Chapter 124 Yangshanfang
Before setting off, Song Qingming first handed over some of the clean Kung Fu books he had accumulated over the years to the family's Golden Pavilion and exchanged them for hundreds of spirit stones. Then he sorted out his cave and removed some of the unsavory items on his body. All the commonly used magic weapons and spiritual objects were given to several tribesmen on the mountain who were close to him.
Although Song Xinhu, the descendant of the Great Elder, has average spiritual talent, Song Qingming has always taken good care of him since he came to the mountain because of the Great Elder's relationship. This time, he generously gave him two middle-grade magic weapons, which can be used by those around him. Several fellow monks were very envious.
After settling the affairs on the mountain, Song Qingming went down the mountain and returned to his home in Mujiao Town for a few days to spend time with his mother and family.
In the past few years, except for one year when he left Qinghe County during the monster turmoil two years ago, he often went home to visit his mother.
It’s just that since my father left, it seems that because of the lack of someone to quarrel with, my mother, who has always been strong, has gradually lost a lot of words. She often likes to sit alone in the yard in a daze for several hours, and only occasionally faces a few people. When you have a lovely grandson, you will show a long-lost smile.
After dinner that day, Song's mother was lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard to bask in the sun. Song Qingming, who wanted to talk to her, saw her and simply moved a chair and sat next to her. The two of them were in the courtyard. One left and one right, but never spoke.
But compared to the peace exuding from his mother, Song Qingming's heart was really not calm enough. This trip was a little different than before. Some of the things he was going to face after arriving at Xiaoyao Sect were really out of his control, which also made him feel uncomfortable. He had always been a little uneasy.
"Are you going on a long trip again?"
Probably seeing some concern on Song Qingming's face, Song's mother suddenly spoke and broke the calm that had been maintained in the courtyard.
"Well! After going out this time, the time of return may be a little uncertain. It is estimated that it will take half a year, or it may be longer." Song Qingming replied calmly.
Mother Song's face changed and she said with a smile: "Just go, don't worry, I'm an old man and won't be able to wait for you to come back. The fortune teller told me last month that I am very lucky and can live to be eighty." , Don’t worry, I will definitely survive until the day you get married.”
"It's not that I'm not worried. I'm going on a long trip after all. Before I leave, I'll come back to see you so that I don't miss you too much." After Song Qingming finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.
"You! It is said that those who cultivate immortality should cut off their secular ties as early as possible. Why did I give birth to such an unworthy person like you? If your father were still here, he would inevitably say that I affected your cultivation.
I have also thought about it over the years. Maybe what your father said is right for you. After all, you are different from us. You have to go your own way after all. Mortals have to live in the memories of others in the end. Yes, it is also a blessing for me to be able to walk as quietly as your father in the future. "
"What the mother said is that the child understands!"
The two chatted in the courtyard for more than half an hour, until Mother Song fell asleep on the chair while talking. Song Qingming covered her with a blanket, got up and left.
After chatting with his mother for a while, Song Qingming gradually calmed down. He had to face what he had to face eventually. It would be useless to worry too much now. Let's wait until Xiaoyao Sect.
Returning to his room, he carefully took out the Water Spirit Fruit that he had stored for more than ten years. After leaving a note for his mother, Song Qingming quietly left his home.
——
A month later, in Yangshanfang at the foot of Guyang Mountain, Song Qingming, who was dressed in black and dusty with travels, handed over two spiritual stones at the gate of the city and successfully entered the largest city in the Wei Kingdom.
Guyang Mountain is the mountain gate of the Xiaoyao Sect. It is located in Guyang County of the Wei Kingdom. It is also the only fourth-level spiritual mountain in the Wei Kingdom. On this huge spiritual mountain spanning hundreds of miles from east to west, tens of thousands of Xiaoyao Sect monks live.
The scale of Yangshanfang is more than double that of Guiyunfang that Song Qingming has visited. Most of the industries inside are run by Xiaoyao Sect monks themselves, and only a few shops are rented out to casual cultivators.
After Song Qingming wandered around the market, he found an inn run by Xiaoyao Sect and stayed there.
Qinghe County is several counties away from Guyang Mountain. After Song Qingming left home, he walked south along the Qingshui River for seven or eight days, then turned to land for a few days and met a group heading to Yangshanfang. The caravan arrived here together with a companion.
Along the way, Song Qingming occasionally saw traces of some monster beasts at first, but after entering Guyang County, he never saw a monster beast again.
This place, which Xiaoyao Sect has been operating for thousands of years, has long since cleared away all the monsters and beasts in the territory. Mortals living here can be seen everywhere. Even if there is no formation to protect the place, they are not afraid of monsters and beasts. The attack of the demon cultivator.
Because of this, although Guyang County is far smaller in area than the other four counties in the Wei Kingdom, it has the largest population among the five counties. It is also the core area of the entire Wei Kingdom.
The people living here, whether they were monks or mortals, were very relaxed. After arriving at Yangshanfang, Song Qingming understood why the ancestors in the family had always been brooding about being forced to leave this place.
Yangshanfang is the largest city in the entire Wei Kingdom. Here, as long as you have enough spiritual stones, not to mention those second-level spiritual objects that are rare in other places, even the third-level spiritual objects used by Jindan monks Can be bought.
Song Qingming walked around the market for several days and found many good things that he had always wanted. He also accidentally found a centenary blue flower that his second sister Song Qingwan had always wanted.
In an ordinary grocery store, a clerk on the fourth level of Qi Refining held a two-inch puppet beast in his hand and kept showing it to Song Qingming.
What the clerk is holding is a top-grade giant bear puppet beast with average attack power but very strong defensive capabilities. It can also release a shield defense spell.
"It is indeed the largest market in the Wei Kingdom. I didn't expect that you can even buy first-class puppet beasts here."
Looking at the giant bear puppet beast in front of him, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a little moved. He has been practicing the Soul Forging Art for several years. Song Qingming's current soul is about twice that of monks of the same level. Now his consciousness controls two puppets. The beast should be a big problem.
Just because he has been in Qinghe County in the past few years, no one in Qinghe Square can make puppet beasts. The puppet beasts he has encountered are all low-grade puppet beasts with little use, and are of little use to him.
After asking about the price, Song Qingming hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, took out two hundred and forty spiritual stones, and put them into his storage bag.
After spending hundreds of spirit stones at once, Song Qingming had no choice to continue wandering, and turned around and walked back to the inn where he was staying.
As soon as he walked in, Song Qingming soon found someone in the inn looking at him, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Seventh brother, please wait for a long time. I can't help it. I live hundreds of miles away from Yangshanfang, so it took me a while."
The person speaking was none other than his third brother Song Qingze, whom he had not seen for many years. The reason why he appeared here was because he received a letter from Song Qingming a few days ago.
