Chapter 120 The connected truth

Lu Ping has been procrastinating on the main quest 'Emei Secret Treasure' for a long time.

Before, Lu Ping always thought that it was done by the Mohist people, but now when he heard Dugu Yihe say that he had faked his own death, he realized that maybe the imperial court had a hand in it.

"That was done by our people too!"

Dugu Yihe's answer also confirmed Lu Ping's idea.

"The emperor felt that the Five Mountains and Seven Sects had developed so much control over the local areas that it was beyond the control of the imperial court, so he wanted to weaken their power."

"At the same time, he also felt that there were too many unorganized underworld people and they were too diverse, so he wanted to get rid of a group of them. That's why he asked someone to design the 'treasure map' turmoil."

"It turns out that this plan was very successful. Not only did it capture many Jianghu people, but it also severely damaged the reputation of Emei. There was even an unexpected surprise... that is, the death of 'Dugu Yihe'."

So that’s it?
Lu Ping looked at the system panel in his mind, but found no notification of completed task.

"How many treasure maps have you designed?"

"Only one copy!"

Speaking of this, Dugu Yihe's expression became strange, and Lu Ping also knew why he had such an expression.

"If my guess is correct, the treasure map you designed is the second treasure map that appeared at the beginning. The place pointed to by this treasure map is the cave that you and your men are guarding?"

"That night, news of the operation leaked out. Some people speculated that someone involved in the operation had informed on the operation, but in fact, no one had informed on the operation. The one who leaked the news was one of your people!"

Dugu Yihe sighed deeply: "You are absolutely right!"

"So what about the first and third treasure maps?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yihe was stunned on the spot, looked up at Lu Ping, and remained silent for a long while with his mouth open.

"We don't even know where the first treasure map came from. As for the third treasure map you mentioned... I've never even heard of it!"

Never heard of it?!
By the way, Yizhimei was commissioned by Tianxia No. 1 Village to conduct the investigation, and since nothing was found in the stone chamber, the matter may not have spread.

And the only copy of the third treasure map is the one in Tie Xinlan’s hand. This is the strangest thing about the whole thing!

“Who designed this plan?”

"East Group Eighteen: Assassin. His real name is Dongmen Chaori. He is an unknown killer in the underworld."

Who? Dongmen Asahi?!
Isn’t that Xuan Zhixuan’s subordinate?

As expected, my previous guess was correct. Mohist school was behind this matter!

Lu Ping suddenly thought of the game of 'Nine Dragons Book' in the golden light.

The three heavenly books were written by three different people; if the three treasure maps were also written by three different people, isn’t it natural?

Let’s review it again…

What can be confirmed now is that the second treasure map was created at the behest of the emperor. Since the person who offered the suggestion was a member of the Mohist school, they understood the situation and designed the third treasure map in an attempt to contribute to the Mohist school.

So who designed the first treasure map?

If you think about it carefully, its appearance seems to have only the purpose of disrupting the authenticity of the second treasure map, so the mastermind behind it is most likely someone who knows the emperor's intentions but deliberately goes against him.

Moreover, this person is likely to be in collusion with Dongmen Chaori, the one who proposed the treasure map, because he needs to know the plan as soon as possible.

Thinking back to the reason why Yizhimei got involved in the first place, it was because of the commission from Tianxia Didizhuang; the person they finally reported to was also someone from Tianxia Didizhuang...

Suddenly, as if a flash of lightning flashed through Lu Ping's mind, connecting all the discrete clues together to form a truth with a high probability -

The first treasure map was made by Zhu Wusi!
【System prompts...】

That’s right! I guessed it right!

Lu Ping's brows lit up with joy, and he felt a little relieved and comforted.

"Okay, let's go!"

Lu Ping is a man who keeps his promises and sticks to his words.

Since the other party has indeed answered what you want to know, just let them go.

Dugu Yihe and Jin Jiuling looked at each other, and then stared at Lu Ping for a long time, as if to make sure whether they had heard it wrong. It was not until Lu Ping stood up and walked away that they realized that they had indeed saved their lives today.

"Thank you for your mercy..."

Lu Ping sneered: "You thank me too early!"

what? !

"I'll make it clear in advance that you're not dead. I'll tell Lu Xiaofeng when I get back. If he doesn't bring you to justice, that's his responsibility!"

"As for whether this matter will be made public, and whether anyone will believe it after it is made public, that is not something I can decide!"

"So you two better wear your masks properly from now on, and change your martial arts routines and code names, so that you won't be recognized again someday!"

The two of them lowered their heads in shame when they heard this: "Thank you for your advice!"

"gone!"

On the way back, Lu Ping was filled with joy. Having solved a siege and learned something that he had never figured out before, and having completed two main tasks in a row, he felt a little elated.

In a very good mood, Lu Ping couldn't help but sing while riding his horse, while checking the rewards for the two main tasks.

[The main mission 'Siege Counterattack' has been completed. Please choose one of the following three rewards]:
1. Broken Sword and Sword Cutting Bloody Mountain

2. The defeated swords and the blood-stained river

3. Sword and Wind

All three rewards are martial arts, and all of them are moves that combine swords and sabers.

"Is it because the final boss of this operation is Dugu Yihe, who practices both sword and knife..."

Lu Ping could tell the origin of these rewards at a glance.

"It seems like what you get depends on who you fight..."

His eyes fell on three martial arts moves.

The names of the first two martial arts moves were very distinctive. Even without the system's reminder, Lu Ping still remembered that these were the 'Red Earth Moves' practiced by the twin brothers, Good and Evil, and Evil and Good.

The user condenses his own internal force in his hand to form red sword blood energy. After unleashing the move, a large area around it can turn into red land, turning it into a lifeless desert.

It's very powerful, but also a bit cruel.

The two 'Red Earth Moves' not only have similar names, but also similar power, the only difference is that one uses the sword in the left hand and the knife in the right hand, while the other uses the knife in the left hand and the sword in the right hand.

The last option, 'Blade Wind and Sword Flow', was too common a name. If it weren't for the system prompt, Lu Ping wouldn't have been able to remember it at all.

The user of this 'Blade Wind and Sword Flow' is Jia Zifang, also known as Jia Minggong. He is a soldier of Youyan and the boss of a killer organization.

In the plot, he made his adopted son Hen Bufeng learn martial arts from his parents Dao Wen and Huan Jian, and then secretly learned it himself. His methods were extremely despicable.

Although Jia Minggong succeeded in the end, the martial arts of Dao Wenhuan Jian had already surpassed the norm by then. Even after he had mastered the sword and saber techniques, his performance was still mediocre, and he was hastily defeated in the end.

"First eliminate the third option. If the first two are similar... choose the second one."

[Selection successful, martial arts secrets have been put into the package]

After choosing the moves, Lu Ping felt uneasy.

The destructive power of the Red Earth Move is too great. In this world, as far as Lu Ping knows now, perhaps only Shi Yanwen's "Pure Yang Palm" activated at full power can be compared with it.

"Forget it, I'll practice slowly later..."

Then Lu Ping turned his attention to the main task of the Emei secret treasure.

This main quest has been delayed for nearly a month now, but compared to the '100 Jobs in the Yorozuya Shop' that I had completed before, and the current phased quests such as 'Young Man's Jianghu', 'Female Hero's Nightmare', and 'Ten Evil Men', it was completed very quickly.

[The main quest 'Emei Secret Treasure' has been completed. Please choose one of the following three rewards]:
1. Flying duckweed and rainbow

2. Leave a trace on the road

3. Tianyue Pingzong

Lu Ping: ? ? ! !

Can't believe it!

He rubbed his eyes and looked again.

That's right!
Lu Ping couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Hiss... Is this a reward I can really get?"

Just because the mission is a major event that takes place in Emei, the reward should be taken from Lian Emei? This system is too good for me!
These three martial arts moves all came from the same person.

The first person in the world of Pili to cultivate immortality, the first female Taoist innate, 'Pingshan' practices Emei, a woman who brings mountains with her when she goes out.

Judging from the positioning given by the screenwriter, and the various negative states that had to be imposed on her in order to weaken her strength, if Lian Emei could go all out, her strength would be even stronger than Yi Ye Shu, one of the three pillars of Pili.

I still remember that when Lian Emei first appeared, accompanied by a loud suona music "Sunrise at Emei", she slapped her palm from the sky, and knocked the base camp of the alien demon world from the ground to the abyss, killing countless demons. In the end, it took the combined efforts of the three villain bosses to take on this move.

Just this one move amazed all the spectators inside and outside the play.

The move that shocked the entire Otherworld was the last of the three options, 'Tianyue Pingzong'.

As for the first two moves...

Fei Ping Xie Hong is a move that transforms one's internal force into thousands of sword rainbows and launches them towards the enemy. As for the visual effect... it is similar to Wan Jian Gui Zong, but with greater power.

The effect of Dao Liu Ping Zong is similar to Tian Yue Ping Zong, but the output strength of the two is different. After all, Yan Mo Han Ba ​​can block this move by himself.

If you calculate it this way, Daoliu Pingzong is roughly equivalent to the 2nd skill in the game, while Tianyue Pingzong is equivalent to the 3rd skill. As for the ultimate move, it should be Lian Emei's Yin-Yang separation move, Xianzhe Pingzong.

"It's a pity that the move 'Fairy's Wandering' didn't come out, otherwise I would definitely choose that one..."

After much hesitation, Lu Ping chose 'Tian Yue Ping Zong', not for anything else, but just for the stunning look when Lian Emei first appeared.

No matter it is the defeated sword and the bloody river or the Tianyue Pingzong, the two martial arts acquired today require a lot of time to practice and study before they can bring out their true strength.

Fortunately, what Lu Ping has the most at the moment is time.
