Gu Ping'an quickly wrote down the remaining contents of the memorial, and then looked at the map of the secret passage in the southwest corner of the ceiling.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement above their heads. It turned out that Lin the maid and the others had found the mechanism in the sarcophagus.

"Master, come quickly! There really is a secret passage here!"

Li Mochou's exclamation was heard, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.

Gu Ping'an seized the last bit of time, carefully read the route out of the tomb, turned around and ran towards the side stone gate.

At this time, the maid Lin had turned the corner. Seeing his back, she immediately used her lightness skills to chase after him.

The Tomb School's lightness skills are unique in the martial arts world. When used, they make one feel as if they are floating like fairies. They are especially good at leveraging force in narrow places and moving swiftly. Gu Ping'an really couldn't get rid of her for a while.

His "Triple Cloud" is considered to be top-notch lightness skill. If it were in a plain, he could still compete with Lin the maid. But this is an ancient tomb with narrow corridors. How can he compare with the lightness skill of the Tomb School?

"Be careful of the trap, don't follow us." Lin the maid warned.

She came in a hurry and didn't bring the golden bell and silver rope, so she had to chase to Gu Ping'an's side and use the "heavenly net" to stop him.

This style of palm technique is integrated with body technique. Although it is not known for its strong internal force, the palm force is dense and swift, and even a sparrow cannot fly away. It is most suitable for imprisoning and trapping people.

Gu Ping'an had expected that it would not be so easy to escape, so he turned around and used the move "Dense Clouds Without Rain". He slapped his palms alternately, first breaking the palm force, and then slapped Lin maid's shoulder.

"What a powerful palm technique!"

Although maid Lin rarely left the tomb and could not recognize the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" at first, she had followed Lin Chaoying for many years and had good eyesight, so she could still see that this palm technique was extremely powerful.

While she was stepping back to dodge, Gu Ping'an kicked the stone wall and flew several feet away in an instant.

After a brief fight, Lin the maid had already seen that this man was quite powerful, so she did not dare to be arrogant and shot out several jade bee needles.

The throwing methods of the Jade Bee Needle and the Ice Soul Silver Needle are slightly different, but they have a common nemesis.

Gu Ping'an guessed that she was going to use a hidden weapon, so he just glanced back, quickly took out a few stones from his arms, turned around and flicked his fingers to shoot them out.

With the unique skill of "Finger Magic", who can resist carrying some stones with him?

With a few soft "chi chi" sounds, the jade bee needles were knocked down one by one in an instant, but the stone continued to fly towards the maid Lin.

Lin the maid was even more shocked to see her hidden weapon's technique being broken so easily. She quickly dodged the stone and used her lightness skills to chase after him.

Gu Ping'an followed the map in his mind, turning left and right all the way, and from time to time he had to turn around and force back the maid Lin who was chasing him.

This is the secret escape passage specially left by Wang Chongyang. There is no mechanism here. This is the reason why Gu Ping'an dares to fight her.

However, maid Lin was able to temporarily subdue Ouyang Feng, who was against the Nine Yins. The passage was narrow and her swordsmanship could not be fully utilized. Gu Ping'an was not really sure that he could defeat her.

However, relying on his endlessly sophisticated martial arts, it was not difficult for him to escape by just chasing and escaping.

"There's no point in chasing him any further, so why not just give up!" Gu Ping'an was being chased helplessly and advised while running away.

Maid Lin seemed not to hear anything, her face remained expressionless, and she did not stop walking.

The Tomb School's martial arts were elegant and graceful, though beautiful, but rarely contained killing techniques. Most of their moves were designed to trap the enemy, and their swordsmanship was primarily aimed at breaking Quanzhen martial arts. If one had to pick the most ruthless, it would only be the Ice Soul Silver Needle.

However, the Ice Soul Silver Needle is extremely toxic and will cause poisoning if touched. If the poison is not removed in time, the worst case scenario is that you will have to lose a limb to survive, or even your life will be in danger.

Maid Lin was not a bloodthirsty person. She had just learned that Gu Ping'an had knocked Li Mochou unconscious but had not killed her, so she did not intend to kill him. She just wanted to capture him first and ask him why he had trespassed into the ancient tomb.

But this kid was as slippery as a loach. Not only was it difficult to catch him, but he could easily hurt you if you weren't careful.

The two of them kept walking, their feet gradually became wet, and the road became steeper. After walking a little further, it became almost vertically downward.

If the path was just winding, the Ancient Tomb Sect's lightness skills would naturally be unique, and no matter how hard Gu Ping'an ran, he would not be able to completely get rid of Lin the maid.

But if it is so dangerous, the two of them will be back to the same starting line, and neither can gain any advantage.

Gu Ping'an seized the opportunity, blocked Lin's palm, and then jumped out backwards, stepping on the stone walls on both sides with his toes, running faster and faster.

Maid Lin continued to chase him, but she couldn't be faster than him.

Fortunately, both of them were very skilled in lightness skills. At this speed, if someone with less skill was in their place, they would have fallen down rolling and crawling.

After traveling at this speed for about an incense stick's time, the road finally became flat, but the humidity became heavier, and water even began to accumulate on the road.

It only reaches the ankles at first, then gets deeper and deeper, gradually covering the calves until it reaches the waist.

Gu Pingan turned back and advised, "Don't chase us anymore. The water is even deeper if we go any further. Can you swim?"

Maid Lin still ignored him and took the opportunity to leap forward, wanting to hit him with a palm, but her foot slipped and she struggled for a few times before she could barely keep her balance.

The Tomb School's mental method is similar to the "Taishang Wangqing Dao" in the novels about cultivating immortals. It emphasizes cutting off emotions and desires, and has the positive and negative tips of "twelve less and twelve more".

“Think less, remember less, desire less, work less, talk less, laugh less, worry less, be happy less, be joyful less, be angry less, be good less, be evil less.”

There is no such thing as "less persistence" or "less obsession" here.

Maid Lin wanted to chase Gu Ping'an. She was neither angry nor disgusted with him. She just thought that this person had trespassed into the ancient tomb, so he should be chased.

Being stubborn and single-minded is probably a common problem among the descendants of the Ancient Tomb School. Both of Lin's disciples are like this, and so is she.

Gu Ping'an took advantage of the opportunity when she stabilized her body and took a few steps forward. The water had already reached his neck.

He used the breath-holding technique engraved on Chongyang's remains, leaned over into the water, and leaped forward.

In this kind of terrain, swimming is faster than walking, but there is an underground undercurrent, surging secretly. He just keeps his feet on the ground and moves forward step by step in a clumsy way.

After walking about ten feet, he heard the sound of paddling water behind him. Gu Ping'an looked back and found that the maid Lin had also followed and was struggling in panic.

She obviously couldn't swim and had never learned the skill of holding her breath. She was swept by the undercurrent and choked on several mouthfuls of water. It was much more difficult for her to turn back than when she came down.

Gu Ping'an was speechless, thinking that the mind of the current leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect was too simple.

This maid Lin was not a bad person. He shook his head helplessly and turned back.

At this time, she was choked and dizzy, and she waved her hands around and grabbed around, and she actually grabbed Gu Ping'an's sleeve.

When a person is drowning, the only thing left is the instinct to survive, and their strength is much greater than usual. Gu Ping'an was worried that she would be dragged down, so she chopped her neck with a knife.
