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

It turned out that the poor horse was very impatient when Ji Wuming was tied to the gate of this house before, and when Ji Wuming wanted to carry some more luggage on its back, the horse kept licking its hooves in protest.

And ever since he woke up from a coma, Ji Wuming has always had an indescribable feeling - obviously he has a master and a junior by his side, and there is also a strange monk, but he walks among a group of people, but always It's an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.

It is because of this that Ji Wuming saw the bad horse so persistently towards him outside the city gate, and now he couldn't bear to toss the horse anymore, and honestly carried his luggage on his body.

Now that Ji Wuming heard the conversation outside the wall, he secretly sighed in his heart that the world is so wrong, and he should treat that horse better in the future.

While Ji Wuming was thinking about the horse here, the two people outside the wall were still continuing their conversation.

It was the very impatient man who spoke:

"Old man, don't dream about that shit and outsiders come to save you! You don't look at the situation along the way. Now the whole capital except the people in the mansion has saved their lives. Everyone else How can there be such good luck..."

House?

Hearing this sensitive word, Lin Mao's heart moved slightly.

Chang Xiaoqing, who was beside him, seemed to have a good understanding with him. Before Lin Mao could signal, he stretched out his hand, and quietly poked a small hole in the earthen wall with his profound internal strength.

Lin Mao cautiously went to the entrance of the cave to peek out, and saw two scrawny youths with haggard faces and a man in the same dire condition walking around the poor horse.

And the clothes on the two of them were just as Lin Mao had imagined in his mind, they were the uniforms of the official government -- but what made Lin Mao feel rather glaring was that the clothes on both of them were white, and their waists were white. The tokens in the room further prove that the master they are obeying now is the ungrateful traitor Bai Ruolin who deceived his master and exterminated his ancestors.

Lin Mao clenched his teeth unconsciously, feeling that what he was going to hear next might make his heart feel even more heavy.

And his instincts were clearly right.

The young man was reprimanded by the man, but there was no expression of disgust on his face.

"I was stupid..." he said quietly, with deep sorrow in his eyes, "yes, how can there be other living people in this capital now?"

"..."

The man didn't make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the young man said again: "But now I'm not sure whether it's a blessing or a misfortune for the two of us buddies to vote for that surnamed Bai in Chizheng's mansion. Why are you talking about things in Chizheng's mansion?" That’s how evil it is. They come out to look for living people every day. Those who find them on the first day go back and report them and die the next day. Those who find them on the second day die on the third day—anyone with eyes can see that. This is not right, tell me, this Shilaozi plague is probably the one named Bai—"

"Shh, you don't want to die!"

The lazy man suddenly raised his hand and slapped the young man hard on the face.

The young man froze for a moment, then quickly shut up.

Lin Mao's frown became tighter and tighter. He was not mistaken, it was obvious that the man was the one who beat someone, but he looked more frightened than the young man he guessed.

And the more that man behaved like this, the more Lin Mao knew in his heart that what the young man said before... was not a lie.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Mao's premonition grew stronger and stronger. ;

It turns out that the "plague" in the capital was just intermittent deaths before. At that time, there were rumors that there was no cure for this plague. .

The two brothers had a little martial arts, and after exerting a lot of strength, they finally joined Chizheng's family in a hurry.But the two of them never expected that on the second day after they became outer disciples of Chizheng Mansion, all the people in the capital died overnight.

As for the rumor, it really wasn't fabricated by someone else. The brothers and their families were all dead, but these two survived.

And now that they are relying on the name of the official disciple to save their lives, they have to bite the bullet and continue with the drudgery of patrolling the city to find people.

"Oh, don't tell me, I would rather not find a living person in ten and a half months."

The man regained his composure, waved his hand, and suddenly said quietly.

The young man looked at the man, startled slightly, and then suddenly realized.

"Third brother should be more careful. This horse really escaped from the carriage house. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a foreigner."

The young man said dryly.

Hearing this, Lin Mao suddenly felt something in his heart. He continued to stare at the man through the small hole, only to realize that the latter's eyes seemed to have glanced at the door of the mansion intentionally or unintentionally.

Now, Lin Mao could tell that the man seemed to be covering for them.

That's right, the four of them had always felt that there was no longer any living people in the capital, and they didn't even think about covering up the traces when they came to this dilapidated and empty house to repair.

Even though the poor horse had no luggage on its back, the dusty sandy ground lay at the door of the dilapidated house, and it was impossible for them to cover up their footprints no matter what.

From the previous conversation between the man and the young man, it can be heard that they came out to look for people, on the surface they said it was high-sounding, and it was the few old officials left in the court who wanted to rescue the surviving people in the city.But in fact, as long as they find someone alive, those people will also be sucked into a ball of black blood by the echo Gu the next day.

I'm afraid that man also noticed that something was wrong, so when he found out that the situation was wrong, he would deliberately erase the whereabouts of several people.

Lin Mao secretly remembered the faces of the man and the young man through the small hole, and then watched the two get on their horses and leave.

When the sound of horseshoes disappeared completely, Lin Mao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other.

"Will you not get the plague if you join the Chizheng Mansion?"

Ji Wuming spoke first, followed by a sneer.

"It's also fortunate that they are not afraid of ghosts coming to the door in the middle of the night when they say this."

It was the first time Lin Mao saw Ji Wuming gnashing his teeth like this, and he nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that after Bai Ruolin took over the Chizheng Mansion, he colluded with the owner of the resurrection Gu—by the way, didn't I tell you about the resurrection Gu?"

Lin Mao suddenly remembered and said quickly.

Seeing that the two apprentices nodded, Lin Mao figured out the principle of the resurrection Gu according to what he had seen in a trance before.

"I always feel that the resurrection Gu may also be related to the empty flower. If I guess correctly, this Gu is used to prolong the life and appearance of ordinary people, but to make offerings to this Gu, I am afraid that countless people need to be killed..."

"The whiskers secrete venom."

Lin Mao didn't expect that Jia Ruo would be the one who interrupted him and continued his guessing.

"what?"

Lin Mao couldn't help but speak.

Jia Ruo stared straight at Lin Mao, a few tiny vines emerged from his neckline again, swaying the tender green leaves ostentatiously.

Jia Ruo turned a deaf ear and continued, "The venom will melt the flesh and blood of ordinary people into liquid, and the whiskers of Gu worms will pierce the flesh and absorb all the essence of soul blood in a person's life, leaving only stale and rotten flesh." , and the Gu master maintains his own life by devouring the essence brought back by the Gu insects."

"How do you know this?"

Lin Mao frowned slightly, and what Jia Ruo said was much more detailed than his guess based on the scene in the dream.

And inexplicably... After listening to Jia Ruo's words, Lin Mao was sure that everything the monk said was true.

Is it because of the so-called "empty flowers, empty flowers, and flowers"?

Lin Mao was taken aback when he thought of his identity as Konghua.

And at this moment, Jia Ruo's figure shook slightly.

"Gara?"

Lin Mao was surprised, Nagaruo looked up at Lin Mao, and whispered in a voice almost groaning: "I think... this place makes me... very uncomfortable..."

Lin Mao saw the vines growing on Jia Ruo's body when he was absent-minded, and suddenly looked quite similar to the fleshy whiskers spreading from the man's body in the dream, and his chest froze for a moment.

No, probably just his nervousness.

Lin Mao quickly comforted himself in his heart, not daring to continue thinking about it.

He fed some of his own blood, then remembered what the two Chizheng Mansion said before, and quickly asked Ji Wuming to go to the surrounding houses to find some hungry and dying domestic animals trapped in cages and feed them to Jia Ruo .

Sure enough, after drinking those chickens, geese, and other domestic animals, Jia Ruo's face looked much better in an instant.

On the contrary, Ji Wuming had a fight with some geese, his face was covered with red marks from being sucked by the geese, his clothes were also torn many holes, and he looked extremely embarrassed and haggard.

And since the two people who held the Zhengfu before almost all had already named in front of Lin Mao that there was something wrong with the Chizheng's mansion, Lin Mao naturally didn't care about other things, and just waited to sneak into the Chizheng's mansion in the capital that night to find out what happened. .

Jingcheng Chizheng Mansion doesn't look particularly eye-catching - at least compared with the magnificent appearance of Jiancheng Chizheng Mansion, the capital's side seems to be quite satisfactory in terms of system and seat selection.

Only Lin Mao himself knows that the finishing of the main residence in the capital is probably several times that of the construction of the city.

What's more, today is different from the past, if there are people coming and going in the Chizheng Mansion, and everyone has their own errands, they may be able to find some loopholes to pass through cheaply.But now I am afraid that half of the remaining living people in the whole capital are gathered in Chizheng Mansion, and people are panicking, it is even more difficult to spy on Liu Chizheng Mansion at night.

However, among this group of people, after all, there is still one person named Lin Mao.

This night, the night is dark and windy.

In the entire capital, no one lights a lamp, no one holds a candle.

In the pitch darkness, there is only a ghostly aura all over the city.

It is indeed a good time to visit other people's houses at night.

"...I didn't expect that the passwords and maps he told me one day would actually come in handy."

Lin Mao bowed his body, trying to recall the secret order that he had asked and answered with Gong Ningzi while talking with Gong Ningzi, and at the same time whispered quietly.

His feet are now stepping on Chang Xiaoqing's back, because only in this way, he will not fall into the cold and smelly mud.

He stroked the moss-covered stone wall in front of him with his hands, trying to identify the uneven lines under his hands.

Just from the greasy moss, one can realize that this door has not been opened for many years.

Just like the time when the city was built, this time Lin Mao has to walk a road that ordinary people who hold the government can't walk in their lifetime.

That is a road that belongs exclusively to Gong Ningzi, the master of Chizheng Mansion.

In the world today, there may not be more than five people who know the existence of this road.

Lin Mao and Gong Ningzi are probably the only ones who know all the secret orders and routes, and can safely pass through the densely packed organs and maze formations.

"I didn't expect that the secret path of Chizheng Mansion would be so uninspired to be built in a well."

When Ji Wuming heard Lin Mao's words, he answered dryly, with a very resentful tone.

It turns out that the place where the four of them are now is really an inconspicuous well in an inconspicuous yard.

The mouth of the well is long and narrow, and the entrance is at the bottom of the well.

Of course, it is more or less common practice to build the entrance and exit of the secret passage in the well, but Ji Wuming really didn't expect the well to be so narrow - but among the four, he was the only one who suffered from it.

After all, Lin Mao is just a slender boy now, and Jia Ruo is not a person in person.

As for Chang Xiaoqing...

Chang Xiaoqing has learned Lin Mao's southern border bone shrinking technique, and he is even more comfortable.

"Master...that secret order...when will it match..."

Ji Wuming rolled his eyes and whispered in pain.

"I feel like the flesh on my waist has been strangled to my neck."

After the words fell, he looked down at the relaxed appearance of his burliest junior brother, and felt even more bitter.

"Master, I will teach me this bone shrinking technique some other day. I think I really need this skill to walk in the rivers and lakes. It is so useful. Didn't I lose a lot of weight when I was in a coma? Why do I feel like I have regained weight these days—— —”

The more nervous Ji Wuming is, the more he has a nagging problem. It's a pity that this problem was harmless in the past, but the past is the past, and today is the present.

"No." Chang Xiaoqing said indifferently, and then added, "You better shut up right away."

Chang Xiaoqing endured being annoyed by the person above him all the way, but when he heard that Ji Wuming wanted to learn the bone shrinking technique, the image of being intimate with Lin Mao in the small building immediately appeared in his mind.Since his temperament changed drastically, his love for Lin Mao has only increased. How could he allow his disliked senior brother to get along with Lin Mao like that.

But Chang Xiaoqing didn't know that even if he didn't refuse so bluntly, Lin Mao would not agree to teach Ji Wuming such secret techniques.

After all, from the very beginning, it was an exception that he handed over the bone shrinking technique to Chang Xiaoqing.

And the reason for this exception, is simply because...

Lin Mao thought of this, and his mind was slightly confused.

Is it because of what?For a while, it seemed that even he himself could not give a specific reason.

The author has something to say: Ji Wuming: I don’t know why I always feel lonely, there are three people beside me...

Horse: Heh.
