Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2137 Relics

"I think so, otherwise the two parts would not be misaligned at all." Li Pingrun said.

"Can you figure out who did this to it?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said: "I'm not sure if I can measure it."

"Uncertain... Uncertain again!" Tie Wandao frowned.

"I can only confirm whether it can be detected after I go inside the Muxi Pavilion and perform the ritual." Li Pingrun replied.

"If you perform magic inside the Muxi Pavilion at that time, will it affect Gong Hunyu and cause its two parts to be dislocated?" Tie Wandao asked with a frown.

Li Pingrun said, "No. Even if I go into the Muxi Pavilion to perform a ritual, I will only use a test spell. I will never use a spell that can cause its two parts to be misaligned, unless I am tired of living."

Tie Wandao asked, "Is it dangerous for the Taoist priest to use a spell that could dislocate Gong Hunyu's two parts?"

"It's extremely dangerous!" Li Pingrun said, "Clan leader, I've told you before that alchemists must undergo the Cleansing before learning magic. If someone who has undergone the Cleansing performs magic on Gong Hunyu, who is embedded in the Muxi Pavilion, under the current circumstances, he will most likely die on the spot. Even if he can survive, he will be seriously injured in a short period of time, and all the magic he practiced before will definitely be useless after the magic is performed."

"What exactly does 'the current situation' refer to?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said: "To be specific, it is the situation after Gong Hunyu has been embedded in Muxi Pavilion, the underground work has been completed, and finally the alchemist set the Gong Hun talisman on the stone."

Tie Wandao asked, "What is 'the underground matter'?"

"The alchemists put the deceased's belongings into the ground near the Soul-Consolidating Talisman through a ritual." Li Pingrun said. "The ground near the Soul-Consolidating Talisman?" Tie Wandao asked, "Could it be here?"

"That should be it." Li Pingrun said, "All the insects have appeared here."

"What's the connection between the appearance of the object-carrying insects here and the relics underground?" Tie Wandao asked curiously.

Li Pingrun replied: "The follower bug is not an ordinary bug. It will appear in places where there is a soul-strengthening talisman but something has gone wrong near the talisman."

"Has there been some problem?" Tie Wandao said.

"For example, Gong Hunyu in Muxi Pavilion is misplaced, and that's the problem." Li Pingrun replied.

"If something happens to Gong Hunyu, will the accompanying insects appear? What is the relationship between the accompanying insects and the relics underground?" Tie Wandao asked again.

Li Pingrun said: "If there are no relics of the deceased underground, the worms will not appear."

"Don't Taoist priests always place the deceased's relics underground before setting up the Soul Consolidation Talisman?" Tie Wandao asked, "If Taoist priests always do this, then how do you know that if there are no relics underground, the accompanying insects will not appear if something goes wrong?"

Li Pingrun said: "This was also discovered by other alchemists a long time ago. Many years ago, a rare event happened. At that time, five important and powerful people in a sect committed suicide one after another on the same day in different locations. Someone asked an alchemist to set up five soul-strengthening talismans at the five locations. Before setting up the soul-strengthening talisman at each location, the alchemist embedded a soul-strengthening jade in a higher position at the local location, and of course, he also used magic to place the relics of the five powerful people underground in the five locations."
