Rain Girl: On a rainy day, a woman stands in the rain, and if a man smiles at her and signals her to share an umbrella, she will always follow him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info After that, the man would have been living in a humid environment, because ordinary people could not resist such heavy moisture, so he would die soon.

In Japan, there is a more detailed statement in BBS, Rain Girl: The Woman in the Rain will always follow

The man who smiled at himself and gestured to share the umbrella. He would die from living in a humid environment that was difficult to resist the moisture. But I've heard that salt can subdue her. Legend has it that the Izu Peninsula first appeared in ancient times. After a hurricane night, a beautiful young woman who had been waiting for her husband to go out to sea to fish unsuccessfully braved the wind and rain to go to the reef to look at the waves and was swept into the water, and then it was rumored that she was depressed and miserable, and the place she passed was full of damp water.

In the Japanese manga artist Shigeru Mizuki's "Illustrated Japanese Yokai", there is no record of this statement.

- The above is a Japanese legend.,As the first demon that appeared in this book.,Originally, my setting was evil.,Later, after reading the domestic legends.,I wanted to write her as good.,And it's about a very beautiful love.,That's why I have the first bloody plot of the marriage town.。

In ancient Chinese legends, there is a goddess of Wushan, who acts as a cloud in the morning and rain in the twilight. Expanding the scope a bit, the "Rain Girl" recorded in the book "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" is also of its kind. This is something slightly higher and more sacred than the Yokai level. There is a saying about the rain god in China:

The name of the rain god in the Shennong era was red pine nuts. Red pine nuts took Bing Yu Powder and passed this recipe to Shennong's family. It is said that with this technique, you can walk into the fire without harming your body. Red pine nuts live in Kunlun Mountain most of the time, and inhabit the goddess (according to the "Legend of the Immortals", the goddess refers to the Queen Mother of the West. In the stone chamber, riding the wind and rain to and fro between heaven and earth. At that time, the young daughter of the Shennong clan followed him, also learned immortal arts, and finally disappeared with him. A few years later, the red pine nut once again came to the world as the god of rain.

Rain is a gift from nature. If there is no rainfall, crops will die. Therefore, Japan has a tradition of praying for rain since ancient times. This practice is also inseparable from the folk beliefs in various places. In Higashizukuma-gun, Nagano Prefecture, there is a stone called the "Rain Stone", which is a red color with a smooth surface, and the part that protrudes from the ground is the size of two tatami hats (about 3.24 square meters). If the stone is moved, it will rain for 60 days. A man once wanted to move it home as a garden stone, and after just a few digs, it rained for more than three months. Aomori Prefecture also has a saying that "rain falls on the ground". If you throw the stone Buddha into the river, there will be a heavy downpour.

It can be seen that some scholars believe that the rain girl not only belongs to the so-called monsters, but also has elements of folk beliefs.

The "rain god" of the Shennong clan was called "red pine nuts". He had taken a prescription, Ice Jade San, which allowed him to navigate through the raging fire. This prescription was later passed on to Shennong. He often went to Kunlun Mountain, entered the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, and rode the wind and rain to and from heaven and earth. Shennong's daughter once followed him to learn spells, and both of them eventually retired to the world, but occasionally returned to the world as the "rain god".

- Many of the demons I have written will have a legendary basis, but they will be slightly adapted, with the Chinese civilization as the bone and other civilizations as the skin, and the blood flowing is their story, exclusive to the story of the demon.
