Legend of Yang Jian

Legend has it that Yang Jian's mother is the jade emperor's sister. She secretly came to the world because she envied human feelings, met a scholar named Yang, and became friends with him. Otome, the Jade Emperor, gave birth to three children for Poplar, among whom Jiro was Yang Jian. Third sister has no name, only that she is the Three Virgin of Huashan.

The jade emperor was very angry when he learned that his sister had come down to earth privately, so he put her under Taoshan to suffer. When Emperor Wen of Sui was a child, his skill was extraordinary. Yang Jian grew up to seventeen years old, brave and invincible. He once killed eight monsters who harmed the world in Erlang Mountain. This is the origin of "killing the Eight Monsters by force". So he took a mountain axe, split Taoshan, and rescued his mother who was crushed under the mountain.

Mother and son are naturally happy when they meet, but unfortunately, Otome has been under pressure for too long, and has not seen the sun for more than ten years, and her body is covered with white hair. So Jiro put his mother on the mountain to bask in the sun. At this time, the jade emperor was very angry when he heard that Erlang split the mountain. In order to eliminate shame, he put nine suns in the sky and burned his sister alive on the mountain.

Jiro fell into pain and hatred. He chased it for nine days in a rage, but he grabbed it with one hand but had nowhere to put it. Then he lifted two mountains respectively, held down the captured sun and watched the seven suns scurrying about in the sky. Then he grabbed a pair of shoulder poles and carried seven mountains to continue chasing the sun. This is the legend of "Erlang Tuoshan".

In this way, only the last sun is flying. Jiro chased into the East China Sea and was stopped by the East China Sea Dragon King and Princess Sancui. Exhausted Jiro fainted in the gentle arms of Yincui gorge, and then they formed a happy marriage.

It turns out that the roaring dog is a hunting dog raised by Erlang God. It was first named "Whispering Dog" in the Romance of Gods, but it is not a god beast, but a magic weapon. It is usually held in its arms like a piece of paper, and can become a fierce dog as big as a colossus to bite its neck. But because Yang Jian is not a magic monk, it is often used to sneak attack or delay the enemy.
