Chapter 42 I don't want to follow my short-lived grandfather to cultivate immortality
When the old lady heard that the decision was made by the Marquis, the wrinkles on her face relaxed a lot.
The Marquis of Jinyang, Jian Zeyang, whose courtesy name is Shanrun, is 65 years old this year. He once worked in the Ministry of Works. After the old Marquis passed away, Jian Zeyang inherited the Marquis's mansion and
became obsessed with cultivating immortality. He usually lived in a Taoist temple and returned to the Marquis's mansion once every ten days or half a month. After Jian Zeyang became obsessed with cultivating immortality, he did not care about worldly affairs
. The affairs of the Marquis's mansion were almost all decided by the old lady. As long as the old lady decided on something, the Marquis would generally not object. He just needed money to cultivate immortality.
So Jian Xilu's marriage was probably settled today.
Ha, once the marriage was settled, Jian Xilu would let them control her. Jian Zhang would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, the old lady felt much more relaxed, and her spirits also improved.
......
Jian Zeyang received the fourth prince in the study. The fifth and seventh young masters Shi, the second and third masters Jian Lang, and the third and third masters Jian Jin were also there. Min came in person and invited everyone to gather in the flower hall.
It was the first time that Jian Zeyang heard that there was a granddaughter named Jian Ruonan. After listening to Jian Ruonan's experience, he just said, "Everyone has their own fate." He didn't take it
to heart. He didn't care about anything in the Marquis' Mansion.
The only thing he cared about was cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal.
Jian Ruonan sat in the old lady's room for a while, and then went to the flower hall to prepare for the feast. As long as there was food, she was happy. As a result, when the seats were arranged, she was arranged next to Jian Zeyang, and on the other side was Tan Taimo.
The other female relatives sat at another table. The reason why she was arranged to sit here was because of Tan Tai Mo's request. It seemed that Tan Tai Mo wanted to discuss medical principles with her, but in fact, the Xuanwu system wanted to take the opportunity to steal more lamp oil.
Jian Zeyang had long white hair and a beard. He tied a bun on his head with a wooden hairpin and wore a gray robe. He looked a bit
like an immortal. Jian Ruonan glanced at Jian Zeyang: [Is this my grandfather? He looks like an old immortal.]
Jian Zeyang: ???
Who is talking? !
How can the voice be transmitted directly into my head? !
[In fact, he is just a fool. He was deceived by those fake Taoist priests and took a lot of lead and mercury pills! Jian Zeyang
, who considered himself half-god, soon discovered that the voice came from Jian Ruonan.
He was shocked. Could it be that this granddaughter had a strange encounter and could actually transmit sound through the air?
He suddenly became a little excited and wanted to ask Jian Ruonan what was going on: "You said beep--"
"Beep--"
"Beep--"
? ?
Why can't you say it?
Jian Zeyang has been practicing Taoism for many years, and he immediately understood that this was a secret that must not be revealed.
Unexpectedly, after practicing Taoism for many years, he actually met a strange person in his own house.
Min, Jian Xilu, and Teng Ge'er all breathed a sigh of relief.
It's great that grandfather can hear Nannan's voice, and Xilu doesn't have to marry the fifth young master of the Shi family.
Tan Taimo lowered his eyes and thought.
After these observations, if he guessed correctly, Jian Ruonan’s father, mother, sister, brother and even grandfather could hear her inner voice.
And she couldn’t say what she was thinking.
It turned out that he was not the only one who could hear it.
[Ding——]
[The target was detected to be in a bad mood, points -2]
Jian Ruonan: “…”
But she didn’t do anything!
She took a quick look, and the Fourth Prince’s expression didn’t change at all? !
Why did the points decrease again?
Is the Fourth Prince’s uncle here?
Forget it, I’m used to it.
The Fourth Prince is a moody and dark killer.
Maybe the points will increase again in a while.
Tan Tai Mo and Jian Ruonan were very close to each other, and they had talked and shook hands before. The Xuanwu system had enough oil, so he heard the sound of the system announcing that the points were reduced by 2.
Tan Tai Mo: [? ? What are points?]
The Xuanwu system said proudly: [Your Highness, if I am not mistaken, you are the target of the Fifth Lady's strategy. You are curious about the Fifth Lady and like her, so the Fifth Lady can get points as a reward. You are in a bad mood, so the Fifth Lady will be punished by deducting points.]
Tan Tai Mo: [What are the points for?]
The Xuanwu system: [You can redeem them for props, medicines, etc., and you can also draw cards. Drawing cards is a reward with gambling nature. 】
Tan Tai Mo: 【Did the Fifth Lady provide the capital for gambling?】
Xuan Wu System: 【Yes.】
【……】Tan Tai Mo was somewhat speechless: 【Did the Fifth Lady get the medicine for treating Madam Wang by drawing cards? 】
【It is highly likely that it is.】Xuan Wu System sighed: 【Even though there is a reward, the Fifth Lady does not take the initiative. It seems that she is not just an ordinary lazy person! Your Highness, if you want to stand up, you must rely on yourself!! 】
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
Jian Zeyang wanted to confirm his guess. He looked at Jian Ruonan and asked, "Xiao Wu, you beep——"
"How can you beep——"
Jian Ruonan sat with her head lowered and looked harmless, like a soft and sticky little white rabbit. She looked at her grandfather innocently: "Grandfather, what do you want to say?"
[Did grandpa take too many pills? His mind is not clear and his mouth is twitching. 】
Jian Houye: "......"
Although his granddaughter was very rude, with such a miracle, Jian Houye still couldn't hide his excitement: "Nan Nan, grandpa and you have a feeling that we met too late. Come on, pack up Miss Wu's things and move them to Songhe Hall. I want to teach Miss Wu Taoist magic in person."
Jian Ruonan:? ?
[This stupid grandfather is not going to use me to make pills, right? 】
Stupid?
Jian Zeyang took oxygen several times. He held his breath and explained, "Don't be afraid, Nannan. Grandfather thinks you have a good appearance."
He counted with his fingers and said silently, "Your birth date and time are all perfect. You are a person of great fortune. Are you willing to follow Grandfather to cultivate?"
He also knew a little about Jian Ruonan's possession by the Queen Mother. He had just thought it was a joke. He didn't expect that this granddaughter was really extraordinary.
Jian Ruonan blinked and asked, "Grandfather, how many levels have you reached in cultivation?" Jian
Zeyang stroked his beard and said, "Grandfather has just reached the realm of innocence."
The so-called innocence means "to be in harmony with the Tao, and to be one with heaven and man." The Taoist scriptures say that the innocent are in harmony with nature, pure and quiet inside and out, which is a high level. (1)
Jian Ruonan said stupidly that he didn't understand.
[Innocent? Very stupid and naive?]
[Let me see how the pills that Grandfather eats are made. The menstrual blood of a virgin? Yue——Can you eat this? It's too disgusting! Why don't you eat the boy's feces? 】
【Or add heavy metals such as mercury, copper, gallstones, and cyanide, all of which are poisonous, and you will be poisoned to death sooner or later. I won't practice with this stupid short-lived ghost. How many more years do I want to live? 】
【Grandfather feels even more outrageous than grandmother. Grandmother just picks the groom's feet and smells the actor's shoes, but grandfather's hobby is deadly! 】
Jian Zeyang: "..."
What? !
Poisoning? !
Licking feet? !
Smelling shoes? !
Really?
Even the ingredients used in the pills he took are clear, and the other information should be almost accurate.
Jian Zeyang looked at the old lady with a trace of worry on his face.
He called his personal servant and whispered, "Tie up the groom. I want to interrogate him myself."
The old lady knew nothing and was still planning to marry Jian Xilu to the Shi family: "My Lord, what do you think about the fifth young master of the Shi family and Xilu?"
Jian Zeyang originally wanted to say that you can do it yourself, as he still had to discuss elixirs with his precious granddaughter. Suddenly, Jian Ruonan's inner voice came again -
[The fifth young master of the Shi family cannot be married. Shi Fan's five sons are not his own, and these grandsons are also bastards. Grandfather will not marry my sister to a bastard, right? ! ] ? ? !
!
Jian Zeyang glared and slammed the table, "No!"
