In ancient times, people called it "Red Leaf Hunting" to watch red leaves in the wild mountains in autumn, which was an activity valued by the people from the upper court to the lower court. Japanese people prefer the sense of vitality of "maple leaves are red in February", but when watching red leaves, they can only look out and can't stare at them quietly. It is said that the color of red leaves is red with the blood of maple ghosts. The deathday of the Maple Ghost is the day after the Red Leaf Festival. Legend has it that this Miss Hongye, known as the "hidden ghost girl", is more "absolute beauty" than the boy who swallowed wine. The original name of the young red leaf is Wu Ye, and its body comes from the "sixth day" of Molizhi (once said to be in heaven). Wu Ye, who has been carefully cared for and gradually grown up, is as beautiful as flowers and jade, but unfortunately coincides with the word "femme fatale". A few years later, Wu Ye married a wealthy family nearby, but the bride was actually just a doppelganger of the witch girl. Later, Hongye changed her name and became Yuanjingji's concubine. Soon, Jingji's wife suddenly became seriously ill, and ghosts appeared at home from time to time. The son of Jingji, who noticed the plot of Hongye, immediately chased Hongye to Huyin. However, after Hongye arrived in Huyin, a group of former aristocrats (mostly descendants of Pingmen remnant party) who were dissatisfied with the court gathered. Their heads were covered with ghosts, and they were bullying, burning and looting in the village. When the news reached the capital, the emperor immediately ordered Ping Weimao to crusade. 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, Wei Mao, who was holding the sword to subdue the devil, didn't care at all-so Hongye, who was holding the sad wish to wipe out the world, had to temporarily hide in the six roads; Hundreds of years later, it reappeared in the world as a man, and its new name was Nobunaga

1 and Otter

, also known as Otter Beaver. There are many stories in Japan that Otter Beaver turned into a kind of animal, but its true face is raccoon. Why did it become a monster passed down by our ancestors? Probably because I was hungry, I took advantage of the dark at night (because it was originally a nocturnal animal) to find food in nearby villages or farmland. Sometimes people find that the crops have not been eaten by anyone, and the grain originally put in the warehouse has somehow disappeared, thinking that there is no trace of the rank cloud S. It was also rumored that at night, a monster like a child would enter the house and make a strange noise, so that the door was closed in fear. These were later suspected to be the ghosts of this raccoon dog! From 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 worshipped by the Japanese as gods, but raccoons seem to be more popular than foxes, perhaps because of their dark circles-like characteristics, which are very pleasing. Therefore, in many folk stories, the role played by the raccoon dog is always humorous and witty, and it has the wisdom to improvise. 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 go into corners or crevices, hide from people, or dig their own graves there. In short, the transformation method is very strange, and he likes to make trouble at ordinary times. No wonder Takada's animated film (Happy Touch the Beaver) will choose the Beaver to save the environmental crisis of mankind. This film mainly discusses the development of hillside fields, and Taiwan Province has also faced the same problem in recent years, such as the flood of debris flow caused by deforestation of hillside fields is the best example. There are many different versions of the famous story "Wenfu Tea Pot" (that is, the tea pot used to make tea). The most common saying is that the raccoon dog turned into a tea pot in the market was sold to monks in the temple. When the young monk rubbed the bottom of the tea pot and was ready to make tea, the raccoon complained, "It hurts to grind like this, young monk, so you won't be lighter!" When the young monk poured water into the tea kettle and lit the fire to boil the water, he heard a weak voice from the tea kettle, "It's so hot! I'm going to burn to death. "Suddenly the raccoon dog 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 when hot water boils in a tea kettle. ) The 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 a funny monster! Other raccoons will turn into monks, and play a puzzle game with monks in other temples. As a result, they are unwilling to lose, so they stab each other with a kitchen knife, or pick up hot stones under the stove and throw them at each other. Knowing that their wisdom can't win over human beings, they have to put on a bad attitude. In fact, they are a guy who can't afford to lose. However, raccoons don't just do some mischief. Some raccoons who have been helped by human beings will turn into women to sell tea pots or horses in order to repay their kindness, and use the earned income to thank their benefactors (there are similar stories of foxes repaying their kindness).

11. The cuckoo

is also known as "the nocturnal girl", "the heavenly maiden" or "the 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, and take off feathers and become women. Legend has it that this kind of thing is made by women (so all these things are female), and they like to hold other people's children most. If the family with babies forgets to collect the baby clothes hanging outside the house at night, once it finds it, it will leave two drops of blood on it as a mark ...; But don't worry, it is said that they all come out at night in July and August. The Goose Bird (also called the female bird directly) is described in the Book of the Xuanzhong: "Goose Birds can collect people's spirits, and today people are also called ghost birds when they are a cloud of wet birds ...". "But certainly can't be compared with the nine-headed bird that incited ChuFeng. According to scholars' research, in ancient China, the words "nine" and "ghost" were universal. This big bird with nine faces has an awkward gait because its head looks left and right. It is said that it is similar to the duck's gait, and some strange expressions are combined. It haunts the back garden of the palace and brings disaster to the tyrannical rule. First, dropping blood to reduce disasters is breathtaking. Liu Yao, a native of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "A Record of Different Ridges": "Ghost cars, between spring and summer, fly by when they encounter a little gloom. There are many outside the ridge. Love into others is breathtaking. Or nine clouds, one of which was bitten by a dog, and the home of blood drops was fierce. "

second, take blood clothes and children. "The Story of the Sky" said: "A bird caught by a bird can collect people's spirits, and today people are like a cloud of wet-nurse birds. It is said that the maternal death is turned into it. Can take a man's son as his own. There are two breasts on the chest, and if there is a boy's home, it is a ambition to blood his clothes. Nowadays, people who don't want to show their clothes, for this reason. "

thirdly, the image is ugly and the temperament is fierce. In the Song Dynasty's meticulous "Wild Tales in the East of Qi", it said: "The body is round like a dustpan, and there are ten clusters of rings, and its head has nine, one of which is unique, but it is dripping with blood. As it is said in the world, each cluster has two wings. When flying, the 18 wings are actually moving in, and they are not used to each other, so there is a dispute to break the wounded."

12. A woman with two mouths

It is recorded in "Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts" that: a woman is indiscreet, urinates and defecates everywhere, a husband is found to be possessed by the rice lotus god, a child (less than 2 years old) has died at home, and her child is possessed by her, and she will have a bite on her back neck and keep eating, which will eventually be eaten to death by the possessed person (also. ! As a result, some people have met such abnormal conditions. However, in the later days, the farmer found that his wife didn't eat, but the rice in the kitchen decreased every day. The farmer who was surprised sneaked 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 appeared in the back of his wife's head, and then turned her hair into a snake-like tentacle to serve food to the mouth of the back of her head ...

If the front one is a ghost that lingers in the world, then the back one is simply a monster. Ha ha.

There are monsters in famous folk towns. 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 mouth in front, and it can eat several times as much. Usually, the mouth is covered by hair. When there is no one, if there is food in front, it will use the hair as a tentacle and eat the food.
