Will the Broken Killing Stone Bring Disaster? #Shorts

●More information about Tochigi prefecture where the Killing Stone is

On the afternoon of March 5th 2022, a national historic site in Tochigi Prefecture, “殺生石 Sessho-seki (Killing Stone),” was found split in half. The stone already had some small cracks and may have broken due to water that had seeped into the stone freezing.

Wait, why is this such a big deal?

In legends, this stone is said to be the transformed shape of a nine-tailed fox yokai that was killed about 1,000 years ago. The yokai disguised itself as a beautiful woman and attempted to kill the Emperor, but a talented Onmyoji (yin-yang master) revealed its true identity and it was eventually vanquished by a master archer.

Even after it turned into a stone however, it continued to emit a terrifying miasma that killed any plants or animals that came near it. It is rumored that the cracking of such a terrifying stone unleashed the fox to do evil again.

But I’m not that worried…

To begin with this legend was written a few centuries after the event, and neither the beautiful woman (disguised as a fox) nor the Onmyoji (yin-yang master) who appears in the story actually exist.

Also, animals and plants that approach the killing stone die because it is placed in a hot spring area, where there is constant eruption of toxic volcanic gas.

With all the crap that’s been happening all over the world, an evil fox spirit running loose seems like a normal Tuesday at this point.

These last year's are so wild we can't know what to expect, still, I've dusted off my old bow since I've heard of the news. You never know...

Plus, if a master archer was all it took to kill it, I’d imagine any soldier with gun would be able to do some serious damage

Tanjiro finally completed his training🥺 I’m so proud of him❤️

Now I feel that any time an anime character has a terrifying miasma, they're just really gassy.

[ethanjimenez]

An ancient Japanese myth detailing a horrible spirit being released from a cracked stone to commit terrible deeds is pretty much a slow tuesday at this point
