Chapter 2529 (two thousand five hundred and twenty-nine) Someone
Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun as if nothing had happened: "Tell me, will this thunderstorm cause all the candles I lit to go out?"
Li Pingrun was very surprised as to why he asked this, and said, "Chief, my experience is limited. I have never seen such a situation."
"What if after a thunder, all the candles here are extinguished?" Tie Wandao asked.
Li Pingrun said: "All the candles are extinguished? If this is the case, it should have nothing to do with Lei. Someone can do it to cause all the candles to be extinguished."
"How?" Tie Wandao seemed to suddenly think: Could someone be doing the magic that day? But there was no one doing the Dharma where I was at that time, and even if the Dharma was being practiced, it was somewhere else. How could it cause all the candles to be extinguished if the Dharma was performed so far away?
Tie Wandao then asked Li Pingrun: "If you do it not close to this room, can you make all the candles in this room go out?"
Li Pingrun said: "Yes."
"Is this because your skills are high?" Tie Wandao said.
"It has something to do with the level of practice, but many other alchemists can also do it." Li Pingrun said.
Tiewan Dao asked: "Isn't it necessary to use your method of magic?"
"You can use many methods of magic." Li Pingrun said.
Tiewan Dao thought: But, what happened that day, it couldn't be that someone was doing candles in the place where I was in the distance! What's the point of giving me the candles there if they cause them to go out? No one else showed up again that day. If someone wanted to steal, it would be useful to call in a magician to extinguish the candles, but in fact nothing happened after that day. Could it be that someone was doing something else, but it was not aimed at the candles in the place where I was at that time, but it affected the candles and caused those candles to go out?
Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun: "If an alchemist practices a magic trick on candles in a place to extinguish all the candles there, what is the purpose?" Li Pingrun said: "Actually, I have never seen anyone take the initiative to give candles elsewhere. The practice of candles in one place causes all the candles there to go out.”
Tie Wandao asked: "Then how did you think so quickly just now that 'someone can do something that can cause all the candles to go out'? It was all based on your own thinking?"
Li Pingrun said: "Patriarch, someone does a trick that can indeed cause all the candles to go out, and it is not necessarily a trick for the candles."
Tie Wandao thought for a moment and said, "You mean, someone else's actions for other reasons affected the candles in another place and caused all the candles in that place to go out?"
"Exactly." Li Pingrun said.
"What spell caused such a situation?" Tie Wandao asked.
"Many spells can do it." Li Pingrun said, "Some spells can also make a candle that has been extinguished in another place light up again!"
Tie Wandao said: "Isn't this considered a practice from a distance?"
"Yes." Li Pingrun replied.
"You just said, 'It is more difficult to apply magic to a place from a distance, and more skills are used, and it is easy to make mistakes in the process.' I would like to know, if a person does not want to apply magic to a candle elsewhere, But it caused all the candles there to go out, so when the candles there went out, the person who did it would have to spend a lot of effort, right?" Tie Wandao asked.
"The general situation is like this." Li Pingrun said, "But the practitioner is using these skills to achieve other goals, so it doesn't feel like a pity."
