Chapter 166: The Whole Family Are Ghosts
Soon, the maid brought the clothes.
When Lin Mohua saw this, she went outside to wait.
Chu Jiang changed into a white suit and waistcoat, not a long robe. During this time, western fashion was popular, and many young people liked to wear trendy clothes to show off.
It seemed to be the preference of that young lady.
As soon as Chu Jiang came out of the room, Lin Mohua said, "How about accompanying me on a trip? You should also pick a birthday gift."
"Not now, I have a question. Where did you find me? Did you see a book with a black cover near me?"
"Just as I was about to take a walk outside, I saw you lying on the street, with people pointing at you. That’s when I brought you back," Lin Mohua said calmly.
"As for the black book, I didn’t see it, and it’s unlikely that someone would have taken it. I asked the crowd of onlookers, and they all said you fell from the sky without anything else around you."
Most likely, it was taken by the old man. Does he want to study it?
Considering that this is probably in the old man’s Ghost Domain, Chu Jiang is not in a hurry to retrieve it. Let’s wait until he sees the other person.
"Alright, show me around." Taking this opportunity, Chu Jiang wanted to understand this Ghost Domain better.
It seems like many people live here, and Lin Mohua doesn’t seem to think that this is a closed little world. Could this Ghost Domain be terribly big…?
And so, Lin Mohua took Chu Jiang out of the room and walked towards the entrance of the Lin family mansion.
This place has a very large area, with seven main buildings; including the entrance gate, a screen wall, a mirrored room, a hanging flower gate, a gallery with handrails, an east wing room, a west wing room, a courtyard, an ear room, a main house, and a back room. There are all kinds of buildings here.
Chu Jiang, like Liu Laoliu entering the grand garden, looked around at the scenery while asking Lin Mohua some questions.
Including who are the people in the Lin family and what is the name of this town…
Lin Mohua is always ready to answer common knowledge questions.
The head of the Lin family is naturally the old grandfather, he is a very special person, and both the black and white worlds in the country have to give him face.
However, the old grandfather has grown old and no longer ventures out like he did in his early years. He usually stays in his own small courtyard and doesn’t see visitors.
The old grandfather’s wife, everyone calls her the old lady. The old lady has been bedridden with a chronic illness for many years and generally doesn’t see people.
The old grandfather’s only son, who is also Lin Mohua’s father, is known to everyone as the lord.
But the lord has passed away and for some special reasons, he has not been buried. His body is temporarily placed in a coffin, located in the main hall of the Lin family.
The lord had five wives in his lifetime, namely Madam, Second Madam, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, and Fifth Aunt.
Lin Mohua is the daughter of Madam, and she also has a brother.
Second Madam has two sons, namely the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master.
Third Aunt has a son and a daughter, namely the Second Young Lady and the Fourth Young Master.
Fourth Aunt has a son, who is called Fifth Young Master.
Fifth Aunt is still quite young. Shortly after getting married, her husband passed away, so she doesn’t have any children.
When introducing these people, Lin Mohua asked Chu Jiang to stay away from them as much as possible.
It is said that they behave differently from ordinary people due to the influence of ghosts, being easily angered and impulsive. It is better to have less contact with them to avoid unnecessary friction and conflicts.
This truly shocked Chu Jiang. This entire family, from top to bottom, are all Ghost Masters? They all have ghosts inside their bodies??
Lin Mohua found Chu Jiang’s reaction quite strange. "It’s one thing for ordinary people not to know, but as a Ghost Master, you don’t even know about this? We, the Luohe Lin Family, who exorcise evil spirits, still have some reputation in the country, right?"
Lin Mohua’s words reminded Chu Jiang of an article he had read on a paranormal website, about the revival of the supernatural.
The author mentioned that the last global revival of the supernatural, in terms of time, was not very far from modern times.
During the Republican era in China, which corresponds to the same period worldwide, it was during the World War I and II when the whole world experienced a small-scale revival of the supernatural.
The writer of the paper guessed that the previous recovery was just the beginning of this modern one. It happened because of the world situation being unstable, with frequent wars and a lot of bloodshed, which led to the early start of a supernatural recovery.
But the impact of that previous recovery was not as big as this modern one. As the large and small wars around the world gradually ended, the world situation became stable again, and the supernatural recovery was gradually suppressed.
However, this modern recovery is not as simple as before, it is the true beginning of a comprehensive recovery. So, if this supernatural recovery cannot be resolved, the destruction of the world is definitely not a joking matter.
If the speculation in this paper is true, then during the Republic of China period, there was already a group of well-established Ghost Masters, which is not impossible.
These Ghost Masters even formed families and factions, just like warlords in different regions.
No, even the warlords have to respect these people, after all, guns and cannons can’t deal with ghosts. When they encounter supernatural events, they can only ask these Ghost Master families for help.
Many of the modern Ghost Masters actually possess seals left behind by the Ghost Masters from the Republic of China period. As for seals from an even earlier period, there are not many due to the distant time of the previous supernatural recovery.
Chu Jiang discovered that, unintentionally, he had gained knowledge of many secrets.
Have these Ghost Master families been buried in history until the present day? Does Research Institute No. 21 have any information on this? It’s just that his authority is not enough to access it.
By the way, Lin Daosheng’s Ghost Master family was probably quite prominent during the Republican era, but in modern times, they didn’t even leave behind a single Ghost Master?
Even his direct descendants are only one family left, and they are all ordinary people. They know nothing about their ancestors’ affairs, and even mistake Lin Daosheng for a local wealthy landowner who is generous and kind.
Is this because they couldn’t stay or because the old master didn’t want future generations to bear the burden of such a fate…?
After all, becoming a Ghost Master, especially when the whole family becomes Ghost Masters, is not a good thing.
Chu Jiang has experienced the feeling of a sudden change in nature, and even now, he is still being continuously influenced. Not to mention, Ghost Masters have to endure the pain of being tormented by ghosts day and night…
Thinking of this, Chu Jiang suddenly realized that the uniqueness of his body seems to come not from the Ghost Diary, but from his bloodline itself, and even from the name Chu Jiang.
So, is it possible that the Chu family was also a very special Ghost Master family during the Republican era?
Therefore, when Lin Mohua saw him display certain unique characteristics and recognized him as a member of the Chu family, she immediately changed her attitude and started to respect him.
