In the temporary workshop nearby, workers were sitting in groups of twos and threes. All of them looked listless and were whispering something in discussion.Seeing that it wasn"t time for lunch yet, logically speaking, he should be busy with construction work at this time of the day.
Was it because the weather was too hot?
All in all, there was something odd about this place.
Lu Chen listened attentively for a while. With his exceptional hearing, he quickly figured out that it was because of the ancient tomb that many accident happened at the construction site. Many migrant workers were scared away.Some of the people who stayed were courageous, while others were capable foremen.
However, they had to stop work for the time being until the issue was resolved.Even among these people, a sense of retreat gradually emerged.
Under the directions of the bearded man, they continued to advance about a hundred meters in the direction of the ancient tomb, only to see a few people walking out with unsightly expressions on their faces.Amongst them was actually a Daoist priest with his hair tied up in a bun, holding a Daoist robe in his hands and wearing only a vest.
This person"s body was thin and weak. His complexion was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Of course, these were not the real reasons that caught Lu Chen"s attention.
The first time Lu Chen saw him, he noticed that this person"s body was a little messy, but he had a stronger aura than most people.
Beside him was a seventeen or eighteen year old young man. He carried a backpack on his back and occasionally, he would raise his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.It was probably because the peach wood sword was too long that the hilt was revealed, causing the sword"s ta.s.sels to sway in the air.
On this young man"s body, Lu Chen could also sense a trace of a similar aura.Compared to the old man, it was almost negligible.
But even so, it was still far beyond ordinary.
It seemed that the two of them were no ordinary people.
Seeing the man with sideburns from afar, a man in his forties took the initiative to greet him, "Old Yellow, is your nephew Huang Tianwei alright?"
The man with a full beard was stunned for a moment, then he nodded awkwardly: "Boss He, thank you for your concern. There shouldn"t be any big problems. "Saying that, the bearded man quickly glanced at Lu Chen.
"It"s good that you"re fine, it"s good that you"re fine." Director He forced a smile and then sighed, "I"ve been working for so many years, but this is the first time I"ve encountered something like this."With that, he looked over to Lu Chen and asked casually: "Old Yellow, is this your relative? Looking for something to do? "
The man with a full beard revealed a simple and honest smile, "This young sir is a doctor from the San He Hall, a mysterious doctor! It was all thanks to him that my nephew was cured. "
Hearing this, Director He was obviously stunned for a moment, before he looked suspiciously at the bearded man.
The bearded man nodded heavily.At that moment, the old man that was carrying the daoist robe with him walked over unsteadily.
He raised his pale face and said with shame, "Chief He, please forgive this old man"s helplessness. This old man will first go back and think of a way."
Director He sighed and quickly said, "Sorry for the trouble, I"ll send someone to give it to you now."
With that, he took out the walkie-talkie beside him and said, "Little Li, drive Mr. Zhang away!"A voice came over the walkie-talkie. "Alright, Director He!"
Dao Minister Zhang thanked Chief He again. Just as he was about to bring his disciple away, his gaze suddenly landed on Lu Chen. Following that, his body swayed.
"You, you, you …"
Dao Master Zhang moved a few steps closer to Lu Chen and carefully sized him up. He muttered to himself, "Similar, too similar."Lu Chen frowned, then looked at the old man in front of him with suspicion.
In fact, when he saw the other party, he also saw something different from afar.
This old man was obviously old, but his aura must be more stable than ordinary people.
It was as if there was a strange power lingering around his body, forming a feeling that made people want to get close to him.Just as Lu Chen was thinking about this, the little fox suddenly jumped out, "Tsk tsk! It"s not easy! It"s not easy to find such people in the human world during the Age of Chaos. "
"What do you mean?" Lu Chen immediately asked.
"This old man has some cultivation experience." "It"s a pity that I went astray or have no idea how to proceed. It"s a waste for me to not be able to fully utilize the spiritual energy in my body!" The little fox gloated.
After staring at Lu Chen for a long time, Daoist Master Zhang finally couldn"t help but ask, "Little brother, what"s your surname?"
At this time, Lu Chen could no longer continue to question the little fox. Suppressing the doubt in his heart, he replied with a smile: "Senior, my name is Lu Chen. I don"t know what"s wrong with me?""Lu …" Could it be … But that"s not right? He was clearly in his early twenties, how could there be such a strong aura on his body... Even starting from the womb isn"t enough? "
Daoist Master Zhang muttered to himself. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and stopped speaking.Lu Chen frowned.
Could it be that the other party saw through it?
Or maybe she knew him.
Could it be that he knew his father or grandfather?
Lu Chen had never seen his father before, but his appearance was the same as the old gramps.
According to the old gramps, Lu Chen was carved from the same mold as the young Lu Chen.
As for his father, he seemed to be a taboo to the elderly. The lordmaster had never once mentioned anything about him.However, after searching through his memories, he couldn"t find any memory of this person.
Seemingly embarra.s.sed by Lu Cheng"s doubtful gaze, Taoist Zhang squeezed out an awkward smile.
"Sorry, sorry! You and an old friend of mine look too much alike. "
While talking, Daoist Master Zhang walked over and asked in a low voice: "I dare ask, who exactly are you studying under? Why do you have such a thick aura around you at such a young age? This is unbelievable, unbelievable! "
Lu Chen could clearly see that when the other party heard his name, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.Without a doubt, his earlier deduction was correct. The old Daoist Priest in front of him very likely knew his father or grandfather.
Lu Chen maintained his composure and smiled, "Dao Leader, you are flattering me."
In fact, he could feel that there seemed to be a taboo in Taoist Zhang. Even if he were to confirm his ident.i.ty, he would most likely not take the initiative to reveal it.
Thus, even though Lu Chen was eager to find out the reason, in the end, he still suppressed his impulse and was prepared to give in.After all, now that he had met a person who knew about it, Lu Chen had plenty of chances to get something out of him.
Lu Chen changed the topic: "May I ask Senior, what is the situation here?Dao Friend Zhang was about to say something when Director He suddenly cut in and said, "There"s nothing much going on here. It"s just that a few workers accidentally made some mistakes that caused the minds of people to waver. I"ve invited Dao Friend here to do some work. It just so happens that their hearts are at peace."
