  The ruler of the Kingdom of Biqiu was deceived by his father-in-law into seeking an immortality elixir containing the blood of over one thousand children's hearts. When Xuanzang heard this cruel news on his journey, the kind-hearted man asked the monkey to save the children. With help from a group of deities, the monkey hid all children outside the kingdom. Then, he went to the palace with Xuanzang to investigate the situation and figured out that the royal father-in-law was a demon. After all the children in the kingdom went missing, the royal father-in-law suggested the king use the Tang monk's heart instead. Disguising himself as his master, the monkey took many hearts out of his own chest to expose the demon's lie. The monkey and Pigsy chased the demon to his den and were about to kill him when the Star of Longevity arrived and showed them the demon's true appearance, a white deer. The demon was previously the deity's mount. The children were then sent back to the kingdom. Delighted, the families expressed their gratitude to the pilgrims.

  The Little Oak Who Listened -...

  In a bright and bustling forest, where trees hum with hidden whispers and roots share secret stories, a little sapling named Lila stretches toward the sky. She loves listening to the quiet songs of the woodland, carried beneath the earth by a wondrous network of roots and fungi. 
  But one day, Lila notices the whispers are fading—the forest’s underground connections are growing weak. Determined to help, she sets off on a journey through the woodland, guided by wise fungi, a friendly bumblebee, and the gentle wisdom of an ancient beech tree. Along the way, she discovers the magic of wildflowers, the kindness of humans who plant them, and the incredible power of working together. 
  As Lila grows, so does the forest’s song. The whispers return, stronger than ever, rippling through the trees, buzzing with the bees, and rustling in the leaves. And when Lila finally spreads her branches as a mighty oak, she stands as a guardian of the woodland’s great symphony—a reminder that even the smallest among us can help the world grow strong, one connection at a time.

  The Biggest Civil War Battles of...

  Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, particularly Gettysburg, Antietam, and Shiloh, all of which involved Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant. But one of the 6 biggest battles of the war, and the one that took the heaviest toll by % on both armies was fought at the end of 1862 in Tennessee, and it involved neither of those generals. Though Stones River is mostly overlooked as a Civil War battle today, it had a decisive impact on the war. The two armies had both suffered nearly 33% casualties, an astounding number in 1862. 
  Of all the Civil War battles fought, and of all the victories achieved by Robert E. Lee at the command of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, the Battle of Chancellorsville is considered the most tactically complex and ultimately the most brilliant Confederate victory of the war. However, it cost them Stonewall Jackson, and the reorganization of the armies and the battle itself played an influential role in the way the Pennsylvania Campaign and the Battle of Gettysburg unfolded later that summer.  
  Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all.  
  While many read about the siege of Vicksburg in the summer of 1863, as well as the desperate straits the Confederate soldiers and Vicksburg residents found themselves in, Grant’s initial attempts to advance towards Vicksburg met with several miserable failures, and it took several months just to get to the point where the Union forces could start a siege.
