Chapter 212: An Accidental Death

Jiao Liang's home is in the western frontier of the Enlightenment Continent, a place called Yunmeng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiao Liang was only eleven years old when he left home, and he had been in Miaozhen for nearly ten years, but when he went back this time, he was depressed and embarrassed.

When Jiao Liang left home, only his own grandfather was left in the family. The Jiao family is a well-known immortal cultivator family in Yunmeng, and Jiao Liang's grandfather is the current head of the Jiao family.

Because he is the only grandson of the Jiao family and was brought up by his grandfather since he was a child, Jiao Liang has a very good relationship with his grandfather. Jiao has a big conscience, but at the age of ten, he wanted to make some achievements outside, and then go home to inherit the family business, so he went to Miaozhen alone, wanting to find his own pursuit in this sect of immortal cultivation that has been famous for a long time.

In fact, even if he does not leave the Jiao family, the Jiao family's family business must be inherited by him, who calls him the only grandson of the Jiao family.

As for the Jiao family's family business, to put it simply, there are two words - fortune telling.

The research and pursuit of numerology by the descendants of the Jiao family has reached the point of madness. Jiao Liang's father was a famous fortune teller in Yunmeng back then, and he was a leader in both his talent in numerology and his dedication to numerology. It's a pity that Jiao Liang's father can calculate other people's lives, but he can't count his own. Maybe he was too talented and persistent in numerology, so fate played tricks on him in other ways.

I heard that Jiao Liang's father and mother were originally in deep love and admirable. But one day, Jiao Liang's father went out to tell fortunes when he encountered an accident and unfortunately died, at that time Jiao Liang's mother was still holding an eight-month-old belly, when he heard the bad news, he was immediately sad, and the child almost couldn't be saved, and finally gave birth to Jiao Liang, and soon followed his father, so Jiao Liang became an orphan without father and mother.

Fortunately, he also has a grandfather.

Since Jiao Liang was expelled from the division by Miaozhen, he has really had all kinds of ups and downs, all kinds of unsatisfactory - his cultivation is gone, his spiritual veins have been destroyed, he can no longer cultivate immortals, and he has to endure the pain of separation from his beloved, and let grief, jealousy, resentment, etc. entangle and torture, he remembered all these on Tao Xinlai.

He wanted to return to the Jiao family, on the one hand, for the fate of Bai Zilian and Tao Xinlai, and on the other hand, he was eager to find his position and value in the Jiao family and find a chance to start over.

Hometown timidity. Jiao Liang paused outside Yunmeng City, and the past surged in his mind one by one. Finally, he stretched out his hands and wiped his face, and went into the city with his head held high.

The appearance of this young master of the Jiao family has hardly changed much from when he was a child, and soon after he entered the city, someone made a "huh" sound, and then walked up to him and asked, "Young master?" The man hesitated, mainly because Jiao Liang's temperament had become more melancholy and gloomy, covered in dust, his hair was yellow and messy, his cheeks were sunken, his clothes were tattered, and it was obvious that he had traveled a long way, and his life was not satisfactory.

I think that back then, although Jiao Liang did not have parents to take care of him in the Jiao family, he was also the treasure in the palm of everyone's favor in the family, where would there be such a description today.

Jiao Liang was startled, and when he noticed the doubt in the other party's eyes, his face turned red and he felt ashamed and indignant. He gritted his teeth, and once again scolded the eighteenth generation of the Tao family in his heart, and then he barely calmed down, ignored the person, and walked directly past him to Jiao's house.

The man was suspicious, followed Jiao Liang for more than ten steps, and saw that he was walking in the direction of Jiao's family, so he ran up in surprise and joy, and said, "Young master! Don't you remember me? I'm Jiao Fu! ”

Jiao Liang was stunned for a moment, looked at his eyebrows, and then recognized that this middle-aged, fat, white and chubby man was Jiao Fu, the son of the housekeeper in the family.

"Jiao Fu......" he blinked, looking a little silly.

Jiao Fu immediately hugged him, and tears came to him. "Woo woo woo, young master! You've been gone for so many years, why don't you come back to take a look! Little master! You...... You...... What's wrong with you...... How did it come to this......"

Even if Jiao Liang has more memories of Jiao Fu, he doesn't want to continue at this moment. He pushed him away with embarrassment and anxiety on his face, and said, "Cheng...... What a system! Let's talk about it later! With that, he stopped caring about him and walked straight to the gate of Jiao's house in front of him.

Jiao Fu wiped his tears with his sleeve, and was about to welcome Jiao Liang in, when he suddenly thought of something.

"Young Master......"

"Young Master......" The door opened, and there was a person inside who spoke at the same time as Jiao Fu. And beside that man, there was also a young man with a thin figure and eyebrows like a knife.

"Wu Yong?" Jiao Liang exclaimed.

Wu Yong thought about it for a while, and then suddenly said, "Jiao Liang? ”

There were four people standing at the door, Jiao Liang glared at Wu Yong, and the people around Wu Yong stared at Jiao Fu.

"That'...... That one...... Father ......" Jiao Fu scratched his head and shrunk his neck.

Jiao Fu's father, Jiao Shou, looked at Jiao Liang, and saluted with a torch-like gaze: "Second Young Master, you are back." The tone was respectful, but calm, one might even say indifferent.

Jiao Liang's face darkened, and he realized that the voice of "Big Young Master" was calling Wu Yong.

Wu Yong saw that Jiao Liang's expression was wrong, and he was slightly embarrassed. However, he still has to go out to run errands, so he doesn't have time to talk to Jiao Liang. So, he spoke: "Brother Jiao, I have something to go out, so I'll leave first." He nodded, and wanted to go out.

Jiao Shou immediately said: "Young master, the old lady ordered the little one to follow you......" As he spoke, he saluted Jiao Liang and said goodbye, and glared at his son without leaving a trace, and quickly followed.

"I said don't call me the eldest young master, I'm a foreign surname, so calling it will make people misunderstand......" Wu Yong was really helpless.

"Young Master, you can talk to the old lady about these words......" Jiao Shou was unmoved.

Jiao Liang's face was so gloomy that he couldn't look at it. He glared at Jiao Fu and said, "What's going on?!" ”

Jiao Fu immediately bent down and said, "This matter is a long story, two...... That, young master, let's see the old lady first. ”

Jiao Liang's heart was surging, but he couldn't see his grandfather like this, so he snorted coldly and walked to where he lived.

Along the way, many members of the Jiao family were secretly looking at Jiao Liang, and Jiao Liang was so angry that he was angry, but he had a cold face and didn't say a word of scolding.

The old lady of the Jiao family soon got the news that the young master Jiao Liang, who had left home, had returned. He knew what it would be like when he came back.

Old lady Jiao sat there with his eyes closed, and only after a long time did he sigh softly, wave his hand, and let people retreat.

Jiao Liang cleaned and tidied himself up, and wanted to choose the luxurious beige shirt embroidered with cloud patterns, but when he wore it, he found that his face was too yellow and haggard.

He was so angry that he tore his clothes to pieces and threw them on the ground, and stomped on them several times, and then he stood there stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he felt a little cold on his body, so he walked to the wardrobe again, picked out a dark blue coat and put it on his body, slowly flattened the cuffs, and then went out to see his grandfather.

He wanted to ask his grandfather why Wu Yong was still called "Big Young Master" in his home!

Old lady Jiao's cultivation is already in the Jindan period, but Shouyuan will also be exhausted. He still looks like he's in his fifties, but lately, he's noticeably old.

When Jiao Liang saw Mrs. Jiao, he was a little stunned for a while, and then, the natural family affection surged into his heart and throat, making him involuntarily pounce with red circles in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Grandpa, I miss you!" ”

The kind old man touched Jiao Liang's hair, again and again, and let him throw himself on his knees and cry louder and louder, tears wet his clothes, and it took a long time before he said, "You have suffered hardship." ”

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while in one place, during which Jiao Liang mentioned the destruction of his spiritual vein, originally thinking that his grandfather would definitely make the decision for him and find a good way for him, but his grandfather just said: "Even if you can't practice with your body, don't forget the heart of the Tao, some of the Jiao family's inheritance has nothing to do with whether you practice or not." ”

Jiao Liang looked at his grandfather in surprise, a little unable to believe that this was what his grandfather said. He stared straight ahead in a daze, and several times wanted to angrily ask his grandfather why, but in the end he held back.

He lowered his head, cleaned up his mood, and asked, "By the way, grandpa, there is a kind of fate, and the grandson can't understand it, and I want to ask grandpa to take a look." ”

Old Lady Jiao squinted her eyes and asked, "What fate?" ”

"It's a death star, and there's a little living companion next to it."

Old lady Jiao's eyes flashed, and he didn't think about it for long, so he said: "Numerology is broad and profound, and manpower is beyond it. In this way, it may not be a death star, but a living star. ”

Jiao Liang thought about it, although his face was not very good, but if Tao Xinlai and Bai Zilian's fate were really compatible, then only this explanation would make sense.

Although Jiao Liang himself has some understanding of numerology, he is far from being proficient. He looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, can you ask grandpa to help me calculate the lives of two people?" ”

Old lady Jiao didn't immediately agree to him. He said: "Do you know what the Jiao family has to pay for fortune telling? ”

Jiao Liang was stunned, silent for a long time, and said: "Grandpa, she is her grandson's best friend, and she is the person that her grandson cherishes. ”

"Oh, what about the other one?"

Jiao Liang's gaze was as dark as night. "It's the enemy."

Old lady Jiao looked at him for a long time before saying, "You just came back, let's go rest first." ”

Jiao Liang was very unhappy that his grandfather, who brought him up with his own hands, replied to him, "But ......"

Old lady Jiao looked at him, and there was a magical power in his eyes that made people dare not look directly and dare not refute.

Jiao was timid, and obediently withdrew.

After Jiao Liang left, someone came in and said beside Old Lady Jiao: "The second young master is unwilling and indignant. ”

Old Lady Jiao couldn't help but sigh and said, "How is the eldest young master doing over there?" ”

The man said: "The eldest young master has already gone to Xiang's house, and I believe that he will bring back accurate news at sunset." ”

Old Lady Jiao stretched her eyebrows, nodded slightly, and then began to close her eyes again. (To be continued.) )
