Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

After the Red Lotus Sect was defeated, the magistrate of Chang'an County retired honorably. Magistrate Wang of Wugong County received a commendation for solving the murder case of Liang Qi and Miss Dong. He was transferred to Chang'an County as the county magistrate, although it was a flat transfer. , but Chang'an County is much better than the small Wugong County on the edge of the capital, and the monthly salary has also increased a lot.

Magistrate Wang felt that Zheng Xiaodong and I were his lucky generals, so he mentioned us to his superiors and asked us to take office with him. Zheng Xiaodong and I are also happy to go. After all, we have never seen the colorful world of Chang'an, and once we go to Chang'an, we can get rid of the shackles of my parents, and now we can be free.

My mother felt uneasy about me going to Shang'an alone to take office, so she asked Hui'er and Liu Qingqing to accompany me so that they could take care of my food and daily life. It's a great relationship, and it's even more beautiful to have two beauties accompanying you. When Zheng Xiaodong heard that Hui'er was going with us, he was so happy that his fat face could no longer see his eyes, and he kept urging us to set off as soon as possible.

When I came to take office in Chang'an County, it was very different from Wugong County in the countryside. It had many jurisdictions and many errands. These people were also very powerful and looked down upon those who came from our small county.

Zheng Xiaodong and I were new here, and we didn't want to cause trouble, so in the first few days we just went to the Yamen to order mao, and wandered around in the name of getting familiar with the business. It was a very pleasant time.

Magistrate Wang allotted us a residence. It was not very big, but it was enough to live in. It had a small courtyard. Zheng Xiaodong and I shared a room, Hui'er and Liu Qingqing shared a room, and Xiao Tianbao also followed us. Another small room was built in the yard.

At that time, there was a curfew in Chang'an City, so we had no place to go at night. We wanted to go to Pingkangfang to listen to music, but the money in our waists did not allow it, and Hui'er and Liu Qingqing were also careful, so we had to think of something at home. .

My favorite thing from modern times is playing mahjong, but mahjong had not been invented in the Tang Dynasty. Mahjong was an entertainment device used by Zheng He during his voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty. I thought I could let them try it out first. So I cut pieces of bamboo from the back of the house to replace mahjong and gave them the playing method. Unexpectedly, they quickly got started and showed enthusiastic enthusiasm for this small game that can win money.

I found that Fatty and Liu Qingqing had a natural talent for mahjong, but it was Fatty who kept losing money, Liu Qingqing kept neither losing nor winning, and I basically lost everything. Why, as long as Hui'er winked at him and called "Brother Zheng", this damn fat guy had no respect for casino ethics at all, and fed him so much that Liu Qingqing was so angry that he pushed the cards away. He said coldly to Fatty Zheng: "There is no such thing. If you don't know, let's fight. Don't think we are all blind." They both blushed. Xiao Tianbao watched from the side and followed me. happy.

That night, Huier made us a very delicious braised Yellow River carp, a braised pork dish, a vegetable stir-fried three delicacies dish, and a big bowl of mountain mushroom soup. The taste was simply overwhelming. The fat man ate the most, and kept fawning over Hui'er, saying, "Hui'er, your cooking skills are getting better and better, and you are getting better and better as you grow older."

This made Hui'er's face turn redder. After dinner, we turned on the lights in the yard and were ready to chat and joke around to eat, but the fat man suggested playing mahjong again. This was great, and we played until almost midnight. At this time, I had a sudden idea and said to them: "Have you ever played Die Xian? It's so exciting!"

As soon as they heard the name, they were immediately interested. Since they had never played it before, they were very curious. Especially Zheng Xiaodong, who immediately came over and said, "What is Die Xian? How to play it, please tell me quickly."

I pretended to be mysterious and said: "These dish gods, as the name suggests, are the gods on the dish. They are invisible and shadowless, but they can predict the future and know the past." Hearing this, I found that their eyes were shining, and it was the right time. At the age when curiosity is at its peak, who doesn’t like exciting and fun things?

Huier also got excited and said to me with a smile: "Is this really so amazing? I just want to know where my sister is now, and what kind of husband I can marry in the future." After finishing speaking, She blushed and laughed. Her smile was contagious, making people around her feel warm and happy.

Fatty Zheng also laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, of course it's me, the handsome and charming Brother Zheng!" Hui'er also laughed too, not very angry, and said: "How handsome are you? Why didn’t I see it?”

Liu Qingqing also smiled, the smile was very shallow and fleeting. I also laughed and said, "Are you still having fun?"

Play, play, of course play.

I said: "To play the dish fairy, you must first find a clean small dish. Hui'er, go to the kitchen and find one. Also, we must find a place with a strong yin energy, so that the dish fairy will be attracted."

Liu Qingqing said coldly: "Is the yin energy strong? I'm afraid, I won't play anymore, and I advise you not to play either!" But everyone's enthusiasm was high, especially Zheng Xiaodong, who was even more enthusiastic and said: "I said Miss Liu "What's so scary about this? We are two young men who are the most energetic. If nothing happens, we can just play. What's the danger?"

I was afraid that Liu Qingqing wouldn't play, so I changed my mind and said, "We are just playing, there is no need to take it seriously, just stay in this yard, there is no need to go to mass graves, haunted houses or other places. Don't be afraid, this is fun." Yes, we can ask this Dixian, maybe he can really help Hui'er find her sister."

By this time, Hui'er had brought a small white porcelain plate from the kitchen, which we usually use to eat dumplings dipped in vinegar. It was just the right size.

At this time, it was already midnight, which was the best time to play Die Xian. So I asked Xiao Tianbao to find a large piece of paper in the study, put the plate upside down on the paper, draw a circle according to the size of the plate with a pen, and write "yes", "no" and "1-9" respectively. number. I told them that although Xiaodiexian is a god, she is separated from us by the yin and yang, so she can only communicate through objects and cannot speak.

And when playing, there can’t be too many people, and there must be an odd number. There are exactly five of us. The arrow on the plate must be drawn with the blood of a virgin. At this time, without saying anything, Huier pricked her finger with a needle and drew a blood-red arrow on the plate.

Ready, let's start playing. The first step is to invite the immortal. I put the plate upside down on the paper and asked everyone to put their index finger on the back of the plate and then announce their name.

I remember reading a book that said you should recite incantations when you invite immortals. I didn’t remember clearly, so I just recited it from memory: Please come down from the mountain to invite immortals. Mortals at the bottom of the mountain ask for immortals if they have something to do.

At this time, we suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in our yard. It was already June, but we obviously felt much colder than before.

Something strange happened. The plate under our fingers suddenly vibrated slightly. We all felt it was very magical and even more exciting. I asked them all to close their eyes and let me ask the question. I asked him: "Are you a Die Xian?"

At this time the saucer started to rotate. When we opened our eyes, we found that the red arrow on the saucer pointed to the "yes" written on the paper!

We couldn't help but become nervous. It seemed that we had really invited Xiao Dixian. I then asked: "Are you a man?" The plate turned again, this time no.

I asked again: "How old are you now?" At this time, the arrow on the disc turned to the number one, and then to nine. It seemed that the disc fairy was 19 years old, and she was a woman.

Everyone now feels that there is no danger, and it is quite fun. Just when I was about to ask Sister Hui'er whether she was dead or alive, I glanced at Zheng Xiaodong, and I found that the fat man's eyes suddenly changed. One of his eyeballs actually changed. It turned golden!
