Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2129 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Nine)

"Okay, then you do it." Tie Wandao said, "I really want to see what's going on. I'm not only curious about the singing and the 'talisman', I'm also curious about how the black stone moved from the big rock to the ground, and how the mat was moved away by the insects."

Li Pingrun said, "Chief, I will put it on that stone so that it will be easier to do the work."

Tie Wandao hummed.

Li Pingrun walked to the big stone where the cloth had been placed before and placed the black stone on it.

He took three steps back and took out a pentagonal iron piece from the bag he was carrying. He held the iron piece with both hands at the same time and chanted a spell. The iron piece then emitted a yellow light and shone on the black stone.

Li Pingrun stopped chanting the spell and the yellow light disappeared.

He put the iron sheet back into the bag, took three steps forward, held the black stone with both hands at the same time, raised it above his head and looked at it, while chanting a very short spell, and he knew what he wanted to know.

At this time, Tie Wandao came over. Li Pingrun, who had just finished performing a ritual, put the black stone back on the big stone and said to Tie Wandao, "This black stone should have been near Muxi Pavilion a long time ago. It has absorbed a lot of the 'qi' here. It was touched by the insect and was pushed to the ground by the insect."

"Didn't it get brought to the ground by a bug dragging the cloth?" Tie Wandao asked.

"No, it was the insect that used its legs to push the black stone from the big rock to the ground little by little." Li Pingrun replied.

Tie Wandao asked, "Are all the insects very strong?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun replied.

At this moment, Tie Wandao suddenly remembered a question that Li Pingrun had asked him before he saw the Suiwu worm, and he had not yet answered it, so he immediately said: "I haven't answered your question just now. You asked me what the characteristics of the song I heard were, right?" "Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"I don't know much about the characteristics, but I know that the song coming from Muxi Pavilion is the song of the blue-armored people." Tie Wandao said.

"The song of the blue-armored man?" Li Pingrun asked curiously, "Then... was the person who passed away in Muxi Pavilion the blue-armored man?"

"I heard so." Tie Wandao replied.

"The songs that person sang within a month before he passed away should have included those of the Blue Armor People, right?" Li Pingrun asked.

"Well, it should be. I've heard of this." Tie Wandao said, "If the song I heard from Muxi Pavilion today was sung by the blue-armored man within a month before his death, does that mean anything?"

"This shows that the soul-solidifying talisman on the stone was most likely designed by the alchemist for the blue-armored man who has passed away." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao suddenly got angry after hearing this and said, "In the Tiecang Court, why set up a 'talisman' for a blue-armored man? Which Taoist priest did this? It's so audacious! How abominable!"

"Please calm down, clan leader. Actually...actually, this kind of thing...is most likely done out of good for Tie Cang Ting." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you set up a 'talisman' for a blue-armored man and put it in Tiecang Ting, or did you do it out of good for Tiecang Ting?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "If something happened before, something that might be unlucky, then the person who set the soul-strengthening talisman on the stone might have wanted to do good for Tie Cang Ting."
