The red candle lights flickered, and Shen Qijian pushed open the door and walked in lightly.

The demon waved at him and motioned for him to sit down.

Shen Qiji hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the bed and sat next to the demon.

Like a wooden man, he sat motionless beside the demon, silent.

The demon asked, "Don't you want to talk to me about something?" ”

Shen Qiji turned his face sideways, looked at the face behind the red veil, and said in a low voice: "I know, you don't really want to marry me, do you?" ”

The demon was shocked: "Did someone tell you?" ”

Shen Qiji lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I can feel it, from the first time I saw you, I could see that you didn't like me, and you didn't want to marry me." ”

The demon didn't know what to say, so he stretched out his hand and patted Shen Qiji's shoulder as if comfortingly.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have involved you." The demon said this silently in his heart.

"Will it really succeed?" A hint of eager anticipation flashed in Shen Qiji's eyes, and he suddenly asked.

"What?" The demon was a little surprised.

"Your plan." Shen Qiji's voice was very low, "About the plan to break the blood curse." ”

The demon was even more surprised: "How do you know?" But they promised me not to tell you this. ”

"They didn't tell me, I guessed it myself." Shen Qiji hurriedly explained, "It's been a long time since no outsider is willing to marry into the village of no return. ”

Seeing that the demon did not reply, Shen Qiji thought that he would not be able to make the other party believe his words for this reason alone, so he seriously looked at the faint eyes behind the veil, and continued: "I asked the uncle, you are going back to the village with your cousin Shen Si. ”

"Indeed." The demon nodded subconsciously.

"My cousin is newly married, my sister-in-law has a broken arm, and you come back with your cousin, which means that you met on your cousin's way to sacrifice or on the way back to the village." Shen Qiji thought about it, shook his head and denied his statement, "You should have witnessed your cousin's sacrifice before deciding to come to the village with him to investigate the truth." ”

The demon can't help but secretly admire: this young man not only has the ability to never forget, but also has the wisdom of the demon. Although he witnessed this incident with his own eyes, he guessed the whole thing with the clues of two or three small talks.

"The most important point, and one that makes me confident that you are capable of breaking the blood curse, is the wound on my sister-in-law's broken arm. The injury of the broken arm is handled properly, and she has to be carefully nursed for several months, but her injury is only a few days, and it has almost healed. Shen Qiji moistened his dry lips with his tongue and continued, "All this shows that my sister-in-law must have received help from a master. And there are only three of you in the village. ”

"In addition, my uncle suddenly found me and told me ......"

Shen Qiji's already low voice sank a little more: "Tell me that the daughter of the old man is going to marry me......"

When he said this, Shen Qiji lowered his head, even through the red veil, he didn't dare to look at the demon.

"You're smart." The demon couldn't help but sigh.

"Everybody says that." Shen Qiji hung his head and whispered.

"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" The demon asked.

Shen Qiji suddenly raised his head, and a light rekindled in his eyes, but it was soon like being extinguished by water.

"I want to be a member." Shen abandoned the road.

"You are so smart, if you have a heart, you will definitely become a generation of famous ministers." Demon Dao.

"But......" Shen Qi was about to speak, and stopped.

"You're worried about the blood curse of the village of no return, right?" The demon said a word to break through Shen Qi's worries.

Shen Qiji didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Don't worry, although my sister can't really marry you, but the matter of the blood curse will definitely help you settle it." The demon patted his chest and reassured.

Shen Qiji's gloomy eyes rekindled the flame of hope, just like the nine heavens, the sun, moon and stars, immortal.

"Jiangzhou is big, but it is not rich. The north, in particular, suffers from famine all year round. A hundred years ago, in order to solve the problem of food shortage, the god of war general did not hesitate to cross the Weishui with a large army and start an all-out war with Zhongzhou. These words seemed to have been suppressed in Shen Qiji's heart for a long time, like the dream that seemed unattainable before. He looked at the demon with hopeful eyes, and continued, "It's a pity that the God of War General I was brave, but he couldn't escape the hero's end and disappeared. And I, if I want to solve the scourge of famine that has plagued Jiangzhou for thousands of years, I will not raise troops, not ignite the flames of war, follow the law of Qin Martingale, use business to support agriculture, and transfer grain from the south to the north, which will definitely protect Jiangzhou's eternal foundation. ”

The more Shen Qiji spoke, the more difficult it was to hide his enthusiasm, and his voice became higher and higher, but the demon looked at him seriously through the red veil, without saying a word.

Suddenly, the red candle dimmed, Shen Qiji came back to his senses, in order to hide the embarrassment, he walked to the square table to check the candle flame, he thought that the door was not covered, and there was a wind through the hall that disturbed the candle flame, but when he took a closer look, the candle flame was directly extinguished.

A huge black mist shrouded him from all directions, thicker than the night.

Silent fear also struck along with the darkness, overwhelming Shen Qi's breath.

In a trance, he saw a huge black figure pounce in the direction of the demon. Shen Qiji forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and also ran towards the place where the demon was sitting.

Originally, it was only a few steps away, but at this moment, it seemed to be separated by countless mountains and rivers, and he tried his best to grab the demon's hand, but he could only watch the other party be dragged away by the humanoid black mist.

Then, the candle flame in the house was rekindled, and the door was slammed open from the outside.

Shen Qiji saw that the white-haired man with a beautiful face was the first to rush in, followed by the other handsome strange man.

Of course he remembered their names, white-haired Muyu and black-haired Pujia, they were all friends of the demon.

"Where's the goblin?" As soon as Mu Yu rushed in, he rushed directly to Shen Qiji, grabbed his collar and asked.

"Captured......" Shen Qiji said, pointing in the direction where the black mist had disappeared.

Mu Yu let go of Shen Qiji's collar and summoned Mahogany to chase him out.

But he was stopped by Pu Jia.

"You get out of the way." Mu Yu shouted at Pu Jia.

"Do you want to die?" Not to be outdone.

"Master is not afraid." Mu Yu was angry.

"Mu Yu, you calm down first. We need to figure out what went wrong with the plan. Pu Jia said solemnly.

"When you figure it out, I'm afraid the demon will turn into a peach again!" Mu Yu said.

"Youkai won't be in trouble." "If we don't figure out where the problem comes from, I'm afraid we'll never have a chance to investigate the mystery of the Blood Curse of the Village of No Return," she said. ”

"Master doesn't care!"

"I don't care." Pu Jia said, "But the demon cares." ”
