Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2511 Stripes

Tie Wandao glanced at the brown paper with four missing corners and said, "Then it was like it was really burning, and all four corners were burned off?"

Li Pingrun said: "After it turned into that color, it only took a moment for the four corners to disappear."

"And then what?" Tie Wandao asked.

"After the four corners disappeared, the entire painting turned into the brown color it is now in a short while."

Tie Wandao asked: "You see this color is brown?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "There are some white stripes on it."

After hearing "Yes", Tie Wandao was about to say that Li Pingrun finally had the same color as what they saw. However, before he could say it, he heard him say that there were also white stripes, so he thought: Is it still different?
Tie Wandao asked Tie Jinjue: "Do you see any white stripes on this paper?"

"No." Tie Jinjue replied.

Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun, "I didn't see anything. It seems that what you see is different from what we see. When you look at those white papers, do they feel the same as the white papers you usually see in the past?"

"Same." Li Pingrun said.

"Why do you think you can see white stripes on this brown paper?" Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun.

Li Pingrun said, "Maybe the white stripes I saw are related to the fact that I once drew on this piece of paper? Elder Tie changed his drawing, which is not the same as mine."

Tie Wandao asked: "Do you think the white stripes you see are from the paper itself?"

Li Pingrun said, "Since what I see is different from what others see, and others cannot see the white stripes but I can, then I feel that the white stripes should not be on the paper itself. I should see the same things around me as others do. After all, when I came to Bakong Palace, I didn't feel that the things in the palace were any different from what I saw before. The appearance of the paper itself is also the same as what I saw before. What I see differently from others should be the content of the painting, so I think that the white stripes should be the content of the painting."

Tie Wandao asked: "Did you draw the white stripes?" "No," said Li Pingrun.

"Then this white stripe is the content of the painting where I appear?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"It should be." Li Pingrun replied.

Tie Wandao asked again: "Recall, before the stripes appeared, besides what I just said, did you see any other strange scenes on this piece of paper?"

Li Pingjun thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Oh, just after the four corners disappeared and before the paper turned brown, I vaguely saw a few white pillars. Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that the white stripes on the brown paper are like a few white pillars."

"Bai Zhu? What does he look like? Tell me in detail." Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun then gave a further description based on his impression.

Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun: "Have you ever seen a white pillar like that before?"

Li Pingrun shook his head and said, "I have no impression of it at all. I guess I have never seen it. The strange thing is that I felt at that time that this thing seemed to really exist."

Tie Wandao looked at Tie Jinjue.

Tie Jinjue said: "I really want to know as soon as possible where he went when he got lost before."

"Do you think the white pillar he saw was related to that place?" Tie Wandao asked.

Tie Jinjue said: "I think that's possible. I think his condition might have something to do with the place he passed by when he got lost."
