It's sugar, not poison
Yan Chan held the bun in her mouth, her hands moving non-stop. The aroma of meat kept drilling into her nose. She bit down with her teeth and bit into the meat filling in one bite. The bun happened to fall and was caught by her two finger joints, so it was not contaminated by dust.
That's it.
Yan Chan looked at the masterpiece in his hand with satisfaction. The broken blade turned into a short blade. The blade was very sharp, reflecting his deep eyebrows and eyes. Soon Yan Chan put the short blade back into the sheath and put it behind his waist.
They would reach Fengdu in one day, and Yan Chan's heart began to become uneasy.
This was the first time she had traveled so far away, whether in her previous life or this life.
He picked up another piece of sweet pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, finishing the whole plate in no time.
Finally, end with a cup of strong tea.
The sun was at its highest point, and Yan Chan pressed down her eyelids, which were twitching wildly, until she felt her eyes were about to cramp before she stopped.
Let’s go out and bask in the sun... Maybe we’ve been stuck in the house for too long, Yan Chan rubbed his eyes again.
"Wow, I didn't expect there is also Shenxianzui here." Yan Chan walked in the bustling market. There were all kinds of things being sold, and many of them she had never seen before.
Yan Chan didn't stop there. He bought a folding fan from some vendor and fanned himself with it from time to time. He said with a look of regret, "But this Shenxianzui tastes better when it's chilled."
The sounds of buying and selling, shouting, and bargaining were mixed together. In the tavern, waiters were running around quickly with wine and food. From time to time, there were sounds of rock-paper-scissors, chatting and laughing, and the clinking of glasses.
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
"What?! Thief!"
"Run, catch him!"
"Where's the thief!?"
"My wallet!!! What are you standing there for? Come on, I'm going to take it!"
The voices of passersby kept ringing out, people were pushing and shoving, the streets were in chaos, and the big guys drinking in the tavern were craning their necks to look out.
Yan Chan was originally walking in the middle of the road, but she didn't expect to be bumped by the fleeing thief. Not only was she turned around several times, but the things she just bought were almost thrown out.
No! Where are her things?!
These past few days have been really unlucky, with things lost one after another. Yan Chan's patience has reached its limit at this moment. If it could be visualized, I'm afraid his eyes would be spitting fire.
Yan Chan pushed through the crowded crowd and closely followed the thief. However, she never expected that the thief was also very clever and nimbly moved through the dense crowd, and who knows how many treasures he took away during the process.
He ran forward panting, occasionally looking back at the person who was chasing him, with a hint of pride on his lips.
He ran all the way into the woods. He turned around and saw that the people chasing him had disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief and took out a mask from somewhere. He put it on his face, but he didn't expect to look Yan Chan, who took a shortcut, in the eye. He shuddered.
"Are you going to Fengdu Ghost Market?"
A short blade was hanging at the neck of the little thief. The throbbing blood vessels had been cut, and traces of blood dyed the short blade red.
"Yes, yes, sir, spare my life, sir, spare my life."
Seeing him stretch out his index finger to gently push away the short blade, Yan Chan pushed it in a little further. She saw that the little thief was swallowing his saliva, and she felt like teasing him.
"I don't have any hobbies on weekdays, I just like killing people, especially I like to see them in pain. Today I just happened to have a new idea, and I'll use you to try out my knife." As he said this, he looked like he was about to take action.
"Wait, young man, wait a minute. I, I know a lot about Fengdu Ghost Market. You can ask me anything. I don't want anything. I just ask you to spare my life." He cried loudly, clasped his hands together and begged for mercy.
I didn't expect that when he was in great danger, his mind would work so quickly and he grasped the key point at once. He was worthy of being someone who frequented the Fengdu Ghost Market. Yan Chan looked at the person in front of him again.
"What would happen if the ghost token appeared in the world?" Yan Chan squatted down to be at eye level with him, playing with the ends of her hair with her free hand, and said with a smile.
"Ghost, ghost token?" He swallowed again, "Have you received the ghost token?" He looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and speak."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The light reflected by the blade was about to blind him. "Anyone who receives the ghost token will be taken away by the ghost servants. I heard that the ghost servants will lock them up in a dark dungeon..." He said a lot of things, revealing everything he knew.
Yan Chan was speechless after hearing this. "Is the Ghost King of Fengdu Ghost Market a superstitious leader? He can gain supreme magical powers by drowning people with extremely yin horoscopes in that pond?"
"It's Stone Crow Pond."
Yan Chan glanced at him and asked, "What's the origin of this Stone Crow Pond?"
"I don't know about that. That place is forbidden and ordinary people can't enter." He paused for a few seconds and said, "But I heard that the place is very mysterious."
"You know a lot." Suddenly Yan Chan came up with an idea, "Eat this." She took out a porcelain bottle from her body, opened it with one hand and poured out a pill.
The pill was getting closer and closer. He closed his mouth tightly, covering his mouth with one hand and resisting Yan Chan's hand with the other.
"What is this?" A muffled voice came out of his mouth, and his eyes widened as if he had seen poison.
"Sugar." Yan Chan grinned.
"I don't believe that! How can that black thing be sugar?!"
"Eat it or not? If you don't, I'll kill you!"
"Despicable!" The little thief gritted his teeth and blurted out the two words. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. He made up his mind and swallowed it.
"Cough, cough, cough, I'm going to die." He covered his neck desperately, coughing so hard that he felt dizzy and dizzy.
"You're being too dramatic..." Yan Chan stood up, crossed her arms over her chest and watched him rolling on the ground.
"It's definitely poison!" Otherwise, how could it be so unpalatable? When he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Get up." Yan Chan really didn't want to watch any more, so she grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him up from the ground.
Not only his body, but even his hair was covered with grass. Yan Chan took off the mask on his face, revealing a pretty face.
It was far different from what she had imagined, but it was still pleasing to the eye.
"Take the antidote once a month." As she said this, she tossed the "poison" bottle in her hand, causing the little thief to look up and down the bottle.
......
Fengdu Ghost Market
Guan Zheng slowly woke up from her coma, the sound of dripping water echoing in the empty cave.
As soon as she sat up, she heard footsteps, which seemed to be approaching her.
Guan Zheng instantly tensed up and didn't dare to make a sound. She leaned against the stone wall behind her, carefully gathering her wet skirt.
She didn't know what happened, the footsteps disappeared, but she was not panicked at all now. Guan Zheng had just looked around and knew that there was only one way out of the cave. Unless she turned around, that person would pass by her even if he had wings.
This eerie cave emitting green light actually had several shadows appearing on the stone wall.
Their bodies couldn't be seen clearly, and they seemed to be wrapped in a cloak, with a dagger in their hands.
I didn't know when they discovered me.
Guan Zheng suppressed her emotions and calmly took out the bell. With a "ding-ling" sound, several people stopped. With another "ding-ling" sound, all the daggers fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
It turned out that they were a few people who were "powerless".
Guan Zheng walked over slowly while ringing the bell, and saw that everyone who came was wearing black robes and had masks covering their faces.
She had heard before that anyone entering Fengdu Ghost Market had to cover their face with a mask to prevent their true appearance from being revealed, and they were not asked where they came from or where they were going back.
"God is really helping me." Guan Zheng manipulated them to take off their black robes and masks, pick up the daggers on the ground, and then line up one by one to jump into the underground river. She did not stop ringing the bell until their figures disappeared.
After they got out, they had a fierce battle, and how could they do it without a dagger to protect themselves? Guan Zheng thought to herself that she was really too kind.
The things were all the same. Guan Zheng chuckled, squatted down, picked up one that was fairly suitable and put it on herself, then turned and walked deeper into the cave. There must be some treasure in there, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted a group of people to come in and carry daggers with them.
It would be nice if there was a light. Although it's green in here, it's still a little scary.
