Tu Yufan could also guess that it was probably the Wu family who did it. They had been slaves of the Lin family, which was a stain on the increasingly powerful Wu family and it was absolutely not allowed to remain on their record. Only by erasing the Lin family's traces could this shame be truly removed.
"Where's your grandfather?"
I heard before that Lin Batian’s grandfather had long since decided that his grandson was a waste and there was no way he would let him shoulder this burden independently.
Lin Batian lowered his head, his eyes dull and lifeless.
"Grandpa locked himself in a secret room and didn't allow anyone to come in, but I knew something must have happened to him. I was going to go to the secret room to find him after I finished the mission."
The two then arrived at the Lin family. Lin Batian directly broke open the door of the secret room. An old man with white hair was sitting inside. He looked at Lin Batian with strange and weird eyes, and finally sighed.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you tell me not to come see me?"
This person is Lin Batian's grandfather Lin Chuyun. Tu Yufan can see at a glance that there is another soul in his body, which is slowly merging into his body.
Could it be some kind of possession? Or some kind of ghost?
Seeing that the living soul was about to squeeze out of the body, while the ghost was able to merge into this body, Tu Yufan caught the ghost among them. However, even after catching it, he was still connected to this body, as if he was originally the living soul of this body.
How can a ghost completely replace a living soul? Even if a ghost possesses a human body, it cannot merge with the human body at all and cannot be born, grow old, get sick and die like ordinary people. But now it is completely different. If it is completely integrated into the living soul, perhaps it can be called another degree of transformation. It is simply absurd.
"It's useless. He is almost completely replaced. But I won't let him get his wish." Lin Chuyun's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and his soul suddenly burned bit by bit. The flames also swallowed the ghost bit by bit, and the ghost let out a shrill scream.
Lin Chusheng wanted to die with the ghost in his body.
"The thing I regret most in my life is adopting Wu Qianghua. I have spent my whole life exorcising ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, and have escaped death many times. I didn't expect that I would die at the hands of my close relatives. I almost couldn't keep my body, and was replaced by a lonely ghost." Half of Lin Chusheng's soul had been burned out, and his voice became weaker and weaker.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Batian's eyes were full of anxiety, and he wanted to move forward and touch Lin Chusheng. Tu Yufan held him back in order to avoid being accidentally injured.
"Tian'er, don't come over here. You are the one I worry about the most in my life. You were a traitor to your father when you were young, and you were afraid of death. You had poor aptitude and would faint at the sight of a ghost. Unfortunately, you are the only child left in the Lin family, so they have high expectations for you. They are usually too strict with you, which makes you always look timid. But when I grow up, the glory of the Lin family will disappear, and you don't have to bear the burden anymore. You can find a job with the money from the Lin family, support yourself, and be an ordinary person."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I will work harder on my cultivation in the future and will never let you down again. Please don't abandon me." Lin Batian's eyes were blurred with tears and he kept begging.
“Separation from life and death is the norm for human beings. Tian’er, come out early and don’t let grandpa worry.” Lin Chusheng uttered a weak last word before his soul disappeared. His body, which had been sitting upright, suddenly went limp and slowly fell to the side.
Tu Yufan slowly put Lin Chusheng's body down and saw several books on metaphysics next to him.
His eyes fixed, and he turned to the book on top which read "The Method of Substituting Ghosts".
Written on it was a magic called the Ghost Substitution Method. If a ghost could find a person whose birth date and time matched its own, the ghost would live with the person day and night, take the person's body parts, and combine them with rituals, then the ghost could secretly replace the person in a year.
