How to catch a demon god? !

Although Qiao Pingyang, as the head of the [-]th generation, has rich theoretical knowledge and practical experience in catching monsters, there is only one thing that is far behind his niece Qiao Qianyu, and that is Tianyan.There was a faint silver light on Qiao Qianyu's forehead as soon as she was born, and as she grew up, the light became weaker and weaker, and finally buried deep in her body and merged into one of the internal organs.As long as she wants to see it, even if she changes a hundred forms, there is no monster she can't find.At that time, everyone in the Qiao family was amazed.There have been only two or three descendants of the Qiao family who have opened the eyes of the sky. This is the best proof that Qiao Qianyu was born as a natural demon catcher.

Qiao Pingyang didn't have such a convenient ability as Tianyan, so this time he also wanted to drag Qiao Qianyu to Li Zhaiben's house and let her take a look, which would save him a lot of effort.

It's a pity that my niece doesn't help, so I can only go to check the situation alone alone.

Without any hesitation, Li Tianze's body would not last too long, so Li Yue made an appointment with Qiao Pingyang to pick him up early the next morning to visit his home.

Li's house is located in the villa area of ​​Qingshui Road. Different from the townhouses, Li's house is a detached house with a considerable area.So that after Li Yue drove into the area of ​​Li's house, he drove for about 5 minutes before arriving at the entrance of the villa.

A housekeeper welcomed them in at the door.

Mr. Li sat down on the sofa in the center of the living room, and the rich old woman on the left probably was Mrs. Li.

"Uncle, aunt, this is Qiao Pingyang, Teacher Qiao whom I mentioned to you two." Li Yue raised his head aloud, then looked around as if looking for someone, "Where is Tianyi? Why isn't he here?"

Mr. Li nodded slowly, his thick and chaotic voice sounded a little tired, "Tianyi is guarding him in Tianze's room. He is waiting for you." He looked at Qiao Pingyang slowly as he spoke, as if he was appraising this person Is it credible? After a long while, he asked, "Mr. Qiao, I heard that you are the No.18 descendant of the Qiao family. Do you know Qiao Ran?"

Qiao Pingyang nodded modestly, "He is my grandfather."

As soon as the words fell, a ray of hope suddenly burst out from Mr. Li's cloudy eyes, "That half-immortal is actually your grandfather! So that's how it is, so it's so...Okay, very good, Xiaoyue, hurry up and take Mr. Qiao to see Look at Tianze..."

Li Yue hastily agreed, bowed and took Qiao Pingyang up the stairs to the third floor.

So Qiao Pingyang saw the real life of the young master of the Li family for the first time in the bedroom with a cool and indifferent interior style on the third floor.The one who was lying on the bed motionless and poking the bottle with his back was obviously the eldest son Li Tianze. Sitting beside the bed, his brows were frowning and his face was blackened. He was far from the usual high-spirited image in the media. It must be the young son Li Tianyi. That's right.

Li Yue coughed lightly, and introduced Qiao Pingyang according to the gourd drawing.

Li Tianyi hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Qiao Pingyang. Seeing that his face was livid, he probably didn't close his eyes after taking care of Li Tianze for several nights.

"Mr. Qiao, Brother Yue must have trusted you when he came to you. Come and see what's wrong with my brother. How could he suddenly become like this..." Li Tianyi spoke urgently, holding Qiao Pingyang His hands were tightly clenched, as if grasping at the last straw.

Qiao Pingyang exchanged pleasantries with him, withdrew his hand, and turned to the bedside to examine Li Tianze's situation.I saw the handsome Mr. Li with his eyes closed, his lips slightly opened, and his chest covered with a thin quilt rising and falling slightly with his even breathing. The appearance of sleeping soundly and sweetly is even a bit endearing.

The two sons of the Li family don't look alike at all.Li Tianyi and Mr. Li are very similar, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, square and strong jawbones, and healthy wheat-colored skin. Why does Li Tianze look clear and watery, with a sickly pale complexion, but the color of his lips is light rice red, a bit of watery lotus the meaning of.Instead, it complemented his cold bedroom style.

Qiao Pingyang checked Li Tianze's pulse, and carefully checked his Tianling acupoint, and soon realized that Mr. Li probably lost his soul at this time, and the remaining soul was not enough to maintain normal human functions, so fell into a temporary coma.

Water hibiscus.Um?Hibiscus?

Questions flashed through his mind.Qiao Pingyang leaned down and sniffed Li Tianze's body, and there really was a kind of hibiscus fragrance that seemed to be there.

He thought for a moment, then asked straightforwardly: "Young Master Li, is this your own?"

This question made both Li Yue and Li Tianyi look embarrassed. Li Yue said first, "Old Qiao, why do you ask such a question? Of course Tianze is his own. We grew up together since we were young."

Li Tianyi hurriedly nodded and seconded, saying that was exactly the case.

Qiao Pingyang gave a "hmm" and asked again: "But Li Tianze's appearance has changed a lot, right? So big that he can't even appear in front of the media calmly now."

This makes sense, Li Tianze didn't take some mysterious route to deliberately not expose, but he had a reason why he couldn't be exposed.That is, appearance.

The cousins ​​of the Li family were poked to the point of pain, and their faces showed embarrassment.

Li Tianyi and Li Yue exchanged acquiescent glances, and said with a little hesitation: "Mr. Qiao is really a master, and you can tell my brother's situation at a glance... To be honest, my brother looks very similar to my old man. It was carved out of the same mold. This strange thing happened many years ago, and my brother’s appearance didn’t become like this overnight. Hey, I don’t know how to describe it... It’s like a kind of subtle, little by little. For a long period of time, we didn’t notice anything wrong. When one day I suddenly felt that my brother’s appearance and temperament seemed to be a different person, it had been about two years. After that, the appearance was finalized, it was you This beautiful face that I see now. The complexion is somehow getting paler every year."

Li Yue followed with a sigh, took the babble and continued to explain: "That's it. I have hired many famous doctors in private, but no one can see what's going on, and there is no sign of bone changes in a CT scan. In addition, the personality is also It's like a different person... Amaze Mingming has loved nature since he was a child, and has always wanted to be a naturalist one day. He has no intention of going into business, nor does he want to take over the family business..."

Qiao Pingyang listened and nodded, "I guess after the changes in appearance and personality, Li Tianze is willing to take over the family business. Mr. Li should be overjoyed, and he didn't care about the strangeness and kept it a secret."

His appearance has changed, just hide his face.The eldest son who was born on the same day is willing to take over the family business and has outstanding abilities, so it must make Mr. Li feel proud.Now, maybe because I didn't pursue it at the beginning, the elder son who was on the top of my heart lost his soul and fell into a coma. If I told him the truth, I don't know if Mr. Li would feel remorse in vain.

Li Yue and Li Tianyi responded to Qiao Pingyang's speculation with silence.

At this point in the question and answer, Qiao Pingyang had made up his mind, and asked Li Yue to show him the garden of Li's house, as well as Li Tianze's favorite places to visit before he changed.Believe that you will be able to gain something.

three days later.

Qiao Qianyu, who finished the book review on the deadline, finally had time to talk to her poor uncle.Her long jet-black hair, which was normally draped softly behind her back, was tied into a high ponytail by her, capable and energetic.This is her fixed look when hunting monsters, her hair won't get in the way, and she looks very handsome with her horse tail fluttering in the wind after reciting her heart formula.After being intoxicated in front of the full-length mirror for two seconds, Qiao Qianyu picked up the gossip mirror and threw it into her bag and hurried out.

In the taxi, Qiao Qianyu reconfirmed the text messages sent to her by her uncle, which are:

Article [-]: After the manuscript is finished, come to Li’s house at the northernmost end of Qingshui Road

Rule number two: Hurry up!The guy lying down can hardly hold it anymore!You can't get any money if you go with one foot

Article [-]: Not good yet? ?I said earlier that you are not suitable for any literary work, so let's make a fortune with my uncle

"..." A few veins popped out on her forehead unconsciously, Qiao Qianyu quickly took a deep breath to calm her mind, so as not to crush the screen of the phone in a hurry.

Holding back his anger, he dialed Qiao Pingyang's phone, and the other end answered almost instantly, "Xiaoyuer! I knew you would never forget to help uncle."

Qiao Qianyu snorted, and said disdainfully: "It suddenly occurred to me that the editorial department asked me to discuss the matter of next month's column today, and I can't come. You can do your best alone."

"...Xiao Yu'er, my uncle is wrong, my uncle shouldn't have said that you have no talent for literature."

"Ah, yes. What else?"

"...Come here, my uncle will introduce you to a handsome guy."

"Who cares!" Qiao Qianyu rolled her eyes, not wanting to continue arguing with her childish uncle, "I'm coming here now."

In the garden of the owner of Li Zhai, there are several figures in twos and threes standing beside the huge koi pond.

Qiao Pingyang was squatting by the pool with a cigarette in his mouth, and in his hand was the slice of toast he asked the housekeeper to bring, and he broke it into small pieces and threw them into the pool, causing the koi to scramble for bait. It was very lively.

Li Yue and Li Tianyi also stood aside, chatting from time to time.

After a while, the butler led a beautiful girl with high ponytail and leather boots.After announcing "Miss Qiao is here", he retreated on his own.

The slices of toast in Qiao Pingyang's hand were getting smaller and smaller, and finally he simply threw them all into the pool, patted his buttocks, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Xiao Yu'er is here. Come, let's get acquainted. This is the No. 19 generation of Qiao Qianyu, Miss Qiao Qianyu."

Qiao Qianyu shook hands with Li Yue and Li Tianyi one by one, but retorted reflexively, "I haven't agreed to take over yet."

Li Yue would occasionally come and go to Qiao's courtyard, so he had actually met Qiao Qianyu a few times, but he didn't know that Qiao Qianyu, who seemed to be a woman in the new era of the 21st century, would actually be able to "catch demons"?

Li Tianyi couldn't move his eyes away after seeing Qiao Qianyu.Although Qiao Qianyu's face is small and delicate, she is definitely not considered a top-notch beauty, but she has a stern air all over her body, making her look like a flower growing on the tip of the snow-capped Changbai Mountain. The flower of kaolin has a mysterious attraction.

"The specific situation?" Qiao Qianyu, who was a little uncomfortable being stared at, brought up the business and planned to pack it up early and finish it early. It is true that someone in the editorial department made an appointment to discuss, but the appointment was at night.

Qiao Pingyang raised his chin and motioned her to look at the center of the pool.

In the center of the koi pond is a piece of water hibiscus that has passed the season and is about to wither. There is only one of them, which is in full bloom.

"The eldest son of the Li family has lost his soul. I'm afraid it has something to do with this water lotus." Qiao Pingyang said as he stubbed out the cigarette butt, and put it in the ashtray he carried with him. "According to the memories of the old servant of Li's family, this pond of water hibiscus existed when the house was built. At that time, the pond was surrounded and built into a koi pond. It has been at least two hundred years. The flowers bloom very well, and one plant even lasts a year. The four seasons are in full bloom. The Li family regards this as a good fortune and has taken good care of it till now."

"Mr. Qiao, so is this Furong weird?" Li Tianyi tried to follow Qiao Pingyang's train of thought.

Qiao Pingyang nodded.

Qiao Qianyu brushed her forehead with her fingertips and opened her eyes.

I saw that the only blooming water hibiscus was coiled with crimson demonic aura, rising from the roots, entwining every branch and leaf, and covering the whole plant like a spider web.

"This water lotus is very spiritual. I'm afraid it hasn't been idle for 200 years. It has indeed become a demon through cultivation."
