Chapter 33 Reunion 2.0
Shen Qingqiu looked at the young man who was so familiar yet strange to him. His limbs became stiff and his throat became astringent.
Didn't we agree that we would make a comeback after five years?
Shouldn't Luo Binghe be in the endless hell, cutting thorns and refining swords to kill monsters? Why did he appear in the encirclement of Huanhua Palace in advance? !
Why two years in advance?
Why are you in such a hurry to achieve success! Leveling up too quickly is not guaranteed, Luo Ge!
Shen Qingqiu had the urge to turn around and rush downstairs, rush out of Jinlan City, rush out of this damn world, but the first step back was blocked by Gong Yixiao, who even asked: "Senior Shen? Why are you retreating suddenly?"
...You really don't know how to consider the occasion, time, and facial expressions when speaking, Master Gongyi!
A low and soft voice came from behind: "Master?"
Shen Qingqiu stiffened his neck and turned his head slowly.
It was just an action, but when he did it now, he felt as if the head on his neck weighed several thousand pounds. Luo Binghe's perfect face was more terrifying than anything else in his eyes.
What's even more terrifying is that the expression on this face now is not as cold as ice, nor does it hide a dagger behind a smile, but rather a kind of gentleness and amiability that goes to the heart of people.
Oh my god, don't be like this, it's so scary!
The more tenderly Luo Binghe smiled, the more miserable his opponent's fate would be. This was definitely not a joke.
Shen Qingqiu was stuck at the stairs, unable to go up or down, and a layer of chills ran down his spine.
Luo Binghe slowly approached and said softly: "It really is Master."
His voice was light and floating, but every word that came out of his lips and teeth was like the sound of his footsteps in the attic every time he took a step, making Shen Qingqiu feel like he was playing a high-altitude bungee jumping and ice bucket challenge.
The tiger-head shackle was already on his neck, so he had to get on! Shen Qingqiu gathered himself together, and gritted his teeth. He pinched the fan bone with his right hand, his veins faintly protruding. He flicked his green shirt with his left hand, took a step, and finally stepped onto the second floor.
As soon as he stood there, he burst into tears.
When Luo Binghe participated in the Immortal Alliance Conference, he was still looking at him at eye level, but now, Shen Qingqiu has to raise his head slightly to look him in the eye. Just in terms of momentum, he is much inferior!
Fortunately, Shen Qingqiu had been pretending to be a tough guy for many years and had a lot of experience. No matter what he was thinking, at least he had a calm expression on his face. After a while, he managed to force out a sentence from his throat: "...What on earth is going on?"
Luo Binghe smiled slightly, seemingly not intending to answer.
Instead, a group of disciples from Huanhua Palace rushed up behind him and blocked his way.
Only then did Shen Qingqiu realize that these disciples' attitudes were very wrong.
In his early years, Shen Qingqiu was a master who had traveled all over the country. Not to mention the younger generation from other sects, even the same generation would greet him respectfully. However, these Huanhua Palace disciples seemed to be full of hostility towards him. They all looked unfriendly, and some had already drawn their weapons. In addition, Luo Binghe stood there without saying a word. This group of young people from a prestigious and upright family looked like a group of lackeys ready to rush up and fight for their boss, or a group of demon world lackeys ready to kill and set fire at any time...
Are you kidding me, boys? Don't rush to be someone's bodyguard, okay? Does the guy behind you need your protection?! It's good enough that he doesn't come to harm others. The one who really needs protection is me! It's me!
Gong Yixiao saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he stepped in and whispered, "Put away your swords! How disgraceful!"
Everyone restrained themselves, and those who had drawn their swords reluctantly put them back into their sheaths, but their hostility towards Shen Qingqiu did not diminish at all.
No wonder. No wonder Gong Yixiao is not the leader this time. In the past, when the most respected disciple spoke, these fellow disciples would not dare to show their disapproval. But now with Luo Binghe, who has turned evil and has first-rate brainwashing skills, he is the absolute center. It will be another ten thousand years before someone else takes the lead.
But Shen Qingqiu was almost having a concussion, and still couldn't figure out when Luo Binghe sneaked into Huanhua Palace? According to the original work, it was at least two years later!
The two sides stood there in a stalemate for a while. Suddenly, a pretty girl in a goose-yellow shirt came out and cried, "How can you still think of this now? Young Master Luo... Young Master Luo has been harmed by that traitor. Can't you think of a solution first?"
Shen Qingqiu then noticed that there was a human figure lying in the corner. It was the fake old lady just now.
He looked at Luo Binghe again, only to see that the latter's sleeve seemed to have been cut off by the sword energy, revealing a small part of his wrist. Luo Binghe's skin was very pale, and the few red spots on his wrist were particularly glaring.
He blurted out subconsciously: "You are infected?"
Luo Binghe glanced at him, shook his head and said sincerely: "It's okay. I hope everyone is fine."
Seeing such a selfless and considerate look, for a moment, Shen Qingqiu almost thought that the person in front of him was the little sheep that used to lie under his knees, bleating and loving to eat grass.
However, the disciples of Huanhua Palace were very good at putting him off. They said in a sinister tone, "Mr. Luo has been infected with the plague. Senior Shen must be very happy, right?"
…Shen Qingqiu began to seriously think about where and when he had sinned against the entire Huanhua Palace.
Gong Yixiao looked at Shen Qingqiu's face, feeling very embarrassed, and turned back to scold: "Shut up!"
Shen Qingqiu looked indifferent. As an elder who had been famous for many years, he would not get entangled with the young man who was brainwashed by the male protagonist. He just lowered his hand, and his sleeve naturally covered the back of his hand that had a red spot touching after the fake old lady.
The disciple with pockmarks on half his face who spoke up was scolded and shut up in dismay, still looking unconvinced. Qin Wanyue said sadly, "It's all our fault. If it wasn't for protecting us, Master Luo, you wouldn't have..."
Shen Qingqiu had already made a guess about what was popular in the city. He really wanted to use a loud speaker to yell in her ear: Girl, wake up! That's not a plague at all!
Shen Qingqiu dared to use his youth and pain from following the serial of more than 20 million words over the years to guarantee: First! This stuff is probably as painless and itchy as physiological saline or glucose to Luo Binghe, a half-blooded demon!
Second! If Luo Binghe was held back by others, or was injured while saving someone, don't think about it, it was definitely intentional! Do you know what is the fastest way to increase your positive image and favorability?
Shen Qingqiu couldn't stand the atmosphere of grief and despair in Huanhua Palace. Of course, what he couldn't stand even more was the feeling of staring at Luo Binghe silently, as if they were both waiting for the other to speak first.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to do something serious. He walked to the fake old lady's body without looking around, drew out the Xiu Ya sword, and with a few swishing strokes, cut the black cloth into pieces, revealing the body inside.
really.
This "person" looked ordinary, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. But that was not the point.
The most terrifying thing is that its entire skin is scarlet, as if it had been thrown into boiling water and boiled to the core from head to toe, but its body is intact and not boiled.
Shen Qingqiu said: "It's the sower."
Sower is a profession of the demon clan. Generally speaking, Shen Qingqiu thinks of them as farmers, farm owners, or wholesalers of feed in the demon world.
Due to geographical and racial reasons, many creatures in the demon world, including some demons with a slightly stronger taste, have rather peculiar physiological needs. Specifically, they like to eat rotten things, the stinkier the better, and those with maggots are the most delicious and nutritious.
But where does all the rotten stuff come from?
This is the role of the sower.
Any non-demon* creatures that they approach or touch will have their limbs rot in a short period of time. The demon world once had a popular manor feast: the manor owner captured hundreds of living people from the human world at one time, locked them up like livestock in one place, and put the sower in. Within seven days, when they were almost rotten, the door could be opened. You could choose to let the people out to eat, or go in and eat yourself.
This weird eating habit is very disgusting. But fortunately, the ancient demon family belongs to the most elegant and traditional bloodline of the demon clan, which is equivalent to the ancient nobles of the demon world. Their character in all aspects is not comparable to that of ordinary citizens of the demon world, and they have nothing to do with this kind of curious taste. Otherwise, even if Luo Binghe is handsome and amazing, he may not be able to withstand such a weird setting that is physically and psychologically unacceptable. Just think about it, how upset the girls would be if they kissed him, hahaha!
Because this profession was too anti-human, it aroused the rage of the monks in the human world at that time, and they launched a campaign to kill the sowers. Even many unknown heroes risked being corrupted and perished with them. Within ten years, the sowers were almost extinct, and even the demon world was hard to see. It was normal that ordinary monks had never heard of them. When Shen Qingqiu had nothing to do, he took the messy old books on Qingjing Peak and read them as strange stories, and he understood everything.
He had clearly made a very constructive judgment, but unfortunately, it was not taken seriously. Only Qin Wanyue said politely: "What the senior said, Young Master Luo had already guessed. Just now, he had already told us in detail about the sower." After saying that, the disciples of Huanhua Palace all looked up at Luo Binghe with admiration, as if his face was shining with golden light.
Appeared! Could this be the legendary aura of wisdom that "no matter what the male protagonist says, others will feel from his words that his IQ and experience are absolutely crushing"?
Luo Binghe looked at Shen Qingqiu and said softly: "Everything I know was taught by my master."
...The scary thing is that Shen Qingqiu really feels that his face has a soft light!
Damn it. Has the day finally come when the villains are not even allowed to have a chance to shine, and the hero is the only one who gets to shine? [Hand gesture goodbye]
Shen Qingqiu couldn't continue to waste his life in this weird atmosphere. Logically, the sower was killed by Huanhua Palace, and they also had the right to dispose of the body. Shen Qingqiu said: "In this case, can I borrow this body to take a look? Junior Brother Mu might find something, and it would help to develop a way to resist the epidemic as soon as possible."
Luo Binghe nodded and said, "I will follow Master's instructions. I will deliver the body to you later."
Shen Qingqiu's hair stood on end when he was called "Master" all the time. He finally understood the original author's feelings when facing Luo Binghe, a smiling but treacherous man, because he had no idea what Luo Binghe was trying to do!
He left without hesitation. After leaving the abandoned building, Shen Qingqiu was still in a state of devastating shock. He was dizzy and his feet were crooked. Gong Yi Xiao caught up with him and saw that Shen Qingqiu's face was pale and his expression was dazed. He said anxiously: "Senior Shen, I'm very sorry. In fact, I have always known about it, but my master has ordered that Mr. Luo's affairs in Huanhua Palace must be kept strictly confidential and not spread outside. Those who violate the order will be expelled, so I dare not tell you the truth."
Shen Qingqiu: "I just want to ask you, how did he get to your place?"
Gong Yixiao said, "It was Junior Sister Qin who saved the seriously injured and unconscious Master Luo near Luochuan last year."
Last year. In just one year, Gong Yi Xiao was kicked down from his position as a confidant. It seems that Luo Binghe's invasion of Huanhua Palace is not only earlier than the original timeline, but also more efficient. By the way, Gong Yi Xiao is indeed a cannon fodder who is constantly kicked down from the top position by the male protagonist!
Shen Qingqiu asked: "Since he was rescued by you, why didn't he go back to Cangqiong Mountain?"
Gong Yi Xiao paid close attention to Shen Qingqiu's expression and said carefully, "After being rescued and awakened, Master Luo seemed unwilling to talk about the past. When he said goodbye, he also revealed... that he would not return to Cangqiong Mountain Sect and hoped that Huanhua Palace would keep his whereabouts secret. It seems that he plans to wander around the world. My master likes him very much, so he continues to keep him. Although he does not call him master and disciple, he treats him in every way, just like a personal disciple."
so it is.
Luo Binghe's performance was exactly like a little white flower who was fully satisfied and silently endured. It was easy for people to guess why he was unwilling to go back. Maybe the Cangqiong Mountain Sect, especially Shen Qingqiu, had let him down. There must be some unspeakable secrets behind the false news of his death at the Immortal Alliance Conference.
No wonder the disciples of Huanhua Palace were hostile to him just now. Luo Binghe's brainwashing skills are not to be underestimated. Just look at the state of them following his lead just now, and you can know what Luo Binghe's current status in the palace is.
A disciple from faction A went to faction B, and everyone from the top to the bottom of faction B cried and begged him to stay and kept it secret from other factions. How unscientific and unreasonable. But under the shining halo of the male protagonist, this kind of thing is completely logical!
Shen Qingqiu remained silent. Gong Yixiao thought he was sad and disappointed. His beloved disciple was still alive, but he would rather linger outside than go back to see him. He said, "Senior Shen, don't worry too much. Young Master Luo may just have some unresolved issues. He never left the Huanhua Palace before, but he took the initiative to come this time. It can be seen that things have taken a turn for the better. However, my fellow apprentices... Ahem, they may have misunderstood you in this matter. I hope you won't hold it against them."
Shen Qingqiu's heart was blocked by the river.
As expected, the positive reputation that she had worked so hard to build up over the years could not withstand the male protagonist's desire to vilify her, and do it beautifully.
No! In fact, this is not a black story at all. Because he was not wronged at all, he really kicked the other person into the abyss of hell!
I simply can't find any reason to defend myself!
Shen Qingqiu asked: "What about you? Why didn't you misunderstand?"
Gong Yixiao was slightly startled, and immediately said: "Although I don't know what happened in the Jedi Valley, I believe that the senior is definitely not someone who would harm his disciples."
Well, let me tell you why... Because you and I are both cannon fodder standing on the opposite side of the male protagonist, so we can better understand and sympathize with each other's situation.
The Huanhua Palace group followed behind them, and Shen Qingqiu glanced back inadvertently, only to see Luo Binghe looking over here. He stood with his arms folded, watching coldly.
When Shen Qingqiu saw him now, he felt that his heart had become much weaker, and he was often like a small boat stuck in the turbulent waves and storms. For example, now, although Luo Binghe was not close to him and kept a decent smile on his face, his pair of dark eyes were cold and penetrating, and Shen Qingqiu suddenly felt cold in his heart.
Big brother, big master! What’s wrong with you? Do you think it’s an offense for two cannon fodders to talk and hug each other?!
As soon as I arrived at the door of the Golden Weapon Shop, I heard a quarrel inside that was almost enough to lift the roof off. This was all Liu Qingge's fault. He was in charge of the hard labor, and after the division, he went out to capture experimental subjects for Mu Qingfang. The people in the city were in a panic, and no one was willing to cooperate. At this time, they could not care about so many things, and could only use force to solve the problem. What's more, Liu Qingge was not a patient and reasonable person. His style was very consistent with the tradition of Baizhan Peak. He went out directly, grabbed a dozen burly men, and tied them up to the forging table behind the lobby. It has now become Mu Qingfang's research site test bench. A group of big men, the shouting, cursing and crying sounds were not inferior to those of women.
Shen Qingqiu went to the underground storage and explained the series of events that had just happened to others. He put aside the fact that he had been infected for the time being.
Master Wuchen once again chanted Amitabha: "Thanks to all the fellow Taoists from Cangqiong Mountain, things have finally made some progress."
Shen Qingqiu said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Infected people cannot infect each other, and the ancient books on Qingjing Peak recorded that the largest area where the sower sowed seeds was only about 300 people. If the infection area is as large as the entire city, there must be more than one sower."
Liu Qingge put the sword on the hilt and stood up. Shen Qingqiu knew that he was a man of action, and would leave as soon as he said he would, and would go out to find other sowers now, so he hurriedly said: "Wait! I have one more thing to say."
Mu Qingfang: "Brother, please speak?"
Shen Qingqiu didn't know how to start, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Luo Binghe is back."
The crowd didn't react much. Originally, among the three, Master Wuchen from Zhaohua Temple didn't know who Luo Binghe was, and Mu Qingfang cared little about anything other than medicine and pharmacology. Only Liu Qingge frowned and asked in astonishment: "Your disciple? Didn't he die at the hands of the demons at the Immortal Alliance Conference?"
Shen Qingqiu found it increasingly difficult to explain: “…I didn’t die. I came back alive. Alas.” He said worriedly: “You and I should go patrol the city first. We’ll talk about this in detail when we get back.”
Mu Qingfang said, "That's fine. Let's deal with the remaining sowers sooner so that there will be fewer people dying. I should also go and see the patients."
As soon as he said that, Shen Qingqiu remembered the set of shiny surgical tools that Mu Qingfang always carried with her, complete with knives and needles, all laid out in a row, as if it were a forensic autopsy scene. There were also hundreds of bottles and jars with different labels in the infinite space. The words and instructions on the labels were like the taste and efficacy of the things in the bottles and jars, which made people shudder at the mere mention of them and lose their courage at the sight of them. It was estimated that the group of big men next to the forging table above would really overturn the roof later.
Shen Qingqiu laughed dryly and was about to follow Liu Qingge out of the cellar when suddenly, without any warning, his heartbeat seemed to suddenly increase hundreds of times and his movements also stagnated.
Liu Qingge noticed something was wrong and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Qingqiu didn't answer. He tried to launch a spiritual attack with his right hand. The weak spiritual current passed through him intermittently without causing any sparks.
I'm having a fit at this critical moment, are you kidding me? !
Mu Qingfang whispered, "'No solution.'"
Liu Qingge pressed his pulse, paused for a moment, and decisively pushed him back: "Sit down. Wait."
What are you waiting for?! Are you waiting for Luo Binghe to come to you?! Shen Qingqiu stood up suddenly: "I'll go out with you."
Liu Qingge: "Don't get in the way."
You are the master of Baizhan Peak, who is able to stand alone against ten thousand enemies! What harm can it do to you to take me flying?
Mu Qingfang asked, "Brother Shen, have you taken your medicine today?"
Shen Qingqiu really wanted to look up to the sky and shout: "I haven't given up treatment!!!"
I clearly took my medicine on time this month! I also asked Liu Juju to help me with my exercises and opening my spiritual meridians! Why did it happen out of nowhere? It was like a bolt from the blue. I was completely confused!
At this moment, the system suddenly gave a reminder: [Protagonist’s happiness +100]
Get out!
Do you mean "Shen Qingqiu is unlucky, but the male lead is happy"? !
Can you please stop being so vague? If you have the guts, explain clearly why the points are suddenly added!
Mu Qingfang added, "Brother Shen, please don't be so stubborn. Brother Liu is doing this for your own good. Trying to run around and practice Qigong during an attack will cause great damage. You stay here to rest. I will go make medicine. When Brother Liu comes back, I will help you open up your spiritual meridians."
Shen Qingqiu stood up three times, but was pushed back by Liu Qingge. Mu Qingfang's tone was like she was teaching a naughty child, and she said helplessly, "Well, listen to me, Junior Brother Liu. The sower's skin is scarlet, and it is very contagious. If you encounter a suspicious person who looks like him, don't rush forward. Attack from a distance. Be sure to come to my room when you come back. I have something important to discuss with you."
The last sentence was the most important, Shen Qingqiu emphasized the words deliberately.
It takes a thousand days to train an army and it is only necessary to use it in one moment. Master Liu, you must protect me!
After Liu Mu and the others left the cellar, Wu Chen pondered and said, "Master Shen, don't you find it strange? The demon world has been silent for a long time, but in recent years, it has been making a comeback. At the last Immortal Alliance Conference, many rare monsters reappeared in the world. And this time, the sower who had been extinct for a hundred years appeared in Jinlan City. I am worried. This... I am afraid it is not a good sign."
Not only that, but these sowers are obviously reinforcements. The original sowers definitely did not stipulate that the infected could not be too far away from them. Shen Qingqiu felt the same way: "What the master is concerned about is exactly what I cannot rest assured about."
Yeah. Luo Binghe was supposed to stay in the abyss for another two years, but he was released early. Can this be a good omen?
After Master Wuchen was infected, his body was greatly damaged and his energy was greatly consumed. He felt tired after sitting and talking for a while. Shen Qingqiu made him lie down and tried to leave the cellar quietly. Wuchen hid in the cellar because he couldn't see the light or the wind. at the table in a daze. Sometimes he thought about Luo Binghe, the little sheep who followed him and called him Master all day long. Sometimes he thought about Luo Binghe, the black lotus who made him feel uncomfortable all over. He wanted to pull out all his hair.
After a while, someone knocked on the door twice, neither loud nor soft.
Shen Qingqiu stood up suddenly from the table: "Junior Brother Liu? I've been waiting for you for most of the night, come in quickly!"
The door suddenly swung open to both sides.
Luo Binghe stood at the door of the room, his back against the endless darkness, his hands behind his back, the corners of his lips slightly raised, but there seemed to be a thousand-foot-high cold pond in his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Master, hello."
The author has something to say: Thank you engeramy, Guo Xiaoyuan, Huan Zi Yin Yue, Ximen Grilled Wings 3, Erhuo Yang, gn's mines~(>_)~
