The Wheel-Turning Master

Following the direction pointed by Li Huozi, the two entered the mountain along the mountain path.

By the afternoon, there was no more road. There is no autumn feeling in the mountains, everything is lush green, tall trees and bushes.

Wait until night falls and light the fire.

"Here." Lin Bai broke off half of the cake and handed it over, saying, "I remember you said that there are three overseas immortal masters coming to the Qingyang Sect this time, and Master Qi is only one of them. Where are the other two?"

"I don't know." Peining shook his head. "A message was sent from the mountain gate saying that he was missing. According to past practice, he should have gone to the world to enjoy himself."

"..." Lin Bai felt more and more that these overseas immortal masters were not valued and could only dominate here.

The two chatted for a long time and made careful plans. Lin Bai stayed up half the night and Pei Ning stayed up the rest of the night.

The next day, the two men no longer hurried on the road, but took up Qinggong and headed deep into the mountains one after the other.

The two of them were not good men and women, and they had caught a lot of wolves in their stomachs, but they didn't find anything unusual.

On the fifth day, the two of them planned to return if there were no more clues, but soon discovered a strange place.

The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant here, and it is full of vitality, unlike the gloomy atmosphere of the mountains and forests elsewhere.

Lin Bai didn't know how to describe it, he just felt very comfortable here.

One word comes to mind: Cave Heaven and Paradise.

"Here..." Lin Bai looked at Peining, who was also looking at him.

After making eye contact, they each straightened their clothes, and Lin Bai specially touched the black hairpin.

"The Immortal Master should be here! Let's go and take a look!" Pei Ning looked excited.

Lin Bai also looked happy and said: "We have gone through so much trouble to find it. I wonder if the immortal master will reward me with some miraculous medicine?"

Pei Ning shook his head when he heard this and said seriously: "If there is a reward, it is your blessing and mine; if there is no reward, it is our destiny. You can never force it, do you understand?"

"Remember senior sister's teachings!" Lin Bai solemnly agreed.

The two of them continued walking forward and saw birds singing and flowers fragrant, and tigers, deer and sheep walking among them, creating a harmonious scene.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning kept talking as they walked forward, and they all used beautiful words to worship the immortal master.

The two of them searched the place but could not find the Immortal Master. They only found a cave.

After making eye contact for a long time, Pei Ning stepped inside.

Lin Bai waited for a while, then gritted his teeth and followed.

The cave was narrow at first, but after a few dozen steps it became much wider, only to become more humid and dim.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the front suddenly opened up, and there was an empty cave with a radius of nearly a hundred feet.

There is an old man sitting cross-legged in the middle. The slanting sunlight comes in from above the cave and is reflected on him.

Looking from a distance, I saw the old man wearing a worn Taoist robe, with disheveled hair and a messy white beard. He was holding an khaki flag in his hand, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

He doesn't look like a meditating sage, but more like a flower child.

"Even if they are not dead, they are at least seriously injured."

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and thought that the drama just now was in vain, and all the good things they said were given to the deaf man.

But at the same time, I felt relieved, and finally felt a little less worried.

Pei Ning took two steps forward, leaned down and saluted, and said, "May I ask who you are, Master Qi?"

The echoes of the cave lingered. After a long time, the old man slowly raised his head and looked at the two of them with turbid eyes.

He has a haggard appearance and a thin body, with a strange purple color gushing out from time to time on his face.

"Who are you?" The voice was old and weak.

"My little girl, the daughter of Zhang Yuanshan of the Qingyang Sect, came here to greet the Immortal Master on my father's orders!" Pei Ning was extremely respectful.

"Zhang Yuanshan? Oh, that boy is very, very good." A smile appeared on the old man's withered face, and he asked: "When you came, was there anything unusual outside?"

"It turns out that Immortal Master Qi is really in person." Pei Ning said with a worried look on his face, "There is nothing unusual outside, please don't worry, Immortal Master."

Master Qi Xian felt relieved after hearing this.

Lin Bai guessed that Immortal Master Qi was still afraid.

But if the person who took action was Sister Zhen, how could she be left alive?

Lin Bai was quite puzzled and just stood behind Peining and observed quietly.

The look of concern on Pei Ning's face became even more intense, without any of the coldness of the past. He raised his hand again and said sadly: "Is the immortal master injured? I don't know who ambushed him? Please tell the immortal master that I will avenge the immortal master!" Go to heaven and earth, and never regret it!”

Her voice is sonorous and her feelings are sincere.

"She's just a witch from Jiuyin Mountain." Master Qi wanted to raise his hand, but seemed unable to do so. He just smiled and said, "I have a treasure to protect me, so there is no serious problem."

You are already like this, how can you still be more pretentious than me? Lin Bai watched silently and wrote down the place name "Jiuyin Mountain" in his mind.

"Then what can we do for the Immortal Master?" Peining asked again.

"Where is my junior brother who came with me? Let him come." Master Qi Xian was slightly out of breath.

Pei Ning sighed helplessly and said, "The two immortal masters are missing and cannot be found."

Hearing this, Master Qi Xian coughed twice and cursed in a low voice: "I only know how to have fun! What a waste!"

"Alas!" Pei Ning sighed heavily, becoming even more concerned, and asked: "By the way, I dare to ask the Immortal Master, what exactly did Pei Wuyong do? How can I, the Qingyang Sect, use the power of the Qingyang Sect to find him?"

"It's just a secret formula." Master Qi Xian sneered, "Pei Wuyong tortured and killed my junior brother and took it away... Haha."

Lin Bai immediately realized that one of the three immortal masters was killed by Pei Wuyong, so wouldn't there be only two left?

"How dare Pei Wuyong be so bold? The immortal master gave it as a blessing, and if he didn't give it, it was fate. How could he rob it by force?" Pei Ning clenched his fists and spoke harshly.

Lin Bai glanced at her and did not dare to say a word.

"You are sensible." Master Qi Xian nodded, "Did you find what Pei Wuyong stole?"

"Of course we found it after all the hard work. But..." Pei Ning sighed helplessly, with a guilty look on his face, "The thing was just... swept away by Elder Tong again. Alas, we are incompetent!"

"Elder Tong? Is he Tong Ruhu?" Master Qi Xian sneered, "I have long seen that he has evil intentions, and sure enough..."

"Master Immortal, what should I do now?" Pei Ning sighed, "I dare to ask Master Immortal how long it will take for him to recover from his injuries so that he can go out and kill Xiao Xiao!"

"Two or three months." Master Qi's tone became colder, "It only takes two or three months..." When he spoke, he seemed to be enduring the pain, and the purple energy on his face appeared and disappeared.

"Two or three months?"

Pei Ning's face became more worried, and he suddenly felt happy and said: "Master Immortal, this is my junior brother! I heard that the Immortal family has a method of taking tonic. He has strong muscles and bones, full of blood and energy, and he has the body of a young man. Master Immortal, can you Lend him healing?”

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Bai's wrist, obviously holding the pulse gate.

Lin Bai: "Senior sister?"

"It's your blessing to be able to serve the Immortal Master!" Peining said sternly.

"This kind of evil method... But in a desolate place, there is no harm in using it..." Master Qi Xian seemed to be interested. He stared at Lin Bai for a while, then shook his head, "His Yuan Yang has been lost long ago, so there is no big deal." used."

"This..." Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai in surprise, then leaned down to salute and said, "It was my fault, please forgive me, Master Immortal."

"It doesn't matter."

Immortal Master Qi forced a smile on his face and said, "You are already considerate. When I recover from my injuries, you can go to sea with me and I will give you the secret of immortality."

This condescending tone sounded like pity, but also as casual as buying a maid.

Pei Ning was overjoyed, and immediately leaned down and saluted, "My little girl is lucky!"

"Okay, I'm tired." Immortal Master Qi closed his eyes, "Go out and guard this place for me, don't let others intrude."

"Yes!" Pein Ning saluted again, and then pulled Lin Bai out slowly.

The two of them left the cave and walked another three miles before stopping.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Bai asked.

"What to do?" Pei Ning still had a happy smile on his face, "Master Qi Xian has agreed to accept me as his disciple and teach me the magic of immortality. Naturally, I have to fulfill my duty of guardianship."

"Open your mouth and let me see." Lin Bai said.

"Huh?" Peining frowned in confusion.

"Just now when someone leaned down to bow down, he was so angry that he bit his back molars. I don't know if what he was thinking about at that time was human pigs." Lin Bai laughed.

"Yes." Peining also smiled.
