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

Chapter 526: Beating the Drums and Sounding the Bells
During the trip to Shaolin, Lu Ping fought happily and Wang Yuyan also gained a lot.

It was of great benefit to her to witness the battle between two peerless masters, during which nearly a hundred kinds of peerless martial arts were used.

After this battle, Wang Yuyan's brain database has been filled with various sophisticated and advanced algorithms. As long as she spends some time studying them repeatedly, she will soon become a top-notch master in the world.

After leaving Shaolin, Xiao Feng took Azhu home, while Lu Ping continued on his journey with Wang Yuyan.

The two walked and stopped, during which Lu Ping gave Wang Yuyan martial arts advice from time to time.

Before we knew it, the day of the chess match at Leigushan came.

Leigushan Mountain is located in the southwest of the hinterland of Beiwulin. It is a mountain very close to the border between the two Song dynasties and Dali.

Such special geographical factors have made this place a battleground for military strategists.

When foreign tribes invaded the Zhao Song Dynasty in the past, Leigushan became a battlefield. In just ten years, three large-scale battles and eighteen small-scale battles broke out here.

The number of unknown soldiers who died in this place in these twenty-one wars is countless.

It is said that even now, people can still occasionally see wronged souls who refuse to enter the cycle of reincarnation and run out to wander in the mountains every night.

Times have changed. Now, more than fifty years after the Han people drove out the Tartars, peace returned to northern Wulin, and nature was able to recuperate, Leigushan has regained its vitality.

Today, this place is picturesque with clear water and green mountains, singing birds and fragrant flowers, without any trace of the bloodshed of war, so it has become a check-in point for many heroes in the martial arts world.

The borders between countries are the places most likely to become economic and trade centers.

Leigushan Mountain is close to the border between the Two Song Dynasties and Dali. It is also a scenic spot in itself, with historical deposits and countless legendary stories. Naturally, it will have great appeal to people in the world.

Among those attracted, the most famous one is "Mr. Smart and Debatable" Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe became famous thirty years ago, but his fame was not due to his own abilities, but because he had a notorious junior brother in the world and eight distinctive disciples.

Two miles east of Leigushan Mountain, there is a prosperous town called Mingjin Town.

On the streets of Mingjin Town, two figures walked side by side, looking at the cultural landscape of this small town.

"Leigushan, Mingjin Town...the names are quite strange."

"I heard that in the past, when there was a war, the army would march in when the drums were beaten and retreat when the gongs were sounded. I guess that's where the name of this town came from..."

These two people are Lu Ping and Wang Yuyan.

"It seems that quite a few people have come to play chess with Su Xinghe!"

They have been walking around the town for nearly half an hour since they entered it, and have seen no less than five hundred martial artists. This shows how generous Su Xinghe was in sending out the invitation to the chess game.

"It's normal. This is the border of three countries. Su Xinghe invited young talents in the martial arts world. It would be strange if there were not enough people!"

Since they said they were inviting young talents, the "Deaf and Mute Gate" must have sent out chess invitations widely and invited people from all over the Three Kingdoms.

If they accidentally miss any of them, people will definitely think that they look down on them, and they will suffer revenge in the future.

I think unless you are an idiot in the ways of the world, you will basically not make this kind of mistake.

Soon, the two were tired from shopping and came to a teahouse to rest.

As soon as they sat down, Wang Yuyan suddenly said, "There are so many people invited to play chess. How do you think the chess game between the deaf and dumb sect will proceed?"

"How do I know this?"

Lu Ping called the waiter and brought a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks.

"I think it should be a similar way to passing levels - let the invited people play chess by themselves first, the winners advance, and the losers are eliminated, until the last few are left, and then they play chess with Su Xinghe one by one..."

Anyway, it will definitely not be like in the original book, where all the invited guests have to crack the Zhenlong chess game one by one.

Otherwise, Su Xinghe would have been starved to death in less than a day.

Wang Yuyan thought about it and felt that Lu Ping's guess made sense. She couldn't help but sigh, "Most people in the martial arts world focus on practicing martial arts. I'm afraid there aren't many people who can spare time to learn chess..."

This statement is just short of saying "all Jianghu people are reckless."

Lu Ping smiled and said, "If you have never learned chess, I don't think you would want to come and participate in this chess meeting."

Wang Yuyan was stunned and smiled slightly: "That's true."

After they finished talking, they were about to start another topic when they suddenly heard conversations coming from a few tables next to them.

"Hey, have you heard about that rumor?"

"What rumors? So mysterious?" "About half a month ago, Guan Qi broke into the Northern Song Dynasty palace, but was beaten by Zhuge Zhengwo and the Four Famous Detectives, and lost all his power. Now he is a useless man!"

This was indeed big news worthy of the attention of the people in the martial arts world. Many people in the martial arts world who were drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse stopped what they were doing and talking, and listened attentively.

"Ah? Really?"

"How can this be false!"

"Oh, it's a pity, I actually like this guy very much. I don't know what made him crazy to break into the palace. Now he has been beaten into a cripple..."

"I never thought that even a master like Guan Qi would be defeated. It turns out that the imperial court is still very powerful... I really don't know how strong the background of the Zhao Song government is?!"

"That's wrong! I don't think the Zhao Song royal family is that powerful. Guan Qi's defeat was most likely caused by the people of the Divine Marquis Mansion!"

"Although the Divine Marquisate is strong, the Northern Song Dynasty court also has masters like Young Marquis Fang Yingkan and Yuan Shisanxian. They..."

More and more people joined the discussion, but they were all talking about ideas and speculations such as who was stronger and who defeated Guan Qi.

That look is just like the netizens who brag about their fighting power on Tieba.

"Guan Qi...did that guy break into the palace again?"

Lu Ping knew that Guan Qi’s internal strength might not have been destroyed by someone beating him, it was more likely because of Xiaobai.

In the original work, Xiaobai had an emotional outburst and bluntly told Guan Qi that he had no love for him, only fear, and that this fear came from Guan Qi's crazy behavior and his shocking martial arts.

So in order to prevent Xiaobai from being so afraid of him, Guan Qi abolished his internal strength.

"I don't know how that guy is doing now?"

As he raised his teacup, Lu Ping felt a sense of worry;
When I finished my tea and put down the cup, all the worries disappeared.

"Since it has been half a month since the incident happened, if that guy was going to die, he would have died by now. If he was going to live, he would have survived. There is no need to worry too much..."

As if realizing that the topic was becoming increasingly off-topic, the person who had just spoken spoke again.

"Don't rush to argue with others about who is stronger. Listen to me. The fact that Guan Qi's internal strength was abolished is not the main point. The main point is the rumor that broke out afterwards!"

"Hmm? What rumors?"

"Tell me something quickly, I really don't believe there is anything more explosive than 'Guan Qi breaks into the palace and is deposed'!"

"The rumor says that Guan Qi broke into the Northern Song Dynasty palace because he coveted the beauty of the Northern Song Dynasty Queen Mother!"

"what?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the people in the teahouse who were arguing heatedly and with red faces fell silent, and turned their heads to stare at the whistleblower in a daze.

After a long while, the person who was sitting at the same table with the whistleblower took a deep breath and said, "That Guan Qi... I've never heard that he is a womanizer?"

"That's the problem!"

The whistleblower chuckled and continued, "The rumor says that before the Northern Song Empress Dowager entered the palace, she was Guan Qi's mistress, and the current Northern Song Emperor is also Guan Qi's son!"

"What?!"
Everyone in the teahouse, including the waiter, could no longer sit still.

"Sir, please don't talk about this kind of thing in this shop..."

The whistleblower didn't take it seriously and waved his hand, saying, "This is the border of three kingdoms, not the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. What are you afraid of?"

Turning his head, he continued, "In the past, there were rumors in the martial arts world that the Northern Song emperor's bloodline was impure, but no one took it seriously at the time."

"Now that the Guan Qi incident has happened, somehow this rumor has been brought up again and spread very quickly throughout the martial arts world, as if someone wants to prove this statement."

"Some people also say that the Southern Song emperor was very active in this matter. Not only did he order the rumors to be suppressed, he also expressed the idea of ​​'testing bloodline and proving his identity.'"

"Hey... I think he played hard to get really well!"

"If the test shows that the Northern Song emperor's surname is Zhao, then everything will be fine. But if the test shows that the Northern Song emperor's surname is Guan, what do you think will happen next?"

The teahouse suddenly became unusually quiet.

No matter how dumb you are, you can tell something is wrong at this moment.

After a long time, someone spoke out what everyone was thinking.

"Could it be... that a war is about to break out between the two Song dynasties?"
