The Hunters
Priest Lin Zhen
Youngest master of the Maoshan order. When his elders drew lots to decide who would walk the corpse road, Lin ate the lots and left that night.
茅山派最年輕的道長。長輩們抽籤決定誰去走屍路，林真把籤吃了，當夜就動身。
Monk Bao Shan
A temple cook who out-wrestled the abbot and was handed the war staff as a joke. He carried it down the mountain anyway — someone has to walk in front of the frightened.
廟裡的伙夫，摔角贏了住持，眾人開玩笑把戰棍塞給他。他照樣扛著下了山——總得有人走在害怕的人前面。
Blade Mei Qing
Seven generations of caravan escorts, ended in one night. She cut a branch from the peach tree over their graves. She fights close enough to read the burial name on every corpse she puts down.
七代鏢師，一夜斷絕。她從墳頭的桃樹上折下一枝。她貼得夠近，近到能讀出每具被她放倒的屍身上的諱名。
Archer Yan Yixing
A mountain hunter who once shot a hawk through fog by sound alone. After the night the stars scattered he inherited a sky map disguised as a hunting song — the only thing his grandmother left him.
山裡的獵戶，曾隔著濃霧單憑聲音射下一隻鷹。散星夜之後，他繼承了一張偽裝成獵歌的星圖——那是他祖母留下的唯一遺物。
Elder Xu
He asks every spirit its name before he seals it, and has never once given his own. Nine hundred and ninety-nine so far. He has sworn to retire at a thousand for thirty years.
他封住每一個魂之前都先問它的名字，卻從未報上自己的。至今九百九十九個。他發誓滿一千就收手，這誓已經發了三十年。
