Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1638 (One Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Eight) Soon

Tie Hongyan asked: "What did my uncle say?"

Tie Jinjue replied: "I just repeated the problems that the clan leader had mentioned before, and induced the clan leader to think that those problems could not be solved at all. I talked about how to arrange the order of the central pavilion and the surrounding pavilions if they were to be built, how long it would take to process the materials, and when it would be completed. After thinking about it, the clan leader said that maybe it was the only way and it could not be rebuilt. He was also worried that if the collapsed part and the unfinished part were left in that place, it would affect the fortune. Later, he decided to find an alchemist to take a look. The clan leader also decided to find someone to find out why the central pavilion collapsed."

"Did he find out why? I also want to know why the central pavilion suddenly collapsed." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue said, "Before I came to see you today, I met with the clan leader again and learned that he had asked someone to find out the general reason. The Seven Washed Sharp Lock Stone used to build the central pavilion now has many holes inside. It can be said that it has become 'crisp'. This is the internal reason. The external reason is the construction of the six surrounding pavilions. The locations of the surrounding pavilions were determined when the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion was designed. As long as they were built according to the original plan, when the materials of the central pavilion have become full of holes, no matter who builds the surrounding pavilions, no matter how careful they are, the central pavilion will be affected and collapse."

Tie Hongyan asked: "Why are there so many holes inside? There must have been no holes when it was built, right?"

Tie Jinjue said: "The clan leader also asked the people who investigated the cause, and they thought that the void appeared later. Although the people who investigated the cause had seen buildings made of sharp lock stones, they had never seen buildings made of seven-wash sharp lock stones. Seven-wash sharp lock stones are related to the magic of the alchemists."

Tie Hongyan said: "Given my father's personality, he will definitely go and ask the Taoist priest soon."

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "The tribe leader told me today that the alchemist who handled the materials for building the surrounding pavilions didn't think there was a problem during the ritual. The alchemist could see that there was a problem during the construction of the central pavilion, but he didn't know what the problem was. The alchemist didn't think it was a problem when the alchemist at that time was handling the sharp lock stone. The alchemist also said that under normal circumstances, the seven-wash sharp lock stone should not have holes no matter how long it is used. The tribe leader asked the alchemist whether the collapsed central pavilion would affect the fortune of the Tiecang tribe. The alchemist performed a ritual and concluded that it would not happen at present. The tribe leader asked whether it would happen in the future, and the alchemist said he couldn't predict it."

Tie Hongyan said: "I guess my father will ask other alchemists."

"You guessed right again." Tie Jinjue said, "The tribe leader didn't wait until another time to do this, and immediately asked other alchemists to take a look. Those alchemists could only say that the collapsed central pavilion would not affect the fortune of the Tiecang tribe at present. As for whether it would have an impact in the future, they all said they couldn't tell. The tribe leader asked them what would happen if they rebuilt it, and they all said that even if they rebuilt it, the situation would be completely different from before, and it would not be good for the Tiecang tribe. The tribe leader also told me that he asked those alchemists whether those things would have an impact on the fortune if they were cleared at different times, and none of those alchemists said they could tell. The tribe leader was a little unhappy about this. After telling me about this today, he said that although those people were alchemists, they couldn't even see this."
