunxia Sect Qu Chengjia."
As he spoke, Lin Bai stroked his hair, and his tone became more helpless, and said: "I am just building a foundation, how dare I confront the direct descendant of Nascent Soul? I said strong words at that time, but although I felt happy, in fact, these days, I have not thought about food for tea. I don’t want to, I’m really scared and I can’t feel safe.”
"Isn't it peaceful? I see that you and the little girl from the Jiang family are sleeping happily. You are not disturbed, are you?" The fox raised his tail.
"This...I am very scared."
Lin Bai was also shameless, grabbed the fox's tail, stroked it hard, and begged: "Since the fairy can see the past in Patriarch Gu's bronze mirror, he must also have seen many of Lu Qingyin's secret and forbidden methods. One It's hard for me to deal with foundation building, let alone the Golden Core cultivator. I just ask the fairy to have some mercy and give me one or two secret techniques so that I can fight with Qu Chengjia without losing."
"You forced Lu Qingyin to use secret techniques several times. Is this difficult to deal with?" Fox asked.
"After all, it's difficult to defend against secret methods." Lin Bai was very reasonable, "Qu Chengjia is a golden elixir monk, so he must have more methods."
"Qu Chengjia cultivates numerology and is good at setting up defenses. Don't be afraid of her, just run away." The fox taught her thoughtfully.
"Fairy," Lin Bai knelt down, straightened up, and said, "I can run for a while, but how can I run for a lifetime? At that time, I was weak and she was strong, so I naturally avoided her. Now that she has turned her back, I don't know what to do. It happened when it happened. How could I not prepare?”
"You are a lackey of the Gu family. You should ask the Gu family to help you." said the fox.
You, a fox, call me a lackey? You are still a slave of the third surname! Lin Bai cursed in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Although I help the Gu family, the fairy and I are a family!"
The fox was stunned for a moment, moved his tail slightly, and said: "You can sleep with so many people, you are indeed somewhat capable."
"Then ask the fairy to give you some magic!" Lin Bai hurriedly hit the snake and put it on the stick.
"Someday someone will come to teach the Dharma." After the fox finished speaking, he stepped into the void, his figure gradually faded, and then disappeared.
"What's the difference between running away after reading my stone sign and running away after sleeping? I can at least say a few sweet words!"
Lin Bai looked at the empty cave and scolded the fox in his heart for being unreasonable.
I started the earth fire and made two furnaces of tiger and wolf pills, and then my anger was relieved.
Take out the stone tablet and observe it carefully.
"The stinky fox asked me to copy a lot in my spare time. Although she always loves to cause harm to others, she still has some knowledge. You should listen to these words."
"But she is a dignified Nascent Soul Beast, knows many secrets, has friendships with the leaders of the three sects, and is Li Xinghe's disciple. Why can't she copy it?"
"Could it be said that the original owner of this thing was higher than the Nascent Soul? That's right, that strange secret realm can raise the masters of the three sects. I don't know how high the realm of the master of the secret realm is. Although the fox is a Nascent Soul, after all, he is new and still inferior. There are many of those three, so they are lacking in moral conduct.”
"Li Chenyu can't see the clues. In other words, she can't activate or unlock the beauty of this stone tablet."
Lin Bai sat quietly for a long time, dazed for a while, thinking that although Fox had many skills, what she was proficient in was the escape method, and she majored in the avenue of space. The long river on this stone tablet is obviously a metaphor for the river of time, and it is naturally difficult for the fox to fit in.
"My natal magical power, the deadwood cicada, can take away people's time. I am relying on the avenue of time. I don't know if I can do it."
"But I also practice escape, so I don't know if it will be as harmful as the fox."
After thinking for a while, Lin Bai looked at the stone sign again.
The word "无" is very simple, and if you look closely, you won't find any meaning in it.
Previously, when Lin Bai received a calligraphy treasure from Chen Zhiyuan, a heavenly being, when he looked at the word "sword", he felt that it had the meaning of returning to nature, and thus obtained the pure meaning of the sword.
Now let's compare the word "wu" and the word "sword". Both of them have a somewhat simple meaning. The latter is indeed pure and clean, but compared with the former, it seems a bit disharmonious and no longer has the meaning of returning to nature.
"People call Chen Zhiyuan a man of heaven, but how does the owner of this stone tablet compare to heaven?"
Lin Bai took out his pen and ink, and when he was about to start writing, he had no sense of good or bad luck in his heart, so he started writing.
I copied it several times, wasted a lot of paper, and gained nothing.
"I knew it earlier."
Turn the stone tablet over again and take a closer look at the long river outlined by simple lines. Following the example of a fox, Lin Bai read for a long time before writing.
After painting for a long time, I got nothing.
"The fox is not playing tricks on me, right?"
Lin Bai muttered for a while, thinking that he might as well believe the fox. Although the fox talks very stinky, he doesn't lie at all.
After painting for a while, he felt upset, so he simply painted something else, including a fox and a turtle.
After fussing for a long time, Lin Bai closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.
Think back to the lines on the stone tablet, and then gather the mist to form the stone tablet.
However, something strange happened suddenly, and the mist poured endlessly in front of him, but it could not condense a corner of the stone tablet.
Even if you have something in mind, you just can't form it.
In the past, black jade cicadas gathered together, imitating the meaning of jade cicadas, causing the fog to roll. Now when another stone tablet is drawn up, the mist seems to be drained away.
He immediately stopped, and the stone tablet, which had become a corner the size of a fingernail, turned into mist and returned to its original place.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
"My cultivation level is too low and my knowledge is too shallow. A small horse cannot pull a big cart."
After calming down, Lin Bai thought about the way forward again.
After passing through the secret realm with the word "无", I finally met Xiuxiu and settled a worry.
Aunt Gu also took her revenge and thought that she needed to rest for a while so that she no longer had to worry about her excessive demands.
But she invited Xiang Wuhui, and she didn't know whether to sell her life to Xiang Wuhui.
Anyway, this was Nascent Soul's matter, and Lin Bai thought it was not his turn to take care of it.
Now that I have some free time, I have to plan carefully.
Cultivation should naturally come first. Now that I have fallen out with Qu Chengjia, although I am not afraid of her causing trouble, it is only right to advance as early as possible.
The second is various skills. The method of making a talisman is to put it first, and the same is true for alchemy, as long as it can fool the disciple.
But the way of formation requires more care.
That senior Gu Laoquan has already exhausted his efforts. Since he promised to teach, he must study harder.
The deceased is like this, not giving up day and night.
The method of Hunyuan body quenching cannot be stopped. Even though there are few opponents in the same realm now, it is always good to be more capable.
"Practice swordsmanship with Sister Pei, pay tuition for Miaomiao, drink with Sister Huanhuan. I also have to train apprentices, preach in Yuhu Lake, go to Fengming Mountain to preach, and have many other entertainments."
After thinking about it for a long time, I just felt that it was a mess.
"I also have to learn from Senior Zhu Jianyang and stay in seclusion for a few days. After these few days of work, when Aunt Gu has rewarded me, I will go into seclusion for a few days."
Lin Bai sighed, recovered slightly, and then opened his eyes.
After refining two furnaces of pills, I saw someone entering a spiritual power.
The good apprentice is here again.
I opened the door with a headache, and as expected. Miaomiao and Jiangyu were sewn together, and today there is Ye Qingmeng.
The three girls bowed, and Miaomiao raised her head and came to the alchemy stove. She moved her nose, sniffed hard, curled her lips, and muttered: "Master, you are so free."
This girl has been refining alchemy with Lin Bai since she was a child. Although she has not learned any skills, she can still identify many elixirs.
Lin Bai knew that she smelled the elixir fragrance of Hulangwan, and his old face couldn't stand it. He was about to give him a serious lecture when he saw Miaomiao looking left and right.
"Master, where is the fox?" Miaomiao took out a thick book with six words on it, "Knowledge of All Things in the Forest". She was proud and confident. She held the book in one hand and patted the book with the other hand. She said with a smile: "I will learn from it." I don’t know how to do it, but I also want to identify whether the fox is male or female!”
It's okay for you to catch fleas and lice from the fox, but if you rummage through the fox's fur, we might both be in trouble.
"You should take a rest." Lin Bai had a headache and warned: "Everything in the world has a spirit, whether it is a bird or an animal, whether it is a male or a female, we should all be in awe and have compassion. Don’t tease them at will, don’t bully them at will, and don’t explore their parents.”
Seeing that Master was serious, Miaomiao tilted her head and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Master is right!"
Jiang Yu and Ye Qingmeng admired the senior Zhuan Lun even more when they saw his thought-provoking words and compassion for all living things.
Lin Bai fooled the three girls and chatted with Ye Qingmeng again.
Because there was no fox around, Lin Bai opened his mouth to talk to Brother Li and closed his mouth to talk about Brother Li without any hesitation, which was very comfortable.
After chatting for a long time, Lin Bai sent the three girls back to Yuhu, competed with Jiang Yatou, and then returned.
Perhaps there were many things to do. Only one day later, Lin Bai was copying the long river, and someone else came.
When I opened the door, I saw that they were all acquaintances.
Chun Yutong took the lead and came with Chun Yuche and Chun Yuyou. The three girls Miaomiao stood aside, very well-behaved.
"Brother Zhuanlun!" Chun Yutong said in a loud voice. He used to be Brother Yun, but now he is Brother Zhuanlun. He laughed non-stop, "Is this the master disciple?" He looked at Miaomiao.
"Senior." Miaomiao looked polite.
After reciting the etiquette, I realized that Chunyu's visit was specifically to express gratitude for the helping hand in the secret realm.
In fact, there was no help at all, just walking together for a while.
If the Chunyu family had good relations with the Yang family, if it really helped them, it could only be said that they protected Yang Shu and Yang Ai for sister Huanhuan's sake, and by the way, Chunyu brother Zhou Quan. Of course, there is also the friendship with Chun Yuye in the past.
After some polite exchanges, Chun Yutong gave him a gift. Lin Bai did not refuse and asked Miaomiao to accept it.
After chatting for a long time, before leaving, Chun Yutong smiled and invited Lin Bai to Zhutao Garden, and said that Chun Yuye also missed Yun Yun very much.
One day after sending the Chunyu brothers away, the Shang brothers came again.
The Shang family was a vassal of the Cheng family and was seriously injured in the secret realm. Lin Bai was able to help a little.
After talking politely for a long time, I accepted the gifts and sent them away.
"I gave He Wenyao the healing elixir, but he didn't come to thank me. As a master disciple, he doesn't know etiquette, and he is far inferior to me, a low-level casual cultivator." Lin Bai sighed.
One day later, the Cheng family brothers and sisters came again. The first person was a female cultivator, Cheng Yiyou, the eldest sister of the Cheng family. I had met the Cheng brothers and sisters before when I was in the Qiaoshan sect, but I didn't expect that they would come here specially. With Cheng Shuang's unreliable temper, I was afraid that Cheng Yiyou was responsible.
The fox once said that Cheng Yiyou was virtuous, and upon meeting him, it turned out to be true.
Moreover, Cheng Yiyou is far more reliable than the brothers Cheng Shuang and Cheng Daojin. He speaks softly and is thorough in everything. He is indeed the demeanor that a child of a big family should have.
Lin Bai felt that Cheng Yiyou and Meng Yuan were somewhat similar, both were safe people.
After chatting, he casually asked Qu Ruyi and learned that he went to Tianchi Sect to find Pei Ning.
Two days later, Gu Yao came to the door in person.
"This girl is getting taller and taller." Gu Yao touched Miaomiao's head and gestured her height in front of her chest. She didn't look at Lin Bai and just said: "Let's go and divide the meat."
It’s finally time to reward yourself! Lin Bai thought Aunt Gu had forgotten it!
