Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1211 Secret Skill

At this time, the sound of rain outside became a little quieter.

Tie Wandao thought, maybe even if he suddenly said that he didn't think he shouldn't hurt Hongyan, he should be able to light the other candles, and they wouldn't go out right after they were lit. Thinking about it, he decided to give it a try out of curiosity, but he didn't dare to finish his words, so he said quickly and quietly: "I don't think so in my heart."

As he spoke, he lit another candle, which he did not put out.

He wanted to try to say it all over again to see what would happen, but suddenly he heard another thunderclap. He felt there was no need to say it out loud, so he didn't.

Next, he lit other candles, and they all lit up at once and never went out.

[Chapter 174]

Before, the candles in the room where Tie Wandao was would suddenly go out, and the candles he had just lit would go out in an instant. All of this was related to the fact that a sorcerer was performing rituals in a basement room in Tiecang Court.

In the basement, a bearded man was sitting cross-legged on a large rock.

A gray-haired Taoist priest named Rao Yanqiao was sitting three feet away from the boulder.

A round piece of gold foil was spread on the ground between the two people, and in the center of the gold foil was a golden incense burner with three yellow incense sticks inserted in it.

There were seven golden candlesticks surrounding the golden incense burner, and each candlestick had a red candle.

There was no thunder or rain when Rao Yanqiao began to perform the ritual. In fact, not only did the bearded man not expect thunder and rain that day, but even Rao Yanqiao did not expect it. Long before Tie Wandao arrived at Tie Jinqi's spirit tablet, the alchemist in the basement had already lit three incense sticks and seven red candles, chanting spells and performing rituals for the bearded man.

The reason why the bearded man asked the Taoist priest to perform a ritual for him was that he felt unwell after practicing a martial art called "Mingzun Juelu Secret Skill".

He consulted several doctors who could not find the cause. He also consulted two alchemists, who also thought that his symptoms might be related to the martial arts he practiced. When asked what martial arts he practiced, he refused to tell the truth to the two alchemists, so the alchemists did not know how to solve his problem.

The bearded man had known this alchemist named Rao Yanqiao before. A few years ago, this person went to a faraway place. The bearded man knew that he had great magical powers and wanted to know if he had returned, so he sent people to look for him, and they really found him.

When Rao Yanqiao saw the bearded man, he didn't tell her what martial arts he was practicing, but just said that he was feeling unwell. Rao Yanqiao showed him through some magic and then asked him if he had ever practiced the Mingzun Juelu secret skill.

Even though Rao Yanqiao was an old acquaintance of his, the fact that he was practicing this martial art was a secret, so he naturally didn't want to tell anyone about it.

Rao Yanqiao did not force him, but just told him that if his symptoms were really caused by practicing this kind of martial arts, he needed to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise his life might be in danger. Rao Yanqiao also said that he had never heard of anyone other than him who could cure such symptoms.

When the bearded man heard that the problem was so serious, he did not let Rao Yanqiao leave directly, but decided to tell him and asked him to keep it absolutely confidential.

After Rao Yanqiao agreed, he told the bearded man that he would solve his physical problem through a ritual. However, performing a ritual for someone who practiced this kind of martial arts would bring disaster upon himself, so even if he was very familiar with the person, he would only do this if the other party paid a high price.
