Chapter 247 Meeting
"She is still a child, why are you bullying her?"
When Lin Bai saw Xiuxiu hiding, he reasoned with Peining.
"Children are not gentle and shy." Peining said.
Lin Bai couldn't tell her apart, so he just casually talked about some common principles he used to teach Miao Miao, and then pulled Pei Ning into the pool.
Xiuxiu led the way below, and the three of them dived deep, getting deeper and deeper as they went down.
This small deep pool is like a well. After diving for more than ten feet, it hits the bottom.
The walls are inlaid with fluorite, giving off a faint blue light. The bottom of the pool is paved with bluestone, but it seems to be some kind of formation.
Making secrets to avoid the water, the three of them brushed off the water stains on their robes.
The pool was already small, so the three of them were actually facing each other for a while.
The blush on Xiuxiu's face had not faded yet, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Peining crossed his arms and looked at Xiuxiu with a smile.
Lin Bai couldn't bear Xiuxiu being bullied, so he asked: "Is this a teleportation array?"
"Yes." Xiuxiu nodded immediately and whispered: "The fairy has set up an array here to facilitate travel."
"There must be more than one teleportation array of this kind, right?" Peining finally stopped staring at Xiuxiu and looked at the cave wall.
"A total of eighteen places." Xiu Xiu is an honest child and doesn't hide anything.
"The fox has a bad mouth and has too many enemies. People say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but everyone knows that a cunning fox has eighteen burrows." After Lin Bai finished speaking, he looked at Xiuxiu carefully and said, "Isn't the fairy at home?"
"No." Xiuxiu smiled and shook her head, and asked curiously: "Are you afraid of fairies?"
"He wants to sleep with you, how can he not be afraid of foxes?" Peining interrupted.
"..." Xiuxiu blushed again.
Lin Bai glared at Peining, and Peining asked: "Did I say something wrong?"
It didn't make sense, but Lin Bai was thick-skinned, so that didn't matter, but Xiu Xiu blushed and rubbed her clothes with her head down.
"When you were a child, you grabbed people and wouldn't let them go. When you grow up, you blush?" Pei Ning pinched Xiuxiu's face, "Get out of here quickly!"
Xiuxiu didn't dare to say anything, "Yeah." She responded honestly and took out a token.
The token should be made of jade, matching the bluestone at the bottom of the pool, and then the token emits a distant blue light.
"Hold your breath and keep your heart." Xiu Xiu stretched out her hand.
Lin Bai immediately grabbed Xiuxiu's hand, and then quickly took Peining's hand.
Pei Ning was in a trance for a while, and suddenly felt that the water above his head was rolling, as if he was upside down. The azure brilliance flashed, and his mind was in chaos.
When he landed again, he saw that he was in a pavilion. It is surrounded by trees, mountains and rocks, and there is the sound of bamboo forest and waves.
Before he could ask, he heard a tiger roar.
The pressure of the golden elixir dropped, and Pei Ning's hand was held tightly by Lin Bai. She resisted dizziness and looked back.
I saw a mottled giant tiger outside the pavilion, with its bloody mouth open, revealing sharp teeth like swords.
His eyes were like bells, staring closely at Lin and Pei. His body exuded overwhelming murderous intent, which was extremely majestic and majestic.
Lin Bai had seen this tiger. In the past, when the three factions were causing trouble, the tiger went to Longmenfang in person to inform the fox.
"Tiger." Although this tiger is the fox's bastard, it is a golden elixir realm monster after all, and Lin Bai and Pei Ning will definitely give it a thumbs up.
Unexpectedly, after saluting, the tiger roared again.
A strong wind blew up, bringing with it a stench.
"Go away!" Xiuxiu scolded with a straight face and one hand on her hip.
Sure enough, the tiger put away his fierce look, wagged his tail, and did not move away. He just lay down with a look of aggrievedness on his face.
"It has always been very domineering, showing off its majesty when it sees a stranger. The fairy asked it to protect this place, so even the little deer that passed by would be beaten by him." Xiu Xiu explained, holding Lin Bai's hand. He walked up to the pavilion and said, "Follow me."
The three of them continued south and came to a waterfall.
Passing through the waterfall, you will see another world.
The grass is green and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Butterflies dance and warblers fly, and cranes and green deer roam. A gray bird flew crookedly and landed on Xiuxiu's shoulder, chirping non-stop.
There is a wide pool in front, more than a hundred feet in size.
There is a small island on it with an old peach tree growing on it. Pale pink petals, no green leaves.
Looking up at the sky, the soft moonlight shines down and reflects on the deep pool.
Although there are birds and animals here, it is extremely quiet. When Lin and Pei stepped into this place, they felt calm and not at all agitated.
The aura is rich and should be at the top level of the fourth level.
"That's where fairies practice," Xiu Xiu pointed to the peach tree in the middle of the pool. "It's actually where they sleep every day."
Xiuxiu walked along the water pool again. There were two wooden platforms hidden in the peach forest, with low tea cups and several futons placed on them.
On one of the futons lay a sleeping mole.
"This is where Sister Huang and I practice." Xiuxiu asked Lin and Pei to sit down and poured tea. "I usually go to the island in the middle of the lake to practice, but I don't think it's as good as here."
"This is Huang Ruhua's residence again." Pei Ning suddenly looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai held the tea cup, pretending not to understand, and just nodded, "It is indeed a good place, the fairy really cares about you."
After taking a sip of peach blossom tea, Lin Bai asked in a low voice: "Where did the fairy go? Where is Xiao Huang?"
"I went to Daoyin Sect and said I was going to meet the heavenly beings for a while." Xiuxiu sighed, "Originally the fairy didn't take Sister Huang there, but when she heard that she was going to meet Chen Tianren, Sister Huang said something about the rusty sword. If so, you must follow.”
Sure enough, when he was in the Qiaoshan Sect, Chen Tianren's first disciple Mo Yingcheng came to the Gu family, and then Lin Bai became the middleman, and then he contacted the fox.
It has been nearly two years now, and the matter with Chen Tianren has not yet been resolved.
"How long has the fairy been away? For what purpose?" Lin Bai asked again.
"I've been gone for more than a year." Xiu Xiu shook her head, "As for what happened, the fairy didn't tell me in detail." At this point, Xiu Xiu didn't forget to add, "The fairy always treats me as a child." She seemed to be resentful and poked the sleeping mole with her finger. When the mole woke up, it began to chirp again. Xiuxiu had no choice but to take out dried fruits to comfort him.
"Yes, you are not young anymore." Pei Ning clapped her hands and praised, "We already know the personnel, and they are still in bud."
Hearing this, Xiu Xiu glanced at Lin Bai secretly, blushed again, and lowered her head to tease the mole.
Lin Bai had a headache. Although he wanted to see Xiuxiu this time, he still had many things to ask the fox.
Such as the origin of the black knife, the origin of Lu Qingyin, the old stories between Xiang Wuhui and Yue Fengshu, and how to play with gourds.
It's okay if the fox is not at home, but Sister Pei clearly liked Xiu Xiu before, but now that Xiu Xiu has grown up, she starts to bully her in the blink of an eye. Lin Bai couldn't afford to offend either side, so he quickly made some nonsense and asked Xiuxiu to guide him again.
Xiuxiu was happy. She picked a lot of fruits and introduced many wild beast friends to Lin Pei.
After two days of tossing around, I finally took a tour of the area.
Then the three of them sat around and talked about their practice experiences.
Pei Ning is a sword cultivator, and she practices the art of group swords through self-competition and self-discipline, so she doesn't like what Xiu Xiu said.
Xiuxiu practices the Yin and Yang of numerology. Because of this, she has also studied the formation of battles, but not in depth.
She talked endlessly, just like the talkative person she used to be when she was a child, and she talked about everything. Sometimes she talked about the customs and customs of various places, sometimes about taming spiritual beasts, and even various kinds of spiritual grasses and spiritual plants.
But when Peining asked her how to fight, Xiuxiu said something about being careful and being safe if you don't go out, which made Peining full of laughter.
Lin Bai was afraid that they would quarrel, so he immediately told what he had learned.
All in all, Lin Bai was the most experienced among the three. Whether it is various skills, fighting enemies in battle, or serving elders, they all have great experience.
However, Lin Bai only talked about some insights on spiritual practice, but didn't talk much about how to coax Aunt Gu and tease the fox.
The three of them talked about Taoism for two days, and then practiced separately.
Lin Bai now has seven levels of foundation building and has entered the advanced stage. Since I started to modify the Art of Creation, I put aside all other skills and just tempered my body while practicing, but I have made rapid progress.
This place is rich in aura and is an excellent place to practice.
Moreover, there are also five elements of spiritual energy surrounding the blessed land, so body tempering is naturally extremely convenient.
After practicing quietly for a month, you will make further progress in your cultivation.
Lin Bai estimated that the message passed to Jiang Yatou had already been delivered, and the girl might have come over, so he set off to look for it.
"I just want to take some time to relax." Xiuxiu coyly didn't dare to look at Peining's face.
"Don't be tired." Peining glanced at Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu's face was slightly red, but she was very serious, "I'm just accompanying him to meet a few friends, so I'm not too tired."
"I'm talking about him." Peining said.
Xiuxiu turned her head slightly to look at Lin Bai, as if she was thinking about something, but her face turned redder.
"It concerns the Qiaoshan Sect. You two will stay here. If everything is safe, we can go again next time." Lin Bai was serious, but he frightened Xiuxiu.
After taking the token, I went to the pavilion and opened the teleportation array.
Since he has already mastered the escape method, the discomfort during the teleportation is not a big deal. Lin Bai also asked Xiuxiu about how to set up the teleportation circle, but this girl was not very knowledgeable and had not yet learned the true transmission of the fox.
The light flashed, and with a slight trance, Lin Bai came to the bottom of the small deep pool again.
According to Xiuxiu, Longmenfang is nearly two thousand miles away from the Taolin Paradise where Fox meditates. But being so far away and arriving in the blink of an eye, the teleportation formation is indeed a superior formation.
"The same is true for escape. When will I be able to move a thousand miles or even ten thousand miles in one step?"
Lin Bai rested quietly for a while before jumping out of the deep pool.
I picked a peach blossom and put it on my head, then set off.
Take the road through the valley and go to the agreed place without stopping.
As soon as we arrived at the place, we saw the big tree where we used to drink. Looking around, formations have been arranged, including early warning formations and phantom formations.
It's just that Lin Bai studied the formation carefully, as if he was in a deserted place.
After walking for more than ten steps, I saw two people sitting cross-legged where the three of them had been drinking, as if discussing Taoism.
One person was wearing black clothes, with black hair tied up, and his eyes were dark and bright.
The other person is also dressed in black, but is extraordinarily broad, wearing a lotus crown and holding a fly whisk in his arms.
They both look to be in their teens, one is smart and cute, the other is well-behaved, like sisters.
It was Jiang Xiaobai and Miaomiao.
"Speaking of which, your master was also lucky. He went into the mountains alone to find an opportunity to build a foundation. He happened to meet me in a crisis and saved his life." Jiang Xiaobai sighed, as if in memory.
"Senior's kindness is not over yet!" Miaomiao said immediately.
"Now that you have established your foundation, you are worthy of sisters Xiao Yu'er, but you don't have to call me elder all the time." Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Sister!" Miao Miao said sweetly.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction, "Although you are a few years younger than Xiao Yu'er, you are the last to arrive first and build the foundation first. You joined Lin Zhuanlun's sect early, and you are a senior sister. You must take good care of Xiao Yu'er in the future. , don’t let anyone bully her.”
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely treat my junior sister as my own sister!" Miaomiao will never say the wrong thing.
The two chatted for a while, and then talked about their trip to the mountain. Jiang Xiaobai taught many ways to deal with casual cultivators and monsters. Miao Miao listened very carefully and always praised Jiang Xiaobai for his knowledge.
"Master! I miss you so much!" When Miaomiao saw Lin Bai approaching, her eyes immediately turned red, and she rushed forward and hugged Lin Bai's arm, as if she had experienced many separations.
She's always up to something.
Jiang Xiaobai stood up, nodded slightly to Lin Bai, and said no more.
Although this girl has many tricks and a lot of energy, she only shows her true form in the black tower. She always looks well-behaved and kind outside.
After exchanging a few words, I found out that the two girls had just arrived two days ago. After hurriedly setting up the formation, they stopped to rest.
"Is your ancestor back?" When that little world collapsed, Lin Bai saw Jiang Xingchi's figure, as if he had gotten the opportunity, but he didn't know what happened now.
"I'm back." Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly.
Lin Bai felt relieved, looked at Miaomiao again, and asked with a smile: "How to build the foundation, please tell me in detail."
Miaomiao was Lin Bai's first apprentice, and she was the daughter of an old friend. Therefore, he always regarded her as his own daughter, so Lin Bai was very concerned about her.
"Master! Don't talk about this in a hurry! You guys have serious business!" Miaomiao was very reasonable. "Although there is a formation here, it is leaking from all directions and it is not a place for discussion!" She pointed to the cave door, "It is better to go to the cave to discuss. , I’ve cleaned it up!”
Miaomiao patted her chest, "I'm guarding the door outside! Don't let anyone disturb the purity!"
Lin and Jiang glanced at Miaomiao, then looked at each other, and then nodded.
After entering the cave and closing the door, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and sighed, "When will I have such a considerate apprentice?"
"Did she get into trouble while building the foundation?" Lin Bai saw something was wrong.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and nodded.
