Chapter 349: A real dragon in the water is not as good as a fish, even a phoenix in the sky is envious of a bird

The night is quiet and the fire is rising.

Li Daoxuan rolled up his sleeves, lit a bonfire, and began to show off his cooking skills.

I saw him select a pheasant from the Three Realms gourd, then skillfully pluck the feathers, bleed, remove the internal organs, sprinkle with salt and seasonings, wrap it in lotus leaves, evenly smear the outside with mud, and put it in the hot coals

bake.

In addition, he also grilled some lamb and pork.

As for the soup, it is boiled water shield soup.

Water shield is a wild vegetable that people in the Tang Dynasty loved very much. Water shield soup is fragrant and relieves greasiness, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. It is a home-cooked dish.

An hour later.

The aroma has filled the entire courtyard, and even the rich fragrance of flowers has been covered up by the aroma of meat.

Chacha drooled from the corner of her mouth, looking longingly at the barbecue in Li Daoxuan's hand, completely forgetting that she was a vegetarian green tea drinker.

Taizhen looked at Li Daoxuan's serious expression under the dancing firelight, smiled slightly, and felt that this junior brother was becoming more and more interesting.

She originally thought that the junior brother would at most take out some ready-made food from the storage artifact, but she never thought that the junior brother could actually cook, and he seemed to be a good cook.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan lacked a bit of the worldly refinement of a monk, but had more of the human fireworks that she admired more.

"To be honest, Miss Zhuge, I actually love food very much. Unfortunately, after entering the Bigu realm, I can only eat wind, drink dew, and take medicine to practice Qi. It has been a long time since I have cooked delicious food with my own hands."

After a pause, Li Daoxuan looked at Taizhen who was holding the scroll and said: "Miss Zhuge, you are also in the Bigu realm now, don't you know the dangers involved?"

Taizhen put down the book, looked free and easy, and said with a smile: "My ambition is not to practice Taoism, but to be free and happy, and indulge in the world."

After a pause, she looked at the moon in the sky and sighed: "Even if you cultivate to the point where it shines with the sun and the moon, if you can't be happy, what's the point?"

"The real dragon in the water may not be happier than a swimming fish. The phoenix in the sky may not be as carefree as a sparrow. In the three thousand worlds and the whirling universe, I only seek the happiness of the moment."

When he said these words, Li Daoxuan found that there was an inexplicable emotion in the other person's eyes. The emotions in them were very complicated, seeming to be relaxed and sad, which made him unable to see clearly for a moment.

"The joy of the moment?"

Li Daoxuan frowned slightly. Compared with eternal life, is the joy of the present so important?

Taizhen smiled and said: "The joy of the moment is to have a good taste of your craftsmanship, Mr. Li!"

Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Just in time, everything is already cooked."

The three of them ate barbecue first. Because of the many seasonings, the taste was naturally extremely delicious, and their mouths were filled with oil.

Taizhen accepted everyone who came and ate a lot. Her movements could not be called elegant, but they were not rude like Chacha, but free and unrestrained, which neither made people feel restrained nor rough, and made it easier for people to live.

A feeling of closeness.

After finishing the barbecue, Li Daoxuan took out the beggar's chicken from the charcoal fire, smashed the yellow mud on the outside, opened the lotus leaves, revealing the golden and juicy chicken inside, and the rich aroma suddenly spread out.

This approach made Tai Zhen very interested.

The practice of begging chicken did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, so Taizhen, who was well-read, had never heard of it.

When she tasted a piece of chicken, her eyes lit up slightly and she praised: "The meat is delicious and has a hint of lotus leaf and earthy fragrance, not bad!"

On a whim, she even asked Chacha to take out a pen and paper and write down how to cook the beggar's chicken.

Li Daoxuan said in surprise: "Miss Zhuge, are you making up a recipe?"

I saw that there are many recipes for dishes recorded on it.

Taizhen smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by real people. Apart from practicing, I like poetry, wine, tea, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. What I like most is writing. In addition to these recipes, I also like to write some story novels."

, just to entertain ourselves.”

After a pause, she said: "Even if you die one day, after you are reincarnated, you can still taste the recipes and read the articles written in the past. Isn't it a wonderful thing in life?"

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel a little admiration when he saw her talking and laughing without thinking about life and death, and her unrestrained and wanton attitude.

Although this woman has average qualifications and plain appearance, her conversational skills are extraordinary and her temperament is free and unrestrained. She is like a hermit in the bamboo forest during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. She is unruly and unrestrained. She is not bound by secular etiquette. She lives in seclusion in Nanshan and is self-sufficient. She can be called a strange person.

.

After Taizhen had eaten his fill, he washed his hands with clean water. His slender, snow-white green onion jade fingers were soaked in the morning dew of flowers, and they soon became clean and spotless.

She touched Chacha's head, wiped her hands dry at the same time, and then said with a smile: "There is no wine today. Next time Li Zhenren comes, you should be able to drink the Baihuazu brewed in my cellar. I will treat you to a drink then."

.”

"There's no need to call us real people anymore, let's just call them friends."

Although this woman named Zhuge Qing was not profound in moral conduct, Li Daoxuan was impressed by her demeanor and was willing to make friends with her.

"If that's the case, I won't be polite, Brother Li."

Taizhen bowed Yingying and said with a smile: "Brother Li is really calm. Until now, he has not asked me for clues about the missing person case."

Li Daoxuan returned the gift and said, "I believe Miss Zhuge is not the one who broke her promise."

Taizhen smiled and said: "Brother Li, there is no need to provoke me, I will just tell you."

After a pause, she said: "Actually, I don't know the specific clues. Everything is just my speculation. Brother Li will give it a try and I will give it a try."

"I would like to hear the details."

Taizhen suddenly asked: "Brother Li, what do you think is the most critical information in the missing person case?"

Li Daoxuan thought for a while and said: "The murderer's intention?"

Why does the murderer insist on gouging out people's eyes? Is he practicing some evil magic, or does he have other ulterior secrets?

But Taizhen shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I thought it was those eyes."

"Eye?"

Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in his heart, but he couldn't catch it.

"Brother Li is actually very smart. It's just that you are profound in Taoism and have gradually become accustomed to relying on strength to act. In fact, sometimes you can peel off the cocoons and find the key without using magical channels."

Tai Zhen said meaningfully: "Those eyes are not ordinary eyes."

Li Daoxuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he realized that he had overlooked a very important clue!

Wang Bo once told him that people whose eyes were gouged out were all born with yin and yang eyes. At that time, his first reaction was to guess the murderer's intention and think about what the other person was doing by gouging out his yin and yang eyes, but he forgot one thing.

That is the huge city of Chang'an, with a population of hundreds of thousands. How does the murderer accurately find those people who are born with spiritual eyes?

"Brother Li, it seems you have finally thought of it."

Taizhen smiled and said: "Chang'an is different from other places. It is the imperial capital and is protected by dragon energy. Therefore, it is unlikely that the other party is those who found it using magical powers. It is very likely that they used secular means."

Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his thoughts surged like a spring.

"I understand, but the city of Chang'an is so big and there are so many people. An ordinary intelligence organization will never be able to do this."

"If you want to accurately find a target among hundreds of thousands of people, you need accurate birth dates, and throughout Chang'an City, there is only one place that has such an ability!"

Two words flashed in Li Daoxuan's mind.

Tobe!

Everyone in Chang'an City must be naturalized after birth, and their place of birth and place of birth are recorded in the household records. From this, it can be inferred who has the natural yin and yang eyes.

Therefore, the murderer of the missing-eye case must have an inseparable connection with the Ministry of Household Affairs!
