Bai Ruolin was the only one who was so stimulated and even terrified and vomited blood because of seeing Lin Maozhi's face with his own eyes.
When Hong Mudan turned her head to look over, she happened to see Bai Ruolin tightly covering her mouth, trembling all over, with a distorted expression.Black and red gore trickled down his fingers, matched with his expression that seemed to have broken his soul, he still didn't have the appearance of a handsome young man a moment ago.
"I don't believe it, I don't think I will be deceived by you - everyone knows that Wangyougu Lin Mao is old and has disfigured himself many years ago. You say you are Lin Mao? How is it possible? Absolutely impossible !"
That Bai Ruolin spoke faster and faster, obviously no one responded to him, but he kept talking non-stop.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was more or less organized when speaking, Hong Mudan might not be able to help but feel that Bai Ruolin was already insane at this moment.
What's up with this?
At that moment, Hong Mudan couldn't help thinking when she looked at Bai Ruolin who looked like this.
But soon she figured out the key.
Until this moment, Bai Ruolin still did not believe that the person in front of him was Lin Mao, but in fact he probably had already realized that the person standing in front of him was indeed Lin Mao—different from Hong Mudan who was from Gong Ning. Zi knew all kinds of anecdotes about Lin Mao when he was young, but Bai Ruolin searched a lot of records and classics back then, and searched all over the world in order to better pretend to be Lin Mao in front of Gong Ningzi. The old man, just to make himself more similar to Lin Mao back then.
I'm afraid he was the same as Red Peony back then, right?Seeing those people boasting about the stunning beauty of the young Lin Mao with dazed expressions, I just thought it was just an exaggeration.
He even felt that that person was hiding under the protection of his master and senior brother back then, he was naive and stupid, and acted cowardly, far less smart than he is now.
If he didn't have that little bit of pride, how could he allow himself to be named "Bai Ruolin"?
However, at this moment, the name suddenly turned into a bone-deep shame.
"You're lying..."
Bai Ruolin's voice became weaker and weaker.
Even Lin Mao secretly felt that he seemed a little pitiful, so instead of talking to him, he turned to Hong Mudan: "I know that my appearance may easily make people hesitate, but my two disciples can prove that , I am indeed Lin Mao, the owner of Wangyou Valley."
After his words fell, Chang Xiaoqing also took off the mask.
With Ji Wuming and Chang Xiaoqing as guarantors, Lin Mao's identity is beyond doubt.
Hong Mudan felt emotional, and couldn't help but said: "So the rumor that there is an elixir in Wangyou Valley is actually true..."
That's why she witnessed Lin Mao in his prime here.
The shock is not insignificant.
If other people want to prove their identity in such a hasty manner, with Red Peony's suspicious nature, they will admit it, and they will definitely try their best to find the bottom many times in secret, so that they can admit the other party's identity with peace of mind.
But Lin Mao only showed his face, and Hong Mudan realized that the moment she saw him, she had confirmed from the bottom of her heart that the other party was indeed Wangyougu's once glamorous beauty Lin Mao.
Lin Mao himself was not deeply moved by the reaction of the two in front of him. After all, many years ago, similar situations had happened from time to time.
At this moment, what he really cares about is the Palace Master who has been trapped in the palace of Chizheng Mansion.
"I'm here in person, how could you guys bring out my dead body?" Lin Mao couldn't help but glance at Bai Ruolin again, "...it's no wonder you can only get a fake dead body here .”
Hearing these words, Bai Ruolin's whole body trembled, and even the muttering stopped abruptly.
(He knows—he must have heard what Red Peony said just now—)
In Bai Ruolin's heart, there was a voice screaming mournfully.
Lin Mao knew that he was in love with Gong Ningzi, and also knew what kind of thoughts he had in order to fake the corpse.
The more Bai Ruolin thought about it, the more desperate and painful he felt, his heart almost turned bloody from his chest.
He froze in place, unable to move, just waiting for Lin Mao's next cynicism and humiliation to completely engulf him, but he didn't expect that the words ringing in his ears were completely opposite to what he thought.
"Since that person wants to get my corpse so much, it's better to follow his wishes. Instead, I can pretend to be a corpse and sneak into the palace."
what? !
Bai Ruolin and Hong Mudan raised their heads together, looking at Lin Mao in disbelief.
"Master, no!"
Not only were the two of Chi Zhengfu very surprised at Lin Mao's proposal, but Chang Xiaoqing was completely unprepared, and said immediately with a sudden change in expression.
"This is too risky..."
Red Peony was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and said.
"There is nothing in this world where people can be easily rescued from the imperial city without taking risks."
Lin Mao said nonchalantly.
"Let's not say that Gong Ningzi and I used to be close friends, but that the people in the capital were all killed here because the man in the palace took away the essence with Gu. As a member of the martial arts world, I can't ignore it."
Lin Mao spoke slowly, word by word.
And what he didn't say, there is another sentence...
Perhaps in the dark, my immortal, human-like and non-human monster can be resurrected from the dead, it is God's arrangement, so that I can save the lives of people in the world under such circumstances.
But Lin Mao didn't say anything, but Hong Mudan, Chang Xiaoqing and others also realized something.
With Bai Ruolin's nasty behavior in front, Hong Mudan couldn't help but give Lin Mao an even higher look in her heart.
From her point of view, it was always Gong Ningzi who begged Lin Mao to fail, but now that Lin Mao was determined to rescue Gong Ningzi, it was enough to show that the friendship between the two was not limited to Gong Ningzi Wishful thinking.
"I know that Lin Guzhu took such risks for Gong Ningzi...and even for the safety of the people in this world. But this matter is too dangerous, and we should plan it carefully."
Red Peony Road.
It was precisely because of Lin Mao's behavior that she couldn't let Lin Mao be in danger.
When she talked about Old Man Qianji with Lin Mao before, she didn't know Lin Mao's identity, so she only vaguely mentioned Old Man Qianji's real name and Emperor Yun's current state.
At this time, seeing that Lin Mao was determined to pretend to be a dead body and enter the palace to save people, he didn't care about the other people in the room, so he could only bite the bullet and explain the identity of the monster-like old man Qianji more clearly.
"... That person has been able to live from more than 200 years ago, I am afraid that he is no longer a person now! He suddenly asked people to send your body to the palace, Lord Lin, no one knew who he was. What are you planning?"
As soon as Hong Mudan finished speaking, Lin Mao's expression changed suddenly.
"Old man Qianji?"
Lin Mao asked in disbelief.
Hong Mudan didn't think too much about it, but thought that it was because Lin Mao felt that the matter was too unbelievable, so she was so confused.
"It's absolutely true at this time. I definitely didn't make it up. I'm not going to hide it. If Gong Ningzi hadn't told it, he would be old man Qianji. I'm afraid I would never believe that someone can live to be a hundred years old." Thinking of it Gong Ningzi, Red Peony's expression was even more dignified: "I'm afraid people in the world may have misunderstood Gong Ningzi, only saying that he is famous for his resourcefulness, but I'm afraid few people know that he is the No. 1 martial artist in the government. None other than him. But even a person like him who is astonishingly talented and has been preparing for a long time, in the end he still worshiped that monster, which made us Chizheng Mansion so weak now, and Lin Guzhu..."
Red Peony swallowed the last half of the sentence dangerously.
But why can't Lin Mao hear her unfinished words?
Wangyougu Linmao was most famous in his life for nothing more than his youthful beauty and his cowardice and uselessness when he was older.
To put it bluntly, the only achievement that can be achieved is to rely on the apprentice's efforts to bring glory to his face.
It's just such a person who wanted to break into the imperial city regardless of the heights of the sky and face the monsters like the old man Qianji. It can only be said to be a fantasy.
Leaving aside what Hong Mudan was thinking, let's say that Lin Mao's two apprentices, Ji Wuming and Chang Xiaoqing, would never let Lin Mao take such a risk.
"Master, your body is so weak, even if you really have a smooth journey to the imperial city without any twists and turns, it's useless..."
Ji Wuming scratched his head, without any scruples, he said all the things that Hong Mudan didn't like to say.
He is different from Lin Mao and others. Anyway, he was also the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he actually has some confirmation in his heart about the level of Gong Ningzi's martial arts.
At this time, when I heard Hong Mudan say that Gong Ningzi was defeated in front of that old man Qianji, I could only keep talking, but I couldn't see Lin Mao's embarrassing expression after hearing his words... ...and Chang Xiaoqing's icy cold expression.
Unconsciously, Ji Wuming faced Chang Xiaoqing's sharp gaze, frowning, and kept paced in the room.
After a long while, he seemed to be thinking for a long time, but he still couldn't help but said again: "No, this is absolutely impossible--I was just thinking that the old man Qianji called for Master's body, which is to put it bluntly, Master's body. You are useful! For the present plan, the more he thinks you are useful, the more you have to try to avoid it, right? Otherwise, if he uses some medicinal food made from your body, Master, then his martial arts will be even better On the first floor, how can we ordinary people and little rangers have a good life?"
Lin Mao: "..."
Seeing Ji Wuming speak out what is in his heart without any scruples, he only felt a slight pain in his forehead.
"I disagree, Master, it's too risky."
As for Chang Xiaoqing, the objection given was much simpler and clearer.
"That's right, it's not only risky, but also meaningless."
Ji Wuming quickly followed Chang Xiaoqing and said.
Lin Mao sighed, glanced back and forth between Chang Xiaoqing and Ji Wuming's faces, and then spoke.
"Isn't there still you?"
Lin Mao said.
"What?"
Ji Wuming tapped his nose with his fingertips and asked stupidly.
Lin Mao smiled at him.
"That's right, I, Lin Mao, have never been good at martial arts, but everyone knows that my apprentice is a top-notch martial arts expert in the world. If you want to risk entering the palace as a teacher, of course the two of you should find a way to enter the palace together. If Encountering the scene of fighting with the old man Qianji, naturally you and your junior brother will fight against each other, right?"
Ji Wuming's eyes widened, and his whole face instantly distorted.
"Wait, wait, wait! Master, are you serious?"
Chang Xiaoqing: "..."
Seeing that Ji Wuming fell into extremely heavy troubles in an instant, the other people present in the room fell into a more dignified silence for a while.
Especially Lin Mao, at this time suddenly remembered all the incidents Ji Wuming had encountered in the martial arts league, and felt a little mixed in his heart.
Finally, after seeing Ji Wuming's distressed situation, Lin Mao finally gave up his thoughts of teasing him.
He slowly said: "Of course I know your scruples, but I have my own ideas."
There was a trace of solemnity in Lin Mao's eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at his body, with a sneer of sarcasm on his lips.
All kinds of things that have happened to him these past few days, on the contrary, reflect the tranquility of his life in the past few decades, which seems like a dream.
And even the incidents that had been hidden for hundreds of years suddenly broke out in just a few months, Lin Mao didn't think it was just a coincidence. "
Lin Mao's eyes finally stopped on Chang Xiaoqing's face.
Thousands of years old man Qianji, then Jiang Yingxue, then his Xiaoyaozi, and Chang Qing and Chang Xiaoqing...
Before this, no one could guess the connection between them.
But Lin Mao seemed to be able to feel that, somewhere in the dark, someone had always wanted him to find out the truth behind all this.
He could even assert that even if he hid himself this time because he was afraid of the so-called old man Qianji, in the end, someone would try to make him meet the old man Qianji.
"With you and Chang Xiaoqing by my side, even if I can't beat the old man Qianji, it shouldn't be a problem to protect me and retreat?"
Lin Mao said.
"What's more, I'm not that kind of reckless person. Since I want to sneak into the imperial city as a corpse, I naturally have other ways to deal with Old Man Qianji's ghostly tricks."
After his words fell, it felt like everyone's eyes were on him.
Lin Mao now turned to Hong Mudan: "It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Chi Zhengfu to come forward for this matter—"
Now, even Bai Ruolin, who had been curled up in the corner of the wall, not even daring to raise his head, asked abruptly, "What method?"
Lin Mao didn't take it seriously, and said quietly: "I need Chizheng Mansion to talk to Grandma Qiao from the Qiao family and buy something from her."
When Lin Mao mentioned the Qiao family, Hong Mudan couldn't help being stunned.
And when Lin Mao pointed out that he wanted to buy something, a rumor from many years ago quickly flashed through Hong Mudan's mind, and he suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Buy something? Buy something?"
Bai Ruolin's eyes were bloodshot, and he asked in a piercing voice.
Lin Mao took a short breath before saying that word.
"Extinguisher lamp."
He said.
"Exterminator? What's that?"
Different from Red Peony's pensiveness, Bai Ruolin, Ji Wuming and the others all had puzzled looks on their faces.
Only Lin Mao, after calling out this name after many years, still felt his heart beating like a pounding, and cold sweat broke out slightly behind his back.
Exterminator...
Many years ago, people in the Jianghu finally realized the appalling killing method of Xiaoyaozi in Wangyougu, and gathered all the sects to rush to Wangyougu Xingshi in a fierce manner to inquire about his crimes, but they were defeated repeatedly. This kind of secret method makes it impossible to survive or die.
And the reason why Xiaoyaozi died in such a desolate way in the end, in the final analysis, was because he was injured by the secret treasure of the Qiao family during a certain fight.
The wound was quite fatal, and it directly caused the other people in Wangyou Valley to come here after smelling the blood. Taking advantage of Xiaoyaozi's serious injury, they all shot together, and finally completely killed Xiaoyaozi in Wangyou Valley.
And the secret treasure of the Qiao family that killed Xiaoyaozi is called the magic lamp.
Lin Mao also knew that to this day, he might be the only one who was lucky enough to witness the scene of the extinguishing lamp burning and who can still live to this day... Lin Mao is the only one.
Even the Qiao family knew that such secret treasures were too frightening, so they completely erased the existence of the Extinguisher Lantern from then on, and never mentioned it in Jianghu again, for fear of attracting prying eyes.
It is said to be a lamp, but in fact it is more like an exquisitely crafted firearm.
The body is like a colored glass lamp, but when it is lit, countless white lights that can even melt pig iron into molten iron will suddenly burst out from the lamp.
Within three feet of the white light, even if the golden immortal descends to earth, it will be difficult for him to retreat completely.
With Xiaoyaozi's astonishing martial arts and Gu skills back then, he couldn't escape the blow of this demon-killing lamp in the end.
"The extinguishing lamp is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Qiao family. Only when the Chizheng family comes forward can we discuss with the Qiao family's aunt to get the lamp."
According to Lin Mao's idea, he could pretend to be a corpse and lie in the coffin.
There is an interlayer in the middle of the coffin, Chang Xiaoqing and Ji Wuming can both hide in the interlayer and enter the palace with Lin Mao.
Like this kind of corpses that have not been buried in the ground for a long time after death, generally speaking, four soul-fixing lamps should be lit on the shoulders and feet to avoid the danger of corpses.
And the magic lamp can be placed on Lin Mao's shoulder as a soul-fixing lamp. Once the old man Qianji opened the museum to check the corpse, Lin Mao would immediately light the lamp.
Even if that old man Qianji could escape the lights, he would definitely be seriously injured.
At this moment, Chang Xiaoqing and Ji Wuming could jump out immediately, strangled the evil Qianji old man thoroughly, and rescued Gong Ningzi without leaving any future troubles.
Lin Mao explained his thoughts to Hong Mudan and others in detail, but the details were not yet perfect, so he only left it to Hong Mudan and others to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.Then he pretended not to notice the torrent between Hong Mudan and Bai Ruolin, turned around and left Chizheng Mansion.
As for the lawsuit between Hong Mudan and Bai Ruolin after he left, he just didn't care about it.
His behavior seemed rather indifferent and mysterious, but no one knew about it.After leaving Chizheng Mansion and looking for a place to stay, Lin Mao collapsed completely limp in the room, his body trembling even more.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chang Xiaoqing sensed something was wrong, and suddenly hugged Lin Mao.
Lin Mao didn't care about the so-called respectability of the master and apprentice, and shrank into Chang Xiaoqing's arms, trembling uncontrollably.
"Old Man Qianji is still alive... So he was already in the capital... I've dreamed about him long ago..."
Lin Mao murmured in a trance.
Originally, he didn't want to show this fragile state in front of Chang Xiaoqing, but he has been tense for many days, and now he can no longer hide it.
He hid in Chang Xiaoqing's arms like this, and told Xiaoqing all the unexplained dreams that had troubled him for many days.
After finishing speaking, Lin Mao's face was completely drained of blood, and he looked weaker and weaker.
"Xiaoqing, I don't know who that person is, let alone what he wants me to do..."
Lin Mao said hoarsely, looking at Chang Xiaoqing with confusion.
"Whether it's Lin Sheng or Jiang Yingxue, I don't think it has anything to do with me, but in fact, they are me, and I am them. Old man Qianji... at the beginning was almost eating Lin Sheng alive ...He wants my body now, presumably it's just to resume his way of immortality..."
Lin Mao was worried about Hong Mudan and Bai Ruolin when he was in charge of the government, so he forcibly maintained his superficial calm after hearing the name of Old Man Qianji.
But he was very afraid of old man Qianji, the more he thought about it on the way back, the more terrifying he felt, at this moment he lost his composure in front of Chang Xiaoqing.
"Don't be afraid, Master still has me."
Chang Xiaoqing hugged Lin Mao tightly, and whispered softly in the latter's ear.
"In this case, why did Master make such a risky plan..."
He still tried to dispel Lin Mao's idea of entering the palace, but the result was not as he wished.
"If I didn't know that he is the old man Qianji, I'm afraid I wouldn't think of a way to enter the palace."
Lin Mao said hoarsely, judging from his body's reaction, he has calmed down a lot.
"After all, my martial arts are so weak, even if I enter the palace, I will only cause trouble for you. However, since that person is Qianji, I have to enter the palace in person no matter what. Even though it sounds ridiculous, but But I intuit that the matter of Konghua Konghua started because of him, and I'm afraid it will end because of him..."
Lin Mao suddenly raised his head and looked at Chang Xiaoqing fixedly.
"Xiaoqing, in fact, these days, I have a faint feeling."
"What do you feel?"
Chang Xiaoqing asked.
"Your existence is also due to me..."
And Senior Brother Chang, and Master Xiaoyaozi...
These people stand on the other side of time and death, but their very existence has connected Lin Mao with the clump of empty flowers more than 200 years ago.
In the process of speaking, Lin Mao's face became paler and paler.
"Xiaoqing, you might hate me."
Lin Mao said.
Chang Xiaoqing seemed very confused: "Why do you say that? Master should know that no matter what I do, it is impossible for me to hate Master."
"Maybe you will die." Lin Mao said quietly, "Red Peony also said that even Gong Ningzi couldn't walk in front of that person once, but I still couldn't help pulling you to accompany me Take a risk, if you really die..."
Chang Xiaoqing's hand paused in mid-air, and after hesitating for a moment, it slowly landed on Lin Mao's shoulder.
"Master," he called softly, "I came to this world because of Master. If one day I can die because of Master, that would be the luckiest thing in my life."
When Hong Mudan turned her head to look over, she happened to see Bai Ruolin tightly covering her mouth, trembling all over, with a distorted expression.Black and red gore trickled down his fingers, matched with his expression that seemed to have broken his soul, he still didn't have the appearance of a handsome young man a moment ago.
"I don't believe it, I don't think I will be deceived by you - everyone knows that Wangyougu Lin Mao is old and has disfigured himself many years ago. You say you are Lin Mao? How is it possible? Absolutely impossible !"
That Bai Ruolin spoke faster and faster, obviously no one responded to him, but he kept talking non-stop.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was more or less organized when speaking, Hong Mudan might not be able to help but feel that Bai Ruolin was already insane at this moment.

Especially Lin Mao, at this time suddenly remembered all the incidents Ji Wuming had encountered in the martial arts league, and felt a little mixed in his heart.
Finally, after seeing Ji Wuming's distressed situation, Lin Mao finally gave up his thoughts of teasing him.
He slowly said: "Of course I know your scruples, but I have my own ideas."
There was a trace of solemnity in Lin Mao's eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at his body, with a sneer of sarcasm on his lips.
All kinds of things that have happened to him these past few days, on the contrary, reflect the tranquility of his life in the past few decades, which seems like a dream.
And even the incidents that had been hidden for hundreds of years suddenly broke out in just a few months, Lin Mao didn't think it was just a coincidence. "
Lin Mao's eyes finally stopped on Chang Xiaoqing's face.
Thousands of years old man Qianji, then Jiang Yingxue, then his Xiaoyaozi, and Chang Qing and Chang Xiaoqing...
Before this, no one could guess the connection between them.
But Lin Mao seemed to be able to feel that, somewhere in the dark, someone had always wanted him to find out the truth behind all this.
He could even assert that even if he hid himself this time because he was afraid of the so-called old man Qianji, in the end, someone would try to make him meet the old man Qianji.
"With you and Chang Xiaoqing by my side, even if I can't beat the old man Qianji, it shouldn't be a problem to protect me and retreat?"
Lin Mao said.
"What's more, I'm not that kind of reckless person. Since I want to sneak into the imperial city as a corpse, I naturally have other ways to deal with Old Man Qianji's ghostly tricks."
After his words fell, it felt like everyone's eyes were on him.
Lin Mao now turned to Hong Mudan: "It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Chi Zhengfu to come forward for this matter—"
Now, even Bai Ruolin, who had been curled up in the corner of the wall, not even daring to raise his head, asked abruptly, "What method?"
Lin Mao didn't take it seriously, and said quietly: "I need Chizheng Mansion to talk to Grandma Qiao from the Qiao family and buy something from her."
When Lin Mao mentioned the Qiao family, Hong Mudan couldn't help being stunned.
And when Lin Mao pointed out that he wanted to buy something, a rumor from many years ago quickly flashed through Hong Mudan's mind, and he suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Buy something? Buy something?"
Bai Ruolin's eyes were bloodshot, and he asked in a piercing voice.
Lin Mao took a short breath before saying that word.
"Extinguisher lamp."
He said.
"Exterminator? What's that?"
Different from Red Peony's pensiveness, Bai Ruolin, Ji Wuming and the others all had puzzled looks on their faces.
Only Lin Mao, after calling out this name after many years, still felt his heart beating like a pounding, and cold sweat broke out slightly behind his back.
Exterminator...
Many years ago, people in the Jianghu finally realized the appalling killing method of Xiaoyaozi in Wangyougu, and gathered all the sects to rush to Wangyougu Xingshi in a fierce manner to inquire about his crimes, but they were defeated repeatedly. This kind of secret method makes it impossible to survive or die.
And the reason why Xiaoyaozi died in such a desolate way in the end, in the final analysis, was because he was injured by the secret treasure of the Qiao family during a certain fight.
The wound was quite fatal, and it directly caused the other people in Wangyou Valley to come here after smelling the blood. Taking advantage of Xiaoyaozi's serious injury, they all shot together, and finally completely killed Xiaoyaozi in Wangyou Valley.
And the secret treasure of the Qiao family that killed Xiaoyaozi is called the magic lamp.
Lin Mao also knew that to this day, he might be the only one who was lucky enough to witness the scene of the extinguishing lamp burning and who can still live to this day... Lin Mao is the only one.
Even the Qiao family knew that such secret treasures were too frightening, so they completely erased the existence of the Extinguisher Lantern from then on, and never mentioned it in Jianghu again, for fear of attracting prying eyes.
It is said to be a lamp, but in fact it is more like an exquisitely crafted firearm.
The body is like a colored glass lamp, but when it is lit, countless white lights that can even melt pig iron into molten iron will suddenly burst out from the lamp.
Within three feet of the white light, even if the golden immortal descends to earth, it will be difficult for him to retreat completely.
With Xiaoyaozi's astonishing martial arts and Gu skills back then, he couldn't escape the blow of this demon-killing lamp in the end.
"The extinguishing lamp is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Qiao family. Only when the Chizheng family comes forward can we discuss with the Qiao family's aunt to get the lamp."
According to Lin Mao's idea, he could pretend to be a corpse and lie in the coffin.
There is an interlayer in the middle of the coffin, Chang Xiaoqing and Ji Wuming can both hide in the interlayer and enter the palace with Lin Mao.
Like this kind of corpses that have not been buried in the ground for a long time after death, generally speaking, four soul-fixing lamps should be lit on the shoulders and feet to avoid the danger of corpses.
And the magic lamp can be placed on Lin Mao's shoulder as a soul-fixing lamp. Once the old man Qianji opened the museum to check the corpse, Lin Mao would immediately light the lamp.
Even if that old man Qianji could escape the lights, he would definitely be seriously injured.
At this moment, Chang Xiaoqing and Ji Wuming could jump out immediately, strangled the evil Qianji old man thoroughly, and rescued Gong Ningzi without leaving any future troubles.
Lin Mao explained his thoughts to Hong Mudan and others in detail, but the details were not yet perfect, so he only left it to Hong Mudan and others to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.Then he pretended not to notice the torrent between Hong Mudan and Bai Ruolin, turned around and left Chizheng Mansion.
As for the lawsuit between Hong Mudan and Bai Ruolin after he left, he just didn't care about it.
His behavior seemed rather indifferent and mysterious, but no one knew about it.After leaving Chizheng Mansion and looking for a place to stay, Lin Mao collapsed completely limp in the room, his body trembling even more.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chang Xiaoqing sensed something was wrong, and suddenly hugged Lin Mao.
Lin Mao didn't care about the so-called respectability of the master and apprentice, and shrank into Chang Xiaoqing's arms, trembling uncontrollably.
"Old Man Qianji is still alive... So he was already in the capital... I've dreamed about him long ago..."
Lin Mao murmured in a trance.
Originally, he didn't want to show this fragile state in front of Chang Xiaoqing, but he has been tense for many days, and now he can no longer hide it.
He hid in Chang Xiaoqing's arms like this, and told Xiaoqing all the unexplained dreams that had troubled him for many days.
After finishing speaking, Lin Mao's face was completely drained of blood, and he looked weaker and weaker.
"Xiaoqing, I don't know who that person is, let alone what he wants me to do..."
Lin Mao said hoarsely, looking at Chang Xiaoqing with confusion.
"Whether it's Lin Sheng or Jiang Yingxue, I don't think it has anything to do with me, but in fact, they are me, and I am them. Old man Qianji... at the beginning was almost eating Lin Sheng alive ...He wants my body now, presumably it's just to resume his way of immortality..."
Lin Mao was worried about Hong Mudan and Bai Ruolin when he was in charge of the government, so he forcibly maintained his superficial calm after hearing the name of Old Man Qianji.
But he was very afraid of old man Qianji, the more he thought about it on the way back, the more terrifying he felt, at this moment he lost his composure in front of Chang Xiaoqing.
"Don't be afraid, Master still has me."
Chang Xiaoqing hugged Lin Mao tightly, and whispered softly in the latter's ear.
"In this case, why did Master make such a risky plan..."
He still tried to dispel Lin Mao's idea of entering the palace, but the result was not as he wished.
"If I didn't know that he is the old man Qianji, I'm afraid I wouldn't think of a way to enter the palace."
Lin Mao said hoarsely, judging from his body's reaction, he has calmed down a lot.
"After all, my martial arts are so weak, even if I enter the palace, I will only cause trouble for you. However, since that person is Qianji, I have to enter the palace in person no matter what. Even though it sounds ridiculous, but But I intuit that the matter of Konghua Konghua started because of him, and I'm afraid it will end because of him..."
Lin Mao suddenly raised his head and looked at Chang Xiaoqing fixedly.
"Xiaoqing, in fact, these days, I have a faint feeling."
"What do you feel?"
Chang Xiaoqing asked.
"Your existence is also due to me..."
And Senior Brother Chang, and Master Xiaoyaozi...
These people stand on the other side of time and death, but their very existence has connected Lin Mao with the clump of empty flowers more than 200 years ago.
In the process of speaking, Lin Mao's face became paler and paler.
"Xiaoqing, you might hate me."
Lin Mao said.
Chang Xiaoqing seemed very confused: "Why do you say that? Master should know that no matter what I do, it is impossible for me to hate Master."
"Maybe you will die." Lin Mao said quietly, "Red Peony also said that even Gong Ningzi couldn't walk in front of that person once, but I still couldn't help pulling you to accompany me Take a risk, if you really die..."
Chang Xiaoqing's hand paused in mid-air, and after hesitating for a moment, it slowly landed on Lin Mao's shoulder.
"Master," he called softly, "I came to this world because of Master. If one day I can die because of Master, that would be the luckiest thing in my life."
