He Qin said that he would take everyone to see the real "one-eyed mountain monster", which made everyone quite nervous... There are all kinds of exotic flowers and grasses in this mountain that have never been seen outside the mountain, let alone any real monsters.

I followed the old man out of the village, passed through several woods, and walked until I reached a small valley.

The old man pointed at something in the stone valley and motioned for everyone to take a look, "Do you see it? The Mountain Demon's Cage!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and their eyes widened in surprise - they saw a huge stone cage in front of them, shaped like a bird cage, and as big as a Meow Meow Tower.

The entire "cage" is made of ruggedite and metal. It has a rough texture but looks very simple, just like the ruggedite jewelry in Zhan Zhao's hands.

However, compared to the cage, what's inside the cage is more surprising.

This cage is stacked with gold and silver jewelry as high as a hill, which are shining brightly... Under the sunlight, the whole thing is so dazzling that people can't open their eyes.

Everyone turned to look at He Qin - could this be the cage of the mountain demon?

He Qin smiled, pointed at the cage and said, "Baiya Mountain is rich in rainstone. Although this stone is not particularly hard, it is very tough, somewhat like wood, and is very suitable for building houses. Although there are many stones in the mountains,

There are many trees, but most of them are vines. Moreover, the humidity here is very high, and houses made of wood are prone to deformation and decay. But the sky above is very dry, so the wood is used to build tree houses.

After the rugged stone is fixed with metal, it is particularly suitable for building the frame of a house. The house built in this way is stable and moisture-proof."

Everyone understood it, no wonder the houses in the village were all made of eucalyptus.

But right now, no one has grasped the key point - the cage of the mountain demon is a cage filled with gold and silver treasures? What about the mountain demon?

Zhan Zhao was just wondering when He Qin suddenly handed him a stick.

Zhan Zhao took the rolling pin-like stick in confusion, and the others also thought - they just saw many villagers carrying such a stick with them.

Zhan Zhao was studying the use of this stick, when suddenly from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of something crawling on the white back of Fifth Master's clothes.

Bai Yutang also felt as if someone pulled the hem of his clothes. He thought it was the fourth son, but Zhao Pu was clearly holding the fourth son next to him.

Bai Yutang turned around, and Zhan Zhao also came closer. When the two of them lowered their heads, they saw a big eye - the one-eyed mountain demon!

The mountain demon appeared behind the Fifth Master, although it was only as big as a cat... He also stretched out a small hand and touched the Fifth Master's butt with a slightly obscene expression...

"Ah..." Zhan Zhao raised the rolling pin and started beating.

Then, a series of "squeaking" sounds were heard.

Everyone saw a mouse as big as a cat jump off the hem of Wu Ye's clothes, and Zhan Zhao chased it with a rolling pin.

The mouse moved extremely fast, scurrying around the crowd like flying over the walls, but Zhan Zhao couldn't hold it back and moved very fast, and instantly the crowd became a mess.

And the weirdest thing is... that mouse actually has the face of a one-eyed mountain demon! It's even uglier than it looks in the portrait and mask.

The fifth master shook the hem of his shirt in disgust, and the fourth son suddenly tilted his head... Thinking of the previous dream, Zhan Zhao was chasing an invisible old man with a rolling pin and beating him.

And now the big rat was running so fast that you couldn't even see its face, and there was a tuft of gray-white hair on its head. It really looked like a little old man...

He Qin waved his hands helplessly.

Several old men were almost knocked unconscious by Zhan Zhao.

Tianzun reached out and grabbed the back of the big rat's neck, and Yin Hou reached out and grabbed the collar of the back of his grandson's neck.

Zhan Zhao was still unwilling to give in. He held up the rolling pin and said he would beat up the lecherous mouse.

The big rat had just been hit on the head and had a bulge. It seemed to be quite angry and kept barking at Zhan Zhao.

Tianzun looked at the struggling rat in his hand and felt a little disgusted, so he threw it to Yao Changtian.

Yao Changtian was at a loss while holding the mouse, when the mouse suddenly stretched out his hand, as if to touch Lu Tianhan beside him.

Yao Changtian threw the mouse on the ground and stepped on it to death.

"Alas!" Xiao Sizi and He Qin both shouted. Fortunately, the White Dragon King was quick and picked up the mouse.

The mouse seemed to be honest now, with his two little hands drooped, being held up by the White Dragon King.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked carefully.

This mouse is larger than the average domestic cat, and the most amazing thing is that its face looks almost exactly like the one-eyed mountain monster.

It's not that this mouse only has one eye, but there are black hairs between and around the two black eyes, forming a big black spot. There is a circle of white hair around this black spot, and there is another circle of white hair around it.

The black fur makes it look like there is only one big eye on its face.

A pointed nose, sunken cheeks, and two large front teeth...

The whole body is covered with long gray and white hair, and it looks like it is wearing a rag shirt. Its hands and feet are similar to those of an ordinary mouse. It is skinny and has a long curved tail behind it.

Everyone stared at the mouse for a long time, and instantly all the legends about the mountain monster were explained...it turned out to be a big mouse!

The rat didn't know what was wrong with him. He glanced at Bai Yutang and then at Lu Tianhan, looking like a lecherous little old man.

Zhan Zhao took the rolling pin and looked more and more unhappy - that mouse just touched my mouse!

Bai Yutang and Lu Tianhan also took two steps away in disgust.

The Demon King was a little puzzled. Does this mouse like Xiaobaitang or Tianhan? Or what?

But the fifth master shook his clothes and realized that the jade pendant hanging on his waist had fallen to the ground.

Reaching out to pick it up, Wu Ye found that the rope was broken, as if it had been cut by some sharp blade. He took another look at the rat's pointed nails...

Everyone also took a look at the fifth master's jade pendant, and then looked at Lu Tianhan. Mr. Lu also had a jade pendant hanging on his waist.

Bai Yutang tried to pass the jade pendant to the mouse, but the mouse stretched out his hand to grab it.

The Fifth Master took the jade pendant back, turned back, and glanced at the mountain demon's cage filled with treasures.

"Could it be that..." Demon King asked He Qin, "Those treasures are all..."

He Qin nodded.

At the same time, I heard the rat squeaking loudly, which was quite harsh.

Everyone heard the sound of chirping coming from all around. When they looked around, they saw many mice appearing in the woods on the hillside, all looking here.

He Qin waved his hand to the White Dragon King and signaled - let the mouse go.

The White Dragon King put the mouse on the ground, and the mouse squeaked and ran away.

"So the mountain demon is this kind of rat?" Everyone asked He Qin what was going on.

He Qin said with a smile, "This kind of rat is called the mountain harrier, and it is unique to this area."

"Can this mouse steal treasures?" Tianzun was curious.

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes, feeling greedy and lustful. Sure enough, among all the mice in the world, only his Xiao Baitang was cute!

"It's not their fault." He Qin smiled, "It's a long story."

Everyone saw He Qin take out a few peanuts from his sleeve pocket and hand them to another mouse who was approaching.

The mouse ran over quickly, reached out and took out a few peanuts, then stretched out his hand again... and a gem was placed in He Qin's hand.

Everyone looked at this move in surprise.

The fourth son asked, "Did the mouse use gems to buy peanuts?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then looked at Bai Yutang - even more lavish than you.

The fifth master was also confused. This mouse just wanted to steal my and grandpa’s jade pendants. Did they steal them to buy food?

"In Baiya Mountain, there was indeed a group of bandits in the past. These thieves, big and small, had amassed a lot of wealth. They hid in Baiya Mountain... all to avoid the disaster of war." He Qin told everyone slowly.

While talking, he led them to a dangerous cliff not far away, "

Back then, they brought a lot of treasures into the mountains. It is said that there were several large carts of gold, silver and jewelry that had been stolen and looted over the years... But when they were crossing this cliff again, a sudden gust of mountain wind came over... The carts containing the treasures all overturned.

The gold, silver and jewelry from several large cars fell off the cliff."

Everyone was dumbfounded and looked down. The cliff was indeed steep and the bottom was bottomless. So don't be greedy for ill-gotten gains. None of these treasures were obtained by good means!

Not to mention the steepness of the mountain wall of Baiya Mountain, there are also a lot of gravels and uneven surfaces. Gold, silver and jewelry were scattered, some fell into the deep valley, and some were scattered on the mountain wall. At that time, the group of bandits crippled nine cattle and two

With the power of a tiger, many people even fell to death trying to go down the mountain in search of treasure, but in the end, not a single copper coin was caught.

Originally, this group of people took a lot of money and planned to go into the mountains to hide and enjoy their happiness, but suddenly they had nothing and could only go back to their old business.

But in those days when the war was in chaos, who would come to this Baiya Mountain? Once out of Baiya Mountain, what would these bandits be? Back then, there were fierce men in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Who would they rob?

Helpless, this group of people had to start from ordinary jobs such as farming, hunting, and logging. Gradually... this group of people settled down in the mountains and became honest mountain people. These houses, tree houses, etc.

It was built by them.

Life was peaceful like this, until one day, the war outside the mountains ended...

When this group of people entered the mountain, some of their colleagues stayed outside the mountain. They knew they were carrying a lot of money, but they didn't know that all the treasures were gone.

Half of those bad guys who chose to hang out in the troubled times outside the mountains rather than go into the mountains to escape the world died in the war, and most of the survivors were ruthless characters.

But after fighting for so many years, peace finally came down. Everyone found that they were very poor. Even if they had people, horses, and power, they still needed money to maintain it. Some people thought of Baiya Mountain.

At that time, there was a rumor that there was a treasure in Baiya Mountain, and many people wanted to go into the mountain to snatch it. However, the terrain in the mountain was complicated, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack... Finally, the bad guys came up with a way to kidnap the hostages while the people from the mountain came out.

Most of them were women and children, coercing the people in the mountains to give them money in exchange.

But in fact, the mountain people in Baiya Mountain are hunters, logging and farming... I have heard of the gold, silver and jewelry of my ancestors, but I have never seen them. Where can I raise money? Several old people who know the ins and outs think that

I felt unjust, but the bad guys didn't listen and demanded money or they would kill the hostages.
To be continued...
