Tan Manxing sat in the sedan chair without covering her head with a veil as required, but instead leaned close to the window and carefully observed the situation outside.
There was a vast expanse of white outside the window, and the mist was still slowly spreading. Soon she could no longer see the surroundings clearly.
As time passed, almost when she estimated the time should have come, the sound of jumping footsteps came from the distance.
Tan Manxing blinked his black eyes and listened carefully to the approaching footsteps.
There were two people coming. Their footsteps were very light, but their voices were heard from far away.
Not like a living person.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips slightly, did not lift the curtain, but waited quietly for the two ghosts to jump into the yard.
As they got closer, Tan Manxing saw that Xiaobai on his wrist did not react, and he was basically certain that it was not a living creature.
Boom!
Two heavy footsteps stopped in front and behind the sedan chair.
Through the window, Tan Manxing saw a dark shadow getting closer and closer to the sedan chair. Realizing that they wanted to check what was going on inside the sedan chair, they quickly took the veil and covered her head with it.
Almost at the moment she closed the lid, two strange paper figures with pale faces and red cheeks appeared in front of the windows on both sides of the sedan.
The two porters are made of paper, and their eyes and mouths look fake, but the paper eyes seem to move, and it is scary when they stare at you.
The two paper figures looked at the way Tan Manxing sat in the sedan chair, looked at each other, turned their eyes and retracted their heads, then mechanically walked to the front and back of the sedan chair, lifted it up not as clumsily as when they came, but ran away carrying it as lightly as a wild goose.
Tan Manxing felt the sedan moving, and silently closed his eyes and paid attention to the surrounding situation.
This is the children's side.
Because the white fog obscured his vision, he could only see two blurry figures holding the sedan chair and running away.
He was staring intently at the sedan chair bearer whose skin looked strange.
Unexpectedly, the moment the sedan chair was carried out of the yard, his mind suddenly became confused.
What a bummer!
The white mist only spread in the courtyard of the village road, and Tong Leren thought he was fine.
I realized that this white mist not only blocked people's vision, but it could also make others faint without any color or odor even in the house.
When he was about to lose consciousness, he quickly took out a sachet and took a whiff.
Although it was too late, he could have woken up earlier.
This is Tan Manxing's side.
She didn't know that Tong Le Ren was such a hindrance. She stayed quietly in the sedan chair for a while, and asked Xiao Bai to be her spy. After confirming that there was no danger, she quietly pulled down her veil.
She looked at the white mist that had drifted into the sedan without panicking.
She knew that the white mist was poisonous, but fortunately she grew up in a poison barrel.
She can withstand this level of drug without taking any medicine.
She carefully looked out the window at the scenery and found that she was heading towards the mountains.
She was not surprised. Seeing that there was no one around except the two people who stabbed themselves, she quietly took out the white powder from her waist and sprinkled a small amount out of the window.
After finishing everything, she calmly adjusted her breathing and waited for what she would face next.
She left Zi Gu for Tong Le Ren, and Zi Gu would bring him here later.
But in case the distance was too far and Zi Gu couldn't find her, she had to make preparations for both scenarios.
After a bumpy ride, Tan Manxing felt the sedan stopped and quickly covered himself with the handkerchief and leaned against the sedan, pretending to be unconscious.
Soon she felt two corpses with a faint stench of decay lifting her up.
The smell is actually very mild, and an outsider might mistake it for a living person.
But she had been dealing with poisonous insects since she was a child, and she was sure that both of them were turned into unconscious corpses after their death, and their bodies relied on poisonous insects to maintain their functions.
Tan Manxing closed his eyes and listened carefully to the noises along the way. He opened his eyes only after hearing the sound of the door closing.
She was carried to a stone bed and her limbs were tied to the bed with iron chains.
She raised her hand to try and found that the chain was not very thick, so she used her internal strength to break it. She sat up, pulled down the veil on her face, turned her head and looked around.
She was in a house made out of a cave.
Apart from the stone bed, there were only some iron tools hanging on the opposite wall. The iron bed under her had a faint smell of rust, and there was brown dirt in some places.
When Tan Manxing realized that it was blood, he jumped off the bed with some disgust.
She slapped her wedding dress hard and it fell apart, revealing her purple dress from underneath.
She had explored the road just now herself and also sent out poisonous insects to observe the situation around. Although there were a few of these paper figures, they were not well made. It was obvious that the person behind the scenes was no match for her.
She moved the wedding dress to the corner, then stood in the corner of the entrance, quietly waiting for the person behind the scenes to appear.
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the door. She gripped the dagger at her waist and stared at the door.
The man was wrapped in a black robe and had a red mask on his face, so his figure and appearance could not be seen.
When the red-faced man saw that the bride was gone from the bed, he stopped in his tracks. Before he could observe, a cold light flashed in his face.
Tan Manxing didn't give him time to hesitate and attacked him with deadly blows.
After a few rounds of fighting, Tan Manxing looked at the red-faced man who was dealing with the situation easily, quickly stepped back, and threw out a few silver needles from his waist.
Under the cover of the silver needles, the two scorpions on her body quickly crawled from her ankles to the ground and quickly approached the red-faced man.
The red-faced man waved his sleeves to avoid the attack of the silver needles, but before he could launch a counterattack, he felt a sharp pain in his calf.
The red-faced man threw out a smoke bomb with a calm look and quickly disappeared in the smoke.
Tan Manxing covered her mouth and nose and quickly retreated. When she chased out, the red-faced man was no longer in the dark corridor. Instead, the paper-made men from before were rushing towards her with ferocious expressions, waving axes and staring at her.
She watched the corpses move so quickly, flexing their wrists while standing still.
Before she could move, the little white snake on her wrist swayed and arched its body, blinking its gem-like red eyes and staring quietly at the group of paper figures rushing towards her.
As it spit out its signature from time to time, the group of paper figures collapsed to the ground halfway through their run.
Soon, many poisonous insects crawled out from the eyes, noses and mouths of the corpses and scattered to all corners.
Seeing these poisonous little creatures trying to run away, Tan Manxing patted Xiaobai in his hand and let it go down to eat.
Those originally ferocious paper figures began to rot and stink at a speed visible to the naked eye after losing the control of these poisonous insects.
After a while, he recovered to the state he had been in since he was dead for a long time.
The foul smell in the air made Tan Manxing frown. She took out a small bottle and poured it on the ground.
After a while, the plum blossom scent in the bottle dissipated and the corpses turned into ashes.
Tan Manxing ignored Xiaobai who was still eating and quickly walked towards the aisle.
Perhaps the red-faced man didn't expect that the person who came to cause trouble for him was so strong.
In short, Tan Manxing easily turned the cave upside down.
She looked at the simple house and after confirming that the red-faced man was still inside, she quickened her pace to chase him.
bump!
