Chapter 2236 (Two Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Six) Multilayer

“Is it true that this situation must be sealed?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“Yes. He said he knew that after burying the remains of the suicide, the passage in reality must be sealed, otherwise the Soul-Consolidating Talisman cannot be set directly.” Tie Wandao said, “I also asked him how he knew that the entrance to the passage was not opened by anyone. He said that a sealed entrance is not so easy to open. If it is opened by someone, he will know when he performs the ritual. I also asked him if there would be any danger if the entrance to the passage was opened by someone. He told me that as long as the Soul-Consolidating Talisman has been set, even if the entrance to the passage is opened by someone, there will be no danger as long as no one takes the buried remains out of the passage. He said the entrance to the passage is very difficult to open.”

Tie Jinjue thought: If we want to remove the Soul-Gathering Talisman tomorrow, will it be difficult to accomplish this task at night?

He asked Tie Wandao: “Is it difficult to open? Is it related to magic?”

“You guessed right.” Tie Wandao said, “I asked him what would happen if the tools were good enough and the people were strong enough. He said that it couldn’t be opened directly and required a Taoist priest to perform a ritual. He also told me that this kind of passage is usually sealed in many layers and a Taoist priest needs to perform a ritual to open each layer.”

Tie Jinjue asked: “Did he tell the clan leader how to open it?”

“I told you.” Tie Wandao said, “Some passages can be opened by the Taoist priests with magic, but others may not be opened. It depends on the sealing situation. If someone else locked every layer of the seal other than the Taoist priests, we must find the key.”

Tie Jinjue thought: I wonder what kind of passage Lord Muxi has. Key? Does the clan leader know where the key is? If the key cannot be found, can this be done? Maybe I am overthinking. Since the clan leader said that he would ask the Taoist priest to test whether there are other factors that will affect the removal of the Soul-Gathering Talisman at the hour of Yin tomorrow, and also said that if the Soul-Gathering Talisman can be removed, then he should know where the key is, right? According to the clan leader’s personality, if he does not know where the key is, he will not say those words directly. He cares so much about face. If he cannot find the key at that time, he may not be able to accept it.

Tie Jinjue was just thinking about it when he heard Tie Wandao continue, “I asked him if we couldn’t find the key so we could just chisel open that place or use other methods. He said no, because doing so would be extremely dangerous for the person who opened the passage and might even lose his life.”

Tie Jinjue thought: Why did the clan leader ask this? Was it because he was curious, or because the key was not easy to find? I think it was because of curiosity. If he didn’t know where the key was, with his personality, he wouldn’t say that if he could remove the Soul Strengthening Talisman, he would just remove it.

However, he still wanted to know the situation quickly, so he said to Tie Wandao: “The clan leader must know where the keys are.”

Tie Wandao said: “I have already found it, you can just take it with you when the time comes. I asked the Taoist priest out of curiosity.”

Tie Jinjue felt more at ease after hearing this and thought: That’s good, I hope I can really remove the Soul-Gongling Talisman tomorrow.

After the two of them talked for a while, Tie Wandao told Tie Jinjue that if there was anything that needed to be prepared, they should go to Hongfeng Palace as soon as possible to prepare, and then come to Bakong Palace to find him, and they would set out from Bakong Palace together.

The room where Tie Jinjue and Tie Wandao were located was not the meeting room of Bakong Palace. Tie Wandao had previously agreed with Li Pingrun that he would find him in this room of Bakong Palace when the time came.
