Chapter 35: The Blackwater Pool and the Grey Forest (2)

"Quack, quack..."The shrimp toad was scared into a cold sweat, and couldn't help shaking, and the atmosphere didn't dare to say a word.

"Fairy, you spare the shrimp and toad..."

"The stinky shrimp toad just has a bad mouth, he doesn't really stand on the side of the evil god!" All the spirits pleaded for the shrimp toad.

Pian Pian snorted and pulled the knife off. The shrimp toad rolled on the ground, covered the wound and retreated to the tree, lowered his head and counted his fingers, played with the small wild mushrooms on the ground, and did not dare to reply again.

The green-eyed fox stood up and said with a wry smile: "Fairy, you also have to understand our feelings, the minions of the evil gods of Shunde will go up the mountain to trouble us every three days, if there is a little bit of dissatisfaction with them, they will go on a killing spree, and we spirits have also tasted his suffering, and we can't wait for those evil gods to die." But their power is so huge, and there are so many evil gods and evil ghosts under their command, if we want these ragtag troops to fight against the evil gods, wouldn't it mean that we will be sent to death. So everyone would rather live in secret, and be able to hide for a day. ”

Pian Pian shook her head and said, "If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, if you really let the evil gods occupy the entire mortal world, you will have nowhere to hideβ€”but..." ”

"That place, that place..." The old tree spirit opened his mouth and asked, "Fairy, the place you are talking about is the legendary holy land of the spirits - 'Dongtian'?" ”

"I've heard of that place!"

"Cave Heaven!"

"That's a good place!"

There was quite a commotion among the spirits.

"Yes, it's Dongtian." Pian Pian nodded.

"What the hell is that?"

"Why can you not be invaded by evil thoughts?" Several of the younger spirits asked such questions.

"Let me tell you about it." The green-eyed fox cleared his throat and began to speak at length: "The cave is in the sky, there is no heaven and earth in the cave." A long, long time ago, in addition to humans, insects, birds and beasts, there were countless spirits in the mortal world. People and spirits fight for the land, and there are constant conflicts between large and small, and the gods always protect mortals, and we spirits have to keep giving in. Thousands of years ago, one of the spirits learned that the mortal world would eventually belong to mortals, so he united several gods to work together to create a fairyland at the intersection of the mortal world and the heavenly realm, named "Dongtian". At that time, many spirits moved out of the world with the tree immortals, and some spirits who did not want to leave remained in the mortal world. For thousands of years, those spirits who went to the cave heaven occasionally came back to the world to visit old friends, and sometimes they were entrusted by the gods to help deal with some things. At the same time, it also brought the legend of the cave by the way. ”

Hundreds of spirits listened intently to the green-eyed fox. The green-eyed fox continued: "I heard my nine-tailed grandfather mention that Dongtian is an extremely beautiful place, with endless fruits to eat and elixir to drink; The flowers never wither, and the grass is always verdant. It is truly carefree there, and it is more comfortable than the gods. ”

"Fairy, is Dongtian really as good as the green-eyed fox said-" The spirits who had never heard of the rumors of Dongtian looked at Pian Pian suspiciously.

"This group of Heavenly Realm nascent immortals, including me, was made by the Heavenly Realm Refining Divine Officials who made a special trip to the Cave Heaven and worked together with the Cave Heaven Elders." Pian Pian showed the pair of snow-white butterfly wings behind her, glowing with a slight light, and said: "Dongtian is my hometown, I grew up in Dongtian, the beauty there is difficult to describe in words, I haven't been back for many years, until now, I still dream of everything in Dongtian from time to time, and I miss it very much." The green-eyed fox's description of the cave sky is not even one percent. ”

"It's just..." The green-eyed fox looked at Pian Pian and asked, "As far as I know, the spirits in the cave can freely roam between the human world and the cave sky, but the spirits in the human world have to go through layers of tests and audits before they can enter the cave sky." For thousands of years, very few mortal spirits have been allowed to enter the cave, but I don't know why? ”

Pian Pian hummed and replied: "A thousand years ago, the spirits gave up fighting for land with people, and spent a lot of effort to create the fairyland of the cave sky, in which there is no dispute or war, and the spirits in the cave are more simple and innocent than the spirits in the human world. If the door is wide open, any mortal spirit can enter and exit freely, and it is inevitable to bring mortal vices into the cave, and even the evil demons may take the opportunity to blend in, then the cave is not a cave. Therefore, for thousands of years, unless the Digital Celestial God and the Cave Queen 'Tree God' agreed at the same time, ordinary spirits would not be able to enter the Cave Heaven. ”

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the spirits, Pian Pian said: "But in this extraordinary period, the Heavenly Realm and the Cave Heaven are like lips and teeth, if the righteous god is defeated by the evil god in the end, then the cave heaven will not escape the catastrophe after all, and the tree god agreed to the proposal of the heavenly realm - the mortal spirits who are willing to follow the righteous god to conquer the evil god can enter the cave heaven and become the permanent residents of the cave sky." ”

"Wow!" There was another commotion among the spirits, all of them talking about each other, and they exchanged ears. Some of them had heard of the beauty of the cave, and as soon as they heard that Pian Pian had made this condition, they couldn't wait to surround them, shouting to join this volunteer army.

The old dryant looked at the green-eyed fox and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"This butterfly fairy holds a knife in one hand and meat in the other, if you don't join, you will be the enemy of the righteous gods, and those who join can enter the cave, you say, do we have a choice?" The green-eyed fox smiled, followed by a long silence, and said seriously: "When I was very young, I heard my grandfather say many things in the cave, and it was a fairyland that he longed for, but never entered. If I can enter the cave alive, it will be considered the fulfillment of my grandfather's wish. ”

"Take it." Pian Pian handed the white stone pagoda to Ah Guan, and took out a two-inch golden seal and imprinted it on the forehead of a flower essence lined up in front. A burst of light came out of the flower essence's forehead, and there was a golden brand, and the flower essence touched its forehead curiously. Pian Pian said to her, "You can enter the pagoda." Hua Jing looked at the pagoda in Ah Guan's hand, followed by a sigh, and flew into the pagoda.

"I want it too!" "I want it too!" The spirits scrambled to sign up, allowing Pian Pian to imprint the mark of the Volunteers and enter the White Stone Pagoda one after another.

Imprinting this mark on the body, which is usually not visible, can emit a faint aura, so that the spirits can recognize each other as friend or foe.

The eight-legged shrimp toad quietly came to Ah Guan's side, pulled Ah Guan's trouser corner, and looked at him with wide eyes. Ah Guan saw that the shrimp toad looked sincere, so he said to Pianpian, "Pianpian, help him make a seal." ”

Pian Pian also stamped a mark on the head of the shrimp toad, and the shrimp toad smiled. A little squirrel next to him smiled and asked the shrimp toad: "Stinky shrimp toad, aren't you the most afraid of death?" Why do you want to join the Volunteers? ”

"Quack, what do you know, I heard that there are thousands of extremely delicious wild fruits in the cave sky, all of which are delicacies that cannot be eaten in the mortal world, and I will drool when I think of them. In the end, you always have to choose one side to stand, so it's better to fight, do you fight? The shrimp toad said with a drool.

"Fight! Of course fighting! The squirrel spirit jumped and shouted, so that Pian Pian put a mark on her head, and jumped into the pagoda one after the other with the shrimp toad.

After a while, seventy or eighty percent of the hundred or so spirits entered the pagoda, and the rest, some said that they should be considered, and some refused to join. Pian Pian was not reluctant, but talked about a few places, which were the strongholds of the heavenly realm in the human world, and if they wanted to think about it carefully, they could sign up at any time.

Then, Pian Pian put away the white stone pagoda and said with a satisfied smile: "Let's go, let's go to other places." ”

The Stone Fire Wheels ride along the trail, and the winter afternoon sun is particularly comfortable.

Pianpin, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at a small tree in front of her, and picked the flowers on the tree. The stone fire wheel flew as fast as it could, and when Pian Pian picked the flowers, the small tree was dozens of meters behind.

Suddenly, Ah Guan tilted the car to the right, and Pian Pian originally sat on the side facing the left, which was equivalent to the whole person falling backwards. She was stunned for a moment, but reacted instantly, still holding flowers in one hand, stroking her long hair with the other, and her back almost touched the ground, but she pretended to be fine.
