After I was resurrected from the dead, I turned from an old man to a peerless beauty

Lin Mao's head drooped slightly, as if concentrating on finding the way to the Golden House in the Foehn, without realizing Yao Xiaohua's doubts...

He could clearly feel a line of sight falling on his back, and then quickly moved away.

It's Chang Xiaoqing.

Even without looking back, Lin Mao knew that it was Chang Xiaoqing's gaze.From childhood to adulthood, the child's gaze at him has never changed in the slightest, like a stray dog ​​stumbling back at the heels of a traveler, hoping so much to be taken back, but at the same time so afraid Was kicked away.What came out of those wet eyes was always so full of intense anticipation and restrained focus.

Lin Mao couldn't help feeling slightly sour.

Yao Xiaohua was still confused, but Chang Xiaoqing never questioned Lin Mao's words and deeds.

Golden House...

Lin Mao silently repeated these two words in his heart, and the tip of his tongue suddenly tasted a slight sourness and bitterness.

He never liked that big house, even though it was the villa that Senior Brother Chang Qing spent all his time and energy building for him.

【"Doesn't the cat feel bored in the valley? There are dim sum shops, teahouses, and jugglers in the city. There is also a night market every New Year's Day, and there are lanterns to watch during New Year's Day—isn't it just what you like?" 】

That person's familiar, flattering and courteous words seemed to be still in his ears, but that person had been away from him for many years.

It was the mansion built for him by Master Chang Qing.

At that time, the master was already dead, and there was no one alive in Wangyou Valley except him and his senior brother.Wherever I grew up, there is nowhere that is not soaked in the blood of familiar people. Every night, the night crow howls, as if all the ghosts are still unable to escape, howling every night.

Brother Chang Qing was already in poor health at that time, and even in front of Lin Mao, he couldn't bear the illusion that nothing had happened.Of course, there are still some lies to tell, saying that the continuous coughing is just an ordinary cold, saying that the black blood spurting from the mouth is a result of improper practice, saying that the gradually becoming blurred The clear eyes are not serious because of the old illness...

Day after day, Lin Mao finally smelled some rancid smell in the room.

Lin Mao just pretended not to know.

Even though there was still a black blood-stained kerchief in the brazier, even if the brother suddenly put down the bed curtain one day, so that Lin Mao could not see his face clearly under the bed curtain, even if...

Then the gold and silver that Senior Brother Chang Qing plundered over the years in the treasury was spent like water, and in Jiaocheng, Senior Brother built such a gorgeous mansion for him.

Lin Mao knew that it was Senior Brother Chang Qing who was afraid that Lin Mao would be left alone in Wangyou Valley after his death.

After all, Lin Mao had such a timid and cowardly personality since he was a child. The moonlight was not bright enough, so even if he went to the hut, he had to carefully get under the quilt of the elder brother, and pulled the man's cuff embarrassingly begging him to go with him.

Thinking about it, if the senior brother is still alive, knowing that Lin Mao will be able to spend so many years alone in the Valley of Wangyou in the next few years, he can't help but look at the old cat with admiration.

The mansion called the Golden House, Lin Mao only lived in it for a short period of time when he was building it, but couldn't bear Senior Brother Chang Qing's extremely eager eyes...

At that time, Evergreen seemed to have recovered.

The thin face is as handsome as before, and the eyes staring at Lin Mao are shining. Sometimes, Lin Mao even can't help trembling slightly because of the infatuated eyes... I think, at that time, Chang Qing had already Do you know that your time is running out?

All the improvement, and the lingering night after night, in the final analysis, it is just a flashback.

And when the night dissipates, the happy dream that I have had for several years will finally come to an end.

……

"boom……"

A scalding wind and waves rolled up, and there was the roar of houses collapsing not far away, and the red-hot sawdust and bricks burst everywhere.

Lin Mao collected himself and quickened his pace. Not long after, he took Chang Xiaoqing and Yao Xiaohua along the path to the back door of the Golden House. Not far from the mansion, the light and heat of the flames almost Unable to open his eyes, the bright red light was as red as blood against the thick black smoke, as if the sky had already been burned.In the past, the gorgeous mansion, which was inspected very closely by the servants, was already empty and unattended at this time.Chang Xiaoqing didn't even need to knock open the door, the thick and heavy ebony door was straight open, the bolt of one of the doors was even broken, and the door panel was lying on the steps miserably.

Chang Qing spent thousands of dollars to build the luxurious house, but now it looks like a bleak ruin.

Lin Mao quickly glanced at the pavilions that seemed to stretch to the sky, his pupils were slightly red, and then he stepped on countless soft steps that fell on the ground in a panic and walked into the door.Creaking, creaking... from nowhere came the mournful sound of the wood, and the fine gravel and flying smoke debris hit the faces and hands of the three of them in the wind.

"Cough cough cough...cough...go here..."

The thick smoke had flowed here along the hot wind, and Lin Mao had to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve when speaking.

As I said before, although Chang Qing is a considerate and gentle lover in front of Lin Mao, but to outsiders, he is really not a good person.

He was born in extreme poverty, and suffered many hardships when he was a teenager, so he developed an extremely vicious heart.If he hadn't entered Wangyou Valley Xiaoyaozi's family by accident, this world might just have passed through a vicious street hooligan, or a mountain robber.

However, Chang Qing's temperament is coupled with a martial arts foundation that is hard to find in a century.In just a few years, he learned a high level of martial arts from Xiaoyaozi.

And if this Xiaoyaozi is a gentleman and a man of virtue, it's okay, Chang Qing should also be able to become a hero with a bad temper but extraordinary skills.

However, Xiaoyaozi is just the opposite of a gentleman, a virtuous man. He is thoughtful and murderous, and even the disciples and grandchildren of his own sect are just animals that can be used to refine medicine in his eyes.Under his training, Chang Qing's personality became more and more violent, and he will take revenge.

Since he has such a character, he naturally provoked many enemies.Probably because of this, when the golden house was built for Lin Mao, the secret passages under the whole mansion were criss-crossed, and countless traps and supply places were set in the middle, like a maze.Except for people like Lin Mao and Chang Qing who are familiar with the secret path, no matter how high their martial arts are, once they stray into the secret path, they will never return, and they will never escape.

Chang Qing held Lin Mao's hand and walked along the secret roads one by one, making sure that Lin Mao had memorized all the carefully prepared escape methods, and then he barely showed a little relaxation. look.

【"...I thought that I could protect you forever. That's why I didn't leave any sympathy when I killed people in the Jianghu. It doesn't matter whether you kill like a stick or enjoy the Jianghu, but I never thought that one day I will Regret... But now, I can only hope that you will never use these secret ways, Maoer."]

Lin Mao still remembered that after he memorized the last secret door, Chang Qing once opened his graying pupils, stared blankly at his face and murmured in a low voice.

Maybe Chang Qing himself didn't realize that the expression on his face that night was the weakness and hesitation that Lin Mao had never seen before.

later……

Later, because of Chang Xiaoqing, Lin Mao withdrew and returned to Wangyou Valley after his senior brother died.Back then, he swore that he would never set foot in the Golden House again in his life, but in the end, Chang Qing's worries in those days finally came true.

Thinking of this, Lin Mao unconsciously showed a sour smile.

Anyway, even though the mansion built by Chang Qing will soon be reduced to ashes... Lin Mao is now running for his life, but he still has to rely on the secret path prepared by his senior brother so many years ago.

After all, it's not just a blank slate.

The flames became more intense, thick smoke and hot wind, and countless debris after burning, swirling in the air like pieces of black snow, rising and falling...

Lin Mao didn't dare to go into the pavilion, but planned to enter the secret passage from an entrance in the back garden.

The entrance is behind a rockery next to a pond in the garden. There should be an exquisite pond in front of the rockery. If you want to use the pond water as a cover, even if the fire really burns into the back garden, the entrance of the secret passage can support it for a while.

While Lin Mao told Chang Xiaoqing and Yao Xiaohua about his plan, he walked around a winding corridor, took a shortcut and entered the side of the garden. accident.

"... Commander Qu, do you know that you are committing a crime and should be executed according to the law?!"

It was a boy talking.

The moment Yao Xiaohua saw the boy, she couldn't help opening her eyes slightly.

The young man should not be very old, his body is tall and thin, but he hasn't grown up yet, so he looks a bit thin.He has a fair complexion and good features. Although he can't be said to be that first-class handsome gentleman, he can still be said to be extravagant. One can tell at a glance that his birth must be either rich or noble.

However, no matter how wealthy he looked, at this moment, the young man was more or less embarrassed.

The brocade robe he was wearing should have been very elegant and luxurious before, but at this time the brocade robe has been soaked in blood, and the blue fabric has turned into balls of black and blue. Embroidery pattern.

And his cheeks and hands were naturally covered with splashed blood, and the crown of hair fell to nowhere, and the disheveled hair fell behind him, making that face look younger.

And around him, there were several unidentified corpses lying on top of each other.

In front of the fence surrounded by corpses, a man raised his sword and aimed at the boy.

The author has something to say: new characters debut~

Brother Chang Qing was worried that Lin Mao was afraid, so for so many years, he turned into an unknown old man and stood silently outside Wangyou Valley.
