The Legend of Situ Shankong.

Summary

The passage details a complex narrative involving a protagonist's encounter with Senior Qin, an elder with a ruthless approach to dealing with a ghost of a notorious historical figure named Yang De Ming. Yang De Ming was a military veteran responsible for numerous deaths during a rebellious period. Senior Qin harbors deep hatred for this man and believes those who commit evil should be completely erased from existence, denying them any chance of reincarnation. When the protagonist brings a wooden figure containing the ghost, Senior Qin dramatically destroys it at three in the afternoon - a time believed to scatter soul fragments, preventing rebirth. The protagonist is frustrated by Senior Qin's actions, which not only destroy the ghost but also potentially impact the protagonist's own karmic merit.
