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

Chapter 51 Underground Palace
Inside the gate is the hall of the underground palace, which is decorated magnificently, exquisitely, elegantly and generously.

Lu Ping had been to the home of the richest man in Taiping Town, but the furnishings there were like the difference between a beggar's den and the emperor's home compared to here.

Not to mention anything else, there are more things used for lighting than just the oil lamps embedded in the wall.

There is one in each of the four corners of the hall. Each stone pillar is about five feet high and is carved with four mythical beasts. Fist-sized luminous pearls are placed on the stone pillars, which continuously emit crystal clear and soft colored light.

There are crystal stones of various colors placed on the ground. They are also one of the light sources of this underground palace. Red, green, white and yellow, they illuminate the originally dark underground palace as bright as day.

In Lu Ping's opinion, this is simply a late-night KTV with 3D surround lighting using colored LED lights.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuer laughed and said, "Although the owner here is a monster, he knows how to enjoy himself."

"These night-light pearls and crystal stones are all very valuable on the ground. If, as you said before, this is only the upper level of the underground palace, then I can't imagine how rich the person who built this place must be..."

Lu Ping sighed: "Yeah, I can't imagine it either! Poor people like us probably won't be able to imagine how rich the rich are in our lifetime..."

Among the six people present, the one with the best family background is Murong Jiu. The Murong family behind her is wealthy and famous in the southern martial arts world.

If we count further, it would probably be Zhang Jing, who is Murong Jiu's cousin, and then Lin Pingzhi before his family was wiped out.

After all, the Fuwei Escort Agency is considered a local force, and is considered a small wealthy organization in the local area. As the young master, Lin Pingzhi can be said to have been born with a silver key in his mouth.

But now he is at the bottom of the six, even worse than Lu Ping.

"As the saying goes, 'When a goose passes by, its feathers are plucked; when a beast passes by, its skin is left behind.' The crystal stone is too heavy and inconvenient to carry, but as for this night-shining pearl, we should not be too polite, right?"

Lu Ping said as he stepped forward and took away the four night-shining pearls, not forgetting to defend his actions, "It's bright enough here anyway, putting these four night-shining pearls won't do much good..."

Zhang Jing couldn't help but complain behind him: "The Night Pearl is so big, can you put it in your arms?"

"Hmm? How difficult is that?" Lu Ping raised his chin proudly and took out a piece of cloth from his arms.

"Hey... why does this piece of cloth look so familiar?"

"Of course it looks familiar, I took the parachute apart!"

Everyone:...

You are really awesome, why didn’t we think of that?
"Do you regret it?"

Seeing the constipated looks on the faces of several people, Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Anyway, this place should be very big, so we are not in a hurry to search. You can go back and remove the cloth."

"By the way, if you go, find some vines and bamboo sticks on your way back."

Everyone was puzzled: "Vines and bamboo sticks? What are you going to do?"

"I'm afraid that I won't have enough cloth soon, so I plan to use them to weave a basket so that I can hold more."

"You also know this?!"

"You look down on me? I'm Zhu Ting's half-disciple!"

Having come this far, they certainly wouldn't go back and waste time.

Just as Lu Ping said, this underground palace is very large and they don't need to search it right away. They can wait until the exploration is over before looking for cloth and weaving baskets.

There are six doors in the hall, two on the left and right sides, and one in the front corner. All of them are closed at the moment.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

“I didn’t expect anyone could find this place.”

It was a man's voice, but it sounded a bit feminine.

"Where's the sound coming from?"

Several people looked around vigilantly, and finally found that the source of the sound was the iron cylinder above their heads.

If nothing unexpected happens, the person who was speaking should be in another room, observing this place through special props, such as an iron cylinder with a mirror embedded inside.

"It seems we have been discovered..."

"That's normal. The elevator made such a loud noise just now, it's not surprising that we were discovered."

As if she was disgusted by the feeling of being secretly watched, Tie Xinlan shouted into the air: "How can you be called a hero if you act in a sneaky way?! Come out now!!"

The voice laughed: "I'm not some chivalrous man! If you want to meet someone, just go find them yourself!!"

The voice fell silent after it finished speaking, and Tie Xinlan was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot and was about to look around for him. Fortunately, Xiao Yuer came forward in the end and stopped her, saying, "It's best not to act separately."

Several people began to search the palace, and the first place they started was the six doors next to the hall.

The two doors on the left and right of the hall lead to the kitchen, dining room, toilet and lounge respectively.

Walking into the door in the corner is a corridor, forming a layout of "hall behind hall". The decoration here is almost the same as the front hall. There are several doors extending in three directions: left, right and front.

The few of them could only continue to explore forward.

The surface of the underground palace was much larger than Lu Ping had expected. The corridors were winding and complicated, with many secret doors. Coupled with the decorations in a similar style, several people almost got lost.

"How exactly is the structure here designed? It gives me a headache walking all the way here..."

"When Ouyang Ting built this place, he reserved a population of five families. If we do a quick calculation, there are at least ten people. It's not surprising that it was built so big..."

Lu Ping said calmly: "It is a bit complicated, but I have to admit that all kinds of living facilities are well prepared!"

Soon, the group arrived in front of a door.

Just like the previous exploration process, Xiaoyuer, who was walking in the front, pushed it open casually. After seeing the scene inside clearly, the group of people were immediately shocked.

There was a huge bed in it, and lying on it were a group of handsome men wearing loose robes and with elegant looks.

Judging from their appearance, these men are probably in their twenties. Each of them is handsome and fair-skinned, just like those popular star idols on the Internet.

The difference was that they all looked like they had kidney deficiency. Lu Ping, who had half a year of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, could tell at a glance that their bodies had been drained and hollowed out, which was why they looked so lifeless and weak.

"Are these the people who just spoke?"

"It should be."

"They look so strange, are they poisoned?"

Lu Ping clicked his tongue when he heard this, and a sly smile appeared in the corner of his eyes: "Poisoned? Haha... This is something more powerful than poison! You guys are still young, it's normal that you don't understand."

"Don't understand? I'm from the Valley of Evil, who am I looking down on?"

Most people in the underworld mature precociously. Even the 14-year-old Xiao Yuer can get a glimpse of the situation. After seeing the scene in front of him, he realizes where this place is and who is in front of him, not to mention other people.

Lu Ping was silent for a while after hearing this: "Now I am the one who is ignorant, right?"

Tie Xinlan asked, "Are you the masters of this place?"

"Master? We are not the masters..."

Although they had already learned the general information about the underground palace from Lu Ping, they still had to ask questions to ensure that the information they currently had was accurate.

It seemed that their hearts had long since died, so these men answered almost every question from Lu Ping and others, but they did not even ask about their origins, how they got in, and what they were doing there.

So after a brief conversation, Lu Ping could roughly confirm that the situation here was not much different from what he knew -

An underground palace controlled by the "Queen", where she can collect male favorites and seek pleasure.

If nothing unexpected happens, the queen they are talking about is Xiao Mimi. However, we learned from these men that she is not in the palace now, but has gone out to buy food.

“Purchasing food? I’m curious, how do you transport the food here from outside?”

One of the men answered, "Every time she goes shopping, she takes two people with her. After buying things outside, she asks them to bring them in through the secret passage."

"It sounds like you all know about the existence of the secret passage, so why don't you escape while you're shopping?"

Another man said, "She will keep an eye on people who go out to buy things. They won't have a chance to escape. They will also have to take poison. If they don't come back in time, they will die immediately."

Then, another person continued, "Every time we enter or leave the secret passage, she would block the door with a mechanism. With our condition, there is no way for us to get out even if we want to."

This kind of dark and gloomy imprisonment is indeed miserable.

Young guys in their twenties are supposed to be at their strongest and most energetic, but unfortunately their opponent is Xiao Mimi, who looks delicate and young, but is actually over 40 years old, so the outcome is already doomed.

Even if eight of them attacked her together, they would still not be a match for her!

At this moment, Lu Ping suddenly thought of the hang glider he had seen under the cliff before, and asked again: "Then... when was the last time a new person joined you? Is that person still here?"

The other party hesitated for a few seconds and said, "The most recent time... was at least ten days ago. We basically don't go out, and we only rely on three meals a day to judge the past days."

Hearing this, I felt even more sad.

"As for the person who came most recently... Look, he's right there!"

Following the gaze of the person who was speaking, Lu Ping and others looked over and discovered that among the group of people, there was actually an older man who was not awakened by their conversation and was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Lu Ping walked in and found that the sleeping man was different from the others.

This man did not have the decadent look of the others who were drained by beauty. Instead, he had a good physique, a long breath, and strong arms. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts and had good internal strength.

Another thing is that although he is a little older, probably in his thirties or forties, he can still be seen as a rare handsome uncle.

"This guy is a master!"

Xiao Yuer made this judgment after just one glance.

Lin Pingzhi blinked and asked, "How did you figure that out?"

He didn't have much experience in this area, so he would ask the two 'little brothers' for advice whenever he had the chance.

"The breathing, physique, hands and feet, facial features, and complexion of martial artists are very different from those of ordinary people. People like him are definitely not ordinary people in the martial arts world."

Xiao Yuer paused after speaking, and used a relatively easy-to-understand comparison: "His strength is not inferior to the four people we met last night!"

The four people last night were Li Gexiao's group.

And 'Yizhimei' is already one of the famous 'Seven Monsters' in the martial arts world of Suzaku Dynasty. There are not many people in the martial arts world who are stronger than the four of them combined.

"Look at his hands, they are big and wide, and his index and middle fingers are much longer than those of ordinary people. If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be specialized in palm or finger techniques."

"I see……"

Lin Pingzhi nodded as if he understood, but then felt something was wrong and asked, "But if his martial arts skills are really that high, why is he still sleeping so soundly after all of us have walked here?"

"Well..."

"Because he is not really asleep, but pretending to be asleep. He wants to see what our purpose is!" Lu Ping spoke up to answer Lin Pingzhi's doubts.

"Boss, how do you know he's pretending to be asleep?"

Lu Ping chuckled: "Not only do I know he is pretending to be asleep, I also know who this person is!"

"Eh? Who is he?" several people behind asked at the same time.

"He is the 'Four Eyebrows' who is famous in the Southern Martial Arts World and is said to have 'two fingers that are more valuable than diamonds of the same size', Lu Xiaofeng!"

After his identity was exposed, Lu Xiaofeng stopped pretending.

He opened his eyes, smiled at Lu Ping and the others, then turned over and sat up, with a slightly smug look on his face: "I didn't expect that a kid your age could recognize me. It seems that I haven't been doing too badly these years!"
