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

Fortunately, Ji Wuming's hard work finally came to an end.

Lin Mao's mind was full of thoughts, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all, that is, when he was thinking about Chang Xiaoqing, Lin Mao felt that the slippery bricks and stones engraved with words suddenly fell into a groove. There was a "click" sound.

"opened!"

Lin Mao was overjoyed and said softly.Then he felt his hands lighten, and the door, which had probably not been used since the day it was built, slowly retreated amidst the sound of friction between stones, revealing a round hole.

Lin Mao quickly jumped up to the entrance of the secret passage, turned around and pulled Chang Xiaoqing, Jia Ruo and Ji Wuming in one by one.And with Ji Wuming stepping on the secret path last.Then the stone door quietly and slowly closed behind the four of them.

The four of them were suddenly plunged into a deep darkness.

The light in that well was already very thin before, but compared to the situation inside the secret passage now, the place before was almost bright.

It is no longer possible to describe the pitch-blackness with the words that you can't see your five fingers. For a moment, Lin Mao almost had an illusion, as if his body outline and spirit had been swallowed up and melted by this deep darkness.

"It's so dark."

Behind Lin Mao, Ji Wuming muttered softly.

"Master, is everything okay?"

Chang Xiaoqing seemed to be aware of Lin Mao's nervousness at this moment. He quietly held Lin Mao's hand and asked in a low voice.

"fine."

Lin Mao replied.

But Chang Xiaoqing may never know how stiff Lin Mao's body was the moment he spoke just now.

When the darkness swallows up the appearance and outline of a person, leaving only the voice and body temperature, the memory of the past will become extraordinarily clear - and Chang Xiaoqing's breath at that moment almost gave Lin Mao a certain illusion.

As if at this very moment, the person guarding him in the darkness, trying to appease him...is his favorite senior brother from long, long ago.

Fortunately, this illusion didn't last long, almost at the same time as complaining about "it's so dark", Ji Wuming took out the fire pocket from his arms, and tried his best to light the fire tremblingly.

The dim light swayed and rippled away, driving away a small group of darkness. Although the light couldn't even illuminate the toes of a person, it made the four people who had their own concerns involuntarily relax a little.

Under the light of Huozhezi, Lin Mao found the torch hidden in the secret compartment inside the wall. After lighting it, the surroundings of the four became much brighter.

But even so, Lin Mao still had a serious look on his face.

"You must follow me from now on."

He spoke slowly, one word at a time.

"Otherwise, if the mechanism in this secret path is triggered, the four of us may all die here."

After speaking, he held a torch and walked slowly towards the inside of the secret passage.

The following journey is very similar to the situation in Jiancheng Chizheng Mansion back then.

Indeed, the mechanism on the secret road of the Chizheng Mansion in the capital is extremely exquisite. Chang Xiaoqing and Ji Wuming followed Lin Mao, and every time they walked for a longer distance, the clothes on their backs would become more wet with cold sweat.

"If it's the Chizheng Mansion where the city was built, I'm afraid I'll be able to escape with all my strength."

After dangerously following Lin Mao to escape a certain trap, Chang Xiaoqing couldn't help but speak.

"What about here?"

Ji Wuming's face was pale, and he couldn't hold back and asked.

Chang Xiaoqing gave Ji Wuming a cold look under the light of the constantly shaking flames, and then said: "If there is no master, I'm afraid the few of us will really have to bury our bones here."

Ji Wuming couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's not wrong."

But after all, Lin Mao led the way for the three of them. Although they passed through extremely thrillingly, they also passed through the hurdles that made people almost breathless one after another during the conversation between the two brothers.

I don't know how long it took before the four people got out from the exit of the secret passage in a mess, and then...

stepped on the bottom of another well.

"arrive."

Lin Mao said.

He was about to find the exit, but Chang Xiaoqing stepped onto the narrow wall first, and leaped out of the dry well with her astonishingly beautiful lightness.

"Master, let me pull you up."

Chang Xiaoqing said.

However, before he could find the rope, several slender but strong vines crawled up the well wall, and within a short while, there was a staircase made of vines in the dry well.

"..."

Chang Xiaoqing fell down at the mouth of the well, suddenly fell silent.

Jia Ruo stared at Lin Mao with bright red eyes.

"Ah - sneeze!"

Ji Wuming suddenly pinched his nose, pressed his breath, and sneezed cautiously.

"It's really cold in here,"

Ji Wuming said with a bitter expression on his face.

However, when Lin Mao was about to go up the well with the stairs built by Jia Ruo, his heel stepped on a slender and hard object in the mud.

Normally, Lin Mao wouldn't have paid attention to what was in the mud, but on this day, he always felt that his soul was being stepped on lightly.

"Hold on."

Lin Mao said, then bent down and inserted his hand into the black mud.

After a while, Lin Mao withdrew his hand.

In the palm lay a...hairpin full of mud.

When Lin Mao gently wiped the hair fork clean with a handkerchief, he took a closer look at it under the weak light at the bottom of the well.

But it's okay if you don't take a closer look, Lin Mao's heart beats a lot faster in an instant.

"Iron Hairpin Order?!"

Lin Mao caressed the body of the iron hairpin, which had begun to show signs of rust, and sighed half in shock and half in doubt.

……

"Why is the iron hairpin order here?"

When Lin Mao took the iron hairpin up the well with the others, even Chang Xiaoqing couldn't help frowning and asked.

This iron hairpin order is related to Gong Ningzi and Chi Zhengfu, and it is of great use.Lin Mao gave the Tiechai Order to Chizheng Mansion. He thought it was a mistake and failed to deliver it to Gong Ningzi... But Lin Mao never imagined that one day he would end up in an abandoned dry well full of mud See this iron hairpin again.

Lin Mao frowned tightly, and didn't say much, but put the iron hairpin in his hand into the handkerchief and put it in his arms.

"I'm afraid someone else did it—"

Although he said "others", he somehow already had the answer in his heart.

Bai Ruolin.

For some reason, Lin Mao had a strong intuition that the appearance of the iron hairpin at the bottom of the well might have a great relationship with Bai Ruolin.

Thinking of this, Lin Mao couldn't help feeling tight in his chest.

His original idea was to wander around the Chizheng Mansion to inquire about the news, but at this time he suddenly changed his mind and decided to ask Bai Ruolin, the current manager of the Chizheng Mansion, directly.

"Anyway, I have been inquiring and inquiring. I am afraid that in the end, I will have to ask him personally what happened to Gong Ningzi."

Since Lin Mao spoke, how could the group have any objections.

At the moment, Lin Mao was walking all the way, and it didn't take much effort to touch the heart of Chizheng's mansion——Gong Ningzi's study window.

And at the moment when he was about to turn over the window and enter the room, Lin Mao suddenly saw two people through the crack of the window.

【Um? ! 】

Lin Mao's movements stopped immediately, and Chang Xiaoqing, Ji Wuming and Jia Ruo stood stiffly in their original positions.

"What do you want? Do you want that bastard Gong Ningzi to really die?!"

The unusually sharp female voice scraped through the eardrum like a rusty steel knife.

Lin Mao's body trembled, and he quickly called others to join him, and slowly disappeared in the shadow under the study window.

(That is Bai Ruolin, and Princess Yongtong)]

Lin Mao stretched out his hand and silently slid his fingertips across Chang Xiaoqing's palm, conveying the message.

After that, he gently pushed Ji Wuming, gestured with gestures, and passed the same message to Jia Ruo and Ji Wuming.

(Such a shrew... is actually a princess?!)

Ji Wuming opened his mouth and asked in shock.

And Princess Yongtong's performance in the room is indeed becoming less and less like a royal princess with golden branches and jade leaves.

"Bai Ruolin! You little bitch! Haven't you hurt our family enough?! What exactly do you want to get back the body of that old bitch in Wangyou Valley?! Do you know? , if you continue like this, the monster will kill him!"
