I survive in the weird Liaozhai
Chapter 49: The Extremely Outrageous County City Li Family
Five days later, at 3 p.m., the dusty Gu Nian'an looked at the tall city wall in the distance and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
This era really opened his eyes. Generally speaking, it can only be described in one word: "chaotic". It is a fucking mess.
Not to mention the forest paths, even the official roads were often blocked by groups of bandits who wanted to rob people.
He finally understood why ordinary people of this era were willing to live in the small piece of land they were familiar with all their lives.
Judging from the situation outside, if you don’t have some real skills, your body will probably turn into ashes before you can get out of a hundred miles.
He encountered four or five groups of robbers along the way, some with two or three people and some with more than ten or twenty people. He did not kill all of them.
Those who only robbed but did not kill were given a lesson, and those who dared to kill were sorry that they were more cruel than them, and their bodies were left to burn.
And it was also thanks to them that Gu Nian'an gradually understood how to use his eyes.
Ordinary people are surrounded by black and white energy. It is not a big problem if the white energy is mixed with a little black energy. It may cause minor evil but it will not be a big deal.
Those who have mostly black energy are in big trouble. He will not show mercy to such people and will generally arrange one-stop service for them.
Among them, there was one person who left a deep impression on Gu Nian'an. He was so black that he was glowing.
After some questioning, he felt disgusted. This guy not only killed people but also ate them, and he did it in different ways.
So I didn't spoil him and just killed him directly without killing him.
There is also gray gas, which is somewhat similar to death air. Whenever he has murderous intentions towards someone, gray gas will appear on that person's body. The stronger his murderous intentions are, the more gray gas will appear.
When he kills someone, the gray gas will explode for a moment, but will dissipate naturally after an hour.
Fortunately, there were quite a lot of experimental subjects along the way, and with their selfless help, Gu Nian'an finally figured out the general ability of his eyes.
It’s just a pity that no other special cases like Song Ruyue have been found.
Along the way, he also discovered many groups of merchant caravans, but Gu Nian'an really had no intention of making friends with them.
No matter what, he always felt a little alienated from the people of this era and instinctively didn't want to get close to them.
And he had a feeling, a very vague feeling.
He felt that he should not disturb others, otherwise bad things would happen.
It was getting late and there were still things to do tonight, so Gu Nian'an didn't stay for long. He quickened his pace, went into the city to adjust himself for a while, and then went to deliver the gift when he was in the best condition.
But when he was about to enter the city, he was stopped by a young gatekeeper.
"A pass, a certificate of ordination, any one will do. I'll let you into the city after checking it."
Yan Xiaoyi is a gatekeeper and has been working at this post for half a year.
Although the position was lucrative, he didn't like it very much.
His dream is to become a general. It would be better to die on the battlefield than to live a lazy life here every day.
Today was another boring day, but just now he discovered a suspicious person, wearing a Taoist robe, a long sword hanging from his waist, blindfolded, and with short hair that was neither long nor short.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether this person was a monk, a Taoist priest, or a gangster.
But this man looked suspicious from head to toe, so Yan Xiaoyi decided to stop him and question him.
Gu Nian'an looked at the people flowing around him speechlessly. Why were they treated differently?
Others had no problem coming in and out, but they stopped him. Did they think he was easy to bully?
But after thinking about it, I decided to just forget it. It’s just their normal work, there’s nothing to be angry about.
So Gu Nian'an took out a tael of silver from the package and handed it to the soldier.
This was what Manager Wu gave him yesterday. Manager Wu was really nice. He not only prepared enough food for him but also gave him two sets of nice clothes for changing. In the end, he only symbolically charged him half a tael of silver.
Shopkeeper Wu is absolutely good in terms of being a human being.
Seeing the broken silver handed to him, Yan Xiaoyi became furious and asked, "Who the hell are you insulting?"
Is this about money? How dare you give it so blatantly? Don't you know how to restrain yourself?
He was just about to attack when suddenly a slap hit him on the back of his head from behind with such force that Yan Xiaoyi staggered.
An old gatekeeper walked up to Gu Nian'an and bowed politely.
"Master, please come in. The kid was just joking with you."
Gu Nian'an was a little confused, but as long as he could enter the city, there was no need to worry too much about other things.
Besides, he really didn't have a pass or a certificate of ordination, so if others were serious about it, there would be nothing he could do.
After Gu Nian'an left, the old soldier grabbed Yan Xiaoyi's ears and dragged him aside, lowering his voice and scolding him.
"How many times have I told you not to mess with monks and Taoist priests? Don't mess with them. Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?
He has both of them, why are you trying to stop him? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? If I weren't your second uncle, who would give a damn about your life or death?"
Yan Xiaoyi, who was being held by the ears, said nothing and was obviously unconvinced.
"Xiao Yi, listen to my advice, just focus on guarding the goal, don't think about anything else.
You are the only male in our Yan family. Safety is the most important thing at all times. If you are gone, our Yan family will be cut off, and I will not be able to face our ancestors at that time."
The old soldier kept nagging in front of Yan Xiaoyi, but it could be seen that his concern was genuine.
Yan Xiaoyi leaned against the city wall, not quite taking it seriously. He really didn't want to be a gatekeeper his whole life.
The weather was a bit cold at night, and Gu Nian'an was standing not far from the entrance of Li's mansion.
He had been standing here for quite a while, but his expression was a little gloomy, so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.
At this moment, Gu Nian'an wanted to curse, what the hell is this Li family doing.
Gu Nian'an pulled down the scarf from his eyes again to confirm. He suspected that he might have seen it wrong before.
In Gu Nian'an's eyes, a gray-black airflow rushed straight into the sky, half of the sky was dyed gray-black, and a little green light flickered in the gray-black airflow.
Confirmed that I read it correctly before.
But how is this possible? The Li family’s current situation is almost catching up with Lanruo Temple.
But the Lanruo Temple is still in the wilderness of the mountains after all. It's a bit too much for you to make such a scene in a county lord's city.
Even the tree demon would have to admit defeat at such an arrogant and rampant act.
Are the officials in the imperial court just there to eat and do nothing?
Are all the people in this city blind?
Is there no one who notices that something is wrong with the current situation in the Li Mansion?
This is really a hell.
So now he has two choices.
No matter what, just fight first and then leave.
Similarly, different choices will lead to different results. If the mastermind behind the Li Mansion is a greenhorn, then there is no problem, as he can kill his way in and out seven times.
But if there really is a big boss hiding in Li's mansion, then that would be a big problem. If he rushes in, he might get killed.
After standing there and thinking for a while, Gu Nian'an decided to go back to the inn and have a sleep first.
Gamblers will not have a good end. With a 50-50 choice like this, it is easy to fail if you are not careful.
Moreover, he didn't believe that anyone who dared to be so arrogant in the county town didn't have some real skills.
Finally, Gu Nian'an turned around and prepared to go back to the inn to rest before making any plans.
Did you not check the almanac before going out today? How could I be so unlucky, not to mention being stopped at the city gate for no apparent reason.
Go into the city, find a good inn, ask for the location, and wait until dark to prepare to break into the Li family and seek justice.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of Li's house, before he could climb over the wall, a cold sense of crisis enveloped his whole body, making him break out in a cold sweat.
When he took off the scarf from his eyes and took a look, he knew he couldn't do it anymore.
How can the Li family be a den of dragons and tigers? This is much more dangerous than any of them.
Judging from his experience along the way, it would be outrageous that the Li family could not have caused such a scene without the death of a thousand or eight hundred people.
After returning to the inn, Gu Nian'an was unable to sleep because he kept thinking about it. The Li family's affairs troubled him.
In fact, the best way now is to leave Anyang County and not worry about anything. As long as he leaves Anyang County, no matter what happens to the Li family, it will not involve him.
And there is no need to mention revenge anymore. Judging from the current situation of the Li family, there will probably be few people left alive, and there is a possibility that the whole family will be wiped out.
But my curiosity has been aroused. It would be a pity if I don’t figure out such an interesting thing.
Gu Nian'an also knew that this might not be a good thing, but sometimes once curiosity was aroused, it was difficult to suppress it.
