Bao's hometown is a small mountain village near Shouyang City, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister in the family.

By the time she was six years old, the entire village was slaughtered on a seemingly indistinguishable night, and when Po woke up from her sleep the next morning, she was the only survivor of the village.

No one knows why the villagers died tragically, and no one knows why she is alive.

Out of doubt and pity, the disciples who came to investigate the situation brought her back to Penglai, but the elders refused to accept her as an apprentice on the grounds that she was too poor, so she was finally arranged to help in the back kitchen.

Shangya's food was originally in charge of an old man over fifty years old, the old man's surname was Gu, his name was unknown, and everyone called him "Gu Aweng".

Before Ah Bao went up the mountain, there were low-level disciples who went to the kitchen every day to take turns to help the kitchen according to the regulations, and since Ah Bao was arranged to help, the number of disciples who helped the kitchen gradually decreased, until finally almost all the work fell on the heads of Gu Ah Weng and Ah Bao.

Gu Aweng is loyal and takes great care of Bao. When he has nothing to do, Gu Aweng will tell Ah Bao some interesting anecdotes in the fairy gate.

Ah Bao always felt that Gu Ah Weng was knowledgeable and broad-minded, and he was not like the kind of person who had never left Shangya since he was a child and had never seen much of the world. But whenever asked, Gu Aweng always smiled slyly, and then prevaricated with various reasons and excuses.

The more this is the case, the more Ah Bao thinks that Gu Aweng is a person with a story, but he is very low-key.

Except for Gu Aweng, the only person who has the best respect for Ah Bao in the entire Shangyao is Senior Brother Chu Zhaoran.

Completely opposite to Bao, Chu Zhaoran had a master outside the world to criticize him when he fell to the ground, saying that he had the appearance of flying in the day, and his talent was amazing, and he would definitely make great achievements in the future.

Chu Zhaoran came to Shangyao at the age of eight, and the head of the sect Changshengjun was still there, but because Changshengjun had long since ceased to accept apprentices, he turned to worship under the elder Fu Qingzhen. After ten years of practice and experience, he has become the first disciple of the master before he reaches the weak crown. Even the other older or earlier disciples in the sect had to call him "Senior Brother" when they saw him.

However, although Chu Zhaoran has a great talent in Taoism, he was born in a scholarly family, and his father has always hoped that his son can focus on reading. It's a pity that Chu Zhaoran was born without loving the fame of the imperial examination, and he devoted himself to the Qimen Escape Technique, and even ignored his father's opposition to worship and practice in the Xianmen Sect privately, so that even if he is now a well-known young talent in the rivers and lakes, in the eyes of the Chu family, he is still a representative and typical of unfilial piety.

When Chu Zhaoran was thirteen years old, his mother died of depression, and his father continued a year later, and another year later he had another son. Since then, Chu Zhaoran has not set foot in the house much, and has put all his thoughts on cultivation, as if he has settled down in Shangya.

Every time his mother died, he would take advantage of the middle of the night when no one was there to pay a quiet tribute in the back mountain.

It was under this circumstance that Ah Bao met Chu Zhaoran. At that time, Ah Bao was also missing his hometown, and seeing that Chu Zhaoran was depressed because he missed his mother, he couldn't help but feel a relative, so he gave him a sachet with vanilla.

Away from the herb grows next to the Bao'en Temple in Shouyang City, the aroma is pleasant, the peculiar thing is that this grass will lose its aroma when planted in other places, and it will be made into a sachet to wear on the wanderer's body, the farther away from home, the more fragrant it is, so it is famous. The people of Shouyang City and its nearby villages and towns have been living by terminating herbs for generations, and the residents have the habit of wearing incense sachets, and the same is true of Bao's hometown.

She gave the sachet to Chu Zhaoran, hoping to comfort his feelings of missing his relatives. Both of them were uprooted and had nothing to rely on, and over time, the friendship became stronger and stronger like the fragrance of vanilla in this sachet.

The seventh day of the seventh month of July is the day when the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet at the bridge, and it is also Bao's birthday.

When she was thirteen years old, Chu Zhaoran took her to a secluded and uninhabited small peak on the north side of the main peak of Penglai. That night, the night sky was clear, and Chu Zhaoran pointed to the colorful Milky Way above her head that was almost within reach, and told her that it was where the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met.

Every Qixi Festival, the coastal towns west of Penglai Mountain will hold lantern festivals, and countless boys and girls will set off Kong Ming lanterns and lotus lanterns on the seaside. Although Penglai Mountain is far from the coastline, if the weather is good, the wind and currents from the shore will send those colorful lights to Shangya.

People in the world say that Penglai in the East China Sea is a fairy mountain, and all the immortals live on it, and if they write their wishes on the lamp, the immortals will see and let the wishes come true.

Every time he sees those lanterns with wishes written on the shore at the foot of Penglai Mountain, Ah Bao always feels full of emotion. The wishes of mortals are fulfilled with the help of the gods, so who should help them realize the wishes of the gods?

"Bao, do you have any wishes?" Chu Zhaoran saw her looking into the distance, so he asked.

Ah Bao thought for a moment, shook his head, and then gestured to interrogate Chu Zhaoran with the same question.

"Me too." Chu Zhaoran looked at Ah Bao and smiled gently.

After a moment, however, he lowered his eyes again, and fan-like eyelashes obscured his eyes.

"If I had to say it, there was one, and that was the only wish I've always had......"

Po couldn't see his expression clearly, and could only hear the breeze-like sound slowly drifting into his ears.

He said, "Bao, you grow up soon, okay?" ”

……

Po's body shook violently, waking up from her sleep, her heart beating like a drum, and her eardrums trembled. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body, and as soon as the wind blew in the night, the cold air penetrated in, and she shivered several times in a row.

The cold moonlight fell on Bao's clothes through the gaps in the canopy, mottled like broken jade. Po lowered his head, the guy in his arms was sleeping soundly, as if he was dreaming something, squeezing Po's shoulder socket from time to time, and showing a satisfied look.

This made Po feel a little ironic.

She has been in the family for ten years, although she does not cultivate with others, but she is also a nominal disciple, and now she is in trouble, and the person who suffers with her is actually a creature of unknown origin.

Thinking of Yun Yan and the others' attitude towards herself during the day, it is not enough to describe it as "extremely disgusted", if it weren't for Gu Aweng's secret guidance on her luck and sword practice, she would have been fierce and unlucky today, and even if she couldn't die, she would have to suffer a lot.

And although the guy in her arms looks a little vicious and terrifying, it is only the first time she has met herself, and at this moment she is snuggling up to each other, even in the deep mountains and old forests at night, she can sleep peacefully.

The elders often say that "those who are not of our race will have different hearts" and "monsters are born cunning and ruthless", but they don't know that the human heart is the most elusive thing in this world. Once people's hearts are broken, people will become more terrifying creatures than beasts and monsters, even immortals like Shangya.

She looked at her left ankle, which was getting more and more swollen, and made a secret decision in her mind.
