Chapter 1149: Invalid

This layer of surging water curtain passed quickly. Behind the waterfall was a small space, only about six or seven square meters.

He Lingchuan took out a fluorescent spore and held it high.

Behind was the waterfall flowing water, and in front was the green stone wall!

The stone wall was one piece, basically smooth, with only a groove two palms wide, but there were no traces of artificial excavation. He Lingchuan used his eyes to search around, and pressed in the groove for a long time, but didn't find any camouflage.

But what about the bear? Such a big white bear king, it disappeared after walking here? This big guy wouldn't disappear out of thin air, so the black wolf was right, there must be a secret passage or a cave behind the water curtain! He Lingchuan searched around for a long time, but didn't find the so-called opening mechanism.

But above the groove, he found a bloody bear paw print.

The White Bear King did indeed escape from here.

He Lingchuan pressed a few times on this blood print, but the stone wall didn't give him any response.

He turned the handle of the *Fusheng* blade and knocked on the stone wall a few times.

The echo was very dull, this big rock was solid.

So digging a hole was useless.

Is this place guarded by Gold Essence? He Lingchuan thought for a while and walked out of the waterfall.

However, just as he walked out of the water pool, Hu Min and Menban brought the Panlong guard team and ran over, seeing He Lingchuan and asking: "Boss, are you okay?" The brothers on night watch heard the beast roar here, and He Lingchuan didn't return for a long time, so they came to look for him. As a result, when everyone walked to the stone beach and looked, *wow*, a ground of wolf corpses and blood stains.

Menban thought these were all killed by He Lingchuan, but after checking the wounds, they looked like they were caused by wild beasts.

"Okay. I saw the White Bear King." He Lingchuan said concisely. "It entered the waterfall and disappeared."

Everyone was surprised and drilled into the waterfall to check.

He Lingchuan counted for them. After counting to the sixtieth number, they came out dejectedly, one by one wet.

"Didn't find it."

"The boss didn't find it, what's the use of you knocking for so long?"

"There is no secret passage behind the stone wall, so it is... a small world?" A-Luo brushed the wet hair from his forehead. "That's troublesome. Not everyone can enter a small world."

"Otherwise, the big white bear wouldn't have fled here, it just wanted to hide from the Giant Deer Nation's pursuit."

Hearing this, He Lingchuan remembered the Asking Tree on the ruins of Lingxu City.

Its small world was hidden in a spring eye and required the Daoist token of the Eastern Departure True Person to open. Even if others swam there a thousand times, they couldn't enter the underground.

The White Bear King hid in the small world behind the waterfall, just determined that no one could find it.

He Lingchuan didn't have anything to bribe the Gold Essence in his hand, so he could only give up.

Not long after, it was dawn.

The Panlong team took Lu Laoliu out of the mountain, passing by the location where the fireworks were released last night.

It was like a tornado had passed through, trees broken, stones overturned, and mud everywhere.

There were traces of dragging everywhere on the ground. Grass leaves, stones, gravel, and tree trunks were all covered in large clumps of dark black, which was dried blood.

Monster and human corpses could be seen everywhere, some twisted together until death, very difficult to separate.

The crow flock had been attracted by the bloody smell and couldn't be driven away.

Such battlefields were not just in one place.

They passed through three battlefields one after another, all the same.

At least a thousand dead, and monster corpses were countless.

The Panlong team had been on the battlefield for a long time and had crawled out of the pile of dead people, but they still paused when they walked here, sighing.

The White Bear King's combat power was indeed extraordinary.

To completely eliminate the monster disaster, the Giant Deer Monarch was willing to pay such a great price.

Before leaving Bai Mao Mountain, He Lingchuan saw Wang Gesheng again, although he only glanced at him from a distance on the opposite hillside.

Wang Gesheng also saw him and waved at them.

After experiencing a night of bloody fighting, the boy was still intact, but his left arm was broken and fixed to his chest with branches.

Even He Lingchuan felt that his luck was really good.

After leaving Bai Mao Mountain, the Panlong team rode to Giant Deer Port, dropped off Lu Laoliu halfway, and He Lingchuan also went to the Wang family inn to inform Wang Wei that Wang Gesheng was safe and had made contributions.

Wang Wei was overjoyed and took a lot of wine and food from the kitchen to give to He Lingchuan and his party as food on the boat.

This ordinary innkeeper must not have expected that his son would be able to open a sect in the future and achieve a hundred-year sect.

Early the next morning, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui went to find Sect Master Li of the Carefree Sect.

His question was very strange: "Does anyone else know the password for the Bright Lamp?"

"This password has been passed down from generation to generation in our sect. For fear of loss, the Sect Master and at least three elders know it, and it must be recorded in the secret scroll."

He Lingchuan asked: "Where is the secret scroll hidden?"

"In my study." Sect Master Li said. "There are restrictions there. Once someone approaches, I will know it myself."

He Lingchuan nodded and asked: "Then, can the past passwords and red ropes be used?"

This question was a bit tricky. Sect Master Li was stunned for a moment before saying: "We have actually tried it. The red ropes used in the past can be used, but the passwords from the past cannot."

"That is to say, the red ropes used in the past, combined with the current password, can also summon the Bright Lamp Grass?"

"Yes."

"Will the password change every time?"

Sect Master Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it changes every thirty years, this is the ancestral instruction."

He Lingchuan pondered for a moment: "Then, where are the red ropes used in the past stored? There should be four of them."

"They are also in my study, but there are only two."

Dong Rui asked casually: "Why are there only two?"

"It's been more than a hundred years, and our sect has also encountered successive changes. It's not easy to survive to this day." Sect Master Li smiled bitterly. "I don't know why, but there are only two left when it was passed to me. I picked the Bright Lamp thirty years ago and left another one, so there are two in total."

That's right. What kind of place is the Glittering Gold Plain? Among the forces surviving here, how many can last for a long time?

Things remain but people change, things change but people remain, this is the norm.

It was Sect Master Li's turn to ask: "Is Special Envoy He suspecting that someone stole the Bright Lamp in advance?"

That's not right either, the Bright Lamp was stolen after the Shadow Tooth Guards took it from the mountain.

"Nothing, I just asked casually." He Lingchuan smiled. "Can we go into Bai Mao Mountain for a walk?"

"Of course you can, I'll find you a guide." Bai Mao Mountain is a forbidden area of the Carefree Sect, but if the Cloud-Turning Envoy wants to go, the forbidden area becomes a tourist resort.

"No need." He Lingchuan waved his hand. "We'll just walk around by ourselves."

Sect Master Li naturally had no objections.

He Lingchuan was about to turn and leave, but suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, has Sect Master Li ever heard that a White Bear King appeared on Bai Mao Mountain? It was powerful and ate countless people, and even the government couldn't deal with it."

"Oh yes, that was more than a hundred years ago."
