"Shanyue should have been separated into four parts, why strive for a forced unity? The Demon Lord stands high upon Cloud Peak... making him... have no grave to lie in."
The narrator banging the gong and drum stretched his voice and howled, the actor playing Ganixi, dressed in a black robe, looked imposing. With a flick of his robe, he shouted:
"Ha! Grandfather does this deed, whether you or I know, heaven and earth also know, ah, even if I die and become a ghost spirit, I will remain guilt-free at heart."
The audience below stretched their necks and sighed in unison, some even stood up to cheer. Ganixi held a high status in the hearts of the Shanyue people. Among the Shanyue who migrated eastward, many were refugees from the Great Jue Court, bringing with them the stories of Ganixi before his death. The Shanyue people's reverence mixed with the original inhabitants of Lijing Town's fear of Ganixi, giving birth to the monarch on stage who was both righteous and evil.
