"This is merely one of their myriad fragmented souls. Back in the day, the first emperor of the Saint Tang decreed that portraits of the generals Yuchi Jing and Qin Shuqiong be hung upon the palace gates to suppress evil spirits. The common folk soon followed suit, and thus the two generals became the door gods for every household in the Saint Tang Martial Dynasty. Their primary souls reside in the palace of Shen'an City, while their myriad fragments dwell upon the gates of the people's homes, possessing that same power to ward off evil."
After listening to Yu Luosha’s explanation, Chen Xuan nodded, a spark of realization in his eyes.
Yu Luosha continued, "The further one travels from the imperial capital, the weaker the divine power of these two generals becomes. The door gods in this sub-prefecture can still suppress third or fourth-tier ghosts, but any further out, they could only frighten away minor specters."
