I Have a Diary

But seeing that Lin Mohua and Chu Jiang had already presented their birthday presents, they also opened their mouths one after another, and presented the gifts they had prepared to the old man.

The old man rolled up his sleeves and took everything away.

Seeing this, Lin Mohua immediately said: "Grandpa, no, Grandpa, can you let Mr. Chu stay in our Lin family for a while? My granddaughter has a lot in common with him."

The old man looked at Lin Mohua, was silent for a while and then looked at Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang just responded calmly, neither saying yes nor no.

Just when Lin Mohua was uneasy, the old man nodded slightly, "Then let my nephew stay for a while."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Lin Mohua immediately got up to thank her, with joy in her tone, this was the first time Chu Jiang had seen her have such obvious mood swings these days.

Others were a little surprised by this result, but most didn't mind it.As for the marriage or something, the horoscope has not been written yet, so don't worry.

After Lin Mohua sat down, the eldest lady also said softly: "This girl is headstrong, and it is only because you love her, old lady, that she is allowed to do whatever she wants."

"There is another matter. I would like to take this opportunity to talk to the old man."

The old man drank the wine by himself, as if to let her continue talking.

The eldest lady is very good at observing words and emotions, so she said immediately at this moment: "Fifth sister is still young, she always stays in our yard, I'm afraid she will get sick from boredom."

"There are several properties of our Lin family in the neighboring county. It is very important. I don't feel relieved to hand them over to those distant relatives. How about letting her go over there and watch?"

The Fifth Aunt bowed her head slightly when she heard this, but her fists under the table were clenched tightly. This bitch wanted to transfer her out of the Lin family so soon...

When other people heard this, they probably understood what it meant.But no one spoke. After all, after the master passed away, the eldest lady's authority in the Lin family could be said to be faintly inferior to the old master.

However, the fifth aunt didn't say anything to refute at the moment. She knew that she couldn't say anything in front of the old man, and she had to rely on Chu Jiang in the end.

"What do you think?" The old man looked at Xu Lan.

Fifth Aunt was a little surprised, but she still nodded and said: "All according to the old man's orders."

"Then go, tomorrow."

"Yes." The Fifth Aunt agreed graciously, she knew very well that now was not the time to make a scene, it would only leave a bad impression on the old man.

As long as Chu Jiang is still in this "world", then Xu Lan believes that she still has a chance.

Chapter 170: The Mind Power of All Beings

The following birthday banquet was going on as usual, and since Lin Mohua and the eldest lady opened up the topic, the rest of the Lin family also carefully exchanged a few words with the old lady.

The old man seemed to be in a good mood today. The juniors had requests, as long as they were not excessive, he agreed to most of them.

However, it is worth mentioning that there was no dialogue between the old man and Chu Jiang.

After the birthday banquet was over and the young masters sent the guests away, the old man got up and looked at Chu Jiang, "Follow me."

Chu Jiang nodded. He carried a heavy coffin and walked behind the old man step by step.

During this process, other members of the Lin family were obviously also paying attention to this scene. They had already realized that there was a tacit understanding between the old man and Chu Jiang, and they should have some special topics to discuss in private.

Of course, given them a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to eavesdrop, because they couldn't hide from the old man's perception.

Seeing Chu Jiang walking by, Fifth Aunt gave him a pleading look. If the eldest lady hadn't been staring at him, she would have hugged Chu Jiang's arm.

On the one hand, Lin Mohua was very annoyed by Fifth Aunt's actions; on the other hand, she was a little worried when she watched Chu Jiang leave, so she just stepped forward and held his hand.

"Don't go, okay?" She also had a pleading tone.

Chu Jiang just smiled and pulled out his hand, "I'll be back soon."

After speaking, he quickly caught up with the old man.

Just like that, all the wives, aunts, young masters, and ladies of the Lin family watched Chu Jiang and the old man walk into the depths of the Lin mansion with a special emotion...

-------------------------------

The old man did not take Chu Jiang back to the courtyard where he usually lived, but walked slightly staggeringly into an empty side room.

As the two entered, the door of the side room automatically closed with a creak.

When he came to sit down at the table in the room, the old man seemed to be much more tired than when he was outside, and in Chu Jiang's eyes, he seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden.

"Sit down, if you want to ask anything, just ask, I will say what I can say."

Chu Jiang sat down with the coffin on his back, "Is this your ghost domain? Are you still alive?"

"Well, as for me, I've already died; I'm a human, not a god, so I can't live for 200 years."

This made Chu Jiang more cautious, "Then you are a ghost?"

"Ghost..." The old man showed a hint of confusion, "Maybe, I don't know whether my current existence is a human or a ghost."

"Just one thing I can be sure of, this state cannot be maintained forever."

"On the one hand, I'm tired. I don't know when my human nature will be swallowed up by ghost nature;

"I reckon that within two or thirty years, I will completely lose my mind and turn into a ghost."

"Of course, if the outside situation continues to deteriorate, all descendants of the Lin family will die, and no one will come to the ancestral hall to worship, then within a year or two, the cycle and order I built will completely collapse."

"At that time, this place will become the scariest and most dangerous area within a radius of thousands of miles, and countless ghosts will escape from here."

"In the case of the night walk of the ghosts, the rules of killing are not so important, because countless rules are superimposed, and you may be killed even if you move or blink your eyelids."

Hearing this, Chu Jiang felt a little heavy. Is it really related to incense?But he didn't expect that even the insincerity of the person who offered the incense and paper would have an impact on the old man's side.

Think about it too, using the power of incense to maintain human nature is essentially relying on the power of sentient beings, not just a few ordinary sticks of incense or ordinary pieces of paper.

If the worshipers don't believe in these ancestor spirits at all in their hearts, then naturally they don't have much thought power.

This is also inevitable with the continuous development of modernization.

"That is to say, if the descendants of the Lin family and I hadn't called for your help before, you would have done it, wouldn't you?"

After all, if he did not act, all descendants of the Lin family in Luohe City would die, and it is estimated that not many people would come to worship in the future.

The old man shook his head slightly, "The number of ghosts that can be accommodated, sealed, and suppressed by Lin's ancestral hall has already reached the upper limit. Even with my hard work, I barely managed to maintain this balance of walking on thin ice and hanging by a thread."

"This balance is very fragile, so when the black sun was raging outside, I didn't act immediately."

"Because if I catch that ghost in, it may break this balance."

"But later, those few deafening words of yours made me, an old man, recall some of the past."

"In addition to the calls for help from the descendants of the Lin family, I still took action."

"After that, on the one hand, I suppressed the black sun and temporarily stopped sealing it underground; on the other hand, I threw you into the Lin family's compound and let you live here for a few days."

"Do you know why?"

Chu Jiang nodded, "You want me to experience for myself what is going on here, which is more useful than explaining it directly. I promise you that I will never introduce ghosts here again."

The old man waved his hand, "Not only that, although I have been staying in this ancestral hall, I am not completely ignorant of things outside."

"It's impossible for me to persist in this situation. If possible, I want to hand it over to you to take over in the future, and let you shoulder this responsibility."

"Of course, this is not compulsory. You have no obligation to take this burden for me, a dead man."

"Even now is not the time. If you can't grow up in the future and die halfway, then there is no such thing. Now it's just to say something in advance."

Chu Jiang thought for a while, "I..."

The old man raised his hand, "Don't give me the answer now, it doesn't make any sense. When you have the ability in the future, whether you accept it or refuse it, I can accept it with pleasure."

Chu Jiang nodded, "I wonder if you know the existence of the No. 21 Research Institute? Maybe it will be better for you to share this pressure with the Research Institute."

The old man shook his head, "I don't trust them. You can call me old and stubborn, but in our time, there were similar large organizations both at home and abroad."

"As long as there are more people, the unpredictability of the human heart is even more terrifying than ghosts. Sometimes some people can sacrifice a lot of things for their own benefit. I have seen too many examples."

"So I have been observing you for the past few days. At least for now, I think your character is still qualified."

"In the future, if we are really in a desperate situation, for the sake of the common people, I may hand over the Lin's ancestral hall to some research institute. But before that, if there is a choice, I will not do so."

Chu Jiang remained silent and did not try to persuade him.

One is that the old man has experienced too many things, and it is normal for him to have his own judgment and thoughts.

The other is that Chu Jiang's understanding of the research institute is only superficial.He was not sure that handing over the Lin's ancestral hall to the research institute would be a better choice.

Chapter 170 IX Resurrection of the Dead

"The people of the Lin family, what state are they in now? Are they dead or alive, human or ghost?"

This question was one of the biggest doubts that Chu Jiang had after entering this ghost domain.

"Dead man, the state is similar to mine." When the old man mentioned this, his voice became more depressed.

"Then why would they..."

Before Chu Jiang finished speaking, the old man waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to ask."

"In an extremely dangerous supernatural event that year, our Lin family died, including everyone you've met before. Only I survived."

When the old man talked about it, although he didn't have any obvious mood swings, Chu Jiang could imagine how sad he must have been at the beginning. The whole family of more than a dozen people died cleanly.

"After they died, I wanted to go against the sky and resurrect them."

"And our Luohe Lin family, the ghosts accumulated over the past few hundred years have also reached a limit, and the previous sealing measures have become weaker and weaker."

"So I thought, just take this opportunity and implement a long-standing idea."

"This idea starts with the method of [Using the power of incense to maintain humanity]."

"I believe you are also very clear that all living ghost masters are facing the hidden danger of being corrupted by ghosts and gradually recovering from ghosts in their bodies."

"This can be regarded as an eternal problem. No matter what kind of spiritual recovery it is, it is bothering the group of ghost masters."

"From ancient times to the present, there have been many amazing and talented ghost masters who have created a path to solve this hidden danger. For example, what you are using now is to use multiple ghosts to form a balance in the body."

"However, from ancient times to the present, there is no single path that is the fundamental solution. It is nothing more than different advantages and disadvantages."

"I won't talk about the method I used during my lifetime. It's not much better than the method of your era, so don't mislead you."

"What I'm talking about is the method I use after death."
