When Hoja saw the woman again, several days later, she came to the guard and said that her husband was missing, and she felt that she was bewitched by demons and took him away, begging them to save her.

This is the royal city!Is it okay to be mixed in by ghosts?

The guards were dispatched immediately, and Huo Jia and others also went there with weapons. However, after some investigation, they did not find the smell of ghosts in the woman's home or nearby, but found evidence that her husband ran away from home on his own.

The woman couldn't believe it, and she covered her face and cried, "How could that be, how could he leave by himself? We are clearly reconciled..." Halfway through the conversation, she seemed to have realized something, and both the voice and the crying stopped abruptly.

Just after noon, the wind and snow enveloped Wangcheng again.

The slate floor that was swept yesterday was gradually covered with a thin layer of gray snowflakes.

A hand that had grown age spots tremblingly supported the rough and mottled wall, and then, a hunched figure slowly walked into the alley between the houses on both sides.

He was wrapped in a black cloak, and whenever someone walked past him, he immediately lowered his head and pulled the wide hood tightly to cover his old face and gray hair.

His sneaky behavior naturally attracted the attention of passers-by, and soon someone followed him and kicked him to the ground while he was not paying attention.

With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground, and his hood fell off, revealing his frightened face.

The passer-by who kicked him down seemed even more frightened than him. The passer-by froze for a moment, and immediately went to help him up, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir, are you okay! I just thought you were a ghost in disguise, I Immediately take you to the temple..."

"No, no..." He shook his head subconsciously, waved away the passerby and ran away in a hurry.

After turning out of that alleyway, he stopped powerlessly.Looking at his rising and falling chest and hearing his panting, he suddenly covered his face and cried out in pain.

The whining sound melted into the wind and snow. In this snowy day when almost no one went out, he had nowhere to go. Soon, the black cloak was covered by gray snowflakes, but he remained motionless, as if he had become a statue.

"It's cold outside, don't you want to come in and sit?"

He raised his head in a daze, only to realize that behind him was the window of a small shop.

Strange how he hadn't seen it before.

He looked up and saw that the person speaking to him was a young man, healthy and handsome.Just like my former self.

He should have run away immediately, but for some reason, what the young man said seemed to have magical powers. He froze for a moment, stood up slowly and walked into the shop.

It seems that there are two worlds inside and outside the house. His limbs that were stiff and paralyzed in the wind and snow just warmed up quickly. At this moment, he seemed to have regained the vitality he once had, but when he saw his reflection on the window, he felt like He lowered his head awkwardly.

"Can you tell me your story?"

While talking, the young shopkeeper put a cup of hot tea in front of him.

How could he casually tell a stranger about himself?

However, the young shopkeeper just looked at him one more time, and he was suddenly a little dazed, and he confided to the other party unconsciously.

"My name is Bai Zhang, and I secretly left my wife."

Shopkeeper: "Why?"

"Because I'm getting old, I'm no longer compatible with her." Baizhang choked up and said, "My wife and I met three years ago. She has always admired my talent. Although I am 50 years older than her, in In the old country, the age gap does not mean anything. We got married a year ago... Not long ago, I found myself under a curse. The people in the temple said that they could expel the curse for me, but unexpectedly, after removing the curse, I Just getting old, can you believe it? A few days ago, I was a young man in his 20s."

Chi Yishen looked at him quietly, because of the specialness of the old country, although the person in front of him had returned to the state he should have at his age, his eyes and some small movements did not look like an old man, but rather like an old man. A young man with an old man's skin, but with his current state, it won't be long before the young soul in his body will also age rapidly.

Baizhang is still talking, "My body has become extremely heavy. I used to be able to run and jump, but now I am exhausted after walking a few steps. Before, I could easily pick up my wife, but now my bones are so fragile. It can be broken after falling twice... What's more frightening is that I have a strange smell on my body, you must have smelled it now, it's the smell of aging and decay."

"After returning from the temple, my wife hid all the mirrors in the house, but you know what? As soon as I saw her, I couldn't help but think of myself now. A gray-haired old man, with a man of the right age How can a young girl match?"

"One day I'm with her is just one more day of pain. I think every day that I'm now a dirty old man occupying the young girl's body. Maybe she will get tired of my old body soon...so I left……"

"Someone saw me just now, he thought I was an aging hero who voluntarily fasted to fight against curses and ghosts, but I just had an old body, not only did I not have a strong will and glory, I was also a person who dared not even say goodbye coward……"

At the end of the speech, the person in front of him had already bent his body in pain.

Chi Yishen: "Doesn't the temple have any indication?"

Bai Zhang's shoulders trembled, "Yes, they asked me to keep it a secret."

Chi Yishen: "I have a medicine here that can restore your physical condition to a youthful appearance. There is only one point, and it cannot restore your youthful appearance."

Not long after, Baizhang, who had made his choice, left the Plane Store. His back was no longer stooped, and his movements had regained the vigor and sharpness of his youth, but his appearance was still aging.

【Host, will he reconcile with his wife as before? 】

Chi shook his head deeply, "It should be a divorce!"

【Why?They obviously love each other, don't they? 】The system is very puzzled, "Isn't human works always praising souls who love each other? Since they are the same soul, why do they stop loving each other just because their appearance has changed?"

Chi Yishen: "What is taken for granted does not need to be praised and emphasized. The reason why literary works have always emphasized this point is because it is an extremely rare miracle. If love is a kind of energy, then it has only three endings. One is Transferred to others, the second is the loss of supplements and complete consumption; the third is more and more under the continuous supply.”

The system expressed doubts, "Why is it so clear that the host has never been in a relationship?"

Chi Yi shrugged deeply, "Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? Don't all literature say that love is powerful?"

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, realizing that the resistance in this world was also very strong.

The problem exposed by the couple Bai Zhang is just one of them, and this contradiction will definitely increase in the future.Aging is something that any creature would instinctively resist, not to mention human beings who are quite egoistic. When the news spread that the removal of the curse would lead to aging, the temple would definitely encounter strong resistance from the people.

The disaster in this world is really vicious!

Just using the "young" trick has planted contradictions in this supposedly united world.

Although not everyone will be cursed, Chi Yishen knows that the temple will purify everyone sooner or later, because curses exist in the food of this world, in every drop of rain, dew, and wind and snow in this world. If they don't remove them all, it's equivalent to keeping the hidden dangers around all the time. The temples are not omnipotent gods, and they can't ensure that the curse will not break out in an all-round way.

But these are things that the temple in this world should worry about. He is only responsible for trading commodities and assisting when appropriate. He can't worry about all aspects of the other world.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, he clicked on the system panel and poked to the page of the purification furnace.

Since he got the purification furnace, no matter what kind of strange things, as long as the use is unknown, he will throw them in and purify them.

He threw in an arm that he got from Tangli a few days ago.
