Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1795 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-Five) Hypocrisy

Hou Jizhuan replied: "Yes, Chief. I will complete the task well and ensure that there will be no more problems in the Gray House!"

Tie Wandao asked the alchemists, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The alchemists looked at each other, and one of them asked Tie Wandao: "We are cursed, and we can't get rid of it. I wonder if Master Hou can help us get rid of it?"

Tie Wandao certainly didn't want Hou Jizhuan to break the curse. Those alchemists who were cursed would naturally make Tie Wandao feel safer.

However, in order to prevent the alchemists from suspecting that he had prevented Hou Jizhu from telling them in advance that they would be cursed after entering the gray house, Tie Wandao did not reveal his true thoughts.

Tie Wandao said to the Taoist priests, "I'll ask for you." Then, he glared at Hou Jizhuan fiercely and said, "Hou Jizhuan, look at what you have done! Tell me now, can you solve it?"

Hou Jizhuan said: "It cannot be solved."

Tie Wandao said: "Take another look, think about it again, is there really no solution at all?"

Hou Jizhuan said "yes" and walked towards the door of the gray house, saying as he walked: "Although I think there is no solution at all, but the clan leader asked me to take another look and think about it, so I will take another look and think about it."

Hou Jizhuan walked to the door of the gray house and pretended to observe carefully and think of a solution. He was really angry at the time, thinking: The clan leader pushed all the things he asked me to do onto me, and said look at what I did. The clan leader's acting in front of those alchemists was really good! He also asked me to take a look and think about it again. He was so hypocritical. I guess he was used to telling lies and pushing his own things onto others, and acted like it was real! Looking at the clan leader's eyes at this moment, thinking about what the clan leader said to me before, I naturally knew that no matter whether this curse can be solved or not, the clan leader obviously wanted me to say that it cannot be solved. If I can solve it, and I really solve it, I don't know how the clan leader will deal with me! With the clan leader treating me like this, I really want to say that I can solve it now, and then solve the curse for them, and see how the clan leader can continue to pretend in front of them. If I vent my anger like this without caring about the consequences and not caring about my life, I guess it will be very satisfying. However, once this curse is cast, there is no solution at all! The clan leader knew that this curse could not be resolved. He asked me to do this when I was performing a ritual for the Gray House. He told me that he would let me make the Gray House a place where anyone who entered would be cursed. He emphasized to me over and over again that I had to cast a curse that could not be resolved. Later, he confirmed with me more than once whether the curse could not be resolved. How could he not know? Even if someone had a bad memory, he would remember it after repeatedly asking and hearing my answers. What's more, the clan leader had a good memory. He clearly knew that the curse he asked me to cast could not be resolved, but he still deliberately asked me if I could resolve it, pretending to be so in front of the Taoist priests so that they would think that he did not forbid me to tell them in advance that they would be cursed after entering the Gray House. This was really infuriating!
Hou Jizhuan looked at the door of the gray house and even tried a spell, showing that he was very serious. Then, he walked back to Tie Wandao and said, "Patriarch, once this curse is cast, it cannot be broken."

Tie Wandao sighed and said, "This kind of thing...really...how could it be like this!"
