Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2832 (Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-Two) Random Thoughts

When they were in the underground space, Li Pingrun told Tie Wandao that it was that place itself that could sink.

As he spoke, shadows of some past experiences flashed through Li Pingrun's mind again, but they disappeared very quickly.

Tie Wandao asked him, "Is there anything in there?"

He said there was soil, and that as the person whose mind was controlled fell, the blood spurting from his throat would also fall onto the soil.

At this point, some past events flashed through Li Pingrun's mind again.

Li Pingrun didn't think about it specifically. When the scenes that flashed by no longer existed, those scenes did not reappear immediately.

In front of Tie Wandao, Li Pingrun didn't think about it anymore. However, when he left Bakong Palace later and was walking back alone, Li Pingrun couldn't help but think of what he had said to Tie Wandao about the sinking in the underground space, and immediately remembered the things related to "ground sinking" many years ago.

However, he felt that he was overthinking. He believed that the incident related to the "land subsidence" many years ago was no longer in his mind, and he felt that he did not need to make any changes because of what happened that year. He told himself not to think too much just because he mentioned the subsidence to the patriarch that day, and told himself that some things were just his overthinking.

That night, before he extinguished the candle before going to bed, he once again thought about the situation related to the "ground sinkhole" and what another alchemist had said to him.

He still didn't believe it, and the candle suddenly fell out.

He propped up the candle before it went out.

He recalled the time when his sister Li Gengmi accidentally knocked over a candle when she was a child. After Li Gengmi knocked over the candle, Li Pingrun wanted to help her pick it up, but he felt that there was no need to relight the candle.

However, just before Li Pingrun lit the candle, it went out.

Li Gengmi wanted to light it again, but it wouldn't light up no matter what he did.

Li Pingrun asked Li Gengmi to wait nearby and lit a candle for him.

However, he couldn't light it. Later he found that the candle had fallen over and the wick was contaminated by a strange substance, which prevented the candle from being lit again.

Li Pingrun took a look and found that it was something he had spilled on the ground when practicing magic. He thought that after a while, the thing would have dried up and no longer have any effect, but that was not the case.

Many years later, on the night when he and Tie Wandao had been to the underground space together, looking at the candle that was still lit after he had propped it up, Li Pingrun thought of the scene that had happened before involving the candle falling over, and immediately thought of the things that had been spilled on the ground when he was practicing magic many years ago. He felt that some memories seemed to be like the things spilled on the ground, making people think that they would no longer work, but in fact they still could work.

Li Pingrun certainly didn't want the memories of the past to remain deep in his heart. He felt that such things should have passed long ago. He only needed to remember his sister. As for the other things... he felt that they were all fake and not always in his heart. He thought that he remembered those things again that day only because the sinkhole he talked about with Tie Wandao was similar to the "ground sinkhole" of that year.

Li Pingrun thought at the time that if there were no similarities, he would not have reacted differently to the "ground subsidence" from others.

However, at this moment, his heart seemed to be hooked by the candlelight, making him want to try something.
