Chapter 333: Remaking Black Sun
"Sky Observing Ghost Mirror?" When Chu Jiang heard the new term spoken by the old gentleman, he became interested and asked eagerly, "Do you know its origin?"
"I know a little bit about it. This thing is the masterpiece of a previous Ghost Master, claiming to be able to observe all the sceneries of the heavens." The old gentleman fell into thought.
"But in the end, that Ghost Master didn’t have a good ending. He should have indirectly died in the hands of this mirror."
Speaking of which, the old man told Chu Jiang a story that happened many years ago.
About four hundred years ago, there was a renowned Ghost Master known as the Sky Leader. He was requested by someone to go to the Sichuan region and subdue a troublesome ghost.
The process of subduing was difficult, but in the end, it was successful.
This ghost had a unique ability – it could see scenes from anywhere in the world.
What’s even more incredible is that it could not only see the present, but also scenes from the past.
This means that when you control this ghost, you can know everything that happened in the present and the past, although there’s no sound, only visuals.
Inside Sky Leader’s body, there was no room for any ghost, so he chose to turn this ghost into a seal, which is a bronze mirror.
After this mirror was cast, Sky Leader became very popular. Countless people came to ask to borrow the Sky Observing Ghost Mirror and offered tempting rewards.
However, Sky Leader refused to see anyone. Three days later, someone broke into his home and found Sky Leader dead in front of the bronze mirror…
Although nobody knows how Sky Leader died, the people at the scene quickly started fighting over who should own the Ghost Mirror.
After the chaos, the Ghost Mirror disappeared without a trace, no one knows who took it.
About three years later, the Ghost Mirror reappeared in front of the world. But whoever came into possession of the mirror either died mysteriously or cursed it and secretly passed it on to the next person.
People soon realized that this Ghost Mirror was very unreliable and had terrifying negative effects.
Simply put, the user couldn’t see the scenes they wanted to see at will. The images in the mirror were not necessarily real, but a mixture of truth and deception.
Finally, the mirror still had the instinct to kill. It took pleasure in tricking and killing its owner. Most people who tried to get information from it ended up being disappointed.
Therefore, after gaining fame, the Ghost Mirror quickly lost its popularity and no one paid attention to its whereabouts anymore.
Since then, with each wave of supernatural revival, the Ghost Mirror would be dug up by someone, only to be quickly buried again.
Even when the old grandfather was young, he personally saw this mirror. Back then, it was in the hands of a warlord during the Republic of China era…
Chu Jiang finished listening and smiled sadly. He thought, maybe the old man might know how to control the Ghost Mirror.
But it turned out that the old man wasn’t all-powerful, and he couldn’t grant any wish. And according to this description, it seemed like no one could make the Ghost Mirror obey them.
It’s worth mentioning that while the two were talking, Chu Jiang’s thumb had already grown back.
This was because he had used some of his supernatural power, otherwise he could have healed this small injury in less than a second.
"I got it from the storage room of Research Institute No. 21, to be precise, there was also an element of it tempting me," Chu Jiang confessed truthfully.
The old man probably understood Chu Jiang’s thoughts. "Do you want to use it to find out about your origins?"
"Yes, after I left here, I also had contact with the Chu Mei lineage of people and gained some basic understanding of the Chu family, but the Chu family is now completely missing…" Chu Jiang roughly described his experience.
The old man was also puzzled after listening. "Maybe Chu’s Jiang shouldn’t exist?"
"I don’t understand, but I also don’t recommend using the Ghost Mirror to find clues; it’s better if it doesn’t show you anything, because once it does, you could easily be misled onto a dead end."
Chu Jiang frowned, "So, can this thing really only be hidden away?"
"At the moment, that seems to be the case. People in the past have tried to remove the ghosts from inside, but they all failed."
Chu Jiang thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Are the ghosts inside the Ghost Mirror also conscious beings?"
"Hmm…," the old man pondered for a moment, "I can only say maybe, I’m not certain."
"By the way, when you mentioned it seduced you, did it deliberately show you images you are interested in?"
"Yes," Chu Jiang nodded.
"Since the Ghost Mirror tempted you to bring it out, yet it didn’t immediately show you harmful images, it might have some interest in you. You can keep it for now, but be cautious and don’t trust it easily."
Chu Jiang agreed, and only then did he realize that it was abnormal for the Ghost Mirror not to harm him.
After taking one last look at the silent Ghost Mirror, Chu Jiang decided to put it away for the time being.
Then, Chu Jiang didn’t ask about the family graveyard, since Grandpa definitely didn’t know where it was. He just asked about the White Tiger.
The answer he got was similar to what Chu Jiang already knew, it was related to the White Tiger Family, the Ghost Master family.
As for the specifics, when Grandpa was still active, he didn’t have much contact with that place, which was why he let Chu Jiang explore it on his own last time.
Finally, Chu Jiang asked about the concept of the real world, which was crucial for the revival of the supernatural. He couldn’t help but care about it.
Grandpa wasn’t sure if there was another dimension beyond the world they were in, but surprisingly, he knew some information about the mysterious bell that Chu Jiang mentioned.
"Do you remember what I told you last time? The path I’m following in the incense burning is a method I obtained from an ancient book."
"There are actually many things recorded in it, and one of them is something called the Two Realms Bell."
"It is rumored to be able to connect the two worlds: The earthly realm and the underworld. This mysterious treasure can even help those who have mistakenly entered the underworld return to their original earthly realm."
"Of course, I only see it as something supernatural, just a slightly special seal, and its effects may be exaggerated."
"The Bell of Two Realms…" Chu Jiang murmured the words, wondering if it was the sound he and Zhang Haoran had heard back at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School. Could it be the ringing of the Two Realms Bell?
If it was, this thing could very well be the key to ending the supernatural revival. Chu Jiang made a firm decision to follow the trail of the bell and the traces of Slender Man, after taking care of everything else that needed his attention…
After discussing for a while and trying to control the power of the Black Sun, the two of them were finally ready to begin.
The old man didn’t alert anyone else in the Lin family, instead he led Chu Jiang to the deepest part of the courtyard.
This time, Chu Jiang didn’t hear the old lady’s eerie cough anymore. He didn’t ask too much about it, after all, it was the old man’s family matter.
Upon arriving here, the old man simply tapped the ground with his cane.
With a "swoosh" sound, a mass of black mist chains, like countless entangled black snakes, slowly emerged from the ground.
The old man grabbed the chain mass with his left hand and pulled it towards himself, then he raised his cane with a serious expression.
Taking a deep breath, the old man fiercely whipped the chain mass with his cane, as if he was determined to give it his all.
In the moment when the cane struck, the trapped Black Sun seemed to instinctively sense the impending danger, and a black fiery wheel suddenly expanded the black mist chain by one circle!
Chu Jiang even saw the black flames spilling out from between the links of the chain, but with a loud "snap!", the old man’s cane still struck the chain cluster.
The power of this strike was terrifying. It not only deflated the chain cluster and shattered the black fiery wheel, but it also seemed to damage Black Sun’s internal structure.
At the same time, Chu Jiang noticed gazes from all around the Lin family mansion, even the coffin of the Lin family patriarch displayed in the main hall was restlessly moving.
This reminded Chu Jiang of what the old man had said – while inside the Lin Ancestral Hall, he could freely borrow the power of everyone in the Lin family.
That’s why the old man was able to easily seal Black Sun during their last encounter.
After all, the Lin family consisted of more than a dozen people, each with multiple ghosts residing within them, not to mention an unfathomable old lady.
Finally, the interior of the Lin Ancestral Hall was equivalent to the old man’s Ghost Domain, where he could concentrate everyone’s power to a single point without wasting even the tiniest bit. His efforts were remarkably precise.
Of course, even so, Lin Daosheng was also one of the strongest Ghost Masters that Chu Jiang had ever seen.
As for the current situation, it seems that the other members of the Lin family have noticed the old master borrowing power. After all, the old master has already confronted them and they are no longer in a confused state as before.
However, no one dares to approach the courtyard rashly. All the members of the Lin family are just wondering what the old master is doing. He actually used all his strength in an instant.
Among them, Lin Mohua and Fifth Aunt are the most perceptive. Recently, there has been a lot of spiritual activity outside. Normally, the old master wouldn’t be able to suppress the ghosts in the ancestral hall. Could it be that man has returned…
In the courtyard, Black Sun trapped in the dark mist chains naturally can’t be killed by this attack. Ghosts don’t die.
However, inside the chain, it seems that Black Sun’s form has been shattered, and now it is in the process of reformation, along with the core and the fiery wheel.
The recovery ability of an S-class ghost is incredibly abnormal. Even if completely shattered with one blow, a new form can be reshaped in less than a minute.
The old master slightly closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then nodded gently. "The result is acceptable, just as I expected. What has reformed is not that black-haired youth, but the pure sun itself."
"Of course, if left unattended, Black Sun will attempt to simulate the growth process of humans again."
"So we can’t waste time, you should start now."
When Chu Jiang saw the old man open his eyes and look at him, he nodded seriously.
