The two could only scream loudly and burst into tears.

When Dayou opened his eyes, he saw weak waves of mud rising in the swamp in front of him, as if there was a wriggling creature under the mud in the swamp, quietly swimming towards the foot of the mountain.

He quickly grabbed his sister Erya and said: "Go quickly, go quickly! Don't let the monster eat you!"

As soon as the two turned around, the swamp mud behind them indeed set off another mud wave, rushing towards them!

Fortunately, the two of them had already turned around, spread their legs and ran up the mountain.

The swamp mud plopped at the foot of the mountain and slowly retracted into the swamp.

They reached halfway up the mountain before the brother and sister dared to stop. Da Ya said breathlessly: "Did you see it? It's a mud-like monster, and its body seems to have no bones!"

Erya nodded and said: "It's just a ball of mud, but it has two eyes, a mouth and a nose. But it has no hands or feet!"

Da Ya said: "Well, you saw it too!"

The two of them didn't dare to stay, so they quickly climbed up the mountain and slipped back to the village in the col.

The two returned to the village in grief and told the villagers how their father went down the mountain and was eaten by monsters in the swamp.

The villagers were also very sad, remembering that Father He had always cared for everyone. If he hadn't helped everyone survive the famine, many people would have died long ago.

The eldest grandfather in the village said: "In the past, we could barely make a living. If we are dragged up the mountain col by swamp mud and monsters are rampant, we will be waiting to die."

Everyone was silent and sad.

Da Ya stood up and said: "This monster is not very powerful. If Erya and I work together to deal with it, we will definitely be able to get rid of it."

He took out a short knife from the house, which was passed down from his ancestors and was the only iron weapon in Shan'ao Village.

"I will use this short sword to avenge my father!" he said through gritted teeth.

Erya also picked up a long stick and said, "Count me in!"

The old man hurriedly grabbed the old man and said, "Wait a minute, you don't know the cause and effect, so you act recklessly! Listen to what I tell you!"

Da Ya Er Ya sat down and looked at the old grandpa with wide eyes, not knowing what important thing he had.

The old man said mysteriously: "You don't know the origin of this swamp."

Everyone shook their heads, and the old man said: "Only your father and I know about this matter. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid no one will know about it after I die."

Everyone heard the old man tell a story that happened on Yadao a hundred years ago.

More than a hundred years ago, Yadao was not what it is today. The plains around the island were inhabited by many families of fishermen who lived and worked in peace and contentment. They went out to fish in the morning and drank and had fun at night, leading a peaceful and peaceful life.

There are two gods on this island, an earth god and a mountain god. But they are two aggressive guys.

In order to compete for the position of island master, they made a hundred-year oath to defeat each other with their own magic power. The land god is good at earth-based exercises, while the mountain god is good at fire-based exercises.

On this small island, the land god used earth magic to turn the surrounding plains into a swamp. However, the mountain god was unable to use his fire spells and could only be trapped in the mountains.

Especially after the Imperial Capital Island dominated the sea, the Earth God successfully curried favor with the Imperial Capital Island and mastered the inhalation method of Wuhun Kung Fu. Since then, the Earth God's spells have become stronger day by day, while the Mountain God has become more and more trapped in the mountains, and is increasingly at a disadvantage.

It turns out that this is what happened. The swamp area on Yadao turned out to be created by the land god. But what is the use of practicing the inhalation method? The villagers all understood why once they were close to the swamp, they would

The reason why I was sucked in Qi.

Did the land god create a swamp just to defeat the mountain god?

Since the mountain god is hiding in the mountains, why has no one in the village ever seen him?

After everyone heard the story, they were filled with doubts and watched eagerly as the grandfather continued to tell.

The old man sighed and said: "These stories were told by the mountain god to an elder in the village. The elder has been dead for many years. From then on, the land god became more and more proud. The mountain god was probably ashamed and couldn't bear to show himself.

No one has seen the mountain god anymore."

So, both the mountain god and the earth god are still on the cliff island.

Could it be that the monster that devoured He's father was the incarnation of the earth god?

Since the land god is only against the mountain god, and that swamp is the land god’s territory, why does he still invade the villagers of Shan’ao Village?

Why is this land god so violent, even the birds flying in the sky and the fish in the sea are not spared?

Da Ya expressed the doubts in his mind.

The old man shook his head and just said: "They should still be on the island. As for where they are hiding, no one knows."

Facing such a powerful enemy, Da Ya felt pressured.

But Erya blinked and said, "Does Grandpa want us to unite with the Mountain God to deal with the Earth God?"

The old man smiled and nodded repeatedly.

…

How to find the mountain god? Grandpa doesn’t know either.

Dayou and Erya really had no clue. They remembered that there was a spring deep in the mountain. There was a small mountain temple beside the spring and a stone house as big as a dining table.

This is all the respect the villagers of Shan'ao have for the mountain god.

Even though they were starving, they still offered sacrifices and prayed to the mountain gods to protect the safety of Shan'ao Village. Without this mountain to block the threat of swamps, the life of the villagers would have been even more difficult.

Therefore, people in Shan'ao Village have never forgotten the mountain god.

Now, Dayou and Erya missed the mountain god even more. They came to the spring, knelt in front of the mountain god, and respectfully lit three bamboo branches as incense. They also placed two boiled yam eggs.

The two kowtowed respectfully and said: "Great Mountain God, please show up quickly and help us defeat the Earth God!"

The green trees cover the entire mountain col, and the green trees rustle softly. The spring water silently gushes out a small splash, and everything is so quiet. Being in the mountain col, you can't even hear the sound of the waves outside the island.

The two of them knelt for a while, watching the bamboo incense burn out, and then got up.

Seeing the sun shining through the green shade above their heads, they left the mountain temple in disappointment at dusk.

The night in the mountain village was very cold, and most of the villagers went to bed early. But Daya and Erya were not sleepy. They lost their father, and their lives suddenly became empty.

In the past, when their father was around, they were carefree even if they were poor and hardworking. Just one day, they seemed to be forced to grow up.

Erya said: "Even if we can't take revenge, we still have to find a way to prevent the swamp from climbing up the mountain."

Da Ya nodded and said: "Maybe planting trees is a good idea. Those trees at the bottom of the mountain block a lot of swamp mud."

Erya also agreed and said: "Yes! We mobilize the villagers to raise seedlings around the village, and then we plant them on the hillside to block the upward trend of the swamp!"

The two of them discussed this and gradually fell asleep.
