It was the voice of a female ghost. I was a little surprised to hear that.
A thought suddenly occurred to me: I understood. The female ghost must have merged with the demon's will and learned some secrets about the He family.
"Come out and talk!"
I waved my hand, signaling for the female ghost to come out and speak first.
The female ghost hesitated for a moment, but still respectfully crawled out of the mirror.
When Lao Dao saw the female ghost in this state, he took a step back and almost peed his pants in fright.
After absorbing that pure energy, the female ghost's body became increasingly solid, and her aura became much stronger than before.
It's clear that for the female ghost, that ball of red light was a great tonic.
"Master, I just absorbed that energy and some faint memories have appeared. I think these things will be useful to you!"
The female ghost bowed respectfully to me again as she spoke. If it weren't for Old Knife and the fat man being there, I reckon the female ghost would have kowtowed to me.
"Go ahead and say it!"
I was quite curious about this, and I wanted to see what kind of nonsense the female ghost could come up with.
"Their original family was a very powerful Xuanmen family!"
Their job is to suppress all kinds of evil spirits. Among them was the demon we just saw.
The demon that the master just suppressed had the ability to bewitch people.
It's possible to manipulate someone by instilling their inner fears; in other words, as long as the other person harbors fear, there's an opportunity to exploit them!
The female ghost spoke slowly, and I nodded slightly after hearing it, because it was exactly what I had thought.
"As expected, you can control people through fear. Brother Chen, you're amazing!"
Old Dao gave me a thumbs up when he heard this, I rolled my eyes, and then let the female ghost continue.
"But the good times didn't last long. The family split into two factions. One faction advocated nourishing the suppressed demons and then constantly extracting their power."
The other faction, however, is more conservative, aiming to weaken the demon's power by continuously reinforcing the seal!
The female ghost glanced at me and continued speaking slowly.
I took a deep breath. Sure enough, if such a large family were to seal away so many things, there would definitely be internal disagreements.
"So some of them built this altar to continuously raise them, and at the same time extract the power from them?"
I raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing that things weren't that simple.
"Yes, but this is also the root of evil, because this power is too easy to extract, causing the strength of the family members to increase dramatically!"
As their power grew, some became arrogant and reckless. Ultimately, over two hundred years ago, the patriarch's younger brother, after absorbing [the power], had his personality controlled by a demon, almost merging with it!
The female ghost sighed as she spoke, lamenting that such a large family had almost failed in its pursuit of power.
"So, the patriarch's younger brother remained conscious at the last moment and chose to perish together with the enemy, right?"
Hearing this, I already guessed the general ending. Some stories are just like that, lacking originality.
"Master, you are truly a genius! Your guess was absolutely right!"
Although they chose to perish together, as a price, the sealed demon also gained a portion of the bloodline power of the family head's younger brother!
That's why, once you're controlled by this demon, you can open the stone door!
The female ghost continued to speak.
I suddenly realized that everything made sense now.
That's why we were able to open the stone door after just touching the fat man from before.
The reason is that this demon itself possesses a portion of the power of bloodline.
"Of course, Master, your guess about usurping someone else's place is also true!"
This branch of He Feilong's family shouldn't be of the He family bloodline!
The female ghost pointed at the fat man, and although she wanted to say something, she obediently shut her mouth.
"However, although they usurped the throne, their family did not do anything bad and still inherited the mantle of suppressing demons."
However, many spells were lost, and it ended up like this!
The female ghost sighed as she spoke, and I also felt the story had taken a bit of a turn.
"Although they occupied the He family and inherited their mantle, they lost many spells, which made it impossible to suppress that demon, thus creating a new opportunity!"
Someone in their family has been taken into custody again, resulting in the alteration of many of the family's books!
The female ghost suddenly changed the subject and looked at my backpack at the same time, "What about the books in the library?"
I took the notebook out of my backpack, and it didn't look fake.
"Most of the books in the library have been altered, but the notebook in the master's hands should be genuine."
After all, this thing is encrypted, and that demon couldn't decrypt it despite the enormous cost!
The female ghost explained to me slowly.
"Then why was our entire family wiped out? Was it because of a curse?"
At this moment, the fat man looked at the female ghost and asked the question he most wanted to ask.
The female ghost shook her head: "It is a curse, but it is not the original curse of the He family!"
"Although you usurped their place, the two families evolved peacefully, and you even left behind some of their descendants!"
The female ghost continued to explain.
I frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy as I listened. Although the story's logic was sound, I couldn't help but feel that something was missing.
"This curse must have been left behind by these descendants, and the reason is nothing more than worldly matters!"
"What's the rest? Are there any other details?" I urged the female ghost.
"I don't know about the rest; that's all I remember!"
The female ghost shook her head. Judging from her expression, this guy really didn't know anything about these things.
I kept thinking about what the female ghost had just said. It was clear, logical, and made sense, but it just went too smoothly.
"I understand, sir. It's all our family's fault, and we can't blame anyone else. We just need to get rid of the remaining evil spirits in the house!"
Before I could even speak, the fat man grabbed my hand and started trying to persuade me.
His ideological awareness is quite high.
At this moment, the woman was in much better condition.
"Brother, I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"
The woman seemed a little embarrassed; it appeared that although she had been controlled, she was still conscious.
This is the same as Lao Dao's.
"No, I noticed it a long time ago. Okay, let's rest for a bit, and then we'll continue our investigation later!"
I didn't dwell on the issue. I let the older woman rest properly first, and then we would set off to explore after she had rested.
"Investigate? Wasn't the demon eliminated?"
