146, Guardian of the Paradise (Happy National Day)
On a wide circular stone platform, two figures were standing.
This square stone platform is also built on the top of a mountain, surrounded by blue sky.
In front of the stone platform, there is a stone staircase extending upward, one by one leading to the top, like a ladder to the sky. The end is covered by a vast white mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
Lin Changsong looked up at the end of the ladder to heaven, staring at the white mist, and could vaguely see the outline of a mysterious and endless palace.
Next to him stood an old man in civilian clothes, leaning on a cane.
The old man's hair has fallen out and his face is covered with wrinkles.
But the old man's eyes were as bright as light, as if he could see through everything.
The voice that sounded just now was naturally said by the old man in civilian clothes.
At this time, the commoner old man stood aside and waited quietly, giving Zubayashi Changsong time to think.
Lin Changsong looked at the outline of the palace and did not give an immediate answer.
He remembered what he saw after crossing that path three days ago.
It is completely a picture of paradise.
There is a towering mountain peak in the distance, a thatched house built at the foot of the mountain, rice fields, rivers, vegetable gardens, etc.
When Lin Changsong walked into this paradise, he was immediately surprised to find that the sky and the earth, as well as the mountain peaks and rivers, etc., were self-contained and completely isolated from the outside world.
It's like a small world.
Then Lin Changsong walked on the ridge of the field. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became and the more incredible he felt.
Then the commoner old man appeared, smiled and invited him into the thatched cottage for a chat.
In the next three days, Lin Changsong also learned some unknown secrets from the common man's narration.
It turned out that the small world he entered by accident was one of the thirty-six small caves in the Dragon Kingdom, Qingtian Cave!
"First Evolution"
The first generation guardian of this cave was Master Fu!
The commoner old man is Cui Zhi, the eighth-generation guardian of Qingtian Cave.
In the more than fifty years he has been guarding Qingtian Cave, Lin Changsong is not the first person to accidentally enter this small cave.
Before Lin Changsong came in, six ordinary people came.
It's just that none of those six ordinary people are willing to become the next generation of guardians.
So after erasing their memories, Cui Zhi sent them away from Qingtian Cave and back to real life.
After all, the notes left by Master Fu clearly mentioned that the guardians inherited by future generations must be willing to protect the peace of Kyushu.
Otherwise, you can’t force it!
Generations of guardians have inherited it, and they all follow Master Fu's will.
That's why Cui Zhi asked the question just now.
Lin Changsong also learned that the Cave Heaven Paradise of the Dragon Kingdom is in a strange space. It is not easy to enter by just entering. It requires a certain amount of opportunity.
Just like him, he accidentally fell into a cave and entered this small cave.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Dragon Kingdom may never encounter this opportunity in their lifetime.
And once they meet, there are many people who are not willing to stay alone in such a cave.
Because life is too monotonous and boring.
Just like the six ordinary people who refused to inherit before, this is the case.
Lin Changsong also asked Cui Zhi if he could leave the cave after becoming a guardian.
Cui Zhi’s answer to him at that time was, “You can’t leave!
But you can use external communication methods to tell your family members about your current living situation.
In addition, you are not allowed to reveal the information about you here to anyone, otherwise you will be deprived of your status as a successor, expelled from the cave, and will have no chance of ever having access to the paradise of the Dragon Kingdom for the rest of your life!"
Lin Changsong's ears echoed with the words of the commoner old man, and then he thought of his father whose body was taken over by alien creatures, and his son who was taken away by the Security Department personnel.
Lin Changsong clenched his fists and slowly loosened them, finally making the decision in his heart.
Then he exhaled, turned to look at the old man in cloth clothes, and spoke with burning eyes.
His voice was like thunder, containing a clanging will that spread in all directions, causing the mysterious palace at the end of the stone steps to resonate.
"I, Lin Changsong, am willing to accept the inheritance of Master Fu and become the ninth generation guardian of Qingtian Cave!
I am also willing to guard Jiuzhou and protect the peace of the Dragon Kingdom!"
…
At this moment, inside the Chaozong Temple on Tianzhu Peak.
As Zhang Dingxian asked that question.
Guo Yunxiao and Xie Shixiu both stared at Meng Gungun.
Obviously they are also curious, what does "guardian" mean?
Meng Gungun took another bite of the fishing bamboo pole and had already eaten half of it. It looked like he would finish it soon.
There was a hint of reminiscence in its eyes, and it began to explain.
"Today, in the Dragon Kingdom, you are the only guardian of the lineage, and the other guardians have all withered away.
Before the guardians appeared, there were still guardians on this land, guarding the ten major caves, the thirty-six small caves and the seventy-two blessed lands of the Dragon Kingdom.
Of course, there are many defenders now, but they can't live in seclusion.
Perhaps only when we reach this land and face a critical moment of life and death will those guardians appear."
Hear this answer.
Zhang Dingxian, Guo Yunxiao and Xie Shixiu were shocked on the spot with their eyes wide open.
Zhang Dingxian even subconsciously shouted, "Is it a real person?!"
As for the three peaks of the world of human cultivation, they naturally know about the paradise of the Dragon Kingdom.
We first learned about it from the Map of the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld.
It has been recorded in detail above about some situations in Dongtian Paradise.
“The blessed land of Cave Heaven has a long-lasting scenery, and there are mountains and rivers where the sun and moon never sleep.
There is also the Baoshan Terrace, which is bright all year round.
There is also a golden pot containing the wine of immortality, and colored glass containing the elixir of longevity.
The fragrant flowers of the peach trees fade once a thousand years, and the knots of precious clouds bloom over thousands of years."
As for the practitioners of the Dragon Kingdom, they first discovered treasure-hiding places, including the existence of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
For example, the training base of Longmen Academy is Luofu Cave, one of the top ten caves.
They have also been to some cave heaven paradises and know that there are traces of real people inside.
But other than that, they had no other gains.
But I didn't expect that I would hear such an amazing truth today.
It turns out that there are guardians in the Cave Heaven Paradise?
And what they thought were traces of real people were actually the traces of life left by the guardians who had inherited the Cave Heaven Paradise for generations?
This truth is really amazing!
It also broke the perceptions of Zhang Dingxian and the other three.
It wasn't until a while later that they came back to their senses and looked at each other, still feeling shocked and incredible.
Then Zhang Dingxian spoke again, "Senior, why do those guardians you mentioned guarding these caves and blessed lands?"
