Chapter 14 A Monkey Abandoned by Buddha
I don't know when it started, each tribe in the Western Regions has a legend, a legend about Chang'an City.

In this legend, Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty lives in a palace made of gold high above, and holds lightning in his hand. Even if thousands of miles are separated, Tian Khan living in the golden palace can still kill people.

The legendary Chang'an City is always bright, because the sun hangs above the palace of Tian Khan, and the moon is decorated in the palace by Ke Dun of Tian Khan. The most beautiful girls from all over the world are dancing under the moon. Dancing, their skin is as white as milk, their voices are as beautiful as nightingales, their eyes are as bright as stars, everyone who sees these eyes will be deeply addicted, and they will not know hunger or thirst , let alone know that time is slowly passing by until it turns into a pile of dry bones...

It is a place without cold, where the land is fertile, food will grow from the land automatically, fruit trees will automatically bloom and bear fruit, and bees will dedicate their hard-brewed honey to the great God Khan.

People can have enough food without labor, without brewing, mellow ale will gushes out from the ground, without grazing, cattle and sheep will thrive, without weaving, silkworms will automatically spin, and produce Cocoon, into silk.

The people in the city called Chang'an have nothing to do except drinking, eating, and having fun. They wake up from drunkenness every day, and then fall asleep intoxicated...

The Chang'an City in the fantasy of the Huihe people often appears in the songs of the Huihe shamans. These magical people who are said to live in the world and can communicate with gods and ghosts tell these stories to the gods after adding their own fantasies about Chang'an City. And ghosts, of course, are more telling to those Uighurs who shamans believe in everything.

"Chang'an, Chang'an, what do you look like, that people in these remote places can regard you as heaven!"

Yun Chu muttered to himself, the appearance of Xi'an, the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty, and various descriptions of Chang'an in the history books appeared in his mind from time to time.

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

Chang'an City is only suitable to appear in dreams. After waking up, there are still snow mountains and grasslands that have not changed for thousands of years.

Today's weather is very sunny, Yunchu boiled goat milk early in the morning, prepared tsampa and ghee, and waited until the sun came out completely, but he didn't wait for Sailaima and Naha.

So, he ate up the prepared food by himself, his stomach was full, and he felt hot all over. He hadn't felt such a good feeling for a long time.

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

Just when Yunchu was grooming the bay red horse to cultivate feelings, Lao Yangpi once again came to this small Cypriot tribe.

He came riding a camel, the tall camel made him look tall, and the seven or eight boys and girls behind the camel made this monkey-like old guy somewhat It has some majestic meaning.

Lao Yangpi is the oldest, the oldest barbarian Yunchu has ever seen!
He is already skinny, his face is only the size of a palm, and his back is as bent as a prawn. Obviously, his skin is too big, and there are too few bones, muscles, and internal organs in his body, so that the whole skin seems to be piled up on him. His body was like being wrapped in a piece of old sheepskin that was bare and hairless. Perhaps, this was why he was called old sheepskin.

Although thin, the hair on this guy's body is very heavy, especially the beard on his face is growing wantonly. As a result, the only thing that attracts attention on his small face is his pair of clear eyes.

Lao Yangpi's eyes are light blue, without any impurities, it is these eyes that are as clear as grasshopper lake water, which makes people involuntarily want to get close to him.

"My little eagle, are you ready to leave home and fly?" Lao Yangpi smiled at Yunchu.

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

Lao Yangpi beckoned, and the teenagers who followed him immediately formed a ladder with their bodies beside the camel.

He walked down the stairs step by step like this, and finally came to Yunchu, looked up at him and said, "You should have left with me a long time ago, but you stayed in this savage den for three years because of a stupid woman."

Sailaima looked at Yunchu not far away, Yunchu also looked at Sailaima doting on her and waved her hand, smiled and said to Lao Yangpi: "It can be regarded as three years of life."

"Are you so sure you will die if you go out with me?" Lao Yangpi found a piece of sunny place wrapped in a thick sheepskin cloak and squatted down.

When he squatted down, he became even thinner. To be polite, Yun Chu had to sit down on the ground so that he could look at Lao Yangpi's eyes.

"Under the Six Realms of Reincarnation, what you cherish will eventually be destroyed in a cruel way.

Your closest relatives may be the sentient beings you killed yourself!The person you hate the most may be your parents and children!
Everything is continuation of cause and effect, why do you value it so much? "

Yun Chu smiled when he heard this, the old guy is still the same as before, he wants to become a monk whenever he has the chance.

Thinking about his background, Yun Chu didn't find it strange.

No matter who follows Monk Xuanzang in the Western Regions, in Tianzhu, after 17 years of living together, breathing and sharing fate, he will become a monk.

Lao Yangpi is such a person. According to him, he followed Monk Xuanzang for 17 years and protected Xuanzang for 17 years.

Although what Lao Yangpi said has not been confirmed by Yunchu, this does not prevent Lao Yangpi from being a well-informed and wise man.

The old guy is proficient in Sanskrit, Tocharian, and Turkic, and most importantly, he can speak fluent Tang Chang'an official dialect!He writes beautifully with a calligraphy brush, and the brushwork is even the most popular Feibai in Chang'an.

Yunchu learned the Chang'an official dialect of the Tang Dynasty from Lao Yangpi, learned the calligraphy from Lao Yangpi, and even learned the tedious etiquette of the Tang people from Lao Yangpi, and knew the landscape of the Tang Dynasty like the back of his hand.

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

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

Then, after confirming it with some knowledge that he already knew, he obtained the geographical coordinates and space-time coordinates of where he was.

Seriously speaking, Lao Yangpi is actually Yunchu's first leader in this world.

He really wanted to worship Lao Yangpi as his teacher, but unfortunately, Lao Yangpi never agreed.

Perhaps bewitched by Xuanzang, the current Lao Yangpi is a fanatical believer in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. He insisted that even if he climbed, he should climb to Chang'an City, and finally died happily in that glorious, glorious Yes, in the bright city.

This may be his last hope in his long life, but he just doesn't know which one of the three is Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha.

Lao Yangpi's enthusiasm for Chang'an infected Yunchu. He, a barbarian, regards Chang'an as his destination. It makes no sense for him, a pure Chang'an native, to spend his whole life in the Western Regions.

Lao Yangpi's behavior and words are very similar to pyramid schemes, and the Chang'an city he described is more like a paradise than a city on earth.

It was only because the final destination was Chang'an that Yunchu chose to trust this person. After all, people with lofty goals are not bad at all.

"You were eight years old when I first met you. Five years have passed, and I have taught you for five years. I can tell you with certainty that you are a little eagle. Believe me, you should Go to Chang'an, instead of staying in the muddy pond of the Western Regions to drag your tail and get covered in filth.

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

The round eyes like an old sheepskin monkey gradually became foggy, and it could be seen that he was very sad at this moment.

Yun Chu felt a pain in his heart for no reason, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "When Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, why didn't he bring you with him?"

The mist and sadness in Lao Yangpi's eyes immediately disappeared when he heard these words, and those eyes became as sharp as a falcon, staring at Yun Chu firmly.

This sentence should have asked about Lao Yangpi's sore spot, Yun Chu did not avoid it, and also stared into Lao Yangpi's eyes.

"Oh..." Lao Yangpi sighed, and then said weakly: "The mage was picked up by the officers and soldiers..."

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

Lao Yangpi was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's go now? Aren't you reluctant to leave?"

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

Selema resisted crying, and took out a string of white stones from her bosom and tied them to Yunchu's wrist. These stones were the white jade Naha usually used to throw stones, and Selema's body temperature was still on them. .

"Live well, I will wait for you under the snow mountain, waiting for the day you become a great hero."

Yun Chu nodded, went back to the tent, took out a cowhide backpack and put it on his back, put a cowhide horse bag on the horse's back, led the horse to Lao Yangpi who had already ridden the camel, and kept silent all the time. He left the Cypriot tribe where he had lived for 13 years.

Mi Man was standing by the edge of the tent, watching Yun Chu riding past his tent enviously, and it was obvious that he wanted to follow up several times, but in the end, for some reason, he still sat quietly with his back against the tent. down.

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

However, a fat marmot chased the team along the high slope in the grass for a while, and finally, because it saw the golden eagle hovering in the sky, it got into the grass and disappeared.
