Chapter 38 There are still masters
After a while, the six people arrived at the end of the right fork with ease.

"I didn't see any more forks in the road this time. It looks like this is the last one."

Xiao Yuer sighed, "I don't know what's hidden behind this stone door. I hope it's at least more valuable than what I just found. Otherwise, it would be a shame to have tossed around all night."

Tie Xinlan blinked her eyes, turned her head and asked, "Didn't you just take a lot of treasures and a martial art? With those things, tonight's harvest is not too bad."

Xiao Yuer shook his head: "Those things can't be eaten or drunk, and I find them too cumbersome to carry with me! Didn't that man just die in the cave with a bunch of treasures? And..."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Ping. "Even if we take these things to a place where there are people, it will be useless if we can't exchange them!"

Lu Ping knew that this guy was thinking of his own experience in Taiping Town, so he laughed and said, "That's a very insightful statement, but it's not entirely true!"

Xiao Yuer raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Haven't you heard that 'Money is not everything, but without money you can do nothing'?"

Lu Ping explained: "When it comes to material possessions, we need to keep in mind our original intentions and not be blinded by greed; but we also need to know that since these things were created, there is a reason for them, so there is no need to avoid them too much."

When everyone heard Lu Ping's words, they all nodded thoughtfully.

Just as Lu Ping pressed his hand on the switch and was about to open the stone door in front of him, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from behind the door. He immediately stopped his action vigilantly and waved to several people.

"Whisper, there's someone behind the door!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone behind him fell silent and became serious and alert.

No one can guarantee what is behind this stone door.

What if you open it and find a bunch of martial arts masters fighting behind you? What would they think when they see you coming out of the secret passage?
Becoming the target of public criticism is inevitable.

But the most frightening thing is that after those people find out that we are young, they will become very violent and rush forward. Then we will lose both our money and our lives.

Several people put their ears against the stone wall, listening quietly to the movement behind the door.

Xiao Yuer listened for a while and whispered, "From the sound of footsteps, there don't seem to be many people on the other side, only... three people?"

"No, not three, but four!"

Lu Ping retorted, "One of them is a master of Qinggong. His footsteps are very light, so you may not be able to hear them. The other one's footsteps are obviously heavier than the other three. He is either a big guy or a strong man."

Xiao Yuer listened carefully for a while, but still didn't hear the last footsteps, but he believed Lu Ping's judgment.

"Judging from the sound of their breathing, one of them has a higher martial arts skill than the other three. You are no match for them. If a fight breaks out, remember to avoid them."

Zhang Jing, Murong Jiu and Tie Xinlan behind him all looked at Lu Ping with strange expressions when they heard what he said.

Along the way, they saw Lu Ping's smart, bold, careful and insightful side. They also saw Xiao Yuer's admiration for Lu Ping. They knew that he must be a very powerful person, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful.

Hearing the footsteps and breathing of the person behind a stone wall, and judging the other person's body shape and internal strength, is not something that people of this age can easily do.

Even though Murong Jiu had seen many heroes through his sister and brother-in-law, he had never heard of any sect in the world that had a young genius like Lu Ping.

Suddenly, several slight "dong dong" sounds came from the stone door in front of them, and then a voice sounded. "Listen, the sound of knocking on this stone wall is different from the ones next to it. It sounds like there is nothing behind it!"

"There must be a secret passage here, find the mechanism!"

Oops, this place has been discovered!
Lu Ping and the others looked at each other, knowing that since the other party had discovered the clues, it was only a matter of time before they found the mechanism to open the stone door, and a battle would be inevitable at that time.

Several people stepped back a few steps and discussed in low voices: "What should we do now?"

"There are three options!"

Lu Ping held up three fingers and said, "The first option is to avoid the battle! We will immediately retreat back the way we came and leave through other stone chambers. If they find the secret passage, they will definitely explore it first. We will have plenty of time to escape."

"The second option is to negotiate! After the stone gate is opened, we can sit down with them and have a friendly chat. Tell them what we have discovered along the way. We can also do them a favor and show them the way."

"The last option is to fight! We should take the initiative and catch them off guard. We should subdue them first!"

Several people were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect Lu Ping to propose such a radical option.

However, before they could make a decision, they felt a tremor under their feet, and then the stone wall moved, and bright light from the stone room behind the door shone in.

"Well...it looks like the first option can be ruled out."

"Get ready, turn off the engine and rush in!"

Just when the stone door was about to be completely opened, Lu Ping shouted softly and swung his palm, extinguishing all the fire starters in everyone's hands.

It was pitch dark in the secret passage, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. However, there were torches in the stone chamber, making it very bright. There was an extreme difference in the light intensity in the two places.

When a person's gaze moves from a bright place into a dim place, his vision will definitely be affected at the first moment, not to mention that it is at night, in a stone chamber in the mountains, and the light depends entirely on torches.

As long as the other party cannot make any move at the moment the door opens, they can take this opportunity to enter the stone chamber as quickly as possible and then take the initiative.

"drink!!"

The moment the stone door was pushed open, Lu Ping gathered his strength and shouted loudly, then kicked his legs and lunged forward.

The person on the opposite side had just opened the door and had no time to see the whole picture of the secret passage when he heard Lu Ping's loud shout. He was immediately frightened. Before he could react, he felt a powerful palm already in front of him.

"careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

Just when Lu Ping was about to succeed, two warning sounds were heard from the stone chamber. At the same time, a man suddenly jumped out from the side of the stone door and pushed the man standing in front of the stone door away with one hand.

Lu Ping's palm strike missed, but his body used the inertia of the forward lunge to flip into the stone chamber. The torches inside were bright, and he could see the whole scene clearly in an instant -

The stone chamber was unremarkable, with nothing in it except two coffins in the middle, but there were several doors on the side that connected to other places.

There were four other people in the stone chamber, and they were the owners of the four footsteps he had just heard behind the wall.
