Yukihime, also known as Snow Girl, is a kind of monster that appears in ancient Japanese legends. "When a snow girl comes out, she returns home early" is an old saying that is widely circulated among Japanese people. The Yuki Onna, who is good at making ice and snow, is a traditional Japanese monster known to women and children. It lives in the deep mountains, is similar to humans, and has a stunningly beautiful appearance. It often attracts men who enter the snow-capped mountains to kiss them in deserted places. While kissing, they completely freeze them and take away their souls for consumption.
Yuki-onna is a very contradictory monster in the hearts of Japanese people. She has snow-white skin, beautiful appearance, and virtuous character, but she can kill people mercilessly the moment you break your oath. She is beautiful and terrifying. If you encounter a snow girl, you are likely to encounter a terrifying experience full of eroticism.
The child of a snow girl is called Yukidōji. In Japan, Yukidōji is believed to be the monster that brings the first snow in winter. Snow girls are all cold-blooded, subordinates of the mountain god, and are in charge of the snow in winter. The three emotions of fragility, tenderness, and sadness constitute the soul of a snow girl. This is exactly how ice and snow in nature react to the delicate character of the Japanese. Young snow girls are harmless to humans. Adult snow girls will freeze their favorite human males forever and bring them back to the cave where they live and display them for them to watch.
The last time Su Kuangfeng was entangled by Xue Ji and brought to her cave to live together for seven days. During this period, there were many opportunities to suck Su Kuangfeng's soul and freeze his body. But I didn't understand why Xue Ji didn't do this? Instead, let go of Su Fengfeng, a great soul.
In Japan, there are many legends about Yukihime. It is claimed that the first person to see Yukihime was a master named Sogeki at the end of the Muromachi period in Japan. He was a famous renge master in Japan at that time (renge is a kind of (a literary form in the transitional stage from haiku to waka), he claimed to have seen a snow girl in the mountains of Echigo Province (now Niigata Prefecture, six prefectures in Northeast Japan), and recorded it in his book "The Tale of the Sogetsu Kingdom", " "The Story of Sogeki Kingdoms" is also the first Japanese book to record the legend of Yuki Onna. Based on this, it is estimated that monsters like Yuki Onna have "existed" in Japan for at least 500 years.
Another theory is that the earliest snow girl legend is recorded in Koizumi Yakumo's ghost story. This statement is not accurate because Koizumi Yakumo was originally a Greek and later naturalized as a Japanese citizen, more than 400 years after Master Sogetsu was born. Long before Koizumi Yakumo arrived in Japan, the legend of the Snow Girl had been circulating among Japanese folk. Among the Japanese folk, the older generation of people believe in some legends about gods and monsters, and believe that disasters in nature are controlled by gods and ghosts, so there are stories about the ghosts of the snow girl in the snow.
Legend has it that during the Heian period in ancient Japan, there was a pair of woodcutter father and son living in the deep mountains and old forests of Echigo country, who made a living by cutting firewood and opening a dry wood shop. One day, the woodcutter father and son encountered a snowstorm while cutting firewood in the mountains, and were forced to stay overnight in a cabin in the mountains. The cabin was empty, and the father and son settled in with peace of mind upon seeing it. Unexpectedly, this small wooden house turned out to be the boudoir of the snow girl. In the middle of the night, a beautiful woman with white skin wearing a white kimono broke in from outside the house. The little woodcutter was awakened and saw the legendary Snow Girl. He was so frightened that he could not move. He watched helplessly as the Snow Girl walked up to the old woodcutter, bent down and blew on him. The old woodcutter instantly became "chilled". . Then, the snow girl walked to the little woodcutter again. Perhaps seeing how handsome the little woodcutter was, the snow girl's murderous intention suddenly diminished, and she just warned the little woodcutter: "If you tell others what happened tonight, I will kill you." After that, she disappeared in the blizzard. middle.
A few years later, on another snowy night, a beautiful young girl came to the little woodcutter's house and asked him to take her in. It's probably a cliché story about finding a relative but not meeting her, running out of money, asking the high official to be merciful and taking in the concubine, and the concubine treating herself like a cow or a horse to repay her husband. The little woodcutter accepted it happily, and soon the concubine changed from being a cow and a horse to being a wife, and finally became the mother of a child. Because the little woodcutter's wife was beautiful and virtuous, and her snow-white complexion was nothing like the local village girls, so the little woodcutter's affair became the envy of everyone in the village. Unfortunately, it was another snowy night. The little woodcutter, whose weak heart had been hurt by the snow girl, could not forget the nightmare of his father turning into "chilled", so he told his wife the horrific experience that year. Unexpectedly, as soon as the little woodcutter finished speaking, the beautiful and virtuous wife suddenly turned into the ferocious Snow Girl.
I saw the snow girl sternly warning the little woodcutter: "I warned you back then that I would kill you if you dared to speak out. For the sake of our son, I will spare you one more time. You must take good care of your son, otherwise I will come back Kill you." After saying that, he disappeared into the snow just like before. From then on, the little woodcutter's wife never appeared again.
This ancient legend fully describes the cold and ruthless characteristics of monsters, and uses this story of betrayal to reflect the marriage between men and women, as well as the delicate and sentimental appearance of women who dare to love and hate. Although this The ancient legends are both sad and cold, and the ancient moral values are "promises must be kept." However, in today's changing people's hearts, how many people maintain awe and respect for tradition, or even abide by it? There are also legends that the snow girl will ask travelers to help take care of the children in her arms in the snowy wilderness.
There is also a legend: Snow women sometimes separate men and women who love each other.
In a village, there was a pair of young people who were in love. The man once met the snow girl in the snowy mountains. He was afraid of being killed by the snow girl, so he avoided looking at the snow girl's face and knelt down to beg the snow girl to let him live at any cost. The snow girl smiled and said nothing for a long time, and then said to him: Just don't regret it. The man bowed to the snow girl again and again, expressing his willingness. The snow girl held the man's face with one hand, condensed ice cubes on the other hand, and put them into the man's eyes. The man returned to the village safely, and the snow girl did not test him with her usual methods. But the man no longer recognizes the woman he has always loved. No matter the woman calls again and again, the man's cold eyes are the only and eternal response.
The legends about snow girls vary from place to place.
As an elf in the snow, what Yuki-onna fears most is fire and heat. There is a legend in Ochiya, Niigata Prefecture: One day, after a single man knocked off the icicles on the eaves, at night, a girl suddenly came and wanted to Asked to stay with him and asked to marry him. Because of the cold weather, in order to please the girl, the man specially boiled a bucket of water for her to take a bath. Although the girl refused in every possible way, she still couldn't resist, so she had to jump into the hot water. As a result, she disappeared in the hot water, leaving only slender icicle fragments floating up.
There is a legend in the upper mountains of Yamagata Prefecture: On a snowy night, a girl came to the house of an old couple to ask for directions, and the old couple asked her to warm themselves by the fire. In the middle of the night, the girl wanted to go out and continue on her way. The old grandfather was worried about her safety, so he grabbed her hand and wanted to keep her. The girl's hand was so cold that it made the old grandfather's hair stand on end. In an instant, the girl turned into snow smoke, and he stopped smoking. The skylight flew up.
In Tono, Iwate Prefecture, there is a legend that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow girl will roam the snowy fields with many children on a full-moon winter night. In addition to the above, in other places, there are legends about snow girls holding babies in their arms; there are also legends about snow girls asking for a place to stay, and the next day only a strand of white clothes are left, and there is gold in the clothes. All kinds of legends are rich and interesting. Since snow is white, the legendary snow maidens mostly wear white clothes or have snow-white skin.
As for the scary legends about Snow Maidens cannibalizing people, it is said among the people that they are meant to warn children not to go out on heavy snowy days to avoid mishaps. Perhaps most of the mothers who tell stories to their children are women. As time goes by, another legend gradually emerges - as long as you embrace the snow girl with a sincere heart, you can melt the snow girl. Where the snow girl melts, she will be reborn as a human being.
Su Fengfeng provoked Xue Ji, and the time he survived the catastrophe showed that he was extremely lucky. However, no one can guarantee that she will be fine this time. Maybe our worries are unnecessary. Maybe she had a relationship with Su Fengfeng last time and would not harm him. But, no matter what, Xue Ji is a monster after all, so I think I still have to be cautious.
After running for a long time, he still couldn't catch up with Su Kuangfeng. He could only breathe and rest on the spot and said: "We haven't found any clues about the enemy here yet, but Su Kuangfeng, a fool, went missing first. Such a powerful monster like Xue Ji Can he handle it on his own? It's really too crazy. Really, Su Fengfeng will die sooner or later because of his lust!"
I glanced at Li Huhu again and asked, "Xuansheng, what do you think of this matter?"
Li Huhu said: "Don't worry, haven't you interpreted Tiansheng's dream? Xue Ji can't do anything to him. The real danger to senior brother is the demon fox, Tamamo Mae. Besides, Xuan Sheng's magic hand is better than ours. Not bad, don’t worry.”
At this time, sporadic snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, and the evil spirit became stronger.
Geng Biaobiao grabbed a piece of snowflake and said: "It's strange, it snowed just now, why does it start snowing again? Is that snow demon near us? Why is this?"
Xu Chengcheng said uncomfortably: "Stop guessing, look ahead, Xue has been sent, let's go in that direction and look for it! Maybe, that pervert Su Kuangfeng has been seduced by Xue Ji! Leave quickly, if it’s too late, senior brother, you may die!”
The few of us didn't waste any more time and ran over quickly towards the place where the heavy snow was falling. The heavier the snow, the stronger the evil spirit. Xu Chengcheng was right, Xue Ji must be in front. We are waiting every minute. I can't afford to delay either.
