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

The rivers and lakes have been regarded as a place outside the law since ancient times, during which many strange people and strange guests emerged in endlessly.

However, in today's martial arts world, when it comes to "strange women", there is only one person that everyone can think of.

That was Aunt Qiao Qiao Xiaoxiao from Jinlou Qiao's family.

When Aunt Qiao first entered the world, she was still in her prime, but she was already famous for her unparalleled business skills.Jinlou Qiao's family was originally just a small business wandering around the edge of the martial arts world, but the bulk of it was still common people's food, raw silk, etc., and when Qiao Xiaoxiao joined the Qiao family's business under the old man's instruction, it took only a few years. The Kung Fu business has penetrated into various sects and government offices, and the Qiao family can be said to be making a lot of money every day, and the limelight is boundless for a while.And this aunt who was still called Ms. Qiao back then has become the rich lady that young heroes most want to marry.

Who would have imagined that at such a time of boundless beauty, Qiao Xiaoxiao would secretly marry Qiao Luohe, his brother of the same family and surname, and not only elope and flee, but also gave birth to Qiao Muyun in a bold and disregard of human relations.

If her story only ends here, I am afraid that decades later, no one will remember Qiao Xiaoxiao back then—everyone thought that the eldest lady of the Qiao family would be expelled from the Qiao family from now on and never stand up again. At that time, the widowed woman went straight back to Qiao's house with Qiao Muyun, who was still a baby.

Not only did she return to the Qiao family, but she also completely controlled the entire Qiao family in less than ten years.

No one knows what she did, how the old man of the Qiao family acquiesced to her as the head of the Qiao family, where the orthodox heirs went... and how the Qiao family took over the Jianghu bit by bit, The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the common people and even the government.

It was such a strange woman who was famous all over the world, but when she appeared in front of Lin Mao, she was so kind and amiable, like an ordinary official wife who loved gold and silver.

It's just that ordinary official wives don't have a peerless and famous sword "Spring Breeze" that has been poisoned in their hands, and they don't have such a terrifying killing intent in their smiles.

Hearing Lin Mao calling her "Sister Aqiao", Qiao Xiaoxiao smiled more and more, but her eyes became colder.

"I thought that the rumors were just nonsense spread by people in the Jianghu, but I didn't expect that I was narrow-minded—Lin Mao, you are really still alive."

Lin Mao couldn't help but sighed again.

"Yes, I'm still alive," he said.

"It's a pity," Qiao Xiao's eyes were as sharp as a knife. She carefully looked at Lin Mao's slender figure and his beautiful appearance hidden behind the veil, and said with a smile, "Wangyou Valley has fallen to this point in the hands of people like you, so that people forget that the old owner of the valley was also a generation of heroes. Thinking about it, you can come back from the dead and rejuvenate... that's what he left behind. Is it because of the elixir of life?"

Lin Mao stared at Qiao Xiaoxiao in front of him.

I haven't seen him for many years, and the other party is no longer the rebellious and thin girl in memory.

Lin Mao still remembered the last time they met, the long sword in his hand was still in Qiao Luohe's body, and his friend's blood splashed on his body, and there was still some warmth.And Qiao Xiaoxiao's face was haggard, and the way she looked at Lin Mao lingered in Lin Mao's nightmare for many years.

Even Lin Mao himself did not expect that one day the two of them would meet again.

And he never thought that when they met again, Qiao Xiaoxiao, who was almost insane because of Qiao Luohe's death, the first question he asked was the elixir that had nothing to do with Qiao Luohe.

Lin Mao naturally knew that the old valley owner never left behind any elixir, and there were many things wrong with his current situation, but facing Qiao Xiaoxiao at this time, he didn't want to explain anything.

"So you also want the so-called elixir of life..."

Lin Mao said softly, his tone full of confusion and bitterness.

"Could it be that you think I'm going to yell at you because of Brother Luohe's death when we meet?"

Qiao Xiaoxiao tilted her head and smiled softly.

Lin Mao couldn't help but startled.

Qiao Xiaoxiao stared at Lin Mao, sneered, and flicked her wrist, sheathed the "Spring Breeze" on her waist.

"Lin Mao, Lin Mao...you are still like this, with everything on your face written on your face, and you can't hide it at all. Think about it, you are still the same as you were back then, you can live easily by relying on others." Qiao Xiaoxiao said.

Lin Mao opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond to Qiao Xiaoxiao's nagging question from an old friend.

After a while, he finally said, "I am incompetent."

"Heh," Qiao Xiaoxiao snorted contemptuously, "it's been so many years, if I say I don't hate you, I certainly don't, but if I say I want to hate you to the bone for Brother Luohe, I certainly don't stop there. After all, now The old lady is dead, her husband is rich and has a son, and she still manages such a large property in her hands, all these years, her life is not bad."

After the words fell, Qiao Xiaoxiao raised his hand and made a gesture. Several silent men in black appeared in the darkness, one of them was holding a lamp, one of them was serving tea, and the remaining one actually brought a piece of paper to Qiao Xiaoxiao. The rosewood Eight Immortals chair made her sit down.

With the addition of lights, the secret passage suddenly became much brighter.

Qiao Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright and her complexion was ruddy. She leaned on the back of the chair and raised her legs like that, without the slightest aura of sharp sword in hand.

"Over the years, I have figured it out. Men are really unreliable, and they are not worthy of my heart and soul——Brother Luohe was fascinated by you back then. Look, my good son has left now." out of his old way."

"I, I..." Lin Mao's whole face became hot, almost ashamed, "It's not like that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Xiaoxiao interrupted him.

"Forget it, let's not mention those old things, tell me, how much can you pay?"

"How much for what?"

Lin Mao couldn't help asking.

Qiao Xiaoxiao was still smiling, but this time, there was something in her smile that Lin Mao couldn't understand.

"How much are you willing to pay for your own life... Oh, and the life of your good apprentice."

Lin Mao's heart twitched suddenly, and he looked at Qiao Xiaoxiao in a daze: "The people who besieged me, and the news, did you release it on purpose?"

Although it was a rhetorical question, Lin Mao already got the answer in his heart the moment he opened his mouth.

"That's right, it's me." Qiao Xiaoxiao's subsequent answer did not meet Lin Mao's expectations, "I can't help it, your sister A Qiao, I also want to eat."

Her smile made Lin Mao break out in cold sweat.

"The so-called reward of ten thousand taels of gold..."

"Well, it's not me. In my eyes, you and your apprentice are really not worth so much money. But there are always people in this world who are interested in the elixir of Wangyou Valley. My Qiao family He released this bounty, and he can also draw some commissions to buy some makeup. But since you and I are old acquaintances, I don't want to make things go to waste. If you can get the money, I will let you two go tonight Why not have a way out."

As Qiao Xiaoxiao said, she took out an extremely delicate abacus from her cuff and put it in her hand to play with.

When Lin Mao saw it, he felt even colder in his heart.

He recognizes this abacus. It is the "golden abacus" handed down by the head of the Qiao family. At that time, all of them were heroes of the time, but in the end, because of the "debts" owed to the Qiao family, they had to break up and die in the end, and even paid the debt with their own bodies.

And once the Qiao family took out this golden abacus, it meant that the business was a matter of life—when he was close friends with the Qiao family and his wife, he had personally seen Qiao Xiaoxiao take out this abacus to kill people. Count to the jedi.

Back then, he never imagined that one day he himself would be the person to "negotiate business" with Qiao Xiaoxiao.

"You may be able to keep my life, but you can't keep Xiaoqing."

Lin Mao suddenly smiled bitterly, and said quietly.

"My disciple is the No. 1 martial art in this world—no one can trade his life for it."

Qiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up at him, and saw the brilliance in the eyes of the man when he talked about Chang Xiaoqing, and even the embarrassment faded away.Qiao Xiaoxiao didn't know why he suddenly became angry, and a feeling of jealousy and hatred arose: "Oh, really?! Do you think that group of idiots are my trump card? Lin Mao, you are too underestimated." Me!"

After the words fell, Qiao Xiaoxiao suddenly clapped her hands.

Lin Mao felt that his vest was cold, and before he could dodge, he was hit by the man in black who had been hiding beside him for a long time, and his blood was blocked immediately, and he fell limp to the ground.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that this might be a disaster for him, but he didn't expect to hear Qiao Xiaoxiao's command with strong malice in the next second: "Pull him up and take him outside to see how he is doing." Apprentice...Look at how his so-called No. 1 martial art in the world died at the hands of that man!"

"that person?"

Lin Mao was roughly pulled up, and he couldn't help but struggled to ask when he heard this sentence.

"Oh, Lin Mao, do you know Lingkong Temple?"

Qiao Xiaoxiao walked up to Lin Mao, leaned into his ear, and said softly.

Lingkong Temple? !

Hearing the familiar three words, uncontrollable uneasiness and fear permeated Lin Mao's body in an instant.

The strange-colored eyes under the moonlight and the strange flowers falling suddenly flashed, and Lin Mao was so dizzy that he almost retched.Since Qiao Xiaoxiao's carefully trained subordinates had received the master's order, they naturally would not delay at all. When Lin Mao's face was pale, he had already lifted Lin Mao up and led him out of the secret road.

As soon as he came out of the secret passage, Lin Mao could smell the blood in the air that was almost solid.

It is still such a cold day, and it is still such a dark night.

However, during the short time when Lin Mao and Qiao Xiaoxiao faced each other in the secret road, there was already a sea of ​​blood outside the Tianxian Pavilion.

The originally white snow is now a black and red muddy wetland. The well-arranged gardens and vegetation have long been ruined, and now it looks like an open space full of corpses and broken bones.

In the piercing north wind, people's extremely heavy panting sounds and the trembling and crisp sound of weapons colliding with each other filled the open space.

There is no moon this night.

Only the candle light from the window of Tianxian Pavilion, the light passing through the light red veil covering the window, is also dyed with a slight red light.Normally, this light would only make people feel charming and moving, but this night, when this light fell on this group of people, it would only remind people of the bloody light that filled the sky.

Lin Mao found Chang Xiaoqing easily - he was standing in the middle of the open space with his head down, his long sword had already been inserted into the ground, his hands were on the hilt of the sword, his head was down, he seemed to be just Taking a rest leaning on the sword.

And his silver-white hair had already been scattered during the previous fight, and now it was loose, covering his head and face.

At this moment, he looked more like a mountain ghost than a living person with a murderous intent all over his body.

As for the group of people in the martial arts who have survived until now, only dare to surround him and raise their swords and dare not move rashly, they have obviously been frightened by him and dare not move forward.

"Well, it looks like you do have a good apprentice."

Qiao Xiaoxiao walked beside Lin Mao and looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help sighing.

Almost at the same time, hearing the sound of someone appearing, Chang Xiaoqing drew out his long sword and turned in the direction of Qiao Xiaoxiao and the others in an instant.

"Master?!"

Just as Lin Mao saw Chang Xiaoqing at the first sight, Chang Xiaoqing also immediately saw Lin Mao who was grasped by the man in black and was unable to move.

There seemed to be a will-o'-the-wisp in his eyes suddenly.

"Let him go—"

he said coldly.

The loose silver long hair moves without wind in the true energy released, like a ghost.

At the same time as he said those three words, Lin Mao only heard two muffled groans from his side.The body of the man in black who had held him in the palm of his hand suddenly stiffened, and then a stream of blood gushed out from his neck.

In just a split second, the two of them fell limply.

"Oh, your apprentice is quite angry."

It was Qiao Xiaoxiao who grabbed Lin Mao instead of the two men in black.

She slowly put away the golden abacus in her hand—it was engraved with a cut that could almost penetrate the entire abacus.

"As soon as we met, when I saw an elder like me, I wanted to yell and kill him."

Qiao Xiaoxiao said with a smile, as if she didn't care at all that the sword energy from Chang Xiaoqing just now almost cut off her entire head.

Only Lin Mao, who was familiar with Qiao Xiaoxiao and was very close to her, knew that the slight veins and cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she was really angry.

"Your Chang Xiaoqing's martial arts... are really good."

Qiao Xiaoxiao said the last four words with a bit of gritted teeth.

"Sister Aqiao, I don't know who you are doing business with now, but the fact that I came back from the dead is due to another reason, not the elixir of life—please let me and Xiaoqing go, lest We both lose out."

Lin Mao thought of the indescribable fear in her heart that kept spreading when she talked about Lingkong Temple before, and now he can only suppress the anxiety and try to negotiate with her in vain.

Qiao Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't let him get what he wanted.

She grabbed Lin Mao, turned her head to look at a dark corner of the yard where the light could not be seen, and said loudly, "Master...you still haven't come out after this matter?"

At the same time, Lin Mao smelled a very faint fragrance of flowers.

The scent of flowers was mixed with the cold wind and the filthy smell of blood, it seemed so ethereal and beautiful, and it was so out of season... so weird.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mao heard a familiar voice.

It was a jerky, even awkward voice.

A tall monk slowly came out of the darkness.
