I survive in the weird Liaozhai

After the figure of Taoist Qi Yuan completely disappeared, Gu Nian'an strode to the side of Manager Song with coldness in his eyes.

"Manager Song, can we chat?"

Without waiting for Manager Song to speak, Gu Nian'an grabbed his wrist and strode to the blood-red coffin.

Song Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young man beside him, then looked at the blood-red coffin that was so close at hand, and felt a little shocked and angry.

"Master Nian An, are you threatening me?

We in the Li family follow the rules when doing things. We gave the money, three thousand taels, which is enough to buy many lives.

You didn't get the job done, and I didn't blame you at all.

So why is Daoist Master Nian An looking for trouble with me now?"

Ha! Can we only say that he is worthy of being trained by a big family? With danger in front of him, he has no fear at all. His mental quality is definitely good.

"It's not a threat, just a simple inquiry. I just think this place is more convenient for us to have a calm and frank conversation.

Gu Nian'an would not choose to indulge someone who causes trouble for her.

Song Qingshan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then spread his hands helplessly.

"Ask me what you want to know. I will tell you everything I know. But Master Nian'an, you should also understand that I am just a servant of the Li Mansion and I know very little. I hope you can understand that."

This is really flawless. He blocked a lot of topics before I even opened my mouth. What a difficult character.

“Who is in the coffin?”

"Li Yu, the only son of the current head of the Li family"

"Why did you die?"

"Sudden death from long-term tuberculosis"

"Mr. Song, where is the real person in charge?"

“No comment”

………Well, there is no need to ask further. There is not a single truth?

Although the coffin was not opened, he could still distinguish between male and female voices. Could it be that the head of the Song family could not even tell whether the baby he gave birth to was a boy or a girl?

As for sudden death from tuberculosis, it is nonsense. If a person who died of normal illness could have such a degree of abnormality, the world would have been full of evil spirits and in chaos.

Another question is what the real Li family is like.

At this funeral, no one from the Li family showed up from beginning to end. There was only a steward in charge throughout the whole process.

Is this…normal?

Everything seems strange, but the only person at the scene who might know the truth doesn't tell the truth.

This is really like a mouse biting a turtle but having no place to bite!!!

Gu Nian'an narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Last question

"Why choose us? Qingyang Temple is small and has few people. It is not well-known. With your Li family's influence and strength in the entire Anyang County, it is easy for you to find a better temple."

"And as long as you are willing to pay a price, it shouldn't be difficult to find some capable people to solve this matter."

"So, why us?"

After saying this, Gu Nian'an slightly bent his hands, gradually tensed his muscles, and his eyes became more dangerous.

Ha! Do you really think he has no temper? If the person on the other side dares to say "no comment" again, he will immediately press his head on the coffin.

Perhaps sensing Gu Nian'an's malicious intent, Song Qingshan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before answering.

"I am just a servant. I will only do what the master tells me to do. I don't know anything else."

I understand. Someone from the Li family wants to kill the old Taoist priest.

It's just that I don't know who it could be. But it doesn't matter. There are only a few heads of the Li family who can really take charge of things. Once I find them, I'll visit them one by one. If that doesn't work, I'll just kill them all.

For an ancient noble family like this, what can we say? If we kill them all, there might be some innocent people.

But if 80% of them are killed, there will definitely be some that slip through the net. The original accumulation cannot be so clean.

Besides, Gu Nian'an is not a good person. Not everyone can touch his reverse scale. If you touch it lightly, it may result in death.

But I have to ask Taoist Qi Yuan later, did he steal someone's wife or dig up someone's ancestral grave? Why is he so hateful that they have to torture him to death?

After answering Gu Nian'an's question, Song Qingshan bowed.

"If you have no other questions, Taoist Nian'an, I still have to go and arrange other matters in the mansion. Besides, this place is really gloomy and cold. I, an ordinary person, cannot stand it."

Looking at Manager Song, whose lips were pale and his face was slightly blue, Gu Nian'an did not make things difficult for him.

So he also bowed and returned the greeting, "Manager Song has something to do, so please do as you please, and don't bother with me."

"By the way, Manager Song, if possible, could you find me a knife for self-defense?"

"It's a small matter. I'll ask my servant to send it to Taoist Nian An later." After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Watching Manager Song walking away, Gu Nian also moved a little away from the coffin. The area around this thing was really cold and gloomy.

But! It's a bit strange to say, but he doesn't hate this cold feeling.

It was not until 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon that Taoist Qi Yuan, sweating profusely, hurriedly reentered Li's residence. When he saw Gu Nian'an sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, the Taoist hurried over.

"Everything has been arranged for Miss Caixi. Shopkeeper Wu will help take care of her. Steward Song has also arranged for someone to go over there. What's the situation on your side now?"

Gu Nian'an saw the old Taoist approaching and stood up from the ground.

"Master, everything is fine here. Is there something you want to deal with that you rushed over here in such a hurry?"

"I do have some ideas, but they can only be implemented at noon tomorrow. I came here to ask Manager Song to move the coffin into the house. If that doesn't work, we have to build a shed.

If the owner of the coffin absorbs the moonlight at night, the situation might get even worse."

"Master, there's no rush for this. Can I ask you something? Why did the funeral turn out like that today? It's not right for someone of your level."

Alas! The old Taoist priest sighed.

Somewhat helplessly shook his head

"I really don't know what to say about this matter. Anyway, this Li family has been weird from beginning to end."

"Today, as soon as I entered the Li Mansion, I was arranged to rest in the side room. At about noon, I was taken to the inner courtyard by the Li family's servants. The red coffin was placed in the courtyard. Before I could react, Manager Song directly urged me to arrange the funeral."

"I was also a little stunned at the time. I didn't know what they were up to."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a funeral without setting up a mourning hall, an offering table, or arranging rituals, and just going straight to the funeral."

"But this is their own request, so I can't say much."

"But when I came to my senses and looked at the red coffin carefully, I was also shocked. That... is not a red coffin at all. It is clearly a black coffin, a black coffin soaked with blood."

"And if I'm not mistaken, it's very likely infected by black dog blood."

"Also, the material of the coffin was not right. At first, I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but later I touched it and found that the coffin was made of peach wood. It was made of old peach wood spliced ​​together."

"The craftsman who made the coffin was also an expert. The entire coffin was spliced ​​together with wooden buckles. Even the coffin lid and the coffin body were connected with buckles to fit tightly together."

"But that thing is also very evil. I only got a brief moment of use out of it, and in that short moment I was freezing cold."

"At that time, I felt that something was wrong with the coffin, and I tried to communicate with Manager Song."

"But they refused to listen and insisted on holding the funeral immediately. As soon as they walked out of the gate, the ropes for carrying the coffin broke. The eight men carrying the coffin fell down due to the evil spirit entering their bodies. Then you came. This is what happened."

After listening to the old Taoist's narration, Gu Nian'an felt even more confused.

I really don't understand, are they in such a hurry to send the coffin away?

So what's the point of inviting the Taoist priest here? Is it just a formality to give him three thousand taels of silver?

Oh!!! They are really rich and powerful.

"Master, have you thought about your specific arrangements for tomorrow?"

In fact, Gu Nian'an did have some ideas, but his approach might be a bit rough, and he didn't know if Manager Song could accept it.

If the old way didn't work tomorrow, he planned to get a sturdy carriage, dismantle the roof, and throw the coffin directly on it, using horses to pull it. If one horse didn't work, he would use two, if two didn't work, he would use three. It didn't matter if the horses had problems, the Li family was wealthy anyway, and when the carriage pulled the coffin to the destination, he would kick it down, and everything would be fine.

This method is absolutely simple, crude and efficient.
