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

Chapter 49: Climbing Down the Mountain
Once the memory was activated, I couldn't help but recite it aloud.

"…The yellow crane cannot fly over, and the monkeys want to cross but are worried about climbing. The green mud is winding, and it twists and turns every hundred steps around the rocks and mountains…The peaks are only a foot away from the sky, and the dead pines hang upside down on the cliffs. The rushing waterfalls compete with each other for noise, and the rocks on the cliffs are thundering in the valleys…"

The road to Shu is indeed difficult!
Lu Ping's voice as he recited the text became louder and louder, confusing everyone following behind him.

In this situation, this person actually still has the mood to recite poetry? !

Still reciting "The Difficult Road to Shu"?!

"Boss, if you feel nervous, you can just make a few jokes like usual! Why are you so poetic now?"

Xiao Yu'er's voice came from above his head, "But this poem not only sounds pleasing to the ear, but also seems to be very appropriate for the occasion?"

This illiterate!

"Xiao Yu'er, keep your voice down!"

"As my little brother, it's really shameful for you to say such things!"

"It seems that after we return, I will not only have to urge you to practice, but also help you to make up for your cultural studies!"

Xiao Yuer didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Tie Xinlan reminded him, "Stupid! What he just recited was a piece from the Qinglian Poetry Collection, called "Traveling on the Shu Road". I heard that it was written by the legendary Qinglian hermit when he traveled to Shuzhong County and was based on the environment here!"

"Mr. Qinglian? How come I have never heard of this name?"

Before Xiao Yuer left the valley, he had heard of many famous people from the previous generation from Du Sha and others, but he had never heard of this name.

"It is said that this Qinglian hermit is from the Eastern Wulin. He is an expert in swordsmanship and his status in literature is unprecedented. However, he only came to the Southern Wulin many years ago and traveled for a few years. He left in a hurry after leaving behind his sword tradition."

"He still has a legacy left behind?!"

"Yes, it is the current Guyue Sect!"

Hearing this, Lu Ping couldn't help but ask: "How many years ago did you say, exactly?"

Tie Xinlan thought for a moment and replied, "Not too far away, it seems... just a few decades? It is said that he was still very young at that time, and people who practice martial arts have strong bodies. Maybe that senior is still alive now!"

Still alive... is this true?

Tie Xinlan added: "In fact, compared to his swordsmanship, most people know his name because of his poetry. But how many people who practice martial arts are willing to be patient enough to study? So not many people in the martial arts world know him."

Xiao Yu'er was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you knew all this?"

Seeing his surprised look, Tie Xinlan felt proud in her heart: "Don't think I'm an illiterate idiot just because I'm practicing 'Crazy 108 Strikes'! I also went to school for a few years when I was young!"

Xiao Yuer laughed: "So the person in front of me is actually the talented lady Tie Da. I am so sorry for my disrespect..."

Thanks to the jokes from these two people, the tense nerves of the others finally relaxed a little. Although the journey was still thrilling, it was also fun.

Finally, they arrived at the place where the mountain mist was the thickest.

"Further down is where the fog is thickest, about 27 meters. Everyone must be careful and follow my steps closely. Don't take the wrong step!"

Twenty-seven zhang is approximately ninety meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 30-story building. Combined with the obstructed vision, the journey down is absolutely thrilling.

Seeing that the bottom of the fog was still too thick to be seen, everyone's hands and feet began to tremble. Climbing from the top of the cliff to this point was not only a mental torture, but also a huge physical drain.

"I suddenly regret it! I really don't know why I was so impulsive when I was at the inn just now and chose to come to a place like this with you guys?"

Murong Jiu's face was even whiter than the mountain mist.

"Don't say such unlucky words! Think about the honor of your Murong family in the martial arts world, and then think about the reputation of 'Murong Jiuxiu'. You don't want to bring shame to your sisters, right?"

The words were clearly serious, but why did the tone sound weird?
Murong Jiu couldn't understand.

"...Now I know the reason. I was deceived by your sweet words!"

Lu Ping's mouth twitched: "I swear to God, I let you choose for yourselves at that time, and I also clearly said 'I won't force you'. You wanted to come here, don't slander your innocence for no reason!!"

After a short rest, the group continued to move forward.

One zhang... two zhang... five zhang... ten zhang...

The further we climbed, the heavier the mountain mist became.

When they entered the 15-meter-thick fog, ordinary people could no longer see anything more than three meters away with the naked eye. The group could only walk down more carefully based on the traces of the previous person's movement.

However, fate always brings about what you fear.

Because this cliff has been exposed to the sun and mountain mist for many years, some places have been severely weathered and cannot withstand any weight at all.

When passing a steep place, Murong Jiu just stepped on a protruding rock when the rock suddenly collapsed!

The process of climbing downwards is to use the force from front and back, first stand firmly in the next step, and then retract the previous step. Now the landing point of the next step collapses, and the force of the previous step is being retracted, so the body has nowhere to use the force.

The sudden change came unexpectedly. Murong Jiu didn't have time to react. He stepped on empty air and fell down!
The falling body, accompanied by shrill screams, made Lu Ping below feel visual, auditory, and even tactile shocks.

Because the person fell directly on him.

Fortunately, it hit him.

According to the kinetic energy calculation formula, the faster an object moves, the greater its kinetic energy. According to the free fall motion calculation formula, the longer the object falls, the greater its instantaneous speed at the end. When climbing, Murong Jiu was less than two meters away from Lu Ping, so the impact of her fall was still within the range that Lu Ping could bear.

Although the soft flesh on his head came suddenly, Lu Ping still reacted in the first instant. With quick eyes and hands, he stretched out his arms and grabbed the vines tied to Murong Jiu.

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."

However, before Lu Ping could feel proud of his heroic act of saving the beauty, something unexpected happened again.

At the moment when Murong Jiu fell, the people above heard her scream, but due to their unclear vision, they were distracted and the internal energy that was originally running carefully in their bodies finally went wrong.

With his true Qi disordered, his breath and strength were naturally affected as well. By the time he realized that Lu Ping was watching below and that nothing serious would happen, it was already too late.

One person was distracted, two people were exhausted, three people were stunned, and four people gave up. The team that could barely maintain itself was now like a collapsed bonomelette, falling down one after another.

Lu Ping's pupils shrank immediately: "These guys...did they discuss this and team up to cheat me?!"

If only one person falls, I can still catch him. But if five of you fall together, do you expect me to grow four more hands to rescue you?
In a flash, Lu Ping's adrenaline surged and his mind became clearer than usual.

Now that things have come to this, we can only take a gamble!

"then!"

Lu Ping gritted his teeth, pushed hard with his legs, and jumped off the cliff. At the same time, he opened his hands to the left and right, and threw Murong Jiu in his hands towards Zhang Jing, who had just stopped falling.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Jing reached out reflexively and happened to grab Murong Jiu's arm.

The moment his hands were freed, Lu Ping immediately started to practice his mental skills. His tremendous inner strength turned into a strong wind and pushed upwards. It was the Confucianism's unique martial arts.

"Gentleman style!"

The strong wind blowing from the bottom up alleviated the downward trend of the crowd.

But Lu Ping still miscalculated one thing, which is the impact of gas flow rate on air pressure.

Although Jun Zifeng held up the five people who were falling, the difference in air pressure in front and behind him caused their hands to fall off the cliff they were climbing.

If you can't grab the rock protrusions on the cliff, you will naturally fall again.

"What a hassle... Luckily I still have a trick up my sleeve!"

Realizing that his gentlemanly demeanor was useless, Lu Ping cursed inwardly and changed his moves with both hands.

"Catch the wind and turn it into stone!"

For a moment, Grasping Wind into Stone and the Gentleman's Style used before formed a combo that even Lu Ping himself had not expected, and a huge stone platform was condensed under the six people.

Lu Ping took advantage of the stone platform and jumped onto the cliff, running straight to the thick vine closest to him. At the same time, he transformed the true energy in his palm and used the "Box Sword Curtain Lantern", one of the Six Tianjue Styles.

The sword energy cut the vines, and when the vines fell into Lu Ping's hands, they became a life-saving rope.

Lu Ping swung the rope with force, held it in one hand, and wrapped the other end around the falling people. He then used the Thousand-Jin Weight Weight Kung Fu to land everyone steadily on the stone platform.

"Open the parachute and jump!"

From being weightless to standing firm, it only took the blink of an eye. Before they could react, they saw Lu Ping's body rushing out, and then they heard a "bang" sound in their ears.

Looking more closely, I saw that the criss-crossing bamboo frames had supported a huge canvas, which was holding Lu Ping up and slowly falling down.

"Let's follow quickly!"

The first one to react was Xiao Yuer. His adaptability was far superior to the other four. He was also the only one who could land on the stone platform with the help of the wind without Lu Ping's help.

Xiao Yuer stabilized his body a few tenths of a second ahead of others, so he could see Lu Ping's movements more clearly. After realizing the current situation, he did not hesitate at all, jumped out in the same way, and then opened the parachute he had prepared.

The remaining few people took a few deep breaths, finally came to their senses, and followed closely behind.

After a while, the six people finally reached the bottom of the valley.

"I declare that from now on, all of you owe me your lives."

Faced with Lu Ping's words, the five people felt ashamed.

It was clearly agreed at the beginning that we should go treasure hunting together, but along the way, not only did they not help at all, they also kept hindering us.

"I've been yours for 20 years anyway, so one more life won't hurt."

Whenever this happens, Xiaolin is always the first to express his opinion, which makes me feel very relieved...

Why do I feel that this statement sounds like a rogue who is not burdened by too much debt?

"You call yourself my boss. It's reasonable for a boss to protect the lives of his younger brothers, right?"

There is some truth in this.

Lu Ping nodded and looked at the three women with a somewhat eager look in his eyes: "What about you?"

Although they had teamed up to go through the Emei Secret Passage dungeon, and had also experienced outdoor outings, mountain climbing, and thrilling cliff jumping, and could be considered to have shared life and death experiences, after all, they had only met last night, and if you counted carefully, it had been less than a day since then.

I never mind repaying a favor!
