Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1819 (One Thousand Eight Hundred and Nineteen) Fu Qiu

"What does Hou Jizhuan's desire to kill the man in blue armor have to do with curing his leg?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Le Yu said: "This seems to be related to magic. It will cost the lives of several blue-armored men. Through magic, the condition of his legs can be improved."

"What if they don't do that?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Le Yu said, "I heard that there are two ways to make Hou Jizhuan's legs better, both of which require rituals. If the rituals are not performed in time, Hou Jizhuan's legs will completely lose sensation in three years. Hou Jizhuan has been using crutches to move as much as possible these days to prevent the situation from getting worse. One of the methods will cost the lives of several blue-armored men, and the other method is related to the young clan leader. However, they have decided to use the method that will cost several lives today."

"What is the other method that is related to me?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"It's also related to magic. I didn't quite understand what they said specifically, but it was probably that they found a suitable point, which was that location. If the young patriarch happened to appear at that location at the right time, they wouldn't have to kill those blue-armored men." Le Yu said.

"Why me?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"I heard from Hou Jizhuan's brother that they need to use something called 'Fuqiu Qi' when performing rituals... It sounds like that's what it's called. A person with Purifying Soul Qi will have Fuqiu Qi in his body within seven days after the Purifying Soul Qi is absorbed by the Taoist through rituals. After the seventh day, the Fuqiu Qi will naturally disappear." Le Yu replied.

Tie Hongyan asked, "Is their desire to kill the blue-armored man also related to Fu Qiu's energy?"

Le Yu said: "I heard them say that when they kill people, they can collect a little Fuqiu Qi from the moment a person is born to die through magic, but this method is definitely not enough to collect from only one person, so they have to kill several people."

"Only killing the blue-armored people will do?" Tie Hongyan asked. "No." Le Yu said, "I heard from Hou Jizhuan's brother that the blue-armored people are not considered human beings, so killing a few of them won't make us feel too guilty."

After hearing this, Tie Hongyan felt as if a knife had been stabbed in the heart. She thought: Yes, the whole environment is like this, wouldn't there be too much guilt for killing the blue-armored people? Sad...

Tie Hongyan asked, "In other words, if I pass by that location, they can use magic to absorb the Fu Qiu Qi from me. It would be enough to absorb only me, so they don't have to kill those blue-armored men?"

Le Yu nodded and said, "That's right."

"It's really strange, why didn't they try to lure me to that location, but instead chose to kill the blue-armored man..." Tie Hongyan frowned slightly.

Le Yu said: "From what I heard from them, I felt that Hou Jizhuan seemed to hate the clan leader very much. You are the clan leader's child, and they seemed to be very afraid that you would find out what they were doing, not to mention taking the initiative to lead you over. In fact, I think that Hou Jizhuan seemed to only hate the clan leader, not you."

"They are not even afraid of killing people, but they are afraid that I will find out what they are doing?" Tie Hongyan asked curiously, "Isn't it just to heal the leg? Even if they told me, it's nothing. Could it be that absorbing Fu Qiu's energy has any adverse effects on me?"

Le Yu said, "I just learned from their conversation that if a person has Purifying Qi and the Purifying Qi is absorbed by the Taoist priest through magic, there is nothing wrong with keeping the Fuqiu Qi that appears on the person's body, and there is nothing wrong with letting someone absorb it."
