The Wheel-Turning Master

Huaxi County, spring rain and rustling.

In the backyard of the county government office, in a greenhouse.

The incense candle swayed and the incense curled up.

Song Qing put on his robe and looked at a young woman.

This woman's appearance is not stunning, but she is born with a soft and charming attitude, and her eyes are always filled with spring.

There is also a tendency to be weak and weak, which makes people move their index fingers.

This woman is Qin Ruzhong's sister Qin.

"How is it?" Song Qing asked expectantly.

Mrs. Qin showed a soft and charming posture and said sweetly: "I am so weak that even the Immortal Master Xiao Song doesn't know how to pity me."

When Song Qing heard this, he immediately laughed.

Then, Song Qing asked again: "Who is better, Qi Zhen or me?"

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Qi Zhen refers to Master Qi Xian.

She couldn't help but make a comparison in her mind, feeling that Immortal Master Xiao Song would recover faster, and he would not be as good as that old guy Qi Zhen!

I heard that there was a man in Huaxi County who could spin a wheel. He was extremely talented and praised by the women in Hecheng. Even the daughter of the Imperial Preceptor was abducted, but he never got a chance to see him.

"Where's the Immortal Master? I'm neither up nor down now, do you still have the nerve to ask?"

Mrs. Qin put aside her dissatisfaction and said shyly, "Of course it's Master Xiao Song who is the strongest."

Song Qing was very satisfied with Qin's answer.

At this time, someone knocked on the door softly and called him Immortal Master.

"Come in." Song Qing said.

Ren Qiaoyun came in with his head lowered, saluted Yingying, and said: "The people from the Qingyang Sect are back."

"I know, it probably didn't work, right?" Song Qing said calmly.

"Yes, only a few young people came back. They said they found them seven days ago. The leader and elders were dead. They hid in the mountains for several days before..." Ren Qiaoyun lowered his head and turned back.

"Okay." Song Qing waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say anything more.

Over there, Mrs. Qin asked anxiously: "Where is my brother? How is he?"

Ren Qiaoyun ignored him.

"Xiao Immortal Master Song, please save my brother!" Mrs. Qin stepped forward, hugged Song Qing's legs, and spoke sadly.

Song Qing ignored her, only looked at Ren Qiaoyun, and asked, "I heard the sound of fighting, what's going on outside?"

Ren Qiaoyun said bitterly: "There are rebels outside the city and they are attacking the city."

Song Qing nodded, put on his clothes and walked out.

When I arrived at the pavilion, I saw Zhang Han already waiting.

"Junior Brother Song, how about waking up from the dream?" Zhang Han asked with a smile.

"It's not very interesting." Song Qing sat down, smiled and waved his hands, "If you only have time for a cup of tea, it's better to meditate and practice Taoism."

"..." Zhang Han was stunned for a moment and continued to agree.

"The rebels outside are besieging the city, the air is full of fighting, and the blood is boiling."

There was a look of compassion on Song Qing's face, "These ordinary people are really childish and ridiculous."

"It's all the same." Zhang Han smiled and poured tea, "It's the same in our hometown, there are always noisy things."

"It's different." Song Qing shook his head and said: "These ordinary people have to use their hands to distinguish the superior from the inferior. We judge the superior by the realm, but it saves a lot of killing."

"Yes." Zhang Han did not argue.

"Let's go." Song Qing said in a relaxed tone: "After taking care of Lin Zhuanlun, it's time to go back to the mountain. After being indulged for too long, it's time to calm down. After all, the great road is the foundation."

"That's exactly what it should be!" Zhang Han immediately held it up and said, "Junior brother, I'm learning the art of numerology, why don't I go there again without divination?"

Song Qing smiled and shook his head, saying: "Ruyi inherited Master's knowledge of numerology. I mainly learned water-based exercises. In fact, I have only scratched the surface of numerology."

He was very humble in his words, but he turned his hand and threw out two pieces of bluestone.

The bluestone immediately fell on the palm of his hand. Song Qing glanced at it and held his palm again.

"Who is the master?" Zhang Han asked with a smile.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I'll teach you a good lesson." Song Qing didn't say it directly, but said with a smile: "Although the study of numerology is to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, you can't rely on it in everything, otherwise your mind will be easily confused. It’s a wrong way to go.”

Hearing this, Zhang Han immediately acted as if he had suddenly realized something and said: "Junior brother is indeed a young genius. Master Qu really found the right successor! With junior brother's character and understanding, Zhong Xiuxiu will not be able to do it after all."

"Senior Brother Zhang is exaggerating." Song Qing felt comfortable being stroked.

"Senior brother, I speak from the bottom of my heart!" Zhang Han waved his sleeves and couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother, is it good or bad just now?"

"Two mere mortals are nothing more than ants to us? How can they be good or bad?" Song Qing laughed loudly, "No evil, no good."

After the two of them finished speaking, they turned into escaping light and headed north.

The spring rain has not stopped at this time.

Inside and outside the city, both the attacking rebels and the people in the city were all kneeling in worship.

"The gods come to the rescue! Kill all the rebels outside the city!"

"The Immortal has pity on us poor people! Destroy all those powerful, evil gentry and corrupt officials!"

However, the immortal seemed to feel that the people were not sincere, so he not only remained silent, but also fled further away.

"If the gods don't come to save the suffering! Then we will come! Fight into the city! Kill the dog magistrate! Kill the powerful! Kill the evil gentry! Equalize the land and exempt from taxes!" One person shouted with his arms raised, his eyes tearing apart.

All of a sudden, the responders gathered!

Spring rain and rustling, no matter inside or outside the city, there is no difference in the heart of nourishing all things.

The two escaping lights had already entered Tianlang Mountain, changing direction slightly from time to time.

Just after noon, Song Qing and Zhang Han fell on the ground.

"This is the place where Qi Zhen died." Zhang Han looked around, stretched out his arm and pointed in the direction of the cave entrance, and introduced: "It's in that cave."

As he spoke, a group of black crows flew up, all shiny and plump.

Song Qing had never been here before. He looked around, nodded slightly, and stretched out his palm.

There was an ant the size of a soybean in his palm, with its antennae pointing in the direction of the cave entrance.

"Go back." Song Qing spoke slowly, and then another ant flew over and landed in his palm.

The two ants touched their antennae, seeming to be quite excited.

"It's not easy to find the concentric ants. Junior brother has a deep fortune." Zhang Han said enviously.

"It just happened to meet." Song Qing took out a pill bottle, poured out a black pill, and the two concentric ants pounced on it to eat.

After eating the pill, Song Qing put the two concentric ants in a small bottle and looked at the cave.

Soon, a man came out.

The man carried a sword on his back, held a bow in his hand, had a straight back, a fair face, and a heroic look.

It was Pei Ning.

The two sides were more than a hundred steps apart, and there was no murderous aura.

"Master Song, Master Zhang, Xiuxiu has been taken away by Master Qu. There is no way Lin Zhuanlun and I can go to find her. Why do we have to force her?" Pei Ning bowed and spoke loudly.

"I understand this truth."

Song Qing was quite emotional, "But Master has always been arbitrary and does not allow mistakes. I really can't disobey."

"Hurry up and let Lin Zhuanlun come out to die!" Zhang Han was a little impatient.

Pei Ning ignored him and shot an arrow at Song Qing.

Song Qing smiled slightly and raised his hand slightly. The extremely fast arrow slowed down and then slowly fell to the ground.

"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense with her! Just kill her!" Zhang Han stepped forward, his hands covered with frost. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Lin Bai walking out of the cave.

People who enter the Tao have been cleansed by spiritual energy and have left the mortal body, so people who practice can recognize them at a glance.

Song Qing and Zhang Han felt something was wrong.

"Practicing Qi? You have already entered the Dao?" Song Qing frowned, and then immediately retreated. At the same time, a thick water vapor appeared around him, firmly protecting himself.

"Good thief! You——" Before Zhang Han finished speaking, he saw Song Qing retreating quickly and casting a spell to protect his body. He followed suit and retreated again and again, and the shadow of an iceberg condensed around him.

"You and I will guard each other." Song Qing frowned and looked around without looking at Lin Bai, and whispered to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han immediately did as he said. The two stood back to back, carefully guarding as if facing a great enemy.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Obviously, they were at an absolute disadvantage, but the other party was so cautious that it was outrageous.

Then Song Qing flew up again and disappeared, and came back after a cup of tea.

He shook his head at Zhang Han, indicating that it was safe.

"Lin Zhuanlun, how did you get the way to enter the Dao? What is your relationship with the man from Jiuyin Mountain?" Song Qing was still very steady, a hundred feet away from Lin Bai.

"No comment!" Lin Bai replied loudly.

Zhang Han also understood. When he saw the copper ring on Lin Bai's finger, he immediately said, "Lin Zhuanlun! You actually colluded with the people from Jiuyin Mountain! You also took Qi Zhen's storage ring! You are really bold. You did this and even dangled in front of my Master Qu!"

"It seems that killing you today is not easy!" Song Qing smiled, "I need to take you back to the mountain gate and ask the elder to search your soul!"

After saying that, he still did not make a move, but looked at Lin Bai with a sure win.

With the foundation building against the Qi training, or the Qi training that has just entered the Dao not long ago, it is almost in hand.

Sure enough, after a while, Lin Bai and Pei Ning were seen shooting arrows.

However, a hazy water wave suddenly appeared on the field. As soon as the swift arrow entered the water wave, it seemed to be blocked from entering the water and slowly fell.

The offensive was like a child playing house.

"He has only been in the Dao for a short time. Even if he can use magic, it is completely useless at a distance of 100 steps." Zhang Han laughed.

The two were really very cautious. They were obviously sure to win, but they chose to take a defensive position.

After a while, Lin Bai and Pei Ning threw away their bows and arrows. They showed a desperate intention and attacked with swords.

"You are a beginner, and you are suppressed by your realm. You have no chance of winning." Song Qing smiled slightly, and the phantom of a long river appeared behind him.

"The water of the river!"

The water was mighty, and Lin Bai and Pei Ning immediately felt that they were in a turbulent flow and it was extremely difficult to move forward.

It was already difficult, Zhang Han pinched his fingers, and the phantom of an iceberg appeared behind him.

"Go!"

In an instant, the two fell into an ice cave, and their flesh and blood seemed to be frozen. At this moment, the shadow of the iceberg fell from above.

Lin Bai held a long sword in his hand, showing a dazzling sword light, and actually soared into the sky.

With a loud bang, the iceberg shattered, Lin Bai fell heavily to the ground, and the sword light disappeared.

Pei Ning was also swept by the shadow of the iceberg, and was immediately overturned several feet, spitting blood continuously.

"I haven't exerted my strength yet." Zhang Han smiled.

He and Song Qing cooperated tacitly, one delayed the action, and the other attacked.

Lin Bai stood up, supported the ground with his sword, and after a few breaths, he stood up again.

The shadow of the water waves around him was surging, and he could hardly stand steadily.

While swaying, the long sword in Lin Bai's hand showed a dazzling light again, and the ice condensed on his hands and feet shattered.

"He wants to fight to the death." Song Qing said lightly.

"So what?" Zhang Han smiled.

"An ant trying to shake a tree."

Song Qing nodded, and saw Lin Bai suddenly running towards the two of them. His figure was like a thin mist of green smoke, and he was so fast that the shadow of the water waves seemed to be unable to slow down.

But just when Lin Bai was fifty steps in front of the two of them, he saw that Lin Bai slowed down. His body was covered with water lines, as if he was tied up. The water lines did not stop, and they went through his mouth and nose and entered Lin Bai's body.

"I won't kill you, just..."

Song Qing had a faint smile on his face, full of confidence, as if he was strolling in the garden, but before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Bai actually threw away his long sword and held a small black hairpin in his hand.

Lin Bai held the black hairpin in his hand and injected spiritual power.

This was a gift from Sister Zhen when she left, and she left a message: It may save my life.

This is also Lin Bai's last resort.

Before, he didn't know how to use it, but after entering the Tao, Lin Bai knew it without being taught, and he could open it by just inputting spiritual power.

Although he didn't know what this thing was and what power it had. But Lin Bai knew that this was the only chance to survive.

So he just desperately moved forward, just wanting to get closer.

"Is there an invincible flying sword hidden in this hairpin?"

Lin Bai thought so and injected spiritual power. The black hairpin seemed to have a sense and moved slightly.

For a moment, the four people present seemed to hear the subtle chirping of cicadas.

"How much spiritual power is needed? I have to use it sparingly..." Lin Bai was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that the black hairpin seemed to have a huge suction force.

The spiritual power in the sea of ​​qi suddenly disappeared, and Lin Bai immediately fell to the ground, unable to muster any strength.

Even the qi and blood were drained away, and there was no hard part of his body.

Then blood gushed out of his seven orifices, and blood oozed out of his skin all over his body.

The pain in his head was so severe that it felt like countless silver needles were piercing him.

"I..." Lin Bai felt that his brain could not think at all, and he was terrified: Is this saving my life or killing me?

Just using it would take half my life!

"This is a talisman! A golden elixir talisman!" Zhang Han was terrified, and just as he was about to turn around and flee, he felt a heavy pressure coming down.

The black hairpin turned into a huge black cicada, with crystal eyes reflecting the sun and the moon.

Lin Bai's ears were ringing badly, but he still heard Zhang Han's exclamation.

"Talisman? Golden elixir talisman? But at that time, Sister Zhen was not a golden elixir... Was it given by her elders? Her life-saving item was given to me?" Lin Bai was confused, and he felt a headache after thinking for a while.

"You have a talisman, how can I not have one?"

Song Qing was surprised, but not panicked. He stood firm and a hide appeared in his hand.

As he spoke, the hide ignited without wind.

Instantly, a huge black turtle shadow appeared, which seemed to be able to shake the mountains. The black turtle's eyes were full, as if it could accommodate everything.

"Everyone knows that my master is good at fortune-telling, but not good at fighting. In fact, my master also has a lot of insights on the way of defense."

Sure enough, the back of the black turtle was a little brighter, and there was a faint shape of the Eight Diagrams.

The black turtle was as still as a mountain, and the water vapor around it was surging, which also had a sense of solidity.

Song Qing and Zhang Han stood in the black turtle shadow. The two did not look relaxed, but more solemn.

The black cicada shadow came in an instant, and after touching the black turtle's defense, the black turtle shadow disappeared without a trace.

"Run!" Zhang Han was a coward, and turned around and ran away.

"It's painful!" Song Qing was horrified. He knew it was too late to escape, so he immediately made a hand gesture. However, before the shadow of the long river behind him appeared, the black cicada had already passed through his body.

And Zhang Han, who was five or six steps behind him, was not spared either. He was also pierced through by the black cicada.

It was like a breeze blowing past.

"My life is over... eh?" Zhang Han was dry-mouthed and extremely frightened, but he found that he did not feel any discomfort.

Touching his head, nothing happened. Touching his body, nothing happened. Touching his crotch, something was missing, but it was missing before...

Slightly circulating his spiritual power, it was smoother, without any discomfort.

Zhang Han turned his head to look at Song Qing, only to see that Song Qing was also extremely confused.

The two of them were clearly pierced through the body by the black cicada just now, but they were not hurt at all.

Not only were the two of them fine, but even the ground under their feet and the trees around them were not damaged at all.

The two of them were stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Bai.

They saw that Lin Bai was huddled on the ground, and blood was seeping out of his clothes.

There were bloodstains on his face, and blood and sweat were flowing on his face.

It was like a person who had been in a brothel without sleep for a whole year and had extremely weak kidneys.

Pei Ning staggered forward, sat down beside Lin Bai, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out three pills, and stuffed them all into Lin Bai's mouth.

But it had no effect at all. Lin Bai was still shaking, as if he was very cold, but his body was covered with sweat.

Pei Ning held the sword and looked at Song Qing and Zhang Han, complaining in a low voice: "Is this the good thing your old lover gave you? Is it to remind you of the experience of being squeezed dry by her?" She was very resentful.

"Lin Zhuanlun!" Zhang Han suddenly said over there, "You are only at the second level of Qi training, and you forcibly triggered the talisman. You are lucky not to die."

"Take him back to the mountain gate and ask him carefully." Song Qing's face was slightly pale because he had just used the talisman.

"That's right!" Zhang Han responded immediately.

Song Qing nodded slightly.

Pei Ning wiped the blood from his lips, stood up, held the sword in front of him, and said: "Song Qing, kill me first." He glanced at Lin Bai and said unhappily: "What old lover, you still have to have me!"

Song Qing ignored him and flicked his fingers lightly.

A line of water rushed towards Pei Ning quickly and hit the long sword with a ding sound.

The long sword broke, but the remaining force was not reduced. Pei Ning could not bear it and took two steps back. He was tripped by Lin Bai and sat on Lin Bai's head.

"..." Pei Ning was afraid that he would sit on Lin Bai to death, so he turned over quickly.

Seeing that Lin Bai was still panting, Pei Ning hugged his head and looked at Song Qing.

Song Qing walked over, one step, two steps, three steps...

Then he suddenly stopped, with an unbelievable look on his face.

He raised his hands and feet, as if he was wondering whether his hands and feet belonged to him.

"This is..." As soon as he spoke, he could hear that his once gentle voice had become dry and old.

Like an old man.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Han, and saw that Zhang Han was also looking at him in astonishment.

There was fear in the eyes of both of them, and they stood still for a while, as if their bodies were frozen.
