Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 37 Lu Family Birthday Banquet Opens

Lu's Restaurant, this is one of the Lu family's businesses.

As a family of extraordinary people with a long history, the Gao and Lu families, two famous families with family traditions passed down from generation to generation, would be more secular than the Lu and Wang families, and would be more receptive to many new ideas and new cultures.

This is most obvious in modern times. Among the four families, the Gao family, because they were located outside the Great Wall, felt the most deeply the pain of the war, so they stood in line early and ate the state's food. The Lu family was second, but they also had a considerable industry in the capital. Then came the Wang family, who judged the situation and transformed early. Finally, came the Lu family. Although they had industries outside, their core was not in the city, but in Lujia Village, their ancestral home.

In modern times, the Lu family, which has taken root in the south of the Yangtze River, has also been developing quite well. In addition to enjoying a high reputation in the circle of extraordinary people, they also have children rooted in the military, political and business circles. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to survive in this chaotic world until peacetime.

Many sects of extraordinary people had their inheritance cut off because of the national disaster in the next fourteen years. Even if there were disciples to inherit their traditions in later generations, some core things were still lost.

A classic example is a Taoist sect called the Three Demons Sect. It’s named Three Demons, but it refers to the Taoist practice of beheading the three corpses.

The lofty aspirations and profound skills make it a leader among many other sects.

However, after 14 years of war, all the mysterious skills were no match for the firepower of the Japanese invaders. The three generations of the old, middle-aged and young people basically died in this war. Although there were descendants left, they lacked the guidance of their predecessors and finally entered the Quanxing and became the Quanxing monsters that everyone wanted to kill.

The topic has gone a bit off topic, let’s get back to the present.

On the street, Wang Yi met Lu Guangda, a member of the Lu family. He was only a few years older than Wang Yi, but he felt like he had heard the name somewhere before. His face looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember exactly.

But this is not Wang Yi's fault. Although he was wearing the same clothes, he was rejuvenated and lived in the Republic of China for fourteen years when he was seven years old.

Although he had realized his true nature early on and knew what he should do as long as he survived, he could only force himself to remember several key points in this period of history so that he could plan ahead and help as many of the martyrs who lived in the same era as him as possible.

Wang Yi couldn’t remember much else. After all, his life was in danger at the time. Who knew when he would fall asleep and become someone else’s meal?

Just because of their familiarity with the name Lu Guangda and his enthusiasm, Wang Yi and Liang Ting followed Lu Guangda and were arranged to stay in an upper room in Lu's Restaurant.

Afterwards, I was invited to the second floor of the restaurant to have snacks, enjoy the scenery and chat.

Wang Yi also learned from Lu Guangda why he became the so-called number one young man in Sanyi School.

After all, it was because I slapped my fellow apprentices Lu Jin and Li Muxuan twice after I paid tribute to Wang Yaozu.

Wang Yi is a disciple of Quan Xing Ghost Hand King. He passed on the skills of reversing the eight directions to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan on behalf of his master. At the same time, he also passed on his ideas about the human body's magnetic field to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan.

These things are not a secret to Zuo Rutong's Trinity Sect or to the Lu family behind Lu Jin.

But as mentioned before, Wang Yi is a disciple of Quan Xing Ghost Hand King, but not Quan Xing.

If you, the Ghost Hand King, were to pass on your skills to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, then before the news even reached the Lu family, Zuo Rutong would have already performed a move of the Great Ying Immortal's Sanyi Sect to wipe out all the demons.

But if it was you, Wang Yi, that would be another matter.

Not to mention that Wang Yi also learned the third level of the Sanyi Sect's Reverse Rebirth through Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, which was tacitly approved by Zuo Rutong.

Therefore, Lu Jin admires Wang Yi, the outer sect senior brother who is not a member of the Sanyi Sect.

He was a disciple of Quan Xing Ghost Hand King, but he was on the right path. He was extremely talented, and he had mastered the Eight Directions Reversal to a level that he himself could not understand. He also surpassed himself in the progress of the Third Level of Reverse Life. Before he traveled around the martial arts world, he knocked down himself and Li Muxuan, who were known as the twin prides of the Sanyi Sect, with two slaps.

Those two slaps immediately brought Lu Jin and Li Muxuan's somewhat complacent mentality back to square one at the mountain gate.

Before they actually fought with Wang Yi, they only knew that Wang Yi's cultivation was higher than theirs and his talent was better than theirs, but they didn't know to what extent.

It was not until Zuo Rutong asked the two of them to challenge Wang Yi who was traveling around the world that Wang Yi's two slaps made Lu Jin realize that the gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between people and dogs.

Until now, Lu Jin still couldn't understand how big the gap was between him and Wang Yi, but that didn't stop him from bragging about Wang Yi's strength in front of his family when he went home on vacation.

The family members had been exaggerating this to the point that their ears were covered with calluses. Furthermore, Lu Jin did not directly tell the family members that Master Wang Yi was the Ghost Hand King. Only the family elders and the Sanyi Sect knew about this in general.

Therefore, for Lu Guangda and other disciples of the same generation as Lu Jin, Wang Yi is a rare treasure that Zuo Rutong specially hid in the Sanyi Sect.

They all wanted to see what kind of person Wang Yi was, who was described by Lu Jin as the best young man of the time, on the day of the old man's birthday banquet. He made his younger brother/elder brother brag about him to the point of instigating the old man to take him as his son-in-law.

"The child is ignorant and was just joking. Brother Lu, don't take it seriously. You must know that there are always people better than you. Even if I am really the best in the world, so what? In this world, being the best in the world is just a gimmick. In peacetime, it is a good name, a great reputation, but in troubled times, it is just an empty name."

"I didn't expect that Brother Wang is such a man with a broad vision! Just based on what you said, I, Lu Guangda, will definitely make you my friend!"

Lu Guangda listened to Wang Yi's words as if he had met a soulmate. Liang Ting, who had his head lowered and was obsessed with "Diary of a Madman" in his hand, also looked up and listened to the conversation between Wang Yi and Lu Guangda, seeming to understand but not quite.

Lu Guangda seemed to have opened up his mouth. He looked out the window at the townspeople who were beaming with joy because of the birthday of the old man of the Lu family. He also looked down at the disciples of the strange sect and the local gentry who were being accommodated by the children and servants of the Lu family. He sighed and began to talk about his worries.

"Brother Wang, what you said just now really hit the nail on the head. The so-called number one in the world is really just a gimmick. Speaking of being the number one in the world, my Chinese alien lineage has a long history and a long heritage. How can it be compared with those overseas powers that don't even have many history books of their own. But look, the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Xinhai Revolution, the secular dynasties are changing, and our alien circle is also changing, but in the end, the country is no longer a country, the family is no longer a family, the people are in dire straits, the people in power are servile to the powers, and we aliens have all the means but no way to serve our country. Brother Wang, I feel so depressed!" Lu Guangda started with a tone of concern for the country and the people, and directly told Wang Yi that it would not work. No, doesn't the Lu family have someone like you?
According to your ideological awareness, you are a disciple of Yanwutang and Li Shuwen. Shouldn't your Lu family stand later than the Gao family who suffered the disaster outside the pass? Not to mention that you are Lu Jin's cousin. Lu Jin is a man who knows right from wrong better than anyone else. Otherwise, he would not have a good reputation for a flawless life.

Lu Guangda didn't notice Wang Yi's puzzled expression at this time, or rather, he just wanted to find a peer to talk about his distress. And Wang Yi happened to be on the same wavelength as him, so he spoke directly.

"To be honest with you, Brother Wang, I am actually very confused right now, because after my grandfather's 80th birthday, I will have to go back to the capital to handle the formalities and prepare to go abroad. In fact, I should have left three years ago, but it is hard to leave my hometown, and I don't know if I will be able to return home after I leave, so I have been procrastinating until now, and finally I can't delay it any longer."

"Oh? I wonder what school you are attending in Beijing, Brother Lu?"

"Yenching University, Department of Physics."

When Lu Guangda mentioned his major, Wang Yi felt as if his head had exploded. Lu Guangda, the Department of Physics, everything was connected!

Well, it turns out that in the Republic of China and later generations, it was you who took the lead and had Miss Qiu give birth to the child!
No wonder the Lu family has a high status in the secular circle in later generations. It may be because of you having such a person.

But why do you need to practice hard-core boxing at your level? You should go to the Shuzi Sect to learn the teachings. Then you won’t have to use an abacus to calculate and make your scalp tingle, right?
But Wang Yi also knew that the art of magic was not something that could be practiced easily. It required a high level of mentality. It was not that you could practice the art just because you were good at math and had a good brain. It might even make you easily go astray in the calculation of the art of magic and become a vegetable obsessed with illusion.

But after Lu Guangda told Wang Yi about his university major, he began to respect this great man who was only one or two years older than him.

Just based on his name and the fact that he will forge important national weapons for the country in the future, no matter how many Zhang Zhiweis there are, he cannot be compared to him.

"Brother Wang, why are you looking at me like this?"

Lu Guangda also noticed that Wang Yi's eyes became hot when he looked at him, as if they were going to melt him, and he immediately felt uncomfortable.

"Nothing, I just admire your concern for the country and the people, Brother Lu. But I just don't understand, studying abroad, learning the most advanced knowledge from overseas powers, mastering it, and then returning to build the country, what's so confusing about this?"

Lu Guangda shook his head and pointed at himself, Wang Yi and Liang Ting beside him.

"Brother Wang, who are the three of us?"

"An alien."

"What did I learn?"

"Physics, School of Science, Yenching University. The way of science is the way to strengthen the country and enrich the people."

"I didn't expect that Brother Wang also has some understanding of the word science. Yes, I come from the famous Lu family, and I studied under Yan Wutang and learned from Baji Grandmaster Li Shuwen, but what I learned was science..."

Lu Guangda didn't say anything else, but Wang Yi also reacted. It turned out that the root of the problem was this. It was no wonder that Lu Guangda, as the father of "Miss Qiu" in the future, would be confused at this time.

In the final analysis, to sum it up with a later internet meme: the Taoist priest told me to believe in science, then turned around and flew down the mountain on his sword.

Lu Guangda was like this. He was born in the famous Lu family. He knew about the existence of aliens since he was a child. He also became a disciple of Yan Wutang and learned the eighth-level boxing from Li Shuwen. Everything told him that there are immortals in this world. There are several sects in the alien sects that have records of immortals ascending to heaven. From this point of view, the existence of immortals casts a layer of idealism on this world.

But the Western education he received in his adolescence told him that the so-called immortals and God are actually just slogans used to fool the people, just like the Amitabha Buddha in Buddhism.

Science is the mainstream of this world. If you don't have science to promote the development of productivity, you deserve to be left behind and beaten. Not to mention that the entire modern times are a history of humiliation, and the modern times of Under One Person are also the same. Even because the aliens spontaneously resisted the invasion of the powers, they suffered heavy casualties under the powerful firepower of the powers, which added a bit of sadness to this history of humiliation.

All these are telling Lu Guangda, you see, the strange sects that you know of where immortals have appeared are completely useless against the powerful ships and guns of the great powers, and all the idealism is fake!

Lu Guangda was caught between the two concepts of his native environment and educational environment. If his mind was not firm, he might have gone crazy.

Lu Guangda is in a similar situation now. On the one hand, he is concerned about the country and the people, and knows that only science can make this impoverished and weak country strong.

But it's not like no one has tried before, such as the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, learning from foreigners to control foreigners, and reforms, but in the end, they still failed again and again, and paid compensation if they won, and ceded territory and paid compensation if they lost. Do you want Lu Guangda to still believe in science to make the country strong? But if you say you don't believe it, relying on alien means to protect and save the country, the firepower of the great powers will make the Chinese aliens understand why they are the great powers and they are the prey.

After understanding Lu Guangda's problem, Wang Yi could prescribe the right remedy, because his own process of reversing the eight directions and transforming it into the human body's magnetic field was the best answer.

"It is said that smart people tend to get stuck in a rut, and it seems that Brother Lu is no exception. But I think that it is precisely because the enemy is strong and we are weak that you, Brother Lu, should travel across the ocean to the United States to learn their most advanced technology and theories and master them thoroughly! Only in this way can we plan for the future and let the Chinese nation no longer suffer from the great powers! And Brother Lu, do you know what this method of mine is called?"

Wang Yi's words were so intense and emotional that Lu Guangda didn't notice Wang Yi's grammatical errors for a while. Why was he so sure that he would study in the United States? Instead, he was attracted by Wang Yi's next question.

"I know. Lu Jin told me. It's about turning all directions upside down."

"No, no, no, reversing the eight directions is the method of my master, the Ghost Hand King. In my place, it has another name, called the human body magnetic field. What I cultivate is the four fundamental forces of the universe, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force~"

When Wang Yi summarized the concept of force with the four fundamental forces of the universe, Lu Guangda looked at Wang Yi's smug smile and his pupils suddenly trembled. Where did this amazing wisdom come from? Using this angle to interpret the reversal of the eight directions? !
Wang Yi also opened his hands and truly demonstrated his means of human magnetic field in front of others for the first time.
