The more Ye Pei returned to the house, the more angry he became, and walked to the stream with two clothes and beat them.

On the one hand, she hated that she was not good at learning, and on the other hand, she hated that her master had not taught her such complicated kung fu.

Ye Pei hit the thin cool shirt with a mallet fiercely, and it was about to break.

"Who's going to be angry with a shirt?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from not far away.

Ye Pei was startled, stood up and looked.

"Little girl, are you angry with your parents and sisters? Coming here to relieve your gas? Hahaha," the's mother-in-law said with a smile.

"No, sister-in-law, I was just here to wash clothes and was seen by you." Ye Pei said with a smile.

"Yes!" The other party pretended to believe it and continued: "Whose female doll are you, I looked at it until I saw it. ”

"My name is Ye Pei, and I'm from Qifeng Mountain. Borrowed to live in the Sanqing Temple. ”

"Oh, you're Mr. Bashan's apprentice!"

"Sister-in-law, do you also know my master?"

"Well, they didn't mention me to you? I'm Zhonghe, the shopping aunt here. ”

Ye Pei was happy when he heard Zhong He's name, "It turns out that you are Aunt Zhong!" When I leave, I can ask you for help! ”

"Well, Anchang! That bad old man is still alive and tough? ”

"An Chang? He's good! And it's not old. ”

"Haha!" Zhong He's face turned slightly ruddy after hearing Ye Pei's words, and he continued: "I'm going to Hengqu Town tomorrow to buy paper and ink, do you want me to help you bring back something?" ”

Ye Pei thought for a while and said slowly: "I don't need to bring anything back, I just hope you take me away!" As he spoke, he raised his mouth again.

Zhong He saw Ye Pei's expression and comforted: "I also said that I was not angry!" Look at you, this little girl, can't hide her temper. ”

"I just miss my master, I've lived here for three months, and he won't come to see me or take me back!" Ye Pei said even more aggrieved.

"It turned out to be for this! Tomorrow I will go to your master and tell him that you are angry here! Zhong He said generously.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Ye Pei said urgently.

Zhong He was puzzled, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

"I'm afraid my master will worry about me." Ye Peinuo said.

"Haha, then let him come to see you, or let your senior brother take you back."

"Well, that's good." Ye Pei said happily, "Why don't I write a letter and bring it to my master?" ”

"Yes, too!"

"Thank you!"

Ye Pei wrung out his clothes, quickly ran back to the guest room, and wrote a text message, probably saying that he was fine, missed Master Yunyun, and hoped that Master would take him back as soon as possible. After writing it, I took it to Zhonghe with great interest, and I felt that I finally had hope.

One day, two days, three days, another month passed in the blink of an eye. It's good if there is no hope, but when there is hope, I feel that life is even more difficult. The more Ye Pei waited, the more discouraged she felt, she seemed to be an outcast, no one cared about her anymore, and no one took her back.

On this day, Ye Pei was practicing in his yard, and the trail chief who swept the floor came to tell her that the Shenshan Dao chief asked her to come over. Ye Pei didn't know what was going on, tidied up his clothes, and followed the Taoist to the sacred mountain.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ye Pei's eyes lit up, and he ran over excitedly and shouted, "Ye Pei sees Master and Senior Brother!" As he spoke, he blessed Bashan.

Lou Zijin smiled at Ye Pei, and Ye Pei ran to him and grimaced.

I only heard the Taoist chief of Shenshan say: "Mr. Bashan has not been to the humble house for ten years, and he finally saw you today for the sake of his beloved disciples." ”

Bashan said slowly: "Thank you Shenshan Daoist for taking care of the inferior disciples, I will take her back tomorrow!" ”

Hearing that the master said that he would take himself back, Ye Pei didn't know how happy he was, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the Divine Mountain Dao Master, so he had to try his best to suppress it.

At this moment, Ding Yuehua walked in with a smile as bright as spring.

"Master, I heard that there is a distinguished guest, Yuehua came to pay a visit!" Ding Yuehua walked up to Bashan and said to him, "Ding Yuehua, a disciple of Shenshan, meets Mr. Bashan and Senior Brother Lou!" ”

Bashan said: "Miss Ding doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”

Ding Yuehua got up and stood behind the Divine Mountain Daoist and smiled at Lou Zijin.

Ye Pei didn't care, but she turned her head and saw Lou Zijin's expression, she was really angry!

Lou Zijin looked at Ding Yuehua directly, his face was like a goose, and his eyes were empty!

Ye Pei secretly poked him with his fingers, but he didn't react, Ye Pei called softly again, "Senior brother!" Lou Zijin still did not respond. Ye Pei gritted his teeth and was angry, and it was not easy to attack in front of Master and Shenshan.

The Taoist of Shenshan exchanged a few words with Mr. Bashan, and then ordered his disciple Ding Yuehua to take them to the guest room to rest, and Lou Zijin followed closely behind Ding Yuehua.

When Ye Pei got out of the yard, kicked up the stones on the ground, and hit Lou Zijin on the shoulder, Lou Zijin said "oops", turned around and asked Ye Pei, "Senior sister, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Pei pouted: "It's okay!" Then he walked forward with his head held high.

Lou Zijin smirked and continued to follow.

After settling in the guest room, Lou Zijin seemed to be back to normal, took Ye Pei's hand and asked, "Senior sister, are you still comfortable living here?" Do you want to miss me and Master? ”

Ye Pei withdrew his hand and said angrily: "It's a good place, I'm about to forget you!" ”

Lou Zijin was not angry, and said with a smile: "You must be angry why we didn't come to pick you up for so long, but secretly tell you, you can see when you go back, there are good things for you!" ”

"Hmph, I don't want it!" Ye Pei turned his head angrily and left.

Seeing that Ye Pei was really angry, Lou Zijin shook his head and smiled to himself: "It seems that he is really angry!" ”

At night, Lou Zijin walked all day and went to bed early, and Ye Pei couldn't sleep and sat on the roof alone to watch the stars. She seems to have a lot of grievances, but she can't tell what it is, she looks forward to the master and brother coming to pick her up, but they come and make her disappointed.

It was already late at night, and only the oil lamp in front of Master Cihang in the main hall was still faintly lit. Except for the dying cicadas in autumn, they are still chirping hard, and there is no sound everywhere. Ye Pei felt a little cold, so he ran on the roof to warm himself up.

Ye Pei, who didn't argue at night, saw that a courtyard was still lit, and the two people in the courtyard sat lonely on both sides of the stone table, as if they were stone statues and didn't speak. Ye Pei was curious, and when he got closer and looked closer, he was surprised that it turned out to be the master and the Taoist of the Divine Mountain.

I saw that Shenshan was silent for a while and finally said: "The moonlight in Bianliang City is not as bright as this mountain. ”

"Yes! People have done many wrong things, and now when you think about it in the silent mountains, it becomes as clear as the moonlight. ”

"You still can't let her go after all?"

"If I can't let go, I have to let go, I just want to let go of myself!"

"People live for a hundred years and pass away in a blink of an eye, and in the end they are all empty!"

……

Another wave of loneliness.

……

An idea jumped into Ye Pei's mind: Although this Shenshan Daoist is more than half a hundred years old, he still has a good appearance, and he was a beauty when he was young, and it would be good if she became my teacher. But I turned my head and thought, I don't want Ding Yuehua to be my senior sister, that's terrible! Ye Pei hurriedly stopped his thoughts.

……

"It's late at night, let's go back!"

"I don't know when we'll see each other again."

"As you said, if we hadn't met at the beginning, we wouldn't have had so much pain later, so do you know whether it is good to see or not to see?"

"All causes have their own laws! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

……

Michizan stood up and paced.

I only heard Bashan say to Ye Pei on the roof: "Come down!" ”

Ye Pei jumped down lightly and said, "It turns out that Master has already heard that I am coming?" ”

"Hmm." Bashan nodded.

Ye Pei's grievances suddenly came to his heart, and he threw himself into his master's arms and said coquettishly: "Master, why did you come to pick me up for so long?" Ye Pei's tears unconsciously flowed down again, "Master, do you know that I lost the martial arts competition with Ding Yuehua, does the master have any martial arts secrets that he didn't teach me?" I won't embarrass you that way! ”

Bashan pulled Ye Pei's shoulder, looked at her tearful and aggrieved little face, wiped it with his hand, and said with a smile: "When will little Ye Pei grow up!" Then he asked: "Do you think Ding Yuehua's Mianrou Sword is a martial arts cheat?" ”

Ye Pei sat up straight and said, "Exactly!" There is also the Nine Heavens Xuannu Sword! It's really a novelty, complicated and peculiar! ”

Bashan said slowly: "How many moves have you made? ”

"Seventy or eighty moves."

"Do you know why you lost?"

"Because she is fast and has novel tricks, I have never seen it before." Ye Pei said with certainty.

"No, it's because you were cowardly before the competition, because she is faster than you, and you are already afraid of tricks that you have never seen. From the moment you are cowardly, you are doomed to lose. ”

"Huh?" Ye Pei looked at Master suspiciously.

"There are countless martial arts in the world that you have not seen, and you feel that they are extremely novel, and there are people who are faster than you, stronger than you, and have more people than you, or put out formations, or use hidden weapons, you will feel that you can't deal with them. But Ye Pei, you have to remember that no matter what situation you encounter in the future, you should not be cowardly. Every kind of martial arts has its advantages and disadvantages, fast speed is weak, strong punch is difficult to return, as long as we carefully observe the enemy's moves, dozens of moves after will be able to find his shortcomings and weaknesses. Then avoid it strongly, attack it too late, and you will be invincible! ”

Ye Pei nodded in thought.

"And you don't have to be overwhelmed by its complexity, you have to have your own rhythm, so that you don't change everything, and don't be led by the nose. Many martial arts masters only practice a few simple moves of kung fu in their lives, and it is just as powerful as it is to the extreme. There are only eighteen moves in the eighteen palms of the beggar gang, and there are only eighteen hands in the Arhat boxing of the Shaolin Temple. ”

Ye Pei blinked at his master, thinking about what he had just said.

"Furthermore, don't be superstitious about martial arts, no one can dominate the martial arts by getting a cheats, only the word 'hard work' in the world is martial arts! There is no shortcut to things in the world, only the word 'diligence' is the right way! ”

Bashan paused for a moment and continued: "I am reminded of a story that once upon a time there was a general who was good at archery, and he was unparalleled in the world. One day, he practiced archery in his nursery, and he hit every shot. Outside the railing came an old man with a burden, who stopped and looked at him with a smile. He invited the old man into the garden and asked him, 'Does the old man also shoot arrows?' The old man shook his head and said, "No." But I know that this archery is the same as selling oil, and I am just familiar with it. So saying, the old man took out a gourd and put it on the ground, put a copper coin at the mouth of the bottle, and scooped the oil into it with an oil spoon, and the speed was very fast, but there was not a drop of oil on the copper coin. The general nodded in admiration! ”

When Ye Pei heard this, he smiled and said, "The disciple understands, it's just familiar!" Whether it is archery, oil or martial arts, if you want to practice superbly, you must study hard and work hard, and you will be able to be stronger than others! ”

Seeing that Ye Pei understood everything, Bashan smiled knowingly and said, "Go back to sleep, it's late, let's go back tomorrow." ”

Ye Pei nodded.

The next morning, Bashan led Lou Zijin and Ye Pei to bid farewell to their masters.

Before leaving, Ye Pei said: "I have been bothering in the Shenshan Road for many days, and I don't know when I will see you again after I go today, and I also bother to ask Sister Ding to teach me a few more tricks, I will go back to study it intently, hoping to be able to look forward to it in a few years." ”

Shenshan acquiesced, Ding Yuehua was arrogant, got up and stood in front of Ye Pei, and said, "I don't dare to talk about advice, it's still okay to learn from each other." It just so happens that the two masters are here today, let's two sisters try it out, and the point is up to now, so as not to hurt the harmony, we might as well ask our respective masters for some advice. ”

Ye Pei said: "That's exactly what it means! Let's not use weapons, just fists and feet, okay? ”

Ding Yuehua said: "Very good! Sister Ye first, please! ”

"I'm ugly to say that!"

Ye Pei considered Ding Yuehua's tricks last night to be fast as the key to victory, she wanted to avoid competing with her speed, and she couldn't be pulled by her, so she wanted to use the basic exercises of the Five Elements Bagua to break it.

Five lines of fist, simulation: lion, snake, harrier, bear, monkey, five animals; Bagua is the palm, pay attention to: Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, four elephant gossip. Fist, palm, footwork, each 12 styles, but the shape is like a swimming dragon, as an ape guard, sitting like a tiger, turning like an eagle pan, can be transformed into energy, the combination of virtual and real, infinite changes.

Ye Pei thought of its most important point: sticking! To stick to Ding Yuehua's moves, follow the trend, attack his back, vent his strength, slow down his speed, not impatient, and wait for the opportunity!

Ye Pei came to Ding Yuehua with a sliding step, pushed out with both palms, Ding Yuehua flashed his palms with a move of "phoenix wearing peony", hooked Ye Pei's left shoulder, Ye Pei pushed his palm with his shoulder, and adhered to Ding Yuehua's wrist strength. Ding Yuehua turned his palm with his backfist and hit back at Ye Pei's face, Ye Pei made a move of "Dragon and Snake Dance", followed Ding Yuehua's palm momentum and adhered down, turned a gossip and returned to the original point.

Ding Yuehua was stuck to Ye Pei, she moved forward, Ye Pei also took advantage of the trend, she retreated, and Ye Pei also followed. Her power is like hitting the air, there is no block, and her power is invisible. She accelerated, her body as if she was glued to the board, and there was always a burden. Ding Yuehua felt that his skills could not be used, and after forty or fifty moves, he gradually became in a hurry. The more unsettled she is in her heart, the more hesitant she is in the moves in her hand, and she always can't make the tricks in place or can't change the tricks when she is old.

Ye Pei used listening, seeing, and feeling, almost every hair was attentively experiencing the opponent's moves, slowly turning retreat into advance, and turning defense into offense.

After a hundred moves, Ding Yuehua's physical strength was exhausted, his body became less and less flexible, and his speed decreased significantly, coupled with the fact that he was stuck by Ye Pei and had no respite, he became more and more passive.

Ye Pei made an "eagle strike in the sky", bypassed Ding Yuehua's wrist, and hit Ding Yuehua's face door with a hook hand, Ding Yuehua returned his elbow to block the shelf, Ye Pei immediately pulled Ding Yuehua's upper arm, and a "yin and yang turn" under his feet turned behind Ding Yuehua, and the "Great Sage Picking Peaches" wore Ding Yuehua's armpit. Ding Yuehua was about to jump forward, but Ye Pei buckled Yuehua's ankle, forced her body to sink, and then immediately rammed her back. Ding Yuehua couldn't jump, she didn't have time to jump again, so she had to bend her knees, Ye Pei reached out and picked off Ding Yuehua's headscarf, and her long black hair suddenly fluttered like water.

Ye Pei's three "Qiankun steps" stepped back behind Bashan, and said to Ding Yuehua with a fist: "Sister Ding's hair is so beautiful, it is really as smooth as satin!" It's really a good martial arts, and the people are also beautiful! ”

Ding Yuehua stood in place, stared at Ye Pei with angry eyes and said, "You ......"

The Divine Mountain Daoist shouted: "Yuehua, the victory and defeat have been divided, and it is useless to talk more!" ”

Ding Yuehua was ashamed and annoyed, returned to the master, pulled up her hair and tied it gently.

Bashan said to the Shenshan Daoist: "The little apprentice is naughty, please don't mind the Shenshan Daoist and Miss Ding!" Then he turned to Ye Pei and reprimanded: "Don't you apologize to Miss Ding?" ”

Although Ye Pei was still very happy when he heard the master say this, he blessed Ding Yuehua with a blessing and said, "Sister Ding, you forgive my sister this time!" ”

Ye Pei glanced at his master and senior brother proudly, and Lou Zijin turned blushing, thoughtful, and slightly lost. Ye Pei's heart sank, it turned out that her senior brother was not so worried about her winning or losing, and that look was something he had never shown to her. Ye Pei suddenly realized one thing: it turns out that the love between men and women and the love between brothers and sisters are completely different!

Thinking of this, Ye Pei's pride in winning the competition immediately disappeared without a trace, she was even more discouraged than the last time she lost the competition, and she felt like she was defeated!
