Chapter 928: Crow

Behind the dessert shop are two wing rooms, one is the owner's living place, and the other is the shop and warehouse where the guys live. Yun Shu led the two to the guest room on the left and introduced with a smile: "The boss and I are old acquaintances. Every time I come, I prepare the guest room for me, and there are also a bunch of delicious pastries. I am so embarrassed, hahaha! Don't be restrained and sit around casually. I received a message from my second brother before and was worried about how to find you to get along. As a result, I happened to meet after having a meal! Fate, this is the real fate!"

Yun Xiao looked at it in surprise. He didn't expect that a shop selling pastries could be of such a large scale. And because it was close to the warehouse, the whole yard was full of a mouth-watering rich milk fragrance. Seeing her intoxicated look, Yun Shu covered her mouth and laughed, quickly cleared all the things on the table to the side, and then took out the desserts that had not been finished just now: "It's obvious that you are not full yet. Come on, I haven't left a piece and brought them all back. Keep eating, don't be hungry."

"I'm not very hungry..." Yun Xiao blushed and grabbed her head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly. Yun Shu's eyes kept looking at her up and down. There was a strange familiarity that made him particularly friendly to Yun Xiao. "The second brother told me about Dunhuang. They were going to come to the capital together to get along with me, but the third brother's legs were injured and his movements were inconvenient. He would have asked them to stay in the ruins of Yuezhi first and let the priests treat him well. You are much faster than I expected. You are worthy of being disciples from Kunlun Mountain. They came here with sword control, right?"

"Well, but in order not to attract attention, we put away the sword spirit from a distance and were not discovered." Yun Xiao nodded, and was restless by him. It was not until Xiao Qianye coughed hard that Yun Shu came to his senses and waved his hand and explained, "Don't be nervous. This time I rushed from Mobei to Chang'an to investigate the Demon Cult's actions. Unfortunately, there has been no progress in the past two months. I only know that the Saint Haggins has also come, but I can't find the trace of that guy. I was worried about what to do, but good news came from Dunhuang first. Now that the sect king is dead, Cui Xiuming has been captured alive, and the Uighur's trick has been strangled, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and want to go to the store to relax. I didn't expect to meet you so by chance."

Yun Xiao looked at the dark-skinned young man curiously. Although he was the eldest brother of the three, he had a cute baby face, and he stuffed the pastry into his mouth with his well-proportioned and strong figure. While eating, he greeted her: "Now the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and terrified, and those intrigues always have to pretend to pray every day. After receiving the message, I began to investigate the whereabouts of the Reincarnation Reveal. At present, that thing should not have flowed into the people, but I don't know how many people are addicted to the court, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can kill all the demon cults, I will not bother to care about the life and death of the remaining ministers."

Yun Xiao was stunned. Thinking of the erased history fifty years ago, he felt that the sadness in his heart was like a winding stream flowing by little by little. The faint, indescribable pain would come with heavy pressure like suffocation as if it was lifted slightly.

Yun Shu chewed the pastry and looked carelessly. The glimmer in his eyes flashed, and soon was covered up quietly. He smiled again: "But Reincarnation Dew still needs to continue to investigate. This kind of harmful thing cannot flow into the people. By the way, my second brother's letter said that this Reincarnation Dew is made of Persian rosemary and mixed medicines sold in Shanhaiji. I really heard from the owner of the dessert shop that they said that when they went to Guangzhou Port to purchase goods a few months ago, they met a group of merchants. They saw that they were in the pastry business and enthusiastically promoted a raw material to them. Fortunately, the thing was sold too expensive, and the group looked like a serious vendor. The couple thought about it for a long time but didn't buy it. But I was so glad that who knew if they were selling a drug!"

"Guangzhou Port?" Xiao Qianye was reminded by these three words, and suddenly remembered some things that Che mentioned to him the day before leaving. He said that some rich cities along the coast suddenly had a plague and was in a tendency to get worse. Even Kunlun Mountain has begun to arrange for disciples to go down the mountain to support. Guangzhou Port is the nearest coast between the Central Plains and Feiyuan, and runs through the three islands and ten continents. The caravans of Shanhai gathering suddenly appeared there. Could it be that they brought this sudden plague again?

Suddenly, Xiao Qianye rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but tsk his tongue. Yun Shu didn't pay attention to him. His eyes turned to Yun Xiao early in the morning. For some reason, he liked this girl more and more. While he enthusiastically introduced the dazzling array of pastries on the table, he complained regretfully: "Let's not talk about these messy things. Since our grandfather's generation, we have many sons. Finally, we have a little aunt, but our whereabouts are unknown and we have not been able to contact us yet. When my father is three sons, if we can have a little girl as beautiful as you, I will wake up in my dreams. Which kind do you like to eat? I'm very familiar with the boss here. Just eat me and I will pay."

Yun Xiao held the bag of pastries he bought with his eyes and patted his stomach: "Brother Yun, I'm full, this meal is enough for other girls to have three meals!"

"It's a good thing to be able to eat!" Yun Shu also smiled, frowned and looked at her simple and simple clothes. He rolled his eyes at Xiao Qianye and muttered, "Why are you wearing such old clothes? You look thin and thin, don't look very good. Are you often hungry?"

"No!" Yun Xiao waved his hand quickly, glanced at Xiao Qianye who was in a daze with a smirk, and said with jealousy, "I eat a lot, and he can't afford to raise it."

"Can't you afford it?" Yun Shu dragged his chin thinking and replied seriously, "Yes, he doesn't seem to be energetic at all. Are you almost incurable? Otherwise, you will go back to Mobei with me and have meat every meal."

"Bao, bah, bah, bah! What an incurable disease? Brother Yun doesn't want a crow's mouth. He is just injured. He is not dying!" Yun Xiao laughed loudly, and Xiao Qianye turned around expressionlessly. Yun Shu was originally a passionate and cheerful person. In fact, he could see the intimate relationship between the two long ago. It was just that he was uneasy and didn't know what was being distracted, so he deliberately joked. At this moment, it started to rain outside again. Yun Shu's eyes sank into the sky, frowned and stared at the sky, got up and closed the window.

Xiao Qianye and Yun Xiao exchanged their expressions tacitly, and immediately captured the abnormality in each other's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yun...what is that?"

Yun Shu was shocked and glanced at the crow flying in the low altitude through the cracks in the window. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after checking and closing the doors and windows. He asked, "Can you see what is flying in the sky? Don't look at them, that thing is very strange."

"Are you talking about those crows?" Xiao Qianye immediately responded, Yun Shu was slightly stunned and replied, "I can't see clearly what it is. I heard that it is called a crow. I can only feel that there are black things flying, which are indeed a bit like a crow."

"Brother Yun can't see clearly?" Yun Xiao followed him and said in surprise, "But I see that there are at least three or five hundred crows in the sky, and there are no sounds at all, so strange."

"Three or five hundred?" Yun Shu looked at her in amazement. Ten years ago, when he came to Chang'an to worship his ancestors, he felt something strange flying above his head. However, he could not see anything. Three years later, he came to Chang'an again and happened to meet a Taoist priest halfway through. He deliberately found an excuse to ask with him. The old Taoist priest proudly held his white beard and mysteriously told him that this was called a "crow" and was guarded by the capital. Only sorcerers who had learned magic can see it.

He looked at the sky curiously and asked how many crows were flying. The old Taoist squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and said guiltily that there were three. He saw the dodging between the old Taoist's eyebrows and eyes and knew that this guy was making a fool of himself. However, since he was the guardian of the capital, he was tactful and did not continue to ask. Three years have passed in a flash. In recent years, he took the opportunity of visiting the Wen family in Dunhuang to learn some magic from the Yue clan. Finally, when he came to Chang'an for the third time to worship his ancestors, he vaguely saw the black shadows, and passed through the streets of Chang'an City, covering the sky. There were no three in the mouth of the old Taoist, and it was almost the same as three hundred!

Later he also asked the owner of the dessert shop. Although they could not feel the existence of the crow at all, they smiled and told him calmly that they didn't have to worry, saying that it was a secret guard in the capital and was raised to protect the people.

He was confused. After all, this kind of thing that was flying all over the city from time to time was really uncomfortable, especially when he turned his eyes to them, he could clearly feel a sense of gloom and ruthlessness. His intuition told him that it was definitely not the legendary thing protecting Chang'an City. Thinking of this, Yun Shu's face showed a hint of worry and said in a low voice: "Those crows cannot be seen by ordinary people, so they need to have some magical foundation. And it is said that the stronger their spiritual power, the more they can see. The legend of the people is that they are the guardians of the capital. Anyway, they are not afraid of it if they cannot see it."

"The Guardian of the Capital?" Xiao Qianye took the conversation, recalling the moment he looked at each other before, and frowned, "Why do I feel more like some kind of spell used for surveillance?"

"I don't know this. I only know that the crow has not hurt anyone." Yun Shu smiled and sighed with emotion. "Some people say that crows are a sacred bird that brings good luck, and even legends have the power of prophecy, but some people think that they are an unknown and disaster-stricken bird. I don't believe in these things. The purpose of my trip is to pull out all the remaining demon cults hidden in the capital. I will kill as much as I have."

He stuffed a bite of pastry into his mouth. Although he was eating sweets, his eyes were sharp. Xiao Qianye thought for a moment and reminded: "I heard that the contactor of the Saint Child is code-named 'Dark Crow'. Is this a coincidence?"

"Uh... cough cough, cough cough!" Yun Shu choked, and hurriedly drank a few big mouthfuls of water and yelled, "What do you mean is this group of crows educated by demons?"
