Three Deathbringers
The Three Deathbringers, also known as the sanshi (三尸; "Three Corpses") or sanchong (三蟲; "Three Worms"), are part of a Daoist physiological belief that demonic creatures live inside the human body. They seek to hasten the death of their hosts. These three supernatural parasites allegedly enter the person at birth, and reside in the three dantian "energy centers" (head, chest, and abdomen).
