Facing the words of the mountain god, Qiao Yang didn't know how to answer for a while, but fortunately, the mountain god didn't bother much.

"Can you talk to me? The mountain god asked suddenly.

"Good. Qiao Yang nodded obediently. Although it was strange that the mountain god's sudden request, he didn't refuse rashly, the other party was too powerful, and there was no malice, just chatting.

"Really? Thank you. Seeing Qiao Yang's answer, the mountain god looked very happy, and even his tone was childish.

It looked Qiao Yang up and down again, and then said, "You're not from the village, I don't seem to have seen you before." ”

Nodding, Qiao Yang explained: "I'm not from here, my grandfather lives in the village, and I came to accompany him for the New Year this year." ”

"That's right. The mountain god groaned, followed by a long silence.

“......”

“......”

Qiao Yang and the mountain god looked at each other with big eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"I'm sorry, I haven't spoken to humans in a long time, and I've forgotten what humans are supposed to talk about in normal conversations. The mountain god said apologetically.

Qiao Yang pursed his lips and nodded in understanding, it was also the first time he had chatted with a demon beast!

It happened that another villager finished worshipping, respectfully inserted three sticks of incense into the incense trough, and then turned to leave. Qiao Yang was very curious, why others couldn't see the mountain god, only he could see it.

The mountain god smiled, "I am a spirit body, born in a prayer, only a demon tamer with strong spiritual power can see this kind of wishing power, and can see me" paused, and looked at Qiao Yang again, "The village is too small, and there are not many people, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, you are the first." ”

After so many years, he was actually the first? Qiao Yang was a little shocked, and a little emotional, a thousand years of time is indeed not long for some long-lived demon beasts, but there are really few demon beasts that can endure the loneliness of this thousand years like the mountain god. He suddenly wondered why such a powerful demon beast would guard the small village for so long.

Seeing through Qiao Yang's thoughts, the mountain god smiled heartily again, but there was a bit of loneliness and helplessness in this laughter.

"Because of a wish. ”

"Wish?"

The mountain god looked into the distance, squinted slightly, as if caught in the memories of the year, and opened the conversation: "My master became famous as a young man, and I am his first contract pet beast. At that time, he was dressed in brocade, heroic horses, and full of spirit. But because his personality is too upright, he has provoked many enemies and suffered a lot. The mountain god's tone was a little proud and a little reproachful, but more of it was a strong nostalgia, a reminiscence of the past.

"I have been with him, eaten, drunk and dewed, and accompanied him from obscurity to fame. Passing through thousands of rivers and mountains, conquering many landscapes, challenging powerful opponents in the imperial city, looking for treasures in secret realms, and snuggling together in the snow-capped mountains to keep warm...... We've all been through it together. The mountain god's voice became lower and lower, and gradually became lonely.

"It was one of my happiest days, and I was always convinced that meeting my destined demon tamer was the best destination for every demon beast, and I was so glad to have met him. ”

"However, the world is impermanent, and an outbreak of the secret realm caused the nearby beasts to be agitated, and a large-scale beast tide began to attack the human settlement. This small village is no exception, it has also been affected by the animal tide. ”

"There is no strong person in a small village, and in the face of such a natural disaster, there is almost no chance of survival. ”

"We were just passing through that day, and when he saw the ruined village full of devastation and devastation, he decided that he couldn't leave it alone. He's such a brainless person, jealous and hateful, and too kind. ”

"It's also to blame that I didn't protect him, when he was fighting with the beast, he was seriously injured, and he had time to be treated in the future, and finally fell ......into the battle" In the eyes of the mountain god, a deep self-blame and indissoluble sadness emerged.

"After the tide of beasts subsided, the small village was saved. I buried it in the back mountain, and I was laid to rest, and I wanted to accompany him. ”

"If he wants to protect this village, I will protect it, and his wish is my wish, and this is the purpose of my existence from now on. ”

"The villagers thanked me and offered me an offering, and absorbed enough will and faith to make me what I am now. ”

The mountain god told a long story, Qiao Yang listened to it with emotion, and was willing to endure boundless loneliness, just to fulfill the master's last wish, such a deep relationship between the demon tamer and the demon beast made people sigh.

"Actually, I noticed you when you sneakily came to the mountains to steal soil a few days ago. ”

"Cough ......" Qiao Yang coughed dryly, feeling embarrassed to be caught as a thief, and hurriedly explained: "This ...... There's a reason for that. ”

"I know, because of the resistance to the beast tide, I don't know how many demon beasts were buried on this mountain, and my demon beast body was also corrupted in the mountain and became a part of the mountain, and it is not surprising that your pet beast needs this rotten breath to evolve. ”

Qiao Yang suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, the grave soil said that it was the tomb where the demon beast was buried, but he didn't expect that he had made the right choice by mistake.

"Your eyebrows and eyes look very similar to his, what's your name?" the mountain god looked at Qiao Yang and asked.

"Qiao Yang. ”

Reciting Qiao Yang's name, the mountain god was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Qiao Yang...... Like a fiery sun, a good name. Being able to see me shows that you have strong mental power, and you are very talented as a demon tamer. ”

"A little gift to you, thank you for listening to me say so much. The mountain god waved his wings, and a milky white light group separated from the long tail of the mountain god, and flew towards Qiao Yang, the light group stopped in front of Qiao Yang's body, and then the Huamang gradually dispersed, and a feather emerged, the feathers were white and translucent, with an illusory texture, slightly fluorescent, and gorgeous and abnormal.

"This is my tail feather, and I have a weak will, so I might be able to help you. ”

"Please be kind to your pet beast, it looks ...... Very dependent on you......"

Qiao Yang took the feather and nodded solemnly. Even if the mountain god doesn't say it, Qiao Yang will do it, for him, pet beasts are not tools to become stronger, they are friends who will accompany him for life.

After thanking the mountain god, Qiao Yang said goodbye to the temple and embarked on the return journey.

【Mountain God Tail Feather】

[Emperor-level material, limited to the use of holy light demon beasts, with the wish power of the mountain god, may be able to fulfill the wish. 】

......

Along the way, Qiao Yang was reminiscing about the story of the mountain god, and the deep emotional bond between the demon beast and the demon trainer was also fascinating. Feeling out the butterfly cocoon in the bag, the oval cocoon was oily and moist like obsidian, stroking the cocoon, sighing, when will this little guy hatch.
