After a while of greetings, everyone sat on the floor and took food and wine to eat and drink.
"Thank you for your hard work..." The tree god raised the alexandrite cup in his hand and paid tribute to the spirit volunteers who had gone through a hard battle in front of them. After the battle at Jincheng Building, there were only about fifty spirits left. More than half of the hundreds of spirits recruited when dealing with Qian Shougong were sacrificed.
The old tree spirit's hands were shaking so much that when the cup was brought to his mouth, all the wine inside spilled out.
The toad on the side saw it and croaked: "Old monster tree, what's wrong with you? Don't waste the good wine, croak!"
The old tree spirit smiled wildly. When he saw the tree spirit, he was at a loss as if he were seeing an idol he had longed for.
Aguan kept eating the vegetables. Qingfeng'er, Fusheng, Feidian, Ruoyu, Pianpian, etc. were all assigned to the right hand side of the tree god; Aguan and Lin Shan sat on the left hand side of the tree god.
Pianpian was in the corner, silently eating bit by bit; Ruoyu told her some jokes from time to time, and Pianpian also laughed in support of the occasion.
Aguan only felt that his head was a little confused and uncomfortable, and some strange feelings were rushing back and forth in his head. Ever since Mr. Tai Sui let Qi Yuan take him away, he had nightmares every night. When he got up in the morning, he had forgotten what he had dreamed. He only felt that many sad things seemed to have happened in his dreams. This unpleasant feeling seemed to It continues to ferment in reality and affects his mood.
"Child, don't be too sad. Chenglan will be fine." The tree god noticed Aguan's strange behavior and reached out to pat him on the head.
Aguan felt a fresh spiritual energy pouring into the top of his head, and his unhappy mood seemed to be better, and he grinned.
After a long time, everyone finished the dinner, packed up their things, and went to play around with their friends.
At this time, the sky is densely covered with colorful stars, and there are many nebulae in the distance, bursts of auroras, night-flying phoenixes and thousands of fireflies.
A cool wind blew, Aguan took a breath, and several cave spirits led Aguan and Lin Shan to walk.
The group of people walked to several tents, and the cave spirit pointed at the largest tent: "Standby... uh... uh... Acting Mr. Tai Sui, this is the tent specially prepared for you..."
Aguan was stunned. This tent was the same one he stayed in Dongtian last time. He wanted to let Pianpian sleep in this big tent that night, but Pianpian refused.
"We grew up in the cave, what kind of tent do we sleep in?" Feiding snorted and said, "I want to go back to my hometown to sleep!" Feiding said, jumped into the sky and flew away.
"I also want to go back to my hometown to see my hometown. I haven't been back for a long time." Fusheng and Qingfeng'er also shouted and flew away quickly.
Ruoyu laughed: "Sister Pianpian, let's go back to Hancai Cave... Don't disturb little Tai Sui and his Qiucao nanny."
Pianpian hummed and flew up. Aguan saw Pian Pian's retreating figure, and then noticed the wings appearing behind Pian Pian. He remembered that since Pianpian came back from the cave, her wings had not been exposed even when flying in the air, but now they were exposed. One of Pianpian's wings is brown, and the other is dark yellow, and it seems that it will turn brown soon.
Aguan suddenly felt that his nose was sore, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his eyes.
He turned into the small tent on the side and walked around inside. The furnishings in this tent were exactly the same as when Pian Pian came to live there before. He walked to the small bed and was in a daze for a while. It was on this bed that he hugged half of Pian Pian's body, which was decaying.
"Hmm..." Aguan squatted down holding his head.
Lin Shan, who followed into the tent, quickly stepped forward to help him up and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"My head hurts..." Aguan raised his head and said, "It's been like this all day long... I don't know if it's Tai Suiye..."
Lin Shan reached out and patted the back of his head, sending a few rays of yellow light into the back of Aguan's head. Lin Shan helped Aguan out of the small tent, came to the big tent, and helped him onto the bed.
"I can't sleep...I haven't been able to sleep well these past few nights. The dream last night was so scary. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw scary things, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember..." Aguan looked at him distressedly. Looking at Lin Shan.
"Perhaps the Tai Sui power in your body has made new progress." Lin Shan exhaled and said, "You should have told me earlier that I know how to control dreams. If you tell me, I will help you get rid of nightmares. La."
Aguan remained silent, and Lin Shan drew a talisman on his forehead. Aguan felt that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, as if he had entered a cloud made of light. After a while, he fell asleep. In his dream, he saw some colored lights flowing, which seemed to be a beautiful dream.
The morning air in the cave had a fresh fragrance. Aguan lay on a hillside, inhaled the fragrant air, and picked up the fruit to eat. He looked at the birds playing in the sky and felt that there seemed to be no worries or disputes here, everything was fine.
"It would be great if Artest could come too..." Aguan sat up.
Lin Shan smiled slightly and said: "The spirits competed with the mortals for land, and lost the battle to the mortals. The creation of the cave was to give the spirits a home. The spirits in the cave don't have a good impression of mortals... This time I can let my aunt in. , I have already given you enough face...”
It turned out that at Aguan's request, the tree god agreed to let Yue'e live in the cave until the mortal world passed the catastrophe. There are many fox spirits in the cave who know how to control dreams, so Lin Shan doesn't have to worry about Yue'e's dream.
Aguan followed Lin Shan to a tent, where her mother was lying on the bed. The blind vixen on the side was trimming Yue'e's nails.
The blind fox spirit also obtained the consent of the tree god, allowing him to live in the cave for a long time, accompanying and taking care of Yue'e.
After sending his mother into the cave, Aguan finally let go of his heavy heart.
As they walked, they arrived at the mouth of the circular valley. Aguan and Lin Shan were about to leave the cave and go back to guard the stronghold. After a night of fun, Feiding and other generals left the cave early in the morning, returned to the main camp to bring out Tiger Lord and Shishi, and then went to the south to support Taibai Star and Yinghuo Star.
As for the spirits and others, they can still take a few days off and then return to the White Stone Pagoda to wait.
Aguan looked back at the cave sky. Although he was reluctant to leave, he also felt that it was better to leave quickly. This was a beautiful but sad place.
The tree god had already been waiting in front of the circular valley entrance, followed by only a few attendants.
Aguan was flattered and quickly stepped forward to say hello. The tree god Granny smiled kindly, stretched out her hand to touch Aguan's forehead, with a little surprise and reluctance in her eyes.
"My child, don't think too much at night, go to bed early..." The tree goddess took out something from the baggage she carried and hung it around Aguan's neck. It was a necklace.
The necklace is made up of many shiny black stones. The black stones are large and small. If you look closely, you will find that there seems to be liquid flowing inside. Every five or six black stones are mixed with a fang-shaped white stone.
"Huh? This..." Aguan looked at the necklace around his neck in confusion.
"Don't look at the black color. This is 'Qing Ning'. Wear it often and don't take it off when taking a shower. You will never have nightmares again." The tree god's mother-in-law smiled, turned to Lin Shan and said: "Xiao Qiucao'er, you are responsible for taking care of Tai Sui, Bei, so don't neglect it. Although Tai Sui is trained with evil thoughts, Bei is just a child. No one knows what impact the early release of the seal will have on the child's mind. Yesterday I felt his uneasiness and sadness at night, so you have to be careful and don't put too much pressure on him. If something goes wrong and you can't control the evil thoughts, you will let the evil thoughts corrode his soul."
"Yes!" Lin Shan said respectfully: "I will do my best to take care of Mr. Tai Sui."
Aguan was very grateful. It turned out that the tree god had already discovered that he was causing nightmares and gave him this treasure. He followed Lin Shan towards the exit, turning back from time to time and bowing to the tree god repeatedly before letting Lin Shan in and out.
On the way back, Aguan rode a stone fire wheel and played with the necklace called "Qing Ning" around his neck from time to time. The water flowing in the black stones sometimes flows faster and sometimes slower, as if it is alive.
Soon after returning to the streets of the central city, Aguan stopped the car at a traffic light and waited for the red light to turn green.
A middle-aged bald man wearing cassocks and dressed as a monk narrowed his eyes and happily crossed the road. The monk approached Aguan and raised the bowl he was holding in both hands: "I am destined to have a good relationship."
Aguan was stunned. He had experienced many adventures, and was sometimes suspicious and wary. Suddenly he saw this strange-looking monk, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Lin Shan, who was in the back seat, didn't say anything. She just waved her hand to reject the monk.
