Are there any legends or fables about spiders or their sons in Japan?

No. Japanese urban legends are as follows:

Rip female

Shigeru Mizuki's Crack Woman

The legend of the cracked girl probably became popular in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s, just when "cram schools" became popular, so children often went out at night. Although convenience stores are everywhere now, there are many bright places even at night. But at that time, there was no convenience store, and when I got home after the cram school, it was dark outside, and even the shadow of adults could not be seen. It was in that situation that the legend of the girl with harelip spread. It is natural for Japanese children to feel scared.

The rumored girl with cleft lip at that time probably had the following characteristics:-

1。 The mouth will crack to tinnitus-the origin of the name of the cracked woman.

2。 I often cover my mouth with a big mask and ask people, "am I beautiful?" "If you answered" beautiful ",would you say" Is this beautiful? "? " Take the mask away and let people see the cracks. If you answer "ugly", you will be cut to death by a sickle.

3。 Run in 3 seconds 100 meter-almost no one can come back alive.

4。 Because she likes to eat coconut candy, if she gives it to her, she will be happy to go back. On the contrary, because she hates head wax, if she calls "head wax" three times, she will run away in fear.

5。 It is said that the reason why the mouth will crack is cosmetic failure or traffic accident.

6。 The girl with harelip is the youngest of the three sisters. Two identical sisters are somewhere.

Cleavage girl caused a sensation all over Japan, even in TV and magazines, but it was no longer the topic of children in less than a year, because more realistic campus profiteering began to cover all of Japan. No matter at that time, what is more terrible than monsters may be human beings.

(mythology) an animal like a raccoon.

Tengu is one of the most famous monsters in Japan. In China's Natural History "Shan Hai Jing", it is written that the Tengu is an animal like a fox, and it is called Tenghu (a fox living in the sky) in Japan.

Characteristics of tengu

In most people's impression, Tengu has a tall red nose, a bit like a long-nosed ape, with a round fan in his hand and is very tall. Japanese tengu originated in the late Middle Ages, and the appearance of ancient tengu is slightly different from the present image. At that time, people imagined that Tengu had a pair of big wings and a beak that could attack humans and could fly freely in the sky. It was also called "Crow Tengu". In the new animated film Hidden Girl, the twins Tang and Qian were inspired by crows and dogs. It is said that dogs will kidnap people who get lost in the forest, so the ancients called the kidnapped children "Tibetan women", which, as the name implies, were hidden by the gods.

So, when did the image of the high-nosed tengu begin to appear?

First of all, we must know a little about the background of the times at that time in order to understand the whole context of the legend of Tengu.

The earliest record of "Tiangou" comes from the secret history of Japan (a historical book recorded in chronological style). In 634 AD, it was recorded in the book that a monk heard a strange sound coming from the sky, and then something flew quickly overhead, like a meteor passing through the night sky, like the "Tianhu" in ancient Japanese legend. For the first time in the book, "Tiangou" was used to describe what the monk saw. However, no specific image of the tengu appeared later.

The story of the past and present, a work in Heian period (equivalent to The Search for the Gods written by Gan Bao in Jin Dynasty), records that Tiangou will become the image of a Buddha, a monk and a saint, or be possessed by people. People at that time imagined themselves as "eagles".

Religious statement

At this time, Tiangou was degraded from a god to a monster on earth by Buddhism.

During the Heian period, he advocated the pure land of Yongfu and chanted "There is no Amitabha in the south", which was widely circulated among emperors and nobles. It is said that Tiangou wanted to deceive the immature monks, so he took possession of the monks' bodies and made them sick. So the monks gathered to fight against the Tiangou, won the victory, and successfully drove away the Tiangou, thus boasting the infinite magic of Buddhism. Moreover, it compares Tengu to the source of deformity and unrest in the world, and advocates that Tengu should retire (root out the source and eliminate the future trouble forever), so some people say that the word "Tengu" was created by a monk of Tiantai Sect.

"Draw a picture of a harmful workshop" in the Kamakura era depicts the scene of Tengu fighting with Tiantai monks and finally losing. The action is like a sign, which is quite interesting. It is said that in this story, the Tengu Legion from China came to ask the Japanese Tengu for help, but the Japanese Tengu assumed an arrogant posture, which is called "self-slowness" and "high nose" in Japanese. Therefore, in ancient times, the tengu with the eagle as its main image became a tengu with a high nose in the late Middle Ages, and it is said that those mountain monks who are immature in practice and arrogant will become tengu after their death. Later generations even said that the appearance of Tiangou would lead to chaos in the world. It is still a mystery whether the mountain monks who caused all kinds of strange phenomena are related to the legend of Tiangou.

The image of resentful spirits

Taiping Ji (Taiping Guang Ji from China) records that there is a "Baifeng Shrine" in Shangjing District of Kyoto City. Sacrifice is Akihito. Baoyuan Rebellion was defeated, and Zanqi (now Xiangchuan County) went into exile, where he swallowed his anger and died. Its resentment turned into a dog, and it continued to make trouble in the world. Therefore, in people's minds, the leader of Tiangou is the image of Akihito. At this point, the saying that Tengu is the bane of mankind is gradually fixed.

Wulin master?

In the late Middle Ages, he entered the Muromachi era and wrote Kraft Paper. There is a story about "Tiangou" in it. It is said that Yuan Yijing, a famous Japanese military commander, was nicknamed Niu Ruowan. His father was defeated in the uprising, captured by the Ping family and placed in the pommel horse temple in Kyoto. So during his practice in the temple, Niu Ruowan made up his mind to destroy his father's enemy, Ping, and went into the mountains to practice his sword every day. One day, Tengu appeared on the mountain and said to Niu Ruowan, "I am Tengu who lives on this mountain. You want to crusade against Pingjia. I'll teach you the art of war! " So Niu Ruowan humbly asked for advice, learned a lot of swordsmanship from Tiangou, and soon became an excellent soldier. Later, it was considered to be a martial art learned from Tiangou, which hit opponent Hua Qing hard on the Fifth Bridge and jumped in the Battle of Tempo.

During this period, the view that Tengu is regarded as a ghost has been weak. The view that the so-called Tiangou is a mountain god began to prevail among the people. Tiangou, as seen from the monster map, is like an possessed martial arts expert in the legend of the swordsman in Shushan, who lives in seclusion in a remote place in the mountains and looks like a strange old man with a white beard and long eyebrows, while his secluded mountain is regarded as a place of practice.

Today, the image of Tiangou has finally been established, with wings, wearing the armor of the former military commander Shancheng, wearing a round fan (such as Zhuge Liang's feather fan) around his waist, and carrying hemp fibers with him to hide his body at any time. His long red nose is very tall and his arrogant posture is impressive. He stepped on the traditional Japanese high-legged clogs and went to the ground. Up to now, the statue of Tiangou is still enshrined in the pommel horse temple.

A dog with a long nose

Humanoid, appearing as a mountain mage, with a big red face, a long nose, wings on his back and a round fan in his hand, is very tall. Living in the deep mountains, he has divine power and super power, can fly freely in the sky, and has the power to tear human beings to pieces. With a flick of the fan in your hand, many big trees can be uprooted. Heaven and earth are omnipotent. It is said that Tiangou will kidnap people who get lost in the forest, so the ancients called the kidnapped child "Shen Yin", which, as the name implies, is hidden by the gods and will punish those who pollute the mountains.

Crow dog

Humanoid, appearing as a mountain mage, has a crow-like mouth and pointed ears, bird claws on the lower limbs and wings on the back. It's dogs' men. They often attack humans.

Ugly daughter

If you want my life, I will give it back to you. So karma, after a hundred robberies, often lives and dies;

You love my heart, and I pity you. So karma, after being robbed hundreds of times, is often tied up.

-Excerpt from Shurangama Sutra

Legend has it that the place and time when ghosts appear are very fixed. Ghosts appear from 2: 00 to 4: 00 midnight, equivalent to clowns.

The image of "ugly girl" comes from the album "Painting the Past and the Future" written by teacher Niayama. Formerly known as "Qiu Shi Shen", it means to pay homage to Qiu Shi. It is recorded in the book that at the third moment of ugliness (especially in the dark moonless night), a woman hangs a mirror on her chest and lights three candles on her head, and she will walk to a big tree (or fir tree) near the shrine and nail the cursed grass man to it. Of course, you can't be seen doing such a thing. If you are seen, your strength will be weakened, and sometimes you will hurt yourself. In fact, it is a curse of both sides. It is said that people who cast spells will go crazy easily.

"Ugly girl" is the ghost of a woman full of jealousy and resentment. This woman became a ghost because she lost her virginity and was abandoned. Usually, ordinary ghosts will become translucent or white, but spectre will appear red in appearance. Therefore, it is widely rumored in Japan that "ugly girls" usually wear red clothes.

A beautiful woman can easily arouse her strong jealousy, and she will use the art of swearing to impose misfortune on this woman. Therefore, if you meet an "ugly girl", you'd better not go near her to avoid getting into trouble.

It is said that the "ugly girl" is formally dressed in white, with a bronze mirror on her chest, a wooden comb in her mouth, a cast iron ring on her head, three candles (representing feelings, hatred and resentment), a hammer in one hand and a five-inch nail in the other, and casts spells at midnight. But when you think about it, it's really dangerous to walk around with a candle on your head. Maybe it will be self-defeating and cause a forest fire. The ugly girl with resentment just likes to go to the wild mountains. It's really a sweat for her! (Oops ~ Am I digressing? )

In the new Earbags, it says: Legendary ghosts sometimes include more than one woman and one child. Generally speaking, it should be called "parent-child ghost" or "ghost with children" If it appears near a shrine, it will be named after it. The most famous one is the "ugly girl" of a shrine.

The cartoon "The Magical Master's Eyebrow" also introduces the "ugly girl", while in Junji Ito's horror comics's "Shuang Yi" series, Shuang Yi, the hero, often wears an iron H, puts in three candles, and always tries to nail people in his mouth, inflicting vicious curses on others. This style is impressive!

There is a passage in "Teacher of Yin and Yang", which is adapted from Baku Yumemakura's original novel. Lingzi, the beloved princess of the pro-emperor, gave birth to a baby boy named Dunping, which made Yuji suddenly fall out of favor. Because the child she gave birth to was a baby girl Guangping, who could not inherit the child for the emperor, she was used by the Yin and Yang teachers to kill the pro-emperor through resentment. This passage is quite wonderful, and Yui Natsukawa, the heroine of national subjugation, plays the clown. At the same time, it is also interspersed with the ambiguous feelings between Wang Yuejun and Yuan. Yuan once played the flute for Wang Yuejun to please her. Unexpectedly, she and the emperor have such a tangled love. When Yuji became a "Daiji" (a spectre), Yuan touched her with true feelings, made her return to humanity, and also hurt Abe Harumi's heart (because Abe Harumi also likes Yuan).

This passage is my favorite, because the stories I saw as a child can't satisfy the imagination of Japanese female ghosts. The ugly girl is one of the typical ghosts in Japan. Yui Natsukawa has very good characteristics. Although she is not as charming and bitter as Joey Wong, the female ghost she plays is quite tasty. She likes her country of the dead very much. The quality of DVD is not very good, but she can still feel that Shikoku Village is full of supernatural atmosphere and follows ancient rituals.

There are many female monsters or female ghosts in the night, such as Gu Nv, Nagano, Hong Yeshou, Qiao Ji, Tamamo no Mae, the incarnation of a fox, the underground world, the ghost with a hundred eyes, the bell of a Taoist temple, several plates of monsters (from "Chrysanthemum in the Panwu") and so on. It seems that for a long time in Japan, women are the embodiment of ghosts, and the way to deal with such monsters or ghosts is very simple. We must solve the female ghost.

Snow Girl/Yukime

Living in the deep mountains, almost like people, has a beautiful appearance, and often attracts men who enter the snow-capped mountains to unmanned places, kisses them, completely freezes them, and takes their souls away as food. Snow Girl's child is called Xue Tong. In Japan, Xue Tong is regarded as the monster that brings the first snow in winter.

Legend-

According to legend, at the beginning of the Republic of China, because the people's wisdom was not open, the older generation especially believed in some fairy tales, and even thought that natural disasters were controlled by fairy tales, so there was the legend of Snow Girl, a mystery in the snow. As long as someone gets lost in the harsh environment of ice and snow, they will certainly meet the monster of Snow Girl, who is unpredictable in good and evil, and will deliberately play with the fickle and disloyal nature of men. Sometimes she deliberately leaves a frightened human male and threatens him. If she wants to live, she must keep her promise and abide by the laws of the underworld. She must not tell others about her existence and encounter, otherwise the betrayed Snow Girl will definitely kill the man.

But the man who wants to live will gain the trust of Xuenv in a panic, and promise to keep his promise when he goes back and not tell others about Xuenv's various behaviors. The evil woman Xuenv, who likes to test men's nature, will pretend to be an ordinary and virtuous human woman, deliberately find the man who made a promise with her, win the man's good feeling, and further tie the knot with him, give birth to a child with her and follow her for life. Seeing whether the man can keep his promise and spend the rest of his life with her safely, but that unforgettable adventure always haunts the man's doubts and fears. Finally, until one day, the man made up his mind to tell his closest wife the truth about his meeting with Snow Girl, hoping that she could share his nightmare. But the man never expected that in his midnight dream, the person he was most afraid of was the one beside him. It turns out that he has been with the enemy for a long time.

This ancient legend of Snow Girl first appeared in the Japanese monster novel The Mysterious Story of Koizumi Yakumo, which is a classic serial novel. It fully describes the ruthless characteristics of the monster, and through this betrayal story reflects the marriage between men and women who are also closely divorced and the amorous feelings of slim, sentimental and dare to love and hate women, although this ancient legend is both sad and cold.

Snow girl, a traditional Japanese monster, is a peerless beauty, wearing a white kimono, with long light blue hair and cold nature. She is a subordinate of the mountain god and is in charge of winter snow.

The legend of Snow Girl varies from place to place in Japan. For example, in Hanazono Sakura Valley, Niigata Prefecture, there is a legend: one day, after a single man knocked off an icicle tied to the roof, at night, a girl suddenly came to ask for accommodation and proposed to him. Because of the cold weather, in order to please the girl, the man specially burned a bucket of water for her to take a bath. Although the girl refused in every way, she still had no choice but to jump into the hot water and disappear into it, leaving only the slender icicles floating up.

In Yamagata Prefecture, there is a legend: On a snowy night, a girl came to an old couple's house to ask for directions, and the old couple asked her to keep warm by the local stove. In the middle of the night, the girl wanted to go out and continue on her way. Worried about her safety, the old grandfather grabbed her hand and tried to keep her. The girl's cold hands made grandpa's hair stand on end. In an instant, the girl turned into snow smoke and flew out from the skylight where the smoke was released.

In the remote area of Iwate Prefecture, there is a legend that Snow Girl will roam the snow field with many boys on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the winter night of the full moon. In addition to the above, in other places, there is a legend that Snow Girl is entrusted with her baby. There are also girls looking for accommodation on a snowy night. There is only a wisp of white clothes left in the next dynasty, and there is gold in the clothes. All kinds of legends are rich and interesting. Because snow is white, most of the legendary snow girls are dressed in white or have snow-white skin.

Give birth to a daughter

Ontology is human. The sensational banshee in Xia Yan's Kyougoku novel turned out to be a woman who died in childbirth. Because the child died without seeing it, the mother's obsession turned it into a monster. Generally, women who have given birth will appear in front of pedestrians with women covered in blood and ask them to hold their children for themselves. However, the baby is as heavy as a rock-but if you can catch it, it is said that something lucky will happen to you.

In Story of the Past and Present, I went with Yuan step by step and met a midwife on the way. At that time, Wu Ji was holding the child who gave birth to a daughter. No matter how her daughter begged, she wouldn't return it. However, although he returned to the station with the baby, when he dismounted and took a closer look, there were only three leaves left in his infancy.

Tamamo no Mae/Nine-tailed Fox/Sesshengshi

Tamamo no Mae is also known as the Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox of the Three Kingdoms. The so-called Three Kingdoms refers to China, India and Japan. Perhaps this fox has disturbed the civilizations of these three countries, so it has such a title. The fox was born in China. According to legend, it is the crystallization of Yin Qi, who knows how to be human. 1 1 century BC, she became a stunning beauty da ji and the darling of Angel, Shang Zhouwang at that time. Under the influence of da ji, the people of Shang Dynasty lived in dire straits and were soon overthrown by the emerging Western Zhou regime.

The fox also went to India, became the princess of Flower Prince Dalmatian, and then returned to China, temporarily incognito. In the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent its special envoy Kibi No Asomi Makibi to China, and the fox came to Japan by Kibi No Asomi Makibi's boat. Hundreds of years later, the man who called himself "Tamamo no Mae" won the favor and trust of the Bird Feather Emperor. Later, the emperor got a strange disease and lay in bed; So ministers began to doubt her and let Abe Harumi secretly give her divination. As a result, the true face of "Tamamo no Mae" was finally exposed. It turned out to be a Kyubi no Youko fox from China, so she fled the capital and fled to a far away place.

After Emperor Bird Feather knew the truth, he sent Mihura Yichun and general manager Hongzhi to lead an army of 15000 men to hunt down the fox. After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the fox was defeated and turned into a huge rock "killing stone" The fox turned to stone is very vicious. It often releases toxic gases to hurt people who come over. Later, Xuanweng, a famous monk, split the rock in half with his divine power, and then completely destroyed the evil spirits of the fox.

Now Nasuno's Sesshengshi has become one of the local attractions.

Biosynthetic stone is a poisonous stone on the mountain of Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Whether it is an insect or a bird, once it comes into contact with it, it will soon die. This poisonous stone can kill living things. According to scientists, this toxic stone is mostly near the crater. It is toxic because it is impregnated with sulfurous acid and hydrogen sulfide gas emitted by the volcano. Some temples removed it and placed it as a sacred object.

Bottle fishing demon

Fishing bottles are buckets used to draw water from wells. Please recall, imagine the actors drawing water in costume dramas! Does the bucket plop into the well as soon as the handle is put down? Yes, catching a bottle monster is a kind of monster that quickly falls on people from trees.

The bottle-catching demon is like a blue and white fur ball, which will go up and down on the hanging branches. I will mutter to myself, "Is the night shift over? Do you want to put the fishing bottle down? " And so on. His companions are many, some are like horses' heads swaying up and down, some are tattered music jars, and there are many kinds.

In addition, there is a Japanese proverb "Autumn is like catching a bottle demon", but this sentence means that the sun sets earlier in autumn, which has nothing to do with the bottle demon we are talking about here.

Double-mouthed woman

It is recorded in "Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts" that a woman misbehaves, urinates and urinates everywhere, her husband cheats, and her indiscretion is discovered by Mi Lianhua, while the possessed children (under 2 years old) who have died at home, those who kill their own children, and those who are possessed by children, will bite on the back of their necks, will keep eating, and will eventually be eaten to death by the possessed people (it can be said that they are dead).

There are monsters in famous folk stories. The mouth is said to be on the top of the head, but it is correct to grow near the back of the neck. This mouth is bigger than the front one and can eat several times the weight. Usually, the mouth is covered with hair. When no one is around, if there is food in front, it will use its hair as a tentacle and eat the food.

There is a legend in Chiba that tells the story of a stepmother who killed his ex-wife's son and became such a monster. In this story, the stepmother's vicious heart killed the child, so the child became a monster because of her resentment.

Legend-

A man in Chiba Prefecture married another wife after his wife died. Stepmother only loves her children and is so mean to the children left by her ex-wife that she won't even eat. Finally, one day, my ex-wife's children starved to death.

On the 49th day after the child's death, the axe in the hand of the man who came back from chopping wood accidentally hurt his wife's head. Strangely, the wound can't be cured. Later, it was found that the wound began to form a mouth slowly, and even the tongue and teeth appeared.

This wound often hurts badly, but strangely, it doesn't hurt as long as you put food in it. At this time, his wife will always unconsciously shout "I'm sorry!" Excuse me! " ……

There is also a legend that he is an ignorant farmer, and the standard of mate selection is "not eating"! ! As a result, some people have encountered such a pervert. However, in the later days, the farmer found that his wife stopped eating, but the rice in the kitchen was getting less and less every day. The surprised farmer slipped back immediately after going out one day and hid in the patio to see what was going on.

As a result, he saw a mouth at the back of his wife's head, and then turned his hair into a snake-like tentacle to provide food for the mouth at the back of his head. ...

If the front is a ghost wandering in the world, then the back is simply a monster. Hmm. How interesting .....

Baimuyao

The legendary hundred-eyed monsters in western Europe, mostly giant monsters, spread to Japan and became banshees with eyes all over their bodies. It is said that the banshee seduces men to take people's eyes for their own use. If she takes a hundred eyes, she will become an uncontrollable demon.

Legend has it that when a mage went to recover her, she had 98 eyes, and the evil light from 98 eyes made the mage unable to move. In order not to be filled by the Ophthalmicus, the mage destroyed his eyes, and finally sealed the two main eyes on the Ophthalmicus' head with the ashes of Buddha incense before putting it in.

Supreme wisdom

Prajna does not mean wisdom in Buddhism, but a kind of monster in Japanese legend, or a kind of resentment. It is said that it is an evil spirit formed by women's strong jealousy and resentment. Prajna lives in the mountains and eats people at midnight. It's a female ghost who steals children. She will give a creepy and terrible laugh.

Hiroshi, a famous Japanese hero, is a nobleman in heian period. He has fine features and likes many women. According to the custom of that era, emperors and nobles not only married wives, but also married many wing houses. The heroine's name is "Six Imperial Meals". She used to live a good life as a crown princess, but later she lost her husband and fell in love with Guangyuan. However, Guangyuan soon showed coldness to her, so she was very upset and began to envy "Kwai Shang" and "Kwai Shang" as Guangyuan's wives. Later, the Six Emperors Restaurant became Prajna Paramita, which was difficult everywhere.

tool

Children are afraid to go to the toilet alone, probably because they are afraid of dark corners or some places in the school, just like the "seven wonders of the campus" common in comics, science classrooms, art classrooms, sports equipment rooms, basements, health rooms and toilets, which have become common places in haunted schools.

For example, the ghost doll flower in the toilet is a typical deformation from the inheritance story. Since the end of World War II, it has been widely rumored that someone will take the initiative to hand you toilet paper. When you say thank you, the toilet paper disappears. It is said that "ghost doll Hanako" often lingers in the toilet after being killed by bad people, or looks for scapegoats, knocks on the toilet door or drags the child into the toilet to drown, which is quite scary. Some school teachers even threatened students with Hanako: "If you don't obey, you will be caught by the ghost doll Hanako if you don't hand in your homework!" So it became a nightmare for Japanese children. The origin of haunted schools and people with ghosts in toilets can be described in detail in horror comics's School for the Undead.

Finally, by the way, if you are alone in the school toilet, please don't do the following actions:

1: Don't look in the mirror when washing your hands;

2: Don't look at the ceiling when going to the toilet;

Don't turn your head when you hear someone calling you from behind.

If you don't comply, you will be responsible for all the consequences.

Earthquake catfish

There is a legend in ancient China that the crocodile rolled over and shook. Around the 7th and 8th centuries, this legend was introduced to Japan. At the end of 16, the legend of "earthquake catfish" appeared among Japanese people: the earth was supported by a huge catfish, and the catfish was unhappy, and its tail shook, causing an earthquake.

This legend may be that the ancient Japanese noticed the abnormal behavior of catfish before the earthquake. 1855 Before the Tokyo earthquake with M = 6.9, Shinozaki discovered a large number of catfish that were rarely seen when fishing, and predicted the earthquake. Before 1923 Tokyo M8.3 earthquake, a large number of catfish groups migrated abnormally. Therefore, there is a Japanese proverb called "catfish make a mess, and an earthquake strikes."

From 65438 to 0979, Mo Guang, an honorary professor of Tokyo University, who is known as "Dr. Catfish", praised his 45-year research on the relationship between fish and earthquakes. The largest mass amateur earthquake prediction research organization established in Japan from 65438 to 0976 was also named "Catfish Club". In order to support seismologists to study catfish to predict earthquakes, the Tokyo Municipal Government allocated11977 yen for special research on catfish habits in fiscal year1977.

gun

It is said that an animal has the shape of a crow, the wings of a black swan, the claws of an eagle and the tail of an eel. This is a very controversial monster. As long as it thinks you are a bad person, you will not live for 24 hours. Its killing methods are extremely cruel and can't be described in words. But if it determines that you are a good person, you will be protected by him for life. So some people regard it as an object of worship.

Another legend is that Fujiwara, a close minister among the 36 immortals in the Song Dynasty, threw his crown hat under the imperial court because of a bitter quarrel between the party code and Fujiwara, and was demoted to Lu Aoshou by the emperor. Just after receiving the imperial edict to move to the left, the True Party learned that Hang Cheng had been promoted to Tibetan Head, and finally died in Lu Ao in 998.

However, the disappearance of the body cannot take away the resentment hovering in the air. Soon, strange birds with ape heads, beavers and anticlimactic appeared all over Japan-they ate crops everywhere like locusts, and even unscrupulously pecked at imperial meals in pavilions. The common people call this bird that roars like a tiger Kun.

1 153, the peaceful Gong Jing Palace was suddenly covered by dark clouds pouring out of the forests in three directions in the east. The emperor's bodyguard called ministers to discuss countermeasures, but prayers and blessings had no effect. So Qunqing recommended the bravest person in the world-Nanbenye Lai Zheng to expel evil spirits and monsters. Lai Zheng, who took over this hot potato, went to the guarding society to pray, and then entered ouchi. When it was ugly, the dark clouds appeared again, and countless birds emerged from the clouds. Lai Zheng bent his bow and arrow, recited the name of "Great Bodhisattva with Eight Banners in South China" and shot the first one. However, the body of the gun caused infectious diseases such as plague, so it was loaded into an empty boat and floated down the river from Yachuan to the sea.
