[Ne Zha 2 Fanfiction]
Back then, Lu Tong was a young immortal assigned to sweep the gates of Yuxu Palace, but his demon heritage made him the target of endless mockery.
Lu Tong's favorite thing to do was sit on the roof and gaze from afar at the graceful, dashing captain of the demon-hunting squad on his chariot: Shen Gongbao.
On Lu Tong's birthday, Shen Gongbao gave him a wishing bell.
Ring it three times, and your wish will come true.
Lu Tong wanted to learn martial arts, so Shen Gongbao taught him. Lu Tong wanted his antlers refined away, so Shen Gongbao did it for him. Lu Tong wanted to join the demon-hunting squad, but Shen Gongbao said nothing.
**
Later, Lu Tong had no antlers, became the first disciple under Wuliang Xianweng, and rose to become captain of the demon-hunting squad, just like Shen Gongbao, who once stood with his hands behind his back atop his chariot.
The wishing bell could make wishes come true, but that young man from long ago could never find his master again.
