“That night the man was visited by an enraged spirit who identified himself as the “Great King Wutong.” The spirit said that although he was powerless against exalted and righteous officials like Tang Bin and Yin Jishan, he would not forgive this “petty town dweller” (shijing xiaoren) for his insolent act of desecration.”
