There have always been many legends in this magical black land.
The most famous among them are the Five Great Immortals of Northeast China.
Fox, yellow, white, willow, gray.
It goes without saying that everyone knows it.
But in fact, there are more than just five immortals in the Northeast.
And...the Five Immortals are also very different from those in mythical novels.
Wudaogou.
This is a remote town.
Every household lives a relatively prosperous life. The town is surrounded by forests and has many lumber mills, which support most of the townspeople.
On a cold winter night.
The northwest wind blows loudly.
Zhang Tiezhu wore a patched green cotton-padded jacket, held a wine bottle in his hand, and walked home in a daze, almost falling to the ground several times.
"Today, common people, we are so happy..."
"Let the autumn wind take away my thoughts and my tears..."
"Hiccup...give me a glass of forgetful water..."
As he walked, Zhang Tiezhu was humming various off-key and unpleasant ditties.
Today is his 24th birthday.
I went out and drank with some good buddies until late at night before going home.
Zhang Tiezhu.
Nickname: Zhang DaDa.
Because this person has been extremely courageous since he was a child.
Although he has never done anything serious or evil, he has rarely done any good deeds.
But he is a righteous man, so he has many friends...
At night, the road was covered with snow and the street lights were dim, but under the moonlight it was not dark at all.
Three days ago.
Zhang Tiezhu had a strange dream.
In the dream......
A tailless yellow man with a sharp beak said to him.
On his birthday, he would come to him and ask for his golden mouth and jade teeth to please him and settle the grudges between the two of them.
And, in the dream...
The tailless yellow man was still very worried about him. He warned Zhang Tiezhu several times and even practiced it several times.
In the dream, Zhang Tiezhu was like a star rehearsing, doing boring things over and over again. He remembered it very clearly... During this period, if there was a slight mistake or the process was wrong, the yellow man would whip him with a yellow whip.
.
Zhang Tiezhu fell out several times, but in his dream he had no choice but to be beaten by Huang Pizi!
Zhang Tiezhu was not convinced and asked Huang Pizi why he tortured him so much, but Huang Pizi only replied: Ask your grandfather!
Huang Pizi warned Zhang Tiezhu a lot and told Zhang Tiezhu not to make any mistakes after three days.
Zhang Tiezhu made various mistakes, and he responded to them one by one in his dream.
After the dream, Zhang Tiezhu woke up and felt pain in his arms and legs.
It felt like I had run 10,000 meters in track and field the day before, and my whole body was about to fall apart.
Zhang Tiezhu remembered very clearly what the tailless yellow man said in his dream, and it lingered in his mind.
But the rehearsal in the dream... was so weird that Zhang Tiezhu actually forgot about it and only remembered being beaten!
Zhang Tiezhu was very puzzled, how could he have strange dreams when he was so good?
But he didn't take it seriously.
After all...what a dream!
Who hasn’t done it?
No matter what!
The small town of Wudaogou is not poor, but Zhang Tiezhu's family... is very poor.
He lives alone in an old bungalow on the south hill of the town.
Zhang Tiezhu was in a daze. He passed two alley corners and was still half a street away from his home.
Happy birthday. Zhang Tiezhu had a smile on his face and was drunk. He planned to go home and burn the kang and have a comfortable sleep... It was beautiful.
Suddenly......
A bright yellow thing emerged from under the firewood pile not far in front of Zhang Tiezhu.
"Hey, gold that can move?"
Zhang Tiezhu burped, stopped, rubbed his eyes, and showed greedy eyes, which were brighter than when he peeked at a woman taking a shower.
Hear Zhang Tiezhu's words.
The bright yellow thing suddenly trembled, then slowly stopped...
He slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Tiezhu.
Zhang Tiezhu was also stunned because this thing was not gold.
But...a yellow-skinned guy without a tail!
This yellow-skinned creature is looking at me in astonishment?!
And that shocked expression looks more human than human!
Zhang Tiezhu was in a daze, and his big eyes met the small eyes of Huang Pizi in front of him, and their eyes met.
Zhang Tiezhu rubbed his eyes again, showing surprise.
Because he discovered...
This yellow-skinned one seemed like the one that whipped him in his dream a few days ago!
This yellow-skinned child is not big, slightly larger than a mouse and slightly smaller than a cat.
Zhang Tiezhu could recognize it because it was very distinctive, because it...had no tail!
Huangpizi is commonly known as: weasel.
Scientific name: Yellow weasel.
A big long tail basically takes up half of the body.
There are many legends about Huangpizi in the Northeast, and many people worship Baojiaxian among them. Huangpizi is one of them.
Many people also respectfully call Huangpizi Huangxian.
Not only in the Northeast, there are also many Wong Tai Sin temples in the South, which are very popular.
There are also many idioms about Huangpizi.
For example: the weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken.
When a weasel gives birth to pups, one litter is worse than the next...
Normally, people living in the Northeast believe this very much.
Even if you don't believe it, the elders at home would tell your children and grandchildren when they were young that they must not offend Huang Xian if they meet him.
Zhang Tiezhu remembered that his grandfather had told him.
Pity......
Zhang Tiezhu never listened to his family, nor did he believe in ghosts and gods.
There's no way...he's brave.
The yellow man looked shocked at first, and then started to bar his teeth and look angry.
After a while, Zhang Tiezhu saw smoke coming from the yellow man's head...
That's right.
It's just smoke.
"Huh?"
Zhang Tiezhu was not afraid, but rubbed his eyes.
Will Huangpizi still smoke?
God!
"What are you doing? Do you still remember the process I told you a few days ago?!" The tailless yellow-skinned man said with his teeth. Then he stood up and stomped his feet like a human!
It... spoke?
If you were a normal person and a yellow-skinned man stood in front of you and mouthed human words, you would definitely be surprised and exclaim.
Those who are more superstitious may kneel down and shout Wong Tai Sin.
If you are timid, you may be scared to death.
But... Zhang Tiezhu, who was already bold, almost entered an invincible state with the help of alcohol!
"process?"
Zhang Tiezhu scratched his head, froze for a moment, and recalled the experience of being beaten in his dream: "You...beat me?"
The tailless Huangpizi was dumbfounded.
Completely dumbfounded...
broken!
broken!!
what to do?!
This bastard actually got drunk on such an important day!!
Huangpizi was confused. Today was the big day for him to ask for the title. If something happened, he would have to repair it again.
Zhang Tiezhu saw Huang Pizi stunned. He looked at him up and down, and the more he looked at him, the more he looked like him.
That's right...this is the yellow guy who whipped him with a whip in the dream!
Zhang Tiezhu started to look unkind, moved his neck slightly, and threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground!
"Snapped"
Huang Pizi was frightened and suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Zhang Tiezhu in shock.
I saw the other party rolling up his sleeves and about to make a move!!
"Zhang Tiezhu, you... don't make trouble, think about it... wake up."
