In the midsummer when I was sixteen years old, I encountered the most evil thing in my life.
The General's Tomb outside our town is a forbidden place that the older generation cannot even touch. Rumor has it that it is the burial ground of generals who died during the Anti-Japanese War. The grass is waist-high and has a sinister atmosphere. No one has ever dared to approach it late at night. But I was young and ignorant, so I rushed in out of curiosity, and happened to run into the ghosts of those who died in the Japanese invasion of China who were stranded here.
That thing carried the violence and ferocity of wartime, and the moment it entangled me, I felt bone-chilling cold all over my body, as if countless cold hands were dragging my soul to the ground. My eyesight turned black, my consciousness gradually faded, and I felt like my life was hanging by a thread, and my soul would be swallowed up by a resentful spirit at any time.
Just when I was about to lose my strength and was completely swallowed up by the Yin Qi, a clear Taoist call penetrated the cold mist.
A Taoist priest wearing a plain-colored Taoist robe and having an elegant demeanor walked slowly over. It was Taoist priest Zhao Qiming of Wudang. He was full of awe-inspiring Taoism, and he used Taoism to calm down the vicious aura of the Japanese resentful spirit with a raised hand, dispersed the Yin Qi that was entangled in my body, and forcefully pulled me back from the gate of hell.
The Taoist Master concentrated on me and dispelled the evil spirits remaining in my body, and then told me about my destiny with a solemn expression.
He said that I was born with a special destiny, and that I had a natural mission when I was born in this village. The grudges and evil spirits that have accumulated in the General's Tomb for decades, especially the lingering ghosts of Japan during the war, have caused trouble and disturbed the countryside. No one else can resolve this matter. I am the only one who is destined to break the situation.
