The Reward for completing all Riddles is the Immortal Mist Pond Base that is a land base and will be worth 9 votes in the Farm Beauty Contest if you do not have maximum votes yet for theme. If you care about the Contest, it is well worth using RC to complete the riddles and claim the base for your initial screenshot for the Contest. If it boosts your vote count by 9 each day, you will have earned either 180 or 189 theme votes by the end of the Contest. High level players can obtain at least 1 RC daily using green mystrons. More are earned randomly from the Daily Path Chests, your Pet chests and other regular tasks.
Note from Freyashawk: I organise my farm to try to reach 6000 by the end of the Contest but I cannot attain ANY Rank without neighbour votes. My primary farm is HM. Freyashawk and the name under which I have written guides for over three decades is Freyashawk. Please consider sending your votes to HM. Freyashawk to keep my site visible to ALL players. I make no money from this site. I do not allow advertising and it is freely visible to every one.
Also, if you wish to join my FB group, I only accept farmers who use this site and preferably those who have a friend in my group. So if you send a request, please mention those particulars and I will accept you. I am not trying to gain followers at this point in my life. There are a million FB groups now. Unless you specifically find what I do of value, there is no reason to join my group. I do post a few strategy tips in my group but they always are published here as well in my walkthroughs.
Thanks to all who have voted for HM. Freyashawk in these contests. I have been updating this site by myself for over a decade.
The story of Ne Zha 2, the most popular film in China and much of the world now:
The original Ne Zha is based on the 16th century book, 'Fengshen Yanyi' or Investiture of the Gods.
In the legend, the young boy Ne Zha is born from a heavenly pearl from the Primeval Lord of Heaven who had separated the original sentient pearl into two: a Spirit Pearl and a Demon Orb. Unfortunately, Ne Zha is born from the Demon Orb when a disciple takes that pearl to his mother and takes the Spirit Pearl against instructions to the Dragon King. Ne Zha's parents deceive him, declaring he was born from the Spirit Pearl in irder to imspire him to become a hero. Like most children who are a little different, he is treated as an outcast and both hated and feared. Prophecy declares he will bring destruction to the world. He therefore is required to break the shackles of this fate to become a hero.
Ultimately, the message in the firat film is Ne Zha's refusal to acceot his destiny to be a demon. He chooses instead to be a saviour.
Meanwhile, the Dragon King gives birth to a son, Ao Bing. Later, Ne Zha and Ao Bing become friends and hunt demons together for a time.
It is a rich and complex tale. Ne Zha is doomed to be destroyed in three year's time as the manifestation of Chaos, but ultimately, Ne Zhe's father pleads for his son's life, desiring to trade his life for his.
Ao Bing, the son of the Dragon realises that, should his possession of the Spirit Pearl be revealed, all of Dragonkind will be condemned forever.
In a reversal of character, Ao Bing commits an evil and Ne Zha acts as a hero, and then spares the life of his friend.
At the end of the original film, Ao Bing and Ne Sha join forces, absorbing the energy of the Chaos Pearl to defeat a lightning strike from heaven. Their physical bodies cannot survive, but their sacrifice saves the people and they become spirits.
I have watched the original film. I am not a fan either of this style of animation nor the comefic vulgarities that so enchant some children, but apart from that, the film is very inspiring. The mother in particular is a very strong female character who acts as a warrior and a protector of her child. In fact, both parents unconditionally love their son. I intend to watch Ne Sha 2 when it is accessible to me.
Essentially, the legend addresses many profound themes and one of those is the ability to choose between Good and Evil, despite the 'doom' under which one is born. There are legends in the West that deal with the same conflicts. The friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu has some parallels here.
(For me personally, it brings to mind a wonderful Japanese game from the past, Rune Factory Frontier, that ends with a victory through the power of combined singing that is unforgettable.)
