Shangguan Qi's whole person looked extremely weak, and even standing there was a shaky appearance.

His face was blue, his eyes were also blue, and his cheeks were sunken on both sides, not to mention that he was haunted by ghosts, even if he said that he was a ghost, I am afraid that some people would believe it.

It's just that Zuo Xingyan has never been afraid of ghosts, let alone haunting.

"Haunted? Then I'm even more curious, dare to ask what the hell is going on in this shop? ”

Zuo Xingyan said as he walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

"The Hangman? The Ghost in Red? Unjustly killed? Dead ghosts? Or is it a starving ghost? Zuo Xingyan asked as if he was joking.

From the moment Zuo Xingyan said that the hanged ghost, Shangguan Qi's body began to tremble, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet, barely holding on to the table to support his body.

His lips twitched for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"Girl, don't ask! My shop is no longer for sale, so please leave quickly! Shangguan Qi held back for a long time before closing his eyes and shouting loudly.

Zuo Xingyan happened to walk near the counter at this time, and she was about to ask, when she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance in her nose.

The aroma came suddenly, with an indescribable smell, straight into the nose.

Zuo Xingyan was stunned for a moment, raised his feet away from the counter, and the aroma disappeared abruptly.

The aroma came and went quickly, and before Zuo Xingyan could react, it was already gone.

He didn't even give her a chance to take precautions.

Zuo Xingyan suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, she turned around and wanted to ask Shangguan, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a red figure flashing on the second floor.

She chuckled in her heart, and her first instinct was to raise her foot to catch up.

The stairs leading to the second floor were covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had gone upstairs for a long time, and no one had cleaned them.

Where did the red figure come from?

Zuo Xingyan ran up, stood at the top of the stairs and looked left and right, only to see an empty corridor.

Zuo Xingyan didn't believe in evil, and was about to raise his foot to push a few doors in the corridor, but in the next second, a touch of red appeared again in the corner of his eye.

Why did you run to the back door on the first floor again?!

Zuo Xingyan twisted her eyebrows, wanting to continue chasing after her, but reason stopped her.

Wrong......

I always felt that something was wrong.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Jing Beihan, who caught up, saw Zuo Xingyan's expression stunned, and he was worried about asking.

Zuo Xingyan glanced at Jing Beihan's dark eyes, "Did you see a red figure?" Moves fast. ”

"Red figures?" Jing Beihan frowned, and his expression was a little solemn, "I haven't seen it." ”

Why is she the only one who can see it?

A layer of dense fog surged up in Zuo Xingyan's heart, and at this moment, Shangguan Qi approached the back door on the first floor at some point.

When she looked over there, she found a miserable white hand sticking out from behind the curtain of the back door, about to grab Shangguan Qi's neck.

"Be careful!" Zuo Xingyan didn't think about it, and raised his hand to throw a wind blade.

With a bang, the door curtain broke in response, and Shangguan Qi froze in place.

Zuo Xingyan looked fixedly, where was there any hand at the back door......

Wrong! Not haunted! It's someone who is making trouble!

Zuo Xingyan closed her eyes and didn't look around, and after trying to calm herself, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jing Beihan, "Jing Beihan, I'm thirsty." ”

When Jing Beihan heard this, he quickly pulled Shangguan Qi and asked him to find water.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zuo Xingyan took a sip of spiritual spring water.

As soon as the spiritual spring water entered the stomach, his mind suddenly became clear.

Zuo Xingyan used her ability to surround herself with an impermeable wind wall, and she slowly approached the counter.

This time there was a wall of wind, and I didn't smell any more strange smells after getting closer.

Zuo Xingyan fumbled behind the counter for a while, and finally found a palm-sized paper bag.

The paper bag was wrapped in a black and swarthy object, paste-like, and a little sticky to the tentacles.

Zuo Xingyan wrapped a wisp of breath in the wind and sent it to his nose, and found that the strange fragrance was emitted by this thing!

Could it be that this is a spice?

Walking all the way on the street just now, Zuo Xingyan also saw a lot of spice sellers, and even the smell of passers-by passing by was different.

The people of Yue seem to love spices very much, and the last time Zuo Xingyan was able to recognize the second prince Ah Yan, he also recognized him by the unique smell of the spices he used.

Ordinary spices are just fumigated clothes, which makes people smell and feel good. But the spices of the Treasure Pavilion are obviously harmful!

Based on her reaction alone, Zuo Xingyan preliminarily concluded that this black thing could make people hallucinate.

Jing Beihan came over with water, Zuo Xingyan was afraid that he would smell the smell, so he hurriedly put the spices into the space.

The moment the spice disappears, the aroma quickly dissipates.

Zuo Xingyan took a sip of water and made a judgment again.

The aroma of this spice is extremely unsustainable and has a very small diffusion range.

The aroma of such a large piece of spice can only be smelled near the counter, and if you take a step away, you can't smell it.

And looking at Shangguan Qi's appearance, he didn't know that such a thing was hidden in the counter.

"Tell me how haunted you are in this shop." Zuo Xingyan put down the teacup and walked in front of Shangguan Qi.

Shangguan Qi's frightened appearance at this time seemed to be frightened by the sudden breaking of the door curtain.

He glanced at Zuo Xingyan in a trance, and estimated that his brain was not clear, so he said it without hesitation at all.

Just a few years ago, the Shangguan family was still a well-known spice family in the city, and his family's spice business spread almost all over the country.

Master Shangguan, that is, Shangguan Qi's father, in order to expand the spice business, planned to develop some new products, and he went to many mountains to find new spice raw materials.

Not long after, Master Shangguan was sent back in a coma, saying that he fell down while climbing the mountain and was seriously injured.

At that time, only Shangguan's friends accompanied him into the mountain.

A friend said that Master Shangguan found a strange spice, but he was too eager to pick it, and he accidentally fell down the hillside.

Master Shangguan was not rescued in the end, leaving only his wife and children and a large family.

Mrs. Shangguan was a woman who had no opinions, so she asked a friend of Master Shangguan to help her manage the family business.

A friend agreed, and the business of the Shangguan family was not affected much in the first two years, and they still made money every day.

But since Shangguan grew up and took over the family business, the business of the Shangguan family has deteriorated, and even Shangguan's wife has been seriously ill, and it didn't take long for her to die.

Because some spice shops in the family had no business, they were all sold by Shangguan in order to treat Mrs. Shangguan's illness at first.

Even some small shops were left in the end.

Everyone in the world said that Shangguan Qi was not only a loser, but also a mourning star, saying that Shangguan's family would be destroyed in his hands sooner or later.

At that time, the Shangguan family only had the Treasure Pavilion as a shop, because it sold jewelry, not spices, but survived to the end.

Shangguan Qi originally wanted to run the Treasure Pavilion well, at least to keep the last bit of his family's property, but he didn't think about it, and a woman died on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
