"Who?"

Fang Xing asked.

"It's me, Master Bayi's maid, Maya!"

A girl's voice came from behind the door.

"Come in."

Fang Xing was silent for a moment before speaking.

The door opened, and a maid who looked only seventeen or eighteen, full of youthful vitality, walked in.

"Did Bayi send you?"

Fang Xing asked casually.

"It's... no, I volunteered."

Maya looked at Fang Xing's handsome face, seemingly gathering courage: "I want to give my most precious thing to you, instead of it being taken away by some random master..."

Fang Xing was silent upon hearing this.

On a territory, the lord has almost unlimited power.

For example, the notorious right of the first night, as well as the power to arbitrarily formulate criminal laws and even collect taxes.

Some bizarre lords even stipulated that goods dropped on the ground by passing merchant caravans belonged to them.

Besides that, marriage tax, shoe tax, grass tax, chicken and duck tax... all kinds of taxes under various pretexts were normal.

In this world, it was even more terrifying.

One could casually use the name of sacrificing to some spirit to send suitable 'sacrifices' to the altar, or even use lynch law to take away various organs...

"Thanks, but no need..."

Although Fang Xing felt pity in his heart, his taste had long been spoiled by various fairies in the Cultivation World and various internet celebrities in the Interstellar Era. Perhaps this Maya was the dream lover of most young men in the village, but to him, like those coarse foods, it was truly hard to swallow.

Maya's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she turned and ran out.

"Sigh... hurt another ignorant girl's heart again..."

Fang Xing inexplicably felt that if he were holding a rose at this moment, it would be exceptionally fitting: "Perhaps... not an ignorant girl."

Study.

Precious candles burned slowly, bringing warm brilliance.

"Master!"

Maya stood trembling before Master Bayi: "He... he refused."

"With your beauty, he actually refused..."

Master Bayi looked at Maya, his expression suddenly becoming ferocious for a moment: "Come here!"

Maya immediately lay on the ground, crawling under the desk like a dog...

A moment later.

Master Bayi let out a long breath: "Tomorrow... you go to clean the bedroom and take his hair."

Maya's head poked out from under the desk, nodding gently.

After the maid left, Bayi's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Although human essence and blood are the most suitable, hair will barely do. I hope the Great Wizard won't blame me..."

The next day, breakfast table.

Fang Xing casually took an apple, his mental power spreading out.

He saw the maid rummaging through his bed, finally finding a few hairs, and taking them to Bayi.

Master Bayi immediately went to the stable, had the groom lead out the only horse in the stable, and after mounting it, rode away in a cloud of dust.

'This guide is not bad...'

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he looked at the middle-aged woman opposite: "This lady... after breakfast, I should take my leave."

"Where is the guest planning to go?"

Bayi's wife was somewhat curious.

"I am an outsider from afar; I will probably wander around."

Fang Xing looked at Bayi's two children.

Both the boy and the girl were as exquisite as dolls, only four or five years old, full of innocence and childishness.

He touched the girl's head, said goodbye to the family, and headed in the direction Bayi had left.

Bayi rode his horse wildly for half a day before seeing a small city.

He bypassed the small city and came to a manor on the edge of the city.

"Please report, Bayi has an urgent matter and requests to see the great Wizard Shaman Menbasa!"

Bayi came to the manor gate, his face full of fawning smiles, and said to a servant who was yawning by the door.

This servant had slightly dark skin and a head full of dreadlocks.

Hearing this, he glanced at Bayi with his eyes.

Just one glance, and Bayi's breathing almost stopped, because there were no pupils in this servant's eyes, only whites!

"Wait!"

Fortunately, just a few seconds later, the servant's eyes returned to normal, and he walked into the manor.

Not long after, he walked out: "Bayi... the noble Wizard Shaman Menbasa has agreed to your request; this is a grace to you..."

"Yes, yes..."

Bayi nodded and bowed, stuffing a gold coin into the servant's hand.

This gold coin had an ancient design, minted by the Bright Empire of the past; the portrait on it had long been blurred, but this did not diminish the value of the gold in the slightest.

Seeing this gold coin, a hint of satisfaction appeared in the servant's eyes: "Go in..."

A hint of pain flashed in Master Bayi's eyes, and he quickly walked into the manor, coming to a room.

All kinds of precious incense immediately filled his nasal cavity.

"Come in!"

He stood respectfully for half an hour before hearing an old voice from inside the room.

Bayi bent his waist and entered the room, immediately seeing strips of colorful silk hanging down casually.

Incense burners were lit in the four corners of the room, with all kinds of scents wafting out.

A gaunt old man was sitting on a wool blanket, wearing silk clothes.

"Bayi, greets the noble Wizard Shaman Menbasa..." Bayi quickly knelt down and performed a great kowtow-like salute.

"Bayi... the crow told me that Bobolo is dead."

Wizard Shaman Menbasa spoke, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger, but Bayi's heart turned cold, and he quickly said: "It was an outsider who used vicious means to secretly harm Wizard Bobolo... I have already obtained the outsider's hair as a basis for the curse..."

"Not enough." Old Wizard Shaman Menbasa shook his head: "You must remember, only the Great Lord in the world will save everyone... You must offer everything of yours, including your flesh and blood, wife, children, land, wealth... all to the Great Lord!"

"Yes, everything belongs to the Great Lord... next time I will bring my wife to visit." Bayi's voice was hoarse.

"Those who harm wizards will surely be cursed by the Great Lord!"

Shaman Menbasa stood up, all kinds of vicious and cruel colors flowing through his eyes: "I want to refine that outsider into a Voodoo Corpse, keep his soul forever imprisoned in the corpse, watch him rot day by day, and still have him work for me..."

Master Bayi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

He followed Shaman Menbasa step by step into the room.

Inside was a small secret room, lit only by a candle, emitting a greenish glow.

Bayi suddenly saw a head with eyes wide open in the darkness and was startled.

After taking a few steps back, he realized it was a wild boar's head.

The huge wild boar's head was placed on the altar, letting its blood flow to fill the carvings on the gray-white altar base.

Wizard Shaman Menbasa picked up a black leather bag from his waist, and after opening it, a smell of alcohol wafted out.

This was absinthe, the wizard's wine.

He took a sip and pulled paper, wax, cloth, straw, and other items from various pockets on his body. His hands, old as chicken claws, were exceptionally dexterous, using them to make a pitch-black doll.

"Mao Fa!"

Shaman Menbasa suddenly spoke.

Master Bayi shuddered, feeling as if countless eyes were peeping at him in the darkness, and quickly handed over a small paper packet.

After Shaman Menbasa opened it, he mixed a few hairs into the doll and bound the doll tightly with red thread.

"Great Lord... please descend your power to punish this outsider who disrespects the wizard..."

Shaman Menbasa's voice was very clear at first, then gradually became blurred, as if two people were speaking at once, the voice extremely fuzzy, carrying complex and tongue-twisting spells.

On the altar, the scents of various fragrances mixed, making Bayi feel as if that wild boar's head had come alive, revealing a mocking smile at him.

"I curse you!"

Suddenly!

While Shaman Menbasa was chanting the spell, he pulled out a pitch-black needle and stabbed it into the liver position of the doll.

"Ah ah!"

Master Bayi suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his stomach.

He screamed, rolling on the ground, spitting out blood in large mouthfuls.

In the blood, there seemed to be fragments of internal organs mixed in!

"This... I... I have been cursed?"

Master Bayi looked at Shaman Menbasa: "Great Wizard... save... save me... I am willing to give you half of the village's territory..."

"Idiot, fool... your brain is stupider than a pig's... to actually have your hair replaced by someone."

Shaman Menbasa looked at Bayi, and after cursing viciously, he revealed a strange expression: "I accept your offering, and I will let you avenge yourself... your wife, your children... shall all be offered to me!"

"No..."

At this moment, Master Bayi's face was finally full of regret, but it was already too late.

His throat moved, and he could no longer say a complete sentence.

Even as time passed, the expression on his face gradually became numb and dull... if it weren't for his eyeballs still moving, one would almost think this was a corpse!

Shaman Menbasa finished chanting the spell, stepped forward, pried open Bayi's mouth, and stuffed all kinds of strange things into it.

Among them were unknown medicinal powders, as well as living spiders, centipedes, and so on...

In the end, Shaman Menbasa even danced a strange dance around Bayi.

He saw his limbs contorted, making all kinds of incredible movements, and amidst the violent shaking of his body, his face seemed to have changed, as if he were wearing a mask, suddenly looking like a different person!

No, not a person, but an 'evil spirit'!

This evil spirit had human facial features, and a purple-black tongue shot out from its mouth, growing longer and longer, like a poisonous snake, biting Bayi on the neck.

A thick pollution appeared, using this ritual to thoroughly 'impregnate' Bayi.

A moment later, Wizard Shaman Menbasa recovered, wiped his face, and became that gaunt old man again.

He looked Bayi up and down, nodded, then shook his head: "Just a hastily made Voodoo Corpse, not comparable to those that truly cost a lot of effort... Go, go find your enemy!"

Accompanied by Shaman Menbasa's words, the Bayi Voodoo Corpse took a few steps back, hid in the darkness, and gradually disappeared without a trace...
