Chapter 99 Return to the Mountain
After collecting Zhou Jintang's storage bag, Song Qingming realized that he had chased for more than ten miles and was already far away from the place where the battle had just taken place.
Song Qingming quickly walked back for an incense stick of time and came to the place where he and Zhou Jintang had fought at the beginning. The two of them had fought a fierce battle and the flowers, plants and trees here were in trouble, and trees fell everywhere.
Song Qingming searched in the grass nearby and spent a long time to find a blue ball. The ball was aqua blue with a small silver iron piece on it. It was the defensive magic weapon that Zhou Jintang had used before.
In the previous battle, Song Qingming used the silver iron piece to isolate Zhou Jintang's consciousness on the crystal ball, causing him to temporarily lose control of the magic weapon. Then the crystal ball was kicked away by Song Qingming and fell into the grass.
At that time, Song Qingming was chasing Zhou Jintang who was running away, so he didn't bother to find the magic weapon. Fortunately, it was not lost and was still here.
During the battle just now, Song Qingming also learned from Zhou Jintang the name of this magic weapon, "Thousand Water Ball". This item has outstanding defensive capabilities, especially against long-range attack methods such as talismans and hidden weapons.
After putting away this magic weapon, Song Qingming was very satisfied. In this battle, he killed Zhou Jintang, got the items worth thousands of spirit stones in his storage bag, and also got a magic weapon that he liked very much. How could he not feel very happy.
After a simple search of the scene again, after finding that there were no other missing items, Song Qingming attached a medium-grade magic talisman to himself, and left here quickly.
This place is not far from the edge of Yunwu Mountain. Song Qingming hurried on his way with all his strength, and successfully walked out of Yunwu Mountain in less than half a day.
Song Qingming did not choose to return to Qinghefang immediately, but went directly back to the family's Funiu Mountain. After killing Zhou Jintang, Song Qingming still had a trace of worry in his heart. He also knew from Chen Laodao that this person was a casual cultivator, and he was not very clear about his specific details and whether there were other backers behind him.
After arriving at Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming directly found the clan leader Song Gushan and told him in detail about this trip to Yunwu Mountain.
After listening to Song Qingming's account of what happened in the past ten days, Song Gushan was also surprised and surprised.
What was surprising was Song Qingming's experience on this trip, which almost cost him his life. What was happy was that Song Qingming was lucky. In the end, he turned the danger into a blessing and not only survived, but also got a lot of spiritual objects.
After thinking about it, Song Gushan quickly made a corresponding response plan.
First, Song Qingming was settled in the cave of the former great elder, and he was asked not to go out these days. Then the second elder Song Changfeng was sent to Qinghefang to inquire about Zhou Jintang's specific origins. Before Song Changfeng returned to the mountain, Funiu Mountain also began to enter a tense state, and no matter who the Song family cultivators were, they could not go down the mountain at will.
After Song Changfeng arrived at Qinghefang, he and his fourth uncle Song Changqiu inquired about the news of Zhou Jintang and Chen Laodao in the market, and finally got accurate information. These two people were casual cultivators from other places, and not many people in Qinghe County knew them.
A few days later, the news that Song Changfeng brought back from Qinghefang finally calmed Song Qingming's worries.
Zhou Jintang was indeed a casual cultivator. He had not been in Qinghe County for a long time. He only had a few ordinary casual cultivator friends in Qinghefang. His sudden disappearance did not attract the attention of these people. They all said that he had always said that he wanted to leave here before, and he should have left Qinghefang.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Chen did not return to Qinghefang. Before the operation, he had even checked out of the guest room he had been renting. People who knew him, including the waiter at the inn, did not know where he had gone. Song Qingming estimated that this slippery old man would definitely not return to Qinghefang. After all, he had so many spiritual stones on him. Whether it was Song Qingming or Zhou Jintang, the news might be leaked. Once people knew about it, it would definitely bring him a lot of trouble. Leaving Qinghefang directly was the best choice for him. He checked out of the room in advance, which seemed to mean that he had already prepared to leave at any time.
Zhou Jintang was dead, and Taoist Chen left Qinghefang again. This time, apart from himself, no one else in the market knew about the trip to Yunwu Mountain.
Song Qingming stayed in Funiushan for another half a month. After confirming that the matter had come to an end, the tension on the mountain was gradually relieved. Song Qingming also returned to his cave, but Song Gushan still asked him not to tell other cultivators in the clan about it.
To be on the safe side, the old patriarch asked Song Qingming to stay in Funiu Mountain for a while and not return to Qinghefang. He arranged for Song Qingwan, the second oldest of the Qing generation, to go to Qinghefang to take over the management of Song Qingming.
When he was still in the cave of the great elder, Song Qingming had already found a way to open Zhou Jintang's storage bag. As he expected, except for the second-level talisman he used, all the other things he had been allocated were in his storage bag.
During the trip to Yunwu Mountain, each of the three people was given spiritual objects worth thousands of spiritual stones. The second-level magic tools on Zhou Jintang's body would inevitably make ordinary foundation-building cultivators feel moved. Seeing these magic tools, Song Qingming gradually showed a smile on his face, and finally his efforts were not in vain.
In order to compete for cultivation resources in the world of immortal cultivation, many cultivators will lose their moral bottom line. Along the way, Song Qingming did not feel the malice of Zhou Jintang. Unexpectedly, this person was finally driven by his inner greed and chose to rob and kill his teammates. However, he miscalculated in the end and fell into Song Qingming's hands.
In Zhou Jintang's storage bag, in addition to the two most valuable second-level magic tools, there are many other spiritual objects and first-level magic tools, and thousands of spiritual stones, including a medium-grade spiritual stone. At that time, a total of three medium-grade spiritual stones were found in the storage bag of the predecessor, and each of the three people was given one. This should be the one that Zhou Jintang was given.
Song Qingming took out all the spiritual objects in Zhou Jintang's storage bag and checked them one by one. When he opened one of the white medicine bottles, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell.
The smell was very light, like a faint floral scent. After Song Qingming resealed the medicine bottle, he smelled it on himself and soon found a trace of the same smell on his shoulder.
When burying the body of the senior monk in the cave, Zhou Jintang did pat his shoulder, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It seems that he had left this smell on himself at that time, and he was followed by him all the way.
No wonder he didn't return along the original route at the beginning, and took a lot of detours in the middle. Although the direction was the same, it was no longer the same road, and Zhou Jintang still caught up with him accurately.
There was just one thing that Song Qingming hadn't figured out. Although the smell of this medicine was unique, it was very light. He couldn't figure out how Zhou Jintang could use this smell to determine his position. Could it be that he had practiced some special technique and his nose had become more powerful than a dog's?
But Song Qingming searched through his storage bag and couldn't find any such technique book. In the end, he could only shake his head and let it go. He could only wait until he had a chance in the future to ask someone how to use the thing in the bottle.
