Hong Ban asked, "Didn't you specifically contact the exorcism of evil spirits and the rituals?" Zhu Ming smiled and said that he would do any business that could make money. In addition to casting spells to ward off evil spirits, he also helps people contact businesses such as Cordyceps and jade agate.

Coming to Baoshan from Shuangjiang, Hong Ban and Zhu Ming met the Burmese Cordyceps merchant, Zhu Ming can speak Burmese, the two communicated for a long time, Zhu Ming said to Hong Ban: "He told me that he often goes to Myitkyina and Mengyang and other places to run business, and he also has relatively familiar friends in Mengyang, and he can ask them to inquire, but I don't know when the results will be obtained." Hong Ban hurriedly said that he could wait.

Zhu Ming asked the Cordyceps merchant to help pay more attention when he returned to China, and Hong Ban gave the Cordyceps merchant another piece of clothing printed with Mandan's head.

Hong Ban lived in Zhu Ming's house, I have to say that this Zhu Ming is really one of the few brokers and businessmen with a conscience, maybe it is because the Hong family has done good deeds for generations, maybe Zhu Ming heard about Mandan and felt extremely hateful, anyway, he spared no effort to help Hong Ban.

More than 20 days later, the Burmese Cordyceps trader called Zhu Ming's house somewhere in Myanmar and said that he had asked a Buddhist card merchant in Myitkyina, and that there were only forests and mining areas in Mengyang, and there were not many residents. But in a small town to the north, there lived a white-clothed Master Azan who died violently more than half a year ago, and his daughter was also a Dharma practitioner, but disappeared after her father's death, and her appearance was the same as the head printed on the clothes, but her name was unknown.

It seems that Mandan's statement that her family is in Mengyang is also false, and she thought that there was a clue, but this clue is basically useless. Zhu Ming said: "Not necessarily, this is also intelligence, I suggest we go there and find out!" ”

Hongban has never been abroad, and although Tengchong, Yunnan Province, is on the border with China and Myanmar, he has never been to this country. With the help of Zhu's Cordyceps trader, the two applied for visas at the border and entered Myitkyina from Yunnan. The political situation in Myanmar is relatively chaotic, especially in northern Myanmar and other places, and it can be said that there are guerrillas everywhere. The two of them have to travel north by car from the Myitkyina area to this area called Savawa, and they have to be interrogated by armed men to carefully look at your documents. Zhu Ming told the situation of several cordyceps merchants and jade merchants in Myitkyina, and he was successfully released.

I finally got to Savoy, which is also a small town full of dense woods. According to the address inquired by the Cordyceps merchant, Hong Ban and Zhu Ming came to the house of the white-clothed Azan. Myanmar is poor, and these dwellings are even more shabby and dilapidated than those in Thailand, with simple hanging houses made of logs, square logs, and bamboo mats and thatch. Hung Ban saw that both men and women in Myanmar wore skirts and thought it was strange.

After Zhu Ming inquired, someone pointed out to them that a certain house in the woods across the river was there, and no one lived in it now. There used to be a wizard named Wu Tenglin who was very powerful, but he died a few months ago. Zhu Ming hurriedly asked if he had a daughter, and Hong Ban unzipped his jacket, revealing the Mandan head printed on his chest.

The villager hurriedly pointed to Hong Ban's chest: "She is Wu Tenglin's daughter, her name is Ma Dan." At this time, Hong Ban knew that the real name of this "Mandan" was Ma Dan. But she disappeared a few days after the wizard's death, and no one knows where she went.

The villagers also told the two that the Wu Tenglin was called "Azan Tenglin" again, and some people came to him from other provinces and even Vietnam and China, as if they wanted to cast some kind of spell.

After crossing the river, the two came to Azantenlin's home, which was built next to a small stream in the woods, and the scenery was good, which was a tourist resort in the eyes of the Chinese. Zhu Ming said: "That Azantenglin is dead, his daughter has disappeared, and the villagers have said that they have never seen her again, should we still go in?" There's no need. ”

Hong Ban stepped on the ladder to the front of the house, the thatched hut was dilapidated and lifeless, and there were many maggots crawling near the windows, and a large number of flies flying around. Seeing these maggots, Hong Ban's hands trembled with fright, and he suddenly remembered the maggots that had just been unraveled before. Zhu Ming covered his nose and looked into the window, saying that it seemed to be a kitchen, and the pot stove was full of maggots, which should have been attracted by some kind of rotten food.

The door was unlocked, and the two entered the house, where there were only three rooms, two bedrooms and a kitchen. From the items in the house, it was still easy to tell which bedroom belonged to Master Azantenlin and which belonged to Madan. Although the house was already empty, Hong Ban still felt like a thief, and he felt uncomfortable standing in the house and didn't dare to move.

Zhu Ming didn't care, and rummaged in Ma Dan's bedroom for a long time. At this time, Hong Ban suddenly had a very strange feeling, and he immediately said to Zhu Ming: "Get out quickly, someone is coming!" Zhu Ming hurriedly walked out of the hut with Hong Ban, looked around, and hid behind a pile of firewood on the side of the house.

I hid for several minutes, but I didn't see anyone coming, the neighborhood was quite remote, even a little desolate, and there wasn't even half a figure. Zhu Ming couldn't help but ask, "Master Hongban, are you sure you heard footsteps?" ”

"It's not footsteps," Hong Ban shook his head, "it's that I can feel someone nearby, obviously." Zhu Ming stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of firewood and looked around vigilantly. In order to prevent heavy rain from flooding into the house, most of the houses in the countryside of Yunnan and Southeast Asian countries are stilted, Zhu Ming lowered his head, and he could clearly see from the bottom of the house that there was no one within a radius of a few hundred meters.

But he thought that Hong Ban was a mage after all, and his senses must be better than ordinary people, so he had to continue to guard patiently. Twenty minutes passed, Zhu Ming's legs were numb, and he could be sure that there was absolutely no one around here.

Zhu Ming looked at Hong Ban, Hong Ban also felt strange, he hesitated and said, "Isn't it a human?" Zhu Ming said that if it is not a human, can it still be an animal.

Hong Ban closed his eyes for a moment and opened his eyes: "I'm afraid this is the qi of the Yin Spirit, although there is no one in the range we can see, but this feeling is still there, and it is getting stronger and stronger." There is a powerful obsession, stronger than the yin energy I have sensed when I used to practice witchcraft in the village...... Why is that? ”

The two looked at each other, and Zhu Ming stood up and asked if it had anything to do with witchcraft. Hong Ban thought to himself, that Master Azantenglin had died a few months ago, and if he was buried near here, then his Yin Spirit might still be there. In addition, he is also a mage, so it is very likely that the spirit body will not disperse and wander around.

When my father was alive, he said to himself that people have souls after death, but some people's souls can't be gathered, and some can gather but their obsessions are not strong. Only that kind of Yin spirit with a strong obsession can make the mage have a strong sense. The so-called obsession is very strong, to put it bluntly, it is just a lot of resentment, and most of them are accidental deaths, which is commonly known as "horizontal death". But not all the deceased are resentful, such as being hit by a car, falling to death and dying of sudden illness, some of these yin spirits have no resentment, but if the cause of death is a human accident, then there will be a strong obsession, such as being killed by someone, and it is an innocent victim.

And the yin qi that Hong Ban can sense now is far beyond the obsession of ordinary yin spirits. The two came to the door of the hut again, Hong Ban closed his eyes, chanted the mantra in a low voice, and walked slowly while chanting. He stretched out his right hand and pointed in a certain direction, changing with the position of the walk, but the direction that Hongban was pointing was all gathered at a certain point.

Zhu Ming looked carefully and found that this point was in Ma Dan's bedroom, he walked into the room and found that there was only a simple wooden cabinet in the direction that Hong Ban was pointing to, and when he opened it, there were only some old women's clothes and pants in it. Zhu Ming knocked on the cabinet board and found that the bottom was empty, and there was a distance of about 40 centimeters from the ground.

He saw that there was no door outside the wooden cabinet, and then checked, it turned out that the bottom plate of the wooden cabinet was alive, which was equivalent to a built-in small cabinet. Lifting the bottom panel, there was a small bag wrapped in white linen, about the size of a basketball. Zhu Ming took out the small baggage, and Hong Ban stood in the room, raising the volume of chanting mantras.

Unfastening the small baggage, Zhu Ming was startled, there was a human skull inside.

The two of them now understood that the powerful resentment that Hong Ban sensed just now was emanating from this skull. Zhu Ming had contacted a lot of spell-casting businesses, so he asked, "Master Hong, Master Hongban, is this ...... Is it a specially collected bone, or is it a magic weapon used by wizards to cast spells? ”
