Chapter 1150: Open Sesame

"What happened later?" He Lingchuan pursued. "What was the end of this White Bear King? Was it beheaded by the army, or did it escape?"

"In my impression, it seems there is no record in this regard." Sect Master Li was more cautious. "Let me go and check the sect classics."

He Lingchuan asked the key point: "That is to say, the White Bear King hasn't come out to hurt people since then?"

"It's hard to say, but at least since our sect was established, there has been no record of the White Bear King hurting people." Sect Master Li affirmed. "The time when that big demon appeared on Bai Mao Mountain was just around the Giant Deer Nation."

That is to say, after being seriously injured by the Giant Deer Nation's army, the White Bear King never made trouble again? He Lingchuan thanked Sect Master Li and proposed to buy two pieces of Zircon.

Bai Mao Mountain doesn't produce this kind of mineral, but disciples occasionally use it for refining tools, and shops at the foot of the mountain use it for jewelry. Sect Master Li ordered people to go to the warehouse to rummage, and soon picked out four or five pieces of Zircon and handed them to He Lingchuan.

Light green is the main color, and two pieces are of good quality, very much like diamonds.

Dong Rui was a bit puzzled: "What do you want this thing for?"

Zircon is not a precious gemstone, and it cannot be used as a main material for jewelry.

"Give it to someone."

"Give it to someone?" Dong Rui clicked his tongue twice. "That person's taste is really bad."

He Lingchuan was too lazy to fight with him: "Let's go, enter the mountain."

What is there to find in the Panlong world? He wants to hunt for treasure in reality.

The villages and roads in front of Bai Mao Mountain have changed beyond recognition compared to more than a hundred years ago.

Only the distant mountains remain unchanged, and the outline is still as clear as in He Lingchuan's memory.

Once in the mountain, it was He Lingchuan leading the way.

"The scenery here is good, but you are not here for sightseeing, right?" Dong Rui became more and more puzzled as he walked. "Hey, how do you seem to know this place so well?"

He Lingchuan walked with confidence. Sometimes there was clearly no road ahead, but he still cut the grass with his blade. Dong Rui thought they were going to hit a wall, but where did the willow dark flowers bloom, often with winding paths leading to secluded places.

How would someone who hasn't been here know where to go? He Lingchuan answered seriously: "I've been here in my dreams."

Dong Rui rolled his eyes.

Don't say it if you don't want to, which man doesn't have his own little secrets? However, He Lingchuan's words were immediately confirmed: he went the wrong way four or five times in a row, and had to turn back to find the way again.

This really can't blame him. The vegetation of Bai Mao Mountain 150 or 160 years ago was different from now. For example, this large area of pink grass in front of him, there must not have been any back then.

He Lingchuan looked around, looking for signs everywhere.

Soon, a few giant trees towering into the clouds came into view.

Giant cedar!

He had even set up a hammock on these few big trees.

So many years have passed, things remain but people have changed.

He Lingchuan muttered: "It should be not far from here."

These few giant cedars haven't changed much, still so tall, just a little thicker in the waist. However, the plants under the trees have changed who knows how many batches.

He Lingchuan stroked the big tree and climbed up in three or two strokes.

Only by climbing high can you look far.

Dong Rui was under the tree, seeing him holding his hand to his forehead and looking around, as if looking for something.

That's right, this guy must have been to Bai Mao Mountain before! After a while, He Lingchuan slid down the tree, pointed his blade to the east: "Follow me."

The two passed through the dense forest again.

There was no trace of people here, and the weeds were as dense as walls. Dong Rui followed He Lingchuan and walked, feeling that the foot feel had changed. Looking down, he saw patches of pebbles.

This kind of stone usually appears on the river beach. It seems that there was a stream flowing through the place they were stepping on.

This time He Lingchuan's forward direction was very clear, which was the location of the waterfall from before.

The two walked and walked, Dong Rui suddenly whispered: "Hey, we've been watched all the way, you know, right?"

He Lingchuan gave an *en*. When they left the Carefree Sect and entered Bai Mao Mountain, the mirror had already reminded him: there are eyes in the sky.

"Ignore it."

This feeling of being overlooked from the air started from Giant Deer Port. He and Jin Bai originally thought it was the brown crows sent by the Bo Nation palace to watch them.

It seems that it's not just brown crows.

Half a quarter of an hour later, they arrived.

He Lingchuan looked up a few times and couldn't help but sigh.

The waterfall was gone, he had discovered it on the top of the giant cedar.

Only a bare cliff remained here.

The water pool where the white bear once disappeared was now a forest, and the corners where the sun couldn't shine were full of ferns and red, white, and white mushrooms.

Only a hundred years later, it is a sea of mulberry fields.

He Lingchuan approached the former waterfall and brushed away the plants hanging above. Sure enough, there was a concave stone groove behind it, 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 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 Old Liu 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 Old Liu 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,
