That night, Lin Mao knew that he might not be able to fall asleep because of his guilty conscience, so he deliberately took a few calming pills from the package and took them with alcohol, just to sleep a little longer at night so that he could cope with the daytime There are so many tedious and sinister things.

However, after taking the medicine, he still couldn't sleep well, because in the middle of the night Lin Mao was suddenly awakened by a sudden palpitation.

Just as he was about to lie down on the bed and sleep peacefully for a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and the cold sweat broke out on his back.

Breathing……

Listening to the light breathing sound, Lin Mao lost all sleepiness in an instant, only full of vigilance.

It was definitely Xiaoqing's or Ji Wuming's voice.

The three people walking with Lin Mao are all martial arts masters with profound internal skills, and their internal breaths are long, and they will never have such light and shallow breaths.

But if it is said that the martial arts of this person is low, it is definitely not enough - after all, not everyone can avoid Chang Xiaoqing and touch Lin Mao's bedside directly.

When Lin Mao was extremely nervous, that person seemed to have noticed Lin Mao's awakening.Lin Mao only heard a faint sound of flint tapping, and his eyes were dimly lit. The man actually directly lit the simple candle on the table, indicating his arrival.

"It's my fault, I still want to disturb Old Guzhu Lin's sleep at night like this."

An old male voice sounded, and it sounded quite gentle and polite.

Seeing that it was no longer possible for him to pretend to be asleep, Lin Mao had no choice but to brace himself and turn his head to look at the person coming.

"It's you?"

When the face of the visitor came into Lin Mao's eyes, he couldn't help calling out in a low voice.

"it's me."

The corner of the man's mouth moved, and he smiled at Lin Mao.

It's just that his complexion is sallow and wrinkled, and when he smiles, his face is full of vertical and horizontal lines and loose flesh, which makes him look hideous and terrifying.

"What did you do to Chang Xiaoqing?!"

Lin Mao knew that this matter was abnormal, and Chang Xiaoqing would never allow such a big and big nameless old man to enter the house. Now that this person is in Lin Mao's room, it can only show that there is something wrong with Chang Xiaoqing.

The nameless old man waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "He's fine, just let him sleep for a while."

What he didn't say was that it might be difficult for others to make a master like Chang Xiaoqing fall asleep soundly and lose his mind, but for him, it was a piece of cake.

On the contrary, it was Ji Wuming and Jia Ruo who abolished him and worked hard to solve it.

Lin Mao watched the unknown old man for a long time, and felt that there was no malice in this person, so he relaxed a little.

"I've been looking for you, but I didn't expect you to find me first... Should I call you Unnamed Old Man, or should I call you Xing Xinglin?"

Lin Mao stared blankly at the somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face in front of him, and said softly.

The nameless old man listened to Lin Mao revealing his previously disguised identity, without the slightest fluctuation in his face or eyes.

"You have worked too much these days, and the medicines for calming the mind are not well formulated," the unknown old man said to Lin Mao, "there is a problem of instable mind and soul, which is a natural weakness of people like you. So these days, you often have the disease of losing your soul, right? Those disciples of yours don't care about your body too much, and because of your nonsense, the little bones you managed to regain are now stronger than before. Weak."

He seemed to have never had the act of pretending Xing Xinglin was close to Lin Mao at all before, staring at Lin Mao with a pair of cloudy eyes, and he still spoke with the attitude of a doctor who was treating patients in the small and medium-sized courtyard outside Wangyou Valley.

Probably because of this, Lin Maoming knew that this person's behavior was extremely suspicious, but he couldn't feel any malice or resistance towards him in his heart.

"You... who are you?"

Lin Mao frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Why are you approaching me? What do you want to do..."

He thought of the booklet he found in the library of the Wulin League before, and his doubts became even more profound. Seeing the old man in front of him was silent, he couldn't help but asked again: "The reason why you approach me in every possible way is because... ...Konghua?"

When Lin Mao asked a few questions earlier, the unnamed old man's attitude was very calm.

But when he heard the word "Kong Hua", he tried to pretend nothing had happened, but the look in his eyes betrayed him.

Lin Mao had been watching the other party carefully, and when he saw the change in the eyes of the unknown old man, his heart sank.

"you……"

"You don't need to ask so many questions, even if you know the ins and outs, what is there to be happy about?"

The nameless old man interrupted Lin Mao and said softly.

"There is a very good carriage outside the city gate. It must be much more comfortable to ride in than your old one. In addition, there are identity documents and some bank notes that you and your useless apprentices will use in the future. .When dawn comes, you can take them out of the city. With a new identity, no one should harass you anymore..."

"Wait, what are you talking about?!"

Seeing that the unnamed old man became more and more calm as he spoke, as if everything had been arranged for him, Lin Mao couldn't help frowning.

"I have important matters to deal with in the capital—"

The unknown old man suddenly said: "Is it your plan to pretend to be a dead body to enter the palace?"

Lin Mao was shocked suddenly: "You know?!"

The nameless old man looked at Lin Mao, and sighed as if he was suffering from a headache.

"Of course I know... What do I not know about you?" When he spoke to Lin Mao, his tone was like that of an elder to a disobedient child, "Don't mess around Now, listen to me, and leave the land of right and wrong tomorrow with your apprentice. That old monster in the palace is definitely not something you and your useless apprentices can deal with."

"You still have not answered my question."

Seeing that the attitude of the old man in front of him became more and more strange, Lin Mao was half confused and half angry, which gradually showed in his tone.

"What am I, Lin Mao, going to do? When will it be my turn to be controlled by a person who hides his head and shows his tail?! Who are you and what do you want to do—"

"I just don't want you to risk your life in vain!" The nameless old man said suddenly, "I am a nameless person, and the only thing I want to do in this life is to make you live happily and safely. I finally told you to die And resurrection, get rid of that sickly body and return to youth, but now you are so reckless and risky, how can I stand by and watch!"

Hearing these words, Lin Mao felt as if his heart had been pulled hard by something.

"What did you do—I, as Konghua, have nothing to do with you?!"

Lin Mao asked.

The nameless old man seemed to know that he had made a slip of the tongue, and instead of answering Lin Mao's words, he continued to persuasion: "Go away, leave here, and leave far away to stay—"

However, the more he was like this, the more Lin Mao felt that somewhere in his heart was being pulled tightly, and his whole heart was pounding, but he didn't know why.

"Senior Brother Chang..."

Lin Mao said suddenly.

The nameless old man froze suddenly.

Lin Mao's heart was surging, and he reached out with one hand and firmly grabbed the wrist of the unknown old man: "What is the relationship between you and my Senior Brother Chang—"

The nameless old man's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to shake off Lin Mao's pull with a shake of his hand, but for some reason, he seemed to be very weak when he started, and he couldn't shake Lin Mao off after three or four times.On the contrary, it was Lin Mao who seemed to have been clicked on by someone, and his gestures were extremely agile. In the end, he suddenly stretched out his long arms and touched the face of the unknown old man.

He felt that his fingers touched something cold and smooth, and with another force, a piece of flesh was torn off the opponent's face like that.

It turned out to be a human skin mask!

"you--"

It could be seen that the nameless old man was defenseless against this. After his mask was taken off, he was stunned for a moment as if struck by lightning.

But even this short moment of stupefaction was enough for Lin Mao to see the other person's face clearly.

It was a strangely ugly and aged face.

If the human skin mask of the nameless old man only imitated the appearance of ordinary old people, his real face seemed to condense the ugliness and weakness of countless aging people together.

Whether it's the fine, vertical and horizontal deep wrinkles or the loose flesh, mixed together on such a face, the nameless old man looks like some kind of monster rather than a human being.

At that moment, Lin Mao couldn't help but suspect that the old man Qianji, whose life had been extended since 200 years ago, might look younger than the nameless old man who appeared in front of him now.

This is definitely not Brother Chang——

At the moment when the unknown old man froze, Lin Mao actually froze for a moment too.

And in his mind, this idea emerged very clearly.

That's right, he had been secretly speculating about the identity of the unknown old man along the way, and one of the thoughts that made him unable to extricate himself and deeply intoxicated him was that the unknown old man might be Senior Brother Chang.

But now, this idea is shattered into powder in an instant.

Brother Chang was a famous handsome man when he was young. He was suave and tall. If he lived to this day, even if he could not be resurrected like Lin Mao, he should still be a handsome and handsome old man.

And the nameless old man seemed to be the grandfather of the old man Lin Mao before he died.

Deep in Lin Mao's heart, the illusion was disillusioned, and his heart suddenly felt sore and depressed, but he couldn't explain why he felt so uncomfortable.

The thoughts of the two people in this room were all turning back and forth at this moment, but in fact, it was only a moment in time.

The nameless old man suddenly took back the human skin mask that Lin Mao was hooking on his fingertips, and when he met Lin Mao's gaze again, the man had returned to his previous calmness.

"I do have an old relationship with Wangyougu." The nameless old man said dryly, the already dim candlelight flickered slightly at this moment, and Lin Mao couldn't see the other person's eyes clearly between the light and shadow.

But Lin Mao always felt that the words of the unknown old man seemed to pause quickly: "Chang Qing and I are just old friends. Before he died, he sent a letter to me asking me to take care of you, so I can't let you be so reckless anymore. risk-"

"Brother asked you to take care of me?"

Lin Mao intuitively felt that there was something strange about these words, but for a while he couldn't tell where the strange thing was.

Just when he was about to ask more questions, a burst of vigorous energy suddenly fell straight into the room from the window.

The nameless old man raised his brows and moved back four or five steps in an instant.

And almost at the same time, a figure as vigorous as a leopard has already swept in from the window, standing between Lin Mao and the unknown old man.

"Xiaoqing?!"

Needless to say, the person who came was Chang Xiaoqing, who was supposed to have been knocked unconscious by unknown means by an unknown old man.

I saw that Chang Xiaoqing's complexion was ashen, his eyes were red, and his whole body was wet, probably soaked in cold water to maintain his sanity. At this time, because of the circulation of his true energy, the water vapor evaporated and fell on his head and shoulders. A few wisps of white smoke rose up, matching his angry expression, he was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke.

"you wanna die--"

Chang Xiaoqing faced the unknown old man, the murderous look in his voice was so scary.

When the nameless old man saw Chang Xiaoqing, his expression changed even more.

When facing Lin Mao, the nameless old man was suspicious even though his expression was very soft and without any malice, but now when he confronted Chang Xiaoqing, two lines of extreme disgust burst out from those cloudy eyes wrapped in loose flesh. Cold light.

It seemed that standing in front of him was not Lin Mao's apprentice, but his unrevenged enemy.

Since these two people hated each other, now that they met together, they naturally fought together murderously in an instant.

All of a sudden, the room was full of true energy, swords, lights and swords, so chaotic.

At first, Lin Mao tried to stop the fight between the two, but he soon realized that the more he tried to persuade the two to stop, the more fuel would be added to the fire, which made the two fight more fiercely.

He had no choice but to suppress his uneasiness, and quietly watched the fight between the two.

But after a while, Lin Mao saw some tricks.

This nameless old man and Chang Xiaoqing seem to be old acquaintances—no, rather than old acquaintances, they are old enemies.

And the more he watched the two of them punch and kick, the more Lin Mao felt that something was wrong.

What is wrong...

As a bystander, Lin Mao was naturally hard to understand.

But the other two people present knew exactly where the strangeness was.

tacit agreement.

Chang Xiaoqing and the nameless old man obviously had murderous intentions for each other, but whether it was sword fighting or fist fighting, the tacit understanding between the two had been so strong that they both secretly frightened each other.

Before Chang Xiaoqing sent out a sword, the move that the unknown old man was going to deal with would naturally appear in his mind.

And the unknown old man subconsciously used the hidden door kung fu after dealing with it, and at the same time he used it, he already knew how Chang Xiaoqing would avoid it.

As long as one of these two people has a weaker connection, he will be knocked down by the other in an instant.

However, the two seemed to be each other, and in the end they were deadlocked.

At the moment when Chang Xiaoqing almost couldn't hold back his restlessness and used his killing move, the nameless old man suddenly withdrew all his internal energy, and struck lightly at the candlestick on the table with his palm.

"Whoosh-"

The candle flame was already dying in the agitated room, fluttering like a bean.

At this time, it was hit by the palm wind, and it went out in an instant.

The room was plunged into a thick darkness, and when Lin Mao and others lit the candles again, the nameless old man had disappeared.

"hateful--"

The murderous look in Chang Xiaoqing's eyes was still there, he stared at the window—there was a line of fresh uncoagulated blood, which was obviously the place where the unknown old man fled.

Seeing that Chang Xiaoqing was about to chase out with his hands on the window sill, Lin Mao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stopped Chang Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, don't!"

Don't chase him, he's already injured.

Lin Mao almost said the last sentence directly, but at the last moment he suddenly woke up and stopped.

Chang Xiaoqing panted heavily, and it took him a long time to calm down, and turned his head to face Lin Mao.

"Master, he didn't do anything to you, did he?! Damn, he didn't know what method he used to stun me—he actually stunned me—"

Thinking of this, Chang Xiaoqing gritted his teeth angrily.

It's just that only three points of this anger fell on the unknown old man, and seven points fell firmly on himself.

Chang Xiaoqing couldn't believe that she was beaten down by a weak old man like this!

That is to say, the unknown old man never attacked Lin Mao, if something really happened to Lin Mao...

"Xiaoqing, calm down."

It was Lin Mao who saw Chang Xiaoqing's expression was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted the latter's shoulder vigorously, trying to calm him down.

"Master..."

"Xiaoqing, is there anything between you and the unknown old man that I don't know about?"

Lin Mao stared at Chang Xiaoqing, and the words and deeds of the two people when they met before could not help appearing in his mind.

That kind of unexplainable strange feeling came to Lin Mao's heart again, and he couldn't help asking that sentence.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Mao clearly felt Chang Xiaoqing's whole body tense like a stone under his palm.

……

While Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing were talking in the room, in a secluded alley only two or three streets away from them, an unknown old man was clutching his shoulders, leaning against the dirty and cold wall, staring blankly at the moon sky.

"Tick tock..."

"Tick tock..."

"Tick tock..."

The foul-smelling thick black blood trickled down his cuff and fell to the ground, exuding a stench.

The nameless old man smelled the indescribable smell of blood, and strong disgust appeared in his eyes.

This body, even the blood flowing in it is so foul-smelling...

"You are too useless."

A sarcastic voice suddenly came from somewhere in the darkness.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of the scales rubbing against the ground, the half-human snake Yao Xianxian wandered over, looking at his old friend in a panic with his arms crossed.

"That guy's body is getting closer and closer to maturity."

After a long time, the nameless old man replied hoarsely.

He raised his hand and stared at the blood-stained black-red palm with disgust.

"But don't you know how corrupt the body I'm using now is? I'm afraid it won't be long before it's repaired with Gu insects, and this body won't be able to move."

"I thought you would naturally admit your identity in front of Brother Lin..." Yao Xianxian said softly, with a touch of temptation, "If that was the case, you would not have ended up in such a situation. To wrestle with a copy of myself, oh yeah, and then lose.”

Yao Xianxian spoke like this, the unknown old man...or we should call him Evergreen, his expression became more and more cold.

"How could I admit it." Chang Qing said indifferently, he suddenly raised his hand, and threw the human skin mask that had turned into a limp puddle on the dirty ground, "The cat has seen me now. He saw my disgusting appearance like a maggot—"

While speaking, Chang Qing's body trembled uncontrollably.

He rubbed his inelastic, ugly face with his hands, his expression distorted, like a ghost that just crawled out of hell.

"How could I... How could I admit my identity with this appearance?!"

Seeing Chang Qing's rare gaffe, Yao Xianxian heaved a long sigh.

"Actually, you also know that Brother Lin doesn't care."

"you shut up--"

Chang Qing growled ferociously.

"Now it's not that you are trapped in such a disgusting body and can't move! Yes, my cat really doesn't care about my appearance, but I must not care, I am Chang Qing, and I am his senior brother!! Can you imagine? If I really admit my identity, even if I really change into that guy’s body in the future, when the cat thinks of me, my current appearance will still appear in my mind! Cough cough cough……"

When talking about excitement, Chang Qing suddenly covered his mouth and coughed painfully.

The rancid black blood fell on the ground, and some shapeless pieces of meat could be vaguely seen floating in the blood.

Those pieces of flesh were soaked in the foul-smelling black blood, and occasionally they would move weakly for a moment.

Meat pupa body...

Yao Xianxian let out a long breath.

He has always felt that it is miserable for him to walk in the world in this half-snake, half-human situation.But seeing Chang Qing fall into such a situation step by step, he still couldn't help but feel a little pity and gratitude.

Fortunately, he is not evergreen.

Fortunately, he is not a pupa.

Fortunately, he is not the one Chang Qing loves.

"Chang Qing, you are really the most cowardly person I have ever met in this world."

After a while, Yao Xianxian suddenly said quietly.

"You know very well that you will make him very sad."

"..."

Chang Qing coughed in a low voice, but after a long time, she didn't open her mouth to refute.

There was no light in the narrow and dark alley.

So quiet, so dark.

Just like his heart at this moment.
