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

Lin Mao couldn't remember how many times he reached out to touch the magic lamp in his arms, but never once did he feel that the magic lamp was so cold and biting.

The coffin was lifted up again.

It's just that this time the coffin was lifted wobbly and bumped up and down, completely different from the stability of the living puppets before.

Not to mention the heavy panting coming from the coffin wall, all reminding Lin Mao that the people carrying the coffin at this moment are all living people who have not been deprived of their sanity.

Although judging from the opponent's pace and breathing rate, these people probably don't have any martial arts, but Lin Mao is still much more vigilant than before, and he doesn't dare to sit and lie in the coffin to peek at the outside world like before, let alone continue. Use the secret voice to talk to Chang Xiaoqing under him.

Chang Xiaoqing naturally also noticed the change in the atmosphere. Since Lin Mao didn't speak again, he also fell silent.

Suddenly, the coffin became extremely silent.

Lin Mao lay flat in the coffin, and the magic lamp pressed heavily on his chest.

He listened quietly to the sound of footsteps and panting outside the coffin, feeling a faint sense of silence in his heart.

Following the sound of random footsteps, the light entering the coffin from the ventilation holes became slender and bright. Lin Mao guessed that he might have gradually entered the interior of the underground imperial city from the outer court.

What Lin Mao didn't see was that his own coffin was being carried slowly forward along a magnificent and bright corridor.Expensive shark oil lamps were burned recklessly on the domes of the caves outside the underground imperial city, and naturally, all kinds of lamps were not stingy burning inside the imperial city.But the total number of lamps in the entire underground imperial city may not be as many as those on both sides of this corridor.Some of the lamps were originally placed here—for example, the shark candles standing on the tall gilt antler lamp base, each one is as thick as a baby's arm, and the bright white flame looks like a human being. About the size of a fist, it trembled slightly at the top of the shark candle; but more lamps were ordered to be taken out from various warehouses and placed here after the old man Qianji inhabited the underground imperial city silently. , that's probably the case. Those lamps of different shapes are piled up together, which makes people feel particularly uncoordinated.

But now, in the entire imperial city, no one dared to raise any objections to old man Qianji.

Those who are more courageous have already been thrown into the lake below the underground imperial city.

As for why a monster like Old Man Qianji is so eager for bright light... These questions are also deeply hidden in the bottom of their hearts by those who are still alive, and they dare not reveal the slightest clue to the outside.

In the light that was so bright that it was even dazzling, when the group of people stepped on the ground, they couldn't even see their shadows.

Too many flames raised the temperature of the air in the tunnel, and Lin Mao clearly felt that the ice cubes piled up beside him were gradually melting.

Not so good...

Lin Mao was a little worried that these ice cubes would not be able to wait for the coffin to reach the old man Qianji, and without ice as a cover, with his three-legged cat's breath-holding skills, it was difficult for Lin Mao to convince himself that he would be able to fool Qianji in the first instant elder.

Of course, there was a more disturbing point besides this: the cold air was soaking through his clothes and skin along with the melted water droplets, and penetrated deeply into his muscles and bone marrow.

Lin Mao gritted his teeth tightly to prevent himself from trembling uncontrollably. At the same time, he was still tightening and relaxing his muscles regularly - especially the muscles of his fingers - so as not to be able to activate the killing lamp smoothly at a critical moment.

And in this difficult process, Lin Mao finally heard the moving sound of the door shaft sliding——

"The inner door opens—"

A eunuch's voice came from afar.

Then, there was the characteristic heavy friction sound when the wooden door that had not been opened for many years was opened.

When we arrived at this place, the light became darker, but at the same time, a stench wafted in through the ventilation holes, making Lin Mao almost nauseous in the coffin.

This taste...

Lin Mao found in a daze that he was familiar with this stench. Although he couldn't find the specific memory at all, there was a voice in his heart telling him clearly that this was some kind of comprehensive insect Gu that was on the verge of dying. The peculiar stench emitted when it collapses.

Is it because of this that old man Qianji is so unscrupulous?

Lin Mao couldn't help thinking.

After a while, Lin Mao finally felt the coffin shake.

The coffin was placed on the ground, and unlike the light fishy and sweet smell that came out when the shark candle was burning, the room where the coffin was placed was filled with a strong, even pungent, incense.

The thick incense comes from piles of burning spices, agarwood, borneol, Ruijin, cinnamon sticks...

Layers upon layers of thick fragrance covered it like an invisible blanket, even Lin Mao who was hiding in the coffin was almost suffocated by the fragrance.But the strange thing is that the moment he smelled that fragrance, a certain familiar feeling rose in Lin Mao's heart.

He had smelled this fragrance long, long ago.

No, not just smelling it, but soaking in this fragrance for a long time.

A trembling feeling spread along the back of Lin Mao's neck along his spine, as if a poisonous snake was crawling inside his body.

Old Man Qianji...or in other words, Mr. Qianji burned incense in his residence every day, just like today.

Lin Mao suddenly remembered that Lin Sheng's memory was deep in his soul, and a small corner was swept away by the fragrance.That's right, that's right, the old man Qianji's temper has become extraordinarily weird in his later years.At the beginning, he would just tell Lin Sheng that he had a disgusting old body odor permeating his body, but as time passed, Lin Sheng noticed that the old man Qianji did emit a strange smell. But that smell is definitely not the smell that normal people emit when they get old, but an indescribable disgusting smell.

What happened afterwards told Lin Sheng the truth about the smell——the Gu worm.

In order to make himself immortal, the old man Qianji used himself as a Gu field, constantly cultivating various Gu insects in his body, and although those Gu insects delayed his life, they also completely destroyed Qianji with poison The old man is a human body.

Old Man Qianji kept decomposing in a sober way, but at the end of the ridiculous thing, what he cared most about was not the festering sores on his body, but the smell on his body.

He began to burn all kinds of spices day and night to cover up the rancid smell until the end.

Lin Maoping lay in the coffin, his heart beating faster little by little.

The more festered Old Man Qianji's body was, the stronger the smell would be, and in order to cover up the smell on his body, the stronger the spices would be used.And judging from the concentration of the aroma he smelled now, he doubted very much that the old man Qianji's current body might have reached the point where he could no longer hold on.

That's why he wanted to get Lin Mao's body so frantically... What happened hundreds of years ago began to reincarnate and reappear in a twisted way.

Lin Mao didn't know whether he should feel sad or ridiculous.

"Put it here."

The young eunuch spoke fearfully to his panting companions outside the coffin.

"The immortal will be able to finish his training in a few moments, and then he will come here to inspect the corpse." The eunuch obviously still had a conscience, and after a while, he ordered, "Remember to stay away later, it is best ...It's best not to attract the attention of the immortal."

Even though the other young eunuchs carrying the coffin were still out of breath, they stopped breathing for a moment when they heard this. Even though they didn't peek outside, Lin Mao seemed to be able to see that they had become pale as death at that moment. Face.

Not long after, Lin Mao heard the sounds of several young eunuchs hurrying back and forth outside the coffin, probably looking for the so-called "inconspicuous" position.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation in the arena, Lin Mao ventured to talk to Chang Xiaoqing about his previous speculation in a secret voice.

"...The old man Qianji is now at the end of his strength. As long as he doesn't eat my so-called immortal flesh and blood, you can fight with him. When the time comes, you should leave this ghost place first, or find a way to fight with him. It's good for the other party to take his time, but I'm afraid he won't last long."

Lin Mao finally gave an order in a very small voice.

But it was this seemingly impeccable order that caused Chang Xiaoqing to frown in the interlayer.

"Why is master so sure that old man Qianji can't get you?"

The anxiety that has been lingering in Chang Xiaoqing's heart since entering the coffin seems to have finally outlined a recognizable outline.

At the same time as he heard Lin Mao's instructions, the alarm bell in Chang Xiaoqing's heart suddenly rang loudly.

Lin Mao didn't expect Chang Xiaoqing to be so perceptive, and he couldn't think of any perfunctory words in an instant.

His silence made the veins on Chang Xiaoqing's forehead pop out from under the skin, and the ominous premonition swelled like never before.

"Master, you—"

Chang Xiaoqing was about to ask, but the sound from a distant place made him silence immediately.

someone is coming.

There was probably still some distance to go, but the voice was so soft that Chang Xiaoqing's hairs stood on end uncontrollably.

"Zizi-"

That wasn't the sound of footsteps that a normal person should have, but a special wet sound that can only be made when something sticky slides on the ground.

Chang Xiaoqing didn't know if Lin Mao had noticed the weirdness of the person coming, but his body responded before he could reason.

His zhenqi seemed to flow spontaneously, and his muscles tensed even more.Rather than saying that Chang Xiaoqing raised his defenses through thinking, it is better to say that his body itself is responding physiologically to the "people" who are getting closer.

What a disgusting feeling.

What Chang Xiaoqing didn't know was that at the same moment, Lin Mao and his mind had exactly the same words.
