I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Following Gu Nian'an out of the room, Wang Shouye introduced the young man behind him to him.

"Master, this is my nephew Wang Jie. He is the most skilled young man in our Wang family. I want him to follow you and see the world."

The young man walked up to him, clasped his hands and said

"Master, my name is Wang Jie. I'll be in trouble for the next few days."

Gu Nian'anxiu turned around and looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise, then looked at Wang Shouye standing beside him.

Does the head of the Wang family have a grudge against this young man?

Doesn't he know what he's going to do next?

Are you trying to send this young man to his death by putting him next to you at this time?

Gu Nian'an knew that Patriarch Wang would never believe everything he said.

He could understand just arranging a guard around him.

But pushing one's own nephew in front of the ghosts is a bit too high a price to pay.

The young man in front of him spoke first, probably sensing his doubts.

“It was my own decision for the Taoist priest to follow you, and it had nothing to do with my uncle.

My uncle also tried to persuade me, but Chong'er and I have always gotten along well since childhood, and I have watched him grow up.

So if it is to avenge Chong'er, I will do it without hesitation, and I hope the Taoist priest will agree to it."

After saying this the young man bowed deeply and waited for a response.

"Oh!" Wang Shouye also sighed.

Wang Jie is his nephew, a good and ambitious child.

In the entire palace, apart from Qiu Niang and himself, he was the closest to Chong'er. He had been looking for Chong'er for more than two months after he disappeared.

When he heard the news about Chong'er two days ago, he immediately rushed back. If he hadn't been suppressing Wang Jie these two days, he would have gone to the door to block him.

Wang Shouye knew that ghosts were dangerous, but he really couldn't persuade the child.

Instead of letting him wander around, it would be better to let him follow Taoist Nian An. If he really encounters that ghost thing, maybe there will be someone to take care of him.

So Wang Shouye bowed deeply to him.

"Master Nian'an, Xiaojie has been practicing martial arts for a few years and has some ability to protect himself. Master Nian'an, please help me take care of him from now on."

Ha! He doesn't even know if he can protect himself when facing the ghost baby, how can you ask him to take care of it?

But looking at the two people bending and bowing in front of him, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

The head of the Wang family has helped him a lot, and it would not be nice to refuse him directly, so he should just be frank with him.

“To be honest with Patriarch Wang, I am not completely confident in facing the ghost baby head-on. If your nephew follows me to participate in this, it will be very dangerous.

The risk of death is as high as 90%, so please think carefully before making a decision, Master Wang."

Hearing this, Wang Shouye raised his head and said, "This...~~"

Before Wang Shouye could speak, the young man next to him raised his head and responded

"Master Nian'an, rest assured. I know what's going on. I'm willing to sacrifice my life to avenge my cousin."

Well, another man who is ready to sacrifice his life for revenge.

Alas! It doesn’t matter if you drive one sheep or two sheep. Since there is already Xu Chongxiao, it doesn’t matter if there is also Wang Jie.

Since no one is afraid of death, there is nothing much for him to say.

So Gu Nian'an warned in a somewhat cold voice

“Since you have thought it through, I won’t say any more.

But I hope you will follow my arrangements next and not act rashly.

If I have the energy to spare, I will try to ensure your safety. If it really comes to a critical moment, I will not care about your life or death. "

Hearing Gu Nian'an agree, Wang Jie immediately responded

"Master Nian'an, rest assured that I will follow your instructions and will not act on my own.

And if things have really reached a point where they are irreversible, please don’t worry about Wang’s life or death.”

After hearing the conversation between the two, Wang Shouye became a little hesitant. His son was gone, and he didn't want to see his nephew, who he had taken good care of, also die.

But he really had no way to deal with this kid Wang Jie, so Wang Shouye cast his hopeful eyes on Gu Nian'an again.

He saw the look Wang Shouye was giving him, but he didn't like to persuade others, and he really didn't have the ability to persuade anyone.

But with the scarf covering it, he can just pretend he didn't see it, so it won't be awkward.

Besides, time is limited and he doesn't have time to waste with the uncle and nephew. He has to go to the south of the city to set up a trap as soon as possible.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and at three quarters past noon, in a small wood in the south of the city, people were busy.

This location was chosen by Gu Nian'an. It is not far from Suyifang and is located in a remote area, making it convenient to set traps to lure the ghost baby.

Moreover, even if they start fighting here, no outsiders will come to disturb them, so it is a more suitable ambush location.

With the help of Wang's servants, he didn't have to do it himself. All he had to do was give a slight command and all the traps would be set.

Moreover, the head of the Wang family was very thoughtful and specially invited two experienced old hunters to help with the arrangement, so the location of the trap was more tricky, which would give the ghost baby a good surprise.

The refined Sanyang ropes were also woven into two large nets with the help of Wang's servants. He did not intend to use it himself, so he left it to Xu Chongxiao and Wang Jie.

Gu Nian'an looked at the Sanyang Rope in his hand. This key item for dealing with ghost babies would be more reassuring if he made it himself.

He would never entrust his safety to others.

After everything was ready, the Wang family servants left one after another.

After all the servants of the Wang family left, Gu Nian'an opened the five black lacquered wooden boxes one by one. Four of the boxes contained a total of one hundred thumb-sized porcelain bottles.

After removing the cork and opening the porcelain bottle, one saw that it was filled with a deep red liquid. This was the blood of children under ten years old prepared by the head of the Wang family, a total of one hundred portions.

Moreover, each porcelain bottle is filled to the brim. With this blood, a lot of "Hundred Infants Blood" can be refined, and the tolerance space will be relatively larger.

When the remaining wooden box was opened, five fist-sized porcelain bottles and a washbasin-sized copper basin were found in the box. These were what Gu Nian'an asked the head of the Wang family to prepare.

The copper basin is used to refine the blood of the hundred infants, as for the porcelain bottle?

One of the porcelain bottles contained Yin blood, which was a mixture of the blood of five poisonous creatures: poisonous snakes, scorpions, toads, centipedes, and geckos.

The remaining four porcelain bottles are empty and are used to hold the blood of the Hundred Infants after it is refined.

After opening the five wooden boxes one by one, Gu Nian'an placed the copper on the ground and then opened the porcelain bottles containing the children's blood one by one and slowly poured the blood in the bottles into the copper basin.

His movements were very careful, and he did not stop until all the blood in each porcelain bottle was poured out.

Xu Chongxiao and Wang Jie stood behind Gu Nian'an and watched him operate silently.

"Master Nian'an, can this thing really attract the evil spirits you mentioned?"

Wang Jie asked as he looked at the liquid in the copper basin which was gradually turning black.

"Not sure, but there is a great chance of attracting the ghost baby here."

Yes, he was not sure whether he could lure the ghost baby out.

He had only heard about the Hundred Infants Blood from his master, and no one knew how much attraction this thing had on the ghost babies.

At the same time, it is still unknown how far the effective range of Hundred Infants Blood is.

Now he just has to do his best and leave the rest to fate. He should do everything he can, and the rest depends on luck.

Soon the refining of the Hundred Infants' Blood was completed. Gu Nian'an poured the sticky black liquid in the copper basin into porcelain bottles one by one, filling five large bottles in total. Even the bottle used to store the Yin Blood of the Five Poisons was filled by him.

After letting Xu Chongxiao and Wang Jie deal with the wooden box and the copper plate, Gu Nian'an walked to the center of the trap, opened a porcelain bottle containing the blood of a hundred infants, and sprinkled the liquid evenly on a dead pig.

This pig was prepared in advance as his final gift to the ghost baby.
