Chapter 202: Two Palaces Together_3

But Xun Country and the entire Central Plains still had a more widespread term used to refer to these indigenous people.

Mountain Ghost.

This certainly didn't mean that all ghosts in the mountains were borrowing corpses to resurrect themselves, but rather it was a derogatory term for the indigenous people of the Xun Country region.

Previously, inhabitants in the Mountain Baiyue area led a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Perhaps due to their living environment and dietary habits, they were generally shorter and more slender than people from the Central Plains; and with their tradition of tattooing and facial piercing, they looked terrifying at first glance, as if one had seen a ghost.
