I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

After Wang Chongyang proposed Huashan Lunjian, he specifically ordered his apprentice Qiu Chuji to send three letters to Ouyang's family, inviting Ouyang Zheng, Ouyang Feng and Pei Xiang to the martial arts competition.

After this incident spread in the Jianghu, many martial arts comrades were amazed.They have always known Ouyang Feng's high martial arts skills, but they have never heard of how powerful Ouyang Zheng and Pei Xiang's couple are.

"Master Ouyang and his wife?"

"How is this possible? I have never seen them make a move."

"Yes, the guards around them are very powerful, and they are also proficient in snake control, but... this has little to do with martial arts skills."

"But Wang Zhenren has high morals and high prestige, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the peak, so it is naturally impossible to make a mistake."

"This... is really unbelievable. I thought Ouyang Feng was the only expert in White Camel Mountain."

In the minds of ordinary Jianghu people, even though Ouyang Zheng and his wife are well-known and respected in the Jianghu, it has little to do with their own martial arts level.It's because the couple are very capable of making money and are willing to help the poor and the poor, donate money, and have helped many old and young women and children on and off over the years.

However, once the three invitation letters from Wang Chongyang were sent out, all those who trusted this Quanzhen Sect leader changed their minds.After being shocked, they all began to ponder, how powerful are the martial arts of Ouyang Zheng and Pei Xiang?

——Especially Pei Xiang!

She was able to get a separate letter of invitation.This shows that in Wang Zhenren's mind, this woman from the Pei family in Guizhou is not only the wife of Ouyang's family, but also an opponent he needs to treat carefully and a fellow martial artist who can compete for the world's No. [-] on Mount Hua. one of the candidates.

Not to mention how other people speculated and wondered, just talking about Qiu Chuji who was in charge of delivering the letter felt very itchy and curious.If he didn't respect his master very much, he would have suspected that his master was confused.

So, when Qiu Chuji saw Ouyang Zheng and Pei Xiang, he couldn't hold back his curiosity.He looked left and right, but he couldn't see any sign that the graceful and beautiful Mrs. Ouyang had practiced internal strength.

Qiu Chuji had an idea.

When handing in the letter, he deliberately let go in advance, and seemingly inadvertently turned over the teacup by his sleeve, as if the letter would be soaked by the warm tea in the next moment.This series of small accidents happened so suddenly that there was no room for thinking about it, and it was easy to test out some real skills.

Of course, Qiu Chuji would not really damage Master Wang Chongyang's autographed letter. While creating an accident, he had secretly made preparations and was sure to prevent tea from spilling on the paper in time.

Qiu Chuji stared at Pei Xiang without blinking, but he did not expect that Pei Xiang on the opposite side did not act according to his plan.Not only did she not immediately rescue the letter that was about to get wet, but she flicked her sleeves and lightly sealed Qiu Chuji's chance to make a move, so that he could only watch helplessly as Wang Chongyang's handwritten letter was about to be destroyed by the tea.

Qiu Chuji's complexion changed drastically, and he didn't even have time to regret it in the blink of an eye, only anxiety remained in his heart.

Pei Xiang chuckled, seeing that he had successfully frightened Qiu Chuji, so he lightly withdrew his blocking movement.At the same time, she turned her wrist slightly, and a sword aura popped out from her fingertips, deflecting the falling paper in time, and waved her hand again, causing the teacup to spin in the opposite direction and fly towards Qiu Chuji's Taoist robe.

Qiu Chuji wanted to hide, but found that he couldn't move.He turned his head in shock, and saw the owner of Ouyang Village who was smiling brightly and silently standing behind him, holding his shoulder...

"I'm ashamed, I was rude." Qiu Chuji blushed and apologized in a low voice.

How could he doubt the strength of Pei Xiang and Ouyang Zheng at this moment.In just a short moment, they not only broke the game, but also gave an appropriate counterattack.

This series of actions was completed almost instantly.It is as fast as lightning, and it shakes people's minds. If there is no vision, strength and experience of top experts, how can they be so light and calm.

Pei Xiang smiled and said nothing, lowered his head to read the letter, and Ouyang Zheng was on the side to greet the beloved disciple of Chongyang Daoist.

A while later, after reading the invitation letter, Pei Xiang went to the study to write a reply, and when she returned, Ouyang Feng also appeared in the hall.

"Second brother, do you want to participate in the Huashan Discussion of Swords?"

Ouyang Feng nodded without hesitation, and at the same time, he was thinking in his heart, if their family dispatched three people this time, wouldn't the "Nine Yin Manual" be within reach?

——Even if the old Taoist priest Wang Chongyang has the advantage of being more than twenty years older, has more vigorous and profound internal strength and richer experience in defending against the enemy, he is still no match for the three of us joining forces.

But Pei Xiang immediately shattered Ouyang Feng's fantasy. After she handed the reply letter to Qiu Chuji, she explained with a smile:

"I'm sorry to bother Daoist Qiu for making this trip. It's a great honor for Pei Xiang to be valued by Daoist Chongyang. It's a pity that I have recently reached a critical juncture in my practice, and I need to practice in seclusion for a period of time. I really can't travel far. Sigh, I probably have to Missed this time Huashan Lunjian."

Qiu Chuji was slightly taken aback.

However, before he could say anything, Ouyang Zheng on the other side also said immediately:

"When my wife is practicing in seclusion, I will definitely stand by and guard. I can only regret to miss this grand event."

This time, it was Pei Xiang's turn to be surprised.She knew that Ouyang Zheng really wanted to get the "Nine Yin Manual", and also had the idea of ​​competing with the world's masters.

Over the past seven years, Ouyang Zheng seems to have gotten through a certain key trick, and it may also be because he has accumulated too much martial arts insights in the past few years. In short, his martial arts cultivation has improved rapidly, and he has already managed to come from behind.And he is not really a person with a weak heart, how can a man in the rivers and lakes not want to be famous in the world?

——This time Huashan Discussion on Swords is a very good opportunity.

Ouyang Feng was also puzzled, this time Huashan Lunjian was not only to compete for the title of No. [-] in the world, but also to determine the ownership of the "Nine Yin Manual".If the two of them went to Mount Hua together, it would be easier to obtain the secret books of martial arts.

——Even if you can't fight one-on-one, you can still plot an ambush.

"Big brother?"

Ouyang Zheng shook his head slightly, signaling to Ouyang Feng to talk later.

Ouyang Feng had no choice but to keep silent for the time being.

After Qiu Chuji went to the guest room to rest, Ouyang Zheng explained:

"Xiang'er's retreat and breakthrough is very important. If you are not careful, you will leave hidden dangers. If you and I go to Huashan together and leave her alone to practice and break through, I am worried that there will be accidents."

"Can't sister-in-law wait a little longer?"

Ouyang Feng vaguely knew that Pei Xiang had taken the extremely difficult path of body forging, and every time he broke through, he had to go through a lot of pain and danger, but he didn't know the specifics.

Pei Xiang shook his head and explained frankly:

"This month is the best time to break through. If it continues to be delayed, the difficulty of breaking through in the future will increase a lot. What's more, there are two extremely rare medicinal materials that have been prepared and need to be used as soon as possible. If it is too late, there may be Interfering with medicine."

After listening to Pei Xiang's explanation, Ouyang Feng felt quite depressed, but he couldn't say that he would let Pei Xiang retreat and break through later.Of course, he also immediately gave up the idea of ​​persuading his elder brother Ouyang Zheng to go to Huashan with him. After all, these years of life experience told Ouyang Feng that some suggestions don't even need to be mentioned, it is a waste of time.

On the contrary, Pei Xiang didn't really want Ouyang Zheng to stay, she knew that her husband was looking forward to this Huashan sword debate.

"A Zheng, you don't have to be so cautious. My retreat this time is not life-threatening, and I have made various preparations in advance to prevent accidents. I think I can pass it smoothly. Besides, have you forgotten my unique art of dunjia?" ? I will set up a formation outside the place of retreat, plus the snake formation and poison, it will be absolutely safe."

These words made Ouyang Feng's eyes light up, he thought to himself, when his sister-in-law had no martial arts skills, she could protect herself with her poisonous skills, but now she has added various skills, how can she be so vulnerable?Big brother is completely unfounded.

But Ouyang Zheng's attitude was very firm, he shook his head with a smile, expressing that he had made up his mind.

Pei Xiang frowned, thinking about how to persuade him.

On the contrary, Ouyang Feng was more discerning at this time, knowing that once Ouyang Zheng made a decision, he would not change it easily.What's more, Pei Xiang's safety is involved in this time's stay, so his elder brother can't change his mind.

Seeing the couple standing and sitting, Ouyang Feng sighed in his heart.

Not only did he feel that Wang Chongyang was not good at handling things, and the time he had chosen for the competition was not good, but he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.

——The plan to improve the reputation of Baituoshan martial arts and seize the "Nine Yin Manual" was all undertaken by me. This task is indeed extremely difficult.

At this time, there was a burst of cheerful running and jumping not far away, as well as the anxious shouts of the maids and the triumphant laughter of the children.

Ouyang Feng listened for a while with a sullen face, and vaguely understood that it was his son who skipped class again, and that child was jumping up and down with the light skills he had just learned, playing "hide and seek" with the maid who took care of him.

Thinking of his naughty and delicate son, Ouyang Feng sighed deeply again.He got up and left the room, preparing to teach the brat who played truant himself.

When there were only two people left, Pei Xiang went to Ouyang Zheng's side and tried his best to persuade him to participate in Huashan Sword Discussion, and even gave the excuse that he hoped that his husband would be number one in the world.

But how could Ouyang Zheng be fooled by such rhetoric, he enjoyed his wife's soft words and soft words for a while, and then said slowly before Pei Xiang lost his temper with a cold face:

"Xiang'er, this retreat breakthrough should be the last stage of your body training, right? If you can pass it perfectly, you will no longer have to endure the pain caused by the power of medicine and toxins, and you will be able to display your true strength more calmly." Strength. It took you almost 15 years to get to where you are now, the most critical step, and I don’t want you to have any mistakes.”

Pei Xiang also knows that this breakthrough is very important, and it is only one step away from success.But she has also made a lot of preparations for this. The five-element array, poison technique, snake driving and insect repelling, plus the guards of White Camel Mountain, are superimposed layer upon layer. It is already a very strict means of protection. The possibility of being attacked is extremely small.

"A Zheng, if you give up going to Huashan for me, I will feel guilty and burdened. I know that you want the "Nine Yin Manual", and you also want to show your martial arts to become famous and to truly dispel the haze and regret in your heart. If you insist If I stay and don’t go to Mount Hua, I’m worried that I’ll get stuck and won’t be able to concentrate on breaking through.”

Ouyang Zheng held his wife in his arms, surrounded her to prevent her from leaving easily, and then asked casually:

"Xiang'er, tell me, do I really need to fight for the "Nine Yin Manual"?"

Feeling the imprisoning force of the arms around his waist, Pei Xiang blinked slightly.

"Why do you ask such a strange question? "Nine Yin Manual" is the supreme martial arts secret book of Taoism, so it is certainly worth the effort."

Ouyang Zheng chuckled, the breath on his body was warm, and his chest was also firm and warm, but Pei Xiang felt an inexplicable coolness.

"Xiang'er, tell me, am I a bit stupid? It's clearly a treasure right in front of me, but I turn a blind eye to it and spend all my time looking for it."

Pei Xiang lowered his eyes and said nothing, just poked Ouyang Zheng's arm quietly.

"Xiang'er, tell me, the Taoist exercises I've practiced these years are so mysterious and profound, it's no exaggeration to say that they have benefited me for life. But such a rare martial arts secret book doesn't even have a decent name, isn't it a bit strange?" Is it unreasonable? Also, I recently helped you sort out the collection of books in the Zheng family, and I suddenly made a very unexpected discovery. It turns out that Senior Huang Chang is a good friend of the old imperial doctor Zheng, and the friendship between the two seems to be very deep."

"You have so many doubts, Ah Zheng, what else do you want to ask?"

"I also want to ask, you always whisper in my ear the principle of yin and yang mutual assistance, consciously or unintentionally reminding me to beware of the evils of Taoism's emphasis on yin and softness when cultivating internal strength. You also said that Taoism has clouds, heaven and earth are divided, and yin and yang are different. Column, nine cathodes are full of disasters, and cathodes are at six, why do you say nine..." (Note [-])

Hearing this, Pei Xiang didn't want to leave Ouyang Zheng's embrace anymore, she simply leaned on Ouyang Zheng's body, snorted lazily and said:

"Okay, let me say what I say. Ah Zheng, I have a more mysterious general outline of martial arts here, do you want to listen to it?"

"General outline? I would like to hear the details." Ouyang Zheng paused for breath, and then replied in a hoarse voice.

Pei Xiang cleared his throat, and began to recite the general outline of "Nine Yin Scriptures" word by word. The text is not long, but it contains the truth.

After Pei Xiang finished reciting, the room was silent for a moment.

Ouyang Zheng hugged his wife and closed his eyes to think about the scriptures he had just heard, chewing repeatedly, his mouth gradually opened.As time passed, Ouyang Zheng's aura seemed to become chaotic, and then gradually calmed down, returning to peace and transparency again.

"Xiang'er, which senior wrote this general outline?" The answer in Ouyang Zheng's mind was ready to come out.

"That's it," Pei Xiang frowned, "I'd like to tell you the answer, but you can't treat your virtuous and gentle lovely wife in a weird way like just now. Not only that, I can tell you more things, but, How much I say depends on my mood.”

Ouyang Zheng smiled, and there was no need to ask some answers.

He hugged the Wenxiang Nuanyu in his arms and flew straight out of the hall.

"Xiang'er, don't worry, let's talk slowly..."

Two days later, Ouyang Feng went to Mount Hua alone, while Ouyang Zheng stayed behind to guard Pei Xiang who broke through the retreat.

Later, after Pei Xiang broke through the seventh stage of body forging and left the customs safely, he heard the result of Huashan's sword debate.

The Five Wonders of the World have already been selected, namely "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi, "Xidu" Ouyang Feng, "Northern Beggar" Hong Qi, "Southern Emperor" Duan Zhixing, and the world's number one "Middle God" Wang Chongyang.

For a moment, the eyes of the whole world were on Wu Jue.

Today, after Pei Xiang and Ouyang Zheng had a hand-to-hand conversation, they inadvertently asked:

"A Zheng, Ke'er has been talking about his father these days, will the second brother return in the near future?"

Ouyang Zheng smiled slightly:

"Second brother...he wrote to complain that the eldest brother and sister-in-law in the family are too greedy for comfort and love for children, and the youngest son has not yet grown up, so he is the only one who can take on some heavy responsibilities. Therefore, he is going to the Quanzhen sect for a visit, planning to As soon as Wang Chongyang dies, we will seize the "Nine Yin Scriptures."

Pei Xiang picked out the white pieces from the chessboard, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"My husband hasn't told my second brother the truth yet?"

"It's very important," Ouyang Zheng said with a smile while recalling the chess game just now, holding up his teacup, "it's inappropriate to mention the "Nine Yin Manual" in the letter. Let's talk about it when the second brother knows he's home. "

"Alright. Another game?"

"Okay, ma'am, please be merciful."
