Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1923 (One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty Three)

Li Pingrun looked at the fragments and found it hard to believe. He just said, "I didn't expect this to happen."

Tie Wandao said: "Didn't you say before that although gunpowder is used, there will be no explosion?"

In fact, when Li Pingrun said this to Tie Wandao, Tie Wandao himself saw that there was so little gunpowder and thought that there would definitely not be an explosion. However, when the explosion really happened, Tie Wandao questioned Li Pingrun about this issue.

"Clan leader, it looks like a very special situation has really occurred." Li Pingrun said.

"What's the special situation? Tell me about it." Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun thought for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure now. I can't just tell the clan leader about something I'm not sure about."

"Then you don't have to tell me for sure, just tell me what you think might have gone wrong." Tie Wandao asked.

"I think..." Li Pingrun said, "If I tell you, the clan leader won't think that I'm telling you something uncertain as a fact, right?"

Tie Wandao said: "Of course not, didn't you say you were not sure? I asked you to tell me what you think is possible."

After hearing what Tie Wandao said, Li Pingrun did not dare to say what he thought was possible immediately. After all, once he said it, the situation would be different. He just said, "I'll think about it."

"What else are you thinking? Anyway, it's all uncertain, just tell me what you feel, hurry up!" Tie Wandao said. Li Pingrun couldn't make any more excuses, so he said: "I think... maybe there was another force when I was performing the ritual. Of course, I don't have any basis, I just said it casually."

"Another force? What's going on?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.

"I don't know either, and I dare not say anything. But when I saw the situation here and remembered how I felt when something went wrong when I was performing the ritual for you, I always felt that if there was no other force at that time, the explosion would not have occurred anyway." Li Pingrun said.

"Where do you think that power might come from?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Actually, I'm not sure whether there really is another force, so I can't answer the clan leader's question." Li Pingrun said.

"Unsure... Unsure... You are always unsure about everything." Tie Wandao said.

Tie Wandao continued to walk and look in the room. As he walked, he suddenly saw the pattern with a regular heptagonal frame on the outside, and his heart seemed to be hit by something.

Tie Wandao thought: Li Pingrun told me before that if I draw a pattern related to a certain experience of mine in this room, just one, it will be easy for me to "see" that experience or something related to it when he performs a ritual on me. This pattern is related to an experience I had in the past, and Jinqi was in that experience. I hope to see Jinqi again, but did I see her when he performed a ritual? Why don't I have any impression of her at all? I drew this pattern here, and this room exploded. Does it mean something?
Tie Wandao immediately thought of the night when there was a thunderstorm and the candle went out when he was in front of Tie Jinqi's spirit tablet, and he thought: Strange things happened when I was in front of Jinqi's spirit tablet that day, and yesterday I drew this pattern in order to "see" Jinqi, which naturally made this room related to Jinqi. However, today, this room exploded when Li Pingrun said it would not explode.
