The villain was forced to whitewash

Shen Zui and A Lun followed a caravan headed for Douguo. They walked for several days, but before they got out of the desert, they saw flying yellow sand, not to mention animals, and there was no water.

When the last drop of water bottomed out, Allen said with a bitter face, "My lord priest, what should we do? We've run out of water."

Shen Zui was leading a camel, his head and face were tightly covered by a cloth towel, his attire was not uncommon in the desert with strong sunlight, so he did not attract attention.

Hearing Alan say that the water is gone, Shen Zui doesn't worry about it. Although his strength can't make it rain, it's still no problem to get some water and food.

He comforted Allen, "Don't worry, there will be a way."

Alan's trust in Shen Zui has reached the point of blindness, when he heard Shen Zui say don't worry, he was really relieved, nodded, put away the water bag, and followed the caravan together with Shen Zui.

In the evening, the caravan stopped to rest, and Shen Zui also lit a fire not far away.

The day is hot and the night is cold in this desert, if you don't light a fire, you will definitely get frostbite.

In the distance, another group of businessmen also followed. When they saw the people who were repairing here, their eyes flickered.

Everyone thought they were also passers-by, but when the distance between the two groups was less than fifty steps, those who arrived later suddenly pulled out their knives from their waists. The snow-white blades reflected the setting sun like blood, like The bloodstained teeth of wild beasts are like sharp teeth, which makes people feel terrified just by looking at them.

They were so unlucky that they ran into desert bandits.

The people in the caravan were in a mess, and the sound of knives chopping bones made one's scalp tingle.

"Run!" Shen Zui pulled Alan, turned his head, and ran desperately, and the screams of the caravan people kept coming from behind.

Someone was chasing them. At first, there was only one footstep. Later, there were more and more footsteps. They laughed and said, "Don't run away, you can't escape."

They were clearly able to deal with the two teenagers quickly and neatly, but they didn't do it for a long time. Instead, they played tricks on them like a cat catching a mouse.

In the end, Allen tripped over a tree branch and dragged Shen Zui down.

Behind them, bandits had already caught up, and they laughed wantonly: "The game is over, two little mice!"

Shen Zui turned his head and saw a sand bandit holding a knife and slashing at him fiercely. Shen Zui was so frightened that he subconsciously closed his eyes, but he didn't wait for the expected pain.

He slowly opened his eyes, wanting to check the situation, and saw that Sand Bandit was staring at him blankly like this, the blade was less than a finger's width away from the tip of Shen Zui's nose.

When he was intoxicated and surprised, the bandit had already put away his knife and was still looking at him obsessively, but when he opened his mouth, he revealed his banditry: "As long as you are willing to serve me, I won't kill you, how about it?"

Shen Zui touched his face, it turned out that he lost the scarf in a panic just now.

The sand bandit couldn't wait any longer, he dropped the knife, and wanted to rush over and hug Shen Zui, but at this moment, a knife stabbed him from behind, stabbing him to the core.

The tip of the knife even protruded from his chest. Both Shen Zui and Alan were taken aback for a moment. In the next second, blood gushed out from the bandit's wound, and a few drops splashed on Shen Zui's face. Holy and innocent beauty defiles the general.

The bandit whose heart was pierced slowly fell down, revealing a strange young man standing behind him.

It was only at this time that Shen Zui noticed that the other sand bandits were all dealt with by this young man, each of them was fatal with one move, and died silently.

At this moment, the young man stepped up and walked towards them.

Shen Zui was startled, and stared at him warily.

Sensing the guard in his eyes, the young man was taken aback for a moment, looked at the scimitar in his hand, whose tip was still dripping with blood, suddenly realized that he threw it away, waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you .”

After a massacre by praying mantises catching cicadas and orioles, the original place could not stay anymore. They found another leeward place and lit a fire to keep warm.

Allen was very nervous. After experiencing such a horrible thing, not long after he was safe, he dozed off bit by bit.

Shen Zui said to him, "Ah Lun, go to bed."

Allen still hesitated: "But..."

He looked at the strange man and hesitated.

Shen Zui smiled at him: "Don't worry, there is a benefactor here, no? There will be no sand bandits daring to provoke us again."

Allen went to sleep, and suddenly only Shen Zui and the young man who saved them were left by the campfire.

After a while of silence, Shen Zui asked first: "I haven't had time to ask my benefactor, Gao's name."

The young man thought for a while before saying, "Just call me Hu Tian."

Shen Zui noticed his suspicious pause, thinking that this should be a pseudonym.

Then he asked again: "Why did Engong appear alone in this desert?"

This time, the young man was silent for a long time before saying, "Come and find someone."

Shen Zui felt that his behavior was covering up, maybe his identity wasn't it? It was simple, so he didn't dare to delve into it further, and instead said: "The villain and my younger brother want to go to Dou Kingdom, don't you? Do you know where benefactor is going?"

The young man finally answered fluently this time, "Then I will go to Dou Guo as well."

This time Hu Tianwen was intoxicated, and he said, "Why did you leave here?"

Shen Zui felt that his way of asking was a bit strange, isn't it normal? Should he be asked why he went to Dou Guo?But this young man named Hu Tian has a different focus.

Shen Zui was stunned for a moment, and replied, "I'm also looking for someone."

The young man asked: "Who are you looking for?"

It is already night, and the moon hangs in the night sky, big and round, lonely and deserted.

Shen Zui looked at the bright moon and sighed faintly: "The person I like."

The young man at the side fell silent, turned around intoxicated and asked him, "What about you? Who are you looking for?"

The young man seemed to be very depressed. He didn't answer, but said, "Are you sleepy too? Go to sleep, I'll keep watch."

Didn't he mention it? It's okay. When he mentioned it, he couldn't help but yawned when he was drunk. He wanted to hold it back, but he couldn't stop the drowsiness.

He said: "Then please benefactor, please remember to wake me up in the middle of the night and replace me with vigil."

Hu Tian nodded and said softly, "Go to sleep."

However, Hu Tian didn't wake him up all night, he fell asleep intoxicated and beautifully, and when he woke up again, it was already daylight.

Hu Tian was still sitting next to the bonfire, his movements were the same as last night, as if he hadn't moved at all.

Shen Zui got up and said apologetically, "Engong, I'm sorry, I forgot to get up."

Hu Tian raised his eyelids and glanced at him, said: "It's nothing," then pointed to Allen, and said to Shen Zui: "Wake him up, it's time for us to set off."

A faint feeling of intoxication.Hu Tian's attitude towards him seemed much colder.

No? But he didn't think much about it. He picked up Allen and started another day of hard work.

Fortunately, when they passed yesterday's camp, they found two camels that had come back again. They didn't seem to care about the dead people lying all over the ground, and they were still chewing the hay on the ground.

"There should be their owners here, right?" Shen Zui said, couldn't help but think, in this desert, within three days, the corpses would be buried in the yellow sand, no one knew that they had disappeared forever in the desert In this sea of ​​sand.

Not much time to sigh, they took the two camels and started on the road again.

It's just that Hu Tian didn't sit down, but walked on the ground, leading the camel that was sitting intoxicated.

Shen Zui felt a little sorry, "Grandfather, let me trade with you, come up and have a seat."

Hu Tian shook his head, "I'm not? Tired."

After another two hours, the sun rose to the sky, and I felt unbearable sitting on a camel intoxicated, let alone Hu Tian who stepped on the hot sand.

He suggested again: "Grandpa, how about? Let's take a rest?"

This time Hu Tian finally didn't refuse. They found a bush to hide from the sun in the shade.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Intoxicated still in the desert? During the hard trek, the New Moon Kingdom has become a mess.

Because the temple that stood at the highest point of the New Moon Kingdom turned into nothing overnight.

When the people arrived, they saw Shu Lai on the observatory in a state of distress, with an anxious face, "Hurry up and put out the fire, the high priest is still inside!"

But the fire was so powerful that it could even blow up a god statue, how could it be extinguished by manpower?

In the end, people didn't even find the bones of the high priest. The quiet and calm priest was reduced to ashes in the fire.

After hearing the official's report, the queen was still a little dazed.

She still remembered that on the first day she had just crossed over, the young priest handed her a crystal ball, and with his gentle voice, miraculously soothed the anxiety in her heart.

Because of this, she has been delaying the "former empress"'s promise to Shu Lai, planning to let Shen Zui remain the high priest, and when the time is right, she will make up for Shu Lai with other things.

Unexpectedly, a fire destroyed the temple and took away the high priest who was as pale as a chrysanthemum.

"As the order continues, the high priest died unexpectedly, and the whole country mourned for three days," the queen thought for a while, and then said: "The young god envoy Shu Lai survived the disaster, and according to the oracle of the heavenly god, ordered the young god envoy Shu Lai to take over the post of high priest. "

The high priest suffered a sudden accident. Except for those who had been helped by him, there were not many people in the whole New Moon Kingdom who really grieved for him.

On the day of Shu Lai's succession, Sky Lake Oasis held a grand succession ceremony, and the queen crowned him personally.

After the ceremony, everyone surrounded Shulai and congratulated him on his promotion to the high priest. Only General Mercy stood aside and looked at him with cold eyes.

The former High Priest, Shen Zui, lived in seclusion and isolated himself from the crowd, but if you want to talk about friends? There is actually one, and that is General Mercy.

Shu Lai didn't know how they hooked up, this Mercy always stood by Shen Zui's side on weekdays, which annoyed him a lot and made him very happy.

Now, he finally raised his eyebrows, and naturally he had to show off in front of Mercy and let out a bad breath.

He came in front of Mercy, with a mocking smile on his face covered by the veil, but his tone was full of nobility and pride, as if he was born to be a noble and elegant high priest, "General Mercy? General, although you and I There are some grievances on weekdays, but since you came to participate in the succession ceremony of this priest, no matter what? You should congratulate me, right?"

Mercy did not hide her malice towards Shu Lai at all. She sneered coldly and walked away.

When passing by Shu Lai, she said a word, which made Shu Lai's face suddenly pale.

She said, "You think I don't know who set the fire?"
