Chapter 747: The mural changes dramatically, everyone takes what they need (ask for monthly votes)
Song Qingming, who was standing by and waiting, heard Bai Yunhua's exclamation and immediately walked towards the mural.
After approaching, Song Qingming found that the original landscape on the mural had been replaced by another somewhat similar pattern, and the runes on it were also reduced by more than half compared to before, with only a dozen left.
"This, could it be that I just took away the incomplete picture and triggered some restrictions inside, and the mural also changed?" After seeing this new mural, Song Qingming was also a little more surprised.
Before being teleported out, Song Qingming had not felt any spiritual power fluctuations inside.
But the moment he put away the incomplete picture, the teleportation was immediately activated, as if it was because he took away the incomplete picture that the teleportation restriction was instantly triggered.
Seeing Song Qingming coming over, Bai Yunhua stood aside and explained with surprise: "Senior, I have come here many times before, but I have always seen the original pictures and runes. This is the first time I have seen this pattern.
Just now, I tried it, but I can't activate these runes with my magic power. It is completely different from before."
Glancing at Bai Yunhua, seeing that the other party did not seem to be lying, Song Qingming nodded slightly with a solemn expression and said: "Brother Bai, please let me try first."
Hearing this, Bai Yunhua immediately took the initiative to leave the front of the mural and gave his position to Song Qingming, standing aside and watching humbly.
After carefully scanning the mural, Song Qingming directly opened his palm to cast a spell and cast a spiritual light, covering one of the runes.
Although Song Qingming's understanding of these runes is not as good as Bai Yunhua's at present, as a high-level formation, it is not difficult for him to learn how to cast and operate these runes.
After completely covering the rune with his own magic power, the entire rune immediately lit up with a spiritual light.
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately increased his mana and began to control the rune's rotation position, trying to open the restriction switch on it. This was also the method used by Bai Yunhua before.
As long as the rune above is activated and adjusted to the correct direction, the corresponding channel on the mural can be directly opened.
Bai Yunhua, who was standing by, saw that Song Qingming had activated the rune, and a trace of joy immediately appeared on his face, thinking that Song Qingming should be able to open the channel smoothly next.
But the next situation surprised both of them.
Song Qingming, who had already activated the rune, tried his best to use his maximum mana, but only slightly moved the position of the rune, and it was difficult to shake it any further.
After trying for a long time, seeing that it still didn't work, Song Qingming had no choice but to give up and retract his own mana.
Then, Song Qingming found another rune on the mural again, cast a spell and tried the steps just now again, but the result was still the same, and the restriction on the rune could not be operated at all.
In this way, it took another whole stick of incense to try out the dozen runes one by one. As a result, without exception, he could not operate any of them.
Seeing this, Song Qingming, who had little mana left, could only stop trying.
"Senior Song, although this rune is different from the previous one, I think the method of operation should be correct, but it seems to be much more difficult than before.
This is really strange. I have been here so many times before, and the rune restrictions above have never changed like this. How come it suddenly becomes so powerful all of a sudden."
When Bai Yunhua operated the previous rune restrictions, although it also consumed a lot of mana, it was far less difficult than it is now.
After trying for so long, Song Qingming himself felt that the restrictions on these runes were much stronger than he had originally imagined.
Although he could slightly shake the runes with his full strength, it was obviously still insufficient to operate the restrictions to open the channel.
Song Qingming estimated in his mind that if he wanted to operate the rune restriction smoothly, he would probably need a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul stage.
Seeing that Bai Yunhua beside him also saw it, Song Qingming nodded gently and said, "It seems that the restriction on the rune is indeed much more difficult than before. It is unlikely to enter again now.
No problem, let's go out first. I found a useful magic weapon today, so it's not a wasted trip. I will try it myself next time I have time!"
Although he knew that this cave was related to the fragmentary map in his hand, he was eager to find the remaining fragmentary map, but now facing this mural, Song Qingming was a little helpless at the moment.
After thinking for a while, he still shook his head helplessly and planned to leave here first and try again next time when he had time.
Bai Yunhua also said before that the runes on the mural would change position every time he came in. Maybe after a while, the mural would be restored to its previous appearance, so that Song Qingming would have the opportunity to operate the rune to reopen the passage.
After practicing for so many years, Song Qingming also knew that some things should not be rushed. Since he had no way to get in at the moment, he could only wait until later.
Anyway, this cave is in "Qinghe County" and is only a few hundred miles away from the family's sacred mountain. It is easy for him to come again, and there is no need to rush.
After thinking it through, Song Qingming immediately turned around and walked directly to the exit of the hall without hesitation.
Bai Yunhua, who was standing aside, followed him without saying much.
Even Song Qingming, the Jindan ancestor, had no way, so Bai Yunhua naturally didn't want to try again.
For him, bringing Song Qingming to this cave and helping him get a good magic weapon had already fulfilled the agreement.
Bai Yunhua had searched the remaining passages before, but there was nothing useful in them. Whether the other party could enter or not had nothing to do with him, so he was naturally happy to go back earlier.
Not long after, Song Qingming and the two left the cave along the same path and returned to the water.
After coming out, Song Qingming did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he controlled the "Phantom Boat" and took Bai Yunhua around in a circle, and then returned to the sky above "Qinghe".
Then Song Qingming turned around and said seriously to Bai Yunhua behind him: "Fellow Daoist Bai, to be honest, I am indeed somewhat interested in this cave.
After leaving today, you must promise me one thing. You must not mention anything about this cave to anyone else. You should be able to do this! "
When Bai Yuhua heard this, he immediately nodded respectfully and said: "Since this junior in the cave has been given to the senior, it is naturally impossible to mention this matter to other people.
Please rest assured, Senior Song, that this junior has never mentioned this cave to anyone before, even the descendants of my family are unaware of it. "
"Yeah! That's good, but I've always been more cautious in my actions, and I don't want to cause any trouble for myself in the future. Fellow Daoist Bai, do you understand what I mean?"
"Well, senior, don't worry. This junior is willing to swear on his soul that he will never reveal anything about this cave to anyone after leaving here today."
Seeing that Song Qingming's eyes were staring at him with some worry, Bai Yunhua was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted, and then took the initiative to make a spiritual oath to keep secrets in front of Song Qingming.
In order to show his sincerity, Bai Yunhua also took out a soul contract from himself, wrote the oath, and then took out a drop of his blood essence and dripped it on it. He made a life and death contract with Song Qingming, and voluntarily handed over his life to Song Qingming. Song Qingming's hands.
Seeing that the other party took out a soul contract, Song Qingming was slightly surprised. It seemed that Bai Yunhua had thought of this before coming and was already prepared for it.
After getting the other party's soul contract, Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, and then took Bai Yunhua and transformed into a white escaping light directly back to "Funiu Mountain".
Several hours had passed from the time they left to the time the two returned, and the setting sun on the horizon had already sunk beneath the distant mountain tops.
After returning to "Funiu Mountain" and seeing that it was getting late, Song Qingming asked Song Yuanfang to directly arrange for Bai Yunhua and his grandson to live there, and asked them to wait until tomorrow to return to "White Shiling".
In response, Bai Yunhua did not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.
After a night's rest, Bai Yunhua and Bai Jingyun had just gone out early the next morning. They were about to say goodbye to Song Yuanfang and leave, but they bumped into Song Yuanfang who came to the door.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, ancestor please go to the top of the mountain."
"It was Patriarch Song who invited me over?" When he heard from Song Yuanfang that it was Song Qingming who was looking for him, Bai Yunhua was a little surprised on his face.
Before returning from "Qinghe Cave" yesterday, I had already sworn the oath in person. For a while, I didn't quite understand what Song Qingming wanted to do with me at this time.
"That's right, it's the seventh uncle who wants to talk to fellow Taoist about something. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to come with me quickly!"
After receiving the confirmation, Bai Yunhua nodded without asking any more questions. He followed Song Yuanfang to the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain and met Song Qingming who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Yuan Fang, please take Jing Yun down and sit down for a while. I want to have a few words with fellow Taoist Bai alone."
After meeting and saying hello, Song Qingming asked Song Yuanfang to take his disciple Bai Jingyun to leave the hall on the third floor first, and then asked Bai Yunhua to sit aside.
"I don't know why Senior Song came to this junior. If there is anything I need to do, senior, please give me direct instructions."
Seeing that Bai Yunhua in front of him seemed a little nervous, Song Qingming quickly smiled and waved his hand and explained: "Fellow Daoist Bai misunderstood. I have nothing else to do with you today. I just have two things to give you."
After saying that, Song Qingming took the two jade boxes prepared on the table beside him and put them directly into Bai Yunhua's hands.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what's inside is a second-grade middle-grade life-extending pill. I refined this pill myself from the Song family. It should be able to help you add at least a few more years to your life.
There are also three thousand spiritual stones. Think of it as the spiritual stones that I bought from you for that magic circle. Fellow Taoist, please be sure to accept them and don't be polite to me. "
"Well... Senior Song is being polite. Senior has already promised to take care of Jingyun in the future. This junior has no merit and no salary. How can I have the nerve to accept senior's things? I hope senior will not be so polite to me."
Seeing the thousands of pieces of spiritual stones and a valuable longevity elixir that Song Qingming suddenly took out, Bai Yunhua immediately showed a look of surprise on his face and hurriedly declined.
In the previous agreement with Song Qingming, the two parties actually agreed in advance to get what they needed. No matter whether Song Qingming could find any spiritual objects in the cave, Bai Yunhua would not suffer any loss from it.
Seeing that Song Qingming suddenly wanted to give him so many spiritual objects, Bai Yunhua was moved, but also a little embarrassed to accept them directly.
"I was able to get a magic weapon yesterday. You have done a lot of work, and you really deserve to be rewarded. I always have a clear sense of grudges and grudges in my work. I don't like to take advantage of younger people. Just accept the things.
Now you have just moved to Baishi Ridge with your whole family, and you need spirit stones everywhere. If these things are useful to you, there is no need to refuse them. It will also be good for Jingyun if you can persist for a while.
Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that these things are purely my personal thoughts. What I promised you before has nothing to do with it. I will definitely still have to take care of Jingyun's path in the future. "
Seeing what Song Qingming said, Bai Yunhua, who was still a little nervous, instantly relaxed. After a few words of evasion, he didn't insist anymore and accepted the spiritual objects given by Song Qingming.
After the two exchanged a few words, just when Song Qingming was about to get up and send him away, Bai Yunhua took out a notebook from his body and handed it directly to Song Qingming with a respectful expression.
"This junior has been cultivating Taoism for so many years and has dealt with many high-level monks like seniors. It is indeed rare to see someone as kind as you, senior Song.
This time I was able to find my senior to take care of my funeral affairs. I really found the right person for my junior. Even if I lose a few years of my life, I can still feel at ease.
Senior, these are some of my insights from studying ancient runes for many years. I don’t know if they can be of use to you, so please accept them as a small tribute from me to you. "
"Oh! Even so, I'll accept it first."
Hearing Bai Yunhua say that the code he took out was about those ancient runes, Song Qingming's eyes suddenly became more interested and he took the code from his hand directly.
Bai Yunhua has studied these ancient runes for many years, and is still much better than Song Qingming in this regard.
Nowadays, in the "Qinghe Cave", you will encounter these special ancient runes in many places. If you can know more about them, it will definitely be of great use to Song Qingming when he enters the cave in the future.
Seeing that Song Qingming accepted his gift generously, Bai Yunhua felt much more at ease. Then he said goodbye to Song Qingming and returned to "White Lion Ridge" with Bai Jingyun with a happy look on his face.
After sending Bai Yunhua and his grandson away, Song Yuanfang immediately returned to the third floor of "Huixian Pavilion" alone and came to Song Qingming who was admiring the scenery outside the window.
"Seventh Uncle, Fellow Daoist Bai and the others have already left!"
After turning around and nodding slightly to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming said directly with a calm face: "Yuan Fang, send a message to Qing Yu and ask her to send someone to watch the Bai family secretly.
From now on, no matter who goes to the Bai family, or where Bai Yunhua goes out, you must record it and send it back to the family directly to me every month.
Remember, you need to find a reliable person to handle this matter secretly. Don't let Bai Yunhua see any clues easily. If there is any abnormal situation, you are not allowed to alert him. Just inform me immediately. "
As the chief steward of the Song family, Song Yuanfang had been able to help Song Qingming manage the family for many years, and he was naturally a very shrewd person.
From the beginning, Bai Yunhua brought his grandson to visit "Funiu Mountain" and asked to see Song Qingming alone. After the two had a secret conversation, Song Qingming suddenly announced that he would accept Bai Jingyun as his disciple.
In fact, it is not difficult for Song Yuanfang to see that Bai Yunhua and his ancestor must have reached some agreement in exchange for Song Qingming's care for his descendants.
But what exactly Bai Yunhua used to impress Song Qingming is not very clear to Song Yuanfang now.
Although Song Yuanfang was very curious about this matter these days, he knew that Song Qingming didn't like other people asking about him. If Song Qingming didn't take the initiative, he wouldn't ask more questions.
Hearing Song Qingming's sudden order, Song Yuanfang's face was a little surprised, but he didn't show much confusion. He nodded directly and said: "Seventh uncle, don't worry, Yuan Fang understands. I will send a message to my aunt and uncle in a moment." Changze and the others!”
"Well! There is one more thing that you need to do right away."
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he waved his hand and took out a map with "Qinghe County" on it, spread it out in front of Song Yuanfang, then pointed to a place on it and continued to say:
"I want to build a cave here for cultivation. You should make arrangements as soon as possible. First cultivate a spiritual vein here. The level does not need to be too high. It is enough to have a second-level low-grade spiritual vein.
Then I informed him that no monks or mortals should approach within thirty miles, lest they disturb my practice.
If there are other immortal cultivating family properties nearby, let them move away, but remember to compensate them well, so as not to affect the family's reputation. "
"It's just a second-level low-grade spiritual vein. This spiritual energy may not be enough for the seventh uncle's daily cultivation. Should we directly cultivate a third-level spiritual vein?"
Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to cultivate a second-level low-grade spiritual vein for cultivation on the barren mountain he pointed to, Song Yuanfang suddenly felt puzzled on his face and softly confirmed.
Hearing Song Yuanfang's reminder, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "The reason why I want to go there to practice is to absorb some of the water-attribute spiritual energy in Qinghe River.
Therefore, I don’t need to waste too many spiritual stones. I just have a second-level low-grade spiritual vein that can give me a rest. There is no need to be too particular about other things.
You should handle this matter as soon as possible and don't make it public, lest too many people know about it and disturb my practice. "
"Yuan Fang understands, seventh uncle, don't worry, I will make arrangements right away."
After watching Song Yuanfang leave, Song Qingming's eyes moved to the map beside him and locked on the location he had been pointing to, which was the "Qinghe Cave Mansion" that Bai Yunhua had taken him to yesterday.
After returning from the cave mansion yesterday, Song Qingming had been thinking about how to cover up the cave mansion that was very important to him in the future.
Although the location of the "Qinghe Cave Mansion" was very hidden, in the past thousand years, it was probably only Bai Yunhua who found it with the guidance of the array plate in his hand.
However, there are many coincidences in the world. Since Bai Yunhua can find it, it is impossible to send other people to have this opportunity in the future.
After thinking about it for a long time, Song Qingming decided to let the family quickly cultivate a spiritual vein near the cave mansion and control the surrounding territories first.
In order to avoid that some cultivators or mortals approaching there and accidentally discovering the cave mansion, it would bring some unnecessary trouble to themselves.
After receiving Song Qingming's order, Song Yuanfang took action immediately and quickly arranged for the family cultivators to go to the barren mountain designated by Song Qingming and began to arrange the formation to cultivate the spiritual vein.
The location of the barren mountain is relatively remote. There is no spiritual vein for cultivators to stay within dozens of miles around. Only some mortals who rely on the river for a living will go near when they go out fishing and hunting.
Song Yuanfang did not spend much effort to ask the nearby immortal cultivation families to move all the mortals around to other places.
It only took a few months to transform the original barren mountain with few people into a second-level low-grade spiritual vein that can provide cultivators with daily practice and residence.
After the reconstruction of this spiritual vein, Song Yuanfang arranged more than a dozen family cultivators to station there to guard and prohibit the surrounding cultivators and mortals from approaching.
In recent years, the Song family has developed rapidly, and there are more and more industries outside. Many spiritual veins have been cultivated in "Qinghe County".
The other immortal cultivation families in "Qinghe County" had already gotten used to the Song family's sudden action of cultivating spiritual veins near Qinghe, and did not react much. They thought that the Song family had found some spiritual mines nearby.
After hearing about this, the Gao family, which was closest to the spiritual vein, sent someone to find an opportunity to go to "Funiu Mountain" to inquire about it, hoping to see if there was an opportunity to cooperate with the Song family.
As a result, when Song Yuanfang learned about this, he was furious when he saw that someone from his immortal cultivation family dared to inquire about the things that the family ancestor had personally told him.
Not only did he directly deduct the Gao family's three-year dividends from "Chiyanfang", but he also sent people to "Lotus Mountain" to severely reprimand Gao Changjin, the head of the Gao family.
This scared everyone in the Gao family, and Gao Changjin hurried to "Funiu Mountain" to admit his mistake, which won Song Yuanfang's forgiveness and did not continue to investigate the Gao family's mistakes.
Since then, not only the Gao family nearby, but almost all the immortal cultivation families in the entire "Qinghe County" dared to inquire about the spiritual vein at will.
After the family cultivated the spiritual vein, Song Qingming went there immediately.
During the day, he occasionally practiced in the sky above Qinghe. At night, Song Qingming took advantage of the night to enter the cave and began to study how to open the rune channel on the mural.
However, he was a little disappointed that after a few months, the runes on the mural still did not change, and Song Qingming still did not find a way to reopen the channel.
It was not until half a year later that a letter from "Guyang Mountain" came that Song Qingming temporarily gave up studying these and returned to "Funiu Mountain". (End of this chapter)
