The world passes very quickly, most of the year has passed, and on the day of the New Year's Lantern Festival, every household in the village has cut the window grilles and raised the lanterns, although the village is not big, but it is also full of joy.

When the village was lively and peaceful, the old couple moved a table in the courtyard, brewed a pot of good tea, and tasted it leisurely, and a little doll wearing a red cloth belly pocket and a piece of jade hanging around his neck next to him played by himself. At this moment, "suddenly", a rapid sound of horses' hooves came. Immediately afterwards, someone was heard shouting:

"Oh no, the horse thief is coming!"

Then there was the chaotic sound of crackling and colliding things, interspersed with the sound of horses' hooves, roars, screams, cries, whips, and screams.

Soon a group of horse thieves rushed in, and in the face of the villagers with hoes, spears and kitchen knives, the horse thieves destroyed the resistance of the villagers at almost no cost.

But fortunately, the horse thief did not kill them all, but only hacked and wounded a few resistants, mainly three or five young men and a few old men, and then began to search everywhere.

The search was soon over, and when he was leaving, a horse thief fell in love with a doll wearing a red belly pocket in a woman's arms, or to be exact, the jade on the doll's neck.

There are words on this jade, and the old couple are illiterate, but the old gentleman who wrote a letter for the village has seen it, saying that this jade is a good thing, which can ward off evil spirits and keep peace, and also said that this jade is born with his own doll, and he is afraid that he will not be able to live without this jade doll.

Since then, the couple has regarded this jade as more important than their own lives, and will not leave their children for a moment. At this time, he saw that the thief was going to grab the jade, so he desperately resisted, but he was hacked to death by the impatient horse thief leader one by one, and turned around and slapped the horse thief.

Just as the horse thief leader was about to deal with the baby, a middle-aged Taoist flew over the valley and let out a loud cry when he saw this scene.

"A group of beasts that are not as good as pigs and dogs don't even let go of such a small doll. ”

After saying that, he flew down, and a true qi shot out, and the horse thief leader and his horse were instantly turned into ashes. When the remaining horse thieves saw that some immortals had made a move, they immediately scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions.

The middle-aged man's heart moved, and all those who ran away were turned into ashes. The rest of the horse thieves, who were too slow to react and had no time to run, immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The Taoist didn't say much, each of them broke a finger out of thin air, ten fingers connected to the heart, the severe pain made a dry horse thief roll the whites of his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth, no one dared to scream.

"Just a finger, you can't stand it, before you do it, those injured and dead people on the ground, have you ever thought about them? Today is just a small punishment, if I find out that you are doing evil everywhere in the future, then don't blame me for bullying the small men ruthlessly!"

After taking care of the rest, the Taoist left with the baby. The village was in a mess, and the old couple's home was no longer lively, only the pot of tea that had long been cold and no one cared about...

...

"I happened to pass by here, but I didn't want to save your life, so it seems that you doll has some fate with me! ”

The doll in her arms opened her eyes and stared curiously at the Taoist in front of her, which made the Taoist laugh spontaneously.

"I forgot that you still don't understand, how can I talk so much to a little doll", laughed after speaking, and the clouds went away.

...

Time flies quickly, the doll is very smart, and within two years she will be able to run, jump, speak and scream, and the Taoist plans to give him a name.

"When I rescued you back then, I heard the rest of the villagers say, your father's surname is Jia, and he calls you Jia Bao on weekdays, if it is an ordinary person's family, it can be called. It's just that now that you've been brought back by me and entered my righteous sect, there is a chance that you will embark on the path of cultivation, so if you call such a name again, wouldn't it be a joke to say it?

Since your surname is Jia and you have a piece of treasure jade on your body, then call you Jia Baoyu. has the same surname as me, which can be regarded as fate, so that we are more like father and son. From now on you will be my son, and henceforth you shall be treated as father and son.

First, it is more beautiful and appropriate, and secondly, it is not much different from your father and mother calling your name, and it can be regarded as a thought for your father, no matter what, it is also a birth to you, and there is no virtue of nurturing and the grace of childbirth. ”

The doll nodded as if she didn't understand, and then jumped up and down happily, shouting incessantly:

"Yes, I have a name, my name is Jia Baoyu, Baoyu's treasure, Baoyu's jade. ”

...

Time flies quickly, Jia Baoyu grew to twelve years old, these years Jia Baoyu is very skinny, Taoist people taught him to study, he didn't read well, he didn't speak, and he fought everywhere to cause trouble. It's just that the sect is full of cultivators, even some miscellaneous servants will do a trick and a half, not to mention that many people are sent to the mountain at the age of ten to start practicing, Jia Baoyu is often beaten to the point of disgrace.

But he was tough, and he was not afraid of how to beat him, and those disciples in the sect saw that he was brought up the mountain by the real person in charge of the sect, and he followed the master to read and write every day, and they didn't dare to really do anything to him, so they often arranged him, saying that he was a mongrel that no one wanted, and Jia Yu was always so angry that he fought with them, but he lost every time.

"Baoyu, you didn't study in the room just now, why did you go to fight with people again", the real person in charge of the sect looked at Jia Baoyu, who was bruised and gray-faced, and secretly ran back, and stopped him.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago, although you have not officially joined the church, but you are no different from them, those people are your senior brothers, why do you always fight with them, and now you can't fight. ”

Jia Baoyu spat on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of bullshit brother is that, what if you can't beat it, life is only once in the world, I am a cheap life, what can I do if I fight with them, it's just a death, I, Jia Baoyu, stand up to the sky, and I'm not afraid of death, let alone them!"

When Jia Baoyu said that he was angry, he was filled with righteous indignation and righteousness, and the real person in charge of the sect looked at the doll he brought back, slightly surprised.

In the past ten years, I have secretly tested his spiritual root, and his talent is really average, and now the Zhengyi Sect is also a big sect, and this kind of talent is not enough to see in the teaching, so he has not taught him to practice, but let him study.

It's just that he didn't pay attention to studying, so he read some messy books and learned some exquisite naughty. The head coach didn't want to waste his hard work, so he scolded him a lot, but he just listened to what he said, not like what a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to say, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to comfort him:

"At a young age, talk about life and death, let them say whatever they like, you won't lose a piece of meat, just fart it. ”

"But I just can't be angry, they scold me, I'm going to beat them", Jia Baoyu clenched his fists, and his little face turned red.

After hearing this, the master sighed and shook his head slightly, Jia Yu has been fighting for so many years, although others dare not scold Baoyu in front of him, how others scold him, to say that he doesn't know at all, it must be impossible.

"Baoyu, in fact, it's all to blame for my father, I also saw that you were too young back then, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to stand the blow, so I didn't tell you about your life experience, but for so many years, you have been calling me father, but my father is too incompetent. ”

Speaking of this, the real person in charge closed his eyes, sighed, and continued after a long time:

"Now that you are sensible, you can know, it is indeed a little cruel to say, but the grace of childbirth, you still need to know as a child. The Father is telling you now, are you ready?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head, and said a little choked:

"Father, you don't need to say it anymore, I've heard some more or less over the years, it's nothing more than that I'm not your biological flesh and blood, you picked it up from the outside. If you don't tell me, it's nothing more than that my biological parents have already died, it's nothing, I just think that I was born of heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are my parents. ”

Hearing this, the master taught the real person a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he didn't expect that he had hidden it for so many years, Baoyu himself had already guessed it, and it was not bad at all. What's more important is that it is not easy for him to see so openly at a young age, and it is not easy to say the words of heaven and earth parents. You know, this sentence is that many old monsters who have practiced for tens or hundreds of years may not be able to understand this truth, and they can't help but sigh secretly in their hearts:

"This son's comprehension is really not simple, if the talent is a little higher, the future achievements will be limitless, it's a pity!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, and said, "You go on, since you already understand, why do you want to fight with them?"

"Because, because", saying this, Jia Baoyu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say it, so he only got it, "They not only scolded me, but also scolded you, father, so I want to beat them and tear their mouths." ”

Hearing this, the face of the real person in charge of the sect sank, and when Baoyu said this, he naturally understood, although he had not heard it with his own ears, he could guess it. So he said in a deep voice:

"It doesn't matter, what they scold you, you can just tell the truth. ”

Jia Baoyu hesitated for a long time, and then seemed to understand, and said in a low voice, "What they said is very ugly, basically speaking, I am the child you gave birth to with a mortal woman outside, so my talent is very poor, so you are afraid that the scandal will be exposed, so you won't let me practice." ”

After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, the face of the real person in charge of the sect was already gloomy and about to drip water, and the teacup in his hand suddenly dissipated like mist, leaving only a ball of tea floating in the palm of his hand.

Jia Baoyu had never seen the father who brought him back so angry, and this was the first time he had seen his father do it. This hand is stronger than the group of disciples who can't beat themselves and can only throw fireballs, I don't know how many times.

Just when Jia Baoyu was a little stunned, the tea in the hand of the real person in charge of the sect disappeared out of thin air, only to see him stand up, flick his big sleeves, turn around and put his hand behind his back, and said after a long time:

"Soon the day of recruiting new disciples this year is coming, you can start practicing with this group of disciples at that time", hearing this, Jia Yu was overjoyed, and was about to thank his father, but was interrupted by his father's words.

"Don't be happy first, today you are weaker than them, even if you are the son of the master, they dare to scold you. If tomorrow they are better than my father, then they will scold me. The Immortal Cultivation Realm has always been so cruel, everything is based on strength, not to see who can work harder. Do you understand that?"

Seeing Jia Yu nodded, the master continued:

"Your talent has already been tested for you by your father, and it is indeed not good, so once you embark on the path of cultivation, you are destined to be very difficult. However, God rewards hard work, and God has also left a way back for those with average talent, but this road requires far more diligence and opportunity than ordinary people, and this is destined to make this road even more difficult. ”

"Besides, once you start practicing, I won't give you special care, whether you are my own flesh or blood. I can take care of you today, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, not to mention that there is a heaven outside the sky, I am not an ancient great sect, and there are even more people who are stronger than me, if one day in the future my father can't protect himself, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu knelt on the ground, knocked his head three times, clenched his fist tightly, and said loudly:

"A man is born in heaven and earth, and he should stand on top of heaven and earth, but how can he always be under the shadow of others. If there is such a day in the future, the child should stand up to repay the kindness of parenting. If it is still invincible, then it should be the will of heaven, and it is worthy of it!"

"Okay! What a child who stands up to the sky and the earth, and is worthy of being a child brought back by his father, he is so hard-hearted, and with this courage alone, how many people can be higher than you! Hahahaha."

A few days later, Jia Baoyu followed an elder out to recruit immortal disciples.
