In "Tomb Robbers Notes", Panma's true identity is an old local hunter in Banai.
There is no relationship between Panma and Zhang Qiling. They are not relatives, and Panma is not a member of the Zhang family. Although Panma also has a pigeon blood tattoo that appears when exposed to heat, like the Zhang family, he has nothing to do with the Zhang family.
The Panma tattoo became like this because of a Feng Shui master. Panma is an old local hunter in Banai. He is an authentic Miao nationality. The local custom has always been to use herbal juice to tattoo. This is to prevent fever and other diseases that can cause the body to heat up. In order to prevent them from getting sick, they would boil a kind of herbal juice into juice, and then tattoo the juice on their bodies. As long as they get sick and have a fever, the tattoos on their bodies will show up and remain red.

Although Pan Ma’s father is not pure in mind, he In the end, they received the box lunch before they could do anything. Wu Xie and the others found Pan Ma's body on the way back.
