Chapter 3211 (Three Thousand Two Hundred Eleven) Slip

Tie Wandao’s men hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Just when Tie Hongyan went to talk to the Tiecang people holding whips, Tie Jinjue asked, “You just said that something happened on your way. What was it?”

That subordinate of Tie Wandao said: “This matter…”

He hesitated for a moment and then said, “Anyway, I can’t escape the clan leader’s eyes. Sooner or later, the clan leader will see me like this. I might as well tell it. This matter is too strange! If I don’t tell it, I feel it’s dangerous!”

When Tie Jinjue heard him say “too weird”, he somehow thought of the things related to magic that he had heard before.

The subordinate of Tie Wandao said, “There was a landslide in Tiecangting. I passed by that place and came here. When I walked there, I suddenly felt the ground slip and I fell heavily.”

“A slip?” Tie Jinjue asked, “Is there something on the ground there?”

“I looked around to see if there was anything on the ground that could make someone slip, but there really wasn’t anything!” Tie Wandao’s subordinate replied, “The ground wasn’t smooth at all. Logically speaking, even if I fell, it shouldn’t have been because I slipped!”

“You must have fallen because of ‘slipping’?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“Absolutely! I was slid out for a distance!” said Tie Wandao’s subordinate. “It was because I clearly felt the slip that I thought the situation was so strange!”

Tie Jinjue asked again: “Did you feel the ground was slippery before you got up?”

“No.” Tie Wandao’s subordinate said, “It was only slippery when I slipped. After I slipped, I didn’t feel it at all. After I slipped, I wanted to stand up, so I touched the ground with my hand, and the ground was really not slippery at all!” At this point, Tie Wandao’s subordinate thought for a while and added, “In fact, when I slipped, I felt like there was something extra on the ground. I always felt that I slipped because of that thing.”

“Did you see that thing after you slipped?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“No.” said the subordinate of Tie Wandao, “The ground seemed normal. Because I thought it was so strange, I really looked at the ground carefully before I got up, and I didn’t find any problems at all. But the feeling that I stepped on something very slippery when I slipped still left a deep impression on me.”

Tie Jinjue said, “Have you looked at the ground since you got up?”

“I’ve seen it.” Tie Wandao’s subordinate said, “The ground is no different. In fact, it was very difficult for me to stand up after I fell. During this process, I lost count of how many times I looked at the ground, but the ground was just like that. I didn’t find anything unusual about it.”

“It was difficult for you to get up. Was it just because you fell so badly, or were there other reasons?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“It was probably because my left hip fell so hard at that time. At first, I tried to stand up again and again, but I couldn’t!” The subordinate of Tie Wandao replied, “I was so anxious! I was afraid that I would delay the task assigned to me by the clan leader!”

“Was there anyone around you when you fell?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“At the moment I fell, there was no one nearby.” said Tie Wandao’s men, “But there was someone a little further away, and that person came over, and it was that person who helped me up.” said Tie Wandao’s men.
