Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2309 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Nine)
"What counts as a special case?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said, "That is... Let me use Muxi Pavilion as an example. Let's say we are in the basement of Muxi Pavilion now. There was no one there originally, but then one more person appeared. This is considered a special situation. Or, there were originally two people in there, and suddenly a third person appeared. This is also considered a special situation. For example, when the monitoring record was set up, there was a candle burning in the basement, but the candle suddenly went out. This is also considered a special situation, and it can be found out when I use the ritual to check whether there is a special situation."

"After you find out the special circumstances, don't you still have to look through the Observation Fan?" Tie Wandao asked.

"After finding out the special circumstances, I will only look at the records of the special circumstances displayed in the Guanji fan." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao asked: "What if special situations continue to occur? Aren't you afraid of going blind after seeing this?"

Li Pingrun said: "If it continues to happen, I will take a pill to protect my eyes before looking at the Guanji fan."

"Can the Baomu Pills prevent people who look at the Guanji Fan from going blind?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun replied.

"Then after taking the Ke Bao Mu Pill, you just keep staring at the Guan Ji Fan to see all the situations recorded in the monitoring record, and everything will be fine, right? Why go through so much trouble and perform a ritual to check if there are any special circumstances?" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said: "Clan leader, the number of eye-protecting pills is extremely limited. It takes three years to refine one, so you can't use them lightly."

"Can't you refine more at a time?" Tie Wandao asked, "Can't you save them?" "Chief, I want to, but the things needed to refine the Baomu Pills are extremely rare and hard to find, so I can't refine more." Li Pingrun said.

Li Pingrun continued, "No matter what, the time you keep staring at the fan will be longer than just looking at the time when special circumstances occur. In short, the less time you can spend staring at the fan, the better."

"Then how do you know under what circumstances you need to take the eye-protecting pills?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I will use a ritual to measure how long the special situation has lasted. When I know in advance that the special situation has lasted for more than a certain period of time, I can feel a heat rushing to my eyes. This heat is actually a reminder to me that I must take the Eye Protection Pill first before I can use the Observation Fan to see the situation recorded in the monitoring record."

"But, if you want to know how long the special situation will last through magic, do you also need to perform magic on the Guanji fan?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun.

"Don't you need to look at the Guanji fan when you are performing a spell on it?" Tie Wandao asked, "If you look at it, will it be bad for your eyes?"

Li Pingrun replied: "Patriarch, it is like this. There are two buttons at the bottom of the handle of the Guanji Fan. When the silver button is pressed, I can perform a ritual to measure whether there are any special circumstances in the twenty-four hours recorded in the monitoring record and how long the special circumstances have occurred. If my eyes feel hot at this time, I know that I need to take the eye-protecting pills. When the gold button is pressed, I can perform a ritual to directly view the contents of the monitoring record. If neither button is pressed, the Guanji Fan will not have those functions. It will look like an ordinary round fan, and even if I perform a ritual, I will not be able to see any images on it. When no buttons are pressed, I look at it just like looking at an ordinary round fan, and my eyes will naturally not be harmed."
