At noon, Hongjun arrived at the restaurant where he had an appointment with the other three. It was a big restaurant called "Fish Leaping Dragon Gate". Hongjun's mood has not yet recovered, and he said, "Today... something big happened!"

Qiu Yongsi, Morigen, and Ah Tai also just sat down. They all looked inexplicable and hurriedly said, "Come on, hurry up and say, the long history has not arrived yet?"

"He went back with the cat." Hongjun said, "Let's eat first, and he will explain in detail later when he comes."

"He really found it?" Morigen asked in surprise.

The three looked at each other and hurriedly asked. Hongjun had to confess that Li Jinglong first returned to the Exorcist Department to settle the cat, and because of the discovery of the body, he went to Dali Temple to ask if anyone was missing. He brought a case in the middle of a case, and the connection was significant. The situation must first be asked.

"I'll starve to death after eating."

waiter reported the name of the dish, but everyone didn't know what it was. Ah Tai had never experienced Chang'an cuisine all the way back. Morigen was born in the grassland, and he had never eaten the Great Tang high-end banquet, and Hongjun had never eaten it.

Qiu Yongsi said modestly: "You just order, and I will eat with you."

Everyone was confused when they heard the name of the dish. Finally, the carp demon was impatient and ordered the dish. He opened his mouth behind Hongjun's back and said: "Six cups of black pheasant soup, patrol and fry a dish, green onion vinegar chicken, frosted orange Okra combined with five silk cabbage rolls, six bowls of Yuhuang Wangmu rice as a staple food, a plate of sweet snow, served after a meal, Lishan burned spring for a catty. Do not use carp for fish dishes."

"Who?!" Xiao Er's face turned pale for a moment, "Who is talking?!"

"Ventral language!" Hongjun said immediately.

"Four people eat six?" waiter couldn't help but glanced at the empty place next to Ah Tai, with a horrified expression on his face.

"One of them hasn't come yet." Hongjun said, "You don't have to come over after the food is served."

"There are many carp spines, who will eat it." Xiaoer muttered to himself.

"What are you talking about?!" The carp demon glared at Hongjun's back and was insulted.

waiter: "???"

"It's nothing, you go quickly." Hongjun quickly sent the little second away.

waiter had a lingering fear and went to serve the dishes, and soon a table of exquisite dishes was prepared. Hongjun knew that what he ate on the road a few days ago was not counted. The black pheasant soup is served in a porcelain bowl made of imitating bamboo. The patrol stir-fry is fried mutton with fish and mutton, and the chicken with green onion and vinegar is steamed. The white chicken is yellowish in white and has a tangy fragrance. The Royal Yellow Queen's Mother Rice is a half-boiled egg rice bowl, and the four people and one fish immediately begin to sweep.

"Zhao Zilong used to stay in Chang'an restaurant." Hongjun said while eating, "Fortunately, it listens a lot."

"Oh?" Morigen said with a smile, "Are you a chef? Can't tell."

"As ingredients." The carp demon replied.

Everyone: "..."

Hongjun added: "It was sold at the market first, and then bought by a food shop and kept in a water tank. Later, a kind monk bought it and released it to live, and it is today."

The carp demon was full, buried his head in the cup, took a few sips of wine, shook it, took a few steps on the table, and finally became drunk with a "bang".

"Come on." Ah Tai said, "Today I have a treat to toast to our friendship and the long history who is not present—"

The four of them raised their glasses. This was their first formal gathering since they entered the Exorcist Division. Hongjun was usually not present. The other three were often lazy, but they knew each other well. They immediately asked about Li Jinglong again. Hongjun answered some questions, but recently he rarely participated in the activities of Morigen and others. Now he is very curious about his partners.

"My dad asked me to come to Chang'an." Hongjun thought for a while. Before he went on the road, he was told not to talk about many things. Zhao Zilong was so drunk that he couldn't save himself. I am afraid that he would lose everything. He said, "Let me expel everything from Changan. The monster... well."

Ah Tai laughed and said, "Where are there monsters in Chang'an?"

Morigen also laughed and said, "But if there are no monsters, what shall we do?"

Hongjun said: "However, Chang Shi also said that there are demons in Chang'an, but they don't come out often."

Hongjun has never drunk alcohol. It was the first time drank it today. He only drank the wine as water. Morigen and Ah Tai thought that Hongjun had a good amount of alcohol, so he drank heavily. When he came up, his mind was confused, and he couldn't hold it, but he fell aside and fell asleep.

Not long after Hongjun was drunk, Li Jinglong came, and when he saw Hongjun falling backwards, he became very angry.

"This is working time, are you actually drinking here?" Li Jinglong said, "and got him drunk, this..."

Ah Tai hurriedly said: "Long history is here, sit down! I invite you today!"

Li Jinglong frowned and went to the table with a large table of leftovers. Li Jinglong didn't dislike it, so he started eating with cold dishes. The remaining three people hurriedly asked what happened. Li Jinglong said, everyone was silent. The tea, drink, and dessert all stopped and looked at Li Jinglong in unison.

"Found a dead person under the bed?" Morigen asked.

Li Jinglong said with a nose "um" and said, "I am finally interested? I have just walked to Dali Temple, and no one has reported missing cases recently."

"No." Ah Tai frowned. "What does it mean to hide the corpse?"

Li Jinglong replied faintly: "I don't know if it is something I am waiting for, and I am looking for you to discuss..."

"It must be a monster!" Morigen said immediately.

"The monster didn't run away." Qiu Yongsi smiled, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Why? Tell me?" Li Jinglong asked casually eating, frowning.

Ah Tai looked at Li Jinglong and said after a moment: "Let's talk about it with the two brothers."

"No, no, you say first..."

"You speak first, you speak first..."

The three began to push around again, and Li Jinglong shouted, "Enough!"

After a while, Morigen said: "If you hide the corpse on the bed, it will rot in a few days, and the smell will be noticeable. It would be unreasonable to bury a dead person in the bed after drying it. It's less time after the trouble."

"So Jin Yun hides the corpse because he wants to be a demon?" Li Jinglong frowned.

Everyone looked at Li Jinglong with weird faces, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, Li Jinglong inexplicably said: "Am I wrong?"

Qiu Yongsi said: "Uh... this, long history, I believe that person was turned into a corpse by weathering on the spot to have this result."

Li Jinglong understood in an instant, and murmured, "So that's it."

"I was sucked up all over by the monster." Morigen replied, "I don't know what to do for the time being, and I was stuffed into the bed indiscriminately. This is most likely."

Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, and Ah Tai looked at the other two and said, "Walked tonight? I always feel that Pingkang is wrong, and the fox's tail is revealed."

Qiu Yongsi immediately stopped Ah Tai with a look, and told him not to talk nonsense.

Only then did Li Jinglong know that Ah Tai and Qiu Yongsi were visiting the brothel on the eve of the night, and they actually went to check the monsters.

"There are demons in Pingkang?" Li Jinglong asked.

"It's so demonic." Qiu Yongsi laughed and said, "The most demonic places are Pingkangli, Daming Palace, and Prosperous Celebration Palace."

Li Jinglong was silent for a while.

Li Jinglong had been thinking for a long time, whether he wanted to inform the Shenwu Army and the Dragon Martial Army to surround the poetry column and search for the dead body, or did he catch the demon unconsciously? In view of his unlucky luck, if he catches the person who called Jinyun, no one will believe him at that time, but he will cause a lot of trouble for himself. Unexpectedly, these subordinates knew better than each other.

"Then tonight, I will just look at your skills." Li Jinglong said.

"Brother Hongjun went out and grabbed a little demon, no problem." Morigen smiled, "Everyone will help him."

There was a thunder in the afternoon, and it started to rain again in Chang'an. Li Jinglong walked quickly, and Morigen hurried back to the Exorcist Division with the drunk and unconscious Hongjun on his back. Ah Tai and Qiu Yongsi followed quickly. The Chang'an girl who was taking shelter from the rain found that the three of them were calling out in low voices to let the female companion look at them.

Li Jinglong is tall and handsome, Morigen is slender and handsome, Ah Tai is as handsome as a pearl, Qiu Yongsi is handsome, and Hongjun, who is carrying Morigen, has a face like a flawless white jade. Hongjun also carried a salted fish on his back...no, carp.

The girls hurriedly followed, chasing the three of them to watch. Morigen turned his head and Ah Tai said, "Oh, it's really distressing, why are there so many people chasing everywhere... everyone go."

In the afternoon, everyone was listening to the rain in the main hall. The cat in front of the corridor was tied to the pillar with a rope by Li Jinglong, and yelled "meows" a few times, pulling his head out, just trying to get out of the noose. There was a major event today, and Li Jinglong planned to send the cat back tomorrow.

The carp demon was motionless, lying in the yard in the rain.

Hongjun was lying on the case in the hall, and Li Jinglong turned over Di Renjie's case files back then. The remaining three people seemed to be tacitly aware, and each divided a little, and began to investigate the monsters in Kangli.

Regardless of what Di Renjie said, even if there were monsters, most of them were in trouble in the god Luo Yang. After the emperor moved to Chang'an, there are very few local records.

"What kind of demon can suck human blood and practice?" Li Jinglong asked.

"Many will be." Morigen lowered his head to check the file and said casually, "Fox, snake, flower, painting..."

Ah Tai said: "You can't speak too much, what if this corpse is just Jin Yun's lover?"

Everyone exploded, and Qiu Yongsi said, "It won't happen! Ah Tai, do you still have this hobby?!"

"I would rather be a demon." Ah Tai laughed.

Li Jinglong suddenly said, "Everyone, did you report to the Exorcist Department together?"

"Front and back feet." Ah Tai laughed.

"How do you feel that these people have known each other for a long time." Li Jinglong said.

Everyone stopped talking again. After a while, Li Jinglong seemed to be careless, but in fact he observed the reaction of the three and said, "I have to ask you brothers for more advice, please tonight."

The three nodded each, Li Jinglong looked at Hongjun again, Hongjun was still drunk, Morigen stretched out his hand and shook him and said, "Hongjun?"

Everyone was afraid that Hongjun was drunk until the evening, and when he was trying to wake him up, the carp monster outside woke up first, stood up drunkly, swayed a few times, and said, "I'm back? Huh..."

The carp demon swayed and walked down the corridor. When the cat saw the carp demon, he immediately became interested, pulled his head out of the rope sleeve, and rushed towards the carp demon. The carp demon was dumbfounded and watched. He was frightened while holding the lion cat after several breaths, and shouted, "Help! The cat is running!"

This scare was not trivial. Even Hongjun woke up. Everyone saw the hard-catching cat running away and hurriedly chased it out. Li Jinglong shouted angrily: "Come into the hall!"

Previously, Li Jinglong was afraid that the cat was strangled. He didn't dare to tie it too tightly. He escaped by it. The carp spirit rushed in and the cat chased in. Hongjun shouted, "Close the door!"

more people quickly closed the door. The carp demon was so scared to pee and went hide-and-seek. Hongjun made it stand. However, the fear of natural enemies has overcome Hongjun's order. The carp demon panicked and did not choose his way. The altar, a leap, exerted its extraordinary potential when it was a matter of life and death. With a "shoo", it flew onto the top of the cabinet like an arrow from the string.

Immediately after Ah Tai and Morigen pounced towards the middle, the lion cat was extremely agile, and chased the carp monster on the top of the cabinet twice.

Li Jinglong suddenly realized a serious problem, stepped on the wall, and was about to pounce to save—

-It's too late.

The carp demon yelled "God", then bounced off again and flew into Li Jinglong's arms. Then the lion cat turned around and swept down the box full of Lixun pollen.

As everyone watched, the Lixun pollen box drew an arc from the top of the cabinet and slammed it on Hongjun's head. With a soft sound, the lid of the box popped open and pollen scattered all over the sky.

Everyone: "..."

The doors and windows were closed tightly, and as soon as the pollen was scattered, the five people sneezed to the earth at the same time, and then started a series of sneezing.

"Ha snee--!"

"Hah!"

"Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah — Hah!"

"Hah!"

Ah Tai, Morigen, Qiu Yongsi, Hongjun, and Li Jinglong sneezed frantically, and the sound of sneezes one after another. The five people were surprised for a while, confused for a while, standing in the room, dizzy.

"What happened?" Hongjun said blankly, "Hah!"

Ah Tai: "Who am I? Hey!"

Morigen: "This...you...Where is this? Hey!"

Qiu Yongsi: "Hasie! Wait, this Xiongtai? Haze!"

Even the lion cat has been sneezing wildly. For a while, the carp demon's eyes showed expectant eyes, and then after a sneeze, his face was full of doubts. Everyone was strange for a while, ignorant for a while, and sneezing repeatedly.

"Aren't we going out... Hey!" Li Jinglong was another shock wave, and the carp demon jumped down and ran to open the door.

The carp demon's nose is only effective in water, and the nostrils are too small and often blocked, but it is not affected. At this time, seeing the cat not chasing, he hurriedly pushed open the door.

"Come out!" the carp demon shouted.

In this confusion and soberness, Hongjun felt something calling him, so he staggered out, and then shouted at the door together, and everyone came out one after another.

Hongjun looked at the carp demon, then at Li Jinglong and the others, trying to remember something, but his mind was full of chaos, the cat jumped out, not knowing where to go, the carp demon said: "Hongjun! Grab it!"

Hongjun hugged the cat subconsciously, and the carp demon picked up the small brush and dustpan, went in and cleaned up the pollen from the soul.

"What happened just now?" Li Jinglong asked.

The remaining four people looked at each other and they all looked stupid. Not long after, Ah Tai "dang" and remembered first, saying, "You are Li Changshi!"

"Ah!" said Li Jinglong, "yes, I am Li Jinglong, and here is the Exorcist."

"Right, right, right!" Everyone awoke like a dream, and nodded hurriedly. Hongjun hugged the cat and said blankly: "But why am I holding a cat?"

"Meow?" The lion cat looked around suspiciously.

"What are we...what are we doing?" Li Jinglong asked.

Everyone's heads were filled with question marks for a while, and Morigen was confused in the patio and said, "I vaguely remember that everyone came to the Exorcist Department to report."

"Have you checked in?" Qiu Yongsi said, "How do you feel that everyone knows each other, unlike the first time I met?"

Li Jinglong said: "Calm down, something must have happened just now..."

The carp demon collected the Lihun pollen all over the floor, packed it in a slap-sized bag, and said: "You have smelled the Lihun pollen."

"Yes, yes!" Everyone remembered again and nodded, now it seems that they can roughly connect the cause and effect.

After half an hour, everyone gradually remembered something, but the most important thing was that he completely forgot what he was doing before Wenlihun pollen, so Li Jinglong took his subordinates, each holding their chins, and staying in the main hall. Thinking hard inside.

The carp demon made a brief summary of the cat catching, but he didn't know the rest, so "can't remember what they forgot" became the first problem they had to face.

The cat was put in a cage and looked at the carp demon eagerly, but couldn't help it.

"What happened?" Li Jinglong frowned.

"Maybe just drinking tea?" Qiu Yongsi said.

"No." Li Jinglong said to himself, "What do you do with so many files on the table while drinking tea? There is something strange, we must have been working on some important case.

"First of all, when catching the cat, Hongjun and I hid under the couch..."

"After I drink the foot wash..."

Everyone began to rack their brains to think. Li Jinglong analyzed the fragmented memory, while Hongjun was talking to himself, still thinking about who he was and where he came from. Gradually, he remembered that he came from Yaojin Palace, many people from childhood to age. The details were remembered one by one. After a brief absence, he remembered Chongming, and even remembered the first time he met Chongming.

Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to speak, he suddenly fell into a strange memory, and Li Jinglong's voice seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.

Under the sun, the screaming light and shadow of the sycamore tree gave him a strong sense of unreality, as if everything was just a dream under the sun. In this dream, his consciousness is getting farther and farther away. A whirlpool brought him back to the evening of Yaojin Palace.

Countless scenes flew back one by one, suddenly frozen in a certain day.

"Hongjun said, you saw a dead person on your stay..."

"dead?"

Everyone was shocked in an instant, staring at the carp demon in a daze, and the carp demon dazzled and described what he knew about the room.

Hongjun's pupils kept shrinking violently. After smelling the pollen of Lixun, he suddenly remembered the night when he first arrived at Yaojin Palace. The first side he saw when he opened his eyes was the heavy light with tears sliding down from the corner of his eyes. .

The momentary memory went backwards again, back into the darkness, he stood in the ruins, looking around blankly.

"...I'm just this kid..."

The voice of a strange man rang in his ears.
