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

【Yes, of course there is a way. 】

Lin Mao blinked his eyes in the coffin, and the voice overlapping with Old Man Qianji's strange and hoarse words seemed to come from another person.

He didn't know if it was because he was too nervous that he had such an illusion, or... it wasn't an illusion?

In a trance, Lin Mao only felt that there was really another person whispering softly in his ear.

An unstable atmosphere lingered in the darkness inside the coffin, and Lin Mao was keenly aware that it seemed that even Chang Xiaoqing in the interlayer was infected with this strange tension and panic.

At the same time, the old man Qianji outside the coffin and Gong Ningzi still did not stop talking.

"A solution? You're talking about...um...vomit..."

Not knowing exactly what he felt, Gong Ningzi's voice suddenly became sharp, and then Lin Mao heard him retching.

what happened?

When he was wondering, Gong Ningzi's intermittent moaning whispers came to Lin Mao's ears.

"...meat chrysalis... body? Is this your solution?"

After hearing the familiar words, Lin Mao's mind instantly went blank.

And at this moment, it seemed that a cold ghost came slowly from hundreds of years ago and fell on Lin Mao's body.

The hard and cold coffin board seemed to become soft in an instant—and a cold hand reached out from the bottom of the coffin and pulled Lin Mao hard.

Lin Mao felt as if his body was lightened, and then he fell down uncontrollably.

The noise of memory suddenly hit...

The blurry scene gradually became clear.

Lin Mao saw the old man Qianji.

It was not the extremely ugly old man Qianji now, nor the old man Qianji who looked hideous and terrifying in his memories, but the old man Qianji who had made this body deeply love many years ago.

He is an old man who is still immortal even though he is old.

At least on the face of it...

"Qianji? Where are you going?"

On a certain moonlit night, "Lin Sheng" woke up suddenly because of unknown palpitations, and opened his eyes, but what he saw was the sound of his lover in long robes and neat clothes walking out of the room.

"Well, there's something wrong with Dan's room, I'm going to check the fire, you go to bed first."

The old man standing at the door turned his head, looked at Lin Sheng and said softly.

The man suddenly had white hair, but the smile on his wrinkled face was reassuring as usual.

"it is good……"

Accompanied by vague murmurs, "Lin Sheng" went back to sleep.

He closed his eyes tightly, and heard the steps of old man Qianji gradually going away.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes again in the darkness, but this time, his pupils were exceptionally clear, far from being sleepy like in front of old man Qianji.

Even though decades had passed, his body, still as light as a young deer, slid down from the bed without a sound. Lin Sheng fastened the cuffs and trousers that were in the way with a hair rope, and there was only a solemn expression on his all-powerful face. Then, he Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door, and followed old man Qianji step by step into the darkness.

In the daytime, it looks like a courtyard full of lush vegetation and flowers, but at night it looks very gloomy.

"Lin Sheng" had a short pause before stepping into the back garden.

When did it start?Gradually, I noticed that the fishy smell in the air was so heavy...

Ah, it started after Old Man Qianji no longer had any skin-to-skin contact with him, right?In the beginning, I just found out that the person I love the most is getting more and more addicted to alchemy and pharmaceuticals, but after a certain oolong was stopped by a Jianghu young man who was old enough to be a grandson to propose a marriage, the originally unimpeded back garden was set up The formation does not require him to enter easily.

As for that young hero of the rivers and lakes... it seems that something happened after the oolong, right?His family found only blood-stained clothes, not even a body.

Later, from the old man Qianji's pharmacy, there would occasionally be frightening screams and roars.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I scared you? Recently, some ferocious beasts have been used in medicine, and the movement is inevitably a bit loud. I didn't think carefully."

Was that how the old man comforted Lin Sheng at that time?

After all, he is such a considerate and gentle lover, even though Lin Sheng hadn't appeared in front of people at the same time for a long time, but after he found that Lin Sheng reacted violently to those screams, he never let those beasts used for medicine make noises to disturb Lin again. born.

...Is that so?

It's just that no matter how thoughtful and meticulous a person is, there is no way to completely isolate the faint smell of blood in the air.

Day by day, the bloody smell became stronger and stronger and more stinky.

And the world has become extremely turbulent.

It is said that many people disappeared inexplicably, and many of them were known by Lin Sheng——

Among them were old and young, men and women, some were friends of Lin Sheng and Qianji for many years, and some were young friends they made during their last trip around the rivers and lakes.Without any grievances, without any clues, those names in memory became the protagonists of the rumored accident, and Lin Sheng couldn't tell where the panic in his heart came from.

From that time on, old man Qianji began to burn incense.

Agarwood, ambergris, cinnamon sticks, cloves...

The strong spices that were once snorted by the old man Qianji were burning in piles in the backyard, and the aroma rolled into clouds above the increasingly quiet courtyard.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Lin Sheng finally followed in the footsteps of old man Qianji and sneaked into the pharmacy that he hadn't visited for a long time.

Even the spices couldn't cover up the rising bloody smell.

The pharmacy was piled with motionless corpses.

They were bled, and the heavy pale corpses piled up into a small mountain.

The ground made of gold mud was soaked in human blood, and changed from a smooth and clear texture to a slightly sticky black.

Lin Sheng stared coldly at the situation in the room through the gap in the window.

Whether it's the piled up corpses or the limbs scattered all over the ground, his expression didn't change in any way, but...

"Tsk... died again."

Elder Qianji in the pharmacy stared at a pale body in front of his toes, and murmured hoarsely.

At first glance, the body was no different from the other corpses in the room, but after seeing the appearance of the body clearly, "Lin Sheng"'s pupils constricted instantly.

It was a body he was very familiar with.

Whether it's a handsome face or a strong physique, after getting along for so many years, "Lin Sheng" knows every detail of that body like the back of his hand.It's just that the body is familiar yet so strange at the same time, because the body is too young.

That was the appearance of old man Qianji decades ago, not yet relaxed, handsome and healthy.

Meat pupa body.

It was a special Gu that Old Man Qianji cultivated for himself.

"Why can't I always succeed?! Why?!"

Old Man Qianji grabbed his most cherished sword from the wall, and slashed at the body on the ground indiscriminately.

With great indignation, the body that was almost perfect except for being lifeless soon turned into messy corpses under his sword—how did those stumps and broken arms in the pharmacy come from, and now There is already an answer.

"It's too late, if I don't succeed, it will be too late... I must succeed, I must..."

Once the old man Qianji changed his composure in front of "Lin Sheng", he suddenly knelt down in a pool of blood, holding his head and muttering to himself continuously, as if he had fallen into madness.

"Flesh pupa body, why can't I make a perfect flesh pupa body no matter what? If this continues, what will my Lin Sheng do... Who will accompany him when I die? Who will protect him..."

"Lin Sheng" outside the window covered his mouth with his hands.

It was on that night that he finally realized that old man Qianji might have completely fallen into madness.

The shells he cultivated that are exactly the same as his are a kind of Gu called meat chrysalis.And this is the last resort of old man Qianji in order to be with the immortal Lin Sheng forever.

He killed countless people and performed countless experiments, just to allow himself to change into the perfect body of a pupae body, and re-transform into a younger and handsome man to know and stay with Lin Sheng.

But obviously, he failed.

And Lin Sheng knew why...

Before the body was chopped into pieces, it was staring at old man Qianji.

"Ho ho..."

It clearly has the same face as a human, but the voice from its throat is extraordinarily sharp and weird.And the gaze projected from the pair of upturned phoenix eyes is even more sharp as if it has been quenched by poison.

That fleshy chrysalis already had its own sanity.

Even if he doesn't know anything about the production of the meat pupae, Lin Sheng, who is just a bystander, can clearly point out this point.

……

The memory is constantly changing, Lin Mao opened his eyes wide, looking at himself in the past, and also at how the old man named Qianji many years ago went down the evil path step by step.

With a blank mind, the muddleheaded pupa body will soon rot and collapse, turning into stinky pieces of meat and pus.

However, the pupa body, which can maintain the perfect body mechanism, will quickly give birth to its own mind and soul after growing up - a perfect copy of the soul conceived in the body of Young Master Qianji, usually possessing no less Old man Yu Qianji is intelligent, intelligent, and even ruthless.

And their mastery and understanding of martial arts are even better than the old man Qianji himself because of the characteristics of being born as Gu.

If it weren't for the careful thought of the old man Qianji, he would always kill the other party quickly when the fleshy pupae's mind first awakened. I am afraid that he wouldn't have to wait until Lin Sheng discovered the clues of the old man Qianji, he would have already been killed by those fleshy pupae. Instead.

Everything in the past is so absurd, but it seems so natural.

"...so you ended up going crazy like that."

When Lin Mao heard what Gong Ningzi said, he almost thought that he said it himself.

Outside the coffin, Gong Ningzi became emotional because of the past she had spied.

"You actually forced him to eat himself?! Are you crazy?"

Inside the coffin that Gong Ningzi couldn't see, Lin Mao's face turned pale with the scene he remembered.

Yes, after repeated failures in the experiments on the fleshy pupa body, the old man Qianji's behavior became more and more strange.

Lin Mao thought that his attempt to eat himself in the end was the extreme of madness, but it was only at this time that he remembered that before that, Old Man Qianji had already done even crazier things.

Old Man Qianji once forced Lin Sheng to eat himself.

"...I just want to be with you forever and never be apart."

What did old man Qianji say at that time?It has become blurred and mottled in memory, not only because of the long time, but also because Lin Sheng cried too much because of fear and despair at that time.

Old Man Qianji cut open his body.

He obviously never cared about his lover's aging body, nor did he feel that those wrinkles and sagging skin were bad, but after Old Man Qianji cut his body in front of him, he felt incomparably shocked. Fear.

Black-red blood poured out of the skin sac, but at the same time, there were countless squirming eggs.

Gu worms are hatching.

The strong incense, the smell of blood, and the smell of insects fused together, almost converging into a real rope that clasped Lin Sheng's throat.

"I don't want...I don't want to..."

Lin Mao at this moment even began to feel sorry for the "Lin Sheng" hundreds of years ago who maintained an innocent heart under the protection of his lover.

At that time, Lin Sheng really thought that Old Man Qianji would die due to bleeding. He ignored the eggs, let alone ate any flesh and blood belonging to Old Man Qianji. Instead, when the latter was almost dead, he cut it open. With his own wrist, he sent the blood belonging to Konghua into the body of Old Man Qianji.

Under the effect of Konghua's blood, the wound on Old Man Qianji began to heal at an abnormal speed.

And he, who should have died like that, even healed after a few days - although the Gu worms in his body also benefited from the blood, they reproduced in the old man Qianji's body, and continued to kill Qianji The Old Man transforms from the inside into a more and more remote human existence.

how happy...

Lin Sheng was confused by the appearance shown by the old man Qianji.

He even thought that the old man Qianji was just in disorder for a while, and his blood could help Qianji to some extent.

After a period of time, he intermittently distributed his blood to Old Man Qianji.

"It's okay, you won't die, you still have me, I will share my blood with you..."

Lin Sheng even said so naively.

The old man Qianji who was lying on the bed looked at Lin Sheng, his eyes were so muddy, even after so many years, Lin Mao still felt that the eyes projected on "Lin Sheng" were so creepy.

As for why old man Qianji wanted to devour Lin Sheng in the end, the reason was so simple that it even made people want to laugh.

Old Man Qianji just had a nightmare.

"Those people will hurt you..." Fingers as dry as branches pinched Lin Sheng's face. Old Man Qianji's eyes were so focused and bright, "It's better to let those people bully you after I die , it's better to let me eat you completely... In this way, you can be with me forever, remember? We once agreed that we will never be separated in this life."

……

"You're disgusting..."

Gong Ningzi was talking to the old man Qianji.

He felt as if he was going crazy. Unlike Lin Mao's memory of staying out of the matter, Gong Ningzi spied on An Xi's incident because of his flesh and blood connection with Old Man Qianji.And that feeling, as if he had personally entered the body of the old man Qianji, and committed an irreversible atrocity to that young man who had exactly the same face as Lin Mao——

Intense anger and despair gathered in Gong Ningzi's heart, but the extreme joy that old man Qianji felt when he swallowed Lin Sheng's flesh and blood also infiltrated his soul like poison.

Under the strong stimulation, Gong Ningzi felt as if she had been torn in half by two invisible hands.

Is it lucky?

In any case, at the end of the matter, Old Man Qianji still failed to succeed.

When he almost completely devoured Lin Sheng, Yun Haisheng, a criminal monk from Lingkong Temple, broke in and rescued Lin Sheng.

But just when Gong Ningzi thought so, the hatred for Yun Haisheng burned in his soul like a poisonous fire.The intensity of that emotion caused people like Gong Ningzi to be in a trance for a long time before realizing that the deep resentment did not come from him, but from old man Qianji.

"vomit……"

Soon, Gong Ningzi retched because of what happened to old man Qianji many years ago.

So painful... so disgusting...

The pain as if even the internal organs had been crushed suddenly hit along with the old man Qianji's memories.

Yun Haisheng injured the old man Qianji.

To be correct, Yun Haisheng actually thought that he had killed old man Qianji.

After all, after breaking into that room and seeing the horrific situation in the room, no one could show mercy to such an old man.But at that time, Yun Haisheng certainly would not have imagined that old man Qianji had eaten Konghua's flesh and blood.

So with such a serious injury, he just couldn't move, but he wouldn't die.

Yes, he won't die, but at that time, old man Qianji wanted to die.

The internal organs flowed out from the wound in his abdomen. He lay on his back on the cold and sticky floor, feeling the Gu worms in his body wriggling back and forth in the gaps between the internal organs, muscles and skin. Konghua's blood had been repairing his body. body, but the amount he ingested was too little—so no matter how he repaired himself, he still couldn't resist the damage caused by the toxin of the Gu insect.

He smelled a stench, coming from his own body, but this time it was not an ordinary fester caused by Gu worms, but a rotten smell naturally produced by the human part of his own body after the body died.

He watched helplessly as the muscles on his arms turned into yellow water, and clearly heard the subtle sounds of the bugs crawling on the mouth and eyeballs.

He was clearly dead, but he was still alive.

This is... Immortality?

There are empty flowers in southern Xinjiang, and you can live long if you eat them.

But this longevity is completely different from what old man Qianji originally thought...

During those short but long days and nights, Elder Qianji felt his own death and his own rebirth at the same time.

The Gu worms that he kept inside his body were naturally carefully selected by him, each of which could theoretically help him heal wounds and rebuild his body.His body finally gradually appeared under the influence of Gu insects, but it was very ugly and disgusting.

As long as old man Qianji needed to take a look at himself, he couldn't help wishing that he would just die like this.However, he was unwilling to die like this.

Humans are probably such strange creatures, right?Obviously unwilling to die like this, but also unwilling to live like this.

But old man Qianji didn't think that lying on the ground rotting immobile like this was not the whole price he paid.

Just as he was trying to repair his body, there was an ominous rubbing sound from the pile of corpses that had begun to stink.

Only then did Old Man Qianji remember that behind the curtain, the most perfect pupa body he had ever refined was about to mature.

This is... the worst price he has paid for immortality in his long life.

The weak old man Qianji couldn't kill him before the chrysalis developed consciousness.

The rustling sound was the sound of that pale and fit body stepping out from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood step by step.

……

"So, I really hate Gu things."

When Gong Ningzi was tortured by the memory of the old man Qianji to the point of death, the old man Qianji sneered without changing his face.

"This is the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. That chrysalis body is so perfect—it's so perfect that it gave him both sanity and ambition."

"You killed so many people... Ph... Ph..." Gong Ningzi gasped heavily, mocking intermittently, "Using so many innocent people to make Gu... in the end... you did the same... ...was put into the Gu altar...Hahaha...Heaven's retribution...The cycle is not good...How, the feeling in the Gu altar...It's okay..."

Mentioning this matter, old man Qianji's blood red eyes were shrouded in a severe coldness.

Just like what Gong Ningzi said, that perfect and lucky pupa body came out when Old Man Qianji was at his weakest, and then he completely ignored Old Man Qianji's screams, he would have been like a puddle of mud The old man was locked in a small Gu altar.

"I, will, go, find, him."

This is the first sentence that the fleshy pupa body uttered.

Afterwards, Old Man Qianji fell into the darkest, longest and scariest nightmare unimaginable by anyone in this world.

Without nutrients, even the most perfect Gu worms can't make him regain his body.

But because of Konghua's blood, he will never be able to die completely.

The Gu altar that trapped him was tightly sealed and sent to Lingkong Temple.

For more than 100 years, no one has noticed the strangeness of this Gu altar, and no one will help Old Man Qianji open it.

"One year, two years, three years... Those bugs are constantly devouring themselves, until the end, even I don't know whether I am a bug or a human..." Old Man Qianji hissed strangely and only laughed .

If it wasn't for the abbot of this session of Lingkong Temple who was unsteady and observed subtle movements in the Gu altar while chanting scriptures in the side hall, I am afraid that the old man Qianji will continue to consume himself for hundreds of years until the end. Completely lose all memory and sanity.

However, the host of Lingkong Temple heard the voice of the old man Qianji and responded to him.

"You can really make those bald donkeys think that you are Moro..."

Gong Ningzi said with emotion in a low voice, if it wasn't for this fortuitous encounter, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to know the key to it anyway.

"You bewitched the abbot of Lingkong Temple with sweet words, let him kill monks to feed you, and turned you from a puddle of rotten flesh into what you are today... Then you even forced him to let you enter the capital, bewitched That idiot Yunhuang."

"That's right, it's been so many years... so many years... I'm just doing this one thing," said the old man Qianji softly, "I have to go to the capital, and I have to get the emperor, although he is indeed a little Stupid, but he's a great tool."

"Looking for Lin Mao's tools."

Gong Ningzi said through gritted teeth.

Old Man Qianji laughed loudly: "Of course... I love Lin Sheng so much. It's been almost 200 years. When I was swallowed, digested, and dissolved in the Gu altar, I I have been thinking about him, I swore, I will definitely find him..."

Gong Ningzi was in a complicated mood.

It should be said that Lin Mao is indeed an extremely lucky person. Konghua is supposed to be immortal, immortal, and beautiful.

But Lin Mao is an exception among exceptions.

When he was young, his face was disfigured and he lived in seclusion in Wangyou Valley, so that even a thoughtful person like Mr. Qianji didn't immediately realize that he was the Konghua that he had been looking for for a long time.

And Gong Ningzi remembered the many inexplicable actions of Chang Qing before he died, and finally felt a sense of enlightenment.

In fact, Chang Qing also felt it back then, someone is looking for Lin Mao's trace, right?That's why he spared no effort, even if he fell into betrayal, he would set up many mazes to confuse old man Qianji.

"The pupa body that trapped you back then was Xiaoyaozi from Wangyou Valley, right?"

If he hadn't seen the memory of the old man Qianji, I'm afraid Gong Ningzi wouldn't be able to figure out all the joints in it.

Of course Chang Qing knows the mystery of Konghua, and his source of information is that Xiaoyaozi——I am afraid that it is precisely because of the perfect copy of the old man Qianji that Xiaoyaozi turned out to be like the old man Qianji in his later years. So completely insane.

And it's not just his insanity that perfectly replicated Old Man Qianji.

And... the production of the meat pupa body.

Changqing is the pupa body that Xiaoyaozi made for himself.

"Actually, it's only a little bit close, and I'm about to be tricked by you."

Old Man Qianji suddenly spoke quietly.

"However, who told you that there were rumors of the elixir of life in Wangyou Valley? Xiaoyaozi and Changqing tried so hard to cover up the traces, but after all, I am also the one who has been looking for you for so many years... How could I be deceived just like that? What? Are you right, Lin Sheng... No, or should I call you Lin Mao?"

After the old man Qianji finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and suddenly pushed away the coffin lid that he hadn't been able to push away as if he was thinking about gains and losses.

Lin Mao's vision was bright.

After being silent for a while, Lin Mao slowly sat up from the coffin and looked at Old Man Qianji.

His face was bloodless and expressionless.

"You're still so smart."

Lin Mao stared blankly at the old man Qianji in front of him, and said softly.

In fact, at the moment when the coffin lid was pushed away, Lin Mao once thought about whether to turn on the magic lamp directly.

However, he still didn't do it in the end.

Lin Mao's eyes fell on the face of Gong Ningzi who was inlaid on the old man Qianji's body in a terrifying way, his eyes were heavy.

Although he didn't say it out loud, Lin Mao was quite sure that the old man Qianji had already arranged for Gong Ningzi to be inlaid on his chest.

This person who has lived for hundreds of years, and can no longer even be described as a human being, actually knew everything a long time ago.

Whether Lin Mao's hasty decision or Red Peony's hasty arrangement, it doesn't make any sense.

"Come this way, are you having a good time?"

Old Man Qianji looked directly at Lin Mao, and then said.

If he put aside his appearance and just listened to his tone of voice, Lin Mao almost felt that he was very gentle and kind.

"Your hobbies have become clumsy."

Lin Mao said coldly.

In fact, he should feel terrified or even flustered, but the strange thing is that at this moment, there is only darkness and loneliness in his heart.

As if somewhere deep in his heart, he had already predicted that such a thing would happen...

"The previous links were all playing tricks on us, right?"

Lin Mao asked.

Rather than saying that it was the gloom and sadness that the old man Qianji felt when he saw through the scheme, what really turned into a boulder and weighed on Lin Mao's heart at this moment was a strong self-loathing—why didn't he notice it at all?Those game-like links, using underground river water to transport coffins?There are no checks and guards along the way...

All the links from entering the imperial city to here are full of strong game meaning.

It's like a cat playing with a little mouse that can't escape in its paws before eating its prey.

It's just that no matter what, the cat is much cuter than the old man Qianji in front of him.

Old Man Qianji stared at Lin Mao with cloudy eyes.

"I finally saw you...my Lin Sheng..."

He stretched out his hand and pressed his chest - from just now, Gong Ningzi's expression was very wrong.

The calm and composed Palace Master Chizheng burst into ecstasy when he saw Lin Mao, but soon he realized his current embarrassment and misery. At this moment, he seemed to want to die instantly.

But this intense pain undoubtedly became the source of happiness for old man Qianji.

"Look, I brought your friends over to see you, are you still mad at me?"

The old man Qianji said.

His voice sounds so viscous, as if ten thousand worms crawled from your back.

Lin Mao felt a chill.

The more normal old man Qianji behaved, the more he felt his internal organs tightening.

"I'm not Lin Sheng."

Lin Mao gritted his teeth and said.

He actually wished that he could be more indifferent and colder, but after the voice came out, he realized that he seemed so weak when he spoke.

The ice in the coffin had completely melted.

The chill seemed to have penetrated into the bone marrow, Lin Mao clenched his teeth so that he would not tremble in front of the old man Qianji.

"You are Lin Sheng... I know you are, you are the little baby I brought out from the dense forest, my love, I will never be able to mistake you... and I will never be separated from you."

Old Man Qianji slowly raised a hand and stroked towards Lin Mao's cheek.

Lin Mao knew that he should dodge, in every sense he should do that, but he soon found that he couldn't move at all.
