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

"Master Yue?" In the ramen shop, a handsome young man spoke up. His Japanese, which was not very proficient, felt like a breath of fresh air in his ears. He looked at the small sign on the counter that served as a menu and said, "Please give me I have two servings of tonkotsu ramen.”

"I want a side of barbecued pork ramen."

Kiritani said.

"This guy should be a foreigner visiting Japan."

Master Yue threw the spare noodles he had prepared before into the boiling water, talked to Lu Mingfei, and felt a little more relaxed.

"I just finished my tour at Yushima Cathedral," Lu Mingfei pulled Su Xiaoqiang to sit down, "I heard Kiritani say that Master Yue has been a ramen master for decades? Then I'm looking forward to Master Yue's craftsmanship."

"I have been making noodles here for decades. Although I can't say that I can compete with the top ramen chefs, my regular customers are full of praise for my craftsmanship," said the man with gray hair. The old man smiled with his eyes narrowed, the corners of his eyes wrinkled together, and his eyebrows twitching, "They all said that taking a sip of the ramen soup I made in the cool rain is more comfortable than going to a custom shop to touch a girl's thigh. .”

"Then I'll give it a try!"

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up, and Su Xiaoqiang, who couldn't understand Japanese, didn't understand why he suddenly became interested.

Master Yue glanced at Su Xiaoqiang, shook his head and said, "Brother, if you are going to compare my ramen with the thighs of the girl next to you, please forgive me for admitting defeat in advance."

"Did he look at me just now? What was he talking about?"

Su Xiaoqiang asked Lu Mingfei curiously, and Master Yue's hand paused slightly while loading the ingredients on the table.

Just when Lu Mingfei was about to speak, Master Yue said in broken Chinese: "Beautiful girl, I congratulate your boyfriend for being favored by a beautiful girl like you."

Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Master Yue in surprise.

Master Yue's Chinese is not very good. Although his pronunciation is very standard, it is also very mechanical and lacks the feeling of conversation. It looks like he has learned it systematically but barely uses it.

"Master Yue, can you speak Chinese?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. Considering that Master Yue's Chinese was not as good as his Japanese, he asked this question in Japanese.

"I have taught myself from books and Chinese movies," Master Yue said in blunt Chinese, "My mother is of mixed Chinese and French descent, so I am one-quarter Chinese, so I am one-quarter Chinese."

As Master Yue spoke, he took some more ingredients and put them on the table.

"Master Yue, have you ever traveled to China?"

Lu Mingfei should also use Chinese.

"I have been wanting to go for decades. There is something I have to do, but I have never had the chance." Master Yue lowered his eyelids, with the old man's air lingering in every move. "I probably won't have the chance in the future either. "

In Lu Mingfei's perception, this old man was very strange. The proportion of dragon in his aura was close to that of the village chief in the Nibelung, but he was more peaceful and stable, with no trace of dragon characteristics in his body.

However, when Lu Mingfei explored his aura more carefully and deeply, he found that these auras were like rootless duckweed. Although they were strong, they lacked a foundation.

This kind of phenomenon usually only appears in the strong people who are nearing the end of their life. The village chief who has a higher bloodline than this old man is close to three hundred years old and is still full of vigor and vitality.

According to the contemporary village chief himself, the previous village chief lived for a full 370 years, and his bloodline was stronger than that of the previous village chief. It is possible to live to be 400 years old.

If this old man is indeed nearing his end of life, he should be over three hundred years old.

Lu Mingfei didn't know his identity, but at present it seemed that he was just an old man who wanted to spend the last days of his life in peace.

Lu Mingfei and Master Yue chatted one after another. Because the language of the chat changed to Chinese, Su Xiaoqiang also joined the chat. Only Tong Gu, who didn't understand anything, stared at him.

"Okay, your face!"

Master Yue placed three bowls of noodles in front of the three of them. Tong Gu, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but speak: "Master Yue, did you give me less side dishes?"

In front of Kiritani was a very ordinary bowl of barbecued pork ramen. The evenly thin barbecued pork was placed on the noodles. The surface of the thick soup base had an attractive oily sheen. The warm aroma dispelled the dampness and cold brought by the rain.

This is a very good bowl of ramen, even if it is the signature ramen among specialty ramen, it is only comparable to it. Master Yue's decades of craftsmanship are fully reflected in this bowl of ramen.

However, compared with the two bowls of ramen next to it, it seemed a bit shabby.

Naruto roll, scallops, seaweed, soft-boiled eggs, dried bamboo shoots, shredded green onions, tempura shrimp...

The dazzling array of ingredients almost completely covers the noodles, and is a large height above the rim of the bowl, like a crane-headed vase filled with blooming jasmine, hibiscus, purple sun and lisianthus.

"It's not less," Master Yue spread his hands, "I just added a little more side dishes to that little brother and lady."

Kiritani glanced down at the slices of barbecued pork in his bowl, and then at the clusters of flowers in Lu Mingfei's bowl next to him. He suddenly felt as if he saw a green peacock standing next to his own Nagoya Cochin Chicken.

He looked at Master Yue silently.

"Okay, don't look at me like that," Master Yue picked up two more slices of barbecued pork and put them into the bowl of Tonggu. "Others have come all the way from China to travel to Japan. Why should I give them more preferential treatment?"

After getting two slices of barbecued pork, Tonggu's mood obviously improved a lot and he talked to Lu Mingfei.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, when you came to Japan, did you go to Tokyo Bay? I heard that there was a dolphin show there some time ago. It was a traveling circus that performed there."

Kiritani said.

"Tokyo Bay? I haven't gone there yet, and I'm not interested in the dolphin show either."

Lu Mingfei shook his head, thinking that Xiao Tian is much smarter than a dolphin if I want to watch a show.

"But I heard that a dolphin escaped from the circus yesterday. The circus used a baffle to enclose a piece of water in Tokyo Bay. The dolphin was performing in the baffle. An employee accidentally opened the baffle a small crack. The dolphin The dolphin took the opportunity to knock off the barrier and escaped into Tokyo Bay. Then it disappeared into the water and has probably swam back to the sea now."

Kiritani told the story after swallowing the noodles in his mouth.

"That's a good thing," Lu Mingfei picked up a piece of Naruto scroll, "Being a free wild dolphin in the sea is more free than being raised in a circus. I heard that dolphins are very smart. If they are raised, It’s easy to get depression.”

"Indeed, but I heard that the people in the circus take good care of the dolphins. Although they will starve during training in the circus, they will not starve to death like wild dolphins, and there is no need to worry about being hunted and attacked. , someone will regularly clean them of parasites, and they will be treated if they are sick..."

"A dolphin living in the circus might rather die of starvation and illness in the sea," Master Yue said coldly, "please others like a clown in the circus, no matter how well cared for it is, so what? That escaped dolphin Fortunately, it escaped its originally gloomy and hopeless fate.”

"Eating the freshest and most delicious fish, playing in the pool with beautiful female dolphins, but they can never leave the shadow of their captivity. They will never forget the days when they split the waves with their dorsal fins in the sea before being caught in the circus. , but there was only a pool of dead liquid in the pool surrounding them."

"Dolphins are the top predators. Dolphins that can chase schools of fish in the ocean currents are the elves of the sea. Those raised in circuses and fed are just livestock for performing and making money, just like cows that are used for milking and eating meat. Like sheep, they will remain livestock until their death, trapped in a cursed snare and unable to escape forever."

Master Yue's expression was calm, but the dough in his hand spilled out from between his fingers due to his strong grasping.

Tong Gu was surprised that Master Yue suddenly said such a long and philosophical sentiment. Lu Mingfei secretly thought that maybe every old man would have unusual experiences in his life. Only Su Xiaoqiang, who did not understand Japanese, blinked and did not know what Master Yue was doing. What does long speech mean.

After eating noodles at Master Yue's place, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang chatted with Master Yue for a while. Master Yue told them that his surname was "Kato" and his name was "Kato Yue".

But Lu Mingfei remembered that Yuan Zhisheng told him that all hybrids in Japan came from the eight Sheqi families, and there were only eight surnames, among which the surname "Kato" was not included.

Although he felt that Master Yue had used a false name, Lu Mingfei had no reason or position to express doubts. He said goodbye to Master Yue and Tong Gu and left with Su Xiaoqiang.

He planned to strongly recommend Master Yue's noodle stall to Yuan Zhisheng when he returned.

He didn't know whether Yuan Zhisheng knew about the existence of Master Yue, and whether Master Yue was an elder of the eight Sheqi families who came here to live in seclusion to live in retirement, or whether he was hiding here with other purposes and waiting for an opportunity to take action - he had not forgotten the previous days of Old Tang. Tian was attacked by the enemies of the Sheqi family on behalf of Yuan Zhisheng.

If Yuan Zhisheng knew about the existence of Master Yue, then he was worrying too much. Although it was a coincidence that he met Master Yue by chance, there was nothing suspicious about his behavior. The most Yuan Zhisheng could say was "what a coincidence", it was more of a coincidence anyway. They have already encountered this.

If Yuan Zhisheng doesn't know about the existence of Master Yue, then he can only pray that he will come here to eat noodles because of the recommendation and discover some unusual details about Master Yue. He should be able to find out something by then.
