Chapter 29 The System Is Unreliable

Shen Qingqiu asked: "Do you still remember that you set up a plant that would appear once every thousand years?"

"..." Shang Qinghua was speechless: "Your range is too broad. I have set up at least 800 of these things, if not a thousand."

You know it yourself!

Shen Qingqiu sighed and said five words in his ear.

Shang Qinghua was horrified when he heard this, and after a moment, he spoke meaningfully to Shen Qingqiu.

Shen Qingqiu: "...What are you looking at me for?"

“Nothing.” Shang Qinghua said, “I just feel that you are indeed my loyal reader. I used to throw away the settings after use, but you were able to dig them out from the corner. I am a little touched.”

"..." Shen Qingqiu said: "Come with me tomorrow to the place where it was born and look for it."

Shang Qinghua said, “Tomorrow? Isn’t this… a bit hasty?” He hesitated and said, “Actually… I can’t remember its specific location and description. The entire text is nearly 20 million words, and there is only one paragraph that mentions it. Let me think about it slowly, and I’ll tell you when I think of it.”

Shen Qingqiu said earnestly: "Then wait until Luo Binghe comes back and Mobei-Jun is conquered by him. Then one of us will kill me and the other will kill you. It won't be too late for you to remember it later."

Shang Qinghua: "...Okay. I will definitely remember it tomorrow!"

Anyway, at Anding Peak, trivial matters like allocating rooms and customizing school uniforms for new disciples do not necessarily have to be done by the peak master.

Shang Qinghua went back and pondered all night, racking his brains. His mind was in turmoil, and finally before dawn, an idea flashed in his mind and he marked a place on the map.

When Shen Qingqiu saw the map, he slapped the table and started down the mountain with him in his arms. One part of the way was for eating and drinking, another part was for playing; another part was for sword fighting, another part was for driving. It should have been a very pleasant journey.

The only slightly unpleasant thing was that Shang Qinghua sat in the driver's seat, sighing and groaning.

"Why do I have to pay for food, lodging, and rides? Why do I have to drive the carriage?"

Shen Qingqiu said in the carriage: "Don't be ashamed. The funds are public funds, given by the head brother, you just took the money out of your pocket."

Thinking of Yue Qingyuan's earnest instructions to him before he set out, Shang Qinghua felt extremely sad.

What does "Junior Brother Shang, Qingqiu is in your care during your travels. He is poisoned, so please take good care of him."

How can you address each other so clearly? It's just that the places where we practiced as children were far away from each other, so we are not childhood sweethearts!

Compared to them, the closed disciples who were carefully cultivated by the peak master from the very beginning, the outer disciples who climbed up by playing palace tricks have no human rights.

So there is really no future in logistics.

As an author, I had tried my best to portray Shang Qinghua as an extreme scumbag, but I finally felt the pain of the character.

Shang Qinghua said: “You have hands and feet, why don’t you do it yourself… Shit, shit!”

Shen Qingqiu felt the carriage suddenly tilt forward, as if Shang Qinghua had suddenly reined in his horse, and the curtain was lifted. He asked in alarm, “What’s going on?”

The carriage was passing through a dense forest.

There were towering ancient trees all around, with fallen leaves everywhere. The sunlight was blocked by layers of branches and leaves, and even spots of light were difficult to see.

Seeing nothing unusual, Shen Qingqiu did not relax his vigilance and asked, "What were you screaming about just now?"

Shang Qinghua was still in shock: "I just saw a woman slithering over on the ground like a snake! The carriage almost ran over her!"

It sounded a bit weird. Shen Qingqiu said: "That's definitely worth screaming about."

The forest was quiet, and nothing unusual happened for the time being. Shen Qingqiu did not dare to let his guard down, and did not get into the carriage. Instead, he sat in the rushing seat with Shang Qinghua. He held up the sword technique in one hand and observed secretly, and with the other hand he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the snack bag and stuffed them into Shang Qinghua's mouth: "Be good, go in and eat some for fun."

Shang Qinghua could use it to summon and do some odd jobs, but it was useless for fighting monsters. He also knew his level, so he took the melon seeds and started to eat them. He ate one for every step the carriage took. So, after an incense stick, they finally... discovered a very serious problem.

The two of them looked at the familiar pile of melon seed shells on the ground in silence.

Shang Qinghua said, “Well, there’s no need to doubt it. The dragon bone melon seeds produced at Qiancao Peak of the Cangqiong Mountain Sect are ripe red in color, with golden shells. They must be the ones I just ate.”

Shen Qingqiu: "It's enough to know that selling melon seeds is your sideline business at Anding Peak."

So, here comes the question. How did they end up back where they came from?

The two looked at each other.

The haunted house, a classic and clichéd scene, was truly placed before them.

Shang Qinghua thought of a folk remedy: "How about we try pouring boy's urine on the horse's eyes?"

Shen Qingqiu said: "...Horses have dignity too, okay? Why do you want to pour excrement into its eyes? And where can I find boy's urine in this desolate mountain?"

As soon as he said this, he found that Shang Qinghua was looking at him sincerely.

Shen Qingqiu: "Why are you looking at me? I myself... let's not talk about it for now. You wrote the original character of Shen Qingqiu yourself. He looks noble on the outside but is licentious on the inside. He is obsessed with harmony all day long. He has affairs as a teenager and looks for prostitutes as a young man. Do you think I am still a virgin now?"

The character of Shang Qinghua seems to be similar.

Shen Qingqiu frowned and thought carefully, then suddenly slapped his thigh.

He turned and got into the carriage, and suddenly heard Shang Qinghua howling like a ghost outside the carriage.

Shen Qingqiu took out what he was looking for and shouted, "What is it?!"

Shang Qinghua was so scared that he didn't even use punctuation when he spoke: "When you walked in, I felt something furry rubbing against my neck. When I looked up, it was a bunch of hair. There was a big white face behind the hair. I couldn't see it clearly. Shit!"

Shen Qingqiu looked up, but of course he couldn't see anything. He thought, no matter what this thing is, it's quite clever, picking on the weak. It only dared to play with Shang Qinghua, who looked a little scared, and didn't dare to tease him. He patted his shoulder again: "No matter how scary it is, you wrote it yourself, what are you afraid of!"

He unfolded the object in his hand and took out a map.

Shang Qinghua said, “Brother, I thought you were so awesome that you could make a map of Bailu Forest. Look carefully, this is a map of the mainland. The entire mainland is on it. Even if Bailu Forest is marked, it’s only as big as a dot. You won’t be able to find the way with it.”

Shen Qingqiu said: "Look at this place for yourself."

He pointed down the map.

The Cangqiong Mountain Sect is located in the east, the Tianyi Temple is located in the center, and the south is the territory of the Huanhua Palace.

The spot of Bailu Forest is right on the lavender border of Huanhua Palace.

Shang Qinghua suddenly realized, “The Huanhua Palace has also included the Bailu Forest in its sphere of influence? So we are not trapped in a ghost wall now, but in their palace protection formation?”

In order to prevent outsiders from causing trouble, all the major sects have their own formations. For example, the Heavenly Ladder of the Cangqiong Mountain Sect, if an ordinary person does not know the way, will climb the 13,000 stone steps until they are half dead, and will never reach the top, and can only wait for the mountain guardian disciples to send them down.

Stuck here, with no one to guide me, I'm afraid I'll just keep going around in circles.

Shen Qingqiu knocked on the door: "System? Are you there?"

After a pause and no reply, he typed again: "Didn't they say they provide 24-hour online service? If you don't come out, I'll give you a bad review!"

System: [Hello, the system has entered sleep mode and is now an intelligent agent. Please help yourself if you need service.]

Shen Qingqiu: "...What, dormant?"

He suddenly remembered that the system had indeed not calculated his B-level value and various new and strange indexes for him in the past few days.

Intelligent Agent: [The system's main energy source "Luo Binghe" has been disconnected. The background maintenance is being updated. The system will be activated when it is reconnected. I wish you all the best during the self-service period. Thank you. 】

It's already so annoying now, will you make my balls explode after you update the version? No, the point is that Luo Binghe is still the chief energy, damn it!

Shen Qingqiu wanted to ask more questions, but found that the agent kept giving these two sentences over and over again.

What the hell is intelligent agent? Isn't it just like QQ's automatic reply? How dare you add the word "intelligent" in front of it!

Shen Qingqiu patted Shang Qinghua: "Knock on your system to see if it's still connected."

Shang Qinghua blinked, and after a moment: "It's under maintenance."

It turns out that Luo Binghe is not just the total energy source of one system! Once he is offline, all systems will be paralyzed! This cheat is simply too powerful!

This matter is serious, but it is not that serious. It is just that Luo Binghe cannot brush B grid during the leveling period of Wujian Hell. It is also good to think about it. If you can't brush it, you can't reduce it. It is equivalent to no taboos!

Shen Qingqiu was comforting himself when he suddenly noticed some movement in the bushes nearby.

Shen Qingqiu snapped his fingers and shouted, "Come out!" The Xiu Ya sword at his waist was unsheathed, and following Shen Qingqiu's sword techniques, he flew and stabbed, but the thing was like a swimming fish, hiding in the bushes, as slippery as a loach, and no matter how many times he stabbed it, he could not hit it.

Suddenly, a blinding light flashed before Shen Qingqiu's eyes. The thing screamed sharply, and suddenly leaped back several feet. The bushes had been chopped into pieces, and could no longer hide anything. The thing had already run away and was no longer moving.

Didn't he use his ultimate move just now? It seemed like he just reflected the sunlight for a moment.

Shang Qinghua leaned over and asked, “Is it afraid of light?”

Shen Qingqiu: "Damn, it really is a female ghost!"

The two were about to discuss something when they suddenly heard a very subtle sound of footsteps. This person's body movements were very good, and if it weren't for Shen Qingqiu's good cultivation, he would have almost missed it. A young man in white clothes appeared from the dense forest.

The young man had drawn his sword and looked alert, but after seeing who was coming, he was surprised and quickly put away his sword and saluted.

"I have noticed some unusual movements around the barrier, so I have come here. I didn't know that Master Shen and Master Shang are here. I am sorry for not welcoming you."

Shen Qingqiu thought he looked quite handsome, but a little unfamiliar, so he asked politely, "Young Hero, are you?"

The young man slipped.

Shang Qinghua whispered in his ear: “…You are too disrespectful. This is Gong Yi Xiao.”

Gong Yixiao was a little depressed. Although he was kicked off the top of the gold list by Luo Binghe, he was still the second place after all, with outstanding achievements. In addition, he had the highest voice to win the championship before, and he often accompanied the old palace mistress to visit the senior leaders of various factions. It was really unexpected that Shen Qingqiu did not recognize him.

Shen Qingqiu praised: "It is true that heroes emerge from youth."

Gong Yixiao said, "I don't deserve it. Why didn't you tell me that the two peak masters were coming to Huanhua Palace? I feel really bad for being so disrespectful to you."

They really treat Bailu Lin as their own territory.

Shen Qingqiu said: "I have no intention of visiting Huanhua Palace. I just want to deal with an incident in Bailu Forest."

Gong Yixiao was stunned and wanted to ask what it was about, but he thought quickly and held back.

Shen Qingqiu first pointed out that he came to Bailu Forest to do business, but he did not explain the purpose of this trip, which made it clear that he did not want to talk more. As long as Gong Yixiao was not stubborn, no matter how curious he was, he would think of his status as a junior and would not dare to ask questions casually. After all, he was the proud disciple of the old palace master for many years, so he would not be so ky. It was too inappropriate for the younger generation to question the behavior of the older generation.

If it were someone else, they would definitely wonder what the intentions of the two peak masters of Cangqiong Mountain Sect sneaking around the border of their sphere of influence were. Or they would think that if it grows in my yard, it must be mine. If it grows on the edge of my fence, it must also be mine. The logic is that simple.

Shen Qingqiu wanted to send him away with a few words, but Gong Yi Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I don't know what you two seniors are going to do, I, a humble junior, would like to ask to go with you to help."

Shen Qingqiu smiled, his lips barely moving, and muttered to his teammates: "Why not take him with you? After all, he's a capable fighter."

Shang Qinghua, who couldn't fight, also muttered, "What if he doesn't let us take the Sun and Moon Dew Huazhi?"

Shen Qingqiu was very shameless: "Are you stupid? When the time comes, you can just take it and leave. He won't be able to rob you. Going back and telling his teacher about it will be a matter for later. By then, we will have already left. Why are we waiting for them to catch us?"

Shang Qinghua: "What should we do if the two factions become enemies?"

"It's such a trivial matter, why would you make enemies? Besides, Sun Moon Dew Huazhi is for life preservation. Between your life and diplomatic relations, which one do you choose?"

Shang Qinghua said without hesitation: "Take him away!"

Shen Qingqiu raised his head and said decisively to Gong Yixiao: "Let's go!"

Therefore, the hard work of driving was handed over to the younger generation.

While controlling the reins, he asked curiously, "Senior Shen, there is something I don't understand."

Shen Qingqiu said: "Please speak."

Gong Yixiao said: "Based on the previous generation's cultivation level, it would not take a moment to break into our sect's formation, and it was done without anyone noticing. How could it cause such a huge spiritual power fluctuation?"

Ahem. The reason is very simple, just like you can memorize the formula by heart, but you may not be able to solve the problem.

Shen Qingqiu said half-truthfully: "The fluctuations were not generated when the formation was broken, but when dealing with a strange monster."

Gong Yi Xiao was stunned for a moment: "A strange monster?"

Shen Qingqiu said: "It is actually difficult to tell whether it is a monster or not, but its appearance is evil and does not look like a normal living thing in the human world."

Gong Yixiao said: "There are human settlements within a ten-mile radius of Bailu Forest, but I have never heard of any monsters invading the area. There are not even any tigers or wild beasts."

Shen Qingqiu pondered and said, "What on earth could that be? Its hair is disheveled, its bones are extremely soft, and its face is swollen like a starving corpse."

Gongyi Xiao said sincerely: "No matter what it is, it is best if it does not appear again. If it does appear, there is no need to trouble the two seniors to take action. Just let the younger generation handle it."

The respect in these words was genuine. Although he didn't know much about this senior Xiu Yajian, and had only seen him once or twice from a distance before, at the last Immortal Alliance Conference, Shen Qingqiu's direct disciple surpassed him to take the top spot, and he himself had also helped many Huanhua Palace disciples. To be honest, he had special respect for him.

Shen Qingqiu saw that he behaved properly and was humble as he should be. In addition, his appearance was similar to Luo Binghe's, that is, he was gentle, affectionate, and handsome with a smile on his face. It was hard not to like him.

Of course, he was completely oblivious to this sentiment, which can be best described in one word: love the person and love the dog in him.

All he sighed about was: Luo Binghe, oh, Luo Binghe. Today, I am running around all over the place, all because I am afraid of Luo Binghe!
