Chapter 299 Arrangement
The three women came forward in a polite manner and saluted Lin Bai.
The three of them are about the same age, and they all established their foundation early. They all clearly look like girls.
Especially Miaomiao, she stood in the middle, wearing a black robe, slightly shorter than the other two women, looking innocent.
On the left is Jiang Yu. She is the tallest and wears a green robe around her waist. She looks like a young gentleman.
Dugu Jing looks most like a cultivator. She wears a lotus crown on her head, but there is a little rouge between her eyebrows. When I see her, I can't help but think of Qu Chengjia...
"Why are my eyebrows so red when I come to Qiaoshan?" Lin Bai was very curious, "Is this popular in Qiaoshan recently?"
"It's Sister Huang. Before she returned to Mianlong Mountain, she lit red for me and said it would be safe." Dugu Jing said honestly.
"It was Qu Ruyi's idea!" Miaomiao smiled and brushed it off to Dugu Jing, saying: "Qu Chengjia from the Yunxia Sect loves to have her eyebrows reddened. Don't imitate her."
Lin Bai's face darkened. Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua were really villains. They actually thought I had ill intentions towards Dugu Jing?
Dugu Jing didn't know the grudge between Lin Bai and Qu Chengjia, so he could only listen to Miaomiao's words.
"What have you been doing these past few days?" Among the three women, Dugu Jing was the only outsider, so Lin Bai asked her.
"Sir, my two senior sisters took me to visit Fengming Mountain and go fishing in Yuhu Lake. I made many friends." Dugu Jing answered in a straight tone.
After a few more words, Miaomiao finally got down to business.
There was no way to shirk the Jindan Taoist Association, and Lin Bai also wanted to move around, so it didn't embarrass Miao Miao.
This girl had many ideas. The first house she chose was not hers, and the last house she chose was not hers, and I don’t know if she collected money again.
Debts that should be repaid cannot be avoided no matter what.
Anyway, favors have to be moved, so I just wiped the butts of the two apprentices.
"I'll go to your house and Xiao Yu'er's house first, and then you can make whatever arrangements you like." Lin Bai glared at Miaomiao.
Miaomiao didn't dare to refute, so she agreed obediently.
Let the three women make their own arrangements, while Lin Bai continued to meditate.
Now that there is nothing going on at Qiaoshan, and there is harmony inside and outside, it is the time to practice diligently.
Cultivation is the foundation of one's life and requires diligence. The method of Hunyuan Body Tempering is the basis for traveling at home and cannot be left behind. Skills such as Alchemy and Formation are not trivial and should be improved.
In addition, one has to refine the natal magic weapon, otherwise the means will always be lacking.
There are more chores, including teaching disciples, coaxing Aunt Gu, and dealing with several Taoist companions.
After thinking for a while, Lin Bai realized that he should not be in a hurry, but should be methodical.
The realm of cultivation is naturally the most important, followed by the method of Hunyuan body tempering, and techniques such as alchemy are also secondary.
Of course, the matter of natal magic weapon cannot be rushed.
After thinking for a while, another guest came, and it was Gai Yingqiu.
Lin Bai and Gai Yingqiu met very early, and their relationship was not bad, even quite good.
At that time, Gai Yingqiu was passionately in love with Yang Shu, and Yang Shu was infatuated with Gu Feixue. Lin Bai watched the excitement for a long time, and got a lot of benefits from him.
However, all the hard work paid off, and Gai Yingqiu finally got her wish and married into the Yang family.
Looking back now, Lin Bai really didn't think Yang Shu was good at all.
Gai Yingqiu entered the courtyard and saluted. Lin Bai glanced outside the courtyard and waved her sleeves to lift her up.
"We have known each other since we were young, so why should we be polite?" Lin Bai said with a smile.
"After all, we are senior Jindan, so etiquette cannot be discarded." Gai Yingqiu was as gentle as ever.
"I remember that Yang Shu built the eighth level of the foundation, but it was always difficult to go further. Can you find a way?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"Alas." Gai Yingqiu sighed after hearing this, and said helplessly: "He wanted to go out for a walk. I wanted to go with him, but he refused, saying that he wanted to be alone."
Speaking of this, Gai Yingqiu became even more sad and aggrieved, "He used to go fishing all day long and disappeared for a month or two. I didn't let him go fishing, and he didn't listen. Now he has to go away again..."
I usually see you two being very affectionate, but I didn’t expect that there would be such a mess inside?
Lin Bai held back his laughter and said, "As monks, we can just do whatever we want. Why force it?"
After hearing this, Gai Yingqiu said: "He has many fishing friends, from all sects. Your apprentice Jiang Yu is also his fishing friend. When you were away, they competed in Jiangjia Yuhu Lake and did not move for a month. Place. Ginger Fish is more addictive than him.”
"This..." Lin Bai was stunned. He thought Jiang Yu was an honest boy, but he didn't expect that he had such a hobby.
But think about it, ginger fish is born to be a fish in the water. It loved fishing when it was a child. Now that it has grown up, it is even better. This makes sense.
Lin Bai thought this was not bad, at least it was not like Miaomiao who always went out to cause trouble.
"Senior, if you have some free time, you might as well help persuade him to do more serious things." Gai Yingqiu sighed endlessly.
Who can persuade this? It's not murder and arson, so why bother? However, Lin Bai nodded slightly and tried to fool him first.
Perhaps when talking about Yang Shu, Gai Yingqiu seemed to have forgotten about business and actually brought up household matters. At one time, she said that Yang Shu was not doing her job properly, at another time, she said that it was hard for her to run the household, and at another time, she said that it was difficult for her to be pregnant...
Lin Bai felt dizzy after hearing this, and only felt that he had personal troubles.
After a while, Gai Yingqiu saw Lin Bai cough twice and finally remembered the business and said: "Yao Qianyuan wanted to see you and asked me to see you. Do you want to see me?"
When he first arrived at Xinyi Square, Pei Ning became a member of the Tianchi sect, while Lin Bai made a living outside. The two of them received a lot of care from Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu, and their relationship was good.
It's just that time flies, and the two people who used to have a lot of hatred are now very different. Gai Yingqiu entered the foundation-building realm and married into the Yang family of Yuanying; but Yao Qianyuan didn't have much ambition and had not yet entered the foundation-building realm.
Moreover, something happened to the Tianchi Sect. In the past, the two girls could rely on the Jindan Patriarch behind them, but then Liu Tianhe, the leader of the Tianchi Sect, died outside. Yao Wanshan, the ancestor of the Yao family, disappeared without a trace. Gai Chengfei did nothing and actually became a Became the leader.
The Yao family must have had a hard time without their support.
Lin Bai was nostalgic, and originally planned to visit Yao Qianyuan when he went to Tianchi Sect to preach, but he didn't expect that someone would come to visit him.
When an old friend asks to see you, there is no reason why he should not see you.
Soon, Yao Qianyuan, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, entered and respectfully stepped forward to kneel down.
It is normal for a qi training monk to kneel down when meeting a golden elixir monk.
Just as she was about to kneel down, she felt a breeze lifting her up.
"Why be so polite?" Lin Bai said with a smile.
Yao Qianyuan's eyes turned red immediately when she saw that Lin Bai had not forgotten her old love. She was no longer as young as before, and the elixirs that could restore her appearance could not withstand the passage of time. Moreover, his cultivation was not good, and his complexion was also much worse.
"Senior Zhuan Lun has not changed his temperament, and he has not forgotten the old friendship. You don't need to be polite." Gai Yingqiu is now far superior to Yao Qianyuan in terms of status and cultivation, and he no longer regards her as his enemy.
Moreover, without Yao Wanshan in charge, the Yao family is already less powerful than before.
"Yes." Yao Qianyuan lowered his head.
"Pei Ning is meditating in the Daoyin Sect. Before I came back, she didn't tell me anything else. She just said to remember our friendship with you."
Lin Bai looked at Yao Qianyuan and said with a smile: "She said that if you are in trouble, let me give you a little help." Sister Pei did talk about Yao Qianyuan, but the so-called words of kindness were just to help move around. Lin Bai never lacked The elixir was offered as an offering. Moreover, Pei Ning almost died at the hands of the Yao family when she was building the foundation, but her sisterly love with Yao Qianyuan was also real.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning are one, so Pei Ning's affairs are naturally Lin Bai's affairs.
Yao Qianyuan was even more moved when she heard this, "She has always been cold on the outside and hot on the inside..."
Having said this, Yao Qianyuan bowed and said: "Senior, please help my family."
"What happened to your family?" Lin Bai knew in his heart that it was a family matter. Yao Wanshan was missing. The Yao family had no golden elixir to support them, so it was inevitable that they would lose power.
Yao Qianyuan immediately talked about the changes in her family.
Sure enough, as Lin Bai had guessed, the Yao family's treatment in the Tianchi Sect had dropped a lot, and they were often ostracized, which was a huge gap from when Yao Wanshan was there.
Lin Bai looked at Gai Yingqiu and asked Gai Chengfei if he was causing trouble.
Gai Yingqiu shook her head slightly.
Lin Bai believed him because Gai Chengfei was a swordsman and a good drinker. He never liked to meddle in public affairs, and he was also on good terms with Gao Yuanyuan.
Therefore, even if Lin Bai had not had a close relationship with Gai Chengfei, he still had a general understanding of his character.
Of course, even if Gai Chengfei was really doing evil behind the scenes, Lin Bai couldn't control it. Gai Chengfei is now the head of the Tianchi Sect, and Lin Bai has no control over him.
"What do you want?" Lin Bai asked Yao Qianyuan.
"I just want to restore the old treatment." Yao Qianyu bowed again.
"You don't have a golden elixir in your home, so how can it be compared to the past?"
Lin Bai looked at Yao Qianyuan and spoke bluntly, saying: "Strife within the family is a common thing and is inevitable everywhere. The only way out is self-improvement."
After hearing this, Yao Qianyuan trembled, raised his head slightly, and looked at Lin Bai pitifully.
Lin Bai was really nostalgic. He couldn't help but think of the old things between the two of them. His heart finally softened and he said: "Senior Brother Gai is in charge of the Tianchi Sect. I have no friendship with him. Besides, I have no reason to take care of it as an outsider. You go home and pick two." If you have good qualifications, send them to Fengming Mountain and I will teach them in my spare time.”
After all, Yao Qianyuan had been involved in the business world. He knew that this was a support within his ability, which was considered benevolent. He did not dare to ask for more, so he immediately bowed and thanked him.
"Is Pei Ning okay?" Yao Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
"Everything is fine." Lin Bai smiled and said, "You should also go to Daoyin Sect when you have time. She is not someone who forgets her roots and forgets her past. She is just cold-tempered and doesn't like to socialize."
"Yes." Yao Qianyuan finally smiled.
After a few more words, the two women left.
"The road is ruthless. If you want to reach the top, there will always be people who fall behind. Today it is Yao Qianyuan, who will it be tomorrow?"
Lin Bai sighed, closed his eyes and meditated.
Two days later, Miaomiao and others came to invite them again.
Lin Bai gathered his mood and went to Fengming Mountain first, and then to Jiang's house.
As time went by in Qiaoshan, I saw more and more people and experienced more and more things. Not only the Zhu Jiang family, who had the deepest relationship with Lin Bai, but also the Chunyu family and the Tian family had a close relationship.
Other families and sects also have people they know. In the past, monks who had advanced golden elixirs were not as busy as Lin Bai, which shows that Miaomiao really sold out the master.
Everyone spent money, so Lin Bai couldn't be too perfunctory. This person talked about the method of alchemy, and that person talked about the wonders of the formation. One day, he would have to debate the alchemy theory. Larger sects and families also need to talk about their experiences abroad, humanistic customs, care and concern, etc.
When someone asks a question, you have to answer it for fear of being dissatisfied.
After being busy for more than a month, Lin Bai finally gained some knowledge, and the Taoist meeting didn't make false claims. It was all serious insights, and it was considered that the Taoist meeting was deceived.
Moreover, because Lin Bai answered every question, spoke with substance, had no pretensions, and was courteous to others, everyone in Qiaoshan praised Lin Bai as a gentle gentleman and a virtuous person.
Even the Jindan monks from various sects and families in Qiaoshan were interested in making friends, and secretly and openly inquired whether Lin Bai still wanted to accept a disciple.
After finishing all the Taoist affairs, Lin Bai finally had some free time and summoned the three girls to Chunhui Hall, intending to arrange things for them to avoid annoying people.
"Master, the female cultivator from the Shang family is looking for me again!" Miaomiao rushed forward excitedly, pinching Lin Bai's shoulders while speaking plausibly, "I heard that she has a different physique, which is conducive to dual cultivation."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head and leaned close to Lin Bai's ear, and said with a smile: "You are also very beautiful! Master, I have slept with you, tusk tusk tusk... you are so soft and natural, you are a beauty in the world!"
The merchant used to rely on the Cheng family. Later, the ancestor of the Cheng family died. Although there was still a head of general affairs to support him, it was different after all. Therefore, he came to make friends with Lin Bai, the new favorite of the ancestor Gu.
"Do you know what a beauty is?" Lin Bai glared at her, "If you refuse, just say I'm not a womanizer."
"That's what I said. I have rejected it on behalf of Master!" Miaomiao changed her words again.
Lin Bai couldn't do anything about Miaomiao. This girl's mind was too lively. Apart from practicing, she just wandered around all day long. She actually had acquaintances from various sects.
And he is not as pure as Xiao Yu'er, nor is he fond of formations as much as Dugu Jing. Anyway, I don’t have any hobbies, so I just catch whatever I can.
Just like the Taoist meeting, she was actually not in need of spiritual stones, but just free.
"Did you get a letter from Xiao Huang?" Lin Bai asked again.
Since Huang Ruhua knew that the fox was not at home a while ago, she quickly went back to Longshan to sleep, and Miao Miao and the other two people even went to see him off.
"She said that Fairy Shen Yu was indeed not at home. The young lady was originally going to come to Qiaoshan, but she persuaded her to stop her," Miaomiao said.
Since he wasn't at home, he might have gone to the north with Sister Zhen to have fun.
Lin Bai thought, if the fox is not at home, then Xiuxiu...
"Master, how about I lure Xiao Huang away so that you can reunite with my little mistress!" Miaomiao patted her little chest, very confident, "Even if it is that big insect, we can think of ways to lure it away."
This apprentice is bad in every way, but his filial piety to his master is extremely sincere!
"Xiuxiu is in retreat, please don't cause trouble." Lin Bai glared at her, but his heart moved.
I haven’t seen Xiuxiu for a long time, and I want to chat with her.
Dugu Jing remained silent. She already knew about Xiu Xiu and was not surprised at this time.
"Okay, everything is settled." Lin Bai didn't want to talk to the three little girls any more, and directly gave the order, "Miaomiao returned to Fengming Mountain for meditation, and also served as a teacher in the clan. In addition, Tianchi sent the Yao family to send You should also take good care of the two who are gone. If you don’t want them to become talents, at least you can’t teach them bad character.”
"Master, you still can't trust my character? I will definitely train you well!" Miaomiao patted her chest and was not ashamed of her words.
Lin Bai glared at her, then looked at Jiang Yu and said, "You should also go back to Yuhu to meditate. If you have any doubts, come find me again."
"Yes." Jiang Yu saluted politely.
Lin Bai liked Jiang Yu's honesty very much, smiled and encouraged him, looked at Dugu Jing again, and arranged: "You come from the Dao Yin Sect to make friends after all, so just stay with me first."
Hearing this, Dugu Jing smiled happily and immediately leaned over to answer.
Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looked at each other, meaningfully.
Make arrangements and go back to your respective homes.
