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

Chapter 29 The More Fake, the More Real
Lu Ping took the "treasure map" and found that it was not only crude and simple, but also abstract, like the graffiti of a three-year-old child, so he looked at him in confusion.

"I originally planned to go directly to Emei, but I ended up in Taiping Town. In order to prevent myself from forgetting, I drew the route on this piece of paper."

Xiao Yuer continued, "But I was afraid that you, a black-hearted fellow, would secretly steal my treasure map, so I drew it in a way that only I could understand, and then..."

"Then what……??"

Lu Ping glanced at him coldly, raised his eyebrows, and had already guessed what he was going to say next.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuer's next words were as expected: "Then, I really forgot the original route, and I couldn't even understand this map."

Ha ha……

"I wonder if you will try to be clever again in the future..."

Xiao Yu'er had an unrepentant look on his face and laughed, "Of course I have to continue playing tricks! If Xiao Yu'er doesn't play tricks, he wouldn't be Xiao Yu'er."

The three of them were silent for a while, and Lin Pingzhi asked, "Then don't we have the only choice now to continue following those three people?"

"No, they stopped."

The night was dark and foggy.

Xiao Yuer and Lin Pingzhi couldn't see the road ahead clearly, but Lu Ping could see it clearly. He was the one who led the two of them along the way. At this moment, the three women in front stopped and sat on the rocks to rest, breathing and wiping their sweat. Only he could see them clearly.

The scene was erotic, but unfortunately no one enjoyed it.

Suddenly, the sound of three people talking came along with the wind.

"According to the route on the treasure map, the treasure should be nearby, but we searched everywhere here last time and didn't find anything. What went wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping realized that this was not the first time that Tie Xinlan and the other two had come here.

No wonder they gathered together and were able to walk in the mountains for so long...

As I was thinking this, I heard three people say:

"Yan Nantian's reputation in the martial arts world is well-known. How precious is the treasure he left behind? He knew this very well, so he naturally hid it very secretly. It would be strange if we could find it so easily!"

"I still have one thing that I don't understand. Since there are more than three of us who know about the treasure map, why don't we see other treasure hunters along the way here?"

"Maybe we are too late and the treasure has already been taken away?"

"That shouldn't be the case! Although the news has been leaked out somehow, in my opinion, no one has found the treasure yet, otherwise it would have caused a lot of uproar."

Having said this, the three women fell silent.

Lu Ping was also thinking about these questions.

During the whole journey just now, I have been alert and observing the front, back, left, right and behind, and indeed I did not see any other people around. But it stands to reason that since the news has been spread, someone will definitely come to look for treasure, and it is impossible for it to be so quiet.

Suddenly, Lu Ping had an idea.

"Wait! That's not right! I seem to have made a mistake..."

His voice aroused the curiosity of Xiao Yu'er and Lin Pingzhi, who asked, "What are you talking about? What's the misunderstanding?"

"Well..."

Unlike the original novel, the fact that Yan Nantian hid the treasure map was not only known by those who held the treasure map, but was also spread. This was also the biggest reason why Lu Ping judged from the beginning that this matter might not be planned by Jiang Biehe. In the original novel, Jiang Biehe designed this trick to eliminate the powerful characters in the martial arts world and become the leader of the martial arts world; but in this world, this trick would not succeed because there are too many strong people and too many smart people.

The misunderstanding that Lu Ping mentioned was that although he understood this point, he still did not break away from the thinking framework of the original work.

Although this incident is not much different from the plot in "The Twins", since the world is different, not only the designers behind it, but also the environment of Mount Emei, the number of treasure maps, designated locations, methods of searching, etc. may be different from the original.

Simply put, although the same treasure map is the 'Yan Nantian Treasure Map', the routes, entry methods, and marked locations of each person's treasure map may be different...

Then it makes sense that they didn't see other treasure hunters along the way.

Xiao Yu'er's eyes rolled. "So you think there are more than one copy of 'Yan Nantian's Treasure Map', and the contents of each copy are different?"

Lu Ping nodded: "That's right."

Lin Pingzhi still didn't understand: "Even if your guess is true, what does this incident prove?"

Xiao Yuer answered quickly: "It proves the authenticity of the treasure map!"

"exactly!"

"Ah...why?"

Lin Pingzhi was stunned. He felt that he was the odd one out among the three, because he was not sinister enough and didn't fit in with the other two. "The more treasure maps there are, the greater the probability that they are fake, right?"

Xiao Yuer chuckled: "If you were the conspirator behind this and wanted to design such a trap, how would you do it? Would you make all the treasure maps point to the same place, or to different places?"

Lin Pingzhi thought for a moment and answered honestly, "Of course it points to the same place! This way, whether you want to catch all the treasure hunters or have plans for the treasure hiding place, it will be easier to operate."

"That's right! Normal people would think so, too."

Lu Ping asked again, "So when those who hold the treasure maps verify each other and find that the locations pointed to by the treasure maps in their hands are different, what will they think?"

Lin Pingzhi shook his head.

Lu Ping explained: "They may feel confused at first, but greed will soon convince themselves."

"Think about it, how precious is Yan Nantian's treasure? How could it be found so easily?"

"In order to prevent the 'Divine Sword' from falling into the hands of bad people, Yan Nantian deliberately created a lot of fake treasure maps to protect the real treasure maps, or stored his own treasures separately. Aren't these operations normal?"

"On the other hand, since Yan Nantian has designed such a complicated burial site for his treasure, it means that one of them must be real!"

"Therefore, the effect of 'the more fake the treasure map is, the more real the treasure map is' is achieved!"

Is this still possible?
Lin Pingzhi suddenly realized, and he finally caught up with Lu Ping and Xiao Yuer's thinking: "So now the treasure map is designed so complicated, the treasure hunters have already believed it!"

Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "Originally I just wanted to come and see the excitement, but now I am becoming more and more curious about the true face of this treasure and the designer behind it."

"Then...what should we do now? Continue to wait here?"

Lu Ping shook his head: "No more waiting, it will be dawn if I wait any longer!"

"Let's go and say hello to the three people in front!"
