Chapter 63 Mountain God
Early morning.

Before the hunters entered the mountain, the two figures left the village early and headed for Qingyuan Mountain.

"Qingyuan Mountain used to be protected by a mountain god."

"But one time after a bloody rain fell, the statues in the mountain temple were destroyed, and the mountain god never appeared again."

"My village in Liujia relies on the mountains, and in the past I made many offerings to the mountain gods of Qingyuan Mountain."

"So even if the mountain god no longer appears, we in Liujia Village will not go hunting in Qingyuan Mountain. This is a rule left by our ancestors."

On the way, Uncle Dong and Liu Qing told the past events of Qingyuan Mountain.

Liu Qing was quite shocked when he heard this.

After all, the theory of mountain gods has been as illusory as the immortals in heaven for as long as he can remember.

Driving fast all the way, the elderly Uncle Dong soon became out of breath.

But he didn't slow down, he still gritted his teeth and kept walking at a fast speed.

"After passing the mountain col in front, you can see Qingyuan Mountain."

Holding an old tree, Uncle Dong spoke out of breath.

At this time, it was less than half an hour before the two left the village, and it was just when the sun was rising.

"Uncle Dong, how about I carry you on my back? It will go faster this way."

Knowing that Uncle Dong is stronger, Liu Qing deliberately said that he could recite him faster.

Sure enough, when Uncle Dong, who wanted to refuse, heard the latter sentence, he sighed and said:

"Well, if it's because I'm late, it will be troublesome."

Seeing that Uncle Dong agreed, Liu Qing immediately squatted in front of him, lifted the old Uncle Dong on his back, and strode forward to the col in front.

After passing the col, Uncle Dong on his back suddenly said:
"Huh? Where is Qingyuan Mountain?"

Liu Qing looked sideways at Uncle Dong in confusion, only to see that Uncle Dong's old face was full of confusion.

Following Uncle Dong's gaze, he saw that it was empty except for a bamboo forest.

"Uncle Dong, you didn't remember the wrong direction, did you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I remember the surrounding mountains better than you, which hay nest has rabbits and which cave has native bears!"

"What about Qingyuan Mountain?"

"How do I know what's going on? Maybe it was the mountain god who moved the whole mountain away. It's all your fault. The mountain ghost came to report the letter and didn't say it earlier. The mountain god gave us a chance to escape, and it was all destroyed by you. Already!"

Being scolded by Uncle Dong, Liu Qing bowed his head resentfully, not mentioning that Uncle Dong suspected all of this was a conspiracy by the mountain ghost last night.

After all, he was an orphan because he had to pee, and it was Uncle Dong who brought him up, so he wouldn't talk back to him over such a trivial matter.

But after Uncle Dong scolded him, just as he wanted Liu Qing to let him down, he suddenly saw clouds and mist appearing in front of him.

The pale golden morning light penetrated the clouds and mist, revealing the majestic green peak inside.

The scene that looked like a fairy's home made Uncle Dong couldn't help but say:

"Qingyuan Mountain! Qingyuan Mountain is still here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black mist flying out of the mountain, falling in front of the two of them, turning into a mountain ghost.

Liu Qing subconsciously clenched the hunting knife, looking warily at the mountain ghost in front of him.

Uncle Dong also jumped off Liu Qing's back and bowed with one hand:
"But where is the mountain god?"

"Exactly, I am the protector of Qingyuan Mountain conferred by the master of the mountain god. The master of the mountain god is merciful, let you hurry up to the mountain, if you are late, it will be too late."

After a pause, Shan Ling said in a deep voice:

"This beast swarm is unprecedented. Not only the ground, but also the sky and the ground are full of wild beasts. There is no possibility of escape."

Uncle Dong and Liu Qing looked at each other, and when they were about to say something, they saw a flock of birds flying from the horizon, densely packed like ants crawling into the sky.

"The beast tide is coming, don't delay any longer!"

The mountain ghost said, turned into black mist, rolled up the two of them, and quickly flew back to the village.

And the two who were brought back to the village by the mountain ghost also saw some wild beasts rushing out from all over the village, and the chickens and dogs in the village were startled to bark.

Shan Ling stopped at the entrance of the village and said to the two: "Call the child over here, I can take the child back to the mountain first."

"Thank you, Lord Protector."

Uncle Dong thanked him, then turned to Liu Qing and said, "Split up and call someone, hurry up!"

Liu Qing responded and immediately ran in different directions with Uncle Dong.

Shao Qing also saw that something was wrong with the villagers and rushed to the entrance of the village with their children.

Looking at the strange-looking mountain spirit, the women and children were all a little worried and did not dare to let go of their children.

But Uncle Dong’s voice came from behind:
"What are you waiting for? Quickly hand the doll to the protector and ask him to take them to Qingyuan Mountain first!"

At this time, the hunters who had not entered the mountain for a long time also rushed back one after another.

After all, there were more beasts in the mountains today than yesterday, no matter how stupid they were, they would have thought there was something wrong.

Seeing the mountain spirit and the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village, they immediately remembered that the mountain spirit came to report the news yesterday, and they gathered one after another.

"It turns out that the beast tide is real."

“Isn’t the mountain god of Qingyuan Mountain gone long ago?”

"What should I do now?"

Uncle Dong snorted:
"You bastards, this is the guardian of the mountain god. Yesterday, the guardian kindly reminded you, but you didn't take it to heart. Fortunately, the mountain god didn't blame you. Hurry up and make amends."

The Orions looked at each other, and when they wanted to say something, Shan Ling said:

"I will take the children to go first, and you will follow behind. Hurry up, the real beast tide is not far away."

Hearing this, the women and children all looked at their men.

After seeing all the hunters nodding, he let go of the child.

The mountain spirit turned into black mist, rolled up the timid child, and flew towards Qingyuan Mountain.

The hunters didn't dare to delay when they saw this, they grabbed their wives and ran after them.

At this time, there are more and more birds in the sky, almost covering the sky and covering the earth.

The sound of flapping wings filled the ears, and everyone's faces turned pale.

Because as the number of birds increased, the ground also began to vibrate slightly, as if the sound of beating a drum came from a distance.

Everyone living in the mountains knew that it was the tremor and movement caused by too many wild beasts rushing at the same time.

Looking back, I saw the trees on the hilltop toppling behind and billowing yellow smoke rising.

"Run! Run!"

Some Orion yelled, causing everyone to look back, and they screamed in fright.

But they saw jackals, mountain tigers, mountain bears, pythons, hares, mountain apes and other wild beasts rushing out from behind them.

Most people in the village have never seen such a scene of ferocious beasts attacking.

Some women and children were so frightened that their feet became weak. They were picked up by their own men and carried on their backs, and they ran wildly after the black mist of the mountain spirit.

At this time, they were very fortunate that the children were taken by Shan Ling.

Otherwise, in such a panic, there would be no energy left to run around with the children.

And the mountain spirit flying in front didn't pull away too far. From time to time, it used the power of the mountain god's protector to manipulate some mountain rocks to move, blocking the beasts that were rushing straight at the villagers, and preventing them from being trampled to death before they reached Qingyuan Mountain.

In less than half an hour, everyone running with all their strength arrived in front of a wide grassland.

This place is very strange. When a large number of running wild animals arrive here, they will take detours, and even the birds in the sky will deliberately avoid it.

Shan Ling put down the child, bowed and said, "Master, the little one is back."

As soon as it finished speaking, everyone saw the clouds rising.

A towering green peak appeared in the originally broad grassland.

Halfway up the mountainside of Qingfeng, there is a dilapidated temple.

Above the temple, there stands a bright figure holding the seal of the mountain god in one hand.
