Chapter 042: We're All There

After the carriage got on the official road, the drive was much smoother. The car followed the route plotted on the map in a straight line. According to Ye Yu's estimate, if nothing else, he would arrive in Chang'an City in three days. Thinking that he would return to Chang'an City again, Ye Yu had an indescribable feeling in his heart, excited and worried. This feeling made Ye Yu's heart restless, so he simply didn't think about it.

The journey is long, and the carriage sits for a long time, which makes people physically exhausted. But fortunately, before leaving, Ye Yu spread a blanket in the trunk, which made this difficult journey much more comfortable.

Ye Yu, who hadn't slept for a while, felt that the road was gradually stabilizing, so he leaned against the car window and soon fell asleep groggily. After some time, the carriage suddenly and slowly stopped. Ye Yu thought something was wrong, so he suddenly opened his eyes and looked out of the car window, it turned out that he had arrived at a post station.

"Brother Yu, are you awake?let's get out of the car and eat something!!The fat man is hungry!": With that, Shen Yingxuan picked up Ye Yu and walked out of the car.

Ye Yu glanced up at the sun in the sky, and estimated that it was about five o'clock at the end of the day, and his stomach was indeed a little hungry.

He nodded in agreement, beckoning the fat man to park the carriage, and the three of them walked towards the post station. Under the beckoning of the shopkeeper, the three of them took a short rest, and then continued to drive quickly along the route marked on the map.

........................

Along the way, except for eating and resting at night, it was safe and sound. It wasn't until the evening of the next day that the official road was closed, and the three of them decided to continue their journey towards the path. Follow the signs on the map and head towards a desolate lot.

The further you go, the more desolate the road becomes, and the road becomes more and more uneven, so you have to slow down and drive slowly.

Ye Yu's heart began to become restless, so he spoke: "Xuanxuan, how far are we from the Chang'an plotted on the map now?"

"Brother Yu, if nothing goes wrong, we should be able to rush to the vicinity of Chang'an City before dark. Shen Yingxuan said to Ye Yu.

"Brother Yu, have you really decided to go to the Nine Capital Demon City?": Shen Yingxuan, who was sitting next to Ye Yu, asked.

"It's decided, I have to go, the master once sacrificed his life to save me, I just took this life, and I definitely can't let him go. Ye Yu nodded and said firmly.

"It's okay! I just asked casually. In fact, Brother Yu, let's not imagine that the Nine Capital Demon City is so terrifying. Shen Yingxuan's expression suddenly changed, and she said with a smile.

"Well, with you and the fat man by my side, I have nothing to fear. Ye Yu also said with a smile.

"Well, with you, even if I go to the eighteenth layer of hell, I'm not afraid. Shen Yingxuan said, and snuggled into Ye Yu's arms.

Ye Yu hugged Shen Yingxuan who was lying in his arms tightly, thinking of going to the Nine Capital Demon City this time, he was actually extremely worried in his heart. But when I thought of being able to have Shen Yingxuan and the fat man by my side, I was inexplicably a little more happy in my heart, and I seemed to have a little bit of expectation.

Shen Yingxuan lay in Ye Yu's arms, and after being silent for a while, she then said to Ye Yu:

"Brother Yu, do you remember that Hetuluo book?"

"Remember, that's what we got in that book, the information about the Nine Capital Demon City!what's wrong?": Ye Yu said.

"That night, I found out the origin of Hetuluoshu again, and I forgot to tell you!": Shen Yingxuan said.

"The origin of the Hetuluo book?Isn't that an ordinary book?": Ye Yu asked.

"Of course not! Not only is it not ordinary, but its origin is also extremely mysterious. Legend has it that during the time of Emperor Fuxi, auspicious Rui was prosperous, and God bestowed divine objects. There is a kind of dragon back horse body of the divine beast, born with wings, eight feet five inches high, body batch dragon scales, Ling Bo treads water, such as walking on the ground, carrying the divine map, from the Yellow River into the Luo River. Seeing this, Emperor Fuxi rubbed out the river map according to the divine map on the dragon horse divine beast. There is also a divine turtle negative divine book from the Luo River. Emperor Fuxi also depicted Luoshu. This is the legend of "the river produces a map, Luo produces a book, and the sage makes it". Later, in the period of the Yellow Emperor, it rained heavily for seven days and seven nights, causing the Luoshui to skyrocket, and the Yellow Emperor could not think of a good solution, so he ordered people to kill five animals, sacrifice to the Emperor of Heaven, and personally knelt down to ask the Emperor for help. Sure enough, soon the heavy rain subsided and the people were rescued. But on the bank of the receding Luoshui, the "River Tuluo Book" was found, and the emperor relied on this book to govern the country and the country. Shen Yingxuan leaned on Ye Yu's arms and told in a colorful voice.

"But these legends are different from the Hetuluo books we see?" : Ye Yu replied.

"Maybe we didn't grasp the mystery, but I brought that book! Shen Yingxuan said, took out the "Hetuluo Book" from the package she was carrying, handed it to Ye Yu and said.

Ye Yu took the "Hetu Luo Book" and couldn't help but kiss Shen Yingxuan's cheek lightly and said, "Xuanxuan, you are really too careful!"

Shen Yingxuan's cheeks turned red as soon as she could, and she punched Ye Yu shyly and said, "Hmph, you are so bad, you are only allowed to despise you, and you are not allowed to kiss me, ignore you!" After speaking, he fell into Ye Yu's arms and stopped talking!

At this time, the fat man who had been driving in front heard the conversation between Ye Yu and Shen Yingxuan, and asked through the carriage:

"Big brother, what are you talking about with the eldest lady?"

"It's nothing, fat man, you concentrate on driving your car, this road is too narrow, you should be careful. Ye Yu instructed the fat man.

The fat man scratched his head in embarrassment, and agreed with a smile: "Oh!"

At this time, Shen Yingxuan, who was in Ye Yu's arms, raised her head, looked at Ye Yu and said, "You are not allowed to bully the fat man!

"I didn't! Why did I bully him! I was kind enough to remind him! Is it right for you to ask the fat man!": Ye Yu said aggrievedly.

At this time, the fat man was driving the carriage intently outside, and did not respond to him.

"Hmph! Look! The fat man doesn't bother to pay attention to you! I don't pay attention to you anymore! I want to take a break. Shen Yingxuan said and covered herself with a blanket, fell asleep on the side.

Ye Yu was bored with himself, so he picked up the Hetuluo book and flipped through it.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker and darker, and the carriage was driving at a constant speed on this uneven road, and the three of them did not speak again, the surrounding atmosphere became quieter, and Ye Yu faintly heard the cries of crows around him.

When Ye Yu heard the crow of a crow, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, how could there be a crow in such a desolate place?

Thinking about it, he opened the curtain and looked outside, and sure enough, on some dead trees on both sides of the road, there were black dots, looking at Ye Yu and their carriage.

And the black dots are black crows. No, to be precise, it is a strange bird that appears at the foot of Mt. Onirido.

There was only one before, but this time, it was as if it had broken into their lair. They gathered in piles one by one, and their voices wailed one after another. It seemed to be a warning to Ye Yu and other outsiders, and it seemed that because of their intrusion, these strange birds were excited.

Ye Yu remembered that according to Qingming's introduction, this thing was similar to the crow's temperament. When the crow eats carrion, it will always scream excitedly. And these strange birds, now screaming so excitedly in the face of the three of them, could it be that they are not able to treat them as food for their stomachs?

When Ye Yu thought of this, he felt a chill from his back, and his entire back was cold.

"Brother Yu, why are there so many crows outside, their cries are really ugly. Shen Yingxuan should have been woken up by those birds at this time, and sat up with her ears covered and said to Ye Yu.

"I'm afraid those aren't ordinary crows": Ye Yu turned back to Shen Yingxuan and said.

"Not a crow? : Shen Yingxuan asked.

"It's too late to explain now! I'll explain it to you slowly when we reach Chang'an City safely. Ye Yu said to Shen Yingxuan while staring vigilantly outside.

Shen Yingxuan nodded, and also lifted the curtain to look outside.

"Fatty, hurry up and come in first, and let the carriage go on its own. Ye Yu said to the fat man outside at this time.

"Okay. The fat man agreed, and opened the curtain in front of the carriage and came in.

After the fat man came in, Ye Yu tightened the curtains around him. At this moment, the voices of those birds suddenly became inaudible. But Ye Yu faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he couldn't say what was wrong, but he always had a very uneasy feeling in his heart.

Since ancient times, both crows and birds have been considered ominous birds, and this time they have not yet reached the Nine Capital Demon City, and they have encountered so many birds staring at them.

I'm afraid it's not good to be a teacher!

"Brother Yu, what's wrong with you? I see that your eyes have been straightening, are you worried about something?": Shen Yingxuan saw that Ye Yu was a little abnormal, so she asked.

"No, nothing...": Ye Yu prevaricated Shen Yingxuan, he didn't want to make Shen Yingxuan and the fat man too worried and scared in this situation. Then he changed his tone and asked:

"At this rate, how long will it take? How do I feel like it's getting bumpy?"

Shen Yingxuan glanced at the map in her hand, lowered her head and muttered for a while before saying, "Soon, we will be able to enter Chang'an City in one hour at most!"

"That's good!": Ye Yu said on his lips, but his palms were full of beads of sweat, and only he knew in his heart how terrible those legendary birds were. If such a large number of them were attacked, he really didn't have the confidence to be able to protect Shen Yingxuan and the fat man, he was unconsciously thinking, is it really right to take them with him this time? Even when facing the dragon and the ghost king, he had never been so nervous and apprehensive as he was today. Because he knew that at that time he had a master to protect himself, and today he is protecting others.

This may be growth! One day, you have to stand in front of yourself to withstand everything. Until you no longer feel scared and worried, you are truly mature, until you will be able to face any powerful enemies and pressures alone, you will be truly strong.

In the face of any difficulties, you can no longer cry and run away like a child. Able to solve any problem on their own. No longer asking for help from others is to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

Everyone has to go through painful trials and learn to grow. It exercises our willpower, endurance, endurance and makes us stronger.

Everyone has to experience wind and waves, there will always be wind and rain to accompany you for decades in life, walk into the wind and rain, only to know how much spring is a little, people always have to learn to grow up by themselves.

Ye Yu felt calm when he thought of this, no matter what, this decision had already been made! Even if he died, he had to complete this mission, successfully save the master, and protect Shen Yingxuan and the fat man.

At this time, Shen Yingxuan, who had been silent for a long time, saw Ye Yu's nervousness, so she gently held his hand and said:

"Brother Yu, it's okay, we're all here. ”

Ye Yu felt the soft touch in his hand, and looked up at Shen Yingxuan's beautiful cheeks and the fat man's honest smile. I felt a warm power rise from the dantian.

Yes, there are people you care about the most along the way, and you will never leave to accompany you. He grinned and responded:

"It's okay!"
