It turned out that unlike the other Wu people, Wu Gang was born from a drop of Pan Gu's blood pool.
The so-called Pan Gu blood pool was a pool formed entirely from Pan Gu's blood.
Back then, after Pan Gu created the world, his twelve drops of spirit blood turned into twelve Zu Wu's, and some of his blood fell on the ground.
Pan Gu was incomparably tall and strong, and a drop of blood was as big as a small pool. Every drop of blood fell on the ground, a Pan Gu blood pool would be born.
At the beginning, ordinary Wu people were born from these Pan Gu blood pools.
The Pangu Blood Pool was like the mother of the Wu Clan. Therefore, the Pangu Blood Pool was protected by the Wu Clan with all their strength. Almost every clan of the Wu Clan was built around a Pangu Blood Pool.
Among the opposite sex, Wu people could also give birth to new Wu people through reproduction. However, such Wu people were born with weak bodies, and could only stay at the level of Novice Magi for the rest of their lives, and could never make any progress.
Only the Wu people born from Pan Gu blood pool had pure bloodlines, and could reach the level of Senior Magi at most. These Wu people were the true pillars of Wu people!
However, the speed at which Wu people were born from Pan Gu blood pool was very slow, and as time went by, the amount of Pan Gu's blood in Pan Gu blood pool became less and less. Therefore, the number of pure-blooded Wu people born from Pan Gu blood pool became fewer and fewer. Sometimes, only two or three pure-blooded Wu people were born in a hundred years, and these pure-blooded Wu people were the absolute treasures of every clan.
Wu Gang was a pure-blooded Wu people born from Pan Gu blood pool. A hundred years after Wu Gang was born, two pure-blooded Wu people were born from two different Pan Gu blood pools.
One of them was Hou Yi from the Dijiang Tribe, and the other was Chang 'e from the Houtu Tribe. The three Shamans were born with no animal characteristics, and they were almost exactly the same as humans. Therefore, the three of them naturally became extremely good friends. They had been living together since they were young, and it had been 30,000 years since then.
However, as time went by, the conflict between the three gradually emerged, and the source of the conflict was the only female Wu people, Chang 'e.
Everyone knew about Chang 'e. She was a unique beauty in the world, and her beauty was beyond imagination. It was said that she was many times more beautiful than Goddess Nuwa.
Naturally, such a beauty attracted the hearts of both Hou Yi and Wu Gang.
When they were young, they didn't think much of it. But when they became adults, Hou Yi and Wu Gang began to fight over Chang 'e. The two of them almost fought each other. If Chang' e hadn't arrived in time to stop them, one of the three would have died.
Chang 'e felt that the situation couldn't continue like this. She had to clearly reject one of them and make them give up.
But after all, they were all childhood friends. Chang 'e couldn't bear to reject any one of them, so she made an agreement with Wu Gang and Hou Yi. Whoever could kill the Golden Crow in the sky and avenge Kuafu, Chang' e would choose him as her husband.
Grand Shaman Kuafu was the tree man who had fought with Guhan in the Shanhai Pass. Because of their appearance, they were ostracized by the pure-blooded Wu people when they were young and received a lot of cold looks.
It was Grand Shaman Kuafu who protected the three of them and raised them at the same time. Their relationship with Grand Shaman Kuafu was as close as that of a father and son.
The Golden Crow was the son of Di Jun, the two supreme leaders of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan. They usually stood on the Fusang Tree, and only one of them could fly in the sky every day. It was like the setting sun and rising sun, indicating the existence of the day.
But one day, the Golden Crow that came out to play landed on the ground, and happened to stay in the position of Kuafu's tribe. The blazing fire roasted the land like a sea of fire. Three tribes under Kuafu's control were burned to ashes by the fire, and tens of thousands of Wu people died.
Kuafu was furious and kept chasing the Golden Crow until he was exhausted. He drank all the water in the Yangtze River and Yellow River, but still couldn't replenish the water in his body. In the end, he was exhausted and turned into a peach wood forest.
This was the legend of Kuafu chasing the sun that everyone in Huaxia was familiar with, and this legend actually happened according to Wu Gang.
After Kuafu's death, the three of them were extremely sad and regarded the Golden Crow that killed Kuafu as their father's murderer. Their biggest goal in life was to kill the Golden Crow and avenge Kuafu.
This was the condition set by Chang 'e. She was willing to marry whoever could kill the Golden Crow first and avenge Kuafu.
Wu Gang and Hou Yi had nothing to say about this. They both patted their chests and promised that they would be the first to kill the Golden Crow and avenge Kuafu.
After that, Wu Gang and Hou Yi completely separated. They both thought about how to kill the Golden Crow.
Wu Gang knew very well that he was far weaker than Kuafu. Even Kuafu couldn't kill the Golden Crow, so he couldn't just recklessly go up and kill it. Wu Gang had to find a way to restrain the Golden Crow.
Later on, Wu Gang passed by an old man who was wandering around. The old man said that he was the Lord Taishang of the Tushita Palace and asked for a cup of water.
After Wu Gang gave him the water, the Lord Taishang said that he was willing to promise Wu Gang one thing, so Wu Gang asked him how he could kill the Golden Crow.
The Lord Taishang touched his beard and said that there was a kind of tree in this world called the Moon Cassia Tree. It came from the same origin as the Fuso Tree where the Golden Crow's origin was. They were like brother and sister.
However, the Fuso Tree was born with the attribute of fire, so it was an object of extreme Yang.
On the other hand, the Moon Cassia Tree was born with the attribute of water, so it was an object of extreme Yin.
Therefore, if he wanted to kill the Golden Crow, he had to find a branch of the Moon Cassia Tree and make an arrow out of it. As long as the arrow could pierce through the Golden Crow's chest, the Golden Crow would definitely die.
Wu Gang was overjoyed. He didn't know where the other things were, but he knew where the Moon Cassia Tree was.
Because this laurel tree was a treasure of the Qiang Liang Tribe, it was planted near the Qiang Liang Tribe. However, this laurel tree looked ordinary, no different from an ordinary tree. Even the osmanthus flowers it bloomed were not as fragrant as other osmanthus trees. The people of the Qiang Liang Tribe didn't know what the laurel tree was used for, so they just let it stay there for a long time.
Therefore, Wu Gang immediately ran to the side of the Moon Cassia Tree with his axe. He wanted to cut off the branches of the Moon Cassia Tree to make the arrow that the Lord Taishang mentioned.
However, when Wu Gang began to swing the axe, he found that the Moon Cassia Tree was indeed a divine art comparable to the Fuso Tree. The wood was extremely hard, so it was difficult for Wu Gang's axe to cut through it.
Every time Wu Gang finally cut off half of the branches, the original wounds on the branches would immediately heal and return to their original appearance. No matter how many times Wu Gang cut it, the result was the same.
Wu Gang cut the branches for 100 years. He thought that as long as he persisted, he would be able to cut through metal and stone with sincerity.
However, the Moon Cassia Tree didn't move at all. Wu Gang was about to go crazy.
Later, Wu Gang carefully recalled what Lord Taishang had said to him and suddenly remembered that Lord Taishang had indeed said that the Moon Cassia Tree was mysterious and unpredictable. Even the best Primordial Spiritual Treasure in the world couldn't hurt the Moon Cassia Tree at all. In this world, only the Four Immortal-killing Swords of Sect Leader Tongtian could cut off a branch of the Moon Cassia Tree.
After recalling these words, Wu Gang went straight to the Aquamarine Palace, intending to enter the Aquamarine Palace to borrow a sword from Sect Leader Tongtian. However, the Aquamarine Palace was the land of the Sages, so it was heavily guarded. How could a mere Heaven Wizard like Wu Gang enter? He was directly stopped by the disciples of Sect Leader Tongtian who were guarding at the door. They did not let Wu Gang enter at all.
Wu Gang originally wanted to ask Sect Leader Tongtian to borrow a sword from him. However, he learned that Sect Leader Tongtian had explicitly stated that he would never accept any Wu people as his disciples.
Wu Gang had no choice but to return and continue to try to cut off the Moon Cassia Tree. At the same time, he racked his brains for a way to meet Sect Leader Tongtian.
As a result, Guhan appeared at the right time. After learning that Guhan had a letter that could allow him to meet Sect Leader Tongtian, Wu Gang immediately planned to ask Guhan to borrow a sword from Sect Leader Tongtian. After all, this was the only way he could think of to meet Sect Leader Tongtian. Therefore, he quickly changed his enthusiasm. It turned out that he wanted to ask Guhan for help.
"No wonder this guy has been cutting trees on the Moon all his life. There's something wrong with his head. The Four Immortal-killing Swords are the most precious treasures of Sect Leader Tongtian. Sect Leader Tongtian won't even lend them to his fellow disciples. How could he lend them to a Magistrate like Wu Gang?" Guhan laughed in his heart.
However, Wu Gang's purpose was exactly the same as Guhan's. They both hoped to get the Four Immortal-killing Swords from Sect Leader Tongtian. This was a kind of fate.
At the same time, Guhan remembered that according to the records in the Sage's Relic, there were two direct causes of the Great War of Sorcery and Demon. One was that Zu Wu was seriously injured in the battle between Zhu Rong and Gonggong. As a result, the twelve Zu Wu were unable to form the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. As a result, the Demon Tribe seized the opportunity and launched an all-out attack.
The second was that Hou Yi shot the sun and killed Emperor Jun's nine sons of Jinwu. The Demon Tribe was extremely angry with the Wu people. The combination of these two factors finally led to the Great War of Sorcery and Demon, which destroyed the two powerful races, the Demon Tribe and the Wu people.
If the memory in the Sage's Relic was correct, Wu Gang became one of the direct causes of the Great War of Sorcery and Demon, which led to the destruction of the entire Wu people.
However, since this arrow was made by Wu Gang, how could it fall into the hands of Hou Yi and eventually become Hou Yi shooting the sun?
Returning to the main topic, Guhan naturally agreed to Wu Gang's request. When he got the Immortal-trapping Sword, it was not impossible for Wu Gang to cut off a branch of the laurel tree.
Therefore, under Wu Gang's enthusiastic guidance, the two of them set off.
In order to speed up the time, Guhan directly took Wu Gang through the hollow and hurried through the hollow. Therefore, it only took them five days to reach the gate of the Aquamarine Palace in Penglai Island. Then, they were stopped by a half-acquaintance of Guhan.
"Why are you here again? We have said that you are not allowed to come in!" Zhao Gongming, the God of Fortune, said disdainfully.
