I survive in the weird Liaozhai

The Taoist temple is quiet and peaceful, with birds singing.

Early in the morning, Gu Nian'an brought a small stool and sat under an ancient tree in the backyard, staring at his left hand in a trance.

It has been more than half a month since he was injured. He has recovered a lot but still cannot do strenuous exercise.

Taoist Qi Yuan's condition has improved a lot, but he is old after all, and he has injured his vitality this time, so he will probably need to recuperate for a while.

These are all minor problems. Now Gu Nian'an has more difficult problems to solve.

Ever since he rescued Sister Red Coffin from the "White Tiger Corpse Carrying Bureau" last time, he has always had a very special feeling.

It was as if... as if something was transferred from Sister Red Coffin into my own body.

He had tried many methods in the past ten days, but had no clue at first. It was not until this morning that he finally found some clues.

If I concentrate, I seem to be able to pull out some very strange things from my body.

Look, after closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, he saw a silver-white thread, almost as thick as a hair, moving back and forth in his hand.

Gu Nian'an opened his eyes and stared at the thin line running across his hand without blinking.

He had no idea what this thing was.

But he did have some guesses about where this thing came from.

Ever since he got Sister Red Coffin out of the Feng Shui Bureau that day, he could vaguely feel that something seemed to have suddenly appeared in his body.

But the situation was a bit special at that time, so I couldn't check it carefully. Later, I brought Sister Hongguan back to Qingyang Temple, and I was almost 90% disabled.

I've been feeling better these past couple of days, so I made a lot of attempts, and only today did I see some results.

Gu Nian'an clenched his palms, trying to see if he could grab the thin line.

This thing was somewhat like a virtual entity and passed directly through his palm. After trying for a while, it still didn't work.

This thing has no temperature, and there is no smell when I smell it carefully. When I disperse my mind, the thin line disappears. When I concentrate my mind, it reappears. I try back and forth for a long time, but still have no clue.

This thing doesn't seem to be harmful for now.

But the things he obtained from ghosts and monsters, while still inside his body, always made him feel uneasy.

Just at this moment, the little girl came out of her master's room carrying a basin of water.

Gu Nian'an quickly called out to the little girl

"Junior sister, are you busy? If you have time, can you help me take a look at what I have in my hand..."

After thinking about it, Gu Nian'an stopped talking and swallowed back what he was about to say.

It’s better not to let the little girl come into contact with things whose danger is still unknown.

Hearing Gu Nian'an's call, the little girl quickly put down the basin in her hand and ran to his side, looking at her senior brother with concern.

"Brother, is there something wrong with your hand? Let me take a look."

The little girl looked a little anxious. She quickly came up to him and grabbed his hands.

Seeing this, Gu Nian'an was shocked, and quickly pulled his hand back just before the little girl was about to touch him.

After all, this thing is related to ghosts. If he accidentally causes harm to the little girl, he will regret it to death.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the injury on my hand has improved a little, I want you to take a look."

Gu Nian'an held his hand half a meter away from the little girl and turned it back and forth for her to check.

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that although the wound on her senior brother's hand was still serious, it had begun to scar.

Seeing that the little girl didn't see anything, Gu Nian'an withdrew his hand and asked with a smile:

"How is the situation with Master Junior Sister?"

Hearing Gu Nian'an mention the old Taoist, the little girl's tone also lightened up a bit.

"Master is much better now. He can get out of bed and walk around. He should be fully recovered in a few days."

This is really a happy event. The old Taoist finally survived this disaster.

He didn't dare go to Taoist Qi Yuan's room these days.

My condition is not very good at the moment. It is easy to fool the little girl, but the old Taoist knows medical skills.

If he noticed anything, he was afraid that Taoist Qi Yuan would worry, and he was even more afraid that the Taoist would blame himself.

"By the way, Senior Brother, Master just asked me to look for you. He said if you have time, you can go to his room. He wants to see you."

The little girl was about to leave when she suddenly remembered her master's instructions. She turned around and said something to Gu Nian'an.

"Yes, yes, I understand. Junior sister, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go later."

After hearing Gu Nian'an's answer, the little girl skipped away with the wooden basin in her hand.

After the girl left, Gu Nian'an put away the smile on his face and looked at his left hand with a serious expression.

When he showed the girl his hand just now, he did not retract the white thread wrapped around it, but judging from the girl's expression, she should not be able to see what was in her hand.

So is it that I am the only one who can see this thing?

Gu Nian'an raised his hand and studied it for a while in the morning sunlight.

Suddenly he felt helpless. Without any hints or references, he really had no idea what to do.

Putting down his hand, Gu Nian'an was about to leave to find Taoist Qi Yuan.

Suddenly his expression was shocked, and he looked down at his left hand in surprise. He looked carefully and found that there was nothing.

The thin wire in my hand disappeared. I concentrated and tried a few more times, but still failed to pull it out again.

Gu Nian calmed himself down and thought carefully. When he put down his hand just now, he seemed to have touched a branch.

and so……

He turned around and looked at the ancient tree behind him in some surprise. If he was not mistaken, the thin white line should have run into the tree.

Gu Nian'an stared at the ancient tree in front of him in a daze. The good news was that the strange thing had left his body.

The bad news is that thing is still in Qingyang Temple and has escaped from his surveillance.

This……

He felt a bit of a headache at this time.

What the hell is going on?

He calmed down and looked at the ancient tree in front of him with a look that gradually became dangerous.

Or cut down the tree.

Then he quickly shook his head and put the thought out of his mind.

Taoist Qi Yuan would not agree.

Gu Nian'an had heard the Taoist priest mention this tree when he was a child. It was planted by Qingyangzi, the founder of Qingyang Temple.

It was said to be some kind of alien species from heaven and earth, but he had tried to study it over the years but had not been able to figure it out.

"well,"

Gu Nian'an sighed a little. It was probably impossible to cut down the tree. If he cut down the tree without permission, Taoist Qi Yuan would go crazy.

He can only take one step at a time and see what happens, but he will pay more attention in the future.

If there were any strange changes in this ancient tree, even if Taoist Qi Yuan disagreed, he would quietly get rid of it.

Gu Nian'an reached out and touched the rough bark, then looked at the remaining green crown and muttered to himself:

"Tree, tree, I hope we can live in peace, otherwise I will have no choice but to burn you to death."

Gu Nian'an patted the tree trunk gently, then turned and left.

Taoist Qi Yuan was still waiting for him. After everything was arranged with the Taoist priest, he planned to cut two branches to study it first.
