Tales from the Shadowed Valley (10-20)

By TONG MENG

"In the depths of remote mountain villages, where time seems to slow and the ordinary world fades away, strange and eerie tales are woven into the fabric of daily life. Stories of body retrievals from the murky waters, rituals of spirit possession where the living become vessels for the dead, the ancient practice of drinking talisman water to ward off evil, and the unsettling creation of paper effigies meant to bind spirits. In these forgotten corners of the world, the Five Immortals Temple stands as a testament to centuries of mysterious worship, while locals whisper of asking rice to cross over the afterlife and of serpents slithering across the shadowed peaks of the mountains. These are no mere superstitions; they are the strange, hidden truths of a world where the boundaries between life and death blur.
I walk the path between the mundane and the supernatural, a realm where most dare not tread. I have witnessed things that defy the understanding of ordinary people, hidden mysteries that lurk in the shadows of everyday life. These experiences, though dark and unsettling, have become a part of me. And now, I will share them with you - tales of the unseen, the eerie, and the inexplicable, told from a place where few have ventured and fewer still have returned unchanged."
