Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 516: Meeting Qiao Feng Again
The next day, Lu Ping and Wang Yuyan left Mantuo Villa.

"Brother Lu, why do I feel like you're looking at me in a weird way?"

"Illusions are all illusions!"

"Yeah……?"

of course not!

In fact, when Wang Yuyan and Li Qingluo were talking in the study yesterday, Lu Ping happened to be outside and accidentally heard what they said.

So now he has a kind of admiration for Wang Yuyan that he has "looked at with new eyes".

There is still about a month left until the Leigushan chess match, and during this time, they have enough time to walk slowly.

Faced with this decision, Wang Yuyan asked a question: "Brother Lu, why do we have to walk there instead of riding a horse or taking a car?"

Lu Ping replied: "Of course, this is to experience this world well!"

Wang Yuyan nodded as if she understood, and said nothing more.

Although she had read a lot of books and learned a lot of knowledge since she was a child, she seldom went out, so she had very few opportunities to observe with her own eyes and experience things personally.

It is normal not to understand Lu Ping's words at this time.

Because the so-called "jianghu" is actually a very abstract concept. Things like "where there are people, there is jianghu" and "where I have walked with my sword" are just nice words.

Lu Ping still traveled light on this trip, but Wang Yuyan prepared a lot of things.

In addition to the long sword for self-defense, she also stuffed all the big and small things into a package and carried it on her shoulder, looking like a wandering female knight.

Lu Ping felt that after Murong Fu's death, Wang Yuyan became independent and no longer the stereotypical 'follower behind her cousin'.

The two of them went westward.

One day, we arrived at Shaolin territory.

Wang Yuyan thought of what Deng Baichuan had said before, that Murong Fu died at the hands of someone who used Shaolin martial arts, and she became very concerned about the people and things related to Shaolin.

"Brother Lu, have you ever fought with people from Shaolin? Do you know how strong they are?"

"I have never fought with anyone from Shaolin."

Wang Yuyan was asking about Shaolin in the Northern Wulin at the moment, so Lu Ping of course gave this answer.

"So do you want to fight them?"

"...Your question has ill intentions."

After more than a month of training by Lu Ping, Wang Yuyan is no longer the "Martial Arts Zhao Kuo" who only sees the world from a narrow perspective.

Today, she is well aware that there are many peerless martial arts in the world that can turn mediocre people into masters, and she also knows that there are many martial arts masters who can make ordinary martial arts produce peerless effects.

In order to deal with that enemy, Wang Yuyan felt that she needed to experience the power of Shaolin martial arts firsthand so that she could think of a countermeasure in advance based on the moves.

Lu Ping's words "ill-intentioned" refer to her attempt to use him to observe Shaolin martial arts and find flaws.

"Since you're so concerned, why don't we just go over and take a look."

After a few simple words, the two decided to go to Shaolin.

The strength of this Shaolin is not strong. Even the abbot Xuanci's martial arts is only at the lower-class level in the martial arts world, and may be slightly inferior to that of Qiao Feng.

The only capable warrior in the entire temple is the sweeping monk guarding the Sutra Library.

Lu Ping went to Shaolin this time just to test out the strength of this legendary Sweeping Monk.

A few days later, the two arrived at the foot of Mount Shaoshi as if they were going on a picnic.

Just as I was about to find the way up the mountain, I suddenly saw a burly man walking towards me from a distance, carrying a jar of wine and a piece of meat.

On such a large road, with only three of them, they were naturally very conspicuous and could see each other from a long distance.

Lu Ping and the other man thought that they could just ask the other party for the way up the mountain, so they slowed down their pace and waited for the man to arrive. When the man came closer, they found that he was an acquaintance.

"It's Boss Qiao, long time no see."

The person who came was actually Qiao Feng!

"Young Master Lu?!"

When Qiao Feng saw Lu Ping appear here, he showed some surprise on his face.

The two were not really good friends. Their only interaction was a few fights in Guiyun Manor, and Lu Ping had defeated Lu Ping unilaterally. As for the fight in Guiyan Forest, they had never met each other.

But people who practice martial arts have an innate tacit understanding that does not require much explanation.

Specifically, when they face strong men, especially those whose martial arts have reached the pinnacle of the world, they will unconsciously develop a natural liking for them.

Some are worship, some are awe, and some are respect.

And the more skilled a person is in martial arts, the more obvious this mentality is.

After asking, Qiao Feng quickly stopped talking and said, "Now I have changed back to my original name, Xiao Feng, and I am no longer a gang leader. Young Master Lu, please do not address me as 'Gang Leader Qiao' anymore."

"Okay, then...long time no see, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Feng smiled cheerfully and asked, "How did Young Master Lu get here? And the girl next to you... I vaguely remember that she seems to be Mr. Murong's cousin?"

"Brother Xiao has a really good memory!"

Lu Ping said, "This is Miss Wang. Now follow me to learn swordsmanship."

Xiao Feng was stunned when he heard this, his face showing three parts curiosity and seven parts interest: "Young Master Lu actually accepted Miss Wang as his apprentice?"

Lu Ping shook his head and laughed, "I didn't accept any disciples. I just taught you swordsmanship."

Xiao Feng understood and said, "Brother Lu, your swordsmanship is astounding. I still remember the battle with Yan Kuangtu at Guiyun Manor. Now Miss Wang is lucky enough to learn your swordsmanship. I wonder how many people in the martial arts world will envy her."

"If you knew why she begged to learn sword from me, you probably wouldn't say that."

Xiao Feng heard that there was something else behind these words, and asked curiously, "Master Lu, what you said is strange, is there something else going on?"

"Hmm? Brother Xiao, do you still not know about Master Murong?
Lu Ping remembered that there was no news about Xiao Feng after he left the Northern Beggars' Sect. If he returned to his hometown and retired after that, he might not have known about Murong Fu.

"Master Murong?"

As expected, Xiao Feng looked confused. After thinking for a while, he said, "The last time I saw him was in the Guiyan Forest."

"Because of his life experience, Xiao Feng went through many twists and turns, and I didn't hear any news from him during that time. After he returned home and retired, he knew nothing about the affairs of the martial arts world."

"Young Master Lu said so. Could it be that something happened to Master Murong?"

"It's a long story, I heard the details..."

Lu Ping sighed and told the story of Murong Fu.

After hearing this, Xiao Feng could only sigh: "We only saw each other briefly at Guiyun Manor that day, and it turned out to be the only time we met in this life. Master Murong was also quite famous in the martial arts world and was a handsome man. I didn't expect that he would die young now. It's such a pity."

"When you are in the underworld, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or death. Perhaps it is a good ending for me to quit the underworld early and stay away from disputes."

When Lu Ping heard Xiao Feng claim that he was "retiring from the martial arts world", he was moved and asked in surprise, "Brother Xiao, have you decided not to get involved in the martial arts world anymore?"

"That day, I heard news from the Northern Beggars' Sect that you were a descendant of the Liao people and were driven out of the Beggars' Sect by several elders. I wonder what the situation is like?"

"I am indeed a descendant of the Liao people. Let's talk about this later."

Xiao Feng nodded and admitted his identity, but he did not continue to talk about what happened next, as if he was unwilling to talk more about this topic.

"It is fate that we meet today. Why don't you two come to my humble abode and let Xiao Feng treat you well?"

“Haha…I couldn’t ask for more!”

Seeing that he was evasive, Lu Ping didn't want to ask any more questions, so he just let it go and decided to secretly find out the details when he had the chance.

The three of them walked along the path for several hundred meters and came to a hillside on the south side of Mount Shaoshi. After turning around the hillside, a vegetable garden appeared in front of them.

The vegetable garden is well maintained, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits are growing well, which shows that the planters are well versed in farming.

There is also a jujube tree planted in the garden, with a straw hat and a teapot placed underneath it. It is obviously a place for people to rest after daily farming work.

Lu Ping and the other man followed Xiao Feng across the garden and walked forward for a distance, then they saw three earthen houses lined up side by side.

The house is surrounded by a fence to form a courtyard, and several areas are planned in the courtyard. One area is used to dry vegetables, and that area is used to raise chickens. It is simple but carries the wisdom of life.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ping could already imagine Xiao Feng's retired life during this period - working from sunrise to sunset, growing vegetables and farming, and enjoying the quietness.

What surprised Lu Ping was that there was actually someone in the Qiao family's yard.

When Lu Ping and Wang Yuyan followed Xiao Feng to his yard, he discovered that there were three people inside.

An old couple and a young woman.
