I survive in the weird Liaozhai

After Gu Nian'an took a quick look at the things in the courtyard, Wang Shouye led the three of them to a small room.

The room was somewhat empty, with only two tables covered with red cloth in the middle of the room.

Wang Shouye walked forward and lifted the first red cloth. When Gu Nian'an saw the items on the table clearly, his eyes fluctuated slightly.

There was a knife rack on the table, and on it was a long knife with a sheath.

However, this knife is somewhat different from the goose-feather long knife on his waist. The knife is just over one meter long, with a slender blade and a small curvature. The handle and scabbard are pitch black without any luster.

Gu Nian'an walked forward and picked up the long sword. The moment he held the long sword in his hand, he was surprised.

The knife was quite heavy, more than twice as heavy as the goose-feather knife at his waist. He slowly pulled out the knife, and there was a slight sound as the blade rubbed against the scabbard with a clanking sound.

After pulling out the blade completely, he examined it carefully. The blade was jet black and wedge-shaped, with patterns wrapped around it. The edge of the blade was slightly white and flashing with a cold light. This knife was somewhat similar to the Tang horizontal sword in his previous life.

Gu Nian'an held the long black knife in his hand and gently slashed towards the corner of the table. There was no sense of sluggishness at all, and the blade went straight through.

After a while, the corner of the table slipped off. After it slipped off, he reached out and rubbed the scratch, only to find that the scratch was smooth without any burrs.

Gu Nian'an held the knife in his right hand and gently stroked the blade with two fingers of his left hand. For a moment, he couldn't help but sigh that this knife was quite powerful.

The sharpness of the blade is more than one level higher than the goose-feather long sword at the waist, and the weight and shape of the sword are perfect for performing sword-drawing techniques.

"Does Patriarch Wang's sword have a name?"

Hearing Gu Nian'an's question, Wang Shouye explained

"This sword was forged by a swordsmith using deep sea cold iron supplemented with several precious metals and took seven years to forge.

Wang got this sword by accident, but he was not good at martial arts and knew that this sword was valuable, so he kept it in his inner storehouse.

It was only taken out today, so it has not been named yet. How about you give it a name, Taoist Priest?"

Really? It hasn't been named yet?

But a knife is a weapon of murder, it is an object of killing, and it is born with sin. Does the name matter?

But since Patriarch Wang has asked for it, let’s just pick one.

"Master Wang, what do you think of 'peace'?"

Taiping sword? Wang Shouye was stunned for a moment before he clasped his hands and said

"Master, do you want to use this long sword to wipe out the filth in the world and bring peace to the world?"

??? Gu Nian'an

"Ah...~This...~"

Patriarch Wang might have understood too much. Gu Nian'an has never been a righteous man with the world in mind.

He just wanted to use this sword to carve out a piece of peace that belonged to him alone. The world was too big for him to control, nor did he want to.

Gu Nian'an turned around and looked at the three people with expressions of admiration on their faces, and was suddenly speechless.

Forget it, forget it. It’s just a misunderstanding. There’s nothing to explain.

Cough, cough, cough

"I have seen the chief surgeon of the Wang family. I like him very much. Thank you for your trouble, Chief Wang."

Hearing this, Wang Shouye waved his hands repeatedly

"Master, you are too kind. This knife is put to good use in your hands. If it remains in Wang's hands, it will just be a pearl covered in dust."

Without waiting for Gu Nian'an to say anything, Wang Shouye took off the red cloth on another table.

There was an iron bow and a red lacquered wooden box quietly placed on the table.

The bow is one meter long, with carved patterns on the bow body and the whole body covered with gold. The bowstring is as thick as a finger, and the overall look is solemn and gorgeous.

But looking at the longbow on the table, Gu Nian'an frowned. This thing was a little too gorgeous. It would be more appropriate to call it a decoration rather than a weapon.

"Master, this longbow is called Zhuyue. I found it from a good friend. This bow has the power of five stones, which fully meets your needs."

He borrowed this thing from Captain Li of the City Patrol. This bow was Captain Li's family heirloom and had been passed down for generations.

If he didn't have some leverage over Captain Li, it would have been difficult for him to get this thing.

Wang Shouye still remembers Captain Li’s expression when he was holding a longbow, which was uglier than his own father’s death.

Wang Shouye walked forward and opened the red lacquered wooden box on the table, only to see ten dark red long arrows placed in the box.

"This was made by several skilled craftsmen hired by Mr. Wang in the past few days. Taoist priest, please take a look and see if it meets your requirements."

Gu Nian'an did not refuse and walked forward to pick up the longbow, holding the bow in his left hand and the string in his right hand, then took a deep breath and exerted force suddenly.

The gorgeous longbow creaked as it was pulled, and in an instant the longbow was pulled into a full moon.

The fact that this thing has five stones is a bit exaggerated, but it does have the power of four stones.

Drawing the bow was not difficult, and it met his requirements.

Wang Shouye, who was standing beside him, twitched his eyelids and praised

"Master, you have divine power. This bow has been in my friend's house for some years. There are not many people who can pull it open without much effort."

Wang Shouye was not complimenting, he was really surprised.

The young Taoist priest next to him doesn't look like a tall and strong man, but he is very strong.

The five-stone longbow has a pulling force of 600 kilograms, but it can be pulled into a full moon without any sluggishness, which shows how amazing its strength is.

Releasing the bowstring, Gu Nian'an just glanced at the arrows in the wooden box and didn't pay any more attention to them.

He believed in the ability of the head of the Wang family to do things, or he knew that the head of the Wang family's hatred for the ghost baby was definitely several levels higher than his.

Therefore, the head of the Wang family will definitely do his best in preparing these items, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

"How is the blood that Patriarch Wang asked you to collect?"

“Don’t worry, Taoist priest, everything has been prepared. Wang has stored those things in batches in different places.

As long as the Taoist priest needs it, it will be delivered to you within half an hour."

Wang Shouye took Gu Nian'an's words to heart.

It's true that he hates ghost babies, but he also knows his limits. First-class ghosts are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

If they accidentally lured the monster into the palace, he estimated that everyone in the Wang family would be doomed.

"That thing is not urgent. I believe that Master Wang has also found out the disappearance of the children in Anyang City in the past few days. Can you tell me about it?"

Without hesitation, Wang Shouye told him all the information that his servants had found out in the past few days.

After listening to the narration of the head of the Wang family, Gu Nian'an fell into deep thought. Qingshui Lane was the hardest hit area.

Children also went missing in other places but the situation was not as serious as that in Qingshui Lane.

However, the disappearance of children in Qingshui Lane stopped half a month ago, so has the location changed?

There were only three children missing in the central area of ​​Anyang County, and one of them was the youngest son of the Wang family.

So when the ghost baby passed by here, it suddenly felt hungry and started looking for food?

Recently, seventeen children went missing from Suyifang in the south of Banyue City. Could they be there?

But evil spirits probably don't like crowded places.

Then let's find a suitable place outside the south of the city tonight to set up an ambush. With the attraction of the blood of a hundred infants, I believe the ghost infant will not refuse as long as it can sense it.

And there was one thing he cared about.

Both Qingshui Lane and Suyifang are residential areas for ordinary civilians, so is there someone controlling the ghost babies?

As long as the missing children are all from poor families, the government will not intervene too much, and the big families will not pay too much attention to the matter.

He knew that the ghost baby was cunning, but he didn't quite believe that it could choose its target so accurately.

He walked out of the room and looked up carefully at the direction of the Li family not far away. There was a gray-black smoke flowing in the sky, and he could see it clearly even in the daytime.

If the ghost baby is really controlled by someone.

Then the most likely place for the person behind the scenes to hide was other than the Li family, and he didn't think of any other options.

After all, he had asked for divination in the first place just to investigate the affairs of the Li family.
