Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Ting He thought for a while, temporarily put the matter of waiting for her aside and asked:

"Does the host know about this alien visitor?"

The old monk nodded kindly.

Ting Heze frowned and asked again:

"Then do you know that there is a person who fell from the sky?"

The old monk nodded again.

"I wonder if the abbot knows about the ruins of Loulan?"

"Yes, I am waiting for you just to tell you this. The female donor once entrusted me with something and asked me to give it to her descendants. I hope you are doing well since we parted at the Yan Mansion last time."

Now it was Ting He who was surprised. She asked doubtfully:

"Do you know Jinniang? Did she leave something behind? What did she leave behind? And how did you know about the ruins of Loulan?"

The abbot smiled and took out a small box from his sleeve, held it in front of Tinghe and said:

"Open it. There are things inside that the almswomen left for you."

Ting He frowned and took a step forward. He took the box in his hand and fumbled around. For a moment, he found it a little difficult to start. He took a deep breath before opening the box. There were two beads in the box, one big and one small.

Ting He picked up the bead and took a look at it. It was dull and similar to the yo-yo beads she had played with when she was a child. There was no pattern inside and it was almost completely transparent. However, one could still tell how precious it had once been, but now it had lost its luster.

Ting He stroking the beads, a sour emotion suddenly surged in her heart, and she asked:

"Does the abbot know how to use this bead?"

The old monk never frowned from beginning to end. He shook his head with a kind smile and said:

"I'm sorry I can't help you with this matter, but you can ask the friend in your mind for help. Maybe it knows how to help you."

Ting He took a breath and blurted out:

"Can you see him?"

The old monk laughed and said nothing.

Ting He stared at him for a long time, sparks flashing in her eyes. In the end, no one knew what she was thinking of. She pursed her lips and smiled, and said nothing more.

Instead, it communicates with the system:

"Didn't you say this is an ordinary world? Even an old monk can see you, how low-class are you? Can you hide yourself well and not let people know your existence all the time? Also, help me open these two beads and see what they are. From what the old monk said, these are things that Jinniang left for the original owner."

The system shrank back aggrievedly, trying to reduce its presence, and stammered:

"I am just the lowest-level system. This is my first time on a mission. I didn't mean to be discovered..."

Ting He couldn't bear to see the system being so wronged, so he consoled it:

"Okay, stop crying. I will try my best to make money for you to buy props so that you can earn commissions. When I have money, I will let you upgrade quickly and make you more and more powerful. Okay, stop thinking too much and open these two beads for me quickly."

The system was so moved that tears welled up in its eyes: "Well, host, you are so kind. I will help you open those two beads now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system used its own energy to open the two beads. The larger one actually flowed with dark energy and then quickly turned into fairy energy.

Tinghe's hand holding the bead began to tremble, and the small bead floated up and spun around her. The force was overbearing and powerful, and it rushed straight to Tinghe's head. The powerful impact caused Tinghe to spit out blood unexpectedly.

The old monk sat cross-legged on the spot, talking to himself. After he recited a few words, Tinghe's condition improved.

The small bead rotated for a while, and after transmitting the things stored in the bead to Ting He's mind, it became dim again, and then fell directly to the ground, motionless.

The larger bead was still spinning rapidly, sometimes emitting black mist and sometimes emitting a white glow.

Half an hour later, after Ting He finally spat out another mouthful of blood, the bead stopped spinning, and with a rustling sound, it fell to the ground as if it had lost energy, complementing the small bead.

Ting He opened her eyes. There was still that strange light in them. It took a long time for it to slowly dissipate. She sighed and smiled bitterly:

"So that's it."

She stood up and bowed to the old monk in a standard manner:

"Thank you very much, host. I am sorry for disturbing you for a long time. I will take my leave now. Thank you very much, host, for everything you have done for my mother."

The old monk then opened his eyes and said:

"I wish you success in this life and that all you wish for will come true."

Ting He bowed deeply to the old monk and said with a smile:

"Thank you for hosting. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, she picked up the two beads on the ground, put them back into the box, and teleported away from Luohan Temple again.

……

After returning to the house, Ting He lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a long time before saying with a wry smile:

"You can never imagine how crazy this world is. Jinniang left all her memories in the photo bead. You can never imagine that Jinniang actually lived five lives, and each life was very miserable. The original owner was the same. She didn't have a good ending in each life, and even caused the will of heaven to start five retracings, which led to this life we ​​are in."

The system blinked its confused eyes and said:

"So magical? I have never seen a world that can go back five times. It is really eye-opening. Host, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me more."

Ting He cursed with a smile, then returned to the topic:

"In fact, Jinniang's identity is not the same in each life. In her first life, she was a time traveler who was killed and eaten by others, and the world went back. In the second life, she became His Majesty's concubine and was finally burned to death. After she recovered her memory, she slaughtered the palace, and the world went back again. In the third life, she became a nun but was killed by a nun. After awakening her memory, she destroyed the world, and then the world went back. In the fourth life, she entered the palace and fell in love with His Majesty and gave birth to a child. The national teacher predicted that she would bring disaster to the world, and His Majesty ordered her and the child to be executed. Yan Jiuwen heard the news, saved her and the child, and hid the child, but the national teacher did not let her go. In the end, he killed her. Her body was not intact and she was eaten by others. Her blood was drained. The fifth life is this life. She also died early. In fact, it is not considered dead. It is the death of the body, but the soul has left the system and left this world and returned to where she came from."

Ting He continued:

"In every life, she treated others with sincerity, but she could not soothe the greed and selfishness in others' hearts. Repeated failures trapped her in this world. She tried various methods but failed. In the first two lives, she was plotted against by those people because of her specialness. In the third life, she sacrificed the entire world to refine the Pearl of Destruction. The Heavenly Dao took pity on her and left her a glimmer of hope. That ray of vitality was mixed into the Pearl of Destruction, and was buried and disappeared as the whole world collapsed. In the fourth life, she was eaten to death by everyone, who intended to rob her of the thing that gave her special power. After she died, she used the Pearl of Destruction from the third life to bury the ruins of Loulan, leaving those people in the place of sacrifice forever. But her resentment was too heavy, and the small world imprisoned her for five lifetimes, until the Heavenly Dao began to save itself, including letting you and me come to the world, and she left her body, leaving behind the memories of five lives and the Pearl of Destruction, and used her soul to break free from this world."

The system said puzzledly: "Host, I actually don't understand what you mean. After all you said, I can only know that Jinniang is indeed very miserable and never has a good ending, but it doesn't make it clear whose daughter the original owner is, and why those people treated her like that?"
