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

Chapter 377 Goodbye Yuan Tiangang

In order to track down the Red Sect, Lu Ping and his companions decided to stay on the Island of Heroes for the time being.

"If you two young heroes want to stay on the Island of Heroes, you can go to Canghaiji and find the proprietress Yuan Zhichun of Hongchen Restaurant. She will take care of your food and lodging."

"Thank you very much."

After leaving Wenxinju, Lu Ping came to Chen Yue and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyue, you have sharp eyes and a sharp mind. Did you see that Xie Cai's expression was abnormal just now?"

Chen Yue lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "I can't tell."

"Well... this guy has been disguising himself for many years, and his acting skills have already become perfect. If he reveals his true thoughts so easily, then there must be something fishy going on."

Soon, the two arrived at Canghaiji.

Canghai Market is a market built near the coastline. There are many restaurants and teahouses here, and it is very lively.

And because there are fewer ships coming and going, and there are no strong men who need to make a living at the dock, this place is more attractive than Tiandi Port.

Hongchen Restaurant is located in the most conspicuous location of Canghaiji.

Lu Ping and his companions found the exact location without much effort.

After entering the restaurant, the first person I saw was the owner, Yuan Zhichun.

Yuan Zhichun looked to be no more than thirty years old. She looked charming and affectionate, with a curvy figure and a soft and seductive voice. She had the aura of an older sister and still had some charm.

At this moment, she was smoking a pipe, sitting in front of a "young martial artist", quietly listening to him telling about his experiences in the martial arts world.

This is the rule of Hongchen Restaurant——

A story in exchange for a pot of wine.

Seeing a guest coming, Yuan Zhichun stopped the boy who was telling his story, stood up and walked over to greet him.

"What would you like, young men?"

Lu Ping and Chen Yue looked at each other.

They had been entertained on the ship of the Suzaku Chamber of Commerce and were not hungry yet.

"Well... let's have a pot of tea first."

Yuan Zhichun was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: "Are you two young men here to mess things up?"

"This is Hongchen Restaurant. We only sell wine, not tea. If you two want to drink tea, you should go to the teahouse across the street."

"Can't a pub sell tea?"

Yuan Zhichun saw that Lu Ping was handsome and Chen Yue was elegant. They were young and dressed like people from Donghai, so he didn't care and smiled: "It's not that we can't sell them."

"But the rule of the Red Dust Tavern has always been to exchange one story for one pot of wine. Since the two young men want to drink tea, I can temporarily change it to 'one story for one pot of tea'."

"Mmmmmmm..."

Lu Ping smiled and nodded, "Then please bring some good tea."

"Let me tell you the story of the 'Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust'..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Zhichun held out his pipe and said, "Wait a minute, young man. What Hongchen Restaurant wants is not the stories of the predecessors, but the stories of the guests themselves!"

The "Three Heroes of the World" in the Jianghu stories refer to Li Jing, Hong Fu Nu and Qiu Ran Ke.

In the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing once served as "Xuantian Jun", Hong Fu was the master of Gongsun Da Niang, and the bearded guest also left rumors in the East China Sea.

All three of them are well-known figures.

Lu Ping laughed: "Of course I understand this, I am telling you my own story."

"How to say?"

"The 'Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust' that I am referring to are not Li Jing, Hong Fu Nu and Qiu Ran Ke from over a hundred years ago; they are the newcomers walking the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty under the name of 'Three Heroes'."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhichun became even more interested: "Then I wonder if you are the Li Jing in the story, or the bearded guest, or the Red Lady?"

"Madam boss, your eyesight is not good enough. I am neither Li Jing, nor the bearded guest, nor the Hongfu girl!"

Lu Ping laughed: "I am just myself!"

The name 'Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust' was originally temporarily given by Lu Ping and his two companions in order to participate in the 'Sword Competition'. The reason for this was naturally because Li Fu was a descendant of Li Jing, and there were three more people in their team.

At that time, Li Fu compared himself to Li Jing among the three, while Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin were unsure about who was Hong Fu Nu and who was Qiu Ran Ke, because these four people had nothing in common.

After some discussion, several people came to the conclusion:

As a chivalrous hero of the new era, you should not follow the path of your predecessors and become the "second someone", but you should forge your own path!
So after that, they no longer worried about who was who.

A pot of good tea and a story are enough to kill half a day. When Yuan Zhichun finished listening to the story and left satisfied, an unexpected figure appeared in front of Lu Ping.

"The story is good."

"It's a pity that I'm not very good at speaking."

The person who came was Yuan Tiangang!

He just sat down next to Lu Ping and poured himself a cup of tea naturally.

Chen Yue was completely stunned when she saw a mysterious stranger who was wrapped tightly and looked extremely mysterious suddenly appear and sit down to drink tea in such a familiar manner.

Lu Ping waved his hand at her hurriedly: "Don't worry, although this old guy is a little bit frivolous, he should not be a bad person."

Having said that, he turned and looked at Yuan Tiangang.

"I just told a story for such a long time, and finally got a pot of tea. You didn't even tell a story, but you have the nerve to sit down and drink tea for free?"

Yuan Tiangang ignored Lu Ping's complaints and slowly finished the tea in his hand. After putting down the cup, he said, "Don't worry, I won't drink your tea for nothing."

"I can tell you where the Red Cult is."

Lu Ping was stunned, and countless questions flashed through his mind -

How did Yuan Tiangang know that he and others were looking for the Red Dress Sect?

Why is he here?
Why would he pass on information to himself?
No matter from which angle you look at it, his current actions are full of suspicion, but compared to Lu Ping's caution, Chen Yue doesn't have so many thoughts.

"Where are they?!"

"It's on this Knight Island!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue could no longer sit still and immediately set out to look for it.

Lu Ping quickly pulled her back and sat down again, holding her shoulders. "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. We don't know whether what he said is true or not..."

As he spoke, Lu Ping looked at Yuan Tiangang seriously and said, "Tell me first, how did you end up here?"

"I just came here to pay tribute to my old friend."

"Another thing is, as the 'Nine Heavens Inspector', I have to keep an eye on the meeting between 'Hao Tian' and 'Xuan Tian' to prevent them from doing anything stupid..."

"Although they have done a lot of stupid things now."

Li Fu came to Donghai this time to help find Mo Yu and Mu Xuanying, but he also had another purpose, which was to confirm the authenticity of the identity of "Nine Heavens Inspector" with Fang Qian.

Why does it feel like the Yuan Tiangang in front of me has a sense of déjà vu of the 'Mohist master touring the nine realms'...

Lu Ping secretly complained in his heart, and then asked: "Then how do you know we are looking for the Red Dress Sect?"

Yuan Tiangang replied calmly: "The Assassin incident has long been a hot topic in the martial arts world. It would be strange if I didn't know about it, right?"

makes sense.

"What else do you know? Just tell me everything!"

"..."

Yuan Tiangang chose to remain silent.

"If you don't know where to start, then I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Assassin brought Mo Yu to the East China Sea. I suspect he is colluding with the Hailong Society, and there should be a middleman. Do you know the details?"

However, this time, Yuan Tiangang did not directly answer what Lu Ping wanted to know, but proposed a deal.

"I know everything about this, but if you want to get information from me, including the exact location of the Red Cult's men, you need to do me a favor."

"...What do you want from me?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Some time ago, I made a divination and calculated that Shen Jianxin would have a disaster in the East China Sea this time. I need you to lend him a helping hand at the critical moment."

"Shen Jianxin?? What disaster could he be in?"

Unfortunately, even Yuan Tiangang himself couldn't explain it clearly.

"The divination only said that he would be in trouble, but I don't know what the trouble is. I just figured out that the solution lies with 'Southern Vermillion Bird', that is, you."

"When the time comes, you will know what to do."
