March 11th, early morning.

Li Chuan did not go to Lantai to perform the ritual, but came to the vicinity of Xishi in Chang'an County, west of the city.

Daqian Shengdu was built according to the pattern of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, with 108 squares dotted around it, neatly arranged in a grid area composed of crisscrossing streets from north to south.

The entire Holy Capital is bounded by Zhuque Street in the middle, and is divided into two jurisdictions, Chang'an County and Wannian County. The Imperial Wu'an Marquis Mansion where Li Fan is located is located in Xuanyangfang of Wannian County to the east, in the wealthy northeastern part of the Holy Capital. Areas where homes are concentrated.

There is an East Market nearby, which echoes the West Market here.

But compared to the south, this northwest area is also prosperous, because the West Market is the starting point of the Silk Road connecting the Western Regions. Business travelers from various countries and various specialties gather here. There are also orchids, and you can see the Western scenery. Even in the city Rich young men or wealthy ladies often come here to play and explore new things.

Li Chuan had been here many times before and was no stranger to the nearby market. He came to a teahouse there with ease.

"Good morning, sir. What would you like to eat?"

The waiter ran over diligently, nodded and bowed.

Li Chuan threw out a piece of silver and said, "Make room for me upstairs. I will wait for someone there."

The waiter touched the heavy piece of silver and was astonished. His waist almost bent at ninety degrees: "Please take a seat upstairs, please!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper also rushed over and greeted quickly: "Young Master, you are here early, there is no one upstairs yet!"

At the same time, he winked wildly at the waiter, and brought out all kinds of breakfast specialties of the small shop for free, filling a table full of them.

He recognized Li Fan's identity.

Li Fan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and after asking the boss not to disturb him, he sat alone at the table.

The street market below has begun to become lively.

There are vendors making all kinds of snacks to greet customers, and hawkers selling goods along the street. They deliver firewood, rice, oil and salt door to door. They sell all kinds of fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs, milk and fish. They even have noodle soup and mouthwash. Special shops are opened to sell them for people who don't want to work hard to start the stove in the morning.

Suddenly, a flock of pigeons flew over a nearby rooftop, fluttering their wings and flying high into the sky.

Li Fan squinted his eyes and followed them to look outside. Facing the morning light, he saw rows of houses, tinged with a golden sheen.

The Great Qian Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, the country has been prosperous and the people are safe, and many arrogant people have been born. Even in the eyes of a time traveler like Li Ao, it is quite a bit like a modern urban dweller.

Among ordinary citizens, there are many wealthy households who sleep until three o'clock in the morning and do not come out for activities. The active commodity economy and the emergence of capitalism provide them with ample material guarantees for their comfortable life. They have enjoyed the emperor's favor and enjoyed the mansion for generations, which is even more so. Many people can still rely on the kindness of their ancestors to make a living even if they have nothing to do.

Correspondingly, there are those foreigners who get up early and get busy, including traveling scholars, business travelers from other places, heroic swordsmen, prostitutes, and more ordinary people from surrounding rural towns.

They have a passionate and enterprising heart, either to make a living or to make achievements, and they wander in their own ways.

To have a good life is to live in peace, and it is not easy. Everyone must try their best to find their own way of progress, so that they can get their own place in this world's number one great sage.

In view of the atmosphere of urban life seen below, Li Huan ate breakfast while recalling his life in his previous life.

Once upon a time, he was just like the rest of the people below, running around all day long for trivial matters such as daily necessities.

Not long after, Xue An rushed over.

"Little Marquis!"

After not seeing each other for a while, Xue An was obviously a little haggard, because things were indeed not what Li Fan expected. He had been having a bad year recently, and various things happened one after another, which consumed a lot of energy.

Li Fan pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Have you had breakfast? Sit down and have something together."

Xue An didn't dare to sit with him. He waved his hands and said, "I've already eaten on the way."

"You can't even lie!" Li Fan scolded with a smile, feeling quite helpless. He pointed to another table and said, "Forget it, just ask the boss to bring some more food."

After a while, Gao Feng, Yu Liang, Fang Hong, and Fan Renyong arrived one after another.

These are Li Chuan's colleagues in the Lantai Institute, and they are official members who have received orders during this operation.

Xue An is essentially an enthusiastic resident who came to help voluntarily. There is no such person in the Demon Suppression Department's internal investigation.

"It's great. The institute finally agreed to let brother Guan Yun take the lead in forming a special team to participate in the hunt. I can't wait to slay the demons!"

As a passionate scholar, Gao Feng's mind is full of slaying demons and achieving great achievements.

In fact, he is the same as Fang Hong, the son of Fu Changbo, not even a stranger.

Li Fan laughed and said: "Brother Shangjin, if you really have to encounter an evil spirit, you should take it easy. You can't deal with the weirdness with your whole body of righteousness."

"Brother Guanyun, why did you say this?" Gao Feng frowned and said, "We scholars have the books of sages and the calligraphy of great scholars, so we will surely catch all the demons and demons at our fingertips!"

"Well, then it doesn't rely on exotic treasures?"

Yu Liang next to him couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard this.

"You scholars are just tough-talking. We are already in the age of weirdness and have strange treasures in your hands, but you still refuse to admit those things."

But he smiled, and he couldn't help but show some sincere envy on his face.

If there were no weird power in this world, he would practice martial arts since he was a child, work hard, and be confident that he could defeat everyone present.

But with Weirdness, he may be the weakest one.

Who said he was just a child of a warrior family or a concubine?

"It's a sacred object, and there's also a calligraphy treasure!"

Gao Feng corrected him seriously.

Fang Hong, the son of Uncle Fu Chang, was too lazy to listen to their arguments and asked Li Fan, "Guanyun, what should we do next?"

Li Chuan said: "Don't worry, let's go over the basic situation first."

When everyone heard the words, they all sat around and listened.

Li Fang said: "Now we can be convinced that the fox bride possessed the bride during the wedding ceremony and waited until they finished drinking and took off the hijab before revealing her true form and causing trouble.

One of the rules has been proven, that is, seeing its face will make it go crazy and lead to pursuit.

But before that, being in the room and only the groom seeing it, what does this really mean?"

"Meaning that its obsession is to murder her husband?" Fan Renyong, who had been silent before, guessed.

"That's not necessarily the case."

In an inexplicably confident tone, Li Ao spoke of a possibility that made everyone think deeply.

"Its obsession should be to find a real husband and have a drink with him!"

When Xue An heard this, he couldn't help but trembled.

He suddenly realized that he was the key figure in bringing out the Fox Bride.

But he didn't feel that this was taking advantage of him, instead he was a little touched.

Because this is an opportunity for the young Marquis to help him make great achievements and return to the Marquis Mansion.
