"Obsession, it's an obsession! Someone from this family has entered your body with their obsession!"
I explained it to the older woman, but now I understand her even less.
Why would such a strong obsession exist in this house, and why would this obsession directly enter the old woman's body?
What is the relationship between the woman and this family?
Suddenly, I thought of Fatty Sister again. I had a feeling that this matter was related to Fatty Sister, but she was no longer with me.
"Brother Chen! Do you think it's possible that this girl is related to the lady of this family? Like, maybe she's a descendant or something, otherwise there's no way to explain it!"
Old Dao really had a wild imagination, coming up with an outlandish idea.
"What are you thinking? I'm only in my early twenties, how could I possibly be related to this family!"
The older woman immediately became unhappy after hearing this. Women, you know, will turn on anyone who calls him an old monster.
"Hehe, little sister, don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just thinking about it!"
Seeing that the old lady was angry, Lao Dao quickly put on a smiling face to appease her.
"Alright, stop joking around. Now let's think about how to solve this! We absolutely have to save He Feilong. He's very important to us, and he's also a key clue!"
I stopped the old lady and Lao Dao, telling them to stop arguing for now, because the most important thing right now is to rescue that fat man.
"I know, Brother Chen, but we're stuck with nowhere to go. The way we came is blocked, and there's nothing ahead of us!"
After hearing what I said, Lao Dao made a bitter face.
"Brother, what do you suggest? We'll do whatever you say!"
At this point, the older woman also began to speak up, saying that the current environment was not good for them.
I carefully observed my surroundings and found that it was almost a closed space. The path behind me was completely blocked, and as for the front, after the fog dissipated, there was nothing but walls.
We were trapped in a dark space.
"Huahua, go inside and search again, see if there's any important information!"
I tapped on the mirror and summoned the female ghost out again.
This time, I guess the only way is to start with the obsession.
"Master! I've been searching while you were talking, but I can't find anything, except for a few simple mentions in this county annals!"
As soon as the female ghost finished speaking, she threw an ancient book at me. When I picked it up, I saw that it was the county annals of Shenwu County.
I dared not be negligent and began to carefully peruse the book. And I must say, the county gazetteer contained very comprehensive information.
Basically, it has items from over 400 years ago to over 100 years ago.
Just then, I suddenly realized something was wrong!
"Strange, this is really strange! Why would a county gazetteer from over 200 years ago or even 100 years ago appear here!"
When I saw the recent records, I was stunned!
Because our previous conclusion was that the bronze mirror contained items from more than two hundred years ago.
What followed was the He Feilong family taking over the family business.
At that time, the new family could not gain the approval of the bronze mirror, so any books that were unrelated to the original family could not be inserted.
However, this county gazetteer overturned this idea, meaning that He Feilong's family also had members who could stuff things inside.
Otherwise, these things simply don't match up in terms of timing!
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Did you find out something again?"
When Lao Dao saw that I wasn't moving, he quickly grabbed my hand, afraid that something might happen to me.
"Old Dao and Sister, you two come here and take a look. There's something wrong with this book!"
Look at the timeline later!
I turned directly to the page at the back of the book where the information was recorded. The old lady was stunned when she saw the time on it, and she immediately understood what I meant.
"Brother, do you mean this county gazetteer wasn't originally owned by the family, but was thrown in by He Feilong's family?"
After the woman finished speaking, she also felt a strange sense of panic.
I can understand that feeling. What was originally an impeccable clue has now been overturned by a number of reasons.
"That must be it. It seems many of our previous guesses were wrong!"
I took a deep breath, my face not looking too good. After so much deduction, I thought I was absolutely certain, but the contents of this county gazetteer completely shattered my illusions!
"Wait, brother! Take a closer look at this county gazetteer!"
Suddenly, the older woman called out to me, then turned to the last page of the book and wrote a line of small print in the bottom right corner.
"Hey sis, is this even Chinese characters? I can't recognize any of them!"
Old Dao stared at the line of text below, scrutinizing it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was.
I also looked at these characters; they were crooked and looked like Chinese characters, but I just couldn't recognize them.
I can say with absolute certainty that I have never seen this thing before!
"He said that there had been a huge miscarriage of justice in this family before!"
Those who came after discovered the problem and wanted to solve it, but they were powerless to do so.
The old lady picked up the book and began reading it aloud to me and my husband, word by word.
Old Dao and I were both filled with question marks.
Although many of these characters are crooked and illegible, none of us recognize them. How did the old lady figure them out?
"Old Dao, why are you two looking at me like that? Isn't it written very clearly here?"
The older woman turned around and noticed that Lao Dao and I looked strange, so she quickly asked what was wrong.
I gave a wry smile and said, "Girl, are you really sure you're not hallucinating? These may be square characters, but they're definitely not Chinese characters!"
"Yes, little sister, although I, Lao Dao, am not very literate, this is definitely not what you say!"
Old Dao echoed this sentiment.
"But that's exactly what it says! Does that mean I'm the only one who can understand these words?"
After hearing what Lao Dao and I said, the older woman was equally bewildered, and then made a guess.
"I understand, this is a kind of encrypted script used by the Xuanmen (mystical sect)!"
Only a certain type of person can see normal text; the rest see only distorted and crooked things!
The woman's eyes lit up, and she then gave a reasonable explanation.
I saw this in the notes that the older woman gave me before; it mentioned there was an encryption method involved.
I never expected to actually run into one.
"In other words, the text on this is encrypted information. Without the key, an ordinary person would just see a bunch of gibberish!"
And you happen to have the key! This key could be from your bloodline, or it could be something else entirely…
"I understand now, it must be that obsession from before!"
With that unwavering determination, you have the ability to crack codes!
As I spoke, I became more and more agitated. Recalling that obsession I had just experienced, I finally understood what was going on.
