Recorded Across Generations.
For Those Who Come After.
It bears the form of a man, with a tiger's tail. Wherever it walks, light gathers at its side. Men call it a god. It is no god, only a beast so mighty that mortals have no other name for it but divine. It reigns alone upon a single peak, summoning wind, rain, and thunder with a snap of its fingers. No blade forged by man has ever touched its flesh. The people below have worshipped it for generations, naming it the Lord of Mount He. They do not hunt it but bring offerings instead: livestock, grain, firstborn children. In return, it grants them a sliver of its power. Legends say whoever eats the heart of Taifeng gains dominion over the skies, commanding the winds and calling the storms. For a long time, hunters have pursued that power, but none has ever tasted its heart, for none has lived long enough to stand before the beast. Those who tried were not defeated. They were simply erased. And so the mountain remains its kingdom.
状如人，而有虎尾。它行经之处，光聚于身侧。 世人称它为神。它并非神，只是一头兽，强得太过，强到凡人只能以“神”名之。它独踞一峰，翻手之间便唤起风雨雷霆，倾覆一方天时。世间无一柄人所铸之刃，能触它分毫。 山下有人世代供奉它，称它作和山之主。他们不猎它，只向它献祭：牲畜、谷物、头生的孩子。作为回报，它许他们沾得一线自己的天时之能：旱年求得一场薄雨，涝季拨开几分乌云，护住自家的收成。 相传，食泰逢之心者，可得掌天之能：号令狂风，唤起雷霆，翻覆整片苍穹。千百年来，猎人循此传言而来。可这心，至今无人尝过一口，因为从没有人能活着走到它面前。那些自负者，来了，未经厮杀，未经缠斗，便被抹去。它与他们之间的差距，太过悬殊。 于是这座山，仍是它的国。
棲 和山 Mount He
吉神泰逢司之，其狀如人而虎尾，是好居于䔻山之陽，出入有光。
