The little Taoist priest motioned to Nangong Jie to wait a while, and then approached the wing room by himself, and said, "Elder Liu, the guest has been brought." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Come in."

After a while, I could only hear the voice of an old man in the wing.

After getting permission, the little Taoist priest turned around and nodded at Nangong Jie, then carefully pushed open the door of the wing, stretched out his hand to signal Nangong Jie to enter, and stood still at the door.

"Thank you." Nangong Jie whispered thanks to the little Taoist, and then stepped into the room.

The room is simply furnished, with only a bed, a table, and two chairs. At this time, an old Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on a futon beside him and meditating. Hearing someone come in, a pair of eyelids that had already been a little sleepy were slowly lifted, and in those eyes, they were cloudy, but they seemed to have seen all the vicissitudes of the world, and in that turbidity, there was a trace of clarity.

"Nangong Jie, meet Elder Liu."

Although he knew that the other party was just an elder on the surface of the cardinal's view, Nangong Jie still stood up politely, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

Elder Liu looked at Nangong Jie expressionlessly, and he didn't seem to be touched by the other party's politeness.

"You're here to find Nangong Ling'er?" Elder Liu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes, Nangong Ling'er is the boy's grandmother."

Nangong Jie replied respectfully.

"She's already gone, go back!" Elder Liu's voice was indifferent, and after speaking, he closed his eyelids again and stopped talking.

Hearing Elder Liu's answer, Nangong Jie was shocked, although he had already prepared in his heart, but when he heard it with his own ears at this time, he still couldn't accept it, you must know that the fate of the entire Nangong family is now tied to this grandmother who has never been masked, but she is dead......

"The kid thought of putting a stick of incense on his grandmother before the grave, and asked Elder Liu to fulfill it." Nangong Jie said a little unwillingly.

It didn't seem to expect Nangong Jie to say this, Elder Liu was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke.

"Xuan Mingzi, take him to the back mountain."

..........

Looking at the dense forests around him, Nangong Jie followed the little Taoist priest named Xuan Mingzi and walked on the narrow mountain road. The two walked for more than two hours before they walked out of the dense forest. What appeared in front of Nangong Jie was a platform, and the tombs on the platform were dense, and the little Taoist took Nangong Jie to a tomb and stopped.

Nangong Jie turned to look at the tomb in front of him, and saw six words engraved on the tombstone: Nangong Ling'er's tomb. Although there was already a result in his heart, seeing the tombstone with his own eyes, the trace of family affection in Nangong Jie's blood still came to mind, his eyes were hot, he knelt down with his legs, and respectfully kowtowed to the tombstone three times, and then put on three pillars of incense.

"Nangong Jie, the grandson of Nangong Ziya, meet Grandma."

A weak woman, alone, apprenticed to Cardinal, away from home for decades, but finally buried in this mountain. Although the affairs of the elders should not be discussed casually, Nangong Jie is still sad for this poor woman.

"Why do you worship her?"

At this moment, an elderly voice sounded from behind Nangong Jie. Nangong Jie hurriedly wiped his eyes and turned to look. Not far behind me, I saw an old woman dressed in gray linen, holding a broom, trembling and standing there. His white hair rose in the wind, and he seemed to be too old, and the skin on his face was wrinkled like the bark of a dead tree, and his cheeks drooped.

"She is an elder in my family, she has been away from home for many years, I came to visit this time, but I didn't expect it to have passed away." Although Nangong Jie was a little impatient with the old woman's inquiry, after all, this was a cardinal, so he simply answered honestly.

"Master Tianyun." Xuan Mingzi stood aside and respectfully bowed to the old woman.

Hearing the title of Xuan Mingzi, Nangong Jie shouted in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately he was quite polite just now, who would have known that such a bad old woman was so senior in the cardinal's view.

Hearing Xuan Mingzi's voice, the old woman nodded slightly, and refocused her gaze on Nangong Jie, looking up and down. Although he was a little impatient in his heart, Nangong Jie still endured it.

"You are looking for her all of a sudden, I don't think it will be a simple visit." The old woman's voice was flat, and she still looked at Nangong Jie.

Hearing the old woman's words, Nangong Jie's mind suddenly moved, this grandmother is dead, but if she had made a wide range of friends in this cardinal during her lifetime and had a good popularity, wouldn't there be a glimmer of hope for her to come this time? Thinking of this, Nangong Jie looked at the old woman's eyes, and suddenly became a little more respectful.

"Don't hide it from the seniors, the family of the kid and the grandmother still has some status in the Tang and Han Kingdoms, but not long ago, they ......." Then, Nangong Jie beat him upside down, saying that the Fang family was heinous and ambitious, and put the Nangong family on the aggrieved side, and then added fuel and vinegar, saying that now the other families saw that the Nangong family was losing and retreating, and took advantage of the fire to rob, putting the Nangong family into an extremely dangerous situation.

"Got it, let's go."

To Nangong Jie's surprise, the old woman did not make any promises to him on the spot, but after listening to him, she gave an order to expel the guest.

"I ......" Nangong Jie wanted to say something, but seeing that the old woman turned around and left, she didn't care about him anymore, so she closed her mouth and followed Xuan Mingzi down the mountain.

After Nangong Jie left, the old woman returned to the grave and stood in front of Nangong Ling'er's tomb, bowing her head and saying nothing.

"Senior Uncle Tianyun, why don't you recognize him?" Elder Liu didn't know when he came here, so he stood respectfully behind the old woman and asked in a low voice.

It turned out that this old woman with the name Tianyun was Nangong Jie's grandmother, that is, Nangong Ling'er, the owner of this tomb.

"I have been in hiding from the world for many years, and I am no longer an earthly person, otherwise I would not have erected this tomb. Since Nangong Ling'er is dead, how can we recognize each other? ”

Nangong Ling'er still looked at the tombstone and said lightly.

"But listening to what your junior said, it seems that your... His family is in the midst of an insurmountable catastrophe......"

Elder Liu looked concerned, his senior uncle was the most proud closed disciple of his ancestor Ziyin Zhenren, and his cultivation was superb, and no one could compare.

Elder Liu's words made Nangong Ling'er silent for a long time, and at the end, he sighed softly.

"Well, take this opportunity to repay the nurturing grace given to me by the Nangong family, from now on, the Nangong family has nothing to do with my Tianyunzi, and Nangong Ling'er has already been buried in this three-foot loess." After speaking, the whole person's figure disappeared in place, leaving only Elder Liu alone here.

Just when Nangong Jie was on the way back with anxiety, the worldly family of the entire Tang and Han Kingdoms received a news at the same time - Cardinal Emeishan will send his disciples to the secular Nangong family to return the relics of the elders.
