I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Pei Xiang hurriedly rushed to the town where Ouyang Zheng and his party stopped for a few days, and was greeted by Ouyang Feng with a slightly troubled expression.

"Second brother, how is your elder brother's health? Does the Taoist healing method and the Dali Duan family's Yiyang finger work?"

"Sister-in-law is well, you have worked hard all the way."

Ouyang Feng clasped his fists in a white suit and saluted, and invited Pei Xiang to sit down.

"Thanks to my sister-in-law's healing exercise, which echoes with the internal force of Master Yuanchen's one-yang finger, two-pronged approach, internal and external treatment, brother's poisonous wounds in his body have been healed, and the meridians are no longer completely closed and shrinking. Now the qi and blood are unobstructed , yin and yang are in harmony, and the internal organs are full of vitality. According to Master Yuanchen's diagnosis, my brother's life span is no longer hindered."

Pei Xiang immediately beamed with joy.Although she had expected it, she was still very happy to hear Ouyang Feng's exact answer at this time.

"Since there is no serious problem, why don't you see your elder brother? Also, you said that there was a 'slight accident' in Feige's letter before. What kind of accident is it?"

Hearing Pei Xiang's impatient question, Ouyang Feng didn't have the unruly and unruly attitude at all. He touched the little black snake on his wrist quietly, and couldn't help sighing.

Recalling the chaotic scene in the first few days, Ouyang Feng closed his eyes and said helplessly:

"Sister-in-law, brother, he has the disease of leaving the soul and has forgotten many things."

Pei Xiang blinked, staring blankly at the serious Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng nodded affirmatively:

"At the end of the treatment, there was a little accident, and then... there was a problem with my brother's memory."

"Divorce amnesia? What degree of amnesia? Completely forget the past?"

"Brother, he, um, has forgotten his name, identity, and past life experience. He... seems to be a little confused. He always thinks that he used to be Dr. Xinglin, and he doesn't want to look at the account book, and... he doesn't remember the marriage. gone."

"Forget the past completely? Then why do you still think that you are a doctor? Does he treat people?"

Mentioning this, Ouyang Feng was a little dumbfounded:

"Although my brother has forgotten his identity, he can still read and write, remember what he has learned in the past, and even... he silently recites the healing exercise that sister-in-law taught him every day. Well, it is also the exercise This reason made my elder brother very convinced that he was a doctor before. Otherwise, how could he still firmly remember a Taoist exercise for healing injuries after forgetting many past events?"

Hearing this, even though Pei Xiang was worried, he couldn't help but smile.

"Since I still remember what I learned in the past, there must be no problem with dressing and eating."

But Ouyang Feng shook his head and said: "Brother didn't quite remember those things when he just woke up, and caused a lot of trouble. But he learned it very quickly, and he remembered it almost after someone else had done it once. About After seven or eight days, it looks like a normal person."

"Seven or eight days? Once you learn it?"

"Yes, you can learn it as soon as you learn it." As he spoke, Ouyang Feng's tone unexpectedly showed a hint of pride.

Pei Xiang was confused by Ouyang Feng's tone and attitude, but after thinking about it for a while, she suddenly understood the reason why Ouyang Feng was not very nervous.

——The man's previous health was very bad, and it was not easy to be alive.

In the face of life and death, everything else is trivial.

Therefore, when Ouyang Zheng's body fully recovered, even though he was still suffering from the disease of leaving the soul, to his brother Ouyang Feng, being alive and having a good lifespan was more important than anything else.

——Besides, seeing the clumsy and foolish elder brother whom he respects, the younger brother might not have snickered.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Xiang slightly digested the truth revealed by Ouyang Feng, and after a while, she asked:

"What about others? I'll go and check his pulse."

Ouyang Feng didn't get up immediately, he summoned the attendant outside the door and asked:

"Where is the eldest son at this time?"

"Reporting to the second son, the eldest son went out to Longtan Temple in the morning. He said that he loved the clear springs and clouds in the mountains, and he wanted to stay in the temple for a few days. Just now, Bai Liu, who was next to the eldest son, came back to pick up his clothes and Yaoqin. I want to report back to the Second Young Master."

"Understood, you step back."

After the attendants left, Pei Xiang asked Ouyang Feng, "Where is Longtan Temple?"

"It's in Qingyun Mountain on the outskirts of Nancheng. Let's go, let's go find Big Brother."

Pei Xiang nodded slightly, the two were about to leave when Bai Er hurried over with a stack of letters and account books.

"Ma'am, you are back! The subordinates and others hope that you will be safe and healthy, and return as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your condolences, I am fine."

Ouyang Feng didn't seem to notice Bai Er's arrival, he walked out with his head held high and his chest held high.However, as soon as he moved, he was blocked by Bai Er.

"Second son, these are the documents and letters that need to be processed today, as well as the general ledger of last month and the details of the personnel changes in Xixia. Please review them. In addition, Mr. Zhong, the manager of Bifeng Tea Shop, and the North and South Security Bureau Chief Escort Liu and shopkeeper Hu Da of Sanyou Tea House have something to report to you personally, and they are already waiting in the outer courtyard."

Ouyang Feng's face darkened and he didn't make a sound, his eyes were full of refusal.

Bai Er was still smiling, lowering his eyes respectfully, but he didn't give way.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Ouyang Zheng had handled these matters before, but now Ouyang Feng had to do it for him, and he didn't know how he handled them.

Ouyang Feng cleared his throat: "Bai Er, didn't you see that the eldest lady has come back? I am in a hurry to lead the eldest lady to Longtan Temple to meet the eldest son. Don't get in the way, get out of the way, are you going to delay the affairs of the masters?" ?"

Bai Er hurriedly said: "I dare not, I will send these documents and letters that urgently need to be approved to the second son's study, and come back tomorrow to pick them up. It's just that Mr. Zhong is in charge of them waiting in the outer courtyard. When will the second master allow them?" Come in to see you?"

Ouyang Feng frowned, only feeling a sharp pain in his temple.

Since his elder brother Ouyang Zheng lost his memory, he has to face Bai Er's annoying smiling face and endless accounts every day, and the time for practicing exercises has been significantly reduced.If this continues, he wants to run away from home.

"Bai Er, you..." Suddenly, Ouyang Feng turned his gaze, and his cold and impatient tone suddenly warmed up a lot, "Cough, sister-in-law, yes, sister-in-law, you are back, cough, I remember my brother was sick before At that time, you took over many things, this..."

Pei Xiang smiled lightly, and bypassed the topic and said:

"Second brother, if you are busy, you don't have to accompany me to Longtan Temple. I can take someone to find your elder brother by myself. Oh, it's getting late, and I am very worried about my husband's health. Second brother, I Let's go ahead, you and Bai Er can get busy with business."

After finishing speaking, Pei Xiang left Ouyang Feng quickly and left, and then raised her voice to order someone to lead the way. She was going to Longtan Temple in the southern outskirts of the city.

On the way to Longtan Temple, Pei Xiang asked the accompanying Bai Jiu about the reason for Ouyang Zheng's amnesia, and finally figured out something that happened after she left.

"Ma'am, while Young Master Hong escorted Master Yuanchen northward, Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master also left the Western Regions and headed southward, and this is where the two of us met.

"After seeing Master Yuanchen, he rested for two more days before starting to heal the eldest son's wounds. But on the day of the healing, Shangguan Jiannan, the head of the Iron Palm Gang, brought the martial arts people from the Jiangnan area to find them. They angrily scolded us. The people from Tuoshan have small stomachs and small intestines, and used treacherous tricks to frame and kidnap Qiu Qianren. Shangguan Jiannan and others asked the second son to hand over Qiu Qianren and apologize to the Iron Palm Gang."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang temporarily interrupted Bai Jiu's narration, and asked in doubt:

"Then why did Qiu Qianren sneak attack on us? After you meet up, the eldest son and the second son will interrogate and understand?"

Bai Jiu sighed, smiled bitterly and said:

"The eldest son's physical condition was particularly bad at that time. He was exhausted from the journey and worried about your safety, the eldest lady. He didn't have the extra energy to interrogate Qiu Qianren himself. The second son was in charge. But... the second son's methods were more drastic. It forced Qiu Qianren to keep silent. Afterwards, Shangguan Jiannan came and brought a group of mobs to disturb the Eldest Young Master's treatment, and the Second Young Master became ruthless and beat Qiu Qianren to death in front of Shangguan Jiannan."

Pei Xiang frowned and said, "That is to say, Qiu Qianren has never explained the reason for his sneak attack? After his death, wouldn't Baituoshan and the Iron Palm Gang continue to die? Didn't there be a scuffle after that? I didn't hear it when I was on my way." What is the wind?"

Bai Jiu shook his head and continued to explain:

"Ma'am, please listen to me. This matter is a bit complicated. When some things happened, the subordinates and others were confused, and many truths were found out later."

"Okay, you say, just pass the time."

Bai Jiu organized his language and said slowly:

"Ma'am, when Shangguan Jiannan came here, the Eldest Young Master was in a critical moment of healing. Therefore, Young Master Hong and the Second Young Master have been trying to appease the other party's people and reason with them. Fortunately, although Shangguan Jiannan was angry, but I still trust Master Hong Shao quite a bit, so I agreed to sit down and talk in detail first.

"According to what Shangguan Jiannan said, he has figured out the conflict between us and Gongsun Hao, and he also knows that Qiu Qianren should not help Gongsun Hao hunt down and kill the two seriously injured people, but since we have turned the war into jade, we should not secretly revenge on Qiu Qianren afterwards. , and locked Qiu Qianren in secret.

"After we listened to Shangguan Jiannan's words, we knew that he was deceived by someone with a heart, so we explained the truth to him, because the leader Hong Shao testified, and the woman and baby who were in distress at the time could be questioned and investigated. Although Shangguan Jiannan didn't want to believe that his apprentice was a despicable person, but he stopped being aggressive.

"Seeing that both of us have calmed down, the inner room suddenly remembered Master Yuanchen's angry scolding, and the second young master and Young Master Hong rushed in immediately. I will block the entrance of the inner room to prevent Shangguan Jiannan and others from getting close to the big man." son.

"I didn't know until the Second Young Master and Master Hong appeared again. Just as we were concentrating on dealing with Shangguan Jiannan and his party, a thief sneaked in, pretending to be the apprentice of Master Yuanchen, and sneaked into the inner room. Find the master's luggage.

"After the thief was discovered, he tried to interfere with the Eldest Young Master's healing. Fortunately, it was near the end of the treatment, so there was no danger, and the Eldest Young Master was not killed. But... it still has some influence, alas, otherwise the Eldest Young Master would not be able to Suffering from the disease of leaving the soul and amnesia."

Pei Xiang's mood fluctuated with Bai Jiu's narration. Hearing the end, he couldn't help but secretly said that it was really dangerous.At the same time, I couldn't help feeling disgusted with the person who broke in secretly.

"Who was the intruder? Was it caught?"

Bai Jiu nodded, equally annoyed.

"That man is a rascal who is used to stealing chickens and dogs. He is Qiu Qianren's twin brother, named Qiu Qianzhang. His martial arts are low, and he doesn't have the hard bones of his brother. He just confessed everything after being scared by the poisonous snake of the second son.

"It turns out that it was Qiu Qianzhang who instigated Shangguan Jiannan to come to us to ask for Qiu Qianren. He found out that Qiu Qianren had never returned after secretly leaving Suzhou City, so he knew that something might have happened to Qiu Qianren.

"He used to pretend to be Qiu Qianren by relying on the similar looks of the twins, so after finding out that something happened to Qiu Qianren, he repeated his tricks and found Qiu Qianren's private house, pretending to be his brother and interrogating a man and a woman who were hidden by Qiu Qianren."

Pei Xiang had a flash of inspiration, and asked quickly:

"A man and a woman? Could it be the two that Gongsun Hao chased and killed?"

"It's not just them who have the insight, Da Furen," Bai Jiu sneered, and said angrily, "These two people have caused us so much trouble, it would be a pity to die."

"They...or what secrets did Gongsun Hao hide?"

Bai Jiu subconsciously lowered her voice and explained:

"Reporting to the eldest lady is related to the "Nine Yin Manual"."

Pei Xiang was surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked silently.

Seeing this, Bai Jiu immediately talked about the antecedents.

How the woman named Yujiao stole Gongsunhao's treasure map, how she fled, how she hid the treasure map in Master Yuanchen's luggage, and how she was interrogated by Qiu Qianren and placed under house arrest.Bai Jiu talked about all kinds of details with ups and downs and vividly.

"Then, Yujiao and her lover were found by Qiu Qianzhang again, and revealed the secret of the "Nine Yin Manual" again."

Pei Xiang murmured: "Qiu Qianzhang learned of the existence of the treasure map from Yujiao, so he naturally became greedy. But he didn't have the skills of his brother, so he came up with a plan to attack the west. He encouraged his lover The eager Shangguan Jiannan came to trouble us and attract everyone's attention, while he was going to fish in troubled waters and search for Master Yuanchen's luggage?"

"It is indeed as the eldest lady speculated."

Bai Jiu confirmed:

"Qiu Qianzhang said that he is not sure whether the treasure map is still with Master Yuanchen. He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, not only to let Shangguan Jiannan rescue Qiu Qianren, but also to create a good opportunity for himself .

"Qiu Qianzhang confessed that he didn't expect that the treasure map was still at the bottom of Master Yuanchen's bag, and it was not exposed at all. Excited by surprise, he accidentally made a noise, which caused Master Yuanchen's attention Pay attention. At that time, he didn't know that Master Yuanchen couldn't stop, but he also saw that Master Yuanchen was expending a lot of internal energy to cure diseases and save people, so he decided to act first.

"That fellow attacked Grandmaster Yuanchen in a sneak attack. Fortunately, his martial arts is low, so he couldn't cause too much damage to Grandmaster Yuanchen, and the Second Young Master and Young Master Hong arrived in time to catch him, so there was no regret."

Pei Xiang closed her eyes slightly. When she thought of such a handsome Ouyang Zheng who was almost murdered by sneaky people, the aura around her became more and more condensed. She asked in a cold tone:

"Bai Jiu, how is that Qiu Qianzhang doing?"

Bai Jiu was overwhelmed by Pei Xiang's sudden burst of power. She suspected that she had hallucinations, and after a moment of delay, she hurriedly replied:

"Dead, madam, Qiu Qianzhang is dead."

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Pei Xiang to ask, Bai Jiu quickly explained:

"Qiu Qianzhang explained everything in front of everyone, so those martial artists were all attracted by the drawing of the burial site of the "Nine Yin Manual". , but there are so many strange skills and obscene things on his body, someone touched something, and it exploded.

"After the roar, Qiu Qianzhang was killed, and because Qiu Qianzhang hid the picture... well, in his crotch, only a small corner was blown off. Everyone rushed to fight for it, and later , the picture was torn into five parts, and the five people who got the picture ran away and were chased by others... In short, at the end, a group of people suddenly left. Only Shangguan Jiannan, Hong The Young Master and the Second Young Master were in the front hall. At that time, the Second Young Master killed Qiu Qianren to vent his anger."

Pei Xiang blinked, feeling that Bai Jiushao had said something, and also feeling that Ouyang Feng shouldn't be so calm.

Bai Jiu looked left and right for a while, and finally leaned in front of Pei Xiang and whispered "inform".

"Actually, cough cough cough, the second son also wanted to snatch the treasure map, but according to private speculation by a few of his subordinates, because Qiu Qianzhang hid the map in his trousers and crotch, it was too wretched, the second son I hesitated for a while.

"Later, the Second Young Master wanted to make a move again, but Young Master Hong stopped him and refused to let him make a move. Young Young Master Hong said that if the Second Young Master joined the battle, more than half of the people present would inevitably be killed or injured, which was too cruel and sinful. So, he kept He stopped the Second Young Master. Furthermore, Shangguan Jiannan did not take any action. The Second Young Master was worried that after he left, Shangguan Jiannan would take the opportunity to hurt the Eldest Young Master.

"All in all, the second son was very angry that day. First, the eldest son was in danger under his nose, and then he missed the treasure map, so he directly killed Qiu Qianren to vent his anger."

Pei Xiang immediately understood, so she said, since Ouyang Feng was present, why did other people snatch the treasure map?It turns out that there are so many twists and turns.

From Bai Jiu's memories, Pei Xiang figured out the cause and effect of many things, which can be regarded as solving the doubts of these days.

She never thought that Gongsun Hao's secret would be related to the "Nine Yin Manual".But thinking about it again, I don't think there's anything strange about it.

Didn't Huashan Lunjian a few years later also arise from the "Nine Yin Scriptures"?

Because that "Nine Yin Manual" caused too many vendettas, in desperation, Wang Chongyang and other experts decided to fight for the number one in the world first, and then let the number one in the world hold the "Nine Yin Manual".In this way, many rivers and lakes disputes can be quelled.

It can be said that the entire Jianghu of the Southern Song Dynasty was actually shrouded in the shadow of the "Nine Yin Manual".Xidu went crazy because of it, Dongxie lost his wife and apprentice because of it, Zhong Shentong, Nandi, old naughty boy and many people in the world are inextricably linked to this supreme classic of Taoist martial arts.

During the rest of the journey, Pei Xiang remained silent.

Bai Jiu and the others saw that she was not in high spirits, so they stopped bothering her.They thought they understood Pei Xiang's depression very well. After all, no woman could be happy after learning that her husband no longer remembered her.

Therefore, in front of the gate of the mountain temple, the guards of Baituo Mountain retreated to the distance quietly, trying not to disturb the reunion of the long-lost couple Pei Xiang and Ouyang Zheng.

When Pei Xiang saw Ouyang Zheng again, he was drinking tea under the plane tree in the backyard of Longtan Temple.On the low table at the side are Yaoqin and chessboard, a small plate of juicy seasonal fruits and a plate of fragrant and soft pastries.

Pei Xiang sighed in his heart, thinking to himself that this eldest son lived a leisurely and elegant life.

——There is no shortage of piano, chess, tea and fruit. The mountains are quiet, the temples are quiet, and you can enjoy it without worrying about the world.

"Madam didn't pass by by accident, but came here specially to find me?"

Ouyang Zheng put down his teacup, looked at Pei Xiang who was approaching directly, with pure appreciation in his eyes.He thought to himself, the good fortune of this world is really miraculous, which can give some people such a smart and outstanding appearance.

Pei Xiang met Ouyang Zheng's unfamiliar and peaceful eyes, feeling a little sad in his heart.

On the way here, she had thought about it carefully, since her five-year agreement with Ouyang Zheng had arrived, and the other party had lost his memory again, it happened to be convenient for them to get together as a fake husband and wife, and forget each other in the world.

"Master Ouyang, my surname is Pei, and I have a little knowledge of Qihuang's art. The second son of your mansion wants me to give you a pulse and check your recovery from the disease of leaving the soul."

Ouyang Zheng noticed that the guards following him did not show up to stop Pei Xiang, so he knew what she said was true.What's more, from the moment this lady appeared, he felt that she was good everywhere, not a bad person at all.So, he nodded happily in agreement.

"Madam knew me before?" Ouyang Zheng stretched out his arm for Pei Xiang to check his pulse.

Pei Xiang smiled and nodded, neither close nor distant, just like ordinary friends.

After a while, Pei Xiang finished his pulse diagnosis and asked Ouyang Zheng a few more questions.After getting a detailed answer, she was silent for a while thoughtfully, and then said softly:

"I heard from the second son that the eldest son also read medical books and knows the principles of medicine, so I'll just say it straight. The eldest son was seriously injured before, and his vitality was almost wiped out. Qi and blood recirculated unimpeded, and all diseases should have disappeared.

"However, when I checked the eldest son's pulse just now, I found that the three important governor channel acupoints of the eldest son, Naohu, Fengfu and Lingtai, were somewhat stagnant and stagnant. This is probably the main reason for the eldest son's memory loss."

Ouyang Zheng's eyes brightened slightly.He had called his own pulse before, and discussed his illness with Master Yuanchen, and knew that his soul-losing disease was caused by the blockage of the acupoints, but he couldn't determine the specific location.

——I didn’t expect this young and beautiful lady to find out the cause of the disease as soon as she made a move.

"Madam, is there a solution?"

"The eldest son has just recovered, so it is not appropriate to take medicine frequently. If you want to restore your memory, you need to take it slowly. The eldest son can wait patiently for the blockage to dissipate on its own. Within three to five years, the memory will be restored."

"I'm not in a hurry," Ouyang Zheng smiled softly, "It's just that I was very busy before and had to deal with a lot of family affairs. Now that I have forgotten my past, I can no longer worry about those complicated things, and I have to implicate my brothers It's a lot of burden for nothing."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and suggested calmly:

"With the wisdom and erudition of the eldest son, it should not be difficult to get familiar with those clan affairs again. Coupled with the assistance of the second son, he will be able to deal with it very quickly."

Ouyang Zheng chuckled, and a pair of black eyes looked at Pei Xiang warmly, with a slight smile.He noticed Pei Xiang's little temptation, but he didn't have any grievances. Instead, he blinked his eyes tacitly at Pei Xiang, and said leisurely:

"I heard my second brother talk about my past with the guards of White Camel Mountain, but I feel that there must be some discrepancies. Since I have been in poor health since I was a child and need to rest and adjust my breath, how can I find so many business customs for myself? to worry about?

"The eldest son who is sick and weak like me should live indifferently, and occasionally spend some energy teaching my younger brother so that he can grow up as soon as possible to take on family responsibilities. Life is short, and I should always do something more important."

Pei Xiang asked curiously: "What is the more important thing in the eldest son's heart?"

This question made Ouyang Zheng's brows slightly confused, and he finally showed some loss of memory at this time.

"To be honest, I can't tell. It's just that after I woke up this time, I knew that some things should be put aside. I should have more important things to do. Maybe... I did it before I lost my memory. I made a decision, but I couldn’t remember it when I woke up. But no matter what, the burden that should be handed over still has to be handed over.”

Pei Xiang nodded without further inquiry.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, thinking about how to deal with the relationship between her and Ouyang Zheng.In three to five years, too many accidents will happen, if during this period Ouyang Zheng has a woman he likes, then the relationship between them can be completely severed.

— some sprouts that break out of the ground may never have the chance to thrive.

At this time, Ouyang Zheng suddenly asked:

"My wife's surname is Pei. When I get along with my wife, I feel very relaxed, and some things come out naturally. My second brother once said that I have been married for four or five years, and I married the daughter of the Pei family in Guizhou.

"After I woke up, I didn't see my wife, but no one around me complained about her. When I mentioned it occasionally, I still trusted her... Madam, you are actually my wife Pei, Is it right?"

This question came out of nowhere, quite unexpectedly, Pei Xiang's eyebrows twitched, Xin Dao's amnesia is really not dementia, although this person has forgotten many things, he is still a ghost.

Seeing that Pei Xiang was silent, Ouyang Zheng suddenly felt a little sour.

"Madam didn't deny it, so I guessed it right. It seems...you can't trust people's words. They told me that my wife and I have a deep love for each other, but I see that although my wife is close to me, she doesn't care more. So much friendship."

Pei Xiang thought about it, and felt that he should tell the truth to Ouyang Zheng.Since this person is still above the IQ, it should be understood that the original agreement between the two has expired, and both parties should have a new choice.

So, she explained to the amnesiac version of Ouyang Zheng the real relationship between the two and the five-year agreement, and also explained her plan to leave Ouyang's house.

"We are fake couples, real friends, and there is no relationship between husband and wife. According to the original agreement, I should be a widow first and then marry someone else, but now you have recovered from a serious illness, and obviously you can live for many years. Things have already happened There has been a change. So, let's make up earlier, it just so happens that you have lost your memory, and you even have a ready-made excuse."

Hearing the phrase "widowed and remarried", Ouyang Zheng suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and a picture that he had temporarily forgotten flashed into his mind:

——His clothes were half-faded, his face was blushing, a pair of slender white jade hands gently pressed on his shoulders, as if they were stroking back and forth...

Ouyang Zheng who came back to his senses slowly lowered his head, his eyes were fixed on Xian Xiansu's hand holding the teacup, and while his ears were red, he thought to himself:

"Fake couple? Heh, I'm amnesiac and I'm not really stupid. I'm already like that... Are you lying to ghosts?"
