During this time, my power has greatly increased, so the effect of the spell is several times stronger than before.
As I chanted the Rebirth Mantra, the man's body emitted bursts of white light, gradually becoming ethereal.
Finally, I finished the ritual to help the man pass on to the afterlife, and his body disappeared.
After I finished doing all that, I pushed open the door and left the room.
Zhou the Blind looked quite agitated. He glanced around the room and found it empty, appearing somewhat distraught.
"It's alright now. I've already performed the ritual to help your son pass on to the afterlife. Now you should tell the truth!"
I found a random spot to sit down and stared intently at Blind Zhou.
I'm certain that Zhou the Blind Man wasn't telling the truth when he first met us.
The so-called haunting is only his side of the story.
Either Zhou the Blind has something special about him, otherwise his son wouldn't risk his life to protect him.
"Master Chen, you're right! Actually, the problem lies with me! Rather than saying the village is haunted, it's more accurate to say my house is haunted!"
Nothing had changed over the years, until my son became like that, and only then did our family's situation improve significantly!
Zhou the Blind sighed and then recounted the story in detail.
Zhou the Blind knows my surname is Chen, and I guess Luo Tianhe already told him earlier.
"So what is your connection with the He family? You can accurately state information about the He family, and you even know the head of the He family. I think you must be no ordinary country bumpkin, right?"
My expression didn't change much, and I continued to ask him questions.
Zhou the Blind Man's words were full of holes.
His speech and behavior, coupled with his knowledge, were not at all like what one would expect from a country bumpkin.
“Master Chen, you are absolutely right. I am indeed not an ordinary country bumpkin! I used to be the steward of the He family!”
Zhou the Blind sighed heavily and revealed his true identity.
"The He family's butler? How come I don't know him?"
After hearing this, Luo Tianhe was completely dumbfounded.
I raised an eyebrow as well.
I had a hunch; this guy must have worked for the He family before, but I didn't expect him to be their butler.
This is already a very high status.
The key is that the butlers of such large families usually have some background or experience.
For example, he knows some spells.
"That was many years ago! I got kicked out because I did something wrong, and I don't remember a lot of things!"
This is a letter between me and your father! I watched your father grow up!
As if he had anticipated that we wouldn't believe him, Zhou the Blind Man pulled a crumpled envelope directly from his pocket.
He handed the envelope to Luo Tianhe, who opened it and found a letter inside.
"Yes, yes, this is my father's handwriting!"
Luo Tianhe's expression was extremely excited.
He now believes what Zhou the Blind Man said.
When Blind Zhou folded the letter again, I sensed a trace of demonic energy emanating from him.
But this demonic energy vanished in an instant!
I see!
I finally understand why the second brother made us come to this place.
I boldly speculate that the reason why Blind Zhou was driven out back then was because he was tainted by demonic energy.
But this was definitely not his own will.
Anyway, up to this point, I haven't felt any subjectivity from Zhou the Blind.
He didn't even know that there was such a thing as demonic energy in his body.
After all, this aura was extremely weak. If it weren't for my Heavenly Eye and my strong perception, I wouldn't have been able to sense it.
"Old Chen, just say what you're thinking! I believe what Blind Zhou says!"
Luo Tianhe must have guessed what I was thinking, so he glanced at me and asked me to express my thoughts.
"You were expelled from the family because you were infected by demonic energy! Since you were the He family's former steward, you must know what's under the He family's control!"
I didn't answer Luo Tianhe directly, but instead glanced at Blind Zhou again.
Sure enough, Luo Tianhe's expression tensed up when I mentioned demonic energy.
"What! Butler Zhou was driven away because he came into contact with demonic energy?"
Luo Tianhe exclaimed in surprise.
I waved my hand to tell Luo Tianhe to calm down.
"Old Luo, don't be in a hurry, let me explain slowly!"
After I finished speaking, Luo Tianhe's expression softened a little.
"You were infected by demonic energy back then, but the situation was a bit special! The demonic energy didn't directly control you, but instead tried to keep haunting you! I'm afraid even the He family can't say the specific reason!"
I continued to make bold speculations.
Zhou the Blind nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, that's right. After I was driven away and returned to the village, a lot of strange things did happen!"
At first, I thought it was a bit strange, but I never expected it was because of me!
After finishing his story, Zhou the Blind Man clutched his chest, still shaken.
Of course, his expression also began to show self-blame. I reckon that many of the neighbors have died because of Blind Zhou over the years.
From this perspective, this blind man Zhou is truly a scourge.
I then recounted in detail to Luo Tianhe the strange things that had just happened to his son.
Luo Tianhe's expression turned strange.
"Old Chen, are you saying that the reason his son is still alive is because he can't bear to leave his old father?"
Luo Tianhe was a little unsure.
