Gu Sanqiu nodded indifferently: "Okay, I learned a lesson from this. Usually I don't pay attention to this aspect."
"Haha, that's it. You Gu family should have inherited this temperament."
The old mother's tone was unhurried: "Do you know what the enemies hated most about Brother Shaochong at that time? It was that he said that he was not good at fighting, and then he pressed down and beat enemies that others thought were very powerful."
"Many enemies who were not worthy of death were beaten up and locked up. Whenever they hear the words 'I'm not very good at it', they will tremble all over. Haha, young years are so good."
Let me go, this ancestor is really an old hermaphrodite.
Also, the criterion for being truly "good at fighting" in Gu Shaochong's words wouldn't be based on the eldest member of the Gu family, right?
Please, that was during the Demon God War. How could a lunatic trained in that era be treated as a normal person?
Gu Sanqiu's expression was subtle: "What, I'm still curious about how you and my ancestor met."
"Back then, I wanted to travel like Qian Feng who had seen the world. Not long after I traveled to Liyue, I met Brother Shaochong."
The old mother said: "He was the most shining person in Liyue at that time. In fact, I didn't expect to meet such a person just after I stepped into the land of Liyue."
"He held a large banquet to invite gods and gods to drink with the people, led the people of Liyue to conquer the four directions, and quelled the evil and evil in all directions. If he hadn't strongly opposed it, everyone who had received his favor would want to call him the Little Emperor."
"I was also fortunate enough to follow him and fight against evil spirits. I guess the little girls in the church now can't imagine that the old mother they respect actually had such a fighting time."
Gu Sanqiu's mood became even more subtle.
Damn it, if it was just a little bit wrong before, something is very wrong now.
I always feel that this old man has a lot of ideas about his ancestors, and this idea continues to this day.
"You guessed it right. I do have feelings for Brother Shaochong."
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help but lower his head: "Are you still able to read minds?"
"Haha, you are a smart kid. Listen to me, an old woman, how could you not think about this? A fool would not come up with a way to pretend to be the god of wind and respond to help the disciple solve the problem."
The old mother smiled kindly: "In our time, that was a normal thing. I don't know how many girls admired Brother Shaochong, and I was just one of them."
"Haha, but, since I have free will, I may have acted more openly. In the words of you young people nowadays, I boldly confessed my feelings to Brother Shaochong."
Gu Sanqiu:!
"twice."
Gu Sanqiu:!!!
"Then what, old man, why don't you explain it in detail?"
"Haha, just call me grandma and I will tell you."
"grandmother."
Gu Sanqiu sold his ancestors quite bachelorly.
"Hahaha, it's okay to tell you. When I confessed my love to brother Shaochong, he actually told me that our age difference was too big and it was inappropriate. I deserved better."
When the old mother talked about this, she couldn't help but shake her head: "Well, at first I thought it was because he didn't have much time for romance, so I didn't mention it again."
"For him, I did not continue traveling, but stayed in Liyue temporarily."
"Then the time came and I had to go back to Mondstadt. I once again expressed my feelings to Brother Shaochong, but the bastard said directly, 'I don't know how to fall in love' and 'I can't have a family before everything is peaceful'!"
The old mother's whole body was filled with illusory black energy: "I was so angry that I left a farewell letter and returned to Mondstadt. From then on, the contact was lost."
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help but said: "Actually, I think Patriarch Shaochong really wants to think about this after the Sifang is pacified. He didn't explicitly say no to you when he said this. We are all adults, why don't we spread it out?
Tell me?"
A blush appeared on the old mother's face: "Well, in addition to the tight pressure from the church, there were actually some ridiculous speculations."
"So many girls admired him, and there were many who followed me after I revealed my feelings, but in the end, none of them agreed."
"Because there was a Dao Wife who came across the sea, and Brother Shaochong helped him make connections, helped him study Taoism, and arranged for people to serve him. At that time, I thought that he actually liked men."
Let me go, this melon is a bit big. That Inazuma lady who came across the sea is definitely Harunosuke, definitely!
"Thinking about it now, well, it's just that the two of them have the same belief in saving the country and the people, so they have a brotherly mentality of sympathy."
Gu Sanqiu was confused: "You are a living person. After finishing your church work, you will not come back to Liyue to have a cup of tea with him or something?"
"After thinking about it, I did plan to do so, and then I came."
The old mother's tone suddenly became bleak: "After I came, I was received by one of the Seven Stars. He told me that Brother Shaochong has disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. Even the Immortal in Jueyunjian has not been found."
Gu Sanqiu looked solemn: "Layered rock abyss?"
The old mother glanced at Gu Sanqiu in surprise: "The little guy knows quite a lot, but the time is wrong. The Great Abyss had already been pacified when I met Brother Shaochong, not even five hundred years ago. He was no older than me.
"No, that's why you used that excuse to fiddle with me."
"I don't believe it, and I told Liyue where Brother Qixing Shaochong might go, but they said that the immortals who are familiar with Brother have almost searched Liyue, but they can't find where he is."
Gu Sanqiu wanted to say something dirty. Isn't this a happy meal? Why did he reveal such a thing to himself while eating?
Judging from the time mentioned by the old man, Gu Shaochong must have been involved in the Juyuan incident five hundred years ago, and he probably saw something happen, and then he focused on his career.
A person who once held a grand banquet to invite the gods to come down to earth to drink with the people. Such pride was inevitably written and sung by bards in Mondstadt. Such a person would use some false and empty reasons to reject the girl's expressed feelings?
Because that is not falsehood, but the true feelings in his heart.
That's why he was particularly tolerant of Yuigami Harunosuke, who came across the sea, and helped him generously.
People who have seen too many tragedies, apart from some people who are so angry that they want to destroy everything, there are also people who hope that tragedy will not happen again and hope that other people will live well.
"Child, do you know why I am willing to tell you this?"
The old mother laughed: "Because Brother Shaochong just disappeared, I believe he is still alive in this world. This is my hope."
"I am a mortal without the eyes of God. Apart from various life-extending plans, I am able to live until now precisely because of hope."
"I think Brother Shaochong is not dead. I still want to see him again and give him a slap in the face."
"I'm old, so old that the wrinkles on my face can kill flying insects, but I still want to tell him that I like you again."
"If he still rejects me, then give him a slap."
The old mother smiled and said: "I know that the response you created was not done by Lord Barbatos, but I will still support you in becoming the Son of the West Wind. Do you want to know the reason?"
Gu Sanqiu said softly: "For, hope?"
"Yes, for hope."
"Master Barbatos has not responded to the world for a long time, so where should our faith go? Today's young people have already shown signs of this."
The old mother leaned her head on the back of the chair: "Not long ago, the guardian of the east wind reappeared in the world, singing a long song like a dragon and flying across Mondstadt. The falling miracle healed Mondstadt's pain, and everyone's faith was restored again.
Become firmer."
"But how can such a thing be normal? Even if the dragon soaring in the sky is given the title of Guardian of the East Wind, he is still the king of the sky and a star that is beyond the reach of mortals."
"Fortunately, you showed up and gave me a big surprise."
"You have a good character and background that makes me feel at ease. Being able to establish a child like you as the Son of the West Wind will be beneficial to the entire church."
"Compared with the dragons in the sky, the creatures on the earth will surely make them firmer in their faith."
The old mother said: "People of the older generation know that the God of Wind has never left Mondstadt, but young people have seen more, and the world has changed in a way that makes it even harder for people to understand. Everyone needs to hope that someone who can understand
A tangible hope.”
"How about, kid, do grandma a favor and get her name in the West Wind Church?"
