kidnap a beauty to catch a demon

This is not the first time Fang Yize has come to Xi'an.As the leader of the new generation of the Imperial Capital Association of the Demon Subduing Masters Association, Fang Yize has been dispatched to eliminate demons outside his tolerance in the past few years. In the past year, he was sent to the Shandong branch to assist them A leech that hurt people on the golden beach fell.

As the capital of Shaanxi Province, Xi’an is also the ancient capital, so there are naturally countless historical sites. On the larger scale, there are Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and the Huaqing Pool where Concubine Yang Guifei bathed in hot springs. The Bell and Drum Tower, any street or intersection, may be able to tell a historical story.

Under such circumstances, the demons, goblins, ghosts and sprites in Xi'an City are of course indispensable. Fang Yize had the experience of assisting in eliminating demons here, but it was seven or eight years ago.At that time, he hadn't become the current special demon-subduing master, at best, he came to Xi'an under the leadership of He Lao to observe the heroic appearance of the seniors in eliminating demons. It's clean, but I have a little impression of Xi'an's historical heritage and local snacks.

They picked an empty alley and landed on the ground. When Fang Yize jumped off Phoenix's back, before he could take a closer look at the surrounding situation, several golden lights flashed in front of his eyes. Yize was quite used to it, reached out and touched his nose, and when the golden light dissipated, he hugged Ji He's shoulder affectionately, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "The speed is really fast, baby! Second sister and their flight haven't arrived yet!"

Ji He turned his head to the side, just as Fang Yize's hand wearing the watch was resting on his shoulder, and with a glance from the corner of his eye, he could see the current time, exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, which is quite early!

Fang Yize thought of the "advanced training" he had when he came to Xi'an seven or eight years ago to become a demon-subduing qualification. By the way, he thought of the various delicacies in Xi'an. After thinking about the time, he slapped his thigh with regret, "It's already afternoon, we Neither of them had a single meal!"

Ji He is fine. Although he is a born phoenix, there is no such thing as "don't eat anything unless you practice it, and don't drink unless you're a Liquan", and he won't make a fuss because he didn't eat a meal or two.Fang Yize was different. After all, he was of an ordinary person's physique. He had basically not eaten much since early morning. If you count the time, shouldn't it be time to eat?Thinking of this, Ji He didn't urge Fang Yize to go directly to Fang Yilan and the others, looked around, and asked casually, "Then let's go eat first, what do you want to eat?"

Fang Yize raised his watch and looked at the time, but shook his head, planning to do business first: "Forget it, we didn't come to Xi'an for tourism, let's settle the business first! Lu Yao Although he is from Xi'an, his hometown is not in the urban area, and his parents still live in a small county not far from the urban area. I heard the second sister mentioned it before, and it seems to be Lantian County. He and the second sister should meet after getting off the plane. Go home directly, and you may not be able to meet them when you go to the airport now, let's go directly to Lantian County to find them."

When it comes to Lantian County, Jihe's impression is that it was established in the Han Dynasty, not far from the then capital Chang'an. The Lantian jade produced there seems to be quite famous, but the others are not.

Since he and Fang Yize had landed in the downtown area of ​​Xi'an, it would be inconvenient for him to transform into a phoenix and take Fang Yize there. Since he was unfamiliar with the place, he could only take a taxi or take a bus there!

Fang Yize obviously also thought of this level. As soon as the two of them walked out of the alley, they faced the majestic and majestic ancient city wall. Ah, the bus station is right here, and there is also a taxi boarding point next to it, let’s take a taxi there.”

Ji He stared at the ancient city wall in front of him for a while, then sighed with a smile: "How many years have passed, and the city wall is different, and it is quite majestic now."

As Fang Yize and Ji He walked towards the pick-up point, they casually said, "I know this section of the city wall was originally built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, more repairs were made on the basis of the Tang city wall. The current city wall gradually came into existence. When people generally talk about the ancient city wall of Xi’an, most of them refer to the Ming city wall. But I’m still curious, what was the city wall like in the Sui and Tang Dynasties?”

"It's not as good as it is now," Ji He squinted his eyes, and slowly recalled, "It's much shorter than it is now, and most of it is made of earth and stone, not the current brick and tile structure. Especially in the late Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao led troops to invade Chang'an , Chang'an City fell, and the city wall was also destroyed during their siege, and it was almost destroyed a long time ago! My last impression of this section of the city wall was that the city wall was full of flames and countless soldiers were killed and injured, which was not a good impression. "

Fang Yize raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously pulled out from his mind the memories about the Huang Chao Mutiny and the fall of Chang'an City.In the large memory that Ji He showed him at that time, the loss of life and the smoke everywhere were just the background of the story, far from being an important factor.However, at this moment, Fang Yize couldn't help being a little startled when he heard Ji He describe the scene in detail.

Even the city walls have been destroyed, so how has the entire city of Chang'an been destroyed? The portrayal of historical facts such as "all the embroidered hubs of Huaxuan are sold out, and there are no half of the first rich family" is probably the result of beautification by later generations.It's hard for the four holy beasts headed by Suzaku to remain unmoved when faced with such a scene of devastation?

After all, that memory is a part of him. Fang Yize has to admit that if he could turn back time, even if he was reluctant, he would still make the same choice.

There weren't too many people at the taxi boarding point, and it wasn't long before it was their turn.After they sat down in the back seat of the taxi, the taxi driver greeted them enthusiastically, "Where are you two going?"

"Lantian County." Fang Yize reported the destination, saw that the driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, and looked friendly, so he exchanged some pleasantries, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the master is not at home to accompany you." Wife and children?"

"Hi! Don't mention it!" The driver turned the steering wheel and drove along the wide street, and said casually, "I have discussed it with my wife and I have been driving for a year, and we plan to take a few days off during the New Year. Traveling with my son and daughter to the south for the New Year is also a fashion. I didn’t expect that there was a report in the city a few days ago, saying that there were criminals infested recently, and that law and order were being strictly enforced. Don't go to other places. Don't you think this is torturing people? How can it be so inhumane! Who doesn't want to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year? There is no choice but to continue to stay at home. I stayed at home for half a day in the morning and simply in the afternoon Just come out and make money."

In order to catch a lawbreaker, they actually put strict guard against letting people go out?Fang Yize and Ji He looked at each other, both a little surprised, Ji He thought for a while, and asked softly: "It's really inhumane, are you just telling the local citizens not to go out as much as possible? Didn't people who work outside be prohibited from coming back for the New Year?"

The driver also complained a few words: "That's not it, it's quite strange. You two talk about it, and you are trying to catch the criminals, but there is no clear regulation to say what kind of criminals it is, it is robbery." Or did he kill someone? At least there must be a reason for committing crimes, everyone is at a loss, so we can only try to be careful recently!"

Fang Yize took a naive look at the driver, feeling a little surprised.Under normal circumstances, the reason why the government/government acts in secret and is inconvenient to disclose information to the public is largely because there are indeed many things that are inconvenient to explain to the public, such as involving state secrets, and sudden supernatural events , the former is of course important, but the latter is often more common, and then related to Xi'an's ancient capital attributes, Fang Yize suddenly felt that something might really happen in Xi'an recently!

It's obviously the first day of the Lunar New Year, why don't you have a good New Year?Fang Yize sighed silently, looked up at Ji He, Ji He also frowned, leaned over, and asked him softly, "You also feel that something is wrong?"

Fang Yize nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Did you notice that the two of us have not encountered any ghosts or ghosts all the way? I didn't think there was anything just now, but now I heard the driver say it. Strange!"

"Xi'an is an ancient capital. Since it has a history of 2000 years, ghosts and ghosts have always been there, and there is nothing near the ancient city wall we just passed, which is really strange!" Ji He squinted his eyes and said softly.

But so far, all their suspicions are just suspicions, without any evidence.

So the two of them had no choice but to leave this topic aside and casually chatted with the driver about other things. The driver was also quite talkative. Perhaps because Xi'an is a tourist attraction, the driver introduced his hometown while chatting. Pride: "Listen to what you two said, you don't look like a local? Did you go to Lantian County? That place produces jade, and there are many cultural celebrities. He went there!"

The scenery outside the window is gradually changing. The mountains in the distance are undulating, and there is a faint river passing through them. Although it is winter, there is still a bit of greenery. From a distance, it is just like what the driver said. The mountains and rivers are indeed beautiful. Fang Yize couldn't help laughing : "It is said that the drivers in Beijing can talk about everything, and the drivers in Xi'an are not bad. Just listen to it and you will know that we are not locals. We went to Lantian County to find someone, and we also played two games by the way. My God, if I come across a good-looking jade, I might just buy it."

"That's a good thing." The driver didn't take Fang Yize's words seriously, and continued with a smile, "Lantian County is considered an outstanding place. There were many famous people in ancient times. Even now, there are many people. I have a My relatives teach in a middle school there. They even taught a provincial number one scholar back then. He was the child of their vice-principal. He looks good and reads well. Filial piety, he took his parents to live in Beijing a few years ago, but later the old couple were not too accustomed to life in the big city, so they came back and lived in the faculty apartment allocated by the school back then. Even so, then The child also came back to see the old couple after a while, and the money was not less. I heard from my relative the other day that the vice principal was nagging all day long, saying that the son was going to bring his fiancée back for the New Year, so he had to clean up the house quickly. Woolen cloth!"

Originally, Fang Yize was worried about how he could find Lu Yao's house when he went to Lantian County. According to what the driver said, why did this person sound so much like Lu Yao?Isn't this just dozing off and hitting the pillow?Thinking of this, Fang Yize smiled, and asked innocently: "From what you said, the daughter-in-law of the old couple is probably not bad. You have to be a fairy to be worthy of it?"

Ji He came to his senses a little bit. Hearing what Fang Yize said, he couldn't even look at him.Fang Yize spread out his hands, a teasing smile appeared on his face, there must be nothing wrong with what he said!The second sister must be like a fairy!

"Isn't that right!" Fang Yize aroused the driver's interest in chatting, and continued to gossip, "My relatives are close to them, and I heard a few words, saying that the girl also studied abroad, which is a standard Bai Fumei. But the old couple don’t want to do that, as long as the girl is nice!”

Fang Yize couldn't help but sigh, the more he heard it, the more he resembled it, what a coincidence!He paused, but still couldn't help asking: "Tell me, what's the name of his child? We also came from Beijing, so we might know each other!"

The driver was also obviously stunned. He didn't expect the passenger to be so interested in what he said, but it's okay to ask for a name. After thinking about it, he said slowly: "Is the surname Lu or Lu? I don’t remember exactly, but it’s quite a coincidence that it has the same name and surname as a writer here.”

"Lu Yao?" Ji He was startled for a moment, then asked immediately.

Without the driver's answer, the two of them had basically confirmed the answer. They glanced at each other, both dumbfounded.

"Send us directly to the gate of the middle school where your relatives teach," Fang Yize raised an eyebrow, "The person we are going to look for in Lantian County is him!"

Lantian County is not far from downtown Xi'an, and it only takes about [-] minutes to drive on the expressway. While talking, the driver has already taken them off the expressway and arrived at the boundary of Lantian County.

Not far forward, they have already entered the main urban area of ​​Lantian County.Lantian County is not too big, and the streets are relatively flat and open. It is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are many pedestrians on the street. There are still red firecrackers and shredded paper at the entrances of shops and residential units last night on New Year's Eve, which is quite a bit of New Year's excitement.

Arriving at a crossroad ahead, the driver turned the steering wheel to the right, and introduced to the two people in the back seat: "Turn this street and walk not far to the entrance of the middle school. It only takes three to two minutes. It's time to go."

Fang Yize was talking to Ji He in a low voice, he didn't care, just nodded, and was about to continue talking, when the taxi that was driving steadily ran past the roadside!The centripetal force suddenly increased, Fang Yize and Ji He couldn't help but fell towards the car door!

"Master!" Fang Yize woke up in an instant, propping the back of the seat in front of him with one hand and protecting Ji He with the other, squinting his eyes with the urge to curse, "At least you should pay attention to driving steadily, There's someone in the car!"

The driver did not speak.

Ji He's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to point at the driver. Fang Yize was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the driver, his expression suddenly changed!

#####I may not be a dead star if I don’t make trouble... Look, accidents can happen in a taxi~
