The evolution of butterfly cocoons takes a certain amount of time, and there is no hurry. Qiao Yang sighed, carefully put away the butterfly cocoon, and placed it properly, just waiting for it to hatch quietly.

......

Life returned to calm, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Qiao Yang enjoyed a few days of rural life, and soon ushered in the village's grandest day of the year - the temple fair.

In ancient times, people relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, and food and clothing were still a problem, and occasionally encountered the attacks of fierce beasts, and their lives were even more difficult.

One day, a powerful demon beast passed through this village, helping the villagers to kill the beasts that attacked the village, people thought that the gods appeared, and they were grateful for the protection of the big demon beast, and built a temple for it.

Moved by the enthusiasm and simplicity of the villagers, the monster decided to stay here, and then guarded the peace of the water and soil for a hundred years.

At the end of each year, after a whole year of hard work, people will organize together to offer tribute like demon beasts, praying for good weather and a good harvest in the coming year. This custom was slowly passed down and evolved into what is now known as the temple fair.

......

On the day of the temple fair, Qiao Yang got up early in the morning and checked the cocooned Yue Yao Butterfly as usual, but unfortunately there was still no movement, which couldn't help but make him a little disappointed, and he didn't know how long this sleepy little guy would have to sleep.

Carefully put the butterfly cocoon into his pocket, Qiao Yang went out. Outside the house, many villagers have gathered, dancing red and green, and it is very lively.

"Old Zhao Tou has a good New Year~"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year~"

"Isn't this the Wang family's Xiaoxiazi, who also got up so early?"

"Well, I came for my mother and prepared rice cakes for worship. ”

......

The village is not big, and the neighbors know each other very well, and they all greet each other warmly at this time.

According to the custom, the annual temple fair is organized by the village chief, and after everyone is ready, the village chief leads everyone to set off to the mountain temple in the back mountain.

Qiao Yang saw an old man in a stone blue cloth shirt in the crowd, his hair was a little gray, his eyes were in good spirits, his body was slightly thin, and the whole person looked very tough. Next to the old man's leg, stood a bone demon beast, the skeleton dog.

This should be the village chief, Qiao Yang said secretly, I really have to find a chance to thank the village chief for the skull bone powder, after all, without the help of the village chief, it would be impossible to find the mutation materials needed by Qi Yue Yao Butterfly in a short time.

Seeing that there were almost no one coming, the village chief clapped his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, organized the young men in the village, carried a large iron plate with a diameter of more than one meter, and prepared to set off towards the mountain temple. On the plate were freshly cooked pigs, cows and sheep, and they were steaming white.

The village chief led the strong man carrying the tribute and walked in the front, and the rest of the villagers followed sparsely, and the team formed a long line. Qiao Yang followed at the end of the line, with his hands in his pockets, walking unhurriedly.

Qiao Yang was very curious about where the demon beasts that had been worshiped for hundreds of years were sacred. He secretly asked his grandfather, but his grandfather didn't know, he also heard the elders mention that the demon beast was called the mountain god, and he lived on the back mountain, and it was a very powerful demon beast.

The mountain behind the village is a small hill, the mountain is not high and not dangerous, there is only one way to go up and down the mountain, such a small mountain, not to mention high-level demon beasts, even beasts are difficult to have one, Qiao Yang is actually very suspicious of the legend of powerful demon beasts, it is just made up by people.

Halfway up the mountain, Qiao Yang saw the grave of the kind old grandmother again, the offerings in front of the grave had been replaced with fresh ones, obviously someone in front of the team deliberately placed them, he was a little embarrassed, he secretly pried some soil a few days ago, it shouldn't have been discovered......

Qiao Yang fell behind with a weak heart, but fortunately, he was at the end of the crane, and no one found out. He bowed respectfully to the grave three times in a row, and then trotted again to keep up with the large army.

After a while, the front of the line had stopped walking, and it seemed that they had reached the temple. Qiao Yang quickened his pace, wanting to see the true face of Lushan in this demon beast temple.

It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is just a small stone house, and the stone walls are covered with moss, some of which are blackened, and you can see the traces of erosion over time. There is no gate in the stone house, and there is a simple stone plaque in the house, and there are two big characters engraved on the stone plaque - mountain god. There is a stone incense trough in front of the stone plaque, and many villagers have already inserted incense

The village chief was directing the people to place the offerings outside the house, and inside the house there were villagers kneeling on the ground with their hands folded and praying sincerely.

Suddenly, a milky white glow appeared, rushing into the body of a villager who had just finished worshipping and was about to get up. Qiao Yang's eyes widened, and he looked at the man in astonishment, but the man left the stone temple without realizing it, and went to the door to help the village chief sort out the offerings, and the villagers who worshiped together next to him were not unusual, and they were wearing incense as usual.

What's going on, Qiao Yang is puzzled, can only he see it?

At the same time that Qiao Yang was stunned, another ball of light rushed into the villagers' bodies, and this time Qiao Yang saw clearly that the light was flying from the stone plaque!

Looking at the stone plaque again, it turned out to be a small white bird standing on top of the stone plaque. The bird's head is a phoenix-shaped crest, and its tail feathers are very long, reflecting colorful splendor in the sunlight. The size of the bird beast was so petite, no wonder Fang didn't notice it.

As Qiao Yang gazed at the bird, the illustrated book appeared above the bird's head.

【Mountain God】

[Attribute: Mystic/Holy Light]

[Rank: Emperor Level]

[Introduction: After the death of the demon beast, the spirit born with the soul condensation power has the power of faith.] 】

......

This is the mountain god!!This is actually an emperor-level demon beast!!Beyond the prince-level emperor-level!!

But any emperor-level demon beast either has the ability to call the wind and rain to drive thunder and lightning, or has the powerful power to turn the mountains and the sea upside down! Qiao Yang was shocked, staring at the demon beast in front of him, he never thought that the small village would really be blessed by such a powerful demon beast.

"Yes, I am the god of the mountains. ”

A bass voice sounded in Qiao Yang's mind, the voice was warm and magnetic, and after listening to it, it seemed to be purified from the bottom of his heart.

Qiao Yang was taken aback again, and he found that his head couldn't turn a little after experiencing a series of shocks.

"It's not hard to talk to people. The bass continued, with a teasing tone.

Mind Reading, Mysterious Magic?As a mountain god, it is not strange to be able to read minds if you want to listen to prayers, Qiao Yang was not too surprised by this, or rather, too much surprise had made Qiao Yang numb.

"You're right. The mountain god also acquiesced in Qiao Yang's thoughts, and then said, "Are you also a demon tamer?" ”

"Hmm. Qiao Yang nodded, and also tried to talk to the mountain god with the thoughts in his heart.

"That's good...... "The mountain god's voice became a little sad, and after a pause, he said, "You are very similar to him, my master, and he is also a demon tamer......
