"Shaohua is easy to pass away, red faces are easy to grow old, it is difficult to stay in an instant, and red faces and dry bones turn into sand."

The old woman in white said what Wang Runqing seemed to understand, walked to her side, the wrinkles on her face turned into a hideous net under the squeeze of her smile, she opened her toothless mouth, revealing the scarlet flesh inside, "Girl, instead of secretly feeling sad here, it is better to let the old body help you." ”

Wang Runqing's mind is now in chaos, and her intuition tells her that the treacherous old woman in front of her is by no means a good person, but in a desperate situation, it seems that she is not so sensitive to fear, and she unconsciously blurted out, "How can you help me?" ”

The old lady in white smiled, "People can't escape old age, but if you use another way to keep yourself young, it's not a good thing." ”

"Eternal youth?" Wang Runqing repeated these four words, she stared at the ground blankly for a while, and suddenly, her knees bent and knelt down towards the old lady, "Mother-in-law, as long as I can be young forever, I am willing to do anything." ”

The old lady glanced at her, and a smile overflowed from the corner of her eyes, "Really? ”

This cold smile made Wang Runqing freeze, but she was only stunned for a moment, and then she strengthened her belief, "I have only had this beautiful face since I was a child, and other than that, I can't do anything, if my youth is not there, I will lose everything, and there will be no place for me to live in this world, so it is better to die." ”

"Dead?" The old lady in white snickered, "Okay, then the old body will fulfill you." ”

Fulfill me? Wang Runqing went through these three words in her mind, but she didn't understand her words for a while, what is it to fulfill me? Let me stay young forever? Still is...... Still is......

However, before she could think clearly, she saw the old woman take out a wine gourd from her wide cuffs, yellow and round, and when the stopper was removed, a peculiar fragrance wafted out.

Wang Runqing sniffed a few times in the air, "Mother-in-law, what is this?" This thing can make me look the same? ”

The old lady in white ignored her, she knocked the gourd in the palm of her hand a few times, poured out a small pile of powdered things, and then, her fingertips gently plucked a few times on the pinch of white powder, and then she looked at Wang Runqing again, "You want to stay at this age forever, right?" ”

Wang Runqing just wanted to answer yes, but she always felt that what she said was not right, and there seemed to be other deep meanings, so she closed her mouth and swallowed the word "yes" into her stomach.

"Why don't you answer me? If you want to look old, you can't be any longer, not even half a year old. Someone once told me that she was being tortured every extra day now, because, maybe the next morning, she would see that she had an extra gray hair and an extra wrinkle, so what she was most afraid of was time, and she couldn't even hear the sound of the morning bell and the dusk drum, so she sealed the windows and hid the mirrors in the house, for fear that she would be stained with a trace of old age, heh......" The old lady in white smiled lightly again, "However, this is just covering her ears and stealing the bell, time is a devil, Running forward all the time, bringing people from youth to aging, from life to death, no one is an exception. Therefore, if you don't want to be bound by it, you can only go one step ahead of it and leave yourself in this flower-like age forever. ”

Wang Runqing was so frightened by these words that she trembled, and now, she finally realized the horror of the old woman in front of her, every wrinkle of her was like an arrogant and fierce poisonous snake, lying across her old face, and the scattered gray hair, whirring forward by the wind, pierced Wang Runqing's white face, bringing a smell of blood.

However, Wang Runqing still maintained a kneeling posture and couldn't move, because the old lady in white pressed her shoulder with one hand, and covered it hard with the other hand, smearing the white powder in her palm on her head and body.

There were only a small handful of white powder, but as soon as they stuck to the human skin, they seemed to grow feet, running down her face and neck, and in a short time, they covered every inch of her body.

At first, she only felt slippery and unwell.

However, the skin on the top of her head suddenly made a "hiss" sound, and then, something seemed to slide slowly down her body, and every inch she slid through, a heart-rending pain rolled up, the pain was so intense that she couldn't even cry out for help, her whole consciousness was shattered by this huge pain, and even her breath trembled.

Finally, the thing completely shed from her body, and Wang Runqing still maintained her kneeling position, but now she was cold, and the wind on her face and body on the summer night was as painful as a whip.

She slowly raised her arms, and a scarlet ...... appeared in front of her

"My skin, where's my skin?"

These were the last words she had left in the world, and time finally stood still in her, and she fell to the ground with a bang, and a white shadow was reflected in her eyes that had not yet been closed.

The old lady in white picked up the human skin on the ground, shook it lightly in the air a few times, and then shook off the clothes on it, she folded it a few times, stuffed the human skin into the cuffs, and slowly walked forward along the Bianhe River.

"Shaohua is easy to pass away, red face is easy to get old, it is difficult to stay in an instant, red face and dry bones become sand......"

"Dada...... Click-and-click......"

***

He Xu stood next to the Donghua Gate, looking at the vast night in a daze, the two lights in the distance suddenly turned into the eyes he saw during the day, they were smart and bright, just like his mother.

"General, let's just do the night patrol, why do you bother to do it." He Xu's deputy Li Hong said on the side.

"It's an eventful time, and I can't always let go if I don't pay attention to it."

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in the night in the distance, also in armor, and shouted at He Xu as he ran, "General, general, there is a situation in Gongchen Gate, please hurry up and go with your subordinates." ”

When He Xu arrived, several soldiers were standing under the palace wall, searching for something along the road, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "General, when a few of us were standing guard just now, we saw a white shadow and went up along the wall, but we chased all the way, but we didn't find anything. ”

"Can you see what he looks like?" He Xu Zhengse asked.

"The clothes are wide and wide, and they don't look like the clothes of the Central Plains, but his speed is too fast, and his subordinates can't see the rest clearly."

He Xu looked inside the wall, which led to the harem, where the concubines lived. He nodded at Li Hong, and the two of them walked towards the palace gate together.
