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

In the alley, Chang Qing and Yao Xianxian have their own thoughts.

In Lin Mao's room, the atmosphere between Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao was even more solemn.

Ever since Lin Mao asked those words, Chang Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said nonchalantly, "Why did Master ask such a question?"

But he didn't know that his indifferent demeanor now was exactly the same as that of Chang Qing back then, Lin Mao felt pain in his heart when he saw it.

Many years ago, whenever Chang Qing did something that he didn't want Lin Mao to know, when facing Lin Mao who noticed the clues and couldn't stop asking, Chang Qing would show such a smile to prevaricate.

Lin Mao didn't know the tricks in his early years, but he was often fooled by him. Later, because he couldn't bear it, he pretended not to know anything and let Chang Qing deceive him—and the situation gradually deteriorated under such circumstances. It continued until Chang Qing finally died in Lin Mao's arms in such a bleak manner.

"If you don't say it, the fate of master and apprentice will end here."

When Lin Mao thought of his senior brother, his heart ached slightly, and his tone seemed to be much harder when he spoke.

Chang Xiaoqing raised her eyes to see Lin Mao's expression, and found that the other party had a serious expression, she was instantly terrified, she went back and forth three or four times in her stomach and forgot all the prevarications and perfunctories, and finally she only spoke the truth.

"Back then, Master, you were seriously ill. I would often bring that nameless old man into the valley to see a doctor for Master. Over time, we became familiar with each other. However, one day, the nameless old man asked me whether it is necessary to practice It is a method of restraining the mind so that people can be pure and ascetic..."

Chang Xiaoqing was very ambiguous about why he needed to practice such a technique.

Lin Mao also looked downcast, as if he didn't notice the blankness in Chang Xiaoqing's words.

In short, in those few years, the unknown old man seemed to see something wrong with Chang Xiaoqing with just one glance.

Then there is the teaching and practice with their own minds.

Chang Xiaoqing was careful in every possible way, but finally fell into the trap of the unknown old man unintentionally.

He can finally restrain his increasingly uncontrollable words and deeds in front of Lin Mao, but on the other hand, he often loses his reason and memory suddenly.

"So that night, it was actually you..."

Lin Mao's expression moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking.

Chang Xiaoqing's eyes dimmed.

"Yes, I was insane."

Lin Mao's mood suddenly became complicated, but at this moment, Chang Xiaoqing suddenly said: "Master, actually, the reason why I want to practice that kind of exercise is because... because..."

When Chang Xiaoqing said this, a little stiffness appeared in his expression.

In fact, Chang Xiaoqing was already aware of the feelings she had towards her master that violated the laws of nature and human ethics.

He felt that something was wrong, but it was hard to suppress the surge of emotion.

As she grew older, Chang Xiaoqing wished she could put her mattress next to the well outside the house.

The yang qi is really surging, day and night as long as he thinks of Lin Mao, Chang Xiaoqing has no choice but to extinguish the endlessly circling charming fantasies in his mind with bone-chilling well water.

Chang Xiaoqing has always kept this feeling deep in her heart and dare not confide in it.

However, at this moment, Chang Xiaoqing looked at Lin Mao's beautiful side face, and suddenly felt an impulse in her heart, wanting to tell Lin Mao everything clearly.

Among them, it naturally includes Chang Xiaoqing's love for Lin Mao.

"Master, actually I..."

"All right."

Lin Mao interrupted Chang Xiaoqing's words abruptly.

The two looked at each other suddenly, silently.

But the eyes said it all.

"Don't do that kind of thing again."

Lin Mao said dryly in a low voice, lowering his brows and eyes, silently avoiding Chang Xiaoqing's gaze.

Chang Xiaoqing stared at Lin Mao in a daze.

Under the dim light, it looks more and more delicate and fair, with skin as warm as ivory, and lips as soft and rosy as petals, and long eyelashes drooping down so docilely, covering the dark amber pupils, probably Is it because you noticed something?The crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly amidst the nervousness.

Restraint, avoidance, panic...

Lin Mao thought he was covering it up very well, but he didn't know that after getting along with Chang Xiaoqing for so many years, he could see all his emotions so clearly.

The more he avoided like this, the fire in Chang Xiaoqing's heart that had been burning for many years became more intense.

Wanting to completely smash that fragile cover, wanting to roughly pull such a slender and trembling person out of the transparent crystal box.

At this moment, Chang Xiaoqing only felt that his mind was blank, everything in this world had been reduced to smoke, and the only thing left was the frail young man in front of him with a stiff expression and downcast eyes.

Master, I am pleased with you!

This sentence has almost turned into substance and keeps rolling on the tip of Chang Xiaoqing's tongue.

But he was only one step away from speaking out.

But it's just such a sentence, if you really want to say it, it is so difficult and bitter.

"Master."

He took a step forward relentlessly, and grabbed Lin Mao's hand firmly.

"I……"

"It's late at night, you should go to bed."

Lin Mao said in a hoarse voice.

"I dont want to sleep."

Chang Xiaoqing said.

"I just want to tell Master, I'm telling you, Master..."

Just when Chang Xiaoqing was about to finish this sentence, a low cry came from outside the window.

"Wo Cao, what's going on here? I passed out by relying on me? Master, Master, are you okay—"

The wooden door was kicked open with a bang, and Ji Wuming broke into Lin Mao's room with a disheveled face and a panicked face, with a shiny saliva on his face.

"Master, you can't stay here for long—brother? Why are you in Master's room?"

Ji Wuming suddenly stopped, and looked at the two people in the room blankly.

Chang Xiaoqing: "..."

Lin Mao: "..."

In the suffocating silence, Lin Mao pretended to unintentionally pull his hand out of Chang Xiaoqing's.

"It's the nameless old man we've been tracking down."

Lin Mao explained softly to Ji Wuming.

"He came tonight, probably because he was afraid of disturbing the two of you, so he used some unknown drug to knock you and Xiaoqing unconscious."

Ji Wuming was shocked immediately: "Wait, that person is going to harm you, Master?" But soon after he saw Chang Xiaoqing, his tone became more relaxed.

"Ah, it must be the younger brother who took action to solve that person again."

Chang Xiaoqing, who was named by Ji Wuming, was cold and cold, and gave him a gloomy look. Ji Wuming shrank his neck involuntarily, not knowing where he had offended him.

Half helpless and half relieved, Lin Mao pushed the idiot out of the room to sleep, and then logically explained what Chang Xiaoqing said and did before.

It's just that when Chang Xiaoqing left Lin Mao's room, his footsteps stopped.

"Master, if the person by your side at this moment is my father, you certainly wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."

Lin Mao's movements froze immediately, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Chang Xiaoqing did not stay far away to wait for Lin Mao's answer, but walked away at a faster pace.

Lin Mao looked at his back from a distance, and felt that the other party seemed to be running away.

Lin Mao tossed and turned that night, almost sleepless.

After finally waiting for dawn, before Lin Mao walked out of the room and had no time to yawn, he saw a slender figure waiting in front of his room.

The skinny young man was dressed in plain white clothes, and the cuffs and hem were soaked with dew. It was unknown how long he had stood at Lin Mao's door.

"Bai Ruolin?"

Lin Mao frowned slightly when he saw the white clothes on the man.

He vaguely remembered that he also liked to wear white clothes when he was young, but for some reason, seeing Bai Ruolin wearing white clothes at this time, he only felt that it was quite subtle.

Unexpectedly, after Bai Ruolin turned his head slowly, the expression on his face looked a little weird and unnatural.

"Master Lin."

But the voice that came out of "Bai Ruolin" was very charming, like a woman's voice.

Well?

woman?

Lin Mao saw that the person in front of him, who could be regarded as a suave and handsome man, opened his mouth with a woman's unique voice, and felt deeply disobedient.

But soon Lin Mao remembered that Gong Ningzi's Baihua Lingzhu was best at pretending to be someone else, so it didn't take long for him to recognize Hong Mudan's true identity.

"Wait, you're Peony girl?!"

But why did Hong Mudan pretend to be Bai Ruolin to meet Lin Mao?

Just as Lin Mao was about to ask, Hong Mudan said, "Can Guzhu Master Lin still count on the plan he said yesterday?"

Lin Mao was startled, then looked at the red peony, and found that she still couldn't hide her weakness under the disguise.

"Naturally," he said afterward.

Red Peony pressed Bai Ruolin's face with a slightly relieved expression.

"Then are you willing to enter the palace tomorrow?"

"tomorrow?"

Lin Mao was very surprised. When he was discussing this matter with Hong Mudan and Bai Ruolin in Chizheng Mansion yesterday, Hong Mudan still insisted not to let Lin Mao venture into the palace, but why did Hong Mudan completely change his mind after only one night? ?

Probably because Lin Mao's expression was too obvious, Hong Mudan also sensed Lin Mao's doubts.

She laughed miserably, and suddenly pulled her neckline open, exposing her chest in front of Lin Mao.

I saw half a black handprint on the top of the woman's tightly wrapped chest and under the collarbone.

"This is the palm print left by Bai Ruolin when he fought with me yesterday."

Red Peony said softly.

"After he saw your face yesterday, his expression was quite strange. There was no mortal enmity between me and him, but I had to fight him all night. And Bai Ruolin's martial arts were not mediocre before. After the monster appeared, out of thin air, he had an indescribably profound and treacherous martial arts, which was obviously taught by the old man Qianji..."

Hong Mudan thought of what happened last night, even with her fearless temperament, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She also relied on Bai Ruolin's unsteadiness after seeing Lin Mao yesterday, and suddenly called out Lin Mao's name when the other party attacked him, which caused Bai Ruolin to turn around suddenly, and she took the opportunity to violently hurt others, so it's okay Yi finally subdued him completely.

Hong Mudan has to admit that she and Gong Ningzi have always underestimated Bai Ruolin.

When Gong Ningzi pretended to indulge Bai Ruolin to seize power, Bai Ruolin had been silently growing his power and improving his ability.

But it was not until this moment that she deeply realized that the reason why Bai Ruolin was able to rise to the position so quickly and ruled out other people to take charge of the government was not only due to his status as Gong Ningzi's apprentice.

"Bai Ruolin has a lot to do with him, and he is the only connection between the Chizheng Mansion and the monster in the palace, so even if I want to clean up Gong Ningzi's house, I have to wait for a while. I will temporarily trap him in the place where I was imprisoned. In that hut. But it's not a long-term solution..."

As Hong Mudan spoke, a layer of exhaustion and despair appeared in her pupils.

"Bai Ruolin's party has already occupied nine out of ten important positions in the government, and they are backed by the government. Once the Bai party realizes something is wrong, the government will really be in chaos."

So even though she imprisoned Bai Ruolin, she still didn't dare to break face with him directly. Instead, she relied on her superb disguise technique to disguise herself as Bai Ruolin, so as to appease everyone in the Bai Party so that they would not notice something was wrong.

"and……"

"And you are worried that once Bai Ruolin is out of your control, he will completely surrender to Old Man Qianji, right?"

Lin Mao looked at Hong Mudan and finished the next sentence for her.

Red Peony gave a miserable laugh, and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, he's still more or less concerned about his mentorship with Gong Ningzi, and he still wants to save Gong Ningzi from the old man Tianji. But once we tear ourselves apart, it will be a complete death. ——After thinking about it, in the end, I feel that yours is almost the most meticulous and detailed."

But what Red Peony didn't say was that the meeting with Lin Mao yesterday was the biggest variable in this matter.

It can be said that if Bai Ruolin had never met Lin Mao, Hong Mudan still had some confidence that Bai Ruolin would not have watched Gong Ningzi die.

But in this world, there are many things that arise out of love and hatred, and what caused Bai Ruolin's crazy appearance yesterday, Hong Mudan has her own conclusion in her heart, so she just wanted to solve this matter thoroughly before all troubles happen.

"To be honest, it would be better to just kill him, so as not to worry about his collusion with old man Qianji, and worry about him being unfavorable to Guzhu Lin—"

Hong Mudan rubbed the wig on her head and said wearily.

"But now you and I are both on the verge of riding a tiger. For now, the only way to do it is to enter the palace as soon as possible and fight to the death with the old man Qianji."

Lin Mao was about to say yes to Hong Mudan, but Chang Xiaoqing's voice suddenly came from beside him.

"I disagree--"

Lin Mao turned around suddenly, only to find Chang Xiaoqing standing beside him with black eye circles, but he didn't know when he came.

Chang Xiaoqing stared at Lin Mao's face, knowing that Lin Mao probably didn't sleep well last night.

The two suddenly met their gazes, and each other was a little indescribably stiff.

Chang Xiaoqing quickly looked away, and then looked at Hong Mudan.

He repeated coldly: "This matter is too risky, I absolutely do not agree—"

Red Peony's face changed slightly.

Lin Mao shook his head, and said to Chang Xiaoqing in a soft but extremely firm voice: "I have already decided on this matter. I will go to the palace and find a way to rescue Gong Ningzi. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Red Peony asked quickly.

"I can understand that you are worried that Bai Ruolin's subordinates are not aware of it. In order to prevent Ye Changmeng from having more dreams, you hurriedly set the date of entering the palace for tomorrow. But I have already said that you want to deal with old man Qianji , I must have Qiao’s extinguishing lamp as a trump card—”

Before Lin Mao could finish speaking.Red Peony interjected, "I've already got it."

"What?" Now it was Lin Mao's turn to be surprised.

The Extinguishing Lamp is the heirloom of the Qiao family. According to Lin Mao's thinking, even the Chizheng Mansion in its heyday would need some effort to get the Extinguishing Lamp, but now, after only one night, Red Peony actually told him , Already got the Exterminator? !

What is this...

Red Peony noticed Lin Mao's disbelief, and said with a complicated expression: "It just so happens... Lin Guzhu, do you have time to meet someone with me?"

Lin Mao saw Hong Mudan's unnatural expression at a glance, and his heart skipped a beat. He obviously didn't know anything, but he seemed to have vaguely noticed who the person Hong Mudan was talking about.

And when he stepped into a hidden hall in the inner mansion of Chizheng Mansion step by step against the soaring cold air from Chang Xiaoqing behind him, he saw the thin young man sitting on the grand teacher's chair, and the guess in his heart was instantly overwhelmed. It turns out.

"Master Qiao, why are you here?"

Standing at the door, Lin Mao asked with mixed feelings.

After hearing his voice, Qiao Muyun jumped up, but staggered because of a trance, and almost fell to the ground just like that.

"Mu...Senior Lin."

He turned his head to look at Lin Mao in surprise, the expression on his face changed again and again.

It was joyful at first, then in a trance again, but in the end it turned into endless longing and sorrow.

"Qiao family, Qiao Muyun, heh."

Lin Mao could hear Chang Xiaoqing muttering softly behind him, his tone was flat, but it made him sweat profusely behind his back.

Lin Mao really didn't want to make a scene where the two young guys were jealous and fighting each other in front of Chizheng Mansion Red Peony.So bit the bullet and drove Chang Xiaoqing and Hong Mudan out of the room.

When he was mentally prepared to face Qiao Muyun again, Lin Mao calmed down a little.

"Master Qiao, how are you doing these days?"

Lin Mao took a careful look at Qiao Muyun, and the first sentence he said was this.

It's no wonder that instead of talking about the business of putting the magic lamp on, he wants to talk about Qiao Muyun's body. It's because not too much time has passed since the Tianxian Pavilion, but Qiao Muyun's whole person is from appearance to temperament. All have undergone radical changes.

Everyone can see that Qiao Muyun has probably suffered a lot these days.

He was very thin, and there were many old and new scars on the exposed skin. His breath was calm and gentle, and he looked as if he was more than ten years older than when Lin Mao first met him.The air of a rich man that could not be concealed by thorns and linen clothes has completely faded away.

"I'm very good."

As if frightened by Lin Mao's concern, Qiao Muyun stood there for a moment before replying dryly.

Lin Mao couldn't help but sighed, and then said in a low voice, "It's because of me, you must have had a hard time these days."

On the way to meet Qiao Muyun, Hong Mudan actually told Lin Mao about some things that happened at Qiao's house these days.

It turned out that Qiao Muyun and Qiao Xiaoxiao had almost broken up because of Lin Mao.

Qiao Xiaoxiao was never relentless in making money, but Qiao Muyun deeply hated her for going after her old friends for money.In the end, Qiao Muyun was even kicked out of the house by Qiao Xiaoxiao, which calmed down a bit.

It's just that the eldest young master of the Qiao family in the past is now just a down-and-out ranger in the rivers and lakes, and one can imagine the hardships during the period.

Hearing Lin Mao's words.

Qiao Muyun's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say much.

He couldn't help but want to look at Lin Mao, but he only dared to sneak a glance, and then quickly looked away.

"It's hard work, but it's not a bad thing."

Qiao Muyun cleared her throat and said in a deep voice.

Lin Mao saw that Qiao Muyun's face was showing no reluctance, thinking that the son of an old friend really felt that way, he felt relieved.

"I heard...Senior Lin seems to need to use my Qiao family's magic lamp for something?"

Lin Mao nodded.

"It's a coincidence," Qiao Muyun smiled wryly, and then untied the simple package on the table, "I didn't take any money when I left Qiao's house, but I only brought this magic lamp with me."

While talking, he rummaged through the baggage for a while.

After a while, he stretched out his hand and took out from the bundle a slender and lovely gilt seven-colored glazed lamp with a slender waist and a palm-sized top.

"Is this the extinguishing lamp?"

Lin Mao asked incredulously.

Even though he had such a terrifying reputation as the Extinguisher Lantern, when he held the lamp in his hand, he only felt like jewels, delicate and gorgeous.Not to mention that it is used as a murder weapon, even if it is used as a lamp for ordinary homes, it is a little too flashy.

Seeing Lin Mao's surprised expression, Qiao Muyun's face flashed a bit of embarrassment, and he muttered in a low voice: "The reason why this extinguishing lamp is made into a lamp shape is to surprise and hurt people invisible... "

So we have to deliberately make this shiny and full of jewels and gilt patterns, so that people can't associate it with the murder weapon, right?

It has to be said that if the ancestors of the Qiao family made the magic lamp with such a mind, their purpose would indeed be achieved.

It's like now that Lin Mao knows that this exquisite glass lamp is his trump card to deal with the old man Qianji, and he still feels incredible in his heart.
