Chapter 28: Night Trek to Mount Emei
In the original novel, Murong Jiu was frightened crazy by Xiao Yu'er who "came back from the dead" during his trip to Mount Emei.

Fortunately, the killer Black Spider stayed by her side for several years and took care of her meticulously. The two gradually developed feelings for each other during this period. After Murong Jiu's condition improved, she married Black Spider.

Now that Xiao Yu'er is following me, I think the chance of scaring her crazy is slim, and I can be considered to have saved her indirectly. So, it is reasonable for me to let her be my younger brother... No, younger sister, right?
Suddenly, a 'ding dong' sound came from my mind.

【System notification! 】

[Complete the stage mission 'Emei Secret Treasure·Inquire about Information', please choose one of the following three rewards]:
1. Longing for the future

2. A sharp eye sees through the clouds

3. Mingjiantian Temple

Sure enough, after coming to this town and finding out information about the secret treasure, is the mission completed?

Lu Ping has already vaguely realized that the conditions for completing the tasks in his system do not seem to be that strict.

Just like the previous "destruction of Black Wind Village", he only defeated the bandits who came to Taiping Town, while those who stayed in Black Wind Village were defeated by the imperial court, so the system also completed it on its own.

Later, in the task of "Helping Lin Pingzhi to take revenge", the system's requirement is "until Lin Pingzhi completes his revenge", which means that whether the task is completed or not depends entirely on Lin Pingzhi's psychology.

If Lin Pingzhi was like Wei Qingfeng, not killing anyone and choosing to let go of hatred, he could also complete the task.

At this moment, Lu Ping was not sure whether this "lack of rigor" was intentional or an accident. He could only wait and see later to see if there was any bug.

Then Lu Ping set his sights on the reward.

"Is the reward this time a martial art related to the eyes? But isn't that a bit stingy?"

Up to now, the rewards for the main quest seem to have been cycling between "martial arts" and "weapons". After I got the Ximo Kunfeng last time, this time it is naturally martial arts.

The three moves, "Looking Through the Autumn Waters", "Eyes That Pierce the Clouds" and "Seeing the Sky Clearly", are related to eyes from their names, and in fact, they are.

Of course, it's not about making the eyes emit electric light or something like that, but about concentrating the inner strength in the eyes, which will then allow one to see through illusions, see through the essence, and find flaws.

In other words, after mastering this skill, one will be able to see through mazes, illusions, and flaws in formations. In addition, it can also enhance the user's own eyesight, such as ordinary farsightedness, night vision, etc.

In the world of Pili, there are often people standing on distant mountains, secretly spying on the battlefield and preparing to make a hidden move. When they are spying, they use this kind of martial arts skills, and the three moves of "Looking Through the Autumn Water", "Wisdom Eyes Piercing the Clouds" and "Seeing the Sky Clearly" are the best of this kind of martial arts skills.

Among the three, there is not much difference between the first two. Among them, "Looking Through the Autumn Waters" seems to have been used by Shu Lou Long Su, but there are many people who can use "Wisdom Eyes Piercing the Clouds", for example, Su, Tan, Jianzi, and Qi Lu have all used it.

The last one, 'Ming Jian Tian Guan', which comes from Buddhism, is a little stronger in ability, but it also has a drawback, that is, it can only be understood by oneself and cannot be passed on to others.

"It seems useless if I can't paraphrase. I'd better choose one of the first two items."

"System, select 'Wisdom Eyes Piercing the Clouds'!"

[Selection successful, rewards have been issued! ]

[The main quest 'Emei Secret Treasure' has been updated]

[Current Task]: Go to the location indicated by the treasure map and find out what's going on

……

night.

Tie Xinlan and the other two hold the treasure map and agree to sneak across Mount Emei to look for the treasure. Lu Ping, Xiao Yu'er and Lin Pingzhi follow them from a distance, ready to play a "mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind".

"The night is as dark as ink. The little-known Emei Trail has welcomed several uninvited guests tonight."

"Two groups of people, six men and women, arrived unexpectedly to investigate Yan Nantian's treasure map. Both sides had their own agenda, which was destined to bring an extraordinary night to the peaceful Emei Peak."

"At this moment, the eyes hidden in the dark were staring at the buttocks of the three chivalrous women in front... No, their backs, ready to make a move, waiting for the right opportunity..."

At first, the two thought that Lu Ping was going to tell another story, or some news related to Emei, so they listened quietly, but after hearing the word "butt", they couldn't hold it anymore.

"Boss, you have been talking non-stop since just now. What on earth are you mumbling to yourself?"

"You're probably the only one staring at their butts!"

Lu Ping waved his hand and said casually: "It's just a normal narration. Don't worry about it. Just keep an eye on them. It's so dark and we are not familiar with the terrain. It's easy to lose them."

"When it comes to being unfamiliar with the terrain, they should be the same, right?!"

Lu Ping shook his head: "Not necessarily! You see, the three of them know how to take this path, which means they have been here for a while. Maybe they have come to Emei Peak several times before to explore, so they are so familiar with it."

"That makes sense, so what do we do now?"

"Just follow them and see where they go!"

The terrain of Mount Emei is complex, the mountain roads are steep, and there are dangerous cliffs on the back mountain. When you are in it, you can feel the urgency of the mountain pressing down on you when you look up.

The path where the few people were walking was the most desolate area of ​​Mount Emei. It had been abandoned for many years and was already overgrown with weeds. In addition, there was thick fog from halfway up the mountain. It was difficult to see clearly after walking ten meters, and it was difficult to walk.

It was because Lu Ping had good eyesight that he could move freely in such a harsh environment.

But the three of them were following Tie Xinlan and the others, so they naturally would not go around them, and the three women in front did not have the skill of "Wisdom Eyes Piercing the Clouds", so after more than half an hour, the six people still had no gains.

"Haven't they reached the location on the treasure map yet?"

"I think... they are probably lost."

After walking for half a day, Lin Pingzhi, who had a shallow foundation, had already broken out in a sweat. Xiao Yuer's condition was slightly better, but he was also visibly impatient.

Lu Ping seemed to be in good spirits because of his strong internal strength and the ability to control his true energy to form a barrier on his body surface to prevent sneak attacks from mosquitoes and ants and to isolate himself from the cold and heat.

"It suddenly occurred to me that you also have a treasure map on you?"

Lu Ping turned to look at Xiao Yu'er and said, "Why don't we just not follow them and go find them ourselves?"

Xiao Yuer looked embarrassed and said, "Actually, I don't have the original treasure map with me. I just memorized the route on it when I got it."

Lu Ping was not surprised by this because Xiaoyuer was the same in the original book.

"It's the same thing, let's go!"

"Well... take a look at it yourself."

Xiao Yuer gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, took out his so-called "treasure map" from his arms and handed it to Lu Ping.
