Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3440 (Three Thousand Four Hundred and Forty) Traces
He didn't know what Tie Wandao wanted him to do, and didn't know whether he should hand it over to Tie Wandao immediately, so he stood there with a candle in each hand without moving.

"Give it to me!" Tie Wandao said, "What are you standing there for?"

Ning Duanye agreed and handed the candle to Tie Wandao.

After taking the candle, Tie Wandao walked a few steps towards Muxi Pavilion, then turned around and walked back, looking annoyed.

Tie Hongyan didn't know what had happened before to cause Tie Wandao to be so irritable. He wanted to ask, but he felt that if he asked at this time, it might further irritate Tie Wandao.

Tie Wandao asked Ning Duanye: "I just want to know how those relics disappeared from the world! My Tiecang tribe is the largest tribe, and the things buried underground just disappeared, just disappeared from the world, and even the alchemist I found as the tribe leader doesn't know what happened! Isn't this ridiculous!"

Tie Hongyan thought: So, those relics have disappeared? Dad didn't mean they disappeared from Tiecangting, but disappeared from the world? In other words, the result of the painting method that Ning Fangshi just drew for his uncle was that those relics were gone?
This is indeed the case.

Just before Tie Hongyan went to Chimei to call Wu Xunsheng, Tie Wandao and Tie Jinjue learned from Ning Duanye the results of his previous painting method for the relic.

He asked Ning Duanye those questions, and Ning Duanye answered them truthfully.

Tie Wandao asked Ning Duanye whether those relics were still in Tiecangting. Ning Duanye said they were not there, and that they were no longer in the world and had completely disappeared.

Tie Wandao asked: "If those relics are still there, is it possible to learn some information about the person who performed the ritual?"

Ning Duanye said it was possible because he felt that the disappearance of those relics was related to magic.

Tie Wandao asked, "Did someone perform a ritual when those relics disappeared?"

"It must be." Ning Duanye said. "How do you know it wasn't burned directly?" Tie Wandao asked again.

"It's possible that it was burned by someone, but even if it was burned by someone, someone must have performed a ritual when it was burned." Ning Duanye replied.

Tie Wandao asked: "What is the difference between someone performing a ritual and no one performing a ritual?"

"Actually, that depends on what magic the caster uses." Ning Duanye replied.

"I asked you what the difference is between someone performing a ritual and no one performing a ritual. Do you understand?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I understand." Ning Duanye said, "But not everyone's magic will make things disappear, and not everyone's magic will make things disappear."

"Explain it to me clearly." Tie Wandao said.

"Under normal circumstances, if something is burned directly, even if we see it burn, it will still leave a 'trace' in the world. As long as someone draws a picture of the thing and the picture is not too different from the thing itself, some Taoist priests can find the trace of the thing by performing a magic on the picture." Ning Duanye said, "Only by performing a magic to make the thing disappear can the trace of the thing left in the world be completely eliminated. Of course, it doesn't mean that all cases of using magic to make things disappear will eliminate the trace. It depends on what magic the performer uses."

"If a person uses a spell that can erase all traces when burning relics, will it happen that the thing is not completely burned?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Absolutely not." Ning Duanye said.

"Are you so sure?" Tie Wandao asked.
