Brochure of Ghosts

The **Brochure of Ghosts** (群鬼册, Qún Quǐ Cè) is a compliation of the Ghost Valley's Top Ten Ghosts, including paintings and descriptions of each Ghost. It is an exclusive item to the live-adaptation *Word of Honor*.

## Creation

The brochure was originally complied by Zhao Jing in order to gain the favour of the other sects, as everyone is coming around to start their campaign against the Ghost Valley and its inhabitants.

## Contents

### Text

Zhao Jing addresses all the sects of the martial arts, starting that he had met the Grandmaster Cimu in person concerning the situation of the rising tensions in the marital arts.

He documents the events of the Ghost Valley's atrocities in order to steal the Liuli Armour. Stating the murders they committed and how they exterminated multiple sects in jianghu, such as the Dan Yang Sect, and killed important figures like the master of Moun Tai, Ao Laizi‏‎, which shook the martial arts world. Zhao Jing then expresses his shock at the slaughter of the Xianxia Sect on the hands of the Ghost Valley, with very few remaining survivors.

Zhao Jing then describes the Ghosts actions as innumerable and evil, and despite their notorious reputation for their viciousness, they cower in the shadows like cowards, where they are nowhere to be found. Therefore, they hide their true faces within the martial arts, so they can hide in plain sight and make it difficult for people to recognise them.

With an order, Zhao Jing orders all of the disciples of the Five Lakes Alliance to unite and spread the word of the pamphlet, which contains the appearances, characteristics, masters, techniques, origins and the life of the Ghost Valley Chief, Wen Kexing, and his Top Ten Ghosts.

The pamphlet is called the Brochure of Ghosts, as soon it is published, it will widen the net and leave the Ghost Valley Master and his ten Ghosts cornered, with nowhere to hide. The Mountains and rivers will remain intact, and peace will reign again.

This is signed as "Zhao Jing, leader of the Five Lakes Alliance".
