Chapter 100: The Change of Times, the Combination Finger
Lin Pingzhi met several groups of disciples from the martial arts school along the way. When they greeted him, he simply nodded in response and then left quickly.

Usually, the disciples were used to Lin Pingzhi's cold attitude. They also knew how diligent Lin Pingzhi was. He would usually go to the library to study at noon, so they didn't think much about it.

Although they also felt that the Second Senior Brother was a little strange today, they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they simply stopped thinking about it.

Soon, Lin Pingzhi arrived outside the library.

Apart from a few disciples on duty at the door, there was no one around.

Lin Pingzhi turned his neck and looked around, and soon his eyes were fixed in one direction.

At a corner not far from the library, people would occasionally pop their heads out and look over here.

Lin Pingzhi curled the corners of his mouth slightly and disappeared.

At the corner, Qian Shouyang was standing there nervously, occasionally sticking out half of his head and observing this side.

Everything seemed normal at the entrance of the library, and nothing unusual seemed to have happened.

Qian Shouyang was still worried.

He had just lived a peaceful life for a few days, but yesterday he left the martial arts gym, went shopping and took a breath of fresh air. When he came back, there was inexplicably a piece of paper in his pocket.

Qian Shouyang didn’t even know when he was let in!

He knew that this was the gray-robed man's unique way of communicating with him.

Qian Shouyang kept complaining. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly read the contents of the note and immediately destroyed it.

But my heart was already pounding with nervousness.

Because in the note, the man in gray asked him to wait outside the library the next day, and it seemed like he wanted to take action.

Qian Shouyang was extremely unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey. He could only complain in his heart and pray that nothing unexpected would happen.

At this time, Qian Shouyang had been wandering around for a long time, but still hadn't seen the man in gray.

While he was nervous, he couldn't help but think with anticipation, could it be that the other party couldn't come?

Now the gym owner Li Ming is in the martial arts gym. The other party might be afraid of being exposed and confronting Li Ming head-on, so he has given up?
Besides, if the man in gray sneaked in in broad daylight, he would inevitably be discovered by Li Ming, and the other party would definitely be a little afraid.

Qian Shouyang really couldn't figure out how the other party could sneak in and avoid Li Ming without being noticed.

"It's better to give up. It's better to give up this idea completely..."

Qian Shouyang kept repeating to himself.

While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a sound of clearing the throat and coughing from behind.

The sudden noise frightened Qian Shouyang so much that he almost jumped up, and his heart even stopped beating for a moment.

I thought I was discovered while sneaking around.

He turned around in panic and saw Lin Pingzhi staring at him with a gloomy face.

When he saw Lin Pingzhi, Qian Shouyang's heart skipped a beat and his face changed.

Lin Pingzhi is now the most feared person in the martial arts hall except for the owner Li Ming.

First of all, he is the strongest. Last time he faced the Big Yin-Yang Hand, Le Hou was able to kill the opponent, which has left quite a shock in everyone's hearts.

Secondly, Lin Pingzhi always had a gloomy look on his face and a cold attitude, which made everyone habitually a little more afraid of him.

At the same time, everyone also knows that Lin Pingzhi and Li Ming have a close relationship. Whenever there is something, Li Ming habitually orders him to do it. Therefore, many times, everyone will speculate whether Lin Pingzhi's actions are the owner's intention.

Over time, everyone began to have a lot of awe for Lin Pingzhi.

Qian Shouyang was already feeling guilty, and when he suddenly saw Lin Pingzhi, his heart trembled.

"Brother Lin..., why are you here?"

Qian Shouyang tried his best to pretend that nothing was wrong, but he couldn't help getting nervous. He spoke incoherently and his tone changed.

"Ok!"

Lin Pingzhi simply hummed, but his eyes were focused on the other person. He had no intention of moving away, nor did he have any intention of walking away.

He just stared at me with a strange look in his eyes, which was very different from usual.

Qian Shouyang became even more nervous when he saw this, and his head started buzzing.

"It's over. Have I been discovered?"

This was the only thought that echoed in Qian Shouyang's mind.

But Lin Pingzhi didn't say anything, and Qian Shouyang didn't want to keep the conversation going, so he tried to remain calm and forced out an ugly smile.

"Well, I was just passing by and took a look around. Brother, please get busy. I'll leave first..."

Just as Qian Shouyang was about to move, Lin Pingzhi suddenly shouted, "Stop."

Qian Shouyang's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He turned around in horror and stood up on one hand, ready to fight to the death.

Although he knew that he could never be a match for Lin Pingzhi, and would be trapped in the martial arts gym once his deeds were exposed, he still wanted to struggle.

Seeing Qian Shouyang's frightened look, Lin Pingzhi on the opposite side snorted and laughed, speaking with a hint of sarcasm.

"You look so useless that others will know you have done something wrong."

Surprisingly, when Lin Pingzhi said this, his voice suddenly changed, becoming noticeably older.

This voice was very familiar to Qian Shouyang.

He was startled when he heard this. At first he thought he had misheard, but then he looked at Lin Pingzhi again with suspicion and asked tentatively, "Senior?"

"Not bad!"

Lin Pingzhi in front of him nodded.

Qian Shouyang was completely shocked and looked at Lin Pingzhi in front of him.

He is actually the man in gray?

Isn’t this too similar?

After being stunned, Qian Shouyang was shocked.

He looked and dressed exactly like the real Lin Pingzhi, even his walking gait and posture were imitated to some extent.

If you only have a brief contact with him and don't observe carefully, you really can't tell any difference between him and the real Lin Pingzhi.

Only after a closer look did I feel that there was something wrong with the expression in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, but this subtle difference was enough to deceive most people.

Amazing!
Qian Shouyang was originally wondering how the other party could sneak in in broad daylight, but he didn't expect that they could walk in so openly!

Is this the art of disguise?
While Qian Shouyang was admiring in his heart, his heart suddenly settled down. He let out a long, slightly trembling breath and smiled bitterly.

"Senior, you scared me to death. I almost couldn't help but take action just now."

There was a flash of contempt in the fake Lin Pingzhi's eyes, but he still asked.

"How is the situation in your martial arts school?"

Qian Shouyang immediately replied: "Now our owner is entertaining several guests who came to visit. I heard that there are Ganglu, the deputy leader of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions, Qing Lingzi, the leader of the Kunlun Sect, Ke Baisui, the leader of the Funiu Sect, and Master Tanhua of the Foguang Temple in Mount Wutai."

Qian Shouyang explained the information he had collected.

The fake Lin Pingzhi nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that he chose a good time. Li Ming's guests today are all famous figures in the world, and it will definitely take a lot of time to entertain them.

Qian Shouyang thought so too. After he finished speaking, he looked around and whispered.

"Senior, if you want to take action, please do it quickly. I'm afraid..."

Qian Shouyang was afraid that if he delayed it for too long, he would run into trouble and be discovered.

He hoped that the man in gray would steal a few martial arts from the martial arts hall as soon as possible, and then be satisfied, detoxify himself, and fly away, never to come back.

This way, I won't be exposed and can concentrate on being a martial arts disciple in the future.

The fake Lin Pingzhi glanced at him and knew what Qian Shouyang was thinking, but he didn't expose it and just explained it.

"You wait here and keep watch for me, and don't worry about the rest."

As he spoke, the fake Lin Pingzhi strode towards the door of the library.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi appear, the two disciples guarding the door were no longer surprised and said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, are you here again today?"

"Ah."

The fake Lin Pingzhi nodded coldly, and then the two of them opened the door of the library and he walked in.

The door was closed, and the two disciples on duty didn't think much about it. Anyway, they usually had the same expression when they saw Lin Pingzhi most of the time.

This is also one of the reasons why the man in gray disguised himself as Lin Pingzhi.

Not only can Lin Pingzhi enter and exit the library, but his expression remains the same all year round. He does not need to have too many emotional reactions when disguising himself, so naturally he is unlikely to be exposed.

Qian Shouyang stood at the corner, watching everything happen nervously, until the fake Lin Pingzhi sneaked into the library, and he felt a little relieved.

At the same time, Li Ming was entertaining several fellow martial artists in the main hall.

The people who came today were all of extraordinary importance, including the deputy leader of the Vajra Sect.

The other sects were relatively normal. The Funiu Sect and Foguang Temple were both located in the Ming Dynasty. Although the Kunlun Sect was far away, its members frequently traveled in the Central Plains. The sect leader Qing Lingzi also had a very good relationship with the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and he came all the way to congratulate Mo Xiaobei.

The most surprising thing is the Vajra Gate.

The Vajra Sect is far away in the Western Regions. It was founded by Huogong Toudao who rebelled against Shaolin. Its martial arts also come from the Shaolin lineage. It can be said that it has a grudge against Shaolin and has very few contacts with the many sects and forces in the Central Plains.

Even the Hengshan Sect did not invite the Vajra Sect this time, but they did not expect that the other party would come on their own initiative, and the one who came was the deputy sect leader Ganglu.

Adhering to the principle that everyone who comes is a guest, Mr. Mo Da also warmly entertained him.

After Ganglu met Hengshan Sect, he immediately turned around and paid a visit to Li Ming.

Several people were talking happily. Ke Baisui's Funiu Sect was not far away and wanted to curry favor with Li Ming. Master Tanhua and Qing Lingzi were also constantly adjusting the atmosphere, so that laughter could be heard from the hall from time to time.

Ganglu spoke less. Li Ming could tell that he must have other requests, but it was inconvenient for him to speak because there were so many people around.

While they were talking, Yang Guo came over and whispered something into Li Ming's ear. "Hmm?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and Yang Guo nodded affirmatively.

"I didn't expect you to come at this time."

Li Ming whispered something and stood up.

"Excuse me, fellow practitioners. I have some personal matters to attend to in my martial arts gym. Please wait for a moment. Thank you for your patience."

Li Ming spoke politely, and the others nodded hurriedly.

"Master Li, please go ahead and do your work. It's okay for us to wait for a while."

"it is good!"

Li Ming apologized and left with Yang Guo.

The people present didn't take it seriously, just thinking it was some trivial matters in the martial arts hall, and sat quietly sipping tea.

Ke Baisui was trying to get close to Master Tanhua, but Qing Lingzi took the time to chat with Ganglu.

After walking some distance out of the reception room, Yang Guo spoke.

"Master, there is indeed something wrong with Qian Shouyang. Yesterday, when he was alone, he inexplicably destroyed a piece of letter paper. Today, I found him wandering around the library stealthily, and he kept looking around, as if he was waiting for someone. Then someone saw Senior Brother Lin..."

Yang Guo reported the situation to Li Ming very diligently.

Since coming back last time, Li Ming arranged for Yang Guo to secretly follow Qian Shouyang and keep an eye on his every move.

With Yang Guo's strength, it was impossible for Qian Shouyang to discover it.

As the master and disciple were walking to the door, they ran into Lin Pingzhi, who had quickly finished his lunch and was walking back from outside.

"Hey, Second Brother, didn't you come back before..."

The disciple guarding the door was slightly surprised.

He recalled that he didn't seem to see Lin Pingzhi leave...

"When will I come back?" Lin Pingzhi didn't understand what they were talking about.

Just then, Yang Guo had almost finished reporting his situation, and the two of them looked at each other.

"It's okay, Pingzhi, come with me."

As he spoke, Li Ming called Lin Pingzhi, and then asked Yang to go over and mobilize the martial arts school disciples to get ready.

Li Ming first activated some of the key mechanisms in the library.

At the same time, in the library, the fake Lin Pingzhi came in and looked around.

The courtyard is tidy and clean, and there are many decorations around it, which looks very beautiful.

It seems to be no different from any ordinary courtyard and there is no obvious problem.

But the fake Lin Pingzhi narrowed his eyes, he always felt that something was wrong...

When one has reached his level of cultivation, his intuition is sometimes very accurate.

Staying alert, he took a few steps forward.

Nothing happened, everything was normal.

The fake Lin Pingzhi felt that he might be worrying too much, so he took two quick steps and arrived in front of the library.

Before he could reach out to push the door, he suddenly heard an almost imperceptible sound in his ears.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet suddenly loosened!
From solid and heavy, it turned into light and empty.

The floor tile under my feet turned into a flap and suddenly opened, revealing the dark space inside.

At the same time, under the influence of gravity, the fake Lin Pingzhi's body fell uncontrollably.

"This is actually a mechanism?"

He was extremely surprised.

Flip-top mechanisms are very common in the martial arts world and are not surprising. With his lightness skills, he can easily cross a distance without touching the ground.

But this kind of flap that can control whether it is open or not is the first time I have seen it!

The fake Lin Pingzhi was thinking as his feet sank into the hole below. However, he remained calm, took a deep breath, pulled his falling body in the opposite direction, and jumped up.

However, unexpectedly, before he could break free, two thin ropes suddenly popped out from under the flip mechanism and accurately wrapped around his ankles.

After a slight leap, his body suddenly stopped halfway and he was unable to jump out by relying on his true energy to activate his lightness skills.

"what?"

This time, the fake Lin Pingzhi was completely surprised.

He urged his true Qi to vibrate continuously, and the two thin ropes that were tied around his ankles were still intact!
This is totally unreasonable. When he exerted his strength, not to mention ordinary ropes, even iron chains made of fine steel could be broken, but he failed to break free from the thin rope?

What material is this made of? Amazing!

But before he had time to think carefully, he heard a faint whooshing sound of something breaking through the air.

From the corner of my eye, I noticed that several green plants arranged around were emitting dense spots of light.

The speed was incredibly fast and every angle was blocked, so it arrived beside us in the blink of an eye.

It was because of his extraordinary eyesight that he could see clearly that these were actually thin silver needles.

Just now he was unable to break free from the two thin ropes, causing his body to stagnate briefly in place, and he could see that these thin needles were about to turn him into a sieve.

"Humph!"

At the critical moment, the fake Lin Pingzhi snorted coldly, and the true energy emanating from his body formed a circular air wall that protected his body.

What followed was contact with the silver needles.

But a magical scene appeared. The dense silver needles, which were full of power and came at him with great force, failed to pierce or bounce away when they came into contact with the true energy in his body. Instead, a force suddenly appeared, pulling them slightly away from the predetermined direction and shooting to another place.

The surface of his body-protecting Qi was like a layer of oil, and any attack that came into contact with it would automatically slide away.

The silver needle attack that seemed extremely threatening was actually easily resolved by him.

Many silver needles collided in mid-air and fell down with a crash.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fake Lin Pingzhi lowered his head to look at the thin rope on his ankle.

He used his inner strength to struggle a few more times, but the result was the same as before.

His eyes changed, and his strength suddenly changed. It was no longer a strong confrontation, but became gentle.

The structure of the ankle seemed to change suddenly. After twisting and pulling it back and forth for no apparent reason, the thin rope actually fell off the ankle.

It's the art of shrinking bones.

As soon as he was free, the fake Lin Pingzhi immediately soared upward.

However, when his body rose halfway again, another big net fell on his head.

To be precise, it did not fall naturally, but was catapulted down at an incredibly fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of ​​more than ten feet around him.

This big net looks soft, but the fake Lin Pingzhi has observed that there is a slight glow in its black color, and it does not seem to be made of ordinary material.

After the lesson just now, he didn't dare to resist and dodged.

He moved sideways a long distance with incredible speed, finally brushing against the edge of the net and narrowly escaping.

The big black net fell to the ground and closed in, but it caught nothing.

The fake Lin Pingzhi finally dodged the series of attacks. Just as he was about to land, he suddenly became alert. He took a few steps in the air, and his body rose higher and higher until he stood on the top of the wall.

His eyes quickly scanned the surrounding situation, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the courtyard had returned to silence and there were no other accidents.

But there was also uncontrollable amazement in his eyes.

What an amazing mechanism!

He had rich experience in the martial arts world and had seen a lot of traps, but he had never seen such a sophisticated and interconnected trap that would form a series of attacks once triggered, which almost caused him to fail.

Other places in the courtyard should also be full of dangers.

These mechanisms definitely did not come from the hands of unknown people.

This is because of my extraordinary strength. If it were someone else, there would have been a high probability that the car would have flipped over. God knows what sinister arrangements were under the flap.

While he was thinking, he seemed to realize something and looked up suddenly.

Li Ming's figure appeared on the wall not far from him.

"What a handsome body!"

Li Ming couldn't help but cheer.

At the same time, he also had time to look at this person carefully.

Before, he was hiding far away and concealing his aura, so I couldn't see clearly. Now that I'm closer, a prompt popped up on the system interface in my mind.

[Match detected: Murong Bo]

[Matching martial arts successfully: The stars shift]

[Matching martial arts successfully: Sanhe Finger]

[Limited time promotion for Dou Zhuan Xing Yi: 2000 attribute points; Limited time promotion for Canhe Zhi: 1000 attribute points. Would you like to purchase? ]

"Murong Bo?"

Li Ming looked up and down at the fake Lin Pingzhi, and it turned out that he was Murong Bo!
At the same time, he glanced at the library.

Sure enough, Murong Bo still couldn't get rid of his bad habit of stealing martial arts techniques.
