After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 79 is a transitional chapter; you don't have to subscribe.

"Egret—"

When Huang Dan heard that Bai Lu had woken up, he rushed in from outside without saying a word, looked her up and down a few times, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, your brother would have given us a good beating—where's Hanba? She disappeared while you were unconscious, and we still haven't found her. And what happened to your neck? One minute it's badly injured, and the next it's perfectly fine. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it! Look at these sheets—"

Huang Dan rattled off a long string of words like a machine gun, leaving Bai Lu no chance to interject. She slowly turned her head to follow Huang Dan's finger and found that there was indeed a large pool of blood there. Her lips twitched. Was no one going to care that she was lying in a pool of blood?
At least change the sheets!

How unhygienic!
The egret touched its neck, and the wound on its body had healed. Moreover, a necklace had appeared on it, which was clearly the one given to it by Uncle Gu Xing.

Lin Rui's gaze followed Bai Lu's hand. She didn't know how the necklace came about; it had suddenly appeared on her older sister's neck.

She was about to ask, but Bai Chen shook his head at her.

The egret twirled the beads on the necklace, somewhat troubled. She didn't know how to explain the wound.

It can't be explained by science!

Even metaphysical methods can't explain it!

Her last pair of large eyes fixed on Master Qingxu, who had been waiting for her explanation. Seeing her gaze, he instantly understood and said to Huang Dan, "Xiao Dan, do your job well. Don't ask so many questions you shouldn't. How's the amusement park situation going? Have Manager Liu and the amusement park employees signed confidentiality agreements? Have all the piled-up bones and dried blood been cleaned up?"

"The confidentiality agreement has been signed, and matters inside the haunted house are still being handled!"

Huang Dan glanced at Bai Lu. She had received the message from Master Qingxu's words and knew that there were some things that were beyond her level of knowledge.

Master Qingxu is the person in charge of the entire Jiang Province, and Dongcheng also belongs to Jiang Province. As subordinates, they naturally obey their leader's orders unconditionally.

So Huang Dan stopped dwelling on the matter and, no matter how curious she was, had to suppress it and began to report on the haunted house at the amusement park.

There were thirteen people possessed by ghosts. After sunset, they captured all the possessing spirits and found that, as Bailu said, they were indeed new souls with no ability to possess others. However, they did not know whether it was the drought demon or something else that used some means to give the new souls the ability to possess others. Not long after they left the human body, they began to become confused and disoriented.

Yan Sen and others have contacted the underworld to assist in the case.
As for the haunted house—

The haunted house has four themes: two modern and two ancient. It is accessed through four doors, which seem to be independent of each other. In fact, there is a secret passage that connects the four themes, but it is so well hidden that no tourists have discovered it yet.

All four themes have a certain amount of yin energy. The amusement park owner said that in order to enhance the visitor experience, he invited a feng shui master to participate in the design, and the only requirement was that it be scary enough.

The feng shui master also succeeded; the themed environment had a strong psychological suggestion, and with the added blessing of yin energy, it's no exaggeration to say that visitors started to feel afraid as soon as they entered.

As for that coffin room, it is an alternate dimension for ordinary people, and no one can go there without the drought demon's permission.

Because of the sudden disappearance of the drought demon, the entire alternate dimension was exposed. In another small room, they found a mountain of bones, and the number of victims was unknown.

Huang Dan and his team haven't yet discovered the identity of the remains' owner. Instead, they've found out that the amusement park owner concealed several cases of missing tourists. The owner, who had rushed over, was presented with evidence before he even had time to wipe his sweat.

The sky is falling.

After Huang Dan finished her report, Master Qingxu nodded and asked her to leave. Besides him and Bai Lu, Bai Chen and Lin Rui were also politely asked to leave.

Master Qingxu circled Bailu's bedside several times, leaning on his cane, before finally unable to hold back and asking, "I won't ask anything else, I'll just ask one question—will that drought demon ever return?"

Bai Lu pursed her lips, she was also struggling with whether to continue to play dumb and pretend that this matter had nothing to do with her, or to admit that she had to take responsibility for it.

She glanced around the room, where only she and Daoist Qingxu were present, and knew that he suspected her, but he didn't mention it in front of others...

Finally, the egret slowly spoke: "It's highly likely that they won't be coming back."

"That's good!"

Master Qingxu felt much more at ease, subconsciously ignoring the words "high probability".

He glanced at the egret and sighed inwardly.

When Master Songfeng first mentioned her, he thought she was from a reclusive family who had come out to train. After investigating, he learned that she was from an ordinary family, so he assumed that she had a miraculous encounter that led her to embark on the path of cultivation at the age of twenty-six, and that her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds in an astonishing way.

Even when he and Songfeng were only at the second level of Qi Refining, they were still no match for her despite using all their strength.

Later, she surprised him every time. From the Spirit Gathering Array to discovering the hidden array of their Sanqing Temple, he knew that her mastery of arrays was extraordinary. Then there was the "Construction Site No. 3" incident, where she easily killed the Mao Jiang. Although she lost some of her cultivation when killing the wandering corpse, she escaped unscathed. Now, she actually "sent" away this drought demon.

Yes, they were sent away, not even a single hair was left behind.

As for where it was sent—

do not know!
I have no idea!
For Master Qingxu, the more he got to know Bailu, the more of a mystery she seemed. He had no idea what kind of surprise or shock she might give him next.

She was really ordinary, but her whole being was a secret, and there was no way to find out anything about her.

They even found out her test scores in first grade and the messages her teacher wrote in her notebook. From birth to age 25, she was just an ordinary rural girl.

After thoroughly investigating her, they finally found some useful information.

It was that car accident not long ago. Judging from the surveillance video, he was clearly seriously injured, but the hospital record only showed minor injuries!
Could it be that people unleash their potential when they are on the verge of death?

But this doesn’t make sense!

With so many people on the verge of death across the country, how come she was the one who unleashed her potential?

Tsk, this doesn't make sense, and that doesn't make sense either!
Master Qingxu simply gave up on thinking about it.

In fact, he had considered putting Bailu under control. For the sake of safety, the best way to deal with an uncertain factor like Bailu was to put her under control and use every means to make her reveal everything she knew!

But judging from her actions during this period, she is an outstanding and kind-hearted girl. Master Qingxu has lived for many years and considers himself quite good at judging people. He believes that Bailu would never do anything that would harm the interests of the country.

For that reason alone, she deserves his complete trust.

If there are secrets, then there are secrets.

Whatever she does, as long as it doesn't violate principles or harm national interests, he will back her up.

……

As the Buddha said, there are three thousand worlds.

The universe is composed of worlds of varying sizes, including the Lesser Thousand Worlds, the Middle Thousand Worlds, and the Greater Thousand Worlds. Each lesser world is separated by barriers. If a person is destined to live in a lesser world, they can only live in that lesser world for their entire life. If they want to break through the barriers to go to another lesser world, in the terms of the cultivation world, they must break through the void.

Shattering the void is not something that ordinary cultivators can do; only powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage can do it after ascending to the Immortal Realm.

No matter how powerful the drought demon is, it doesn't yet have the ability to return from the cultivation world. Moreover, Sect Master Wang and Uncle-Master Gu Xing will not let her go!
To be honest, she felt a little guilty.

After all, when she learned that the woman in red was indeed a drought demon, she knew very well that the cultivators of the modern world were no match for her, and they had already angered her. No one knew what she would do.

A catastrophic disaster is not impossible!

Just then, she learned that her token could transport her to the cultivation world at any time. So when Huang Dan, Yan Sen, and the others were injured by the drought demon again, she didn't have time to think too much and rushed over to take the drought demon with her back to the Bu Liu Xing Sect.

—There are many powerful cultivators in the cultivation world, and there are always people who can deal with her, but that's not the case in the modern world.

Shifting the blame is an underhanded act on her part. There's a twisted saying among Taoist practitioners: "It's better to die for a fellow Taoist than for yourself."

It's very suitable for this purpose.

Egret: Fellow cultivators, I'm sorry!
She had no choice!
Just now it was said that there are barriers between each small world, but Bai Lu herself doesn't know why she can now freely travel between two worlds with a jade tablet. Although not both worlds have physical bodies, this is an established fact.

However, she now knows that every time she travels back and forth, she is in the same place as before she came back. That's why she and the drought demon are stacked on the bed when they travel back. If nothing unexpected happens, she will wake up in bed the next time she goes back.

.........

Bai Lu stopped getting involved in the amusement park business. The three of them stayed at a hotel for one night, went to a 4S store the next day, and bought a new car and drove home on the third day.

Yes.

I bought a car.

Because the salesperson was given extra money, the paperwork was processed very quickly.

I placed a temporary license plate on the passenger side windshield and drove home.

Because Lin Rui was there, they did not choose to take the path to the underworld to quickly return home.

Bai Lu also felt that although it was convenient to walk the path of the underworld, living people should always walk the path of sunlight and bask in the sun, which is good for their health.

Driving home slowly, even the glaring sunlight seemed brighter. Lin Rui squinted; she loved the sun just as much as she did when she was a child.

Driving his new car, Bai Chen exclaimed with emotion, "This past month has felt like a dream. Before, I even had to borrow half of what I wanted to buy a car from my aunt. Now, I can buy this new car worth over 100,000 yuan just like that! Sister, has anyone ever told you that you are an angel?"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes: "Stop saying such mushy things to disgust me. This is my car, it's in my name, it has nothing to do with you. If you want to buy a car, you have to earn it yourself!"

"Almost there!" Bai Chen said with a smile, tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel. "I wonder how my second sister is doing with those seedlings at home, and whether there are any bugs left! Once the vegetables grow and we sell them, I'll have money."

The egret raised its eyebrows but remained silent.

Bai Chen glanced at Bai Lu with a sensitive look and shouted, "What? Did I say something wrong? I also forced the seeds to grow, I also planted the vegetables, I also did the work. Compared with your work, what I did—ha, it's not fair if you don't give me a share of the money!"

Bailu didn't share a single penny of the money from selling wild vegetables with him and his second sister!

Just like Yang Bailao!

It's one thing for his second sister to have to work to pay off debts, but him! Such an honest person! How come he doesn't deserve a salary!

Does he not even deserve a salary of five thousand yuan?!

"Split it! Split it! Split it!"

Bai Lu smiled and agreed. Bai Chen immediately seized the opportunity, his mouth practically agape as he said, "Then let's distribute according to work, the more you work, the more you get?!"

Bai Lu's smile vanished, and she glared at him: "If you don't want to give me a share of the money, just say so. The more you work, the more you earn! Are you trying to say I didn't do enough work? Humph, sorry, I have a veto right. Your proposal is rejected. I'm the boss. The initial investment was all my money. How much I give you and your spendthrift second sister depends on my mood."

Bai Chen didn't mind and chuckled.

As long as it can be divided, that's fine!

Lin Rui laughed along with them. She had taken three days off from work to recuperate her traumatized mind.

When the three of them returned home, Qin Xiu was leading her large flock of chicks back from the fields when she saw Bai Chen driving back in a "dumping car" that hadn't been registered yet.

"Douche" is their local slang for pickup truck, a brand new pickup truck!

She took two steps forward: "Whose new car is this?"

As she spoke, a sense of foreboding washed over her, but the next second, Bai Chen's excited tone made her heart sink completely—

Bai Chen was all smiles: "Big sister bought it! Look at this big container, it can hold so many vegetables!"

Qin Xiu gritted her teeth: "How much? Didn't we agree not to buy a car yet!"

With over ten acres of land about to be wasted, how did these two "land-dependent" people have the audacity to buy a car?

I just made a little money and I'm already buying a car!!!

Qin Xiu knew exactly how much money she had made during this period, but buying this car meant all that work had been for nothing!

"Mom, this car will be very useful in the future!" Bai Lu led Lin Rui out of the car.

As soon as Qin Xiu saw Lin Rui, her angry expression disappeared. She stopped asking questions and smiled warmly, "Little Rui is here! Come in, come in, come home!"

Lin Rui had been "tricked" into coming to Bai Chen's house long ago, where he introduced her to his whole family.

In the past two years, she has often come to Bailu's house to play during holidays, and the Bai family has already accepted her as their future daughter-in-law.

"Aunt!"

Lin Rui called out sweetly.

The two women walked upstairs hand in hand like mother and daughter, and Bai Lu and Bai Chen briefly escaped a disaster.
