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

Chapter 42 Three Roads

"Sanniang? Is she worthy of it?!"

Zhang Jing was furious. He whipped the long whip at his waist and swung it towards Yan Sanniang. Fortunately, Yan Sanniang reacted quickly and jumped away in time: "What are you doing?!"

This sudden change left everyone confused. They were stunned for a while before they remembered that Zhang Jing's mother was named "Zhang Sanniang".

It just happened that they had the same name. This kind of thing happens a lot in the world. Why should we be so sensitive about it...

But Zhang Jing didn't just attack because of the name 'Sanniang'. She took action more because she was unhappy with Yan Sanniang's condescending attitude.

"How dare you order me around? Do you really think Emei is your home?"

Yan Sanniang has been in the martial arts world for many years and is not a gentle person. Seeing that Zhang Jing was about to take action and even used her own name to argue, she naturally refused to be outdone.

"Oh, you're right, this is really my home. If you don't accept it, just keep fighting. I just saw that you were young and didn't use your full strength. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"Fight me if you want. I'll fight you alone this time!"

Seeing that the two women were getting more and more angry and were ready to fight, the people nearby quickly stood up and held them back.

"Sister Jing, calm down..."

Zhang Jing shook off Murong Jiu's outstretched hand and said in a loud voice, "Sister Jiu, let me go and let me fight her out! I have never seen such a rude woman in my life!"

Xiao Yu'er next to him chuckled and almost couldn't hold back his laughter, thinking to himself: 'How dare this woman call others rude?!'

But he didn't say this, because he knew that if he said it now, Zhang Jing's anger would immediately turn to him.

He also wanted to see the two women fighting.

"How dare you call me rude?!"

Yan Sanniang was so angry that her eyes widened. She looked at Zhang Jing in disbelief, "Come on, come on, I'll show you what real rudeness is!"

"Okay, Sanniang, don't bother with a child..."

When Yan Nantian entered the Valley of Evil, Zhang Jing was already twenty or thirty years old. Now, fourteen years have passed and she is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Among the group of people including the Strange Hero, Yan Sanniang is the youngest, but she is also seven or eight years older than Zhang Jing, so it is reasonable to call her a child.

"Let me go, Meimei. Who are you helping?"

"Here……"

He Xiaomei smiled awkwardly. She thought Zhang Jing was just a child who spoke without restraint and acted impulsively. As seniors in the martial arts world, she and others should not be too picky with her, but they could not stand her hot temper...

Lu Ping, Li Gexiao and the others did not stand up, speak, try to stop the fight or offer any help. They just watched quietly. They also knew that when women are quarreling, it is best for men not to step forward, otherwise they will easily get into trouble.

Of course, it is unknown whether he also has the evil taste of watching women fight.

Anyway, the road is flat.

The four of them struggled like this for a while. Perhaps they had seen enough, or perhaps they were impatient to wait for the two Jurchens to fight, so Lu Ping and Li Ge smiled and stood up to persuade Zhang Jing and Yan Sanniang to stop.

"Okay, Sanniang, stop making trouble. If you keep going like this, it will be dawn soon. For now, we should prioritize investigating the truth about the 'treasure map'."

"That's right... You can't have a fight like this, why don't you find another opportunity? I'll definitely support you then."

Li Ge smiled and glanced at Lu Ping, thinking: How come this young man is so fond of melons...

"Since you have gained something on this trip, it is better to leave Emei before dawn. Otherwise, when the day breaks, the Emei disciples will start patrolling and it will be difficult for you to leave."

"Also, there is one more thing you may not know. Because of the two previous attacks on the mountain, Emei has deployed two groups of disciples to take turns guarding the place indicated by the treasure map. You'd better not leave through those two roads."

In addition to the secret passage that Lu Ping and others came out of, there are three more doors in this tomb, which should lead to three different places. Li Gexiao pointed to one of the doors and said, "Although this is the secret passage under the Emei Peaks, there is another way that can lead directly to the outside of Emei Peak, which is here."

His suggestion was actually quite pertinent. Considering the reputation of the strange hero in the martial arts world, Lu Ping felt that it should be trustworthy, but... "Where do the other roads lead to?"

"These are all forbidden areas in Emei. There are no treasures there. You won't gain anything if you go there."

Lu Ping suddenly felt something was wrong: "No, other places lead to the forbidden area of ​​Emei? Doesn't that mean this secret passage belongs to Emei Sect?"

If this is the case, could it be that the designer behind the treasure map is from the Emei Sect?
Li Gexiao shook his head and said, "I understand what you mean, but the secret passage, stone chamber and cave you came from are not on the Emei secret passage map. The conspirator behind the scenes must have discovered the Emei secret passage by chance when he was designing it, so he connected the two places to leave a way out."

"The evidence is that the construction materials and design methods of the two places are completely different, and the styles are also very different."

What he meant was that the matter of the "treasure map" had nothing to do with Emei, and Emei itself was a victim of disaster that came from the sky while it was sitting at home.

"We will investigate this matter ourselves."

Lu Ping also did not forget to maintain his persona of "investigating the truth about the treasure map."

"...That's fine."

Li Gexiao knew as soon as she heard it that Lu Ping did not completely believe what she said. This was both a bad thing and a good thing. At least it proved that the other party was not someone who would only believe what one person said, and he should also have a good sense of justice.

After a few brief words of advice to each other, the two sides said goodbye.

Li Gexiao and others entered the secret passage and prepared to go to the stone chambers to investigate and verify whether there were any omissions in Lu Ping's words. Lu Ping took the others and prepared to start checking in at the Emei forbidden area.

There are three passages in front of us. Since Li Gexiao said that one of them leads outside Emei, it is obviously used for escape in times of crisis.

In other words, the other two roads lead to the forbidden area of ​​Emei?

Are there two forbidden areas in Emei?
Yes, Emei has two peaks. In order to allow all disciples to retreat in times of crisis, there must be one connecting the North Peak and the other connecting the South Peak.

Lu Ping led a few people forward and found that Emei's "ancestor's tomb" was not just the one in front of them.

Next to the stone chamber, there are two side chambers.

However, these two side chambers are larger and more crowded because there are too many ancestors and elders enshrined, and the most recent generations have a clear gender division.

In this way, it will be clear which secret passage leads to the North Peak and which leads to the South Peak.

Lu Ping and others moved forward and walked through both forbidden areas.

There is nothing special about the forbidden area of ​​North Emei, except that there are a lot of books, manuscripts, files and other things.

The contents of these documents include the history of the Emei Sect's founding and development, the names of the more famous disciples and their experiences in different eras, the essentials of martial arts accumulated by successive elders of the Emei Sect, and some martial arts secrets outside of Emei.

With these things, even if Emei is gone now, there is still capital to make a comeback.

The forbidden area of ​​South Emei is quite impressive. It is a hot spring pool that can help people heal wounds and remove toxins. It also cultivates a Tianshan snow lotus of unknown age and good quality.

Lu Ping and others were not interested in these things, nor did they intend to break into Emei and cause trouble, so they just took a few glances and left, exiting the secret passage along the path that Li Gexiao had pointed out before.

The exit of the secret passage was a dilapidated village covered with weeds and yellow sand, with no one living around.

After coming out, Tie Xinlan and the other two looked around, identified the direction, and said, "This place is not far from the town. It only takes about a quarter of an hour to walk southeast."

"Then let's go back to the inn. It's almost dawn."

So the six of them set off immediately, and before the gangsters who were following them noticed, they quietly returned to the town, returned to the inn where they were staying, and fell asleep.

After working all night, they were already exhausted, hungry and thirsty.
