I don't know when it began, there is a legend among the tribes of the Western Regions, a legend about Chang'an City.

In this legend, the Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty lives in a palace made of gold, and holds thunder and lightning in his hand, even if he is thousands of miles away, thousands of miles, the Tian Khan who lives in the golden palace can still take people's lives.

The legendary Chang'an City is always bright, because the sun hangs above the palace of the Heavenly Khan, and the moon is decorated in the dormitory by the Heavenly Khan's Kedun, and the most beautiful maidens from the world dance under the moon, their skin is as white as milk, their voices are as beautiful as nightingales, and their eyes are as bright as the stars......

It was a place where there was no cold, where the land was fertile, where food would grow automatically, fruit trees would blossom and bear fruit, and bees would offer their hard-earned honey to the great, the Heavenly Khan.

People don't need to work to have enough food, they don't need to brew, the mellow ale wine will gush out of the ground, they don't need to graze, the cattle and sheep will thrive, they don't need to weave, and the silkworms will automatically draw silk, form cocoons, and form silk.

The people in that city called Chang'an, who had nothing to do but drink, eat, and have fun, woke up from drunkenness every day, and then fell asleep in drunkenness......

The fantasy of Chang'an City in the Hui people's imagination often appears in the songs of the Hui shamans, these magical people who are said to live in the world and can communicate with the gods and ghosts, after adding their own fantasies about Chang'an City, they tell these stories to the gods and ghosts, of course, more to the Hui people who believe in what the shaman says.

"Chang'an, Chang'an, what kind of person are you to make these people in remote places worship you as heaven!"

Yun Chu muttered to himself, the appearance of Xi'an's Tang Dynasty that never sleeps kept appearing in his mind, and various descriptions of Chang'an in the history books appeared from time to time.

Although his intellect told him that Chang'an could not be as good as the herdsmen had imagined, he was unwilling to admit that Chang'an was not as beautiful as they had imagined.

Chang'an City is only suitable for dreams, and after waking up, there are still snow-capped mountains and grasslands that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Today's weather is very sunny, Yun Chu cooked goat's milk early in the morning, prepared tsamba and ghee, and waited until the sun completely appeared, and did not wait for Selema and Naha.

So, he ate all the food he had prepared, his stomach was full, and his whole body felt hot, and he hadn't felt so good for a long time.

Selema and Naha should have better food, and from now on, he doesn't have to save and can eat with his belly open.

Just when Yun Chu was brushing the jujube red horse to cultivate feelings, the old sheepskin once again came to this small Cypriot tribe.

He came on a camel, and the camel's tall stature made him look very tall, and the seven or eight young men and women who followed the camel gave the old fellow who looked like a monkey a little more majestic.

The old sheepskin is the oldest and oldest Hu man Yun Chu has ever seen!

He was already thin, his face was only the size of a palm, his back was as stiff as a prawn, and it was obvious that his skin was too big, and there were too few bones, muscles, and internal organs in his body, so that the whole skin seemed to be piled on top of him, like an old sheepskin wrapped in a bare board and hairless, perhaps this is why he was called an old sheepskin.

Although he was small, the hair on this guy's body was very heavy, especially the beard on his face was growing wildly, causing his little face, the only thing that could catch the eye was the clear eyes like water.

The eyes of the old sheepskin are light blue, without the slightest impurity, and it is these eyes that are as clear as the water of a grasshopper lake, which makes people involuntarily want to get close to him.

"My little eagle, are you ready to leave the house and go out and fly?" The old sheepskin was smiling at Yun Chu.

"I'm waiting for you to come." Yun Chu put away the brush and stood up straight.

The old sheepskin beckoned, and the boys who followed him immediately formed a staircase with their bodies on the side of the camel.

He walked down the stairs step by step, and finally came to Yun Chu and looked up at him and said, "You should have gone with me a long time ago, but you have been in this savage's den for three more years for a stupid woman." ”

Selema looked at Yun Chu not far away, and Yun Chu also looked at Selema and waved her hand, and said to the old sheepskin with a smile: "It's also three more years to live." ”

"You're so sure you're going to die if you follow me out?" The old sheepskin found a piece of sheepskin wrapped in a thick sheepskin in the sun, and squatted down.

When he squat down, he looked even thinner, and for the sake of politeness, Yun Chu had to sit on the ground with his butt so that he could look at the old sheepskin's eyes.

"Under the six realms of reincarnation, everything you hold dear will eventually be destroyed in a cruel way.

Your dearest relatives may be sentient beings you have killed! The people you hate the most may be your parents and children!

Everything is a causal continuum, why do you value it so much? ”

Yun Chu smiled when he heard this, the old guy was still the same as before, and he wanted to be a monk as long as he had the opportunity.

Thinking about where he came from, Yun Chu didn't feel strange.

No matter who follows Monk Xuanzang in the Western Regions, in Tianzhu, after 17 years of getting along with the same breath and fate, he will become a monk.

Lao Sheepskin is such a person, according to him, he followed the monk Xuanzang for seventeen years, and also protected Xuanzang for seventeen years.

Although what the old sheepskin said had not been confirmed by Yun Chu, this did not prevent the old sheepskin from being a well-informed and wise man.

The old guy is proficient in Sanskrit, Tocharian, Turkic, and most importantly, he can also speak fluent Tang Chang'an official dialect! Write a beautiful brush hand, penmanship is even the most popular flying white in Chang'an.

Yunchu's Tang Chang'an official dialect was learned from the old sheepskin, and the calligraphy was also learned from the old sheepskin, and even learned the tedious etiquette of the Tang people with the old sheepskin, and also knew the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty well.

He claimed to have traveled all over the countries of the Western Regions, and even accompanied a monk named Xuanzang to a country called Tianzhu.

Yun Chu expressed reservations about him following Xuanzang to Tianzhu, but it was from his mouth that Yun Chu first learned about the vast land of the Western Regions by looking down from a high altitude.

Then, after using some knowledge that he already knew, he obtained the coordinates of his region, as well as the coordinates of time and space.

Seriously speaking, the old sheepskin is actually Yun Chu's first leader in this world.

He really wanted to worship the old sheepskin as a teacher, but unfortunately, the old sheepskin never agreed.

Perhaps it was bewitched by Xuanzang, the current old sheepskin is a fanatical believer in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, he insists that he should climb to Chang'an City even if he climbs, and finally dies happily in that glorious, glorious, and bright city.

This may be the last hope in his long life, but he doesn't know which of the three people he is, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk.

The old sheepskin's fanaticism for Chang'an infected Yun Chu, and he regarded Chang'an as his own destination, and there was no reason for him, a pure Chang'an person, to throw his life in the Western Regions.

Old Sheepskin's actions and words resembled pyramid schemes, and the city of Chang'an he described was more like a paradise than a city on earth.

It's just because the final destination is Chang'an that Yun Chu chooses to believe in this person, after all, people with lofty goals will not be bad.

"When I first met you, you were exactly eight years old, and it has been five years, and I have taught you for five years, and I can tell you with certainty, you are a little eagle with this body, believe me, you should go to Chang'an, instead of staying in this muddy pond in the Western Regions and dragging your tail and getting dirty.

Go back early, if you don't go back, I'm going to die here. ”

The old sheepskin monkey's round eyes slowly became a little foggy, and it could be seen that he was very sad at this time.

Yun Chu's head hurt for no reason, and he lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't Xuanzang bring you with him when he returned to the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The mist and sadness in the old sheepskin's eyes disappeared immediately when he heard this, and those eyes became as sharp as a falcon, staring at Yun Chu deadly.

This sentence should have asked about the sore spot of the old sheepskin, Yun Chu did not avoid it, and also stared at the eyes of the old sheepskin.

"Alas......" the old sheepskin sighed, and then said weakly: "The mage was picked up by the officers and soldiers......"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Let's go!" ”

Old sheepskin; He was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's go?" Aren't you reluctant to leave? ”

Yun Chu got up and came to Selema's side, hugged the woman who raised him heavily, and whispered in her ear, "Mom, I'm leaving." ”

Selema held back her crying and took out a string of white stones from her arms and tied them to Yun Chu's wrists, these stones were the white jade that Naha used to throw stones on weekdays, and they were still stained with Selema's body temperature.

"Live well, I'll wait for you under the snowy mountain, waiting for the day you become a big hero."

Yun Chu nodded, returned to the tent and took out a cowhide backpack and carried it on his back, put a cowhide horse bag on the horse's back, led the horse to the old sheepskin that had been riding a camel, and left the Cypriot tribe where he had lived for thirteen years without saying a word.

Miman stood on the edge of the tent, watching with envy as Yun Chu rode past his tent, and it could be seen that he wanted to follow several times, and finally, for some reason, he sat down quietly with his back against the tent.

Yun Chu didn't see Naha, which made him a little disappointed, and Selema followed them for a while, then stopped under a tall cedar tree to watch Yun Chu go away.

A fat marmot, however, chased the group along the high slope through the weeds, and at last, seeing the golden eagle hovering in the sky, disappeared into the grass.
