Chapter 2242 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Two)

Tie Wandao felt that if he extinguished the torch, the area would become even darker. If something happened, he might not be able to see clearly, which would be even more dangerous. So he said, “It will be much darker if you extinguish it. Don’t you have to perform your ritual in a dark environment?”

He wanted to take the torch from Li Pingrun, but he felt it was not safe enough to approach him and the door of Muxi Pavilion.

“No.” Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao was about to tell Tie Jinjue to take the torch from Li Pingrun, but before he could say anything, Tie Jinjue walked up to Li Pingrun and said to him, “Give me the torch first.”

Li Pingrun said, “Thank you, Elder Tie, for holding it for me.”

Tie Jinjue said, “It’s just a torch. It doesn’t matter who holds it. Don’t be polite. You still have to perform the ritual. Thank you for the hard work.”

Tie Wandao thought to himself: I was just wanting to ask him to go over and take the torch from Li Pingrun, and he took the initiative to do it, which is exactly what I wanted!

After Tie Jinjue took the torch from Li Pingrun, he walked to Tie Wandao again.

Tie Wandao took the torch that Tie Jinjue had been holding from his hand. In this way, both of them held a torch in one hand.

Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun: “When you perform a ritual, do you need the surroundings to be very quiet?”

“No need.” Li Pingrun said.

“Then I will talk to Elder Tie.” Tie Wandao said.

“Okay, it won’t affect me.” Li Pingrun said. “Begin the ritual!” Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun.

Li Pingrun said “yes” and began to perform the ritual.

Tie Wandao asked Tie Jinjue: “What do you think? Could it be that the person who performed the ritual for Gong Hunyu before found out that someone moved Qi Shuojin into the space where Gong Hunyu was embedded, and performed the ritual again?”

Tie Jinjue said: “After hearing what the Taoist said just now, I feel that this possibility is very high.”

Tie Wandao said: “In other words, this Muxi Pavilion is still being watched by someone?”

Tie Jinjue said, “Since someone would perform a ritual for Gong Hunyu, the person performing the ritual must have a purpose to achieve. Perhaps the fact that Qi Shuojin was moved into the space where Gong Hunyu was embedded yesterday would affect the person performing the ritual for Gong Hunyu in achieving his goal.”

“So the magician performed a ritual for Muxi Pavilion?” Tie Wandao asked, “Then what Hongyan and the others did yesterday wouldn’t be in vain, right?”

Tie Jinjue said: “I feel that it won’t be in vain, it’s just a feeling, in fact, it can be said that it’s just my wish. After moving Qi Shuojin into the space embedded with Gong Hunyu, the space embedded with Gong Hunyu will definitely not continue to expand. That’s what the Taoist said before, right? Is the clan leader worried that someone else’s magic for Muxi Pavilion will affect the effect of moving Qi Shuojin into the space embedded with Gong Hunyu?”

Tie Wandao said: “Yes, please don’t let it affect you.”

Tie Jinjue said, “If they only cast a spell on the door of Muxi Pavilion, then it might not be a big problem. I just don’t know if they cast a spell on other places in Muxi Pavilion. But if they only cast a spell on the door, then what was the reason? Could it be that the person who cast the spell knew that someone went to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion and did something, so he took action to prevent others from going to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion and sealed the door of Muxi Pavilion?”

Tie Wandao said, “Even if it is, I hope to open the door of Muxi Pavilion in a while. As long as we can remove the Gong Hun Talisman today, the people who performed the ritual for Gong Hunyu will be helpless. At that time, Gong Hunyu will not be in Muxi Pavilion, so what can the people who performed the ritual for Gong Hunyu do?”
