Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【There must be worries under the reputation】

After finishing a set of punches, Mu Qiu seemed to be completely exhausted, and fell to the ground with a plop.

There was not even a transition, so fast that Chu Qingtian didn't even react.

Lu Xun was the first to rush over, grabbing Mu Qiu's shoulder and trying to shake him awake, "Qiuqiu, don't sleep yet, hit the boxing again!"

Mu Qiu grunted twice, waved his hands impatiently, and continued to sleep.

"Sleep later, Qiuqiu, sleep later..." Lu Xun half-kneeled on the lawn, his tone almost pleading.

However, Mu Qiu drank too much and fell asleep, no matter whether it was reason or brute force, it would not work.

Chu Qingtian patted Lu Xun on the shoulder, knelt down and hugged Mu Qiu up.

Lu Xun turned to look at him, with undiminished excitement in his eyes.

Simon didn't know what happened, but just grabbed Lu Xun's arm worriedly.

A hand with well-articulated bones pressed lightly on Lu Xun's shoulder.Lu Zechen covered the complicated expression in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't rush at this moment, don't rush at this moment..."

He murmured and repeated it twice, not knowing whether he was trying to persuade Lu Xun or himself.

-

The next day, Mu Qiu woke up under the anticipation of the crowd.

Looking at Lu Xun standing beside the bed and Lu Zechen sitting - Vice-captain Lu, who was always well dressed and had his hairstyle in place, felt a rare sense of decadence at this moment.

Mu Qiu was stunned for no reason, "Deputy team? Director Lu? You..."

"Together with Xiao Xun, we call him Third Uncle." Lu Zechen said hastily.

Mu Qiu blinked, and looked at Chu Qingtian inexplicably.

"Qiuqiu, hit that set of punches yesterday," Chu Qingtian reminded.

"Ah?" Mu Qiu looked blank, "What punch?"

Lu Xun's expression cracked instantly, and Lu Zechen couldn't help crying and laughing.

Chu Qingtian sat next to Mu Qiu in embarrassment, and reminded in a low voice, "You saw Lu Xun boxing while drinking yesterday, so you practiced with him for a while, remember?"

Mu Qiu shook his head, and smiled embarrassedly, "How can I punch, yesterday...did too much?"

"You called yesterday!" Lu Xun said eagerly, "Qiuqiu, think about it..."

Lu Zechen also stared at him intently, clenched his hands unconsciously.

Mu Qiu thought very hard.

Three pairs of eyes stared at him with different expressions.

Mu Qiu muttered embarrassingly: "Speaking of boxing, I only learned Taijiquan. When I was in school, I used it as radio gymnastics..."

Lu Zechen's gaze suddenly turned sharp, and his tone revealed obvious eagerness, "Qiuqiu, what did you say you learned just now?"

"Tai Chi..."

"Yes! That's the name!" Lu Zechen finally couldn't hold back, showing an excited expression.He grabbed Lu Xun's arm and said excitedly: "Lujiaquan used to be called Taijiquan—before it was lost!"

Mu Qiu finally heard the smell, and quietly asked Chu Qingtian, "Did I drink too much yesterday?"

Chu Qingtian nodded.

"Are you practicing Tai Chi?"

Chu Qingtian continued to nod.

Surprisingly, Mu Qiu immediately explained in a panic: "Director Lu, deputy team, I didn't learn that... Lujiaquan!"

Lu Zechen curled his lips, looking at Mu Qiu as if he was looking at a golden baby, "You really didn't learn by stealing—unless you picked up the boxing manual lost by the Lu family."

Mu Qiu waved his hands again and again, "I didn't find it!"

Lu Xun looked at him dumbfounded, "It's not easy to pick it up, you have to be born more than 2000 years earlier."

Mu Qiu's hangover mind turned twice, and only then did he understand the meaning of Lu Xun's words, "Did you lose it so early?"——this way he was relieved.

"Qiuqiu, you just said that you have learned Taijiquan, and it is complete—right?" Lu Xun tried to ask calmly.

"Many years ago, I forgot..." Mu Qiu looked at Chu Qingtian as if asking for help, feeling a little guilty.

"How can you remember? Have some more wine?" Lu Xun's words didn't look like a joke at all.

Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment.

Chu Qingtian frowned.

Lu Zechen also shook his head at Lu Xun reproachfully.

Lu Xun grabbed Chu Qingtian's arm, with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "Qingtian, you know—"

"I know, I know—give Qiuqiu some time, okay?" Chu Qingtian embraced Lu Xun's back, forming a gesture similar to a hug.

Lu Xun closed his eyes hard, tried to adjust his breathing, and forced himself to calm down.

Mu Qiu looked at this, then at that, and blinked innocently - did he... miss something?

-

Mu Qiu stood in the center of the venue, with a row of spectators sitting in front of him.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and think back to the high-pitched female voice you used to be very familiar with, "Tai Chi 24 moves, prepare to—"

The first form, starting momentum.Raise your head with your hands, separate your feet, and squat down slowly.

The second type, the left and right wild horses divide their manes.Left-right-leg action.

In the third form, the white crane spreads its wings...

After doing the No.12 style in a row—high exploration of horses, Mu Qiu couldn't do it anymore.

In fact, even the first five poses are completely devoid of the bipolar and yin-yang charm of the previous night.

——After studying for three years, why don’t you have any impression now?

Mu Qiu sat down on the ground in frustration, and looked at Lu Xun with great guilt, "Deputy team... I really, really can't remember."

Lu Xun rubbed his sore temples, his eyes were bloodshot - he hadn't closed his eyes for more than 30 hours.

Simon stretched out his mental tentacles distressedly, and touched Lu Xun's forehead gently.

Lu Xun seemed to have sensed it, and subconsciously touched the touched place, and happened to touch the soft tentacles.

Simon's spiritual realm trembled, and he looked at him in surprise, "Can you feel it?"

Lu Xun nodded.

Simon's eyes lit up, "When did it start?"

"Last night." Lu Xun pointedly looked in Mu Qiu's direction.

Simon followed his gaze and suggested, "Otherwise, you can do it again and let Qiuqiu see it, just like last night—maybe he will remember it."

Mu Qiu nodded repeatedly.

Naturally, Lu Xun would not refuse - even if there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to try.

Start again from the starting position.

Mu Qiu obediently sat aside and watched.

Compared with the calmness and composure in the past, Lu Xun's gestures are obviously a little more firm and hopeful.

Then, until he finished the first eighteen poses that existed in the Lu family, Mu Qiu still sat there "obediently", watching quietly.

Even when Lu Xun finished his closing posture, he clapped his hands excitedly - I haven't watched anyone do Tai Chi for many years, it's awesome!

However, in the huge training ground, there was only Mu Qiu's sudden applause.Even the little ones looked at him with disappointed expressions.

Uh...Mu Qiu finally realized this, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

"Qiuqiu, it wasn't like this yesterday." Simon couldn't hide his disappointment in his tone.

"Luobo also wants to see Qiuqiu boxing!" The little guy fell asleep early yesterday and didn't see Mu Qiu boxing. He has been annoyed by this for a long time.

"Pumpkin wants to see it too!" Pumpkin said naively as always.

The little green vine twisted her body, kicking left and right in mid-air, as if punching.

Not to be outdone, Xiaoxuelian nodded, and yelled, "Mother hit! Mom hit!"

"It's punching..." Mu Qiu corrected in a low voice.

"Punch!" the little mermaid repeated crisply.

Mu Qiu couldn't bear to let everyone down, but he couldn't remember it.

He scratched his ears impatiently, and said suddenly: "How many more glasses of Bronte shall I have?"

The words were for everyone, but Mu Qiu looked at Chu Qingtian.

All eyes were on Chu Qingtian.

Chu Qingtian was silent for a moment, and could only nod his head, "Three cups, I have the right to try."

"Yeah!" Mu Qiu obediently agreed on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking secretly, a few glasses or a few bottles, until he remembered!

As a result, just as Mu Qiu was worried, after drinking three glasses of wine, his tongue became straight, but he didn't remember any of the subsequent actions.

Strange to say, it was as if the memory was taken away by someone, and there was no memory at all.

Lu Xun even showed Mu Qiu the family boxing manual, but it didn't help at all.

Mu Qiu was also anxious, he ignored Chu Qingtian's black face, and drank one cup after another, not even knowing when he fell asleep.

So, Mu Qiu didn't wake up until he left the imperial capital.

-

There is a name more and more appearing in the upper circles of the imperial capital - Chu Qingtian.

What?You haven't added his communication number yet?Then you are out!

Don't look at him as just an inconspicuous logistics captain, a guide who can't stand up to others and has a lot of money.

Have you heard of the Treant planet just discovered?The one that is rich in thorny fruit trees and amethyst is under the name of that guide!

By the way, there is also the Nandu Caravan, which specializes in some high-end flower businesses—my family likes the Bingdi flowers with the Nandu logo, saying that the flowers in his family bloom especially for a long time, and the meaning is very good!

Does the Jinjiang system know?Cute little J, you can scan the real map of the spiritual body-it's amazing to think about it!

Do you know what kind of friends you make?The second heir of the Wolf family!

Rock Wolf?No, no, Locke Sentinel has to go to the back row. The second heir is a guide. He was raised by Major General Wolfe since he was a child. The pair of puppet cats who participated in the spiritual body beauty pageant some time ago - aren't you still praising him? It's so cute—that's the spiritual body of the Wolf family's little guide!

Oh, yes, speaking of the mental body beauty pageant, the little robot that won the grand prize-my goodness, is too cute and cultured!That is the spiritual body of Chu Qingtian's guide!

……

Under the deliberate propaganda of Mai Zhe's staff, words such as Chu Qingtian, Little J System, and Nandu Caravan unknowingly penetrated into the social circle of the imperial capital like spring breeze turning into rain.

-

The imperial capital, the residence of Marie Rhine.

Bieber didn't get any advantage at the birthday party of the little friend Jiahe, and was beaten up by Chu Qingtian, he couldn't swallow that breath, and always wanted to find a chance to take revenge.

If Mary Rhine hadn't happened to use him later, I don't know what crooked tricks he would come up with.

Bieber helped Mary Rhine finish that job smoothly, and Mary was quite satisfied, and assigned him other jobs one after another, each of which was more and more confidential-there was no lack of temptation.

Speaking of which, Bieber can be considered to have some talents, and with those minions around him who are used to playing tricks, he really has a way of doing those shady things.

Mary was satisfied and trusted him more and more.

Nalan naturally got a lot of benefits from it, and the direct impact was—Mary Rhine officially accepted her as a student.

Since then, Nalan's status and reputation among the guides has risen to the sky - of course, such things as reputation and status will only have an effect on those who care about it.

Anyway, Bieber thought he was doing well, and when he was complacent, he heard more and more news about Chu Qingtian.

Even after beating Bieber to death, he didn't expect that Chu Qingtian, who has no money, no power and no background, can really get along in the imperial capital!

Why is he? !

Doubt, frustration, jealousy, grievance... Under various emotions, Bieber was so angry that he couldn't restrain his violent spirit at all.

Sensing his emotions, Nalan ran over in shock and stretched out her mental tentacles reflexively, trying to sort out for him.

The moment Bieber saw the guide, he instinctively showed a gesture of attachment. However, at the moment when Nalan's spiritual tentacles touched his forehead, Bieber suddenly let out a roar - mixed with endless pain.

Nalan was also taken aback, feeling the fluctuations from the tentacles in a daze—both familiar and unfamiliar.

With a grim face, Bieber suddenly pushed Nalan out, and growled in a low voice: "Get lost——"

Nalan's thin body hit the hard wall straight, pain and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

"What the hell did she do to you?!" Bieber stared into his scarlet eyes and asked through gritted teeth.

Nalan opened her mouth, a look of bewilderment flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, the sound of "dongdong" footsteps came from the solid wooden stairs.

—The floor of Mary Rhine's house was never covered with rugs, and it was very noisy to walk on.

Bieber maintained the last trace of expression, trying to adjust his expression, and did not continue to ask further questions.

At this moment, someone pushed open the door and stood aside, revealing the proud and gorgeous figure of Mary Rhine.

Mary Rhine looked at the mess in the room and frowned in disgust.She coughed lightly and gave the man by the door a wink.

Daniel nodded respectfully, and when he turned to Bieber, he showed a superior expression, "What happened? Guide Mary needs an explanation."

Bieber suppressed the cruelty in his eyes, pursed his lips, and made a reckless and angry look.

Mary Rhine raised her chin, looked at him with lowered eyelids, and snorted self-righteously, "After all, it's your 'brother', right? ——Speaking of which, he's quite famous recently, even I've heard of it .”

Bieber snorted heavily, as if provoked again by the person in Mary's mouth.

The contempt in Mary Lain's eyes flashed, and she said unhurriedly: "It's not pleasing to others, just find a way to solve it, what's the point of using the wizard to get angry?"

As she spoke, she winked at Daniel, "Go, guide Nalan back to the room, and let the sentinel calm down alone!"

After speaking, he turned around and left first.

Daniel gently helped Nalan up, and gave Bieber a sarcastic smile.

Nalan's eyes showed worry, but Bieber avoided her.

The pain in Nalan's eyes was obvious. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something about being rescued, but because of Daniel's presence, she couldn't say it.

Bieber was alone in the room.

He slumped down on the cold metal chair, his gray eyes were blank.

-

Mary Rhine leaned back on the large sofa softly and bonelessly, slowly fanning the lid of the cup with her hands.

The crimson nails were soaked in the steaming heat, and there was an invisible sense of eerieness.

After a while, she said leisurely, "Let's not talk about that brat Bieber, even I don't like those people..."

She paused, lowered her head and sipped her tea, and continued: "Speaking of which, there are a lot of people who don't like them, how about just finding a fault? Don't care who it is, lest I can't bear it..."

"Tch——" Mary giggled, her bright red lips looked a little scary under the dim light, "Why can't I bear it? Why can't people bear it with me—just do it!"

In the last sentence, she almost roared—the ferocious expression on her face was extremely terrifying, how could she still have half of her usual kindness and nobility?
