Chapter 2148 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Forty Eight) Yin Hour

"Can't it be done earlier?" Tie Wandao asked.

"The earliest we can do this is tomorrow morning. If we do it earlier, it will have no effect at all." Li Pingrun replied.

"Didn't you say before that even if a place doesn't need a soul-solidifying talisman, it would be harmless to set one up?" Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun.

"Yes, that's the case under normal circumstances. However, the current situation of performing a ritual on Gong Hunyu is really too rare!" Li Pingrun said.

"If the Gong Hun Talisman is not needed at all in Muxi Pavilion, would removing the Gong Hun Talisman help prevent others from doing bad things to Gong Hunyu in the future?" Tie Wandao asked.

"That's true." Li Pingrun said.

"You told me before that if the Taoist priest wants to perform a ritual to test whether there is a place where the negative emotions of a suicide victim have been transformed into other things at the moment of the suicide's death, the ritual must be performed a long time after the suicide. You also said that as for how long after the suicide the Taoist priest must wait before he can perform the ritual to test whether there is a place where the negative emotions of a suicide victim have been transformed into other things at the moment of the suicide's death, it is different in different situations, and the shortest time to test it is three months later. Are what you said reliable?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Many alchemists have confirmed it in the past and it is reliable," said Li Pingrun.

"If the negative emotions of a suicide person are transformed into other things at the moment of his or her death instead of being transformed into negative energy, will those other things remain at the place of suicide and not leave for many years?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes, those things will never leave, but ordinary people cannot find them, and those things have no effect on ordinary people." Li Pingrun replied.

Tie Wandao continued, "All the suicides in Muxi Pavilion have been dead for so many years. Do you think you can detect whether the negative emotions of the suicides here have been transformed into other things at the moment of their death?"

"I can try it, but I can't do it today." Li Pingrun replied.

"Why?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Because there was singing today." Li Pingrun said. "If there is singing, then it can't be detected?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.

"Yes. If singing appears on a certain day, it can be detected before the singing appears on that day. Once the singing appears during the day, it cannot be detected. If you want to detect it, you have to wait until the next day." Li Pingrun replied.

"Then you can always calculate the time tomorrow, right?" Tie Wandao said.

"It can't be predicted." Li Pingrun said, "This kind of thing must be done at the hour of Yin."

"What will happen if singing suddenly appears when you are taking a test?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Then the test results will be inaccurate, and we can't decide to do something based on such results." Li Pingrun said, "In that case, we can only test again another day."

"This matter is so troublesome!" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said: "Originally it wouldn't be so troublesome, but someone performed a ritual on Gong Hunyu, which made things very difficult to handle."

"I want you to do the test at Yin hour tomorrow, but what if the singing voice appears again before Yin hour tomorrow? Then there will be no way to do the test?" Tie Wandao said.

"Yes. But I think if you really want to test it, there is a way." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao asked: "What method?"

Li Pingrun said, "Just find someone to do something today at midnight."
