I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

No matter how twists and turns the process was, in the end, Hu Qingniu's wish to marry a wife was finally fulfilled.

However, even if Wang Nangu nodded in agreement, the two of them could not marry immediately and enter the bridal chamber, because they still had to tell the elders of the master's family and bow to the master's upbringing and upbringing grace when they got married.

Therefore, after the brothers and sisters of the Su family left, the three of Pei Xiang also packed their bags and bid farewell to Xishan Village, and then hurried towards the location of the division gate.

The Wuming Shimen is located on an isolated island in the extreme east sea area of ​​the mainland, and it is thousands of miles away.

When Pei Xiang returned to the southwest again, more than half a year had already passed by.

When she came out this time, Pei Xiang didn't go with the newlywed Yaner's brother and sister-in-law. She traveled the rivers and lakes alone, focusing on finding the treasure place marked on the map of the master's secret room.

She went deep into the mountains, dense forests and dangerous secret places in Yunnan and Guizhou, stopped and stopped, and collected a lot of rare medicinal materials, but the hidden treasures of the master's school have never been seen.

One night, Pei Xiang slept in the wilderness.

While looking up at the starry sky, she suddenly felt something in her heart. She took out the incomplete old animal skin map from her bosom, and looked at it upside down under the light of the stars and the moon. When she saw it, she noticed the dark lines that she hadn't noticed before. and small round holes.

"Fold this animal skin according to the position of the Big Dipper, and through these holes... Yaoguang, Kaiyang, Yuheng... Tianshu, hey, these mottled and messy patterns can just be connected in one place... Look upside down, The handle of the Big Dipper on the animal skin map is just facing the bottom of the valley here...the shape of the river here..."

Pei Xiang closed her eyes and thought carefully, and retrieved all the maps and geographical records of mountains and rivers she had checked before from the memory attic.

Various data, proportions, topographic trends, and descriptive words were scattered and confused, and the mixed and redundant information of true and false was screened and identified, and then reassembled.Comparing with the animal skin picture in the master's secret room, in an instant, all possible possibilities were arranged in sequence and eliminated one by one.

After several analysis and trade-offs, Pei Xiang re-locked on a destination.

——Is it in the west of Sichuan?

At dawn the next day, Pei Xiang set off again with great vigor.

On this day, Pei Xiang passed by Pingle Town, Sichuan Province.

She was sitting in a restaurant along the river eating and resting, holding a wine cup in one hand and looking out from the window, just in time to see three Emei disciples getting off the Wupeng boat.There seemed to be a dispute between the two of them. The woman in blue made a gesture of drawing her sword, but was persuaded to come down by another Emei female disciple.

Pei Xiang took a look and then looked away, slowly thinking about his next itinerary.

Unexpectedly, in just half a cup of tea, the three Emei disciples also walked into the restaurant where Pei Xiang was, and walked up the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.

The three of them sat down in a corner away from Pei Xiang, ordered some seasonal fresh vegetables, river fish and poultry, ordered a pot of fruit wine, and chatted.

The female disciple who almost drew her sword before frowned, looking unhappy, she squinted at the woman in the pink shirt opposite, and said coldly:

"Hurry up and take out the latest letter from Master. Ji Xiaofu, I said that you usually like to put on a show, and you usually have a gentle and indisputable look, but this is showing your true colors when you go out? Oh, how dare you detain it privately?" Master's letters from her elders kept me and Junior Sister Zhang from knowing Master's orders and teachings.

"What treacherous intentions do you have, do you think I can't see clearly? Ji Xiaofu, do you think you can order me to do things by holding Master's letter and not circulating it publicly? I'll tell you, Ji Xiaofu, it's up to you. You can't order me, Ding Minjun."

The blue-clothed woman was eloquent, and she shot out a sentence like arrows, which immediately made the pink-clothed Ji Xiaofu show embarrassment and hesitation.

Pei Xiang, who was full of inner strength, couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly when he heard the familiar names of "Ji Xiaofu" and "Ding Minjun".She took a mouthful of food and looked curiously at the two famous Emei female disciples from the corner of her eye.

Ding Minjun in blue is a tall and handsome girl with slightly high cheekbones and fair skin. Although she is not a beauty, she is still a pretty young girl.

Ji Xiaofu, who was sitting opposite Ding Minjun, was more delicate and soft, with a pair of big eyes, gentle and sparkling, a small cherry mouth, and a radiant and white complexion.

Faced with senior sister Ding Minjun's questioning, Ji Xiaofu's eyes showed embarrassment.

"Senior Sister Ding, it's not that I withheld Master's letter on purpose, but rather... the contents of that letter really have nothing to do with our sect's affairs. Senior Sister Ding, Junior Sister Zhang, Master and the others just informed me of some private matters, and Informed my father of the current situation."

Ding Minjun raised his brows, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Obviously, she didn't believe Ji Xiaofu's explanation:

"If you say it's a private matter, it's a private matter? If it really has nothing to do with sect affairs, then the envelope should say 'Ji Xiaofu's personal letter'. Since you refuse with this reason, then take out the letter on the spot and think about it." Let Junior Sister Zhang and I take a look at the envelope. I want to take a good look to see if there are those five words on the envelope, if there are, then just take it as a mistake."

Ji Xiaofu smiled wryly: "Senior Sister Ding, Junior Sister Zhang, there is no words 'Ji Xiaofu personally signed' on the outer cover of that letter."

Hearing this, Ding Minjun raised his eyebrows triumphantly:

"Since I didn't name you alone, then I must see the letter written by Master. Her old man sent us out to find the whereabouts of the villain Xie Xun. The sudden letter sent here must have important clues to tell me. Wait, so that we can catch that villain and find the whereabouts of the Dragon Saber as soon as possible.

"Ji Xiaofu, you are so secretive, do you want to secretly intercept important clues, and then go find someone behind my back? Ji Xiaofu, look at me and don't know your dark thoughts? Are you sure? It's because they intend to monopolize the credit and let Junior Sister Zhang and I run around for nothing."

Ding Minjun's words made Ji Xiaofu look annoyed, she looked at him fixedly, and said firmly:

"Senior Sister Ding, that letter really has nothing to do with the affairs of the sect. I dare to swear, if I deliberately conceal the clues about Xie Xun and the Dragon Saber, I will not be able to improve my martial arts from now on."

"You can't improve your martial arts?"

Ding Minjun persecuted with a harsh expression:

"Who knows if you have encountered a problem in your martial arts practice, and you have stopped here? Ji Xiaofu, stop talking nonsense, and don't think that I am targeting you. The letter from the master should be given to everyone who goes out. Disciple circulated, never heard that anyone can monopolize it. Junior sister Zhang, do you think this is the reason, are you willing to wander outside without knowing anything?"

Another Emei disciple surnamed Zhang hesitated for a moment, then smiled apologetically at Ji Xiaofu, and said softly:

"Senior Sister Ji, I think what Senior Sister Ding said makes sense. Since it is a letter from Master to the three of us, everyone should read it. I believe that Senior Sister Ji is a good person, but...it shouldn't be done this way."

Ji Xiaofu sighed, thinking that Master Miejue Shi was too ambitious and never paid much attention to details and intrigues.She thinks that the sisters of the Shimen respect and love each other, and some things don't need to be clearly distinguished, but she doesn't know that her senior sister Ding Minjun has always looked down on her and is always waiting to catch her.

Facing the aggressive Ding Minjun, Ji Xiaofu realized that she had to show that letter today anyway.She couldn't help but blush when she thought of what Master had explained in the letter.

"Since Junior Sister Zhang thinks the same way, then, then I will take out the letter. It's just...the things mentioned in this letter do involve some of my family affairs. I also ask Senior Sister Ding and Junior Sister Zhang to read it for me. Keep it a secret and don't spread it around."

Ding Minjun looked suspicious and kept silent.

Junior Sister Zhang hastened to assure in a warm voice that she only read the letter and never read the contents of the letter.

Ji Xiaofu saw that Ding Minjun didn't make a promise, so she looked at her intently, as if she would not let her read the letter if she didn't agree.

At this time, Pei Xiang laughed lightly because of the interesting incident on the bridge outside the window, which caused Ding Minjun to glare.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaofu gently reminded Ding Minjun to face up to her request.

Ding Minjun sneered several times, and finally said unwillingly:

"I only care about the tasks assigned by Master, and I'm not interested in your family affairs at all. Why, do you think everyone should envy you as the daughter of the old hero of Luoyang Golden Whip Ji, and are interested in the family affairs of your Ji family's parents? I Ding Minjun is not that free."

Ji Xiaofu ignored Ding Minjun's yin and yang aura, she took a deep breath and said:

"Okay, since Senior Sister Ding has made a promise, I will take out Master's letter. After reading it, you will understand that Ji Xiaofu is definitely not a despicable person who hides a traitor in his heart."

While talking, Ji Xiaofu took out a well-preserved letter from her bag and handed it to Junior Sister Zhang.

After that junior sister Zhang received the letter, she glanced at Ding Minjun, then lowered her head to read it carefully.

After a while, she said with shame on her face:

"I misunderstood Senior Sister Ji, sorry. Please rest assured, Senior Sister Ji, this matter will never get out from me."

Ji Xiaofu nodded and didn't say much.

Ding Minjun's eyes flickered slightly, she grabbed the paper from Junior Sister Zhang's hand, and read it from the beginning.

After a while, she returned the letter paper to Ji Xiaofu, with a look of jealousy in her eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaofu begged with her eyes open, telling Ding Minjun not to talk too much, because there are strangers on the second floor of this restaurant.

Ding Minjun smiled contemptuously. Although she didn't see the whole picture of the woman sitting by the window clearly, she was sure that it was a young woman with little reputation.

Ding Minjun didn't think that such a woman would have deep internal strength, so that he could hear clearly the conversations of their teachers and sisters.

"Sure enough, it's different if you have a good family background. You can even talk to the Six Heroes of Wudang Yin. Heh, no wonder you are guarding this letter like this, Junior Sister Ji. It turns out that it's a matter of life. Are you afraid that we, senior sisters, will make trouble? "

Ji Xiaofu shook her head quickly, she looked left and right, and reconfirmed that Pei Xiang was the only one sitting by the window in the restaurant, and she was a little far away from the three of them, so she shouldn't be able to hear their conversation clearly.

She persuaded in a low voice: "Senior Sister Ding, please be careful, this is just a suggestion from my father and master, Zhenren Zhang has already given an answer, saying that Yin Liuxia is now in the Western Regions, and I don't know when he can return it.

"Although Zhang Zhenren is the master of Yin Liuxia, he is unwilling to directly go beyond his apprentice and promise him a lifelong event, so, so he has not agreed to my father's proposal for the time being. Sister Ding, this matter involves the Ji family, Emei and Wudang. Please don't joke around.

Having said that, Ji Xiaofu paused, and added:

"Even if you have a problem with me, please don't mention it too much for the sake of Zhenren Zhang and her master."

This made Ding Minjun's eyes turn cold, and he thought to himself that he was a loyal outsider and a traitor inside. Before this got involved in Wudang's marriage, he knew that he would use Zhang Zhenren's name to suppress his fellow teachers and sisters.

——If she and Yin Liuxia really get married in the future, wouldn't this Ji Xiaofu want to set her sights high above her head, and stop seeing me as a senior sister in her eyes?

Ding Minjun thought of how much his master Juejue Shitai valued and praised Ji Xiaofu, and he felt even more resentful in his heart.

"Ji Xiaofu, are you threatening me?"

Although Ji Xiaofu has always been gentle and easy-going, she is not a soft bun. Before Ding Minjun asked for a letter, she had some reason, so she tolerated it.But now that the reputation of herself and the Ji family is involved, she will never back down.

So, Ji Xiaofu also became tough, she looked at Ding Minjun sternly:

"Senior Sister Ding, Master attaches great importance to the innocence of our Emei female disciples. If she knows that someone is spreading gossip that will affect the reputation of the Emei disciples in the Jianghu, she must investigate to the end. Her old man has a keen eye and eyes like a torch. When the time comes... ...I hope Senior Sister Ding has a clear conscience."

When Ji Xiaofu said this, Ding Minjun only felt anger surging in his chest.But her surviving reason told her that Ji Xiaofu's threat was effective.She couldn't help but flinch when she thought of Miejue Shitai's cold and hard character that didn't rub the sand in her eyes.

"Okay, that's great, it really is a dog that bites and doesn't bark!" Ding Minjun gritted his teeth and sneered.

At this time, Ding Minjun heard the sound of bowls, plates and cups colliding, and she turned her head impatiently, just in time to see a slender wrist as white as snow pouring wine.

There was a crystal clear red jade bracelet on that wrist, which contrasted with the smooth and fair skin, adding a touch of coquettishness for no reason.

Ding Minjun looked away from Pei Xiang's wrist, and when he raised his head, he finally saw the whole face of Pei Xiang clearly this time.Ding Minjun was displeased with a beautiful and beautiful face, he felt that this girl looked seductive and did not look like a serious woman.

However, when Ding Minjun was slandering, Pei Xiang smiled slightly for some reason.

This smile, normal people feel like apricot blossoms, rain and spring in March, but to Ding Minjun who is full of anger, he thinks that he is being laughed at by a seductive woman.At this time, she had forgotten her previous judgment, thinking that Pei Xiang could not hear the conversation between their teachers and sisters.

"why are you laughing?"

This Emei disciple was angry and jealous of Ji Xiaofu at the last moment, but in the next moment, he changed the target of the insult, and angrily shouted at Pei Xiang, who was enjoying the scenery by the window not far away:

"Cats and dogs can go out of their way now. After eavesdropping on the affairs of the Emei Sect for so long, do you really think that I, Ding Minjun, are easy to bully? Why don't you come here quickly to admit your mistakes and beg for mercy, and promise to keep your mouth shut!"

As her words fell, a bamboo chopstick shot straight at Pei Xiang's cheek. Obviously, this female heroine of the Emei School is well versed in the methods of beating people in the face.

Pei Xiang frowned, and she moved back with the chair slightly, lightly dodging Ding Minjun's chopsticks and the risk of disfigurement, then turned her wrist, and threw the wine cup in her hand towards Ding Minjun.

——She has always been a person who pays attention to "reciprocity".

Then, there was only a scream, and the wine cup that was split in half in the air directly cut a wound on Ding Minjun's left and right cheekbones.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and the strength and weakness were instantly reversed.

Before Ji Xiaofu took back her action to rescue Pei Xiang, Ding Minjun sitting opposite her was already covered in blood.

"Well, I was going to treat this person in the same way. If you want to scratch my cheek, I will scratch your cheek. But unfortunately, your cheekbones are too high and your cheeks are sunken. Too sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked, and I was so tired that I misplaced my wine cup."

Accompanied by Ding Minjun's terrified screams, Pei Xiang commented on Ding Minjun's appearance in a brisk tone, with a smile in his eyes and a pity in his words, which was really infuriating.

At the very least, in the eyes of the three disciples of the Emei Sect, this person is weird and tricky, with a weird and ruthless temper, and he is definitely not a righteous person.

"You, why are you so vicious?" The disciple surnamed Zhang yelled, "Senior Sister Ding just wanted to warn you, and you took revenge on her like this... You really are a fool. You name it, my Emei swordsmanship will not hurt Wuming A person without a surname."

Pei Xiang glanced at Ji Xiaofu: "Do you also think that this Ding Minjun is innocent and pitiful? Only you Emei disciples can be reckless and arrogant, hurting people's face for no reason. If others strike back, they will be vicious and small-minded?"

Ji Xiaofu cupped her fists towards Pei Xiang, and said coldly:

"Senior Sister Ding did make a mistake first, but Your Excellency's methods were too cruel. A woman's face is so important. If she leaves a scar, it will be a lifetime regret."

"But an injury is an injury. You Emei sect disciples provoked you first, and you were jealous of my beauty, and then your skills were inferior to others. You couldn't avoid my casual counterattack. What can you do? You can't do it just to accommodate a fool. Let me also become ugly and weak?"

Ji Xiaofu thought to herself that what this woman said was a bit irritating, but in the final analysis, this matter was still Senior Sister Ding's fault.The Emei faction is the righteous way of martial arts, so naturally they shouldn't do things that provoke and bully passers-by for no reason... However, Senior Sister Ding's injury is indeed a bit serious.

"Then, why don't you apologize to Senior Sister Ding, and say a few kind words politely, and we'll settle the matter."

As soon as Ji Xiaofu said this, Ding Minjun almost exploded in anger, not to mention how Pei Xiang reacted.Her face was hurt, and Ji Xiaofu actually said something polite and apologetic?

Ding Minjun was about to curse, but he touched the wound on his face again.She was afraid that scars would really be left in the future, so she simply kept silent, but she pulled out her sword with a clang, and directly used "Scorching Sun and Dust", stabbing Pei Xiang's chest mercilessly.

This is a very fierce move in the Emei swordsmanship. After this move, there are seven or eight life-threatening swordsmanship hidden in it, and they come one after another, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against.

"Senior Sister Ding!"

—Don't hurt anyone's life...

Before Ji Xiaofu finished speaking, she saw that the long sword in Ding Minjun's hand was knocked into the corner of the wall, and her whole body was enveloped by a dazzling sword light. The despair of dying made Ding Minjun frightened and stiff.

At this time, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps on the stairs.

Pei Xiang's eyebrows twitched, and he thought to himself that this person is a Kungfu master in the inner family, much better than the three female disciples of the Emei School.

It's just... I don't know if the person here is a helper of the Emei Sect.

She rolled her eyes, and withdrew the sword with her backhand, causing Ding Minjun to fall downstairs following the momentum of her sword.

The other party paused, and then Ding Minjun, who had fallen in a panic, was sent up again through the air, and landed steadily on the ground on the second floor.

This push and send gave Pei Xiang a chance to evaluate the opponent's strength.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the visitor appeared in the eyes of the four people on the second floor.

"It's Wudang Yu Erxia!"

The female disciple surnamed Zhang exclaimed, and then showed a relaxed smile, which showed that she regarded Yu Lianzhou as the helper of Emei disciple.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the stern Yu Lianzhou with a half-smile, and didn't take the initiative to say hello.

On the other hand, Yu Lianzhou was taken aback when he saw the scene on the second floor, and then he clasped his fist at Pei Xiang:

"Nvxia Hu, it's a pleasure to meet you. My third brother's injury has improved, thanks to Nvxia Hu's help. I don't want to thank you for your kindness, but I have orders from now on. Wudang and Yuer will definitely do their best."

Yu Lianzhou's words of thanks moved Pei Xiang's heart. She scrutinized the other person's expression indiscriminately, and found that this person still had a deep and serious appearance, with indistinguishable emotions between his eyebrows and eyes, and his expression was calm.

But she suddenly understood the little thoughts of this Second Hero Yu.

—He was making his position clear in advance.

——Before the Emei disciples asked him for help to file a complaint, they directly pointed out the relationship between me and the Wudang faction.

——With the antecedents of helping Wudang Sanxia Yu Daiyan, the Emei faction has no position to ask Yu Lianzhou to deal with me.

She figured out this section, and felt that it was a bit unexpected, but also thought it was reasonable.After all, Yu Lianzhou is the second-generation disciple of Wudang who is in charge of his own affairs. As long as he wants to, he can indeed be impeccable when speaking and doing things.

Sure enough, as Pei Xiang expected, Yu Lianzhou's words successfully dispelled the joy and excitement in the eyes of Emei disciples.The disciple surnamed Zhang bit his lip, and didn't say anything more, he just stepped forward to help Ding Minjun who was stunned and sat down silently.

Pei Xiang thought to himself, Ding Minjun is so silent, it should be influenced by her sword will, as for how long this influence can last, it depends on whether Ding Minjun's temperament is tenacious or not.

Many distracting thoughts flashed through Pei Xiang's mind, seemingly complicated and complex, but in fact it was only a moment.

Pei Xiang saw Yu Lianzhou's protective attitude clearly, so he put away his shallow defenses and smiled back at him.

"Yu Erxia, I haven't seen you for a year. I didn't expect that we would meet again in western Sichuan."
