Song Qingming, who was standing aside waiting, heard Bai Yunhua's exclamation and immediately walked quickly towards the mural.
After getting closer, Song Qingming discovered that the original landscape on the mural had been replaced by another somewhat similar pattern. The runes on it were more than half less than before, with only a dozen left. .
"Here, could it be that by taking away the residual picture just now, I triggered some restrictions inside, and did the mural change accordingly?" After seeing this brand-new mural, Song Qingming was a little surprised. color.
Before being teleported out, Song Qingming had not felt any spiritual power fluctuations inside.
But the moment he put away the residual image, the teleportation tower was immediately activated. It seemed that it was because he took away the residual image that he instantly triggered the teleportation restriction.
Seeing Song Qingming coming over, Bai Yunhua stood aside and explained with surprise: "Senior, this junior has come in many times before, all with the original pictures and runes. This is the first time I have seen this pattern.
I just tried it. My magic power can't activate these runes at all. It's completely different from before. "
Glancing at Bai Yunhua, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said with a solemn expression: "Fellow Daoist Bai, please get out of my way first."
When Bai Yunhua heard this, he immediately left the front of the mural and gave his place to Song Qingming, and stood aside to watch humbly.
After taking a careful look at the mural, Song Qingming opened his palms and cast a ray of spiritual light, covering one of the runes.
Although Song Qingming's understanding of these runes is currently not as good as Bai Yunhua's, as a high-level formation master, it is not difficult for him to learn how to cast spells and operate these runes.
After completely covering the runes with his own mana, the entire runes immediately lit up with a burst of spiritual light.
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately increased his magic power, began to control the rotation position of the runes, and tried to open the prohibition switch on it. This was also the method used by Bai Yunhua before.
As long as you activate the runes above and adjust them to the correct direction, you can directly open the corresponding passage on the mural.
Bai Yunhua on the side saw that Song Qingming had activated the runes, and a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face, thinking that Song Qingming should be able to open the passage smoothly next.
But what happened next surprised both of them.
Song Qingming, who had already activated the rune, tried his best to use his maximum magic power, but he only moved the position of the rune slightly, and it was difficult to move it one step further.
After trying for a while, it still didn’t work, so Song Qingming had no choice but to give up and take back his magic power.
Song Qingming then looked for another rune on the mural and cast the spell again and tried the steps just now. Unexpectedly, the result was still the same, and the restrictions on the rune could not be operated at all.
After spending another whole stick of incense, Song Qingming tried each of the dozen runes above, but without exception, he could not operate any of them.
Seeing this, Song Qingming, who had very little mana left in him, had no choice but to stop trying.
“Senior Song, although this rune is different from the previous one, I think the method of operation should still be correct, but it seems to be much more difficult than before.
This It's really weird, I've been here so many times before None of the rune restrictions above have experienced such changes, so why did they suddenly become so powerful?”
When Bai Yunhua activated the rune restrictions before, although it also required a lot of mana, But it was nowhere near as difficult as it is now.
After trying for so long, Song Qingming himself felt that the restrictions on these runes were now much stronger than he originally imagined.
Although casting the spell with all one's strength can shake the runes a little, it is obviously not enough to run the restriction and open the channel.
Song Qingming estimated in his mind that if he wanted to smoothly operate the rune restrictions above, he would probably need a cultivation level above Nascent Soul.
Seeing that Bai Yunhua on the side also saw it, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "It seems that the restrictions on this rune are indeed much more difficult than before. It is impossible to enter again now.
It doesn’t matter, let’s go out first, we can find it today. It’s a useful magic weapon, and it’s not a wasted trip. I’ll try it myself next time when I have time!”
Although I know that this cave is related to the residual map in my hand, I am eager to find the remaining treasure. But now facing this mural, Song Qingming was a little helpless at the moment.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly and planned to leave here first and try again next time when he has time.
Bai Yunhua also said before that every time you come in, the runes on the mural will change position. Maybe if you come back after a while, the mural will be restored to its previous appearance, so that Song Qingming can have the opportunity to run the runes. Wen has reopened the channel.
After practicing for so many years, Song Qingming also knows that some things should not be too impatient. Since he has no way to go in at this moment, he can only wait until later.
Anyway, this cave is located in "Qinghe County", and it is only a few hundred miles away from the family spiritual mountain. It is easy for me to visit again, and there is no need to rush.
After thinking about it, Song Qingming immediately turned around and walked directly to the exit of the hall without hesitation.
Bai Yunhua on the side saw this and immediately followed without saying anything.
Even Song Qingming, the ancestor of the Golden Pill, had no other options, and Bai Yunhua naturally didn't want to try again.
For him, bringing Song Qingming to this cave and helping him get a good magic weapon has already fulfilled the agreement.
Bai Yunhua has searched the remaining passages before, and there is nothing useful in them. Whether the other party can enter or not has nothing to do with him, so he is naturally happy to go back early.
Not long after, Song Qingming and the two left the cave along the same path and returned to the water.
After coming out, Song Qingming did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he controlled the "Phantom Boat" and took Bai Yunhua around in a circle, and then returned to the sky above "Qinghe".
Song Qingming then turned around and said seriously to Bai Yunhua behind him: "Fellow Daoist Bai, to be honest, I am indeed somewhat interested in this cave.
After leaving today, you must You have to promise me one thing: never mention anything about this cave to anyone else. You should be able to do this, right?"
< br>When Bai Yuhua heard this, he immediately nodded respectfully and said: "Since the junior has given this cave to the senior, it is naturally impossible to mention this matter to others.
Please also ask Song Senior, don’t worry, this junior has never mentioned anything about this cave before, not even the descendants of my family know about it.”
"Well! That's good, but I have always been more cautious in my actions, and I don't want to cause any trouble for myself in the future. Fellow Daoist Bai, do you understand what I mean?"
"Well... senior, don't worry, junior. I am willing to swear with my soul here that I will never leave this place today. I will not reveal anything about this cave to anyone."
Seeing that Song Qingming's eyes were staring at him with some worry, Bai Yunhua was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted, and then took the initiative to deal with it. On Song Qingming's face, he made a spiritual oath to keep the secret.
In order to show his sincerity, Bai Yunhua also took out a soul contract from himself, wrote the oath, and then took out a drop of his blood essence and dripped it on it, making a life and death contract with Song Qingming. His life was voluntarily put into the hands of Song Qingming.
Seeing that the other party took out a soul contract, Song Qingming was slightly surprised. It seemed that Bai Yunhua had thought of this before coming and was already prepared for it.
After getting the other party's soul contract, Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, and then took Bai Yunhua and turned into a white escaping light directly back to "Funiu Mountain".
Several hours had passed from the time they left to the time the two returned, and the setting sun on the horizon had already fallen under the distant mountain tops.
After returning to "Funiu Mountain" and seeing that it was getting late, Song Qingming asked Song Yuanfang to directly arrange for Bai Yunhua and his grandson to live there, and asked them to wait until tomorrow to return to "White Shiling".
In response, Bai Yunhua did not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.
After a night's rest, Bai Yunhua and Bai Jingyun had just gone out early the next morning. They were about to go and say goodbye to Song Yuanfang, but they bumped into Song Yuanfang who came to the door.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, Ancestor invites you to go to the top of the mountain."
"Is it Ancestor Song who invites me there?" Bai Yunhua was a little surprised when he heard from Song Yuanfang that it was Song Qingming who was looking for him.
Before returning from "Qinghe Cave" yesterday, I had already sworn the oath in person, and for a while I didn't quite understand what else Song Qingming wanted to do with me at this time.
“That’s right, it’s the seventh uncle who is looking for fellow Taoist to talk about something. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to come with me quickly!”
After receiving the confirmation, Bai Yunhua nodded. After asking more questions, he followed Song Yuanfang to the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain, and saw Song Qingming who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Yuan Fang, please take Jingyun down to sit down for a while. I want to have a few words with fellow Taoist Bai alone."
After meeting and saying hello, Song Qingming asked Song Yuanfang to take his disciple Bai Jingyun first. He left the hall on the third floor and then asked Bai Yunhua to sit aside.
“I don’t know why Senior Song came to this junior. If there is anything, please give me direct instructions, Senior.”
Seeing that Bai Yunhua in front of him seemed a little nervous, Song Qingming quickly smiled and waved it off. Waving his hand, he explained: "Fellow Daoist Bai misunderstood. I have nothing else to do with you today. I just have two things to give you."
After saying that, Song Qingming took over the two jade boxes prepared on the table beside him. , directly placed in Bai Yunhua's hands. "Fellow Daoist Bai, what is inside this is a second-grade middle-grade longevity elixir. I refined this elixir myself from the Song family. It should be able to help you add at least a few more years to your life.
There are also three thousand spiritual stones. Just think of it as the spiritual stones that I bought from you for that magic circle. Fellow Taoist, please be sure to accept them and don’t be polite to me. "
"Well... Senior Song is being polite. Senior has promised to take care of Jingyun in the future. Junior has no merit and no salary. How can I have the nerve to accept senior's things? I hope senior will not treat me like this. You're welcome. ”
Seeing the thousands of pieces of spiritual stones and a valuable life-extending elixir that Song Qingming suddenly took out, Bai Yunhua immediately showed a look of surprise on his face and hurriedly declined.< br>
The previous agreement with Song Qingming was that the two parties had agreed in advance to get what they needed. No matter whether Song Qingming could find any spiritual objects in the cave, Bai Yunhua would not suffer any loss from it.
< br>
Seeing that Song Qingming suddenly wanted to give him so many spiritual objects, Bai Yunhua was moved, but also a little embarrassed to accept them directly.
"Yesterday I was able to get a magic weapon that I had handy. You have done a lot of work and you really deserve to be rewarded. I always have a clear sense of grudges and grudges in my work. I don't like to take advantage of younger people. Just accept the things. That's it.
You have just moved to Baishi Ridge with your whole family, and you need spiritual stones everywhere. If these things are useful to you, there is no need to refuse. You can hold on for a while longer. It is also good for Jingyun.
Don't worry, fellow Taoist, these things are purely my personal thoughts. What I promised you before has nothing to do with it. I will definitely still take care of Jingyun's path in the future. "
Seeing Song Qingming say this, Bai Yunhua, who was still a little nervous, instantly relaxed. After a few words of evasion, he did not insist anymore and accepted the spiritual objects given by Song Qingming.
After the two exchanged a few words, just when Song Qingming was about to get up and send him away, Bai Yunhua took out a notebook from his body and handed it directly to Song Qingming with a respectful expression.
“This junior has practiced Taoism for so many years and has dealt with many high-level monks like my seniors. It is indeed rare to see someone as kind as you, Senior Song.
This time I was able to find my senior to take care of my funeral affairs. I really found the right person for my junior. Even if I have to live a few years shorter, he is still able to do it. An's.
Senior, these are some of my insights from studying ancient runes for many years. I don't know if they can be useful to you, so please accept them as a small tribute to me. "
"Oh! Even so, I will accept it first."
Hearing Bai Yunhua say that the code he took out was about those ancient runes, Song Qingming's eyes suddenly became more interested and he took the code from his hand directly.
Bai Yunhua has studied these ancient runes for many years, and is still much better than Song Qingming in this regard.
In the "Qinghe Cave" today, you will encounter these special ancient runes in many places. If you can learn more about them, it will definitely be of great use to Song Qingming when he enters the cave in the future.
Seeing that Song Qingming accepted his gift generously, Bai Yunhua felt much more at ease. Then he said goodbye to Song Qingming and returned to "White Lion Ridge" with Bai Jingyun with a happy look on his face.
After sending Bai Yunhua and his grandson away, Song Yuanfang immediately returned to the third floor of "Huixian Pavilion" alone and came to Song Qingming who was admiring the scenery outside the window.
"Uncle Seventh, Fellow Daoist Bai and the others have left!"
After turning around and nodding slightly to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming said directly with a calm face: "Yuan Fang, send a message to Qing Yu and ask her to send someone secretly Looking at the Bai family.
From now on, no matter who goes to the Bai family, or where Bai Yunhua goes out, you must record it and send it directly to the family every month. Just pick it up for me.
Remember, you need to find a reliable person to handle this matter secretly. Don't let Bai Yunhua see any clues easily. If there is any abnormal situation, you are not allowed to alert him immediately. Just tell me.”
As the chief steward of the Song family, Song Yuanfang has been able to help Song Qingming manage the family for many years, and he is naturally a very smart person.
From the beginning, Bai Yunhua brought his grandson to visit "Funiu Mountain" and asked to see Song Qingming alone. After the two had a secret conversation, Song Qingming suddenly announced that he would accept Bai Jingyun as his disciple.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from Song Yuanfang that Bai Yunhua and his ancestor should have reached an agreement in exchange for Song Qingming's care for his descendants.
But what exactly Bai Yunhua used to impress Song Qingming is not very clear to Song Yuanfang now.
Although Song Yuanfang is also very curious about this matter these days, he knows that Song Qingming doesn't like other people asking about him. If Song Qingming doesn't take the initiative to ask, he will naturally not ask more questions.
Hearing Song Qingming's sudden order, Song Yuanfang's face was a little surprised, but he did not show much doubts. He nodded directly and said: "Don't worry, seventh uncle, Yuan Fang understands. I will go there in a moment." Send a message to my aunt and Changze!”
"Well! There is one more thing that you need to do right away."
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a map with "Qinghe County" with a wave of his hand and spread it out in Song and Yuan Dynasties. In front of him, he pointed to a place above and continued to say:
"I want to build a cave here for practice. You can make arrangements as soon as possible and cultivate a spiritual vein outlet here first. Come on, the level doesn’t need to be too high, just a second-level low-grade spiritual vein is enough
Then let me know that no monks or mortals should come close within thirty miles, lest they disturb my practice
<. br>If there are other Immortal Cultivation Family properties nearby, let them move away, but remember to compensate them well, so as not to affect the family’s reputation.”
"It's just a second-level low-grade spiritual vein. This spiritual energy may not be enough for the seventh uncle's daily cultivation. Should we directly cultivate a third-level spiritual vein?"
Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to cultivate a second-grade spiritual vein on the barren mountain he pointed to. The low-grade spiritual veins were used for cultivation. Song Yuanfang's face suddenly felt puzzled, and he softly confirmed.
Hearing Song Yuanfang's reminder, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "The reason why I want to go there to practice is to absorb some of the water-attribute spiritual energy in Qinghe River.
Therefore. There is no need to waste too many spiritual stones , it’s enough to have a second-level low-grade spiritual vein that can give me a rest. There is no need to be too particular about other things.
You should handle this matter as soon as possible, and don’t make it public, lest too many people know about it. Interfering with my practice.”
"Yuan Fang understands, seventh uncle, don't worry, I will make arrangements right away."
After watching Song Yuanfang leave, Song Qingming's eyes moved to the map aside and locked on the location he had been pointing to, which was Bai Yunhua I took him to the "Qinghe Cave" yesterday.
After returning from the cave yesterday, Song Qingming has been thinking about how to cover up the cave that is very important to him in the future.
Although the location of "Qinghe Cave" is very hidden, in the past thousand years, only Bai Yunhua may have found it by relying on the guidance of the array disk in his hand.
However, there are many coincidences in the world. Since Bai Yunhua can find it, he cannot send anyone else to have this opportunity in the future.
After thinking about it for a long time, Song Qingming decided to let his family quickly cultivate a spiritual vein in the cave and control the surrounding territory first.
Lest monks or mortals approach there and discover the cave by mistake, causing unnecessary trouble for themselves.
After receiving Song Qingming's order, Song Yuanfang also took action immediately. He quickly arranged for family monks to go to the barren mountain designated by Song Qingming and begin to arrange formations to cultivate spiritual veins.
The barren mountain is located in a relatively remote location. There are no spiritual veins within a few dozen miles for the monks to stay. Only some mortals who depend on the river for a living will come close when they go out to fish and hunt.
Song Yuanfang did not spend much effort and asked the nearby immortal cultivating families to move all the surrounding mortals to other places.
It only took a few months to transform the originally sparsely populated barren mountain into a second-level low-grade spiritual vein that could provide monks with daily practice and residence.
After renovating this spiritual vein, Song Yuanfang arranged for more than a dozen family monks to station guards there and prohibit the surrounding monks and mortals from approaching.
In recent years, the Song family has developed rapidly, with more and more industries outside. It has already cultivated many spiritual veins in "Qinghe County".
For the Song family's sudden move to cultivate spiritual veins near Qinghe County, other immortal cultivating families in "Qinghe County" have long been accustomed to it and did not react much. They thought the Song family had found something nearby. Spirit mine.
After the Gao family, who was closest to this spiritual vein, heard about this, they even asked someone to go to "Funiu Mountain" to inquire about it, hoping to see if they could find an opportunity to cooperate with the Song family.
As a result, after Song Yuanfang found out about this matter, he became angry on the spot when he saw that someone from the Immortal Cultivation Family under his command dared to inquire about what the ancestor of the family had personally explained.
Not only did the Gao family's three-year dividends from "Chiyanfang" be directly deducted, they also sent people to "Lotus Mountain" to severely reprimand Gao Changjin, the head of the Gao family.
This time, everyone in the Gao family was frightened. Gao Changjin even hurriedly came to "Funiu Mountain" to admit his mistake. Only then did he win Song Yuanfang's forgiveness and did not continue to investigate the Gao family. 's fault.
Since then, not only the nearby Gao family, but also almost all the immortal cultivating families in "Qinghe County" no longer dare to inquire about matters related to this spiritual vein.
After the family had cultivated the spiritual veins, Song Qingming immediately went there.
During the day, he occasionally practiced above the Qinghe River. At night, Song Qingming took advantage of the darkness and entered the cave directly, and began to study how to open the rune passage on the mural.
However, he was a little disappointed that after several months, the runes on the mural still had not changed much, and Song Qingming still could not find a way to reopen the passage.
It was not until half a year later that a letter came from "Guyang Mountain" that Song Qingming temporarily gave up studying these and returned to "Funiu Mountain". (End of this chapter)
