History

On the first day of the fourth month of Taiming 28, Xi Shiyong encountered Wang Baochang at the mouth of an alley just past the pleasure boat ferry crossing during his flight from The Overflowing Splendor. He tried to scare him away from the alley by impersonating a ghost, then shouldered past Wang Baochang and continued on his way.

Shortly after, a group of servants employed by Xi Shiyong's father also reached Wang Baochang at the mouth of this alley near the ferry crossing. They tried to apologize for Xi Shiyong's actions, only for Wang Baochang to begin singing, his voice and movements like a man possessed. As the servants watched, he collapsed suddenly to the ground at the end of the song, his body as cold and stiff as a long-dead corpse.
