Chapter 671: Gaining something, growing old (please subscribe)
Song Qingming had just returned to Funiu Mountain half an hour ago. He originally wanted to ask Song Qingyu where they had gone, but unexpectedly, through Song Yuanfang, he accidentally learned that the monsters from Northern Xinjiang had gone south in advance.
This time he went to the Donghuang Kingdom to cultivate immortality. It took Song Qingming almost twenty-six years before he was able to successfully return to the Fuyun Mountains to cultivate immortality.
Originally, according to his previous prediction, he should have come back a few years earlier, but because he later agreed to help Taoist Lingxu to continue practicing the exercises, he came back more than five years later.
On the way back to Weiguo, according to Song Qingming's estimation, it would be almost seven or eight years before the monsters from the northern border went south. Unexpectedly, he had just rushed back, and the army of monsters had already begun to gather in advance to move south.
Song Qingming was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect that he would arrive in such time, just in time for this battle that was about the fate of his family and the entire northern Wei Kingdom's human monks.
Facing Song Qingming's inquiry, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan immediately regained their serious expressions on their faces, and patiently informed Song Qingming of all the news they had received from the sect.
"You said that the Golden Feather Demon Emperor has disappeared and that Jin Yushan has changed its owner. Is this news true?"
After learning from Song Qingyu and Song that Jin Yushan had changed its owner, Song Qingming also showed a bit of surprise on his face and couldn't help but confirm.
When he went to the "Tongtian Tower", Song Qingming also saw the Golden Feather Demon Emperor with his own eyes. This person's cultivation level has reached the fifth level of Nascent Soul. According to calculations by human monks, his lifespan is far from the point where his strength has declined.
Logically speaking, with his strength and having been operating near Jinyu Mountain for thousands of years, he should not be so easily snatched away by other nearby demon kings. Song Qingming felt a little uncomfortable when he learned the news. Confidence.
“Master Uncle Li personally said this news during this meeting, and there is no doubt that it is not false.
Moreover, in the past ten years or so, many strange Northern Xinjiang monsters have suddenly appeared near Jinyu Mountain. They should have been brought by the new Black Dragon Demon King. "
Faced with Song Qingming's surprised expression, Song Qingyu and the others were not surprised at all, and quickly explained to him patiently.
Not only was Song Qingming so surprised, almost all of the elders from the Xiaoyao Sect who were present at the time, including Song Qingyu and the others, had such shocked expressions when they learned the news from Li Mufeng.
Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly with a solemn expression and said: "If this matter is true, then this monster turmoil is really not that simple, and we must make more preparations.
Qingyu, please immediately notify all the foundation-building monks outside the clan and return to the clan in two days to discuss matters.
Tomorrow I will go to the sect first to visit the head brother, and then stop by the Shanggong Pavilion to see if I can find some materials for refining the formation to strengthen the mountain protection formation at Jinshanfang. "
Knowing that such a big change had occurred in Jinyu Mountain in the north, Song Qingming also had some bad premonitions about the unrest of monster beasts in Northern Xinjiang that came in advance.
Although the territory of Weiguo suffered a lot of losses during the previous monster turmoil, due to the alliance with the Golden Feather Demon Emperor, the Nascent Soul monks from both sides did not participate in the war, and the war was always within the control of the Xiaoyao Sect. The losses were also ordinary mortals and low-level monks.
Now that a strange demon emperor has entered Jinyu Mountain, he will definitely no longer abide by the covenant of the previous generation of demon beasts. This time, if nothing unexpected happens, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor will definitely take advantage of the once-in-a-century turmoil in northern Xinjiang to lead the demon beasts under his command with all their strength. Go south and attack human territory.
After all, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor has just entered Jinyu Mountain and is eager to expand his territory and establish prestige among the many monsters under his command. This once-in-a-century monster turmoil is the best opportunity for the Black Dragon Demon Emperor to show off.
"Brother Qi, don't worry. I have already made almost all arrangements for Jinshanfang. My sister-in-law and I were a little worried at first. Now that you are back and the three of us are here, we will definitely be able to protect the family territory."
After seeing Song Qingming come back, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan have now swept away their previous worries, and are full of confidence that their family can survive the upcoming monster turmoil.
Song Qingming smiled and nodded, and then praised with relief: "Well! I have asked Yuan Fang before, you did a good job indeed, even if I fail to come back in time, you should be able to defend Jinshanfang. "
"Husband, this time you went to Donghuang Kingdom to cultivate the immortal world, did you successfully find the master who taught you the skills?"
Hearing Huang Siyuan ask about what happened to him, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "Well! Although this trip took a lot of time, it can be considered that the hard work paid off and I gained a lot."
Next, Song Qingming went to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" to cultivate immortality, and briefly talked about his experience with the two girls, including how he found "Yuxuan Island" and finally met Taoist Lingxu to deduce the skills. matter.
However, due to the rules of the "Taixu Sect", Song Qingming did not inform Song Qingyu and Song Qingyu of the sect's real name and location.
After learning that Song Qingming had obtained a newly introduced Nascent Soul Technique, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan also congratulated him with envious expressions.
After the three of them chatted for a while in the "Huixian Pavilion" about some of the trivial matters that had happened in the clan over the years, they each returned to the cave.
——
On the second day, Song Qingming walked out of his cave early and turned into a ray of light and left the Song family.
After leaving Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming did not go to Guyang Mountain first, but flew to the northeast. Soon, he arrived at the family market "Chiyanfang" not far away.
It has been more than 40 years since the Song family took the lead in building "Chiyanfang". Now there are many spiritual veins around "Chiyanfang" where cultivators and mortals live. It is no longer the original desolate mountains and wild ridges.
After so many years of hard work by the Song family, the prosperity of "Chiyanfang" has surpassed the nearby medium-sized markets such as Jinshanfang and Jianglingfang, becoming the largest market in the northeast of Weiguo.
After entering "Chiyanfang", Song Qingming did not appreciate the prosperity of the market too much, and came directly to the Xianfeng Building to the west of "Chiyanfang".
After standing in the hall at the door for a while, Song Qingming came directly to a private room on the second floor of the restaurant and knocked on the door gently.
After a while, the door opened automatically, and a somewhat neutral voice came into Song Qingming's ears.
"Junior Brother Song, why are you in such a hurry to see me when you just got home!"
Song Qingming was slightly stunned when he heard this voice, and then he walked into the private room.
Seeing a familiar figure in black sitting in front of him, Song Qingming bowed to him and sat down with a smile.
"Senior Sister Li, I came here to tell you that something happened at home and I can't get away for the time being. I'm afraid I can't send you to the East China Sea Xiuxian World.
These are some maps of the East China Sea that I bought when I traveled there. There are also detailed routes marked from Weiguo to the East China Sea Xiuxian World. With these, you should have no problem going to the East China Sea. Take them first."
This black-clothed cultivator was Li Xuanyi, the senior sister that Song Qingming recognized when he went to Donghuang Country this time, but at this time she had changed into the very pretty men's clothes that Song Qingming wore when he first met her.
Hearing Song Qingming's words, Li Xuanyi, who was sitting at the table enjoying delicious spiritual food, slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, picked up a picture book given by Song Qingming, opened it and took a look, and then directly put it into the storage magic tool on his waist.
"Junior Brother Song, what happened in your family? Can you tell me, maybe I can help you?"
"Haha! Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister Li. After returning home yesterday, I heard that the monsters in the north had already begun to gather and move south in advance. It is indeed not convenient for me to leave the clan at this time. I hope you can forgive me."
Li Xuanyi responded with some surprise: "Is the monster turmoil here coming so soon? No wonder I heard several casual cultivators talking about this in the market yesterday.
In this case, then don't I'm begging you. I'll go to the East Sea Xiuxian World first. When I get bored there, I'll come back to find you! "
"Yes! Now the monsters in the northern border are heading south, and the entire Fuyun Mountain Xiuxian World is about to start wars. Sister Li, you must hurry up and leave this area, otherwise it will be very dangerous if you get involved. "
"Okay, I know, you can go about your business, I will stay here for three to five days at most, and then I will leave. "Seeing Song Qingming's cautious expression, Li Xuanyi chuckled and nodded immediately to agree.
Seeing this, Song Qingming didn't stay any longer. After telling him a few more words, he got up and left the market, heading south to the "Guyang Mountain".
The reason why Li Xuanyi followed Song Qingming to Weiguo was also a coincidence.
A year ago, in the "Taixu Gate", with the help of the incarnation of Lingxu Taoist, Song Qingming finally lived up to expectations after some efforts and successfully deduced the "Qingyu Lianbao Jue", a technique he created, to the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
After leaving the retreat, Song Qingming, who copied the technique to Lingxu Taoist, found that several years had passed since he had said he would return to Weiguo.
Song Qingming, who was concerned about his family, took the initiative to go to Lingxu Taoist's cave to bid farewell to him in order to return to Weiguo as soon as possible, and prepared to set off to return to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range Xiuxian Realm in a few days.
Lingxu Taoist did not say much about this, but just casually told him a few words, and then turned to study the new technique that Song Qingming had just deduced.
Li Xuanyi, who was in Lingxu Taoist's cave at the time, suddenly took the initiative to find Song Qingming the next day after learning about this, and wanted to follow him to travel around the Floating Cloud Mountain Range Xiuxian Realm.
When faced with Li Xuanyi's request to go with him, Song Qingming did not hesitate too much. He refused Li Xuanyi's request on the grounds that the monster riot in the northern border was approaching and the war was too dangerous.
After staying in the "Taixu Sect" for so many years, Song Qingming also knew a little about Li Xuanyi's character. He knew that his senior sister was a restless person and often liked to travel around.
However, she and Song Qingming were in danger in Qingzhou last time and almost lost her life. Li Xuanyi's family elders and Lingxu Taoist were unwilling to let her go out alone in recent years. Song Qingming also knew a little about these things.
The monster riot in the Fuyun Mountains was about to come. When the war broke out, it would be very dangerous everywhere. Song Qingming really didn't dare to take Li Xuanyi to the Fuyun Mountains to take risks at this time.
After all, Li Xuanyi is the favorite disciple of his master Taoist Lingxu, and is deeply loved by Taoist Lingxu. If anything happens to her in the immortal cultivation world of Floating Cloud Mountains, it will be difficult for Song Qingming to go back and explain the matter to his master Taoist Lingxu in the future.
Seeing that Song Qingming had been refusing to agree, Li Xuanyi, although a little unhappy at the time, said goodbye and left without saying anything.
Song Qingming thought that the matter was over, but something happened again just the day before he left.
I don’t know what Li Xuanyi said to Taoist Lingxu. Taoist Lingxu, who was not very supportive of her traveling again at first, suddenly changed his mind and agreed to let her follow Song Qingming to travel near the Fuyun Mountains.
Faced with Taoist Lingxu, the mentor who taught him the skills and influenced his life, Song Qingming naturally did not dare to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and agreed to the matter.
Before the two left, Taoist Lingxu specially passed down a protective method to each of them, and told Song Qingming to help take care of Li Xuanyi along the way.
In this way, Song Qingming spent more than half a year cautiously along the way before taking Li Xuanyi across the "Rim-Sea Desert" and successfully arrived at Weiguo.
Originally, Song Qingming successfully brought her to Weiguo, which was regarded as completing the task entrusted by Taoist Lingxu. However, knowing that Li Xuanyi was more adventurous, Song Qingming did not dare to be careless.
On the way here, Song Qingming made an agreement with Li Xuanyi to send her to the "East China Sea Immortal Realm" for a tour first, and then arrange for her to come back after the turmoil between the monsters and beasts in the Fuyun Mountains is over.
Li Xuanyi's cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Golden Core, and he has the protective means given by his master, Taoist Lingxu. As long as he does not deliberately take risks in dangerous places, there should be no big problems. Song Qingming is aware of this. Not too worried.
After leaving "Chiyanfang", Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat" and turned into a ray of light and headed south.
Song Qingming, who was standing on the flying boat, looked at the familiar scenery in Qinghe County that had not changed much, and felt a little more emotional in his heart.
Even though the Song family was promoted to the Jindan Immortal Clan, which brought peace and stable development to Qinghe County for more than a hundred years, the once-in-a-hundred-year monster turmoil was still unavoidable for them in the world of Weiguo's immortal cultivators.
I don't know how many monks and mortals in the entire northern Wei Kingdom will die in this catastrophe that occurs once in a century.
After galloping all the way across Jiangling County, Song Qingming soon arrived at the foot of Guyang Mountain.
Not long after he entered the mountain gate, a white escaping light quickly flew towards his location. After a while, the headmaster Bai Yuxian, who was riding a white shuttle, appeared in front of Song Qingming.
"Senior Sister Bai, long time no see!"
Seeing Song Qingming in front of him bowing his hands, Bai Yuxian replied with a meaningful smile on his face:
"Junior Brother Song! There has been no news from you for more than 20 years since you left. I thought you were dazzled outside and reluctant to come back.
I don’t want to see you for many years, but your cultivation has already reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core. It seems that you encountered many opportunities during your trip to Donghuang Kingdom, which delayed your return! "
"Haha! Senior Sister Bai, don't make fun of me. Junior Brother, I have indeed gained something and gained a lot of knowledge during this trip. To be honest, I have to thank Senior Sister for her help, which allowed me to successfully avoid a lot of trouble. ”
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he cupped Bai Yuxian's hand and thanked her for reminding him of some things about "East Phoenix Country".
Seeing this, Bai Yuxian smiled and waved his hands and said: "You have already thanked me for what happened back then, so there is no need to be so polite anymore. Junior Brother Song, Uncle Li, please come over and come with me!"
When he heard that Li Mufeng wanted to see him, Song Qingming showed no surprise on his face. He immediately nodded and followed Bai Yuxian to Li Mufeng's cave.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the cave, Li Mufeng greeted them with a happy face and took the initiative to bring them into his cave.
As the Supreme Elder of Yuan Ying of the sect, Li Mufeng has been practicing in seclusion in his cave all year round. He rarely entertains guests here. After joining the Xiaoyao Sect for more than a hundred years, this is the first time that Song Qingming has entered the entire Guyang Mountain. In the cave where the spiritual energy is the most abundant.
Although Li Mufeng's cave was very spacious, there were not many things inside. Only some items looked very exquisite. The furniture made of high-grade spiritual wood was still very different from the grandeur that Song Qingming imagined. of.
After inviting Song Qingming and Song Qingming to sit down, Li Mufeng glanced at Song Qingming, nodded with a slight smile and said: "Not bad! I went out for a walk, and my cultivation has improved a lot.
I thought that the monsters from the Northern Territory would go south ahead of schedule. Qing Ming, you were far away in Donghuang Kingdom and it was too late to come back. I didn’t expect to receive the news of your return yesterday. This can be regarded as the spirits of the ancestors of the sect favoring our Xiaoyao Sect. "
In recent years, sudden changes have occurred in Jinyu Mountain, and the northern Xinjiang monsters have moved south in advance. The pressure faced by Xiaoyao Sect has also been increasing. At this moment, every additional power of Jindan monks in the sect will have a great impact on the battle situation. Big impact.
Seeing that Song Qingming, the elder of the sect's guest minister, not only returned to Weiguo in time, but also improved in cultivation, Li Mufeng felt a little more relieved at this moment.
"I lost track of time while traveling. I came back a little late this time. I hope Master Li won't be surprised." Hearing Li Mufeng's praise, Song Qingming quickly responded with some humility.
After hearing this, Li Mufeng waved his hands and said, "Traveling is to increase your knowledge and seek personal opportunities. This matter is related to your path. As an elder, how can I blame you casually!"
After the three of them sat down and chatted for a few words, Song Qingming suddenly stood up and took the initiative to ask:
"Uncle Li, when I came here, I heard from Qingyu that something happened in Jinyu Mountain, and the Jinyu Demon King has disappeared. The one who led the monsters to the south this time is the Molong Demon King who has just occupied Jinyu Mountain.
This monster turmoil may be more dangerous than before. I don’t know how the sect will arrange to deal with it next. Please give me some advice, Uncle Li."
"In fact, I have already arranged to deal with the monsters in Xiaoyao Palace yesterday. The Song family will be responsible for protecting Jinshan first. Fang, if there are other changes, the sect will inform you in advance.
Now that the monsters in the northern border have just moved south, the situation is still not very clear. Qingming, since you have just returned, don't worry too much about this matter. Take a good rest first. I will send you a letter if necessary! "
"Okay! I will obey the order of my uncle."
When Song Qingming heard Li Mufeng's summons as soon as he arrived at Guyang Mountain, he thought that Li Mufeng wanted to make some arrangements for him now, so he took the initiative to ask about it. Unexpectedly, Li Mufeng did not have this idea at the moment and bounced the words back to him.
Next, Li Mufeng only asked about Song Qingming's experiences outside in recent years, and did not mention the monster riots that were about to come. It was not until half an hour later that Song Qingming said goodbye and left his cave.
After leaving Li Mufeng, Song Qingming came to Yao Qianshu's cave, which was not too far away, and visited the former head of Xiaoyao Sect who was already seriously ill.
At this time, Yao Qianshu was already dying, his face was gray, and there was not much spiritual energy in his body. He could not get out of bed and could only lie on the bed and command his disciples to serve tea to entertain Song Qingming who had just returned.
Before Song Qingming left, he came to Guyang Mountain to report to Yao Qianshu, the head of the sect. Although he was already old at that time, he was still very energetic.
Unexpectedly, in just over 20 years, he, a Jindan peak cultivator with a great reputation in Weiguo, has become an ordinary mortal who is old and in his twilight years.
Although he has been suffering from illness for many years, Yao Qianshu was very happy to see Song Qingming suddenly come to visit him at this moment, and kept asking about his experience after going out for these years.
Although he had already handed over the position of head to Bai Yuxian and had not walked out of the gate of his cave for several years, Yao Qianshu still knew some of the difficult situations that the sect now needs to face through his disciples.
It's just a pity that he doesn't have much time left and no longer has the ability to help the sect through the difficulties. Although he feels regretful, he is powerless and can only lie on the hospital bed and sigh about this matter.
Seeing Song Qingming rush back to the sect in time, Yao Qianshu was also very relieved. After caring about Song Qingming for a while, he opened his mouth and told him to be careful in the next battle with the monsters.
Facing Yao Qianshu, the head brother who has worked hard for the sect all his life, Song Qingming has always respected him very much. His face is also a little touched by his relationship and advice. (End of this chapter)
