"Master and senior brothers, do you think these little bright spots represent stars?"
Upon discovering the problem, Lin Xue herself was unsure of what to do, so she immediately sought help from the two of them.
"It really does look quite similar. Shall we wait until tonight to see it?"
Looking at the twinkling lights, Yu Qing realized they did indeed resemble the stars scattered throughout the night sky.
Moreover, he found the location of the Big Dipper from these small highlights.
"Let's wait a while. Once the stars come out, we'll compare this map with the stars in the sky and see if we can find the location of the cave!"
Lin Xue's biggest fear was that the map was fake, and that some senior was playing a trick on the junior.
Now that she has found another clue, her mood is no longer as low as before.
Even if there's no treasure behind this cave, sometimes exploration is a kind of fun.
"good!"
"OK!"
The three reached a consensus, and then each found a place to rest, some cultivating and others daydreaming.
Until the moon rose, all the stars in the sky became visible.
Yu Qing opened the map again and, by moving the ring, matched the small dots on the map with the stars in the sky.
Finally, they arrived at the bottom of a cliff, but unfortunately there were no caves on the cliff.
"I wonder which senior made this; it's really quite boring!"
The bright spots on the map corresponded perfectly to the stars in the sky, but the cave did not exist, even though Lin Xue stubbornly carved a section into the mountain wall.
Well, there wasn't a cave here originally, but she carved out a shallow one.
Enraged, Lin Xue threw the chisel on the ground, then plopped down and looked up at the starry sky.
Her gaze slowly moved down from the stars in the sky to the shallow cave she had carved out.
Then they moved upwards from this cave.
"Wow, this cliff is quite high!"
Lin Xue sighed unconsciously, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Is it possible that this cave is located above the cliff face?"
After all, it's just a map, a two-dimensional one, while the mountain wall is three-dimensional.
"I'll go up and take a look!"
Hearing his junior sister's murmurs, Chu Xuan immediately steered his flying sword toward the mountain wall.
"Master and junior sister, hurry up and come up!"
Soon, Chu Xuan's joyful shouts came from above.
"Walk!"
Yu Qing didn't even need to use his flying sword; he simply grabbed Lin Xue and flew towards the cliff face.
"This cave is so well hidden! It's impossible to find it whether you're looking up from below or looking down from above."
Moreover, even if it flies past from the side, it is easy to miss if you don't look carefully.
The cave was completely covered by vines.
If Chu Xuan hadn't been focused on finding the cave and hadn't been so observant along the way, probably no one would have discovered its existence.
"Now, the question is whether we should go in or not?"
Lin Xue stood at the entrance of the cave, where the vines had already been cleared away by her senior brother.
"Come on, I'll take you two inside to have a look. Since you're already here, you won't be satisfied if you don't take a look!"
Although his divine sense did not detect anything unusual, Chu Xuan still took out his weapon and led the way.
Behind him were two disciples of low strength; he had every right to be cautious.
"Master, this cave is so deep!"
After walking for quite some time, the three of them still hadn't reached the end, and Lin Xue couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"It's deep enough!"
Yu Qing held a sword in one hand and a torch in the other, illuminating the cave walls on both sides.
It also illuminated the path forward for the two young apprentices.
Something's not right!
As Yu Qing walked, she suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Lin Xue had no idea what had happened; she sensed nothing unusual.
"At our current pace, the three of us could walk from one side of the mountain to the other, let alone reach the end of the cave!"
Yu Qing waved the torch, trying to figure out what was different about this cave.
"So what should we do?"
Chu Xuan, who had been in charge of covering the rear, became somewhat anxious upon hearing his master's words.
"Master, why don't you let me lead the way?"
If it weren't for Yu Qing's reminder, she would have forgotten that she also had a radar system.
That thing can point her to the optimal route, but I don't know if it's applicable in the cultivation world.
"If you want to try, then you can go ahead!"
Although the problem was discovered, no other anomalies were found.
Yu Qing didn't plan to turn back now.
"Yes, Master!"
"Comrades, now that I'm leading the way, you'd better keep up and don't fall behind again!"
Lin Xue habitually gave a pep talk before finally taking a step forward.
Her radar system had also been activated according to her will. In Lin Xue's eyes, the cave was no longer just a single passage as before.
Instead, there are many routes that lead to different places, but only one route is the optimal choice given by the system.
"careful!"
Seeing his young apprentice about to crash into a wall, Yu Qing was about to pull him back.
Then they saw that the young apprentice had already disappeared into the wall.
"Keep up!"
Yu Qing didn't dare to delay and followed immediately.
Watching his junior sister and master disappear one after another, Chu Xuan didn't dare to linger, afraid of being left behind by the two ahead.
Just as he was feeling anxious and uneasy, a large hand suddenly reached out from in front of him, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him inside.
"Hey, this road looks exactly the same as the one we just took!"
Even though he was usually a man of few words, Chu Xuan couldn't help but ramble on at this moment.
"I see, I knew it! After walking so far, how could we not have made it out yet!"
"I never expected there to be such a clever illusion in this cave; I was fooled!"
Yu Qing followed behind his young apprentice, wondering how his apprentice had found these hidden paths.
Could it be because his youngest apprentice is the shortest, so his perspective on objects is different from theirs?
Unable to find an answer, Yu Qing could only continue following behind his young apprentice.
"Master, let's hurry up, I feel like we're almost there!"
Lin Xue didn't know what was ahead, but the end of the road indicated by her radar system was already not far ahead.
"This is actually the place where a senior passed down his legacy?"
Looking at the spacious cave, and in the middle of the cave sitting a skeleton.
Besides these, the cave also had several shelves, which were filled with books and a variety of other items.
