When Xu Xingchun left Lu's residence, the sky was slightly darkened.He declined Master Lu's invitation to stay for him to watch the moon and drink wine at night. He didn't ride a horse or a carriage after he went out. One after the other, they walked slowly along the street in the direction of Xu Mansion.

When he reached the intersection, Xu Xingchun stopped and turned to look at the Lu residence behind him.Lanterns were hung beside the walls of the Lu Mansion, and there was a faint brilliance flowing on the walls illuminated by the light. "What a nuisance..." he whispered.The guard changed his reckless and impulsive behavior in the Lu residence, and stood silently behind him, like a shadow.

The prohibition on the wall of the Lu Mansion to prevent outsiders was set up a long time ago, and the reason was a tragic man-made disaster. At that time, there were wealthy households in the city who heard that the monster Neidan could prolong life, so they paid a lot of money to move the demon master. .The exorcist set up ambushes in the surrounding forests, attracted a few little demons to catch and kill them, cut out the inner alchemy and handed it to the rich man, took the money and left, but the one who came later was the one who lost his youngest son. The crazy revenge of the big monsters.

People who paid a lot of money to get the inner alchemy, before they had time to enjoy the refined tonic, were bitten to death by the concubine who turned into a wolf demon prototype on their own bed.After his death, the demon who couldn't resolve his hatred turned his anger on his family, and the demon took advantage of the chaos to do evil and hurt the innocent residents in the city.Thanks to the suppression of another exorcist who passed by later, the chaos ended.

At that time, the ancestors of the Lu family had some relationship with that demon exorcising master, and tried every possible means to ask him to set up a ban on his own courtyard, so as to avoid evil spirits and keep the house safe.Because of this restriction, the Lu family suffered the least damage in this disaster, and even got a windfall - someone from the family that caused the disaster escaped by luck and rescued some properties, and they are willing to give all these properties, He became a servant himself and asked for the protection of the Lu family.

The ancestors of the Lu family took them in, but took out the property they got to help repair the damaged roads and houses in the city, and raise orphans who lost their parents.These acts of kindness brought blessings. The ancestor lived for more than 100 years without disease and disaster, with a full family of descendants and accumulated a rich family property.Subsequent generations were shaded by their ancestors, and although they became less and less motivated, they are still a wealthy family.

...However, Xu Xingchun has heard another theory.

At that time, what the Lu family got was not only money, but also pills.

The big demon who harbored hatred had been killed by the demon exorcising master, and a few of the tonics made from the demon pills were not destroyed, and finally became the collection of the Lu family.This is the real reason for the "no disease" and "longevity" of the ancestors of the Lu family.

When Master Lu was young, he and Xu Xingchun's father were good friends. Once at a banquet, he drank too much wine and revealed this matter, as well as the last two pills hidden in his home.Although he tried to cover up the past with "drunk nonsense" afterwards, the listener had the heart——

Xu Xingchun took a step forward and continued to walk forward.The cold moonlight shone on him. Once this handsome young man withdrew from the gentle smile on his face, his narrow eyebrows revealed a bit of sternness.He thought about the news sent back by his subordinates, and felt very depressed: he wanted to use the demon pill to refine medicine, but he couldn't find the few precious herbs needed; The effect, the effect of the big demon's demon pill is too strong, people with weak bodies can't stand it, so they can't meet his needs.

They secretly offered huge rewards for the purchase of pills, but no one was willing to sell them.The only information that is definite is the two in the Lu family's collection.Unless you are lucky enough to meet that kind of monster who has just passed the catastrophe and has only a short training time...

Xu Xingchun thought about it all the way, and walked all the way without saying a word.It wasn't until he returned to the Xu Mansion and walked into the study with the guards that he asked in a deep voice, "How's the result of the investigation?"

"My subordinates went to several places with forbidden protection, but found no trace of the elixir. But near the library, because of the fever of the spell, I didn't dare to go closer to check." The guard said respectfully, "If the Lu family really has the elixir, It can only be stored in the Library Pavilion, or by a reliable person."

"What do you mean 'if any'?" Xu Xingchun said displeased.The guard bowed to him and saluted, then fell silent.Xu Xingchun watched the old man's face pretending for a long time at the Lu's house, and he lost his patience a long time ago. At this moment, he wanted to lose his temper, but he forcibly suppressed it.He waved to the guard impatiently to let him back down, sat in the study for a while, got up and walked out alone.

The layout of Xu's mansion is not as exquisite as that of Lu's mansion. Xu Xingchun left the study and walked further and further away. The surrounding scene began to look desolate, and finally came to a small courtyard in a remote location.This place seemed inconspicuous, but there were quite a few guards guarding it. Xu Xingchun walked into the courtyard and came to the window of the lonely hut inside.

There was a dim candle in the room, and the man's shadow appeared on the window paper.The people in the hut raised their heads after noticing it, but they didn't make a sound.

"Junyu, it's me." Xu Xingchun said softly outside the window, "I came to see you. A few days ago I had someone change the charcoal fire. Do you still feel cold at night?"

There was silence in the room.After a while, the candle flickered slightly, and the light disappeared—the people in the room blew out the candles.

This unmistakable rejection made Xu Xingchun grit his teeth. "I went to Lu's house again today. Do you know what I'm going to do?" he said, and then smiled deliberately, as if the smile could be seen by the person inside through the window, "not long , I’m getting married. Although I’m just a bastard, I’m still well-loved. I’m 16 years old this year, much younger than you, and I’m also pretty... Xie Junyu, do you really think that I have to be you? "

His voice became cold and hard, "You have a tattered body that has been ruined by so many people, and your face is also ruined. If I hadn't brought you out of that place, you would have only a few dry bones left. I don't know where. It’s in the stomach of a wild dog! Now you eat mine, use mine, and hang your life on the good medicine I gave you, how come you still have that high-spirited face?”

This time, there were several coughs in the room.A voice sounded slowly. "Didn't you beg me to eat, beg me to use, and imprison me here?" The voice was a little weak, but calm and calm, "I would rather stay in the stomach of the wild dog, there must be Warm. Please use your tongue and let anyone throw me out."

Xu Xingchun fell silent.He gritted his teeth for a while, and finally suppressed the anger that was boiling in his heart. "Junyu... don't be angry." He whispered, "What I said just now is nonsense. I..."

He wanted to say "I only like you", but when he thought of the ridicule or silence he would get after saying it, he couldn't bear it.In the end he said "I won't let you die, you can recuperate at ease", he didn't even want to hear a reply, and then hurriedly left from the door.

Silence returned to the small courtyard.The figures of the guards were like stone statues, silently guarding outside the courtyard.A few thick clouds drifted over from the sky, covering the moonlight, and after they drifted away, a figure quietly appeared by the window of the hut.

A piece of white paper got into the crack of the window and swam up against the window.The scene inside the house was reflected in the view of the person outside the window: on a cool summer night, charcoal was still burning in the house, and the low bed not far from the window was covered with thick bedding.The poorly made paper note cannot transmit the smell, but the strong medicinal smell can be smelled outside the window.

A young man in his 20s was wrapped in a heavy coat and sat by the bed.His hair was disheveled, the skin on his hands and face was snow-white, and his appearance was ordinary. If he had to say good-looking, it would be those calm eyes that were as cold as ice crystals—but because of the scar that stretched from the corner of the eye to his chin, and It looked ugly and horrible.

The people outside the window only took one look, and they could see that the person's physical condition was on the verge of collapse, and he had stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.Without the treasures of heaven and earth, or with the help of evil spirits, it is estimated that the delay will not reach autumn.

"Who's there?" the young man said suddenly.He looked towards the window, although no one was reflected on the window at all.

"Xie Junyu?" said the person outside the window.After a pause, he asked again, "Aren't you going to escape?"

Xie Junyu said calmly: "My younger sister is married to someone from the Xu family."

"Not dead?" The person outside the window asked again.

Xie Junyu smiled. "Why?" he asked back.

The person outside the window did not speak any more.After a while, he felt the man leave.He bent down and began to cough, coughing violently for a while.Then he wiped the blood from his lips, lay flat on his back, and closed his eyes in the darkness.

----

Lu You put his hand in front of his nose and smelled it, showing an uncomfortable expression. "I hate this world," he muttered.

"It's a poor world to be hated because of spices added to bath water," said the system.

The strategy of spraying clothes and sheets with water to cover up signs of going out appears to be working.The bedding on the bed was newly changed. Lu You had just taken a shower, soaked in hot water for a long time, and the skin on his hands was a little wrinkled.However, the smell of spices in the water also lingered deeply... and after washing, he failed to resist, and was pressed with a layer of fragrance powder.

Even though he tried to wipe it off after the maid left, but the fox demon has a keen sense of smell, and now he can't help but want to sneeze.He wrinkled his nose and didn't respond to the system's words.

"Or, are you still angry about that piece of information?" The system said again, "That was all before you posted it, and you came here to change it."

"But the fox is still dead." Lu You said listlessly, "However, it's really rare... Are you trying to comfort me?"

"You're welcome." The system said.

Lu You sighed, resting his elbows on the edge of the table to support his chin.He was indeed in a depressed mood—since he read the rest of the materials in the afternoon, his depression has not been relieved much until now.

I was moved by the man who was going to marry, and married happily, but the other party just used him as a prop to stimulate others, in order to make the person who always refused to admit that he loved him jealous... On the wedding night, The fox demon guarded the vacant room alone, and Xu Xingchun flaunted his groom's clothes to find his sweetheart, and didn't come back all night.

...Because his sweetheart, Xie Junyu, smashed a hand stove with hot coals in his face, smashed his cheekbone black, and scalded several blisters.A few days later, he recovered from his injury and went to the fox demon again.The fox demon entertained him gently with a charm - let him lie on the ground and have a "sweet dream" all night.

If it's just like this, the fox demon will just be sad for a while when he meets a stupid, arrogant and conceited idiot-it's always inevitable to be sad.As a demon, he also doesn't have the idea that if he encounters rubbish unfortunately, he will stick to it. After marrying and completing the repayment, he can find a chance to feign death and escape.

But later, the fox demon didn't want to leave again.He fell in love with Xie Junyu, who is like a bamboo, clear and tenacious young man... Xie Junyu is in poor health, the fox demon stayed in Xu's mansion for two years, and barely maintained his life with his demonic energy, and he was really powerless to delay , and risked triggering Tianjie: in addition to demon power, he also has demon pills.After crossing the catastrophe, the demon pill can become a life-saving medicine.

Moreover, after crossing the catastrophe and becoming a "human", the demon pill is no longer a matter of life and death.Although the strength will be greatly reduced after the initiative is given, it is not fatal, and it will take some time to recuperate.Overcoming robbery, escaping, and saving people—this is the plan of the fox demon.

To survive this catastrophe, it does not depend on the length of practice, but only on the depth of understanding of "emotion".Tested by thunder, judged by heaven.In the end, the sky did not let the fox demon die, he died at the hands of people: at the weakest moment after successfully surviving the catastrophe, he was caught by the demon exorcising master invited by Xu Xingchun, and forcibly cut out the demon pill.
