Chapter 560: Rest in peace
This mysterious black-robed man was the leading six-level golden elixir demon cultivator who escaped from a battle with Song Qingming and others in the canyon the day before.
After the four of them entered the Babel Tower that day, they happened to be near the teleportation array where Song Qingming and others were riding. After teleporting over, they soon discovered Song Qingming and others who were searching for spiritual objects below the canyon.
These demon cultivators thought they had a powerful formation and could hunt down Song Qingming and others after setting up traps. They did not expect to underestimate their strength, nor did they expect that there was a third-level formation master like Song Qingming among them. Just lost my hand.
The young man called Master by the men in black robes exuded an aura that had clearly reached the Nascent Soul realm. This man was the Nascent Soul Old Demon, the Black Wind Ancestor, who had been powerful for thousands of years near the Fuyun Mountains.
After hearing the explanation of the man in black robe, the Black Wind Ancestor glanced at the other party with a pair of cold eyes, and then asked with an unhappy face: "When I just contacted you, Lao Liu and Yu Long had no reaction, I'm afraid The physical body should have been destroyed.
At this time, no matter whether it is the human race or the demon race, the masters with names have basically come up. What kind of powerful people have you encountered that can make you look like this? "
"Why has even the physical body of the Sixth Junior Brother been destroyed?" Hearing Ancestor Black Wind say that two of his companions had not escaped, although the man in black robe did not change much on his face, he still felt a little surprised in his heart.
Another sixth-level golden elixir demon cultivator who was surrounded by Song Qingming and others was not much worse than him. After knowing the news, the black-robed man also felt a little fear in his heart at this moment. Apparently they underestimated it at the beginning. The strength of Song Qingming and others.
"The other party. There is no particularly powerful person among them. There are just a few more people than me. Later, they broke the Xuanyin formation we set up, which made us lose."
"Hmph! You four are acting together, and you can still be beaten like this by a group of casual cultivators. What a bunch of losers!"
Hearing the angry scolding of the Black Wind Ancestor, the man in black robe could only stand aside with his head lowered and an embarrassed look on his face, not daring to say anything more!
Seeing the black-robed man being scolded, another disciple who had been standing behind the Black Wind Ancestor chuckled lightly and said, "Master! Do you want me and senior brother to go down and see if we can Can’t find these people.”
"Forget it! I came here specially with the Tongtian Token this time. How can I waste time here? Don't worry about it for now. Just let me go!"
"Oh! Master, Junior Brother Cao hasn't arrived yet, should we wait for him any longer!" The man in black robe heard that the Black Wind Ancestor was about to set off now, and asked again with some confusion on his face.
After glancing at the other party, the Black Wind Ancestor shook his head directly and said: "It's been so long since I've come here. This kind of trash is of no use up there. Don't worry about him. If it wasn't for you to be of some use, I'm afraid now It should be the fourth floor!”
Seeing that the Black Wind Ancestor had made a decision, the man in black robe immediately nodded respectfully and followed him.
Outside another valley filled with red smoke on the third floor, Huofeng and Longfeng were standing above the valley, observing the situation inside the valley through the red mist in front.
"Your Highness, this smoke is quite strange. I just walked in and tried it. This smoke can actually corrode my body-protecting gas. I'm afraid it may be a bit dangerous."
Huofeng nodded with a smile on his face: "This place is so protected and restricted. It seems that no one has successfully entered yet. The guy hasn't come up yet. We are fine now, so let's go in and take a look!"
"I don't know how long it will take for that boy to come up, otherwise I will go down to find him and bring him here directly, so as not to delay His Highness's important event!"
"No need. Most of the Nascent Soul monks who entered the tower are probably still on the third floor now. I just want to avoid them, so I'm not in a hurry. Let's wait here for a few days before we go up."
After Huofeng finished speaking, he landed directly on the ground. After casting a red shield, he walked directly into the red mist in front of him.
Because most of the monks were still concentrated on the first and second floors not long after they came in, it was still easy to meet other monks in the tower. After Song Qingming and others had been hanging out on the second floor for just a few days, they met several A monk searching for treasure in the tower.
Those who can reach the second level so quickly are basically Jindan monks with some strength. After meeting each other, as long as they find someone they are not particularly familiar with, everyone will observe each other from a distance and then leave quickly. .
Except for the group of demon cultivators they met on the first day, after encountering a wave of crises, Song Qingming and others did not encounter any major dangers in the following days, but their luck was not that good either. They went to several places where there might be spirits. The place where the objects were found was either taken advantage of by someone else, or there were only some second-level or lower spiritual objects, and nothing good was found.
On this day, following the guidance of the map in Zhao Mengli's hand, several people came to a hill full of low trees, hoping to find a place recorded on the map where spiritual objects might be found.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, is that the place you mentioned?"
After hearing Zhang Tieyang's shout, everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and immediately discovered a dozen tall stone pillars not far from the foot of the mountain!
After seeing those stone pillars, Zhao Menglian was happy, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad! That should be right there."
After hearing the words, everyone immediately smiled and turned into rays of light and ran straight down the mountain.
As soon as they approached the stone pillars, Song Qingming saw what looked like a human figure lying under one of the stone pillars. When everyone took a closer look, they discovered that it was a monk wrapped in a blue robe who had been dead for many years and turned into bones.
After seeing the corpse, Zhao Menglian sighed slightly and said: "This white bone still has a strong aura attached to it. It seems that this person was also a golden elixir monk with a high level of cultivation in his life, but I don't know why. Fallen here?"
"Alas! It's a pity that the storage bag on this man's body has already been taken away by others, leaving nothing for us." After Jin Ziyuan stepped forward to check the body, he shook his head and turned away. return.
Seeing the disappointment on Jin Ziyuan's face, Qingluo Zhenren couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha! Fellow Taoist Jin is thinking too well. I'm afraid it must have been thousands of years since this person fell here. During this period, the Tongtian Tower has not been able to survive." It has been opened two or three times, how can it be that we are the only ones who have been here?”
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, even the Golden Core cultivators can fall here. I'm afraid it's not easy to get in. Does the map in your hand indicate what kind of restricted protection there is?"
Compared with the white bones, Yun Xinhe was more concerned about what kind of danger was hidden behind the stone pillar.
Hearing the other party's question, Zhao Menglian shook his head and said: "The sect's manuscripts don't record much about this place. They just marked it. No one has actually broken in."
"So, there should be a lot of good things here. If you can break in easily like the previous places, it's probably a place that has been frequented by people who want to find good things here. , you have to go to places that are inaccessible to ordinary people.”
"Fellow Daoist Jin is right. The person who died here was not necessarily killed by the restrictions inside. It is also very possible that he fell here after being attacked by others after coming out. We don't need to be too nervous! "
While several people nearby were discussing how to get in, Song Qingming, who had nothing to do, looked at the white bones under the stone pillar and couldn't bear it, so he summoned Jinfeng and commanded him to dig a hole directly in the open space next to him, trying to find the other person. Bury it.
Just when Jinfeng had just picked up the white bone, Song Qingming suddenly felt a white ball the size of a walnut falling from the hollow mouth of the white bone.
After Jinfeng carefully caught the ball, he glanced at it briefly, then quickly put it away, and continued to put the bones into the newly dug pit with a normal expression.
"Haha! Fellow Taoist Song is really a kind-hearted person, I'm so ashamed!" After seeing Jinfeng come back after burying the bones, Master Qingluo on the side praised him with a smile on his face.
When Song Qingming heard this, he immediately waved his hands modestly and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingluo is joking. I just watched this person die and no one collected his body here. I couldn't stand it, so I did it casually!"
Zhao Menglian also nodded and said: "We cultivators will inevitably die one day. I just hope that we can meet a kind-hearted person in the future and bury ourselves in three feet of loess. No, As for being buried in the wilderness for thousands of years like this fellow Taoist!"
"Fellow Taoists, we are not here to lament these things. We should go in quickly, lest someone comes looking for us later."
Hearing Jin Ziyuan's urging, Song Qingming and everyone laughed, put away Jin Feng and followed everyone towards the middle of the two stone pillars.
Just after passing through the two outer stone pillars and entering this group of tall stone pillars, this originally calm and silent place suddenly began to blow with a gust of wind, and then a group of black clouds quickly gathered in the sky. This area is all covered.
After sensing the changes in their surroundings, everyone quickly released a magic shield. Zhao Mengli and Yun Zhonghe, who were walking in front, waved and summoned another defensive magic weapon to surround themselves.
Just as they were getting ready, a very frightening thunder suddenly sounded from the two stone pillars and rushed straight into the black clouds high in the sky. Not long after, more than a dozen seemingly powerful thunders fell from the high altitude and directly towards everyone from the sky. Coming from here.
When everyone saw this, they immediately activated their magic shields with all their strength, and each received several lightning bolts.
"Hehe! This lightning looks scary, but it doesn't seem to be very powerful at all!"
Before Jin Ziyuan could be happy for a moment, several thunders sounded from several surrounding stone pillars, flying into the black clouds above everyone's heads. A moment later, hundreds of thunders fell from the sky.
