Chapter 44 Manual Rebirth
borderland.
The wind was strong in the evening, roaring through the sparsely populated town.
On the entire street, there was only a small teahouse emitting some warm yellow light, which made the street seem a little lively.
The so-called border area is not the border between countries or cities, but the border between the demon world and the human world.
The two tribes belong to different worlds, and originally there was an endless abyss that tore through space between them. However, there are always some places where the barriers separating the different worlds are weak and time and space are chaotic. It is common to see residents of the two worlds crossing paths with each other, and malicious smuggling and crossing the border also occur from time to time.
No normal person wants to live in a place where demons are elusive, stealing today and killing people tomorrow, so the border areas will become increasingly sparsely populated. Even if it was once a prosperous city, once the alien space is not clearly defined, there will most likely be a mass migration in the end, leaving only the disciples sent by the cultivation world to guard the border alone.
Lu Liu poured a bowl of hot wine for the newcomer and greeted the others around the stove: "Where are you from, brother?"
"From the south."
"Over there?" Several people looked at each other and said, "It's not easy right now."
The newcomer held up the wine bowl and said with a frown, "Who said it wasn't true? There's a fight every two or three days, and no one can stand such torture."
Someone in the corner interrupted and said, "Cangqiong Mountain and Huanhua Palace are both one of the four major sects. Why have they been so noisy in recent years? There is not a single disciple from both sides who doesn't fight each other when they meet. Don't these two sect leaders do something about it?"
Lu Liu said, "How many years have you been staying in this godforsaken place? You have been doing nothing for too long. It is because the two sect leaders tacitly approve that the disciples are fighting even harder!"
"Why is this? Sixth brother, can you tell me?"
Lu Liu cleared his throat and said, "This is a very complicated matter. Do you know who is the head of Huanhua Palace now?"
"I heard he was a young boy."
Lu Liu sneered, "If Luo Binghe can be called a brat, you and I have lived in vain. Speaking of Luo Binghe, he is not a simple person. He was born in the Cangqiong Mountain Sect and is the first disciple of Shen Qingqiu of Qingjing Peak. At the Immortal Alliance Conference that year, he topped the list. It was a glorious moment."
Others were puzzled and asked, "How can he become the head of Huanhua Palace if he was born in Cangqiong Mountain?"
"After the Immortal Alliance Conference, Luo Binghe disappeared for three years. No one knew where he had been or what he had done during those three years. Shen Qingqiu said at the time that he had disappeared, so everyone was sure that he was dead. Who would have thought that three years later, he would come back and become an important figure in Huanhua Palace, forcing Shen Qingqiu to self-destruct on the spot in Jinlan City."
The newcomer said: "I have never been able to figure this out. Is Shen Qingqiu innocent or does he deserve to die?"
Lu Liu said, "It's still unclear now. The Cangqiong Mountain Sect is definitely united against the outside world, and will beat anyone who mentions it. They have always been like this. Even when Shang Qinghua from Anding Peak defected to the demon world, which was a definite fact, they didn't allow anyone to say anything. After the incident in Jinlan City, the Huanhua Palace changed its owner not long after. The old palace master retired and was not even seen. It was Luo Binghe who took over the power and killed anyone who mentioned it."
Someone muttered, "Just because of a dead person."
Lu Liu said: "This dead man has caused quite a stir. Shen Qingqiu was from the Cangqiong Mountain Sect and was one of the twelve peak masters. His body must be returned to Qingjing Peak to be buried with the previous peak masters - but the problem is that Luo Binghe refuses to return the body."
Everyone thought of things like whipping the corpse and exposing it to the elements, and was horrified: "If they refuse to return it, won't the Cangqiong Mountain Sect take it by force? The leader of Baizhan Peak is still here."
Lu Liu said, "I can't beat him."
"What?!" Everyone's three perspectives were shattered. In their minds, Bai Zhan Feng was regarded as the invincible god of war, which was unacceptable.
Lu Liu said: "Don't you know? Liu Qingge from Baizhan Peak has fought against Luo Binghe countless times since he came to Jinlan City, but he has never won once! This is not over yet. Luo Binghe brought Shen Qingqiu's body back to Huanhua Palace, and within a few days, he personally intercepted Mu Qingfang from Qiancao Peak."
Someone said: "Qiancao Peak has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and has always been dedicated to saving the dying and the injured. How did they end up provoking this devil?"
Lu Liu said: "Luo Binghe took the man to Huanhua Palace and asked him to cure Shen Qingqiu." He sighed and said: "The man is already hard, what is there to cure?"
The newcomer said, "When I see the two sides fighting, the Cangqiong Mountain Sect always likes to call the Huanhua Palace Demon Clan running dogs. What's the story behind this?"
Lu Liu said: "This is because the entire Cangqiong Mountain sect, for some reason, insists that Luo Binghe is of demonic descent. However, several abbots of Zhaohua Temple have personally witnessed that the spiritual energy in Luo Binghe's body is flowing normally. The Cangqiong Mountain sect still insists on calling him that... This back and forth revenge is getting more and more hostile to each other. I think that one day the big ships will capsize and no one will survive, so," he said at the end, not forgetting to comfort himself: "For people like us who are sent to guard the border, it is a good thing to be free and at ease."
The man in the corner said in confusion: "I have no idea what is going on between this master and disciple and these two sects."
"Deep hatred is one explanation, but there is another explanation..." Lu Liu was about to gossip with great interest when suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the door.
Everyone in the room immediately became alert, their previous laziness disappeared, and they prepared their weapons.
The border area is sparsely populated and extremely desolate. They are the only team of border guards stationed in the entire town. Those who go out on patrol will not come back so soon, and the few remaining residents will not go out and wander around in the middle of the night to commit suicide.
No one in the house answered. After a while, there were two more knocks on the wooden door.
Lu Liu said in a sharp voice: "Who is it?"
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, extinguishing the oil lamp and candle on the table. The room suddenly became dark, with only the dim red light of the burning charcoal.
The shadow of a man with a sword on his back was reflected on the paper on the door and window. The man said in a clear voice: "Sixth brother, it's me. It's too cold today, so I came back early. Please open the door and let me in to have a drink to warm myself up."
The others breathed a sigh of relief and cursed, "Are you going to die, Old Qin? You just knocked on the door without saying anything. I would have thought you were eaten by a ghost!"
The man outside the door chuckled. Lu Liu felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He said, "Come in!" and opened the door.
A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the door, and the room was empty.
Lu Liu slammed the door shut and said in a deep voice, "Turn on the light."
The newcomer's hands trembled slightly. He turned around and made a fire gesture. The flickering flames reflected several figures. Before he lit the candles, he turned back and stammered, "Sixth Brother, I...I want to ask you something."
Lu Liu asked impatiently, "What are you dawdling for?"
The newcomer asked, "There were only six of us in this room originally, right?"
"But why do I see... there seem to be seven?"
Dead silence.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and no one knew who started the fight first. There were screams and the sound of weapons clashing. Lu Liu shouted "Lights up! Lights up!" Everyone quickly used fire magic, but the movements were too chaotic, the flames flickered, the shadows swayed wildly, and it made people dizzy. Instead, it became increasingly difficult to see who was who. Everyone was afraid of hurting their own people, so they didn't dare to be ruthless, so the thing that sneaked in was fishing in troubled waters, with claws here and knives there. Lu Liu was just getting angry when he was suddenly strangled by the neck.
He rolled his eyes upwards, his feet gradually lifted off the ground, and he couldn't see clearly what was pinching him. Just when he thought he was going to die, the door suddenly opened to both sides, and a strong wind swept in.
A figure rushed in with great momentum.
He didn't see how he punched or kicked, but Lu Liu heard a strange cry, as if it was made by something he was pinching, and then his throat loosened.
The six people in the house were still in shock, some of them were already lying on the ground. The man snapped his fingers, and several oil lamps in the house lit up at once.
He looked down for a moment, then stood up and said, "It's OK. He fainted."
The man was covered in black mud, as if he had just been dug out of a grave. He also had a full beard that covered his facial features. Although he was skinny, his face looked like a big man with a beard. Lu Liu stared at him from head to toe for a long while before he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for saving me!"
The man put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I have something to ask you."
Lu Liu: "Please speak."
The other party asked: "What year is it now?"
When Shen Qingqiu fell down the mountain covered in mud, he really wanted to explode the sky-shooting plane ten thousand times. It didn't matter whether he exploded the spirit or ate the flower.
The method of registration that he had most thought of at the beginning was actually faking his death.
But what’s the point of faking your own death?
The puppet fakes its death and the golden cicada escapes from its shell. This is just too much for TV dramas.
So the method he used was real death.
He actually blew himself up that day, and in the process drew most of the runaway evil spirit in Luo Binghe's body over to him. It's no exaggeration to say that his spiritual veins were shattered to pieces.
Only by putting yourself in danger can you be reborn.
Sun and Moon Dew Huazhi is abbreviated as "Meat Zhi", which is completely literal. Although this Zhi is not very useful for cultivation, it is at least grown by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon. If its seedlings are kept in a place with abundant spiritual energy, guided and cultivated, carefully shaped, and watered with blood and energy, when they mature, they can be grown into a living body. The flesh can grow, but the soul cannot be created in this way. In other words, what is grown is an empty shell without a soul, which is perfect for use as a container.
“Plant a small Shen in spring and harvest a big Shen in autumn” is no longer a dream!
Rosa Mosquito is not Chinese cabbage, it can be kept alive by watering it with feces. Shen Qingqiu planted and killed several Rosa Mosquito seedlings before he finally planted one that didn't grow crooked.
Shang Qinghua and he had calculated the coordinates of various places long ago and carried out remote operations. Under the ground of the tallest building in Huayue City, a teleportation formation was set up. When the sunlight was at its brightest, Shang Qinghua set up another push formation on Cangqiong Mountain. Once Shen Qingqiu's soul left his body, it would be teleported to the mature dew ganoderma that had long been buried in the mountains at the border.
Three locations, three magic circles, connected by straight lines, form the most stable equilateral triangle loop, which is absolutely stable and reliable.
The only flaw is someone.
It's really reliable to shoot the plane into the sky.
Although the mistakes that Shen Qingqiu had worried about before, such as "the arms and legs were not fully grown" or "the key parts were broken off", did not occur, but the Sun and Moon Dew Huazhi that was ripened with chemical fertilizers did have side effects.
When he just woke up, Shen Qingqiu waited quietly for a while, but did not hear the annoying Google Translate prompt tone.
He was ecstatic in his heart: The system hasn't come out, hahahaha, the system hasn't come out! Labor and capital have been exchanged for hardware, so I won't install your virus software anymore, hahaha! Although he was only relieved temporarily, he couldn't help dancing with joy... dancing with joy is a fart.
His whole body is still buried in the soil and he can't move!
After being buried for a whole day, Shen Qingqiu accumulated strength in his fingers until he was able to control his limbs, and then he crawled out trembling.
The moment he broke through the ground, he fell headfirst before he had time to revel in the fresh and free air. Ah, his body was out of control again, and he fell headfirst.
After walking and doing radio gymnastics for a whole day until the evening, Shen Qingqiu finally moved like a normal person. At least his hands and feet were no longer the same.
The humanoid mold was made from the appearance of Shen Yuan in his previous life. He was not as good as Shen Qingqiu, but he was still a good-looking guy, just a little bit of a spent-time, idler. But because some of his blood and bones were used to raise Luzhi, it would have an impact anyway. Shen Qingqiu rolled to the stream and shaved his beard with a sharp rock. The face was still 80% similar to Shen Qingqiu. He silently picked up his beard and put it back on his face.
After finally getting down the mountain, I grabbed a passerby and asked him—what the hell, five years have passed!
He could understand that when you first wake up, your body is out of coordination or sometimes you can't move because it needs a period of adjustment, but how can you wake up after being buried for five years? !
Well, despite all the complaints, Shen Qingqiu was still quite satisfied with the current situation. This body... was simply bursting with spiritual power!
If Shen Qingqiu's body hadn't been in a mess from time to time, it would have been considered full of spiritual energy. But compared to the feeling now, it was like the difference between two bars of power (enough) and full bars of power (just unplugged after charging). Or you could just say he was a generator! It was like being reborn, even more powerful than undergoing a complete transformation.
Is this the rhythm of him also cheating? !
Shen Qingqiu felt that he seemed to have picked up a little bit of the dignity of a reborn person!
Lu Liu said: "The border guards actually need your help. I am really ashamed. That thing just now..."
After Shen Qingqiu finished listening to what he had just said, he said, "This thing probably didn't come from the demon world. It can imitate the figures and voices of familiar people, and cannot enter the house without the invitation of the owner. It seems to be an 'uninvited guest' from the ghost world. These two worlds are connected, so it's not surprising that it flooded in through the breach at the border."
He could easily deal with such a rare ghost. Everyone was slightly impressed and curious about how he suddenly appeared in the border area. Lu Liu said, "In recent years, the invasion of demons has become more and more serious, and even other evil spirits have also flooded into the human world. A big war is probably imminent... Oh, I haven't asked for your fairy name yet?"
Before Shen Qingqiu could finish his sentence, “Hehe, I am the chief swordsman Shen Qingqiu of the Qingjing Peak of the Cangqiong Mountain School in the Central Plains,” he suddenly turned around. He was so close to using his old nickname. He couldn’t think of another nickname for a moment, so he hesitated for a moment and uttered four words: “Peerless Cucumber.”
I have decided. The past is like smoke. From now on, I will use this ID that has been used in the book review area for many years when I travel around the world.
After saying this, Shen Qingqiu left without a trace, leaving only the people in the room petrified in the wind.
After a while, the newcomer murmured, "What did he just say... peerless... what was it?"
Lu Liu guessed, "Peerless... yellow flower?"
"Isn't it the peerless crown?"
"No, no, no, it seems to be a peerless mad flower!"
Shen Qingqiu walked several feet away and his feet slipped.
Well, let me think about it again and change the title...

Yesterday, there were some typos and omissions that were simply unbearable—
Transition Chapter: Upgrade Master Shen's equipment
The next offensive will be a little better.
Many people are calling foreshadowing, but some foreshadowing will not be used up so quicklyヾ(●w●)ノ
I think I just had a draw and published two new chapters. If you see two identical new chapters, don't click on them.
