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

Lin Mao knew that he should speak directly, and asked Chang Xiaoqing exactly how the traces of the Thirteen Hands of Qiankun Wuding on the skeleton came from.It was as if he had always trusted Chang Xiaoqing so much for many years, and it should be the same this time.

But, inexplicably... He hesitated to speak again and again, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to ask the question, as if there was a voice deep in his heart that kept stopping him.

After that, the bone-chilling wind blew non-stop for several days.

The small building was creaked and swayed by the wind, and it seemed that the cold wind would blow it away in the next second.

Fortunately, when Chang Qing built the small building, it was the time when he and Lin Mao had a deep affection, not to mention the best craftsman Lu Jiaban at that time, and the purple bamboo used for the construction of the small building is known as sixty years old. It cracks, and there is a sound of gold and stone when it is struck, it is a unique treasure in the world.Under the ravages of such strong winds, although the small building looked crumbling, it was actually very strong, and finally survived, sheltering the three of them through the severe cold.

It's just that, Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing were trapped in the small building, and had to face Liu day and night with nothing else to do. On the contrary, Chang Xiaoqing learned more than half of that inch bone skill: even if he is I can't shrink my body like a child from the poisonous sect in southern Xinjiang, but I can still shrink my shoulders, chest, etc. to half the original width with a few cracking sounds, so that there is no obstacle to pass through the ice cave up.

"When the wind stops, you can go down the mountain."

When Chang Xiaoqing tried a few more times and confirmed that he could indeed use the Inch Bone Kung Fu proficiently, he turned his head and said this to Lin Mao.

"Um……"

When Lin Mao heard this, he raised his face and forced a smile.

After that, there was a moment of silence in the small building.

Chang Xiaoqing stared deeply at Lin Mao, but didn't make a sound.

These days, Chang Xiaoqing's inch-bone skills have finally made progress. Lin Mao should be happy, but the fact is just the opposite. Lin Mao became more and more silent—he couldn't help observing his beloved little apprentice in countless gaps. s face.

Lin Mao didn't know if it was his own illusion, but the more he observed, the more he felt that Chang Xiaoqing seemed to be becoming more and more strange when he didn't know it.On the surface, Chang Xiaoqing's hair turned white and his face was thin and tired, but if you look closely, you will find that there are more and more things in his eyes that confuse Lin Mao.

If Chang Xiaoqing's black pupils in the past were like deep springs frozen into ice, now Chang Xiaoqing's eyes are filled with black quagmire that has engulfed countless flesh and blood creatures.Those dark and bloody auras are always covered up very well, and the slightest bit that leaks out occasionally will be quickly covered up by Chang Xiaoqing.

If it weren't for Lin Mao's own strangeness, I'm afraid that until this time, he would still feel that Chang Xiaoqing is no different from the past-and it is this kind of cognition that makes Lin Mao's heart rise uncontrollably and become more and more intense. uneasy.

Lin Mao is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions. Soon, Chang Xiaoqing seemed to have noticed something from Lin Mao's actions—Lin Mao was even prepared, waiting for Chang Xiaoqing to be straightforward, and even to be able to Said it was impolite to ask him what happened.In Lin Mao's memory, such a straightforward approach is Chang Xiaoqing's style.But what made Lin Mao feel more and more restless was that until the end, Chang Xiaoqing didn't ask Lin Mao anything.

All of a sudden, in the cold and dark room, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging between Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing, and all the disturbing thoughts were invisible and covered layer by layer, gradually making it difficult for Lin Mao to even breathe. became difficult.However, Chang Xiaoqing was still silent, gentle and considerate, as always.It's just that the aura on his body became gloomy like that of Lin Mao.

The atmosphere inside and outside the small building was equally bleak and dignified, except that Yao Xiaohua had connected several pieces of high-quality fur for sheltering from the cold, like a silly country girl, still laughing and laughing all day long and circling around Lin Mao to please him, Finally, it made Xiaolou a little angry.

Ten days later, the wind finally stopped.

The white snow outside the small building has reached the waist, and the dead trees were all fallen by the wind before. Looking at it suddenly, I only feel that there is nothing else in the world and the wilderness.

Lin Mao lifted the fur of the window and looked out, then suddenly said something out of nowhere.

"I, want to go to the small courtyard to have a look."

"what?"

Chang Xiaoqing was about to go out at this time. Judging from the equipment on his body, he was planning to go hunting at this time.Hearing Lin Mao's words, he frowned. ,

"I'm afraid that place has been buried by snow, why do you want to go, Master?

he asked softly.

Lin Mao was startled, and after a while he turned his eyes to look out of the window, and said slowly, "Well, something fell there."

As he said this seemingly calmly, he desperately searched for the drowsy memories of previous years in his mind.

At least... Make up an excuse that is at least superficially plausible, Lin Mao thought to himself.

"... Someone once gave me something." Lin Mao rubbed his cuffs unconsciously with his fingers, "He once promised me three requests, as long as I ask, as long as he can do anything in this world , he responded to everything. And that thing is the token.”

Chang Xiaoqing's eyes dimmed, and he said flatly: "The tone is quite loud, and it sounds a bit like that 'Sanying Scholar'."

Lin Mao's fingers twitched at his cuffs.

"Well, it's him... who promised me three requests."

When Chang Xiaoqing heard these words suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly. Even though he was as stern as him, he was shocked when he heard Lin Mao casually mentioning that person's name.

The Sanying scholar among these two people is not an ordinary person in the Jianghu—he is a powerful official with less than one person and more than ten thousand people, and the chief assistant of the court, Gong Ningzi.It is said that this person is the most stunning and stunning person in the world, with the talent of crouching dragon and phoenix, and the attitude of Song Yu and Pan An.Many years ago, the puppet monarchy was in power and the palace was unstable. In just ten years, there were signs of annihilation of the country.At that time, in order to avoid the false king, Prince Yun asked himself to be exiled to become a monk in Kuchan Temple. On the way to the mountain, he met a poor scholar.It is said that the scholar stopped in front of Prince Yun's car, laughed and promised three requests to Prince Yun.And as long as Prince Yun speaks, as long as he can do it, he will definitely do it.At that time, Prince Yun only met a madman on the road, but he couldn't help feeling anxious and angry, and asked the scholar three wishes - the first of these three wishes was to ask the false king to die quickly, and the second was to regain the country... But the third requirement, the world has no way of knowing.I only know that Gong Ningzi made the first two wishes easily in just a few years, but the third request was not fulfilled. In the court, Gan was the Prince Yun of the year, and was driven by the current Emperor Yun.Gong Ningzi's deeds were mysterious, and after it was spread to the market, he actually had the nickname "Scholar of Sanying".

Because of his early experience, Emperor Yun trusted Gong Ningzi very much, and even handed over the three hidden guards "Tingfeng", "Suiyun" and "Chasing the Moon" that should be in charge of the emperor to Gong Ningzi.Therefore, if there is anyone in this world who can really say that they can turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain, there is only one person, Gong Ningzi.

In this way, Gong Ningzi's keepsake can be regarded as unparalleled in the world and invaluable. If news really spreads to the martial arts world, it may cause a world-shattering bloody storm.

However, when Lin Mao talked about him at this time, his expression was very calm.

"...The token is made of black iron, so it shouldn't be destroyed in the fire. With it, it should be much easier to find traces of your senior brother and second senior brother after returning to the rivers and lakes."

Lin Mao said softly.

"Such a precious thing, why didn't Master tell me earlier?"

Chang Xiaoqing paused, and finally couldn't help asking.

Lin Mao sighed, avoiding Chang Xiaoqing's gaze, and said, "After all, it happened many years ago, and I don't know if he will admit it in the end."

Gong Ningzi——

Speaking of this name many years later, Lin Mao only felt that his already bored heart became more and more heavy.

Fortunately, with Gong Ningzi's token as a cover, Lin Mao's reason for going back to the small courtyard to get things was really justified.

It's just that the snow is too thick now, and Lin Mao can only be carried by Chang Xiaoqing when he wants to go back to the small courtyard——while Yao Xiaohua can only be poked, and honestly stays in the donkey with the gray donkey and the white donkey. In the shed, stay here in the small building.

I won’t mention how Chang Xiaoqing took Lin Mao across the mountain road back to the small courtyard by taking advantage of his light work. He only said that Lin Mao finally arrived at the place, but the small courtyard he saw was only half of the original ——It was still because of the heavy snow.The snow piled up where the ruins were, and the waist down was covered with white snow. If you were to find something, it would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, the reason why Lin Mao came to this place was not for the so-called token.According to his memory, he casually pointed to a place in the small courtyard, and instructed Chang Xiaoqing to dig a hole hard.

"But, what is the color, shape, and size of the token?" Chang Xiaoqing probably also noticed Lin Mao's perfunctory gesture, and couldn't help asking.

Lin Mao's eyes flickered, and he paused before answering: "The token... is an iron hairpin, the color is probably... rusted to black, one end is pointed, and the other is in the shape of a mandarin duck holding a lotus flower... ..."

"A mandarin duck holding a tangle of lotus flowers?"

Chang Xiaoqing suddenly interrupted Lin Mao's words, and pierced towards Lin Mao with sharp eyes like needles.

Lin Mao became more and more uncomfortable, and nodded numbly.

Chang Xiaoqing's face gradually darkened.When Lin Mao said this, he really remembered that he had indeed seen such an iron hairpin in Lin Mao's house - although it was made of black iron, the iron hairpin was really not high-quality.The fineness and forging techniques are extremely poor. I'm afraid it's not something from a jewelry shop, but someone in a blacksmith's shop secretly punched out the black iron stone used for forging swords and knives.

A few decades ago, when the world was precarious and people's lives were dying, this kind of iron hairpin was very popular for a while—no matter how rough or ugly the shape was, when it was first forged, the iron hairpin was polished back and forth evenly with the fine sand , looks more or less smooth and shiny, three points similar to that silver hairpin.Ordinary people's livelihood is difficult, and the little lady loves to be pretty, even if she has an iron hairpin, she is satisfied.Therefore, there is often a man who uses his forging knives to ask the blacksmith to give a hairpin to his beloved.

Chang Xiaoqing originally thought that someone else left the iron hairpin at Lin Mao's place.The reason why he thinks this way is because there is clearly a thin line of poetry cast on the inside of the iron hairpin - "I wish to be a lovebird in the sky, and a Lianli branch in the earth".

The handwriting with silver hooks and iron paintings, even if it falls on the poor and lowly iron hairpins, can make the iron hairpins have a bit of elegance for no reason.And judging from the verse, it is clear that the person who gave the hairpin was also leaving the iron hairpin as a token of affection for his beloved.

However, now that Chang Xiaoqing heard Lin Mao vaguely mentioning the iron hairpin, he discovered that the iron hairpin was actually something that Gong Ningzi had left for Lin Mao.

The author has something to say: Chang Xiaoqing said that she has a complicated heart and wants to kill people.

So angry~!
