The year my mother gave birth to me was a snowy day.

Outside, there was goose feather snow, almost a foot high.

With such a heavy snowstorm, it stands to reason that it should be closed.

But outside the courtyard of our house, it was densely packed with people.

These people didn't come to celebrate my birthday, but they wanted to take advantage of my mother's weakness and kill my mother and me who was about to be born.

The reason is that my father Li Wen washed half of the rivers and lakes in blood.

The reason why my father is so strong is that he can slaughter half of the rivers and lakes.

It's because my father is a celestial master.

The Heavenly Master is subordinate to Taoism and can learn Taoist mysticism.

In those days, Taoism was a symbol of power, and occultism had the power to turn decay into magic.

It can be said that if you become a Heavenly Master, you can basically live a life beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And my father, Li Wen, is not only a Heavenly Master, but also a top existence among Heavenly Masters.

It can be said that as long as there is a person with a head and a face, or a famous sect, as long as they hear the word Li Wen, they all call their father Li Tianwang.

At that time, my father was almost at the top of the Taoist pyramid.

But no one expected that his father, who had become the core existence of Taoism, would betray Taoism for no reason, and after stabbing several Venerables, he would start a bloody slaughter.

Even at that time, not only Taoists, but almost all sects were slaughtered by their father's iron-blooded methods.

Even my father's good friends were no exception, and some were even wiped out directly.

Because of his father, the power of the rivers and lakes was reshuffled once.

After that time, my father disappeared.

Those who hated their fathers began to look for them everywhere.

But my father was like he had disappeared from the world, and no one could find him.

Unable to find their father, they set their sights on their mother.

That's why on the day I was born, there was this kind of scene of stacking tracks and thousands of people surrounding the courtyard.

My mother gave birth to me in the room, and it was full of people.

My mother and I were about to die.

Aunt Liu rushed here.

Aunt Liu didn't say anything when she came, just went into the house and glanced at my mother, then took a chair and sat at the door, guarding the door of the courtyard.

Aunt Liu's appearance made the people who were originally about to move quiet down again.

"Liu Mei, are you sure you want to protect Li Wen's son! Don't forget who you are, you now represent the whole of Taoism! Someone spoke out unwillingly.

Aunt Liu glanced at everyone, then took out a dagger and stuck it on the chair handle beside her.

In the snowy night, the dagger glowed with cold light in the night, and the faces of the people were pale, but no one dared to speak.

After a night of snowstorms.

The people around our house are long gone, leaving only footprints everywhere and the wicker chair at the door.

No one entered the courtyard until the end.

It didn't take long after I was born.

My mother handed me over to my uncle Wu Yue.

Wu Yue is my father's brother, although the two are brothers, they have grown up together, and my father has always regarded him as an elder brother.

After my mother gave me an uncle, she went to look for my father, and it seems that only my mother knows where my father is.

And since then, I have been raised by my uncle.

My uncle's personality is very honest and spoils me very much.

No matter how naughty I am, I won't say anything more.

Once, in the middle of winter, when I was playing a cannon fight, I lit the grass pile in the backyard of my neighbor's house, and the raging fire burned down all of his house.

After the uncle found out, he just laughed and gave money to others, and did not scold me.

But there is one thing that I never dare to disobey him.

That is, my uncle never allowed me to mention my father's name in front of outsiders.

Once I was playing a game with children from my village, and everyone was discussing whose father was better.

Children always have some competitive hearts.

It was also the first time I mentioned my father in front of outsiders.

I don't know how Uncle found out about this.

But I clearly remember that my uncle, who never got angry, beat me with a wicker for an hour.

Each whip used all my strength, and the skin on my back was opened.

That time, I lay down for three days before I could barely roll over.

And since that day, my father's name has become a taboo in my heart.

I don't dare to mention it in front of outsiders.

The uncle didn't tell him much about his father, and most of them were things that happened when his father was a child, and he didn't mention anything about what happened after his father became a heavenly master.

In addition to my father's business, there is another thing that my uncle does not allow me to do.

That is, I am not allowed to leave Qinghe Village alone, and I can only play in the village.

At that time, my uncle was afraid that I would be implicated in my father's affairs, so after taking me in his arms, he took me to live in Qinghe Village, a remote mountain village.

Since I have played all over the village, and my friends have gone to school in the town one after another, I can't go out of the village alone.

I didn't have a playmate, so I could only pester my uncle and ask him to take me out.

Later, I may have been annoyed by my entanglement, and one sunny afternoon, my uncle suddenly asked me if I wanted to learn occult arts.

I was overjoyed.

I have asked my uncle what metaphysics is before, and I also said that I want to learn it, but my uncle never agreed.

Now that he actually took the initiative to teach me occult arts, I was very happy.

I later learned that I was happy too soon.

Taoist metaphysics contains a lot, what Zhou Yi, charms, body arts, pulse gates, and so on.

And there is a specialization in the art industry.

Uncle is only proficient in the most hard-working physical arts.

The pre-physical exercise requires a lot of aerobic exercise.

Every time I finished tossing, I almost fell asleep and never yelled to go out to play again.

Although the daily exercise is hard, the benefits of physical skills are gradually revealed.

I'm in exceptionally good health and almost never get sick.

I can even feel a stream of air in my body running on Sunday, which makes me very comfortable, and my body is much lighter than ordinary people.

On this day, I practiced by the bamboo forest in the back mountain as usual.

Suddenly, a bloated orange-red figure ran towards me, and when I got closer, it was an orange cat.

"Big orange, why are you here?" I stopped and gently touched its head.

Big orange is a house cat raised by the uncle, and it is very psychic.

It walked up to my feet and rubbed against my shoes.

"Meow~"

It called softly.

I immediately understood what it meant, it should be my uncle looking for me.

This bamboo forest is close to the stream, and it is rarely visited, so it has always been regarded as my back garden, and only my uncle knows that I am usually here.

"Let's go." I picked up the big orange and felt the heaviness.

"Big orange, it's time for you to lose weight!"

"Meow~" it screamed softly.

It seems to be protesting.

"Go home."

Then I moved and walked through the bamboo forest at a very fast speed.

The scenery around me kept changing, and soon I was in the village.

It was late at night, and there was no one in the village.

I looked around.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the left and right, I stepped on the roof several times in a row, jumped lightly, and landed firmly in the courtyard of my house.

"Perfect." I smiled.

"Ahem...... "Just when I'm proud."

Suddenly, a man's cough came from behind.

I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, when I looked back, my uncle was watching me not far behind me.

"Stinky boy, didn't you usually ask you not to use physical skills in the village!"

Uncle had told me not to show occultism in the village.

It's over, and I'm going to have to be beaten again, and I secretly complain in my heart.

Strangely, this time the uncle didn't say anything, but walked into the house by himself.

When I saw this, I naturally followed.

"Take this."

Uncle walked up to the cabinet and took out a wooden box and handed it to me.

"What is this?"

I looked at the wooden box.

It is a sandalwood box, the appearance is very exquisite, there are two dragons and phoenixes lying on it, and it is a very valuable thing at first glance.

"Your mother kept it for you."

When I heard the word mother, my heart trembled slightly.

Uncle continued. "This box was left to me by your mother when she gave you to me, and she said I would give it to you on your eighteenth birthday, and today happens to be your eighteenth birthday."

It turns out that today is my birthday, and I forgot it.

I looked at the box in my hand and was a little dazed for a moment.

Mother, a familiar and unfamiliar title.

I heard my uncle say that my mother is the most beautiful woman my uncle has ever seen, and she is also the love of my father Li Wen's life.

When my father and mother met on Fukuzawa Island, my father missed my mother every day as if he had lost his soul, and he kept talking about Sister Fairy.

Even a large part of the reason why my father stepped into the line of Heavenly Master was because of my mother.

The uncle said that his mother was also very strong, almost not much weaker than his father. If that hadn't happened, I would have become the envy of other people's children.

Uncle saw my strangeness and said.

"I know that over the years, you still have a trace of resentment in your heart, but in fact, your mother left you with me for your safety, and you shouldn't blame her. What's in the box, you can take a look at it anyway. ”

"I'll go out first."

Then the uncle closed the door and left.

Under the lamplight, I quietly looked at the box on the table, and my mind was very confused.

There weren't many things in the box, just a letter, a red letter of appointment, and a golden scepter.

I glanced at the letter of appointment, and it was a girl named Zou Yu.

And the letter my mother left me was about the letter of appointment and the scepter.

"Xiao'er, when you read this letter, it means that you have grown up. Presumably, you should have resented your mother and your father over the years. ”

"Mother is sorry for you, she left you when you were young, and let you bear everything alone. But you have to do it to protect you. ”

"Presumably your uncle has already told you that your father's enemies are all over the hot summer, and if you follow us, you will face endless hunting and killing every day. For my mother, I don't want you to run around for your life when you are born. This is very unfair to you, for the mother wants to give you a stable childhood. ”

So my mother can only make this decision ruthlessly and hand you over to your uncle. Your uncle grew up with your father, and I think he should take good care of you. ”

"You should be eighteen years old now, and you should be very handsome, it seems to look at your appearance, but unfortunately you shouldn't be able to do it now."

As I read through the lines, my eyes turned red and my nose became sour.

In the first few pages, every line is a message of missing me.

There are even a few crumples on the letterhead.

I guess something dripped on my face when I was writing the letter.

I think it's probably tears.

Suddenly the only resentment I had against my mother was gone.

As I looked at them one by one, I finally turned to the last page.

It's also an explanation of the two things inside the box.

"The contents of Xiao'er's box, you should have seen it, this letter of appointment was made by your father for you and Zou Yu, the eldest lady of the Zou family. I can't tell you much about your father now, but after going through it, you will understand that many things in this world are not as simple as you think. ”

"You have seen the scepter in the chest, and this thing is a dowry left to you by your father. As long as you take this scepter and go to the Zou family to hand it over to Zou Ling, and marry his daughter, then the Zou family will definitely protect you, and with the status of the Extreme Yin Chamber of Commerce in the rivers and lakes, no one should trouble you. ”

"Of course, if you are not satisfied with your father's arrangement, you can also withdraw from the marriage."

"Remember, no matter what, you have to go to the Zou family, even if you don't marry, you have to let me know, don't delay others."

"In addition, if you don't marry, you will take this scepter to Ivory Mountain and bury it under the stone tablet behind the Taoist temple on the mountain, so that outsiders must not see this scepter! Let him be buried deep in the ground, as your father wills. ”

"Other than that, there's one thing you should remember! In today's world, you can only trust three people, one is Liu Mei of Taoism, one is Zou Ling, the head of the Extreme Yin Chamber of Commerce, and the other is your uncle Wu Yue. ”

"If one day in the future you have a big problem that you can't solve, you can go to the first two people. With your father's friendship, they will definitely help you. ”

"Mother loves you, and your father loves you,"

When I saw the last sentence, my tears finally remained.

The grievances suffered over the years have all disappeared at this moment.

At the same time, strong thoughts welled up in my heart.

Mother, father, where are you?

That night, I didn't sleep all night, constantly reading my mother's letters, and turning all my thoughts into them.

At the same time, an idea sprouted in my heart, to go to the Zou family in the land of Qilu.

The next day, it was dawn.

Uncle walked in.

When I saw my uncle, I just wanted to speak.

Uncle waved his hand.

"Stinky boy, don't tell your uncle anything, go do it! Starting today, Uncle supports you in any choice. ”

Although the uncle said it heroically, I could feel the reluctance in his eyes.

In his eyes, I was already his own child.
