After the children came home with various skills，the whole family set up several piles of fires at the cave entrance to keep warm，to light and to burn food.After the fire was lit，some of them cut trees down，some broke bamboo，some cut thatch，and some cut ivy leaves.In less than a day，huts were erected one after another at the entrance to Luoyan Cave.They were divided into ten groups to work respectively：hunting，rafting and shipbuilding，netting to fish shrimp，spinning thread and weaving，planting flowers and fruits，burning the ground to turn up the soil，sowing seeds and seedlings，picking flowers and making honey，picking fruits and brewing wine，digging medicine and making pills of immortality，and each group was busy with its work.They worked during the day，and at night，the whole family gathered around the fire and learned to sing folk songs and dance from Jimiran.and Xiganpiao.The joyous singing and dancing attracted hundreds of birds to sing with them，and attracted different kinds of animals to dance with them.How happy they were！In less than a year，the whole Luofeng Mountain was transformed into a great paradise by Laogu and Laotai's family.

In order to reproduce human beings，Laogu and Laotai let the ten boys marry the ten girls.And each couple moved to other place to live in.Later，the ten couples gave birth to children，who gave birth to the next generation.From generation to generation，ten tribes appeared in Luofeng Mountain.Ten million years later，the descendants of Laogu and Laotai built ten large villages in Luofeng Mountain and the surrounding mountains，and then they formed a brave and hardworking ethnic group—the Bai ethnic group.

The descendants of the Bai people，unable to forget their ancestors，respectfully called Laogu，Laotai and their ten sons and ten girls the Village God（本主）—Lord of the Land.

Because Laogu and Laotai created the heaven and the earth，people respectfully call Laogu the Father Heaven，Laotai the Mother Earth，and their children Ciwu and Duosuo the Hunting God，Shehuduo and Juluwang the Fire God，Hainaoxian and Daogao the Wood God，Guihu and Bishen the Weaving God，Hengzhuozhi and Banzhuozhi the Fishing God，Wunu and Jijie the Farming God，Suoxu and Duozuokui the Flower God，Fuzheng and Henglao the Cooking God，Hete and Guzhuo the Medicine God，Jimiran and Xiganpiao the Singing God.

Every year at Mid-Autumn Festival，the Bai people put on their ethnic costumes，carry various fruits，cakes and newly-cut grain，sing folk songs and dance folk dances，and go to Luoyan Cave on Luofeng Mountain to worship Laogu，Laotai and their ten sons and ten daughters.People call it the New Sacrifice Festival，also known as the Heart Sacrifice Festival—to present the newly harvested fruits and grains，together with their missing of the ancestors，to the Village God—the God who created human beings and all things.
