Strange Tales from Xiangxi

There’s a saying: in the nine ravines of western Hunan’s mountains, people are few and ghosts are many.

Daoists have techniques for attaining immortality, and in the underground palace of western Hunan lies an elixir of eternal life.

Some say that once the palace, sealed for a thousand years, is opened, it will bring about the end of all life under heaven.

Others, however, believe it will be a sumptuous feast for cultivators.
