Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2128 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Eight)

Tie Wandao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about that. I have never heard what the deceased person's singing sounded like when he was alive."

Li Pingrun asked: "Did you hear only one song this time, or did you hear multiple songs?"

"One song." Tie Wandao said, "Only that one song will appear repeatedly."

"Did the person who died in Muxi Pavilion sing this song within a month before his death?" Li Pingrun asked.

"I don't know." Tie Wandao said.

"What are the characteristics of this song?" Li Pingrun continued to ask.

Before Tie Wandao could answer, the thick black insect that he and his men had seen before suddenly crawled near Tie Wandao's feet.

At that time, Tie Wandao happened to lower his head and saw the thick black insect.

Tie Wandao was thinking about other things. At first, he thought it was an ordinary bug and almost kicked it away. Before he kicked, he realized that it was the black bug he had seen before. He remembered that this kind of bug ate the steamed buns that his subordinates put on the mat as tribute. He also remembered some of his subordinates' behaviors, and felt that for the sake of good luck, he must not harm this bug.

So he not only stepped back himself, but also immediately pulled Li Pingrun back.

After Li Pingrun was pulled by him, he saw Tie Wandao looking down at the ground, so he also lowered his head and saw the thick black worm.

Li Pingrun immediately pointed at the thick black bug and said, "There really is such a bug here!"

Tie Wandao asked: "What kind of insect is this?" "It's called 'Suiwu Insect'." Li Pingrun said.

"Is this insect very strong?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "Has the clan leader ever seen what this kind of insect does?"

"I've only seen it dragging a mat with two of its legs," Tie Wandao said. "Of course, this doesn't directly show how strong it is, but there is one thing I suspect it did. There was a mat on the big rock over there, and on the mat was a not-so-big black stone. There used to be steamed buns on the mat, and it once climbed onto the big rock to eat the steamed buns. Later, the black stone on top appeared on the ground near the big rock, and it was walking with two of its legs holding up the mat. I suspect it dragged the mat down from the big rock, and in the process brought the black stone on the mat to the ground. Although the black stone is not big or heavy, if the insect can use its legs to move the mat with the black stone on it, then its strength is unexpectedly great. Do you think it did this?"

"Hearing what the clan leader said, I think it is very likely." Li Pingrun replied. He then asked: "Has the black stone on the mat you mentioned always been in this area?"

Tie Wandao said "yes" and then said: "Wait a minute, I'll look for it, it should still be on the ground."

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao immediately walked to the big stone where the mat was placed before, picked up the black stone that he had placed on the mat before, walked towards Li Pingrun, and said, "It's this black stone. Can you tell what happened between it and the insect?"

Li Pingrun took a look and said, "If the clan leader wants to know more details, I can perform a ritual."

"Does it take a long time?" Tie Wandao asked, "Is the ritual difficult?"

"It's not long." Li Pingrun said, "It's not difficult either. I'll use a very simple spell."
