This is actually a golem, and you can tell that its creation was quite sophisticated.

The golem was about three meters tall. It was impossible to tell what kind of demon it was, but a faint demonic aura could be sensed from its body.

Below the golem is a base, on which various magical runes are carved.

In other words, the purpose of this altar is to serve this golem.

"This is too bizarre. I never imagined that a family of Taoist masters would worship a demon statue."

If this news gets out, this family will probably be wiped out!

Seeing this, the older woman couldn't help but speak up.

I nodded. The old lady was right. For the righteous path, let alone directly worshipping a demon statue.

Even setting up a simple altar for a sacrificial ceremony would be illogical.

Anyway, I've never seen Liu Sandao and his group use it.

"It seems the He family isn't any better. Girl, there's probably a reason why your ancestors and my ancestors betrayed each other!"

The fat man finally understood.

He quickly stated that his family was innocent and that the real culprits were the original He family.

I actually agree with this.

From what we can see now, the He family claims to be righteous, but behind the scenes they do all sorts of shady things.

Take this golem for example; it's something no righteous family could possibly do.

"Brother Chen, I can sense that this sculpture is not simple. We should destroy this thing!"

Old Dao leaned closer to me and whispered a reminder. I looked at Old Dao, didn't say anything, and just nodded silently.

I stared at Lao Dao, pondering what had just happened.

Why was Lao Dao able to successfully open the stone door?

Is it really because he is of the He family bloodline?

The problem is, the world is so big, it's quite unusual that these people related to the He family could all get together at the same time.

I suddenly realized that when I saw this golem, Old Knife didn't pee!

"So that's how it is!"

A bold idea popped into my head.

I looked at Lao Dao with a more wary gaze.

"Yes, the golem is going to be destroyed, but before that, I need to figure out his logic!"

I didn't refuse Lao Dao's request, but instead went along with what he was saying.

"There are too many strange things here at this altar. I need to figure them out before I can make a decision!"

I slowly spoke to the fat man, the middle-aged woman, and Old Dao.

And they kept a close eye on their expressions.

Surprisingly, none of the three had any objections.

"Let's split up. Xiao He, you're in my group. Big Sister, you go east. Lao Dao, you go west!"

We plan to split into three groups.

I was paired with the fat man to investigate the golem, while Old Knife and the old lady were responsible for the west and east respectively.

Although the fat man was scared, he agreed because I was with him.

The older woman probably had her own methods; she took the talisman from me and went straight over.

Old Dao gave me a few words of advice, telling me to be careful, and then left.

I stared at Lao Dao's retreating figure, a smile playing on my lips.

Sure enough, the current Lao Dao is very different from the one before. If it were the old Lao Dao, he would have wet himself in this situation long ago.

I feel that Lao Dao is probably being controlled by something now.

"Huahua, did you find anything inside?"

I took out the mirror and questioned the female ghost inside.

I wonder how the female ghost is doing inside, and whether she has discovered anything unusual.

This time, the female ghost didn't peek out, but instead huddled inside the mirror: "Master, there's nothing to be found yet."

However, the evil energy in this altar you are in is too strong. I will be torn to pieces as soon as I appear.

The evil energy and this family probably don't have much to do with each other!

The female ghost in the mirror trembled as she explained to me.

I frowned, feeling a sense of disbelief upon hearing this explanation.

How could that be?

All the evidence points to a connection between the He family and this altar, so why does this evil energy have that effect on the female ghost?

"This mirror protects me; evil spirits cannot enter it. Master, please be careful too."

I can sense a powerful resentment within this golem!

At that moment, the female ghost reminded me again. My brows furrowed even deeper.

I suddenly remembered some things I had seen in Yingniang's notes before.

The golem in front of me seems somewhat similar to that one.

"Okay, Huahua, go look for information inside. Do you see any books similar to those about raising ghosts?"

I quickly asked the female ghost.

A crazy idea popped into my head, but I'm not sure about it right now.

"Okay, Master, wait a moment, I'll do it right now!"

The female ghost dared not delay and quickly shrank her entire body inside.

At this moment, the fat man next to me finally couldn't help but ask me, "Grandpa, what's going on? Did you find something?"

I hummed in agreement, then asked the fat man, "Have you noticed that although this golem is terrifying, it also constantly exudes evil energy?"

But this evil energy seems ridiculously weak!

The fat man looked embarrassed: "Sir, have you forgotten? I'm just an ordinary person. How could I possibly sense something like evil energy?"

I looked at the fat man with a half-smile: "Really? Xiao He, there's no one else around now. Are you not even telling me the truth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word.

After a long pause, she finally managed to speak with difficulty: "How...how did you know?"

I remained calm, still with that nonchalant air: "I know far more than you think! Tell me, what else are you hiding?"

In fact, I really didn't expect that my casual question would trick this old guy into revealing all this information.

I could sense that this guy was hiding something from me, but I had no idea what it was.

"Sir, to be honest, I was just about to tell you, but the girl next to me and that old knife guy are both problematic!"

The fat man looked around, then lowered his voice and spoke in a serious tone.

I was shocked; I never expected that this fat man would actually figure out that Old Knife was the problem.

"That young lady must be hiding something, but what about Lao Dao?"

I moved closer to the fat man, wanting to see what he had discovered.

“Your friend was fine when we left, but this time when he came, I could sense that he was different from before!”

The fat man explained it to me in a very serious manner.

"Don't worry, sir, I'm very good at judging people. For example, I can tell if you're missing something!"

Fearing I wouldn't believe him, the fat man continued.
