The vermicelli <b>(pronounced lóng zhí) is also called "ant". The name of the mythical beast in ancient mythology. This monster resembles a fox, a man-eating monster that cries like a baby. Although it is a vicious youkai, it is said that as long as you eat its flesh, you can avoid evil spirits. </b>
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Book of Dongshan", "Five hundred miles south, the mountain of Qiao Li, which has more gold and jade on it, more stones under it, there are beasts, its shape is like a fox and nine tails, nine heads, tiger claws, the name is called a leech, its sound is like a baby, it is a man-eater."
Meaning: "Five hundred miles to the south there is a mountain called Mount Kaili, there is a lot of gold and jade on the mountain, there are many stones under the mountain that can be used to make needles, there is a beast on the mountain, similar in size to a fox, born with nine tails, nine heads, with tiger-like claws, this beast is called a cockroach, and its sound is like the cry of a baby, and it can eat people." ”
Legend has it that the vermix, which is something similar to a fox, is often mistaken for a fox. This thing is often nine moving together, a female, very large, eight males are relatively small, the male many times they are moving together, and the body is very slender, the leech has nine heads and nine tails, many people say that the nine-tailed fox is a leech, which is a misreading. "There is also a legend that the vermicelli is equivalent to the prototype of the celestial fox serving in the celestial realm. Xiao Bian believes that in the current view, I think that the record of leeches in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" seems to be a bit absurd and does not exist at all. However, the Classic of Mountains and Seas records that some ancient divine beasts and creatures existed, but later became extinct for various reasons.
