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

Chapter 492: Jiumozhi Visits the Temple

Upon hearing this name, Lu Ping was stunned.

“…Who are you talking about??”

"Li Canghai!"

One Hundred Years of Solitude repeated the name again, then waved his hand impatiently: "Why are you asking so many questions? You are a young man, you must have never heard of this name."

No, I have actually heard of this name.

"You may not believe it, but she is indeed the most perfect woman I have ever seen in my life..."

Can you please pay attention to your image? I'm drooling!

"Why not believe this? Since he was able to charm both you and Master Ku Rong at the same time, it's obvious that the senior named Li Canghai must be quite outstanding."

If Bai Nian Gu Ji knew that it was not only him and Ku Rong who fell in love with Li Cang Hai, but also Wuyazi from Xiaoyao Sect, who knew how he would feel...

Lu Ping digested this information for a while, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "You just said that Senior Li has someone in his heart, so he rejected the pursuit of you two."

"But I wonder which lucky guy will be able to win the favor of the beauty?"

Hundred Years of Solitude snorted coldly, and seemed reluctant to mention the love rival, but he finally said it: "The name of that man is also quite famous in the martial arts world nowadays. If nothing unexpected happens, you must have heard of his name."

"But back then, he was not a man of the martial arts world. He was just an ordinary weak scholar who had no martial arts skills and was powerless."

"He is just an ordinary scholar, but he has bewitched Li Canghai. This is what makes me angry."

Lu Ping's eyes twitched when he heard this.

What level are you? How dare you look down on a weak scholar who is making his way in the world?
Why does this resume sound so familiar?
Bai Nian Gu Ji sighed and continued, "No one would have thought that the scholar would eventually turn literature into martial arts. After reading a large number of Taoist books, he created a peerless martial arts and became one of the top masters in the world in a blink of an eye."

"That man is Huang Shang, one of the 'three heroes' of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Lu Ping did not continue to explore the story of Li Canghai and Huang Shang.

In fact, One Hundred Years of Solitude himself didn't know much. After his confession was rejected, he became disheartened and wandered around the world alone. He never met Li Canghai again.

It was not until many years later, when Huang Shang became famous for the "Nine Yin Scriptures", that he remembered that this was the name of the scholar who had stole his beloved's love.

But at that time, there was no trace of Li Canghai by Huang Shang's side.

After several years, Huang Shang also disappeared from the sight of the people in the martial arts world. His whereabouts were unknown. Only a copy of the Nine Yin Scriptures remained to prove that such a person had indeed existed in the martial arts world.

Lu Ping calculated the time in his mind and knew that Huang Shang’s experience must be different from that in Jin Shu.

The setting in Jin Shu's world is that Huang Shang's family was slaughtered by thieves. He wanted to take revenge but his martial arts were not good enough, so he could only pin his hopes on the court, and thus he took the imperial examination to become an official.

After becoming an official, Huang Shang used his power to read a large number of Taoist books stored in the palace. He worked hard to create the Nine Yin Scriptures and became a peerless master.

But when he came out, he found that his enemy had died long ago, so he entrusted the Nine Yin Scriptures to Wang Chongyang and disappeared.

But in this world, because of the foreign invasion of Zhao Song in the past, Huang Shang did not successfully pass the imperial examination to become an official, so people in the world did not know where he read the classics and how he created the Nine Yin Scriptures.

Lu Ping guessed that the reason might be related to Li Canghai, but there was no way to verify it at the moment.

The next day, Lu Ping was pulled out of bed by Hundred Years of Solitude.

"Boy, hurry up and watch the show, here comes Jiumozhi who is looking for trouble!"

Lu Ping woke up instantly.

By the time he finished washing up and hurried from the guest room to the Muni Hall, many people had already gathered there.

On the Tianlong Temple side, the leader was Master Kurong, and next to him were Yideng, Benxiang, Benyin, Bencan, and Benguan. The group sat on the cushions at the east end.

Sitting on the cushions at the west end were a dozen monks from the Western Regions, each of them a ferocious and terrifying man.

The leader was different. He was less than fifty years old, wearing a yellow monk's robe, cloth clothes and straw sandals. His face was full of energy, and there was a faint flowing of precious light, like pearls and jade, shining naturally.

Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that this person is Jiumozhi.

Next to him was an open golden box with three books inside. Lu Ping glanced at other parts of the hall and found many young monks standing around, in addition to Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang.

One Hundred Years of Solitude sat as a guest next to the monks of Tianlong Temple.

Lu Ping stepped forward and heard Jiumozhi say: "...Mr. Murong gave me these three volumes of rare books. I have benefited a lot from reading and studying them."

"I now wish to exchange these three volumes of rare books with your temple for the Six Meridians Divine Sword Sutra. If you, the masters, agree, and I can fulfill my promise, I will be very grateful."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping knew that this was Jiumozhi's style of using courtesy before force.

Although Jiumozhi intended to get his hands on the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he did not take it by force. Instead, he used "martial arts exchange" to obtain the essence, training methods and cracking methods of the 72 Shaolin unique skills.

And these things were recorded in the three books he brought. Jiumozhi was planning to use these three books to exchange for a copy of the sword manual of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

The 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills are very famous in the martial arts world. Each of them is enough to make people spend several years or even more than ten years to study.

In the past history, there was only one eminent monk in the early Song Dynasty who mastered twenty-three unique skills. Apart from him, no one else had ever mastered more than twenty skills.

But this is the number for top players.

An ordinary Shaolin disciple, if he can master any one of the unique skills, can be regarded as the backbone of the Shaolin Temple; and if he can learn three or more, he will be qualified to compete for the positions of hall master, hall master, and academy master in the temple.

It has to be said that Jiumozhi's proposal of "exchanging martial arts" is quite tempting.

Lu Ping noticed that several monks of his generation sitting on the cushions had expressions of agreement on their faces, except that Ku Rong and the abbot had not spoken, so it was not convenient for others to speak.

Then, Jiumozhi began to practice the three finger techniques of the 72 unique skills, namely, the "Flower Picking Finger", "Dora Leaf Finger" and "Formless Robbery Finger", in front of everyone.

Suddenly, there was a whistling sound in the hall, sleeves of robes fluttered, energy was emitted, and the hinges, copper sheets, iron buckles and other metal accessories on the wooden boxes broke and crackled.

Such a scene made all the monks in Tianlong Temple frightened.

Lu Ping was silently watching Jiumozhi showing off his skills in the hall in the corner, with great interest in his eyes.

'The Jiumozhi in this world clearly did not learn the Xiao Wuxiang Gong from Li Qiushui, so how did he practice these three finger techniques to such a high level?'

'Did he specifically pick out three fingering techniques that he was good at to demonstrate, or did he have another adventure?'

In Lu Ping's opinion, with Jiumozhi's talent and ability, it is not that difficult for him to practice three unique skills to this level. Even if there are three, six, or even nine unique skills, he can still master them.

But if you want to master more, it is absolutely impossible.

Because if you want to perfectly master the 72 Shaolin unique skills, you must practice meditation and use different Buddhist scriptures to eliminate the hostility in martial arts, otherwise it is easy to go astray.

The Jiumozhi in front of him seemed to have no desire to meditate and study Buddhism, so the twelve unique skills should be the limit of what he could control.

"His inner strength seems to be quite strong. Is it the influence of the seventy-two unique skills? Or is it..."

While thinking, Jiumozhi had already stopped performing martial arts, and Ku Rong also gave his own answer -

Don’t change!

There are two reasons for not changing: one is that you are biting off more than you can chew; the other is that you are worried about getting into trouble.

Duan family's One Yang Finger is extremely exquisite. Even the monks of the same generation present here have mostly only cultivated to the fourth level. And with their qualifications, they will not be able to cultivate to the first level even if they live another hundred years.

However, 'there is no superiority or inferiority in finger techniques, but there are levels of skill'. Even though the martial arts of Shaolin Temple are profound, they have not even mastered their own martial arts. Learning other martial arts will only hinder their progress.

This is biting off more than you can chew.

As for getting into trouble, one was worried that his martial arts would leak out and be retaliated against by the Murong family in the future, and the other was that he was worried that Shaolin would come to cause trouble after learning about this.

Considering these two points, Ku Rong rejected Jiumozhi's proposal without any hesitation.

Today, Jiumozhi is just a monk from the Western Regions, not the Tubo state teacher, so he has no confidence to say things like "affecting the peace between the two countries".

Without this threat, the monks of Tianlong Temple were not afraid of him and simply dragged people into the competition.
