Li Jinglong didn't answer, and the silhouette under the light paused before Hongjun pushed the door in.

"Go out." Li Jinglong said, "Who taught you to break into the boss's door?"

Hongjun scratched his head and had to push outside the room to look in. The carp demon stood at Hongjun's feet, resting his head on the threshold and glancing inside.

Li Jinglong made the bed, straightened up, and turned to glance at Hongjun.

"Did I cause you trouble?" Hongjun said, "Does it matter?"

Li Jinglong took a deep breath, and Hongjun thought he was going to get angry again, so he took a step back.

"How old are you?" Li Jinglong looked at Hongjun and asked instead.

Hongjun reported his age, and Li Jinglong said solemnly: "Take care of your demon. If you slip out and scare people, you just go home, not as an example."

The carp demon was boring and ran away. Hongjun said, "Don't drive me away. I will be careful. I already have a home and can't go back."

Li Jinglong was startled, Hongjun was so bored, turned around and walked through the corridor to the West Wing.

The room was full of dust, and Hongjun had no bedding, so I had to find a plank for one night to make do. Seeing that there was a sheepskin hunting jacket on the plank, Morigen had covered it first, so he lay down on his dirty clothes. Fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Jinglong stood in the patio, with a dozen porters by her side, carrying large and small bags, large and small burdens, and said: "Put it in the patio." So Hongjun gave the money again. Hongjun was surprised and stepped forward. Look, I saw that there were bedding, cotton wool and other things, as well as daily necessities, pots and pans, four treasures of the study... Obviously Li Jinglong bought it back.

"Wow!" Hongjun said, "Is it for us?"

"Public stall." Li Jinglong said blankly, "Pen Lu Li buckle." Then he strode to the West Wing, kicked the door with his foot, kicked the door of Ah Tai and Qiu Yongsi open, and shouted angrily: "Get out of here. Come out! What kind of kiln to go shopping without sleeping most of the night?!"

The two sneaked out and strolled around last night. After less than two hours of sleep, they hurriedly crawled out, embarrassed. Li Jinglong asked everyone to carry their things back to the room, ordered them to assemble as soon as possible, and set about cleaning and repairing the Exorcist Division.

Li Jinglong works all day long. The four guys are always lazy. They are idle in the patio, singing and playing the piano, doing nothing. The painters and painters have to stop and wait for Li Jinglong to clean up the room. Finally, three days later, Li Jinglong's work was finished, and the entire Exorcism Department was completely new.

In the front hall, there is a gilded statue of King Fudo Ming, the snow walls are surrounded by Vermilion Pillar, the doors and windows are repainted, the moss is in the courtyard, the main hall is built with a low couch, and the tea set is inverted on the low table. There was a rustling rustle everywhere in the yard with bamboos, a cobblestone path was paved in the front hall of the backyard, and a few red fish in the pond. A wooden sign was erected on the side with the three characters "Zhao Zilong" written on it, which is the residence of the carp demon.

The wind chimes swayed gently under the corridor, making a crisp sound. In the courtyard, a tall phoenix tree of more than seventy years is bathed in sunlight, and glazed tiles are flowing. In the East Wing is Li Jinglong's bedroom, plus a study room, weapons room, pharmacy and other places. There are more than ten shelves of books stacked in the study, and the case records of Di Renjie when he was still there.

Hongjun ran around under the porch barefoot, the floor was wiped clean. Everyone’s room was replaced with a floor-to-ceiling horizontal sliding wooden door to facilitate lighting. Each room was also set up on its own-in Morigen's room, there was a tiger skin in front of the low case, and a big bow bought from the West Market was hung. Ah Tai's room is covered with exotic blankets, all of which are white jade and colored glaze, extremely luxurious. Inside Qiu Yongsi's room, there is a Picture of Traveling in Spring, tea dishes, vases and other things are Qianfeng green color, famous Yue kiln porcelain.

Only a couch in Hongjun's room against the wall was left empty. Li Jinglong picked up three calligraphy and paintings and threw them to Hongjun, asking him to hang up by himself.

One Zhang Xu’s cursive script, one Zhang Sengyou’s "Hundred Birds", one Li Sixun’s "Jinbi Landscape". Hongjun didn't know the goods, and he didn't even know who owned the seal, so he hung it up casually. After looking at the "Picture of A Hundred Birds", he remembered the days of Yaojin Palace, and he couldn't help feeling kind.

The Exorcist Division has been completely refurbished. It is not an exaggeration to say that this place is the most elegant in Chang'an City. The residence site in this lane was originally the Yuwenkai’s former courtyard purchased by Di Renjie’s disciple Luo Jintong after Great Tang moved to Chang’an from Luo Yang, the city of God. The lighting and water collection were excellent, but now it has been renovated in the hands of Li Jinglong. It suddenly became a new home for everyone.

"Okay." Li Jinglong wiped his sweat and opened a tea group in the main hall.

Everyone looked at him with different gazes. At first, Morigen, Ah Tai and Qiu Yongsi did not accept him. I didn't expect Li Jinglong to be too thunderous, no matter what you do, just be your own. Finally, he cleaned up the room personally.

"I'll come." Qiu Yongsi took it, and Li Jinglong let him. The copper kettle was boiling water, and the sky was wide in autumn. Several people sat in the main hall and started drinking tea.

"I was thinking about it before." Li Jinglong still had that indifferent face, and said in a deep voice, "The Exorcist Division has recovered, you can take the opportunity of repairing the house in the Division to work together to get to know each other and get to know each other well. ..."

Hongjun turned his head and looked left and looked right, seeing Morigen, Qiu Yongsi and Ah Tai all have a little unnatural expression.

Hongjun: "?"

"...But it seems that everyone is a dragon and a phoenix, and they have become irreversible acquaintances." Li Jinglong said lightly, "A mortal in Jinglong district, it seems that you will have to drag you back in the future, I'm really sorry."

When Li Jinglong said so, everyone was very embarrassed.

Except for Hongjun, the remaining three people look down on him, a common man, and Li Jinglong also knows that his subordinates look down on his boss, but he is looked down upon everywhere and he has long been used to it.

"Now, hand in the letter in hand." Li Jinglong said, "I registered today, and I can give Xiang Yang an explanation tomorrow."

"Changshi, is it the letter you sent us?" Morigen said.

Li Jinglong shook his head and said, "No, I also want to ask, who sent you this letter?"

That's weird. Li Jinglong didn't need to lie to them. Everyone talked about it. Someone must have chosen to summon the selected four people to Chang'an at this moment in order to restore the Great Tang Exorcist Division.

But if you say that, Li Jinglong will come by chance, how can you explain it? Can only be said to be a fateful coincidence?

Hongjun took the lead in handing the letter to Li Jinglong.

"Kong Hongjun." Li Jinglong said, "Where do you live and who are your parents?"

The carp demon came in from outside the hall, and Hongjun told Li Jinglong according to what he had taught him earlier that his adoptive father was a cultivator on the Taihang Mountains, and he wanted to have some experience when he came to Chang'an. As for Zhao Zilong, he accidentally ran into it many years ago, and the adopted carp definitely did not exist as a traitor sent by the Yaozu.

Li Jinglong didn't ask too much, just listening, Hongjun always felt that his lies had many loopholes that were hard to justify, but Li Jinglong believed him without reservation.

Then there was Morigen, who was born in Shiwei, and also told Li Jinglong that he came for experience. Hongjun seemed to have hidden a lot of things when he heard that Mo Rigen, but Li Jinglong did not ask, and only registered Mo Rigen's name with a pen.

Ah Tai is the nobleman of Tochar, who came to learn the Great Tang culture. Qiu Yongsi, who lives in Hangzhou, simply explained that he was a scholar from his family and was ordered by his grandfather to exercise his courage at the Exorcist Division.

What will be explained later, one is simpler than the other, and it is passed lightly in a few words. After Li Jinglong registered, Qiu Yongsi finished making tea and distributed it to everyone, including the carp monster, holding a bowl in their hands.

"Dry your feet before you come in. Don't step on the ground." Li Jinglong ordered to the carp demon.

"It seems that there will be no newcomers to report." Li Jinglong said.

Everyone looked at Li Jinglong quietly, guessing what he was going to say. Li Jinglong took a sip of tea, without looking at the four people in front of him, and muttered: "I don't know who called you to come, but I believe that although Duke Di died, he still cares about my Great Tang. I can be with you today. Here, it is fate in the dark."

Speaking, Li Jinglong raised his head and looked behind the four people, the mural of Di Renjie on the east wall of the main hall, with complex expressions in their eyes, the four of them turned their heads and looked at the statue of Di Renjie.

"You mean, Duke Di concealed four letters and sent them out so many years after he died?" Morigen said, "and summon us to restore the Great Tang Exorcist?"

"How is this possible!" Everyone looked at Li Jinglong in front of him with an expression of "You treat me stupid".

"This is... too unreasonable." Hongjun said blankly.

"The most unreasonable thing is the fish with long hands, long feet and hairy legs." Li Jinglong turned his head and glanced at the carp demon without changing his face.

Carp demon: "..."

"Yes." Hongjun accepted the facts quickly and nodded and said, "In comparison, the post-mortem mailing matter can barely be understood."

Everyone raised their foreheads and looked at each other. Since Li Jinglong said so, everyone will not go to the bottom. You are the boss and you are happy.

"Ming Japanese officials will go and order waist cards and official uniforms for you." Li Jinglong said lightly, "I ask you to pay and stay with you. There is still one day to consider. But once the name is reported, it will be the court order officer. No matter Hu Han, treat him equally."

Hongjun had a mission in the first place, thinking about when to find the Chen family and his own flying knife, he nodded when he heard that, and suddenly saw Li Jinglong staring at him, as if waiting for him to express his opinion, and raised his eyebrows.

"I'll stay." Hongjun nodded with some serious thoughts.

Morigen replied: "Stay."

Ah Tai: "Stay."

Qiu Yongsi said: "Stay, but in the Exorcist Department, what do you want to do? Long history, you must send us some work."

"There will be work." Li Jinglong said, "Yang Xiang said, as long as the Sixth Army and Dali Temple can't handle the case, the process of handling the case'maybe' involving monsters and ghosts will be transferred to the Exorcist Department. Before there is a case, you can walk around in Chang'an City, but since that's what you said, you will not be disappointed, and you will start working in the afternoon." He finished drinking tea and got up.

Hongjun immediately said: "Chang Shi, everyone... can you do me a favor?"

"No." Li Jinglong replied.

Everyone: "..."

"I know you want to find the monster of that night." Li Jinglong said, "but now I don't know what you are capable of, and I have never worked together. I have rushed out now without cooperation. The trouble will only get worse. I will leave it for a while. solve."

Hongjun was upset, but knew what Li Jinglong had said was reasonable, so he nodded.

Li Jinglong got up and left the table. Everyone was disbanded. Today's affairs are over. When he walked out of the hall and entered the East Chamber, he suddenly felt relieved, leaning against the pillar and gasping for breath. Obviously, he was in fear. Thinking of these exorcists with magical powers, they were still taken care of by themselves, and couldn't help but clenched their fists again, with a rare smile on their lips.

As soon as he raised his head, he suddenly saw Hongjun standing in front of him, looking at him suspiciously.

"Chang Shi, what were you doing just now?" Hongjun asked tentatively.

Li Jinglong coughed immediately and said solemnly, "What?"

"Can you do me a favor?" Hongjun looked at Li Jinglong and said, "I want to find..."

"I said, no!" Li Jinglong said displeased.

"Don't look for monsters." Hongjun said immediately, "You are familiar with Chang'an. Just tell me where Chen Ziang's house lives and I will go by myself."

The exorcist colleagues were not familiar with Chang'an City. It was useless to ask where Chen Ziang lived. He went from house to house. There were 600,000 households in Chang'an. It was impossible to find him. Now Li Jinglong is here and he is simply his savior.

"I ask you a question." Li Jinglong looked at Hongjun and said suddenly, "You are a cultivator. Are there any spells that can make people forget something?"

"Spells?" Hongjun was suddenly asked that. Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, thinking about it, and replied, "There is no magic, but there is a kind of flower..."

In the past, Hongjun liked to sow wild on the Taihang Mountains. In the apse of Yaojin Palace, there were many exotic flowers and plants. He vaguely remembered that he had transplanted a plant from the Western Regions.
