Chapter 31 Hidden Passage
Lu Ping told Xiao Yuer and Lin Pingzhi the story of Wei Qingfeng, and they immediately realized the origin of this pseudonym.

But more important than the pseudonym is the meaning of the action itself.

Lin Pingzhi's family was brutally massacred because he possessed the "Sword Manual of Exorcism". Now that he is traveling around the world, he may be targeted by those determined murderers and come to his door, so changing his name is the best way!

Moreover, there is no connection between the two names. As long as Lin Pingzhi changes his appearance, no one will be able to find out, which will buy time for his revenge.

Lin Pingzhi reacted quickly and gave Tie Xinlan a fist bump: "My name is Wei Qingfeng, I am just an attendant, young lady, don't mind me."

One is called the younger brother, and the other calls himself a follower...

Tie Xinlan could tell at a glance that there was a story behind this, but it was obviously not something that an outsider like her could inquire about, so she did not delve into it further and turned to look at Xiao Yuer.

"Although I believe that you will be able to turn danger into safety and survive the disaster, and I also believe that you will definitely come here to meet me, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we would meet at this time, and we haven't found the location of the treasure yet."

She said so much, but to Lu Ping, the general meaning was: The treasure has not been obtained yet, let's look for it together, and share it together when we find it.

Xiao Yuer chuckled: "It's not a coincidence! In fact, we have been following you since the three of you were at the inn in the town at the foot of the mountain."

"Ah? So you came after us?"

"good."

"Then why don't you come out? Do you know that these days, I... I..."

As Tie Xinlan spoke, her face suddenly turned red.

Although the sentence was not finished, any smart person could tell that the unfinished words were nothing more than disgusting and corny words like "I'm worried about you" or "I miss you so much".

So Lu Ping interrupted their conversation and said, "You two can talk about these sweet nothings later when no one is around. Now it's important to find the treasure. Can you show me the treasure map?"

Having her secret exposed by an outsider, Tie Xinlan's face turned even redder, and out of shyness, she actually punched Xiao Yuer in the heart with her little fist.

Boom-!
The rapid and dull sound of punches was extremely clear on the deserted road.

Xiao Yuer groaned, bent his waist, covered his chest and cried out in pain: "If you hit me harder, Xiao Yuer will become a dead fish!"

Tie Xinlan smiled even more happily when she saw this and took out the treasure map and handed it to Xiao Yuer.

At this time, Zhang Jing brought Murong Jiu, who had recovered his mentality, over and expressed some dissatisfaction with Tie Xinlan's actions: "Are you so easy to hand over the treasure map to outsiders?"

This treasure map originally belonged to Tie Xinlan, so naturally she could show it to whomever she wanted. But she didn't say so at this time, and it was obvious that the three of them had reached some kind of cooperation agreement before.

However, Tie Xinlan still retorted: "Since we are already here, and we can't find the entrance to the treasure now, why not let others take a look, maybe they can find something?"

The two women fell silent after hearing this. They had all interacted with Xiao Yuer before and knew that this man was full of bad intentions, more cunning than a fox, and more treacherous than a weasel. If they took a look at him, they might be able to discover something.

"Let me see it too."

Lu Ping quickly leaned his head over and studied this "real treasure map" with Xiao Yuer.

The workmanship of this treasure map is countless times more refined than Xiao Yuer's previous crude drawings. Whether it is the direction of the mountains, the flow of rivers or the forks in the road, they are all drawn clearly. Some places are even marked with conspicuous large trees.

"According to the route above, the treasure should be hidden here. Why is there nothing here?"

"There must be a mechanism nearby!" Lu Ping remembered that in the original novel, Xiao Yuer took the Green Snake Prince to the top of Mount Emei, followed the route of the treasure map, and found a cave at the end.

After the two entered the cave, a bunch of "jianghu masters" immediately appeared and fought each other.

Relying on his cleverness, Xiao Yuer fabricated a persona of 'Senior Jade' who looked young despite being old, and fooled a large number of martial arts masters to explore the way for him. Later, he found a mechanism at the end of the spacious cave and opened the stone chamber, which turned out to be the tomb of the ancestor of the Emei Sect.

But now here, Lu Ping could not see any signs of a cave, so it could only be hidden by a mechanism.

"Since it's a trap... then it looks like I have to take action!"

After Lu Ping finished speaking, he used the inner energy in his body to concentrate on his eyes, "Wisdom Eyes Pierce the Clouds!"

In an instant, Lu Ping felt as if there was an X-ray dialysis machine in front of him. All the flowers, plants, stones, mechanisms and magic within a radius of several miles were exposed.

"found it!"

After discovering the core of the mechanism, Lu Ping walked to a stone covered by weeds and vines and found an obvious protrusion on it. After fiddling with it for a few seconds, he found the key.

Lu Ping turned the protrusion on the stone and felt a rumbling sound under his feet. Then the large rock beside him began to move, shaking off a lot of dust and weeds, revealing a dark, bottomless cave.

"So there's a secret passage here! No wonder we didn't find it the last time we came here..."

"Since the entrance is hidden in such a secret place, it seems that this treasure map is very likely to be real! Even if there is no 'Divine Sword Jue' in it, there should be a lot of treasures..."

Several people showed joy on their faces and walked into the cave with trepidation.

So Lu Ping took the lead, followed by Lin Pingzhi, Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu. Xiao Yuer was more thoughtful and decided to be the first to escape if there was any danger, so he pulled Tie Xinlan and walked at the end.

However, not long after the six people entered the cave, there was another tremor under their feet, and then the huge rock at the entrance of the cave automatically moved back to its original position, sealing the entrance.

A few people didn't react quickly and were immediately trapped.

"Oh no, we can't get out now!"

The little fish fumbled around at the sealed entrance to the cave, but found nothing.

Lu Ping said calmly: "Don't panic! There can't be a cave in this world that has an entrance but no exit. Let's explore inside first, and then think of a solution!"

"This... well, this is the only way."

The exit was sealed, the light in the cave suddenly disappeared, and it was pitch black all around, with no sight of one’s hand in front of one’s face.

Fortunately, people who traveled around the world all carried a tinder with them. After lighting the tinder, the few of them finally regained their sight and walked towards the depths of the cave.

After a while, the narrow path that was originally wide enough for only three people to walk through reached the end, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up to a stone room. There was a lot of dust on the ground, and the corners of the walls were covered with spider silk and unknown weeds. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Look there!"

Suddenly, Lin Pingzhi shouted and pointed towards a corner of the stone chamber.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and what came into view was a coffin entangled in vines!
