I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 72 Han Tianjin's Reasoning
Fang Shuan said, and then looked at Wei Xiuwen:
"Brother Wei, has that old immortal never asked anything of you other than giving you advice over the years? Even the smallest thing counts. Sometimes, the little things or matters that you think are insignificant can be turned into treasures by cultivators at a higher level."

Wei Xiuwen shook his head:
"For so many years, he has only given me revelations and never asked for any reward. Sometimes I wonder if I should pray to him and offer him some tributes, but I don't know his name, so I can't worship him. I can only wait for him to come to me in my dreams."

As he spoke, he sighed deeply, "Alas, actually I am a believer in Tianmu, and I shouldn't believe in other gods, but that old god really helped me a lot..."

If there really is such a selfless god, please give me a dozen... Li Qingyun muttered to himself, and suddenly heard Han Tianjin's muffled voice say:
"Mr. Wei, could it be that any of your ancestors have attained enlightenment and become gods? From what they say, it seems like they are anxious for you to get married, have children, and reproduce the next generation..."

Han Ersha, no, what Han Erge said makes a lot of sense... Li Qingyun glanced at Han Tianjin and saw that his belly was bulging, with a silly smile on his face and meat residue at the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had eaten a lot at the banquet just now.

But if you think about it carefully, what he said is to the point. The old immortal has only appeared a few times in the past few decades, but every time he helped Wei Xiuwen to continue the family line, whether it was marrying a wife, having children, or even saving Wei Jizu's life. Wasn't it all for the same purpose?

Once we put ourselves in the shoes of our ancestors who wished their descendants to have many children and good fortune, everything can be explained.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Wei Xiuwen, but heard him say:

"That... maybe, but our Wei family has been engaged in farming for generations, and I have never heard of any remarkable people coming out of them..."

Fang Shuan smiled and said:
"That may not be the case. The thoughts of a cultivator at a high level are hard to predict. Maybe he doesn't want to recognize you."

As he said that, he patted Han Tianjin on the back and said, "Great, Second Uncle, your brain is not much worse than mine. You deserve to be ranked second among the Five Young Heroes."

Han Tianjin laughed proudly:

"Of course. Xiao Liangzi often asks me to give him advice. He asks me what I want to eat every night..."

Are you being asked to give me some advice? Li Qingyun almost laughed out loud, but he had to admit that Han Tianjin's unique perspective on things could sometimes really help, so he flattered him a few times and then asked Wei Xiuwen:

"Old Wei, do you know what the sorcerer who taught you the ritual looks like? How did you get in touch with him?"

Wei Xiuwen shook his head:
"I don't know. I went to the trade fair. During the free trade phase at the end, before I could ask around, I met a man who claimed to be a shaman practitioner. Then I got the ritual method without any problems."

Was this witch practitioner arranged in advance? It's a pity that Du Huairen lost control and died. Otherwise, if we knew his identity, we could find out who arranged for him to approach Wei Xiuwen. Li Qingyun thought about it and asked again:
"Did he give you anything, like ritual materials? Can you lend me some?"

He wanted to use divination to restore the ceremony and even find out the identity of the sorcerer.

With his current cultivation level of the second realm, as long as he could collect enough prior information, there was a good chance that he could divine the appearance and location even if the target was a cultivator of the fourth realm.

Of course, for higher realms, the chance of success is very small, and there is even the danger of being noticed by the other party and spying on you.

Wei Xiuwen shook his head:
"All the materials have been used up. The only thing left is a small tripod, which broke into several pieces after the ceremony and can't be glued back together."

Li Qingyun asked:
"Where is it? Let me see it."

Wei Xiuwen quickly dug out a cloth bag from under the bed, opened it and saw that it was a small tripod that had been broken into three pieces.

It was made of bronze and had many strange patterns on it, but it did not contain any aura and seemed to be just an ordinary item used for sacrifices.

Fang Shuan took the small tripod and said:

"We will keep this item for a few days and return it to you once we find out that there is no problem with it. Do you still remember the process of the sacrificial ceremony and the materials for the tribute?"

Wei Xiuwen nodded, took out a pen and paper, wrote down the detailed process of the sacrifice and the required materials, and handed it to Fang Shuan.

Big Head put the record in his arms and said:
"I have nothing more to ask. I will go back and discuss it with my uncle to see if this ritual has any consequences and whether it can be used to save the Zhu family's children." Wei Xiuwen asked doubtfully:

"Master Fang, are there other children suffering from the same strange disease as Jizu?"

Fang Shuan nodded:
"That's right. And this isn't a strange disease. It's an infection caused by an evil spirit. It's quite dangerous. That's why we want to verify the ritual in your hand to see if it can be used to save others."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuwen said with great certainty:

"That old immortal will definitely not lie to me. If I can use the ritual to save people, I believe he will be very happy."

……

The night is as dark as ink, with twinkling stars and crimson moonlight shining on the earth, quiet and mysterious.

Li Qingyun brought Fang Shuan and Han Tianjin to the Wei family residence and asked:
"Do you think Wei Xiuwen is telling the truth?"

Fang Shuan shook his big head and laughed:
"You'd have to ask my uncle Han Er. He's the 'City God' of the incense and fire sect, and he can tell if someone is lying."

Can the practitioners of the incense and fire sect actually identify lies?

Li Qingyun was surprised and glad that he did not lie to Mu Guiying before, otherwise he would be exposed on the spot and would have greatly offended Tianbo Mansion.

Han Tianjin said in a rough voice:

"His breathing was always steady, and he didn't lie, but his beliefs were a little off."

He can even see through other people's beliefs. He's like a human lie detector... Li Qingyun muttered to himself and said with an excuse:

"That's normal. He is a believer of Tianmu religion, but he took a concubine and had a child. He also believed in other gods. His heart is not sincere at all."

Fang Shuan touched the small tripod in his arms and the paper with the ceremony written on it, and said slowly:

"Even if the old immortal is his ancestor, there are still many suspicious points in this matter. Although Wei Xiuwen did not lie, ordinary people are easily misled and seduced in front of high-level cultivators. What they see and hear may not be the truth. We will take our leave first and go back to ask my fourth uncle to see what he thinks about this matter."

Li Qingyun remembered another thing and said to Fang Shuan:
"Also, I think there is a very likely problem with the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower. Their third in command and their worshiper have successively turned into monsters. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?"

Fang Shuan shook his big head and snorted:

"You'd better not get involved in this matter."

Li Qingyun said curiously:
"What do you mean? Is there anything that Kaifeng Prefecture dare not intervene in?"

Fang Shuan sneered:

"Do you know the identity of that 'Master Yu'?"
