I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 91: The Name of the God
Mrs. Wei gave instructions for everything, then she raised her hand lightly, and boundless darkness immediately enveloped the dream world.

The next second, Li Qingyun woke up in his bed again. He still subconsciously touched his side, and after touching the cold Evil-Breaking Scabbard, he confirmed that he had returned to reality from his dream.

It turns out that Madam Wei is a practitioner of witchcraft, and her level seems to be quite high... Li Qingyun muttered in his heart.

Finally, he had a chance to get rid of Qiu Wang. He felt as if there were seventeen or eighteen little mice crawling in his heart. He was nervous and excited. He could no longer sleep. He simply got up from the bed, sat at the table, holding his chin, and began to think carefully.

Let's first assume that what Mrs. Wei said is true, then the altar for receiving the gods is in one of the four secret caves in Wuyou Cave. As long as we find the right place and choose the right time, we can discover Qiu Wang's trace, trap him and kill him.

The difficulty in implementing this method lies in how to accurately determine which cave the altar is in.

According to Mrs. Wei, they only have one chance. Once Qiu Wang finds out that he is being targeted, he will definitely redesign everything, or even stop and lie dormant. It will be difficult to kill him then.

This is a huge flaw that can only be solved through a lot of advance investigation and speculation, and it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

But for Li Qingyun, it was not a problem because he had the ability of divination. As long as he got enough clues and information, he could determine the true location of the altar and even infer the time when Qiu Wang appeared.

However, this is his secret and also his biggest trump card at this stage, so naturally he has to hide it from Mrs. Wei, who he doesn't know whether she is an enemy or a friend.

Therefore, Li Qingyun did not give her a direct reply, but deliberately said that he would report to Kaifeng Prefecture.

In this way, after successfully destroying the altar and killing Qiu Wang in the future, he can push all the unclear things onto the masters in the court and clear himself, and Madam Wei will not know that divination played a key role in it.

Next, Li Qingyun followed this line of thought and silently thought of several different plans in his mind, and used the "premonition" method to predict the results one by one.

The final results were either "moderately bad" or "very bad". In short, every plan was fraught with crisis.

However, no danger could be compared to that of a fourth-level spiritual practitioner whose whereabouts were erratic and who wanted to trigger a divine attack to massacre the city at any time, especially since Qiu Wang had tried to take his life more than once.

After much consideration, Li Qingyun decided to seize this opportunity, even if it meant taking some risks.

He strengthened his belief, put all his fears and hesitations behind him, exhaled a breath of relief, stood up and pushed open the window.

The night is as dark as ink, and the cool night breeze blows towards you, carrying a faint scent of flowers.

Outside the window, the shadows of the trees swayed in the silence, with the occasional cry of an owl whispering the secrets of the night...

……

At the same time, in a courtyard of the Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen, the crimson moonlight cast mottled shadows through the branches and leaves, moving with the wind like pieces of flames, twisting and swaying on the ground.

Inside the room, the faint light of an oil lamp illuminated an antique desk, on which were scattered several heavy books and an unopened scroll of calligraphy and painting.

Fenzidu Lu Zhen sat alone at the table, staring intently at the book in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The deep and rich sound of the drum came, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred, like a ghost looming in the darkness.

Hearing the drumbeats, Lu Zhen seemed to have received some kind of irresistible call. He slowly stood up and walked slowly and solemnly to the other side of the room. He lit two candles on the small table in the corner and placed them three inches and seven points apart. He took out three incense sticks, lit them with candlelight, and inserted them into the incense burner on his side.

The two candles and the incense burner form a perfect triangle.

The candlelight flickered, the incense smoke curled, the light and shadow danced in his eyes, reflecting an unspeakable mystery.

Suddenly, Lu Zhen began to recite in a low voice. The ancient and obscure syllables echoed in the air with a strange power that made people feel awe.

His voice was sometimes high-pitched and sometimes dull, as if he was praying for something to some unknown existence.

As he recited, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped and an indescribable chill filled the air.

Suddenly, the candle flame shot up more than three feet high, with an emerald green light, illuminating distorted shadows on the wall, as if countless faces emerged in the darkness, and faint whispers seemed to be responding to Lu Zhen's prayers.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen prostrated himself on the ground and, like an ordinary person praying to a deity, he devoutly recited the name of the deity:
"The faceless immortal who has no form, no beginning, no end, and is eternal and immortal..."

……

Early the next morning, Li Qingyun got up and went to Kaifeng Prefecture, ready to find Bai Yunrui to discuss the actions of Wuyou Cave.

But as soon as he arrived at the yamen, he saw Xu Liang rushing in from outside, carrying a large gold-threaded ring knife on his back, his official uniform covered in blood.

Behind him, there was a group of soldiers, at least thirty or forty people, escorting a large number of prisoners to the yamen.

Li Qingyun immediately asked:
"Brother Xu, what happened?"

Seeing him looking at his blood-stained clothes, Xu Liang waved his hand and said:

"Don't mention it. Yesterday, I led a group of people to raid a place where monsters were raised. Those bastards actually fed the monsters with human blood and medicinal herbs mixed with all kinds of filthy things, controlled them to go crazy and mutate, and then sold them for money. It's simply outrageous.

"They even gave it a name, something like 'Dragon Transformation Pond'. Those bastards tried to resist, but the Shanxi people slaughtered a few of them. This is all their blood. I'm fine."

I see. But isn’t raising monsters the business of Jinfengxiyu Tower? Li Qingyun thought of the “monster raising case” that Jiang Ping mentioned yesterday morning, and was surprised at the speed with which Xu Liang solved the case.

He did not doubt the White Eyebrow Hero's level of case handling and investigative capabilities, but based on his understanding, the person behind the Golden Wind and Rain Tower was Pang Yu from the Grand Tutor's Mansion. How could he be wiped out so easily?

Moreover, he had also tried to divine the location of the "Dragon Pool" and found that the location had been hidden by someone with great powers who had interfered with the secrets there.

Even his own divination skills could not determine the location of the Dragon Pond, so how did Xu Liang find it so quickly?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Xu San, how did you find out the location of the breeding monster so quickly?"
