Before Su Chen could reply, Ximeng curled his lips in disgust.

"No, it's not painted skin."

"Your face also stinks!"

The woman's body trembled.

She avoided Xi Meng's gaze and hid behind Su Chen.

Su Chen glanced at Ximeng.

Ximeng raised his hand: "Okay, got it."

"I won't say any more."

Su Chen asked Acai Azheng to find a place to sit, and he also sat down.

"Ah Cai and Ah Zheng, as mystical masters, the most important thing is communication. When we encounter something, we must first ask about the specific situation."

"Ah Cai, do you want to try?"

Ah Cai had been confused for a long time and couldn't wait to speak: "Auntie, has the meat on your body been eaten?"

The woman smiled and shook her head.

"I, I don't know."

Ah Cai: "Then why are you different from us on the inside?"

The woman was silent.

Su Chen looked at Azheng: "Azheng, please try..."

Ah Zheng hesitated: "Auntie, when did you find out?"

Ximeng on the other end smiled and held up his chin, looking at Azheng with interest.

The woman pondered for a moment: "I remember it was after my thirtieth birthday."

Ah Zheng continued to ask under Su Chen's encouraging gaze: "Do you know the reason?"

The woman nodded.

"I said I thought my face would never grow old."

"He gave me a pill and I took it."

Ah Cai was curious: "Who is he?"

"A man, a very mysterious man." The woman said quietly, "He said that he has lived for thousands of years."

"His face looked very young. I thought at that time that he was just coaxing me, thinking that the pill was just a sugar pill or something like that. I, I really didn't expect that it could really make my appearance not look old, and it would make me look younger." Unexpectedly…”

Unexpectedly, her body began to tremble.

Azheng: "What didn't you expect?"

The woman was silent for a moment, covered her face and began to cry.

Ah Zheng looked at Su Chen at a loss.

"fine."

Su Chen rubbed the heads of the two little guys.

"Remember, the first thing we need to ask is who she is."

Ah Cai immediately asked: "Auntie, who are you?"

Su Chen laughed: "You have to ask, name, date and time of birth, where you are from, we can know a lot of information based on the horoscope..."

Ah Cai immediately asked again.

Su Chen looked at the woman: "Don't cry yet."

The woman put down her hands sarcastically.

Answer A Cai's questions one by one.

Hearing that she was born in the last years of the turbulent dynasty, the two little guys Ah Cai and Ah Zheng were stunned.

Ah Zheng asked in a low voice: "Didn't everyone say 19 years or so?"

Su Chen explained, looked at the woman carefully, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He continued to teach his two children: "After you ask the person clearly, it will be settled."

"We need to first ask about the time, place and person, and then ask about what happened..."

Ah Cai and Ah Zheng had good comprehension skills, and they started asking questions one by one.

Ximeng was holding back a smile on the side.

During the questioning between the two, the woman recounted the matter again.

Ah Cai and Ah Zheng looked at Su Chen expectantly.

"Ask the situation clearly and find out the source of the problem. According to what Auntie said, it's the pill, right?"

The two little heads nodded in succession.

"Then if we want to solve the problem, we have to figure out how the pills caused harm to her body, right?"

Ximeng took out a breath and muttered: "You are so patient, if I..."

If there is any problem, just hit it with a paw and die.

Realizing that she was a bit angry, Ximeng silently closed her eyes to calm down.

"You are still young and have learned very little, so what is left today is to let you gain knowledge."

Su Chen looked at the woman: "You can take off your clothes now."

Ah Cai and Ah Zheng all opened their mouths in surprise.

The woman hesitated for a moment, turned to see Ximeng's eyes closed, then took a few deep breaths, and slowly took off the three layers of clothes she was wearing, her gloves, socks and shoes, and took off her hat and scarf.

Ah Cai and Ah Zheng's eyes widened.

The skin of the woman in front of her from the neck up was intact, her black hair was long and shiny, and her face was astonishingly beautiful.

But below the neck, the skin was gone, and what was exposed in front of everyone was the gray flesh and blood vessels.

Continuing down, part of the stomach was already empty, exposing the dense white bones.

Ah Cai was a little frightened, so he reacted and hugged Su Chen's thigh tightly: "Dad~"

"Don't be afraid. What you see in the future may be scarier than this. You have to get used to it."

As he spoke, he looked at Azheng, who bit his lip and nodded: "I, I'm not afraid."

Su Chen rubbed his head: "Courage is not developed in a day. You are still young, you can be afraid."

He hugged Azheng's shoulders: "Are you feeling better now?"

"Uh-huh."

Su Chen then looked at the woman and said, "Turn around."

The woman cried in grievance, but still followed the instructions and turned around slowly.

"Do you see clearly?" Su Chen asked.

Ah Cai and Ah Zheng both nodded, and Su Chen asked the woman: "You don't have maggots in your body now, so you had maggots before, right?"

The woman nodded repeatedly.

"So many, so many, all over my body, everywhere."

Su Chen: "So you have become a skeleton."

The woman nodded, and she looked at A Zheng: "Yes, at that time, the flesh on my body and even my head was gone, leaving only a piece of skin. I thought I was completely dead, but I could still walk. I didn't understand why I was still alive when I felt that everything in my head was gone, empty, so I hid in the mountains and dug a grave for myself."

"After lying in the grave, I felt that my spirit was getting worse and worse. I thought I was going to die, and I was lucky, but I didn't expect that when I woke up, I felt that my body was covered with dirt, but I didn't feel difficulty breathing. No, I didn't need to breathe to live."

"I can feel a lot of bugs drilling around in the soil, they stick to my skin, yes, I found that my flesh had grown again. I was so scared that I crawled out again. "

"I became a complete person again. I didn't have to be afraid of being seen by others. I didn't have to hide and cover myself. I walked out of the mountain. There was no war outside. I thought that I was greeted by a brand new life. But only one year later, I smelled the stench again. At first, perfume could cover it up, but later..."

"I asked someone to find him and asked many masters, but..." The woman lowered her head, "Maybe I know too few people. Many masters are just in name only. Until yesterday, I heard that there were ghosts here and there was a Taoist fortune teller who was very powerful, so I came here."

Su Chen listened quietly to the woman's story.

"When he gave you the pill, he told you that something would parasitize you in your body."

The woman pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

"But, but I didn't know at that time that there were so many maggots parasitizing it. If I had known earlier..."

Su Chen: "It's not maggots."

"What?"

"It looks like a fungus."

"And it doesn't parasitize in your body, it coexists with you."

The woman was stunned.

"The pill should be a seed."

"After you eat it, it will gradually sprout and grow, slowly seeping into your bones."
