Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1768 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Eight)

Hou Jizhuan said, "That's even more dangerous. It's dangerous for the wearer to take it off by himself. If he takes it off by himself when there are more than three Taoist priests performing the ritual at the same time and someone is bleeding in the room, he may lose his life on the spot."

"I heard from another alchemist that even if there is no one performing the ritual, even if it happens to be a specific day, it is still dangerous to take it down by yourself." Tie Wandao asked.

"That's true." Hou Jizhuan said, "If you want to take it down without any negative effects, a specific day is necessary, and a specific alchemist must perform the ritual."

"If there are more than three alchemists performing rituals at the same time, their rituals are related to the gray house. While the alchemists are performing the ritual, someone is bleeding at the scene, and that person stays in the room where the alchemists are performing the ritual for a full half hour after bleeding. However, the person wearing the Chugu Yuan is not in that room. Will the person wearing the Chugu Yuan still be seriously affected?" Tie Wandao asked.

Hou Jizhuan replied: "As long as the person wearing the Chu Gu Yuan is doing something related to the Gray House, no matter if he is in the room where the three or more alchemists are performing the ritual or not, as long as there is someone bleeding in the room and that person stays in the room for half an hour after bleeding, then the person wearing the Chu Gu Yuan will definitely be affected."

"Let's put aside the matter of several alchemists performing rituals. I always torture those human-shaped tools at the scene of your rituals. It is common to see those human-shaped tools bleeding. After bleeding, the human-shaped tools cannot leave the gray house where you perform the ritual. They will definitely stay in the room for half an hour. However, if the human-shaped tools bleed, they can't be considered the kind of bleeding 'people' you mentioned, right?" Tie Wandao asked.

Hou Jizhuan immediately replied: "Those humanoid tools are just tools. Even though they have grown into human form, they cannot be considered human beings."

At this point, Hou Jizhuan thought to himself: I wanted to tell the tribe leader just now, "As long as there are people who are not human-shaped tools bleeding at the scene", but I know that the tribe leader does not regard human-shaped tools as human beings. If I deliberately emphasize "people who are not human-shaped tools", it would be like I think human-shaped tools can also be regarded as human beings. The tribe leader might be unhappy after hearing it. Later, I still said "As long as there are people bleeding at the scene". Now think about it, what I said just now was really wise, at least it will not let the tribe leader misunderstand that I classified those human-shaped tools as human beings.

Although Tie Wandao himself could say the three words "blue-armored man" and even called the human-shaped tools "blue-armored man in the gray house", when he heard Hou Jizhuan say that human-shaped tools were not considered human, he felt an indescribable sense of relief. He immediately said, "That's right, human-shaped tools are certainly not considered human. In this case, the situation you mentioned is even less likely to occur. Think about it, when I abused those human-shaped tools, it was common for them to bleed, but their bleeding did not affect anything. The possibility of other people bleeding in the room where the Taoist performed the ritual was very small."

"Yes." Hou Jizhu said.

"Now let's talk about the number of alchemists performing the ritual. Under normal circumstances, the Gray House does not need more than three alchemists to perform the ritual at the same time." Tie Wandao said, "So, as long as there is no problem with the Gray House, I, who wear the Chu Gu Yuan, will be fine."
