Jiang Congtao pieced together part of the truth from an old man.

All members of the Jiang family must be included in the family genealogy, regardless of gender, age, or marriage.

Once they entered the Jiang family, they all changed their surname to Jiang.

The year-end ancestral worship ceremony is a major event, and everyone must be present to respectfully pay homage to the ancestors.

Children under the age of seven stand before the altar and receive blessings and names from their ancestors.

Jiang Congtao had naturally experienced it. After that day, her father called her a piece of trash and locked her in the dungeon.

She used to not know how to judge whether a child was useless, but now she does.

Jiang Congtao sighed, "We're not worshipping our ancestors, but strange idols."

"The idol is choosing children."

Lin Xi frowned. "Another idol."

She experienced something similar when she was a child, and then she was thrown out of the Jiang family.

Jiang Ji's inexplicable coma and the unusual behavior of the Jiang family are all inextricably linked to the statue.

Therefore, she does not meet the requirements for a statue.

Lin Xi asked, "What are the requirements for the statue?"

"have no idea."

Jiang Congtao shook her head. "That old man told me that the Jiang family, whether collateral or direct, were bound by rules in life and are now trapped here after death."

She pointed to a large group of souls, "Look, they're all here. Those who aren't here have been scattered to the winds."

Lin Xi took out a blank yellow talisman. "Your soul is too badly injured. Come in and rest."

"Thanks."

Jiang Congtao clutched her chest and flew into the yellow talisman.

Lin Xi pulled the man in red back and tossed him aside gently.

The six divine messengers were stacked on top of each other like a human pyramid.

"Oh dear, we were wrong, little girl... no, little aunt, you are the ancestor, and we are the grandchildren."

"Grandma, your grandson will show you how to bark like a dog."

"Woof woof, woof woof woof!"

Lin Xi said calmly, "Shut up!"

The idols are the culprits, and they are the accomplices.

They enjoyed wealth and honor in life, but committed evil deeds after death, helping idols to oppress their own descendants.

The souls of ordinary Jiang family members are tattered and broken, while those old fogies are perfectly intact.

How ironic!

Lin Xi's gaze was icy cold. "You don't deserve to be my grandsons, not even dogs!"

"Yes, yes, you're right."

The messengers readily admitted defeat, forcing ingratiating smiles, "We're fools, we're cowards, it's all his fault!"

Except for Old Master Jiang, who was still dreaming, the other divine messengers quickly shifted the blame to the pig-headed man at the bottom.

"It's his fault, the first divine messenger!"

“He tempts us; he has the best relationship with idols.”

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The first divine messenger cursed, "A bunch of opportunists! I should have killed you all!"

Lin Xi pulled a pig's head out of the pile of ghosts and pressed it to the ground. "Tell me honestly, what is the relationship between the Jiang family and the statue?"

The first divine messenger had no facial features; his entire face resembled a deity's, with a gaping maw that opened and closed.

Why are you meddling in the Jiang family's affairs?

"Are you also a member of the Jiang family?"

"As long as the surname Jiang is involved, one can never escape the abyss, haha."

"You wait, wait for the idol to arrive..."

Jiang Ji weakly retorted, "You also have the surname Jiang, what good does it do to harm future generations?"

The first divine messenger was delirious, his laughter strange. "Yes, I also have the surname Jiang."

"No! My surname isn't Jiang, I'm a statue... hahaha."

Lin Xi was too lazy to listen to nonsense. She chopped him on the back of the neck with a chop to the neck, gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips, and pinched the strange face.

It's oily and soft, like touching pigskin.

Having served as a lackey of the idol for so long, they have completely forgotten what it means to be human and have turned into pig-headed monsters.

Lin Xi peeled off the pig's head skin.

The first divine messenger covered his face tightly, his voice filled with panic, "Stop! How dare you! This is a symbol of the divine statue, you are not allowed to touch it! You are not allowed to!!"

Lin Xi pulled hard, "I want to see what secrets your face is hiding."

The skin peeled off, revealing unremarkable features: a square face, a hooked nose, and thick lips; you wouldn't stand out in a crowd.

Jiang Ji's eyes widened. "Your appearance proves one thing: your great-grandmother was extremely beautiful."

Jiang Chi thought of another thing: "If he cares so much about his appearance, what's so special about this face?"

Jiang Ting's indifferent expression finally changed. He moved to the best position and listened carefully.

Jiang Ji felt the cold air and turned around. "Big brother, you want to hear the gossip too?"

Jiang Ting glanced at him, his face pale.

"ah--!"

The first divine messenger screamed, his voice trembling, "You can't show your face, you can't show your face..."

Lin Xi looked at him, then at the Jiang family, and revealed the truth that shocked everyone present.

“You are not related to the Jiang family by blood.”

The first divine messenger was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Haha, you found out, you actually found out!"

He readily admitted, "I am infertile, so I deliberately adopted your ancestors."

His name is Jiang Han, and he is a hunter.

Once, while hiking up a mountain, I found a strange statue. It was completely black, with no eyes, no nose, and only a big mouth.

The statue was made of good material, so Jiang Han took it home, planning to sell it in a few days to buy wine.

That night, the statue came to life.

"I am a deity, and I can grant you three wishes."

Although Jiang Han didn't believe it, he decided to give it a try and made his first wish.

"I need money, lots of money."

A pile of glittering gold appeared on the ground.

Jiang Han's eyes lit up as he greedily made a wish.

"I want the most beautiful wife."

The most beautiful woman in the surrounding area lay on his bed, trembling.

Jiang Han held gold in his left hand and embraced a beauty in his right.

"I also want to live forever."
