"Let's go, take me to see your research." Zhanyue learned to be smart this time, and he didn't scatter eagles if he didn't see rabbits.

"Well... Good. The old man didn't refuse, and led Zhanyue to his home.

After going around most of the city, Zhanyue finally saw the old man's home in the depths of an alley. To Zhanyue's surprise, the old man's home turned out to be a small courtyard. In the school capital, where every inch of land is valuable, it is really rare to have such a large courtyard.

"This is your house?" Zhan Yue looked at the courtyard, which was very large but already very desolate and dilapidated inside.

"Yes, my ancestors are also a big family, and I still have a knighthood, but others are almost forgetting about me." The old man replied that he had even forgotten what kind of lord he was in his generation.

"What do you call it?" Zhan Yue asked again, followed the old man into the courtyard, the courtyard was very dilapidated, it had not been cleaned for a long time, the leaves were all over the ground, and the stones were moss.

"My name is Bai Bole, and now everyone calls me Bai Lao Wei." The old man replied, leading Zhan Yue straight to the largest main room.

Zhan Yue followed in, looked at the empty room and sighed, I am afraid that the furniture inside has already been sold by the old man for money. "Are you going to live alone?"

The old man nodded, "That's right, I also married a wife when I was young, but my wife couldn't bear it and left me." After speaking, the old man touched the top of his head, and his full head of white hair turned out to be the hair cover he was wearing, and under the hair cover was gray hair.

Zhan Yue's eyes widened, "Are you a Death Pact?" ”

The so-called dead deed is the kind of person who has broken the contract of the contractor and returns to the mortal from the deed, they are even more pitiful than mortals, after all, mortals still have the opportunity to become the deed, and the dead deed is not only about the same strength as mortals, but also has no chance to rise, so the status is the lowest among all people. It was the first time Zhan Yue had seen the deceased deed, and it was very rare for the deed to survive because the deed's deed was broken.

"Hey, when I was young, I also cultivated to the Xuan Sect. It's just that I don't know when I offended someone who shouldn't have offended, and ended up in such a field, and my cultivation was abolished, and my wife ran away. The old man's expression was a little depressed.

"How did you keep such a big family business?" Zhan Yue looked at the house, can an ordinary person who has not cultivated really be able to keep such a large property?

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "What to keep?" No one bothered me. ”

"No one bothered you for so many years?" Zhan Yue was puzzled, every inch of land is expensive, this courtyard covers an area that is really not small, it is not at all like a wealth that an ordinary person can keep, the old man actually said that no one has come to trouble him for so many years, I am afraid that it is not simple behind this matter.

"No matter, it's all a trivial matter, you come with me." The old man turned a lampstand on a wall, and it turned out to be a mechanism. As the trap opens, a secret door appears in the wall. Entering the secret door and going down the stairs, Zhanyue came to a basement. The basement was lit by bright stones, and it was not dark, but it was very cluttered, densely packed with all kinds of strange things.

"This is a research on a one-man flying vehicle." The old man said, pointing to something that resembled a rocket backpack.

"This is half of the mysterious weapon I invented at the beginning, even ordinary people can use it, and it is theoretically very powerful." The old man pointed to a half-assembled, sniper-like thing.

"Well, there's a Dire in this cage that is attached to a rat and can't get rid of it. I paid a lot of money for a mystic monk to get it for me, just to do research. The old man was holding a cage that was covered with a cloth to prevent it from being illuminated by the bright stone. There was a rat in the cage, which I should say was a dried rat, but the dried corpse was free to move because it was possessed by a very weak Dire, and it was somehow sealed in the rat's body.

Seeing these things, Zhan Yue was sure that what the old man said was not entirely a lie, as if he was really doing research.

"So you haven't researched anything really useful for so many years?" Zhan Yue asked puzzled.

The old man said with a bitter face: "I don't know what's going on, at first I would be very interested in a certain topic, and even forget to sleep and eat, but as soon as the research is halfway through, I will immediately lose interest and give up halfway, even if I know it's wrong, but I just can't control myself." However, new research topics will be found soon, and this will be repeated repeatedly, and nothing will be achieved in the end. It's as if cursed. Over the years, I have basically sold out everything that can be sold at home, and I can only go outside to solicit sponsorship, but there are only a few who are willing to sponsor me. ”

"Cursed?" Zhan Yue's eyes lit up, before the goddess of Tongming said that this old man was cursed, and now he was very sensitive when he heard these two words. "Do you think you're going to give up halfway through whatever you do?"

The old man nodded, "I used your money to study the habits of this Dire, but one day I suddenly lost interest, and I found a broken armor from an antique shop that no one wanted, and found that it was a super ancient relic, so I began to study it again." ”

The old man took out the armor from the chest under the table, the armor was made of steel, and now it was rusty, and it was said to be an antique, but there was nothing strange about it.

"Is there anything to study about this thing?" Zhan Yue picked up the broken breastplate and looked at it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

"You can't see anything when you look at it this way." But the old man took out a glass bottle, which contained a bright red and black liquid, and then poured it on top of the armor, and the smell of blood filled the air.

"What's that?" Zhan Yue asked.

"Beast blood." The old man replied.

But I saw that the metal armor soaked in the blood of the beast suddenly moved, absorbing all the blood, and then the texture became soft, turning from metal to something like animal skin.

"This? What is it? Zhan Yue was surprised.

"I found some clues from ancient records, this thing is likely to be the active armor of a super ancient civilization, and I don't know more about it. I'd love to figure it out, but alas, I don't even have the money to buy more blood. The old man said regretfully.

As he spoke, the beast-skin-like armor turned into a metal form, and there was no mystery to be seen.

"It's amazing." Zhan Yue thought about it, he was not short of money, what if this thing was useful to him? "You take the money first, and then contact me when you run out, just report it directly to the doorman."

Looking at the large bag of purple gold coins, the old man's eyes lit up. He doesn't love money, but research costs money. "Thank you, thank you, Childe."

"You can't give up halfway this time." Zhan Yue said again.

"Definitely, definitely." The old man nodded again and again, but he was not sure in his heart.

Leaving the old man's house, Zhan Yue's doubts were even heavier.

"Sister, do you see the identity of this old man?" Zhan Yue felt less and less that this old man was an ordinary person.

"It's true that he doesn't have any cultivation, he's a dead deed, it's just... Someone was secretly protecting him, and he probably didn't even know it. "The goddess of Tongming naturally sensed the people in the shadows.

"Someone is secretly protecting?" Zhan Yue is not surprised, "Yes, how can he be an ordinary person who can guard such a large courtyard, there must be someone secretly protecting him, but he doesn't know, who is it?" Could anyone else see that this old man is extraordinary? Or is it the wife he said had long since left him? Zhan Yue only thought of these two possibilities, but there was no need to check it out at the moment, and he would come here next time when he had time to see the progress of the old man.

"Ancient reactive armor? It's kind of interesting.,It seems to be a very old thing.,Even sister, you don't know.。 Zhan Yue muttered, it can be regarded as a good harvest.
