I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Pei Xiang and the others stayed in the glacier and snow region for more than half a year. During this period, she communicated with Yu Luocha twice, briefly describing the recent situation between her and Xinghe.

When he was away from home, Xinghe grew up very fast. He also made a new friend Ximen Chuuxue who is not very talkative.

Pei Xiang spends most of his time practicing swords and being with his son. Occasionally, he will compete with Li Gui and Lu Yu. Everyone wins and loses, and their lives are very fulfilling and comfortable.

Feng Yiwei already knew that Pei Xiang was the "Pei Xiaofeng" who rescued her in the past, so she got up, dressed and dressed, and then thanked Pei Xiang solemnly.

After Pei Xiang regained her daughter's body, getting along with Feng Yiwei became more natural and casual, and it was easier to say some things.Thus, Pei Xiang had her first female friend in the martial arts world.

On this day, Pei Xiang returned from practicing sword on the ice cliff of the snow mountain, and found that the servants in Biezhuang were hurrying to and fro, their faces were stern, and his heart sank.

As soon as she turned her footsteps, she walked towards the courtyard where Feng Yiwei was recuperating.

The courtyard is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and the flowers and trees are scattered. Such a thriving scenery contrasts more and more with the impermanence of joys and sorrows in the world and the fragility and displacement of life.

Outside the room door, Pei Xiang ran into Ximenshen who was holding a medicine bowl.

"Nvxia Pei, you're back." Ximen Shen's eyes were tired and sad, and his face was abnormally pale and dull. "Yiwei was still talking about you just now. Go see her and talk to her."

Pei Xiang had already deduced some unfortunate facts from Ximenshen's subtle expression, she nodded slowly, walked past Ximenshen, pushed the door open and entered.

"Xiao Xiang, ahem, how's the weather outside?"

Pei Xiang sat down beside Feng Yiwei's bed, and pressed the corner of the quilt for her.

"It's a sunny day with no clouds in the sky. Most of the snow and ice have melted down the mountainside. The grass is green, the trees are sprouting, the lake water is sparkling in the sun, and the small animals have come out. Soon, you will be able to smell the aroma of the first peach blossom of this year."

Feng Yiwei's brows were comfortable, and she smiled fascinated by the spring scenery described by Pei Xiang, but soon, a trace of regret flashed across her eyes:

"Xiaoxiang, from now on...you can see more of the scenery outside for me. The seasons are changing, thousands of rivers and mountains, cough cough, I probably, cough cough, can't wait for this year's peach blossoms."

"Yes, Yiwei, just persevere. After this hurdle, you can still watch peach blossoms for many years to come. Let Chuuxue accompany you and let him dance swords for you under the peach blossom tree, okay? If there is a little girl who looks at Chuuxue and blushes, you can ask her if she wants to be the daughter-in-law of Ximen's family?"

Feng Yiwei frowned, as if she had seen the picture of her son growing up.

A handsome young man dressed in white snow, standing under the peach blossom tree with a straight face, holding a Qingfeng sword in his hand, his every move is elegant and correct...

"Ahem..." A cough interrupted Feng Yiwei's imagination. She knew that she would never see such a beautiful picture, and she couldn't hide the regret and reluctance in her eyes.

"Xiaoxiang, I want to tell you something."

"You said."

"What do you think of Fubuki? Can I be your apprentice?"

Pei Xiang was taken aback for a moment: "Do you want Chuuxue to learn swords from me?"

Feng Yiwei grabbed Pei Xiang's hand and said intermittently:

"That child has liked swords since he was a child, and he is obsessed with swords. That kind of obsession... is more powerful than his father's obsession with medical skills. I, cough cough, I just want to worry about him again, the last time. My husband said, are you The most powerful swordsman he has ever seen, Xiao Xiang, I, I just want to do my best to give Chuuxue and him the best."

Pei Xiang didn't hesitate for long, she looked into Feng Yiwei's eyes and nodded seriously, and promised:

"As long as Ximen Chuuxue is willing, I will accept my apprentice. Yiwei, don't worry, Ximen Chuuxue's talent for sword practice is unique, and he is an excellent genius. His future achievements will be extraordinary. Even without me, he will be able to walk out of himself path of."

Feng Yiwei smiled gratifiedly when she received Pei Xiang's reply:

"Xiaoxiang, to be honest, I don't know much about you martial arts people, ahem, but I know you, I, ahem, I envy your character. On the way we returned to Wanmei Villa from Feixian Island, I'm very, very relaxed. I've never been so relaxed. It seems that as long as I follow you, I don't have to worry about anything. I just thought, Brother Pei's wife is really happy...Xiaoxiang, I am, cough Cough, I just hope that Chuuxue can also get your care, but neither I, nor his father can do it..."

After speaking, Feng Yiwei's voice gradually weakened, and she fell into a coma.

Pei Xiang sat for a while longer, tested the temperature of Feng Yiwei's forehead, and then left Feng Yiwei's room without a sound.

Outside the door, Ximenshen stood by the pillar of the veranda, and made a big salute to Pei Xiang.

"Nvxia Pei, my wife's wish is my wish."

After visiting Feng Yiwei, who was lingering and sick, Pei Xiang felt a little angry at Ximen, but when she looked at this haggard and thin man seriously, she was suddenly shocked.

"Master Ximen, please take care of yourself. No matter... what the future holds, Chuuxue is still young and still needs the care and support of his parents and elders."

Ximen's deep smile was very weak, he nodded to Pei Xiang, but didn't say much.

Pei Xiang frowned, and swallowed many words of persuasion.

She believed that Ximen understood all the truths, but he still made a choice.

"Please don't worry, Miss Pei, I will support it for a few more years. Wait, wait until Chuuxue can understand the truth and be able to stand on her own..."

Pei Xiang sighed silently, and she suddenly thought, what would happen to Yu Luocha if something happened to her one day?

How can it be?That man will naturally live an extremely wonderful life, and will take on the responsibility of his father to take good care of Little Xinghe. Maybe he can really reach the realm of forgetting love and carefree, looking down on all living beings in the world.

Thinking about it this way, Pei Xiang felt that Yu Luocha was much more reliable than Ximen.At least I don't have to worry about who to entrust my son to when I'm dying like Feng Yiwei.

Pei Xiang left the courtyard where Feng Yiwei was recuperating. After asking the housekeeper, he learned that his son Xinghe and Ximen Chuuxue were writing big characters in the study, so he changed direction and walked towards the small study of the two children.

In the small study room, two children were talking, and Pei Xiang couldn't help but stop and listen to the childish and innocent childish language.

"Ximen Chuuxue, don't be sad."

"I'm just a little sad."

"Oh, don't have any of that, your father and mother will be worried."

"My father won't notice, and I won't let my mother find out."

"Alas!" Xinghe's sigh was particularly loud.

"Why do you sigh? Don't you want to write big letters?"

"No, I just thought we were the one, um, brother Xiaofeng said, the same degenerate people, oh, I remembered, we are both degenerate people from Tianya."

"I'm not."

"You are."

"Then you said, why did you fall?"

"Because, because your parents are very strange, and my parents are also very strange."

Ximen Chuuxue's voice was a little dull: "Your mother is very good, she practices swords. Of course, my mother is also very good, by the way, where is your father?"

"My father went to earn money to support the family, that's what my mother said."

"You do not believe?"

"Yeah, I'm not a three-and-a-half-year-old child, so easy to deceive."

"Then what do you think your father did?"

Xinghe's tone was a little low: "I think my father and my mother have separated. My father...should have another family, right? Maybe there are other children named Xinghai, Xingshui or something, definitely not Xinghe sounds nice."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't make a sound. After a while, he said slowly, "It may not be true."

Xinghe insisted on his conjecture: "I'm not just guessing, I remember, I remember that my father would only accompany me for a short time every year, and then disappeared. Granny Wang in the small kitchen said that men don't like to go home, it's because there are people outside. vixen."

"fox?"

"It's a vixen, it's another woman."

Ximen Chuuxue's voice hesitated: "Do other women also practice swords? As good as Aunt Pei?"

Xinghe immediately said firmly: "Impossible, my mother is the best and the most powerful!"

"Then why does your father like other women?"

"I don't know," Xinghe was a little distressed, "but... brother Xiaofeng likes several beautiful sisters, and they don't practice swords."

Ximen Chuuxue snorted disdainfully, and after a while, he asked Xinghe:

"Why did you hear what Grandma Wang said in the small kitchen? I have never been to the small kitchen."

"I've been. Because I'm going to tell her myself that the pastries she made for me were a little hard and less varied. And then, well, I heard her talking to someone else."

"So that's the case. If your father has a new home, what will you do?"

"I don't know, but my mother is so powerful, she should know what to do?"

Ximen Chuuxue slightly raised his voice: "Your mother is very powerful, she can snatch your father back. In this way, the three of you can be together, just like my family."

Xinghe's voice was muffled: "Although I really like being with my parents, but, but, if the adults are not happy when we are together, it's better now."

"Aren't they happy when they're together? That's weird."

"Yeah, that's weird."

"Hey," Xinghe sighed heavily again, "We are so cute, why are they so weird?"

Ximen Chuuxue asked Xinghe: "Then do you want to change your parents? It's not strange to change two."

Xinghe quickly refused: "I don't want to. What about you?"

"I don't want to either."

The two of them seemed to have lost interest in the conversation when they said this, and the study became quiet again, except for the rustling of paper and brushes.

Through the window, Pei Xiang looked at the two little guys who bowed their heads and practiced handwriting for a while, but did not go in to disturb them, and left quietly.

In the evening, after Pei Xiang bathed Xinghe, he rolled him under the soft quilt.

After the little guy played alone for a while, he saw Pei Xiang taking off his makeup in front of the dressing table. After a while, his mother became the beautiful one.Xinghe cheered, kicked his calf, and flew from the bed to the other corner of the room.

Pei Xiang turned around to catch his son, and patted his little butt lightly:

"If you use your lightness skills to be mischievous again, let's write three more big characters tomorrow and eat one less snack."

Xinghe heard that Pei Xiang wasn't really angry, so he giggled in Pei Xiang's arms, not forgetting to say nice words:

"Mother is the prettiest, Xinghe likes how mother is now."

"Huh? Doesn't Xinghe like how mother looks during the day?"

"I like it too, but now this one looks better, especially beautiful."

Pei Xiang pinched the tip of Xinghe's nose: "You are a big kid, so you know what looks good at such a young age."

Xinghe seriously retorted: "Loving beautiful women is a man's nature."

Pei Xiang's smile stagnated slightly: "Who taught you this?"

"Uncle Lu said it, brother Xiaofeng also nodded."

Pei Xiang made a note to Lu Yu in his heart, then bowed his head and said to his son:

"Everyone has a love of beauty, and it has nothing to do with being a man. If Xinghe wants to become a man who stands up to heaven and earth, he has to learn a lot. He must have a sense of responsibility and responsibility, and must distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. Also, don't judge people by their appearance , don’t be fooled by the beautiful appearance, but understand what is really important.”

Xinghe was a little confused: "Then, can't you love beauties?"

"Of course you can love beautiful people. In fact, not only Xinghe likes to look at good-looking people, but mother also likes beautiful people and all beautiful people and things. However, you can't love a beauty just because you see one, and you can't love just because you are a beauty. "

Xiaotuanzi didn't quite understand what was said later, but he grasped Pei Xiang's earlier point and suddenly asked:

"Mother, daddy is always away from home, is it because you haven't shown him a pretty face? Or, or do you think daddy is not good-looking, so you don't like him?"

This question reminded Pei Xiang of the conversations she had heard during the day. She looked at her son's clear and bright round eyes, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.

"No, your father knows what mother looks like, and mother is also very satisfied with your father's appearance."

"Then why doesn't Daddy always accompany us?"

"Because your father is busy with his favorite career, and his career happens to be far away. Just like my mother, I spend time practicing light kung fu and swordsmanship every day. When I practice swords, can't I be by your side? ?”

Xinghe still looked skeptical, he is a kid with his own ideas.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang's heart moved. She ignored Xinghe's thoughts before, and also underestimated her son's sharpness and intuition, always thinking that he was still young.

But now it seems that the family atmosphere of less gathering and more separation and the not-so-harmonious relationship between parents have had an impact on the child, making him feel confused and uneasy.

"Doesn't Xinghe believe mother's words? How about this, your father's side is now at a critical time, so it's not appropriate to be distracted. We also have to worry about your Aunt Feng's health, so we can't leave immediately. Xinghe, wait for a while, Can mother take you to find your father? Let's see with our own eyes how busy your father is, so you won't think about it. "

Hearing Pei Xiang's promise that he would take him to visit his father, Xinghe cheered crisply.

Although he couldn't leave immediately, Xinghe wasn't in a hurry.Because he knew that whatever his mother promised, he would do it.

—I have to see if Dad has a new home and a new baby.

One month later, Feng Yiwei died of illness, and Ximen and his son wanted to escort Feng Yiwei's coffin back to Wanmei Villa.Pei Xiang and Ximenshen agreed that when Ximen Chuuxue was seven years old, she would go to Wanmei Villa to enlighten Ximen Chuuxue on swordsmanship.

After that, the two parties separated.

Pei Xiang took Xinghe to bid farewell to Lu Yu, Li Gui and Lu Xiaofeng, and after leaving their contact information, the mother and son set off for the Northwest Pass.

But Yu Luocha, who was far away from the main altar of the Raksha Sect, didn't know that his wife and children were getting closer to him.

He has just dealt with several small and big conspiracies recently, and recruited the "Three Friends of Suihan" from the "Great Light Realm" Xiaotianlong Cave at the top of Kunlun to be the guardian elders. Now he has some free time and is thinking about whether to find Xinghe a stand-in.

In fact, if Xinghe's mother wasn't Pei Xiang, who is excellent in swordsmanship, Yu Luocha would arrange a "young leader" in the church from the day her son was born, to divert the prying eyes of some people, and Share some of the danger.

However, because Xinghe's biological mother is Pei Xiang, she has the ability to protect Xinghe's safety and teach him to become a talent, so Yu Luocha temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​finding a fake son.

After all, he still didn't want irrelevant people to share the glory that belonged to Galaxy.

Now he came up with this idea again because he planned not to stay with the general arena for a long time in the future.

His whereabouts have always been mysterious, and every time he appeared in front of everyone, he covered his face, so if he was not outside the pass for a while, not many people would realize it.

But as time goes on, there will always be times when there are secrets and secrets. Yu Luocha likes to combine the truth and the truth, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

Therefore, he thought about setting up a "young leader" in the main altar to confuse the attention of those who are interested, so that they can't figure out where he is and whether he is far away from the main altar.

At the same time, having a successor on the bright side is also conducive to stabilizing the hearts of the people in the church, so that some guys who like to have both sides can be completely honest, and they will not be easily incited by the enemy to make trouble.

After weighing for a moment, Yu Luocha still couldn't make up her mind.

He guessed that Pei Xiang would not like this idea, and he himself was not too willing, he did not want strangers to "occupy" the position that originally belonged to his son Xinghe.

He thought and thought, and finally ordered his subordinates to find some six or seven-year-old children and send them to the main altar for training.

——Even if you don't find a substitute for Xinghe, it's time to start cultivating loyal subordinate guards for him.

Here, Pei Xiang's mother and son stopped and stopped all the way, and finally arrived at a town near the main altar of the Western Raksha Sect.

Xinghe was very excited all the time, he sat on the window seat of the restaurant, looked left and right, and looked around curiously.

At this time, a table of diners sitting on the table diagonally opposite Xinghe was full and began to gossip with their companions in low voices.

Xinghe already had some internal strength, so he could clearly hear what the other party was saying.

"I heard that Brother Zhao went to the main altar a few days ago. Is this because he is going to be promoted? When will everyone go to the Shuangxian Building to have a meal and celebrate?"

The man called "Brother Zhao" touched his mustache with a smile, shook his head and said:

"It's not a high promotion, but Elder Qi from the Internal Affairs Hall wanted to tell me something and called me over. Speaking of which, brother, I got a good job this time. Hey, thanks to the big guys for taking care of me all these years, Brother, when I finish this errand, I will definitely invite everyone to the Shuangxian Building to have a good meal."

The man surnamed Zhao was straightforward, and the others congratulated him cheerfully.

Everyone said that the mustache can get the errand ordered by Elder Qi himself, and his promotion is just around the corner. Maybe he will be recruited to work in the internal affairs hall of the main altar at some time. Isn't it better than his current status?

Several people chatted about some recent changes in the General Forum.They didn't dare to casually mention important educational affairs outside, so they chatted about some anecdotes.

"Speaking of which, the Neiwutang has recently ordered a lot of things for children, all of which are for children aged seven or eight. Since when did we have such young deacon disciples in the main altar? Or did some elder accept the new ones? apprentice?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, I heard it's not for the deacon's disciples, nor is it for the senior disciples of the elders. My third uncle mentioned a few words, and it was ordered by the leader himself. Suddenly one day, the main altar was moved in." Several children, it is said that the leader attaches great importance to it, personally arranged their various courses, and let them live separately from other people."

"This..." Someone wondered, "Could it be... the heir of the leader..."

"No, if it is the blood of the leader, of course it is the young leader of gold and jade, it is impossible to live in such an unclear way."

"That's not necessarily the case," the man surnamed Zhao showed a deep expression, thinking he was wise and analyzed, "Maybe, I have too many biological children, so I want to cultivate them first. Hey, just like some big families, um , is that kind, that kind of martial arts family that competes first and then decides the heir."

As soon as this idea was uttered, it was echoed by other people, and everyone showed a clear look.But because it involved Yu Luocha, they didn't continue to talk about this topic, and they all laughed and chatted about other things.

Xinghe heard these words in his ears, half understanding.

He still doesn't know that the "leader" in these populations is his father, but he subconsciously remembers the content about father and son when he hears about him.

After the mother and son finished their meal, Pei Xiang took his son out of the town and walked towards the Shengyin Mountain behind the main altar.Yu Luocha once told her that on the north side of Shengyin Mountain, there is a secret path that can directly reach the inside of the main altar, and his residence is near the exit.

Of course, the so-called "small road" is not a road at all, it is composed of cliffs and dangerous cableways, and without the skill of Yu Luocha, it is impossible to pass safely.

When Pei Xiang shuttled between the cliffs with her son in her arms, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If she hadn't had the hard experience on the snowy mountains and ice cliffs for more than half a year, she might have suffered some minor injuries.

——Taking a sneak peek at Jade Rakshasa is like going through the gate to meet the little princess on the tower.

It was evening when Pei Xiang and Xinghe arrived at Yu Luocha's residence.

Because the mother and son had previously agreed to secretly see if the father was really busy, and they didn't deliberately find excuses not to go home.Therefore, Pei Xiang didn't send a message to Yu Luocha in advance, but went directly to find him with his son in his arms.

Yu Luocha is examining the martial arts of several children.

Xinghe saw his father's familiar back from afar, his eyes lit up.

He heard someone call his father "Master", and then the leader turned his head, wearing a silver mask on his face.

The masked man's gaze was as cold as a knife, and he fell on the place where Xinghe was hiding.

Even though this person was wearing a mask, Xinghe recognized his identity.

He was just about to happily call out "Father", when his excited eyes fixed on the six children not far away.

At this moment, the gossip and gossip heard in the restaurant and the words of Mrs. Wang in the kitchen came to Xinghe's mind word by word...

The little boy endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and his eyes turned red quietly.

So, on the first night when the husband and wife reunited, Yu Luocha and Pei Xiang coaxed Ban Su's son.
