Chapter 469: Building a Cave
"Where is the evil spirit of Guiyuan?" Song Wen asked.
An Tong asked, "Senior, do you have a chart?"
Song Wen turned over his hand and took out a jade slip. After injecting magic power, a phantom of a sea map appeared in the sky.
An Tong pointed to the upper left corner of the chart, where there was nothing but sea water.
"Here, there is an underwater reef island. On the east side of the reef island, there is a mausoleum, and the evil spirit of Guiyuan is in the mausoleum."
Song Wen frowned slightly, "Underwater reef island? The reef island is located under the sea water. How can we determine its location?"
Antong said, "There are three islands hundreds of miles around the reef island, and the reef island is in the center of the three islands."
Song Wen glanced at the three small islands on the chart and nodded.
"How did your father know that there is a mausoleum on the underwater island?"
An Tong said, "My father was invited by a friend to explore the tomb before he was alive, but he eventually died of the evil spirit in the tomb."
"Then, has your father told you the specific situation in the tomb? Or is there a map of the tomb?"
An Tong shook his head and said, "No. When my father came back, his body was filled with evil energy and his life was in danger. He didn't mention any information about the tomb."
Song Wen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, An Yin, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"No, there is a sketch that I saw when I was sorting out my father's belongings."
An Tong looked at her sister in surprise, obviously unaware of this.
"Where is the sketch?" Song Wen asked.
"It was burned together with my father's other relics." An Yin replied, "But I can remember it."
Song Wen took out a pen and paper from his storage ring and said, "Draw it."
An Tong took the pen and paper and glanced at the empty cave. There was no table, so he could only lie down on the ground and start drawing.
It must be that their father did not explore the entire tomb. The sketch drawn by An Tong was very simple, with only a few strokes.
Only part of the tomb passage and the left and right side chambers are drawn, and there is no information about the main chamber.
Their father may not have entered the main room, or he may have encountered the evil spirit of Guiyuan as soon as he entered the main room and was forced to withdraw.
From the sketch, there was not much information available, but Song Wen could roughly judge that the tomb was not dangerous to him.
After all, a foundation-building monk can approach the main chamber of the tomb, how dangerous can it be?
Song Wen shot a burst of magic power and shattered the sketch.
"This matter cannot be mentioned to outsiders." Song Wen said solemnly.
"Senior, don't worry. As long as senior doesn't drive us away, we will never leave this island in this life, and no fourth person will know about this." An Tong said.
"That's very good."
Song Wen moved to a corner of the cave, took out the "One Line Formation of Stars", and after carefully calculating the directions of the stars, he began to arrange the formation.
Two hours later, night had fallen.
Suddenly, a dazzling silver light beam lit up from the jade plate and shot into the sky.
About a quarter of an hour later, the light beam gradually became fainter, but it did not completely dissipate, but loomed in the air.
When outsiders see this light pillar, they know that this island is owned by the owner and will not enter without permission.
"From today on, the two of you will live in this cave. You can get the birds, beasts and elixirs on the island by yourself, or you can open a spiritual garden and plant them by yourself. In short, I will control your daily life and cultivation. We will not interfere. However, you cannot leave the island at will.”
An Tong looked at Song Wen in surprise. She never expected that Song Wen would give them such great freedom and authority.
"Senior, don't you live in this cave?"
Song Wendao said, "I will open another cave. As for where it is, you don't need to know. The only thing you have to do is to keep an eye on the "Star Line" for me. If someone summons me, you must notify me in time."
With that said, Song Wen threw over a jade slip of communication.
An Tong took the jade slip and said, "What if the senior happens to be not on the island and cannot receive the summons?"
Song Wendao said, "Then you will send a message every once in a while until I receive it."
"Yes, senior."
Song Wen nodded, turned around and left the cave.
He came to the sky above the island, planning to find a suitable place and open another cave.
The cave on the cliff is too eye-catching. If one day a powerful enemy comes to seek revenge, the enemy will be able to spot the cave at a glance.
As for the An Tong sisters, they can divert the enemy's attention and buy time for Song Wen to escape.
After Song Wen observed it for a long time at high altitude, he plunged into the sea again.
He plans to live on this island for a long time, so he naturally needs to know enough about it.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Wen emerged from the water. He had found his favorite place to build his mansion - the west side of the island and the backside of the cave dwelling of the two girls An Tong.
The entrance to the cave is located at the bottom of the cliff, among the rocks hit by the water waves.
It took Song Wen three hours to finally dig out the cave.
The entrance to the cave is very small, only as high as a person, and is just hidden by the towering rocks and turbulent waves.
The passage behind the entrance is narrow and slopes upward. As you move forward for a while, your eyes suddenly become clear.
This is a spacious cave a few miles in diameter.
In order to avoid being blocked by enemies in the cave, Song Wen opened two other ways out of the cave.
One slopes downward, deep into the sea.
One goes straight up to the top of the mountain.
Neither of the two passages has been completely opened, and both have retained rocks about ten feet thick.
The cave has begun to take shape, and the next step is to attract the earth veins and enhance the spiritual energy here.
After carefully calculating the direction of the earth veins, Song Wen took out four green formation flags and a formation plate as big as a bronze mirror.
He wanted to set up the "Spiritual Pivot Illusionary Vein Formation", which was a second-level formation and was not very advanced. It could only slightly change the direction of the micro-earth veins.
Jiyin Island was only a few dozen miles long, and the "Spiritual Pivot Illusionary Vein Formation" was enough. Of course, Song Wen could not set up that kind of extremely complex earth vein formation.
Song Wen had already obtained the formation flags and formation plates of the "Spiritual Pivot Illusionary Vein Formation" when he was still in the Beast Taming Sect. He thought that this formation was somewhat useful, so he never sold it.
Suddenly.
The entire Jiyin Island began to tremble slightly, the sand and stones on the ground jumped, and the sea water rolled. It seemed that there was an invisible force surging deep underground.
"Buzz!"
A low and long voice came from deep underground.
"What happened?" An Yin asked her sister beside her with a panicked look.
An Tong shook her head, her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her eyes were full of worry.
She and her sister had just received Song Wen's blessing, and they didn't want any more changes to happen.
"Hey! The concentration of spiritual energy in the cave is rapidly decreasing." An Yin said in surprise.
An Tong suddenly thought of a possibility in her heart and said.
"It may be the senior's doing."
An Yin said, "What is the senior doing? Why doesn't he live in the same cave with us?"
An Tong said, "Don't guess what the senior is thinking, we just need to follow his orders. The senior can give us sisters a place to stay, which is a great opportunity for you and me."
An Yin sighed, "I didn't expect that there are good people like the senior in the world of cultivating immortals."
What the two women didn't notice was that in a corner of the cave, a tiny poisonous insect was hiding in a gap, peeping at them.
