A crow in the desert

He came up and removed his old clothes, and someone next to him held up a colorful floor-sweeping robe. After Chi Yan put on this dress, he immediately looked brand new, like the morning glow and bright moon, and all the disciples praised him unceasingly.Then someone brings hot water, towels, razors, etc.

Chi Yan flicked his sleeves and sat on the rock.Chu Chenzi rolled up his sleeves, wrapped a piece of cloth around Chi Yan's neck, dipped his hands into the basin, twisted a wet towel, and wiped Chi Yan's face, then picked up the razor with a sharp blade, and held it under the light of the fire Shine brightly.

The razor walked on Chi Yan's face, Chu Chenzi lowered his eyes and looked modest, and the other disciples also bowed their heads and stood beside him.Chi Yan looked leisurely, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen'er's craftsmanship is better, I can't trust others."

Chu Chenzi smiled slightly, kept his hands on his hands, and said warmly: "It's the master who did it well." Before he finished speaking, his wrist sank, the blade sank into Chi Yan's throat, and blood spattered.

The smile froze on Chi Yan's face, he let out a loud shout, and slapped the dust flying with his palm. With a wave of his robe sleeve, he stepped back dozens of steps, stretched out his hand to press the blood vessels in his neck, and gurgled: "Rebel!" The other disciples did not After answering, they picked up torches one after another and threw them at him.Sparks landed on Chi Yan's robe, and there was a bang, as if the clothes had been sprinkled with medicinal powder, it would ignite immediately upon touching the fire, emitting a faint green light, immediately completely surrounding Chi Yan.

The disciples did not dare to relax, they held their weapons and stared at the flame.Wu Ya and Li Yue rushed over to check on Chen Zi's injuries. They saw that his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bleeding, his body was limp, and his ribs were all broken. It seemed that he would not survive.Crow and Li Yue were both terrified and didn't know what to say. Suddenly, the flames splattered, and the two bent down, only to hear the whizzing sound in their ears, mixed with the screams of the disciples.When he looked up, he saw that Chi Yan was covered in piss and his hair was burnt yellow, but the clothes had been shattered into pieces, killing a group of disciples on the ground.

Chi Yan's face was blank, without much expression, he bent down, grabbed a disciple and said: "Qingsong, why did you kill Master, eh?"

The disciple was covered in blood, seeing that there was no way out, he said loudly: "I was originally a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but you forcibly snatched me here for your pleasure. I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood."

The rest also cursed loudly, and said that their wives and daughters were all killed by Chi Yan, and some said that they hadn't seen their parents for many years because they were captured by Chi Yan and forcibly snatched them to the mountain.

Chi Yan straightened his waist, glanced over the crowd, and said, "Although I captured you, I have treated you very well these past few years. You say you respect me and love me, but you actually hate me so much in your heart. Really... ...It's hard for you." After saying this, he raised his hand and grabbed a disciple's shoulder, threw it casually, and threw it into the abyss in the darkness.The rest trembled in fright, or cursed loudly, or begged for mercy in a low voice, but were thrown into the abyss without exception.

Seeing that there were only three people left on the ground, Chi Yan walked towards them slowly, stared at them for a while, and said: "Are you the helpers invited by Chen'er?" Yes, I didn't expect to kill me." He raised his hand and touched his neck, at this time the blood from his body had already stained most of his body red, but he didn't care.

When Wu Ya and Li Yue saw this person, they couldn't help but tremble all over, feeling scared from the bottom of their hearts.Li Yue didn't say anything, and the crow said tremblingly: "This master, Chu Chenzi didn't want to offend you, he has always thought of you in his heart."

Chi Yan said coldly: "Think about letting me die." He waved his big hand: "Get out of the way." Crow and Li Yue involuntarily stepped back and sat on the ground, not daring to step forward.

Chi Yan bent down and supported Chu Chenzi's back.Chu Chenzi had already fainted, but at this moment he suddenly woke up, although he couldn't see, he smiled slightly.Chi Yan said: "Chen'er, I love you for nothing as a teacher."

Chu Chenzi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master, I'm going to die soon."

Chi Yan stared at his face, and said: "You have been poisoned by Gu, and I slapped you, so naturally you will not survive."

Chuchenzi hummed, and said, "Then if I die, will you be sad, Master?"

Chi Yan frowned, looking at him strangely.

Chu Chenzi smiled and said: "Master, you like this senior brother today, and that senior brother tomorrow. But I only like you, Master. I thought in my heart, if I can't be with Master while alive, then it's good to be together in death." When he said this, blood flowed from his eyes, but his tone was very gentle and charming.

Chi Yan didn't answer, Chu Chenzi said again: "Senior brother and the others conspired to kill you. Although I also participated, I came here with the determination to die. I am actually very happy to die under Master's hands." Laughing He smiled, buried his face in Chi Yan's palm, and muttered in a low voice: "I miss you very much. You have been in seclusion for nine years. I miss you every day. Now I finally see you. I have no regrets in dying." As he spoke, his tone was almost inaudible, and finally he lost his voice.

Chi Yan looked down at him, put him gently on the ground after a while, brushed his fingers over the broken hair on his forehead, and said, "Silly boy." Li Yue's voice was extremely low and hoarse: "You have eavesdropped on the secrets of our sect, and you should have been bitten by ten thousand snakes, but you are the friend of that child. Whole body."

After saying this, he raised his palm, and felt a gust of wind being sucked into his palm, and the surrounding trees shook one after another.Seeing that there was no way out after this palm, Crow and Li Yue hugged each other's shoulders, closed their eyes, and were in a daze.After a long while, the two of them didn't notice the wind of the palm falling on their bodies. They raised their heads, only to see Chi Yan still standing there, with his eyes wide open, his palm raised, motionless.

The two watched for a while, and the crow went up and touched Chi Yan's shoulder, Chi Yan immediately fell to the ground, motionless, it turned out that he had been dead for a long time.

The two of them felt very lucky for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the blood on the ground dried up, leaving only the bodies of Chi Yan and Chu Chenzi.Crow thought for a while, then moved the two corpses into the stone room, placed them side by side, and then covered them with gravel. On the stone wall next to them was engraved: The tomb of Chi Yan, the ancestor of the Wuya School, and his disciple, Chuchenzi.Li Yue said with a smile: "It's really a different bed and death in the same hole. If that little demon has a spirit in the sky, he must be happy in his heart."

Crow sighed: "It's rare to see such an infatuated person in the world."

Li Yue stared at his cheek and said, "There are many infatuated people, you just can't see them."

After hearing this, the crow coughed and walked away.

The two went down the mountain, walked in the woods for a few days, bought two horses, and headed north.There were no obstacles along the way. After passing the border of Hebei, there was heavy snow in the sky. The two rode on horseback. , At that time, I was only covered with a layer of felt cloth, but I didn’t feel cold, it’s really funny.” A faint smile appeared on his face.

Li Yue's heart was sour, and he said: "You left him at the beginning, and now you have the cheek to go to him, aren't you afraid that he will slap you?"

Crow smiled and said: "I was too young at that time, and I didn't know how much I loved him in my heart. When we meet, he should hit me a few times." He glanced at Li Yue and said, "Promise me not to It's difficult for him, remember?"

Li Yue lowered his face: "You said that yourself, I didn't promise you."

The crow reined in the horse's head and turned to look at him. Li Yue was so stared at him that his heart was frightened, so he lowered his eyelids and snorted: "I don't have a single soldier now, how can I fight against him?"

The crow nodded and smiled, "That's good."

The two traveled westward for dozens of days, and all they could see was the endless desert. When they passed by Sanwu, the place was covered by desert and turned into a huge sand dune. Seeing many bones, the crow had a vague premonition in his heart, Li Yue comforted him: "In the desert, lost travelers often die of hunger and thirst, so don't make a fuss."

The two walked along the Silk Road for a few more days. In what should have been Loulan Kingdom, they saw only an abandoned castle covered by wind and sand. The river bed outside the city was dry and full of sand.The two rode around the city for a week, feeling anxious.The crow couldn't bear it anymore and jumped onto the tower, only to see that the houses in the city had collapsed, and there was no one there. The yellow sand covered the red walls and yellow tiles, and the city was desolate.The crow shouted loudly: "Li Su, I'm back." He ran towards the palace, only to see that the palace gate was wide open, the flowers and trees inside were withered, the pool was dry, and the house was empty, as if it had been ransacked.

The crow walked around the palace for a while, walked out of the palace gate, and bumped into Li Yue head-on.Li Yue was also full of confusion: "Where did everyone go?"

The two looked at each other, and the crow asked: "Could it be a collective relocation?"

Li Yue stayed for a while, and said: "I have lived in Loulan for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of such a thing as relocation." Discuss with your subordinates and say that the water volume of the river outside the city is decreasing year by year, so we should plan the relocation as soon as possible."

The crow felt relieved when he thought that Li Su had just moved away and his life was not in danger, and then said: "Let's rest for tonight and ask the herdsmen about his whereabouts tomorrow."

Li Yue glanced at him, and said slowly: "The Western Region is vast, if they travel thousands of miles, where would you find them?"

The crow smiled and said: "It's not possible." After a pause, he said: "You can always find it."

Li Yue bit his lip and tilted his head to look at him: "What if I can't find it in my life?"
