Chapter 329: Night Talk on Boat
Dong Qian’s words shocked Lu Ping, making him feel surprised and surprised.

"I didn't expect Gong Ao to be so smart?!"

This collection of passwords was indeed as strange and bizarre as he said.

Even if outsiders understood it, at most they would think that these twelve village chiefs were flatterers and recorded the flattering words of Gong Ao in a booklet and recited them from time to time for emergency use.

Who would have thought that they would be the passwords to Baidi City?
Lu Ping flipped through the booklet and handed it to Xie Yunliu behind him.

"Master Xie, do you think this is true or false?"

Xie Yunliu was silent for several seconds, then expressed his thoughts: "It's too absurd to be true."

"Is my status as the Eighth Saint of Ten Thousand Flowers ridiculous?"

"...In Xie's opinion, they are the same."

I didn't expect you were also good at supporting the main role.

Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Xie Yunliu snorted coldly: "This password is so embarrassing, I can't say it! Instead of relying on it to get through, it's better to just go in directly!"

Lu Ping did not comment on this idea, but in his opinion, given Xie Yunliu's character, it was not surprising that he would say this.

After taking away the map and password collection of Baidi City, the two turned around and left Wanling Village.

As for the bandits here, they have suffered heavy casualties and there are only a few left. Now there are the Tiance army and chivalrous men outside. It is expected that they will be imprisoned soon.

After leaving Wanling Village, Lu Ping and Xie Yunliu came to the river bank. They found a small boat that was still usable and had some supplies at the place where the boats were parked in the water village, and headed directly to Baidi City.

Originally, Xie Yunliu's idea was that he would go ahead to investigate Baidi City, while Lu Ping would go to meet up with the heroes of Jianghu and pass on the news of "the Twelve Linked Docks and the Japanese warriors joining forces" to warn the heroes of Jianghu.

The reason for this idea is that the situation is urgent and someone must go deep into Baidi City to rescue the disciples from various sects.

But he felt that even with his own strength, he might not be able to break into Baidi City, rescue people and then retreat safely. For Lu Ping's safety, he did not want him to take risks with him.

After seeing Lu Ping's strength, Xie Yunliu realized that his worries were completely in vain, and he changed his mind.

Since Lu Ping is just an unknown character, but a martial arts master who can destroy the water fort with one sword, and he also knows mysterious skills, there is no need to worry about his safety. Instead, he can invite him to join forces to investigate Baidi City. In this way, the success rate of the operation will be higher.

After all, it's a pity to send such a powerful warrior to do something like delivering messages.

If the two of them could go straight to Huanglong, subdue Gong Ao, and capture the bandit leader, then even if the coalition forces composed of heroes from the martial arts world were defeated in the end, there would still be room for maneuver.

Lu Ping was unaware of the change in Xie Yunliu's thoughts.

Of course, even if he knew, he would not act according to the other party's plan.

He came here to save the disciples of Wanhua from the very beginning. He had his own action plan from the beginning to the end. Even if Xie Yunliu could not come, he would go to Baidi City after learning the news.

As for destroying the stronghold and suppressing the bandits, that was just a matter of convenience.

"Thank you, Sect Master. Look!"

"There seems to be a fire in the distance!"

Lu Ping and his companion got on the small boat and drove straight towards Baidi City.

However, as soon as the boat set off, the two saw a dazzling fire in the night sky behind them.

Xie Yunliu looked at the flickering firelight reflected in the night sky, his eyes flickering, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "According to the direction and distance, the place where the fire started should be Qingfeng Village."

"Qingfeng Village... that should be the heroes' coalition forces taking action!"

Lu Ping immediately understood what was happening in the distance.

"I remember that there were six or seven thousand pirates in Qingfeng Village. Can the coalition forces break through?"

Xie Yunliu thought for a few seconds and said, "According to intelligence, this righteous army has seven or eight hundred people, and they are all elite disciples from various sects. In addition, they are led by Guo Yan from the Beggars' Sect and coordinated by Yang Ning from the Heavenly Strategy Sect. I think it should not be a problem to defeat ten with one."

"That's good……"

Xie Yunliu was undoubtedly much more clear about the strength level of the Tang Dynasty's martial artists than Lu Ping. Since he said that group of people could fight ten people at once, that shouldn't be a problem.

"In the beginning, the law was established. The eight trigrams gave birth to images. Wind is Xun!"

On the sailboat, Lu Ping stood at the bow, pinching his fingers and chanting a spell, using his own spiritual power to apply the landing technique inherited from Ren Yunzong. In an instant, the air currents in the air changed.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose on the vast river surface.

Blown by this strong wind, the sails on the boat suddenly swelled up, rustling, and then pulled the ropes and masts, driving the entire boat to move forward rapidly.

"This is……"

Noticing Lu Ping's actions and sensing the changes around him, Xie Yunliu was suddenly stunned.

Seeing his expression, Lu Ping explained, "Wanling Village is located downstream of Baidi City. If we want to go there, taking a boat is considered going against the flow, so we can either rely on the wind or the waves."

Now Lu Ping can use magic to freely perform operations such as inducing wind, starting fires, controlling water, and moving mountains. He can also easily do things like propelling a sailboat forward like he is doing now.

If he were to get lost at sea or encounter a storm again, he wouldn't have to worry.

"Use spiritual power to transform the power of nature and use it..."

"I see. Is this what you call 'magic'?"

Xie Yunlu has always been smart and immediately understood that this was how Lu Ping was able to become the Eighth Saint of Ten Thousand Flowers.

After carefully observing it, he commented: "It looks a little similar to the spiritual energy formation, right?"

Lu Ping guessed that he was talking about the Qi formation set up by Lu Zu in the Jiulao Cave on Mount Hua.

"The art of magic may sound mysterious, but in the final analysis, it is no different from the art of martial arts."

"The only difference is that a martial artist's moves are basically completely dependent on internal force, and the strength of the moves is completely determined by how much internal force the user has infused into them.

The warlock's attack depends not only on his own spiritual power, but also on how much energy he can use and exert in nature."

Xie Yunliu used to be a Taoist priest in Chunyang Palace, and later studied in Japan. He was knowledgeable and experienced compared to other warriors, so he could understand what Lu Ping said.

"In the magic, the different 'attributes', 'methods' and 'purposes' of invoking external energy will lead to differences in the final magic used."

"For example, in martial arts, some people use swords, some use knives; among swordsmen, some use heavy swords, some use short swords; in terms of sword moves, the Pure Yang Sword Technique and the Cangjian Villa's sword techniques are different..."

"After such classification and detailed summary, we can see that martial arts encompasses everything; the same is true for magic. With just a little change, it can lead to thousands of things."

Now that the two were in the same boat, it would take quite a while to reach Baidi City, so Lu Ping simply started chatting with Xie Yunliu, discussing the mysteries of martial arts and magic with each other.

"Spells and formations are the two major categories of magic, just like the difference between fist and foot skills and weapon skills in martial arts."

"The wind-calling technique I used just now is a pure Taoist spell."

"Perhaps some of them are similar to the formations set up by Lü Zu on Mount Hua, so Sect Master Xie feels familiar with them?"

Lu Ping used Taoist spells, and Lu Zu used Taoist formations in Jiulao Cave.

Both belong to Taoism, and both are means of calling upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once you experience them both, you will naturally be able to see the similarities.

Xie Yunliu suddenly understood what he said and nodded in agreement: "That should be the case."

After a pause, he suddenly said, "Speaking of which, among the many unique skills of the Chunyang Palace, there are many formations that use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to defend against the enemy, such as the 'Starry Sword Formation', 'Big Dipper Formation', 'Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation', etc., which are not completely driven by internal force."

"Unfortunately, I am not familiar with this path."

Among all the major sects in the martial arts world today, Chunyang should be one of the very few that can demonstrate the method of "calling on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth" in the sect's martial arts.

The statement "Other sects are practicing martial arts, only Chunyang is cultivating immortality" is not entirely a joke.

Regarding the three formations that Xie Yunliu just mentioned, leaving aside the last two, Lu Ping was very impressed by the first one, the 'Starfield Sword Formation', which had a very high upper limit.

Yue Quanhuai, one of the future big bosses in the martial arts world, was blown up by the six Chunyang disciples using this formation with endless "spiritual energy".

Thinking of this, Lu Ping couldn't help but suggest: "The Pure Yang Secret Art is indeed extremely profound. Sect Master Xie might want to study it more in the future. Who knows, it might help him to reach a higher level in martial arts?"

Xie Yunliu fell silent after hearing this.

Re-study Chunyang martial arts?
But I am now the leader of the Sword Sect...
