Chapter 48 Everyone is under a curse
"Zhan Beiyuan, wake up, wake up quickly..." Jiang Yunxi reached out and patted his shoulder.
Zhan Beiyuan suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw the person beside the bed, he waved towards her.
"It's me." Jiang Yunxi dodged.
"You..." Zhan Beiyuan sat up. Why was she not sleeping so late at night and was standing by his bed?
"Come with me, someone is controlling forbidden techniques, maybe there are evil cultivators." Jiang Yunxi said in a deep voice. She could still sense the faint fluctuations.
"Okay." Zhan Beiyuan was still very interested in this. What happened last night opened the door to a new world for him.
The two of them left the palace immediately.
Jiang Yunxi walked towards the east, she sensed that the fluctuations were coming from that direction.
It was approximately the hour of Chou.
She remembered that today was the first day of the tenth lunar month. Someone had chosen this day to perform forbidden magic, probably to offer some kind of sacrifice.
Zhan Beiyuan followed Jiang Yunxi closely. Even though the seven days had not yet passed, he could still see things that others could not see. Seeing them in a hurry, the ghosts all stared at them but did not approach.
I don’t know how long I shuttled through the streets, Jiang Yunxi stopped, she frowned, the fluctuation had disappeared.
"Found it?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
"No, the other party stopped." Jiang Yunxi frowned. She couldn't sense anything at all, but she was sure that it was in the east direction.
Zhan Beiyuan: "Do you want to keep looking?"
Jiang Yunxi looked up at him and said, "I'm sure it's in the east direction, but now they've stopped, so I can't find out the exact location. Do you want to go and take a look?"
She leaves the choice to him.
"I want to." Zhan Beiyuan made a decision quickly. They had already come out, and he was not sleepy at all, so he might as well go and take a look.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi smiled.
The two continued walking eastward, gradually becoming more and more remote. The houses looked very old-fashioned, built densely, and the streets were narrow. It was a typical slum, inhabited by people with poor living conditions.
Jiang Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, "The person who controls the forbidden technique should be in this area."
"This is the slums of the capital, where all kinds of people mix. I didn't expect that there would be someone here who could manipulate forbidden techniques." Zhan Beiyuan glanced around sharply, his handsome jawline tense.
"The more mixed the place is, the easier it is to fish in troubled waters." Jiang Yunxi smiled and walked inside.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
What she said seemed to make sense.
It was very quiet when the two of them first entered. The people on both sides of the street were asleep and the house was pitch black. But as they walked deeper, they gradually saw a ray of light and an enticing fragrance wafted through the air.
Jiang Yunxi quickened his pace. Could there be a night market inside?
As the two walked to the end of the street, there were two more roads on the left and right. The left one was pitch black, and the right one was brightly lit. The shops on both sides of the street were all lit with candles, and there were people setting up stalls on the street selling various food and drinks.
It’s very lively.
"Do you want to go eat something first?" Jiang Yunxi suggested.
"Sure." Zhan Beiyuan glanced at the thin woman beside him, thinking about the blood she lost last night, she should eat more.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a smile and teased, "I thought you would refuse."
"Why do you refuse?" Zhan Beiyuan looked at her in confusion.
"You are the noble King Han of Tenglong Kingdom. You have been living a life of luxury since childhood. In my opinion, you would not eat food sold at street stalls." Jiang Yunxi said what she was thinking, so she was surprised.
"When I was on the march and fighting, I ate cold and hard steamed buns and drank rice soup. When I was forced into a desperate situation, I ate wild fruits and vegetables. Aren't the street stalls better than those?" Zhan Beiyuan asked her back.
"I didn't expect you to have such experiences. You are quite able to endure hardships. Let's go, I will treat you to dinner tonight." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The two found a noodle stall. It was run by an older couple and there were quite a lot of customers. Everyone was eating noodles and chatting. When they saw Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan, they all looked at them.
Although the woman was not dressed in luxurious clothes, her delicate and exquisite face, as well as the holy aura that seemed to be otherworldly, made people dare not desecrate her. It was obvious at first glance that she was not a girl from an ordinary family.
The man was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with handsome features and unfathomable eyes, dark and cold. What made it even more difficult to ignore was the innate kingly aura he exuded, which made people afraid to approach him.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan found a table and sat down.
"What would you like to eat?" the old woman walked forward and asked with a kind smile.
"It's our first time here, so give us two bowls of your stall's signature noodles." Jiang Yunxi said with a faint smile. Judging from the other person's age, he should be in his sixties and was wearing simple, clean clothes.
"Okay, wait a moment." The old woman said and went back to the stove.
The man kneading the dough was an old man in his sixties, wearing a grey robe and very agile.
The old woman quickly cooked two bowls of fried egg noodles, added some lean meat, and sprinkled some chopped green onions on top, which looked particularly appetizing.
"Take your time and let me know if you're not satisfied."
"It looks delicious. We will like it." Jiang Yunxi said and picked up the chopsticks to eat. She was really hungry at the moment. After taking a bite, her face was full of satisfaction. She didn't expect that there was such delicious noodles hidden here.
"How do you feel, girl?" the old woman asked with a smile.
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said, "It's very delicious."
"That's good. It seems like this is your first time here. Enjoy your meal." The old woman said and left.
Zhan Beiyuan picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. It was the first time he had eaten this kind of noodles, and it tasted better than he had imagined.
Next.
The two of them ate noodles seriously, no one spoke, as if it was the middle of the night and they came here specifically to eat noodles.
"Get out of here! Dirty thing!"
Suddenly, an angry curse was heard.
Jiang Yunxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a skinny man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes picking up pig's trotter bones on the ground, but the person who spoke kicked him and the man fell to the ground, but he still held the pig's trotter tightly in his hand.
The old woman quickly stepped forward, looked at the guests and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'll send him away right away. Don't be angry, or it will affect your meal."
After hearing what she said, the customer said nothing and turned around to continue eating noodles.
"Here, I give it to you." The old woman handed a braised pig's trotter to the man with a kind and friendly smile on her face.
The man looked at her, took it with trembling hands, and quickly stood up and ran away after getting it, as if he was afraid that the thing in his hand would be snatched away.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at the man's receding figure, frowning slightly, "Do you want to help him?"
Jiang Yunxi shook his head. "No need to help him. He's dying."
Because the man, like her, was cursed.
