"What kind of box is this, why can't it be opened, and there is no lock, it's really strange..."Bai Yujing sat in the carriage, looking at the box full of doubts.

The day before yesterday, Bai Yujing and Yan Xiao tinkered with the box for an afternoon, and after almost trying to break their brains, the two children finally got up, and they didn't worry about whether they would damage the treasures inside, so they found an iron hammer and smashed it hard, but what made the two of them dumbfounded was that the box was fine at all, and the hammer bounced off and almost flew out... Later, I thought of burning it with fire, but it was useless, I couldn't light it! I tried a lot of methods I could think of, but I still couldn't open it, so Yan Xiao threw it directly to Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing lifted the curtain of the carriage, and at this time he was leaving Yancheng in a carriage, looking at the backward woods, he was now leaving the home where he was born and raised, where his parents and sister were located. My heart is sad and a little empty.

Bai Yujing looked outside, almost except for the woods and grass, like a deserted place.

After a long time, the carriage came to a halt where it had gone. A guard came over and asked Bai Yujing to get out of the carriage, saying that it was almost noon, and the master ordered everyone to rest on the spot and eat some dry food prepared on the road.

...

"Xiaobai, how do you feel, I'm about to be shaken out..."Yan Xiao rubbed his little head.

Fortunately, although Yan and his wife spoiled Yan Xiao in every way, they had never lacked physical exercise, and even Bai Yujing followed suit.

"Young master, I'm also a little dizzy..."Bai Yujing's face turned a little pale. People who have never traveled long distances in a horse-drawn carriage on mountain roads are like shaking a hairpin, dizzy, and their stomachs are tumbling.

"Well, it's actually pretty good weather, and there are wildflower-scented woods on both sides of the road to shade you. When you wait until the back, it's terrible, the road doesn't even have grass, it's loess everywhere, and the sky is full of dust..."Yan Xiao sighed and looked dry.

"Ah, there is such a bad road, then young master, do you remember how many days you took the carriage to Yanxian..."Bai Yujing was a little surprised, he had never been far away since he was a child, and the outside of his house was basically wet fields, as well as rivers around the mountains, and there were really few places where grass and trees did not grow in the wild.

"I've been in the carriage for about fifteen days..."Yan Xiao remembered the last time, and his little face turned pale.

Two years ago, he came to Yanxian from Chang'an City, but he was dizzy for half the way, vomited half the way, and his mind was full of terrible memories!

"It's been so long, it's not very far..."Bai Yujing was full of worry after hearing this, the fifteen-day journey was too far, and he didn't know if he would vomit all the way.

"Xiaobai, have you opened that wooden box..."Yan Xiao suddenly remembered.

"No, in the carriage, young master, take it back and try to open it again..."Bai Yujing pointed to the carriage he was sitting in, and he felt that he couldn't open it.

"No, I've been trying for so long, I don't want to try it, I'll give it to you..." Yan Xiao was depressed when he said it, the wooden box was taken out by him in the treasure house with his father, and his father didn't care when he saw it, just a treasure box, there are a lot of them in the library, it is estimated to be a little beautiful, Yan Xiao likes it, but there is nothing unusual.

"Okay, then I'll take it, thank you, young master..."Bai Yujing doesn't care about what kind of treasure box it is, although the wooden box looks very beautiful, but he can't open it, he doesn't know what's inside, he only knows that this wooden box is very strong, the hammer can't be broken, the fire is useless, it's a bit of a fire and water invulnerable, since the young master sent it, then keep it.

Half an hour later, the convoy was ready to move forward again. Bai Yujing looked at the four carriages, the largest one belonged to the head of the family, Yan and his wife, and one was the old housekeeper Zhou, and the other one was Bai Yujing and Yan Xiao were sitting, but Mrs. Yan often called Yan Xiao together. The last one is a spare one in case of some mishaps on the road.

The number of people in the entire convoy, in addition to the family of three of the head of the family, two of the head of the family's personal entourage, as well as Zhou Lao Butler and Bai Yujing, as well as eighteen guards with soldiers and armor, four driving, and fourteen guards on horseback to guard the circumference, a mighty group of twenty-five people.

After a long time, Bai Yujing sat in the carriage and was bored, and the wheels of the carriage were rattling, shaking his head. He was bored and picked up the wooden box in the carriage and pulled it left and right. Looking at this immovable treasure box, his hands were also tired, so he threw them aside and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage consisted of twenty-five people, stopping during the day to eat and rest, and finding a place to rest and recuperate at night. As soon as the morning dawned, he continued on his way.

...

"What kind of place is this, why doesn't there be an inch of grass, and there is no mud and sand on the ground, even if it is mud and sand, there will be grass growing..."Bai Yujing looked at the environment in front of him, very puzzled, obviously the place where he was standing was overgrown with trees, and took a step forward, looking at the past, a piece of red land did not grow an inch of grass.

"I heard from my father that there was a disaster here, and then all the surrounding woods and grass withered and died, and even the animals no longer came near here, I don't know what it is, my father didn't tell me..."

After a night's rest, early in the morning, Master Yan was rarely serious, and today he had to pass through this terracotta for thousands of miles. Luckily, I didn't pass through the whole red field, but just passed by the side, and the speed was a little faster, and I could pass through here in a day.

After a long day, the convoy finally passed through this place where there was no grass on the way, and there were no accidents on the way, which made everyone feel relaxed.

Master Yan also felt lucky, if it wasn't for the trip too far back, everyone was already very tired of the trip, and he didn't want to take risks, passing through this red land, the trip could be accelerated by three or four days.

At night, it is estimated that Yan Xiao was also curious, so he ran to ask his parents, and when he came back, he told Bai Yujing about it.

I heard that this piece of red land is all caused by a monster hiding underground. It is said to be a dry kui, and the ancestors of the human race have seen it fall from the sky and escape into the ground, and it will not be long before it becomes a barren land.

After Bai Yujing heard this, he was very shocked in his heart, such a large place, just because there was a dry kui, it became a barren land, and he didn't know what that dry kui looked like...

The cycle repeatedly, rushing at dawn, resting at dark.

Bai Yujing has been in the car for ten days, this is the first time he has gone far away, he believes that his parents must not have traveled so far, and he does not know how his parents and sister are now.

Bai Yujing thought about his parents in the carriage for a while, and then thought of what Yan Xiao said to him, and he was also very curious about these magical things. He found a yellowed book from his bag, which was the "Record of Experiences" that Uncle Zhang gave him at the beginning. It talks about the wonders of this world, and with his amazing memory, he soon turned to the page of Dry Kui.
