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

Chapter 564 Clues
Unlike the outside that was completely burned down by the fire, Zhongyi Hall was still well preserved.

Perhaps because this was not the first battlefield, the murderer and the Liangshan bandits were fighting outside and only set fire outside afterwards.

Compared to the martial arts arena, the Loyalty Hall is on a higher ground, and there is a high platform between the two. It is this high platform that blocked the spread of the fire.

Zhui Ming explored further, looking around to find some clues, and murmured: "The fire doesn't seem to have burned inside, maybe we can find something here..."

Suddenly, the voice stopped.

The two of them stopped at the same time, their eyes fixed on the corpses in the hall.

The condition of these corpses was different from those of the minor characters outside. Each of them had a look of fear on their face and looked like dried corpses, which was extremely horrifying.

Wang Yuyan was stunned for a moment: "This..."

Zhui Ming looked solemn as he explained, "This is what it looks like after the internal energy has been drained."

"The inner strength was sucked dry? But..."

Wang Yuyan suddenly shut up.

It's not like she hasn't seen martial arts that drain people's internal energy before. She is very familiar with "Northern Divine Art" and "Energy Transformation Technique". However, people whose internal energy is drained by these two kinds of martial arts will not turn into mummies.

She kept her mouth shut at this moment because she did not want to reveal that she knew about these two sets of martial arts and the existence of the Xiaoyao Sect, so as to avoid being suspected by Zhui Ming and even implicating innocent people.

But she didn't know that Zhui Ming had more information than she did.

"The only thing that can do this is the sinister martial art of 'Begging for Alms'!"

"Uh... is there a way to beg for alms?"

Wang Yuyan blinked, looking stunned.

I seem to have heard of this name somewhere...

Zhui Ming knew that Wang Yuyan was new to the martial arts world and certainly didn’t understand these things, so he took the initiative to explain: “I have only heard Uncle Shi mention it once or twice, and I have never personally seen anyone whose internal energy was drained by this evil skill.”

"I heard that only Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi know this skill, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that these two people have disappeared from the world for a long time."

"Although the Liangshan bandits are powerful, there are not many experts among them. With the abilities of Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi, they would not look down on their crude internal skills anyway."

After listening to Zhui Ming's analysis, Wang Yuyan's mind was like a flash of lightning.

She finally remembered where she had heard it before.

At the beginning, Lu Ping had mentioned to him that Jiumozhi, a foreign monk from the Western Regions, possessed two extraordinary skills, the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" and the "Art of Begging for Alms", and he might become a top master in the martial arts world one day.

Could it be that person...

But he seems to be a monk. Is it possible for him to commit such an inhumane massacre?
Considering that even Shaolin monks have the same greed, anger, ignorance, love, hate and desire, and can be used by the Southern Song court, it does not seem too strange that a foreign monk from the Western Regions committed the sin of killing.

Just as Wang Yuyan was hesitating whether to tell this matter, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar fingerprint on the corpse in front of her.

Wang Yuyan's heart was suddenly shocked, and she hurried forward to observe: "Is this... the Sanhe Finger?"

When Murong Fu was still alive, Wang Yuyan often secretly went to Yanziwu to see him. At that time, Murong Fu was practicing martial arts, and she watched quietly beside him. Over time, she had a considerable understanding of the martial arts that Murong Fu practiced.

The strange fingerprint in front of him was none other than the Murong family's unique skill, the Sanhe Finger.

The Chanhe Finger has never been passed on to outsiders. After Murong Fu's death, no one should have known this martial art. But now it has appeared on a dead Liangshan bandit, which means that the person who did it is very likely related to the Murong family.

Wang Yuyan paced in the hall, whispering thoughtfully, "My cousin is dead, that's for sure. The most likely person is my uncle Murong Bo who 'died' many years ago." "If he is the one who did it, then he must have learned about the cause of my cousin's death and came to Liangshan specifically to seek revenge. So his next target should be the Chai Mansion..."

Thinking of this, Wang Yuyan, who had originally planned to turn around and leave, suddenly had the idea that she had to continue investigating.

In her mind, since both she and her uncle who had 'come back from the dead' were acting for the sake of revenge for Murong Fu, the two of them were natural allies, and she should do her part no matter what.

Especially, Murong Fu's tragic death in Chai Mansion showed how dangerous it was. Even if Murong Bo had higher martial arts skills, he might not be able to take revenge successfully by himself.

On the other hand, after careful investigation, Zhui Ming also found clues about the whereabouts of the hijacked escort vehicles.

"From the clues we have found so far, Liangshan is undoubtedly the Chai family's black glove, doing some shameful and dirty work for them. Since the goods of Fengyun Escort Agency are not in Liangshan, they have most likely been transferred to the Chai Mansion."

During the Liangshan trip, Wang Yuyan and Zhui Ming each gained something, but their investigation is not over yet.

The two said goodbye briefly and went down the mountain.

A day later, they met again on the street outside Chai Mansion.

"What a coincidence, Master Zhui Ming is here to investigate again?"

"It seems that I was not wrong that day. Miss Wang's Qinggong is indeed extraordinary."

Zhui Ming kept smiling, but he was secretly shocked in his heart.

They both went down the mountain at the same time that day. Liangshan was at least seven days' journey away from Chai Mansion. Even for him, it took him a long journey, traveling day and night, to get there.

And the fact that Wang Yuyan also appeared here at this time meant that her lightness skills were no less superior to hers. How could Zhui Ming not be surprised?

"If we meet once, it can be considered fate. If we meet twice, it can be considered a coincidence. I just hope that we don't meet a third time in the short term, otherwise it will be difficult to end things..."

If an ordinary girl heard this, she might think Zhui Ming was joking or flirting, but Wang Yuyan knew that was not the case.

When he was in Liangshan before, Zhuiming said that he was investigating a case. If he appeared repeatedly in places related to the crime, he would undoubtedly become one of the suspects.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuyan spoke first: "I'm going to Chai Mansion, you'd better not follow me."

Upon hearing this, Zhui Ming’s eyes widened and he almost spit out his wine.

"Ahem... I'm so sorry, because Chai Mansion is also the destination of my trip."

The two of them just looked at each other, and no one said anything.

That afternoon, in order to prevent the other party from disrupting their actions, the two men had a friendly negotiation and got to know each other's purpose of the trip.

Zhui Ming needs to find out whether the lost escort vehicles of Fengyun Escort Agency are here. If so, it is necessary to bring the goods back;

Wang Yuyan needed to confirm whether Murong Bo was here, and secondly, she also wanted to avenge Murong Fu.

Originally, as one of the Four Famous Detectives, Zhui Ming could not watch others kill people.

But people in the underworld are different from ordinary people after all.

The imperial court of the two Song dynasties had its own set of mature laws for dealing with disputes in the martial arts world. In cases like Wang Yuyan's "vendetta", they could not intervene too much even if they knew about it in advance.

As long as Wang Yuyan is not in a killing mood and does not want to implicate innocent people, they cannot stop her.

And Wang Yuyan certainly wouldn't do that.

Another thing is that if they can obtain irrefutable evidence of collusion between the Chai family and Liangshan this time, they can be convicted of treason. Then, even if Wang Yuyan kills the entire Chai family, the court will not say anything.
