In the hearts of the Chinese ancients, Queen Mother of the West has always been a graceful, noble, and aloof kind goddess. She lives in the sacred place of Yaochi in the Tianshan Mountains of the Kunlun Mountains. There are three thousand years of flowering and three thousand years of fruit in the territory of the "Queen Mother Flat Peach". .
In the Chinese ancient book "The Internal Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", it is said that the Virgin Mary was stunning and gave a flat peach to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the "Biography of the Emperor Mu", it is recorded that the Virgin Mary was graceful and gentle in her words and deeds.
All of these personified the image of Queen Mother of the West, and constructed the image of a kind and holy goddess.
However, according to the records in the "Shan Hai Jing", the Mother of the Jade Lake is like a human, with leopard tail and tiger teeth, screaming to the sky, long hair flying, bearing the fate, in charge of human punishment, and is responsible for spreading plague viruses and disasters. .....
"Shanhaijing·The Great Wilderness Western Classic" reads: "There are people, Dai Sheng, tiger teeth, leopard tail, the cave, the name is Xi Wangmu".
It also contained: "The Queen Mother of the West once lived in the mountain of Yushan. She looks like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, good at howling, and a shaggy hair.
At this time, the'Queen of the West' that appeared in front of Han Yu Xiaotian's eyes was really like the record in the Shan Hai Jing, an incomparably hideous ancient beast, responsible for guarding the Jade Lake.....
.......
"Hehe, it seems that the rumors are really unreliable. Well, but it is also possible that the Queen Mother of the ancients did not necessarily come from one place..."
Han Yu Xiaotian compared the ancient beast Queen Mother West with the image of Queen Mother West in myths and legends, and not only shook her head.
Myths and legends are mostly people's imaginations, or they are fabricated according to the needs of social civilization at that time, and become spiritual beliefs. The real things may be far from it.
The Queen Mother West in front of him is the best proof.

After sighing, Hanyu Xiaotian's eyes turned to the one who grew up in the Yaochi~
‘Fairy Tree’-Flat Peach Tree.
Although the image of Queen Mother of the West was out of Han Yu Xiaotian's expectations, the flat peach tree in the Chinese legend really exists, and it is the ‘fairy root’ grown from Yaochi’s spirit!
In Chinese myths and legends, there have long been Queen Mothers and Yaochi flat peaches. According to legend, the flat peach planted by the Western Queen is the fairy root of the fairy tree. The small peach tree matures every three thousand years. People eat a light body and become a god. The tree matures once in 6,000 years, and people eat it soaring in the daytime, and live forever; the best one matures in 9,000 years, people live with the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon are the same...
The record about Queen Mother Pantao is not only found in some unnecessary myths such as "Journey to the West", it is recorded in many ancient Chinese books.
The ancient book "Han Wudi Neizhuan" in the Han and Jin Dynasties recorded the medicine of immortality as "Xiantao".
It is said that this peach is "big as a duck egg, round shape and green", "peach taste is sweet and full of taste", "three thousand years of life, the midsummer land is thin, and it cannot be planted."
Because this fairy peach is related to the Queen Mother of the West, it is called the "Queen Mother Peach". For example, there is also a record in Volume 1 of "Luoyang Jialan Ji": "There is a fairy peach whose color is red, and the surface and the inside shine through. Also out of Kunlun Mountain. One said Queen Mother Peach."

"This is the so-called secret of becoming immortal... Yaochi... Pantao?"
Han Yu Xiaotian's eyes were shining brightly at this jade pond condensed from the liquidization of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, and the peach-shaped fruit growing on the ‘fairy root’, his eyes shining...
