Chapter 2945 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Five)

“There was a landslide in Tiecang Court before, and a man in blue armor passed away. If I don’t use that time to cooperate with Li Fangshi to prevent Tiecang Court from being in danger, then by then there may be more landslides in Tiecang Court, and not just limited to them.” Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue was startled and frowned as he asked, “When did the ground collapse happen? Where did it happen?”

Tie Hongyan told him the time and place.

When Tie Jinjue heard that the location was not far from the Qixing Zuiren Pavilion, his heart ached.

Tie Jinjue asked Tie Hongyan what happened to the sinkhole.

Tie Hongyan told Tie Jinjue what Tie Wandao had told her, and she made it clear before she spoke that it was Tie Wandao who told her.

Tie Jinjue was worried after hearing this and asked, “So only if you practice the Yin Qian Gong and cooperate with Li Fangshi, can you prevent the danger from happening?”

“That’s right.” Tie Hongyan said.

“When you and Wu Xunsheng were practicing the Yin Qian Gong today, how did you feel about your physical condition?” Tie Jinjue asked again.

“I have always been in good health.” Tie Hongyan said, “Please rest assured, uncle, there is nothing wrong with my body.”

Tie Jinjue said, “When you were telling me about the process just now, you mentioned several times that Li Fangshi’s reactions were not normal, but that was what the clan leader told you and you told me. I want to ask, did he encounter any abnormal phenomena while teaching you the Yin Qian Gong? Tell me what you saw in person.”

“It also appeared.” Tie Hongyan said.

“Why does he seem abnormal?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“After the two of us entered the practice room, Master Li appeared at the agreed time, but he seemed to have something on his mind,” said Tie Hongyan.

“What happened next?” Tie Jinjue asked. “After we greeted each other, I asked him about the martial arts he was learning. After Li Fangshi told me what my father had told him about learning martial arts from us, he also said something else. I think the way he spoke was obviously different from before.” Tie Hongyan said.

“Why is it different?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“I still feel that he is worried about something, but I can’t tell what it is about,” said Tie Hongyan.

“Did you let him know that you thought he was weird?” Tie Jinjue asked again.

“Probably not.” Tie Hongyan said, “I was very careful to control my behavior at that time. I believe he won’t think I noticed something strange about him now.”

“Didn’t you ask him what happened?” Tie Jinjue asked again.

“I did think about asking something at that time, but I felt that asking directly would be too abrupt, so I decided to spend more time with him before deciding whether to ask or not,” said Tie Hongyan.

Tie Jinjue asked: “How did he teach you martial arts?”

Tie Hongyan said: “Prepare first. He took out a book with the words ‘Yin Qian Gong’ written on the cover as preparation. Later, he opened the book and watched the use of magic, passing on the essence of the book to us through the practice. While performing the ritual, he could also make some important movements and say some words related to practicing that kung fu.”

Tie Jinjue asked: “You think Li Fangshi is abnormal, what about Wu Xunsheng, does he also think Li Fangshi is abnormal?”

“He felt it too.” Tie Hongyan said.

“How did you know?” Tie Jinjue asked, “He wouldn’t tell you directly in front of Li Fangshi, right?”

“He didn’t tell me in front of Li Fangshi.” Tie Hongyan said, “We were far away from Li Fangshi at that time.”
