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

Chapter 545: Hunyuantai decides the country

"Zhu" is a unit of mass, twenty-four Zhu equals one Liang.

It is recorded in the "Dīrgha Āgama Sutra, Century Sutra, Trayastrimsa Heaven Chapter" that the clothes of Trayastrimsa Heaven weigh six zhu, which means that his clothes weigh only one-fourth of an liang, and are extremely thin and light.

Later generations used the term "six-zhu clothing" to refer to the clothes worn by immortals and Buddhas.

In front of them was Lu Ping, dressed in fluttering fairy clothes, chanting poems, riding a dragon on the wind, descending from the sky. He looked like an immortal or a god, leaving everyone present dumbfounded and yearning for him.

No matter if it was the emperor or high-ranking officials who were in power in the court, or the masters or heroes who were unrivaled in the martial arts world, at this moment, they all held their breath because of this immortal shadow, fearing that it would frighten the people in heaven.

Only when Lu stood steadily in the center of the platform did the air resume its movement.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Not to mention the court officials, a group of people from the martial arts world exclaimed first.

"Did he... jump down from the 'Eight Stars Platform' above?"

"It seems...it seems so!"

"This place is at least 330 feet away from the 'Eight Star Platform' above. How could he jump down from there and still be unscathed?! How is this possible?!"

"How is it impossible? Didn't we see it with our own eyes?"

Because of the special structure of the mountain, people called the "Wangbei Chaonan Peak" the "Wanglai Peak", and called the two stone platforms the "Baxing Terrace" and the "Hunyuan Terrace" respectively.

"He has a handsome appearance and a graceful temperament. He is truly an immortal banished from the Jianghu..."

In the golden sedan chair, the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty saw the scene outside through the curtain and couldn't help but cheer inwardly.

"Before, I only knew that there was Xiao Qiushui with unparalleled magical skills and Yan Kuangtu who was unrivaled in the world."

"Today I realized that the martial arts world is just like the imperial court. There are always people better than you, and there are always higher mountains than the other ones!"

He spoke with admiration, without much panic on his face.

The "win or lose on the chess field" was Lu Ping's idea, and he even made such a big fuss about it, attracting important figures from the Three Kingdoms, which was enough to show how much he valued this matter.

If this matter is to proceed normally, the persons in charge of both sides must be involved, namely himself, the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty beside him.

In other words, the person who least wants anything to happen to the two emperors at this moment is Lu Ping.

Therefore, the stronger Lu Ping is, the more secure his own safety will be.

Behind the Northern Song Emperor, Zhuge Zhengwo was secretly shocked and couldn't help thinking: "This person's strength is too profound and unfathomable. Perhaps no one present today can be his opponent..."

Not far away, Yuan Shisanxian also looked horrified: "That day at the Seven Sacred Peaks, I thought he had shown his true abilities, but now it seems that what he showed that day was just the tip of the iceberg..."

As the crowd was excited, they saw a three-meter-high platform rising from the ground where Lu Ping was standing.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!"

As soon as Lu Ping opened his mouth, his voice was loud and high-pitched, like the words of a saint, and had a calming effect. The thousands of people present suddenly lost their words and listened attentively.

"In the past, due to the rebellion of foreign tribes, the Zhao Song Dynasty had no choice but to be divided into two. The two emperors divided the territory and managed to maintain peace. It has been more than fifty years since then."

"But the general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification. If we want the people to live a more stable life, the unification of the two Song dynasties is imperative!"

"However, if we start a war at random, it will only bring the people back into the dire straits of war."

"The two emperors sympathized with the people and could not bear to see the worst happen, so they decided to sit down and discuss the matter, and each selected talents to decide the position of the common ruler of the world through a competition between a small number of elites."

"I am not talented, but I am willing to be a notary for this competition."

"I have finished speaking. Who is in favor and who is against?"

Just a few words contain huge information.

Even though they had already learned the details of today's event from the invitation they received before coming here, they still found it absurd when they heard these things from Lu Ping in person.

As expected, such behavior immediately aroused doubts: "Master Lu, is it too much of a joke to decide the leaders of two countries with a few competitions?"

Considering Lu Ping's reputation in the martial arts world, titles like "young hero" or "great hero" are obviously inappropriate.

Because of his extraordinary martial arts realm and miraculous skills, which were very similar to the magic arts recorded in books, people simply called him "Lu Xianren".

It was the first time that Lu Ping heard someone call himself an "immortal" and he was a little surprised for a moment.

However, thinking of his own reputation in the martial arts world and the grand ceremony he had put on today, he felt that the word "immortal" was really appropriate.

"Even the two Zhao Song officials have no objection to this matter, so how can we allow others to comment on it?" Lu Ping looked at the two conspicuous sedan chairs: "If anyone here doubts the authenticity of this matter, please ask the two Songs to send representatives to explain it in person."

Before the crowd could follow Lu Ping's gaze to look at the two sedan chairs, they heard two "whoosh" sounds, and two figures appeared under the stone platform where Lu Ping was standing.

As the two appeared, there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

"Is it the Northern Song Dynasty's Grand Tutor, 'Six-Five Divine Marquis' Zhuge Zhengwo, and the Southern Song Dynasty's Imperial Master, 'Changchun Zhenren' Qiu Chuji?!"

Zhuge Zhengwo and Qiu Chuji looked at each other, then looked at Lu Ping, and finally looked at the people below and spoke loudly.

"What Immortal Lu said is completely true. The world will be decided by fighting. This is the decision made by the two saints after consultation."

"Yes, the two saints are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the people suffer..."

When everyone heard this, they all sneered in response.

The two emperors were kindhearted? What a joke!

If they really cared about the people, why would they have fought a war for more than half a year?

What's more, no matter how foolish and incompetent an emperor is, he would never take the initiative to do such a ridiculous thing as "deciding the fate of the country on a chessboard".

It can be seen that there must be a reason behind what happened today!
Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Ping and thought to themselves: It seems that the rumors are true. It is very likely that it is because of the deterrence of Lu Xianren that the emperors of the two Song dynasties were willing to stop the war...

However, it would be a good thing to end the war as soon as possible.

As for who wins or loses in the end, not many people care.

After all, for the vast majority of people in the world, who becomes the emperor has little impact on their lives. They only need to know how to farm and do business.

"With Zhuge Zhengwo and Qiu Chuji testifying, I think what Lu Xianren said is true..."

"Yes, yes, no matter what the reason is, being able to reduce casualties to a minimum would be the best thing for the people of the world..."

While feeling relieved, doubts could not help but arise. Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked loudly, "Master Lu, the two emperors want to fight to decide the common ruler of the world. May I ask how the fight is going to be conducted?"

Just waiting for you to ask!
Lu Ping smiled and answered with 16 words: "We use people as chess pieces, fighting on the board, no regrets about life or death, no blame for victory or defeat!"

After he finished speaking, he flipped his long sleeves and dozens of energy forces swept out from his body. In the blink of an eye, a huge chess board was carved in the center of the platform.

"Chess board?"

When the heroes of Jianghu saw this, some were confused, while others looked suddenly enlightened.

"The two emperors will serve as 'generals' and 'captains', and each side will select 15 warriors to serve as 'chess warriors'. The game will be decided by playing chess."

At this point, everyone understood the method of the duel, but they were still a little confused.

"In this case, the victory or defeat will depend entirely on the commander's chess skills. Is it necessary to select warriors?"

"Of course it's necessary!"

Lu Ping continued to explain: "Because in this chess game, if a 'capture' situation occurs, it is not directly judged as winning or losing, but the chess pieces of both sides are forced to fight."

"It's just that the party being eaten needs to give up three moves first."

After this explanation, everyone understood the rules.

In other words, if a chess warrior's martial arts skills far exceed those of his opponent, then even if the emperor makes a bad move, he still has a chance to turn defeat into victory;

On the contrary, if the martial arts of the "chess warrior" is too low, even if the emperor makes a good move, he may be killed.

The rule of 'the defeated party gives up three moves' seems to have little impact, but for the masters in the world, three moves are enough to do a lot.

If you look at it this way, it is indeed a contest of both 'intelligence' and 'force'.

Thinking of this, everyone present had an idea.

"If I can become a 'chess warrior' and win this game of chess..."

Not only would he be able to leave his name in the martial arts world, but he would also be appreciated by the future emperor, and from then on he would enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of his life...

Although they didn't say anything, the heroes' hearts were already beating wildly.

"The official showdown will be held in three months."

"In the meantime, please, Your Majesty, do your best to find martial arts masters who are willing to become 'chess warriors'!"
