23. Mountain God
To be honest, when Wang Bo heard the news at the first time, he also suspected whether this was done by the robbers and bandits.
Now that Dongfeng Express is growing, it is inevitable that you will encounter some robbers and bandits when delivering goods.
However, since the goods delivered by Dongfeng Express are all wood or other materials, there is actually no oil and water, even bandits are too lazy to rob these people.
After all, there are more things like wood in the deep mountains and forests.
Even other materials are nothing more than some valuable materials.
There are more places to go.
Even bandits disliked these people for being poor.
But now it seems a little different. After all, many people know the relationship between Dongfeng Express and Youjian Inn, so did the bandits rob the Dongfeng Express and use it to blackmail Youjian Inn.
This is not impossible.
On the contrary, this is very likely.
However, a few days passed, and Wang Bo was still not extorted by the robbers, so Wang Bo overturned his previous judgment.
It is very likely that this group of people was not kidnapped by robbers, but something really happened.
Wang Bo immediately found some people to understand the situation, and learned from other members of Dongfeng Express that something that surprised Wang Bo and even shocked him.
It turned out that when Dongfeng Express members delivered the goods, the place where the accident happened, or the missing place, was actually called...
Guobei County!
Just kidding.
Wang Bo was surprised when he heard the facts about Guobei County.
Others may not know what Guobei County means, but Wang Bo is very clear that Guobei County comes from the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and is a place noun that appears in the story of Xiaoqian.
There is a place called Lanruo Temple inside Guobei County.
In this place, there is a thousand-year-old tree demon, and behind the tree demon is there an old Black Mountain demon.
But this should be the Legend of the White Snake.
Why does the story of the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl suddenly pop up?
Just because both are both gods and demons, the two stories are actually under the same worldview?
Wang Bo couldn't think of his sister, and he wondered if he had guessed wrongly. He couldn't think of the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl when he heard Guobei County, the Thousand-year-old tree demon, and the Black Mountain Old Demon.
Maybe Guobei County is just Guobei County, and there is no Lanruo Temple.
However, to be on the safe side, Wang Bo still asked Bai Suzhen, "Sister Bai, you have been practicing for so many years, do you know a guy named Black Mountain Old Demon?"
Bai Suzhen said with a look of surprise: "Where did you hear this name?"
Wang Bo saw her face and couldn't help but jump in his heart and said, "So, Sister Bai, do you really know this old monster in Black Mountain?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head and said, "Actually, I have never seen the Black Mountain Old Monster, nor do I know it, but I do know this person. He is very famous. In our circle, he is also considered a big monster of twelve. Moreover, the origin of this guy is also somewhat legendary."
"Legend?" Wang Bo asked inexplicably: "How do you say this?"
Bai Suzhen said: "Do you know, who was the predecessor of the Black Mountain Old Demon?"
Wang Bo shook his head.
Bai Suzhen explained: "The original body of the old demon in Black Mountain is a Black Mountain, but his predecessor was once the mountain god of Black Mountain."
Wang Bo couldn't help but frowned in surprise.
He has been in this world for more than a year and has been with Bai Suzhen all day long. He is not as unfamiliar with this world at the beginning, and he has some understanding of it.
The mountain god Bai Suzhen mentioned was not an ordinary guy.
Although in many mythological novels, mountain gods are like parallel to land, they are not powerful gods.
But in fact, the mountain god is not an ordinary character.
Many mountain gods have a high status in the immortal system, beyond imagination.
The representatives are the God of Mount Tai, the Lord of Mount Tai, and the Emperor of Dongyue!
As the incarnation of Mount Tai, the God of Mount Tai is the sacred messenger for communication between heaven and earth. He is the guardian god who was ordered by emperors of all dynasties to govern the world and become one of the folk religious beliefs.
Among the oldest theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements in China, Mount Tai is located in the east, the place where the sun rises, and the place where all things are born. Therefore, the god of Mount Tai has the important function of governing life and death, and thus extends several specific functions: the new and old generation, strengthening the country and the people; prolonging life and becoming an immortal; blessings and honors, high and low positions; the period of life and death, and the unity of ghosts.
There are always different opinions about the origin of this Emperor Dongyue.
The Taoist scripture "Dongyuan Collection" says: "Taihao was the Qing Emperor, who ruled Dongdai, and controlled all things." "The Record of Pillow" also says: "Taihao was the Qing Emperor, who ruled Daizong Mountain; Zhuxu was the Hei Emperor, who ruled Taiheng Mountain; Zhurong was the Chi Emperor, who ruled Henghuo Mountain; Xuanyuan was the Huang Emperor, who ruled Songgao Mountain; Jintian was the Bai Emperor, who ruled Huayin Mountain."
The "Shenyi Jing" says: "In the past, the Miao descendants of Pangu's fifth generation were called Hetian clan, the son of Hetian clan was called Xubo clan, the son of Xubo clan was called Xuanying clan, and the son of Xuanying clan was called Jinlun King.
The younger brother of King Jinlun was called Shaohai, and the wife of Shaohai was called Milun Fairy. The fairy of Milun dreamed of swallowing for two days at night, and was pregnant and gave birth to two sons. The eldest was called Jinchan, and the second was called Jinhong. The second was called Jinhong, which was called Dongyue Emperor."
"The Original Annals of Emperor Dongyue" and "The General Mirror of Gods and Immortals of All Ages" also adhere to this statement.
"Shu Yi Ji" says: "In the past, when Pangu died, the head was the four mountains, the eyes were the sun and the moon,... The common saying between the Qin and Han Dynasties: Pangu's head was the east mountain, the belly was the middle mountain, the left arm was the south mountain, the right arm was the north mountain, and the feet were the west mountain." "The Five Eternal Records" also says: "The first birth of Pangu, the dying incarnation... The four limbs and five bodies were the four poles and five mountains..."
There is even a legend that Emperor Dongyue was the fifth generation grandson of Pangu and the 72nd Division.
But no matter how you look at it, Emperor Dongyue has a status in the immortal system.
Except for Emperor Dongyue, other mountain gods have not had low status.
So when Bai Suzhen said that the former of the old demon of the Black Mountain was the mountain god, Wang Bo was so surprised.
How could the mountain god become the old demon of the Black Mountain?
Bai Suzhen said: "When the old demon of Heishan was the God of Heishan, he was the one who was conferred the title of the God of Heishan. However, he was ambitious and wanted to expand the authority of Heishan. However, it was too difficult to expand the authority in the sun, so the God of Heishan focused on the authority in the underworld."
Wang Bo couldn't help but say, "This guy is ambitious enough."
Bai Suzhen said, "Yes, he is ambitious enough and has succeeded. He actually opened up a small hell outside the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld, called the Black Mountain Hell!"
Although Wang Bo was surprised, he was not surprised.
Because there have been precedents before, Emperor Dongyue is a mountain god who controls life and death, longevity, noble and humbleness, controls the underworld, and is involved in eliminating crimes and resolving grievances, and is aware of heaven and earth to protect the country and the people.
