What is the background of Chief Guhuyuan in Black Myth: Wukong
Tower above, taller than a yardstick
Armor hanging, holding a long spear
Fierce in appearance, with a vacant stare
Whether foolish or wise, a confused appearance
Summary of Chief Guhuyuan
Gatekeeper, not a popular job. Guhuyuan has been stuck in this job for over a hundred years and has never been promoted. But he never complains about it, only because he greatly admires the Great King, and the Great King often rewards him with elixirs, which makes him very satisfied. He keeps the elixirs in a golden sandalwood box, lined with brocade. Every time he takes the medicine, he cleans his hands, rinses his mouth, burns incense, and pays respects to heaven and earth. In the mountains, there are many little monsters who have been rewarded with elixirs by the Great King, but none are as careful as Guhuyuan.
One day, a little monster asked Guhuyuan, “How can you guard the mountain every day and still be so energetic?” Guhuyuan honestly replied, “It’s because I have taken the Great King’s elixirs that I feel my strength never diminishes. You all can take more as I do.” The little monster said, “We have taken them too, but everyone feels it’s not effective, so we’re puzzled why yours are. Could it be that the Great King gave you better ones than us?” Guhuyuan was surprised and said, “They were distributed by the Guardian together, how could they be different for you and me?” The little monster still didn’t believe and insisted on swapping elixirs with Guhuyuan. After exchanging elixirs, the little monster still felt no effect, while Guhuyuan remained full of energy.
Well, as they say, “foolish people have their own luck.” But perhaps this is not compensation for being less intelligent, but rather the power of fanatical worship brought to that guardian.
