Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2509 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Nine) Ink Spot
Tie Jinjue thought: Did he see something different from the previous scene in the painting? Then why did he say that he didn't find anything useful? Could it be that he saw something but he thought it didn't make much sense?

Tie Wandao asked, "The scene you saw in the painting? What scene?"

Li Pingrun replied: "In short, it is the scene where the content of my painting is swallowed up by a piece of black ink."

Tie Wandao asked: "Which painting did you test for this?"

Li Pingrun said, "It's the last painting I drew, the only one that has not been modified by Elder Tie."

Tie Jinjue thought: How could this happen? The test that I didn't modify appeared? The test that I modified didn't appear? He is a Taoist priest, he won't think there is something wrong with me because of this, right? Could this be related to my use of the bipolar flash near the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion? If there is any connection, even if Taoist priest Li has a strange situation, he won't be able to know that I have used the bipolar flash.

Tie Wandao said: "Tell me in detail what you saw first and what you saw next when you were working on the painting."

Li Pingrun said: "At first, what I saw was the painting itself, a complete painting..."

Before Li Pingrun could finish, Tie Wandao interrupted him and asked, "Complete? In other words, the content of the painting you saw when you performed the ritual is the same as what you saw when you didn't perform the ritual?"

Li Pingrun nodded and said, "It's still the same now."

"When did it become different?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Just when I cast a spell on the center of the painting, a circular ink spot suddenly appeared in the center of the painting." Li Pingrun said, "The ink spot was not there before."

At this point, Li Pingrun remembered what Tie Wandao said before, "What others see is the real scene", so he asked Tie Wandao and Tie Jinjue, "I wonder if the 'real scene' of the painting that the clan leader and Elder Tie saw before also has a circular ink dot in the center?"

Tie Jinjue and Li Pingrun shook their heads and said, "I remember there was a blank space in the middle, I wonder if I'm wrong." In order to avoid any problems caused by remembering it wrong, Tie Jinjue wanted to go and see it in person, so he said to Tie Wandao, "I'll go and take a look." Then he walked towards the table that Li Pingrun had used to draw before.

Tie Wandao said "hmm" to Tie Jinjue, then said to Li Pingrun, "I don't remember any round ink spot in the middle of the painting." After saying this, he said to Tie Jinjue who was walking towards the table, "Bring the painting here for me to see."

Tie Jinjue walked to the table and took a look, but did not see the last painting drawn by Li Pingrun on the table, but he could see all the other paintings.

Tie Jinjue was stunned at first, and then he noticed a piece of paper with four corners missing. The corners looked like they were burned, and the whole piece of paper was brown.

He thought: There was no such thing before?

He said to Tie Wandao: "I didn't see the last painting he drew."

"What?" Tie Wandao asked, "Why is there such a thing?"

As he said that, he immediately stood up and walked towards the table where Li Pingrun had used to paint before.

Tie Jinjue then said to Tie Wandao, "There is an extra piece of brown paper here. Could this be the painting he drew?"

Li Pingrun followed Tie Wandao and after hearing what Tie Jinjue said, he immediately pointed at the brown paper and said to the two of them, "Elder Tie is right. After I cast a spell on the painting, it became like this. This is really the last painting I drew just now."
