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

The snow light is like silver, lightly reflected in the room where Gong Ningzi lives.

The moment Bai Ruolin stepped into the room, he couldn't help frowning because of the bitter cold in the room that was no different from the outside world.

He looked into the room, and saw that in such a cold weather, Gong Ningzi had opened all the windows in the room, and the cold air was pouring into the room wrapped in fine snow, and the earth dragon and silver silk charcoal on the ground were No matter how hot the fire is, there will be no heat left.

"Master?"

Bai Ruolin softly called Gong Ningzi, holding the plum blossom that was folded off earlier with both hands, stood still by the door, waiting for that person's call.

Gong Ningzi was sitting in front of the window, staring fixedly at the snow scene outside the window.

He was getting thinner now, wearing a cloth robe with a dark blue background, and his face was so pale that it made people tremble with fear.In the dark clothing, his neck and hands with collar and cuffs were exposed, just like the bones of the dead floating out of the black mud in the cemetery in the wilderness.

The crystal snowflakes that drifted into the room with the cold wind gently landed on Gong Ningzi's eyelashes and face, and then quietly condensed in place without even melting away.But even though the body has shown such obvious sickness, Gong Ningzi's spirit seems to be more vigorous than before.

Hearing Bai Ruolin's call, he didn't turn his head back, but waved his fingers slightly, which seemed to allow Bai Ruolin to approach.

The fragrance of pink plum blossoms in the small room became more intense. At this moment, Gong Ningzi finally turned his head sideways, and glanced at Bai Ruolin from the corner of his slender eyes.

"Well, plum blossom?"

Gong Ningzi asked with interest.

Bai Ruolin hid his face behind the bony plum branches, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a slightly nervous and peaceful smile.

"Didn't Master say that the barren well in the side yard should be filled in? A few days ago, I was ordered to take a look, but I saw this kind of pink plum beside the barren well. Although the color was weak, the fragrance was very clear and elegant, so I went to the barren well. I couldn't help but fold this plum blossom and send it to Master to have a look." While speaking, Bai Ruolin raised an eyebrow, looked around the study with a slight smile, and said, "I remember Master, you have a plum blossom in your room. An octagonal plum vase with a white background and blue and white? It’s just for plums..."

Talking about plum blossoms, Bai Ruolin's eyes fell on the table behind Gong Ningzi involuntarily.

There was a fine porcelain tea bowl with a small mouth. The pale golden tea had not yet cooled down, and there was a faint trace of white smoke floating on the tea, and a trace of bright red lip balm could be faintly seen on the edge of the tea bowl.

After Bai Ruolin saw the color of the lip balm clearly, his pupils shrank for a moment.

"Is it a coincidence that the disciple came? I didn't realize that you have a guest, Master..." Bai Ruolin collected himself, and after a moment's pause, he spoke again in a brisk tone, "Sister Hong probably knew that I was coming. , let’s avoid it before finishing the tea.”

Gong Ningzi reached out and took the plum blossom from Bai Ruolin's arms, put it in front of her eyes, and stared intently.

"If Peony knows that you said she was going to avoid you, I'm afraid you will suffer a little bit later."

He carefully stroked the delicate buds of the pink plum blossom with his fingers, and then said.In his hoarse voice, there was a hint of a smile that was not a smile.

Sure enough, upon hearing Gong Ningzi's words, the smile on Bai Ruolin's face could no longer be held back, and the perfect "good student" mask finally showed a crack for a split second.

The "Sister Hong" they were talking about was surnamed Hong and her name was Mudan. She was the Lord of the Qionghua Order and ranked second among the nine Lords of the Chizheng Mansion. Heroines.

Hong Mudan is greedy for drinks, lustful, bold and even better than Jianghu men, but he is such a casual person, but he loathes Bai Ruolin alone, even under the watchful eyes of everyone, he will not give Bai Ruolin the slightest sympathy. The rookie with the reputation of "Disciple of Ning Zi" looks a little bit nice.

There was even an incident where Bai Ruolin was discussing matters with Gong Ningzi in the room, when Hong Mudan walked to the door, her expression suddenly changed and she turned to leave.Others wondered why Hong Mudan left like this, but Hong Mudan knew that Bai Ruolin was by the window, but she wanted to speak loudly: "There is that stinky dog ​​shit in the room, I naturally have to avoid it quickly to avoid the stinky smell." yes."

It would be a lie to say that Bai Ruolin didn't care about Hong Mudan's attitude at all, but she got acquainted with Gong Ningzi in her early years and had a very high status in Chizheng's mansion, so Bai Ruolin had to bite the bullet and make friends with her at first.But Hong Mudan has a weird temper, no matter how cautious Bai Ruolin is, he often provokes her inexplicably.As the Lord of the Qionghua Order, her martial arts are naturally excellent. Bai Ruolin has never eaten less red peonies in the past few years, and it is hard to say much about it.It's just that at this moment, since Gong Ningzi so bluntly pointed out Bai Ruolin's embarrassment in front of Hong Mudan, it inevitably made Bai Ruolin a little embarrassed.

Of course, when Bai Ruolin was in front of Gong Ningzi, even if there was that uncontrollable embarrassment, the embarrassment was only for a short moment, and the next moment, I saw that sly and clever expression on his face again. laugh.

"I think she has already sued me a lot in front of the master - even if there is a leader in the future, I will not be wronged if I take the leader."

After all, ever since Gong Ningzi fell ill and Bai Ruolin was the director, the first thing he took care of was Qionghua Ling under Hong Mudan.

In front of the monstrous power of Chizhengfu, Hong Mudan has high martial arts skills and no matter how old her qualifications are, it is not difficult to find a way to punish her.

"Oh, you also know what you have done these days..."

Gong Ningzi finally raised his eyes and forgot Bai Ruolin's glance, and said leisurely.

And with just such a glance, Bai Ruolin felt his heart skip a beat.

Gong Ningzi didn't wait for Bai Ruolin to defend, and said, "Are you having fun? My good apprentice... Ruolin."

Like a small snake, a gust of cold air slowly crawled into Bai Ruolin's vest along the neckline.

"Master, I, I..."

While stammering and trying to piece together the words, Bai Ruolin's body had lost all strength involuntarily, and he knelt down beside Gong Ningzi.

"Shh-"

Gong Ningzi put his hand on his lips and made a silent gesture.

"Don't make such an appearance, timid, I don't like it." He blinked, and the snowflake that had condensed on his eyelashes fell slowly, "I'm just asking if you can have fun If you’re not happy, you don’t have to be scared like this.”

A hand like a dead branch stretched out to support Bai Ruolin's chin, forcing him to look up and meet Gong Ningzi's gaze.

"I……"

It was as if a dagger was slowly sliding into the inner side of the skin along the skin, and everything that Gong Ningzi looked at seemed to be cut open—the bright red blood, warm muscles and Bai Ruolin were hidden in the skin. The thought of not being able to see the sky under her mask seemed to be displayed in front of Gong Ningzi's eyes at this moment.

But at this moment, Gong Ningzi actually laughed sincerely.

"Oh... Seeing you, I feel really stupid."

Gong Ningzi said.

Bai Ruolin opened his eyes wide in horror, the cold began to seep into his veins.Sure enough, in the next second, he heard Gong Ningzi say casually: "I shouldn't have named you 'Ruo Lin', don't you think so?"

The blood on Bai Ruolin's face faded completely in an instant.

Is it known?Are all the things he did - all his thoughts - known?

At this moment, Bai Ruolin even thought of death.

his name……

That's right, he wasn't originally called "Ruo Lin".

He has been called "Lian'er" since he was a child. This is the name given to him by the "aunt" who thought he was good-looking since he was a child, so she had already planned to let him go out to entertain guests. This "Lian" The word, is taken from the meaning of "Pian Zhou Yang hand in hand, picking the lotus chamber together to face the turbid mash". It looks elegant, but the meaning inside is very unbearable.

It was Gong Ningzi who gave him a new name after rescuing him from that place.

Bai Ruolin was also ecstatic about his new name, until after a long time, he caught a glimpse of Gong Ningzi's unspeakable thoughts in the word "Ruolin".Since then, Bai Ruolin has been troubled day and night because of this, becoming mad with jealousy and hatred.Bai Ruolin thought that he hated this name deeply, but now that Gong Ningzi suddenly said such words, Bai Ruolin realized that just thinking of that person wanting to take back this name made him feel like dying of fear.

The so-called soul flying away is nothing more than that.

"Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

Unknowingly, Bai Ruolin's voice had a hint of crying.

Gong Ningzi leaned over slightly, and he stared at Bai Ruolin's pale cheek with a delicate gaze.

A faint fragrance of Jia Luo radiated from Gong Ningzi's body, and the cold snow light diffused in from the window. In the backlight, Gong Ningzi's face was cold and handsome, unlike the people in the world.

Under his gaze, Bai Ruolin was sweating and trembling all over.

Just when Bai Ruolin was about to lose his hold and begged for mercy when he told about throwing the iron hairpin into the dry well earlier, Gong Ningzi let him go abruptly.

The cold and sharp breath dissipated from Gong Ningzi like a hallucination.

When Bai Ruolin looked up again, what he saw was still the person he was madly in love with, that gentle, calm, wise good master.

"Ruolin, you have to remember," Gong Ningzi stretched out his hand, picked up a pink plum blossom bud, and gently crushed it into mud with his fingertips, "If I give you, you can take it, if I don't give it to you, you can take it." But you can't have it."

Bai Ruolin's thin shoulders that belonged to young people suddenly trembled at this sound.

The frightened young man with a pretty face buried his head deeply as if he did not dare to stare at each other with Gong Ningzi.

Gong Ningzi didn't know that Bai Ruolin's face hidden in the shadows quickly flashed a relaxed look of having escaped a catastrophe--obviously, Gong Ningzi didn't know about the Iron Chai Order, and there were other things. Issues.

Bai Ruolin thought happily.

Even he himself knew that if Gong Ningzi really knew about those things, then what awaited him would never be such an understatement of warning.

Gong Ningzi put his hand over his mouth and coughed hoarsely.

Amidst the cold air and the fragrance of plum blossoms, there is a faint smell of fishy sweetness.

"Master, please take care of your health."

After adjusting his emotions, when Bai Ruolin spoke again, there was no clue on his face.

Gong Ningzi ignored Bai Ruolin's concern, but turned her head and continued to look at the light gray sky and the increasingly dense snowflakes.

"You said, is he also on the road, looking at the snow that I can see?"

Gong Ningzi spoke softly, her eyes dim.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him say: "Send him to Beijing as soon as possible, Ruolin... I really miss him a little."

Bai Ruolin was startled.

He couldn't help raising his head, and quickly glanced at Gong Ningzi in surprise.

He naturally knew who Gong Ningzi was talking about, but what made people shudder was Gong Ningzi's tone when he mentioned that person, with such intense expectation and concern, as if Lin Mao, the owner of Wangyou Valley, was not a cold The dead body of Gong Ningzi, but the living lover that Gong Ningzi is about to enter.

A thin layer of goose bumps appeared on Bai Ruolin's back.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling...but...

But his master, the head of Chizheng Mansion, the Sanying Scholar with power over the government and the public, obviously had problems.

And when he thought of the body of "Lin Mao" escorted by the wobbling team that deliberately slowed down the journey under his orders, the lingering anxiety in Bai Ruolin's heart seemed to inflate a little more.

Shouldn't have been discovered.

he said to himself.

Lin Mao and Gong Ningzi hadn't seen each other for decades, and they died later because of a long illness—and that corpse was made by someone who used his power to order the masters in the martial arts to work hard to disguise it

No matter from which aspect, Gong Ningzi would not be able to see the flaws.

"The disciple knows."

Bai Ruolin heard his stiff response.

******

"Ah-"

Lin Mao suddenly sneezed.

"Master..."

Chang Xiaoqing immediately turned her head and spoke worriedly, but only had time to say the word "Master" before another brisk voice took the conversation away.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you stand aside? There's so much dust here, it's so choking, and if a small stone falls, it's easy to hit you!"

While talking, Yao Xiaohua stretched out her hand, pulled Lin Mao and took a step back.

Chang Xiaoqing glanced at him coldly, but didn't say anything more.

However, in the bright whale oil lamp in Yao Xiaohua's hand, the flame emitting a bright white light suddenly trembled in the windless space.

"Cough cough... cough... um..."

Behind Yao Xiaohua and Lin Mao, a pale young man with a bloody smell was thrown all over his face by the dust rolled up by an invisible force on the ground, and he couldn't help coughing immediately.

Where these four people are now is at the end of a slender and dark corridor.

This is also an exit to the outside world in Lin Mao's memory.

It's just that Lin Mao clearly remembered that this exit should have been set up in a villa under Changqing's name outside Jiaocheng City, and it was very hidden.

But when the four of them managed to get to the exit door, they found that the mechanism of the secret door at the exit was rusted and corroded for some reason, so that the secret door could not be opened smoothly.

In fact, it would not be difficult for Lin Mao to find another exit, but now that they have Zhang Qiong beside them, the time suddenly becomes a little tight—although Lin Mao and others stopped the bleeding and healed his wounds in the secret passage, But after all, Zhang Qiong was seriously injured. If she couldn't find a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, she might not be far from death.

Fortunately, among the four of them, Chang Xiaoqing's martial arts has recovered [-]% to [-]%, and he can use some brute force to smash the sliding button of the hidden door directly, so that people can escape from the secret passage.

"boom--"

There was a loud noise, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

The thick iron gate was not restrained by the zipline, and it fell straight forward with a thud. The loud noise immediately scared away many nearby birds.

Countless rustling noises and the neighing of crows and sparrows could be heard, and a ray of white light shot in from the open doorway.

Lin Mao squinted his eyes, and when his vision finally became clear from blur, he slowly walked towards the door.

"here……"

Seeing the scene outside the secret passage, Lin Mao's face changed slightly, and he murmured.
