Chapter 101 Hitting the road
Lu Ping didn't just go there to join in the fun. He followed the team because he activated a new main quest last night.

[Searching for Gu to Save People]: Go to Shen Gu Peak together, help He Wentian bring back the Gu worms needed by the Nether Doctor from Shen Gu Emperor Wen, and save Ye Kai and Zhang Yinxian who are poisoned by Gu.
If nothing unexpected happens, I basically don't need to worry too much about this mission. After all, it is He Wentian and Li Xunhuan who want to save people. The main pressure is on Old He. If I go there, I just need to act according to the circumstances.

Li Xunhuan did not go with Lu Ping and others because he had to stay to take care of Ye Kai and Zhang Yinxian, and also to be on guard against the mastermind who might make a comeback.

The departure of Lu Ping and others did not stop the story of the capital.

Because two of the top four selected yesterday died and two were poisoned and could not continue to participate in the trial, the recruitment conference was forced to be suspended.

When something like this happened, both the No. 1 Manor in the World and the Hulong Villa lost face, and the imperial court had lost face, so naturally it would seek revenge.

Thus, the investigation into the 'poisoner' and the 'embroidery thief' began.

Poisoning, murder, and theft, three murders broke out at the same time, plunging the entire capital into a cloud of mystery.

The Hulong Villa and the No.1 Villa in the World, together with the Six Gates, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and martial artists from the "Five Mountains and Seven Sects", began to conduct a thorough investigation of everyone in the capital, including local residents and martial artists who came to join in the fun.

The 'Five Mountains and Seven Sects' signed an agreement when the Suzaku Dynasty was established. While enjoying privileges, they also had the obligation to cooperate with the dynasty when needed.

Less than half a day later, Huolong Villa closed the city gates and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, saying "the murderer must not be let off, otherwise it will bring disaster to the entire Suzaku Dynasty."

That is to say, because Lu Ping and his group left early, and He Wentian held the token of the world's number one manor, they were able to leave before the city was closed.

Such a large-scale war not only made everyone in the capital feel insecure, but also, after the news was spread through the public pavilion, the entire martial arts world was suddenly in a state of panic, and everyone was on the alert.

……

On the other hand, Lu Ping was very happy.

The two-wheel-drive carriage runs fast, and there is wine, meat, and beautiful scenery along the way. You don’t have to pay for the food yourself, as it will all be reimbursed by Tianxia No. 1 Village. It’s really comfortable!
"If we take the official road, it will take two days to reach Shen Gu Peak, which means four days for the round trip."

"But it's not easy to ask Emperor Wen for help, and I don't know if my stupid disciple can hold on until then..."

Along the way, He Wentian had a worried look on his face. Three out of ten sentences he spoke were about worrying about Zhang Yinxian, whose life or death was uncertain.

Lu Ping, on the other hand, was heartless. He ate delicious meat and drank good tea, enjoying himself to the fullest.

However, in order to appear polite, he still spoke to comfort her: "Senior Underworld Doctor is a skilled doctor. At the very least, he can save her life. You don't have to worry!"

Hua Wuque just remained silent. He had said many words of comfort before, but he knew it was useless, so he stopped talking.

However, he is not like Lu Ping, who can eat and drink in front of others and be carefree.

This old and young couple, the old one is unhappy and sighs all the time, the young one is like a dull old man, stupid and wooden, he only answers when asked, but doesn't say a word when not asked, it's really boring.

Seeing this, Lu Ping stood up and climbed onto the roof of the carriage.

Not only is the view here broad, but there is also just the right amount of sunshine and breeze. He can also take the opportunity to practice boxing and martial arts.

After the one-on-four fight the day before yesterday, he has tasted the sweetness of Tai Chi Xuan and is eager to devote all his energy to this set of martial arts.

After observing other people in the martial arts world these days, comparing himself with them, and reviewing the existing martial arts, Lu Ping set a priority order for his own martial arts practice in his mind.

I have mastered the Six Wind and Thunder Styles to perfection, so I can put them aside for now;

There is no need to rush to use Gentleman's Wind and Grabbing the Wind into Stone. You have already mastered the tricks of these two moves. When your internal strength increases, the strength will naturally increase as well.

The six volumes of the "Abolish Heaven and Earth and Destroy All Living Beings" can be integrated with other martial arts and do not require too much time to practice;
The remaining martial arts are far inferior to Tai Chi Xuan.

Therefore, the most important thing for me now is to practice Tai Chi more deeply.

There are many Tai Chi moves, each with its own unique advantages. When practiced to a deep level, you can blend them together and comprehend variations. However, after comparing them, Lu Ping chose to focus on practicing a few moves with more familiar names.

The great energy returns to its origin, the energy is transferred to its extreme, the virtual realm returns to its hiding place, the earth returns to its origin, and the universe shakes the heavenly power...

The whole set of punches was performed from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning, and was practiced over and over again several times, causing the clouds in the sky to roll and the breeze to surge on the ground.

He Wentian and Hua Wuque, who were sitting in the carriage, knew nothing about all this. The coachman did not know any martial arts and could not detect any changes. Instead, the two horses noticed something was wrong and kept neighing along the way.

But the neighing was not because of discomfort, but because of refreshment. Lu Ping also noticed the movements of the two horses. At first, he thought it was the estrus period, but then he thought it was not spring yet, and saw that they only neighed when the air around them changed, then he vaguely realized that it was the influence of his own skills.

He glanced down at the two people in the carriage and couldn't help but complain.

"This time, people are really inferior to horses."

The day passed quietly and night enveloped the earth.

By chance, the carriage came to a stream, so the group fetched water and rested there, preparing to spend the night there.

Such a trivial matter as making a fire is certainly not difficult for these martial artists. They just need to pick up some firewood of suitable size and thickness, and then use their internal strength to create a fire.

Then take out the pots, pans, and bowls you brought, boil the water, heat the food, and you can eat.

The water flows down from the mountains, and it passes through layers of filtration along the way. It looks very clear. Moreover, this world has not been polluted by industry. The stream water is sweeter than the "mountain spring" promoted in modern times.

However, Lu Ping was worried about bacteria, so he insisted on boiling the water and letting it cool before drinking.

What surprised him was that Hua Wuque actually did the same thing, and said that this was taught by two masters in Yihua Palace, who said that there were insects in the water.

"Your two masters...are quite knowledgeable."

Hua Wu Que raised his confidence and started to talk: "According to what the two masters said, our former master was also a well-read, knowledgeable and experienced person."

"After the death of the master, the two masters left the sect and established the Yihua Palace in Xiuyu Valley."

"What else is happening?!"

Lu Ping was a little surprised. After all, the book didn't mention anything about Yao Yue Lianxing's master, or how Yihua Palace came about.

"What was the name of the sect your master and the two palace masters originally came from?"

"I don't know about this."

Lu Ping fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Besides the sisters Yaoyue and Lianxing, those who are known to have practiced Mingyu Gong include Shen Lang, Rihou, Xiao Wangsun, and the owner of the Seven-Colored Ship. Perhaps these people have the same master?
If you think about it carefully, most of them are related to overseas archipelagos. Could it be that the founder of Mingyu Gong is a master from some overseas fairy island?
It doesn't seem impossible!

One of the characteristics of Mingyu Gong is the ability to absorb surrounding matter into itself. Isn’t this similar to a whirlpool in the sea?
The two extended the topic from "water bugs" and talked about more scientific knowledge.

Lu Ping discovered that Hua Wuque's knowledge was no less than that of people who lived in the 1980s and 1990s. Even though he didn't know the reasons behind many things, he already knew them.

Suddenly, two footsteps were heard from a distance, one light and one heavy, one fast and one slow.

The two subconsciously stopped chatting, turned their heads and looked into the night sky, only to see two figures, one big and one small, walking towards them a few hundred meters away.

"Someone is coming?" Lu Ping immediately became alert.

After all, if it wasn't something particularly important, who would run to a place like this in the middle of the night and feed mosquitoes by the water?

Amidst the suspicion, it was the old senior He Wentian who explained: "Most people in the Jianghu regard the world as their home. There are streams and firelight here, so it is normal for others to come over and take a look."

Is that right?

Lu Ping did not express his opinion, but just looked at the two figures quietly.

Gradually, as the distance got closer, the person's appearance became clearer.

It was not until the other party walked to two hundred meters away that Lu Ping suddenly realized that he seemed to know the two people walking towards him?

"With that outfit and that posture, why does he look like Jian Wuji?"

"Ah? Do you think so too? Then it must be him!"

Lu Ping was not quite sure at first, but when he heard Hua Wuque say so, he could confirm it.
