Chapter 2245 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Forty Five) Twelve

Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinjue, “Go in and take a look first, then come out and tell me. I’ll listen to your opinion.”

Tie Jinjue thought: He asked me to go in first, could it be that he has some concerns? Or, does he want to do something outside? Never mind that, the clan leader may have his own ideas, he didn’t tell me directly, so I won’t ask directly. Since he asked me to go in and take a look, I will go in and take a look first.

After Tie Jinjue entered the Muxi Pavilion, he looked around and felt that it was bright enough there.

Li Pingrun saw Tie Jinjue go in alone. He didn’t know what Tie Wandao was doing outside and was a little curious, but he didn’t ask too much. He just asked Tie Jinjue if he thought it was bright enough.

Tie Jinjue didn’t know whether Tie Wandao would think it was bright enough, so he didn’t answer Li Pingrun’s question directly. He thought it was not appropriate for him to directly tell Li Pingrun that it was bright enough and that there was no need to light more candles. Tie Jinjue thought that if Tie Wandao came in and said it was not bright enough, and knew that Tie Jinjue had told Li Pingrun that it was bright enough, Li Pingrun might worry that Tie Jinjue would not be satisfied with his approach when he added candles according to Tie Wandao’s opinion.

Tie Jinjue didn’t want Li Pingrun to feel nervous, so he just said to Li Pingrun: “Thank you for your hard work in making the place brightly lit.”

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door of Muxi Pavilion.

Tie Wandao asked Tie Jinjue: “What do you think?”

Tie Jinjue said: “I think it is bright enough, but I haven’t told the Taoist priest that it is bright enough. After all, the clan leader hasn’t said it yet. I don’t know if the clan leader will think it is bright enough by then.”

Tie Wandao said: “Didn’t you feel anything unusual after entering?”

“I don’t think so.” Tie Jinjue answered. He thought: Why would the clan leader ask this? The reason why he didn’t go in immediately was because he was worried that something unusual would happen after he went in?
Tie Wandao looked at Tie Jinjue carefully and felt that he was still the same after he went in and out, and was not affected at all. He also remembered that Li Pingrun was also normal after he went in and out before, so he felt that it should be safe to go in like this. Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinjue: “Let’s go in.”

After the two entered Muxi Pavilion, Tie Wandao was about to close the door of Muxi Pavilion when he suddenly thought of a question and asked Li Pingrun: “If I close the door of Muxi Pavilion from the inside, will the door suddenly become unopenable? Then we will be trapped inside.”

“It’s not impossible to open it.” Li Pingrun said, “You won’t be trapped inside, please rest assured, Chief.”

“What if someone is performing some magic on the door of Muxi Pavilion from a distance?” Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said, “Patriarch, I have just used a spell to protect the door of Muxi Pavilion. Within twelve hours, even if someone else uses a spell to protect the door of Muxi Pavilion again, that spell will not work.”

Tie Wandao felt relieved after hearing this, then he thought of something else and asked, “Doesn’t the person who performed the ritual know that his magic didn’t work on the door of Muxi Pavilion?”

“Yes, there is no way to know.” Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao said: “What if the person who performed the ritual has never received the Pure Land?”

Li Pingrun said, “It’s the same. Regardless of whether the person who performs the magic has received the Huanshi or not, there is no way for him to know the situation of the door of Muxi Pavilion through the magic from a distance. Not only that, if someone performs the magic on the door of Muxi Pavilion, although it will not work, the situation felt by the person who performs the magic within these twelve hours will be the same as if the magic has worked.”
