Chapter 540: Arriving in Luoyang
"Wild dog, you don't actually have to accompany me, Xiuxiu also needs your care there!" Li Zhang looked at the wild dog on the opposite side at this time, and said earnestly, although the carriage under his feet was fast, it was not bumpy, after all, the official road from Tokyo to Luoyang was still very flat, and there were often special people to trim it.
"Xiuxiu is just pregnant, it's still early to give birth, and I have my aunt to take care of it, I can't help much, but big brother, you go to Luoyang this time, if you meet a hat demon, maybe there will be danger!" The wild dog said as he wiped the dog leg knife in his hand.
Luoyang reappeared the hat demon, and it was Qian Weiyan who personally reported to Zhao Zhen, plus the huge impact caused by the hat demon before, so Zhao Zhen also attached great importance to it, and immediately decided to send someone to Luoyang to find out the situation, Li Zhang always felt that this hat demon was like the UFO in the legend of later generations, plus he was fine, and Luoyang was not far away, so he immediately took the initiative to take this task.
Zhao Zhen didn't expect Li Zhang to be so interested in the hat demon, but it would be great if he was willing to go, after all, Li Zhang is not only the person he trusts the most, but also his ability is not comparable to ordinary people, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng also agreed, originally Li Zhang wanted to take more people to Luoyang, so he didn't take the wild dog, because Xiuxiu was pregnant, but he didn't expect the wild dog to insist on accompanying him after he knew, and Xiuxiu was also very supportive, which made Li Zhang have no choice but to take the wild dog.
"Do you believe there are hat demons in this world?" At this time, Li Zhang suddenly asked the wild dog with great interest, the wild dog has changed a lot now, especially after getting married, and after Xiuxiu became pregnant, his whole person's words and deeds are almost the same as ordinary people, and he has done well in martial arts, and every student who challenged him was repaired by him very badly, and now almost no one dares to challenge him anymore.
"Xiuxiuxin, I'll believe it!" The wild dog nodded very affirmatively at the moment, in fact, he didn't have anything to say about the hat demon, but after Xiuxiu heard that Li Zhang was going to Luoyang to check the matter of the hat demon, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night, and told the wild dog a lot of legends about the hat demon.
Hearing the wild dog's words, Li Zhang couldn't help laughing, but at this time, the wild dog asked curiously again: "Big brother, do you believe that there is a hat demon in this world?" ”
"Hat Demon?" Li Zhang also stopped laughing when he heard this, and then pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I don't believe that there are any monsters in this world, the so-called hat demon, I think it is another thing that we don't understand, but everything will not be sure until I have seen the hat demon with my own eyes!" ”
Li Zhang also showed a solemn look at the end, in fact, he has been thinking about the hat demon during this time, no matter how you look at it, this legendary hat demon is very similar to the UFO of later generations, and what interests him even more is that only a year after the appearance of the hat demon, the plane he took traveled through time and space to the Great Song Dynasty, and he was also reborn in Li Zhang's body in a state of unsealed, is there any connection between the two?
In addition, Li Zhang still can't figure out what happened to him, and even he can't figure out who he is, originally he always thought that he was a plane crash and crossed over to Li Zhang, although the body is Li Zhang's, but the soul is still his own in the future, but recently he suspects that he is Li Zhang, but he has more memories of someone on the crashed plane, both of which are possible, and the more he thinks about it, the more confused he becomes.
Originally, Li Zhang was ready to leave this kind of incomprehensible thing behind him and stop thinking about it, but he didn't expect the hat demon to suddenly appear, and it was two years before he crossed over in the Great Song Dynasty, and there was such a big movement, which made him have to think of the relationship between the two, if the hat demon is really the legendary UFO, and UFO is generally considered to be an alien spaceship, could it be said that his crossing is related to these aliens?
It is precisely because of the above ideas that Li Zhang will take the initiative to ask to come to Luoyang to investigate the matter of the hat demon, first, to satisfy his curiosity, and secondly, to see if this hat demon is UFO, if it is, then is there any connection with his own crossing? These are all questions that Li Zhang wants to answer.
Of course, for Li Zhang's trip to Luoyang to check the hat demon, Qingzhi, Miaoyuan, and Tanuki are all very opposed, after all, they are the same as Xiuxiu, they all have an incomparable fear of the hat demon, for fear that Li Zhang will encounter any danger, even if there are wild dogs following them, they are not at ease, after all, no matter how powerful the wild dogs are, they will fight dozens of them at most, in the final analysis, they are still people, but the hat demon is a monster, and no matter how powerful a person is, he can't compare with the monster.
However, Li Zhang insisted on going, and Qingzhi and the others couldn't help it in the end, so Li Zhang had three more peace charms on his body, one each for Qingzhi, Miaoyuan and Tanuki, and it was difficult for anyone to refuse.
"By the way, isn't Qiu Qiu about to start, big brother, you go now, don't you wait for Douzi to participate in the imperial examination?" At this time, the wild dog suddenly thought of one more thing, and asked again.
The autumn festival will be held in ten days, although Luoyang is not far away, but Li Zhang wants to find out about the hat demon there, I'm afraid it will take a while, so the autumn festival will definitely be missed, and Douzi will participate in the imperial examination this year, which is also related to the future of him and Tanuki.
"The pressure on Douzi is already too great, and the pressure on him when he participates in the imperial examination in the capital will be even greater, but it is better to stay away, but I believe that Douzi will be admitted with confidence after a year's hard work!" Li Zhang sighed at this time and said.
Hearing Li Zhang's words, the wild dog also nodded, Douzi is his Xingzi, so he is also very aware of Douzi's efforts in the past year, and even in order to study, he only sleeps for two or three hours a day, sometimes he doesn't go out of the room for a whole month, in addition to books or books in the room, occasionally going out is also to ask some seniors for advice on the imperial examination, if this bean can't pass the exam, it is simply unreasonable.
The carriage galloped all the way, if it was placed in the later generations, if Tokyo to Luoyang took the high-speed, I am afraid that it would be three oblique drives, and it would be faster to take the high-speed rail, but in the era of backward transportation in the Great Song Dynasty, even if Li Zhang's carriage often changed horses at the post station to maintain the speed of the horse, but in the end it took two days to arrive in Luoyang.
Luoyang is also known as Luoyi, Luojing, because it is located in the Yang of Luoshui, the capital of the former Tang Dynasty was in Chang'an, Luoyang was in the east of Chang'an, so in the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang was also known as Tokyo, and was later renamed Shendu by Wu Zetian. When it came to the Great Song Dynasty, Luoyang was in the west of Kaifeng City, so it became the Xijing of the Great Song Dynasty.
When Li Zhang's carriage came to Luoyang, he saw a dock city wall from a distance, although Luoyang also experienced several wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but the city wall was preserved quite completely, and the city of Luoyang was rebuilt after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, so Luoyang is also second only to Tokyo in the big city.
Li Zhang had come to Luoyang in later generations, of course, he came to travel, only went to Longmen and other tourist attractions, and there was no big taro for Luoyang City, not to mention that Luoyang City after a thousand years and the current Luoyang City are also very different, even if a later generation of Luoyang people came to Luoyang a thousand years ago, I am afraid they can't find much in common.
As the city gate got closer and closer, Li Zhang also saw a group of people waiting outside the city gate at a glance, the first one was gray-haired, and he looked about fifty or sixty years old.
"Nephew Li Zhang visits uncle!" Li Zhang saw that the erudite old man led by him immediately got out of the carriage, and then saluted the other party with the gift of a junior, because this person is Qian Weiyan, and Qingzhi's mother is Qian Weiyan's own sister, so from Qingzhi's side, Li Zhang is still the other party's nephew and son-in-law.
"Captain Li is too polite!" Qian Weiyan saw Li Zhang's salute, and immediately stepped forward very happily to help him, when he was in Tokyo before, the two had met many times, and they had also visited him with Qingori, so the two sides were quite familiar.
Qian Weiyan was also very enthusiastic about Li Zhang, and after pulling him to chat a few words, he immediately introduced him to the officials who accompanied him, these are the local magistrates in Luoyang, and among these people, Li Zhang also noticed a person, this person is the same age as him, it is Ouyang Xiu, who has just been admitted to the Jinshi a few years ago, when he was in the capital, Li Zhang once had a relationship with him, but then he was snatched away by his son-in-law, and then the two never met again.
At this time, Qian Weiyan also quickly introduced Ouyang Xiu, and saw that he seemed to like Ouyang Xiu very much, and immediately beckoned to the other party: "Uncle Yong, come on, this is my nephew-in-law Li Zhang, have you heard of his name?" ”
"Xiaguan Ouyang Xiu pays a visit to Captain Li!" Ouyang Xiu also took a few steps forward to salute Li Zhang at this time, but then he looked at Li Zhang and asked with some confusion, "I don't know if Xia Guan and Li Duwei have met, why do I feel that Li Duwei is a little familiar?" ”
Ouyang Xiu and Li Zhang had only met once, and Li Zhang was very attentive to Ouyang Xiu at that time, so he recognized him at a glance this time, but Ouyang Xiu didn't have a deep understanding of Li Zhang's taro, so he just felt familiar, but he couldn't remember that when he went to see the list with Han Qi, the person who accompanied Han Qi was Li Zhang.
"Haha~, when Tiansheng was in the fifth year, I once accompanied Brother Zhigui to Donghuamen to see the list, and Uncle Yong was also there at that time, but later I saw Uncle Yong being caught and snatched away by his son-in-law under the list." Li Zhang immediately laughed and reminded.
Ouyang Xiu suddenly remembered when he heard Li Zhang's words, thinking of being caught by his son-in-law back then, he couldn't help laughing, and then asked Li Zhang about Han Qi's recent situation, and when he learned that Han Qi had been promoted to the judge of the degree branch and moved to Dr. Taichang, he couldn't help but show an envious expression, compared to Han Qi, he was a few steps behind in his career.
