   This new work is written in a unique style, using the culture of Duan Gong (shaman) (an intangible cultural heritage concept). Duan Gong is a real person in folklore who is believed to be someone who travels between the Yin and Yang realms and communicates with the gods. He practices self-inflicted pain and has the real ability to climb mountains of knives and descend into seas of fire to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits and pray for the people. The book is titled "The Exorcist Master: Starting with the Red-Clothed Duan Gong", which is naturally terrifying.
