The reason why Bai Yunhua wanted to use the cave map in his hand to exchange friendship with Song Qingming was to pave the way for future generations.
Now that he saw that his grandson Bai Jingyun, whom he cared about the most, had officially worshiped Song Qingming, Bai Yunhua was completely relieved at this moment. Without any further hesitation, he handed the map he drew directly to Song Qingming.
When Song Qingming saw this, he was not polite to him. He directly took the map and opened it and took a look. Then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“It’s so close to Qinghe County and I haven’t heard any news about it in these years. It’s really strange.”
Seeing that Song Qingming was a little confused, Bai Yunhua quickly explained: “Senior, there is Unknown to everyone, the entrance to this place is very hidden. Even if the monks are near the cave, it is difficult to find the entrance
If I hadn't had the rune guidance on the array plate back then, it would have been difficult for me to discover that cave. You will naturally know it when you get there. "
Hearing this, Song Qingming was silent for a moment and nodded directly: "Well, since the distance is not far, you might as well accompany me today to save you from trouble in the future.
Jingyun asked him to stay on the mountain first. The skills he practiced happened to be similar to Yuan Fang, and he could let Yuan Fang give him some guidance on his practice. "
"I am willing to listen to the instructions of my seniors. "
Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be suddenly interested and wanted to go to the cave immediately to see it, Bai Yunhua quickly nodded and agreed.
Now that he has given this secret to Song Qingming, the contents of the cave have nothing to do with him. He has no objection to Song Qingming going there whenever he wants.
After making an agreement with Bai Yunhua, Song Qingming came to the side to explain a few words to Song Yuanfang, and then left "Funiu Mountain" with Bai Yunhua.
To the southeast of Qinghe County, there is a large river about thirty to forty feet wide, named Qinghe.
This river originates from the "Yunwu Mountain" hundreds of miles away, traverses the entire Qinghe County from east to west, then enters Jiangling County in the west and finally merges into "Taiyue Lake" in the southwest of Weiguo.
When "Qinghe County" was first established, it was directly named after this Qinghe River. The monks in the entire "Qinghe County" are very familiar with this river, including of course Song Qingming who grew up here. .
After leaving "Funiu Mountain" with Bai Yunhua, Song Qingming rode a flying boat all the way south. After crossing hundreds of miles, he soon arrived over the Qinghe River over there.
Then Song Qingming, who was standing above the flying boat, picked up the map in his hand and took a look at it. The speed of the flying boat slowly slowed down under his feet.
After confirming his location, Song Qingming controlled the flying boat to fly slowly upstream of the Qinghe River, and soon arrived at a location between two high mountains.
Because the two mountains here are steep and the river is much narrower than in other places, the water flow is very choppy and fast. Even standing a hundred feet high in mid-air, Song Qingming can hear the sound of water splashing below.
After the "Phantom Boat" stopped on the spot, Song Qingming glanced at the map in his hand again, then turned around and asked: "Fellow Daoist Bai, is this here?"
"Yes, the entrance to the cave is under a reef in the water below. Senior, please come with me."
After Bai Yunhua responded, he jumped directly from the flying boat, then stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the river. In a blink of an eye, we were on the water.
Then Bai Yunhua cast a spell to use his magic power to put a water-proof shield on himself, and sank directly to the bottom of the river.
Due to the rapid flow of water, which washes away the soil on the mountain walls on both sides all year round, the water in this section of the Qinghe River is also relatively turbid.
After Song Qingming, who also used the water-avoiding technique, entered the water, he found that his surroundings were very blurry. It was not until he sank to the bottom of the river that he saw Bai Yunhua standing next to a reef in the distance.
When Song Qingming came over to him, Bai Yunhua moved a huge stone under the reef, pointed to a hole under the stone and said: "Senior Song, the entrance is here.
I am first. When I first found this place, most of the cave entrance was covered with sand and gravel. If I hadn’t been a little sensitive to the spell restrictions and noticed something was wrong below, it would have been difficult to find this place.”
I saw one in front of me. Song Qingming couldn't help but smile and nodded at the dark cave entrance that could only accommodate one person.
"There is no spiritual energy leaking out here. It is indeed hidden enough. If you didn't lead the way, I might just pass by and see it." There are no clues. "
As Bai Yunhua said before, there are no people around here, and the entrance to the cave is located in several feet of turbid river water, so it is indeed very hidden.
Even a golden elixir monk with strong spiritual consciousness like Song Qingming passing by this place would not be able to notice that there is an ancient monk's cave hidden underneath, let alone the ordinary monks and mortals nearby.
This cave is hidden in such a secluded place. It is no wonder that no one has ever discovered this cave in the more than a thousand years since "Qinghe County" was founded.
But after all, no matter how many years have passed, someone will always find the hidden place. Even this cave hidden in the water has been quickly climbed before Bai Yunhua entered.
Follow Bai Yunhua into the black cave below, and after about a dozen feet, a suction force suddenly came from the front, causing the two of them to fall down quickly.
Seeing this sudden abnormal phenomenon, Song Qingming instinctively wanted to cast a spell to resist, but he heard Bai Yunhua's voice stopping him.
"Senior, don't be nervous. This is just a water barrier at the entrance of the cave. Follow the water and you will soon be able to enter the cave."
Hearing Bai Yunhua's reminder, Song Qingming put down his hands that were casting spells. , followed the water downwards, and soon the two of them passed through a thin film and entered a very simple hall.
This hall is located at a depth of more than ten feet at the bottom of the river. There is a restriction above to isolate the water flow. Therefore, the hall is not eroded by the water, but appears very dry.
Song Qingming, who had just entered the main hall, quickly stood up and glanced around, and found that except for some useless stones, everything was empty, and he could not even feel the aura.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, Song Qingming cast a spell to release a luminous pearl to illuminate the surrounding area, and then asked Bai Yunhua again: "Could this be the cave?"
"Yes, this is it, but there are many powerful restrictions here. Senior Song should be a little more careful. I didn't know the situation when I first came here, and I almost died in one of the restrictions inside."
< br>"Well! This kind of restriction imposed by ancient monks cannot be underestimated. You should be careful. "Someone, fellow Taoist Bai, you should lead the way. Just take me to the place you mentioned. Let's not go to other places."
Bai Yunhua nodded slightly when he heard this, and then cast a spell. He released a defensive weapon in front of him and carefully led Song Qingming slowly towards the depths of the hall.
Seeing such a cautious look, Song Qingming couldn't help but focus his attention, and released the natal magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in advance.
The hall seemed empty and there seemed to be nothing, but the space inside was indeed very large. Song Qingming followed Bai Yunhua forward for hundreds of feet before arriving at the bottom of a high platform at the end.
After arriving here, Bai Yunhua stopped, pointed to the wall behind the high platform and said: "Senior, there are several passages hidden behind this. One of them is where I found the fragments of the magic weapon, and it is also the place where the restriction is located. .
But there are very powerful restrictions on this high platform. If it is difficult for the monks to pass directly, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Bai Yunhua patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a second-level formation disk, and then cast a spell to send out five or six formation flags. A second-level magic circle was arranged, and five or six golden-armored tigers formed by spiritual magic were summoned from it.
Bai Yunhua used the formation to summon the golden-armored tiger. Although it was completely made of invisible spiritual energy, it could be used to fight against enemies as well as ordinary foundation-building monks.
After summoning these tigers, Bai Yunhua cast a spell to release several sealing talismans and attached them to them, and then commanded one of the golden-armored tigers to jump directly onto the high platform.
Just when the tiger fell, the four stone platforms surrounding the high platform suddenly lit up with a green aura, and then these auras flew directly into the sky and gathered into a mass, turning into an armored giant holding a giant sword.
After this giant appeared, his aura was no less than that of a Golden Core cultivator. He raised the giant sword in his hand high and quickly slashed it down at the golden-armored tiger not far away.
Although there was still a distance of more than ten feet between the two, the aura giant actually released hundreds of sword lights with one sword strike, like a rain of swords, it directly shot the golden-armored tiger in front of him into pieces. The sieve quickly turned into aura and disappeared.
Just when the aura giant attacked the golden-armored tiger on the platform, Bai Yunhua below also seized the opportunity and directed the remaining golden-armored tigers to attack the stone platforms above the high platform where the aura was emitting. .
The aura giant here has just killed the golden-armored tiger in front of him, and the high platform that provides it with spiritual power has now been bitten by the remaining tigers.
Under the control of Bai Yunhua, the sealing talismans on these golden-armored tigers quickly fell on the stone platform. After a while, the aura of the aura giant became dim.
Although the aura giant noticed their move later and came in time to kill several tigers.
However, Bai Yunhua had already prepared the sealing talisman and smoothly integrated it into the stone platform with the aura of the golden-armored tiger. It didn't take long for the talisman to successfully seal the source of the aura giant's aura.
Bai Yunhua's set of sealing and prohibition methods were often used by Song Qingming to break formations in the past. Seeing the opponent's goal being successfully achieved smoothly, Song Qingming's eyes flashed with admiration.
It must be said that Bai Yunhua's talent in formations is indeed very outstanding. If he is given the opportunity to successfully form a pill, he will surely be able to advance to the third level formation master like Song Qingming sooner or later.
"This forbidden spiritual source has been sealed by me. Just wait for a while, and the spiritual power in this guy's body will naturally dissipate when it is difficult to maintain."
After hearing Bai Yunhua's explanation, he stood aside Song Qingming looked at the aura giant not far away, but calmly shook his head. "This doesn't have to be so troublesome! Fellow Taoist Bai, just stand far away and leave this flirtation to me."
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he waved his hands around the "Five Elements" The "Divine Light Mirror" was divided into five parts and flew directly towards the location of the aura giant from five different directions.
Seeing that someone else had invaded the high platform, the aura giant immediately sensed it and directly waved the giant sword in his hand to turn into a rain of swords and shoot towards Song Qingming who was following.
However, when Song Qingming faced this powerful blow from the aura giant, he didn't pay too much attention. He directly summoned the "mysterious light armor" in his body to cover himself, and stopped the sword rain very easily.
Just when the aura giant wanted to attack again, a bronze mirror suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking its way.
Following the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", the other four bronze mirrors also appeared around it, tightly surrounding it. Then, several colorful spiritual lights shot out from the bronze mirror, directly surrounding it. The aura giant was bound in a ball of light, making it difficult to move.
Through the brief battle between Bai Yunhua and the aura giant just now, Song Qingming has also seen the opponent's true and false, and knows that his strength is only at the fourth level of the golden elixir.
After Bai Yunhua sealed the spiritual source, the strength of the aura giant dropped a lot, and it no longer posed any threat to Song Qingming.
Because of this, Song Qingming chose to attack him directly, not wanting to waste too much time here.
Seeing Song Qingming take action directly against the aura giant, Bai Yunhua on the side wanted to offer some words of persuasion.
But before he could say anything, he discovered that the two sides had only fought for a few rounds in just a moment, and the aura giant on the high platform had been firmly suppressed by Song Qingming's natal magic weapon.
Seeing that this aura giant seemed to be no match for Song Qingming, Bai Yunhua quickly shut his mouth and suppressed the words that were on his lips, with a somewhat relaxed look on his face.
After trapping the aura giant, seeing that the opponent had no power to fight back, Song Qingming directly increased his mana and injected it into the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", and quickly defeated it easily and turned it into aura and dissipated in it. in mid-air.
Seeing that Song Qingming had eliminated the aura giant, Bai Yunhua quickly stepped forward and complimented him: "I didn't know that the senior is so powerful. The junior just showed off his embarrassment, which is really unnecessary. I hope the senior will not laugh at the junior."
Song Qing Ming heard the words, waved his hand gently and said: "If you hadn't sealed the forbidden spiritual source just now, I don't think it would be so easy to kill it directly. Fellow Daoist Bai don't have to think too much.
But this restriction It is indeed very powerful. After It has been defeated many times over the years, but it is indeed rare to have such power.
I don’t know what kind of magical abilities the ancient monks who originally built this cave were able to deploy like this. The powerful restriction is something I didn’t expect.”
“Senior is right. When junior came in for the first time, it was because of this that I always felt that this cave was a bit extraordinary.
>
It's a pity that the younger generation's luck is a little worse. I have been exploring here many times over the years, but other than encountering these powerful restrictions, I haven't been able to find any opportunities. "After Bai Yunhua finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Personal opportunity is destined by God, not something we and other monks can force. This place is so dangerous, but Fellow Daoist Bai has been safe after entering it many times. If nothing happens, it can be regarded as God taking care of it. "
Hearing Song Qingming's comforting words, Bai Yunhua smiled and nodded: "Senior's words are quite right. Although I have been mediocre in my life, I have not achieved any great achievements.
However, compared to other fellow monks around me who died early, I have experienced many dangers in my life, and it is indeed not easy for me to survive until now. "
After Bai Yunhua recovered his emotions, he took Song Qingming to the wall behind the high platform.
There is a very exquisite landscape mural painted on the wall, and there are many ancient runes marked in the painting. It is obviously not the work of a modern monk.
I don’t know what materials the painter used in the first place, but after such a long time, it is still dazzling and has no sign of fading.
“Senior Song, many of the runes on this wall hide passages, but there are no spiritual objects inside. Basically, they have been climbed first.
Back then, I entered After getting here, the junior never gave up and almost searched for all the passages above. After trying it again, I still found nothing, so I started thinking about this rune again.
I didn’t expect that after so many years of research, I actually found a special passage, and the restrictions in it were still there. In good condition, it seems that it has not been damaged
It's a pity that the restriction is very powerful. Over the years, the younger generation has tried their best but still can't get in. I don't know if I will have the chance to see what's inside in this life. "
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Bai. If we can go in smoothly later and there are really good things inside, I will definitely not treat you badly. After all, I wouldn't have the chance to find this place without you. ”
“Haha! I have known Senior Song for so many years. It is precisely because I know that Senior is a kind person that I dare to entrust my family to you and tell you the secrets in my heart.
This junior is a dying person. No matter how many spiritual objects and magic weapons I get, it can't change anything for me.
Senior, don’t worry, since this cave has been given to you, I will never covet anything in it again. I just want to take a look to make up for the regrets in my heart. ”
After hearing Song Qingming's promise that he could share some spiritual objects with him after entering, Bai Yunhua shook his head repeatedly, directly rejected the other party's kindness, and then began to cast spells to search for the runes on the wall.
Seeing this, Song Qingming did not continue to say anything, and looked at the other party with a calm face as he carefully searched for the special passage he mentioned.
Many of the ancient runes on this painting were the same as those Song Qingming had seen before. Bai Yunhua had been studying them for many years and was already very familiar with them. It didn’t take him long to accurately find the one he wanted to open. .
As Bai Yunhua injected his body's mana into the runes, soon the entire mural on the wall lit up with a dazzling spiritual light.
The original paintings on the wall began to change under the illumination of the spiritual light, from mountains and flowing water to rivers and lakes, and then to the heavenly palace and wonderland in the clouds. Various exquisite pictures flashed before their eyes. And passed.
It was the first time for Song Qingming to see such a scene. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he secretly admired the person who could arrange such an exquisite restriction.
"Senior Song, these runes will change positions every time you come in. I have written them down and put them on the back of the map I gave you. If you come in next time, you can also follow the above notes, which will be much more convenient. "
Hearing Bai Yunhua's reminder, Song Qingming opened the drawing in his hand and quickly found the rune he mentioned, then nodded to it with a smile.
Fortunately, he brought Bai Yunhua with him this time, otherwise Song Qingming would have spent a lot more time alone trying to find the passage he wanted to enter among so many runes.
After Song Qingming put away the drawings, the scroll on the wall suddenly flashed with a more dazzling light, and then a rotating pattern that looked like a teleportation portal appeared.
"Senior, the passage has been opened, let's go in first!"
After Bai Yunhua finished speaking, seeing that Song Qingming had no objection, he walked directly into the teleportation entrance first, and soon disappeared on the high platform of the hall. .
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately followed him, and the two of them quickly passed through the teleportation array and fell into an underground passage that was much smaller than the main hall outside.
After arriving here, Bai Yunhua and Song Qingming walked several dozen feet along the passage, and were soon blocked by a white stone door.
Looking at the stone door in front of the two of them, Song Qingming quickly realized that the restriction above had been broken, and immediately asked:
"Did you break the restriction on this door?"
Hearing this, Bai Yunhua nodded and said: "Senior is right, this restriction was removed by me, but the restriction on this door does not count. It's amazing, the junior didn't put much effort at that time.
But in addition to the restrictions on the stone door, there is another one behind the door. There is a very powerful Gangfeng restriction, and this junior has been prevented from entering."
"Well! You open the stone door first, and I will try to see how powerful this restriction is!"
< br>After Song Qingming finished speaking, as soon as he used the magic power in his hand, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" automatically flew out of the body and protected him and Bai Yunhua.
Seeing this, Bai Yunhua didn't hesitate at all, stepped forward and pushed open the stone door.
As the stone door was opened, a fierce gust of wind hit her face. Bai Yunhua, who was standing in front, was blown away even though he was prepared to use the protective mask. .
Just when Bai Yunhua took out his magic weapon and prepared to resist, a bronze mirror appeared beside him, blocking the fierce wind in front of him and allowing him to stabilize his body.
"This Gangfeng is indeed quite powerful. It is not something that a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage can handle. Fellow Daoist Bai, you stay here for now. I will go forward and see if I can break this restriction."
Hearing Song Qingming's suggestion, Bai Yunhua quickly nodded in agreement, then removed a few formation flags and simply arranged a defensive formation on the spot and got in.
After Bai Yunhua did all this, Song Qingming took back the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to protect himself, and walked forward carefully against the fierce wind.
The further he walked, Song Qingming found that the power of the Gangfeng seemed to be slowly increasing, and it was no longer something that ordinary Jindan monks could directly resist, which made him frown slightly. (End of this chapter)
