Description
In bygone days, there were two ruffians wandering the city, always spending their nights beneath the same section of the city wall, thus forming a close bond.
Quick as Fire, Fast as Wind
Information
Type: Yaoguai Chiefs
Location: Woods of Ember
With no attachments or concerns, they acted recklessly and without restraint. One time, during their robbery of a wealthy young master, they accidentally killed him, leading to their joint sentencing to death by beheading, their execution scheduled in the autumn.
While imprisoned, one ruffian said to the other, “We’ve had a carefree life, and if we must die, so be it. It’s a pity we won’t be able to enjoy ourselves together anymore.”
The other ruffian replied, “If you wish to continue our fun together, it’s not impossible. I am a descendant of the ‘Falling Head Clan’ and possess some tricks.” He then whispered a set of skills into his companion’s ear.
Come autumn, the two were beheaded in the public square. As the executioner sprayed wine and swung his blade, their heads fell to the ground but suddenly flew up into the air, much to the astonishment and cheers of the onlookers.
Afterwards, the two heads flew into the mountains and became yaoguais, one named “Quick as Fire” and the other “Fast as Wind”.
