Chapter 92 Black Stone Gate

One day later, on a small mountain outside Qinghefang, Song Qingming and Chen Laodao were meditating and resting on the mountain.

After returning to his residence yesterday, Song Qingming thought about it again and again and decided to agree to Chen Laodao.

The next day, Song Qingming left a letter at his residence, writing down everything about his and Chen Laodao's exploration of the ancient monk's cave. If anything happened to him this time, the Song family would know about him in the future. Where did it go.

After Song Qingming packed his luggage, he took a month's leave from his fourth uncle Song Changqiu and asked him to continue helping to manage the shop here.

Song Changqiu saw that Song Qingming had just returned from Funiu Mountain and was going on a long trip. He was a little worried about his safety and couldn't help but ask him a few questions.

However, Song Qingming had previously promised Feng Laodao not to tell others about this matter. Faced with Song Changqiu's concern, Song Qingming could only deal with it with a haha.

Song Changqiu has been around the market for so many years, and his ability to read people must be extraordinary. Even if Song Qingming didn't say it, he probably guessed that Song Qingming's trip this time must be related to the old Taoist priest who came to see him a few days ago.

Seeing that Song Qingming refused to tell him directly, Song Changqiu did not continue to ask. He also saw that Song Qingming had made up his mind to go out this time, so he could only nag a few words to remind him to pay attention to safety on the road.

Wang Cheng has also grown a lot in the past few years. Basically, all the large and small matters in the store can be left to him. The fourth uncle only needs to take time to come and visit occasionally. Song Qingming is relatively relieved about this.

Song Qingming and Chen Laodao waited on Xiaotu Mountain for almost two hours when a middle-aged Taoist wearing a green cloak came here.

Seeing this person, Chen Laodao, who squinted his eyes, suddenly brightened up. He stood up and faced this person and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is here. Let me introduce you to him. This is the person I told you before." Fellow Daoist Song.”

When Song Qingming heard Old Taoist Chen introducing himself, he stepped forward and said hello to the fellow Taoist surnamed Zhou.

The middle-aged Taoist named Zhou Tangjin is a casual cultivator who has only come to Qinghefang in the past few years. He is also the helper specially invited by Chen Laodao this time.

After Zhou Tangjin glanced at Song Qingming, he did not speak, but nodded slightly. His cultivation level was higher than that of Song Qingming and Chen Laodao, and he had reached the eighth level of Qi refining.

After Chen Laodao introduced the two to each other, the three of them headed east towards Yunwu Mountain under his leadership.

Yunwu Mountain is not too far from Qinghefang, and it only took the three of them two days to reach Yunwu Mountain.

Yunwu Mountain is located to the west of Qinghefang and is the collective name for a huge mountainous area spanning Qinghe, Pingyang and Gucang counties.

In this area, there are high mountains and dense forests, rampant monsters and monsters, making it difficult for mortals to survive. Except for some nearby monks who come to hunt monsters, basically no one will come here.

Although the Yunwu Mountain is not as dangerous as the Fuyun Mountain Range, there are many monsters in it, and there are even second-level monsters in the depths, so it is not a safe place.

Since Yunwu Mountain does not have as many exploring monks as the Fuyun Mountain Range, it is indeed not unusual for Chen Laodao to find some ancient monk caves.

It's just that it's not necessarily certain whether there is anything in the caves of such ancient monks. After entering, the monks may become rich overnight, or they may be empty after opening. In general, most of the caves of the senior monks have more or less things. Most of them have something, and of course whether it is good or bad depends on the luck of the person who enters.

After walking for two more days in the Yunwu Mountain, the three of them arrived at the foot of a mountain hundreds of feet high.

The peaks of this high mountain are extremely high and stand out from the surrounding mountains. The surrounding mountains are very steep, as if they were cut with knives. Except for birds, it is estimated that ordinary beasts will find it difficult to climb up.

The three of them used the technique of lightening their bodies to jump left and right on the rocks. It took them a while to reach the top of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, despite the steep cliffs at the bottom of the mountain, the terrain on the top of this high mountain is very flat, with many tall trees and flowers, and a scene of lush green leaves.

Chen Laodao and Song Qingming walked for half an hour in the forest on the top of the mountain, and soon arrived at a simple stone cave.

At first there was still a glimmer of light, but as the three of them went deeper into the ancient cave, it soon became pitch black.

Chen Laodao walked at the front. After walking more than ten feet, he waved his sleeve and released a ball of flame, which quickly illuminated the situation in the cave clearly.

The cave is four to five feet in diameter. There is a black stone door directly in front, with several stone platforms on both sides, and a pile of messy books and bamboo slips on them.

Seeing that the stone door was tightly closed and there was no sign of damage on the surface, Old Taoist Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It seems that no other monks have discovered this place yet. As long as we open the stone door, we can enter the cave." ”

Seeing that Song Qingming was looking at the books and bamboo slips that fell on the ground, Chen Laodao said to him again: "Fellow Taoist Song, there is no need to look at them. Those on the ground are all useless low-level exercises and the senior's diary notes. They are useful." I took a few of them away last time.”

Song Qingming nodded upon seeing this, and then shifted his gaze to the closed stone door.

Along the way, I heard Chen Laodao say that this senior monk's cave was accidentally found when he came here to pick elixirs more than 20 years ago.

The restrictions set up outside the cave are relatively simple and were removed by Chen Laodao twenty years ago.

But after arriving here, facing this dark stone gate, Chen Laodao worked hard for several months but failed to shake this restriction, so he had no choice but to leave here temporarily.

A few years ago, Chen Laodao relied on the spiritual objects found in the cave outside to improve his cultivation to the late stage of Qi refining.

Chen Laodao came back here again, but unfortunately the restrictions on the black stone gate were indeed a bit sophisticated. Chen Laodao tried all kinds of methods in the past few years and tried several times but still failed to break the restrictions, so he finally gave up his exclusive rights. This treasure found Song Qingming and others.

Song Qingming looked carefully at the dark stone door and found that except for a strange rune carved on the top of the stone door, there was nothing unusual elsewhere.

"How about Fellow Daoist Song, have you seen any secrets coming out? Are you sure you can break this restriction?"

Seeing Song Qingming staring at the black stone door for a long time without saying anything, Chen Laodao couldn't help but ask.

Song Qingming looked back at the two of them and said: "Who can arrange such profound restrictions to guard the cave. It seems that this is indeed the cave of a foundation-building senior. It will take a lot of effort to break the restrictions on the stone door. Two I need to restore my mana first, and then I need to ask you two for help."

Upon hearing that there was a way, Chen Laodao and Zhou Jintang also showed joy on their faces. They quickly took a pill of recovery and sat down to restore the magic power in their bodies.

Song Qingming took out six formation flags from the storage bag and inserted them at six angles around the stone gate, and then took out a gray circular formation disk.

After the two people next to him recovered their spiritual power, Song Qingming raised his eyebrows and said:

"Two Taoist friends, with our current cultivation level, we cannot forcefully break the restriction on the stone gate. We can only rely on formations to change the pattern of the restriction and weaken the power of the restriction. Next, I have to work hard to help me maintain it with magic power. Formation."
