The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Before a person dies, he or she may really see some unexpected phenomena. Meng Ruyue felt that she saw the light, and that place might be heaven. Can she finally return to her previous world?

The drop of blood that fell on the dog-head stone slowly spread along the edges of the stone. No one could have imagined that such a small drop of blood would dye the entire stone red. The red color was so gorgeous, so dazzling, just like the rising sun, waiting to be dazzling and blazing as it slowly rises.

The red stone finally burst into a blinding light, illuminating the entire space so brightly that it was impossible to open one's eyes. If Meng Ruyue were awake at this moment, she would have thought that nuclear fusion had occurred and the world was about to disappear in this dazzling sight.

This bright light not only illuminated the space, but also wrapped Meng Ruyue in it, like a placenta protecting a baby, warm and moist. She fainted and couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but also like only a short while had passed. The light disappeared, and the entire space returned to its previous tranquility and peace, but this space seemed to have become different.

"Wake up, wake up quickly." A sticky voice made Meng Ruyue want to slap him away.

"It's so noisy, can't I get some sleep?"

"Wake up, it's time to get up." The soft voice lingered in her ears. Meng Ruyue had to force herself to open her heavy eyelids. A soft and cute glutinous rice dumpling came into her eyes, which made her lose all sleepiness and she sat up immediately.

"Ah, no, didn't I fall down beside the spiritual spring with internal injuries?" Meng Ruyue suddenly felt something was wrong. "Where is this? Am I dead? Are you an angel?"

"I am the spirit of this 'Lingxu Fantasy Land'. You awakened me, and I saved you." This child, who looked almost the same as Ruxue, spoke like a tongue twister, confusing Meng Ruyue, who had just woken up.

"Stop, speak human language. I ask questions and you answer them. Do you understand?" Ru Yue's incoherent speech confused the little girl.

"Where exactly is this?" Meng Ruyue could finally find someone to ask the question that had puzzled her since the first time she came in.

"This is a very long story. Are you sure you want to listen to it now?" Little Dumpling reminded her, "It's almost dark outside. Are you sure your family won't worry if you don't go home too late?"

Ru Yue glanced outside the space and saw that the wild boar was long gone. It was already dark. If she went out now, it would take dark to get home. Her younger brothers and sisters at home must be very worried.

"You go home first. You can come to see me anytime when you are free." Little Dumpling suggested.

Ru Yue didn't waste any more time, nodded, left the space, and ran down the mountain.

When I was almost at the foot of the mountain, I saw several figures walking towards me with torches. I vaguely heard a voice calling for my sister. No need to guess, it must be the two children from home who came to visit me.

"Anping, Ruxue, sister is back." She took out the bamboo basket and put it on her back while running, answering loudly, trying to give the two children some comfort with her voice.

When she got closer, she saw that Chu Ning'an was carrying Ruxue on his back, bringing Anping with him, and holding a torch to find her. A warm feeling welled up in her heart.

When Ruxue saw her, she quickly slid off Chu Ning'an's back, hugged her legs tightly, and burst into tears. Anping also pulled at her clothes and refused to let go. The two children were terrified.

"Why are you back so late?" Chu Ning'an asked worriedly, "The children are so worried."

Ru Yue squatted down, hugged her younger brother and sister-in-law tightly, and comforted them softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm sorry. I got lost in the mountains and came back late. I made you worry. I promise it won't happen again." If she could eliminate the two children's anxiety and fear at this moment, she would really be willing to exchange everything she had for it.

Chu Ning'an stood aside, speechless, quietly watching Meng Ruyue. That day, he had witnessed her cunning when she had deceived Zhou Dahu, her cruelty when she had warned him, and her tenderness when she treated her younger brother and sister-in-law... Which one was the real her? He was at a loss.

After venting for a long time, the child finally calmed down. The four of them prepared to go home. Chu Ning'an saw that she also looked tired and reached out to take her bamboo basket. "This bamboo basket is not light. You are injured, I will do it myself." Meng Ruyue explained calmly, "I thought that everyone in my family has suffered a lot of damage. I thought that since the trap has yielded some results, I would make soup for you tonight to nourish you. I didn't want to come back too late and the soup didn't cook. I also made you all work hard."

"By the way, is the hut built? Is the bed made?" She suddenly thought of the most important question.

"It's all taken care of, don't worry about it." Chu Ning'an replied, "Brother Erqiang was worried that the new wood would get damp, so he brought some old planks from home. Anping took his bedding and made it up."

"You can take my bedding over there later. It's too late today, so let's do this for now. Let's go to town tomorrow to buy some clothes and supplies. Let's see what we need and talk about it and we'll buy it together tomorrow."

After talking and walking along the way, they soon returned to the hut. Ru Yue was anxious to find the little dumpling in the space to find out the truth. She just ate a little, washed up, and asked everyone to go to bed.

Insects chirped in the summer night, and the smoky smell of mugwort lingered outside the thatched cottage. After tossing and turning all day, everyone fell asleep. Ru Yue opened her eyes, looked outside for a while, then looked at little Ru Xue beside her, and slipped into the space.

Ru Yue was stunned by the space in front of her. "Is this my space? Is it?" She rubbed her eyes, and the scenery in front of her remained the same. "Have I really come to the wrong place?"

"You are not wrong, master. This is your space." The little ball appeared beside Ru Yue and said with great certainty.

"What on earth is going on?" Ru Yue was completely confused.

"Master, come with me." The chubby little dumpling pulled Ru Yue's hand and walked towards the small wooden...house beside the spiritual spring. No, that wooden house has been upgraded and is now a small garden building with flowers and water.

Ru Yue's brains were clearly not working, and she let the little boy lead her on. It was strange; she had never been one to trust anyone, but she felt an inexplicable warmth towards this stranger, and she trusted him for no reason. Subconsciously, she felt that even if the world turned its back on her, he would remain loyal to her.

Approaching the cottage, Ru Yue narrowed her eyes, and saw lush trees, exotic flowers in full bloom, and lovely vines and strange grasses hanging down. As she walked, she could smell the strange fragrance. A clear stream meandered through the depths of the flowers and trees. After walking a few steps inside, she suddenly saw an exquisite palace with flying eaves and brackets, carved railings and jade bricks. Without looking inside, one could imagine the meticulous carvings inside. A winding path on the side led directly to a corridor on the water, and at the end was an octagonal glazed pavilion. The flying eaves were all tied with silver bells, which tinkled automatically without wind, making a pleasant sound.

Ru Yue secretly felt ashamed of herself, thinking she was such an uneducated and vulgar person. Even if she exhausted all her ink and paper, she still couldn't describe this breathtaking scenery! It was obvious that the person who built this world was truly a refined person who knew how to enjoy life!

"Master, please sit down." Before she knew it, Ru Yue had arrived at the pavilion.

"Where is this? Who are you?" Ru Yue and Xiao Tuanzi sat down beside the low table and couldn't wait to get to the bottom of it.

"Master, don't be impatient. Let me tell you in detail." The little dumpling said in his soft voice, "You must know about the story of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. I will tell you what happened afterwards -

Emperor Shennong was a man of great righteousness. After tasting hundreds of herbs, he realized that he alone could not cure the suffering of the world, so he wrote a book to teach both humans and gods the intricacies of medicine and pharmacy. The "Shennong Bencao Jing" of later generations is the essence of the book that has been passed down through the ages.

One day, the emperor had an idea. He thought that people were hunting fewer and fewer birds and fewer and fewer beasts, so medicinal herbs would become increasingly scarce, especially those that took years to grow. So he created this small world and transplanted all the poisonous and medicinal plants he had tasted into this small world.

It turns out that this is the eternal sacred land of herbs preserved by Shennong for people.

"That's not right. Isn't this the 'Lingxu Fantasy Land'?" Ru Yue suddenly thought of the message on the bamboo slips and asked.

"After the Great Emperor ascended to heaven, this small world was left behind in the cracks of time. Countless years passed before a demigod named Linghuan Fairy happened upon this small world and named it 'Lingxu Fantasy Realm'."

"So, I am also destined to be here?"

"Master is not the one destined to be in this Holy Land of Hundred Herbs. You are the key here, and this place belongs to you." Little Dumpling immediately corrected.

"What? I'm the key? Are you saying that I'm the key here and have cultivated into a spirit?" These words frightened Ru Yue so much that her three souls flew away and her seven spirits left her body.

"No." Little Dumpling immediately denied it, "You are a good person who has practiced for ten lifetimes. You are destined to be the master of this place."

"A good person who has practiced for ten lifetimes? Am I that great? Haha..." Ru Yue disagreed, "If I really was that good person, I wouldn't have come here. How much evil must I have done that ten lifetimes of practice couldn't prevent me from becoming a short-lived ghost in my previous life." Ru Yue was still brooding over the time travel.

"You are a good person who has cultivated for ten lifetimes." Little Tuanzi was anxious, repeatedly emphasizing, "You have cultivated for ten lifetimes, and in each lifetime you have endured different kinds of suffering for the sake of the world. Other practitioners only suffer from one of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, but you have endured the suffering of 'widowhood, loneliness, disability, illness, lack of money, power, and life' for the sake of world peace and human well-being. This last lifetime must be the suffering of 'short life' that you have experienced. It is precisely because you have endured these hardships that you have become the key to this small world."

Ru Yue was confused by what she heard. She understood the literal meaning, but when she put them together, she was confused again. She couldn't understand why such a selfish person like herself would do those so-called spiritual practices for the so-called world and people. She couldn't understand it.

Seeing her face full of disapproval, the little dumpling explained anxiously: "Master, please don't disbelieve me, you really have suffered for ten lifetimes for the sake of the world -

In your first life, you were born into a wealthy family. At that time, the world was in chaos and people were suffering. To maintain peace and stability, you saved the people from disaster. You gave away all your millions of dollars and eventually died of hunger and cold.

In another life, you were a master of poetry and etiquette, admired by the world, with disciples all over the world. But the court was corrupt, rituals and music were in decline, the world was in chaos, and even the earthenware pots were roaring. To save the collapsing world and the chaotic human relations, you abandoned your reputation and family business, wandered far and wide, and finally died alone...

Even in this life, you chose to die young in order to save the world from danger. Heaven has pity on you, allowing you to live a new life in this girl's body...

Meng Ruyue still couldn't understand it. She'd endured ten lifetimes of frustration just to live her life in someone else's body in this one? Was it worth it? Was that something she would do? It didn't seem like it, no matter how she thought about it.

Forget it, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. She is not the kind of person who worries about things.

"By the way, how do you know I'm a good person who has practiced for ten lifetimes?" Ru Yue was puzzled, "Is there a mark on my face?

The little ball actually nodded in agreement, which once again broke Meng Ruyue's cognition, "Where is the mark?" She turned around and leaned on the railing to look at the water surface carefully.

"There is a bright red mole between the master's eyebrows." Little Dumpling reminded at the right time.

"Children's noses grow longer when they lie." Although short-lived in her previous life, she'd lived past 25. It's been a few days since she'd traveled to this time and space, and in two lifetimes, she'd never seen a red mole between her eyebrows. Meng Ruyue threatened the little girl, attempting to disprove his words, as if that would make her her old self again.

"Master, you are still young and cannot see it. The mole will not appear until you are fifteen years old, and it will be complete when you are sixteen years old." The little dumpling explained with a smile.

"Then how did you see it?"

"I am the spirit of this small world, and you are the master of this small world. From the moment you awakened me, my fate is connected with yours. I cannot see your fate, but I can see you, the master." In fact, after hearing so much, Meng Ruyue was still confused.

If she didn't understand, then forget it. If it was true, she would understand it sooner or later. If it wasn't true, why waste time? She, who had always been content with what she had, once again chose to turn a blind eye.

"But it wasn't like this when I first came in!" Meng Ruyue asked again, suddenly thinking of something, "Is this what the bamboo slips said about accumulating energy to upgrade?"

"I guess so. What you first saw was the appearance of this place when Emperor Shennong first opened it. Now it is the appearance that Fairy Linghuan built after accumulating energy. As for what you can build it into, it depends on you, the master!" The little dumpling looked at Meng Ruyue with stars in his eyes, with an expression of great anticipation.

"But what is the energy that stimulates the upgrade of this small world?" Meng Ruyue was confused.

"That energy is both hard to find and easy to obtain," Little Dumpling quickly explained. "If you can find medicinal plants that aren't in this sacred garden and move them in, it will be upgraded."

"The Fairy Linghuan transplanted some treasure that even Shennong couldn't find?" Meng Ruyue asked disappointedly.

"It's this magical spring." Little Dumpling said cheerfully, "This spring water can strengthen the body, detoxify and remove dirt. It's a rare magical medicine in the world."

"No." Meng Ruyue suddenly discovered a big problem. "The Fairy Linghuan moved the medicinal spring into the space, which made this place upgraded to this level. But how did I make it become like this?"

"Your blood!"

"Wait a minute, you're saying that because I was injured this afternoon and brought blood into the space, this space was upgraded because of my blood, is that right?"

"Yes, yes." Little Dumpling said as a matter of course.

"You don't mean to say that eating my flesh and drinking my blood can make you immortal, right?" Meng Ruyue suddenly thought of Tang Monk.

"Master, you're overthinking it. I can't achieve immortality, but I can still cure all kinds of poisons, relieve illnesses, and prolong your life."

"It's over, it's over, it's over." Meng Ruyue was truly terrified. What would happen if anyone knew about this? Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong had almost been eaten by a monster. How could she survive facing someone far more terrifying than a monster?

"Master, don't worry. Only you and I know about this. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one else will know the secret." Little Dumpling comforted Ru Yue.

It seems that I have to stay away from people when I sleep in the future, otherwise I might accidentally talk in my sleep and be overheard by someone, which would put my life in danger.

"By the way, who are you? What's your name? Why didn't I see you before?" After revealing that, Meng Ruyue returned to the main topic and continued asking.

"I am the spirit that was born when Emperor Shennong refined this small world. When the Great Emperor was here, he called me 'Ling'. When Fairy Linghuan took possession of this space, she called me 'Anon'. After each master ascended to heaven, I would turn into a stubborn stone and guard this place, waiting for the next master to appear without eating or moving." The little dumpling said quietly, "By the way, Master, can you give me a name?"

"'A Ling' - a spiritual being with spiritual energy, what do you think?" Ru Yue blurted out the word 'A Ling' without thinking, as if she had thought about it in her mind long ago.

After repeating "'A Ling,' 'A Ling,'" he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I like A Ling, thank you, Master."

Seeing this little glutinous rice ball-like spirit being so satisfied with such a simple name, Ru Yue felt as if her heart was strangled by something. She felt so distressed that she couldn't breathe. Thousands of years, a wait that seemed so long that there was no end in sight. How much loneliness and solitude had such a small spirit endured?

"A Ling, call me sister."

"Master, don't you want A-Ling?"

"Silly A Ling, I didn't abandon you. You are not my servant, but my brother. This is our shared home. I am your sister, do you understand?"

"Sister, sister, sister..." Little Aling suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "I have a sister now. I am not only Jing Ling but also my sister's younger brother." He turned around and hugged Ru Yue with a happy smile, but there were tears in his eyes for the first time in his life.

Meng Ruyue also hugged A Ling tightly, feeling sorry for his thousands of years of waiting, sorry for his thousands of years of loneliness, and even more sorry for the family love he had never received in these thousands of years...
