I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

The next day, night fell, and the full moon was like a silver plate.

Pei Xiang and Yu Lianzhou searched the entire valley under the moonlight, but found nothing unusual. They looked at each other, knowing that they had to stay in this valley for a while.

The next day, Pei Xiang searched for edible animals and plants in the valley with the small rattan basket woven by Yu Lianzhou on his back, and got a lot of firewood and long flexible grass leaves.

By the time she returned with a full load, Yu Lianzhou had cleaned up the inside and outside of the bamboo building, and was using bamboo to make simple bamboo beds, stools, bowls, chopsticks and other furniture and utensils.

"Second Brother Yu, the valley is lush with lush vegetation and plenty of wild animals and animals, which is enough for us to survive. In a year or so, you and I can feel at ease pondering those strange techniques of dungeon armor without worrying about starvation or cold."

Yu Lianzhou took the sundries from Pei Xiang's hands and sorted them out.

"Miss Hu, what are these long grass leaves for?"

Pei Xiang looked at the newly made bamboo vessel with novelty, and replied:

"I'm going to weave a straw mat for you. Brother Yu, you can't live in a tree all the time, can you? The weather is fine these few days. If it thunders and rains one day, I definitely can't let you stay outside the bamboo building." Yeah. If you are resting in the bamboo building, it would be more comfortable to have a straw mat."

Yu Lianzhou shook her head and quickly refused:

"If it's raining, I can go to the cave. Although the passage is blocked there, there are still some places that can shelter from the wind and rain."

Pei Xiang quickly retorted:

"The situation in the cave is unknown. Who knows if stones will fall? Brother Yu, don't be so rigid. There are only two of us here. No matter where you live, there is no third person who knows. Our world Children, there is no need to abide by so many rules. Well, this matter is settled, otherwise... I will not live in the bamboo building, let's go to the tree and stare at the monkey together."

Pei Xiang made a decisive decision, and then left with a large bundle of long grass leaves.

A few days later, Yu Lianzhou and Pei Xiang were sitting in the courtyard reading a book, when suddenly, a white shadow flashed past their eyes.

Yu Lianzhou frowned slightly, and disappeared in the seat in an instant.

Not long after, Yu Lianzhou returned again with a bit of a smile on his face.

Pei Xiang couldn't help showing curiosity:

"Second brother Yu, what is that white shadow that ran past just now? Have you figured it out?"

With one hand behind her back, Yu Lianzhou cleared her throat unnaturally:

"It's a wild monkey."

"Monkey? Brown monkey? White shadow?"

Yu Lianzhou hastily explained with a stern face: "The wild monkey is stubborn, stole my clothes to dry and ran around."

After saying this short sentence, Yu Lianzhou fell silent.

After a while, he put down the book in his hand, nodded slightly towards Pei Xiang, and then hurriedly left the bamboo building with lightness kung fu again.

Pei Xiang blinked, thinking about the colors of Yu Lianzhou's outer robes, except cyan and blue, none of them have anything to do with white...

——So... the monkey stole the underwear inside?

After a while, Yu Lianzhou stepped into the bamboo building again.Pei Xiang noticed that his skirt and cuffs were slightly wet, so he guessed that when he just went out, he should have gone to wash the undershirt that was soiled by the monkey.

——He is not willing to tell me about it in detail?

Pei Xiang raised the book to cover his face, and slowly turned a page, taking the opportunity to hide the smile in his eyes.

After laughing, Pei Xiang pretended not to notice anything, and read the book seriously.

Seeing this, Yu Lianzhou quietly suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, and focused on the contents of the book again.

However, in less than half an hour, a white figure flashed past the two of them again.

Pei Xiang rubbed her eyes and felt that she caught a glimpse of a wet white undershirt, which was covered with monkey hair and mud spots.

This time, Yu Lianzhou did not leave his seat immediately. He slowly put down the book in his hand, took a deep breath, and then said to Pei Xiangwen:

"Miss Hu, Mr. Yu has a few questions that he can't figure out, and needs to go outside to relax and change his mood, so he has to leave for a while."

Pei Xiang asked enthusiastically: "What's wrong with Second Brother Yu? Why don't you tell me and let my younger sister listen? One person counts the disadvantages and the other counts the long. You and I have a little discussion, and we can't say anything that will make Second Brother Yu enlightened." It's a flash."

Yu Lianzhou listened to the triumphant cries of the monkeys outside the bamboo building, shook her head with an unchanged expression, and insisted on thinking alone.

When Yu Lianzhou left, Pei Xiang finally couldn't help laughing.

After a while, there was a crackling sound outside the bamboo building, followed by the rapid squeaking of a few monkeys, and then the sound of heavy objects falling into the water, the sound of branches and leaves snapping, and the sound of metal collisions...

It was not until before lunch that Yu Lianzhou reappeared in front of Pei Xiang holding a dozen wild fruits.

"Second brother Yu, do you want to understand the confusion in your heart?"

"It's still close, and it will be figured out soon."

In the afternoon, Yu Lianzhou went to "think independently" for a short period of time, and after that, he didn't leave for a long time.

Two days later, the two were squatting by the water and grilling fish. After observing for a while, a monkey yelled at Yu Lianzhou twice, which seemed a little provocative.

Yu Lianzhou looked back coldly, the monkey bared its teeth and danced a few times, then turned and ran away.

Pei Xiang glanced at Yu Lianzhou curiously, while Yu Lianzhou was serious about grilling fish as if nothing had happened.

"That monkey...does he need to find you something?"

"It's nothing, I'm probably a little curious and a little scared of the flame."

"Oh I got it."

Not long after, the monkey went back and forth. This time, it held a hard blue wild fruit in its hand and threw it directly at Yu Lianzhou's head.

Of course, with Wudang Yu Erxia's ability, he would definitely not be hit by the wild fruit thrown by the monkey.Not only that, he also counterattacked smoothly, and smashed the wild fruit back, and the monkey screamed in pain.

The hurt monkey ran away quickly, but did not run far.It hid on a tall tree not far away, staring at Yu Lianzhou secretly, as if it wanted to take revenge.

Pei Xiang took a bite of grilled fish and saw the turbulent tide between humans and monkeys, and felt that his appetite improved a lot.

A month later, the monkeys in the valley no longer dared to provoke Yu Lianzhou, and even took the initiative to "respect" wild fruits and all kinds of strange things.At the same time, Pei Xiang discovered the approximate location of the exit maze.

Two months later, the two swallowed through thirteen volumes of books on Qimen Dunjia, but only understood a small part of them.In addition, after three consecutive days of rain in the valley, Yu Lianzhou finally moved into the bamboo building with a pair of thick eyebrows frowning.

Three months later, on the night of the full moon, the two packed their bags and prepared to leave the valley.

"Miss Hu, it's time, let's go."

"Okay. By the way, are the doors and windows of the bamboo building tightly closed?"

"It's closed, and the roof has been repaired. I also set up a simple formation around the bamboo building to prevent animals from entering by mistake."

While the two were talking, they saw a faint phantom suddenly appeared in the valley filled with moonlight and silver light. The phantom seemed to be a twisted path, stretching to an unknown distance.

"Sure enough, after removing the cyan stone, we can see the intersection."

"Let's go, the path will disappear soon."

Pei Xiang nodded and walked side by side with Yu Lianzhou.There is a long belt tied on the two hands next to each other, which not only connects the two together, but also leaves enough room for free movement.

However, before embarking on the unknown path, Yu Lianzhou still held Pei Xiang's hand.

Behind them, a certain "oppressed" monkey watched curiously as the two fools bumped into the stone wall. In the blink of an eye, the two figures, one tall and one short, were no longer visible.

The night is over, and the morning light suddenly appears.

Pei Xiang staggered and almost fell from an old tree.She quickly stabilized her figure and turned to look for Yu Lianzhou.Unfortunately, there was nothing behind her.

If it wasn't for the long strap on her wrist that could still feel the pulling force from the opposite side, she would have thought that she and Yu Lianzhou were separated.

After confirming that Yu Lianzhou was fine for the time being, Pei Xiang began to look carefully at his position.After she saw the surrounding scenery clearly, she immediately showed a relaxed smile.

——It turned out to be here, it’s great, it finally came out!

Standing on a tree branch and looking at a pool of clear water not far away, she felt as if she was a world away.I still remember that a few months ago, she closed her breath at the bottom of Tandi to recuperate her injuries, and then she surfaced to take a breath, and happened to run into Yu Lianzhou who came to look for the ghost-faced Tonghua.

That chance encounter started the two of them spending more than three months alone.

Just when Pei Xiang was in a trance, a warm touch came from behind her. She grabbed Yu Lianzhou who had just walked out of the formation with her backhand, and made room for him.

"Why the delay?"

With a smile in her eyes, Yu Lianzhou handed the newly picked ghost-faced tung flower to Pei Xiang.

"Before I came out, I found this. It happened to be on the edge of the formation."

Pei Xiang took the blooming ghost-faced tung flower and looked it over carefully, and couldn't help laughing:

"We can confirm the monkey's itinerary back then. It really ran out of the valley. However, after you picked the ghost-faced tung flower, didn't you suffer from the transformation attack of the formation?"

Yu Lianzhou shook her head and said: "It should be a coincidence that the ghost-faced tung flower grew in the maze. I was half a step behind you when I entered the formation. At the moment when the formation changed, I happened to catch a glimpse of this kind of medicinal material. Look, it's just One zhang behind this big tree, there is, yes, a small cluster of ghost-faced tung flowers growing there."

Pei Xiang followed Yu Lianzhou's guidance and looked over, only to see that there were only gravel and brown soil besides a few scattered weeds.In an unremarkable place, where are there any traces of rare medicinal materials?

She raised her eyebrows in surprise, jumped off the old tree with a light leap, and circled twice around the direction Yu Lianzhou pointed out.

The man behind her looked helplessly at the long straps on their wrists.

After observing for a while, Pei Xiang squatted on the ground to write, draw, draw and calculate for a while. Then, she suddenly pulled out the dagger from her waist, and stabbed it fiercely towards an open space.

After finishing this action, Pei Xiang has been quietly staring at the open space around the dagger.A gust of wind blew past, as if blowing away the invisible mist in the air. On the bare ground just now, a clump of lush green plants slowly appeared.

"Second brother Yu, our luck is really not as good as that of a monkey," Pei Xiang teased, "No wonder you want to 'bully' the monkey in the valley like that, you must be jealous of its grandpa Zuzuzu's good luck. "

Yu Lianzhou's brows twitched, and he argued solemnly:

"Miss Hu, I never bullied the monkeys in the valley, I just taught them a lesson when they made trouble."

Pei Xiang smiled and glanced at Yu Lianzhou, noncommittal to this statement.

After she bent down to pick three ghost-faced tung flowers, she withdrew her iron-sharpening dagger. After that, she watched the cluster of ghost-faced tung flowers disappear from sight again.

"Chun Zong Taoist's unique art of dunjia is really powerful."

"Miss Hu is talented and intelligent. With time, she will definitely be able to make greater achievements."

"Thanks to the high expectations, Qingyang will definitely work harder."

At this time, it was already daylight, and Pei Xiang and Yu Lianzhou got rid of the predicament in the valley and picked rare medicinal materials, both of them were in high spirits and radiant.The two of them didn't take a break, they left the Bibo Qingtan where they had been lingering for many days, and drifted down the mountain.

Talking and laughing all the way, a few days passed quickly, and the two quickly returned to the foot of the mountain.

"Second brother Yu, are you going to send the ghost-faced Tonghua to Shaolin yourself?"

"Yes, several months have passed, and other people who want to come to search for medicinal materials have heard of it. I am not going to continue searching for gold and silver moss. I will only escort this ghost-faced tung flower to Songshan Mountain."

Pei Xiang agreed: "The ghost-faced tung flower is not suitable for preservation, and it should be used as medicine as soon as possible."

Yu Lianzhou suppressed the regret of parting, and asked tentatively, "Where is Miss Hu planning to go next?"

——If you have no other plans, why not go with you all the way...

Pei Xiang thought for a while and made up his mind:

"I still want to stay in Sichuan and Sichuan for a while. To be honest, Second Brother Yu, I am very interested in Qimen Dunjia now, and I always want to learn more. Therefore, I plan to live in this area and devote myself to it. Study the classics of the teacher's school. After I have learned something, I will go back to the mountains. I want to compare with the formation left by Taoist Chunzong. Brother Yu, we escaped this time by taking advantage of the right time and place. Somewhat reconciled, I still want to use my own strength to walk out of that valley dignifiedly."

Yu Lianzhou was not surprised by Pei Xiang's answer.To be honest, if he didn't have an important task, he actually wanted to fight the formation left by Taoist Chunzong.

——Anyway, life in Yanaka is pretty good.

"In this case, I will leave first. Miss Hu, we will meet later."

"Second Brother Yu, we will meet later."

Yu Lianzhou stared at Pei Xiang seriously for a moment, then turned and left.

——No matter what, saving people is the most important thing.

Pei Xiang looked at Yu Lianzhou's rapidly disappearing figure, his eyes drooping slightly.

——This man was in such a hurry that he didn't even think about going to a nearby village for a meal and a glass of wine, so he just went to Shaolin like this.

——I hope those great monks don't underestimate Yu Lianzhou's intention, blindly stubborn, and have a grudge against Wudang.

Left alone again, Pei Xiang looked up at the sky and drifted in another direction.
