I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Speaking of the Songshan Conference, Hong Qi patted the fragments of the treasure map hidden in his bosom, and shook his head helplessly:

"After we put together the five fragments in front of the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, if we determine the location of the book collection, it may cause a new round of disputes."

Ouyang Feng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly:

"The disputes between the rivers and lakes have never subsided, and whoever has the best martial arts has always had the final say."

Hong Qi squinted at Ouyang Feng, and laughed while drinking:

"This is true. It's a pity, brother, your martial arts are not so powerful that you are the best. Otherwise, wouldn't the "Nine Yin Manual" be in your pocket?"

Ouyang Feng said proudly: "I don't dare to call myself number one in the world, but I am also confident that I will not fall behind others, so I naturally have the ambition to win. Hong Qi, don't make fun of me, I don't believe that you and Island Master Huang don't want to get it." Since the "Nine Yin Scriptures" have this kind of thought, it is better to say it openly."

"Oh, the beggar has practiced martial arts for nearly 20 years, so I must be curious about the best martial arts secret book in the world," Hong Qi readily admitted, "But the beggar is used to being lazy, and he has to take care of a group of beggar brothers, big and small. , definitely didn’t put too much energy into finding the "Nine Yin Scriptures."

Huang Yaoshi said calmly: "Huang is very curious about the "Nine Yin Manual", and wants to know whether it can bear the title of 'No. [-] in the world'."

Hong Qi smacked his mouth and shook his head regretfully:

"It's a pity, when the "Nine Yin Manual" appears, the person who finds it will definitely not be as generous and righteous as the owner of Ouyang Zhuang, willing to make the content public. Alas, there is only one copy of the secret book, and those who want to know the content of the secret book There are too many. There is a lot of strife, maybe everyone will be beaten to death, first earn the No.1 in the world, and then decide the ownership of the number one book in the world."

Pei Xiang smiled and said, "Actually, if martial arts are used to determine the ownership of the "Nine Yin Manual", it would be a good way to reduce bloody conflicts. After all, not everyone is capable of winning the title of number one in the world. "

Ouyang Zheng nodded slightly, agreeing very much:

"Xiang'er is right. We Jianghu people are not blindly aggressive and prey on the weak. At that time, if the appearance of the "Nine Yin Manual" caused a greater disturbance, or even involved innocent people, then we needed to be respected and respected. The hero of benevolence and righteousness stood up."

"Stand up for what?"

"Invite the heroes of the world to compete, and the person with the greatest ability will naturally have the "Nine Yin Manual". If the rest are not convinced, then continue to practice martial arts and practice hard, and then challenge and try to win the secret book. "

Hong Qi came to a sudden: "In this way, the struggle about the "Nine Yin Manual" will be confined to a small area. It will not be like now, where everyone feels that they have a chance, and everyone participates in the robbing. Today, brothers fight against each other. In the Ming Dynasty, the husband and wife turned against each other, and in the future, the gangs would fight fiercely and even destroy the family... It is really chilling and frightening."

Ouyang Feng sneered again and again: "The leader of the dignified beggar gang, is this frightened?"

Hong Qi rolled his eyes and only talked to other people:

"However, it is not easy to choose a person of high morals and respect who can convince everyone. This person must not only have a reputation as a chivalrous man, but also have high martial arts skills, and have enough ability to take on the responsibility of protecting the "Nine Yin Manual". It's up to the younger generation or the foreign race."

Pei Xiangwen said in a warm voice: "Many people are convinced by Taoist Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen School, and then there are the abbot Master of Shaolin and you, Master Hong. If one of the three comes forward to preside over this matter, it will be a matter of course."

Hong Qi shook his head hastily, he said that he was still young, and his prestige and qualifications were not as good as Wang Chongyang and Shaolin Abbot, so it was difficult for him to take on this task.

Sitting opposite Hong Qi, Huang Yaoshi put down his chopsticks and muttered slightly:

"Governor Hong is indeed younger. Even if his martial arts and conduct are outstanding, for some pedantic and stubborn people, such a big event must be ranked by seniority. Besides, although Master Shaolin Abbot meets the requirements, he is a monk, so he is not as good as Wang Chongyang has the military exploits against the Jin Kingdom, so after all the calculations, it still has to fall on the head of the Quanzhen Sect."

Hong Qi nodded again and again, and at the same time did not forget to munch on the food.

Ouyang Feng had already drunk a lot of wine at this time, and his tone was a little lazy:

"This is all our speculation. Who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe, someone is walking on the road, suddenly fell down, and then discovered the "Nine Yin Manual". When the time comes, he will pass the secret book Hide it and practice secretly, and others don't know."

Pei Xiang smiled, raised his glass and said: "What the second son said is very true. It is too early for us to discuss these things now. The wind is clear and the moon is bright tonight, and the friends are gathered together. Why should we keep talking about such a heavy topic? Why don't we just let it go?" Have a drink with your heart open, don't let down such a good night. Seventh brother, Yao brother, I respect you two."

Ouyang Feng was slightly drunk at this time, so he became a little more lively. He also drank a cup, and at the same time muttered in a moderate voice:

"Sister-in-law, why do you still call me the second son? You should be the second younger brother. Besides, I already have a son, so do I have to change this name? Well, brother, you are in good health, so, from now on, you will be Bai Lord of Tuoshan Mountain, I am the second master of Baituoshan Mountain. Well, that’s it, and then...don’t let me share the common affairs, accounts, business and human relations. Brother, I want to fight for the number one in the world, those trivial people The work is too late for my practice."

Seeing Ouyang Feng shirk the trifles of family affairs so sincerely, Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time, he also appreciated his brother's kindness.

He knew that the other party said these words in public at this time, intending to take the opportunity to clarify the successor of Baituoshan again, and automatically gave up the opportunity to compete.

Previously, Ouyang Zheng was too weak to practice the Ouyang family's family martial arts, let alone carry forward the family martial arts.For martial arts families, such younger generations generally cannot inherit the family.

But Ouyang Zheng is the eldest son, talented and powerful, and his methods are strong and meticulous. At a young age, the influence of Ouyang's family is no longer limited to the vicinity of Baituo Mountain. No one can ignore his contribution.

Therefore, before the death of the Patriarch of the Ouyang family of the previous generation, he did not pass on the position of patriarch to the second son with outstanding martial arts talent over the eldest son, but confessed that the two brothers should support each other.

Ouyang Zheng understood what his father had said, and he also knew the importance of a top master to the inheritance and development of a martial arts family. In addition, his vision and mind were no longer limited to the so-called family property.Therefore, he directly negotiated with Ouyang Feng and proposed that the two brothers take charge of White Camel Mountain together.

Later, when he came back from a serious injury, he thought he was going to die soon, so he handed over more rights to Ouyang Feng, and helped him establish and strengthen his position as the head of the family many times, and Ouyang Feng was also ready to succeed his elder brother and inherit the family.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Zheng not only survived, but also regained his health, and he was able to practice advanced martial arts.In this way, some things become blurred.

In the two years since Pei Xiang left, Ouyang Zheng was not in a hurry to return to White Camel Mountain, but instead managed and developed forces in the Kingdom of Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty.

And Ouyang Feng repeatedly "run away from home", on the one hand, he really didn't like the endless documents and books, on the other hand, he was telling Ouyang Zheng and Baituoshan people in disguise that he had no intention of replacing them.

Now, after going through a life-and-death parting, Ouyang Feng is more aware of his life pursuit.He not only hopes that his relatives are safe and sound, but also desires to make further progress in martial arts and become an invincible grandmaster.Therefore, he publicly expressed his attitude at the banquet before the Songshan Conference.

Ouyang Zheng saw Ouyang Feng's firm attitude, and was very aware of his brother's obsession and persistence in martial arts, so he didn't say much humility, he just raised his wine glass as a signal, and then drank it down.

it is more than words.

Hong Qi on the side drank a small bowl of mushroom soup, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, and at the same time muttered in his heart:

"Ouyang Feng, who is a poisonous person, is really good to his family. Just looking at how he gets along with his relatives, he feels that this person is quite affectionate and righteous. But in fact, apart from these few family members, he is a cruel and vicious man. Sinister, well matched by the two poisonous snakes on his staff."

Pei Xiang saw that the brothers of Ouyang's family had a deep brotherhood, while Hong Qi was busy tasting delicious food and distracted, so he chatted with Huang Yaoshi.

The two have been together for more than two years and have learned a lot from each other, so they have a lot in common.They don't talk about martial arts and medical skills at the banquet, but only talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and a subset of classics and history.

Ouyang Feng was relaxed, and suddenly noticed the scene where Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi had a happy conversation, and frowned.

He didn't forget why his sister-in-law had to reconcile with his elder brother back then, nor did he forget the sudden increase in workload on him after his sister-in-law left.Now, seeing that he can concentrate on pursuing martial arts, he must never let his sister-in-law be "hooked up" by that Huang Yaoshi again.

God knows if it happens again, my brother will chase him to Peach Blossom Island and leave everything to him.

"Ahem, sister-in-law, you haven't agreed to what I said before." Ouyang Feng interrupted the conversation between Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi.

Pei Xiang froze for a moment, and then remembered the title question.

She said truthfully: "I am still in a state of peace with your elder brother. I will change my name after I marry him next time."

Before Ouyang Feng could say anything, Hong Qi choked up: "Harmony?"

Pei Xiang glanced at Ouyang Zheng, and Ouyang Zheng put down his glass and explained with a smile:

"Brother Seven, do you still remember that I had the disease of leaving the soul before?"

Hong Qi nodded, took a sip of wine to suppress his shock.

"At that time, my wife and I had some misunderstandings, so we signed the agreement. But now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we are planning to revisit the church and get married. The date is set after the Songshan Conference. Seventh brother, you must come to the wedding, If you don’t get drunk, you won’t return.”

"Ah, ok, ok, you two virtuous couples... Well, this, as long as you two are happy, I, haha, if there is no urgent matter in the gang, I will definitely go ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Pei Xiang smiled sweetly, raised his glass and said:

"Speaking of which, Seventh Brother and I have known each other for a long time, but it's a pity that Seventh Brother didn't come to the wedding banquet with the Eldest Young Master. However, being able to attend this event is the most important thing."

——After all, the meaning is different.

Hong Qi toasted in return, thinking:

"I made a mistake about the choice of Pei Xiang's husband before. Once I leaked the word in front of Ouyang Feng, which caused the other party to show a very strange expression, and then his face changed drastically and he beat him directly. After that, he and I The beams are getting deeper and deeper.

"Later, I finally figured out what was going on, and felt that I would never say anything wrong again, but these two people are not husband and wife anymore? Then, at this moment, they invited me to the wedding banquet...

——From now on... it won't change anymore, will it?

That night, Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi both drank a lot of wine and gradually became noisy.

After watching from the sidelines for a while, Huang Yaoshi lost his patience, said hello, and left the table directly.He is still not used to such a long time of excitement.

Pei Xiang and Ouyang Zheng sat with each other for a while, and then they also left together.The good night is short, and the wine is slightly drunk. It's time to spend the night before and the moon.

The next day, many martial arts practitioners gathered in front of the gate of Shaolin Temple on Mount Song.

They didn't come here to make trouble, but they heard that someone was going to announce the contents of the treasure map of the "Nine Yin Scriptures" in public, so they came here specially.

"Is this news accurate? Is there really someone who is... well, broad-minded and willing to make the treasure map public?"

"I don't believe it either, but the disciples of the Beggar Clan are yelling everywhere. I wonder if I can't lie to people?"

"Ah? Did you hear it from the disciples of the Beggars' Sect? I got the news from the Quanzhen disciples. Hey, since both the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggars' Sect have admitted it, then this matter must not be false."

"My little brother also thinks the same way, so I came here specially to join in the fun."

"Hey, look quickly, among the people gathered over there, there are disciples of the Beggar Clan, Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect, and Shaolin monks... What sect are those people wearing white clothes from? They all seem to have real kung fu skills. Lianjiazi."

"White clothes... If my brother is not mistaken, those people should be the guards of White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions."

"White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions? I haven't heard much about it."

"I only say one name, Ouyang Feng!"

"Ah, it's him! By the way, I vaguely heard that the man came from outside the pass..."

All kinds of comments in the crowd came and went, true and false.

After a while, the main gate of Shaolin Temple opened wide, and a group of monks came out from inside, headed by the benevolent Shaolin Abbot.

As soon as Master Abbot appeared, Wang Chongyang led a group of Quanzhen disciples to meet him.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, they suddenly looked towards the direction of the mountain road at the same time, and everyone turned their heads to wait and see, and saw Hong Qi, the leader of the beggar gang, and a young man in white coming side by side.

This young man in white is Ouyang Zheng. After saluting with some fellow martial artists, he directly revealed his identity and purpose to everyone present.

"...Because of Zheng's healing, my younger brother and Master Yuanchen failed to prevent Qiu Qianzhang from stealing the treasure map in time, and they did not expect that there would be subsequent snatching. Although there were frequent accidents, Zheng still felt sorry, so he I want to know this matter personally. In the past two years, I have exhausted all my efforts on the White Camel Mountain, found three fragments, and learned... So I invite all martial arts comrades to gather on Shaoshi Mountain to witness the fusion of the five fragments. It’s a process of becoming one. At the same time, Master Abbot and the eminent monks of Tianlong Temple will also be invited to translate the Sanskrit content on the treasure map so that everyone can know all the details..."

Ouyang Zheng did not give Wang Chongyang the opportunity to explain the whole story in public, but stood in front of him very naturally, explaining the cause and effect clearly.

He has a calm and indifferent demeanor, and his voice is clear and comfortable. When he talks freely, it is very easy to win the favor and trust of the audience. In addition, what he said happens to be of interest to everyone, and it is even more able to attract everyone's attention. .

Of course, while highlighting the contribution of Baituo Mountain, he also praised the benevolence and generosity of the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Gang, the respect and respect of Master Abbot and others, and the enthusiasm and friendliness of the Dali Duan family.In short, after he finished speaking clearly, no one present was dissatisfied.

Therefore, everyone realized that this noble young man in a white brocade robe in front of him was benevolent and chivalrous.In order to avoid more disputes in the martial arts, Ouyang Zheng would rather suffer losses on his own side, but also stand up to maintain the peace of the martial arts.

In front of the mountain gate, Ouyang Zheng took out three fragments of maps from his sleeve after giving a speech, and handed them to Abbot Shaolin without hesitation, then looked at Wang Chongyang and Hong Qi with a smile.

After reacting, Hong Qi and Wang Chongyang immediately handed the fragments to Master Abbot without any hesitation.However, in the same way, they are just a little bit less interesting...

—— Ouyang Zheng's act of taking the lead in handing over the fragments won a lot of goodwill and admiration invisibly.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the five fragments, under the green pine tree not far away, Huang Yaoshi said softly:

"After this incident, the good reputation of White Camel Mountain will be completely spread. It is obvious that the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Gang each handed over a fragment and also maintained the stability of the martial arts, but in the end, Ouyang Zhuang's credit and benefits are all The Lord has to go."

Pei Xiang bent his lips: "He is the head of the family, so he naturally has to make plans for the development of the family. Besides, doing good deeds without leaving a name is not a character that a businessman should have."

Huang Yaoshi raised his eyebrows and did not comment on this.

On the other side, Duan Zhixing, who traveled to the Central Plains with the eminent monks of Tianlong Temple, also saw some tricks. He sighed and said with emotion to the officials and guards around him:

"We agreed to Baituoshan's deal at the beginning, and asked Master Yuanchen to use a yang finger to save people. We really didn't expect to save such a powerful person."

"A powerful person? This... this subordinate has never heard of this Ouyang villa master's achievements in martial arts. But Ouyang Feng from White Camel Mountain is very powerful. It is said that he can draw with the beggar gang master."

Duan Zhixing shook his head slightly, but smiled silently.

After about one stick of incense, the abbot of Shaolin and the eminent monk of Tianlong Temple completed the translation of the Sanskrit on the treasure map at the same time.The two wrote it silently, and then compared the translation in public to prove that they did not intentionally mislead the martial arts fellows present.

——The five fragments were put together on the spot, and the Sanskrit was translated face-to-face, eliminating the possibility of fraud.

Thus, this mysterious treasure map has been completely presented in front of everyone so far, and everyone can see the contents clearly and know what is said and drawn on the map.

After the silence, there was another uproar.

Next, everyone began to trace the treasure map first, and Ouyang Zheng gave up the center position without hesitation.

After exiting the crowd, the handsome man in white looked around for a while, and soon found where Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi were standing, and walked over directly.

Seeing Ouyang Zheng approaching, Huang Yaoshi nodded slightly towards Pei Xiang, then turned and left.

"Bored?"

Ouyang Zheng took out a peanut brittle candy from his purse and fed it to Pei Xiang.

"How could it be boring to fully appreciate the elegant demeanor of Ouyang Zhuangzhu? I just think the time is too short."

With a chuckle, Ouyang Zheng also ate a piece of crispy peanut candy, feeling that the sweetness was just right.

"Is there any difference between the original treasure map and the tracing version in your hand?"

"I just took a look and found that there is not much difference. I don't think there will be any new discoveries."

"I think it's the same result," Pei Xiang said softly, "Since it's Gongsun Hao who left him behind, he must have tried his best when he described it."

Ouyang Zheng let out a "hmm".He was a little disappointed at the fact that he didn't narrow down the scope of his search, but he turned around and didn't care.

What he cares most about now is his wedding banquet with Pei Xiang.

"I have just invited Daoist Wang Chongyang, as well as people from the Duan family in Dali."

Pei Xiang followed Ouyang Zheng's line of sight, and happened to see Duan Zhixing and his party.

Hearing Ouyang Zheng's introduction in a low voice, she suddenly realized that the majestic young man was the future "Southern Emperor" Master Yideng.

—Well, maybe you won't become a monk?

Seven years later, the "Nine Yin Scriptures" came out, and it really caused bloody storms in the world again.

In order to quell the martial arts turmoil, Wang Chongyang, the head teacher of Quanzhen Sect, invited the heroes of the world to participate in the Huashan Sword Discussion, and suggested that the final winner should keep the "Nine Yin Manual".
