Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 36 Lu Family Lu Guangda

The next day, Liang Ting followed Wang Yi and left Jianghu Inn.

His departure could be regarded as a betrayal of his master, but with so many extraordinary people present in the Jianghu Inn last night, he understood the reason from the questions and answers between Wang Yi and Liang Ting, and from the words and attitudes of Liang Ting's five fellow disciples.

What is there to be nostalgic about in a sect that treats you like a tool?

It would be fine if the skills were passed down, but Liang Ting's skills were all obtained from the Thousand Machine Cave of the Mojin Rougu Sect, which was used to punish disciples. Although there are connections, they are not much.

If his Mojin Rougu Sect used this reason to cause trouble for Liang Ting, it would be completely untenable.

This is like Zhang Sanfeng in Jin Yong's works. He was an abandoned disciple of Shaolin, but during the time he was wandering around the world, until he attained enlightenment in Wudang Mountain, no one from Shaolin Temple bothered Zhang Sanfeng or took away all the tricks he learned in Shaolin.

It's nothing, Shaolin wants to save face, how could Shaolin not know why Zhang Sanfeng was abandoned by Shaolin? Not to mention that there was another person involved at the time, Guo Xiang, the daughter of the Northern Hero Guo Jing, who was present.

If Guo Xiang were to make public in the martial arts world the reason why Zhang Sanfeng was abandoned by Shaolin, the thousand-year-old Shaolin sect would lose all its face.

Therefore, Shaolin did not cause trouble for Zhang Sanfeng, and Guo Xiang did not spread rumors everywhere. What mattered between them was a tacit understanding.

Although the Mojin Rougu Sect is not as thousand-year-old as Shaolin, it also has a long heritage. They will not do something that will only slap themselves in the face.

And just like Shaolin, there are so many strange people in the Jianghu Inn who know the reason.

If the Mojin Rougu Sect dares to take action, Jianghu Xiaozhan, as the initiator, will spread the matter throughout the entire world of foreigners, causing the Mojin Rougu Sect to be socially dead in the world of foreigners.

For a sect, face is sometimes more important than substance. If the face is stained with dust, the substance will be stained with blood.

"The strange man Wang Yi is indeed a wonderful person. There will be a lot of fun to watch in the future in this strange world. But how did he get the invitation to the birthday party of old man Lu? You can check it out." Liu Wei, the young shopkeeper of Jianghu Inn, watched the figures of Wang Yi and Liang Ting disappear into the sky, and also instructed the shop owner next to him.

"Young shopkeeper? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What are you afraid of? Don't you know what business our Jianghu Inn is in? It's called being prepared. Uncle Li, I have a feeling that this person might stir up some trouble in the world of strange people. If things go wrong, even we will be involved. Let's be prepared first."

"Since the young shopkeeper has said so, I will give the order right away."

An episode of not too big or small just passed like this, and Wang Yi took Liang Ting, who was currently on the verge of extreme evil, to travel along the waterway, allowing Liang Ting to see more of the world and train his sensitive and fragile heart.

To put it in more scientific terms, this is desensitization therapy.

Since Liang Ting suffered all kinds of ill will due to his ugly appearance, and finally became the evil White Owl Liang Ting, let him see more of this world, where there are many people who have suffered more ill will than him because of their ugly appearance.

This method is difficult to use in a peaceful and prosperous era, but in this chaotic era where life is worthless, you can find countless examples.

The method was very effective. When Liang Ting saw with his own eyes the rich living in luxury while people froze to death on the streets, and the numb eyes of the refugees who were just thinking about what they would have for their next meal and their indifference towards both Wang Yi and Liang Ting, Liang Ting's fragile and sensitive heart slowly changed.

'It turns out that there are many people in this world who are more miserable than me?'

After this thought appeared in Liang Ting's mind, Liang Ting's worries were half resolved. The rest depended on himself. Wang Yi himself had no ability to help him solve the problem, he could only provide him with a way.

So while Wang Yi was traveling around with Liang Ting and rushing to the birthday party of the old man of the Lu family in Jiangnan, Liang Ting had a thin book in his hands.

The title of the book is also very concise, just four words: "Diary of a Madman"

Everyone is familiar with the author of this book. He couldn't solve Liang Ting's problem, but the author of this book could. So when Wang Yi was traveling around the world and interacting with strange people, he never dared to play the joke that Mr. Lu Xun once said.

Because he lived in the same era as Mr. Lu Xun, and he was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he talked and laughed with great scholars and had close contact with ordinary people.

Tian Xiao knows that with his status, he might have some connections in the extraordinary circle.

If he just said that casually and someone came to him to hold him accountable, he would be in trouble.

Of course, this is just a joke. He is not that petty, but you still have to give others respect.

In this way, while traveling around with Liang Ting, time came to August of the 14th year of the Republic of China.

This August is just an ordinary August for ordinary people, but in the circle of extraordinary people, there is such a grand event, that is, among the four famous extraordinary families, the eightieth birthday of the old man of the Lu family has arrived!
-
Gaolu and King Lu are one of the four famous families in the circle of strange people, with a long history.

In the world of strange people, there is no shortage of famous families like this. For example, Zhuge Wuhou, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty during the chaos of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, had descendants named Wuhou and passed down a line of sorcerers, which has been passed down for nearly two thousand years. Similar to the Wuhou School, there is naturally the Longhu Mountain, the leader of the Zhengyi Taoism. The founder of Longhu Mountain is named Zhang Daoling, and the Tianshi of Longhu Mountain in all generations are surnamed Zhang. Then there is the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, which is similar to the situation of Longhu Mountain.

However, compared with the above-mentioned inheritance of one family, the situation of the four families of Gao, Lu, and Wang is different.

The four families are of the same blood and united in external affairs, but they do not intermarry and are independent of each other.

Among them, the Lu family and the Wang family passed down their family heritage through family means, while the Lu family and the Gao family passed down their family traditions through family traditions.

The inherited skills of the Lu and Wang families, the former is called Ruyi Jin, the latter is called Shen Tu. Although they are not the way to ascend to heaven, they are also unique master skills in the world of strange people.

The Lu and Gao families place the most importance on morality and education. Moral education allows the children in the family to first establish the most basic sense of right and wrong, good and evil. Afterwards, if there are children in the family who are talented in cultivation, they will be sent to many friendly sects of aliens to be tested by the teachers in the sect to see if they can be accepted to learn skills. Lu Jin, who was in the Sanyi Sect before Wang Yi, is such an example.

After becoming apprentices, the disciples of the Lu and Gao families would swear a solemn oath to their masters that if they were to pass on the skills on behalf of their masters, they would never pass on the skills of their families to the children of their own clans, and the disciples they chose would all be unrelated to them.

This solemn oath, together with the family traditions of the Lu and Gao families, has allowed them to be passed down in the world of strange people for a thousand years without falling.

It is precisely because of the thousand-year-old vows between the Lu and Gao families, and the family tradition education that the children of the two families have received since childhood, that the well-known Yi Ren sects in the Jianghu are happy to accept the children of the Lu and Gao families as disciples. Regardless of whether they are talented or not, in two words, they are worry-free. So to some extent, the Lu and Gao families are a bit like the talent reserve base and seed bank of various Yi Ren sects in the Yi Ren Jianghu circle.

If someone's sect's inheritance is about to be cut off and there is no successor, then they can go to the Lu family and the Gao family and maybe find someone who can inherit the mantle. Perhaps this is why the Lu family and the Gao family were able to stand up when they first started, because the alien world needs such a family to exist as a precautionary measure.

In this way, the four families took root in the world of strange people with their own means and virtues.

The Gao family settled outside the Great Wall, the Lu and Wang families settled in Beijing and Tianjin, and the Lu family settled in the south of the Yangtze River.

On weekdays, the four families don’t visit each other much, but if one of them has a big event, at least two of the other three families will go, just like the 80th birthday of the old man of the Lu family.

Wang Yi and Liang Ting came to the town where the Lu family settled. Looking at the people passing by on the street, Wang Yi couldn't help but admire the Lu family's method of passing down family traditions, which was indeed popular among the people.

I had rarely run into any of the strange people in the martial arts world during the past two months, but now in this small town, just as I turned my head to watch the fun, five or six young strange people nodded and greeted me.

Yes, those who can appear in the Lu family’s territory during this period are basically those who have received invitations to the birthday party of the old man of the Lu family.

The elders in the sect would naturally take the young disciples out for a walk, so that they could see the world and gain some experience.

Although they did not know Wang Yi, they probably regarded Wang Yi as a disciple of a certain sect. As for Liang Ting beside Wang Yi, although they were surprised by Liang Ting's appearance, they did not think too much about it.

At this point, although Liang Ting has become accustomed to this kind of gaze, Wang Yi still has to sigh that this guy's life is really miserable. If Liang Ting's mother had changed to another sect, Liang Ting would not have become what he was later. It can only be said that it was a matter of time and fate.

And because of Liang Ting's sturdy physique and appearance beside Wang Yi, these alien children who nodded to Wang Yi did not take the initiative to step forward. Anyway, those who were able to come here basically received invitations to the birthday party of the old man of the Lu family. They would naturally meet at the birthday party, so there was no need to rush.

Wang Yi thought so too. He came here just to respond to Lu Jin's invitation and take a look at the demeanor of Zhang Zhiwei, the designated son of the world, the future 65th Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain who became the number one in the world at the age of 40. Wang Yi was also very curious about what kind of events Zhang Zhiwei had experienced in the process of becoming the recognized number one in the world at the age of 40 in the entire circle of strange people.

The two of them just watched the Jiangnan scenery in the town where the Lu family settled, and occasionally found a stall to eat some snacks. However, when Wang Yi was biting open the bun skin in his spoon and drinking the hot soup in the bun, he suddenly thought of something and let out a strange cry.

"Oh shit! I forgot to bring my fucking present!"

Liang Ting, who was dealing with the soup dumplings in his cage, looked up and saw Wang Yi, who was startled. He was also a little scared. He had known Wang Yi for two months. From the first time they met until just now, Wang Yi had always been calm in front of him. This sudden startle made Liang Ting very uncomfortable.

If Wang Yi could hear Liang Ting's inner voice, he would naturally answer, "We have different views on things. From my perspective, you seem to be indifferent to all the injustices in the world because I was numbed by such things in my early years. I have seen things that are beyond the limits, but you are just a step ahead of me. If you didn't happen to be famous and have a role in a play, and if you didn't happen to meet me, I wouldn't be able to help you."

Just because Wang Yi is indifferent to things like Liang Ting's, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a young heart. Before being sent to this era by the front of the truck, he was only in his twenties. He is a little old after traveling through time, but at least his mentality is young.

I suddenly realized that I had gone to the old man's house to celebrate his birthday, but I ended up bringing nothing but the person. How embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi also set his sights on Liang Ting, who was frightened by his sudden move. He stretched out his greasy hand and placed it on Liang Ting's shoulder.

"Brother Liang, you said we've known each other for two months, brother, can I ask you a favor?"

"explain."

Liang Ting was still very frugal with his words. He just looked at Wang Yi's greasy hands rubbing on his shoulders, his hands shaking slightly.

"Use your mechanical skills to make me a little gadget as a gift to Old Master Lu. Otherwise, when a lot of people give gifts, I won't get to give any. It will be uncomfortable to eat the delicacies in front of you with a lot of eyes staring at you."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Liang Ting understood, but when he heard Wang Yi mention that he might receive a lot of attention for not bringing any gifts, his eyes lit up and he even became less economical with his words.

Yi Wang:?
No, why are you sick again?

"Haha, this brother is thoughtful, but my Lu family has always treated people with sincerity. My grandfather is celebrating his 80th birthday, and he invited many friends to celebrate. He just wanted to use this birthday banquet to cheer everyone up and get rid of bad luck in this difficult world. It's enough to have a thoughtful gesture, and it doesn't matter whether you send gifts or not."

When Wang Yi went to Liang Ting for help, his words were heard by a member of the Lu family who was passing by and was arranging the birthday banquet for his great-grandfather.

Hearing the sound, he walked towards Wang Yi.

He was wearing a suit and overalls, had a flat head, and looked like a scholar, but his eyes were bright. Like Wang Yi, he was also a cultivator, and he had a dignified appearance, one of the most handsome young men in the area.

"I think this junior brother has just arrived here. The birthday banquet of the master will not start for three days. Why don't you come with me to my Lu's restaurant to rest? My name is Lu Guangda. I learned from Yanwu Hall in Beijing and became a disciple of Li Shuwen. I have nothing to ask for your advice."

After hearing the name of the Lu family kid who was only a few years older than Wang, Wang turned his head and looked at the person in front of him suspiciously.

Lu Guangda, this name sounds familiar, where have you heard it before? And this face, hmm, looks familiar too.

Wang Yi frowned, unable to recall any specific impression of the name Lu Guangda, but he still saluted with his fists.

"I'm Wang Yi, and this is my friend Liang Ting, who was invited to come and celebrate Old Master Lu's birthday."

As he spoke, Wang Yi also took out the invitation from his arms.

But Wang Yi hadn't finished his action yet, but Lu Guangda in front of him was looking at Wang Yi with surprise and curiosity.

"Are you Wang Yi? The Wang Yi who is the best young man in Sanyi Sect as mentioned by Jin'er's cousin?"

Yi Wang:?
No, when did I become the top student in Trinity subject?
Does the Ghost Hand King who turned into ashes know about this?
