Chapter 208 Meeting an old friend again
After walking around outside, when Song Qingming returned to Funiu Mountain, the beautiful morning light had already appeared on the snow-white sky.
Looking at the mortals of the Song family who had lived and thrived for hundreds of years near the family's spiritual mountain, Song Qingming felt that sometimes he was not as carefree as an ordinary mortal.
At the beginning, I thought that as long as I improved my cultivation and had some ability to protect myself in the world of immortality, I would have nothing to worry about.
It was only now that he slowly discovered that as his cultivation level improved, his needs would also become greater and greater. If he wanted to successfully improve his cultivation level, he would often need to take some risks.
Many times, you can't predict these dangers in advance. Just like when he went to the Fuyun Mountains with the Huang family, although he also guessed that there would be some trouble, he would never have thought that they would In one trip, he actually provoked a demon king of the Jindan level, and he was also targeted by a big shot of the demon clan like Huo Feng.
More than ten days ago, when Huang Shengyue came to Funiu Mountain to invite Song Qingming to the secret place of Taihu Lake, Song Qingming made up his mind at that time and did not want to go to such a dangerous place to wade through the muddy waters.
The reason why he didn't refuse in person at that time was because of the relationship between the Huang family and the Song family, and it was really hard for him to refute Huang Shengyue's face in person.
After experiencing the feeling of being controlled by someone at any time in the Fuyun Mountains, Song Qingming was really scared. After coming back, he wanted to live a peaceful life for a few years. He would never go to such a dangerous place unless absolutely necessary.
However, this was not what people wanted. After Song Qingming came back from Xiaoyao Sect, when he was about to write a letter to the Huang family to tactfully evade the matter, the arrival of Huofeng completely tied him to the matter. .
After only five years of peace of mind, Song Qingming had to worry about putting his head on his waist again. Song Qingming was really miserable.
Yesterday, when we arrived at Huang Family Taiyuan Mountain, Song Qingming pretended not to want to go when he first met Huang Shengyue. It was not until Huang Shengyue tried hard to persuade him again that he finally reluctantly agreed to the matter.
Then Song Qingming took the opportunity to inquire in detail about the secret realm of Taiyue Lake with Huang Shengyue again, so as to prepare for his next actions.
After all, the Huang family is a foundation-building family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. They have entered the secret realm many times before and after, and rarely make mistakes, and they are already very familiar with it.
According to Huang Shengyue's description, the secret realm of Taiyue Lake is a huge valley, divided into two parts: inner and outer.
Generally, monks from families like the Huang family search for spiritual objects in the outer valley. Those rare treasures that Huang Shengyue mentioned back then can be found in the outer valley as long as they are lucky.
As for the inner valley, no one from the Huang family has ever entered it in all these years. Naturally, they don’t know what kind of strange spiritual things are there.
According to what Huang Shengyue told him, only Xiaoyao Sect and several other large nearby sects had a fixed way to enter the inner valley.
When they go in, they just need to stay in the outer valley with peace of mind. If they randomly wander into the inner valley and encounter those large sect monks, even a master in the foundation building stage like Huang Shengxin will have a hard time surviving.
After all, this secret realm is only opened once every few decades. Every time at this time, large sects like Xiaoyao Sect will send many foundation-building masters to enter it. If one of them accidentally offends them, even if you are a ninth-level foundation-building monk, you will not be able to enter it. It is also difficult to survive.
After returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming quickly locked himself in the cave. Fortunately, there were still several months before the secret realm of Taiyue Lake, so he still had time to prepare for himself in advance.
A few months later, in Taiyue Hufang City, a man in Tsing Yi was sitting by the second-floor window of a restaurant, looking down at the crowds of people coming and going below.
"In the past few days, there have been many strange foundation-building monks in the city. It seems that the time for the secret realm to be opened will come soon."
The man in Tsing Yi picked up a cup of spiritual tea and was about to put it in his mouth when suddenly a beautiful red figure appeared on the empty seat next to him.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I haven't seen you for many years, and I didn't expect to meet you here. Could it be that you are here for the secret realm as well?"
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm so polite. I've been to Guyang Mountain many times to look for you in the past few years, but I didn't get what I wanted. It turns out that Friend Daoist is here."
Song Qingming looked at the familiar red figure with a very surprised face. He did not expect that Xu Ziyan, who he had gone to find several times but could not see, would appear in front of him like this.
"Fellow Taoist, I have misunderstood. I have often been away on sect missions over the years and have rarely returned to Guyang Mountain. It is normal for me to have missed it. I only followed the sect's arrangements to come here not long ago."
"I see. Speaking of which, I've had some bad luck in the past few years. I haven't even met a Taoist friend once." Song Qingming nodded in sudden realization.
Xu Ziyan smiled, blinked and said softly: "Fellow Daoist Song has only been building the foundation for more than ten years, and he has already reached the third level of foundation building. How can you be a person with bad luck? You are too modest."
"Having said that, compared to fellow Daoist Xu, my cultivation level is barely acceptable. Speaking of which, I was able to build the foundation back then because of your blessing. I have been wanting to repay you all these years, but I have never had the chance. "If Fellow Daoist Xu is in need in the future, I hope he can remember that Song will not refuse as long as he can do anything within his power." After saying that, Song Qingming bowed his hand towards Xu Ziyan.
"Fellow Taoist Song is too polite. We are all cultivators. It is normal to support each other. Fellow Taoist and I have known each other for many years since we were in the Qi Refining Period. How can we use so many courtesy." Xu Ziyan smiled and waved to Song Qingming, Then he asked: "Fellow Daoist Song, are you here alone this time?"
"With my low cultivation level, how can I dare to come here alone to join in the fun? I came with the Huang family in Taiyuan Mountain this time, but I came early. I have been bored these past few days, so I went out alone to walk around. , I didn’t expect that it was fate, and I happened to meet Daoist Xu. When you appeared here today, all the monks of the Xiaoyao Sect should have arrived. I wonder if the time for the opening of this secret realm is coming soon. "
Song Qingming knew that Xu Ziyan was trying to find out the details of this time, but he came under the guise of the Huang family and was not afraid that this kind of thing would spread, so he generously exposed all the monks of the Huang family.
The main purpose of his coming here this time is not for some rare spiritual objects. Once he enters the secret realm, as long as he can cooperate with the fire phoenix and save his own life, he will be done.
As for Xu Ziyan appearing here, she did not answer. Song Qingming also knew in her heart that she was here on behalf of the Xiaoyao Sect. Although Xu Ziyan's cultivation was only at the fourth level of foundation building, as a foundation building monk who had not used foundation building pills , the strength will definitely be better than that of monks of the same level. Song Qingming will not be surprised at all that she will appear in the team of Xiaoyao Sect.
There are many foundation-building monks who came to the secret realm of Taiyue Lake this time. People with cultivation levels like Song Qingming are usually not alone, but are more or less organized. They have lower cultivation levels and can only use this kind of cultivation. Only by holding together to stay warm can you survive inside more easily.
