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

Chapter 293 Daoxiang Village, a new starting point
When Lu Ping walked out of Nanping Mountain, it was dusk.

In the evening, as the setting sun was fading, a melodious bell sound suddenly came from a distant mountain temple. The sound was ethereal, profound, and lasted for a long time. When ordinary people heard it, it was as if their body and mind were cleansed by the holy Buddha's energy, and they immediately felt calm and clear-minded.

"Nanping Evening Bell" is one of the ten famous scenic spots of West Lake in Hangzhou in later generations.

However, the so-called "Nanping Evening Bell" refers to the evening bell of Jingci Temple on Nanping Mountain. Jingci Temple was first built in the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. Now Dongwulin is still in the timeline of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there is no Jingci Temple.

So Lu Ping could be sure that what he heard was definitely not the bell of Jingci Temple, but the genuine evening bell of Nanping.

However, although there is no Jingci Temple, there are other temples.

There are many Buddhist temples in Hangzhou, such as the legendary Lingyin Temple and Jinshan Temple, which are all nearby.

To Lu Ping, all he heard was the sound of bells. It didn’t matter which temple the bells came from. As long as the mood was there, it was fine.

Lu Ping had no intention of worshiping Buddha, but that did not prevent him from judging the place where he was now - near West Lake in Hangzhou.

Speaking of the most famous martial arts sects here, anyone who is a martial arts person will first think of these two places: Qixiufang founded by Gongsun Da Niang and Cangjian Villa established by Ye Mengqiu.

Although Lu Ping was commissioned to deliver a letter to Wanhua Valley at this time, it did not prevent him from going to the two sects to take a look at the excitement before delivering the letter.

After leaving Nanping Mountain, Lu Ping didn't know where to go, so he simply used his Qinggong skills to head north, hoping to find an inn or tavern, or a carriage shop or something like that, and ask for directions to Qixiufang.

Unfortunately, I had bad luck. I traveled for more than half an hour but still didn't see anyone.

After a lot of effort, we met one or two pedestrians, but they were just ordinary mountain folks who went into the mountains to hunt and chop wood. They were not martial artists and knew nothing about the affairs of the martial arts world.

Seeing that his inquiries were fruitless and that the sun was getting darker overhead, Lu Ping asked if there was a place to stay nearby.

Although those mountain folks had no involvement in martial arts, they had chivalrous hearts that many martial artists did not have. After learning that Lu Ping was a young traveler who had come out to venture into the martial arts world, they immediately patted their chests and invited him to rest in their village.

Seeing how simple, kind, and hospitable the other party was, Lu Ping was overjoyed. He followed the mountain people to their village, and then...

"Ina, Xiang, Village??"

Looking at the three big words on the big stone at the entrance of the village, Lu Ping was stunned and began to doubt his life for a moment.

"Yes, this is our village, Daoxiang Village!!"

The villagers patted Lu Ping on the shoulder with a smile, and then walked into the village.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong?" a villager asked.

Lu shook his head and replied, "Nothing, I just felt inexplicably that someone had arranged for me to come here on purpose..."

The villager blinked and said, "I don't understand what you are saying. Weren't we the ones who invited you here?"

"probably……"

Lu Ping put aside the strange thoughts in his mind, smiled at the other party, and walked into the village.

At this moment, a prompt popped up on the system panel——

[Successfully check in at 'Jianghu World Novice Village' (2/5), and get the reward 'Shu Shen Qin']

Lu Ping's steps suddenly stopped.

"A mission to check in to the Novice Village? I almost forgot about this."

"So the reward this time is... the Shushenqin??"

The last time Lu Ping completed the check-in was in Qixia Town. At that time, he got Xiang Duxiu’s sword Buqunzhifang, but this time, the system gave him a piano.

But this is not an ordinary piano, its owner is the "piano slave" Yuesheng.

Yuesheng, the daughter of Wujie Zunhuang and Gui Puying, and the wife of Ye Shen, was from a family of witches and had a certain talent for magic. She once used this Shushenqin to play for the 'Son of God' in order to calm his restless emotions.

From this we can judge that this piano should have certain magical functions.

only……

"What a coincidence! I can now cast spells, spiritual arts, evil arts, and Taoist magic, but I can't cast magic!"

"Another thing that will be put in the system backpack and gather dust!"

Lu Ping accepted the reward, and then walked into Daoxiang Village cursing. Daoxiang Village is a very wonderful place.

It is said that the most ordinary people in this village are the players. The rest, whether they are doctors practicing medicine, security guards at the village entrance, or children running around in bellybands in the village, are all extraordinary.

Soon, Lu Ping met the first extraordinary person—Shen Jianxin, the security guard at the entrance of Daoxiang Village.

Cool white hair, dimples, a handsome guy who is the standard of a protagonist...

"Oh no, I almost sang it."

Lu Ping secretly smacked his lips, and then he heard a sound coming from not far away.

"Kenshin, get ready to call it a day!"

"Okay, Master."

After receiving the signal to get off work, Shen Jianxin, who had been on duty for a whole day, showed an indelible fatigue on his face.

He couldn't wait to throw down his wooden spear, take off his security uniform, and then lie down in the straw pile. He breathed a sigh of relief, then closed his eyes and relaxed.

Next is fantasy time——

A chance encounter, great improvement in martial arts, rising fame, praise from the world, a steady flow of wealth, a beautiful woman in your arms...

Snapped!
The sound of footsteps shattered the beautiful dream.

Shen Jianxin opened his eyes, sat up angrily, and let out a roar like a working man.

"Who is so lacking in public morality?! I'm exhausted from working every day, but you don't allow me to have a sweet dream after get off work? The most exciting part has not yet been seen!"

The night comes quickly in winter. It was not long after I got off work when the whole Daoxiang Village was shrouded in darkness. In addition, the moon was hidden and the stars were sparse tonight, so the whole sky felt heavy and depressing.

Shen Jianxin suddenly had a thought, as if that was not an ordinary night sky, but his own future, dim and full of despair.

"What kind of dream is this, Mr. Shen?"

A strange voice came from the side.

Shen Jianxin, who had never been called a 'hero', suddenly felt a magical power surging through his body. This power not only eliminated the fatigue accumulated from standing guard for a whole day, but also made him forget the hunger of not having eaten dinner.

Then he turned to look at the stranger beside him.

"who are you?"

"My name is Lu Ping, an ordinary traveler, I am staying in this village temporarily tonight."

Shen Jianxin then remembered that when he got off work today, he did see the uncles in the village bringing a young man over, so he nodded and looked at Lu Ping, and suddenly asked: "What did you call me just now?"

"Uh...Hero Shen?"

"Uhh—!!"

A glow of happiness instantly appeared on Shen Jianxin's face, and his whole body felt relaxed. He even let out a strange moan, which attracted many strange looks and whispers from the people around him.

Lu Ping was immediately ashamed and stepped back repeatedly, fearing that others would see him and misunderstand him.

Only when Shen Jianxin recovered did he pull Lu Ping's sleeve and greet him eagerly: "Little brother, you really have a keen eye. You saw at a glance that I have the potential to become a hero!"

"Uh... well, I heard from them that you know a lot about the affairs of the underworld, so I wanted to ask you something."

"What do you want to know? Just ask!"

Knowing that Lu Ping was interested in finding out about martial arts, Shen Jianxin, who was the martial arts intelligence expert of Daoxiang Village, naturally knew that this was something that suited his specialty, so he immediately transformed himself into a martial arts doctor, ready to show off his skills.

"I mainly want to find out the latest developments in the martial arts world..."

After a conversation, Lu Ping discovered that the Tang Dynasty Jianghu was not as simple as he had thought, a fusion of PC games, mobile games and animation.

Because the world is different, the rise and fall and development of various sects, as well as the fate of most characters, have changed beyond recognition and are very different from the original story.

This was a piece of cake for Lu Ping. He didn't know much about the original story anyway, and now he was just learning it from scratch.
