"The old man's surname is also Pei?"

The old lady looked back at Li Ye and nodded approvingly, "You are very smart. When I mentioned Fenshui, you thought of the Wenxi Pei family."

"My mother said that her hometown is in Wenxi County, Jiangzhou, close to Fenshui River."

The old lady sighed and said, "It's not easy for her to survive all these years. I didn't help her, and I feel guilty!"

Li Ye didn't say anything. He intuitively felt that this old lady was related to his mother.

The old lady washed her hands, sat opposite Li Ye, and poured him a cup of tea, "The tea isn't hot anymore, but it doesn't matter, drink it!"

Li Ye took a sip of tea. He remembered that Suzaku reminded him not to talk too much, so he fell silent.

The old lady smiled with satisfaction, and the walnut lines on her face relaxed. She added, "Do you know Pei Xingyan?"

Li Ye nodded, Pei Xingyan was the famous general Pei Yuanqing of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"The Pei family's mind control method started with him. The name of the mind control method was changed by me. It was originally called the Zhuque Mind Method. It has been passed down from generation to generation and can be learned by both men and women. However, there are very few people who have succeeded. In the past fifty years, except for me, , only Pei Min has mastered it. I originally thought that this mental skill would be perfect, but I didn’t expect that you actually..."

Li Ye quickly said modestly: "The Pei family is full of talents, there will definitely be someone who can practice it."

The old lady waved her hand, "It's not that you can't practice it, it's just that no one in the Pei family can practice it anymore. There is no formula for this kind of mental method. It depends entirely on talent to understand. I have said it a long time ago. There is no inheritable martial arts. Sooner or later, you will master it. Lost.”

Li Ye was silent, it turned out that no one in the Pei family was practicing anymore.

The old lady sighed, "I have been in the palace for more than fifty years and have seen everything. Looking back now, the past is like smoke. I have long since ignored the grudges in the world, but there are still some things that make me uneasy."

After saying that, the old lady took out a large wooden box from the cloth bag next to her and handed it to Li Ye, "I came to you today because I actually wanted to give this to you."

"What is this?" Li Ye asked as he took the wooden box.

"This is the medicine you take every day. The formula is the same, but the quality of the medicine varies greatly because of the quality of the medicine. I used the best medicine in the world and it took me twenty years to prepare it. I originally wanted to bring it into the coffin, but I didn't expect it. .... There is cause and effect in the past and present lives. If you are destined to it, I will leave it to you!"

"What kind of prescription is this?" Li Ye found that there were several pieces of paper on the box, with more than a dozen plaster prescriptions written on them.

"That's for your mother. She's having a hard time in Chang'an. Hey! I should have helped her earlier."

Speaking of this, the old lady looked at Li Ye and said: "The cause of the past life is the result of the future life. Although some people can see into the future life, they cannot reverse the cause and effect. Remember! Remember!"

After saying that, the old lady sighed and walked away with the flower hoe.

Li Ye was pounding. There was something in this old lady's words. What did she know?

"What do you think of her?"

Li Ye turned around and was stunned. The person behind him turned out to be Pei Min.

"Uncle, why... why are you here?"

"This is my home, I've always lived here."

"Ah! The old lady just now was..."

"She is the one who taught me martial arts. What do you think of her?"

"I feel like she is a kind and kind old man!"

"Kind?"

Pei Min sneered and said, "Don't be fooled by the illusion in front of you in anything!"

Li Ye was a little confused, "Is this old woman really a fierce phoenix?"

Pei Min nodded, "You think she is kind, but how did you know that she is the most ruthless person in the world? Empress Wei, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping all died under her sword. There are not even a thousand people, but there are eight hundred."

"Who is she from the Pei family?"

"She is my great-aunt and your mother's great-aunt."

Li Ye was silent for a moment and said, "It has nothing to do with me that she is cruel to others, but I really feel the kindness of my elders."

"Maybe you're right!"

A trace of apology flashed in Pei Min's eyes, "After all, she is the elder of the Pei family, and she cares about the younger ones of the Pei family, especially since she raised me. I shouldn't criticize her like this."

"Uncle, can you tell me about your inner thoughts?"

Pei Min nodded and sat down on the stone bench next to him.

"Every family in the world has both civil and military skills, and the Pei family is no exception. During the period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were not only civil servants like Pei Ju and Pei Ji, but also famous father-son generals like Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Pei family's culture flourished and martial arts declined, leaving only The lineage of the descendants of Pei Xingyan is martial arts, and controlling the mind is the martial arts of ancestor Pei Xingyan."

"The old lady said its original name was Suzaku Heart Technique."

"Really? Even I don't know."

Pei Min was a little surprised and nodded, "Xuanwu is the mountain and Suzaku is the water. It's not bad to call it the Suzaku Mind Technique. Practice control... The key to practicing the Suzaku Mind Technique is not only talent, but also the support of special drugs. It's about fifty Years ago, when my grandfather's generation started practicing the Suzaku Heart Method, they found that all the medicines and prescriptions in stock had been destroyed, and the only person who knew how to refine medicines had died."

Speaking of this, Pei Min sighed, "Without medicine, you can't practice martial arts, so starting from my ancestors, the Suzaku Mental Technique has been perfect. Can you guess who did it?"

"Liefeng!" Li Ye blurted out.

"Yes! When the head of the family found out that she had mastered it, he realized that she had ruined the medicine and the prescription. In anger, the head of the family removed her name from the clan, and she has never returned to the Pei family since then."

"She told me that the children in the clan refused to learn martial arts, and that's why the Suzaku mentality was lost in the Pei family."

Pei Min sighed, "We broke up fifty years ago. Where can we learn? Of course, what she said makes sense. The Pei family's martial arts is not limited to the Suzaku Heart Technique. Like your mother, she has never practiced the Suzaku Heart Technique, but her martial arts The key is that all the children of the Pei family are fond of literature and hate martial arts. Except for your father's lineage and the Wenxi Pei family, there is no one who is a warrior."

"She taught my uncle the Suzaku Heart Technique?"

Pei Min nodded, "Back then, she destroyed the medicine and the prescription out of personal anger. Later she regretted it, so she went to Zhangye to find your grandfather and wanted to choose a descendant of the Pei family from his descendants, my father. When I died young, I was raised by your grandpa. She chose me when I was only ten years old. She took me to Chang'an. After I completed my studies, I also swore to her that I would never spread my knowledge to others."

"Then why did uncle pass it on to me?"

"It's not actually me!"

Pei Min smiled bitterly and said: "I feel very sorry for your mother, so I begged Liefeng to give me some medicine, but she always refused, so I can only change your constitution and teach you some medicine." You had some basic skills, but then you were injured and I begged her to save you. After she saved you, she changed her mind and agreed."

Li Ye was stunned, "I was saved by Lie Feng?"

"What do you think? Your mother went out to collect medicine and spent three days going back and forth. Without Lie Feng to save you, how could you have survived these three days?"

Li Ye vaguely thought of something. He suddenly remembered what Lie Feng said before leaving, 'Although some people can see into the future! ’

Li Ye suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his back. Lie Feng most likely discovered his secret.

He was confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Pei Min felt a little strange when he saw him looking so distracted.

Li Ye calmed down and asked: "Liefeng saved me and she agreed?"

Pei Min nodded, "I still can't figure out why. After she rescued you, she seemed to look at you differently and took the initiative to give me the medicine."

Li Ye felt relieved. He took out the wooden box from his arms and opened the lid. There were densely packed red pills inside.

"Can I take this medicine?"

Pei Min's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't believe it, "She...gave this to you?"

Li Ye nodded, and Pei Min sighed for a while: "She really looks at you differently!"
