The ghosts on this mountain weren’t strong, but there were a lot of them. We couldn’t move quickly enough. 

I guessed all the resentful and wandering ghosts in Kyoto had gathered here. There was also a large number of samurai. Although Japan isn’t as big as China, there were continuous wars in its history. Moreover, samurais were proud. When they lost the battle, they would commit seppuku to save their reputation. The result was this great number of wandering ghosts. 

Li Mazi said, “Brother, why have these ghosts suddenly come here?” 

I remembered there was a section in the legend that mentioned the Slaughtering Stone. That thing could absorb the energy from the ghosts. “They may have come here because of the Slaughtering Stone, but the stone is still weak now. I guess the stone wants to absorb the waves of souls to rebuild Tamamo no Mae’s body.”
