"Sky Crane Slashing !!"

When the firefly summoned many vines to entangle the countless hands stretched out in the river, Gu Xuanniao pulled out the umbrella sword at his waist, turned into sword qi, and quickly cut off all the hands.

However, when these hands were cut off, all the hands disappeared as if they were non-existent.

"What is this?" Suzu also looked at the disappeared Senju in shock.

"It's a little impressive, but it's different!" Looking at the river in front of her, Yae Sakura fell into doubt.

"It seems to be Hashihime, but ordinary Hashihime is not so powerful." Qing Xing Lantern stood aside and guessed.

"Hashihime? Impossible, right? "Hashihime is still very famous in Japan, because she is one of the eight million gods in Japan, in fact, it is also a yokai, or evil god.

Since ancient times, the Japanese believed that every bridge was guarded by a goddess, and among the many legends related to the bridge, Ujibashi Hime is the most famous, and whenever Hashihime is mentioned, it usually refers to the goddess of Ujibashi.

Legend has it that in the distant era of the gods, Uji Hashihime and Riknomiya Hachiman God were lovers, and Hachiman God came to see Hashihime every night along the Yodo River, Seta River, and Uji River. Rikyu Hachimangu Shrine is a shrine built in the early Heian period on the ruins of Emperor Saga's Imperial Palace, located in Oyamazaki, Kyoto Prefecture.

Since the marriage pattern at that time was a wife-visiting marriage, the man usually went to the woman's house after dusk to spend the night and left at dawn the following day, so it is believed that the marriage pattern of the gods was probably the same. And every day at dawn, the waves of the Uji River are the most turbulent, so even if you don't see your body, people know that Hachimanjin is going back.

However, Hachimangami doesn't come every night. At that time, some nobles or wealthy people could even visit the east and west during the same period. But Hashihime can only sit by the bridge, looking forward to the arrival of the god Hachiman every night.

As I said before, there are eight million gods in Japan, large and small, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous gods, and Ujihashihime is the goddess who breaks off the relationship between men and women.

When people hold a wedding, they usually avoid passing in front of Hashihime Shrine. Inside the shrine is a female ghost statue with a naked upper body, a crimson hakama on the lower body, a snake wrapped around her left hand, and a fishing hook in her right hand.

However, not all Hashihime are the same as Uji Hashihime, so it is generally said that Hashihime is a monster who is not loved by the man he loves because of his ugly face, or who is forcibly robbed of his love by others and commits suicide by throwing himself into a river on the bridge.

In the past, Japan also had a certain emphasis on women's suicide methods, such as samurai or men could only end themselves by disembowelment, while women could only end their lives by throwing themselves into the river, because they represented the jealous resentment of infatuated women, so this kind of yokai was usually more terrifying.

For example, in the Meiji Demon Chronicle, the Hashihime is like this, because she loves the man she loves but can't be with him, and finally commits suicide by jumping off the Uji Bridge, and after turning into Hashihime, if a man, especially a man of the type she likes in front of her, passes by here at night, she will appear on the bridge, use all kinds of charming methods to tempt the man, and then seduce him into the water and drown; Of course, Hashihime's target is not just men, because of strong jealousy, if a woman who looks prettier than herself passes by, Hashihime will forcibly pull her into the water and drown.

In addition, the Japanese word "Hashihime", also known as Hashimei, is a female ghost but extremely ugly with a man-like face, and is a kind of banshee that appears by the bridge, and there are many stories about her.

In fact, in addition to what is recorded in these books, what made Yae Sakura know about Hashihime was because of a barrage game she played in her previous life, the Oriental series, the Hashihime Mizuhashi Palushi in the Oriental project, the second boss of "Oriental Earth Spirit Temple", the race is Hashihime, and the setting is very similar to the mythical Uji Hashihime, and it can even be said that it is based on Ujihashihime.

...

"Maybe it's the mutated Hashihime! But she seems to be a little abnormal. Qing Xing Deng looked at the calm river and was a little puzzled.

Generally speaking, Hashihime would not attack other youkai like this, after all, all she hates is humans.

Attacking other monsters like this, it's just good to target the little monsters, and if you meet someone stronger than her, you won't live long.

"Forget it, don't worry about her, let's fly over by ourselves." Looking at the calm surface of the river, Yae Sakura said to the Shikikami.

"She attacked us! That's it? Firefly was a little reluctant.

"Or else?" Yae Sakura.

"Kill her, of course! Isn't it just a turtle with a shrunken head? Master, you summon the kappa out and force her out. Firefly stared at the river and said unpleasantly.

“...”

Looking at the fireflies, Yae Sakura was speechless, do you have such a deep hatred?

However, the kappa was summoned anyway.

"Master!" Kappa.

"Kappa, there's a monster hiding in this water, you force it out." Hotaru saw the kappa and said quickly.

But Kappa didn't pay attention to Hotaru and turned his head to look at Yae Sakura inquiringly.

"Hmm." Yae Sakura nodded directly.

"Okay."

Seeing this, the kappa suddenly jumped directly into the river.

"Hey..."

Yae Sakura looked at the kappa with a confused expression, originally he meant that he could just let him control the river on the shore and force it out, but he didn't expect the kappa to jump directly into it.

"It's... Is the kappa too reckless? Still didn't understand what I was saying. "Fireflies are also incredible, looking at the kappa who jumped into the river.

"Hey! Get ready to support Kappa! Yae Sakura said as she took a few steps closer to the river.

"Oh." Fireflies.

...

After waiting for a few minutes, the calm surface of the river suddenly began to rise and fall, and the water splashed on the surface of the river.

"Pounce!"

Suddenly, the kappa was thrown out of the river like a cannonball, and slammed into the shore.

"Kappa, are you alright?" Yae Sakura looked at it and asked nervously.

Is this Hashihime so powerful? In the water, even the kappa was defeated so quickly.

"It's okay, I was just careless! I didn't think that in the water, she was so powerful. The kappa coughed a few times, then slowly stood up, indicating that it was nothing.
