"I've heard the word "white head overnight", and I get old overnight...... Is this such a big blow if you can't pass the top prize? ”

The black-robed man shook his head: "For people like me, it's normal to fail the exam once, and it's expected to be two or three times." After all, the world is big and there are so many talented people, which is not something you and I can imagine. Because of a nightmare, I missed the opening of the course, I have depression, remorse, and self-blame in my heart, which is also true, but because I didn't take the exam and became depressed like an old man, does my wife think there can be such a strange thing in the world? ”

"Yes." Xing Ruyi pointed to the black-robed man in front of him.

The black-robed man was stunned for a moment and continued, "What about before me? Madame has seen or heard of it? ”

"There is nothing strange in the world, although I have never seen it, but it is not necessarily nothing."

"Madame said yes, but I'm not sick, but in a demonic barrier."

"Magic barriers? Interesting, let's talk about it. ”

The black-robed man glanced at Xing Ruyi, and was quite dissatisfied with her attitude, but because the fox was still standing in front of him, he forcibly suppressed the trace of displeasure in his heart.

"I also found out about this later. Growing old overnight, ordinary people can bear it, I just wanted to find a clean place to give myself to the knot, which can be regarded as coming quietly and leaving quietly. As a result, I overheard the conversation between the person from my hometown and others, and I realized that it was my father-in-law who was obstructing me and finding someone superior to deal with me. As for what the master did, I don't know, I only know that I didn't grow old because I was depressed, and it wasn't because I was suffering from some terrible disease. ”

"What about the basilisk? How did you get to the same place with that little green? ”

"Providence, just before I sought death, I met Xiaoqing who fell into the hunter's trap. At that time, I didn't know that she was a demon, but I just saw that she was a blue one, falling into a trap, dying and a little pitiful. So, he had a kind heart and saved her. She was badly injured, and I happened to know several herbs. Since she was saved, she was simply rescued. ”

"You saved Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing saved you when you wanted to find a short time, is that the case?"

"Yes! This is how I met Xiaoqing. It wasn't until she saved me that I knew she was a snake demon. But the person who is about to die, why is he afraid of whether the other party is a human or a demon. On that day, I was depressed, so I told her everything that had happened to me, and begged her to ask her to bury my bones if I died of old age. ”

"Xiaoqing agreed?"

"Yes, but she said she had a way to save me. She didn't know what kind of magic I was doing, but she was willing to help me in any way she could. After a few days, Xiaoqing brought back some pills to me, and after I took them, although my face did not change, my strength was much greater, and I no longer aged so rapidly. Later, I learned that this medicine was extremely difficult to come by. ”

"What does this have to do with you harming others?"

"Do you mean the young women? They are all the primers of my medicine. ”

"Sure enough, it has something to do with medicine."

"That's right. At first, when Xiaoqing told me about this, I was very disgusted and even severely reprimanded her. I'm not a virtuous person, but I don't want to do this kind of thing to the detriment of others. Can...... People change, especially when I heard that my father-in-law was forcing my wife to marry another person.

But although there are many women in the world, there are few suitable for medicine primers. In order to return to my original appearance as soon as possible and return to my hometown to reunite with my wife as soon as possible, I can only take risks and let Xiaoqing secretly help me screen girls who are suitable for medicine primers. In Xiaoqing's words, those young women are like herbs that we have carefully cultivated, and they only need to be ripe before they can be used for medicine. ”

"What about the beauty like jade paste?"

"It's just something extra. Secretly selecting, after all, it is time-consuming and laborious, so every once in a while, we will change places and use this Yufang Building as a cover. If you sell ordinary rouge gouache, you naturally can't attract attention, so Xiaoqing came up with such a method. With beauty like jade paste, attract those young women to come and buy. If we are born with the right primer for medicine, we will try to take it. If it is not suitable, we can also use this beauty like jade paste to make it our medicine. As for how it works, I don't think you want to know, ma'am. ”

"I'm curious, but I really don't want to know."

"Now that is the case, is there anything else Madame would like to ask?"

"The cat buried under the beam of Shopkeeper Liu's house, but your idea?"

"Cats?" The black-robed man was stunned for a moment: "I really don't know what the cat is talking about in the lady's mouth." ”

"Do you know a blind carpenter, then? Did you ever give him a pot of poisonous wine, the kind mixed with snake venom? ”

"Carpenter?" The black-robed man shook his head: "Madam and this gentleman should both know how to spell, right?" Since you know how to spell, you should be able to see that my Yufang Building is not a real thing, but a conjuring up through Xiaoqing's spell. Since it is transfiguration, there is naturally no need for carpenters. So, I never knew a blind carpenter. At the moment, although I am half-human and half-demon, my ability is limited, and Xiaoqing has no heart to give others any snake venom. To put it mildly, if Xiaoqing wants to kill someone, he only needs to bite the other party. ”

"It's really not you?"

"Right now, do I still have to deceive Madame?"

"It doesn't seem necessary." Xing Ruyi shook his hand relaxedly, "You just said that you are in a hurry to change back to your original appearance in order to return to your hometown to visit your wife. However, if you calculate carefully, it has been a few years since you started planning this matter until it is now revealed. Do you think your wife will still be waiting for you in your hometown? ”

"How many years?" The black-robed man stood up suddenly: "What years? ”

"As you just said, every once in a while, you and Xiaoqing will change places to rebuild Yufang Building. How long is this every once in a while? A month, two months, I don't see it. Your Yufang Building, just on this walnut village, has been in business for half a year. Have you carefully calculated the time here? ”

"Half a year! How can it be half a year? I remember it...... I remember ......" The black-robed man covered his head.

At this time, Xiaoqing came back, and when she saw the appearance of the black-robed man, she immediately conjured a long sword and stabbed it directly. Obviously, a snake demon who had only been cultivating for a hundred years was no match for the fox, and was easily subdued by the fox. Xing Ruyi didn't even bother to watch the process of fighting, but pulled the sleeve of the black-robed man and asked him, "Do you still want to go back to your hometown to see your wife?" ”

The black-robed man raised his head, his eyes were full of excitement, he didn't care about the pain from his head, and grabbed Xing Ruyi's hand hard.

When the three of them came to the door of the old mansion, the black-robed man was stunned. Probably the lonely old mansion in front of him was far away from the mansion in his impression, and he just stood stiffly at the door, not daring to take a step.

"Is this it?" Xing Ruyi asked.

"Yes! But it doesn't seem to be. My father-in-law's house, although it is not a rich family, but the house is not what we see now. ”

"More than ten years have passed, and the new house has become an old house, and according to your father-in-law's temperament, it is not impossible to lose the family business. Let's go, go in and see if you can find an acquaintance, and ask where your wife is at the moment. ”

Originally, I thought that when I entered the house, I might need to look for a while. Na Zhi, as soon as he entered the mansion, the black-robed man pointed to a maid and shouted.

"That's my wife's personal maid, called Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan is still there, proving that my wife has not remarried. ”

As he spoke, the black-robed man ran over. The footsteps were fast, Xing Ruyi couldn't stop it.

"Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan, what about Miss? Where's your young lady? ”

"Where are you from? In the middle of the night, why did he come to our house, and kept saying that he wanted to find our young lady. Okay, okay, if you have something to ask our young lady, just wait for tomorrow dawn to come back. While those people in the house haven't found you yet, go back quickly. ”

Xiaohuan said, standing on tiptoe, looking around, and then pulling the black-robed man to a place where he could avoid all light.

"Well, follow this road, let's get out quickly."

"Xiaohuan, I'm my uncle, I'm your uncle."

"Uncle? Why is your old man talking more and more crazy? Don't say that my aunt is in the house, and at your age, you can be my young lady's father. Alright, don't go crazy, get out of here. If someone else finds out, you'll die. ”

"Uncle? You mean your young lady......"

"Alright, let's go." Xiaohuan said, hurriedly pushed the black-robed man, and then quickly left with his things.

The black-robed man leaned against the tree on the side in disbelief: "Uncle, Xiaohuan just said that Uncle is in the mansion." Originally, I thought she would wait for me, but I didn't expect her to finally marry someone else. ”

"You have been gone for more than ten years, and your life and death are unknown, even if someone remarries, it is reasonable. However, since you've come here, why not take a look? If she is happy, you can be more or less at ease. ”

"Now that she's looking for another lover, why should I bother her again?"

"That's true, but I think you should take a look. Even if the husband and wife are destined, there must always be a beginning and an end, right? ”

Xing Ruyi said, giving the fox a look. As soon as the scene turned, it was outside the boudoir of the young lady or should I say the lady.

In the room, the maid Xiaohuan was whispering to her young lady about what had just happened. In her opinion, it may be a small accident, a small joke, which can be used to relieve the boredom of the young lady, but she didn't see that her young lady's face changed.

"Where is the old man you just talked about?"

"It's in the front yard, not far from the gate."

"Quick! Take me to him! ”

The young lady hurriedly got up, but was stopped by Xiaohuan.

"That's a crazy old man, in the middle of the night, what is the young lady going to see him?"

"Nope! He's not a crazy old man. The young lady muttered, pushed the ring open, and quickly opened the door.

At this time, she saw the black-robed man standing outside. Xiaohuan just wanted to scream, but was covered by the young lady who quickly turned around.
