Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1772 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy-Two) Strange

After some alchemists entered, they felt that the atmosphere in the gray house was weird and gloomy, which made people feel uncomfortable. In addition to the fact that the gray house itself makes people feel uncomfortable, one of the reasons why the alchemists had such a feeling was that they were cursed.

Those who knew magic would feel strange after being cursed. When they felt something was wrong, they would secretly use some methods to try to see if there was anything wrong. After trying, some of the alchemists knew that they had been cursed the moment they entered the Gray House. Since they knew that the Gray House was cursed by Hou Jizhuan, the alchemists who knew that they were cursed knew that this was equivalent to Hou Jizhuan cursing them.

The alchemists who knew they were cursed as soon as they entered the Gray House were not incomprehensible. After all, entering the Gray House to perform rituals was not convenient for others to know. If it was spread out, it might cause a big disaster. They needed to keep it secret. What they were most dissatisfied about was that no one told them that they would be cursed when they entered the Gray House, and the curse was related to their lives. They felt obviously offended.

Those alchemists who had not secretly tried to see if there was anything wrong before also started to secretly try after hearing what the two alchemists said. Soon, all the other alchemists knew that they had been cursed.

Several other sorcerers said that they had indeed been cursed when they entered.

Hou Jizhuan whispered: "It's not that I don't want to tell you in advance, it's..." He wanted to say "The clan leader didn't let me tell you", but he didn't dare to say it.

"What is it?" asked the Taoist priest who had previously asked Hou Jizhuan why he did not directly tell them that they would be cursed when they entered.

Hou Jizhuan glanced at the clan leader but did not move his head, hoping to let the other alchemists know that it was the clan leader who did not allow him to tell the alchemists in advance. At that time, Tie Wandao was not close to Hou Jizhuan, so Hou Jizhuan only looked at Tie Wandao and would not be discovered by Tie Wandao.

The Taoist priest said, "You mean, you wanted to tell us in advance, but..." He didn't dare to say the word "chief". When he said this, he glanced at Tie Wandao without turning his head, and then said, "You were not allowed to tell us?"

"Yes, yes! That's it!" Hou Jizhuan said, "As a fellow alchemist, I understand this, but... since... you don't allow me to tell you, I certainly don't dare to say it."

"Is it true?" asked the Taoist priest.

"Who knows if it's true?" said another alchemist.

A scholar said, "We really need to let the clan leader know about this."

Hou Jizhuan asked: "What I said is true, don't you believe me?"

"I can't believe you just because you say that! We have been cursed without knowing it, and it is related to our lives. Who can bear it?" The Taoist priest who had asked Hou Jizhuan why he didn't tell them directly that they would be cursed when they came in asked again.

Hou Jizhuan said: "What I said is true. If it is not the case, how dare I push this matter onto..." At this point, Hou Jizhuan glanced at Tie Wandao again without turning his head, and continued: "How dare I push this matter onto... onto him!"
