The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country
Chapter 18 Yin Yang Grass
It was late at night and everything was silent. Meng Ruyue got out of bed and glanced at the sleeping little Ruxue. The little girl was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face. She looked at the thatched hut next to her, quietly took a bag of snacks from the bamboo basket, and slipped into the space.
"Sister, you are here to see A Ling." Before Ru Yue could stand firmly, A Ling came to her and greeted her.
The sudden sound startled Ru Yue. She patted her chest to calm her frightened mind. She handed the snack to A Ling and said, "I don't know what flavor you like, so I brought you two pieces of each. Tell me which one you like and I'll bring it to you next time."
After taking the snacks, Ah Ling happily led Meng Ruyue forward and asked, "Sister, do you want to go inside the cottage and take a look?"
"Okay." It's only right to inspect your own territory. You should always be familiar with your own territory.
Climb up the white marble steps, around the jade railings, golden animal faces, and colorful dragon heads; enter the front hall, you will see towering pillars surrounded by coiled dragons, so magnificent; go around to the back room, inside, the gauze curtains hang low, brocade covers the walls, and embroidered felt covers the ceiling. The furnishings are all used in a girl's boudoir, with a jade-inlaid bed with exquisite carvings, a brocade quilt with embroidered covers, and gilded hooks. The sachets hanging on them emit a faint fragrance.
Meng Ruyue sighed once again, this magical fairy is the one who truly knows how to enjoy life! Even if she becomes as rich as a country in the future, she will probably still be far behind her!
"Sister, do you like it here?" A Ling asked.
"This place is so beautiful, I love it." Seeing her tattered clothes that didn't match the place, Ru Yue felt ashamed of herself. "Let's go sit in the pavilion."
A Ling noticed that Ru Yue was uncomfortable, so he didn't take her to other places and went straight to the pavilion on the water.
"Sister, don't think too much. Everything here is yours. Unless Emperor Shennong comes back, even Fairy Linghuan will just be a passerby." Seeing that Ru Yue was still in a bad mood, A Ling knew that she was holding a grudge.
"It's okay, I will get better one day." Ru Yue quickly adjusted her mood and returned to her previous optimistic look.
"Sister is the best." A Ling gave Ru Yue the nice guy card from time to time, making her feel embarrassed.
After she calmed down, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit. She quickly took out the blueprint that Shopkeeper Cao had given her and asked Ah Ling, "Do you recognize this kind of resurrection grass? Is there any in the space?"
Ah Ling took the blueprint and carefully examined the abstract lines, her brows furrowed. "Resurrection Grass? I've never heard of that name, nor have I seen such an herb in this dimension. Could it be that it doesn't exist in this dimension? Did Sister find the clue to the herbs needed to upgrade the dimension so quickly?"
Ru Yue stared at Ah Ling's little face, her heart tightening. After hearing what he said, she realized he was also bewildered by the freehand image. She hurriedly explained, "This image may not be vivid enough. I heard that this grass has different leaves on opposite sides, different flowers on the same stem, and even the fruits are different colors. It is said to have the effect of resurrecting the dead, so it is called the resurrection grass. Could it be an herb that even Shennong had not tasted?"
"Oh, I understand. This is not the resurrection grass, and it doesn't look like a few strings. I'll take my sister to see it." After hearing Ru Yue's words, A Ling suddenly realized.
As if teleporting, A Ling took Ru Yue's hand and they arrived at the foot of a cliff. A stream of cold water poured down, stirring up mist all over the sky. People could feel the chill. On both sides of the cold water grew several grasses like leeks and orchids. One side had light green leaves like snow, while the other side had dark green like ink. One side had bright red petals like blood, while the other side had petals as white as jade; the tips of the leaves held two dewdrop-like fruits, one gold and one silver.
Ru Yue was amazed, this is the resurrection grass!
"How can this be called a resurrection grass? Actually, it's not very effective, or even useless at all. Emperor Shennong called it the 'Yin Yang Grass.' It grows in a place of extreme yin and yang. Behind this cliff is hot lava, while the frigid water beside it is formed from ten thousand years of frozen ice. Its leaves, flowers, and fruits of different colors possess both extreme cold and hot properties." Ah Ling explained to Ru Yue, "Anyone who needs this grass must have been poisoned by extreme yin and yang, otherwise the grass itself would be a highly toxic substance of extreme cold and heat."
"I don't know either, but someone offered a large reward for this herb."
"Sister, do you want some? I'll pick some for you."
"I'd rather not." Ru Yue refused A Ling's kindness with a hard heart. "There are only a few trees here. If I need them, I can just take them. If I make it a habit, greed will become my nature, and the plants here will gradually become extinct. I can't go against Shennong's original intention of refining this space."
"Haha, sister, you're truly a good person who has cultivated for ten lifetimes. You always consider others." Ah Ling firmly believed in Ru Yue's "good person" persona. "But sister, you're worrying too much. The Emperor created this dimension out of fear that future generations would run out of certain herbs. Therefore, the herbs in this dimension will automatically return to their original state once they are pulled out, so they won't become extinct."
"Really? That's great, I want one then." Ru Yue was so excited that she couldn't wait to find a way to pick one.
"Sister, this grass can only grow and survive in a place with extremely high yin and yang. Once it leaves here, it will immediately turn into rotten grass and lose its effectiveness."
"What should we do?" Ru Yue was immediately anxious. What the hell was this? "How can we pick it and take it out?"
"Don't worry, sister. Once you pick this herb, you need to separate it immediately. The extremely yin half needs to be placed in a cold jade box to maintain its coldness, and the extremely yang half needs to be placed in a fiery jade box to maintain its heat. It must be used as medicine within a hundred days of picking, otherwise its efficacy will be lost."
"What the hell is this? How can it be so pretentious?" Ru Yue was driven crazy by this grass. She pulled her hair and shouted, "It's okay for people to be pretentious, but a grass can be so pretentious. How can a doctor like me feel?"
"Haha, sister, there's no need to be so. Think about it, since someone knows this herb, they must also know its 'pretentiousness'. You just need to let them know that you can find this herb, and naturally someone will send those things to you. What do you think?"
"That's right!" After A Ling reminded her, Meng Ruyue immediately understood everything.
"A Ling, are you really just a little kid?" Ru Yue sat on a smooth stone and asked A Ling stupidly.
"Sister, you've forgotten that A Ling has existed for thousands and tens of thousands of years. Although it lives only in this space, its two previous owners were powerful people who traveled the world. A Ling has certainly seen all kinds of life." A Ling still spoke the most mature and experienced words in the softest voice.
Well, since you are the "sister", don't worry about how old Aling is.
"A Ling, how many plants are there here? How do I know if what I found is here?" Ru Yue asked dejectedly.
"Sister, don't worry about it. This place is yours, just like your hands, feet, ears, and eyes. As long as you release your spiritual sense, you will naturally see everything clearly. It's just that you don't know much about these plants now, so you can't recognize them right away."
Hearing this, Ru Yue closed her eyes and thought about various places in the space. Immediately, countless plants in the space appeared in her mind. However, there were too many types and she didn’t recognize them, so after looking at them, she still couldn’t tell what was there!
"Since you've become the owner of this place, even if you don't know medicine, you should at least know some herbs, don't you think?" A Ling suggested.
"You're right. I'll go to the bookstore in town to buy some books to study tomorrow." Ru Yue became even more depressed. Thinking that she would have to take the college entrance examination again like she did in her previous life, she shuddered unconsciously.
"No need to go to so much trouble. Emperor Shennong left behind a book on medicine and medicine. You can just study it directly."
"ok, I get it."
"A Ling, Shennong is a god, I know; Linghuan Fairy is a demigod, what is a demigod? I am the key to this space, does that mean I am also a descendant of a god?" Ru Yue asked excitedly with a little anticipation.
"Sister, where do you want to go? Because you are the best 'good person' in the world, the space is yours, but you are just an ordinary good person."
"After coming to this world, why do I feel like I'm exposed to weird things? I feel like I'm the only ordinary person." This space journey completely devastated Meng Ruyue.
"Sister, don't underestimate yourself. Gods and humans are just two different tribes, just like cats can meow and dogs can bark. Gods are just one tribe called 'Gods'. Different tribes have different abilities, just like birds can fly with wings spread and beasts can jump over ravines with their hooves spread. Gods just have more special abilities." Ah Ling explained to Ru Yue.
"You mean that gods aren't some extraordinary heretical beings, they're just a group of living things, right?"
"exactly."
"But if gods have such powerful abilities, won't they eventually rule over other races? Wouldn't humans classify non-human creatures as inferior and call them beasts?"
"Gods can't, because they have a fatal flaw: their ability to reproduce is very weak, or even nonexistent. This is why they later became extinct. Fairy Linghuan is the offspring of a human and a god, but she inherited all the characteristics of both humans and gods. So even though she was smart, beautiful, and possessed incredible divine skills, she was unable to bear children. In the end, she died alone and ascended to heaven."
"Hey, God is fair to all creatures."
"Sister, you are wrong again. Humans are a group favored by God. You are flawless." A Ling said firmly.
Meng Ruyue carefully pondered A Ling's words and had to admit that he might be right.
"how about you?"
"Ah Ling is just a spirit. I was born because of this small world and was awakened because of my sister's bloodline. I am neither in the Three Realms nor in the Five Elements. If this space is gone, Ah Ling will be gone too. If my sister is gone, Ah Ling will be gone too."
Ru Yue fell silent again. What was Ah Ling? A companion? But he clearly existed before her. A parasite? He clearly didn't need her, his master, to sustain him... Perhaps he could only be understood as a companion or parasite of this space, and she had only been lucky enough to gain its approval, leaving Ah Ling with another burden!
"It's late, sister, you should go back." A Ling reminded.
Meng Ruyue nodded and left the space with a lot on her mind.
The next day, Ru Yue was revived with full health. Thinking that the purpose of this trip to the mountain had changed from searching for spiritual herbs to just finding a cliff, her mood became extremely happy.
Going up the mountain is different from being at home, so you must not be careless about the things you need to prepare. Ru Yue thought about it for a long time. Food, drinks, daily necessities, medicine to prevent mosquitoes and snakes and scorpions, knives for self-defense... nothing should be missing.
Not knowing whether the hatchet left in the trap could be found, Ru Yue simply ran to the town and bought another one.
Thinking that there were so many mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the mountains and it was difficult to guard against them, I ran to Yifengtang and bought several large bags of anti-mosquito, snake and ant medicine.
She couldn't be careless about food. She and Chu Ning'an had to bring some food when they went up the mountain, and the two little ones also had to eat at home. So she simply went to the noodle stall and bought twenty meat buns and twenty steamed buns. Thinking that the steamed buns were too dry, she went to the braised meat shop and bought two portions of long-lasting smoked chicken and smoked meat. If it weren't for the hot weather that made things spoil easily, she would have bought some more. It was just that it was really distressing that she couldn't use the space casually!
Water is not a problem, after all, there are the best water resources in the space, but the appearance must be done well. The more I get in touch with him, the more I feel that Chu Ning'an is not easy to fool.
Even after leaving the two children at home, she was still very worried, so she found Zhang Erqiang and two others and asked them to go to the end of the village more often these days, whether they had anything to do or not. She was afraid that those unlucky people in the old Meng family would bully the two little ones while she was away.
By the time everything was settled, the day was almost over.
Thinking that Chu Ning'an would follow her into the mountains tomorrow, it would be inconvenient for her to enter and exit the space to see A Ling. Late at night, she entered the space again, told A Ling about her plans and the next itinerary, told him not to worry about her, and then left the space.
"Sister, don't be in a hurry to leave. You're traveling with others. If you run into danger and can't return to the space in time, you must bring some handy items to protect yourself." He pulled Ru Yue to a room at the back of the cottage, which was filled with various weapons suitable for girls. "Sister, pick out something handy, just in case."
"Are these weapons not all magical?" Ru Yue asked suspiciously.
"No, they are just some self-defense items collected by Fairy Linghuan during her lifetime."
Ru Yue chose a short knife that looked like a dagger in later generations. The scabbard was simple and ingenious, the blade had a slight curve, was small and thin, and looked extremely sharp. Fortunately, she was not one of those weak little women of this era. In her previous life, in order to maintain her figure and protect herself from wolves, she had practiced Sanda for several years and it was not in vain. She was more than capable of wielding a knife.
This time, Ru Yue did not linger for space. She said goodbye to A Ling early, took the dagger and went back to her bed to have sex.
After a good night's sleep, the four of them woke up in the morning and had a simple breakfast. Meng Ruyue repeatedly reminded her brother and sister-in-law to be careful, and then she and Chu Ning'an took the packed equipment and went into the mountains.
