Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2272 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-Two)

Tie Wandao handed the box to Li Pingrun, who closed the box tightly and began to perform the ritual.

During the ritual, the box hung in the air several times and finally fell back into Li Pingrun's hands.

"Chief, there is no other key in this box." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao became even more annoyed after hearing this. He didn't want this to be true. He hoped there was another key in the box, but Li Pingrun just couldn't see it yet. So he said, "Are you sure?"

Before, Li Pingrun always said "not sure", and Tie Wandao hoped that he would say "sure" when answering his questions. However, at this moment, he wanted to hear Li Pingrun say "not sure".

"I'm sure!" Li Pingrun said very affirmatively.

"You are sure about this! What kind of thing is this!" Tie Wandao glanced at Li Pingrun and said.

Li Pingrun thought: This time I said "sure", the clan leader was not happy, oh! That's right, if there really was another key in the box, the problem would be solved! If I wasn't sure, at least I could still have some hope for the box! But this time I was really sure, who knew that this time I said "sure" and it would be this matter.

Li Pingrun said, "Chief, I also hope there is another key inside it, but I know through my practice that there really is no key."

Tie Wandao took the box back from Li Pingrun and said impatiently, "This door obviously needs a key to open. Now that I can't find the key, how can I open the door?"

Tie Wandao thought: Before he died, my father told me that the key in this box was related to Muxi Pavilion, but he didn't say there were other keys related to Muxi Pavilion in other places. These are the only keys of this kind I can find in my bedroom. There is no other place in the bedroom where there are such keys.

Li Pingrun said to Tie Wandao, "Let me take a look." Tie Jinjue pointed at the bulging skull on the door and said, "Compared to the other doors, this door has this one more thing. Could the key be related to this?"

Li Pingrun said: "I also think the key may be related to this."

Tie Wandao suddenly felt that what they said made sense, and said, "It is very likely! Why is there a bulging skull here? Aren't the remains of people who committed suicide buried underground? How come there are bones? This is too abnormal! Could the key be in this skull?"

In fact, Tie Jinjue had thought about whether the key was in this skull, but because he didn't know what this skull was and whether it had any relationship with his mother, he didn't say it directly. He was worried that if he said it too clearly, Tie Wandao would say something like smashing the skull like he had said before, like smashing the box.

After hearing Tie Wandao say "Could the key be in this skull?", Tie Jinjue thought again: If it is really in here, the clan leader will not really break it, right? We still don't know what is going on with this skull! I'd better talk to the Taoist priest first and ask him to perform a ritual!

After Li Pingrun took a closer look at the skull, he said to Tie Wandao, "Chief, these are not human bones."

Tie Jinjue, who was about to tell Li Pingrun to perform a ritual, suddenly felt a little relieved after hearing this and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Tie Wandao asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao thought: This time he finally said "OK", and his "OK" about this matter is much better than his previous "OK" about that matter.
