"Quack, quack, quack..." The toad was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He couldn't help but tremble and didn't dare to say a word.
"Fairy, please spare the toad..."
"The stinky toad is just a bad mouther, he is not really on the evil god's side!" All the spirits interceded on behalf of the toad.
Pianpian snorted and pulled out the knife. The manicured toad fell to the ground and rolled over. He covered his wound and retreated to the tree. He lowered his head, counted his fingers, and played with the small wild mushrooms on the ground. He never dared to say anything back.
The green-eyed fox stood up and said with a wry smile: "Fairy, you have to understand our mood. The minions of the Shunde Evil God come up the mountain every three days to cause trouble for us. If there is anything that doesn't go to their liking, they will kill. We spirits have also suffered from him and wish those evil gods were dead. But they are so powerful and have so many evil gods and ghosts under them. If we are asked to fight against the evil gods, doesn't it mean that we are going to die. So everyone We would rather live an ignoble existence and hide every day we can.”
Pianpian shook her head and said: "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. If the evil gods really take over the entire mortal world, you will have nowhere to hide - but..." Pianpian brushed her hair and continued: "I do. Knowing that there is a place where you will not be invaded by evil thoughts, where there will be no threats from evil gods and ghosts, or even the nagging interference of righteous gods, that is truly unrestrained, and it is the place that all mortal spirits dream of. .”
"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 fairyland of monsters - the "Cave Heaven"?"
"I've heard of that place!"
"Dongtian!"
"That's a great place!"
There was quite a commotion among the spirits.
"Yes, it's a cave." Pianpian nodded.
"Where exactly is that place?"
"Why are they immune to evil thoughts?" Several younger spirits asked this question.
"Let me explain." The green-eyed fox cleared his throat and began to talk at length: "There is a world inside the cave. A long time ago, in addition to humans, insects, birds and beasts, there were countless spirits and monsters in the world. Humans. We compete with the spirits for land, and there are constant conflicts, big and small. Gods always protect the mortals, and we spirits have to give in. Thousands of years ago, a ten thousand-year-old tree fairy among the spirits understood that the mortal world will eventually belong to mortals. So he joined several gods and worked together to create a fairyland at the intersection of the mortal world and the heavenly world, named "Dongtian". At that time, many spirits and monsters followed the tree fairy and moved away from the human world, and some were unwilling to leave. Spirits remain in the mortal world. For thousands of years, those spirits who went to the cave have occasionally returned to the human world to visit their old friends, and sometimes they were entrusted by the gods to help with some matters. At the same time, they also brought legends about the cave with them."
Hundreds of spirits listened intently to the green-eyed fox. The green-eyed fox continued: "I heard my Nine-Tailed Grandpa mention that the cave is an extremely beautiful place, with endless fruits to eat and endless nectar to drink; flowers never wither, and grass always green. Only those who live there can He is truly carefree and lives more comfortably than a god."
"Fairy, is the cave sky really as good as the green-eyed fox said?" Those spirits who had never heard the rumors about the cave sky looked at Pianpian suspiciously.
"This batch of new immortals in the heaven, including me, were created by the heavenly refining priests who went to the cave and worked together with the elders of the cave." Pianpian showed the pair of snow-white butterfly wings behind her, glowing slightly, and said, "Dongtian It’s my hometown. I grew up in Dongtian. The beauty there is hard to describe in words. I haven’t gone back for many years. Until now, I still dream about everything in Dongtian and miss it very much. The green-eyed fox loves Dongtian. The description is not even one percent better."
"It's just..." The green-eyed fox looked at Pianpian and asked: "As far as I know, the spirits in the cave can freely roam between the human world and the cave, but the spirits in the human world have to go through layers of tests and reviews. Only then can you enter the cave. For thousands of years, very few mortal spirits have been allowed to enter the cave, but I don’t know why?”
Pianpian snorted and replied: "Thousands of years ago, the spirits gave up fighting for land with humans and spent a lot of effort to create the otherworldly wonderland of Dongtian. There were no disputes or wars in Dongtian. The spirits in Dongtian were better than those in the human world. The spirits in the cave are more simple and innocent. If the door is wide open, any mortal spirit can come in and out freely. It is inevitable that the bad habits and deeds of mortals will be brought into the cave. Even evil spirits may take the opportunity to sneak in, and the cave will no longer be a cave. Therefore, for thousands of years, , without the simultaneous approval of the Digital God and the Queen of the Cave Heaven, the "Tree God", ordinary spirits cannot enter the Cave Heaven."
Seeing the disappointed expressions of the spirits, Pianpian added: "But in this extraordinary period, the heaven and the cave are like lips and teeth. If the righteous god loses to the evil god in the end, then the cave will not be able to escape the disaster after all. The tree god agreed to the proposal of the heaven - —Mortal spirits who are willing to follow the good gods to conquer the evil gods can enter the cave and become permanent residents of the cave."
"Wow!" There was another commotion among the spirits, everyone talking and whispering to each other. Some of them had heard about the beauty of the cave. As soon as they heard Pianpian offered this condition, they couldn't wait to surround him, shouting that they wanted to join this volunteer army.
The old tree spirit looked at the green-eyed fox and asked, "What do you think?"
"This Fairy Die'er holds a knife in one hand and meat in the other. Those who don't join will be enemies of the righteous god, and those who join can enter the cave. Do you think we have a choice?" The green-eyed fox chuckled, followed by silence for a long time, and said seriously Said: "When I was very young, I heard my grandfather say many things about the cave. It was a fairyland that he longed for but could never enter. If I could enter the cave alive, it would be my grandfather's place. His wish was fulfilled.”
"Take it." Pianpian handed the white stone pagoda to Aguan, then took out a two-inch golden seal and stamped it on the forehead of the flower essence in front. A burst of light emitted from Hua Jing's forehead, and a golden mark appeared. Hua Jing touched her forehead curiously. Pianpian said to her: "You can enter the pagoda." The flower essence looked at the pagoda in Aguan's hand, and then flew into the pagoda with a hiss.
"I want it too!" "I want it too!" The spirits rushed to sign up, letting Pianpian print the mark of the volunteer army, and entered the White Stone Pagoda one after another.
This mark is printed on the body, which cannot be seen normally, but it can emit a faint aura, allowing the spirits to identify each other as enemies or friends.
The eight-legged toad just now quietly came to Aguan's side, pulled Aguan's trousers, and looked at him with wide eyes. Seeing the sincerity on the toad's face, Aguan said to Pianpian: "Pianpian, give him a seal too."
Pianpian also put a seal on the toad's head, and then the toad smiled. A little squirrel spirit next to him chuckled and asked the toad: "Stinky toad, aren't you the most afraid of death? Why do you want to join the Volunteer Army?"
"Quack, what do you know? I heard that there are thousands of extremely delicious wild fruits in the cave. They are all delicacies that cannot be eaten in the world. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. In the end, you have to choose one side, so why not Give it a try, will you give it a try?" the toad said with saliva.
"Fight! Of course we fight!" the squirrel spirit jumped and shouted, letting Pianpian get a seal on his head, and jumped into the pagoda one after the other with the toad.
After a while, 70% to 80% of the hundreds of spirits entered the pagoda. Among the rest, some said they wanted to consider it, and some refused to join even to the death. Pianpian didn't force it, but talked about a few places, which were the strongholds of heaven in the human world, and asked them to think carefully and sign up at any time.
Then, Pianpian put away the white stone pagoda and said with a satisfied smile: "Let's go, let's go to other places."
The Stone Fire Wheel rides along the trail, which is particularly comfortable in the winter afternoon sun.
Pianpian, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at a small tree in front of her and picked the flowers from the tree. The stone fire wheel flew as fast as the earth. Just when Pianpian picked the flowers, the small tree was lagging behind dozens of meters away.
Suddenly, Aguan tilted the car to the right. Pianpian was sitting sideways facing the left side, which meant that she fell backwards. She was stunned at first, then reacted instantly. She was still holding the flower in one hand and stroking her long hair with the other. Her back almost touched the ground, but she pretended to be fine.
