The rivers and lakes are full of vests

The sun was setting and it was time for dinner. Smoke was rising from each house, willows were swaying in the air, and the sunset glowed on every field and village, forming a peaceful and leisurely rural scene.

Fu Peibai and her little friends in the village came back from fishing. She carried a basket of trophies, overjoyed, and walked on the path home humming a little song her mother had taught her.

When she walked back to her small courtyard, she saw her mother rolling up her sleeves and waving a spatula to stir-fry vegetables, her father dancing with a sword, and her younger brother clapping and applauding, smiling happily.

Soon, father, mother and younger brother saw her coming back, turned around and looked at her together, with warm smiles on their faces.

"Ape."

"Ape."

"Sister!"

Fu Peibai also responded with a smile, put down the fish basket, and wanted to go to her family, but in an instant, the smiles of the three people who were smiling just now froze, and a thin line of blood appeared in their throats, and the blood spurted out instantly, and they fell on the ground. land.

Fu Jiaxu was the closest to Fu Peibai. After his small body fell to the ground, he stretched out an arm to Fu Peibai, with a painful expression on his face, and his small mouth mumbled, "Ah, sister, sister..."

Fu Peibai's feet couldn't move as if they were filled with lead. She felt that her heart was being torn apart, but she could only cry and scream helplessly.

"Father! Mother! Praise!"

Nightmare, endless nightmare...

Fu Peibai woke up with a start, her heart was beating like thunder, and the herbal medicine room was pitch black. She touched her face, her hands were moist.

She stared blankly at the void, panting heavily, and calmed down after a while, and found that there seemed to be a warm current in her chest, and raised her hand to touch an oval jade pendant, the jade pendant was actually hotter than the palm of her hand at this moment.

She brought the jade pendant closer, held it in front of her eyes to measure it, fluttered her nose, and smelled a certain fragrance, then moved closer, sniffed lightly, and a faint fragrance came from the tip of her nose. It took a while to remember that she also smelled this smell when the woman in white pulled her out of the cellar.

This kind of fragrance is very light, and it is different from all the fragrances that Fu Peibai has smelled before. It is not a flower fragrance, nor is it a herbal medicine smell, but a shallow, pleasant smell.

She sniffed lightly twice, put the jade pendant back into her bosom, and when she closed her eyes again, although she still couldn't sleep well, she didn't have any more nightmares at last, and just fell into a light sleep to welcome the sun of the next day.

This sleep lasted until mid-sun. After waking up, she guessed the time and got up quickly. It is not in accordance with etiquette to sleep so late in someone else's house. Who would have thought that when she came out of the herb house, she saw the old man Wen was on the grass in the main house. She was sleeping soundly at the banquet, snoring loudly, and she was inconvenient to disturb her.

Although her whole body was sore, her spirit was much better than yesterday. She looked around and found that there was nothing to eat in the yard, so she fetched water from the well to wash her face and then went to the street. After buying a few white flour steamed buns, when I returned to the small courtyard, I heard that the old man had already woken up and was standing in the courtyard stretching his waist.

Hearing the movement, the old man turned his head and saw Fu Peibai after washing his face. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Fu is quite a natural born, but her face is a little tanned."

Fu Peibai pursed his lips and did not answer, and handed the steamed buns to old man Wen.

Old man Fu and Mrs. Fu's appearance are both extremely outstanding. Old man Fu was handsome with sword eyebrows and starry eyes when he was young, while Mrs. Fu was gentle and gentle, like a Jiangnan woman.

However, there are two siblings in the Fu family. The elder sister followed the father's appearance, with more masculine features, while the younger brother followed the mother's appearance, with delicate and delicate eyebrows and eyes.

The old man Wen saw that Fu Peibai didn't want to talk about this, so he stopped talking, took the steamed buns and ate them. After eating, he dug well water and asked, "What is Miss Fu's plan next? Is it to take root in Xingxing?" Are you in Yangcheng or are you going to settle in another town?"

Fu Peibai put down the water bowl, and replied seriously: "I'm just staying in Xingyang City temporarily. In June, I'm going to Jinyun Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River to participate in the Tianji Sect entrance competition. During this time, I will disturb Uncle Wen."

"You're welcome, you're welcome to live here, but...how can you participate in the Tianji Sect's entry competition as a woman?"

Fu Peibai looked puzzled, what's wrong with being a woman?

"The Tianji Sect only recruits male disciples, don't you know?"

Fu Peibai shook his head, thinking of the two women, one black and one white, "But, I have seen people from the Tianji Sect, and there are women among them."

The old man thought for a moment before he said: "You are talking about the peak master of Chaoquan Peak and her personal maid, do you know who they are?"

Fu Peibai shook his head again.

"The master of Quanfeng in this dynasty is called Lu Yanran. She is the daughter of Lu Wencheng, the lord of the Tianji Sect. She has excellent bones and martial arts since she was a child. Although she is a woman, she is better than a man. That's why she made an exception and cultivated her into Sifengfeng. One of the masters."

Fu Peibai didn't care what the old man said, she just wanted to learn martial arts, "Then I'll pretend to be a man and go to the competition."

The old man Wen shook his head, "No, no, if it is found out, it will be a serious crime. If it is light, it will be kicked out of the mountain gate, and if it is serious, it will lose its muscles and bones. You will never learn martial arts for the rest of your life."

"I see, if you want to learn martial arts, you don't have to be attached to this Tianji sect. Although it is the largest sect in the world, everyone flocks to it, but the competition is naturally much crueler. There are many martial arts sects in the world, and they are willing to accept female disciples." There are not a few of them, you can pick another one.”

Fu Peibai's expression was gloomy, and she couldn't see what she was thinking. Hearing the old man's advice, she suddenly thought of that day in the stable, the woman in white looked down on her like a fairy, her pretty face was calm and her voice was clear, light and melodious. , but the words he said were ruthless. When she thought she was desperate and had no chance, the man threw another jade pendant to her, giving her hope again. Thinking of this, she raised her head with extremely firm eyes, "I want Go to Tianjizong."

The old man was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "You girl, why are you so stubborn."

"Tell me about you, it's fine for my daughter to learn martial arts by herself. In this turbulent time, it's good to learn some kung fu to save her life, but why do you want to take the risk and go to the Jizong of the day? There are three rounds of competitions in the Tianjizong. The participants are already very skilled, but you don’t have any background, and it’s not enough to learn some kung fu with the feet of a shrimp and a cat. Even if you pass the entrance test, you have to hide your identity every day with fear, and then come to each stage. There is also the martial arts examination, if you fail to pass, you will still be kicked out of the mountain, so why bother?" After hearing the old man's series of words, he quickly drank a big mouthful of water and gasped, feeling that his words were convincing and well-meaning, and they should be able to persuade This girl is gone.

Unexpectedly, Fu Peibai still said with a determined expression: "I must go to Tianjizong."

The old man Wen helplessly supported his forehead.

Fu Peibai got up, rummaged through the firewood pile in the corner, found a slender dead tree branch, stood in the yard, closed her eyes and exhaled, recalling the formulas her father taught her to practice martial arts when she was young.

The center of gravity shifts, the legs stand still, the breath sinks into the dantian, the sword comes out but the body does not move, moves with the trend, the body moves without being scattered...

The old man Wen watched silently at the tall and thin girl in the yard waving dry branches tirelessly, with a serious and focused expression, he was shaken, and after a long time, he sighed quietly: "Miss Fu, since you insist on going to Tianji Zong, this old man won’t persuade you anymore, this old man can help you pretend to be a man so that you won’t be easily discovered.”

Fu Peibai's movements paused, and she walked over in two or three steps, her eyes full of anticipation, "Wen Bo, what should I do?"

The old man Wen looked her up and down carefully, and said: "You already look like a man, so you don't need to dress up any more, but your voice will inevitably be suspected as you get older, and then it's you... . " As he spoke, Old Man Wen's eyes fell on Fu Peibai's slightly heaving chest.

"Wen Bo, but it's okay to say."

"Even as you get older, your breasts will naturally develop, and you need to hide them. Besides, women's menstruation is also a problem."

Fu Peibai looked worried, "Then, Uncle Wen, is there any way you can cover up these female features?"

"Yes, there is, but once you use it, you can't restore it. Are you sure you have thought it through? For a girl like you, how will you get married in the future?"

get married?Fu Peibai was stunned for a moment, she had never thought about this, her only purpose in living in this world is to kill her relatives, and her long-cherished wish is fulfilled, so she will find a secluded place to spend the rest of her life, marriage or something is not up to her under consideration.

So she shook her head, indicating that nothing happened.

The old man Wen sighed again, so he had to talk about the method: "I can make a blind medicine, after taking it, your voice will maintain the current indistinguishable timbre, and the breasts will stop developing, but just to be on the safe side , After pretending to be a man, you still have to wrap your chest cloth tightly. As for women’s menstruation, the medicine will stop in the month. Take one pack a day for the first month, and then you only need to take it once a month, which is enough for a full day. In [-], menstruation will stop completely, but your body will be damaged to some extent, so you can't learn the exercises of sexual heat, and it will clash with the cold air in your body, causing extreme suffering, remember it."

After the old man Wen finished speaking, he looked at Fu Peibai fixedly again, with a heavy tone, "The last point, once you make this choice, you will never be able to conceive your own children in your life. You have to think clearly."

Fu Peibai nodded without the slightest hesitation, "I've figured it out, Uncle Wen, I have no regrets in this life."

"Okay, okay, come in with me."

The two entered the house, the old man Wen took a pen and paper, wrote down a list of herbal medicine names, and handed it to Fu Peibai.

"You go to the Deji Hall in the city to recognize the names of the herbs on this list one by one. If you recognize them all, go to Zhangming Mountain, fifteen miles east of the city, to collect more of each."

After Fu Peibai took the order, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the old man Wen, "Hey, don't go today, it will take half a day for you to go back and forth, get up early tomorrow."

Fu Peibai looked at the sky, and it was true, so he put the medicine list into his arms, and went to the small courtyard to dance branches again.

The old man Wen leaned against the wall and watched her practice martial arts, while chatting nonchalantly, "I see that although your movements are unfamiliar, you are agile and have some foundation. Did you learn martial arts when you were young?"

Fu Peibai's movements slowed down, and he replied: "When I was eight years old, I learned from my father for a while, but later I slacked off and neglected to practice, so I put it aside."

"You have a good foundation, but you are actually a seedling of martial arts, but you have missed the best age to practice martial arts, but hard work can make up for your weakness. You are young and old, and you have a tenacious heart. I believe that you will learn something."

Fu Peibai stopped his movements, turned around and clasped his fists, his appearance was dignified, and he began to take on the aura of a quack.

"Thank you Wen Bo."
