I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

When Yu Lianzhou returned to the pool with his prey and firewood, Pei Xiang was sitting cross-legged on a bluestone with his eyes closed to adjust his breath.She was wrapped in Yu Lianzhou's outer robe, which was baggy and loose, making Pei Xiang, who had a snow-white complexion, even more slender and thin.

The mountain wind blows, and the sleeves of the clothes fly.Yu Lianzhou suddenly remembered that this robe was the one "borrowed" by Pei Xiang a year ago.After returning it to him again, he kept the robe with him all the time.

From Miaojiang to the Western Regions, from the Western Regions back to Wudang, and now brought to the dense forests of Western Sichuan, at this time and here, it was actually worn on Pei Xiang's body again.

——It's...a kind of coincidence.

While handling the prey, Yu Lianzhou reminisced about the past, and he couldn't help but think of Pei Xiang's superb disguise and disguise. Thinking of the "Yu Lianzhou" that no one doubted so far, he unconsciously brought a smile on his face.

"What are you thinking?"

At some point, Pei Xiang had squatted beside Yu Lianzhou, staring at the food in his hand with shining eyes.

"I remember you pretending to be me," Yu Lianzhou whispered, "I remember...you were able to hold up this robe back then."

Pei Xiang glanced at the rolled up sleeves and knotted hem, and bulged his cheeks helplessly:

"In order to change the height and figure, I will add some support and padding to the inside of the clothes, and the shoes are also specially made, so that the fake ones can be confused with the real ones."

Yu Lianzhou smiled and said: "Nvxia Hu is really powerful. I thought about it afterwards, and found that if my brothers and sisters were present, they would probably be deceived by Xia Xia Hu for a while. As long as you don't use martial arts or talk nonsense, it looks really good. Exactly the same."

Pei Xiang handed Yu Lianzhou several kinds of weeds and roots and fruits of some plants, and signaled him to use internal force to dry the water in them and grind them into fine powder.

Yu Lianzhou followed suit one by one.

"Yu Erxia, I don't dare to pretend to be you in front of other Wudang heroes, it will definitely reveal my secrets," Pei Xiang shook his head, "I found out that you were the only one who appeared near Miaojiang, so I made up my mind to fight Li Daitao. of."

While talking, Pei Xiang instructed Yu Lianzhou to smear the dried and crushed powder on the prey as seasoning.

After a while, Yu Lianzhou started to light the fire, and Pei Xiang got up to deal with the various traps set up before, and washed the clothes by the way.

When she returned, dinner would be ready.

Pei Xiang took his own portion, and after taking a sip, he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

——Worthy of being a Wudang hero, he is excellent in everything he does!

Yu Lianzhou noticed that Pei Xiang was eating with gusto, and felt relieved.To be honest, he hadn't taken food preparation this seriously in years.

Pei Xiang seemed to have the ability to read minds, and immediately saw through the calm and calm anxiety of the Wudang Yu Erxia. She asked curiously:

"How did you deal with it the other day?"

Yu Lianzhou pretended to be casual and replied: "It's fine when it's cooked. I don't know so many fruits and plants that can replace seasonings, so I don't bother about every meal."

Pei Xiang regretted: "Then you have missed a lot of delicacies. There are not only seasonings in the mountains and jungles, but also many mushrooms, wild fruits and vegetables, all of which are good for both medicine and food. They are both delicious and beneficial to the body. Absolutely Worth a try."

Yu Lianzhou fiddled with the fire, and said warmly:

"Yu has limited knowledge, and he can only protect himself in this mountain. There are many things that he dare not try rashly."

Pei Xiang tilted his head and thought for a while, before making a decision without much hesitation:

"Yu Erxia, anyway, we still need to travel together for a while, why don't I teach you some things I know. If you think it's good after you try it, go back and teach other Wudang disciples. In this way, they won't be able to 'dislike' you Teaching is harsh and unreasonable."

"Why?"

"Because," Pei Xianghui smiled mischievously, "If Yu Erxia was really harsh and unreasonable, he wouldn't tell them where there is delicious food and where there are medicinal materials for curing diseases and saving lives."

Yu Lianzhou is quite willing to learn these things, not to mention far away, at least she can take good care of the girl next to her in the near future.

However, when it comes to teaching Wudang disciples... Yu Lianzhou hesitated for a moment.

"Hu Nuxia, will this involve your master's inheritance? If it's just some spices, it's okay, but if it involves the medicinal properties and functions of some rare plants, especially the distinction between poisonous and non-toxic... …As far as Yu knows, some Xinglin masters are unwilling to spread it to outsiders, and only relatives or disciples can know about it.”

Pei Xiang froze for a moment, then waved his hand indifferently:

"It's okay, we don't have so many specialties in our teacher's school. Besides, most of these experiences are summed up by myself, and I can teach them to anyone I want."

Yu Lianzhou's expression was slightly relaxed, he nodded, and after a while, he suddenly added another sentence:

"When Yu teaches Wudang disciples, he will explain that this is taught by Hu Nvxia, and he will also tell others to pay attention to the details in this regard."

After Pei Xiang ate the last bite of food, he looked up at Yu Lianzhou's expression, and found that this person became serious again, so he knew that the promise just now was very important to him.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly a trance appeared in her heart, and she understood why Yu Lianzhou was so serious about it.

——probably influenced by the entanglement between Zhang Sanfeng and Songshan Shaolin.

Zhang Sanfeng worked as a handyman next to Master Jueyuan of Shaolin Temple.Before Master Jueyuan passed away, he recited the "Nine Suns Manual" throughout. Zhang Sanfeng was young and only memorized three or four out of ten of the contents of the scriptures.After he left Shaolin Temple, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts relying on the contents of the "Nine Suns Manual", and created a lot of kung fu by himself, until he founded the Wudang School and became a generation of martial arts masters.

In recent years, Wudang's reputation has been growing, gradually overshadowing the limelight of Songshan Shaolin, and faintly becoming the head of the famous sect.This made some monks in Shaolin Temple very unconvinced, thinking that Zhang Sanfeng was not only an abandoned disciple of Shaolin, but also secretly learned Shaolin Kungfu, which is why he achieved his later achievements.

Because of this old grievance, the disciples of Wudang sect have always been cautious about the inheritance of Jianghu, and they pay more attention to the word "avoid suspicion" than disciples of other sects.

"Yu Erxia doesn't need to be so cautious. I don't comment on how other people in the rivers and lakes treat the matter of family inheritance. It's just me. It's about common sense methods of medicine to cure diseases and save lives, the types of herbs and mountain treasures that can satisfy hunger or detoxify, and even basic martial arts for self-defense. , can be disseminated at will. The life of our compatriots is difficult, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and many people suffer a lot in their lives. What's wrong with having more means to save their lives?"

Yu Lianzhou's eyes flickered, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Nv Xia Gao Yi."

Pei Xiang was unwilling to accept this compliment, she said honestly:

"I am not worthy of the word 'Gao Yi', and I am not really willing to sacrifice myself for others. I am willing to do what I can to help others after ensuring that my life is stable. Most of the time, I Choose to be alone. Therefore, I have always admired the true chivalry and urgency.”

Yu Lianzhou smiled freely:

"If everyone can live a stable life, be alone and not deceive others, and help those who can help, the world will be peaceful. Hu Nuxia, the great hero who turned the tide has always been a legend that has been praised throughout the ages. How many can there be from ancient times to the present?

"My generation is an ordinary person with emotions and desires, selfishness, relatives and friends to protect, instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and various insurmountable weaknesses and shortcomings. This life is so short, it is good to be ashamed in the end."

"Worthless?"

Pei Xiang sighed with a smile:

"These four words are simple, but there are always some mistakes in their execution. Besides, everyone's bottom line is different, and the resulting sense of guilt is also different. Yu Erxia, you and I have a relationship, and in the future you will say Maybe you will be disappointed. If you praise me as 'high justice' today, you may call me 'witch' in the future."

Yu Lianzhou was very open-minded at this time, he said in a low voice:

"People's hearts are complex and changeable, so strangers can become like-minded friends, and brothers will still turn against each other. Hu Nuxia, Yu Er doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, but only knows how he feels at this moment. It's irrelevant now."

Pei Xiang curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing more.

It was getting dark, and Pei Xiang sat by the fire to meditate and adjust his breath. After Yu Lianzhou tidied up, he also used meditation instead of sleep.

They lived together peacefully all night, until the dawn of dawn, a crisp bird cry in the mountains made the two of them open their eyes at the same time.

Yu Lianzhou noticed that Pei Xiang's lips were still pale, so she knew that her breath adjustment last night had little effect.

"Hu Nvxia, I plan to search the area carefully for a few days, do you have other arrangements?"

Pei Xiang shook his head.

She really has no clear destination at this time.Because according to the instructions on the animal skin map, the valley where the master's secret room is hidden is nearby.

But she searched according to the route map yesterday, but she has been climbing in the direction of the majestic ridge.I have been looking for this water pool, and then go forward, there are cliffs, and I don't see the valley and shallow stream with birds and flowers at all.

Yu Lianzhou looked at the surrounding scene and suggested:

"Nvxia Hu, if we stay here for a few days, we'd better move to another place. The water vapor here is thick in the morning and evening, which is not conducive to physical recovery."

Pei Xiang pointed to the southwest corner: "There seems to be a flat land there, and there is a convex and concave cliff rock that can be used as a shelter from the rain, and it is not far from this pool. Let's go to it."

Yu Lianzhou was also optimistic about the place Pei Xiang was pointing at, but it was steep, and Pei Xiang's inner strength was weak at this time, so he probably wouldn't be able to use his light skills to climb up.

"Hu Nuxia, shall I take you up?"

"Thank you Erxia Yu, I have long wanted to experience Wudang School's Ti Yunzong."

Yu Lianzhou approached Pei Xiang, nodded slightly, and then hugged her horizontally.

With a little tiptoe, he jumped up and soared up.When he was about to run out of breath, he turned slightly sideways in mid-air, lightly kicked his left foot, followed by his right foot, and alternated several times, walking up like climbing a ladder, lightly and steadily holding Pei Xiang hugged to the flat place above the cliff.

As soon as he landed, Pei Xiang jumped out of Yu Lianzhou's arms and looked around at the temporary place.

Yu Lianzhou coughed lightly, and followed Pei Xiang to check the surrounding situation.

"Yu Erxia, go find the medicinal materials, and I will handle the chores here."

"Okay, be careful of poisonous insects and snakes."

"You too, remember to carry the anti-drug pill I gave you with you. If you feel uncomfortable, return immediately. Although I have temporarily lost my internal strength, I still have the ability to cure diseases and detoxify."

"Okay, if you are in a hurry, call me, I can hear you."

Pei Xiang nodded again and again, urging Yu Lianzhou to get busy with her own affairs and not worry too much about her safety.

——It’s just that I can’t use my internal strength for the time being, and it’s not that I’ve become a child.

In fact, Yu Lianzhou also felt that she lacked the crispness of the sons and daughters of the world at the moment, and her temper became more cautious.

He thought to himself, he was not like this usually, every time he led the Wudang disciples into the mountain, he would let everyone do things cheaply, and he would definitely not think so much.

——Probably because there have never been any female disciples on Wudang Mountain. Those naughty boys are all durable and durable, so of course there is no need to worry about it.

——That's right, when my sister-in-law first married into Wu, Brother Song had to be by her side every time, for fear of accidents due to the rugged and slippery mountain road.

——In the future, the sixth brother will get married, and the sixth younger brother does not know martial arts. Although the sixth younger brother loves to cry, he is still a masculine man, and he will definitely be able to protect his wife well.

Yu Lianzhou thought wildly for a while, and she had already skimmed across the sparkling blue water, searching towards the opposite side of the pool...

A day passed by in a hurry, and Yu Lianzhou found nothing.

When night fell, he sat in front of the bonfire and looked down to study the contents of the handbook, hoping to find some clues from the simple records of the Tang Sect senior.

But to be honest, even the recorder himself failed to find the ghost-faced Tung flower again. If the latecomers want to rely on this record to try their luck, the hope is really a bit slim.

Pei Xiang took out the vague animal skin picture, frowned and studied the content on it, feeling a lot of puzzlement in his heart.

After a while, she decided to change her mind.

"Yu Erxia, Shaolin Temple also sent monks into the mountains to find medicinal materials, right? You've made a fool of yourself here, maybe they'll have unexpected gains over there."

Yu Lianzhou put down the book in her hand and sighed, "I hope so."

Pei Xiang looked at Yu Lianzhou with his head tilted by the light of the fire, and felt that his tone was a bit strange.

The two looked at each other, and Yu Lianzhou confessed against Pei Xiang's suspicious gaze:

"I'm not afraid that Lady Hu will laugh at you. In fact, Yu is somewhat selfish about collecting herbs. According to Yu's inner thoughts, he actually hopes to collect those two kinds of herbs before the monks in Shaolin Temple."

Pei Xiang understood: "You Wudang and Shaolin have a lot of grievances and grievances. Don't mention the old stories in the past, just say that now, there are two troubles between Yu Sanxia and Longmen Escort. This trip to the Western Regions seems to wash away Songshan. Shaolin is accused of harming Yu Sanxia, ​​but Wudang Zhang Wuxia is still charged with the suspicion of bloodbathing the Longmen escort agency and killing Shaolin disciples. Yu Erxia, do you want to use this search for medicine to be kind to Shaolin and ease the relationship between the two factions?"

Yu Lianzhou nodded slightly, and looked at Pei Xiang intently:

"Nvxia Hu, Yu Er is not the bright and open person in your impression. In Yu Er's clear conscience, he hides selfishness and partiality, and he is not stingy with plotting and fighting for power."

Pei Xiang frowned, and said softly, "I've already found out."

Yu Lianzhou recalled:

"In the past, Master taught us an extremely powerful grappling technique, but I still felt that there were loopholes in this technique, so I created twelve new moves on the basis of the original one, making this grappling technique... It's even more ruthless, and I'm complacent about it.

"However, when I showed my master the new grappling technique, the master commented that it was too insidious and not an upright move. I was sweating coldly after hearing this, and my heart was vigilant, and I kowtowed to apologize.

"Nv Xia Hu, sometimes I think, if I hadn't worshiped under Master, hadn't received Master's careful teaching, and didn't have lived in the mountains with brotherly love for many years, I would probably have gone astray by now."

Pei Xiang silently recalled the details in the original book, and immediately knew which insidious technique Yu Lianzhou was hesitating about.

She thought, this person has changed the good "tiger claw hand" into "tiger claw hand" and anyone who is caught by this hand will face the tragic result of losing their children and grandchildren, which is really sinister enough.

——This Erxia Yu...does have many faces.

Pei Xiang knew about the "Tiger's Claw Extinction", but Hu Qingyang shouldn't know the inside story, so she put aside the dirty tricks and only talked about this trip to collect herbs.

"Yu Erxia, I don't think there is anything wrong with your selfishness. You are a knight, not a saint, and now you are suffering in the deep mountains and old forests, trying to find medicinal materials. It is enough to see what you have done. "

"Woman Hu really thinks so?"

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Yu Lianzhou then smiled and said: "In this case, I was right when I praised Miss Hu yesterday. No matter what you think in your heart, the final result is that you are willing to put aside your opinions and teach others how to fish. This is chivalry and righteousness, and it is worth it." commend."

Pei Xiang was stunned for a moment, but Yu Lianzhou did not expect Yu Lianzhou to bring the topic back to last night in a roundabout way, just to praise her?

Seeing that Pei Xiang did not refute, Yu Lianzhou took advantage of the opportunity to change the topic. He looked at the animal skin in Pei Xiang's hand and asked in confusion:

"Nvxia Hu also encountered difficulties?"

Pei Xiang flicked the map in his hand, and said helplessly:

"I'm looking for the place where a senior in the division stayed before his death. According to the instructions in this picture, it should be nearby. Unfortunately, I even went to the bottom of the pool, but I didn't find any clues."

When Yu Lianzhou heard that it was related to the teacher's school, she stopped asking for details, but said directly:

"You are currently weak and your meridians are tired, so it is not appropriate to mobilize your true energy. If there is anything inconvenient to explore, you can ask me to do it."

Pei Xiang wasn't worried that Yu Lianzhou coveted her things, but felt that he shouldn't bother him so much, so he shook his head and declined.

Yu Lianzhou persuaded: "I have no idea about finding the ghost-faced tung flower and the gold and silver moss now. Maybe after doing something for you, I will find some surprises by accident."

Pei Xiang glanced sideways at Yu Lianzhou, who was especially warm-hearted tonight, and then turned her head to stare at the flickering flames for a while. After a while, she couldn't help scratching her cheek.

——It's not that I often feel good about myself, but...this person...wouldn't want to pursue me, would he?
