I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

It was getting late, and there was a storm at sea, and Pei Xiang looked sick again.Therefore, Huang Yaoshi didn't ask for the competition immediately, but rather graciously invited Pei Xiang and others to live temporarily in the newly built house on the island.

Pei Xiang didn't refuse politely, and followed Huang Yaoshi to the island very readily, seeming to trust the other party's character very much.Her generous attitude put Huang Yaoshi in a good mood.

He has always disdained to explain more to others, and is tired of red tape. He speaks and acts in accordance with his true intentions, so he is often misunderstood.

For example, when he just proposed to invite Pei Xiang to live on the island, the guards behind her who started with the word "blue" all looked wary, as if he was about to play some conspiracy or have dirty thoughts.

Pei Xiang didn't care about other people's thoughts, her mind had long been attracted by the strange art of Dunjia on the island.

Walking into the less lush peach grove, Pei Xiang followed Huang Yaoshi, turning left and right, zigzagging, and what she saw and heard along the way made her more and more curious.As for the mysterious and profound knowledge of Qimen Dunjia, she only knew some basic content before, but now she had the opportunity to personally experience it, and a lot of questions arose in her mind.

When in doubt, I couldn't help but ask.

For Pei Xiang's question, Huang Yaoshi did not show any impatience, and almost answered every question.

He can have such a friendly attitude, on the one hand, it is because Pei Xiang's foundation is relatively solid, and the books he has read are not perfunctory, so her questions are still somewhat level; He is quite gifted in the knowledge of the Book of Changes and gossip, and he often gets it right.This gave Huang Yaoshi a sense of accomplishment in teaching. Who doesn’t like smart students who are open-minded and draw inferences from one instance?

Even because of this experience of answering questions for Pei Xiang, Huang Yaoshi's standards for future apprentices have been raised a lot.He is well aware of his willfulness, and feels that his future self may not have much patience to teach idiots.

The two chatted while walking, shuttled among the peach trees that had just been planted into a forest, and within a short while, Lan Shir and the others were left behind.

Pei Xiang looked back, thinking that Huang Yaoshi really held grudges.Because of the momentary doubt just now, Lan Twelve and the others could not avoid the task of planting trees today.

Passing through the peach forest, the scenery in front of you suddenly becomes brighter.Huang Yaoshi led Pei Xiang to the door of the guest courtyard, and asked her to choose a room to live in, then left her alone and turned around to leave.

Pei Xiang looked at Huang Yaoshi's back as he left gracefully, and thought that getting along with this person was really simple and enjoyable, and he could save a lot of nonsense.

That night, Pei Xiang had a good sleep on the island.The next morning, as soon as she opened the door, she saw listless guards in the yard, with dirt and grass blades on their bodies.

When Pei Xiang thought that he was not awakened by the sound of footsteps at night, he suddenly understood.

"You guys...is this a tree that was planted overnight?"

Lan Twelve nodded miserably:

"A small path suddenly appeared in the woods at dawn, and the subordinates came here along that path. Da Furen, did you rest well last night?"

Pei Xiang smiled and motioned them to hurry up and wash up.

"I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm Mr. Huang's guest. How could he let his guest have a bad rest? The layout in the guest yard is very exquisite and comfortable, and all the supplies are brand new. By the way, here is a bottle of my own Let’s share the refined Tongluo Shujin Dan with the brothers, I’m sure you’ll be exhausted after planting a peach tree overnight.”

Lan Twelve nodded again and again, how dare he question Huang Yaoshi's hospitality.Yesterday, they only showed some worried and nervous emotions, and they were locked in the woods all night. If they said anything more, they might be thrown back into the sea.

"Thank you, Madam, for giving me the medicine." Lan Twelve carefully put away Pei Xiang's medicine bottle, and said with a smile, "Subordinates have practiced martial arts for many years, so it's nothing to be tired, and you have to take the Tongluo Pill that you made yourself Yes. When the subordinates get this medicine, they must store it carefully and take it at critical times."

Pei Xiang joked: "Since you don't need it, give it back to me."

Lan Twelve chuckled, and immediately hid away while covering the medicine bottle in his clothes. After a while, there was a burst of talking and laughing from the well not far away, and after that, there was the aroma of rice porridge...

After breakfast, Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi went to the study.

There were no surprises when the two were painting, and they both completed their works without distraction.After Pei Xiang finished writing, Huang Yaoshi walked over to Pei Xiang to admire her work, and with just one glance, he immediately conceded defeat with a very neat attitude.

After that, the two were not in a hurry to compete in the second match.Huang Yaoshi was so excited that he asked Pei Xiang to write an inscription on the painting, and he also asked Pei Xiang to play the piano. After lunch, he played a few games with Pei Xiang, and the day passed by in a flash.

On the next day, the two agreed on the specific method of the second competition.Since it is necessary to decide the winner in the art of healing poisons, let's poison one by one and detoxify one by one, and then see whose poison is difficult to deal with and whose antidote is effective.

As for the test subjects, they were bandits and bandits that Huang Yaoshi had caught from nowhere.Before Pei Xiang went to the island, he was preparing to turn these treacherous, raped, and plundered thieves into deaf and dumb people, and then acted as rough envoys and servants on Peach Blossom Island.

Because it was an impromptu decision and the results needed to be obtained as soon as possible, it virtually limited the types of drugs that the two could use.Huang Yaoshi opened his pharmacy to Pei Xiang, allowing her to choose medicinal materials freely.Pei Xiang was grateful for his generosity, so he gave Huang Yaoshi two prescriptions as a gift before the start of the competition.

After Huang Yaoshi saw the prescription that Pei Xiang took out, he knew that the opponent was of a high level in Huang Qi's technique, which immediately aroused his competitive spirit.

He thought he couldn't lose two games in a row, wouldn't that be too embarrassing.But he then thought that winning or losing is secondary. If he can increase his knowledge through this competition and solve the puzzles that puzzled him before, wouldn't that be the biggest gain?

With such an idea, Huang Yaoshi no longer held back.

The contest between the two lasted from morning to midnight, during which time it was hard to predict who would win or lose.According to Huang Yaoshi, it would be fine to have such a fun game for three days and three nights, but Pei Xiang's physical condition is not good at this time, and he can't stay up all night and concentrate on doing things.And Huang Yaoshi didn't want to win without force, so he had to end the game regrettably.

Pei Xiang won the second round, but it was not easy for her to win. During the period, Huang Yaoshi took away a lot of prescriptions and experience in treating diseases. Of course, she also learned a lot of uncommon knowledge by sidestepping.Sometimes working with smart people can be overwhelming.

Huang Yaoshi lost, a little depressed, but kept his promise very much.

He personally took Pei Xiang to the place where Aescinus aescini grew, removed the formation, and helped Pei Xiang, who had been coughing, to pick the medicinal materials completely. After simple treatment, he directly put in the special medicine Store in box.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang, for making it happen."

Huang Yaoshi smiled casually:

"How can it be perfect? ​​I am inferior to others and lost to you, and you won in a fair manner. This is what you deserve."

Pei Xiang gathered the cloak on his body, and walked back with Huang Yaoshi.

"Actually, Mr. Huang gave in to me from the very beginning. Otherwise, why bother to compete with me and choose my field of expertise. If you choose the other three talents in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I will lose the first game In addition, I don’t have any research on Qimen Dunjia’s art, military engineering and farming. If you choose one at random, the result of winning or losing today will be reversed.”

The tone of these words was flat but very sincere, dispelling the faint residual depression in Huang Yaoshi's heart.

He suddenly sighed, thinking to himself that he was still unavoidable, somewhat obsessed with the matter of fame and fortune, and was not as calm as the young woman beside him.

Pei Xiang seemed to be able to hear Huang Yaoshi's voice, she turned her head to look at his profile, and said softly:

"Mr. Huang, don't be too harsh on yourself. Who can escape all kinds of temptations in this world? It depends on what a person cares most about. What's more, I said that Mr. Huang is perfect for me. I am not being polite. The law of the jungle is According to the rules of the Jianghu people, Mr. Huang has excellent martial arts skills and has few opponents, so what if he doesn't agree to compete with me? You gave up your strongest advantage and gave me a chance to cheat. "

Huang Yaoshi has always been used to being misunderstood by others, now he heard the people beside him praise him bluntly, but this person has a talent that he admires, he is not an ordinary flatterer, how could he not be happy?

But he didn't want to show it, so he could only say "um" as calmly as possible, but didn't say anything more, so as not to be noticed by others.

Pei Xiang didn't care about Huang Yaoshi's reaction either. After expressing her gratitude wholeheartedly, she suggested:

"Mr. Huang, we planned to compete three times before, but now we have only competed two times. Are you interested in continuing the competition?"

"Is Mrs. Ouyang interested?" Huang Yaoshi asked back.

"Naturally. To be honest, I am very interested in Mr. Huang's martial arts, and I really want to see it. By the way, I have to tell Island Master Huang in advance. Can use the Kung Fu of White Camel Mountain.

"I got a Taoist kung fu book by chance, which contains both internal and external kung fu, and they are all very exquisite. I will use the kung fu recorded in that kung fu to compete with other families. I can guarantee that I will not let Master Huang Disappointed."

Huang Yaoshi had already seen Pei Xiang's abilities, so he naturally believed in her vision, so he would not doubt her judgment, but he had doubts about her not using the Baituoshan martial arts moves.

——The meaning of "can't use"... Is it "unwilling to use" or "haven't learned"?

However, he and Pei Xiang haven't known each other for a long time, and some things are inconvenient to ask in depth, so they don't think too much about it.

"Since Mrs. Ouyang is interested in the third competition, then Huang will accompany you at any time."

Pei Xiang nodded, but actually had other plans in mind.

She thought that Huang Yaoshi would definitely be interested in the Taoist exercises in her hands after the two of them dismantled and resolved their moves.At that time, she can use part of the "Nine Yin Manual" to exchange some of his unique skills and secrets with Huang Yaoshi.

For example, the Qimen Dunjia technique, such as the formula of secret medicines such as Jiuhua Yulu Pill, such as the sound attack technique, etc.Although I don't know what I will take away after this life is over, it is never wrong to learn more things in this life, at least, there is still a long, long life in this life.

After making an agreement with Huang Yaoshi to continue the competition, Pei Xiang didn't intend to accept the appointment immediately.She still has more important things to do, which is to carry out the fourth stage of body training.The medicinal materials and poisons collected before have been preliminarily processed, and adding the seven-leaf green snail at this time will make everything ready.

In order to avoid accidents and irrelevant disturbances, Pei Xiang stayed in his guest house after greeting Huang Yaoshi.

She hid in the middle of this quiet island, and wholeheartedly polished her flesh, bones and tendons.

After suffering the pain again and again, Pei Xiang's body became better day by day.However, her body is still like a battlefield. The violent toxin and the warming medicine attack and dissolve each other, and finally they are slowly absorbed by Pei Xiang's body, and then a new round of struggle begins...

A month later, Pei Xiang took all the power of the medicine into his body, and mobilized a trace of sword intent to polish and nourish his body.As for her appearance, she looked no different from an ordinary person, although she was still a little delicate and delicate, but upon closer inspection, she was a healthy and beautiful woman with a good complexion.

In fact, at this time, Pei Xiang had already made a big leap in strength.If she meets Qiu Qianren and others again, she can already destroy the other party's dantian very calmly, neither needing to wait for an opportunity to surprise her, nor needing to fight for both sides.

Pei Xiang, who entered the fourth stage of physical training, was in a good mood. She immediately found Huang Yaoshi who was still planting peach trees, and planned to fulfill the previous agreement of the competition.

However, the letter from Feige brought by Lan Shier disrupted Pei Xiang's plan.

"Eldest Madam, the Eldest Young Master has sent a message."

Pei Xiang took the sealed folded note, and first noticed that the handwriting on the outer cover was not Ouyang Zheng's, but Ouyang Feng's, and her movements were full of pause.

Quickly opened the note, only to see Ouyang Feng wrote:

"Healing is over, brother is well, there is a little accident. If there is nothing important, come quickly."

Pei Xiang first breathed a sigh of relief, because judging from the contents of the note, Ouyang Zheng should be fine.

Immediately afterwards, she was overjoyed again, because the words "healed, brother is well" meant many things.Although it was not clearly stated that Ouyang Zheng had recovered, it should not be in much danger.

——It's just... what is "a little surprise"?

——It should not be a particularly urgent situation, otherwise, Ouyang Feng would not have such a gentle tone.

——But why didn't he just explain it directly?

After all, he couldn't rest assured, so Pei Xiang had no choice but to bid farewell to Huang Yaoshi, and postponed the competition agreement between the two of them again.
