   "Whether I'm ugly or not is none of your business!" The speaker was a long-haired female ghost. I carefully compared her from head to toe to one of the corpses on the ground. She wasn't exactly alike, but she was fairly similar. "The audience's eyes are discerning, and their evaluations are objective!" I said to her seriously. "If it's not us, the audience, who else can judge?!" "Me!" The voice came from behind us; it must have been a man. "Who are you?" I couldn't help but ask the voice. "Her man!" "Whose man?" I glanced at the woman whose arm the ghost woman was tightly gripping. "Our man!" The woman and the ghost answered in unison. "You can see him?" I asked the woman curiously. "I can't!" The woman shook her head. "But I can smell his scent!" "Scent... Scent?!" "The unique scent of a stinky man!" "Uncle, she said you smell!" I looked at the uncle with a mischievous grin. "Am I smelly?" The uncle pointed at the corpse on the ground. "But even if I smell bad, I'm not as smelly as that guy's body!" "A man who doesn't smell bad isn't a man!" The male ghost said seriously. "So you came here specifically to find your own body?!" The uncle asked. "Not looking for it!" The male ghost rolled his eyes at him. "Are you going to raise me?" "I never raise idle ghosts, especially trashy ghosts like you!" "Trash?" The male ghost sighed. "Having seen the ocean, other waters are nothing; having seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are nothing... I'm just more sentimental than most people!"

    Suddenly, the silhouette of a woman combing her hair appeared on the paper window of a house. As he looked closer, the shadow vanished in a wisp of black smoke. "The town has been rather unsettled lately," the old man suddenly spoke, his lantern swaying violently in the wind. "Tomorrow is the auspicious day for the Chen family's daughter's wedding. If you have nothing else to do, Daoist, it would be best to leave as soon as possible." Qiu Wuyai was about to reply when a piercing suona horn sounded from afar. A wedding procession adorned in red and colorful decorations emerged from the end of the alley, eight paper-mache sedan chair bearers carrying a vermilion lacquered sedan chair, their cheeks painted with exaggerated rouge. In the instant the sedan chair curtain was lifted by the wind, he clearly saw dark red liquid seeping from the bottom of the chair, leaving a winding trail of blood on the bluestone slabs. "That is..." "The auspicious hour has arrived," the old man suddenly extinguished the lantern, darkness surging in like a tide. "The living must not block the path of the deceased." As the sedan chair passed, Qiu Wuyai's copper coin sword suddenly drew half an inch from its sheath on its own. By the flickering candlelight through the sedan chair window, he saw the bride's face half-exposed from under her veil; where her nose should have been, there was only a bloody, mangled hole. The rain intensified. The suona horn abruptly stopped. Qiu Wuyai's fingertips pressed against the copper coin sword, icy rain dripping down the tassel. The wedding sedan chair stopped in the middle of the street, the eight paper sedan chair bearers motionless, their pale faces frozen in a smile. The wind whipped up bits of paper money, hitting his face with the pungent smell of decaying earth. "Taoist priest, hurry!" The old man suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "The yin energy is heaviest at midnight, the living cannot..."
