After Li Qingzhu handed over Meng Yixiao to Fengling, he went forward alone to see Guo Xiang.

"Squeak."

Li Qingzhu slowly pushed the door of Guo Xiang's meditation room open, and a sandalwood fragrance came to his face, Li Qingzhu shrugged the tip of his nose a little uncomfortably, and then slowly stepped in.

There were a few candlesticks nearby, Li Qingzhu was a little puzzled how to light the candles in broad daylight, and then looked closely, the candles on the candlesticks were about to burn out.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The slow but powerful sound of tapping the wooden fish has not stopped since Li Qingzhu entered the door, Li Qingzhu carefully looked in the direction where the sound came from, and a nun with a somewhat rickety back was kneeling on the futon, facing the Buddha statue and chanting with her eyes closed.

Li Qingzhu walked over gently, with a hint of softness in his eyes.

"Second sister, you're old."

As soon as Li Qingzhu's words fell, the sound of Guo Xiang tapping the wooden fish also stopped.

"We're all old."

Guo Xiang's voice was a little tired, and his voice was a little low, but he couldn't hear the demeanor of decades ago.

Guo Xiang slowly put down the gavel in his hand, then picked up the corner of his clothes with his hands, and slowly stood up from the futon.

After Guo Xiang turned around, Li Qingzhu found that Guo Xiang was really old, and his face full of ravines reminded Li Qingzhu that Guo Xiang at this time was already a seventy-year-old man, and in ancient times, being able to live to the age of seventy was indeed a long life.

"Qingzhu, it's been a few years since the last goodbye, right? You too, obviously there is nothing big in the gang, and I don't know if you came to see me. ”

Guo Xiang still used the gentle eyes and tone he used to talk to Li Qingzhu. No matter how much Li Qingzhu has achieved in the rivers and lakes, he is still the little kid who was shocked when he first saw Guo Xiang.

Li Qingzhu smiled a little embarrassedly, since the old men of the beggar gang left one after another. He didn't have the mind to walk around, and would rather stay in the house every day than go out.

In the past, I would come to Mount Emei every few years to visit Guo Xiang, but then I basically had no plans to go out.

"I'm sorry, second sister, a lot of various things have happened, you are chanting Buddha. I also know that many times, we also have times when we can't help ourselves. ”

Guo Xiang nodded, and walked to the chair and sat down. "I understand, I understand, after all, not everything can develop according to our wishes, but. Sometimes it's a lot better to go with the flow. Isn't it? ”

Guo Xiang looked at him lovingly, just like an old lady looking at her juniors, the age difference between Guo Xiang and Li Qingzhu was twelve years old, and it could indeed be regarded as a generation in ancient times, although the two have always been commensurate with each other, but as Guo Xiang grew older, she also regarded Li Qingzhu more and more as a junior.

Li Qingzhu smiled and nodded, even if Guo Xiang didn't pay attention to what he said. He would also obey Guo Xiang's words, after all, she was seventy years old.

"Second sister. I have received your letter to me, has the Mingjiao behavior been so high-profile recently? ”

Li Qingzhu asked Guo Xiang with a smile, as if he didn't take Mingjiao seriously at all, but in fact it was.

Since the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, the Manichaeism that had previously opposed the Great Song Dynasty was officially renamed Mingjiao, and the spearhead was shifted to the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. Because the Mingjiao acted secretively and often did not play cards according to the routine, the court was harassed, and every time they wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress, they found that their target had disappeared suddenly.

As the confrontation with the imperial court became longer and longer, Mingjiao gradually appeared in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, but because they were foreign sects, but their style of acting was quite eccentric, so they were not liked by the people of the Central Plains.

"Maybe it's because of the events of the past few years, they are a little unaccustomed to our Emei faction, and when our disciples walk under the mountain, they are more 'cared for' by them."

Guo Xiang smiled slightly, perhaps in her opinion, Mingjiao's actions were like a child's revenge.

"You also know the way, I'm old, my energy is not as good as before, and I can live to this age thanks to Junbao to pass on my Jiuyang Divine Skills. I already have plans to pass on the position of head to Fengling, but I am very worried that Fengling's experience in the rivers and lakes will not be able to bear such a burden. ”

Guo Xiang sighed as he spoke, looking worried.

"You know that the Dao Beggar Gang and Wudang will support Fengling, what are you thinking about? At this age, let's take care of your body, Fengling will naturally consider these things. ”

Li Qingzhu was angry and educated Guo Xiang, causing Guo Xiang to laugh again and again, this seventy-year-old lady still has a little bit of the demeanor of her youth, and she has a trace of grace when she smiles like this.

"Alas, I'm worried that Fengling is not calm enough. The people in the Ming Sect acted radically and uniquely, taking the events of the past as an example, they knew that those people were the sect that pretended to be them, but because the Emei faction lost their face back then, they wanted to find trouble with Emei. ”

"Although Fengling's personality is calm, she is not cautious enough, I am afraid that she will confront Mingjiao because of this and make unnecessary sacrifices."

Guo Xiang shook her head, obviously she didn't take the harassment of the Ming Sect to heart at all, but was still happy because she had the opportunity to train her disciples like this.

It's just that Fengling is not a character like her, so Guo Xiang is always worried.

"Don't worry, second sister, after all, she also calls me a senior, even if it's for this title, you have to help Fengling at all, right? Don't worry, you have summoned me and my senior brother specifically for this matter, do you want to talk to us about this, or do you just miss us? ”

Li Qingzhu laughed and made a joke about her, Guo Xiang replied with a noncommittal smile: "It's all there, people are old, and they always like to miss the old things, the second sister has become more verbose than before, don't dislike me." ”

Li Qingzhu chuckled, then pointed to the jasper gourd on his waist and said, "Do you remember this?" Didn't I survive like this when you were so verbose? ”

Guo Xiang smiled when he heard this, then got up and said to Li Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, accompany me out for a walk." ”

Li Qingzhu gladly agreed.

Li Qingzhu helped Guo Xiang out of the meditation room, and the two of them walked around the entire Emei faction.

"When I started the Emei faction, I just wanted to have a place to live, but I didn't expect that today, it has become a big faction on the rivers and lakes."

Guo Xiang looked at the disciples around him who were practicing with their hearts, and said with a sigh.

"Sometimes you do something with your heart and don't necessarily succeed, but your unintentional actions will promote the occurrence of an amazing thing, isn't this fate?"

Li Qingzhu looked at her with a smile and said, Guo Xiang nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, just like when I met you back then, this is the happiest thing I have done in decades." ”

After walking for more than ten minutes, Li Qingzhu and Guo Xiang accidentally met Meng Yixiao who was playing, Fengling who accompanied her, and of course, the red phoenix who still had a sense of existence.

Chihuang saw Guo Xiang from a distance, and immediately raised his head and hissed, as if he was greeting Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang's hearing is still very good, after hearing Chihuang's voice, she smiled and waved her hand to greet Chihuang, and at the same time looked at Li Qingzhu and smiled: "This child is still in the same spirit as before, you take good care of it." ”

"Hehe, no way, it's my family now."

Li Qingzhu smiled warmly, Chihuang has been with him for decades, and he is already an irreplaceable family member.

"Uncle Qingzhu!"

Caused by Chihuang's reaction, Meng Yixiao and Fengling also saw Li Qingzhu and Guo Xiang who were strolling over, Meng Yixiao immediately ran over, looked up at Li Qingzhu with a smile and shouted.

Fengling also walked to Guo Xiang's side and bowed.

Guo Xiang looked at Meng Yixiao with a smile and asked Li Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, who is this little sister?" ”

"Hehe, second sister, do you remember the Meng family brothers next to me? This is Boss Meng's granddaughter, Meng Yixiao. ”

Li Qingzhu introduced Guo Xiang, and Meng Yixiao looked at Guo Xiang without fear and asked, "Are you Uncle Qingzhu's sister?" ”

Guo Xiang smiled happily after hearing this, nodded and said, "Yes, I am." ”

"Hmm, what shall I call you? You look older than my grandfather, but you're Uncle Aotake's sister. ”

Meng Yixiao looked at Guo Xiang with a tangled expression and said, this question has also been entangled in her heart for a long time.

Guo Xiangha said with a smile: "You can call me anything you want, as long as you are happy." ”

"Then I'll call you grandma, you must not be angry."

Meng Yixiao looked at Guo Xiang a little timidly and a little, her grandmother had left her for a long time, and when she saw Guo Xiang for the first time, she felt that Guo Xiang was very kind, so she wanted to call Guo Xiang's grandmother.

Guo Xiang smiled disappreciatively and responded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

"Grandma, you're so nice!!"

Meng Yixiao immediately cheered, and then threw herself into Guo Xiang's arms and hugged Guo Xiang to be coquettish, she hadn't been coquettish in front of such an amiable person of the same age as her grandmother for a long time.

Guo Xiang also happily hugged Meng Yixiao and let her be coquettish, now she is almost like an ordinary old lady, if she chose to marry instead of become a monk, I am afraid that her granddaughter will be older than Meng Yixiao.

Li Qingzhu looked at all this with a smile, Guo Xiang's age was a few years older than Meng Xinghua, and it was normal for Meng Yixiao to call Guo Xiang's grandmother, but Li Qingzhu seemed to be a generation shorter for no reason.

But he doesn't mind, everyone has their own friends, and looking at Guo Xiang's appearance, he seems to be quite happy, as long as the people around him are happy, he doesn't have any ideas.

Since Zhang Sanfeng had not yet arrived at Mount Emei, Li Qingzhu was not in a hurry to leave, so he stayed in Mount Emei.

Meng Yixiao and Guo Xiang are very close, she likes this newly recognized grandmother very much, and pesters Guo Xiang almost every day, Li Qingzhu doesn't care.

In this way, Li Qingzhu has been staying in Mount Emei for more than half a month, and a sloppy Taoist person riding a donkey belatedly appeared at the foot of Mount Emei. (To be continued......)
