Although the incantation sounds different from what we commonly believe, it has been verified before using that pen.
The next second, the disobedient bronze mirror trembled and released a ray of light.
"It actually worked! It's like a spell!"
The woman's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
"But older brother, this spell doesn't seem to be working very well!"
The woman suddenly changed her tone and pointed at the bronze mirror, continuing her explanation.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the bronze mirror did indeed have an effect, but the effect was not very noticeable.
Although it emitted light and enveloped the corpse, it had no real effect.
Above the corpse, there seemed to be some remaining black mist, which was part of the spider demon's remaining body.
If this part of the body is not completely destroyed, the corpse will probably not disappear.
When that time comes, the spider demon inside will be resurrected.
It can be said that the front-facing bronze mirror had some effect, but not much.
"It must be a problem with the spell, or something is missing to propel it forward!"
The woman thought for a moment, then analyzed the situation.
Generally speaking, there are only two common reasons: either the spell itself is the problem, or the method of activation is the problem.
Of course, there is also a more extreme case where both are lacking.
"I guess something's missing!"
I nodded. It seems that something is missing, and it's very likely that this thing is within me.
I first tried using Old Knife's blood.
Sure enough, after adding Old Knife's blood, the bronze mirror shone much brighter than before.
However, the effect was not immediate.
It has an effect, but it doesn't achieve the original expectations.
If the fat man's family really made their living using this stuff, then they're definitely not just at this level.
Moreover, they have no chance of getting Old Knife's blood.
The only possibility is that the trigger is located within the house.
Suddenly, the inkstone from earlier came to mind.
The spell was broken at that time.
The inkstone turned into powder, but luckily I collected the powder.
Without hesitation, I took out the small paper packet from my pocket. Inside the packet was yellow and black powder.
I carefully sprinkled the powder onto the bronze mirror.
Just as I expected, after the powder was sprinkled on, the bronze mirror emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the small ancestral hall.
"Such a powerful aura! It truly is a high-end magical artifact!"
His mother had seen many things before, but the energy released by this bronze mirror was surprisingly strong!
"It's a good thing, it's a pity that those people in their family didn't know that! Such a treasure, I don't know how they ruined it, and in the end, it was just left to gather dust!"
Looking at the bronze mirror in my hand, I couldn't help but sigh.
The items are good, but their family has a problem: they don't like to put things out in the open; they prefer to keep them secret.
This has led to the loss of many skills and techniques.
This may be another reason for the family's decline.
The powerful spells have been lost, resulting in a loss of their previous suppressive power. However, those fools who came after them still harbored ambitions and chose to absorb the evil spirits into their bodies.
"Keep a close eye on Xiao He!"
With a bronze mirror in my left hand and a lightning sword in my right, I set up a small array and used the light emitted by the bronze mirror to sweep it towards the headless corpse!
"Suppress all evil!"
I roared, and as the light swept across, black smoke emanated from the surface of the headless corpse before finally dissipating.
In this way, with the help of the bronze mirror, I completely destroyed the remaining evil spirits inside the headless corpse.
The headless corpse seemed to sense that the thing inside its body had been removed, and it stood up slightly and bowed in my direction.
Then the headless corpse vanished without a trace. "Sir, is that it?"
Seeing this scene before him, the fat man was still a little insecure.
I never expected that the headless corpse, which was so troublesome just now, would be dealt with in this way.
"That should be it! It's finally resolved!"
I put away the bronze mirror and also took a breath.
The headless corpse problem is solved, and now I know how to use this magical artifact.
The biggest gain from this visit to the residence was these two ritual implements.
Of course, besides these, there should also be those few small puppets.
Speaking of puppets, I suddenly remembered that I just put four puppets in the coffin. Where did those four puppets go?
"Grandpa, that's wonderful! My dad's finally gone. Can we go up now?"
After seeing the headless corpse disappear, the fat man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked me.
I gave the fat man a disdainful look. Is that something a human being would say?
"No, what I mean is, the crisis is finally over, shouldn't we hurry up and go up?"
The fat man realized that what he said was a bit inappropriate and quickly explained.
"Aren't you curious about where those seventeen scarecrows and the four little figures I placed went?"
I countered with a question to the fat man.
I've pretty much figured out the pattern of this house; things that look strange all have a certain purpose.
For example, the scarecrow also has four little people.
Their disappearance likely indicates that there is something else below.
"Does my brother mean we should continue exploring?"
The older woman is now cooperating with me; she understands what I mean immediately.
"That's right, I have a feeling there's something down there. Let's find out!"
I quickly packed my luggage and prepared to explore the room to see if there were any similar hidden compartments.
There are two passageways right below the guesthouse, and I don't believe there isn't something similar inside this house.
"Master! Master! I know there's a mechanism underneath this room!"
Just as I was about to search, the female ghost in the mirror spoke.
You know?
I frowned, then quickly realized that the female ghost might have found the corresponding information in the mirror.
"Yes, Master, this mirror not only nourishes my body, but it also left behind a lot of information. There is a large network of tunnels connecting the entire city beneath this mansion!"
The first thing the female ghost said shocked me to death.
"Wow!"
I really didn't expect that!
I had imagined there might be a secret room or passageway down there, but I never thought this thing connected the entire city!
"You mean the internet connection below runs through the entire county?"
I checked it again, and it was truly unbelievable news.
"Yes, Master, according to the information recorded here, there is a network of interconnected tunnels beneath Shenwu County! And the starting point and control hub of the network are located in the courtyard!"
The female ghost nodded repeatedly.
"The network has more than a dozen main lines, as well as a dense network of branch lines. It should cover the entire county!"
The female ghost continued to speak.
"Wait! More than a dozen main storylines? How many exactly?!"
My heart was in my throat.
"Seventeen!"
