Chapter 2076 (Two Thousand and Seventy-Six) ​​Prayer
The Taoist priest said that it is currently impossible to find something that will definitely produce practical results, but doing some things can be considered a ritual, just like people who believe in something worshipping certain things. At least it can be considered a prayer, which makes oneself feel that one has worked hard for it and one will feel better.

"What ceremony? How should things be done?" Tie Wandao asked.

The Taoist priest once again emphasized to Tie Wandao that doing this was different from performing a ritual. It was just a wish. Even if this ritual was held, there was no guarantee that what happened before would not affect the fortune of the Tiecang tribe in the future. After that, the Taoist priest asked Tie Wandao if he really wanted to do it.
Tie Wandao always felt uneasy and uncomfortable, so when he heard the Taoist mention this kind of ceremony, he wanted to try it to make himself feel more at ease. However, he also considered whether the ceremony would be too grand. After all, he just wanted to quietly drive away the uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't want more people to know that he held a ceremony because someone died next to the Seven Stars Zuiren Pavilion. He thought that doing so would make it easy for people to see through his thoughts and cause more trouble. So he asked, "How many people are needed?"

"One or two people will be enough." said the Taoist priest.

"How many people do you want to do this in front of?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I know the clan leader wants such matters to be kept secret, so the first thing I consider is the number of people. The kind of ceremony I'm talking about does not need to be performed in front of other people, and the people doing it have to do it in a place where no one can see." The alchemist replied.

"Is there a big difference between doing this kind of thing alone and doing it with two people?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Two people doing it may appear more pious. Even if two people do it, they have to do it separately. When each person is doing it, the other person cannot see that person close by." The Taoist said, "The clan leader appears pious when doing it. In addition to the clan leader, the elders also appear very pious when doing it."

Tie Wandao asked: "If a clan leader does it and then an elder does it, wouldn't that be the most pious?"

"Yes." The Taoist said, "This is indeed the best way."

"What needs to be done?" Tie Wandao asked.

"After dealing with this man's body and the bloodstains on the central pavilion, the clan leader or elder can take the things I gave you and recite some words next to the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion. Those words are not spells, but just prayers. When a person is praying, no one else can see it, and no one else can disturb it." said the Taoist priest.

"Can you surround me with something while I do this?" Tie Wandao asked.

"That's absolutely fine, but you must make sure that your eyes can see the central pavilion of the Seven-Star Zuiren Pavilion." The Taoist priest replied.

"Just make a hole in the things that surround me so that I can see the central pavilion of the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion, but others can't see me, right?" Tie Wandao said.

"Yes." The Taoist priest said, "If you want to prevent being disturbed during your prayer and affecting your piety, then while you are doing this, another person can keep an eye on the movements near you from a distance. If the other person finds someone walking towards you, he or she can stop that person from approaching you in time."

Tie Wandao said, "When an elder was surrounded by things and prayed with the things you gave him, I was watching the movements near him from a distance. That elder and I just need to keep an eye on each other, right? We don't need to tell other people about this, right?"
