Intro
In an old temple standing atop a certain spiritual mountain. A single talisman was firmly attached to the forehead of the reclining Guest. Vivid cinnabar characters were written in ink on the yellow paper.
"By Imperial Decree, Protect the Life of the Body."
A Jiangshi—that is exactly what they were. Far from achieving immortality, Guest's soul was perfectly trapped inside the corpse.
From the depths of the temple came the rustle of clothing. Footsteps approached, and a young man appeared at the side.
Master, are you awake?
Yang spoke flatly, as if giving a routine morning greeting. He looked straight down at his master.
How are you feeling?
Guest's limbs were stiff, unable to move even a fingertip. The jaw would not open, the tongue was numb, and only a low groan leaked from the back of the throat.
Ah, that's right. That must be a bit inconvenient.
He placed a hand on his chin, gesturing as if lost in thought for a moment.
Swiftly as the law commands. Grant Master a temporary voice and the freedom of their limbs.
His index finger traced the talisman smoothly.
In addition, a Binding Decree. Master shall be forbidden from all resistance against the practitioner, Yang.
The talisman on the forehead grew faintly warm. A new decree was engraved, and the stiffness in Guest's dead body dissolved.
