520			_a"斬鬼傳" by Zhang Liu is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces the main character, Zhong Kui, a scholar from the Tang dynasty, who is described as a fierce but capable individual with the innate ability to confront evil spirits. As the story unfolds, Zhong Kui's journey leads him from his examination in the capital city to his fateful encounter with the emperor, setting the stage for his subsequent role as a demon-slaying deity. At the start of the tale, we find Zhong Kui traveling to the capital for the imperial exams, where his unfortunate appearance becomes a point of contention with the emperor. Despite his talent in poetry and literature, his looks lead to confrontation with court officials and eventually a tragic turn of events. The narrative vividly details his arrival in the bustling capital, interactions with various characters, and the ominous foreshadowing of his destiny. Following his self-inflicted demise out of frustration, he is reborn as a powerful spirit tasked with vanquishing malevolent forces, thus launching a journey filled with supernatural encounters and moral lessons about righteousness and judgment.
