Chapter 8: The Old Monk (1st Update)
At this time, there was a gem the size of an earthy yellow baby fist suspended in the transparent glass cabinet, and the gem exuded a faint light around it, which was very charming, Cheng Ming looked a little stupid, and involuntarily stretched out his right hand to touch the crystal cabinet, and at the moment when Cheng Ming's right hand touched the crystal cabinet, the gem suddenly burst out with a strong light, and Cheng Ming only felt a flower in front of him, and he didn't know anything.
······
Thousands of miles away in the belly of a mountain in the former capital of China, a large conference room sat a few people, because the light was relatively dim, they couldn't see their faces clearly, only knew that they seemed to be discussing something, suddenly a young man with the appearance of a soldier walked into the conference room and said to the person who was the leader.
"Report to the chief, the scientific research department has detected that the gem in laboratory 0186A has been activated, please ask the chief for instructions."
The person at the head was silent for a long time when he heard the news, and finally said in a voice with joy in his old age, "It's finally going to start, tell the people in charge below, pay close attention to the situation of other laboratory gems, and start to implement the "Dragon Awakening" plan at the same time. ”
"Yes, Chief," the soldier gave a standard military salute and turned to leave the conference room.
After the soldiers left, the conference room was quiet for a moment, but the haze that had previously shrouded the conference room had begun to dissipate.
"Yuan Yang Zhenren, you see that you have to bother to run again this time."
The old man at the head stood up after a moment of silence and spoke to the person on his left.
"The chief is polite, and the old morality is duty-bound."
······
"Daddy, Daddy, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Ming was shaken by Ke'er for a while, slowly woke up, rubbed his aching head, and slowly opened his eyes, and saw Ke'er squatting beside him anxiously looking at him.
"Dad is fine, I fell asleep just now when I was a little tired."
As soon as Cheng Ming finished speaking, Ke'er suddenly rushed into Cheng Ming's arms and cried.
"Dad, you're scared to death."
Cheng Ming touched his daughter's head dotingly and comforted.
"Dad is fine, good Ke'er, don't cry."
Cheng Ming looked around while comforting Ke'er, and suddenly found Lin Fan standing next to him, staring at the yellow gem in the crystal cabinet with his eyes, Cheng Ming asked puzzled.
"Xiaofan, what are you looking at?"
Cheng Ming's voice woke Lin Fan up, and he whispered uncertainly.
"Uncle, I think I've seen this stone somewhere."
Cheng Ming was surprised this time, and looked at Lin Fan's expression carefully, it didn't seem like he was lying, Cheng Ming turned his head to look at the gem again, it seemed to be a little brighter than before, and then asked uncertainly.
"Xiaofan, where have you seen this gem?"
Lin Fan thought for a long time before replying.
"Uncle, I don't know, I just feel like I've seen it somewhere."
Cheng Ming saw that he couldn't ask why, not to mention that Lin Fan was still so young, where could he have seen it, it was probably because he had seen something similar when he was a child, so he didn't ask anymore.
Cheng Ming helped Ke'er up and stood up himself, anyway, he didn't want to think about it, so he walked out of the laboratory with the two little ones and came to the hall.
The next few days were relatively comfortable, because there was no danger, and the food was very sufficient, Cheng Ming every day in addition to looking at the information left by this laboratory, that is, to teach the two little guys to read, although there is no school exam in this era, but the words still have to be known.
However, after staying here for a week, Cheng Ming found that this research institute was actually very close to the exit at the other end of the air-raid shelter, and it would take about ten minutes to get out, and the entrance of the cave was also a standard military building, with a very thick iron gate, so in the following days, they had one more job, that is, every once in a while, they would go out to dig some wild vegetables and come back to replenish their nutrition.
Such days are very comfortable and fast, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Fan is 7 years old, and Ke'er is also 5 years old, but what amazes Cheng Ming is that he doesn't know if it's because of this era or something else, these two little guys don't look like children of this age at all, Lin Fan's height has grown to 1.6 meters, and Ke'er is also about 1.4 meters, which makes Cheng Ming really amazed.
On this day, Cheng Ming took Lin Fan and Ke'er out of the air-raid shelter again, dug up wild vegetables around, and when they were looking carefully, a figure suddenly appeared not far away, Cheng Ming didn't notice it at first, but then the person got closer and closer, and the sound of inadvertently stepping on a branch caused Cheng Ming's alarm.
Cheng Ming hurriedly protected the two children behind him, and looked at the person vigilantly, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart, 2 years of comfortable life made his vigilance greatly reduced, so that people could get so close and not be discovered. No, Cheng Ming is also secretly glad, this is fortunate that it is a person, if it is an alien creature, I don't know how many times I have died.
The person who came was an old Taoist with a white beard, and the robe on his body was a little shabby, but his spirit was very good, his eyes were full of luster, without a trace of impurities, Cheng Ming was even more confused when he saw the person who came, in this era, there are still Taoist priests?
Seeing Cheng Ming's vigilant look, the visitor laughed, and then said to Cheng Ming.
"Cheng Jushi don't be nervous, old Taoist Yuanyang, passing by here this time, there is no malice."
Cheng Ming saw that the old Taoist priest was so humble, and the vigilance in his heart relaxed a lot, but after hearing the name of the old Taoist priest, he felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Dao Chief, where are you going?" Cheng Ming was still a little uneasy, and asked cautiously, he didn't want his secret base to be discovered by others, so he directly asked where the people were going.
Lao Dao heard Cheng Ming's words, looked at Cheng Ming meaningfully, and then said.
"Lao Dao is looking for a person, a person who can change the world, Cheng Jushi, have you ever seen this person?"
Cheng Ming had already determined in his heart that this Taoist priest was a god stick at this time, the world was like this, and he changed the world and changed Maomao, but... Wait, how did this old Taoist know that his surname was Cheng, he didn't care too much because he was too nervous before, but he suddenly reacted at this time, and his face changed greatly, Yuan Yang, Yuan Yangzi!
Cheng Ming looked at the Taoist in horror, and stammered in his mouth, "You~You~You~"
He kept stepping back as he reached out to protect the two children behind him.
Seeing Cheng Ming's expression, Lao Dao knew that he had guessed his identity, so he said.
"Cheng Jushi, don't panic, Lao Dao really has no malice."
"You~ you've been spying on us?"
Lao Dao nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, but we are not monitoring you, but something else, as for why I know your surname Cheng, it is because of other reasons, I will explain this to you later." And I've been around here for a long time, but I don't know why, there are quite a lot of alien creatures around here, and I thought of a lot of ways to slip over, and it's really a bit ·····"
Before he could finish his words, he felt the ground around him begin to shake, as if some large creature was approaching.
"Oh no, Cheng Jushi, let's talk about it in the Advanced Research Institute, it seems that Lao Dao's whereabouts have been discovered."
After speaking, he beckoned Cheng Ming to run towards the air-raid shelter, and the familiar look was as if he had lived here for 2 years and not Cheng Ming.
