I heard you want to let me down

Rong Jin has never raised a child.

There are countless creatures on Jingming Mountain, logically speaking, they are all his children, but Rong Jin didn't care about any of them.Everyone grows naturally. Plants choose where to grow according to their own preferences, or they yearn for sunshine, or they are in the shade. Animals run freely, hunt, or be hunted.These are natural laws, Rong Jin never intervenes.As for those little monsters with spiritual intelligence, it doesn't matter whether they are willing to stay in the mountains or go out to roam around, Rong Jin doesn't care.As long as he doesn't make unnecessary killings, he never cares.It can be said that all the creatures he "raised" belonged to freeing, and they were freed in an extremely random way.

The clothes on the child have already become muddy and broken during the stumbling and dangerous journey, and the original appearance cannot be seen, but the boy's hands are soft and delicate. Apart from the reason of the child, it also shows that he has not done anything. Coolie.

Rong Jin held the boy's hand, feeling the slightly beating vitality in it, fragile and beautiful.Rong Jin thought anxiously, raising a human child who is so delicate and has no experience in living in the mountains and forests must not be like planting flowers and grass, raising kittens and puppies, watering and feeding every day, and it's over. ?

It seems that I will sleep when I want to sleep in the future, and the days of sleeping for several years are completely over.

As for how to raise children, he had to go to his friends who love to recruit students.

Rong Jin led the child and walked towards the depths of the mountain in silence.Ever since his mother was buried, this little child has kept his head down, following Rong Jin silently and docilely.Unless Rong Jin talked to him, he never took the initiative to make a sound, and stayed alone with a god whom he met for the first time, and he was completely free of any anxiety and curiosity. After the previous grief, there was an almost numb silence on his body.

Apart from the few words he asked the child earlier, Rong Jin never asked anything else.Looking at the woman's appearance, Rong Jin could also guess who they were being hunted down by.Being able to run into the mountains with all his might, asking for the help of a god who has only met once and rarely answers, it can be seen that there is no one for the mother and son to rely on.He didn't want to put any pressure on the child, or make him feel any bad emotions.As for those who were chasing and killing them, they couldn't enter Jingming Mountain anyway.

Losing the only family member who depended on each other for life, no matter how much this child cried and collapsed, it would not be too much.Only five or six years old.

Rong Jin felt the immaturity of the children around him and the precocious forbearance that was completely inconsistent with it, and secretly sighed in his heart.

Most gods are indifferent.Among them are some gods who are willing to listen to the voices of mortals and fulfill their wishes, but only for incense and practice.And Rong Jin is the kind of god who doesn't take these things seriously.

This probably has something to do with Rong Jin's priesthood.He was born to be the god of the mountain, and countless creatures in the mountain and people living by the mountain depended on him to live.This mountain is his indestructible foundation, and he does not need to rely on the incense of the world.In Rong Jin's mind, all things are born with their own laws.Although God is high above, He should not intervene casually.So when he woke up occasionally, all he did was to send out the lost children in the mountains.

This time, probably because of the woman's devotion for decades, Rong Jin agreed to protect her child and raise her child to grow up.

This was the first time Rong Jin felt the weight of the word responsibility.

……

In a clean and tidy quiet room, there is a screen, a low table, a few scattered seats, and a light orchid incense burning in the incense burner on the low table.Rong Jin was wearing a dark robe, sitting alone on the seat next to him, drinking tea quietly.

The door was pushed open suddenly, and a man walked in with a smile.The man was very young, handsome, wearing a Taoist robe, but the Taoist robe was crooked, not like a serious Taoist priest, and his style was incompatible with this quiet room.He casually sat cross-legged across from Rong Jin, and said with a smile, "This is really a rare visitor. Why don't you sleep in the mountains and come to my place?"

Rong Jin took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the man in the Taoist robe.

The man was taken aback, his eyebrows were raised triumphantly and surprised, "So polite, could it be that you have something to ask me?"

Rong Jin said directly, "I recently lived with a little guy from the human race. I remember that you have taken in many apprentices from the human race before, and I came to ask you for experience."

Seeing that Rong Jin did not deny it, the man was even more surprised.They have known each other for nearly ten thousand years, and they have similar personalities, so they are very close friends.Rong Jin is a very desireless god, he doesn't care much about strength, reputation and so on.He will have a day to ask for help?

"Raise an apprentice." The man pondered for a moment, then spread his hands helplessly, "I really don't know where to start."

Rong Jin was not impatient at all, "Then let's start from the beginning."

"Let's start from the beginning, let's start with accepting apprentices. I usually accept apprentices based on qualifications and favors, but no matter who they are, they have to build a house on this mountain. Only after the house is built can they formally worship me As a teacher. Therefore, if you want to raise apprentices, you must first let them learn how to build a house."

"Build a house by yourself?" Rong Jin frowned, "What's the use of learning this? Just wave your hand and you'll have as many houses as you want."

"No, no." The man shook his head, "Could it be that I am making things difficult for people for no reason? In fact, I thought of this method to hone their willpower and the spirit of hard work. This is the way to educate disciples." The first step. You have to do the same, or else be careful that you won't be able to suppress him in the future, and you will be mad at you."

The vast majority of those who can find him as apprentices are the most outstanding disciples of the cultivation family.Everyone must be very proud.Practice is a hard job, and he is not a good-tempered master.If you come here but don't want to obey, and you always have a sense of superiority in your heart, it's better to let them go out and find another talent.Rong Jin would come here specially for the person he accepted, so no matter why he was accepted, in Rong Jin's heart, this apprentice must have a lot of weight.He also didn't want him to be so friendly and not easy to accept an apprentice, so he accepted a rebellious white-eyed wolf.

Rong Jin felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know anything about raising people, and the friend in front of him had taught countless outstanding apprentices.For professional matters, it is natural to listen to professional people.

Rong Jin nodded, and continued to listen to his friend's various experiences in educating his apprentices.

……

Rong Jin silently recited the experience his friend had instilled in him, and returned to Jingming Mountain.

Rong Jin himself has no residence.For him, on any leaf or under a boulder is his sleeping place.But Rong Jin knew that a child like Ru Zhuo should live in the house.So as early as the day Ruzhuo first came, he waved his hands and built a wooden house for Ruzhuo.

The child was not in the room, Rong Jin froze for a moment.You know, during the ten or so days that the child had been with him, Rong Jin had always said something, moved him, or answered something, and he never took the initiative to do anything, let alone leave the wooden house.But Rong Jin knew that he was safe in Jingming Mountain, so he wasn't too worried, but heaved a sigh of relief.He knew that the child became like this because of what happened before.It would be a good thing if he could come out and restore some of the child's vigor.

Rong Jin stood lingeringly outside the door of the wooden house. For the first time in his own mind, what he was going to say next, he realized what it was like to be hard to say.

You're, uh, probably going to have to move out of this cabin first.Because you want to build a house by yourself?Is it too much, maybe he should say, you can live in this wooden house temporarily, but you have to build a house yourself and move into it?

Just when he was hesitating, Ruzhuo had already returned from the outside.

"Your friend is back."

"Have you gone out? I have something to tell you." Rong Jin opened his mouth halfway, he noticed the thing in the child's hand, and changed the subject, "Why are you picking so many wild fruits?"

The child has a kind of calmness beyond his age. He is holding a large leaf in his hand, and there are some bright red and ripe fruits on it.Whether it is leaves or fruit, they are all washed clean and very fresh.

He walked up to Rong Jin, bent down to salute Rong Jin, then placed the leaf on the ground, stepped back and knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

Rong Jin looked at him gently all the time, and said softly, "What is this for?"

The child whispered, "I enshrine you."

Rong Jin had been enshrined by countless people, so of course he knew what he was doing, and his tone was a bit complicated, "Did you enshrine me because you want me to do something?"

For example, to avenge his mother.

"No." The child shook his head. He raised his eyes to see this gentle god who suddenly appeared, helped to bury his mother, and promised to raise him up. "My mother has always enshrined you. You saved my mother, and now Take me in. I have nothing to repay, I can only use this to do a little bit for you."

He knows that there are many gods who like offerings from mortals.

Saying that, Ru Zhuo lowered his head, "I don't have any incense burner or cakes now."

Rong Jin had received many offerings, and this wild fruit was probably the most shabby one among them.But when he looked at the carefully washed leaves and wild fruits, an inexplicable feeling came to his heart. He said softly, "I don't like incense burners and pastries. I'm a mountain god. I like wild things in the mountains very much." fruit."

For the first time since Rong Jin saw him, the child had a faint smile flashing across his eyes, "What did you just say you wanted to tell me?"

Rong Jin paused, "Oh, I mean, you can live in any house you want. Do you want me to build you a bigger one?"

The child was slightly stunned, and shook his head sensibly and rejected, "This room is enough for me to live in. I don't need a bigger one."

Rong Jin picked up the leaves on the ground, held the handful of fruit, and led the child into the house, talking to the child slowly while walking.In fact, what he asked was whether he was not here today, and if anything happened, the child followed him and answered clearly.

Rong Jin promised the woman to raise her child, but he never formally considered the relationship between the two.

With a thought in his mind, Rong Jin asked, "Do you want to follow my surname Rong?"

Since the child asked him to give him a new name, it must be for some reason that he abandoned the old name.People should have a first name and a surname, if Ru Zhuo agrees to his surname Rong, then he will be considered his adopted child.

The child faltered in his footsteps. He looked embarrassed, and shook his head after a while, "I have severed all ties with my father, and I don't want to use the name he gave me anymore. But my grandparents treated me very well. So I still want to be named Gu."

It was just a whim, Rong Jin didn't care if he was rejected.He thought for a moment, if it wasn't for adoption, it would be good to be a master and apprentice.But he lived a casual life and didn't pay much attention to these titles. He thought that anyway, he raised this child, so it didn't matter what the verbal relationship was.

Rong Jin heard some clues from the child's words, seeing that although Gu Ruzhuo had pain in his eyes, he was still rational and sober, and asked cautiously, "Is your father chasing and killing you?"

Gu Ruzhuo nodded.

Rong Jin couldn't understand "Why?"

The pain in the child's eyes deepened, and he whispered, "Because I am unlucky."

Seeing Gu Ruzhuo's mood swings, Rong Jin didn't ask about it any more, but kept it in his heart.Rong Jin grabbed the biggest fruit from the leaves and stuffed it into the child's hand for him to eat, then changed the subject, asking Gu Ruzhuo what he wanted to learn.

Although skipping the process of building a house, Rong Jin still attaches great importance to his friend's parenting experience.

Rong Jin sat down in the wooden house and asked the child in front of him, "What did you learn?"

Gu Ruzhuo answered the same thing.Rong Jin found that his answer had nothing to do with the basic knowledge that his friend gave examples before, and his heart trembled.It seems that the little guy he raised has a relatively poor foundation.He looked at Gu Ruzhuo's muscles and bones again, they were limp, and there was no sharpness of training.

Rong Jin thought about his wording, and said seriously, "Since I promised your mother to raise you well, it can't just be as simple as protecting you from harm and providing you with food and drink. Starting tomorrow, you will have to follow the steps of the day." Get up in the morning and practice while memorizing. Diligence can make up for weakness, since your foundation is not good, you should work harder."

The child didn't know why he was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded, and the expression in his eyes changed from puzzlement to a firm "Yes."

Rong Jin was still a little worried that the little guy would resist, but seeing Gu Ruzhuo nodded, he felt very relieved.

Listening to the tone of his friend's story, it seems that his disciple was quite resistant at first.But looking at Ruzhuo's appearance, he is very well-behaved.Remembering that before he left, his good friend reminded him to be serious and ruthless, and if the apprentice was not condescending, he would give him a severe blow, Rong Jin couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Although the little guy I raised is basically not as good as those disciples of my friend's school, and their talents may be worse, but at least they are well-behaved and obedient.Surely there will never be a day when I get dizzy with anger.

Rong Jin's status was special, and Gu Ruzhuo couldn't use his cultivation method, so he asked a friend for a copy of the cultivation method for disciples of the race.Rong Jin took out the supposedly most basic exercise book from the universe in his sleeve, and looked seriously at Xiao Douding in front of him, "Then tonight I will teach you how to meditate and perceive the aura of heaven and earth."
