Prologue·Fire Drum

A group of Bai girls rode white clouds and drove on the long wind, with flying skirts and various manners. They turned their lingering love into softness around their fingers to show their mutual love, lovesickness and love for each other.

"Xiangxi Chase Corpse"

In ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation and rugged roads in southwestern Hunan, people died in other villages, and it was difficult to transport the coffin. They had no choice but to ask sorcerers and warlocks to use forbidden spells to drive away the corpses so that they could be buried back in their native land and buried in peace. This method is commonly known as the "Xiangxi Corpse Catching Technique".
