Let's start with a legend from our side.

In other words, there is a rotten mountain outside xx, but it was not called rotten mountain hundreds of years ago, just a mountain in the southeast and northwest at will. It was renamed because, in a word, a person.

In a word, "the mountain is not high, but the fairy is not famous."

One person is "Wang Zhi".

Wang Zhi is a mean boy. He lost his father when he was young, and only his mother lived alone. One day, as usual, he went up the mountain to cut wood, and suddenly dark clouds were gathering, and thunder and lightning flashed. Wang Zhi knew it was going to rain heavily, and there happened to be a natural cave on the top of the mountain, so he took a firewood knife to the cave to shelter from the rain.

Coincidentally, there are already two old people in this cave, one is white, the other is black, sitting opposite each other, scaring Go badly.

Wang Zhi just took shelter from the rain and had nothing to do, so he just watched them play chess, which fascinated him.

In the meantime, one of the old people gave him something similar to fried beans. As the saying goes, it was given by the elders. Wang Zhi ate the beans and continued to play chess.

After playing a game of chess, the rain stopped and the two men watched and left. Wang Zhi turned to move firewood down the mountain, only to find that the firewood knife was rusty and even the handle had rotted.

Wang Zhi hurried down the mountain and found that great changes had taken place in the village. All the relatives and friends in the past have disappeared. When he asked the time, he realized that hundreds of years had passed and his mother had already passed away.

Since then, the mountain has been renamed as "Louke Mountain", and the so-called "gram" means wood. And Lankeshan has gradually become the birthplace and holy land of Go.

The story ends here, but I made up an ending for him myself.

Wang Zhi returned to the cave in a panic and found that the old man who had given him beans walked over and waited for him. It turns out that he is a fairy, and Wang Zhi has a lot of fairy fate, so he wants to be his apprentice. Wang Zhi thought that since the world had nothing to worry about, it was better to seek immortality, so he followed the old gods to seek immortality.
