After a while, Toyota Village regained its tranquility.
Pei Wende looked at the fallen wheat fields and finally understood everything that had happened in Toyota Village.
The origin of the matter has to start with Wen Li's mother, the being named "Mountain Ghost".
Just as the giant human-faced bear said before, Toyota Village has had beliefs about mountain ghosts from a long time ago, but the real mountain ghosts only came here in recent decades.
Maybe he was attracted by the belief in worshiping mountain ghosts here, or maybe he was planning to give up his demon body and follow the Shinto...
The mountain ghosts who chose to settle here began to gradually appear, helping Toyota Village regulate the four seasons and enrich the fertility of the land. This was the initial prosperity of Toyota Village.
In the process, the mountain ghost also integrated into Toyota Village in the form of a human being, and even fell in love with the only scholar in the village.
Mountain ghosts who are new to the world mostly know about human beings from storybooks and operas.
Most of the protagonists in novels and operas are scholars, and they are kind-hearted and compassionate scholars.
With the blessing of this filter, it became a matter of course that the mountain ghost would fall in love with the only scholar in the village.
However, reality is not like story books and operas. People in the real world are far more complicated than story books and operas.
Especially for the Toyoda Village scholar who is a part-time village hunter and has studied half-heartedly, he has a much darker heart than those scholars known to the mountain ghost.
At the beginning, I was simply happy that a lady of the world could take a fancy to me.
Although this lady's behavior was too naive sometimes, the scholar just attributed it to the strict family tradition.
But as time went by, the scholar discovered that this lady was not only naive in character, but also showed all kinds of incredible things in other aspects.
In particular, scholars attach great importance to their descendants, but Shangui behaves very casually about this, and even doesn't care.
It's okay once or twice occasionally, but as time goes by, the scholars will naturally notice the clues.
[This wife of mine... doesn’t seem to be a human being? 】
When this idea appeared in the scholar's mind, all the previous abnormalities had a reasonable explanation.
But what the scholar never expected was that his wife was not only not a human being, but also a mountain god worshiped and worshiped by the village for generations.
From the initial cautious exploration, to the occasional unreasonable requests...
The scholar is testing the mountain ghost's bottom line little by little, trying to use her omnipotent magical power to realize her wishes and regrets.
Be it money, fame or fortune...
With the mountain ghost almost being satisfied with whatever he asked for, the scholar's ambitions and desires began to expand rapidly.
The villagers of Toyota Village, who were vaguely aware of something, also took advantage of this to make insinuations, hoping that the mountain ghost would help realize their wishes and others.
It's hard to say whether all this is the mountain ghost's fault.
In short, disaster struck when the mountain ghost realized that the situation seemed a little different from what he imagined and refused the request of the scholar and villagers for the first time.
As the saying goes, when you win a favor, you lose a favor.
When your kindness becomes a daily routine to the people around you, and you no longer meet their requirements, it’s time to turn against them.
No one, including the scholars, has ever remembered what life was like in Toyota Village before the mountain ghost came.
These people only know that the mountain ghost can no longer satisfy their wishes unconditionally, and as a result, they can no longer live as wealthy and happy lives as before.
As you can imagine, the mountain ghost was secretly poisoned by the scholar and the villagers when he lost his first move, and was completely placed under house arrest.
Then, something unexpected happened to the villagers.
The originally prosperous Fengtian Village began to reverse its seasons, and locusts began to appear on the fertile land...
It was not until this time that the villagers realized that the mountain ghost under house arrest was not just a monster that responded to requests, but also a mountain god worshiped by Toyota Village for generations.
Surprise, panic, fear...
The villagers, who were filled with various emotions, finally decided to stop doing nothing and began to force the mountain ghost to bring a good harvest to Toyota Village.
On the one hand, they hope that the mountain ghost will continue to use their abilities to bring about a good harvest, but on the other hand, they are afraid that the mountain ghost's abilities will completely revive and take revenge on the villagers...
Under these contradictory demands, the mountain ghost finally became desperate and decided to take revenge on the villagers.
The mountain ghost first pretended to compromise with the villagers, allowing Toyota Village to return to a state of good weather and bumper harvests.
Even to go one step further, Shangui blended his own blood into the water source, allowing the villagers of Toyota Village to irrigate the land with water mixed with his own blood.
Watering the land with the blood of a mountain god will naturally bring an unprecedented bumper harvest.
However, what the villagers didn't know was that the blood of the gods could bring good harvests, but their blasphemous behavior made the entire earth reject and hate this group of humans.
Once the mountain ghost, the mountain god, dies, they will be plagued by unprecedented disasters.
And this is the real purpose of the mountain ghost. She wants this group of greedy humans to be unable to survive or die. They will never be reincarnated and suffer the fate of being abandoned by heaven and earth.
As for the culprit that caused all this, the scholar who once attracted the mountain ghost?
She decided to take revenge on the other party in a more extreme and more hateful way.
During the period of imprisonment, Shangui lied that he was pregnant with the other party's child.
In a sense, it was indeed the scholar's child, but it was the "son of revenge" conceived by the mountain ghost with his own life.
From the moment he was born in his mother's womb, the child in the mountain ghost's belly knew everything that happened to his mother.
So when Shan Gui forcibly gave birth to the child at the cost of his own death, he knew that he was born with the fate of killing his mother and killing his father.
For Shangui, a child is not a necessity, it is just a "prop" she uses to take revenge on the scholar.
But Wenli never saw it that way. He thanked the mountain ghost for giving birth to himself, so that he could open his eyes and see this wonderful world.
He is willing to avenge his mother, but he is not willing to bear the fate of "killing his mother and killing his father" forever.
So He gave up the human form given to him by the mountain ghost, and then, in the eyes of the scholar's stunned and disgusted eyes, he returned to nature as a "son of the mountains" and split into a purer self.
Wenli will always bear the fate of "killing his mother and killing his father", and will eventually resolve all the resentments left by his mother through self-destruction.
And the other self will continue to live in a way that no longer owes anyone or any cause and effect, and will witness the world on his behalf.
