Chapter 2212 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twelve)

“Then can you take some action right now to find out the location of the passage in reality?” Tie Wandao asked.

“Okay.” Li Pingrun said.

“Will it take a long time?” Tie Wandao asked.

“It’s quite long.” Li Pingrun replied.

“Is it okay to perform the ritual in Muxi Pavilion?” Tie Wandao asked again.

“It’s best to do it outside Muxi Pavilion.” Li Pingrun said.

“If someone is watching you while you are performing the ritual, it won’t have any impact, right?” Tie Wandao asked.

“No.” Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao said, “Can I go out and watch you perform the ritual?”

He didn’t want to stay alone in the Muxi Pavilion at night while Li Pingrun was performing the ritual, even though there were many candles lit inside.

“Sure.” Li Pingrun replied.

“Then go outside and perform the ritual immediately.” Tie Wandao said, “I’ll go out and take a look.”

“Okay.” Li Pingrun said.

Then, Li Pingrun extinguished most of the candles in the Muxi Pavilion. Before that, he had already replaced a batch of candles because many of them were almost burned out.

After Tie Wandao and Li Pingrun went out, Li Pingrun performed a ritual at the entrance of Muxi Pavilion.

Tie Wandao knew that there should be no one else at this place at this time, but he still looked around. While Li Pingrun was performing the ritual, Tie Wandao watched him perform it, and he found that although it took a long time, it didn’t seem to make much noise.

After Li Pingrun finished his ritual, he immediately told Tie Wandao: “We have found the passage to reality.”

Tie Wandao asked: “Where is it?”

“It’s in Muxi Pavilion.” Li Pingrun said, “Excuse me, clan leader, does Muxi Pavilion have a basement?”

“Yes.” Tie Wandao replied.

“You can find it in the basement of Muxi Pavilion.” Li Pingrun said.

After Tie Wandao understood, he did not plan to go down with Li Pingrun immediately. He decided to wait until other things were settled before going down. Firstly, it was late at night, and the pink light had appeared before. Going down to check would indeed cause further anxiety, but he really did not want Li Pingrun to see his anxiety. Secondly, since things had not been settled yet, it was better not to let Li Pingrun enter the basement of Muxi Pavilion so early.

Although he decided not to go down immediately, Tie Wandao still wanted to find out the situation clearly.

The two entered the Muxi Pavilion again. After Li Pingrun lit the candles, Tie Wandao asked, “Is that passage sealed now, or is it open?” He thought that the entrance he saw in the basement of the Muxi Pavilion should be the entrance to the place where the remains of the suicide victims were buried. He knew that it was sealed, but he wanted to hear what Li Pingrun had learned through the ritual, so he asked directly.

Li Pingrun said, “It must be sealed. Even if I didn’t do anything just now, I could have guessed it. Because I know that after burying the remains of the suicide, the passage in reality must be sealed, otherwise the soul-solidifying talisman cannot be set directly.”

Tie Wandao asked again: “How do you know that the entrance to the passage was not opened later? Did you know it through magic?”

Li Pingrun said, “It’s not that easy to open a sealed entrance. If the entrance to the passage had been opened by someone, I would have known it when I was performing the ritual just now.”

Tie Wandao said: “If someone gets it open, will it be dangerous?”

“As long as the Soul Consolidation Talisman is set, even if the entrance to the passage is opened, there will be no danger as long as no one moves the relics buried inside out of the passage.” Li Pingrun said, “The entrance to the passage is really difficult to open.”
