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

Chapter 37 The man behind the scenes

Everyone was shocked by Lu Ping's sudden behavior.

"What are you doing? What if there is a trap?"

"You are truly a man of great skill and courage. You are so impulsive despite having learned from past mistakes. I, Xiao Yu'er, really admire you now..."

"No movement? Is there really no mechanism here?"

Lu Ping carefully examined the corpse in the cave. Although it was small, he could see obvious signs of years of martial arts training. Therefore, he could judge that the deceased was not a child, but a hunchbacked adult, which was exactly the same as the record of the fruit-offering god in the twelve constellations in his memory.

In this way, the identity of the corpse is obvious: it is the God of Offering Fruits.

But, Lord Xian Guo is here, what about Shen Qinghong?
Lu Ping searched in the treasure chest for a long time and indeed found the token representing the chief escort of the Sanyuan Escort Agency.

The token was here, which meant Shen Qinghong did exist. But what about him? Could it be that he couldn't stand the loneliness and jumped down?

Suddenly, Xiao Yuer's voice came from behind.

"Did you notice? There are three treasure chests here, but the treasures scattered on the ground are obviously not enough to fill the three treasure chests. So where did the rest go?"

Lin Pingzhi thought: "In that stone room just now!"

"That's right! It's basically certain that the treasures were taken away after this person died and placed in the stone chamber just now. The person who did this is the one who made the treasure map."

Zhang Jing frowned and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't that person take all the treasures here?"

Lu Ping said: "This shows that the ultimate goal of the conspirator is neither gold and silver treasures nor peerless martial arts, but to cause unrest in the martial arts world!"

Xiao Yuer clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this: "I originally thought I was the worst villain in the world, but I didn't expect this guy to be even worse than me!"

"He is not after treasure or martial arts, but only wants to create chaos and cause fighting in the martial arts world. Even if the Ten Evils meet such a person, they would feel ashamed of themselves!"

After hearing this, several people felt a chill in their hearts: "If that person really has this intention, then he is indeed a hundred times worse than you!"

Lu Ping suddenly understood where Shen Qinghong's body had gone. It was in the first stone chamber they went to. It was the person who claimed to be a disciple of the Mohist school and left a suicide note.

The person behind this incident must have discovered this cave while digging the secret passage, killed Shen Qinghong and Xian Guo Shenjun, and then took Shen Qinghong's body and some of the treasures here.

As for why they didn't take the body of Lord Xian Guo, it was because his body shape was too special and easy to be recognized.

So the biggest question now is, why did the conspirator leave behind "Mohist Mentality" and "Mohist Swordsmanship" to point the clues to the Mohist school?

Lu Ping reviewed the whole incident briefly and found that in this whole incident, the issue of "whether or not the secret passage was discovered" actually had a very big impact.

If the secret passage had not been discovered, those who were searching for treasure according to the treasure map would kill each other for the treasure in each stone chamber. In their view, this was a conspiracy without knowing the truth and the mastermind behind it.

If the secret passage is discovered, it is equivalent to discovering all the stone chambers. If this cave is discovered, then naturally the "Mohist Sword Technique" and "Mohist Heart Technique" will be obtained. These people are one step closer to the truth than the previous ones. They think that this was once the retreat of the Mohist disciple, but it was used by conspirators many years after his death.

If it were a younger and more energetic junior in the martial arts world, after learning about these things, he might have impulsively inherited the mantle of the Mohist disciple and started to act as a Mohist disciple in the future, ready to find out the truth behind the martial arts world.

But Lu Ping is one level higher than this kind of people.

Outsiders don't know about Shen Qinghong and Xian Guo Shenjun, so they won't suspect that there is something wrong with the body of the Mo family disciple. But Lu Ping knows that the story of the Mo family disciple is fake, so the purpose of the conspirator behind this matter is to lure people into the Mo family's gutter!

And since he was able to survive among so many martial arts masters and discover the secret passage, this person must have sufficient means, force, courage and wisdom.

With the talented people selected through such a great process, and with the treasures and martial arts secrets found here, it will be no problem to train a top-notch martial arts master.

"Could it be that... the conspiracy behind this treasure map is actually a selection trial for the Mohist School?"

This world had a history of "a hundred schools of thought in chaos" four hundred years ago. Later, due to natural disasters and constant wars, the teachings of the hundred schools of thought were no longer prosperous, and their disciples scattered into the world.

Even though the various schools of thought still have related martial arts and doctrines passed down, when they travel around the world, they no longer regard themselves as "disciples of a certain school."

Lu Ping didn't know what the situation in Southern Wulin was like, but he had heard about the legend of the "scholar-knight" Shi Yanwen from Old Man Sun, and he had also heard of the name of the "dark doctor" Xing Huajun from the town's pharmacist.

The existence of these two people shows that this world has integrated the Golden Light Puppet Show. It is no wonder that there is the Mohist School led by people like Mohist Jiusuan.

If his guess is true, then the primary suspects in the conspiracy of the treasure map should be Wang Jinyan, Xuan Zhixuan and Huang Hou.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping suddenly remembered one thing: Jiusuan’s schemes have never escaped Mo Cangli’s sight, so did Mo Cangli intervene in this matter?
If... someone just happened to recognize the identities of Xian Guo Shen Jun and Shen Qinghong, and also found out about the Sanyuan Escort Agency case fourteen years ago, then he would naturally be able to see through this matter and realize that it was actually for the purpose of selecting talents and guiding people to join the Mohist School. Then this person would definitely feel disgusted with the Mohist School, right?
To do this, you just need to...

Lu Ping set his eyes on the token that he had just found out of the treasure chest, which belonged to Shen Qinghong and represented the "Chief Escort of Sanyuan Escort Agency".

Yes, I felt it strange just now. With the way the Mo family did things, how could they leave such a big flaw at the scene as the chief escort leader's token that could represent Shen Qinghong's identity?

Someone must have left this there on purpose.

With just this one thing, the person who comes can naturally lock the clues on the Sanyuan Escort Agency, and then find out who mysteriously disappeared that year, Shen Qinghong, the God of Offering Fruits, and the escort silver.

Then, all developments fell into place.

"Let's go. We can't get out from here anyway. We can only go back and take the road to the right to see if we can get out."

Several people went up the mountain at night, walked on the mountain road for an hour, and explored the secret passage for another hour. It was already past midnight, and even though everyone present was a martial artist, they couldn't help feeling a little tired at this moment.

"Okay, let's go quickly, finish exploring this secret passage, and get down the mountain quickly!"
