Chapter 2: Five Years Later (Revised)

"Let's go...... Come on...... Let's go" A dark shadow rushed over, stretched out his hand and gave it a heavy push

"Ahh

"Whew, it's this dream again," the young man sat on the bed in horror and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What's the matter, I've been dreaming the same thing for several days in a row" The boy came back to his senses, adjusted his breathing, jumped off the bed, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the base of a Buddha statue, the young man smiled slightly, walked quickly to the base of the Buddha statue, lowered his head and shouted softly: Little Ash.

There was a slight commotion under the Buddha statue, and after a while, a gray arm stretched out from the cloth curtain under the Buddha statue, and then, a head also stretched out, lifted up, revealing a dusty face, and then looked at the young man in front of him with his eyes.

"How's your sleep?" the boy asked with a smile.

The gray-faced young man did not answer, but lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched his head back again, his movements were strange, and he was a little surprised.

"Hey, look at my memory, I forgot you can't speak, I'm sorry" The young man looked at the curtain, shrugged his shoulders, and an embarrassed smile appeared.

"You, don't stay in there all the time, take a breath of the outside air," the boy said, turning his head and turning around.

Seeing that the curtain did not move, the young man shook his head helplessly, and then, stepping out of the temple without a gate, looked back at the temple, and shook his head helplessly. When he came to the stream not far away, he squatted down and wiped his face with the stream, wiped his face with his sleeve, turned around and ran down the mountain.

Coming to the bottom of the mountain, this young man walked in the market with a familiar car, and after turning a few corners, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the sound of seagulls and selling was endless. A spacious bluestone road that can allow several horse-drawn carriages to walk side by side appears in front of you, and pedestrians walk on the bluestone paved road, and the sound of people is loud. It looks like it's a lively marina. The dock is full of boats. On the bluestone road, some people carry sandbags, and some people bargain with fishermen, which is very lively.

The boy smiled at the scene and took a deep breath of moist air.

"What a peaceful morning," said the boy, smiling.

This is the name of the land where the people here live, this continent is vast, the territory is vast, the land is numerous, there are thousands of ethnic groups, the continent is divided into four zones, the east is the prairie and the forest, the west is the mountains, the south is the Gobi and the desert, the north is all the big ocean, people live and work in peace and contentment on this continent, develop. On this continent, people use the New Tian Yuan calendar to record the year, twelve months in a year, and thirty days in a month. There is no magic on this continent, there are no spells, there are just spiritual power that has multiplied to the peak.

The beast kings, a terrifying creature, they are hundreds of times stronger than ordinary creatures, often harassing people's lives in peace and contentment, in order to deal with the strong and brutal them, people have made continuous efforts, and finally obtained the power to fight them from heaven and earth - spiritual power!

Spiritual power is the continuous accumulation of experience and methods for people to extract spiritual energy from all things for their own use, which has the miraculous effect of strengthening the body and forging the body, and it is said that people who have cultivated to the peak have the ability to destroy the world and open up mountains and split the earth.

The hierarchy of spiritual power divided by people according to the experience accumulated over a long period of time is divided into eleven levels: Spirit Master, Spirit Master, Great Spirit Master, Spirit Master, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Hero, Spirit Monarch, Spirit Venerable, Spirit Saint and even the legendary Spirit Emperor!

However, because cultivation is more dangerous, people strictly set their cultivation at the age of fifteen, that is, only after the age of fifteen can they cultivate the so-called spiritual power, but this qiē, this young man doesn't know that he is just an extremely innocent teenager now.

The boy walked briskly on the bluestone road, and soon, he walked to a place where the dock workers were working, looked around, and soon saw a slightly obese man standing on a high platform not far away, this person shouted at the laborers below, it seemed that he was the head of these laborers.

When the boy saw him, he walked quickly to the fat man, came to him, and looked up at him.

"Sixth Uncle," the young man shouted.

The fat man was slightly startled when he heard someone shouting at him, and turned his head to look around, but he did not find the source of the sound.

"Here, bottom, bottom" The young man looked at the sixth uncle who was looking around, and laughed secretly, and after laughing, he began to shout.

"Oh, it's you, Lu Zhe, the fat man named "Sixth Uncle" finally found the source of his voice, looked down, and said with a smile after seeing a slightly thin body.

At this point, we learned that the young man's name was Lu Zhe.

"Hehe, Uncle Six, you're thinking about women again, you're really, there are a lot of wives at home, and you're still messing with flowers and grass outside, be careful that you won't be able to live in peace in the future" Lu Zhe said with a smile.

"Go, go, what does a little kid know, this is not a romantic boy, although your sixth uncle I have entered middle age, but, your sixth uncle and I are still not old" The obese man heard the young man taunt him, and he did not get angry, but smiled and counted Lu Zhe.

"Yes, yes, you are still young, by the way, Uncle Six, what are you doing today?" Lu Zhe stopped the topic just now and asked seriously.

"Today, today, huh...... Let me see...... Go to the tower today, he has some goods to be carried onto the ship, you can just load some goods onto the cargo ship that is about to dock," the fat man named Uncle Six looked around and shouted down.

"Okay, I know" Lu Zhe turned around and walked out after hearing today's work.

"You wait, Lu Zhe" The fat man called Lu Zhe.

"What's the matter, Sixth Uncle?" Lu Zhe asked as he stood up puzzled and turned around.

"Is the man named Little Gray still with you?" asked the fat man.

"What's wrong with being together?" replied the young man, Fifteen and Fifteen.

"You, you can't even eat yourself, and you still have to care about that dumb person, if it weren't for the good relationship between the two of us, I wouldn't have persuaded you like this" After hearing Lu Zhe's answer, the obese man lowered his head and sighed, and said lightly.

"Sixth Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't leave him alone" Lu Zhe shrugged his shoulders and said lightly after hearing what Sixth Uncle said.

"Ahh

"Is there anything else?" Lu Zhe asked.

"Oh, no, you go to work, and after you finish your work, you can go to Qian Lao Si and collect today's wages," said the fat man.

"Okay, I know" Lu Zhe replied back, turned around and ran out.

Looking at the departing figure, the fat man shook his head helplessly, turned around and continued to direct the people below to work.

After Lu Zhe left the fat man, he turned around and came to a factory, which was full of goods, it seemed that it was the goods that the sixth uncle said.

Lu Zhe took off his coat, he only wore a short-sleeved gray vest inside, tied his clothes around his waist, rubbed his hands and was about to work, when suddenly someone patted him, Lu Zhe turned his head and saw that a person who was a head taller than himself was standing behind him, looking up, and saw a mature person's face.

"Uncle Tower," Lu Zhe called respectfully.

"Hey, Xiao Luzi, come to work with me today" The strong man named "Uncle Tower" said with a smile, this middle-aged man named "Uncle Tower", as his name suggests, looks like a tower, a height of 1.9 meters, and a full body of muscles, as if he was born to do hard work. Although people have entered middle age, their strength is beyond the reach of those juniors. It is said that he is the champion of the strength competition at Cheonggye Wharf.

"Yes, Uncle Sixth asked me to come here," Lu Zhe continued to compliment. For the man in front of him, Lu Zhe didn't dare to underestimate him, this man can be said to be the head of all the porters at this Qingxi Wharf, everyone respects him very much, in addition to the person named "Sixth Uncle" just now, there is also a character named "Qian Laosi", in addition to these two, what came down was the Li Iron Tower, which was called "Carrying the Iron Tower with Both Arms". And this Qingxi Wharf almost monopolized the three of them, the sixth uncle is dedicated to attracting work, and the fourth Qian Lao is dedicated to managing accounts, and this Li Tieta is dedicated to leading laborers to work. Several people have a clear division of labor, and they have developed this Qingxi Wharf from the original poor countryside into this busy bazaar.

"Oh, it was the sixth oil who asked you to come, damn it, is that guy thinking about the girls again?" Hearing Lu Zhe's answer, the middle-aged strong man named "Uncle Tower" burst into a hearty laugh, and then said to Lu Zhe with a smile.

As soon as the middle-aged man's words came out, some people who were working were also happy, and suddenly, the boring and dignified atmosphere seemed to become joyful, and it seemed that the middle-aged man named "Uncle Tower" was very good at adjusting the atmosphere.

"Hmph, Uncle Ta laughed again," Lu Zhe said with a dry smile.

The middle-aged man didn't care about Lu Zhe's words, patted Lu Zhe's shoulder, and strode towards the crowd. And Lu Zhe also raised his spirit at this moment, and followed Li Tieta into the crowd.

Soon, the cargo ship docked, Lu Zhe spat at the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands vigorously, and shook his shoulders. Carrying a suitcase, he walked towards the ship.

After a long time, the goods were loaded, Lu Zhe looked up at the sky, it was already sunset, looking up at the sunset, a group of seagulls spread their wings and flew on the sea, the sea breeze blew gently, blowing on people's faces, as if it could blow away people's fatigue for a day, looking at this beautiful scenery, Lu Zhe couldn't help but admire the style of nature is so beautiful and gorgeous.

"Hey, what are you looking at, if you don't hurry up, beware of that money-hungry Qian Laosi has deducted his salary again" A teenager about the same age as Lu Zhe patted Lu Zhe's shoulder and shouted.

Lu Zhe looked back, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the young man's face, making the young man's face look very ruddy.

"Oh, it's Brother Tiger," Lu Zhe replied as he looked at the young man.

However, the young man named Brother Hu did not pay attention to Lu Zhe's words, but instead stared intently at the sunset, and it seemed that he was also intoxicated by the beauty of the sunset.

"Hey, Brother Tiger," Lu Zhe shouted.

Lu Zhe's shout brought the young man back to his senses, and the young man lowered his head embarrassedly and scratched his head, and smiled innocently.

"Let's go," Lu Zhe said with a smile.

"Hmm," the young man named Brother Tiger shook off his shirt and left Qingxi Pier with Lu Zhe quickly.

Received today's salary from Qian Laosi, Lu Zhe walked on the street, bought a few steamed buns at the steamed bun shop, bought a little pickles in the vegetable market, and strode towards the mountain, came to the temple in the morning, Lu Zhe put the rice on the table, pulled out two chairs, and then shouted loudly: Come out, eat.

Soon after, a young man with unkempt hair and a dusty face came from behind the Buddha statue, and he was limping as he walked, and it seemed that the boy had a problem with his legs.

The young man came to Lu Zhe and sat opposite Lu Zhe, Lu Zhe grabbed a steamed bun and handed it to him, the young man stretched out his dusty hands and trembled over the steamed bun, and ate it in a big gulp. Looking at the appearance of this dusty young man eating, Lu Zhe smiled helplessly.

After eating a few buns, Lu Zhe stood up and moved a few times, then took out a bamboo tube from the back of a pillar, put the bamboo tube on his back, and said to the gray-faced boy: I'm going to fetch water, you eat slowly, don't choke. After speaking, he walked briskly.

The gray-faced boy stopped devouring and looked at the departing figure with something in his eyes.

After Lu Zhe came back from fetching water, the gray-faced young man had already finished eating and went to sleep under the Buddha statue. Lu Zhe hung the water behind the pillar, stretched, snorted, walked to a corner, and then lay on the wooden board in the corner, and quickly fell asleep.
