Above the stars

Lu Whisper put her hands in the pockets of her overalls and walked very fast. Seeing that she was about to disappear from the corner in front, Tang Bandit hurriedly shouted: "Lu Whisper."

Lu Whisper turned to look at Tang Bandit and asked expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you something." Tang Bandi looked at Lu and whispered, thinking about how to choose his words.

What if she has nothing to do with the old man?

After all, Lu is a popular surname on Xinxing. Not to mention just the same surname, there are many people with the same name and surname.

"If you want to ask, just ask. Don't waste time." Lu Wuyu was obviously impatient with the waiting and urged.

"Do you know a person named Lu Yu?" Tang Bandi looked into Lu Wu's eyes and asked aloud.

"I don't know him." Lu Wuyu replied in a cold voice without any hesitation.

"Oh" Tang Bandit nodded and said with a smile: "That's okay, that's what I want to ask."

Lu privately glanced at Tang Bandit coldly, then turned and left.

Tang Bandi looked at Lu Whisper's back and pondered the authenticity of her answer.

If she didn't know the old man, why did she say "Why do you want to come back" just now?

Is it deliberately concealed? Or a drama queen?

Or maybe the old man’s real name is not Lu Yu. Lu Yu is his pseudonym?

Forget it, don’t think about things you can’t understand.

When I have the opportunity to return to my old land, I will find the old man and ask him face to face.

Suddenly, another thought came into Tang Bandit's mind.

She said "Why do you want to come back?" This sentence was definitely not directed at herself and Xiaopang. If that was the case, it would not be "Why do you want to come back", but "Why do you want to come".

The subject of "you" refers to the old man.

"Did the old man also return to Xinxing?"

Tang Bandit shook his head.

If the old man returns to Xinxing, he will definitely contact them.

Even if he committed something, he and Xiaopang are not the kind of people who like to betray and report others.

Tang Bandit just felt like he was in a state of confusion, and there were countless threads tangled in his head.

Back in the classroom, the students were already dismantling the snake head.

Tang Bandit put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart for the time being, calmed down his mind, and began to stand by and observe and learn.

These students entered school before me, and some have already studied mechanical knowledge for many years. His hands-on ability and understanding of mechanical products are far superior to that of a novice like Tang Pi. Now is the critical moment for him to eagerly learn knowledge and absorb nutrients.

Seeing Lu Whisper's gorgeous performance, Tang Bandit's idea of ​​"what exactly is a machine?" suddenly became clear.

Maybe, I can be like her in the future?

"Classmate." Tang Bandi poked the arm of a boy next to him and asked aloud: "Why is our monitor so powerful?"

"Because her surname is Lu." The boy replied in a matter-of-fact manner.

——

Where there are machines, there are Gongshu and Lu families.

Since Master Lu Ban founded the discipline of craftsman thousands of years ago, it has been applied in all aspects of life under the inheritance and promotion of future generations.

The Gongshu family is one of the best. They usually don't show off, but every huge technological change is closely related to them.

From the hoe and sickle at the beginning, to the aircraft and cannon later, until before the cataclysm, there was a huge mechanical revolution in mankind.

The emergence of star saucers and super starships allows humans to quickly travel between planets.

The application of various high-tech weapons and intelligent machines also has their silent hard work and dedication.

This is an industry that no one can avoid. However, it is rare for people to see the name of the Gongsulu family in public places.

They are so low-key, so low-key that it's a bit weird.

This is also their consistent law of survival, and it has been like this for thousands of years.

Lu Whisper was from the Gongshu Lu family. After she came out of the class, she drove directly back to the Lu family.

The Lu family has an ancestral home in Luban Mountain. The direct descendants of the Lu family and some core technologies are here.

It is said that Luban Mountain has many structures, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is difficult to break through even an army of 100,000 people.

There is another saying that one family is better than three armies.

Lu Whisper parked the car in the yard and walked straight towards a small courtyard on the left.

She knocked on the door, and the iron gate of the small courtyard opened in response.

The iron gate slowly shrinks to both sides, as if it can be completely integrated and overlapped.

After Lu Wu entered the door, the iron gate was pulled out again, completely covering the courtyard.

A middle-aged man with a Chinese character came out of the inner room. When he saw Lu Whisper coming back, the man smiled and asked, "How come Whisper is back free today?"

"Is he back?" Lu whispered looking at the middle-aged man and asked.

"You idiot, who are you talking about? I don't even know his name, so how do I know if he's back?" The middle-aged man looked at Lu Whisper with a confused look on his face and said aloud.

Lu Whisper had been watching the changes in the middle-aged man's facial expressions, unwilling to miss a single detail, and said aloud: "You know who I'm talking about."

Lu Zhiyong looked at Lu Whisper, sighed softly, and said, "Whisper, you should know that if he comes back after being away for many years, can he still hold back and not see you?"

"What can't he do?"

"Whispers."

"I saw a man in school, named Tang Bandit, who used his "useless heart". Only he knew this technique. "

"Useless intention? Didn't he announce this technology? There are many Lu family members who know this technology."

"You don't want to ask who Bandit Tang is? But you are trying hard to explain that many people know this technique." Lu whispered sneered again and again.

"Whispers, why don't you believe what my second uncle said? If I deceive others, can I still deceive you?" Lu Zhiyong said with a wry smile.

Lu privately glanced at him coldly, then turned and left.

"This girl"

When Lu whispered and walked away, Lu Zhiyong said loudly: "Are you really not seeing me?"

An old man appeared quietly behind him, staring at the closed iron door with greedy and sad eyes. It seems like you can still see some residual figure from there.

If bandits Tang and Xiaopang saw it, they would definitely cry out in alarm.

This is the old man they mistakenly thought was still in the old land, who was their godfather.

"I don't see you." The old man shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "What can I do if I see you? What can I change if I see you? You should hate or you will hate."

"The fact that she came to ask for news about you shows that she still cares about you in her heart." Lu Zhiyong comforted him and said: "Back then, when you left without saying goodbye, and then suddenly disappeared, how could you whisper so much? I was angry, and that was it. That’s understandable.”

"I understand. I don't blame her at all. I am the one who is wrong. I owe her too much."

"and you."

"Let's get down to business first." The old man interrupted Lu Zhiyong and said, "At this time, I can't expose it yet."

"But Whisper is already suspicious." Lu Zhiyong said aloud: "If she targets Tang Bandit, what should you do? It is only a matter of time before she is exposed."

"If I'm not wrong, she has been targeted by Tang Bandit. She doesn't know how to hide her emotions. I'm afraid that guy has already figured out the clues." The old man frowned deeply. "Based on what I know about him, I'm afraid he has already stepped forward to test it. This is why Whisper came back aggressively."

"Then do you want to meet them?"

"The time is not yet ripe." The old man shook his head and refused, saying: "The relationship between him and the princess is too close, and the royal family will not rest assured. I am afraid that there are many informants around him, and anyone who appears will be included in Chen Fenglei's "blacklist" "."

"If Chen Fenglei's old dog smells something suspicious, things will be troublesome. Many people will be in danger, including you."

"What danger am I afraid of?" Lu Zhiyong said aloud: "Since I dare to bring my eldest brother back from the old soil, I have already prepared for the worst."

"Senseless bloodshed is meaningless." The old man shook his head and said, "Give me some more time."

"What kind of time do you want? What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for the best opportunity." The old man said aloud. "Wipe the sword sharper, and it will be faster when cutting people in the future."

"Whose hand is that sword?"

"No one can manipulate him." The old man said with firm eyes, "The only one who can manipulate him is himself."

——

Tang Bandit was practicing his sword in the gravity room.

Every sword strike seemed to be as heavy as a thousand weights, and every sword almost exhausted all the strength in his body.

Xiaopang can swing a hammer under twenty times the gravity, Tang Bandit feels that he is a practitioner, and he wants to set an example for his younger brother

So I used twenty times the gravity as the starting point, and then struck down with one sword after another.

Soon, he felt shortness of breath and stiff movements.

This is not an assessment or competition, so the training conditions in the gravity room will not be broadcast to the outside world in real time.

No one could see his state at this time, but he knew that he could see it himself.

He needs to become stronger and stronger.

You are strong and you are a kind of madness.

You are weak, which is a fault in itself.

The weak prey on the strong, and this is true everywhere. Whether old soil or new star.

The goal that Tang Bandit set for himself was a thousand swords.

There are still eight hundred swords left.

When Tang Bandit came out of the gravity chamber, his body was exhausted and his legs were weak, as if a gust of wind could knock him down.

His face was pale, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he felt like he couldn't lift the long sword in his hand.

His clothes were all soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Teacher Ran Ran rushed over quickly, supported Tang Bandi's arm, and asked, "Tang Bandit, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"That's right, I just don't have the strength." Tang Bandit wanted to laugh, but found that the muscles on his face couldn't move anymore.

"You must control the intensity of training in the future. Going too far is not enough. Starting from tomorrow, you will train according to my schedule." Ran Ran seems to be really concerned about this student Tang Bandi, fearing that he doesn't know how to control the rhythm, and will get into trouble as soon as he starts. I hurt myself through practice.

There used to be some very talented students in the ancient martial arts department, but they worked too hard and ended up exhausted. She didn't want Tang Bandit to follow in their footsteps.

"It's okay." Tang Bandi explained with a smile, "If you don't push yourself, you won't know where your limits are."

"That's not such a trick," Ran Ran said loudly, "Let's go, I'll help you apply for a recuperation cabin, and you can go in and recuperate for a while."

Recuperation cabins can quickly help students recover mentally and physically, but because they are so expensive, there are only three in the entire martial arts hall.

Therefore, teachers need to apply specifically to use it.

Otherwise, if every student uses it after exercising, how can this be ranked high?

"Thank you, teacher." Tang Bandi said gratefully.

With Ran Ran's help, Tang Bandit finally enjoyed the treatment of Xiaopang, sleeping in the recuperation cabin for two hours.

By the time Tang Bandit came out of the recuperation cabin, it was already dark and many people rushed to the cafeteria for dinner.

"Brother, are you okay?" Xiaopang had already come out of the gravity room. Knowing that Tang Bandit had lost all strength after training, he had been waiting anxiously at the door of the recuperation cabin.

"I'm fine." Tang Bandit said with a smile.

Ran Ran looked at Tang Bandi carefully from the side and said: "Well, it does seem to be recovering well. Classmate Tang Bandi, I seriously protest to you. You must not make such a mistake again in the future. In case you practice a Who should I talk to about my problem?"

"Yes, according to Teacher Ran's arrangement." Bandit Tang said with a smile.

He felt that Teacher Ran Ran really cared about himself and his physical condition.

It feels so good to be cared about.

"We need to train scientifically and find the right method. Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort." Ran Ran was very satisfied with Tang Bandit's attitude and said with a smile: "I have already made a training plan based on your situation, and it can be completed tonight. Starting tomorrow From the beginning, you will train according to my schedule."

"Bandit Tang, you believe that we are professionals in this area."

"Okay, okay, listen to the teacher."

At this moment, a loud voice sounded in the lobby of Budokan:

"Where is Bandit Tang? Do you dare to accept my challenge?"

Tang Bandi glanced at Ran Ran and asked aloud: "What is going on? Can students still fight with each other? I suggest that the school expel such a troublemaker."

"This is not a fight," Ran Ran explained aloud: "We are an ancient martial arts department, and this is a martial arts gym. Any student can challenge his or her favorite opponent. The school does not prevent this behavior, and even encourages it."

"So, I am their favorite opponent?" Bandit Tang asked.

"You defeated Shen Qingping with the middle level of air control. You are very popular in the school, and your forest combat video has an amazing number of views. It is normal for someone to challenge you."

"Only by defeating famous people, I can't quickly become famous. There are many people who rely on this move to get to the top."

"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong." Bandit Tang said with emotion. "Can I say no?"

"Of course." Ran Ran nodded and said, "This competition will only take effect if both parties sign a letter of challenge. However, this will have a certain impact on your reputation. Others will think you are timid and afraid of fighting."

"Oh." Bandit Tang nodded and said, "I refuse."

"."

I would like to ask weakly: Dear, do you have a monthly pass?
