I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

The setting sun sinks into the hazy mountain shadow, and the silver moon hangs on the whirling treetops.

After Pei Xiang and Ouyang Zheng finished discussing things in the study, they suddenly realized that this day is so short.It seemed that they hadn't said many heartfelt words before the sky was already getting dark.

Leaving the study, the two walked along the winding path in the courtyard.

The evening breeze is gentle, and the hanging willows are curling up, accompanied by a partner who has just made up his mind, and can be touched by reaching out.Walking side by side, talking softly, occasionally making eye contact, each other feels calm and content, quiet and safe.

After dinner, Ouyang Zheng ordered a few chores to be done, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Pei Xiang flipping through a book about Qimen Dunjia.

There was a sudden movement in his heart.

"Xiang'er, you asked Island Master Huang about the techniques of Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. For this reason, you spent more than two years studying on Peach Blossom Island, and now you have completed your studies and become a teacher?"

Pei Xiang closed the book and said with a smile: "There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning. This knowledge is profound and profound. I have only learned a little superficially. How dare I claim to be a master. The master of Huangdao is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and he is outstanding. I am still trying to catch up with him."

Hearing that Pei Xiang admired Huang Yaoshi so much, Ouyang Zheng remained calm and gentle.

"Although there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, there is a way to the mountains of books. With my wife's intelligence, two years is enough to lay the foundation. If I want to study more intensively in the future, I probably need to understand and explore by myself."

"Well, thank you, Eldest Prince, for your discerning eyes and talents," Pei Xiang clasped his fists in a feigned salute, then changed his voice, and said with a sly smile, "However - how can groping and researching alone compare to making progress with like-minded friends? Although I have laid the foundation, I still feel that there are some shortcomings, and I need someone to supervise and raise points."

Ouyang Zheng sat down next to Pei Xiang, lowered his eyes and said:

"Is Madam going to Peach Blossom Island as a guest? I feel really sorry for my husband for always disturbing the purity of Island Master Huang."

Pei Xiang blinked: "What does my husband mean?"

"Being a husband means that Xiang'er can try to teach you how to be a husband. Teaching and learning will benefit you. Maybe you can benefit a lot from it. In addition, if Xiang'er has any problems, you can write to Master Huang to discuss the problem." .Although there is a slight delay in time, it is not necessarily a bad thing. During the waiting process, there may be new insights.

"Besides, the husband's business has been fully developed now, and it is involved in the north and south of the river. Naturally, I can help my wife find out more capable people and strangers. Xiang'er, you and I can travel around and visit the world on the way." Foreign experts and skilled craftsmen. Listening more, seeing more and learning more, wouldn’t it be better to increase knowledge and develop ideas than staying on a small island?”

After finishing this long passage, there was immediately a light kiss like a superficial kiss, and the lips were separated as soon as they were touched, causing the other person's breathing to be slightly disordered.

Pei Xiang frowned, and no longer intentionally teased Ouyang Zheng, even if one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, she still wanted to give her eldest son a reassurance.

"The eldest son's arrangement is so thorough, how can I ignore it? In fact, after leaving Peach Blossom Island this time, I have no plans to go back to live for a long time. After all, no matter where you are as a guest, it is not as comfortable as staying at your own home. After the eldest son Before paying off the debt, I originally planned to find myself an elegant house in the Jiangnan area. However, now that the eldest son has eaten my Yuehua Peach Blossom Pill, he has to provide me with a place to live for the rest of his life."

Ouyang Zheng raised his hand and gently touched the kissed place, a faint smile appeared in his black eyes: "Okay, forever."

Pei Xiang leaned on Ouyang Zheng's shoulder and listened quietly to the heartbeats of the two of them for a while. After a while, she pointed to the lonely copy in her hand and asked:

"My lord really wants to learn this?"

"Well, not only that, Xiang'er, do you want to learn Sanskrit?"

Pei Xiang smiled: "There are so many skills that you don't overwhelm yourself. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Not only Sanskrit, but also languages ​​commonly used in many small countries in the Western Regions. If Xiang'er is interested, we can discuss one or two together."

Pei Xiang thought for a while, and was about to agree, when Ouyang Zheng said again:

"Ouyang's family has been operating in the Western Regions of Kunlun for many years, and has collected a lot of ancient books. The content involves several small royal families that have disappeared, and their ancient inheritance is recorded in it."

"Ancient inheritance? What aspects?"

"It's very complicated, and some are also very weird. For example, ecstasy, bone-shrinking and face-changing, fake death secret medicine, blood curse, and witchcraft sacrifices and other weird techniques. When I heard it suddenly, I felt absurd and ridiculous, as if it was a magic of the folks in the countryside. Strange talk. But after careful study, there is still something feasible."

Pei Xiang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly showed some interest.

Just now, she was going to agree to Ouyang Zheng's proposal, purely to learn more languages.Although it is not very practical at present, but for the matter of language learning, the more she is, the better.Because in the last world, the skill she retained was language.

——If you choose language skills, then the new language learned in each world will be retained and will not be easily forgotten.

Pei Xiang doesn't remember what she experienced in her previous life, but she has mastered multiple languages ​​including English, French, German and Latin, and can listen, speak and write.What's more interesting is that the deepest expression in her memory has some kind of tea-flavored connotation, and I don't know where she learned it from.

With more languages ​​mastered, and with the help of the memory attic, Pei Xiang has his own unique skills and know-how when learning a new language, and he has also figured out some universal laws, which can definitely be done. Get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, when Ouyang Zheng proposed to study Sanskrit and other uncommonly used languages ​​together, although she felt that there was no such thing as Yin-Yang and Five Elements to attract her, she didn't feel reluctant, it was just that she didn't pay much attention to it.

But after listening to Ouyang Zheng's further explanation, her interest in Sanskrit and other new languages ​​became much stronger.This time, she was really motivated.

At the same time, she thought of the soul-moving method, the secret of holding one's breath, and the method of shrinking muscles and bones in the "Nine Yin Manual". She wondered if there was any connection between these Taoist methods and the secret arts of the Western Regions?Which one is better or worse between the two sides?

——The most important thing is that I can take the opportunity to let Ouyang Zheng practice the contents of "Nine Yin Scriptures". In this case, the surprises in the future will be even greater.

A few days later, Ouyang Feng, who had been on the road for a while, came back.

He looked much colder and more serious, even when he saw his brother and sister-in-law who had been away for more than two years get together like glue again, he managed to remain calm.

However, when his son was crying uncomfortably in his arms, Ouyang Feng still showed a bewildered expression.He twisted his eyebrows, and hastily stuffed the child back into the nurse's hands.

Pei Xiang shook the baby's little hand, and introduced Huang Yaoshi to Ouyang Feng.

As soon as these two people met, they really seemed to be competing for each other's edge, and after a few words, they decided to compete and learn from each other.

Seeing that there was going to be a fight, the nanny hurriedly took the one-year-old Ouyang Ke away.Pei Xiang pulled Ouyang Zheng and followed enthusiastically, not wanting to miss a wonderful fight.

Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng first competed in internal strength, and for a while they were evenly matched, and then they started to compete with each other, and they would not give in to each other.

Ouyang Feng is good at poison, the snake head stick in his hand is wrapped with two poisonous little snakes, ready to attack at all times, combined with the White Camel Mountain's family-passed Spirit Snake Staff Technique and Piaoxue Body Technique, he has both offensive and defensive skills, greatly increasing his power.

And Huang Yaoshi's kung fu is very powerful, and he has learned a lot of subtle moves from Pei Xiang in the past two years. Although he hasn't mastered all of them, it is enough to deal with Ouyang Feng's stick and poison attacks.

Pei Xiang looked at it for a while, then pondered:

"Second Young Master doesn't have many moves, but every move has been thoroughly considered by him. He has practiced the family martial arts of Baituo Mountain to a high degree over the years. Master Huang learned from others' strengths, and his moves are elegant and varied. Uncertain, there is always a touch of surprise, which makes people hard to guard against."

Ouyang Zheng looked at the two people fighting in the arena, and said in a low voice:

"One of the two of them is more important in specialization, the other is better in winning people, and their internal strength is evenly matched. This round is evenly divided."

"Eldest son, didn't you pass on the Taoist inner strength method I left to you to the second son? If he has practiced that method, his inner strength will be superior at this time."

Ouyang Zheng shook his head: "It's not the time yet. The second brother's toad kung fu still needs to be improved, and the best time to change his kung fu is when he has achieved great success. Telling him now is tantamount to distracting him. Besides, he still has your silently written healing exercises and various poisons in his hands, which is enough for now."

Pei Xiang nodded, stopped talking, and concentrated on observing Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi's martial arts.

Looking at it, her hands were itchy, and her eyes were shining.

Ouyang Zheng smiled indulgently, and signaled the guard not far away to fetch a Qingfeng sword.

After a while, Pei Xiang, who took over the long sword, aimed at the opportunity, twisted on his toes and joined the battle.

All of a sudden, three figures attacking each other appeared on the martial arts arena in Biezhuang.Sometimes they fight independently, sometimes they join forces to attack one person, and the situation on the field changes instantly.Fists, feet and swords had no eyes, and Ouyang Feng was covered in poison. Being in the middle of it was definitely dangerous, but it was also exciting enough.

Ouyang Zheng observed for a long while with his hands behind his back, and he was sure that the three of them had only used seven or eight percent of their skills, and they still had the spare power to withdraw their hands and turn around, so they no longer felt anxious all the time.On the contrary, he seriously admired the graceful figure swinging the sword vertically and horizontally.

The more he looked, the brighter the look in Ouyang Zheng's eyes became.In the end, all he could see was Pei Xiang fighting.

This was not because Ouyang Zheng valued sex over friends or was extremely eccentric, but because he realized a small part of the sword intent contained in Pei Xiang's sword moves.

Those invisible but awe-inspiring traces slowly immersed Ouyang Zheng, who is highly savvy, in a certain mysterious realm. The Taoist nine-yin internal force in his body naturally accelerated and circulated, and echoed the Taoist scriptures that Ouyang Zheng had read. .

Gradually, the internal power of washing the marrow and cutting the meridian flows like spring water and washes over Ouyang Zheng's eight extraordinary meridians and various acupoints, removing the ailments and nourishing the new life.The internal force circulated repeatedly and accumulated rapidly. Unknowingly, Ouyang Zheng's internal force cultivation broke through a big realm.

After Ouyang Zheng woke up from that mysterious state, the battle on the field continued.

When he looked at Pei Xiang's swordsmanship again, he could still perceive the sword intent far beyond her current strength and life experience, but he couldn't immerse himself in it again to continue to feel it.

Ouyang Zheng knew that the opportunity was rare, so he didn't regret it.His eyes were deep and complicated, seeming to be on and off, but gradually replaced by calmness and peace.

——No matter how my wife comprehends the mysterious sword intent that far surpasses her age and her own strength, no matter how many unspeakable secrets she has in her body, when she is here, her emotions and sorrows are all real, then enough.

In the afternoon, the battle on the field was finally over. Ouyang Feng was both afraid and admired by Huang Yaoshi, thinking to himself, he is indeed the man who can attract his sister-in-law away.And he is purely admiring and aggressive towards Pei Xiang, because he knows she is a family member, so he doesn't guard against her, but he still wants to defeat her.

Ouyang Zheng on the side observed silently for a while, and found that neither his martial idiot brothers nor the brilliant Huang Yaoshi seemed to notice the unusualness of Pei Xiang's swordsmanship.

They just thought that her swordsmanship was superb, her moves were exquisite, and she had a profound inheritance, but they didn't realize that her swordsmanship was no longer just ordinary moves.

——It is closer to a kind of "Tao".

Ouyang Zheng thought that the secret extraordinaryness he could feel probably had something to do with his experience of seeking peace and detachment from various religious classics when he was young.

At that time, he was also cynical and complained, but his pride made him unwilling to show weakness to others.Depressed to the extreme, he could only seek a little light in the vast and misty classics.

Numerous late-night solitary lamps studying hard, created the later master of White Camel Mountain.It also allowed him to recover quickly after a sudden serious injury, without becoming paranoid, mad, or decadent.

Now, he discovered the secret of his wife again...

There was a banquet in the evening, and the four of them talked happily.

After having a drink, Ouyang Zheng mentioned that he and Pei Xiang were going to marry again, and took the opportunity to invite Huang Yaoshi to watch the ceremony.

Huang Yaoshi smiled leisurely, feeling that the relationship between the two was really interesting, and Pei Xiang was his rare close friend, so he readily agreed.

On the contrary, Ouyang Feng secretly rolled his eyes while drinking, thinking that his brother and sister-in-law can make trouble.

— Unlike me, who even has a son, but hasn’t married a wife yet.

——Heh, it’s the second time for the eldest brother to come.

——The bride has not changed, why bother?

Several people were talking about the topic of marriage, and a burst of hearty laughter came from far and near.

I saw a figure jumping down from the high wall not far away, and then, the other party stepped on the lake water outside the flower hall and swayed all the way. Just judging by this lightness and internal strength, he is definitely a first-class top master.

Ouyang Feng's face suddenly darkened.

Pei Xiang stood up with a smile, and raised his voice:

"Brother Seven, I haven't seen you for a long time. Did the various aromas from the banquet attract you here?"

That figure appeared in front of everyone in a blink of an eye. As soon as he landed, he calmly dodged a hidden weapon of Ouyang Feng, and then greeted Ouyang Zheng and Pei Xiang:

"How are the Xian and his wife recently? Hong Qi drove for three days and three nights to get to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, and was disturbed by the wine and gluttons in his stomach. Haha, no, the beggar came to beg for a drink."

Ouyang Zheng said with a smile: "Seventh brother, please come to the table, tonight we will not only have fine wine from the Western Regions, but also the lamb meat and cherry lotus root soup that you praised last time."

Hong Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat down with a smile.He ignored the smirking Ouyang Feng, clasped his fists at Huang Yaoshi and said:

"My next beggar gang, Hong Qi, is your Excellency the owner of Huangdao?"

Huang Yaoshi knew that the new head of the beggar gang was an upright hero, and he had done countless chivalrous deeds over the years.He is crazy and withdrawn, but he admires true loyal knights, so his attitude towards Hong Qi is very gentle.

After the two parties greeted each other, the host and guest sat down again, and changed the subject by the way, talking about the upcoming Songshan Conference.
