Grandma Ji's appearance is roughly similar to Ji Xi's, but she looks more serious than Ji Xi, and is more vicissitudes because of her age. And the strange thing was that Ji Cao didn't have a good impression of that face similar to Ji Xi's, but instead felt disgusted.
As soon as the two came, Grandma Ji asked straight to the point: "Do you know why I called you over?"
Ji Xi pulled Ji Cao behind him before replying, "I don't know."
Grandma Ji noticed her movement and smiled, "Before I tell you, would you like to hear a story?"
Ji Xi was a little curious, but when he thought of his parents outside, he felt uneasy, "Then make a long story short, I can't keep my parents waiting too long."
"What a filial child." Grandma Ji smiled kindly, glanced at Ji Cao, and then began to tell the story, "A long time ago, there were not only human beings in this world, but also demons." At this point, she gave Ji Cao a meaningful look before continuing.
"And human beings are not like what they are now, but they can fly into the sky and escape from the ground through cultivation. At the beginning, humans and monsters lived in peace, but after all, they are not my race, and there must be heresy. Monsters are like the darlings of this world. , born with the ability to cultivate, but there are still many people who are unable to embark on the path of cultivation despite all the trials and tribulations of human beings. But this is not the most important point, the most important point is—monsters have a long lifespan.”
"People who know how to practice can live for hundreds of years. Although it is difficult for those who practice well to live for thousands of years, it is not impossible. There are even tens of thousands of years. What about human beings? Those with a lifespan of hundreds of years are still rare. Those with a lifespan of more than a thousand years are even rarer, and only by using certain secrets can they survive.”
"The grievances between the two races have accumulated for many years, until a certain event a few hundred years ago, the race war broke out. The human race was like a mess of scattered sand, so we elected a leader as the leader. Under the leadership of the leader, our human race gradually turned defeat into victory, and finally defeated The demon clan is gone, and the light is ushered in."
Grandma Ji picked up the cup in her hand, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and said, "This leader of mankind is Ji Xi, the ancestor of our Ji family. This elder just happens to have the same name as you, so it's nothing. It's just like you, which surprises me."
Ji Xi looked at her quietly, "What are you trying to express when you tell us this?"
"Before you, I was the person most like her." Grandma Ji put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Ji Xi's face with a complicated expression, "And I am also the most talented person, the only one who can cultivate in a hundred years. Do you know that in the past hundred years, the Ji family, from the main family to the branch clan, has no one who can cultivate. Especially in recent years, the spiritual energy is thin, and few can cultivate. I am one of them, so I never The branch clan was chosen to come to the main family, and after they became adults, they married the patriarch, hoping to give birth to offspring who can practice. However, to our disappointment, we did not find anyone with this ability."
"You came back when you were young. I saw it once. You don't have the ability to cultivate." Grandma Ji's eyes were a bit inquiring. I didn't expect to feel the breath of a practitioner when I was giving a speech."
Ji Xi practiced rapidly, but after all, he didn't last long, and he couldn't restrain his spiritual energy, so he was discovered.
Grandma Ji looked at Ji Xi with a smile, "So are you interested in staying in this family? I can teach you how to practice."
"Stay in the family?" Ji Xi shook his head, "Didn't the family say there was a curse?"
"Curse?" Grandma Ji paused, "There is indeed such a thing, but it's not as bad as the rumors. Have you seen this old house? It is said that this old house was used by the ancestor of the Ji family to suppress some kind of It was only built by a terrible existence. Years have passed, the old house is old, and the suppressed things are gradually wanting to come out. The so-called curse is that it has been here for a long time, and those who are not strong-willed are easily affected. We practitioners are different. The body can bear it. Come on, in this way, it doesn't matter if you stay."
Ji Cao poked a head out from behind Ji Xi, and asked curiously, "What is being suppressed?"
Grandma Ji shook her head: "Only that ancestor knows the specifics."
"Didn't grandma ever think about leaving the old house?" Ji Xi pressed her head back and continued to ask, "As far as I know, grandma has never left the old house, right?"
"If I leave, what if the suppressed thing wants to come out?" Grandma Ji looked serious, "Once that thing comes out, not only our family, but everyone will be affected."
Ji Xi was unmoved, and just said, "Then grandma is really selfless. It's just that I'm not as great as grandma, sacrificing my freedom for others."
Grandma Ji was not surprised, and explained with a smile: "It's not that you are required to stay in the old house all the time, it's just that you stay here most of the time."
Ji Xi still shook his head, and took Ji Cao's hand, "Grandma, we won't bother you anymore."
"Wait a minute." Grandma Ji stopped her, "Don't you want to improve your ability? With your current level, it will be more than a little troublesome to protect the girl next to you."
Ji Xi stopped and turned around with sharp eyes, "What do you know?"
"Before someone found out that you were from the Ji family, and then asked me to come here." Grandma Ji took out a document from nowhere, "I just found out that my descendants were with people from the Yaozu."
Ji Cao didn't expect it to be related to her, she raised her head and glanced at Ji Xi, and felt Ji Xi's hand tightening suddenly in the next second, "Xiao Xi, my hand hurts."
Ji Xi quickly let go of her, and while apologizing, he picked up her hand and looked around. After confirming that she was not injured, he looked up at Grandma Ji, "What do you want to say."
"Our Ji family also has some contacts in the Monster Management Bureau. As long as I say a word, they will save face and stop pursuing your affairs." Grandma Ji had a smile on her face, with a sense of confidence that everything was under control, " They looked at my face before, and the things you made caused the audience to have a little bad impression, so they dare not touch you for the time being. But this is only temporary, you must know that time is the best thing, as long as It will take a little while for people to forget about it, do you think the Yokai Management Bureau will continue to tolerate you?"
Ji Xi naturally knew that the monster management bureau would not retreat for the rest of his life, and he never thought that there would be the Ji family's reasons. But if she was to stay in this old house for this reason, she absolutely disagreed.
"You don't have to refuse in such a hurry, you can stay for one night and reply to me tomorrow." Grandma Ji got up, "Don't worry, it won't really be like a curse saying that you will die after staying for one night."
"No, I can give you an answer now."
"oh?"
"I reject."
Grandma Ji paused with confidence, "Do you know what you're going to say?"
"I said I refused." After Ji Xi finished speaking, he pulled Ji Cao and left without looking back.
Looking at their backs, Grandma Ji slowly stretched out her hand, clenched it tightly, and then let go.
As long as it develops normally, Ji Xi will always change his current thinking. After all, the Monster Management Bureau will not tolerate a monster with lethality walking around in the world. It not only endangers the safety of human beings, but also destroys their purpose, and even makes them lose face.
That being the case, she can help give some motivation. Thinking of this, she called out the waiters outside to come in.
Ji's father and Ji's mother always felt weird staying inside, so they went back to the car outside and waited. When the two of them got into the car, Mother Ji couldn't help but ask, "What did you say? It's been so long. Also, your face is a bit ugly. Did something happen?"
"It's nothing." Ji Xi restrained his mind and squeezed out a smile. She didn't want her family to know about this, so she said lightly, "I just felt that the grass was raw, so I called over to ask a few words. I didn't ask anything, I just asked about my daily life."
Why does it take more than half an hour to ask a few words? Ji's mother and her husband looked at each other, but they didn't expose her lie.
Ji's mother turned her head to look at the gloomy old house, then looked back at her husband beside her, "If you're okay, husband, drive quickly, I always feel uncomfortable staying here."
Ji's father also felt this way. I don't know if it was because of the funeral, or because there were so many people, it was very depressing in the house, and it was only when he came out that he felt a little more comfortable. Thinking of this, he quickly started the car.
As soon as the car started, a figure rushed out. Ji Cao, who was sitting in the back, blinked, feeling that the little girl blocking the car was a little familiar.
By the way, isn't it the little girl who complained about Grandma Ji's speech and was called "Xiaoxiao"
Ji's father got out of the car quickly and asked if he had hit it.
"I'm fine." The man waved his hand, pointing at Ji Xi, "I want to talk to this young lady."
Ji's father saw Ji Xi along her fingers, and was a little puzzled, "Xiao Xi?"
Ji Xi was called, and opened the door to get out of the car, followed by Ji Cao quickly followed Ji Xi like a little tail.
"What do you want from me?" Ji Xi pulled her, "We know each other?"
"I don't know, but you want to know about this old house?" The girl looked at Ji Xi with burning eyes, "Isn't that why the old woman came to you just now?"
Ji Xi paused, "How do you know?"
The girl shrugged, "Let's talk about it." After Ji Xi nodded, the girl nodded to Ji's father and Ji's mother, "Uncle and aunt, I will borrow them for a few minutes first."
Ji's father and Ji's mother were at a loss, but since Ji Xi had no objection, they naturally couldn't say anything, they just told them uneasy, "Remember to come back early."
"Yeah." Ji Xi nodded, and then followed with Ji Cao.
The girl glanced at Ji Cao and frowned, "I'm only telling you."
"Then there's no need." Ji Xi made a gesture and pulled Ji Cao to turn around and leave.
"Eh? Wait a minute." Ji Xiaoxiao didn't expect Ji Xi to be so decisive, so he left as soon as he said it, and quickly reached out to stop them, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now. Then let her go together."
Only then did Ji Xi let her lead the way with satisfaction.
Ji Cao followed, tilting her head and saying, "I'm not an outsider."
Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them, seeming to understand something.
