I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 134 Guessing Clues

“Tick-tick, tick-tick”

Drops of dew dripped down the stalagmites at the top of the cave.

Gu Nian'an, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his golden and silver pupils.

Although monkeys would occasionally sneak in to check out the situation at the cave entrance, no monkey was brave enough to come in and harass him.

Moreover, his five senses were sharp, and he could hear clearly everything that happened in the entire cave.

From time to time, groups of monkeys would come back from outside, but there was no human scent, let alone the voices of children.

So Jiang Wei was not brought back by the monkeys?

Another thing that concerned him was that the injured giant ape had not returned either.

Thinking of the giant ape that was several meters tall, Gu Nian'an couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.

In fact, when he first met the giant ape, he had some guesses about its identity.

Its physical features were so obvious that he had to think more about it.

With white head and bare feet, it looks like an ape. Isn't this thing Zhu Yan?

However, the giant ape that fought with him could only be a Westerner with some Zhu Yan bloodline.

He remembered that there was such a description in the Shanhaijing in his previous life: "Four hundred miles to the west is the Xiaoci Mountain, which has a lot of white jade on the top and a lot of red copper below.

There is a beast that looks like an ape, but has a white head and red feet. It is called Zhuyan. If it is seen, a large army will be launched. "

Zhuyan is an ancient vicious beast, a symbol of war and disaster. This thing is very powerful in fighting.

If the giant ape before was the real Zhu Yan, then the one lying seriously injured now should be me.

Alas! All the fierce beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas appeared, which made Gu Nian'an not know how to complain for a while.

So now he finally understood that the world he traveled to was nothing like Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, but a huge mess.

Gu Nian'an let out a breath, stood up and looked at the red fruit tree on the rock wall.

Sure enough, after just one short night, the small tree that was just over one meter tall had extended to more than three meters away.

The trunk is still as green as jade, with slightly raised bark that surrounds the trunk in layers, looking like layers of scales.

Looking at the leaves again, they are even more lush and green, as if carved from the finest jade. Dewdrops dotted on the leaves are crystal clear and look very beautiful.

He walked forward and gently lifted the leaves. When he saw the fruits on the tree clearly, Gu Nian'an sighed slightly.

I saw that the originally bright red fruit had changed drastically.

The color of the fruit deepened, and it was covered with a layer of strange purple lines.

Looking at the slightly strange fruits on the tree, Gu Nian'an hesitated for a moment before picking them one by one and placing them properly.

He doesn't know the specific effects of the red fruit nourished by the strange silk thread, so he will collect it first and make plans after doing experiments later.

After collecting the fruits, he had almost finished dealing with the matters in the cave, so there was no need to stay any longer.

Then Gu Nian'an's figure turned into a blue stream of light and quickly ran out of the cave.

Alas! Another night wasted, and I don't know how Jiang Wei is doing now.

Let's try our luck in the surrounding mountains and forests first. If there is no clue within three hours, go down the mountain quickly to find Madam Jiang and ask about Jiang Wei's birth date and fortune.

Gu Nian'an walked around in the cave, looking at the monkeys with low morale, without paying much attention to them.

Now is not the time to deal with them. If Jiang Wei is fine, he won't have time to bother with a group of beasts.

If something really happened to Jiang Wei, then I'm sorry, this was caused by them after all, and they won't have any complaints if they pay a certain price.

"boom"

After crashing into the waterfall and looking at the sky outside which was already turning slightly white, Gu Nian'an rushed straight into the woods without stopping.

In the early morning, a ray of light gradually rises in the distant sky, and in the quiet mountain forest, morning dewdrops sway among the leaves.

"laugh"

A figure flashed by quickly, and the leaves were blown to both sides by the strong wind caused by the figure, and morning dewdrops danced in the air.

Suddenly, Gu Nian'an, who was running wildly, stopped on a small hill.

Standing quietly on the bluestone, Gu Nian'an's ears moved slightly.

Then his figure disappeared and rushed quickly to the northwest, where he heard the sound of fighting.

Although the sound was not loud and was quite far away, he could still hear it vaguely.

After walking northwest for half a quarter of an hour, Gu Nian'an finally saw a rather disheveled woman in a white dress chasing a few exhausted monkeys at the foot of a mountain.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo"

Leng Qingqiu pressed his sword to the ground and gasped violently without any manner.

After a night of continuous running around, she was almost at her limit.

Xiao Wei was closest to her when the incident happened last night. She clearly reached out to grab Xiao Wei, but by the time she reacted, only a piece of clothes was left in her hand.

Afterwards, she quickly followed the direction where Xiao Wei disappeared, and encountered many huge monkeys. These monsters were extremely powerful and had hard skin, so she spent a lot of money to kill more than a dozen of them.

But that was all he could do. There was too much fog last night, and with the interference of the monkeys, he had now completely lost any clue about Xiao Wei.

Thinking of this, a hint of despair appeared on Leng Qingqiu's face.

Xiao Wei is the only child of her junior sister. If she had not made the request herself, with nearly a thousand border soldiers protecting her, what happened last night would never have happened.

If Xiao Wei got into an accident because of her, how would she have the face to face her junior sister?

As Leng Qingqiu thought about it, his expression gradually turned ferocious, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at the scarred monkey not far away.

It’s all because of these damn things. If it weren’t for them, how could something like last night have happened? If it weren’t for them, how could Xiao Wei have disappeared?

Squeezing out the last bit of strength in his body, Leng Qingqiu rushed towards the monkey group with a sword in hand.

Several monkeys who were gasping for breath saw the crazy woman coming again and turned around and ran away without saying a word.

After being chased for a whole night, many of their companions died and they had countless wounds on their bodies. Now they could hardly even run away, so how could they dare to fight with that crazy woman again?

Gu Nian'an stood in the distance watching the two parties chasing each other, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

With a few flashes of his figure, Gu Nian'an stood in front of the monkeys. Before they could react, the spear in his hand turned into a phantom, and with a few sweeps, he knocked the exhausted monkeys several feet away and they lay motionless on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Leng Qingqiu's body swayed and double images appeared in front of her eyes. She quickly stuck the sword in her hand on the ground and finally stabilized her body.

After dealing with a few monkeys, Gu Nian'an quickly walked to Leng Qingqiu, looked at the corner of his clothes tightly held in his hand, and asked, "The corner of the clothes in your hand was torn off from Jiang Wei."

After a moment's pause, Leng Qingqiu nodded gently.

Seeing the actions of the woman in front of him, Gu Nian'an's eyes lit up, "Then do you know Jiang Wei's date of birth and exact age?"

Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu nodded again, "Born in the Dingyou year, Bingwu month, Jiazi day, Renshen hour, I am eight years old this year."

Xiao Wei's birth was a rare and happy event for both the border troops and their Yanyue Sect.

She was outside the delivery room when Xiao Wei was born, so she would not remember the exact time wrong.

After the woman in front of him finished speaking, Gu Nian'an stretched out his hand and said

"I am a Taoist priest, and I have some knowledge of divination. Give me the corner of your clothes, and I should be able to calculate Jiang Wei's current approximate location."

Hearing Gu Nian'an's words, Leng Qingqiu was overjoyed. He immediately let go of the hilt of the sword, took two steps to him, grabbed his sleeve, and asked in a hurry, "Master Gu, are you telling the truth?"

Looking down at the blood stains on his sleeves, Gu Nian'an frowned slightly and said, "Don't waste any more time. Give me the corner of your sleeves first."

"Oh, ok, ok, ok"

Leng Qingqiu let go of his hand in a panic and quickly handed the corner of his clothes that he was holding tightly in his hand to the young man.

After taking the corner of clothes from Leng Qingqiu's hand, Gu Nian'an pondered for a moment and took out three copper coins from his sleeve.

As soon as the copper coin fell into his hand, it began to spin non-stop.

Staring at the copper coins in his palm, Gu Nian'an breathed a sigh of relief only after they were completely settled.

The existence of the hexagram means that Jiang Wei is fine at this time, at least he is still alive.

After carefully looking at the copper coin in his hand for a moment, Gu Nian'an's figure disappeared into the woods in an instant.
