Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1929 (One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty Nine) Constraints

"Why do you have to do this? Is it okay not to accept Huanshi?" Nie Huihou asked.

"If you don't accept, the master won't teach you magic at all. If you don't accept, you will be expelled from the sect." Quan Chumeng said.

"Why? Don't masters always hope that their apprentices will have a bright future? As a result, from the moment they accept Huanshi, those people are restricted before they can really become alchemists." Nie Huihou said.

"That's why I say that many alchemists are useless. What great things can they do? They can't even go to the battlefield." Quan Chumeng said.

"Not only are those alchemists useless, I think those masters are also useless. They haven't even taught their apprentices yet, but they've already made them unable to go to the battlefield. Isn't this ruining them?" Nie Huihou said, "It's not hard to understand. Those masters themselves have received the punishment of the world in the past, right? Well, if they are so useless that they can't even go to the battlefield, how can they let their apprentices go to the battlefield?"

"What Elder Nie said makes sense!" Quan Chumeng said.

"But why do we have to have this ritual of cleansing the world? I still can't figure it out." Nie Huihou said.

"Just like Elder Nie said, they are sick!" Quan Chumeng said arrogantly.

Nie Huihou said: "It seems that you have a lot of objections to the Huanshili!"

Quan Chumeng sneered and said, "Of course, they themselves are sick, and they want the newcomers to be like them and suffer from the same disease." Nie Huihou asked, "Did your master tell you why you should accept Huanshi?"

"I did say that." Quan Chumeng said.

"What did you say?" Nie Huihou said, "I really want to know. Don't tell me your master didn't let you tell it."

"Of course he didn't stop me from saying it. Besides, he is no longer my master. Even if he didn't let me say it, I can still say it." Quan Chumeng said.

"Then tell me quickly. I want to hear it." Nie Huihou said, "What did your master say? Tell me in detail, otherwise I really can't understand this kind of thing."

"My master said that people who have learned magic are different from other people. If they are not subject to certain restrictions, they might do extraordinary things. So after becoming a disciple, before the master actually teaches the apprentice magic, the apprentice must accept the restrictions that will constrain his future behavior." Quan Chumeng replied.

"It's not detailed. I still don't understand. Can preventing a person from going to the battlefield for the rest of his life prevent him from doing extraordinary things? Is going to the battlefield an extraordinary thing? Just like before, there was a Guishi monster that attached itself to the bodies of people from other tribes and attacked them. Later, a war broke out. Is it a good thing that the alchemists couldn't go to the battlefield? Wasn't it very important to resist foreign enemies at that time? Is resisting foreign enemies also an extraordinary thing?" Nie Huihou asked.

Quan Chumeng said: "The extraordinary things my master said are not things like going to the battlefield. The fate of those who accept the Huanshi is linked to some mysterious power. There are many things they can't do casually in the future. Once they do, there will be serious consequences. Different sects learn different spells and are subject to different restrictions. For example, people from some sects cannot lie in front of the people who ask them to perform rituals. If they lie, the performers will be in trouble. If people from some sects hurt innocent people when performing rituals, the performers themselves will also be in trouble. If people from some sects do things that go against their conscience three times and cause certain consequences, that person will die miserably..."
