939、Irreversible destiny (2)
"That's right."
Bai Jue said so casually, but he didn't expect that the next second Mr. Jian would directly confirm his words.
"Grandpa, what is the identity of grandma? Didn't grandma say that her family drove her out after failing to do business, and then she founded the Jian family with you?" Jian Luo frowned and was completely dizzy.
"That's just a trick to show outsiders." Mr. Jian said.
Jane Luo, “Ah?”
"Your grandmother actually comes from a mysterious tribe, which is isolated from the world and is good at using the art of controlling Gu. The tribe selects a new saint every twenty years. Each one is respected by people in the tribe and has supreme status, but compared to this, being a saint also has to pay a huge price." Mr. Jian was a little heavy when talking about the past.
"Every saint must remain pure and can never get married and have children. Moreover, every saint spends his life learning the art of controlling Gu every day. He has to calculate his fortune for the tribe every few years. It is said that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Peeping at the chance of heaven will damage a person's life span. Every saint will not live to be forty years old."
The needle fell sounded, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
No one would have thought that there was such a story behind it, and that their grandmother actually had such an identity.
Jian Qing's eyes gradually turned cold, as if one mystery was gradually being solved, and another bigger mystery was coming towards them.
"Grandpa, did Shen Hua and his parents also come out of that tribe? What happened later?" asked Black Jack.
I don’t know what I remembered, Mr. Jian’s solemn expression eased a little, and a smile climbed up to the corner of his mouth, “Maybe it’s fate. I was just a poor boy who punched someone in the black market. Because I didn’t want to continue living like that, I ran away, but was chased by those people and finally forced into a dead end by them. I thought that instead of being caught and tortured to death, I would rather jump into the sea and maybe there would be a glimmer of life.”
As he said that, the scene of meeting his wife for the first time could not help but appear in his mind. His deep and clear facial features and gentle smile were his greatest attachment in his life.
"I chose to jump into the sea. When I woke up, I was in your grandma's tribe. Originally, the tribe did not allow outsiders to enter. It was your grandma who saved me and hid me. Otherwise, I would have been beaten to death by the tribe's people and threw it out." He said calmly, but in fact, only he understood the dangers.
"What happened later?" Bai Jue's curiosity was mobilized.
Mr. Jian’s wrinkled face rarely showed a blush, and he cleared his throat, "I just pursue your grandmother, and then we planned to escape, but was discovered by the elders in the tribe. A big battle was fought. Shen Hua and his father were your grandmother's guards. He died in that battle to help us."
"After that, you and grandma destroyed that tribe and founded the Jian family in Country M?" Jian Luo asked.
Mr. Jian nodded, "After the war, my grandmother and grandmother's cousin came to M Country together. All the techniques of controlling Gu in that tribe were destroyed by your grandmother. At the same time, your grandmother also vowed not to use Gu in the art of controlling Gu from now on, nor to use her own lifespan to do things that spy on the secrets of heaven."
Jian Luo suddenly realized.
"Grandpa Jian, do you have any conflicts with you? Why have we never seen them in so many years?" Bai Jue asked, "You have never mentioned them either."
"well!"
Mr. Jian sighed long, "Chen Hua and Shen Yan are two years older than Wei Wei. Since childhood, they have held Wei Wei as a sister in their hands and pampered him. Wei Wei also likes to play with them. Compared to Chen Hua, Wei Wei prefers to get together with Shen Yan. Every time they make pranks, Chen Hua helps them clean up the mess. Every time they scold the two, they will continue to indulge them next time. To be honest, Chen Hua is a good brother. Sometimes Wei Wei and Shen Yan cause trouble, Chen Hua helps them cover up. The three of them are often scolded by me together."
Black Jack looked at Jane Luo and asked, "Since they have such a good relationship, why did they have a conflict with you?"
Mr. Jian said, "Chen Yan was born with a congenital heart disease. He was in poor health since childhood. He had a fever and became sick every few days. Because Chen Hua and Weiwei took care of him very carefully. Chen Hua has been running around for Chen Yan's illness, and wanted to find a suitable heart to change Chen Yan. But the situation did not go as expected. He never found a suitable heart. Chen Yan's condition has been worsening."
Halfway through, he paused and then said, "Later, Chen Hua didn't know where to know Xiao Qing'er and his grandmother knew the Gu control technique, so he wanted Xiao Qing'er and his grandmother to use Gu control technique to control Chen Yan's condition and avoid him from being tortured by grief. After I learned about this, I talked to Chen Hua and told him that this was impossible."
"He still doesn't give up?" Jian Qingyou said.
Mr. Jian nodded, "Well, after that conversation, our relationship became a little terrible. Later, he heard my grandmother and I talked with Xiao Qing'er in the study. I wouldn't let your grandmother use the Gu control technique, and she wouldn't let her use her lifespan to help Chen Yan calculate her lifespan. After that, Chen Hua had a fight with us. Chen Yan was sick at the time, and he left with Chen Yan overnight while we were not paying attention."
"Then you never saw each other again?" Jian Luo asked.
"Well, we have been sending people to look for them, but Chen Hua is determined to hide from us, and we can't find anyone." Mr. Jian said, "Chen Hua has a stubborn temper and it is difficult for him to change his mind when he determines it. On the contrary, Chen Yan has a gentle personality. Many times he has come to advise us not to worry about him. He is a very good child. I can understand Chen Hua. He also wants his younger brother to get better quickly, so I don't blame him."
People in the tribe are very afraid of swearing. Once they break their vows and use the Gu control technique, they dare not gamble. They cannot joke about the life of the person he loves the most.
"But grandpa, why do you think Chen Hua is dead?" Jian Qing recalled the shock that flashed across his face when the old man heard Chen Hua just now.
"After Chen Hua and the others disappeared, Wei Wei disappeared. When we were busy looking for Wei Wei, we suddenly received a letter, which was written by Chen Yan, with the news of Chen Hua's death. In just a few strokes, it was not clear what exactly was Chen Hua's death."
Mr. Jian clicked on his phone, looked at the yellowed photo, and smiled bitterly, "Actually, Chen Hua didn't know. In fact, Xiao Qing'er and his grandmother's heart matched Shen Yan. Xiao Qing'er and his grandmother had already planned to do so. After she passed away, her heart would be donated to Chen Yan. Chen Hua said we were cold-blooded. In fact, he didn't know that even if Xiao Qing'er and his grandmother did not use the art of controlling the Gu, they would not live to be sixty years old. This is the greatest sorrow of being a saint, and the irreversible destiny."
