I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 35 Divination Power

After quietly waiting for the old man to say goodbye and leave, Li Qingyun walked forward and called out to Song Ke.

"Boss... why are you here?"

Song Ke didn't expect to see his gang leader here, and asked with some confusion.

Li Qingyun did not answer him, but asked:
"What are you doing? Is there something wrong with the gang?"

Song Ke shook his head:
"No, it was Master Chu who accepted a bounty mission to find someone."

"The youngest son of Mr. Zhu's family in the east city is missing. I'm worried that he was abducted by human traffickers. I'm helping to find him."

Li Qingyun frowned:
"Why didn't they report such a big thing to the police?"

Song Ke grew up at the bottom of society and had no good feelings towards the government. He sneered when he heard this:
"What's the point of reporting to the authorities? Bianliang City is so big, and Kaifeng Prefecture has so many things going on every day. How many people can be sent out to look for it?"

Li Qingyun immediately understood what Song Ke meant. He came from modern society and would subconsciously think of official power when something happened. But this was the feudal Northern Song Dynasty. Who would care about such a small matter? Moreover, the government had limited manpower and it was impossible to conduct a carpet search of the huge city of Bianliang.

In comparison, mobilizing local gangs, which are local tyrants, is obviously more effective. As long as you are willing to spend money, there is no need to worry about them not working hard.

But even so, it is not certain that the child can be found. After all, there are millions of households in Bianliang City, and it is a mixed crowd. It is effortless to hide someone.

Li Qingyun could understand the Zhu family's feelings at the moment after losing their child, and he couldn't even imagine how the child would be tortured if he fell into the hands of a bad person.

He had been planning to go back and catch up on some sleep, and then check on Wei Xiuwen's affairs, but he was not in the mood at the moment.

It’s okay if you don’t know, but since you’ve encountered it, then give a hand.

Alas, I am destined to be a hard worker, soft-hearted and nosy... Li Qingyun sighed and asked Song Ke:

"Do you have any clues?"

Song Ke shook his head:

“I have asked everyone I could, and I have selected thirty people from Luohan Hall to go with Hall Master Chu and the others to look for him, but there is still no news.

"The man just now is a friend of mine. He has contacts with several forces in Wuyou Cave. I wonder if he can find out something."

Li Qingyun nodded:
"Do you have a portrait? Bring it to me."

Song Ke quickly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, adding:

"The child's name is Zhu Chengxi. When he went out to play last night, his two maids became distracted and disappeared. There was no cry or shouting, but the child is not young anymore, it is impossible for him to run around without making a sound.

"So the Zhu family suspected that there was something wrong with the two maids, but after interrogating them all night, using both soft and hard tactics, they still couldn't get any information out of them. That's why they urgently asked people to search everywhere for them."

Li Qingyun glanced at the portrait and saw a lifelike depiction of a little boy of about six or seven years old. He had a round face and a chubby face, and was very cute.

He asked again:

"Besides this, is there anything else? Like Zhu Chengxi's underwear, or toys or something?"

Song Ke quickly took out a child's underwear and an exquisitely crafted rattle from the bag on his back and said:

"I have a piece of clothing that Zhu Chengxi wears, which I asked for from the Zhu family. I have a friend who has a very powerful hound, and I wanted to ask him to help me find it, but the servants of the Zhu family are very diligent, and they never leave the clothes they have worn overnight. This piece of clothing has just been starched and washed, and the smell on it is very light...

"And this rattle. The Zhu family said it was their young master's favorite thing. Once they find someone, they don't have to waste time going back to report. They just need to shake this little drum and they can lead him back."

Li Qingyun took the two items and waved to Song Ke:

"Okay, give this to me first, I'll find the person later." Song Ke was delighted when he heard this, and his eyes lit up:
"Boss, do you have a way to smell the odor on the clothes?"

Hmm? Who are you calling a dog? Li Qingyun glared at Song Ke fiercely:
"You are the one with the dog nose. Go away and do whatever you need to do."

As he said this, he stuffed the things into his arms and was about to leave.

Song Ke quickly stopped him and said:
"Boss, let me follow you. At least we can have someone to look after us."

Li Qingyun originally did not intend to bring Song Ke along as a burden, so as not to expose his secrets, but then he thought that he was not familiar with Bianliang City, and it would be much easier to do things with this local snake, so he nodded and said:
"I can take you with me, but there are three rules. You have to obey me in everything. Try to talk less and just follow my instructions."

Song Ke had no idea what his gang leader was up to, but he just nodded and agreed anyway.

Li Qingyun smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly held his stomach and said:
"Wait a moment, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet, you wait here, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away, leaving Song Ke standing there in a daze.

……

The public toilets in Bianliang City were well-equipped, and Li Qingyun quickly found a secluded toilet stall. He pinched his nose and closed the wooden door, creating an isolated and secluded space.

Alas, silently chanting that secret name in a place like this, I wonder if it would be considered a violation of the mysterious world's rule of "do not blaspheme God"... Li Qingyun pinched his nose, feeling uneasy.

Of course, he came here not to really solve Wu Gu Lun Hui's personal problem, but to find a convenient and private place to use his magical powers to find someone.

He is now a second-level "Insighter" and possesses the "divination" power bestowed by the gods. He can glimpse the secrets of heaven and deduce the past and the future. The more complete the information he provides and the more blood and energy he sacrifices, the more detailed the divination results will be.

At the moment, Li Qingyun has enough energy and blood, and he knows Zhu Chengxi's name and appearance, and even has his underwear and favorite toys, which is enough for him to deduce the secrets.

He let out a long breath, then held his breath and looked at the faint pupil mark on his arm. He closed his eyes and began to meditate. He imagined the image of the little boy in the painting and silently said to himself:

"Zhu Chengxi's current condition..."

boom!
The "divination" magical power was activated at will, and the surroundings suddenly became ethereal and illusory. Li Qingyun found that he had returned to the majestic and grand temple.

As his blood and energy were sacrificed, the huge gray eyeball beside him, carried by the gray fog, began to rotate continuously. The runes composed of dense blood vessels on it also lit up one by one. After a moment, an extremely real scene was projected around Li Qingyun.

At dusk, in the quiet courtyard, a chubby, round-faced little boy was squatting on the ground, teasing a skinny black cat with his chubby little hands. The black cat licked the food in his hands, occasionally making low purring sounds.

There were two young maids who were looking after children in the yard. At this moment, they were standing aside, chatting about trivial matters with a lazy look on their faces, and chuckling from time to time with their hands covering their mouths.

At this moment, the shadow in the corner gradually distorted, revealing a strange, tall and thin man. His face was hidden in the darkness, revealing only a pair of red eyes. His expression was dim and slightly dull.

The weirdo held a hexagonal windmill in his hand and shook it gently towards the little boy. The windmill turned with the wind, making a low humming sound.

When the little boy saw the windmill, a trace of confusion and longing flashed in his eyes. He dropped the black cat in front of him, slowly stood up, and walked towards the red-eyed monster in a daze.

The strange man stretched out his skinny hand, handed the windmill to the little boy, and whispered something in his ear.

The little boy followed the strange man into the depths of the shadows without any warning.

After a moment, the surrounding scenery distorted, and the two people disappeared, and the courtyard returned to peace.

The black cat was watching all this, and suddenly, as if it felt an instinctive threat, it hunched its body, its green eyes stood up, its hair stood up, and it made a "hissing" sound that lasted for a long time.

The two maids were still immersed in their idle chat, turning a blind eye to all this, as if nothing had happened...
