Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2273 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Three) Curse

Tie Wandao asked again: "If it's not a human bone, why use this material to make it look so much like a human bone? Who are you trying to scare with this? Who can be scared with such a broken thing? It's as if everyone has never seen dead bones! Besides, even if it is used to scare people, who can open all those doors and turn all those walls? If you want to come here to be scared and have some excitement, you can't even get in! No one did this, it's so boring!"

Li Pingrun said, "Chief, this artificial skeleton seems to have been cast by a sorcerer."

"Did someone cast a spell on you to cause this?" Tie Wandao asked, "Are you sure you were cast a spell on me?"

"It's uncertain at the moment..." Li Pingrun said, "but I..."

Before Li Pingrun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tie Wandao: "Not sure again!"

"But I can confirm it by trying it out!" Li Pingrun continued, finishing what he wanted to say.

Tie Jinjue asked Li Pingrun, "Are you going to perform a ritual on it?"

Li Pingrun replied: "Yes."

"It won't have any impact on it, right?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"It's just to test whether it has been cast a spell. It will definitely not have any impact." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao deliberately asked Li Pingrun: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Li Pingrun said.

"Try it quickly!" said Tie Wandao.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

So Li Pingrun performed a ritual on the skeleton.

After the ritual was completed, he said to Tie Wandao and Tie Jinjue, "You guessed correctly. The Taoist priest has cast a spell on it."

Tie Wandao asked: "Why did the alchemist cast a spell on it?"

"Through the practice, I have confirmed that it is the 'Curse-Removing Mark', which is used by alchemists to remove curses on people." Li Pingrun said.

"Transform the curse?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said, "I can't guess why the curse is needed at the moment." Tie Wandao asked again, "Is the key inside the curse-breaking mark?"

Li Pingrun replied: "Since it has been confirmed that it is a curse mark, it can be determined that the key will definitely not melt into it."

Tie Jinjue asked: "If it won't melt into it, will it be blocked by it?"

Tie Wandao felt that what Tie Jinjue said made sense, and immediately said, "It's very likely, right?"

Li Pingrun said: "It is indeed possible that it could be blocked."

Tie Wandao asked: "Can we take it down?"

"It should be possible." Li Pingrun said, "It requires some practice."

"Will there be no negative impact from taking it down through rituals?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Not sure." Li Pingrun said, "I still need to try another spell to know what will happen if I take it down. I also need to use other spells to test whether it is blocking anything."

"Unsure again..." Tie Wandao said, "You perform the ritual."

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun said.

So he quickly performed the ritual.

After the ritual was completed, Li Pingrun said, "It is indeed blocking something. Now I know clearly that there will be no negative impact if I use the ritual to remove the curse mark."

"Then you should quickly take it down." Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said: "We need someone to catch it. It will be very dangerous if the curse mark falls to the ground."

Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinjue, "You go on."

Tie Jinjue went to the door and prepared to continue to transform the curse mark, and asked Li Pingrun: "Can I take it down directly after you perform the ritual?"

Li Pingrun said: "Absolutely not."
