"The toad gu in the city was actually released by that evil spirit who built the Snake God Temple? No wonder it can be treated..."
"Old Master Yan is still alive? Which Old Master? Is it the one who held official status twenty years ago? Didn't he die long ago?"
"No, that Old Master just stopped celebrating his birthday starting from the age of eighty-two."
"For a person like him, his birthday celebration each year would be a grand and lively event. Not only the three prominent families of Guazhou, but even people from faraway Prefectures would come to celebrate."
"Precisely because he hasn't celebrated his birthday in over twenty years, everyone gradually forgot and began to assume that this Old Master had long since passed away..."

The cries of the ghostly gods throughout the city spoke of matters too shocking to comprehend.
