Chapter 18: I Wish to Dive and Return

barian" style. His left hand wielded a pen-shaped staff to smash open enemy weapons, while his right hand held the Dragon Spear of Mixed Iron, sweeping through with the wind and thunder. 。Zhou Dewei...Hearing this explosive news, Ye Youxiao's excited heart was about to jump out. Xingzhen Guan! Ah ah, Xingzhen Guan, you damn, adorable Xingzhen Guan! If it weren't for you, would I be in such a miserable and dangerous situation! And thankfully, the Tang Dynasty has you, me, haha, I am Lin Neng! I'm going back!

I originally wanted to ask a fellow internet user to guide me, but Ye Youxiao also knows that the more people who know a secret, the less of a secret it becomes! If my journey through time is exposed, I'll be stuck here forever, living a miserable life and being treated like an inferior human! Just thinking about it is terrifying! It's something I can't accept! So, he decided to go alone.

Remember before crossing over, grandpa took him to Xinzhen Guan. They rode in a three-wheeled vehicle, it probably only took about twenty minutes. That means it was less than twenty miles. When he was younger and his physique was better, he estimated it would take half an hour or so to get there. Well, ancient roads certainly weren't as good as modern ones, but where there's a will, there's a way!

Suddenly, it was as if he saw his adoptive father and mother's concerned and kind eyes. Ye Youxiao couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart: "Is this really goodbye Isn't it too cold" When he had rashly crossed over to this world with no relatives, it was his elder sister who stepped forward to save him from those hooligans. It was his adoptive father and mother who gave him a warm home again. For their adopted son, they left the relatively safe Bianzhou and traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge with Lord Xue, almost becoming someone else's dinner!

Just escaped danger and then left without a word Isn't that a bit heartless

People can't be so heartless!

Ye Youxiao walked resolutely towards the inn, but he hadn't gone far when he suddenly remembered: how could he say goodbye to his family Should he just say that he was actually from another time and now needed to go back

A sarcastic look appeared on Ye Youxiao's face.

Absolutely not!

My stepfather wouldn't believe such outlandish claims. Mother would surely pat her forehead and say, "How can this child be so full of nonsense" My elder sister would then chime in, claiming he must have been possessed by a malevolent spirit. Mother would then hire someone to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil, and even tie my stepfather up to prevent him from moving an inch...

You'll never be able to travel back in time again!

Xingan Guan is still here, but tomorrow Ye's family will continue westward, gradually drifting farther and farther away. I no longer have any chance to end my time travel back to modern China!

Perhaps in another few decades, my elder sister will be married, and my foster parents will have passed away. Even if I could live to that time, would I not get married and have children How could I abandon my wife and children then

His hesitant steps circled again and again, Ye Youxiao's hesitation and uncertainty were written all over the dirt road of Bailuzhen. He finally realized that if he didn't go back now, he would forever be trapped in this chaotic world! Spending decades as a nobody during the Tang Dynasty, becoming a faceless lump of earth silently was his fate. This was Ye Youxiao at the end of the Tang Dynasty, perhaps before the Song Dynasty was even established, he had already been completely forgotten by the world.

Not content!

Taking one last longing look towards the inn, Ye Youxiao muttered to himself: "Foster father and foster mother, don't blame me for being ruthless! Treat me as a dream! I must go back in time, and I definitely can't say goodbye to you. When I return...

"

Ye Youxiao scratched his scalp, feeling helpless. Should he burn paper for them They were alive and well! Besides, there was no blood relation between them. Oh, this time travel had brought so many ethical dilemmas!

Suddenly, I thought of the ancestors of the Ye family from my nightmare. Were they really our ancestors It's even more unclear now. Fortunately, as long as I get to Xingzhen Temple, I can immediately travel back in time. Maybe grandpa is still sleeping! Go home tomorrow, see my parents, and then go back to school...

It brings back so many memories, I'm practically boiling with excitement. Alright, father-in-law and mother-in-law, it's been great knowing you! Farewell for now!

Tonight, there was a moon, and the moonlight cast a gentle glow on the ground. The gibbous moon hung in the west, and Ye Youxiao ran towards it with all his might. In ancient times, there wasn't much nightlife. After 9 p.m., even though it was considered "quiet," Ye Youxiao didn't encounter anyone during his run.

Thus, after half an hour of walking, Ye Youxiao stopped and looked around. The mountain under the moonlight should be Tianjieshan, right He still remembered that Xingzhen Guan was located on the hillside of Tianjieshan. But what the heck Where was the road What about the road to Xingzhen Guan

Suddenly, a thought popped into my head: Don't you want me anymore

Ye Youxiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, his scalp tingling. Was it that little ghost Didn't he leave a long time ago

Thought: I won't leave, and you are not allowed to leave either.

Ye Youxiao thought to himself, the little ghost must be worried that I crossed over.

Thought: Yes, you left, and with that, my body is gone. I am just a lonely ghost now.

"Ye Youxiao helplessly said: 'I'm not from this era to begin with, heaven has eyes and sent me back to where I belong. Isn't that normal'"

Thoughts are very stubborn: abnormal, just abnormal!

Ye Youxiao wants to cry but has no tears: people who travel through time are all wind, flowers, snow and moon, then they shake the world. I traveled through time and became a nobody's adopted son, not to mention that I am constantly possessed by little ghosts.

Thought: Don't wear it, don't put it on.

Ye Youxiao was a little angry: If I hadn't come here in time, this body would have been buried and rotten long ago. If I hadn't come here in time, would this body still exist!

With no new thoughts arising, Ye Youxiao felt a bit more at ease. It seemed he still had quite the debating skills. At least, convincing an ancient little spirit wasn't a problem. Thinking this, he ran even harder towards Tianshan Mountain.

But then another thought flashed through my mind: this isn't the way.

Ye Youxiao looked carefully ahead. There was still a field of wild land. However, he didn't believe the little ghost's words. The little ghost was young and had never been here before, so his words were completely useless as a reference.

But a thought crossed his mind: the little ghost hadn't bothered him lately, wouldn't it be out wandering around So...

Ye Youxiao hesitated, wondering whether to follow his intuition or the little ghost's advice. But the little ghost was against him going back in time; listening to him might lead him astray.

I had a thought: maybe the little ghost could come back with me. After all, it doesn't have much mass, so it wouldn't affect the speed of the travel.

Ye Youxiao was taken aback: "If this little ghost travels back in time with me, then I'd truly be haunted forever. No, no, in that world, I must remain pure and clean. Oh, right, it would be best to go to a temple or Taoist觀 and perform a ritual to ensure the little ghost stays far away from me. That's what true peace means."

Thoughts: Would it be too cruel After all, although the little ghost was bothering me, it didn't hurt me, and it never even played a prank on me.

Ye Youxiao knew that these thoughts were just little ghosts communicating with him. Suddenly, he remembered what his grandfather had said: when doing things, you must prioritize and only choose the right things to do. The most important thing for him now was to travel back in time. As long as he could accomplish this right thing of "traveling back," whether or not to bring the little ghosts along didn't really matter. Besides, he was just in his head, thinking about not bringing him along wouldn't expel him either, would it

Everything, all of it, is about going back in time. He won't be bothered by the little demons anymore; let them come or go as they please.

Thought: Of course he came. The little demon can't leave this body.

Ye Youxiao smiled wryly and shook his head. Following the little ghost's instructions, he had indeed stepped onto a small path. He thought to himself, "This little ghost really has some tricks up its sleeve."

Thought: The little demon is in my own head. Isn't scolding the little demon just like scolding myself

Shaking his head, Ye Youxiao decided to stop bothering the little ghost and strode towards the direction of Xinzhen Temple. The more he walked, the more grounded he felt: many of the scenery, though in the night, were places he must have seen before.

I had a thought: wasn't life before crossing over just the previous lifee to bring back the money." Looking at Ye Da's mother again, he said, "Youxiao will go and fetch the money, I'll wait at the shop in the countryside, and you two just stay at the residence."Ye Dalian...
