Buddha

In fact, Lu Chi had a glimpse of Xie Lannan's true temperament a long time ago.

At that time, Lu Chi was chasing a flower picker from Beiwu all the way to Chang'an in the east.It's the time when flowers are flying in March in Chang'an, and the branches of every household are dotted with a touch of bright and soft red.Lu Chi pretended to be a rich man in brocade clothes and a jade belt, holding a folding fan in his hand, his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and he had an incomparably coquettish posture.Xie Lannan followed behind him, with his head down, and his clothes were dusty and inconspicuous, like a servant.

What they were going to was Lanjun Tower, the largest brothel in Chang'an City.

Originally, Lu Chi would never bring Xie Lannan to this kind of place, but when this kid heard that Lu Chi would not bring him but went to Lanjun Tower alone, his expression turned cold instantly.Xie Lannan said stubbornly: "If Master doesn't take me there, I can go and catch the flower picker myself, it doesn't make any difference."

How could he let Lu Chi go to that kind of place alone, he would go crazy.

Lu Chi heard that he was about to beat him up, Xie Lannan was like a wooden stick, sticking there, not dodging, he finally put down his hand, not willing to beat him.Lu Chi had never been able to persuade Xie Lannan, so he could only tell him not to look at what he shouldn't look at, or listen to what he shouldn't listen to before he went, it would hurt his health.

After Xie Lannan changed the boy's clothes, he heard Lu Chi talking to him uneasy, and replied in a low voice.

"Master, I'm sixteen." At sixteen, it's the year of dancing elephants, and in an ordinary family, it's time to say goodbye.

Lu Chi slapped Xie Lannan on the head: "It doesn't work even if you are sixteen."

Two peach blossom trees were planted next to the Lanjun Tower, and at this time of year, they bloomed scorchingly and enchantingly.When Lu Chi took Xie Lannan into the door, the girl upstairs in Lanjun leaned on the railing and smiled coquettishly, calling out to you young master in a soft voice.Lu Chi raised his head, with a smile on his face, his peach eyes were more beautiful than the flowers in this tree, he tapped his lips with the paper fan, and then pointed the paper fan at the girl leaning on the railing.A fan made of jade bones. Lu Chi's hand rests on the fan handle. The joints are distinct. Compared with the fan handle made of jade bones, his hand is a bit whiter, and even the slightly curved arc has a cold white brilliance. .

The girl blushed pretty when provoked by Lu Chi's actions, and said in a coquettish voice.

When Xie Lannan followed Lu Chi in, she raised her head and glanced at the woman. She was still involuntarily looking at Lu Chi's back, covering her lips with a champagne, with a hint of affection hanging from her brows.Xie Lannan caressed the dagger hidden in his sleeve, the rotten flower in his heart was full of blood, stretched out, he lowered his eyes, and a voice whispered to him:

kill her.

Lu Chi hired a young lady, with white clothes and black hair, who should have a handsome appearance, but there is always a little shyness between his brows.Lu Chi asked her to play the piano behind the screen in the room. After Qing Guan finished playing, Lu Chi fiddled with the clear liquid in the cup, intentionally or unintentionally asking her about the recent guests of Lanjun Building.

He got the news that the notorious flower picker was hiding here.

Qing Guan is still young, even though he is in this place leaning on the door and selling laughter, he is not contaminated with much worldliness.Whatever Lu Chi asked, he answered obediently, very obedient.

After hearing Qingguan's words, Lu Chi felt a little concerned.He gave her a piece of silver, and reasoned that he had drunk too much and wanted to rest by himself, and asked her to go out without disturbing her.Qing Guan didn't ask any questions, and obediently opened the door and went out.

Lu Chi sat back, he didn't look like he was half lying down just now, but his back was straight, which was the attitude of a martial artist when he was on guard.But there are crisp red gauze curtains floating here, and sweet sandalwood burning in the incense burner. It is a gentle town that makes heroes indulge. Xie Lannan's eyes are glued to Lu Chi's half-open neckline. The skin inside has not seen the sun for a long time. Jade-like white.

At this moment, he really wants to lick and bite on it, and suck it hard to create a bright red color. If Leng Yu adds red, it will definitely look better.

"Master." He sat next to Lu Chi, took the wine glass that Lu Chi had just drunk, and played it carefully in the palm of his hand, "Do you have a clue?"

Lu Chi raised his eyebrows, and his peach blossom eyes were bright: "Of course, there are thieves that your master can't catch?"

Xie Lannan smiled and said softly, "Of course Master is the most powerful."

His gaze was on the small silver wine glass in his hand, as if he really wanted to taste the contents of the glass.The half-opened screen window brought in the wandering wind outside the house, blowing the light red veil in the house to shake like drunkenness.Under the reflection of the deep and shallow red gauze in the room, Xie Lannan's face was also slightly red.He finally found something, and lightly stamped his lips on the mouth of the cup, covering the mark that Lu Chi had left.

Lu Chi was thinking about how to catch the flower picker when he glanced casually and saw Xie Lannan drinking with downcast eyes.His eyelids were half-closed, and his expression was as tender as kissing a lover's lips.

The wine glass in his hand was just drunk by Lu Chi.

At this moment, Xie Lannan looked like he was kissing him.

Xie Lannan only felt that his heart was trembling and his blood was boiling. He thought about it for too long, thinking that as long as he came into contact with the things he touched, he would cry with joy.

In just a split second, Lu Chi took away his wine glass. After the silver wine glass was dropped, Xie Lannan's expression became fierce in an instant, like a vicious hungry wolf.He raised his eyes and saw Lu Chi, and the stern eyes suddenly softened and turned into a puddle of water.Xie Lannan softly called Master, her cheeks were more colorful than the red gauze hanging in the room.

"Drunk?" Lu Chi was a little puzzled, but soon relieved.His little apprentice had never drunk alcohol, and it was understandable for him to get drunk when he drank.

Xie Lannan watched Lu Chi's lips open and close in front of his eyes, the color on his lips was redder than Chang'an's peach blossoms.

The taste on it must be more intoxicating than wine.

Possess him, he thought.

In the middle of the night, lanterns were hung outside the Lanjun Building, embellishing this gentle and beautiful town even more blurred.Lu Chi changed into night clothes, and led Xie Lannan to lurk on the treetops outside the door.This is an independent courtyard, located in the Lanjun Building.There was faint laughter from the cracks in the window, as well as the sobbing and panting between men and women.

Lu Chi turned his head and signaled Xie Lannan to cover his ears and stop listening to the dirty voice.

The voice in the room gradually died down, Lu Chi gestured, and then quickly broke into the door.The Flower Picker Thief was extremely experienced, even in the most relaxed state of ordinary people, he could quickly suppress his panic and drew his sword to fight Lu Chi.

His martial arts are not weak, under normal circumstances Lu Chi would have a hard time fighting with him, otherwise he wouldn't have enjoyed so many years in the arena.Lu Chi knew in his heart that only a quick fight could bring him down.Thinking of this, the sword in Lu Chi's hand became even sharper.

At this time, Xie Lannan quietly appeared behind the flower picker.He learned the lightness kung fu very well, and he came in quietly, if Lu Chi hadn't happened to see him, he would never have noticed that there was another person in the room.

He held a dagger no bigger than an adult's palm, and his expression was extremely calm, not at all like he was facing a vicious flower picker.Xie Lannan looked for the gap in his moves, and hit his heart from behind with one blow.

Warm blood sprayed out, splashing Xie Lannan's face.

This was the first time he had killed someone, but he didn't feel any fear at all, only excitement.

He wanted more, more blood to fill the restlessness in his heart.

Xie Lannan drew out the dagger, and stabbed it hard in his chest again, another cluster of blood came out.He wiped the blood from his face, but his hands were already full of blood. With such a wipe, that extremely beautiful face became an evil ghost Rakshasa who climbed up from the endless hell, extremely terrifying.

He moved the dagger to the flower picker's neck, and even wanted to cut off his head.

Seeing Xie Lannan like this, Lu Chi felt a strange feeling in his heart. The little apprentice in front of him made him feel a little strange.Lu Chi held his hand and looked at Xie Lannan with quiet eyes. The bloodthirsty impulse in his heart calmed down instantly, and he temporarily surrendered under the calm surface.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Lu Chi said, "He's already dead."

"I know, I'm just—" Xie Lannan clenched Lu Chi's hand tightly, and smiled lightly, like a mandala growing out of a sea of ​​blood, "I'm just too angry that such a wicked person can be so easily died."

"Also, I've heard that some people's hearts deviate two or three inches from the normal position. Just in case, it's better to be cautious." After he finished speaking with reason, he suddenly caught sight of Lu Chi and Lu Chi from the corner of his eye. In the hands he clasped, Lu Chi's clean and white fingers were stained with blood, which looked very dazzling.

"It's dirty." Xie Lannan murmured, grabbing his sleeve and desperately wiping it for Lu Chi.But the more he wiped, the more dirty blood stains became.

"Forget it." Lu Chi withdrew his hand and dragged the corpse on the ground, "Just go back and wash it, let's tidy up here quickly, so as not to alarm others."

Xie Lannan was still clutching his sleeves, looking at the corpse on Lu Chi's back, the blood staining his face and neck, he suddenly felt that his master looked extremely beautiful like this.

Just like him.

When Lu Chi left Chang'an, he heard that there was a fire in Lanjun Building, which burned down most of the building, and burned to death a girl in Lanjun Building.It's just that at that time, he was only concerned about returning to his command as soon as possible, he only sighed in doubt for a moment, and left Chang'an in a hurry.Looking back now, I feel that Xie Lannan's state that night was very strange.However, it is meaningless to delve deeper into these old things.

Besides, now, he also lost his memory.

Lu Chi never thought that one day what Xie Lannan said would come true to himself.He said that the human heart sometimes grows a little bit longer, but Xie Lannan's heart is just a few inches to the right.So at that time, Lu Chi only stabbed Xie Lannan seriously, but did not kill him.

After waking up, Xie Lannan turned into a completely different Xie Lannan.

It was only early spring, and the elm tree in front of the house had sprouted, and it was so green and tender that it was very lovely.Lu Chi picked half of the bud, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, only to feel that it was extremely bitter, but he didn't spit it out, he just swallowed it.The bamboo door is half-closed, the sunlight can only shine in obliquely, and the scene inside the house can only be vaguely seen.

Lu Chi opened the door and went in. Xie Lannan was sitting in the back room, wearing a light gray robe, looking at the scenery outside the window with his head sideways.Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, he turned his head, a faint smile appeared on his pale face.

"Brother Lu." He said the title distantly, his brows were calm and calm, and there was no trace of his past flamboyance at all.

Lu Chi put down the medicine he bought, and turned to him, "You haven't healed yet, so don't sit in the air."

Xie Lannan sat back and closed the window, "It's okay, I just sat for a while and wanted to see the scenery outside."

His eyelids drooped slightly, hiding the loneliness between his brows.

Lu Chi paused while packing up the herbs, and then said casually, "When the weather is fine, I can take you outside for a walk."

Xie Lannan slightly raised the corners of her lips, and thanked her.

They lived in a remote rural area in Beiwu. Since Xie Lannan suddenly woke up in the mountain temple and lost all his memories that day, Lu Chi brought him here, and he had no energy to go to him anymore. His apprentice had a sword stabbed in his heart.

That takes a lot of courage and determination.

The weather in the afternoon was fine, the sky was bright and clear, and the sun was warm. Lu Chi pushed Xie Lannan out. His injury had healed a lot and he could walk on the ground. However, Xie Lannan still sat in a wheelchair to prevent the wound from opening.From a distance, you can see the rolling Qingdai mountains and the farmers working in the fields.

Xie Lannan suddenly lowered his head and took a breath. Lu Chi put down his hand holding the wheelchair and looked at the clothes on Xie Lannan's chest. They were still as white as snow and spotless.

Lu Chi asked, "Is the wound open?"

He shook his head: "No, I just feel a tingling pain in my chest, which I often have these days, and it's okay."

Hearing this, Lu Chi frowned: "Why didn't you tell me, or——you don't believe me."

Xie Lannan became anxious and wanted to touch Lu Chi's hand, but he stretched it halfway, then retracted it restrainedly.

"Brother Lu was joking, without Brother Lu, I'm afraid Xie Lannan's bones would have been cold."

"That's not certain, after all—" Lu Chi lowered his voice and glanced at Xie Lannan, "I stabbed you in the heart."

Lu Chi's eyelashes drooped down, leaving a small shadow under his eyes. Looking closely, the eyelashes seemed to be still trembling slightly, like a butterfly resting on a branch eager to spread its wings.Xie Lannan's fingertips moved, he slowly evoked a smile, and pointed to the place where the white gauze was still wrapped: "Tell me here, you are a very important person."

"Even if you hurt me, I think I was willing at that time."

Lu Chi was silent for a long time, then straightened up, put his hand on his head lightly, and sighed.

Since Xie Lannan was able to walk two steps down the ground, she often went to the courtyard to watch Lu Chi practice his sword.In the evening of that day, the large clouds on the mountainside were dyed orange by the smoky sunset. Lu Chi retracted his sword and saw Xie Lannan watching him practice sword quietly, with a faintly beating look in his eyes, but It was quickly taken away by him.

Lu Chi hesitated for a while before making up his mind and asking, "Do you want to practice martial arts?"

He started to teach Xie Lannan how to practice martial arts again, step by step, starting from the basics.Perhaps because of his previous foundation, Xie Lannan learned quickly, and he was able to use a complete set of sword skills in a short time.

When retracting the sword, Xie Lannan switched the sword from his right hand to his left, flipped his wrist, and pulled out a complicated sword flower before putting the sword back into its sheath.

"Master." He smiled and looked at Lu Chi.Since Lu Chi taught him how to practice martial arts, Xie Lannan changed the title of Lu Chi from Brother Lu to Master.

Lu Chi seemed to have lost his mind. He looked at Xie Lannan's hand fixedly, and after a long, long time, he closed his eyes as if burned by the sun.

"Master?" Xie Lannan called again, and he walked in front of Lu Chi, the shade of the elm tree fell on him, half wrapped in the shadow, half in the afterglow of the setting sun.The fundus of his eyes was clear, without any haze, but the end of his eyes seemed to be lifted up, bringing out the light of the setting sun with a bit of glamorous taste.

Lu Chi opened his eyes, looking at Xie Lannan with those intoxicating peach blossom eyes, and then responded very lightly.
