Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2283 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Three) Short Term

"As soon as you stop performing the ritual, will others have to start lighting candles as soon as possible?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"That would be best." Li Pingrun said.

"Let's go in first, we'll talk about the rest later." Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said, "Yes, clan leader."

Tie Wandao saw that there were only a few candles left in Tie Jinjue's hand, and was worried that the candles would suddenly go out after they got into the room, so he told Tie Jinjue and Li Pingrun to let Li Pingrun prepare a new candle first, and then Tie Jinjue would extinguish the candle, and Li Pingrun would quickly light the new candle.

Li Pingrun took out a new candle and a tinderbox according to what Tie Wandao said, and prepared to light the candle. He said to Tie Jinjue, "Elder Tie, I'm ready. You can put out the candle now."

As Tie Jinjue put out the candle in his hand, Li Pingrun lit up a new candle and took the extinguished candle back from Tie Jinjue.

"Let's go!" Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun.

[Chapter 237]

Tie Jinjue and Li Pingrun walked in front, Tie Jinjue walked behind, and the three of them went in through the door together.

In the light of a candle, Tie Wandao felt that the room was very large. He looked around but did not find any remains of the suicide victim.

Li Pingrun put the candle that Tie Jinjue had extinguished earlier into the bag he was carrying.

"Where are the belongings of the person who committed suicide?" Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun.

Li Pingrun said: "It should be underground."

"Which position?" Tie Wandao asked.

"You can only know after you do it." Li Pingrun said.

"Perform the ritual quickly!" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun didn't know who to give the candle to or whether to put it on the ground. He wanted to let someone else hold it, but it was hard to say. If he put it on the ground, he was worried that Tie Wandao would think that the candle was placed too low and the room would look dark. However, there was no high place in the empty room to put the candle. Tie Jinjue saw that he was in a dilemma again and immediately said, "You don't need candles when you perform rituals, right?"

"Yes, Elder Tie." Li Pingrun said.

"I'll take it." Tie Jinjue said, "You don't need to avoid the candlelight when you perform the ritual, right?"

"No need to avoid it." Li Pingrun said, "Thank you, Elder Tie!"

Li Pingrun thought: Elder Tie really provided me with a lot of convenience!

Li Pingrun acted quickly and soon determined where the suicide person's belongings were buried.

After the ritual was completed, Li Pingrun pointed to a spot on the ground and said, "It should be there."

The three of them walked towards the location that Li Pingrun pointed to, and saw a short white line on the ground.

Tie Jinjue shone the candle in his hand towards the short white line and took a look.

Tie Wandao said: "There is no opening here either, just a short line. Was this short line formed by the alchemist's magic?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "I will perform the ritual again, and then we should be able to see the remains of the person who committed suicide."

"Then you should perform the ritual quickly." Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun sat cross-legged in front of the short line, closed his eyes, chanted a spell, and quickly made one movement after another.

After opening his eyes, he stopped chanting the spell and touched one end of the short line on the ground with his right index finger. At this time, the short white line turned into a smooth, slightly concave road, slightly wider than his index finger.

Li Pingrun used his right index finger to slide along the smooth path to the other end.

The moment his right index finger reached the other end and left the smooth road, the smooth road suddenly emitted a strong yellow light, making the surroundings suddenly brighter.
