Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2519 Scenery

Li Pingrun, who was already feeling uneasy, became even more uneasy after hearing Tie Wandao's question. He looked puzzled and said, "Chief, I don't know why this place has become like this."

"What do you mean it has become like this?" Tie Wandao asked, "Just tell me directly, did you go the wrong way?"

Li Pingrun said: "Remember the path I took, there is no problem, I won't go wrong."

Tie Wandao glanced at him and said, "Think about it carefully. Just because you remember that you took the right path doesn't mean that the path you are taking now is the right one."

Li Pingrun said: "Just now I looked around and everything seemed fine."

Tie Wandao asked, "Do you find the scenery here unfamiliar?"

"It's not that I don't feel familiar at all, it's just... this place seems a little different from what I saw before." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao felt something was wrong and looked at Tie Jinjue.

Tie Jinjue asked Li Pingrun: "Think back, could it be that you got lost in this place?"

Li Pingrun thought for a moment and said, "Although I can't remember clearly, after hearing what Elder Tie said, I really think I might have gotten lost in this area!"

"Just think carefully here, can you recall what happened at that time?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said: "I felt confused at the time, as if I was controlled by something."

"Controlled?" Tie Jinjue asked, "What did you do at that time?"

"It seems that I didn't do anything. It's just that when I walked forward, I was attracted to some things and looked at them, but I don't know why I looked at them." Li Pingrun said. "What did you see?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"There were just some trees, flowers and grass. The thing that impressed me the most was the thorny thing." Li Pingrun said, "Because I have never seen it before."

"Is there anything like the 'thorny thing' you mentioned in this place now?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"There are more flowers and plants over there. Can I take a look?" Li Pingrun said.

Tie Jinjue looked at Tie Wandao, as if asking for his opinion.

Li Pingrun also looked at Tie Wandao, as if waiting for his answer.

Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun, "Go over there and take a look. If you see anything, call us over. We'll rest here."

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinjue, "He said this place seems a little different from what he saw before. Is it because he is not in a normal condition now?"

Tie Jinjue said: "I don't know, but before, he only saw that the content in the painting was different from what we saw. When he looked at other things, it seemed that what he saw was no different from us."

"That's right. We haven't found that he sees other things differently from us." Tie Wandao said, "But he said that this place is not quite the same as what he saw before. If he didn't remember it wrongly, I don't think the scenery here has really changed in such a short time. It's that at least once what he saw was inconsistent with the reality. Tell me, if what he saw was different from the reality, was it the previous time, or this time, or was it that what he saw both times was different from the reality?"

Tie Jinjue thought about it, but before he could say anything, Tie Wandao thought of another thing and said, "Could the place where the changes occurred underground in Tiecangting really be in this area? If so, under the influence of the underground changes, will the scenery on the ground really become different from before in a short period of time?"
