At that time, Li Shigao was going to take Xiaofang back to Maoshan, but the elders of Maoshan told Li Shigao that he could not take Xiaofang back with him!
The older generation of Maoshan elders had not failed to pay attention to Li Shigao's whereabouts in Chongqing during the past year, but when they found out that Li Shigao was going to take Xiaofang back to Maoshan, they strongly opposed it. Because there was already a lot of gossip about Li Shigao being the head of Maoshan at such a young age, wouldn't he be laughed at by the whole world if he brought a woman back
At that time, Li Shigao and Xiaofang discussed it and decided not to return to Maoshan, because there were so many talented people on Maoshan, and it was okay to change someone to be the leader. Xiaofang and Wang Zhongshan were very happy to hear Li Shigao's decision and supported him. ..*/.*
But things are unpredictable, and the elders of Maoshan told Li Shigao that he had to come back. Many people were dissatisfied with Li Shigao being the head of the sect in his twenties. If he did not do it now, apart from other gossips, the internal struggle for the head of the sect would cause serious internal friction within Maoshan. Then they used Li Shigao's master to pressure him. The letter left by his master before his death also said that he hoped Li Shigao would lead Maoshan to prosperity.
On one side is the teacher's kindness, and on the other side is love. The literary youth will definitely choose love, but Li Shigao is an out-and-out ** youth, so he decisively chose to repay the teacher's kindness.
When Li Shigao told Wang Zhongshan and Xiaofang, Wang Zhongshan gave Li Shigao a meal. Xiaofang also cried for a night. In that era, it was not like this.
In that era, as long as you were not a virgin, no matter how rich your family was or how beautiful you were, most men would not be interested in you, because if you married such a woman, you would be labeled as a slut.
Li Shigao returned to Maoshan, and Xiaofang and Wang Zhongshan seemed to have disappeared.
After I finished listening to what Li Shigao said, I suddenly looked at the old man in his sixties next to me and felt very sad. I think I can understand his feelings at that time. I looked at Li Shigao and asked, "Do you regret it now?"
"Yeah." Li Shigao nodded very seriously, and then said: "But if God gives me another chance, I will definitely take Xiaofang back to Maoshan, but there is no medicine for regret in the world."
"What happened next? What happened to Xiaofang? You must have been in touch, otherwise you wouldn't have been so calm when you met that Wang Zhongshan." I said to Li Shigao.
Li Shigao nodded silently: "Yes, I did contact them. Xiaofang later gave birth to a son for me, and then she and my child lived alone in Chongqing. I later thought about bringing them to live in Maoshan, but they all disagreed and were very disgusted with me. I could do nothing except give them money. But it has been more than 40 years, and I have become indifferent to it." As he spoke, Li Shigao's eyes turned red.
I nodded and sighed secretly in my heart. I didn't expect that old guy Li Shigao had such a tragic story behind him. But they are all similar. Many people look very glorious on the outside, but who doesn't have some sad past behind them
"So how are they now? Looking at your age, Xiaofang isn't young either, maybe you even have grandchildren." Zeng Qi said from the side.
"Well, my son is in his forties, and my grandson is almost twenty. I'll take you to see him if I have the chance." Li Shigao let out a long sigh and said, "He's very handsome, and has the demeanor of me when I was young."
"Get lost, he should be as despicable as you." I smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's stop Miao Long and the others first and then go and see. I will also help you find Xiaofang to explain. She has been here for so many years, she must have figured it out a long time ago."
Li Shigao nodded, and then we headed towards the valley. Li Shigao remained silent along the way, as if he was thinking about something. This was really out of character compared to his usual carefree self.
In fact, Li Shigao is quite similar to me in some ways. Both Li Shigao and I look cheerful on the outside, but we both have our own stories behind us.
No, it's not just the two of us, it's everyone. Everyone has his or her own story and is the protagonist of his or her own life. Beggars can be seen everywhere on the streets. Some of them were abducted and sold when they were young. Some of them were once rich but failed in business and became beggars. Behind those big shots and stars on TV, they might have been young and frivolous, experienced joys and sorrows, and gave up some things because of work.
This may be the law of cause and effect. There is a cause for every effect. If Li Shigao had given up the leader of Maoshan at that time, he would have found love, but at the same time, he would not have the current fame and money. Perhaps he would just be an ordinary charlatan old man.
As I was thinking, we arrived at the valley where the Nine-tailed Fox was sealed. Li Shigao looked down, frowned and said, "If we want to release the Nine-tailed Fox, we must cut off the more than one hundred chains. As soon as Miao Long arrives, we can just start. I will deal with Miao Long then. Li Zhendong and the yellow-eyed zombie that Xiaojiu mentioned will be left to you three."
"Li Zhendong is good at summoning ghosts, and his combat ability is not that good. When the time comes, just go up and grab his hands. As for the yellow-eyed zombie, it is also easy to deal with. We can use ordinary talismans to deal with it. But they should be prepared. You still have to be careful and remember safety first."
I watched Li Shigao chattering in front of us, and it seemed that he was worried about our safety. I smiled and said, "Don't worry, just be careful of Miao Long. The three of us are more than enough to deal with Li Zhendong and the yellow-eyed zombies."
"Xiaojiu, you can deal with the yellow-eyed zombie when the time comes. You don't need to kill it, just entangle it. Zeng Qi and Su Zimo, you two can deal with Li Zhendong." Li Shigao thought for a moment and said to me. I asked curiously, "Why?"
"Because Li Mingyao is still in their hands. If Li Zhendong uses Li Mingyao to threaten you, you won't dare to do it. Besides, you and Li Mingyao have a good relationship, and Li Zhendong is Li Mingyao's father. You may not be able to kill him. It will be very dangerous if you are soft-hearted in this situation."
I nodded. Li Shigao was right. If Li Zhendong and I were to fight to the death, I might not be able to do it. After all, he is my brother's father.
Then we discussed some other things, followed the rope left by Miao Long and the others down into the valley, found a place with deep weeds to hide, and slowly waited for Miao Long and the others to appear.
