Will-o'-the-Wisp

Told by Luo Du

Some say that strange lights float on the Ge Ridge mountain path late at night, not quite lanterns, blinking in and out through the fog, unnerving anyone who sees them. But since Ge Ridge is off the main routes and almost nobody passes at that hour, few have seen them, and most dismiss them as idle talk among night travelers.
