Ebony Qian is inherently gentle and polite, regardless of whether he is pretending or not, he is really kind anyway.
He first met the Yang Huan siblings, and then, accompanied by Lin Bai, went to meet Gu Jiuzhong.
Anyway, everyone was polite and entertained me with good wine and tea, as if Qiaoshan had a good relationship with Shoten Pavilion.
Lin Bai estimated that Wu Muqian took advantage of Yinwu Mountain to go south to Mengshan He, and he must have received the master's order, and he probably knew that it would be difficult to negotiate, so he came to see the south wind direction and get a feel for the Yuanying's thoughts.
One day later, Meng Shanhe and Jiang Xingchi had no idea what they were talking about, and there was no clue what they were talking about. After saying goodbye, they took the people from Shoutian Pavilion and continued southward.
Lin Bai stayed with the guest for a day, and finally got some free time, so he hurried back to Chunhui Hall.
The two apprentices are already waiting.
The matter of the believers is imminent!
Lin Bai sat down, Miao Miao served tea, and Jiang Yu fanned. Just as he was about to lecture, someone came to visit.
Cheng Yuanli came with Jing Situi and Min Hengbo.
After seeing the ceremony, the four of them sat down, and Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were attentive in serving tea and water.
"Junior brother, are you teaching?" Jing Si retreated and saw Miaomiao and Jiang Yu looking honest, and couldn't help asking with a smile.
"Alas." Lin Bai sighed and brushed off the tea cup. Miaomiao quickly took out the wine glass and poured good wine. She was really attentive.
"The apprentice is useless and made a fool of himself in public. I feel uncomfortable." Lin Bai said.
"Junior brother, don't worry. It's just a matter of victory or defeat. I think the two nephews are doing very well." Jing Sixui said with a smile.
"It's hard to become a great person. They have been with me since they were young, but they have neglected discipline and indulged too much. If it weren't for their strong recommendations, I would have kicked them out." Lin Bai sighed and drank.
"We don't distinguish ourselves by fighting. Junior brother is good at alchemy, formations, and fighting skills. How can two junior nephews learn everything?" Cheng Yuanli was a kind man, and he excused Miaomiao and Jiang Yu with a smile.
Jing Situi looked at Miaomiao and Jiang Yu again and asked, "Is there any benefit from this discussion with colleagues from outside the region?"
Miaomiao immediately straightened her back and said: "Returning to the seniors is quite beneficial."
"Isn't that enough? Victory and defeat are common for military strategists." Jing Si withdrew his praise and asked again: "Do you know your own shortcomings?"
"I know." Miaomiao and Jiang Yu replied respectfully.
"Good." Jing Sihui calmly guided, "Then what did you learn?"
"I've learned that a hard fist is the last word." Miao Miao replied.
"That's right!" Min Hengbo praised.
Cheng Yuanli shook his head when he heard this, not knowing what to say.
"The competition on the field is not about individual cultivators working hard. It is good to defeat ten guilds with one strength, but everyone is at the same level, so hard work also requires wisdom." Jing Situi made a point and asked: "Have you made preparations before the competition? ”
"We have discussed it."
Miaomiao was very well-behaved and looked like an honest person. She said: "My junior sister, Gu Wushang and I had already figured out beforehand that the other party was bound to win and was stronger than the three of us."
"Then how did you do it?" Jing Situi asked again.
"Master once said that Yunxia Sect Bagua Shan Qu Ruyi raised many moles. He was the best at betting on rats. No one could beat him, and the world suffered greatly from it. Qu Ruyi repeatedly invited his master's wife to fight rats, and they all came back victorious. She was so arrogant that she later asked her master for advice. The master saw that the two moles were not very different from each other and were divided into upper, middle and lower grades, so he asked his wife to face the lower rat against the upper rat, and the upper rat against the middle rat. The middle rat versus the lower rat. The master's wife won two and lost one. Naqu Ruyi walked away in shame and never dared to talk about betting on the rat again. "
Miao Miao quoted from the scriptures and then said: "The same is true for this competition. I am the upper rat against the other side's middle rat, my junior sister is the middle rat against that other side's lower rat, and Gu Wushang is the lower rat against that other side's upper rat."
After saying this, the four golden elixirs were all a little stunned. Gu Wushang, the lower rat, won, but you two, one of the upper rat and the other of the middle rat, lost?
"My nephew...is very knowledgeable in strategy." Jing Si retreated and thought for a while, and finally found the words to praise him.
"Junior brother teaches in a fun way, and the two nephews draw inferences from one another. It's very good." Cheng Yuanli also praised it.
Min Hengbo was a little confused and said: "I see that although my junior sister is cold, she is very good to Qu Ruyi. How can they have a dispute? Don't make it up..."
Seeing that his apprentice was praised, Lin Bai felt a little relieved, and said seriously: "What you did is naturally good, but your vision is a bit wrong!"
As he spoke, Lin Bai tapped Miaomiao and Xiao Yu'er's foreheads one by one, "You two are the middle rat and the lower rat. Gu Wushang is not good at fighting and can still win, he is the upper rat!"
After training the people, Lin Bai thought of something again and said: "Go and play with Gu Lianzhu! He is the most durable, you two can practice with him!"
"Yes!" Seeing that the matter was over, the two apprentices quickly bowed and ran away.
Lin Bai poured the wine, looked at Jing Sixui, and asked: "Senior Meng went to Jiuzhe Mountain, what does Brother Jing think?"
"I can't make the decision, so I'm too lazy to watch." Jing Si retreated and said with a smile.
"Do you really want to fight?" Min Hengbo looked at Jing Sihui.
"Senior Yan has already taken action, can we still turn back?" Jing Si Tui smiled bitterly, "We'll just see what Senior Meng has to say about this trip. Master... Master, cooking at Jiuzhe Mountain is already difficult, but now..." He He shook his head and said no more.
When Min Hengbo heard this, he shook his head in disdain and said: "Senior Meng of Yinbishan is an old member of Zhou Huishan who was kicked out by Shoutian Pavilion, but he still works for Shoutian Pavilion. It's really..."
After all, she took Yuanying's face into consideration and didn't say bad words.
"There must be a reason." Jing Situi reached out to pour wine for the three of them, and then said: "Shoutian Pavilion is Qu Ruyi, and no one can stop it. I just don't know who is the upper rat and who is the lower rat."
"When we are in the torrent, both the upper and lower rats have to float with the tide. We are not even rats. I just hope that the rat gamblers on the dry shore can end it quickly." Lin Bai said with a smile.
As soon as this was said, no one was speechless.
After drinking for a long time, they no longer talked about the Shoutian Pavilion or inquired about Lin Bai's stolen treasure. They only talked about geographical customs and anecdotes.
When night fell and everyone was exhausted, Jing Si retreated and stood up to say goodbye.
"Senior Jiang still has something to contact me, so I will send you some wine for the time being and drink it later." Jing Situi smiled and took out a letter and said, "Junior sister Bi is meditating in the mountains and is not allowed to go out for a while. Please ask me to forward this letter. ”
"Senior brother is interested." Lin Bai took it.
Min Hengbo looked on, sneered twice, and said: "Junior sister, I want you to go to Daoyin Sect when you have time."
Lin Bai quickly thanked Min Hengbo for spreading the news.
After Jing Situi and Min Hengbo left, Cheng Yuanli grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve again.
He knew that his previous return was due to Lin Bai's kindness, but he was an honest and honest gentleman, and Jiang Yu could not speak out.
After everyone left, Lin Bai opened Bi Huanqiu's letter and read it.
He didn't say anything major, he just said that he was locked up in Jiuzhe Mountain and was not allowed to go out, and asked Lin Bai how he was, without mentioning anything about the affair.
After thinking for a while, Lin Bai went to Shuiliandong to find Aunt Gu.
"Ancestor is out." Gu Yao stood guard outside the Water Curtain Cave.
"Where are you going?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Gu Yao spread her hands and tilted her head, "Also, people outside say that you are the face of the ancestor, you..."
As she spoke, Gu Yao looked at Lin Bai very seriously, looking up and down several times. "..." Lin Bai had a headache, "I regard my ancestors as my closest relatives and elders! As a member of the Gu family, how can you become a tongue-tied woman if you don't seek spiritual practice?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. It's not because your reputation is not good..." Gu Yao quickly comforted her, "By the way, you've been back for so long, why didn't you go to Feixue?"
Just because you doubted your ancestor's innocence, you asked me to go find Gu Feixue again?
How can Gu Feixue be as good as your ancestor? Lin Bai felt a headache and asked: "Where is the fairy? Where is Xiuxiu?"
"The fairy has gone home." Gu Yao came forward, stared into Lin Bai's eyes, and said, "The fairy said she needs to recuperate, no one can disturb her!"
At this point, she added, "Xiuxiu and Huang Ruhua also went back. I see there's no one around you, Feixue..."
"Going back to sleep in Longshan to recuperate?" Lin Bai didn't expect the fox to be so heartless. They had lived life and death together and left without saying a word.
"That's right." Gu Yao whispered: "There are rumors that the fairy stole the Tribulation Secret Treasure in Shouting Pavilion. I don't know how many people are watching now. She doesn't dare to stay for a long time."
"It must be the people from Shouting Pavilion who spread the news. This means that the fairy will never have peace again!" Lin Bai was very angry, and couldn't help but think of the fairy's face of a real wife with a beautiful country, a peaceful country and a peaceful people.
"Is that true or false?" Gu Yao asked curiously.
"It must not be true." Lin Bai said.
After a few words, Lin Bai was about to leave, but was pulled back by Gu Yao.
"Your disciple was beaten, and you let them bully Lianzhu? You don't teach disciples like this, right? Lianzhu was bullied by them when he was a child, and he was bullied by them when he grew up. Isn't that all his growth was in vain?" Gu Yao was very worried. Angry.
Only you can beat Gu Lianzhu, but my apprentice can’t?
"..." Lin Bai was aggrieved, but still acted as if he didn't know about this, and said angrily: "Is this happening? I'll teach them a lesson!"
After leaving here, Lin Bai turned a corner and went to Sister Huanhuan's cave.
"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind."
After Sister Huanhuan formed the elixir, she felt better and was soothed, and the exhaustion of fleeing thousands of miles was gone.
Lin Bai and Sister Huanhuan had already met before when Wu Muqian and others came, but they couldn't reunite. Now that they had time, they came over to have a good time.
Perhaps knowing that Lin Bai had taken a big risk outside, Yang Huan became even more tender-hearted, got drunk before drinking, and kept pestering her.
The two whispered a lot, and then got down to business.
"The treasure house has been inspected at home, and it seems that we are already preparing for war." After Yang Huan turned out to be Nascent Soul, he actually realized it.
After the two were noisy for a day, Lin Bai returned to Chunhui Hall, where Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were already waiting.
Just as he was about to take his two apprentices to Fengming Mountain, Cheng Shuang came to the door.
"Ancestor entrusted me with your journey to the north for printing, but there are big problems with what you wrote." Cheng Shuang shook his head.
"What's the problem?" Lin Bai asked.
"Your journey to the north is too complicated, covering only the geographical specialties and cultural scenery. It's okay to comment on the pros and cons of each sect in turn. Why do you also write about the customs of female cultivators of each sect?"
Cheng Shuang looked like he had a headache, "I see that you can't stand the behavior of the old people who returned to the mountain last week, and you can't stand the domineering behavior of Shouting Pavilion."
"..." Lin Bai also had a headache. After thinking for a while, he pulled Miaomiao and Jiang Yu over and said, "You two go help me and make corrections before printing. The affair of Fengyue must be wiped out, and Shouting Pavilion's arrogant behavior needs to be punished." In the special book, the richness of the old land of Zhouhui Mountain must also be written again.”
"I'm the best at this!" Miaomiao was very motivated when she heard about the job. "Let's go, let's go!" She immediately patted her butt and left.
"Master, my sister said she wanted to ask you for advice." Jiang Yu didn't leave, with his head lowered and his face slightly red, obviously not believing what her sister said.
"Your sister is very determined to seek the truth. You should learn from it." Lin Bai gave a lesson and said, "I will go to Fengming Mountain first and then look for your sister."
"It's actually good to have a younger sister at home!" Cheng Shuang muttered from the side.
Lin Bai glared at her, drove away the three women, and went to Fengming Mountain again.
Zhu Yushu and his wife came out, chatted for a few words, and then came to Zhu Jianyang's residence.
Zhu Jianyang drove Zhu Yushu out and sat down opposite Lin Bai.
"The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and the war is about to break out again." Zhu Jianyang poured tea for Lin Bai.
The two chatted for a day, talked about the chaos in the north, and discussed spiritual matters. Then Lin Bai opened a sermon in Fengming Mountain and met several children sent by Yao Qianyuan to give a few words of advice. .
Leaving Fengming Mountain, Lin Bai went to the Jiang family's Yuhu.
After Jiang Xingchi gave birth to a baby, he no longer took charge of the Jiang family and moved to Qiaoshan.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't leave his hometown, so he went to serve Jiang Xingchi for a few days to show off, and then returned to the black tower.
After tasting the delicacy of the twigs and the fruit, Lin Bai wanted to say something serious, but she kept asking for it.
After trying various moves, Jiang Xiaobai curiously asked: "You have always messed with women. Whose female cultivator did you offend when you went north?"
"I'm working with your ancestor for Qiaoshan. Do you think I'm just going for fun?" Lin Bai immediately frowned and sighed, "It's so dangerous that I almost can't come back!"
"Okay, okay, I know you have suffered outside." Jiang Xiaobai was much gentler. He leaned forward and served her attentively.
For a moment, Lin Bai felt a little uncomfortable.
Sure enough, Jiang Xiaobai hummed and waited for a few times, then raised his penis and pressed it against Lin Bai, "I heard that you and Patriarch Gu... is it true?"
When I went north, rumors were spread that a mere casual cultivator was favored by Yuanying Ancestor because he was carrying a rare treasure. Now this rumor has come to Qiaoshan!
"Don't talk nonsense. Yuanying Ancestor is not something you and I can discuss? Besides, this is pouring dirty water on the ancestor!" Lin Bai spoke righteously.
"Look at how scared you are..." Jiang Xiaobai muttered, "I believe you are innocent, but I don't believe you don't have the guts."
She had the deepest friendship with Lin Bai and knew everything about him. Seeing that Gu Qingshui became excited at the mention of Gu Qingshui, she guessed what Lin Bai was thinking.
"Senior Gu likes to wear water blue palace clothes, I will try it next time." Jiang Xiaobai said.
After the commotion, the two of them finally took a break and talked about business.
"In the past year, my family's various shops have stopped selling to outsiders. We have been accumulating elixirs and magical artifacts day and night, and also purchased them from outside. Now the warehouse is already full." Jiang Xiaobai also knew that a fight was about to begin.
The Northern Expedition to Shouting Pavilion has become very popular. The heads of various sects and families in Qiaoshan came and went to Qiaoshan to inquire about news.
Some people gave away good seeds at home overnight, intending to retain their strength; some people collected all kinds of materials, intending to make a fortune, but found that they could no longer find the goods.
All the goods were bought in advance by well-informed people like the Jiang family.
With the feeling of fruitful results, Lin Bai returned to Chunhui Hall, where Gu Wushang was already waiting.
"Senior, my ancestor asked you to go there." Gu Wushang saluted.
This is about to arrange a war! Lin Bai didn't want to fight, but at this point, he couldn't help himself at all. (End of chapter)
