I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 47 Yesterday Reappears
The mysterious woman gently turned her wrist, allowing the golden tablet to rotate slightly between her fingers. Soft light and shadows kept flowing on its surface, changing constantly, exuding a primitive and ancient atmosphere.

If you look closely, you can see that there seem to be some strange and abstract runes and patterns carved on it, but it is shrouded by an inexplicable power of fear, making people dare not look directly at it.

After a moment, the woman held up the golden tablet, showed it to everyone, and said loudly:
"I want to buy similar gold tablets, or if you have relevant clues, I'm fine. You can name your price."

As soon as the three words "open it casually" came out, everyone present was excited and looked around curiously to see which lucky person would take out what the woman wanted and get a huge reward.

But after half a day, still no one answered, not even a clue.

To some extent, this also illustrates the power and authority of Xuanwu Pavilion. No one dares to make up clues here to cheat people.

Of course, this kind of thing has happened before, but the people who spread the rumors usually suffer a miserable fate, so now no one dares to take shortcuts and speak nonsense.

Seeing that no one answered, the woman put the golden tablet away again. She behaved calmly throughout the whole process, as if it was natural not to receive the message and she did not feel disappointed at all.

But just as she was about to step down, Li Qingyun suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"Wait, I have a clue..."

……

As soon as the woman took out the golden tablet, Li Qingyun's face hidden under the mask turned pale with surprise and shock.

The exact same golden tablets had appeared in the nightmare that woke him up last night. There were four of them in total, each accompanied by a terrifying wild beast, which was terrifying.

Although the specific details of the golden tablet in front of me are not clear, the ancient feeling from the ancient times is exactly the same as in the dream, without any falsehood.

Moreover, he vaguely felt the familiar breath contained in it, as if it was connected to his own blood, like a whisper in the darkness, murmuring, shouting, and begging him to return to a long-distant home, a long-forgotten homeland.

The voice was intermittent, like the night wind blowing past his ears, making him feel a deep loneliness and an irresistible call.

At that moment, Li Qingyun felt the blood in his body boiling, every cell was eagerly responding to the anticipation of that breath, and he even had an inexplicable, deep sense of belonging.

This unfounded, instinctive feeling made him extremely uneasy, so he called out to the woman, wanting to find out something from her, but he had no specific plan.

This was very unlike Li Qingyun's usual cautious and prudent style, but the incident happened suddenly and he had no choice.

"Do you have a clue?"

The woman nodded to Li Qingyun, her tone very satisfied, "Ask Shopkeeper Du to prepare a room, and come with me."

This was obviously not the first time Du Huairen had dealt with such a matter. He quickly arranged for someone to prepare a secluded room in the inner courtyard and invited the two men to go in for a detailed discussion.

Li Qingyun watched Du Huairen's attitude coldly. Seeing that he was very respectful to the woman, he couldn't help but become more curious about this man's identity.

After entering the house, the woman closed the door and said bluntly:

"If you have any clues, you can tell me now. As long as your words are meaningful, I will be able to tell whether they are true or false."

Li Qingyun shook his head and said calmly:
"Let's talk about the reward first."

His heart was already surging with anxiety, and he couldn't wait to uncover the clues and satisfy his desire to spy on the golden tablet.

However, he suppressed this desire and tried to act as if he was negotiating only for the reward so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

The woman laughed softly:
"Okay, what do you want?"

Li Qingyun deliberately swallowed his saliva and said greedily:
"Five hundred taels of silver." He actually wanted to ask the woman to exchange it for a precious sword, but he was afraid that the other party would be able to infer his identity based on the weapon in the future, so he simply said that he wanted to exchange it for silver.

The woman nodded:

"I can promise you two hundred taels. As long as you have substance and satisfy me, five hundred taels is certainly not a problem. But if you deceive me with false information, hehe..."

She sneered, the threat in her voice was self-evident.

Li Qingyun pretended to think for a while before saying:
"Deal! Let me ask you first, do you have four golden tablets in total?"

The woman's body stiffened visibly, and she murmured:
"Are there four in total?"

Ok?
You don’t even know this... Li Qingyun couldn't help but glance at the woman, and suddenly realized that she might know even less, and he might not be able to get any clues from her.

But he was not depressed at all. He pretended to be happy and said:

"This one is not free, it's two hundred taels."

The woman nodded:
"That's fair. Please keep telling me what else you know. I can add money for each one."

Li Qingyun hesitated for a moment, thought about it and said:
"I have some clues about the pattern above, but you have to show me the golden tablet first."

The woman did not hesitate at all. She immediately took out the golden tablet from her sleeve and handed it to Li Qingyun.

"Tell me everything you know."

Li Qingyun took the golden tablet. When his fingertips touched it, he suddenly felt as if yesterday was happening again, a sense of déjà vu. His heart beat wildly involuntarily, almost jumping out of his throat.

He suppressed his restless emotions, gently stroked the golden tablet, and slowly felt the peace of mind.

When he looked at it carefully again, he saw that it was covered with strange and mysterious abstract symbols, forming an extremely weird pattern. Those symbols seemed to be constantly changing, difficult to describe and indescribable. His eyes only lingered on it for a moment, and a vague image of a huge monster emerged in his mind.

It has a huge, ferocious head, its face is covered with densely packed eyes, and its mouth, which occupies most of its head, opens and closes exaggeratedly. Its mouth is full of sharp fangs, flashing a cold light.

Its body was twisted and covered with various lines and symbols, each of which exuded a terrible aura of brutality, greed, fear and destruction.

At the same time, all kinds of knowledge also entered Li Qingyun's mind, gathering into complicated and confusing information, which made him feel like a splitting headache.

The more Li Qingyun looked at it, the more frightened he became, but he couldn't look away. He just felt that the feeling brought by this golden tablet was so familiar. It was actually very similar to the aura of the gray fog in the ancient temple he occupied.

Could it be that this golden tablet is related to that unspeakable secret existence?

Because I am His agent, I feel familiar with the above patterns and symbols, and can absorb the knowledge contained in them and visualize specific images?
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a silver bell-like voice, filled with shock and horror:
"You can actually gaze at the pattern on this golden tablet?"

Li Qingyun looked up suddenly and saw the woman staring at him with eyes as fast as lightning and full of terrible oppression.

"How is it possible that you don't feel any pain, nor do you lose control or go crazy?

"Who are you..."
