At the mention of Zhong Kui, Xia Ying, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang became interested.
They all expressed their opinions.
However, their understanding of Zhong Kui was mostly acquired from various film and television works.
At this, Huang Xiaolong merely chuckled, "Zhong Kui is a familiar character in folklore in Huaxia. He is stuck on the doors as the Door God to suppress evil spirits, suspended in the hall as a Spirit Talisman to ward off disasters and paranormal entities, and is the tough general who manages ghosts and slays demons in exorcism rituals. This gave rise to various plays and paintings depicturing Zhong Kui. Even the 'Compendium of Materia Medica' includes a prescription which involves consuming the ashes of Zhong Kui's image to treat difficult labor or malaria."
"Ghosts fear Zhong Kui, do you know why evil spirits are afraid of him?" Huang Xiaolong smiled.
