At the end of more than a day's trip, Hou Cunxin did not give a clear answer at the destination, in this case, after the two of them calmly enjoyed a hotel-style dinner, they sat at the common table in the common room. There was really no nightlife in the countryside to divert their attention, and when they were tired they wanted to rest, and when they were hungry they wanted to eat, but when they had eaten and drunk enough to rest, they had to sit here and stare wide-eyed.

The main problem was not Ria's fault, she sat at one end of the table near her own bed, when the table was clean and there was no poker. Only looked at Hou Cunxin's hands rubbing the teacup, which were a pair of palms that were more powerful than Liya, but at the moment it was not gearing for a possible battle.

"Are we going to sit like this until dawn?" Liya drooped her arm and asked Hou Cunxin, hoping to get an obvious task, just like ordinary people like to play RPG games, if she could get more direct assignments, Liya would be happier.

"Of course not." Hou Cunxin said this categorically, and at the same time, the expression on his face was naturally so good that there was no improvement, which made Liya look forward to it, but the next sentence was added, which immediately made Liya smile helplessly: "Isn't it going to become a pig when you go to bed immediately after you are full, you must sit down and rest, and ??? Come, I'll pour you a cup of tea from the countryside. ”

Without giving Liya a chance to react, Hou Cunxin naturally reached out and grabbed the teapot and opened the cup in front of Liya and poured it downward, and the tea leaves in the country teacup were buckled in a hollow space at the bottom of the cup. When boiling water is poured into it, you can clearly hear the sound of tea leaves and water blending from the bottom of the cup.

Like the sound of water pouring on a rag, the tea leaves stirred, and at the same time the whole cup of liquid turned into a visible light green, not the heaviness of the pigment, but a very bland softness. The tea that arrived near the mouth of the cup stopped pouring out, but what didn't stop from that moment was the fragrance that rushed to the corners of the room. This aroma is so strange that it is not normal, but just smelling it makes people feel more comfortable, and the tired and full microcapsules are undergoing a strange transformation under the effect of the aroma at the same time.

Liya didn't have the time to drink carefully, so she took a small sip and looked at Hou Cunxin again and said, "What to do next." Don't tell me that there is a crisis around me and let me sleep with my eyes closed. "No one can reassure Leah like that. She really wanted to rush outside the house and find any demons and threaten to pieces.

But no, Hou Cunxin, who was still on the move, also took a sip before slowly saying his thoughts: "Your worries have always been in my thinking, but now I will ask you if you have found that danger has really appeared at this moment, and have you ever found a little bit of dark magic of a harmful nature." Even the water we ate and drank was not a problem after I checked it several times with a spell. What is the suspicion. Think about it and see if it's like me. The difference is already being noticed. ”

Liya thought about it, she didn't know where the suspicion was, but since Hou Cunxin said that he had found something. And it was Mr. Zak who appointed Hou Cunxin here to solve this strange hidden danger, so what Hou Cunxin said must be true. But what the hell, little by little, Liya thought about their entry into the town, remembering the terrain, the weather, and the people coming and going a few hours ago.

It wasn't anything particularly different, but when she remembered the only old lady in the inn, Liya always had something in her heart that she couldn't say. After thinking about it twice, Liya read the word old lady twice in her heart, and then looked at Hou Cunxin with a light in her eyes: "I think the age of the hostess of the inn is not right, or the appearance is really strange." ”

What's strange, Liya doesn't mean that this old lady has six eyes or three legs, this kind of thing itself is unrealistic, in the absence of the possibility of illusion magic, the strangeness comes from her appearance.

Just looking at people in their seventies made Liya unconsciously think of the word young, as if the female shopkeeper they were facing was not an old grandmother but a big mother, and this age span was about a generation, which came from the appearance and actual dynamics of the proprietress. The appearance of a middle-aged woman who is an elderly person with the ability to move but is full of middle-aged vigor is no accident in such a town, because the small towns near Jinling City have not reported the possibility of a longevity village.

This level of maintenance is more like a rejuvenation technique, not an illusion???

"Your point is right, just like you feel intuitively, this old man is quite quick to act, whether it is hearing, vision or reflexes, she is more like an aunt in her forties, so guess what can make her look good?" Hou Cunxin stretched out his hand and asked Liya, but the answer had already come out, what would cause such a thing as being old and vigorous against the laws of nature must be the special effects caused by some spells of demons, and the most representative alchemy and immortal elixir rumors of the other world actually relied on the doctrine of demonic spells to develop downward.

"There is a demon who has cast a spell on her, not a soul or illusion, so this human woman, including everyone in the town, is not controlled by the demon, they have their own will, which is similar to the information provided by Mr. Zack, and it is also consistent with the possibility that the inhabitants voluntarily defected to the demon you mentioned, but why?" Liya gulped down a cup of tea, and then summed up in her own words what happened to the female shopkeeper and possibly to other townspeople. "In other words, the demon did not harm the people and spiritual veins here, did not occupy this place, but used spells, and cruelly made the face of the proprietress in her forties into a grandmother, although it is very bad taste, but what effect can it have, and the townspeople will assist the demon forces behind the scenes because of this?"

After listening carefully to what Liya said, Hou Cunxin officially had a smile on his face, and then he giggled as if he had been laughed at until Liya showed a somewhat angry expression. Hou Cunxin touched his smiling face and said in a half-serious state: "I thought you really understood what I meant, but I didn't expect my suggestion to make you misunderstand the opposite." ”

After saying that, I wanted to laugh again, I felt that Liya seemed to have made a stupid explanation, or Liya slapped Hou Cunxin's upper body to force the young man to be tighter, and he was really nervous at the moment, Hou Cunxin stopped selling Guan Zi and slowly explained: "It's not what you think, the devil makes people in their forties become more than seventy, but the devil makes the old man in his seventies as flexible as the forty-year-old." That's where the problem comes from, the demons didn't kill the inhabitants, they gave up their assault on this magical land, and used this method to make the inhabitants of it grateful, and to rule it in another way. The reason why they don't use their usual means of war to plunder is because the land here may be full of special spirits, and this kind of place is simply like a rich and explosive oil reserve base, like a hot braised pork, they dare not be strong, and we dare not.
