Elsewhere

After knocking on the door, the vermilion door was opened from inside not long after.The old man who opened the door was shocked when he saw Ji Sheng's appearance, but he didn't say much.

The two who brought Jisheng asked him a few words.

"Does Uncle Gen know that we brought him here?"

After getting an affirmative answer, the two turned their heads and smiled, and said to Ji Sheng.

"Go in, Uncle Gen must have been waiting for you in the front hall."

Entering the gate, there is another small courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, dotted with fake mountains and spiritual trees from time to time. Although it is not as magnificent as Huawan Mountain, it is also the flavor of ancient Jiangnan buildings, small and elegant, elegant and exquisite.

After passing the antique black wooden carving corridor, I saw an ancient pavilion in front of me, with four doors open, the inside seemed a little dark, and I couldn't see the scene clearly.The two leading the way also stood at the door and did not leave, they both stretched out their hands to ask Ji Sheng to come in.

It seems that this is the front hall where Uncle Nagen is.

Thinking of meeting important people soon, Ji Sheng took a deep breath, stepped over the extremely high threshold, and walked in.

This front hall probably has a long history, and the interior is slightly darker.The sunlight outside does not come in very much, and lights are needed.

Ji Sheng came in from the outside, and after getting used to the dim light, he saw clearly that in front of him was a palace paved with polished blue bricks. There were three rows of seats on the left and right sides. Yellowed portrait.

"what……"

Ji Sheng glanced at it twice, and then his gaze was fixed on the portrait.

At first glance, why did the portrait look so familiar to him?

Ji Sheng took two steps in disbelief, trying to see clearly the figure on the portrait.

Ah!

Ji Sheng exclaimed silently in his heart.

There is no other reason, but in the portrait, there is an idle man with a shawl and a half-hanging blue shirt, with a handsome face and an indifferent expression.The end is to turn out the same mold as him, and grow up!

Just when Ji Sheng was in doubt, a middle-aged man in a white Tang suit walked out from the side of the wall where the portrait was hung.He frightened Ji Sheng again and took a few steps back.

The man was thin and thin, with long strands of withered, yellow and ugly hair tied behind his head, and the same beard, with two sparsely hanging around his mouth.The face also looks like it has been drained of fat, but the eyes are full of energy, which is really a strange contrast.

He stared at Ji Sheng for a while, then pulled his wrinkled lips and smiled.

"You're Ji Sheng, right? I'm your father's younger brother, your uncle Ji Gen. Look, you look so much like our patriarch, you're clearly a descendant of our Ji family."

Ji Sheng glanced at the portrait again, and saw that the title really said, Ancestor Ji Ranyou Scattered Portrait.

Relaxing his body, Ji Sheng turned his head to look at Ji Gen.

"I'm here this time just to know how my parents died. Can you tell me?"

Under Ji Gen's thin eyelids, the eyeballs that seem to be too protruding rolled slightly, and continued.

"Back then you were diagnosed with a congenital disease, unable to draw qi into your body, and could only be a mortal. We didn't care about it, and we still wanted you to grow up well inside the door. Who knew that your father believed that you would be in the door in the future? If you have no cultivation, you will be ridiculed by others, so I will take you out of the mountain gate and cut off contact with us." Ji Gen sighed, with a look of pain on his face. "Who would have guessed that they would suddenly die in an accident. We, outsiders, have been in seclusion for more than ten years. How could we know that you were left alone in this world..."

Taking another look at Ji Sheng, he seemed to feel pity for him, so Ji Gen finished speaking.

"It was also a few days ago that my son saw that you looked familiar. After I came back and reported it to me, I asked my secular friends to check the situation of your home, and then I found out..." Ji Gen clicked his tongue twice. "It's also God's blessing to my Bagua Sect. Before the New Year's Eve of this secular reunion festival, I found our relatives and grandchildren."

Ji Sheng knew what he said was right, if he hadn't met the man who taught him the music notation in Tianyuan Realm, he really wouldn't be able to draw his breath into his body.I can't enter the threshold of monks for a lifetime.

But if his parents take him to live outside because of this.As for the two monks, there was nothing in the world that could hurt them, so how could they pass away suddenly?

"Then... my parents... how did they... die?"

Ji Sheng asked with difficulty.

Ji Gen raised one eyebrow, twirled his beard and replied.

"My secular friends told me it was a car accident. But your parents are both at the level of qi refining, how can mortals hurt him? It must be that other monks saw that they were alone outside, so they decided to snatch their magic treasure, Lingshi."

"There are other monks?" Ji Sheng asked in surprise.

"Of course, in country Z alone, there are four great families. Besides our Ji family, there are Zhang, Liu, and Fan families. But the three of them have good relations with us, and they will never harm your parents. As for Whether it was done by casual cultivators or foreign monks..."

Ji Gen folded his hands behind his back, sat on a grand teacher's chair next to him, and took a sip of tea.

"You know, we only found out about this in the past few days. It is difficult to find out what happened more than ten years ago..."

Does this mean to tell him that he can't find it?

Ji Sheng was bitter in his heart.

"Don't be too sad. This matter is not only your matter, but also the matter of all of our Ji family. You can relax and practice in this family, and I will send someone to check it out." Ji Gen put down his tea bowl and said.

Someone checked for him, and he felt a little better.But for him to cultivate here, although it is a good thing to have plenty of spiritual energy.But there are Xiaoni and Shenjun beside him, so I don't know how they will react when they are seen by this person who claims to belong to the family.

There is also the Immortal Cauldron of Creation in the northeast.That is the most useful magic weapon for him in this world, and he must find out as soon as possible.

"I won't live here anymore," Ji Sheng said.

"Huh?" Ji Gen raised his eyes to look at him, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he seemed a little unhappy. "What do you say? Could it be that this place is not as good as those smoky mortals?"

With a tut, Ji Gen narrowed his eyes and said.

"By the way, you already have the realm of opening the meridian, and it seems that you can practice. What happened in the past few years, why don't you tell my uncle, as a reference for you, so as not to be deceived by the traitor."

"I picked up a jade slip by accident, and practiced according to the inside, and it's done. There's no danger, so you don't need to worry about it." Ji Sheng replied.

Seeing the other person's face was distant, Ji Gen felt very disdainful.

It's just a handicap with a congenital deficiency. If I can pick up any good skills, I guess I won't be able to make any progress in the future.He doesn't care about those wild things at all.

"Oh, so. It's getting late, I'll take you to meet your grandfather, who is also the head of the family." Ji Gen leaned on the armrest, stood up, and wanted to hold Ji Sheng.Unexpectedly, he was dodged by the other party.

"Oh, are you still so reserved? Come with me." Ji Gen didn't seem to care on his face, turned around and walked towards the side of the portrait.

Ji Sheng followed behind, looked around the wall, and found that there was also a door behind this room.

The scenery at the back of the front hall is similar to that at the entrance, but Ji Sheng has a little more insight at this time, and he can discern that these rockery flowers and trees seem to be arranged according to a certain pattern, probably in a formation.

It's really dangerous. If the god is not by his side, it will be difficult for him to leave.

Thinking of this, Ji Sheng touched the snake in his arms again.The other party seemed to feel what he was thinking, and rubbed lightly, signaling him to feel relieved.

After bypassing several old small courtyards like the front hall, I finally saw a slightly newer hall.

On the flat ground in front of the hall, there is a gossip pattern with spirit stones, and there is another formation in the middle of which Jisheng is unknown, emitting bursts of brilliance, and I don't know what it is for.

At this time, several disciples here saw Ji Gen coming, and they all came over to pay respects.

"This is your senior brother, Ji Sheng, son of Uncle Zhen." Ji Gen introduced to the others.

Ji Sheng recognized one of them as the young man who stopped him in Yunnan.

According to what his uncle told him just now, he is probably Ji Gen's son.

Sure enough, after Ji Gen introduced Ji Sheng, he pointed to the young man with clear features.

"You two are destined, this is the second time we met, this is my son, your cousin Ji Xiu."

Although Ji Xiu now knew that Ji Sheng was his cousin, he was still like Yunnan, his eyes were full of defensiveness.But it is estimated that because his father is here, it is also a polite sentence.

"Hehe, speaking of which, there is a story about the names of the two of you. Originally, you wanted to call Ji Sheng Xiu, but your cousin has been calling you Ji Sheng for several years, because you were ill at the time, and you Father has gone to ask for your cousin's new characters, and I hope you recover from your illness."

After Ji Gen finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Fortunately, you have already stepped into the monk's door at this time, and the spirits of your parents in heaven should also comfort you."

Although the memory of his parents had long since faded, and there was nothing left of their feelings, Ji Sheng felt a sense of sadness in his heart at this moment, and nodded with his lips pursed.

"Well, you go and do your own thing. I'll take Ji Sheng to see the patriarch." Ji Gen waved them away, and took Ji Sheng to the hall.

The layout of the main hall is also similar to that of the front hall, but it is brighter. The portrait of the patriarch is not as loose as in the front hall, but sitting in meditation with eyes closed, solemn and majestic.Ji Sheng secretly looked left and right, and found that the capital was invested here, and a large spirit-gathering array was placed on the ground, and the room was illuminated by the magic weapon.And the white-haired old man sitting on the futon in the formation is undoubtedly his grandfather, the head of the Eight Trigrams Sect here.

Hearing the two approaching, the old man also opened his eyes.

When he saw Ji Sheng's appearance, he trembled slightly.

"Sure enough, he is the heir of Zhen'er."

The old man beckoned for Ji Sheng to come over.

"You left so early, you don't remember me anymore. I am your grandfather, Ji Hui."

Ji Sheng saw that the old man's beard and hair were all white and his face was haggard. It was obvious that his lifespan was coming to an end and his energy was exhausted.

Although they had never met, they were indeed his relatives. Ji Sheng couldn't bear it, so he walked over as he said.

Seeing Ji Sheng approaching, Ji Hui immediately shook his hands in great relief.

"I don't know the age in the mountains, you are already this old... I am sorry that I ran away from the mountain in a fit of anger, and unexpectedly died..."

Speaking of this, Ji Hui burst into tears.

Seeing the old man pinching his big hands like pine bark, with tears on his face, Ji Sheng sighed deeply.

"Grandpa, don't be too sad. Parents are in heaven, and they don't want to see you get hurt right now."

Ji Hui wiped away tears, looked at Ji Sheng and said.

"As cultivators of immortality, we often ignore the matters of family relationships, and seek immortality to attain the Tao with a pure heart. But I don't know that I can't succeed in the matter of immortality, and the people in this family have not taken care of everything."

"Now that I'm near the end of my lifespan, it's a great relief to see you well." Ji Hui held Ji Sheng's hands tightly. "You must stay here for a while longer, and you will spend your last days with me."

"This……"

Ji Sheng was in a dilemma for a while, but he couldn't bear to see Ji Hui in his dying state.

At worst, he asked Shenjun to be careful, no one should be staring at him all day.

"Ok."
