Upstairs in Zhutian Tower, Li Daoyi saw with his own eyes that Mengmeng returned the things to Jiang Ziya, and he was relieved.
"This kid is so naughty." Li Daoyi said helplessly.
"Hahaha, Meng Meng's innocent heart is just for fun." Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile.
"What do we need to do next?" Kong Xuan asked.
"Don't worry, although the catastrophe has begun, it has not officially arrived yet. It needs a process." Li Daoyi said.
However, Jiang Ziya breathed a deep sigh of relief after regaining the list of gods. He raised his head and looked at the Zhutian Tower, which was less than a hundred meters away from him. He hesitated for a moment, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.
Then Jiang Ziya came to the outer city of Chaoge City and found a dental shop. Under the introduction of the other party, he came to a simple courtyard.
"Guest, let me tell you, this family was originally the grandfather and grandson, but they became prosperous a few years ago. I heard that they met a nobleman and moved to a better place. Before leaving, they moved this small courtyard It's listed in the dental store and it's said that it only rents to honest people. I see that you are young and don't look like a bad person, so I'll give you a good deal." said the clerk at the dental store.
Jiang Ziya looked around the small courtyard. There were only two rooms, but they were very clean, which was in line with his idea of being low-key.
"Okay, this is it." Jiang Ziya nodded.
"Okay, guest, let's sign the contract right now." The ADB guy said happily.
After everything was done, Jiang Ziya finally moved into this small courtyard.
There was also a pear tree in the courtyard, which was now full of pears. Jiang Ziya liked it very much. With a wave of his hand, a deck chair appeared under the tree, and he lay down comfortably.
"Why..."
When he thought about what had just happened, he still felt a little scared, and the cute and cute look appeared in his mind again.
"What a naughty and magical child." Jiang Ziya murmured.
There are actually two reasons why Jiang Ziya settled in Chaoge. One is that the time mentioned by Yuanshi Tianzun has not yet come, so he still needs to wait for the opportunity. The second is that he wants to get to know today's Dashang. After all, Yuanshi Tianzun has given His mission was to overthrow and end Great Shang, so he wanted to understand the reason, what made the saint choose to end it, and he knew what it meant, war.
In the midst of his wild thoughts, Jiang Ziya fell asleep in a daze. During this hard journey, he encountered Mengmeng causing trouble again, and he was tired due to mental and physical exhaustion.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ziya was awakened by a knock on the door. He quickly reached out and touched his arms. He was relieved when he saw that the list of gods was still there.
"Really, I actually slept all night." Jiang Ziya said in disbelief.
"Dong dong..."
"Is anyone home?"
A girl's voice came.
"Strange..." Jiang Ziya was a little confused. He had just moved in, why did someone come to his door?
Then he stood up and walked to the door, opened the door bolt, opened the door, and saw an old man and a young man standing at the door.
"Ah, grandma, someone really lives here." The girl exclaimed. She was about twelve or thirteen years old, very youthful and lively.
And the old man was an old woman in her sixties. The old woman was dressed simply, but her clothes were made of precious fabrics.
"Who are you?" Jiang Ziya was a little confused.
"Ah, I'm sorry, my grandma and I were on the street this morning when we heard from a dental shop that you rented this place. Let's come and have a look." The girl said quickly.
"Old sir, this was originally the home of Niuniu and I." The old woman smiled.
Jiang Ziya suddenly realized that this was the homeowner.
"Oh, please come in, please come in." Jiang Ziya quickly turned sideways.
These two people are Shen Gongbao's godmother, and the girl is Niu Niu.
"Ah, grandma, look, there are so many pears, I haven't eaten them for a long time." Niu Niu said excitedly, looking at the pears on the tree.
At this time, the old woman was staring at Jiang Ziya, looking up and down.
"Uh..." Jiang Ziya looked a little confused, but out of politeness he just smiled awkwardly.
"Grandma?" Niu Niu shouted in confusion when she saw that her grandma ignored her.
"It looks like, it really looks like," the old woman said.
“......”
"Grandma, what did you say?" Niuniu asked.
"This old gentleman looks similar to an old friend of mine."
"What old friend?" Niuniu asked.
Jiang Ziya also looked at the old woman with a puzzled look.
"Hey, let's not mention it. It's been more than ten years since he died." The old woman sighed.
"Yeah, I know." Niu Niu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Jiang Ziya looked at the girl curiously.
"Hehe, grandma, I know who you are talking about. It's grandpa, right?" Niu Niu said with a smile.
"You kid, you have such a good memory." The old man said angrily.
"Well, let me think about it, Feixiong, right? You call him Brother Feixiong. You have often mentioned before that you are still from the same village." Niuniu said.
"Don't talk nonsense and make people laugh." The old man's face suddenly turned red.
At this time, Jiang Ziya was stunned and stiff. He could only be seen staring at the old woman in a daze. The face of the old woman in front of him gradually overlapped with that of a delicate woman.
"Su Rong."
Jiang Ziya murmured.
The old woman raised her head in shock. Su Rong was her real name, but no one except her son and granddaughter knew it. Now she was actually called out.
"Eh..." Niu Niu also looked at Jiang Ziya in surprise. This person actually knew her grandma's name.
The old woman's body began to tremble, and then she fell backward.
"Grandma." Niu Niu quickly reached out to help her and screamed in fright.
However, Jiang Ziya was faster than her and supported the old woman.
Then a burst of true energy passed through.
"grandmother..."
Niu Niu was so frightened that she almost burst into tears.
Soon, the old woman slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Ziya's face.
"Brother Fei Xiong, is it really you?" The old woman stretched out her hand and touched Jiang Ziya's face. Jiang Ziya trembled slightly but did not avoid it.
Niuniu on the side covered her mouth in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Yes...yes...it's me." Jiang Ziya replied with some difficulty.
"Snapped..."
The old woman slapped Jiang Ziya hard on the face.
"Grandma." Niu Niu quickly helped the person over.
Jiang Ziya touched his cheek blankly, his face full of shame.
"You're alive, you're still alive."
"More than ten years have passed and you are still alive." The old man murmured.
"Yes, I'm still alive, Xiaorong, I..." Jiang Ziya wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Jiang Ziya's thoughts returned to the West more than ten years ago, to that small village.
It turns out that Jiang Ziya was the old woman's lover, and Fei Xiong was Jiang Ziya's Taoist name. Although it was said to be a Taoist name, in fact, since he was born, this name has been deeply imprinted in his mind, and so it became his nickname.
Jiang Ziya left home at the age of thirty to seek immortality. Before that, he had a lover who was more than ten years younger than him. It was Su Rong. Su Rong did not dislike him for being poor and alone. She often went to cook and wash for him. Every time Jiang Ziya caught him The Su family would send fish or chopped firewood to her family. The Su family was very simple and did not object because of the age difference between the two. In the end, the two came together.
Just when everyone in the village was blessing the two of them, one day Jiang Ziya seemed to have changed. He told everyone that he was going to seek immortality and seek Taoism. Regardless of Su Rong's pleading, he finally left the village without hesitation. This time he left the West Ten Two years.
"Why? Since you're not dead, why don't you come back?" the old woman, Su Rong, asked with tears streaming down her face.
"I..." Jiang Ziya had a complicated expression and didn't know how to speak.
On the day when he had just turned thirty, a Taoist priest appeared in his dream, telling him that he was destined to be an immortal, and asked him to go to Kunlun to seek Taoism.
After Jiang Ziya, who had felt that he was different since he was a child, woke up, he had a strong desire to go to Kunlun. This idea was like a curse. He did not hesitate at all. Even if Su Rong cried and persuaded him, he would finally go to Kunlun. After embarking on the road of seeking immortality and seeking the Tao, he finally arrived at Kunlun Mountain after spending nearly two years.
At this time, the old woman wiped her tears and looked deeply at Jiang Ziya, with a flash of disappointment in her eyes.
"Niuniu, let's go."
"grandmother..."
"Let's go home."
"good."
Niu Niu had no choice but to help her grandma and walk out the door. When she was done, the little girl looked back at Jiang Ziya, hesitated, made a mouth shape to Jiang Ziya, and said something like "Xi".
Jiang Ziya stared blankly at the two people's leaving figures, his mind filled with the words Niu Niu had just mouthed.
"Goodbye Grandpa."
"grandfather?"
"grandfather..."
Jiang Ziya was stunned. The child called her grandpa. By the way, she seemed to have mentioned it before.
Jiang Ziya recalled that when Su Rong looked familiar to her, the little girl seemed to have mentioned that her grandfather was Fei Xiong.
"No...how is that possible? No way." Jiang Ziya murmured.
"She had my child back then?"
An idea suddenly flashed through Jiang Ziya's mind, and then there was a dull pain in his chest, and he slumped on the chair.
"My child...having my child..." This thought swirled in Jiang Ziya's mind.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya only felt grief-stricken. He actually had a child. He couldn't imagine how Su Rong had been here in the past few decades. It was such a terrible thing for an unmarried girl to be pregnant.
"puff..."
Jiang Ziya spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that his Taoist heart was broken at this moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Jiang Ziya lowered his head and kept repeating these words, his face full of regret.
"You are not destined to be immortal, you can only enjoy the wealth and honor of the world." At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun's words came to his mind again.
"Hehe...hehe..."
"No chance? Wealth in the world?"
"Master, you have made me miserable..." Jiang Ziya said with a bitter smile.
