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

As Lin Mao thought, Jiaocheng was still very chaotic.

Lin Mao walked all the way, and saw people coming and going on the narrow street. The fat horses that are rare in small towns crowded together with the skinny donkeys who were pulling goods, and the ground was full of horse dung and donkeys. The feces were trampled into mud again, and the smell was unbearable.

The people in Jiaocheng used to have a temper that boasted that they had a lot of knowledge towards other people, but when this temper encountered this group of martial arts people from different backgrounds, it turned into the unique cunning of ordinary people. and avoidance.Looking through the curtain, Lin Mao saw that the people walking up and down the street were all young men with weapons and bulging temples. Because they were attacked by snakes earlier, these people had unspeakable expressions on their faces. Vigilance and tension are obviously not easy to get along with.

Wearing a veiled hat, Lin Mao only picked up some secluded and narrow alleys and walked for a while, chasing several extremely hidden marks on the corner wall, and found a narrow and low residential building on a certain street In front of the small building.The small building was crooked, and it seemed that it was not collapsed because of the resistance of the houses on both sides. The paint on the beams and columns had all fallen off, revealing the dark wooden core inside. The door, but anyone who is a little fatter may have to turn sideways to squeeze in through the door. There is a cracked wooden sign next to the door, and the sign says "Laifu Pawn Shop", and even It is the handwriting that serves as a signboard, which has long been mottled and illegible.In addition to this so-called Laifu pawn shop, there is actually a puddle of foul-smelling sewage blocking the front of the door. Ordinary people may only think that the pawn shop has long since closed down after seeing the current situation of the pawn shop.

Lin Mao stopped at the door of the pawn shop, glanced left and right under the cover of the curtain, and saw that no one was paying attention to this place on both sides of the small street, so he stepped over the puddle of sewage and pushed away the greasy black paint. The lacquered wooden door, a dodge, got in.

"clang--"

As soon as the door opened, a copper hammer behind the door was involved. When the copper hammer lightly tapped on a small gong on a palm, it made a very dull and unpleasant sound. It was obviously used in an ordinary shop. "A guest is coming" in this dilapidated pawnshop, it is like the last crow of a dying crow before dying.

Lin Mao was startled by the voice, his shoulders trembled, and he looked inside the room, only to see a candle that was about to burn out standing by the wall. The flickering flame only made the room darker. The cabinet is also black. At first glance, it looks like countless coffin boards. In the middle of the room, a tall counter stands abruptly, and an extremely thin shadow stands motionless behind it. The dark coffin-like cabinet was no different from that zombie.

"What is this guest going to be?"

Seeing that Lin Mao had already stood still in front of the counter, the shadow opened his mouth slowly—the voice was as hoarse and ugly as that of "A guest is coming".

Lin Mao did not make a sound, but took out the iron hairpin from his arms, and slowly put it on the counter.

Suddenly a wrinkled hand like an ape stretched out from the counter, grasping the iron hairpin in the palm and grabbing it back.

Lin Mao didn't wait for the man to speak, and followed what the man taught him in his memory, and said, "I need fifty-two thousand taels of gold, three thousand seven eighty taels of silver, and twenty boxes of pearls for this iron hairpin. There are also twenty boxes of silk and satin."

The thin and skinny court official who stood at the cabinet heard what he said, but he just raised his eyebrows and said: "This kind of iron hairpin, even two cents of silver, is considered too much."

Lin Mao calmed down and said softly, "Why don't you take a closer look, the shopkeeper? This iron hairpin is extremely precious."

Then the old man frowned, stretched out his hand to touch the iron hairpin again, and when he touched a very small imprint on the pistil of the twig lotus at the end of the iron hairpin, his body trembled suddenly, his body immersed in the shadow The face lost all color in an instant.

"This... this... this iron hairpin... may I ask you, where did you get it?"

Lin Mao trembled when he heard the man speak, and subconsciously pressed down on the brim of his hat.

He collected himself, and said the words that he had rehearsed in his mind many times during the journey before: "Of course I got it from an elder who was very close to me. My elder just passed away not long ago, and he was born to him." As soon as he left, the three juniors who remained were plotted against, and his life was worse than death. Now he has the most beloved junior who was hurt by an old man's subordinates. In desperation, I can only take This iron hairpin order came out and was fulfilled."

When Lin Mao heard the words "Iron Hairpin Order", the old man couldn't hide his panic.

"Since your elder has passed away, this iron hairpin..."

"Before my elder passed away, he asked me to take this iron hairpin order, and said that if there was any difficulty, he would come here to honor it. He also told me that there should be a pair of iron hairpins... another iron hairpin Above, there should be a line of poetry," Lin Mao said slowly, but he smiled wryly in his heart, he is probably the only one in the world who calls himself an "elder".

"Life should come back, death should be longing... I don't know if these two sentences are right?"

When Lin Mao heard this sentence, he also matched it.The old man jumped out of the toilet immediately, but his figure was very agile.It was also the high cabinet and the shadow that concealed his figure, otherwise Lin Mao only needed to take a look at him to see that this man's martial arts belonged to the faction of the Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was already a rare master in the Jianghu.

The old man held the iron hairpin in his palm, turned out from behind the high cabinet, and bowed straight to Lin Mao.

"Seeing the order of the iron hairpin is like meeting the master of the Chizheng mansion. The young Ye Nian is the head of the twelve flags under the order of the fish and dragon of the Zhengfu—meet your son!"

Lin Mao turned slightly to avoid Ye Nian's kneeling.

The grievances and grudges between him and Gong Ningzi in the early years are hard to get rid of. If Chang Xiaoqing was not dying now, Lin Mao would not have taken out the iron hairpin anyway.Seeing Ye Nian's fearful and cautious appearance now, he was even more flustered, and really didn't want to have too much involvement with Chizheng's government.

However, Lin Mao didn't know that Ye Nian and other direct descendants of the Ye family, even though they ended up in the hands of the Chizheng Mansion and only served as such a small flag leader, the aura of this century-old family has never faded away. Normally, she would never show such a humble and respectful look to other people.

But there is a great reason for what he did today——

This Chizheng Mansion is in charge of martial arts, and there are many masters, but the internal hierarchy is very strict, and the governance is even more severe.After everyone enters the Chizheng Mansion, the first thing to do is to study and practice a book of secret rules in the Chizheng Mansion word by word.And this secret rule is the benchmark and standard of conduct for the entire Chizheng Mansion, but everyone in the Chizheng Mansion must never violate the secret rules in this life.

But it happened that such a secret rule, the first one opened, was written very strangely.

What the secret rule says is - "If the iron hairpin orders it, there will be no exceptions."That is to say, if the Tiechai order is met when the whole Chizheng government is acting, even if the owner of the Tiechai order conflicts with other regulations in the secret rules, the Tiechai order must take precedence.Next, he described the appearance and dark seal of the iron hairpin in detail, and at the same time set a secret word, which was exactly what Lin Mao said earlier, "When you are born, you will come back, and when you die, you will love each other". If it appears at the same time as the secret language, it can be said that the order of Tiechai came out.

In addition, if the iron hairpin orders the master to request, the whole government must do its best to drive it no matter the cost-ordinary people don't know it yet, but anyone who has dealt with this government can know Knowing how terrifying and monstrous power is represented behind this iron hairpin order.I must give an example: if the iron hairpin makes the Lord happy, even the big factions such as the Wulin League or the Bliss Palace can leave no traces in the Jianghu within three days.Fortunately, several decades have passed, and Chizheng Mansion has been entrenched in the world like an old tree, and the entire rivers and lakes are in the palm of one's hands, without any storms.But the iron hairpin order mentioned in the secret order has never appeared in this world.Over time, in the hearts of the people in Chizheng's mansion, they only felt that the iron hairpin order was like a legend, without any sense of reality.

But now that Ye Nian suddenly saw the rumored Tiechai order that could drive everyone in the whole faction of the Chizheng government, how could he not panic or panic?

Ye Nian was fighting between the two. Remembering how arrogant he was to this young master before, he was almost out of his wits, so he quickly invited Lin Mao into the inner room respectfully, and said earnestly: "I don't know what orders this young master has? As long as you say, young master, Little Ye Nian will definitely do it for you!"

When Lin Mao arrived at the inner room, he saw that the room was illuminated by night pearls everywhere, and the furniture and furnishings were all exquisite, which was quite different from the gloomy and gloomy outer room.He didn't take off his veil, didn't take his seat, but stood in a corner of the room, and said in a low voice: "...I just want to invite the monk Jiaruo from Lingkong Temple to go to my place, so that the place he accidentally hurt People are cured."

In the end, when he heard the word Lingkong Temple, the expression on Ye Nian's face, who had been full of flattery before and swore he could do anything for Lin Mao, froze, revealing an extremely ugly and strange look.

"Lingkong Temple...you mean, the person who hurt someone close to you is actually a monk from Lingkong Temple?"

"Exactly." Lin Mao nodded, and then added, "He said...his name is Jia Ruo."

Ye Nian's face collapsed in an instant. Although he wanted to force a smile in front of Lin Mao, the smile looked uglier than crying.

"This, this... this is... really troublesome."

The old man said very weakly.

The curtain in front of Lin Mao's face fluttered slightly.

"How do you say that?"

Lin Mao said.

With a mournful face, Ye Nian knelt down in front of Lin Mao again.

"Please forgive me, son. If there are other things, such as throwing away your head and shedding blood, you will definitely take care of it for you. But, but... Although the person from Lingkong Temple has been brought into the Chizheng mansion, he really has nothing to do with it." We guys are different."

"Different? Why is it different?"

Listening to the man's leisurely questioning, Ye Nian's words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak out.

He really didn't know how to explain to Lin Mao.

Not long ago, the master of Chizheng Mansion, their Lord Gong Ningzi Gong, who was under one person and over ten thousand in the imperial court, did not know why, he vomited blood in the room, and then became seriously ill and fell into a coma for a long time .

During this period, everything in the Chizheng Mansion and the court was managed by a disciple whom Gong Ningzi loved very much.

There are also similar things happening in other sects.After the head of a sect became seriously ill, the apprentice took over the affairs of the sect, which was more or less regarded as a training for the future power, so it was not surprising.

However, the situation is very delicate in the main residence - it turns out that there is only one disciple beside Gong Ningzi. This disciple is called "Bai Ruolin", but he was rescued by Gong Ningzi from the Land of Wind and Moon many years ago. He is a glamorous young man, and later had many scandalous anecdotes with Gong Ningzi.

In the past few years, although Bai Ruolin has been able to take charge of his own affairs under the guidance of Gong Ningzi, in the eyes of the old man of Chizheng Mansion, this young man is nothing more than a smarter male pamper and child molester.

Now that Gong Ningzi is seriously ill, a lowly person like Bai Ruolin is allowed to take charge of the Chizheng Mansion, and several high-ranking elders in the mansion are already very dissatisfied.But Bai Ruolin is also a disciple who was carefully taught by Gong Ningzi, and he has gained some influence in the Chizheng Mansion over the years.

Because of this, since Gong Ningzi vomited blood, the Chizheng Mansion has been divided into two even though the outside is still calm.
