Chapter 18 The hero gets darker and darker
Do you dare to give me lunch boxes for adding drama, you bastard! ?
Memorizing the protagonist's long and boring lines and taking the meager salary of a minor role. Isn't this exploitation of workers?
Out of selfishness, Shen Qingqiu raised his hand with all his strength and touched Luo Binghe's head. Luo Binghe, who had a stubborn look at first, was stunned, as if the anger that was faintly stirring had been extinguished by a handful of clear spring water.
Shen Qingqiu smiled and said: "But don't worry too much. If you can't become stronger, I will stay by your side to protect you."
If Luo Binghe really wanted to become the monstrous boss who dominated the three realms of immortals, demons and humans in the future, it would be better for him to remain such a pitiful little white flower. Shen Qingqiu would not mind keeping him by his side and taking care of him for the rest of his life.
His thoughts were so pure, but they would not make sense to others. Luo Binghe was completely stunned.
No one had ever made such a straightforward and ardent promise to him.
Even though the world is big, how many people can say, "You don't need to become strong. I'm here and I won't let you be bullied?"
And it wasn't just empty talk. Shen Qingqiu said he could do it, and he could do it. He had proved it with his actions several times. He would rather be seriously injured than let Luo Binghe suffer even the slightest harm.
Moreover, the love for his disciple in these words seemed too much. After the initial surge of warmth subsided slightly, a burning heat quickly climbed up Luo Binghe's face.
Shen Qingqiu coughed for a while, and painfully discovered that he couldn't cough up blood in his dream. He squeezed his arm and said, "Okay. Help me up first."
Luo Binghe felt no pain or itchiness at the place where his wrist was twisted, but suddenly a tingling sensation crept through him. He immediately realized that his mind had gone too far, and cursed himself in his heart, thinking about something irrelevant at this time, which was really disrespectful to his master. He quickly straightened his mind and did as he was told.
Suddenly, a voice suddenly rang out. The old man said "Huh", and said in surprise: "The boy was able to break through my barrier, it's not easy."
The sound seemed to come from the valley, with its own echo. And it lingered around the two of them, unable to tell where it came from. Shen Qingqiu was overjoyed: The boss of this level has finally appeared! This means that his friendly appearance is over and he can go home! Quick, quick, quick, boss, take the protagonist away!
Luo Binghe supported Shen Qingqiu without getting up, with a flash of alert in his eyes. The Nightmare Demon appeared when Shen Qingqiu was injured, which was a very unfavorable situation. He made up his mind that if the Nightmare Demon wanted to kill him, even if his power was weak, he would do his best to hold him back and try to buy a glimmer of life for his master.
He made this decision in just a moment, and the voice said again: "Come here, let me see what kind of young hero has such ability."
Luo Binghe looked at Shen Qingqiu. A disciple should not make decisions without the master's permission. Shen Qingqiu was in a good mood and wanted to tease him: "I'm asking you, a young hero, to answer a question?"
Luo Binghe blushed, turned around and said loudly: "Breaking the barrier of the predecessors is entirely due to the power of my master. I dare not be called a young hero."
The voice snorted, seeming to be quite disdainful.
Shen Qingqiu knew why he snorted. This was Luo Binghe's dream, and he could only rely on his own strength. Although he blocked an attack for Luo Binghe, in the end, he still had to rely on Luo Binghe to quickly regain consciousness in order to break the barrier.
But Shen Qingqiu was too lazy to explain. He was very familiar with what would happen next. He asked, "Are you the Dream Demon Senior?"
The voice said, "I asked you to come here, but I don't want this ordinary cultivator from the Cangqiong Mountain Sect to come here as well. Let him take a nap first."
Sure enough, the situation was exactly the same as in the original work when Ning Yingying was present. Everyone except Luo Binghe would be repelled by the nightmare demon.
Shen Qingqiu had a headache and fell down heavily.
Luo Binghe was shocked, and hurriedly supported him, calling out: "Master?"
The Dream Demon said: "Don't worry. I just sent him into a dream within a dream, and he slept even more deeply. You, come here quickly!" This time, one could hear that the voice came from a dark cave in the west.
Luo Binghe was unable to wake Shen Qingqiu, so he laid him gently on the ground, turned to the source of the voice and said, "My master calls you a senior, so I must treat you with courtesy. I hope you will not embarrass my master."
The Nightmare laughed and said, "Boy, I've read your memories. Your master wasn't very kind to you. Why didn't you just let me get rid of him? I'm helping you."
Most of what he read were memories of the original Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe getting along with each other. Those memories did indeed make up the majority...
Luo Binghe shook his head: "Master is not what you think. After all, Master is still Master. He can treat me however he wants, but as a disciple, I cannot be disrespectful."
If Shen Qingqiu could still hear it at this time, he would roar in his heart: Luo Ge, I hope you can remember what you said when you turn evil in the future!
The dream demon snorted, "Pedant! The righteous people in the human world are all so hypocritical. No matter if he is a teacher or not, or respected or not. Anyone who bullies or harms me should be killed! He knew that your cultivation was not enough to deal with the Heavenly Hammer, but he still sent you to fight. What is his intention? Don't you understand?"
Luo Binghe said calmly: "At that time, even I didn't believe that I could win. But Master believed in me and not only gave me a chance, but also encouraged me during the competition. In the end, I did win."
There was another sentence, which he only said silently to himself in his heart: Master saved me and blocked two attacks for me. He treated me with sincerity.
Meng Mo just watched some clips randomly. He didn't know Shen Qingqiu as a person, and didn't want to dwell on this issue too much. But he was very satisfied with Luo Binghe's attitude: "Boy, you are a man who values friendship and loyalty."
Luo Binghe said: "Not even close to what Master has done to me."
If the Nightmare had a mouth, it would have twitched long ago. He decided to change the subject.
After a moment's silence, Meng Mo said, "I feel that there is something extraordinary about you. Although I don't know what it is."
Luo Binghe was slightly surprised: "There is something? Even you can't see it?"
The Dream Demon chuckled and said, "There are many capable people in my clan. It is not impossible that someone more outstanding than me has sealed something in you."
Luo Binghe was shocked.
The Nightmare Demon wouldn't throw away his centuries-old reputation to deceive a teenager like him. He said in disbelief, "Senior, do you mean that the things on me... are related to the demons?"
The Dream Demon sneered and said, "Why? Are you unhappy? Are you in a hurry to distance yourself from the demon clan?"
Luo Binghe's shock didn't last too long. His mind turned very quickly. After a moment of silence, he said firmly, "The demon world has done many evil things and hurt my master many times. Naturally, I can't have anything to do with them."
The dream demon said depressedly: "Boy, do you dare not talk about your master every other sentence? I guess your next question is, dare I ask you, is there any way to remove it from me?"
Luo Binghe smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I ask, will you tell me?"
The Nightmare laughed loudly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that I can't do anything. I can't even see clearly, how can I get rid of it? If I hadn't been so unpredictable, I would have killed both of you long ago. I wouldn't have bothered to bother with this for so long. Do you think I have nothing to do?"
Luo Binghe said nothing.
What he thinks is that you have no entity at all, and are just a phantom parasitic in other people's dreams. If you are not idle, who is idle?
Although he is kind-hearted, this is the fact...
The Nightmare Demon didn't know that he was secretly criticizing him, and said, "You can't get rid of me, but you can suppress me."
Luo Binghe was surprised. He asked tentatively: "Senior, are you willing to tell me the method?"
The Nightmare tempted: "Not only can I teach you how to suppress him, but I can also teach you more."
Luo Binghe understood.
His heart sank, and his voice turned cold: "You want me to practice magic?"
"What's wrong with cultivating magic? If you can cultivate magic, the things in your body will be of great benefit to your cultivation. If you make rapid progress, it is not an empty talk to surpass thousands of people. With time, you will even be able to become a supreme immortal or demon!"
Hearing the last sentence, Luo Binghe's heart moved.
A thousand miles a day, above ten thousand people, the supreme immortal and devil. That... should be the strongest existence, right?
Soon, he immediately rejected the idea.
Master hates demons the most. If I can't resist the temptation of this nightmare demon and fall into the evil way, how should I face Master?
Whether Shen Qingqiu was heartbroken or furious, it was definitely not what he wanted to see.
"No." Luo Binghe flatly refused.
The dream demon sneered and said, "If you don't want to learn from me, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress the evil spirit in you. It's hidden deep now, so it's okay if you can't see it, but I can feel that the seal on you is getting weaker. When it breaks the seal one day, what will your good master who hates evil and takes it as his duty to eliminate demons and defend the way of Taoism do to you?"
Mentioning Luo Binghe's most cautious thing, his face darkened and he said, "Senior Mengmo, I am just a humble mortal cultivator. Why do you have to force me to cultivate magic?"
This is a very good question. No one except the author can figure out why all the extraordinary people always cry and shout for the protagonist to be their apprentice/successor/son-in-law.
No, in fact, probably even most authors do not know the answer to this eternal mystery.
"My boy, please don't be so ignorant! I see that you are in such a strange condition, and I don't want your unique skills to disappear with my body. No matter how many people beg for them, they can't get them!"
Luo Binghe had no expression on his face. When Meng Mo saw that he didn't respond, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, when Luo Binghe spoke again, he had a smile that was ambiguous in meaning.
He said slowly, "Senior, you are so eager to teach me. I'm afraid it's not just because you don't want me to die without someone to take over, right?"
The nightmare demon secretly cried out in dismay.
