Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2138 Losing Life

Just as Li Pingrun said this, a bug crawled near the two men's feet. This time Tie Wandao stepped back again and pulled Li Pingrun back at the same time.

Li Pingrun looked down and thought: I was just talking about something related to it and it appeared.

Both of them stepped back, and the insect changed direction and crawled towards the hole where the mat had been placed.

Li Pingrun went on to say, "Later, strange problems occurred near the Soul-Gathering Talismans of the five powerful men. It was said that someone cast a spell on them. Three of the powerful men had accompanying insects appearing next to their Soul-Gathering Talismans, and two of them had no trace of accompanying insects. Later, an alchemist discovered that all the relics that had been placed underground near the Soul-Gathering Talismans of the three powerful men with accompanying insects disappeared. It was said that there were important things in the relics of the three powerful men, and they were stolen by unimaginable means. However, there had never been accompanying insects near the Soul-Gathering Talismans of the two powerful men whose underground relics were not stolen. At that time, some alchemists believed that accompanying insects would appear where the Soul-Gathering Talisman was set, and that something had gone wrong near the Soul-Gathering Talisman, but there was no place for the deceased's relics underground near the Soul-Gathering Talisman. Later, some other things happened, all of which confirmed this point."

Tie Wandao said: "I see."

He thought of Gong Hunyu above the Muxi Pavilion and said, "People who are alchemists must undergo the Huanshi before learning magic. If someone who has undergone the Huanshi were to perform magic on Gong Hunyu embedded in the Muxi Pavilion under the current circumstances, he would probably be killed on the spot. Even if he could survive, he would be seriously injured in a short period of time, and the magic he had practiced before would definitely be useless after the magic was performed. If it is so dangerous, then why would someone who performed magic on Gong Hunyu do this?"

"I can't know the specific reasons before I go into the Muxi Pavilion to perform the ritual. In fact, even if I go in to perform the ritual, I may not be able to understand the reasons." Li Pingrun said, "No matter how dangerous the task is, a Taoist priest may do it. I have heard before that a Taoist priest used a ritual to cause Gong Hunyu in a certain place to be dislocated. The Taoist priest died at that time. The strange thing is that his son, who was also a Taoist priest, improved his magic skills very quickly in a short period of time. Later, some Taoist priests found the son of the Taoist priest who lost his life and asked him the reason. The son of the Taoist priest who lost his life just said that he practiced magic hard. Other Taoist priests asked how he practiced, but they never got the answer. An Taoist priest who was particularly tall speculated on the possible circumstances that might cause Gong Hunyu to be dislocated, but he didn't dare to try it himself, so I don’t know if it is true or not. The tall alchemist told other alchemists what he had speculated and discussed it with them. However, the other alchemists felt that the tall alchemist’s speculation made no sense and didn’t believe it. The tall alchemist went to find the son of the life-losing alchemist, hoping to learn about the situation from him. However, as soon as he got there, he heard that the son of the life-losing alchemist had died the day before while using magic. Later, some alchemists believed that the reason why the son of the life-losing alchemist, who had caused a Gonghunyu to be dislocated through magic, died while performing the magic might be related to the fact that his magic had suddenly improved very quickly in a short period of time, and the fact that his magic had suddenly improved very quickly in a short period of time might be related to the fact that his father had once dislocated a Gonghunyu.”
