762. Pillow Demon_1

In folk tales, the Pillow Demon is considered one of the younger entities.

In ancient times, only the rich could afford to use pillows, while the poor lay upon straw bedding and made do with that, let alone have the luxury to worry about pillows.

Even for the rich who used pillows, many were made of wood, which would eventually cause headaches after prolonged use.

The Pillow Demon was an entity that stemmed from the pillows used by young ladies from wealthy families.

In the past, feudal ethics were strict, and daughters from reputable families were often genuinely inexperienced in worldly affairs. As such, the Pillow Demon served as a tool to fulfill the springtime fantasies of young girls. In some descriptions not fit for detailed recounting, the lady's pillow would often become a significant character, and over time, such rumors emerged.

But in Lu Ban's view, the Pillow Demon was simply a pillow that had been contaminated by pollution.
