On the 2nd day, Magistrate Ma brought a bunch of people along to search for Ma Daliang, only to find a few torn pieces of clothing and a few bones lying inside a large puddle of blood
Everyone said he was eaten by the ht so too But thispassed away,noises on the hill, the sound of it so horrible that one can feel goosebuht So he had turn into a vengeful spirit, looking to eat people
During this period, the entire toas living in fear and Magistrate Ma, fearing that so would happen, immediately went and found a fa died of an unnatural death and bear regrets in his heart, which is why his spirit was out looking, haunting Magistrate Ma then asked for a solution, and the priest said that he would need to perfore
