Houyi
Houyi was very good at archery and he was also a god of a archery.
Once upon a time, there were ten suns in the sky. Each of them was in form of a three-legged bird. The ten Sun-Birds all had a regular life. Each day only one Sun-Bird had to shine the world and the otheres relaxed or slept in a mysterious forest.
However, one day in the morning, the ten Sun-Birds were tired of having a routine life and then decided that all of them should rise at the same time. They did that for no reason but for fun.The temperature on the earth was getting higher and higher.Most worst thing is that the crops shrivelled in the fields. Lakes and ponds dried up; human and animals cowered in shelters or collapsed from exhaustion.
The greatest god of the heaven heard that people were now suffering from serious heat and he asked Houyi to descend from heaven to aid mankind.After that,he carried his bow and arrow down to the arth and was ready to fight with the Sun-Birds.But they were still mischievous and didn't want to keep God's orders.Then,Houyi lifted his bow and shot them down one by one as quick as a flash.Upon killing the ninth,he left one because he knew that sinshine was important to mankind and people couldn't live without sun.
This is why there is only one sun in the sky now.
