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

I don't know how many innocent dead bodies there are in the imperial city, so that so many crows are raised so fat.

[I'm afraid most of the people in the palace are already dead by this time. ] He said to Hong Mudan. [You have to be prepared later.If the situation is not good, it is important to escape. 】

Red Peony raised her eyes casually to glance at Gong Ningzi, and suddenly reached out and patted Gong Ningzi on the shoulder.

【I know, don't worry. 】

I don't know why, but through the thick color grease and powder, Gong Ningzi just saw the delicate and beautiful look of the red peony at this moment - as if a flower is in full bloom, so bright that it is almost eye-catching.

Gong Ningzi was stunned, and before he had time to grasp the strange thoughts that flashed across his heart, the convoy had already stopped.

"Eunuch..."

Someone tapped lightly on the wall of the car.

Gong Ningzi raised the curtain of the car, and a pale face leaned over.

"My lord, I've arrived."

to the place?

Gong Ningzi frowned, then lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

A gust of wind suddenly blows, bringing with it a faint smell of fishy smell.But the place where the carriage stopped was not the Mingxin Palace where Emperor Yun used to live, but a small building of nondescript style surrounded by the palace walls.

The small building is probably due to new renovations, even the brick color on the wall is different from other places. It is also a vermilion wall, but the wall here looks extra bright—as if it has just been freshly painted. It looks like a smear of human blood.

The small building is in the very center of the wall, about seven floors high, and each floor is painted with beautiful and bright murals of celestial beings. The jewelry worn by the immortals on the murals is inlaid with a whole piece of gemstones, even if the sky is dim in winter, The gem is still shining brightly, making the whole small building resplendent and resplendent, like a heaven.In addition, there are extremely exquisite front halls and back pavilions, and the exquisitely crafted window panes are not pasted with silk gauze, but colorful glazed pieces enshrined from various countries in the Western Regions.Probably because of the burning candles in the hall, the glazed tiles shone like gems and jewelry on women from the Western Regions.

A celestial plaque stood on a gilt door, with the words "Maya Jingshe" written on it, judging from the handwriting, it was written by Emperor Yun himself.

Along the way, I only felt that the whole palace was lifeless and uninhabited.But now when we arrived in front of Maya Abode, we could hear bursts of cheers and uproar lingering above the small building.

But the more hilarious the voice was, the more sinister it seemed to be here.Don't you see that the men and horses escorting the prince under the plaque are all trembling and frightened.

"Hahaha..." It seemed that a woman suddenly laughed sharply. When the others heard this sound, they all trembled and their faces became more and more ugly.

Gong Ningzi immediately looked around the faces of the people in the field, and finally fixed his eyes on the eunuch who knocked on the car and called him.

Gong Ningzi knew this eunuch.He was called Gou Ling'er, and everyone in the palace would call him Gou Gonggong. Although he had been castrated, he was still born with big arms and a tyrannical temperament.But it happened that such a low-ranking person was favored by Emperor Yun, so Gong Ningzi had only seen him arrogantly, but now when he looked at him again, he realized that in just a short period of time, this Eunuch Gou had already passed away. He had lost a lot of weight for no reason, even his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were black and bloodshot, and his pupils trembled involuntarily when looking at people—obviously during the period when Gong Ningzi was trapped and guarding the government. During the days, the eunuch Gou was greatly frightened by something, so now it seems that he has symptoms of distraction.

Gong Ningzi was more suspicious, but the expression on his face was very similar to that of eunuch Gou, as if he was very scared and apprehensive, and had already fainted from fright.

"Since we've arrived at the door, why, why are you still dawdling, you should send people in quickly..."

When the eunuch Gou heard this, he immediately said with horror on his face: "Eunuch Wang is confused... This place has no reason, we can't let idlers wait in."

As soon as Gong Ningzi heard these words that were full of evasions, Gong Ningzi felt affirmed immediately, and the expression on his face became more violent: "Now we are going to send His Highness the Crown Prince to meet the saint and his son, and there is no reason for that."

When Eunuch Gou heard this, he only thought that "Eunuch Wang" was going to kill himself and drag other people to die with him, and his expression suddenly became ferocious.

"My lord...you...it's because of your own fate that the emperor specially ordered you, so why do you want to hurt me like this?"

"What did I do to you? Sharing the emperor's worries was originally a blessing that you and I couldn't even ask for. Why are you just sending the crown prince with me to see your majesty now? It's as if I want to kill you."

Gong Ningzi deliberately spoke in that tone of neither yin nor yang.

Sure enough, when he said this, Eunuch Gou immediately said everything he wanted to know——

"Wang, it's already reached this time, you put away your set, is it possible to open up the current situation?! So many people died in this palace, since you and I still Being able to live to this day is considered a blessing from the ancestors. Since the emperor ordered you, maybe you can come back after you go back, why do you have to drag me to die? If you really die in it, I can still burn some paper for you, you must take me with you, the few of us died together and the corpses were fed to crows, can you still feel more comfortable?!"

Gong Ningzi's heart sank when he heard what Eunuch Gou said.

Obviously, this Emperor Yun not only killed people, but also had no scruples about the few people closest to him. He killed as soon as he said so. No, this matter must also be inseparable from that Penglai Sanren.

"Oh...you..."

Gong Ningzi turned around, and finally let Eunuch Gou and his party go away pretending to be kind. For a while, there were only a few old priests who were silent and escorted His Highness the Crown Prince by the carriage.

By this time, Gong Ningzi certainly noticed something wrong with these people.

Those eunuchs Gou were still fashionable and not obvious, but now that those people have run away, the weirdness of these old priests is particularly obvious.

Their faces were abnormally pale, as white as those paper dolls burned for their ancestors when they went to the grave, and their breathing was extremely slow, and their eyes were even more lifeless.

Gong Ningzi got into the car and took "Zhang Qiong" out of the car, and the priests all turned their heads, their dark eyes fixed on Hong Mudan's body motionless.

Gong Ningzi was slightly startled, and took a few steps forward with the red peony, and those priests followed at the same time, but the people were walking forward, but their necks were twisted straight, and several faces happened to be facing each other. Zhang Qiong.

Through the sleeve, Hong Mudan squeezed Gong Ningzi hard, and the two exchanged a glance quickly, but they had reached a consensus - I am afraid that these old priests who can still breathe are no longer alive. people.

Gong Ningzi lowered his eyes, still following the eunuch Wang's temper on his face, pretending to be scared and angry, grabbed "Zhang Qiong" and walked up the steps, and stopped at the door of the Maya Abode.

According to the customary rules in the palace, there should be a passerby at this door no matter what. Unexpectedly, the situation is quite different now. Like the palaces that the convoy passed by before, there was no one there.

In desperation, Gong Ningzi had no choice but to knock on the door, but before he could exert any force, the gilded door creaked and opened gently.

The sound of joyful music and the woman's laughter suddenly poured out from the opened door like a tide.

Gong Ningzi hunched over, as if he was very frightened, and took "Prince Qiong" carefully into the Maya Abode.

As a result, he was surrounded by those seemingly human but not human offerings. He just turned around the screen wall and saw everything in front of him. He immediately understood why the eunuch Gou and other living people were frightened by the laughter before.

It's really because the scene in the Maya Abode looks really infiltrating.

The music they heard before was indeed music, but the people who played and sang the piano were all skinny, with pale faces and hollow eyes, as if they had lost their souls at all.Gong Ningzi glanced at the old priests out of the corner of his eyes, guessing that the people who played the music were probably in the same state as these old priests.

And the only living people seen in the arena were those concubines who were once loved in the palace.

It's just that in Gong Ningzi's memory, the beautiful concubines are almost inhuman now.I saw that they were all trapped in a large tank that was as tall as a person, with only their heads exposed.Something could be faintly heard wriggling in the big vat, and every time the wriggling sound sounded, the imperial concubine would open her mouth wide, and let out a shrill scream like a maniacal laugh.

Gong Ningzi felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up one by one - if he remembered correctly, it was not ordinary torture that tortured these concubines, but a very rare Gu insect "laughing insect".

The worms were only the size of a thumb, but they were densely packed and numerous. They preferred to feed on the flesh and blood of young women.Moreover, they only eat living things and not dead bodies, so when they eat, they will secrete a kind of venom. When they eat the flesh and blood of a woman, the woman will only feel a crazy itching, and then she will be unable to control it Laughed out loud.

This kind of laughing worm feeds on the essence of young women's flesh and blood, so after being ground and used as medicine, a medicine that claims to prolong life and delay aging can be extracted...

Many years ago, the so-called elixir of life mentioned in the world was actually a powder made by this kind of laughing worm.

It's just that this kind of thing is too sinister and vicious, and then the Nanjiang Poison King's lineage took action and ordered the destruction of this Gu insect.Who knew that Xiaoyaozi would fight with the Poison King of Nanjiang afterwards, and after the latter failed, all family heirlooms for a hundred years belonged to Xiaoyaozi.

The laughing worm reappeared in Wangyou Valley under Xiaoyaozi's research...

I thought that after the chaos in Wangyou Valley, the laughing worms had been extinct again, but I didn't expect that now at the place where the lord of a country is, he would actually see this extremely evil thing alive again.

At this time, Gong Ningzi had already confirmed in his heart that the origin of the Penglai Sanren was probably the Wangyou Valley under Xiaoyaozi's rule back then, but he didn't know the identity of that person and who he was back then.

And since he has achieved this level, I am afraid that the purpose of that person also involves Lin Mao today.

Gong Ningzi walked step by step, but her heart gradually calmed down.

On the contrary, Hong Mudan, who was standing beside him, felt cold sweat gradually break out on his back.

Only someone like her who has known Gong Ningzi for a long time can faintly realize how frightening Gong Ningzi is at this time...

As the saying goes, killing intent is like the sea.
