Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2539 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Nine) People’s Heart

"White pillars?" Tie Wandao asked, "Are they the white pillars you vaguely saw after the four corners of the painting disappeared and before the paper turned brown?"

"That's right." Li Pingrun said.

"I remember you said at that time that you felt the white stripes on the brown paper were like those white pillars. Now that you think about it, do you think the white pillars you vaguely saw this time are exactly the same as the white pillars you vaguely saw on the paper before?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said, "The white pillars I saw should be exactly the same, but this time when I performed the ritual here, I not only saw the white pillars, but also saw a copper square plate that looked like a mirror. I don't know why, but I felt that the white pillars appeared as the frame of the square plate."

"Did you see white stripes on the brown paper this time when you performed the ritual?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"I didn't see any at all." Li Pingrun said, "In fact, I never understood what the white stripes were. Now that I think about it, I think the reason I could see the white stripes was because I became abnormal after I got lost. I also think that if everything was normal for me, I would not have seen the white stripes. Where did the white stripes come from? Maybe, in fact, it was just something unreal that appeared in front of me after I saw the white pillars because of my abnormal situation at the time? The situation I saw in the painting was different from the actual situation. Although I did see the white stripes, I always felt that the white stripes were a bit 'virtual'. I don't know how to explain it clearly."

Tie Wandao said: "You think the white stripes are 'empty', so don't you think the white pillars are 'empty'?"

Li Pingrun replied: "Patriarch, I really don't feel that the white pillar is 'illusory'. When I looked at the painting before, although I only vaguely saw the white pillar, I didn't feel that the white pillar was 'illusory' at that time. Just now when I was performing the ritual here, I felt that the white pillar was real and it was right here underground. I also feel that the copper square plate in the white pillar may be something related to the human heart."

"Do you think the copper square plate is 'empty'?" Tie Wandao asked again.

Li Pingrun said: "It's not 'empty'. I just feel that the white stripes on the painting are 'empty'."

"You said that the copper square plate is related to human heart. What do you mean?" Tie Wandao asked.

"It seems to have been cast by a magician. I feel... maybe people can see some strange things in the copper square plate, which is related to what they think in their hearts. Of course, I don't know if it is true. In short, the copper square plate must be a very unusual thing, and the white pillars surrounding it are also unusual. I was just thinking, the reason why I can vaguely see the copper square plate when performing the ritual is inseparable from the white pillars shining and illuminating it? I think the reason I can see the copper square plate and the white pillars when performing the ritual is probably related to the fact that they are both very unusual. In fact, I feel that there are too many unusual things underground, and the copper square plate surrounded by white pillars is particularly unusual. Maybe that's why I saw them."

Tie Wandao said, "Are you sure that the copper square plate surrounded by white pillars is located underground here?"

Li Pingrun said: "In fact, it should be certain, but I dare not say it so absolutely. After all, I told the clan leader. What if I find out that there is no such thing at that time? What should I do then?"
