People in twos and threes came from all directions and gathered at the entrance of the market to buy and sell and exchange what they had.
People were coming and going, shouting and making a lot of noise.
Susu!
After hearing the noise, Chu Chen opened his hazy eyes.
As far as the eye can see, there are pairs of feet walking back and forth. Some are wearing cloth shoes, some are wearing straw sandals, and some are simply barefoot.
The smell of feet, sourness, fishy smell, urine smell mixed with the strange smell of dust and grass assaults your nostrils.
Why am I lying on the ground?
Where is this?
Chu Chen quickly looked around.
This is a lively ancient market. The people around are all dressed in ancient clothes, wearing burlap clothes, carrying packages and cargo boxes, and there is a huge flow of people coming and going.
Before he could be surprised by his surroundings, what he discovered next made him dumbfounded.
He was curled up on the ground, with fluffy and messy hair all over his body. A pair of hooves were inserted into the soft soil. A rein was put on his head, and the other end was tied to a wooden stake. There were sheep, donkeys, mules and the like beside him.
"Companion" hooted and swung its tail.
Chu Chen: “?!”
Traveled through time? And turned into an animal?
Li Ke’s mother opened the door for Li Bu, and Li Bu was at home.
"Fellow, how much does this donkey cost?"
"It looks quite thin. It weighs less than 200 pounds. It's not half as big as my donkey. It's too thin."
"Why can't this donkey pull more? Fellow fellow, are you a sick donkey..."
Bang!
From time to time, someone would kick Chu Chen's donkey butt and look him back and forth.
Chu Chen was dumbfounded.
Thin donkey? Sick donkey?
He can accept time travel, but selling it on the street dressed as a donkey is unacceptable.
Xu was so excited that his mind jolted, and a large number of memories rushed into his mind.
He just woke up and fell asleep again.
...
The moon shines on the green moss, and yellow leaves float on the steps.
Chu Chen once again woke up from the earth temple in a dilapidated deserted village.
The fire glowed slightly, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Black shadows came and went, pots were set up to boil water, and firewood crackled loudly.
"The donkey has woken up. Master, what next is going to be cutting the neck to bleed, boiling water to pluck out the hair..."
A childish voice cheered in surprise, from far to near.
Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Cut the neck to bleed, boil the water to pluck out the hair...
Hey guys, is this steamed or grilled?
Chu Chen was shocked. The whole person, no, the whole donkey stood up. He used too much force and the reins pulled his head, causing a dull pain in his neck.
He wanted to shout loudly, but unfortunately his tongue was stiff and he could not utter a single human word, only "donkey braying" and whining.
It’s over!
Chu Chen lost all hope and felt bitter in his heart.
He is considered the worst among the time travellers. Not only did he turn from a human into a donkey inexplicably, this would also put his life in danger.
Chu Chen deliberately broke away from the reins and was looking at the wooden stakes beside him.
A Taoist boy who was about ten years old, with red lips, white teeth, and fair skin came over.
He untied the leash from the stake and roughly pulled the reins, as if he was about to pull him to the fire and stone pot for bloodletting and shaving.
Xiao Daotong was small in stature, but surprisingly strong. Chu Chen staggered and almost fell down.
"Little devil, don't be violent!"
At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest in green robes took three steps at a time, grabbed the reins from the little Taoist boy's hands, and scolded:
"I asked you to come here, and you just force me to do so? It's outrageous!"
The little Taoist boy touched the bun on his head, looked innocent, and murmured:
"This is not a deity enshrined in the temple. The vegetarian food offered to the temple of the five internal organs does not need to be so polite!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at the Taoist boy angrily:
"Who said this is eating? I don't have any eyesight."
The little Taoist boy was stunned. It was not for food. Could it be used for transportation?
Look at how thin this donkey is. It looks like a sick donkey. It can't ride well enough and can't carry an adult man at all. What else can the master do if he doesn't buy it as a tooth-beating sacrifice?
While the old man and the young man were talking,
Chu Chen found a mostly broken earthen jar nearby, which was filled with clean water.
Obviously, the water in the earthen jar was used by the Taoist priest and the Taoist boy to drink.
water!
Chu Chen's eyes lit up.
In his last life, he heard a story about "creating animals". After a person was transformed into an animal by some heretical and mysterious magic, he only needed to drink water to unlock the "spell" and transform back into a human body.
A glimmer of hope surged in Chu Chen's heart.
Since things like "animal creation" exist, the solution is definitely not groundless.
Thinking of this, he didn't think much, he rushed towards the broken earthen jar and drank a lot of water.
The movement here suddenly attracted the attention of two people, one large and one small.
The Taoist boy exclaimed: "Master, your water!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest looked surprised and said secretly: "You actually know how to break the law by drinking water."
Gulu gulu!
Chu Chen drank half of the jar of water in one gulp, leaving not a drop left.
According to the stories about ghosts and ghosts, after drinking enough water, he can roll on the ground and transform into a human form while the dust is flying.
However, things will work out.
For a long while, nothing happened.
Chu Chen was stunned on the spot.
There are heresies in this world similar to the "animal creation technique". The legendary method of cracking it doesn't work?
This time he won't be able to stop him.
It's over, everything is over.
Chu Chen cried out in his heart.
But at this moment, the middle-aged Taoist priest spoke.
"Folks, there is no need to panic. This animal-creating technique is an unusual blinding technique. It cannot be broken by drinking water. Please wait for a while, and I will cast a spell to restore your body later."
The little Taoist boy on the side looked at Chu Chen up and down in surprise, and murmured to himself, "Oh, it turns out he is a human, what a pity!"
Chu Chen was stunned.
Is this Taoist priest saving himself?
In the current situation, there is no other way but to trust the Taoist priests.
So Chu Chen nodded repeatedly, quite obediently.
The middle-aged Taoist nodded slightly, turned around, took out the wooden box, rummaged through the cabinets, and took out yellow talisman paper, ink pens, cinnabar and other items.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged Taoist found a stone slab, took a deep breath, calmed his breath, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The shadowy shadows on the side stopped, and even the chirping Taoist boy seemed very quiet, as if he was afraid of disturbing the middle-aged Taoist priest.
Chu Chen was also very nervous, his breathing could not help but slow down, and he stared blankly at the Taoist priest drawing talismans and casting spells.
But see,
The middle-aged Taoist has a thunder seal in his left hand, a sword formula in his right hand, and a Gang step on his feet. The word "Kui Gang" is faintly stamped on the steps as he marches.
Immediately afterwards, the Taoist wrote with great eloquence and ink.
In the blink of an eye, a mysterious and complex talisman appeared on the paper.
Among the complicated patterns of the talisman, ten characters "gold, wood, water, fire, earth" and "liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys" are faintly visible.
The middle-aged Taoist priest finished drawing the talisman and sat upright in the seal.
The curse says:
"The sky will be clear and the earth will be peaceful. You will live forever. Ghosts and gods will destroy themselves. Demons and demons will disappear. Anyone who dares to disobey will be escorted to Jiu Ming. I am following the order of Mr. Jiuhou of Sanshan to take pictures!"
"Photography!"
As the Taoist shouted loudly, the magic talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, turning into dots of fire and shooting towards Chu Chen's body.
In an instant, five majestic divine figures appeared around him, and an indescribable pressure was overwhelming.
Hurry!!!
Chu Chen only felt a surge of pain in his body. His face was distorted and his whole body was exuding thick black energy. A shrill scream broke out from his body.
"call out!"
Immediately afterwards, a twisted black energy escaped from Chu Chen's body, trying to escape.
"Evil! Where can I run!"
The middle-aged Taoist made a sword with one hand and turned it into a claw with the other hand to grab it.
But see,
In the Taoist's palm, a ball of black energy turned into a mini donkey, kicking its hooves wildly, struggling and neighing.
