Chapter 65: Spirit

Walking out of the huge crater-like bottom, Pei Chu's expression was a little trance-like, as if he couldn't believe that he had done all this.

After standing still for a long time, he noticed that the sky in the distance had turned white, and the night had passed.

As far as the eye can see, the entire shantytown of Jinshan Port has almost become a blank field in the fire and the fierce fighting of various forces. Only a few wooden houses on the edge have not yet been completely burned down, and they are charred and black, with smoke billowing from them.

Farther away, the warehouses and some dock buildings in the port area were completely burned down, and even a large ship moored not far from the dock seemed to be in flames.

As he walked all the way, on both sides of the way, whether it was the ragged Xia Gong or the white people in the local Jinshan Port market town, they were all dirty, their expressions were gray, and they were not at all angry.

Pei Chu looked at it all the way, and the excitement of the power in his heart that had just been blessed by Li Xuanxiao's divine thoughts seemed to melt in his chest as quickly as ice and snow.

He's been here for more than a month, and even though he's been living at the bottom, there's still something familiar about it.

In the past, if he walked around the shantytown at this time, and met a laborer who got up early and met him, he would always greet each other with greetings such as "Achu, Brother Chu", and there were those pure-eyed children in the school, shouting excitedly around the little Mazha he made.

During this time, in addition to learning martial arts with Liu Sixi, he has actually integrated into the life of this world bit by bit.

Occasionally, when he thinks about life in the real world, he sometimes even begins to lose some of the truth and the false......

Is it Pei Chu who works hard or the original self, or is it himself who is still in high school and is worried about his studies?

The shantytown in front of him had become a white field, most of which was destroyed by fire, but Pei Chu knew that part of it was caused by his fight with the zombie-like old eunuch and finally this huge monster.

"The power belongs to itself, beyond the mundane, this is the essence of this world?" Pei Chu was silent in his heart.

He had felt the power that Li Xuanxiao had lent him, and these powers might not be all that Li Xuanxiao had, but he could already crush the strange-shaped monsters.

Mighty to be.

For a moment, he felt as if he was an immortal Buddha, a god.

Above all beings.

Even, there are many lives that died in his hands last night!

But when this power receded and returned to his strength and physique, which was only slightly beyond ordinary people, Pei Chu's heart suddenly felt an unprecedented heaviness.

Although most of the summer workers in Jinshan Port are young and strong, there are still a few children who are dragging their families.

What will happen to these people's livelihoods?

After this catastrophe, if the port area can't quickly restore order, there are cargo ships back and forth, so that the summer workers can have work again, he can't think about what will happen to these people later.

In the past, although Xia Gong was quite united externally, when he was at the dock, it was not uncommon for everyone inside to fight for a job. In a chaotic situation like last night, some cheating and slippery people took this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

There is also the order after the chaos, the contradictions and conflicts between the native federal whites, the black-skinned Negros, and the indigenous Madi people will soon erupt.

How difficult it is to mourn the people's livelihood! Pei Chu sighed in his heart, and felt that part of the cause of all this was his own responsibility.

Absolutely powerful individual abilities that cause destructive power are simply devastating.

"Brother Achu!"

Pei Chu's heart was tumbling like a tide, walking all the way among Xia Gong, who looked numb and desperate, and seemed to have lost the strength to cry, and at some point, he suddenly heard a timid voice in his ears.

Pei Chu turned his head from the crowd and saw a little girl with her hair tied in a bun standing in front of a woman with a pale face, shouting at him.

"Little dish!"

Pei Chu saw the little girl clearly, and walked over in a few steps, the little girl seemed to be a little afraid of him, and just called his name, but after seeing him coming over, he quickly pulled away and hid in the arms of the woman who was squatting next to him.

Pei Chu didn't care, but after the other party shouted, he saw Fang Yunhu lying on the ground.

"Uncle Fang!"

Pei Chu quickly stepped forward and looked at Fang Yunhu with a piece of cloth wrapped around his forehead to wrap the wound.

He remembered that he had seen Fang Yunhu fighting with several people last night, and he took action to solve Fang Yunhu's troubles, but at that time, he was affected by Li Xuanxiao's divine thoughts, and he rushed to wherever there were strong and fierce battles.

"Achu, are you alright?"

Fang Yunhu's face was also bloodless, although he was not lightly injured, but because of his strong physique, he was in good spirits at this time.

After seeing Pei Chu, the first sentence opened his mouth to ask about Pei Chu's situation, but his eyes looked a little strange.

"I'm fine, Uncle Fang." Pei Chu half-squatted down and nodded slightly.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Fang Yunhu habitually wanted to reach out and pat Pei Chu's shoulder to comfort him, but his hand stretched out and retracted in a curt. Turning his gaze to the woman beside him and the little girl in her arms, he smiled reluctantly, "It was too chaotic last night, I only met Qi Niang and them, let them follow me for the time being, so as not to be bullied." ”

Pei Chu looked at Fang Yunhu's movements, and felt slightly in his heart that there seemed to be a sense of distance between him and Fang Yunhu.

He wasn't sure if Fang Yunhu had seen clearly whether he had killed a few Xia Gong, or if he had seen him kill the zombie monsters and demon monsters that had come out of nowhere, so he had to smile and say, "Xiao Cai'er stopped me just now, otherwise I might not have noticed you." ”

"Well, Xiao Cai'er is literate in Mr. Lu's school." Fang Yunhu responded and suddenly said, "By the way, Ah Chu, you go and find Mr. Lu, I don't know how he is now?" ”

"Good! Then Uncle Fang, you have a good rest first! ”

Pei Chu nodded and stood up, and after being reminded by Fang Yunhu, he really wanted to go find Lu Xiping and Liu Sixi.

The zombie dressed as a eunuch last night looked a little like someone from the empire who came to make trouble.

After he killed the zombies, the boiling battle intent in Li Xuanxiao's mind had subsided, but the demon on the other side suddenly appeared, once again stirring up Li Xuanxiao's war intent, and he didn't know what happened to a few people now!

Going around and around, Pei Chu took a big turn in the shantytown, and most of the laborers he saw along the way were insensitive, and their eyes lost their brightness. In the aftermath of this catastrophe, they were completely confused.

A few of them were clearer when they walked around, and after seeing Pei Chu, their faces showed fear, and they retreated far to the sides, and some even knelt down directly.

These people all saw the scene where he bombarded and killed two inhuman monsters last night, and in their eyes, Pei Chu at this time was a more powerful character than those monsters.

Pei Chu's heart was extremely complicated about this feeling, the feeling of being high and high brought by that kind of power, as well as the feeling of suddenly being cut off and being feared, all made him feel a little anxious.

It was only after wandering around the shantytown near the sea that Pei Chu saw a lonely figure.

The figure stood on a rock by the sea, as if waiting for the sunrise.

"Mr. Lu!" Pei Chu shouted softly after walking in.

"Achu, it's you who came over!"

Hearing Pei Chu's shout, Lu Xiping didn't turn his head, but still stood there, and said in a somewhat weak voice, "That Master Liu and the Taoist chief have already left, although the big eunuch died at your hands, there are still people under your hands looking for them." ”

Regarding the identities of Liu Sixi and Li Xuandao, Pei Chu had some guesses before, and Liu Sixi had given him the "Secret Manuscript of God's Fighting" before and said that he was leaving, so he didn't feel too strange when he left.

It's just that Lu Xiping's voice made Pei Chu feel weak when he listened, and walked a few steps towards Lu Xiping, and Pei Chu suddenly noticed that Lu Xiping's hair on his temples was all white, his face was sallow, and he didn't have any look.

"Mr. Lu, how is your health, I'll help you down."

Pei Chu stretched out his hand and wanted to help Lu Xiping get down from the rock, he could feel that Lu Xiping seemed to be extremely weak at the moment, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

"No need!"

Lu Xiping shook his head and refused, his chapped and purple lips moved slightly, and he suddenly spoke, "Achu, what does it feel like to have the power to surpass ordinary people?" ”

Pei Chu was slightly stunned, I don't know why Lu Xiping suddenly asked such a question, but he still said his thoughts very truly, "Very powerful, it seems to be omnipotent, looking at other ordinary people seems to be like ......"

"It's like an ant!" Before Pei Chu finished speaking, Lu Xiping took it.

His eyes looked at the sea in the distance, and at this time the sky was already transparent, and the sun was shining brightly on the sea level.

"Achu, do you know my identity?"

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Pei Chu to answer, and said to himself, "I am the head of the Revival Society, a key criminal to be arrested by the empire, and a revolutionary party!" The destiny of the heavens, reversing yin and yang, this is my lifelong ambition. Remember the night you told me about imaginary future countries? ”

Pei Chu nodded slightly, although his impression was a little vague, he still clearly remembered that he and Lu Xiping briefly talked about the situation of the country in reality, which also caused Lu Xiping to imagine the future infinitely.

"It would be nice if it really were!" There was a look of yearning in Lu Xiping's eyes, "The elderly can be supported, the children can enter the school to study, and the young people will be able to support their families as long as they are willing to do things." There is no war, no aggression, the country is rich, everyone is equal, what a wonderful world it is! But—"

Lu Xiping's voice suddenly deepened, "But this road is so difficult to walk, and I don't even see any hope." I have traveled to the countries of the old and new continents for more than 10 years, writing books and sayings, awakening the wisdom of the people, and forming a party, in order to be able to find a way.

The first time I saw muskets and artillery, I was overjoyed! When I first saw a steamer, I was excited! I always felt that these things might one day help me to overturn the mountains above me and push the layers of oppression!

But it's useless, Achu! ”

Lu Xiping's voice seemed to be desolate, and he coughed twice suddenly as he spoke, the corners of his mouth showed red blood, and his face became even more ugly after this moment.

"Mr. Lu!"

Pei Chu looked at Lu Xiping's situation, and his heart was shocked again, although he didn't know any medical skills, he could also see that Lu Xiping's current condition was very poor.

"Don't ...... Don't touch me! ”

Lu Xiping waved his hand again, staggering and almost unsteady, but still standing there strongly.

"Achu, I don't know where you come from, whether you are a strong person with extraordinary martial arts, a cultivator, or a secret technique, you are not an ordinary person like me! The boxer who saved me is not, the Taoist priest is not, the great eunuch is not, and neither are you. What you don't understand, what you don't understand! ”

"Mr. Lu, I ......"

Pei Chu could hear the thick despair in Lu Xiping's words, maybe it was already there, maybe it was deeply stimulated last night.

This world is a world where great power belongs to itself, and perhaps there are very few channels for ordinary people to rise, but once they enter the extraordinary, they have been isolated from ordinary people since then.

He had seen the transcendent manifestations recorded in the history books left by Lu Xiping, and he could fully understand Lu Xiping's pain at the moment.

He had learned that there is a class theory in politics, and in this sense, this is complete class solidification.

This solidification was more unbreakable than the real world in which he lived, because the power was not at all above a level.

This strong emotional stimulation made Pei Chu's heart tingle, making him feel that he had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it at all.

Lu Xiping didn't pay attention to Pei Chu, but the sadness on his face became thicker, and he muttered to himself:

"Extraordinary is in the world, how can there be more ordinary people? Going deep into the masses and mobilizing the masses is nothing more than a joke!

Throughout the history of the countries of this world, whether it is a civil war or an external humiliation, it is nothing more than the victory or defeat of the extraordinary power overhead!

All we mortals can do is be overpowered by the transcendent in our lives...... Hehe...... 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops in Nanyue Province, a governor of Nanyue suppressed it with his backhand, and the head was rolling...... In the shantytown where tens of thousands of summer workers gathered, under several extraordinary fierce fights, no one put out the fire to save the victimized ordinary people.

I can't save it, I can't save one Lu Xiping, I can't save thousands of Lu Xipings, no one can save it! ”

In the distance, a red sun slowly crawled out of the sea level, shining brightly.

Lu Xiping looked at the red sun climbing on the sea level, and his body shook again.

In this night, he was first severely injured by the assassin at the sticky rod, and then saw extraordinary battles one after another, and was affected by the poison of the sarcoma monster, and the injuries of the eunuchs Yu Liangfu and Pei Chu in the back, and he was already exhausted.

"I wish it would be my land as it is, and not let the blood of my people be covered with ......"

Looking at the rising red sun from afar, Lu Xiping had a sad smile on his face, and after reading the last sentence, he fell straight down and was silent.

Pei Chu stepped forward and helped Lu Xiping up, and tears rained down in an instant.

Lu Xiping is a person he has come into contact with great feelings and compassion since he came to this world.

He can understand Lu Xiping's strong feelings for his family and country, take the world as his own responsibility, and roar for all the oppressed people at the bottom of this world. Little by little, we will accumulate strength and seek breakthroughs and changes.

The injuries on his body may be very serious, but the most important thing should be that Lu Xiping is desperate and has a will to live and die. The core members of the Revival Society were wiped out by 100,000 young people in the empire, and what he saw and heard, as well as the repeated blows.

Let him see no hope at all.

This is the sorrow of ordinary people in this era!

The horseman was angry and blood splattered five steps, but here, 100,000 horsemen, armed with firearms, were still suppressed in the blink of an eye.

Pei Chu has studied political history and can understand these truths, in this era, there are only a few people like Lu Xiping.

Perhaps, there have been many of them, but they all disappeared from this world in the end.

All men will seek to be powerful, otherworldly, and at the top, and no longer at the bottom of the pyramid as far as the eye can see.

"Mr. Lu, you are a great man!"

Feeling the body in his arms gradually cooling, Pei Chu sat on the rock, put Lu Xiping's body beside him, and silently watched the red sun in the distance climb the sea and rise.

Pei Chu just sat there stunned, with entanglement, confusion, helplessness, and uncertainty in his eyes.

He can think of all the encounters in life, from childhood to adolescence, left-behind children, reading and going to school in reality.

In this world, the peasant family was born in poverty, ignorant, and had to cross the ocean to survive in the midst of disasters and wars.

encountered a sarcoma monster, Liu Sixi passed on his martial arts, invited God, got along with Lu Xiping and chatted about the future, the boundless gray fog dream world, and made Mazha for the children......

Everything seemed to be flying through my mind like a slide.

I don't know how long it took, Pei Chu suddenly stood up from the rock, looked at Lu Xiping, who was already silent next to him, took a long breath, and slowly said, "Mr. Lu, you can save it!" It must be saved! ”

Pei Chu looked up at the sky, there seemed to be a flame in his eyes, at this moment he seemed to have figured out the root of all the problems, the mysterious air flow in his body seemed to feel his emotions, rushing wildly, and the muscles of his whole body seemed to be bulging.

There has never been a moment when he wanted to do something so much.

"Mr. Lu, I can't do something like you, use my own efforts little by little to awaken the wisdom of the people, to understand the people's livelihood, and to form a party!"

"The political history I have studied tells me that the people will eventually wake up!

I believe that there is a Mr. Lu in this world, and there will be more Mr. Lu, and they will also have your feelings and ideas! As you said, guns and steamships appeared, this is the trend of history, and no one can change it. ”

"Mr. Lu, I have an idea, which may be a little arrogant, but I want to try."

"Since there are transcendent manifestations in this world, since transcendence is above all beings, then ...... I'm going to suppress the extraordinary! ”

"Render to God what is God's, and Caesar's to Caesar's!"
