Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2270 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy) No.

Tie Wandao opened the box, took out the key with "Underground One" written on it, and said to Li Pingrun, "Are you going to continue the ritual now?"

Li Pingrun asked: "Patriarch, is this the key to open this door?"

"That should be it." Tie Wandao said, "Is it okay if someone opens the door while you perform the ritual?"

"That's right." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao was worried that something might go wrong, so he said to Li Pingrun, "When you perform the ritual later, Elder Tie will use this key to open the door."

Then he said to Tie Jinjue, "He will perform a ritual, and you open the door."

Tie Jinjue was originally willing to open the door. He felt that the more he was involved in the matter, the more at ease he would be when he saw his mother in another world after his death.

Tie Jinjue said happily: "Okay, I'll drive. Should we wait for him to perform the ritual?" As he said that, he took key number one from Tie Wandao.

Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun, "Do you need to perform a ritual first?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"If you don't perform a ritual, this key won't be able to open this door?" Tie Wandao asked curiously.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "I must start the ritual first. While I am doing it, someone must use a key to open the door, and then the door can be opened."

"Is that really the case?" Tie Wandao said, "In fact, I really want to try to see if I can use the key to open this door when no one is doing anything."

Li Pingrun said quickly, "No, clan leader! That's too dangerous! This door was locked when someone was performing a magic trick. It was affected by the magic when it was locked, so it must be opened under the influence of the magic."

"In that case, then you should hurry up and perform the ritual." Tie Wandao said.

After Li Pingrun said "yes", he was about to say something to Tie Jinjue when he heard Tie Jinjue ask: "After you perform the ritual, when is the appropriate time for me to use the key to open the door?" Li Pingrun thought: I was just about to say this to Elder Tie and he asked.

He told Tie Jinjue that during the ritual, when the time was right he would tell Tie Jinjue "it's time to open it." After he said these four words, Tie Jinjue could open the door.

Tie Jinjue asked again: "What should I do if I don't open it?"

Li Pingrun said: "If Elder Tie doesn't open it, please let me know. I will adjust my method according to the situation and then tell Elder Tie whether to continue trying to open the door or stop."

Upon hearing this, Tie Wandao immediately asked, "Why is there a word 'stop'? It must be opened! What does 'stop' mean?"

Li Pingrun quickly explained: "I just mean 'pause'. It doesn't mean that we should stop trying to open the door after knowing that it has not been opened. 'Pause' first, I will think of a way, and then we will try again later."

"That's better." Tie Wandao said, "Does the ritual take a long time? Don't let the candles burn out before you finish the ritual."

Li Pingrun said: "Please rest assured, clan leader, this time is very short."

"Okay, let's do the ritual!" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun began to perform the ritual.

Soon, he said to Tie Jinjue, "It's time to open."

Tie Jinjue used key number one and opened the door.

When Tie Wandao saw the door open, he felt more assured: the key was indeed fine! He seemed to open the door easily with the key.
