The Dharma Instrument

Jiang Jingyuan rushed out of the space crack and landed among a pile of broken stones. His body was unstable and he stumbled while holding the lantern and fell into the stones and soil.

She guessed right!

The condition for entering this spatial crack should be the breath of a ghost or something like that - the ghost she saw when she opened her eyes in the cave had left traces on her body!!!

She didn't know what this trace was, but she had this lantern. This lantern was watered with ghost blood, so it probably had all the necessary auras. So she decided to give it a try...

Fortunately, she guessed right.

The white-gray sand and dust rose up like smoke, standing out against the gloomy environment.

However, Jiang Jingyuan didn't care about the dust now. She clenched a dagger in her right hand, turned around and stabbed it fiercely in the direction she came from!

“Puff——”

A sticky, soft feel and a terrifying and disgusting sound were heard.

A faint green liquid slowly flowed out from the gap between the silver-white sword blade and the gray-white skin, flowing down the wrinkled face...

The ferocious expression on the old woman's face, half of her body emerging from the spatial crack, froze instantly, gradually becoming dull and incredulous...

Its eyes widened, its mouth opened wide, a twisted look of fear and unwillingness fixed on its face, it struggled to retreat, to escape—

But they all turned into a grayish-white death at an extremely fast speed.

Jiang Jingyuan suddenly pulled back the dagger in his hand, and the dark green liquid splashed and fell on the invisible barrier around Jiang Jingyuan and the surface of the gorgeous lantern, splashing out dark green enchanting flowers, which were absorbed in an instant.

The barrier around her was still invisible and colorless, the lantern in her hand was still gorgeous and beautiful, everything was the same as at the beginning.

The girl in white grabbed the gray collar of the old woman who fell to the ground with her left hand and pulled it out of the space crack.

Making the best use of things, the "rat" corpse can also be used to light a lamp - although I don't know whether this lantern has any effect on other ghosts, she had killed it with great effort after all, so it would be a pity to just throw it away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan poured the dark green liquid gurgling from the wound on the corpse into the flame in the lantern wick.

It was poured for a long time until it was full, but the dark green liquid flowing out of the "rat" corpse did not become dark and turbid, and was still fresh and fluorescent green.

Jiang Jingyuan paused for a moment, then calmly and decisively stuffed the lantern and the "rat's" corpse into the silver storage ring.

There was no way. She had so few magical weapons now that she had to treat any scrap she picked up as a treasure.

Putting all this away, Jiang Jingyuan quickly stood up from the ground, swallowed a green pill, and looked around.

There were no lights on the grayish-white, poorly carved stone path. Only a faint, warm light flickered in the distance in one direction, dimly illuminating the stone path.

Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a while. She seemed to have followed the direction of the blue light, and then fell into the ice cellar and almost couldn't get out.

Despite what she was thinking, she still walked forward cautiously.

There were a lot of broken stones and clods of earth in the stone path. The uneven stone walls on both sides were obviously hastily excavated, and lime was falling down with a "rustling" sound. Occasionally, there would be a crisp "tapping" sound as small stones rolled down.

The ground was covered with countless gravels that slid as people walked, preventing them from twisting their ankles and falling, but their movements were certainly hindered and not as smooth as usual.

Even if you walk very slowly and lightly on the stone path, every step you take will still raise a cloud of gray dust. The smell of lime will be inhaled into your lungs when you breathe, making you cough uncontrollably.

Holding his breath, Jiang Jingyuan had already reached an open space at the end of the stone path. His vision was now wide, no longer restricted by the gray-white stone walls on both sides of the path.

Three stone paths appeared in front of Jiang Jingyuan.

A faint warm light emanated from the three stone paths. Upon closer inspection, although the details of the three stone paths were different, there was no obvious difference between them.

Before Jiang Jingyuan had time to hesitate, the stone road suddenly shook violently!

With a "crash", stones suddenly fell from the stone walls and domes of several stone roads.

First there were densely packed small stones, and soon fist-sized stones and clods of soil rolled down the stone wall.

A majestic and strong aura appeared out of thin air far above his head. It was so unconcealed that even Jiang Jingyuan, who was in the stone path, could clearly sense it all through the stone wall of unknown depth.

"This is……?!"

Jiang Jingyuan stood in the open space, with white light all around him. He staggered twice before quickly steadying himself. He raised his head suspiciously, as if he was looking through the dome of the stone road to the distant horizon.

Her heartbeat exploded in her ears.

really--

Jiang Jingyuan's eyes widened slightly.

She saw the aqua-blue spiritual rope on her left wrist suddenly straighten and move quickly to the left front, as if the person on the other end of the rope was running quickly in a certain direction!

Almost at the same time as he saw this scene, Jiang Jingyuan confirmed his inner guess—

A magical weapon has appeared in Bai Zhou Mountain!!!

Jiang Jingyuan no longer hesitated. He mobilized the energy of the jade bracelet to create an airtight and solid barrier around himself, and rushed straight into a stone path in the left front that roughly matched the direction indicated by the spirit rope.

She let the falling rocks hit the barrier around her that was emitting white light. Her steps did not stop, but instead became faster and faster...

Jiang Jingyuan ran very fast on the stone path, but her eyes were still paying attention to the situation inside the stone path.

This stone path is as ordinary as the previous one. The only special thing about it is that from a distance you can see a flickering candle on the stone wall at the end of the path.

The white wax candle with an orange-red flame was placed on a rusty brass candlestick, which was firmly embedded in the gray stone wall.

Even in such a situation where the earth was shaking and rocks were falling, the candlestick remained stable and did not slide at all. Only the flame on the white wax was shaking and stretching violently with the shaking of heaven and earth.

Jiang Jingyuan did not stop to observe the candlelight.

There were lights on all three stone paths, and she didn't notice anything unusual when she passed by the candlelight - this candlelight was probably not unusual.

With her thoughts racing, she was about to rush into the open space at the end of the stone path, but her footsteps subconsciously stopped. She quickly retreated, sticking to the stone wall on one side, holding her breath.

“What the hell!!!”

Suddenly, layers of screams exploded in the stone road.

More than a dozen people running out from the various passages in front bumped into each other. Everyone's attention was on the magical weapon that had just emerged. They didn't even see clearly whether the person who bumped into them was a human or a ghost. They screamed subconsciously, pushed each other away in a hurry, and retreated vigilantly.

“W-Aaaaaah!”

There was another scream. The person who was running out of the passage did not brake in time and was caught off guard and bumped into the back of his companion in front of him, screaming in fright.

When everyone moved away and looked at each other, they saw a few familiar faces and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, it turns out to be Fairy Ning. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we meet again. Hahaha!"

"Oh, it's fellow immortal Lin. I was just paying attention to the aura of the magic weapon, and I was scared when we bumped into each other, haha!"

"What a coincidence! It seems a lot of people came to Bai Zhou Mountain this time. We thought we would be the only ones there! Now it seems there's no share for us!"

"Oh, how can everyone who comes to Bai Zhou Mountain get treasures? We are just here to broaden our horizons, not to rely on those--"

"Yeah, don't count on that. The treasures are probably just like before, fought over by those big immortal sects. How can we dare to think too much."

"But don't think like that. This is Baizhu Mountain. We've succeeded just by walking here safely. Hahaha!"

"Yes, yes, what Immortal Friend Gao said makes sense!"

Thirty or forty people were talking and laughing. Seeing that the other side had no intention of fighting here, they all felt relieved and their smiles became much more genuine.

These small sects and schools are not as confident as the big sects, but since they are here, they still have to fight for it.

Maybe?

Maybe there’s something they can find that’s a bargain!

Thinking of this, they calmly looked at each other's teams, observing whether the other team had any losses, secretly comparing their strengths...

"How about we go together?" Someone suggested with a smile, "The magical weapon has already appeared. If we go there now, we might even be able to witness the elegance of the major sects!"

"Yes, yes, we have to speed up, otherwise everyone will forget about us." The other person couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly responded.

"Right, right, right. It's better to go to Bai Zhou Mountain with companions. We just happened to meet each other, so we can go together!"

Others mean the same thing.

Rather than trying to separate them and constantly being on guard against someone else's ambush, it would be better to just keep them under their noses. Besides, they haven't even seen a trace of the treasure yet, so even if they wanted to ambush someone, how could they be willing to waste time here?! Maybe if they fought now, it would just be an advantage for the larger sects.

——No matter what, if they want to fight, they have to wait until they find the magic weapon!

Thirty or forty people walked arm in arm into a stone path. Although there was constant laughter, their fast pace and the deliberate distance they kept from each other revealed their inner anxiety.

When the laughter and voices faded away, Jiang Jingyuan, who was clinging to the stone wall, slowly walked out of the stone path.

Her face was calm, and she walked silently into a stone path in the direction where the laughter came from.

Jiang Jingyuan followed through one passage after another, and saw that the temporary teams in front of him were getting larger and larger, each with their own ulterior motives. Even though they were on guard against each other, they felt themselves getting closer and closer to the majestic aura, and they couldn't help but become really excited.

They poured into the stone path like a flood—

"ah!"

Jiang Jingyuan, who was following far behind, suddenly became excited. She recognized that it was a cry of surprise and excitement!

She walked quickly forward, her clothes turned around the corner, and the view in front of her brightened.

On the three-tiered grayish-white stone steps, a heavy grayish-white stone door, intricately carved with three-dimensional patterns, had already been opened and pushed to the sides. The flawless white jade floor connected the grayish-white stone steps outside the door, extending far into the door...

Inside the gate seemed like the interior of a palace, everything magnificently constructed with pure, flawless white jade bricks, even the pillars. The pillars were carved with intricate and majestic patterns, and golden threads climbed up the three-dimensional white jade pillars, not stealing the show but adding a touch of interest, blending perfectly into the scene.

Everything you see is extremely exquisite. The unique chill of Baizhu Mountain lingers in it, adding a sense of coldness and loneliness to this magnificent palace, as if it is a lost miracle.

Jiang Jingyuan walked up the stone steps in admiration, and just as he was about to step in, he suddenly stopped.
