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

Chapter 33: Room within a room
Although Tie Xinlan was somewhat puzzled as to why Xiao Yuer was so selfish, she also supported his point of view.

"I also think that he can't be Yan Nantian, because according to legend, Yan Nantian disappeared in the Valley of Evil, so he certainly couldn't have died here."

Murong Jiu asked: "Since you said he is not Yan Nantian, then who is he?"

Xiao Yu'er thought about it and guessed, "Maybe he is just an ordinary person who is tired of the secular world and lives in seclusion here; maybe he is a wanderer who has to retire to avoid his enemies; maybe he is a certain Emei master who is in seclusion here until he dies in order to attain enlightenment... In short, there are too many possibilities!"

Lu Ping performed some simple operations, then walked forward and looked at the coffin carefully.

Inside the coffin was a dead person who had been dead for who knows how many years, with only bones left. The corpse was dressed in the black clothes he had worn when alive, and there was also a letter on it, which was most likely his will.

"How is it? Want to open it and take a look?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Now that it has come to this, of course I have to watch it!"

Lu Ping nodded, picked up the letter, and read it with everyone else. It read:

'I was born into a martial arts family. When I was six, my family was involved in a turmoil in the martial arts world and was wiped out. Since then, I have been wandering around the world and suffered a lot of hardships... When I was eleven, I received guidance from a master and entered the martial arts world. I practiced diligently for more than ten years and finally achieved something... Later, I was harmed by a villain and had to live in seclusion.'

'If there are future generations who come here, they can inherit my legacy. I hope that they will uphold universal love and non-aggression, remember frugality and saving the world, maintain the spirit of chivalry, and help others in need.'

After reading this will, several people looked at each other in surprise: "Moxue?"

"Universal love and non-aggression are the ideas of Mohism, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The corpse is dressed in black, and there are vines entangled on the coffin, which is consistent with the description of frugal burial advocated in Mozi's Frugal Burial."

Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and analyzed: "It seems that the 'Mohism' mentioned in the will should refer to the Mohist school of thought, and the corpse in front of us was a disciple of the Mohist school when he was alive."

Tie Xinlan asked: "A disciple of the Mo family? What is the relationship with Yan Nantian?"

"Many of the Mohist disciples have the spirit of chivalrous men, and Yan Nantian is also a well-known hero in the martial arts world. If it is said that Yan Nantian is on good terms with the Mohist, or that he once joined the Mohist, it is not surprising at all."

Lu Ping said, looking at Zhang Jing, "Do you know anything?"

If we were to ask who among the six people present knew the most about Yan Nantian, it should be Zhang Jing. After all, she was his daughter. Although the father and daughter might not have met, she should have at least heard some information from Zhang Sanniang.

Zhang Jing frowned and shook her head, "I've never heard of such a thing!"

"That's strange..."

Murong Jiu waved his hand and said, "Forget it if you can't think of it. Didn't this senior say in his letter that future generations can inherit his legacy? I want to see what treasures he has hidden!"

Yes, treasure is still important.

Several people searched in the stone chamber, and finally only found a book of "Mohist Sword Technique" and a book of "Mohist Mentality Technique" on the bookshelf, which made them very disappointed.

"That's all? There's not even a bit of treasure?!"

"The Mohists advocated frugality. In other words, they were all poor, so it was normal for them to not have any wealth."

Because they only got two seemingly unremarkable secret books, "Mohist Mentality" and "Mohist Swordsmanship", the few people had no intention of rushing to grab them, but just took turns flipping through them.

After reading it, Lu Ping found that the internal skills recorded in it were only considered upper-middle class in the martial arts world, and it would take at least 20 to 30 years to achieve something. As for the sword skills, it was even worse. Not only did it need to be used in conjunction with the mental skills, but the moves were more defensive than offensive. If you didn't improve your mental skills, you could only protect yourself in battle, but it would be difficult to kill everyone.

In this regard, Lu Ping commented: "The owner of this stone chamber is so pitiful. He learned such poor martial arts. No wonder he was harmed by others and could only stay here and die in depression..."

As for these two Mohist secret books, several people either looked down on them or felt that they were useless to them, and finally Murong Jiu took them away.

Others had no objection to this. After all, they all knew that she could no longer practice the Fossil Magic because of Xiao Yuer, and she urgently needed a set of secret manuals to change her martial arts. So they simply gave up and did her a favor.

After spending so many days, enduring so many dangers, and working so hard, this was the only result they got. Everyone was very disappointed.

"There's nothing valuable here anymore, let's get out."

"The entrance was blocked by a big rock just now. Can we really get out?"

"What are you afraid of? If it can be turned off, it can definitely be turned on. If you look carefully, you will definitely find a way!"

Just as they were discussing and turning to walk out of the stone chamber, Lu Ping suddenly called out to them, "Wait, don't leave in such a hurry!"

Xiao Yuer and the others stopped and looked at Lu Ping in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"There seems to be something strange here!"

Lu Ping originally thought that there was a secret room at the end of the cave in the treasure map in the original book, and after opening it, one could enter the tombs of the ancestors of Emei. So would this place be connected to other secret rooms?
So he used his "Wisdom Eyes Piercing the Clouds" to shine a light towards the stone chamber in front of him, and he actually discovered a clue!
Although the move 'Wisdom Eyes Piercing the Clouds' cannot see through things, it can penetrate the meridians of the human body and see through fog, spells, array centers, and the core of mechanisms. Therefore, after Lu Ping used it, he immediately discovered that there was actually a mechanism starter in this stone chamber!

Lu Ping strode towards the bookshelf, pressed the stone wall behind the bookshelf, found the right position, and turned again.

Rumble…

In an instant, accompanied by a muffled sound, the inconspicuous, empty, and dusty stone bed behind him suddenly flipped 90 degrees along its central axis, revealing a hidden secret passage.

This sudden change made everyone's eyes light up instantly.

"Great, it turns out there is a secret room within the secret room!" Xiao Yuer shouted excitedly.

The others couldn't help but sigh, "This is a really clever move! Even if an ordinary person were lucky enough to find this place, they would probably just leave after getting the two secret books. How could they have thought that there is something else in this secret room?"

"Let's go, let's go... I have a feeling there must be something good down there!"

Lu Ping waved at them excitedly and walked towards the stone bed, "Maybe gold, silver and treasures are hidden in there!"

"But didn't you just say that the owner of this stone chamber is a poor guy?"

"I've thought about it carefully. This matter may be much more complicated than what we see now!"

Putting aside other useless clues, the treasure map in the name of Yan Nantian's treasure actually found the tomb of a Mohist disciple, and also obtained the Mohist martial arts secrets, which in itself is extremely unusual.
