      This legend had been handed down in their village for a hundred years, possibly even longer. Yet Yi Xun never believed it until today.

　　If the legend was true, then everything could be explained clearly.

　　"Uncle Ding." Yi Xun discovered that his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e after he spoke, he then continued: "Do you believe the legend?"

　　"Legend? What legend? ……… oh, you mean that ah. We have always believed it."

　　"Why?"

　　Obviously they had never experienced it, then for what reason did they believe?

　　Uncle Ding seemed to know what was weighing on his mind and sincerely said: "Xiao Xun ah, this stuff of legend won't just be there out of nothing2. Since it has been pa.s.sed down in our small village for so many years, there must be a reason behind it."

　　"Xiao Xun, if you want to understand more things related to the legend, you can go to the library. Every year, a person is specially a.s.signed to record pertinent matters concerning the Ghost Festival for future generations to see. There would be the introduction to the legend inside. If you want to go, I can give Ding Yi a call. Today she happened to be on duty at the library. I can let her arrange it for you."

　　"Thank you Uncle Ding."

　　"Go, perhaps after looking through it, you could recall what couldn't be mentioned before."

　　Yi Xun arrived in front of the library to see a 17-18 years old girl standing at the door.

　　"Ding Yi."

　　Ding Yi lifted her head when hearing her name, and her complexion turned slightly reddish when she saw Yi Xun. In a low voice she said: "Yi Xun, you have arrived. Papa gave me a call and told me that you are looking for the book with information on the Ghost Festival, right? I'll take you there."

　　"Troubling you, Ding Yi."

　　"No……. No problem."

　　Ding Yi led him forward and stopped in front of a transparent case at the library's central s.p.a.ce. She reached out and pressed on the surface then the case sides opened up. A black book slowly came out to the front of the two people.

　　Ancient ——— That was Yi Xun's first impression of the book.

　　Yi Xun carefully picked up the book and placed it on the desk at the side then began to search for the things he was looking for.

　　"How magical, it's all thanks to Wu Shen1."

　　"Today is Wu Shen's birthday, Lang w.a.n.g together with us will celebrate together. It's a day worth remembering."

　　"Ah, at the time when we were in difficulty, Wu Shen appeared. He brought about hope and we finally  could see the coming dawn of a new era."

　　Wu Shen appeared?!

　　"Really unexpected, Wu Shen was obviously just in the body of a child, yet he has a powerful magic power."

　　Yi Xun: "Ding Yi, this book seems to lack a page. There is no record on the Ghost Festival ten years ago."

　　"Impossible!" Ding Yi suddenly shouted in reflex. She promptly came towards Yi Xun's side. Afterwards, astonishment was shown across her whole face.

　　"How is it possible!"

　　"Inform the mayor, ok." Yi Xun seriously said: "Tearing the ancient book that has been handed down through generations is not a trivial matter. The mayor must be notified as soon as possible."

　　Ding Yi: "I understand, I will immediately make the call."

　　She left hurriedly when she was done speaking, leaving Yi Xun behind by himself. He stared at the missing page in front of him and fell in contemplation.

　　The matter of damaging the ancient book had never been done before. It could be said that someone just tore the page within these few days. 

　　But the person who tore the book, why would he tear the record of the events that happened during the Ghost Festival 10 years ago?

　　Was it a coincidence?

       No, it was absolutely no coincidence!
