Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1963 (One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty Three) Casting the Net

Nie Huihou still felt confused and asked, "Even if you felt someone lighting incense or candles, how do you know it was definitely the clan leader who lit the incense or candles?"

"Generally speaking, only a limited number of people can go to the spirit tablets of former clan leaders and clan heroes, right? Besides, it doesn't matter whether I have a way of knowing who lit the incense or candles. No matter who lights the incense or candles, I will use magic to create unusual phenomena after the incense or candles are lit. The person who lights the incense or candles may wonder what such phenomena mean. Elder Nie told me before that the clan leader decided to ask the former clan leader and clan heroes today, so it is very likely that the clan leader was present when the incense or candles were lit today." Quan Chumeng said.

Nie Huihou said: "It seems that you are just trying your luck."

"There is an element of luck involved. I made the decision knowing that the clan leader would ask the former clan leader and clan leaders in the afternoon. It's not a random decision. It is somewhat targeted." Quan Chumeng said.

"Then there's no guarantee that what you're doing will have any impact on the clan leader," Nie Huihou said.

"Yes, I really can't guarantee that what I do will have an impact on the clan leader, but if I do nothing, it's definitely better to give it a try. And I think there is a great possibility that what I do will have an impact on the clan leader." Quan Chumeng said.

Nie Huihou asked, "How long will it take you to perform the ritual?"

"In order to make my ritual more likely to work, if you tell me the specific location of the spirit tablets of the former clan leader and clan heroes, I would like to start the ritual from now on and continue until I feel someone lighting incense or candles. During the ritual, I will make unusual phenomena occur in those two locations, and will not continue after the completion." Quan Chumeng said.

Nie Huihou said: "You are just casting a wide net to catch fish. You just keep fishing there and you don't know if you can catch anything."

"I guess so, but before I go fishing I will ask Elder Nie where the fish are. Although I am trying my luck, I am not blindly casting my net." Quan Chumeng said, "I think we should start now. If the clan leader has already been to the spirit tablets of the former clan leader and the spirit tablets of the clan heroes and left, then I won't feel anything even if I keep performing the ritual. If the clan leader hasn't been there yet, or has just gone, it should be in time for me to start now."

Nie Huihou initially thought that Quan Chumeng's method of casting a wide net was meaningless, but now he suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to do so, and he felt that he had wasted some time by asking so many questions. However, given Nie Huihou's personality, if he hadn't asked those questions, he might not have directly agreed to Quan Chumeng's method.

Nie Huihao first warned Quan Chumeng not to tell anyone. After Quan Chumeng agreed, Nie Huihao told Quan Chumeng the location of the former clan leader's spirit tablet and Tie Jinqi's spirit tablet.

After listening to this, Quan Chumeng asked Nie Huihou some more questions, and his questions were very specific.

Nie Huihou told him everything.

Quan Chumeng tried to continue the practice, but at first he felt nothing.

After a while, Quan Chumeng felt that the incense at the location where the spirit tablet of the former patriarch was located, which Nie Huihou told him was located, was lit while he was still performing the ritual. At this time, he began to use another spell, and through the situation of lighting the incense, he realized that the candles there were not lit at that time.
