Chapter 17: Enrollment (Ask for Recommendations, Ask for Collections)
After Lu Zhe came out of the sixth room of the old man, a stone in his heart seemed to have fallen to the ground. Grateful that his whole body was smooth, and even the air seemed to be fresh, Lu Zhe took a deep breath, smiled, and turned around and walked towards the place where he was working at the dock.
Today's work is hard all day, in the blink of an eye it is already sunset, Lu Zhe packed up, came to Qian Laosi to settle today's wages, came to the town, bought some food, ready to go back for dinner, since Xiao Ash left, Lu Zhe's life is getting better day by day, without the burden of Xiao Ash, he has no pressure, in addition to eating, he can still have some money left, he used the money to repair the broken temple where he lived, at least it is no longer the situation where the moonlight lights sweep the floor, winter is coming soon, and it is time to add a few thick clothes to himself。 This kind of life is good, why do you have to risk your life to cultivate that spiritual power? Lu Zhe thought secretly in his heart.
Came to the broken temple where he lived, Lu Zhe moved out of the stool and table from the temple, he was going to have dinner outside, set the meal out, Lu Zhe picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the dishes, suddenly stopped, slowly put the chopsticks back in place, looked up at the bright moon like a disc, and said to himself lightly: I don't know how Xiao Ash is, he doesn't know how he is doing now, whether he has been bullied, and he doesn't know if he has ...... after eating. Thinking of this, Lu Zhe suddenly had the idea of going out to look for him, but after a while, he was dispelled by him on the grounds that the outside world was too dangerous.
"Should I go out to practice?" At this moment, Lu Zhe remembered what Oil Lao Liu said to him yesterday, and now he was in a state of confusion instead of being overwhelmed.
The night quietly left in Lu Zhe's thoughts, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the red sunrise mountain, looking at the first ray of sunshine in the early morning, Lu Zhe lowered his head and lamented, last night, he stayed awake all night.
Lowering his head and rubbing Qingming's acupoint, Lu Zhe slowly stood up, moved his limbs, and looked at the fiery red sun coming out of the mountain, Lu Zhe took a deep breath and said self-deprecatingly: If Xiao Ash knew that I was greedy for life and afraid of death, I don't know what I would think.
Xiao Ash, the boy who was rescued by Lu Zhe from the gangsters two years ago, disappeared for no reason a year ago, Lu Zhe searched for many places, but to no avail, so he had to give up. Somehow, in Lu Zhe's heart, the young man he rescued seemed to have become his only concern, although it didn't matter.
Shaking his head and throwing out the thoughts in his head, Lu Zhe lifted his spirits, moved the chairs and tables that he moved out yesterday back to the temple, and then came to the stream to wash his face, and then went down the mountain after washing.
Coming to the bottom of the mountain, Lu Zhe walked on the road, I don't know what's going on, Lu Zhe feels that the street is much more deserted today than in the past, some shops are not open today, some shops are open but no one is open, Lu Zhe was suspicious, but it was not good to ask others, so he quickly came to Qingxi Wharf.
The dock is still in full swing, and there is a big gap from the coldness on the street, Lu Zhe was just about to ask others, and suddenly, a hand put on his shoulder, Lu Zhe looked back, and it turned out to be a tiger brother who was quite good with him.
Brother Hu's original name was Li Hu, his family lived in this Qingxi Town, and Lu Zhe was the same, working at this Qingxi Wharf, because he was about the same age as Lu Zhe, so the two became friends, today Lu Zhe saw Li Hu, and found that he had a smile on his face, as if something good was good, so he asked: What's wrong Brother Hu, so happy today?
Li Hu laughed, hugged Lu Zhe and said: Brother Lu, do you really don't know or pretend not to know?
Lu Zhe was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: What's the matter?
Li Hu saw that Lu Zhe didn't seem to be lying, so he asked: You really don't know?
Lu Zhe nodded.
Li Hu said lightly: If you don't know, I'll tell you. After speaking, he pretended to be mysterious and said: Do you know why there is no one on the street today?
Lu Zhe shook his head.
Seeing this, Li Hu didn't say anything, put his arm around Lu Zhe's shoulder and said, "Let's go, brother will take you somewhere."
Lu Zhe had doubts, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to follow Li Hu.
Li Hu took Lu Zhe into the street, turned around, and came to a wide place, Lu Zhe knew what kind of place this was, Qingxi Square in Qingxi Town.
Qingxi Square is the largest square in Qingxi Town, usually used to hold temple fairs and other large-scale singing and dancing parties, usually very deserted, but today it is crowded with people, and Qingxi Square is surrounded by water.
Lu Zhe had doubts, but he couldn't say anything, he saw that the person named Li Hu next to him was sticking out his head and looking in, so he pulled his shirt, lowered his head and said: Brother Hu, there are so many people here, what are you doing?
Li Hu didn't say anything, grabbed Lu Zhe's arm, and squeezed into the crowd.
Lu Zhe was squeezed around by the crowd in the crowd, and the question in his heart was even greater, and he said to himself: There are few people here in normal times, how can there be so many people today, is it possible that someone in the square today will not be able to send gold?
Just when he was talking to himself, he had been pulled close to the front of the crowd by Li Hu, and the things inside were also seen a little clearly, it was a very high platform, about two stories high, a staircase was connected to the center of the crowd along the platform, and there were many people standing on the steps, because it was far away, so Lu Zhe didn't see clearly who was standing on the platform.
Soon, Lu Zhe was pulled by Li Hu to the front of the crowd, and the things inside were also seen clearly, people were surrounding a very high stage, about two meters high, and the staircase that connected the stage was the one Lu Zhe had just seen, and the people standing on the stairs also saw clearly, they were all people about the same age as Lu Zhe, and they were probably led by people who were probably parents, standing on the steps.
"What is this for?" Lu Zhe asked at Li Hu.
"Hehe" Li Hu smiled and said lightly: This is the enrollment of the Imperial Wind Sect.
"Imperial Wind Sect?" The name is like thunder to the people of Qingxi Town, although Lu Zhe is not very out of Qingxi Town, but he is not unfamiliar with this name.
The Imperial Wind Sect, known as the first major sect in the Oga Empire, was established about 500 years ago, but in just these 500 years, this sect has developed from a little-known small sect to the first force in the Oga Empire. It is said that there are many masters in the sect, and there are many heroes, and now there are many high-ranking officials and nobles who squeeze their scalps to send their children inside, hoping to become a strong person admired by thousands of people.
Lu Zhe thought about it for a while, and said with some self-deprecation: I should have thought that there would be such a big scene, except for the Imperial Wind Sect, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the Oga Empire.
Li Hu didn't care what Lu Zhe thought, looked at the stage for a while, lowered his head and pretended to take Lu Zhe's hand mysteriously: If it's just admissions, I won't pull you to see.
Lu Zhe was stunned for a moment and said: What else is the matter?
Li Hu smiled and said, "Do you know, this year is said to be the twenty-eighth year of Shangguan Yijing, the young sect master of the Imperial Wind Sect, and the sect master of the Imperial Wind Sect hopes to find a wishful man for the young sect master from among these thousands of students."
Lu Zhe was stunned when he heard this: Is this an enrollment or a son-in-law?
