I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 83 The past reappears

Bai Yunrui handled the situation, but his expression did not relax at all. Instead, he said in a deep voice:
"The puppet of the Wu Shi Cult has appeared again. I will go back to Fourth Brother Lu to communicate with him and see if I can find some new clues. You guys take a rest and wait for my news, but don't go too far. This matter is not over yet.

"Well, if you're hungry you can go get something to eat, just put it on my account."

After saying this, he turned around and left, dressed in white, without any hesitation.

It has to be said that although "Jade-faced Little Daruma" sometimes seems stubborn and difficult to get along with, he is actually not a bad leader. At least he is very responsible at critical moments, always rushing to the front, and usually very generous to his subordinates.

When Fang Shuan saw Bai Yunrui walking away, he immediately smiled and winked at Han Tianjin and Li Qingyun:
"We have nothing to do here. You haven't had breakfast yet. It's almost noon now. Let's find a good place to eat. Someone's going to treat us!"

Then he looked at Li Qingyun and said, "Brother Qingyun, come with us, but this meal doesn't count. You can't renege on the meal you should have treated me to."

Upon hearing this, the silly big guy Han Tianjin immediately touched his belly and laughed:
"That's great. I'm really hungry. Can I have a steamed bun with a pancake?"

Fang Shuan sneered:
"Look at your lack of ability. Don't you feel choked when you eat steamed buns wrapped in pancakes? Come on, come on, nephew will take you to eat roast beef. It's all you can eat!"

Li Qingyun thought for a moment and said:

"Lao Fang, you and Brother Han go first. I want to stay here and wait for the coroner to come and perform the autopsy."

Fang Shuan smacked his lips:
"Brother Qingyun, you need to fill your stomach before you can handle the case. And if you don't come with us, I won't be able to eat this meal in peace."

Li Qingyun understood what he meant and could only smile helplessly:
"Okay, let's go together."

The three of them found an elegant restaurant. When Fang Shuan called the waiter to serve them, Li Qingyun said again:

"You guys order the food first. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'm going to squat in the toilet for a while."

As Fang Shuan looked at him in confusion, he trotted to the toilet and started fortune-telling...

……

Because the "Soul Devouring" magical power transformed the foul air in the black-robed man's body into blood, Li Qingyun used this to establish some kind of mysterious relationship with him. Even if he didn't know the other person's name, he could use the divination magical power to obtain some information about him before his death.

In a sense, this is similar to the spiritual practice of channeling, but it is much safer because it does not require contact with the spirit of the deceased that has not yet dissipated.

Li Qingyun hid in the deserted toilet, suppressing the disgust in his heart, and carefully outlined the outline of the man in black robe in his mind, while silently reciting:
"The cause of death of the black-clothed deceased in Room No. 3 of Gaosheng Inn..."

Soon, with the help of meditation, he saw a series of hazy, unreal and fragmented pictures.

In the dark cave, there were no windows and no sunlight. There was only the shivering cold wind that kept blowing and making a mournful howl.

In the center of the cave, there was a round table with a small altar made of bones on it. Three incense sticks and a few candles were lit on it. The dim flames flickered in the cold wind, which was particularly creepy. On the altar stood a statue more than two feet tall. Although the upper body was covered with red cloth, it still exuded a creepy and terrifying aura.

Around the altar, there were a dozen puppets of different shapes but equally bizarre placed in scattered locations, with names and corresponding information written on them.

Above each puppet, there is an invisible, transparent figure floating. Their faces are different, but without exception, they are dazed and numb, staring with empty eyes, wandering helplessly in a small range in the air.

Li Qingyun tried hard to see the names on the puppets, but the images were blurry and he could only barely recognize a few.

For example, the second in command of Xuanwu Pavilion, Du Huairen.

……

The man in black robes sat on the mat in front of the altar and said respectfully:
"Lord Divine Envoy, the formation has been formed. Now we only need a powerful enough spirit to start the formal ceremony and allow the souls of these people to find eternal peace."

In front of him stood a dark figure in a large cloak, and from within came a low and soft voice, as if it was a woman:
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your help. The century-old heritage of the Huashan Sect is indeed extraordinary. I originally expected to let these poor souls wander for several months, but I didn't expect that you could actually design such a complicated formation in such a short time. Now it seems that the ceremony can be greatly advanced, and they can return to eternal sleep as soon as possible without having to endure the destruction."

The man in black robe said devoutly:

"The envoy of God is kind and generous, and he has given peace to so many persecuted souls. It is an honor for Liu Changyou to serve you."

The cloaked messenger said calmly:
"When an immortal comes to the world and cleanses it, the world will undergo a huge change, and everything will start all over again. Do you really not consider joining the Wu Shi Sect and serving the Wu Mian Great Immortal? Then you will become an immortal official and gain supreme magical powers?"

The black-robed man who called himself Liu Changyou laughed dryly twice:
"I hope so. However, as a disciple of Huashan, I am blessed by the ancestor and cannot believe in other gods. Otherwise, I will attract his attention and be punished by heaven. Please forgive me, angel of the gods."

A sigh came from the cloak in front of him:
"You know so many secrets of the Wu Shi Sect, and you also ruined Qiu Wang's key plan. Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge? As long as you agree to join the Wu Shi Sect, not only can you get the attention of the immortals, but I can also legitimately send people to protect your safety and deal with Qiu Wang."

Liu Changyou smiled slightly and said fearlessly:
"You are joking, Divine Envoy. Although I have offended Qiu Wang, he is just an insignificant little character at best. Moreover, as you know, all of us Huashan Sect disciples are blessed by our ancestors, and they have left behind soul lamps that are always floating in the narrow sky of Huashan. Once I die, all the records of what I saw and heard at the moment of my death will be sensed by the ancestor Chen Tuan. Qiu Wang is not a fool, so how could he act rashly?
“No matter how strong he is, he is only a spiritual practitioner at the fourth level after all. He will never mess with a demigod at the Return to Void level just because of a nobody like me.”

The envoy chuckled:
“Of course, I am just talking, and the Wu Shi Sect never forces others. Since you have made up your mind, then it will be as you wish.

"According to the agreement this time, your reward is a big monster's beast essence, as well as other auxiliary materials needed for the 'Earth Law Foundation Building'. According to the old rules, all of them are hidden under the bed in Room No. 3 of Gaosheng Inn. You can go and get them in person.

“This will be the last deal between us. As long as you overcome the inner demon, you will be a ground-law foundation cultivator from now on, and a breakthrough to the Jindan stage is just around the corner.

"But after you get the things, I advise you to leave Bianliang City immediately, because Qiu Wang is likely to seek to make the Faceless Immortal return to the human world. Once the 'God's Descent' is triggered, a cultivator of the second realm will find it difficult to protect himself."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Liu Changyou showed a greedy smile on his face, which then gradually subsided until he turned fearful:
"Qiu Wang actually wants to bring gods into the human world? Is he crazy?"
