Ghosts travel at night.

One legend is that ...

In the middle of peace, there was a ghost named the boy who swallowed wine in Dajiangshan. He led a group of ghosts to live there. It is terrible to swallow a boy with wine that eats human flesh, and such a thing has also spread to Beijing. At this time, Ikeda Yan Na's daughter disappeared. The result of divination by Yin and Yang master "Abe Harumi" was captured by the ghosts of mountains and rivers. An emperor who was very worried about the development of the situation ordered the famous hero "Yuan" to conquer the boy with wine. In addition to Yuan He and the four heavenly kings (Watanabe Gang, Gong Shi Sakata, Bubu and Zhenguang Cone Well), there are six people, namely Kang Honghe. Before they set out to fight the devil, they went to Shimizu Hachiba, lived in Yoshijima and Kumano Shrine, and asked for God's protection.

On the way, thousands of fighters came to help, so six people said, "The opponent is a miracle. If you go to so many people, you will only scare it away to other countries. It is better to win with tricks. " So the group went on until they came to the foot of a mountain full of cherry blossoms, where they met three old people. "Are you going to conquer that boy? Please accept this demon, ghost, poisoned wine and star pocket. But all ghosts like wine. It is a panacea for people, but a deadly poison for ghosts. Good luck! " Three old people took them to the stone house where the ghost was, and the ghost disappeared. It turns out that they are the gods of Shimizu Yasaka, Youxi and Kumano Shrine. This incident made everyone very excited, so they moved on and finally reached the stone house where the ghost was.

Of course, the ghost was very suspicious of their arrival, but under Guang Lai's clever tongue and the aroma of wine, he gradually relaxed his vigilance. Some stories say that they ate the girl's meat in order to dispel the ghost's suspicion. ) Guang Lai and others were entertained by a grand banquet, and the ghosts fell asleep unconsciously under the influence of alcohol. Seeing that the time had come, Guang Lai sneaked into the boy's room. At this time, the boy who turned into a boy at the banquet was already in his true colors, more than 3 meters long, with fiery red hair and two horns on his head, sleeping. However, it is indeed the omnipotence of ghosts and gods. It suddenly woke up at the moment when Guang Lai drew his sword, but it was helpless under the medicine of the wine. "I am Guang Lai, come on!" With the flash of a shouting knife light, the head of the boy who swallowed wine was cut off by a knife. But the ghost's head is still immortal, flying in the air and in Guang Lai. Guang Lai used the Starbag to escape the disaster. The ghost whose leader was killed tried to attack Guang Lai and his party, but their bodies were restrained by alcohol, and they were finally solved one by one. After killing all the ghosts beautifully, Guang Lai and others rescued the robbed girl and got rich rewards from the emperor. This is the very famous Japanese folklore "Drink a boy and retire".

In fact, Yuan and the Four Heavenly Kings in this story have a deep relationship with the magic way. Their proud martial arts coincide with magic, and they often win by magic. In Japan, the existence of the alien world is basically confined to the religious field, and samurai rarely intervene, so Guang Lai and others are rare exceptions. Perhaps for this reason, the knives used to kill monsters are called famous knives, and some of them have been handed down now. Let's introduce the Excalibur they used-Tongzi Qiegang. Angang is a famous craftsman living in the luxury country of heian period. As his highest masterpiece, Tongzi Che Angang is known as the Five Swords of Muromachi era (i.e. Guimaru Guogang, Dadian Shiguang, Mitsui Yuezuojin, Zhumaru Henderson and Tongzi Che Angang). This knife, which is famous for killing the boy who swallowed wine, was circulated in the general's home in Muromachi, and was used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Jiazhong successively. Now it is also collected as a national treasure in Tokyo National Museum.

Japanese traditional monsters, known to all women and children, live in the deep mountains and have a beautiful appearance almost like people. They often attract men who enter the snow-capped mountains to places where no one is there, kiss them, and freeze them completely at the same time, taking their souls away as food. Snow Girl's child is called Xue Tong. In Japan, Xue Tong is considered as the monster that brings the first snow in winter. Snow Girl is a peerless beauty, wearing a white kimono, with long light blue hair and cold nature. They belong to the mountain gods and are in charge of winter snow. The young snow girl is harmless to people, and the adult snow girl will freeze her favorite human male forever and bring it back to the cave where she lives and put it up for her to watch.

Legend-

According to legend, in the early days of the Republic of Japan, due to the ignorance of the people, the older generation especially believed in some legends of monsters, and even thought that natural disasters were controlled by monsters, 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 men. She sometimes deliberately leaves frightened human males.

Threaten him, if you want to live, you must keep your promise and obey the laws of the underworld, and you must not tell others about her existence and her encounter, otherwise the betrayed Snow Girl will definitely take that person's life to warn the monster's laws.

However, a man who wants to live will gain the trust of Xuenv in a panic, and promise to keep his promise when he goes back. He will not tell others about Xuenv's various behaviors, but he likes to test men's qualitative evil female Xuenv.

Next, she will pretend to be an ordinary and virtuous human woman, deliberately look for the man who made a promise with her, win the man's good feeling, further marry him, give birth to a child with her, and follow her all her life to monitor whether the man can keep his promise.

I will spend the rest of my life with her safely, but that unforgettable adventure always haunts men's doubts and fears. Finally, one day, the man made up his mind to tell his closest wife the truth about his meeting with Snow Girl.

I hope she can share his nightmare, but the man never imagined that in his midnight dream, the most terrible dream was the person beside him. It turned out that he slept with the enemy for a long time and broke his promise. Snow girl had to kill the man who had children with him with tears in her eyes, and sadly took the children back to the ice and snow.

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.

There is a small lake near the Inagawa Shrine in Japan, which is called Salvation Lake. There are often river children in the lake. Because the river boy is a household name in Japan, there are many sayings. It's more common for a bird-headed man to wear tortoise shells and have a bowl-shaped concave mirror on his head, which is full of water. If he is alive, no water will die. His hands are connected, they can stretch, and they can fly with the help of fart. It is recorded in folk books that we often see, such as Night of the Hundred Ghosts, Pepsi Record, Record of Ten Ghosts, Legend of the Monster and so on.

The legend of the river boy originated from the upper reaches of the Yellow River valley in China. It was called "Water Tiger" in ancient times, also known as "Hebo". In the early Warring States period, in this place, Ye County, Wei State. Every year when the rainy season comes, the river surges and floods, often taking away many lives and property. Local witches collude with officials to collect money under the pretext of "Hebo marries" and must sacrifice young women to please Hebo. It was not until a new magistrate named Ximen Bao came to Yexian County that the superstition of "Hebo marries" was broken. Later mentioned "Hebo Married", naturally reminiscent of the typical story of outwitting tyranny.

After "Hebo" spread to Japan, it became a well-known "river boy". It is said that a leader named Jiuqianfang led a group of river children from China to live in Yunxian Hot Springs, a ball mill in Kyushu. He often leads his men to appear in the village, causing a lot of trouble. Because he has a Machamp who can only lead a horse to the river, no one in the village can beat him. Katou Kiyomasa, the Duke of Kumamoto, who knew about it, went on the rampage, and used the ape, the boy's most hated ape, to severely teach the boy a lesson, because it harmed others and himself. From then on, the river boy had to live in Tsukawa, Kumamoto Prefecture. Later, he became the emissary of the shrine, the branch of which was located on the Chiyu River in Edo, and Ma's mansion (His Highness kurume) later moved to Nijo Castle.

It is said that in order to defeat 9,000 square meters, Katou Kiyomasa took the river boy to the Hell Valley, which spewed sulfur gas. He not only poisoned the river, but also threw hot stones into the pool. Finally, he gathered the mountain apes that he hated the most and began to attack. Because of the sulfur heat, the water on the head gradually disappeared. With magic, he finally gave in easily and had to beg the duke to let him go and ensure that he would never hurt this place again.

Daocheng temple clock

The bell of the temple turned into a monster, turned people into monks and forgot the past. I don't know the truth.

How about a fake one?

Legend: Taoist temple enters the bell.

In ancient times, there was a man named, who fell in love with a monk who went to Xiongye Temple to worship Buddha. As a monk, An Zhen resolutely left the Qing Dynasty. For the sake of her beloved, Qing Ji went all the way to pursue an Zhen and suffered a lot. When she finally caught up with Anzhen, people were not like people, and ghosts were not like ghosts. An Zhen was scared and ran, and Qing Qi chased him all the way. An Zhen first crossed a big river. When Qing Ji chased her, there was no boat. She jumped into the river and became a big fish. As a result, the snake was caught up. The monks in the temple couldn't cope with snakes, so they treasured Ann in the clock. After Qing Ji chased him in, she knew he was hiding there. She was suddenly entangled in the clock, but it was strong. Finally, Qing Ji estimated that she was helpless, but she didn't want to give up, so she spontaneously ignited and burned herself with the clock and the monks inside. If you can't live with the person you love, then die together.

According to the original sigh, how sad, helpless and angry Qing Ji was at that time!

According to legend, Ibaraki is a subordinate of a boy who swallowed wine. In the famous folk song Rashomon and Kabuki Eight Bridges, it is called "Ghost of Rashomon". About his story, here is just a brief introduction:

It is said that one night, Yuan's retainer Watanabe just returned to his home from his official position. Walking on a bridge, I suddenly saw a beautiful woman wandering around. When I inquired, I found that he had recently moved to Beijing and lived in five mansions. Being unfamiliar with this road, I hesitated. Seeing that it was getting late, Watanabe helped the woman get on the horse, and the two rode away to the five houses.

So far, it can be regarded as a normal plot of romance novels; However, just like the bridge in a serial, the protagonist of such stories has always played the role of "wise after the event"-in this way, the beauty suddenly opened her mouth and whispered, "My home is actually outside the capital." Watanabe naturally asked, "Dare you ask where the young lady lives?" So the form suddenly reversed: "My mother lives in Mount Atago!" Then he grabbed the hero's bun and jumped into the darkness. Unfortunately, Ibaraki was a secret. The famous knife borrowed from Guang Lai hung around Watanabe's waist, so he snorted, "The knife flashed" and Ibaraki's arm with a bun was cut off. In order to show his bravery, Watanabe gave his broken arm to Yuan, who asked Abe to perform divination and came to the conclusion that "Watanabe must avoid things for seven days". However, on the sixth day, his menstruation (the foster mother) Zhenchai suddenly visited and just broke the taboo and met her. While speaking, True Wood caught a glimpse of Brokeback (why are you in Gang's mansion? ! ), he said, "Oh, why is my arm here?" With that, he grabbed the brokeback, smiled at the whole city and left like a gust of wind. ...

As for the life experience of Ibaraki Jidu, he is usually regarded as an abandoned child. According to legend, his parents are Tsutsumu. Because the mother was pregnant for more than 16 months, Ibaraki was called "the devil" from birth and was hated by everyone. Later, he was adopted by the barber shop owner. After a few years, he grew into an adult's physique. On one occasion, he accidentally scratched a guest's scalp at work and bled out. Ibaraki sticks out his tongue and licks it, but it is especially sweet-for this reason, he is naturally spurned by everyone. Finally, one night, he found that his reflection in the water mirror was ghostly, so he listened to the call of fate, abandoned the world and returned to Tuoba Mountain. In addition, in "Yu Jia Cao Zi", you can also see the plot of the battle between Ibaraki and Watanabe (hate because of love? )。

In ancient times, people called it "red leaf hunting". Watching red leaves in the wild mountains in autumn was very important from the court to the common people. Japanese people prefer the vitality of "Maple Leaf Red in February", but when looking at the red leaves, they can only look out and can't stare quietly. It is said that the color of red leaves is dyed red with the blood of maple ghosts. The deathday of the maple ghost is the day after the Red Leaf Festival.

Legend-

This Miss Hongye, known as the "Ghost Hider", is more like an "absolute beauty" than a boy who was swallowed by wine.

The original name of Young Hongye is Wu Ye, and its body comes from Molizhi's "sixth day" (once said to be in the sky). Wu Ye, who has been carefully cared for and gradually grown up, is as beautiful as flowers and jade, but unfortunately it coincides with the word "femme fatale". A few years later, Wu Ye married a wealthy family nearby, but the bride was actually a copy of the witch.

Later, Hongye changed her name and surname and became Yuan Zhen's concubine. Soon, Jingji's wife suddenly became seriously ill, and ghosts appeared at home from time to time. Jingji's son, noticing Hongye's plot, immediately chased Hongye to Huyin.

However, after the red leaves arrived in Huyin, a group of former aristocrats (mostly descendants of the Pingmen remnant party) who were dissatisfied with the court gathered. Covered with ghosts, they rampaged through the village, burning, killing and looting. When the news reached the capital, the emperor immediately ordered a crackdown.

After that, of course, it ended with "the power of justice can't be ignored": although Hongye resisted with the power of the devil on the sixth day, Mao Wei, who held the sword to subdue the devil, didn't care at all-so Hongye, who was holding the sad wish to destroy the world, had to temporarily hide in Liulu; Hundreds of years later, it reappeared in the world as a human being, and its new name was Nobunaga.

That is to say, beavers, there are many beavers in Japan that turn into a grateful story. Originally, the beaver was an animal, but its true face was a raccoon. Why did it become a monster passed down by our ancestors? Probably because I was hungry, I went to a nearby village or farmland to find food while it was dark at night (because it was originally Nocturnal Animals). Sometimes people find that the crops have not been eaten by anyone, and the grain originally put in the warehouse has disappeared somehow, thinking that there is no trace of Rank Cloud S, and it is also rumored that a monster like a child will come into the house at night and make a strange noise, so that the door will be closed in fear. These were later suspected to be the ghost of this raccoon!

Since a long time ago, raccoons have always given people the impression that they are easy to get close to and get along very well with people living in the mountains. In some places, raccoons, like foxes, are regarded as gods by the Japanese, but raccoons seem to be more popular than foxes, probably because they are very lovable because of their characteristics similar to dark circles.

Therefore, in many folk stories, the role played by raccoons is always humorous and resourceful. It is really different from the cunning fox who is good at cheating, which is also the difference between the two animals in people's minds.

Beavers like to suddenly get into corners or crevices, hide from people, or dig their own graves there. In short, the transformation method is very strange, and I usually like to make trouble. No wonder Takada's animated film (Happy Touch Beaver) chose Beaver to save the human environmental crisis. This film mainly discusses the development of hillside fields. Taiwan Province Province has faced the same problem in recent years, such as the mudslide flood caused by deforestation on hillside fields.

There are many different versions of the famous story "Wenfu teapot" (the teapot used to make tea). The most common saying is that raccoons in the market turned into teapots and sold them to monks in temples. When the young monk rubbed the bottom of the teapot to make tea, the raccoon complained, "It hurts to grind it like this, so it won't be lighter!" " When the young monk poured water into the teapot and lit the fire to boil water, he heard a weak voice from the teapot: "It's so hot! I'm going to burn to death. " Suddenly the raccoon appeared with its head, body and limbs, and ran away with its burning tail between its legs. By the way, the so-called "Wen Fu" refers to the sound made when hot water is boiling in a teapot. )

Transformation like this is really bad. I tried to hide my eyes and ears, but I finally showed my true colors and ran away. What an interesting monster! Other raccoons will become monks and play a puzzle game with monks in other temples. As a result, they were unwilling to lose, so they stabbed each other with a kitchen knife or picked up hot stones under the stove and threw them at each other. Knowing that one's wisdom can't defeat mankind, one has to put on a bad posture. In fact, they are a sore loser.

However, raccoons don't just play some pranks. Some raccoons who have been helped by human beings, in order to repay their kindness, will become women to sell teapots or horses and thank their benefactors with the income they earn (there are also stories similar to the fox's gratitude). Whether it is repaying kindness or making trouble, it will eventually be seen through by human beings. This is the interesting thing about raccoons. Beavers often show some behaviors that make everyone laugh, such as burning their tails while playing with fire, making all kinds of strange noises, stealing other people's home-brewed wine, getting drunk and falling asleep in the yard.

The name is "night wandering girl", "celestial girl" or "ghost bird" Can absorb people's souls, live in places where phosphorus fires shine, often come out at night, put on feathers and become birds, take off feathers and become women. Legend has it that this kind of thing is made by women (so these things are all women), and they like to hold other people's children best. If a family with a baby forgets to put away the baby clothes hanging outside the house at night, once it is found, it will leave two drops of blood on it as a mark ...; But don't worry, it is said that they all came out in the evening of July and August.

Strange Tales mentioned its origin, saying it was the obsession of my dead mother (this thing again? ! ), holding the baby at night, the baby's cry in his arms turned into the cuckoo's cry. In fact, we can imagine a woman covered in blood, holding a crying baby, stumbling alone in the pouring rain. In the wilderness where no one is around, she can only use her own hands to feebly block the storm for her children. In the rain curtain, the original beautiful face is intertwined with complex expressions such as confusion, pain, sadness and resentment.

I don't know why the predecessors demonized them into monsters who robbed other people's babies. In fact, they are just poor mothers who want to spend more time with their children in this world.

In fact, the legend of bird catching comes from China. The gobbledygook says: "Birds can catch people's breath, and today people are like a cloud of wet birds. It is said that it was caused by maternal death. You can take a man's son as your own. There are two breasts on the chest, and if there is a boy's home, blood is on his clothes. Now people don't want to show their clothes, which is why. " , is it the same? Ha ha. However, when the cuckoo swept the country as a monster, a beautiful and charming story was born and spread rapidly. This is the story of Feather Fairy, which is a variation of ancient birds. There is a story in Lu Xun's "Ancient Novel Hooking and Sinking": "A bird flies by day and hides at night, covering ghosts and gods, and its clothes and feathers are birds, and its clothes are women. A fairy, a night girl, a Crookedstar, an invisible man. Birds have no children and like to take other people's children as sons. Nowadays, children's clothes don't want to be exposed at night. I love it for this thing. Clothes that want to bring blood are to bring children. The dead are called ghost birds, and there are many in Jingzhou. Yesterday, a man in Zhang Yu saw six or seven women wearing Tanaka, but they didn't know it was a bird. They crawled to get the sweater, took it and hid it, and then went to find the bird. Birds go to sweaters and clothes fly away. A bird alone cannot marry a man and give birth to three girls. Her mother's maid asked her father that she knew the clothes were under Jimmy, so she took them and flew away. Then I greeted my three daughters with clothes, and the clothes of my three daughters also flew away. Now it's called a ghost car. "

Double-mouthed woman

It is recorded in "Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts" that women are disorderly, urinate and defecate everywhere, their husbands cheat, and obscene things are discovered by Mi Lianhua God, while the possessed person, the child (under 2 years old) has died at home, and the person who killed his child is possessed by the child, and will take a bite on the back of his neck, keep eating, and finally be eaten to death by the possessed person (it can be said that he is dead).

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 his mate selection standard is "don't eat"! ! 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

The so-called "flying demon", after investigation, should be a "disabled woman" from Buddhism in folklore.

Dongdong, who has stunning beauty but belongs to dangerous level, often comes out to hang out at night. The men she's looking for are usually ..., sucking the last drop of blood all over her body, stealing their calves and killing them. Alas, it is another example of demonizing women (it seems to be deeply influenced by China's ancient "femme fatale"). Originally a negative tutorial used by Buddhism to exhort disciples, it was expanded after it was spread to the people. It even said that "Wang He and his sister are happy" and "Yin and da ji" are typical stories of "flying demons". This time, it is even worse. You not only lost your life, but also your country and people.

There is also an old saying that "flying demons" generally come from women born in Bingwu. ...
