Clear acid with picture book
Wu Renchen's version is closer to the description of the original book of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Wang Ben is more like the acid after the blessing.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: "If you see it, you will be afraid." It is said that wherever the acid goes, something frightening happens. It is probably caused by the "prototype" of its "unevolved" yokai.
In addition, Guo Pu's "Tufan" said: "There are birds in Jingshan Mountain, and the shape of the tree is special. It is like a snake, with three wings and four wings on its feet, and it is fearful to see it, and it is not drunk to eat. ”。 Guo Pu believes that eating sour meat will not be drunk.

Second, the vulture's wings have black and white layers, which look like four wings from a distance. Third, the vulture scavenging, where it appears there is a large amount of carrion, when war and famine come, the vulture will appear.
