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

Chapter 531: Difficulties in Pursuing Life

The four people in front of me are not easy to deal with.

Wang Yuyan and Cheng Ying were suddenly frightened when they saw this, looked at each other, and then walked to table number 8, which was the farthest from them, and sat down in tacit understanding.

The second stage of the chess competition is that any two players play three games, and the one who wins two games first can advance.

However, not many people can crack the first level, so this venue appears so empty.

The entrance of Wang Yuyan and Cheng Ying immediately attracted the attention of several contestants.

The two young, beautiful, elegant and talented chivalrous women immediately became a beautiful landscape in this tense, stressful and solemn conversation.

Seeing this, Liu Suifeng laughed and said, "It seems that we are too ferocious and scared the girl to get close to us."

At this time, the chess player at table number one suddenly laughed and said, "You are the evil ones, right? I and Master Duan are obviously the good guys!"

The person who spoke was an old man with a white beard and wearing a black and white Taoist robe, while sitting opposite him was a gentle young man in white.

If it’s not Duan Yu, then who else could it be?
Lu Ping didn't expect to meet him here again after more than a month.

"Master Qiu, although we are both good people, our seats are too far away, and there are four heroes between us. It is natural that the two girls are unwilling to get close to us."

Duan Yu spoke slowly with a smile on his face, and every word and action gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

"Mr. Duan is right!!"

Taoist Priest Qiu twirled his beard and nodded, smiling slightly, saying, "This round has been decided. I admit defeat. Let's play the second round."

As they talked, they began to pack up the chessboard.

Lu Ping was wondering about Taoist Qiu's origins, but Guo Fu and others nearby exclaimed first and revealed the other party's identity.

"That person... seems to be Changchun Zhenren from the Quanzhen Sect?!"

"Master Changchun? Isn't that our master?"

Qiu Chuji was once Guo Jing's master, and he was also the grandfather of Guo Fu and the three Wu brothers.

Although these three people are usually active, playful and unlearned, Guo Jing and Huang Rong have taught them to respect their teachers since childhood, so they naturally recognize Qiu Chuji's appearance.

Looking at Qiu Chuji who was happily playing chess with Duan Yu, Lu Ping couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Is the Quanzhen Sect... also going to take action?"

Quanzhen Sect was a powerful underworld force in the Southern Song Dynasty. Together with Shaolin Temple, which was one of Taoism and one of Buddhism, they had always followed the lead of the Southern Song court.

With the conflict between the two Song dynasties imminent, it was not too surprising that Qiu Chuji, as the face of the "Seven Sons of Quanzhen", appeared on Leigushan Mountain.

Instead, no one from Shaolin came, which made the people from the martial arts world present feel a little puzzled.

Why doesn't anyone come to Shaolin?

Of course, it was because during this period of time, their temple was undergoing large-scale construction, and they were fully committed to renovating and rebuilding the places that were destroyed by Lu Ping and the Sweeping Monk that day.

Since Lu Ping and others arrived, no new players have come to the second level.

Wang Xiaoshi was surprised: "Why is no one here? Is it because the endgame after the first level is too difficult and no one can solve it?"

Lu Ping didn't find it strange: "Among the people from the underworld who came to Leigushan recently, how many of them really focused on playing chess?"

"Even the eight people playing chess right now have their own thoughts."

Lu Ping paused, and continued, "In the final analysis, for these people, participating in the chess club is just an excuse. Gathering intelligence and joining in the fun are the main things."

Now here, there are news that 'Liangshan joins forces with Zhu Shunshui to control the waterways', 'The Power Gang joins forces with Lianyunzhai to dominate the world', and there are also news such as 'Tang Shiwu's comeback', 'Bai Choufei's emergence', 'Di Feijing's dying struggle', 'Changchun Zhenren and Dali Prince play chess in a friendly manner' and so on.

Knowing this, anyone with a little bit of intelligence could roughly guess the future situation of the two Song dynasties and make appropriate responses.

Of course, Wang Yuyan should be the only exception among the eight.

She came here just to win the championship in this Baisi competition and meet Wuyazi.

"When you say 'each with his own thoughts', do you also include those two girls?"

Wang Xiaoshi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. He didn't know Cheng Ying, but he had seen Wang Yuyan once in Guiyun Villa and was even fascinated by her for a time.

But this time when they met again, Wang Xiaoshi clearly felt that she had become different.

"Of course."

Lu Ping curled his lips and said, "Girls' minds are always much more complicated than boys'." Wang Xiaoshi nodded in agreement.

It would take a while to determine the winner of the chess game, and it wasn't very interesting to just watch others play chess here, so Lu Ping called Lu Wushuang to an empty space behind the venue to test her progress in swordsmanship over the past few days.

Ever since her leg healed, Lu Wushuang has become much more confident. In addition, the moves of the 'Three Famous Swords' are naturally elegant and beautiful, so they really look quite interesting when performed in her hands.

However, Lu Ping noticed that there were many flashy and impractical aspects in Lu Wushuang's sword-wielding techniques. Just as he was about to correct him, he heard someone next to him clapping and cheering.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Hearing the noise, Lu Wushuang flew into a rage and shouted, "Who is watching people learning swordsmanship from behind? Get out here!"

In fact, she didn't need to say anything, the other party had already appeared from behind the stone next to her.

Lu Ping looked up and saw that the man had disheveled hair, reeked of alcohol, was unkempt, and dressed in stylish clothes. There was a wine gourd hanging around his waist. His steps were light and his feet landed silently, showing that he had excellent lightness skills.

The drunk touched his head which had not been washed for who knows how many days, stretched himself, and said with a silly smile: "I am really sorry, I did not mean to peek at you two practicing swords, I just happened to be drunk and took a nap here, and when I woke up, I accidentally saw it..."

"I see. Well, it is we two who have disturbed your sweet dream."

Lu Ping never cared much about exposing his martial arts, and he subconsciously glanced downward while speaking.

The official boots of the Six Gates...

As if he noticed Lu Ping's look, and also found that he was easy to get along with, the drunk immediately introduced himself, clasped his fists and said, "I am Cui Lueshang."

Sure enough it was him!

Throughout the Song Dynasty, there was probably no one else dressed like this.

Lu Ping must have thought: "I am Lu Ping."

When Zhui Ming heard the name, he was instantly sober and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. "You...you are Lu Ping? The Lu Ping who was covering Guan Qi at the Seven Sacred Peaks?"

Lu Ping never imagined that he had clearly acted out of righteousness that day and even exchanged a move with the Black and White Man, but now in Zhui Ming's mouth, he had become someone who was "covering someone else's retreat".

After a while, he squinted his eyes, clenched his fists, and walked towards Zhui Ming with a wicked smile, saying, "Yes, yes... Guan Qi and I are good friends who have met two or three times. I heard that you guys beat him up?"

We've only met two or three times, how can we be considered good friends?
Zhui Ming secretly groaned in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute! We didn't destroy Guan Qi!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

"Ahem, actually I don't know the details very well, I just know..."

According to Zhui Ming, Guan Qi broke into the palace half a month ago and bluntly said he was looking for the Empress Dowager. However, the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty was well prepared and sent the Imperial Guards and the Shenhou Mansion to ambush in the palace, waiting for the opportunity.

Halfway through the battle, Xiaobai came out and called everyone back. He called Guan Qi into the hall to talk for an incense stick of time, after which Guan Qi dispersed and left the palace.

The development is not different from the original.

It seems that even if there was no plot in the original work where Guan Qi risked his life to save Xiaobai, she still had feelings for Guan Qi.

"Then how did the news that the Northern Song Emperor was Guan Qi's child get out?"

Lu Ping knew that Zhui Ming appeared in Leigushan at this moment probably to investigate this matter.

"Of course someone deliberately spread rumors in an attempt to subvert the foundation of our Northern Song Dynasty!"

Zhui Ming clenched his fists, and was filled with anger: "As for the conspirators behind this, I have also investigated and found out a little bit. It is either the bandits from Liangshan or the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty."

At this point, Zhui Ming suddenly sighed again: "If it is just the rebel army building up momentum, it is not difficult to deal with. What I am afraid of is that it is the Southern Song government who is doing it. In that case, even our Shenhou Mansion will not be able to intervene..."

Lu Ping sneered: "He is the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and you are the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty. Why should you show mercy?"

"That's not the case. You know, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty also had the surname Zhao!"

Zhui Ming took off his wine gourd, shook it, took a sip, and sighed, "If I don't handle things like this well, I'll be blamed. Not only will I be in trouble, but I might even bring trouble to the entire Divine Marquisate..."

"Being in the officialdom, there are always many difficulties, right?"

Zhui Ming paused, and the wine turned into tears in an instant.

"Brother, you know me!"
