不喜欢吃盐的妖怪The Yokai who don't like salt

山鬼水木茂

山鬼虽然与山童一样讨厌盐和带盐的东西

Although Mountain Ghosts hate salt and things with salt like Mountain Boy

但智商却“捉急”到不行

But I.Q. is very low

它们爱吃米饭和年糕

They like rice and rice cakes

有时会裹着树叶或是破衣烂衫，有时干脆一丝不挂

Sometimes it's wrapped in leaves or rags, sometimes it's completely naked

不过有趣的是，它们是有性别之分的

But interestingly, they're gender specific

因为在宫城县(日本一级行政区)的深山里

Because in the mountains of Miyagi (one of the counties in Japan)

曾有猎人在自己设下的陷阱里发现了一个头发很长

A hunter once found a female Mountain Ghost in a trap he set

通体白色然而已经死亡的女山鬼

With long hair, white body but dead

至于为什么说山鬼智商“捉急”

As for why Mountain Ghost's IQ is low

是因为它们会把白色的石头当成年糕食用

It's because they eat white stones as rice cakes

而且因为其极差的生存适应能力

And because of its poor ability to survive and adapt

到了明治时代，就已经看不到山鬼的活动痕迹了

In the Meiji era, we can no longer see the traces of Mountain Ghost's activities

山精Mountain Monster

与山魈有一定渊源的妖怪 A Yokai with a certain relationship with SHANXIAO(a Chinese Yokai)

山精水木茂

山精与山鬼不同

Mountain Monster is different from Mountain Ghost

它生活在比较靠近大海的山区之中

It lives in a mountain area close to the sea

会跑到海边抓螃蟹

Will run to the beach to catch crabs

还会偷偷溜进伐木工人的房间，用手捧走装于罐子里面的盐

They would sneak into the woodcutter's room and take away the salt in the jar with their hands

它外形类似中国的山魈

It looks like SHANXIAO

只有一条腿，但是行动敏捷轻快，让人难以察觉

It's only one leg, but it's quick and light and hard to detect

虽然它不害人，但由于长相怪异丑陋

Although it's harmless, it's ugly because of its strange appearance

所以人们对它还是避而远之

So people stay away from it

不过若是受到山精的惊吓

But if you are frightened by the Mountain Monster

可是不会因此而生病的哦

it won't make you sick

山爷Mountain Lord

山爷水木茂

山爷可能算是年纪比较大，或是修行比较久的山精吧

Maybe the Mountain Lord is an elder or a Mountain Monster with a long cultivation

因为它全身长满灰色短毛，目大而发光

Because it's covered with short gray hair, big eyes and shiny

一口能把猴子的脑袋像嚼萝卜那样一口咬碎

One bite can crush the monkey's head like a radish

连狼都害怕它，猴爵我也是听的毛骨悚然啊Σ(っ °Д °っ

Even the wolf is afraid of it. I'm thrilled to hear it too

若是亲眼目睹这种场面，相信无人不感到恐惧呢

If you see this kind of scene with your own eyes, I believe that no one is not afraid

除此之外，山爷习惯身披蓑衣

In addition, the Mountain Lord is used to wearing a coir raincoat

与山精一样只有一条腿

Just like Mountain Monster, it has one leg

但同样行动敏捷，令人捉摸不透

But also agile and elusive
