PAHANJIP

Summary

From Entropy:
Who do you call when you’ve got a ghost on your back? Well, if you can pay the price, two shamans (exorcists) will fight them for you, but beware. Set in the Tang dynasty, read how they combat the world of the supernatural with a flair of morality as they come across “stories of broken silence,” one of which goes as such:

“That kid… Even though his lifespan will increase, the luck and fortune he will receive will still be sixteen-years’ worth. The blessings for food will run out, and he will only be allowed to eat by others’ pity. Luck with acquaintances will run out, and all his family and friends will all either die or leave him. His health will not be agreeable, so he will suffer from many diseases during his life. He has missed his time of death, so no matter how long he lives on, he will ultimately meet a cruel and wretched death. That is why I told you, one should be happy with what one has received. He will only be able to live a life, which his parents gave him with all their hearts, that is worse than death. It is indeed true that sometimes a parent’s love can also be poison.” “…Then, you should have told them. You should have let them know.” “Do you think that living miserably … is worse than dying?”
