Chapter 65 Confusion
He closed his eyes and slowly recalled all the past events he could remember, and then realized that among all the things, the thought that came to his mind most often was how great it would be if he could do it all over again.

He really came back to life in this life, and now, in this "reborn life", he got another chance to "start over" - if he could complete this body and become similar to Zhao Qi's state, wouldn't it be like a newborn baby with a smart mind who started practicing directly?

And if nothing unexpected happens... I am not restricted by the "youth and lifespan" thing, my time is almost unlimited.

This might be Zhao Kui's purpose. He probably didn't want to be a ghost fairy at first, but wanted to bypass the restriction of "youth life span" in this way. That would explain why he was so anxious - why waste time on something he was destined not to care about!

Li Wuxiang closed his chest, feeling that he had made up his mind.

Not many people can really start over like himself, and he will not be willing to do anything less than the best of his ability!

He jumped off the bed, sat on the table by the window, and took out three sheets of bamboo paper from his arms - these were the only three sheets Zhao Qi had with him. Then he laid out one sheet, mixed the cinnabar, and tried to write the word "heart" with a fine brush. But when the pen was about to fall, he changed his mind - he didn't need to write it, but draw it!

As for how to draw? A realistic heart? He thought of Zhao Qi's trapped character, the Kitchen God under the roof, and the scene in the courtyard when he set up the array yesterday. Zhao Qi seemed to use a very simple brush when drawing these, just pursuing a "meaning". He had seen Zhao Qi write, and the handwriting was very good. If a person in this world writes well, he should not be a bad painter...

He drew a heart shape and then laughed at himself.

Then, he opened his chest and carefully placed the talisman paper on the left side of his chest, but after thinking it over, he placed it on the right side - his white beard stretched out, wrapped the talisman paper and rolled it into a ball.

He stared at this thing, circulated his energy, and injected it into it through his white beard.

An inexplicable feeling of palpitations suddenly spread throughout his body, and Li Wuxiang couldn't help but take a deep breath like a living person... The talisman paper wrapped in white beard jumped up!

Really?!

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still surprised... How did the Ranshan School make the talisman paper? Why is it so weird! ?

He closed his chest carefully and looked at the remaining two pieces of talisman paper. That's right, the magic of Ranshan's talisman art is the paper, not the art. The problem is that there are only these two pieces left. Maybe he can make a lung or liver, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. The internal organs and meridians involved in the practice of the Zhenxianti Dao Pian are far more complex than those of the Ranshan School's Huailu Baoxia Pian or Guangchanzi. Without completing the internal organs of the whole body, it is impossible to practice.

So he kept the remaining two cards close to him for future use in case of emergency.

So the problem now is that he has to figure out what the Ranshan School's talisman paper is all about, and he has to get some more or learn how to refine it. Zhao Qi said that this paper was refined by Zhao Kui, and he also said that Ranshan's disciples had already scattered... Maybe there are other people who know it.

Li Wuxiang felt that the next five days were the most relaxing and happiest five days he had ever lived since he came into this world.

Zeng Jianqiu ate a lot every day, and his cheeks and body gradually became plump. Although he didn't become the strong man before, he was no longer frighteningly thin. After he rested, he went to Chen's house and persuaded Chen Xin to move Jinshui away in a few words, and then asked him to slowly persuade the people in the town.

In the remaining time, he would practice boxing and kicking, but he almost never meditated to nourish his qi. When he saw Xue Baoping had some free time, he taught her another simple method of refining qi, but this time he did not allow Li Wuxiang to listen. After teaching her a set of sword techniques and drawing all the sword moves for her on straw paper, he would go for a stroll on Bishan every day.

When he came back from the mountain on the fifth day, there was a jet-black bird on his arm. It looked like a crow, but with a red beak and a white tail, and its claws were faintly green, so it didn't look like a crow.

Li Wuxiang teased him: "Brother, are you planning to get a bird cage now?"

Zeng Jianqiu smiled and glanced into the yard - the two were standing by the river, and Xue Baoping was in the yard holding a wooden sword and thinking about the newly learned sword skills.

"I should go now. Shouldn't you go too?"

Li Wuxiang also looked into the yard and said, "When you recover, I will leave too. I want to go to Ranshan to see if I can find anything else, or if I can find Ranshan's former disciples. Zhao Qi said they went down the mountain, so I guess they won't be too far from Ranshan. If there is no other reason, a person will tend to stay near a familiar place."

Zeng Jianqiu nodded: "I think your little girl is reluctant to leave you. However, the mountain is more than a thousand miles away from here. If you leave like this, you don't know when you will see her again."

Li Wuxiang frowned and thought for a moment: "Is everything okay?"

More than a thousand miles may be far enough for ordinary people in this era - there is no map navigation, no convenient meals, no convenient accommodation, and no flat and safe roads. But for him, it is really difficult to connect the concept of "500 kilometers" with things like "high mountains and long rivers" and "once gone, forever away". He has cultivation and does not need much food and drink, so at most it will take a little more time.

Zeng Jianqiu chuckled, "Once you step into the martial arts world, you will know that you have no control over your own affairs."

Then he asked, "Where are you going after that?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Li Wuxiang was silent for a while, "I just want to look around...see what the situation is."

If he was just an ordinary person who had just come to this world, perhaps staying in Jinshui would be the best choice. He was already familiar with the place and had prestige. The town owner's family was not bad, and he had a beautiful girl as a companion. But Jinshui was too small, and the world was too big. What he wanted was not a stable and peaceful life, but the kind of free and happy life that he had never had in his previous life.

It is certainly not the case that you are “unrestrained” now, but if you stay somewhere for a long time, you will only have more and more ties.

Zeng Jianqiu nodded and said, "Drifter in the world, hey, I guess you must have had a miserable life in the past. It's good that way. If your temperament is left somewhere, I'm afraid it will unintentionally bring disaster to others."

He thought about it again, turned his wrist, and the shining small sword that looked like steel appeared in his palm: "You can take this. You can't practice the True Immortal Body Dao Pian in a short time, so you can't refine the sword. Use mine first."

"Ok?"

"I didn't teach you before because I didn't trust you. Now that you've learned it, do I still want to see you come and go empty-handed? If you are caught, harmed, or interrogated by someone, it will not only tarnish my reputation as the Taiyi Swordsman, but also spread the skills. Now the energy in my body is running out, and I can't make up for it. I'll give you this sword. Although you haven't joined the Taiyi sect, since you are the leader of Ranshan Sect and have learned the flying sword technique, we were from the same family thousands of years ago... I will just treat you as a swordsman. You will encounter swordsmen helping each other in the future."

Li Wuxiang hesitated for a moment and picked up the sword: "Okay, I'll keep it then."

Zeng Jianqiu stroked the feathers of the bird on his arm again: "Alas, I have rarely seen you and this little girl like this in recent years. Although we are even now, I still owe her a favor, and I don't want to see her crying after you leave. I will refine a bird for you."

For the next three days, Li Wuxiang practiced swordplay. The early stages of the Flying Sword Immortal Chapter required sword lines, and Li Wuxiang's sword lines were ready. He did not put the sword on his wrist, but hid it in his body. The golden coil was originally like a piece of clothing, with a split front, and Li Wuxiang's flying sword was wrapped in his chest with his white beard. When he used the sword, he did not need to flick his wrist like Zeng Jianqiu did - the small sword shot out from between his chest and abdomen, and then danced with his white beard, which was more concealed and flexible. However, even if he used the incense and vows in his body to urge his white beard again and again, one strand could only extend to a length of six feet at most, and it was not as sharp and tough as Zeng Jianqiu's sword line, so it was impossible for him to look like a flying sword that really killed people invisibly.

On the evening of the third day, Li Wuxiang was still practicing his flying sword in his room when he suddenly heard Xue Baoping in the yard shouting in surprise, and then calling him: "...Li Wuxiang, come out and see!"

He jumped out of bed and walked to the yard, and saw the red-billed crow that Zeng Jianqiu had kept in the house for the past three days, squatting on Xue Baoping's shoulder. Three days ago, the bird looked like a flat-haired animal, but now its eyes were very smart, almost following Xue Baoping's movements to look at people - when she looked at him, the bird also tilted its head slightly and stared at him, as if thinking seriously.

Xue Baoping was like a little girl who got a new toy. She was so excited that sweat broke out on the tip of her nose. She turned her head to the bird and said, "Hong Ge'er, give it to me!"

The bird tilted its head and pecked at its wing, picking up a black feather. Xue Baoping took it and said, "Hong Ge'er, I want more!"

The bird pecked another one. Xue Baoping said again: "Hong Ge'er, I want more!"

The bird pecked at one more, then squatted on her shoulder, opened its beak, spread its wings, and cackled. Xue Baoping quickly turned her head away and closed her eyes: "Okay, I don't want it anymore, I don't want it anymore!"

The bird finally settled down and sat on her shoulder without moving.

Xue Baoping looked at the three feathers in his hand, then looked at Zeng Jianqiu: "...Is that it?"

"Yes." Zeng Jianqiu nodded while holding the bowl, "Give it to him."

Xue Baoping handed the three feathers to Li Wuxiang. Li Wuxiang took them, and Zeng Jianqiu said, "This is the flying crow technique. It is not ready yet, so you can only use three feathers. After you leave, find a bird of similar size, insert these feathers on its wings, and after you release it, it will fly back to find this red-billed crow. When you are away from home, you will not lose contact. However, you will need a place to practice it in the future, which is not suitable for people like you and me who are wandering outside."

Xue Baoping touched the red-billed crow's head and said, "Come back and get it when you are free. I will take good care of it."

Li Wuxiang looked at Xue Baoping and saw that although there was a hint of reluctance and loss on her face, she was indeed relaxed and natural, completely different from when he saw her seven nights ago - he had been practicing these past few days on how to use the white beard in his body to make the small sword more tricky and sharp. He only knew that when Zeng Jianqiu was teaching Xue Baoping swordsmanship, the two of them had a pleasant conversation, but he didn't care what they were talking about.

At the moment, it was unclear how Zeng Jianqiu had managed to relieve her worries. He had been traveling around the world, so perhaps he was familiar with this kind of thing and was better at comforting people than himself.

But this gave Li Wuxiang a little warning in his heart - after losing his youth and lifespan, Zeng Jianqiu became too easy to talk to. If you look at the few new wrinkles on his face these days, when he was with Xue Baoping, they looked like grandfather and grandson.

He taught her the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter, the Flying Sword Transformation Chapter, gave her a flying sword, taught Xue Baoping a lot of things, and helped her refine the bird...

It's like he's making arrangements for his final affairs.

He sighed slightly in his heart. According to Zhao Qi, when a person's youth and life span are over, there are still a dozen or even dozens of years left to live. Zeng Jianqiu is now in such a situation because he suddenly fell into such a situation. It is hard for him to accept it for a while. Someone as carefree and heroic as him before would actually be like this. I don't know if he can slowly calm down in the future.

Having said that, in the evening, Li Wuxiang cleaned up the house with Xue Baoping while instructing her on other things. The people in Jinshui saw her send someone into a small place, and almost all of them thought that she was also a Taoist. Now Zeng Jianqiu has also taught her swordsmanship and Qi training. Regardless of the progress, it is at least a little more worthy of the name.

But he also wanted to teach her something a little more practical.

He watched Xue Baoping stuff his backpack full of things he brought for him, then sat down beside the bed and said, "I'll teach you a way to heal people."

Xue Baoping was stunned: "You can also treat illnesses?"

Li Wuxiang smiled and said, "Not all of them can be treated. But since everyone thinks you can perform magic, maybe someone will ask you to treat them in the future. Then you can do this - generally speaking, if someone complains about pain here or there, just ignore them and tell them to go see a regular doctor. When someone sees a regular doctor and they can't find any problems, but only say that they have long-term palpitations, weakness, lack of energy, and lack of spirit, then you can say that I have a prescription I taught you and you don't know if it's right for them, so you can try it."

"The prescription is sugar. You add more sugar and some cooked noodles, roll it into a thumb-sized ball, prescribe ten pills at a time, and tell them to go home and take two pills a day. After a few days, most people will say they feel slightly better. At this time, you can remind them to take care of their health, and that's it."

"……sugar?"

"Many people's illnesses are actually caused by hunger. If you do as I say, you won't delay the emergency treatment and people will also respect you." Li Wuxiang thought for a while, "You have to be careful. After I leave, don't get too close to others. Just associate with the Chen family and don't be too easy to talk to. The people of Jinshui have aged a lot after this, but you are still young. Sometimes, people will have bad intentions just because you are better than them, so you have to make people respect you."

Xue Baoping nodded: "Hero Zeng also told me the same thing."

The two sat quietly in the dim candlelight for a while, and Li Wuxiang said, "Jinshui will move out in a while, and you can live next to the Chen family. You have learned swordsmanship and mental skills, and you have treasures in your hands. The people in the town will not do anything to you. If you can do what I said, they will worship you. If a cultivator asks, you can say you are from Ranshan."

"Ah."

"The Chen family doesn't have to worry about food and drink. If they want to live longer, they have to use another method. I'm telling you now, but don't tell anyone else. At their age, the main health problems they have are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. Other problems are hygiene knowledge, bacteria, viruses and the like. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems are mainly about blood pressure and blood lipids, but that's actually another matter. Blood lipids are..."

After Li Wuxiang finished telling her all this, he realized that he was not as free and easy as he had imagined - he came to this world to experience many things he had never experienced before, but in these few days he found that the emotion he was experiencing now seemed to be something he had never experienced before.

He let out a sigh of relief. Xue Baoping was sitting next to him. When they were talking just now, because the oil lamp in this room was brought from Chen Jiaxin, he forgot to add oil in the past few days and extinguished it, but neither of them thought of lighting it again, and they just talked in the moonlight.

Li Wuxiang looked at Xue Baoping's profile and neck, and suddenly he couldn't help but raise his hands, put his arms around her waist, and then move his face closer.

He wanted to get close to her neck, thinking that it should be soft and warm, and smell sweet and fragrant. If such a young and lively body...

in case……

The next moment, Li Wuxiang suddenly turned his head and looked into the darkness at the head of the bed!
