Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2710 (Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Ten) Filled
"Why is the pit so deep?" Tie Wandao asked.

"The location where the alchemist buried the mind-controlled person alive in the pit was very particular," Li Pingrun said. "If the location is not appropriate, it will affect other things in this underground space."

Tie Wandao asked again: "If the person whose mind is being controlled dies when he falls into the pit, how can we bury him alive?"

Li Pingrun said: "According to the design of the alchemist, the person whose mind is controlled will definitely not fall to death."

Tie Wandao asked, "Surely the energy in the controlled person's body wouldn't have dissipated when he fell into the deep pit, right?"

"Definitely not." Li Pingrun said, "So, the alchemist allowed the controlled person to still see the illusions of blood and skulls after falling into the deep pit, so that the person would still be in fear and pain. This was also designed by the alchemist to prevent the energy in the person's body from affecting the special things in the bottle. Moreover, after the controlled person fell into the deep pit, the alchemist still let blood spurt from his throat, which also allowed the energy in the person's body to continue to dissipate. In fact, as long as the controlled person is still alive, it is difficult for the energy in the body to dissipate completely, but the more energy is released, the easier it is for fear and pain to suppress the remaining energy in the controlled person's body from taking effect."

"Why does the alchemist want the person whose mind is being controlled to be covered in dirt and have his head catch on fire?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun replied: "Burning the hair of the person whose mind is being controlled can make the soil around him become more and more and swell up after a while."

"Burning the hair of the person whose mind is controlled is to fill the deep pit?" Tie Wandao asked.

"That's exactly what the alchemist designed it to do," said Li Pingrun.

"After the person whose mind is controlled is buried alive and the deep pit is filled with soil, will the place return to its previous state?" Tie Wandao asked.

"It will recover." Li Pingrun said.

"Just like when no one was buried alive?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Most people would think so after seeing this," Li Pingrun said, "but the Taoist priests can still tell whether there is anyone buried alive down there."

"You just performed a ritual. Did you find out if anyone was buried alive here?" Tie Wandao asked. "I found out. No one was buried alive." Li Pingrun replied.

"Then why were you so scared just now?" Tie Wandao asked, "Is it really that scary?"

Li Pingrun said: "I feel horrible."

Tie Wandao smiled disdainfully and said, "You think what you just said is scary?"

Li Pingrun said, "Before I performed the ritual, I never expected to learn about this! Before, I learned about various extremely beautiful scenes, but later, I suddenly learned about this. It was too sudden and the contrast was too great. When I first learned about it, it was really... horrifying!"

"I thought you were very brave." Tie Wandao said, "It turns out you are so timid!"

Li Pingrun was a little embarrassed and said, "I definitely can't compare with the clan leader."

Tie Wandao felt comfortable after hearing this, and said to Li Pingrun: "I now understand the situation here. Just now I asked you what the waterfall is used for, and you said that we can only know it by going to the waterfall and performing a ritual. So let's go to the waterfall now."

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun said.

The two of them got up and walked to the waterfall.

"Is it risky for you to perform rituals here?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Very big." Li Pingrun replied.
