When I was supposed to be slaying the dragon, I accidentally started cultivating immortality

In his daze, Old Tang seemed to see a city.

On the dark earth, there stands a stern bronze city. It has not been rusted like the bronzes in the museum, so it shows a true color close to gold. Bronze pillars reaching the sky stand in the city. Under the moonlight, the copper pillars are intricately decorated. Complex text is barely legible.

Above the Bronze City, there is a sky dotted with stars. Between the stars, a little red light flashes and magnifies, leaving a trail of flames among the clouds like a shooting star.

It grew bigger and bigger, from far to near, from a star to like the sun.

Then the sun will set on the earth, in the center of the Bronze City, and the flames will sweep out in all directions, spreading like a tide through the streets made of bronze, leaving behind molten red gold and copper juice along the way.

A man wearing snow-white dark clothes stood at the highest point of the entire Bronze City, standing on the top of a bronze pillar. The cold wind from high in the sky blew his clothes, and his long untied hair was flying like ink.

Old Tang stood next to him, as if he was in two time and space, and the other party did not notice him. He looked down, and the flames spread in the city.

"I never imagined that the Blood Thief could do this."

The man in white spoke a language that was not human. Old Tang had never learned it, but he could understand it.

The howling wind between the heaven and the earth suddenly became ten times and a hundred times more violent. The figure with huge wings spread fell from the sky - falling from the sky higher than the bronze pillar, the wing membrane incited the howling wind between them.

"I never thought that you would kill me at the slightest sign of your neck."

The figure was revealed. He was wearing dark black clothing. Except for the dragon wings on his back and the red gold in his eyes, he had no dragon features. He was handsome and handsome, and his black hair was tied up with a velvet rope.

"Are you really a bloodthief? Rather than some hidden prince or duke?"

The man in white asked.

"I am the emperor."

The man in black said.

"You know that's not what I'm asking," the man in white shook his head, "Where is my brother?"

"I will send you to see him."

The man in black pulled out a sword from the air, a ferocious, twisted, formless flaming sword.

"By you?"

The man in white sneered.

"And me!" A figure rushed up to the bronze pillar, "Deng Yu, the Marquis of Gaomi, came with your Majesty to pay a visit to the White Emperor's Chief Situ."

"Quanjiao Hou Ma Cheng, come to take the head of Da Situ."

"Huaiyang Marquis King Ba, please die for the great Situ!"

…

"Liu Jun'an, a scattered alchemist, has met Da Situ."

More than a dozen figures surrounded the man in white in the middle, and the sneer on his face gradually stiffened.

"ah--"

Old Tang suddenly stood up from the bed, sweat pouring down his body, and it took him a while to recover.

"My dreams have become more and more frequent and weird lately..."

While muttering, Old Tang took off his pajamas, walked into the bathroom and took a shower, put on his clothes, put the Galaxy Pot in his backpack and went out.

…

Chicago, in a private room of a high-end restaurant.

"This is the Sun-Tuan Stone. It's not convenient for me to show up. You take it, call this number, find a girl named Keya Okoluo, exchange it with her for the stone slab of the Mogao Grottoes, and then send the stone slab back." China, find a well-known museum and donate it.”

Lu Mingfei handed a wooden box and a piece of paper to Old Tang.

"Okay! I'll do the work, Brother Fei, don't worry!"

Old Tang patted his chest at Lu Mingfei.

"Well," Lu Mingfei nodded and asked, "How much is the commission fee?"

"It's just a matter of convenience. I won't accept the money from you, Brother Fei. Can you help me see how my situation is? I've been having strange dreams lately. Isn't that guy in my mind about to wake up?" "

Old Tang leaned his head towards Lu Mingfei.

"Go, go, don't come so close to me."

Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand and pressed Old Tang's face and pushed his head back: "Lie on the table and squint for a while. I'll take a look in your dream."

Old Tang obediently lay on the table and started snoring after half a minute.

Lu Mingfei used Dream Entering to sneak into Old Tang's dream.

Ten minutes later, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and shook Old Tang awake: "Get up, don't sleep, the diagnosis result is out!"

"What's going on, Brother Fei? Can I still be saved?"

Old Tang wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Overall, although the memory of the dragon in your body is indeed more active than before, it is still within a safe range. As long as you don't get stimulated, there will be no problems in a short time."

Lu Mingfei said with relief.

"That's good, that's good."

Old Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Austin, Texas, USA.

According to the location mentioned by the girl on the phone, Old Tang found a bar - a shabby old bar.

This is a poor area of ​​Texas. Even the sign of the bar in front of him has turned yellow, and some of the letters are on the verge of falling off. Fortunately, he can still recognize the name - Curry Rooster.

What a weird name.

Muttering in his heart, Old Tang walked in with his bag on his back.

The bar was deserted, with four or five people drinking, but the strange thing was that they were all separated. No one had any intention of talking to others, and they were all drinking alone - let alone an American bar. This is not normal in bars around the world.

There is only one girl among these people. She is wearing a slim-fitting gray short-sleeved T-shirt, revealing her snow-white arms. Her legs wrapped in jeans are slender and plump. Her eyes are beautiful black, bright and energetic, with long eyelashes and a black hair that hangs down to her shoulder blades. hair.

"I'm looking for the peregrine falcon."

The girl was sitting in front of the bar. When he walked to her side, Old Tang took the initiative to speak.

"Who are you?"

The girl asked, holding a glass of clear liquid with floating ice cubes.

"Puma."

Old Tang said with a stupefied expression, feeling vaguely regretful that he had designed his joint code to be so inaccurate.

"This is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

The girl drank the clear liquid in the cup, left a dollar bill on the bar, turned around and walked out.

If Old Tang hadn't already smelled that there was no smell in her cup and it was most likely pure water, this act of drinking it all in one gulp might have been a bit heroic.

Follow the girl out of the bar, turn into a remote alley, and then turn into an even more remote alley.

Old Tang relied on his skill and courage to follow the girl without hesitation.

About ten minutes later, they walked into an ordinary single-family house, and then the girl somehow turned on some mechanism in the house, and a secret passage appeared in the study room of the house.

Old Tang followed the girl down the secret passage, walked through the long and narrow passage, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

There were no expected heavy guards coming to search you. This room hidden behind the passage was like an ordinary living room, with sofas, coffee tables, and TVs all available. It was just that the space was much larger, and the floor was made of wood, with half of the area There was a carpet on which two children, a boy and a girl, who looked to be teenagers, were wrestling together.

"Please ignore them," the girl held her forehead and smiled apologetically at Old Tang, "I am Keya Oculo, are you here to exchange things on behalf of that adult?"

"Ronald Tang, regarding that guy, just call him 'Xiao'."

Old Tang said that Lu Mingfei had made up a fake name.

"Xiao...is it a code name? I heard that most Chinese names have two or three characters, and very few have one character."

Keya asked.

"Well, it is not convenient for his identity to be exposed, so he is called by a code name. Is there any problem?"

Old Tang asked.

"No," Keya shook his head, with a hint of expectation in his tone, "Mr. Tang, did Mr. Xiao... come with you? Or, will he come forward?"

"The sun-chaining stone is here with me. He has full authority to entrust me to exchange it for him. If I don't come, it won't affect anything."

Old Tang shook his head.

There was a hint of disappointment in Keya's eyes, and she immediately restrained herself. She turned around and walked over to the boy and girl who were still struggling together. She kicked each of them hard: "Stop making trouble and go get your things out!"

"Yes! Sister!"

"Okay, sister!"

The two children immediately separated from each other, got up from the ground, and then ran nimbly into a door.

"I asked them to get the slate that Mr. Xiao asked us to keep. Don't worry, we used professional techniques to protect it." The girl smiled at Old Tang. "My brother and sister are still very reliable when doing business. It's just that We are used to fighting with each other."

"Brother?" Old Tang looked dazed for a moment and said subconsciously: "Your brother is very cute."

Recently, he always felt that he should have a younger brother.

Keya was stunned for a moment.

Why younger brother? Do men think men are cute?

She couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it. Instead, she took Old Tang and sat on the sofa together.

After a while, the girl opened the door, and the boy walked in from the door holding a glass box. In the box was a stone slab that had been fixed and protected.

"The stone slab is here," Keya said, "please let me see the sun-chaining stone."

"it's here."

Old Tang took out the box containing the Sunstone from his schoolbag and opened the box. The transparent polyhedral crystal lay on the soft cushion, with an orange-red light shining through it.

"Yes, it's the Sunstone." Keya suppressed the excitement on her face and eyes, stood up, took the glass box from her brother, and handed it to Old Tang, "This is the stone slab that Mr. Xiao asked us to keep. , now it returns to its original owner.”

"The same goes for sun-chaining stones."

Old Tang exchanges with girls.

"Um...Mr. Tang, please..." Keya bit her lower lip lightly and asked with some expectancy: "Can you give me Mr. Xiao's contact information? He not only helped us get back the sun stone, He also saved my life at Sotheby's and I want to thank him personally."

"No need, he doesn't want to show up, and he doesn't want anyone to know his identity," Old Tang shook his head, "He asked me to tell you that saving your life was just a small effort, there is no need to thank you."

"Is that so... I understand," Keya nodded and whispered, "Please express my gratitude to Mr. Xiao on my behalf. He has contact information. If he needs me to repay something, he can contact me. I can do it." If it comes, I will definitely not refuse.”

Seeing Keya's expression of disappointment, Old Tang thought to himself, Brother Fei, you are a hero who saved a beauty and captured her heart! What a crime you are doing! commit a sin!

"I'll tell him."

Old Tang said seriously, and added in his mind: "If you have a chance, I'll tell my sister-in-law Fei by the way."

…

"What's the point? Do you think this power source is theoretically possible?"

Sitting on the office chair, Lu Mingfei pointed at the complex three-dimensional model on the screen and asked Director Akadulla.

The model of the alchemical matrix on the screen is just an overall outline. In fact, it is composed of hundreds of three-dimensional small alchemical matrices, a dozen transfer matrices, and six core matrices. He has already put the complete model together before. Let Director Akadulla take a look.

"It can be done! It can definitely be done!" Director Akadulla looked extremely excited and patted the armrest of the office chair vigorously. "I will assign your subordinates now to form a research team and first make a prototype of this power source. .”

"The research team does not need it. This thing is not very complicated. I can handle it by myself," Lu Mingfei shook his head. "The key point is whether we have enough materials. Ordinary materials cannot make this power source."

Director Akadura showed a somewhat troubled look on his face: "To be honest, if you just want to make a prototype of a power source, the burden of materials is no problem at all, but after all, this thing is just an engine. If you want it to function To be effective, it must at least be equipped with a transmission device and control system, right?"

"If you want to make a super sports car according to your idea, then if you want to withstand its powerful power output, all the metal parts of the car must be high-grade alchemical metals, the tires cannot be ordinary, and the glass must be specially made. Otherwise, we might fall apart while running..."

"So, it can't be done for the time being?"

Lu Mingfei was not too disappointed. This situation was within his expectation - at worst, he could limit the performance and make a low-cost castrated version.

"It can be done, but the materials are not cheap and will cost a lot of money. Even if the entire equipment department's private funds are filled in, it won't be enough, so we can only go to the school board to apply for the purchase," Akadulla The director sighed, "It seems that the funds I usually spend are not enough."

Lu Mingfei:......

Is it really okay for you to be so blatant?

"By the way, there is another way!" Director Akadulla slapped his thigh, "Let's go find the vice principal to get investment!"

"Vice-Chancellor?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In terms of wealth in the entire school, the vice-principal, who is the number one alchemist in Europe, must undoubtedly be at the top of the list - although he may not have much money in the account, but the wealth he has accumulated other than currency, It is estimated that he can get close to an elder family of the secret party.

"That makes sense. I'll go find my elder brother to discuss the investment."

Lu Mingfei pushed open the door of the director's office and walked towards the corridor on the left.

"You're obviously going the wrong way. If you want to go out, you have to go to the right."

In the office, Director Akadulla reminded him through the door that was not closed.

"That's right. I'll go to my room first and take Si Ming with me."

Lu Mingfei didn't look back.

Since there was no need to carry Si Ming with him in school, Lu Mingfei simply took Si Ming out of the Book of Heaven and placed it in his room.

After returning to the room and picking up his sword, Lu Mingfei turned around and walked out of the equipment department.

Then at the door, he met two unexpected people.

"Brother Caesar? Why are you here?"

Lu Mingfei looked at Caesar and Nono standing side by side in front of him with a surprised look on his face.

"Lu Mingfei? Do you want to go out for something?"

Caesar was not very surprised. He had known for a long time that Lu Mingfei was a researcher in the Equipment Department, and it was normal to meet him in the Equipment Department.

Nuonuo stood next to Caesar and subconsciously took half a step back when she saw Lu Mingfei - she had secretly "profiled" this person in the car before, and the results she got made her even more confused now when she thinks about it. Can't help but feel creepy.
