I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 172 Kind People

The sun was setting, and suddenly the sky above the bustling Wuyun City was covered by a layer of dark clouds.

At this time, Gu Nian'an stood on the top floor of Lingying Tower, the tallest building in Wuyun City, quietly looking at the city that was about to step into the night.

This is the most central location of the entire Wuyun City and also the location of Ciguang Temple.

Legend has it that this was originally just a small temple. Later, a great monk passed away here, and after a hundred years of development, it has grown to its current size.

The pagoda under his feet is the place where the eminent monk passed away, and his relics are enshrined here.

It is said that as long as a sincere person makes offerings with all his heart, he will be blessed by the monk.

But in Gu Nian'an's eyes, this was nothing more than a luxurious and extravagant place that was the product of people's hard-earned money. As for the other apologies, perhaps it was because he was not sincere enough. Anyway, he did not find anything supernatural about it.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the wooden pagoda, and three figures came to the top floor of the pagoda one after another accompanied by the footsteps.

"Mr. Gu, what you want has been prepared for you."

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Gu Nian'an turned around and bowed, "Thank you, Madam Jiang."

"call out"

After throwing the wooden box in his hand to the boy standing by the fence, Xu Hu said loudly

“Brother Gu, go ahead. I personally supervised the best blacksmith in the city to forge it for you. I guarantee it will be strong enough.

Gu Nian'an reached out to take the huge box that flew in front of him and weighed it gently. Hmm, it was quite heavy and it seemed that some effort had been put into its preparation.

Putting the wooden box aside, Gu Nian'an bowed to Xu Hu and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu."

Hearing this, Xu Hu just smiled and stood aside without saying anything more.

Instead, Ye Jinxiu slowly walked to the fence and asked softly

"Mr. Gu, are you sure about tonight?"

There is no such thing as certainty in this matter. All we can do is to do our best and leave the rest to fate.

After casually glancing at the woman beside him, Gu Nian'an turned around and stared at the deathly aura that permeated the sky above Wuyun City before speaking solemnly.

"I'll do my best."

"Try your best?"

Alas! It seems that the young man beside him is not completely sure either. But think about it, after all, the person he is about to face is a person with spatial magical powers. Who can be completely sure when facing such a person?

Ye Jinxiu stood quietly beside the young man without saying anything else. She only turned and left after the sun had completely set.

But when the three of them reached the stairs, the old monk who had not spoken since going upstairs spoke up, "Donor Gu, Ciguang Temple is an important place for Buddhism. If possible, I hope that Donor Gu will not commit murder."

After hearing the old monk's words, Gu Nian'an didn't even bother to turn his head, let alone pay any attention to him.

He felt that what the old monk said made sense, but he was talking to the wrong person.

If possible, he should go talk to the crazy Du Yuming. I think they should have common topics.

After everyone left, Gu Nian'an, with thunder in his left hand, gently stroked the wooden box and then pulled it with one hand. Suddenly, three black lights broke through the wooden box, bypassed the edge of the tower and flew high into the sky.

Seeing this scene, Gu Nian'an did not stop and jumped high, then grabbed the edge of the pagoda with one hand, turned over and landed steadily on the top of the pagoda.

"Ding, ding, ding"

After Gu Nian'an landed on the top of the pagoda, accompanied by a few slight sounds, three black spears were firmly inserted into the top of the pagoda.

He gently pulled out a long black spear and danced with it, a look of satisfaction flashing in Gu Nian'an's eyes.

He specifically asked Madam Jiang to make these three spears for him.

It doesn't need to be handy or sharp, just strong enough.

Sigh! Speaking of which, Xu Chongxiao's spear is definitely a good weapon for ordinary people, but can I still be considered an ordinary person?

He himself couldn't tell how powerful he was now, and the damage caused by thunder to weapons was even more serious.

If I hadn't taken good care of the spear every time I used it, it would have been broken long ago.

Sigh! I have too many things to do recently. I have to wait until I have some free time to find a way to strengthen Xu Chongxiao's spear.

Putting the black spear in his hand back on the top of the tower, Gu Nian'an looked towards Wuyun City which was about to fall into the night, with golden and silver light flashing in his eyes.

In fact, he still has a slightly complicated feeling about Du Yuming.

Logically speaking, if he hadn't shown up, his uncle wouldn't have been in danger, and he would have had less trouble.

But judging from today's investigation, he may still be a good person with a relatively high moral bottom line, at least much better than himself.

According to the investigation of the Yanyue Sect today, a total of 136 mummies have been found in Wuyun City. If the ones that have not been discovered are included, the number of people who have died at Du Yuming's hands in the past two days may have exceeded 150.

But in Gu Nian'an's opinion, these people almost all deserved to die.

Some of those who were killed were powerful and wealthy, some were members of gangs with a long history of evil deeds, and some were scoundrels who committed crimes. In short, none of them were particularly innocent.

As for how Du Yuming found these people, he had already checked. It was probably because of the case file library in the provincial capital, which recorded all the major and minor events in Wuyun City, including files of various criminal cases. Those who died recently were all recorded in the case file library.

This really took a lot of effort, but Du Yuming's kindness also left him in danger of being exposed.

Now all he had to do was wait, wait for the two Xu brothers to force him into their attack range and then kill him with one blow.

"Brother has already made all the arrangements, but there are too many cases recorded in the case library, and the people involved are scattered all over Wuyun City, so we are a little short of manpower."

Sitting on a stone step, Xu Biao lowered his head and gnawed the dry and hard bread in his hand seriously. He put the last piece into his mouth and chewed it slowly before he looked up at his brother.

"It doesn't matter. I heard from Brother Gu that the monster has space-related magical powers. It doesn't really matter if there are more people or fewer people."

"Then big brother, how are we going to lure that monster to Ciguang Temple?"

Instead of answering his brother's question, Xu Biao looked towards the Lingying Tower standing tall in the distance.

Ha! He had some experience in hunting. If he wanted to trap ferocious beasts, he would need to prepare enough bait.

And judging by the time, the bait he prepared for that person should be almost here.

Standing up, brushing the dust off his butt, Xu Biao turned around and walked towards a street corner.

Without asking any more questions, he followed his eldest brother along the dark streets until they came to a vegetable market and stopped.

But when Xu Hu saw the scene clearly, he was a little confused.
