The start is Koga Ninja

Chapter 135 Prosperity is over
Chang'an, Chang'an is here!
It was already afternoon, and after driving in the middle of the night, Liu Fang and Qin Liang's carriage finally arrived at the destination.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the two, he came to the West Market, exchanged a lot of money at the pawn shop with the lighter in his hand, and got himself a suit.

This time, Liu Fang was wearing a blue brocade hip-length gown, Liuhe boots, and his anti-riot armor, which complemented each other.

Qin Liang and Qin Liang were still in a hurry to go home, and after a hasty farewell, they parted ways.

Liu Fang, who was alone in Chang'an, looked at Chang'an in front of him, and couldn't help muttering: "Lady, Kunlun slave, Hu Xuanwu..."

On the way here, he heard from the old coachman that since Anlu Mountain invaded Chang'an, because he was greedy for the prosperity of Chang'an, he had not done any damage to Chang'an, so the ancient city was well preserved.

But after his tossing like this, Datang's vitality was seriously injured and began to decline, and the prosperity of Chang'an was no longer as good as before.

But even so, Liu Fang can still see the residual smell of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty from the shadows of the bricks and tiles of the people who came and went.

He can smell, even if the prosperous age is not there, he can still imagine how magnificent the so-called prosperous Chang'an is, like a plain silk thrown into a dyeing vat, and the noisy dye overflows the criss-cross streets and layers of warp and weft threads.

The cloth surface was slowly wetted and soaked, and the colored halos gradually spread, and soon every silk thread was stained with that joyful atmosphere, and the whole plain silk silk quickly changed color, revealing a skyrocketing joy.

"I came at the wrong time... I really want to see with my own eyes what the glorious Tang Dynasty was like!"

Liu Fang murmured, but his eyes were full of regrets. After all, everyone in the country had a prosperous Tang Dynasty in their hearts, and Chang'an City was indispensable under the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

It was an unparalleled international metropolis in ancient times, and it was the brightest pearl in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. People from all over the world gathered and settled here, confident, tolerant, and open!
Calm, grand and gorgeous!
Looking at the blond and blue-eyed Hu businessman in the West Market, he has a mixed style in the busy city.

Silently, he drew a picture scroll of the Great Tang Dynasty, which made Liu Fang unable to stop imagining the scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Liu Fang stopped and walked, and the layout of Chang'an City was rigorous, symmetrical, and neatly arranged. There were three gates on each side of the outer city, and the six streets running through the twelve gates were the main traffic roads in the city.

Eleven north-south avenues and fourteen east-west avenues in the city divide the residential area into a neat [-] squares.

Seeing those passers-by, each entering the county with their waists folded, their hands crossed, and the etiquette sung in their mouths, Liu Fang felt that he was ignorant, and thought that all dynasties have clasped fists and bowed.

After a while, I walked to a place where there were many shops, but there were not many pedestrians, but there was a scent wafting from it.

Liu Fang sniffed lightly at the tip of his nose. The smell made his index finger twitch, his stomach growled, and he saw a restaurant facing the street, which was steaming inside.

Liu Fang came to the front with big strides, and the restaurant businessman, seeing Liu Fang coming, hurriedly asked: "Guest, do you want mutton in a bowl?"

Liu Fang nodded, and then found a table to sit down. Not long after, a bowl of steaming mutton was placed in front of Liu Fang.

At first glance, the meat in the big bowl was rotten and the soup was clear. He was also served with three pieces of crescent moon cakes and a small plate of secret side dishes.

Liu Fang saw that the mutton piled on the bottom of the bowl was fat and thin, and it was very big.

So imitating others, he broke the crescent moon cakes, threw them into the bowl piece by piece, and picked up the chopsticks to eat big pieces.

In the cold and windy winter, the hot mutton soup immediately opened Liu Fang's pores.

After blowing the oil blossoms and coriander, Liu Fang gulped down the hot broth with constant gurgles.

After eating the meat and soup, I felt a warm current spread from the esophagus to the stomach, and then spread along the limbs. Since coming to this land, Liu Fang has always been cold to death. Now his frozen fingers Gradually there is a temperature.

After sucking and sucking, Liu Fang picked up the big bowl and drank until there was not a drop left. Finally, he was full, his body was warm, and the cold was completely dispelled.

"Comfortable……"

With a long sigh of relief, Liu Fang stood up, paid and left.

Looking at Chang'an in Nuoda, Liu Fang was in trouble for a moment. He clearly remembered that the handwriting left on the ice asked him to find the hidden monsters in the city. How to find them in this vast crowd.

After wandering aimlessly for a while, Liu Fangfang planned to find a place to settle down first.

approaching dusk...

The inn at the entrance of the street is still open. In the counting room, the shopkeeper is leaning on his body, wearing a cotton robe, with his hands folded in his sleeves, drowsy, with an iron stove at his feet.

Suddenly the shopkeeper was excited and woke up. Seeing the deserted inn, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He muttered: "That day An Lushan was killed. When he fell into Chang'an, my inn was so busy, and now there was no one left."

God is not open, there are no people coming these few days, my inn has nothing to do with it, it can only be closed down! "

Turning around, I saw that my guy was dozing off against the wall. This guy was full of anger, so he immediately picked up a piece of charcoal beside him and threw it at the guy.

Clap!
The guy's head hurts, he woke up with a start, and immediately looked around, the shopkeeper frowned and shouted: "What are you looking at, I'm giving you wages to make you sleep in my place?
I don't know how to clean up, the tables and chairs are all dirty! "

Hearing this, the waiter pulled off the rag on his shoulder, curled his lips, and came to the tables and chairs in the living room to start wiping. While wiping, he complained in a low voice: "I have wiped the table eight hundred times all day long, and I don't know who to wipe it with." look!"

Just at this time, the heavy curtain made of felt cloth on the door was pulled open, and the cold wind that originally blocked the outside rushed into the house, causing the two people in the store to shiver and turn their heads to look at the person who came.

Looking at this time again, a person walked in from the door. This person was wearing a blue hipless robe, but there was also armor-like armor tied outside the clothes, which was indescribably weird.

The shopkeeper didn't think too much about it, after all the years of war, and the peaceful peace just now, the streets and alleys are mostly people with knives and swords, and it's not uncommon for some people to wear armor or something just in case.

At this time, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he immediately winked at the guy cleaning the table. After several days in a row, finally a business came to his door.

Seeing someone coming, he patted the wind and dust on his body, and muttered: "Huo, this little wind makes people's calves cramp!"

The clerk rushed to close the door, drew the curtain, and immediately greeted Liu Fang warmly: "Please, guest officer, you want to stay in the hotel!"

The shopkeeper saluted with crossed hands in the shopkeeper's room, a pair of shrewd eyes rolled around, and hurriedly ordered: "Be objective, you sit first."

Hearing this, Liu Fang was not polite, looked around, and then sat by the tables and chairs in the hall. Since the Tang Dynasty, due to the proliferation of barbarian merchants, some customs have changed accordingly. The original habit of kneeling and sitting has also been replaced by chairs.

This is in line with Liu Fang's appetite. After all, as a modern person, if he wants to make him kneel from time to time like the Han Dynasty, it would be quite uncomfortable!
Liu Fang explained his intentions, and the shopkeeper showed him a warm hospitality, and asked the clerk to show him the house.

Not long after Liu Fang was settled, the clerk came downstairs, and the shopkeeper asked, "Is everything arranged?"

"It's been arranged, don't worry!" the clerk immediately said with a smile.

call……

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew in, and the shopkeeper hiding in the account room shrank his neck, but saw that the felt curtain was not drawn properly, and the store door was also open.

He immediately frowned and urged: "Quick, quick, quick, close the curtain of the store!"

The buddy wondered inwardly, he had clearly fixed the door and curtain, how could it be like this now.

He walked over and took a look, and immediately cursed: "Little beast, who let you in? Go, go!"

I saw a furry head sticking out from the door curtain, looking into the store.

Seeing that the buddy was about to kick it with his foot, he ran away immediately and disappeared without a trace.

The account manager was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"I thought it was a good door, why did it open by itself? It turned out to be a black wild dog, running into our shop!"

"Alas... the world is difficult, and I don't know why this winter is so cold, even animals can't stand the cold."

At this time, Liu Fang went downstairs to the hall and asked the two of them: "Shopkeeper, do you have food and wine here, I'm going to be hungry, give me something to eat."

The shopkeeper hurriedly called the waiters to go to the back hall to prepare food, Liu Fang sat on the chair by himself, doing nothing, thinking of the purpose of his trip, thinking of the welcome and delivery of the inn, he must know a lot.

So he casually asked: "Shopkeeper, has anything unusual happened in Chang'an recently?"

"No, since the saint left in April, Chang'an has become more and more deserted.

It's just a group of Manichaean lunatics who have revived again! "

Liu Fang was puzzled when he heard the words: "Manichaeism? What sect is this?"

"There used to be, but the strictness of the imperial court soon disappeared. Anyway, I haven't had much contact with it, but in this Chang'an Pingkangfang, recently there have been some people who claim to be Manichaeans, and they are going around to confuse people."

Hearing this, Liu Fang immediately asked: "Then the court will ignore it?"

"Alas... no matter what, the saint is gone and the new emperor has too much to take care of himself.

Anlu Mountain has been in trouble for so long, and Datang's vitality has been seriously injured, and the mess in front of him has not yet been figured out.

This Manichaeism, when the saint was alive, was stricter than anyone else at that time, and it will be revived again, let's talk about it when the court is free!

But I've heard that it seems that the Manichaeists are going to hold a sacrifice tomorrow, and they have to sacrifice living people. It's very evil! "

"This is such a careless matter of human life, the Chang'an yamen sent people to not ask?"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper heard Liu Fang's strange accent, and he didn't seem to be able to speak official dialect. He knew that he hadn't lived in Chang'an for a long time, but must have come from another place.

So he said: "I think the guest officials don't know Chang'an very well, and the one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an are obviously the court's final say.

In fact, behind the scenes, there are also major masters.

These shop owners are in charge of various industries, and their power is intertwined. It is said that the shop owner of Pingkang Fang is named Yu Wushuang. Through the girls of Pingkang Fang, this person has mastered many secrets of important officials in the court.

Secretly, even the bad people in Chang'an have to listen to him. If the Manichaeism dares to operate in his territory, it may have something to do with him! "

Hearing this, Liu Fang made a note in his heart, saying that he would go to Pingkangfang tomorrow to see if he could find some clues, complete the task and leave here as soon as possible, and at the same time, he had to beware of those who entered the God Demon Field like him. Man of God!
In another place, a black figure was swimming in the streets with all its limbs. It was a black fox. At this time, it was sticking out its tongue and running at a high speed in the night.

Not long after, the fox turned around and came to a pavilion, the pavilion was dimly lit, exuding a crimson atmosphere, and the inside was even more lively, full of laughter of men and women.

The fox quickly came to the attic, jumped in when no one was paying attention, and quietly climbed to the top of the attic.

This place is not open to the outside world, only your own people can step in, and the inside is covered with a carpet made of velvet.

The so-called Pixiang Hall is more than ten feet wide, and the red thread is woven into the Kedian shop.

The colorful silk and velvet are fragrant, the threads are soft and the flowers are innumerable, which is what this attic is about.

I saw a beautiful woman sitting and lying down in the hazy room in the building.

The geisha lady next to her has lead powder and rouge on her face, flowers on her forehead, black eyebrows, two dimples on both sides of her mouth, slanting red on her cheeks, and lip balm on her lips.

Wearing a green long skirt with a high waist, a long belt around the waist, and a long scarf over the shoulders, they all sat around the woman, kneading and massaging.

The woman was dressed in red, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful eyes were slightly squinted, as if enjoying herself to the extreme. Under the impact of the red and green colors, this woman was so amazing that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

I saw this woman pick up the wine cup from time to time and drink it all in one gulp. She was unrestrained and unrestrained when she drank heavily, and smiled sweetly when she was looking forward.

But at this time, a maid whispered in her ear, the beauty paused when she heard the words, looked at the figure who came to the attic, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, and said slowly: "Xiao Hei is here, how about asking for your son's seal?" ?”

What was unexpected was that the voice of this stunning beauty had a masculine tone.

A black fox came to this man's feet, rubbed him intimately, then let out a whimper and started sobbing.

The light and shadow of the candle flame flickered, and the shadow of the fox on the wall continued to squirm, gradually taking the shape of a human being, and a lady immediately put on a robe for him.

The black fox, now in human form, sobbed and whimpered: "The son of my family has died in Huangquan, and I ask the Lord to make the decision!"

At this moment, the black fox is ugly and hideous compared to other people in the house, but after hearing what she said, the woman in red sighed: "This is a risky move, and whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will. What's the matter?"

"Last night, I was squatting at the deserted temple twenty miles outside the city, and saw three people driving by. I planned to scare them into entrusting my son, but I didn't intend to kill anyone.

And I promised a favor. If my son can be transformed into a human, I will definitely pay him a lot of money, but the three of them are not willing.

I didn't embarrass a few people, I wanted to give up, but I saw one of them suddenly rushed out. This person obviously had bad intentions, and he talked nonsense and ruined my son's life.

And take a knife to cut me..."

As he spoke, he raised his arms, and there were stab wounds with deep visible bones on his arms. Fortunately, he did not know what method was used and did not bleed.

Hearing this, the beauty in red frowned, and asked, "What kind of magic weapon did he use to hurt you to such a degree?"

"I didn't use a weapon, but a long knife in the man's hand, but his sword is powerful!"

"Oh? That's interesting..." The beauty in red asked, "Do you know where that person is now?"

The fox demon nodded when he heard the words, and immediately followed Liu Fang all the way, and informed him of the footsteps he learned.

Hearing this, the beauty lazily waved his slender hand: "Okay, I see, let's go back to the back kitchen and cook.

Remember that your cultivation level is not enough, and you have not taken off the animal appearance, so you must cover your face, so as not to scare the guests! "
