Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2542 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Two)

Tie Wandao had not intended to ask, but he was curious and thought that understanding this situation might help him find the entrance, so he asked, "When you drew the circle just now, you tied one end of the rope to the nail, right?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"What about the other end?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"I tied it to a branch." Li Pingrun replied.

"Did you pull the rope completely straight?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"The rope is only this long, how can it be used to determine the size of the circle?" Tie Wandao asked curiously, "If the rope is not this long, for example, if the rope is shorter than this, then wouldn't the circle be very small?"

Li Pingrun said, "This is the rope used for rituals. It can be extended or shortened." As he spoke, he took out the ball of rope from the bag and showed it to Tie Wandao.

Tie Wandao looked at the rope in his hand, touched it, and felt that it had no elasticity, so he asked, "This thing can only be extended or shortened under the influence of magic, right?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"It itself has no elasticity," said Tie Wandao.

Li Pingrun explained to Tie Wandao: "When I perform the ritual, it will determine the length based on the actual situation I measured through the ritual and temporarily fix the length. Then I can straighten it and use it to draw a circle through the ritual. In this case, the range of the circle I draw must be the range measured by my ritual."

"How did you determine the range?" Tie Wandao asked, "Did you use that funnel-like thing just now?"

Li Pingrun put the rope ball into his bag and said, "Yes, I use it to confirm it. In the process of my performance, it will move around, and if it 'feels' that a certain location may be the entrance, it will secretly leave a 'sensing point' on the ground. In the process of moving, it will 'feel' that a certain place is the entrance many times, and it will leave sensing points many times. Then the circle that I draw through the performance will enclose all the sensing points." "Can't we see those sensing points?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes," Li Pingrun said, "It is precisely because we cannot see those sensitive points that I have to draw this circle."

"Can't you use magic to make those points appear in other forms?" Tie Wandao asked, "For example, make them glow."

"I'm sorry, clan leader." Li Pingrun said, "I don't have a way to make the sense point glow, and I believe that other alchemists can't do it either."

"Then how do we find the entrance in this big circle?" Tie Wandao asked, "Do we have to wait for you to perform a ritual?"

"That's not necessarily true." Li Pingrun said.

"Some people may be more sensitive to sensitive areas for various reasons." Li Pingrun said, "Everyone is different."

"Are you talking about ordinary people who can't cast spells?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun replied, "But there won't be many people who are sensitive to this feeling point."

"Can ordinary people do this?" Tie Wandao asked curiously.

"Yes, because this place itself is enchanted by me. Just as different people may have different effects after being enchanted, some people will become particularly sensitive to the sense points under the influence of the spell I used."
