Legend has it that after death, everyone must pass through thirteen stations in the underworld: the Earth God Temple, the Yellow Springs Road, the Looking-Home Terrace, the Ridge of Evil Dogs, Golden Rooster Mountain, the Wild Ghost Village, the Bewildering Hall, Fengdu City, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the Pool of Blood, the Hall of Offerings, the Lotus Terrace, and the Cliff of Return. They say that only after passing through all thirteen stations can the dead enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn!
My grandfather was a guide to the underworld. Using his spirit-medium abilities, he led ghosts into the underworld and helped them make it through those thirteen perilous stations!
I grew up immersed in all of this, and my grandfather was especially fond of how clever I was. So he passed down his ancestral spirit-medium skills to me without holding anything back...
