Maoshan Taoism has a branch devoted to guiding the souls of the dead who are consumed by deep resentment into the afterlife. Whenever the world grows cold and cruel, people lose their sense of right and wrong, and injustice reigns, its disciples return to the martial world. At the ring of the Bell of Deliverance in their hands, the dead are drawn into an illusion where they can make up for their regrets.
