Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1773 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy Three) Interruption

"We'll find out if we just ask." said one of the alchemists.

Hou Jizhuan's eyes showed obvious fear, and he said, "No...you don't have to do this."

Hou Jizhuan's reaction made some of the Taoist priests think that what he said might not be true. Although they had heard that many people were afraid of Tie Wandao, they had never seen Tie Wandao get angry that day. They didn't know that no matter whether Hou Jizhuan was telling the truth or not, he would be extremely afraid, and they didn't know that Tie Wandao had whipped him.

Another Taoist priest said, "If you didn't lie, what's there to be afraid of? What are you worried about? You can tell if it's what the clan leader meant by asking."

Hou Jizhu felt helpless. He had indeed mentioned to Tie Wandao before that before performing rituals with other alchemists in the gray house, he should tell them that they would be cursed when they entered the gray house.

At that time, Tie Wandao said: "What? Tell them in advance? What do you think?"

Hou Jizhuan was afraid and said tremblingly: "I...oh...because...because I am a Taoist priest, this kind of thing should generally be told to others in advance."

Tie Wandao said, "Do you have a brain? This is a curse that concerns life! Who likes to be cursed by others? If I tell them in advance, what if they are no longer willing to do it after knowing that they will be cursed? Although I can force them to do it, will being forced to do it have the same effect as doing it voluntarily?"

Hou Jizhuan said to Tie Wandao: "They are also alchemists themselves. If someone has been cursed, they might be able to find out."

"How do you know they will try?" Tie Wandao said, "You didn't even mention it, so how could they think of trying it? Besides, if one of them really tried it and it worked, wouldn't you just admit that you cast a curse on them? A curse is a curse, there's no need to deny it."

Hou Jizhuan said, "They enter..." He wanted to tell Tie Wandao that those Taoist priests might feel something is wrong after entering the gray house, and then they might take the initiative to try. However, as soon as he said the word "enter", he was interrupted by Tie Wandao.

"Don't talk about this anymore! It's such a small matter, but it's still not over! Just don't tell those alchemists that you cast a curse on them. Don't do such stupid things and don't ask for trouble! Do as I say. Let's move on to the next question." Tie Wandao said.

"But..." Hou Jizhuan originally wanted to continue talking to Tie Wandao, but before he could finish his words, Tie Wandao glared at him with vicious eyes, as if he could swallow him in one bite.

Hou Jizhuan, who had already been whipped, knew that he could not talk about this matter with Tie Wandao anymore, so he asked the next question according to Tie Wandao's instructions.

In fact, because of this incident, Hou Jizhuan felt uneasy before those alchemists entered the gray house. He was secretly worried that someone would sense something was wrong and find out that he had been cursed, but there was nothing he could do.

When the alchemist asked him, "Why didn't you tell us directly that we would be cursed when we came in?", Hou Ji was stunned and his heartbeat immediately accelerated. Then another person told him about it, which made him feel embarrassed in his fear. Later, other alchemists also told him about it. As an alchemist, he knew very well that telling others after the curse would cause dissatisfaction among fellow alchemists, and he was a little at a loss.
