Chapter 33: Reunion (Version 2. 0)
Looking at the familiar yet strange-looking young man, Shen Qingqiu's limbs felt stiff and her throat was dry.
Shouldn't he be back after ten years?
Shouldn't Luo Binghe be inside the ravine cutting its way through thorns and thorns, improving her sword skills? Why did he suddenly appear inside the barrier of Huan Hua Palace ?!
Why did he show up two years ahead of schedule? If one level is too fast, one's safety cannot be guaranteed, Luo-ge!
Shen Qingqiu felt the urge to turn around, dashed down the stairs, dashed out of Jinlan City, and did not stop running until she left this cursed world. He only retreated one step back when he was blocked by Gongyi Xiao who asked: "Older Shen? Why are you suddenly retreating? ”
… Please use your eyes. Look at the expression on my face and read the atmosphere, Master Gongyi Xiao!
Behind him, a low and gentle voice came: "Shizun?"
Shen Qingqiu's neck felt stiff as she slowly turned her head. Luo Binghe's face was the scariest thing she had ever seen.
The scariest thing about it was that his facial expression was not cold at all. His smile was not sharp like a knife. Instead, it showed a kind of deep tenderness and friendliness.
I'll go, you don't have to be so scary!
The gentler Luo Binghe's smile was, the more his opponent's soul shattered. This is definitely not a joke.
Shen Qingqiu froze on the stairs, stuck in the middle of the road, her back filled with goosebumps.
Luo Binghe slowly approached and whispered, “This is really Shizun. ”
His voice was light as a feather and every word that fell from his lips was clear. The sound of his footsteps made Shen Qingqiu's heart jump as if he was about to jump up and down a height bungee after the ice bucket challenge.
His head was already on the guillotine so why didn't he go up? Shen Qingqiu gathered her composure and gathered her courage. The knuckles of his right hand that held his fan tight, whitened and made the blue veins stand out. His left hand swept across the end of the green robe as he raised his feet one step, finally setting foot on the second floor.
Just one step and she was already almost crying.
When Luo Binghe participated in the Eternal Alliance Conference, she could still look down on her, but now Shen Qingqiu had to tilt her head slightly to look at her. The impressive attitude he wanted to convey was somewhat weakened by this.
Fortunately, Shen Qingqiu had worn a cold and noble air for many years and had a lot of experience in it. No matter how she felt inside, she could always show a calm expression. After a long time, he managed to pull out a hard sentence from his tight throat: ".... What is really going on here?"
Luo Binghe smiled slightly and seemed to have no intention of answering.
However, behind him the noisy chatter group of Huan Hua Palace's disciples stopped abruptly.
Shen Qingqiu saw that the attitude of these disciples was very wrong.
Shen Qingqiu was a great scholar who was respected for his learning and integrity whose fame had spread throughout the cultivation world in his early years, not to mention, he was respected by the younger generation. Even if he met his friends, there were some people who would not respect. However, the disciples of Huan Hua Palace seemed to be full of hostility. They looked at him with unfriendly eyes and some of them had already drawn their weapons. Moreover, Luo Binghe did not speak and simply stood there. A group of disciples from a famous straight sect looked like a raiding group ready to rush forward to kill the boss, like a bunch of evil minions who would kill and burn …
Young men, you have made a mistake! Don't rush forward to look after someone. You want to protect that person behind your back ?! The fact that he didn't attack someone was already good. The one who really needs to be protected is me!
Gongyi Xiao saw that the atmosphere was wrong. He walked forward among them and whispered, “Keep away your sword! What a shameful behavior! ”
Everyone then restrained themselves. Those who had unsheathed their swords reluctantly sheathed them but their enmity towards Shen Qingqiu did not diminish.
No wonder. No wonder these people would not pay attention to Gongyi Xiao. In the past, Gongyi Xiao was one of the best disciples. Which of his fellow disciples dared not to give him face? But now there was Luo Binghe who, after blackening, had great brainwashing skills. Now he was the absolute central authority. Even after ten thousand years, it was impossible for anyone to become a leader.
Shen Qingqiu was shocked and could not understand it. When did Luo Binghe get involved with Huan Hua Palace? According to the plot of the original novel, it should be two years later!
Both groups stood stiff for a while. Suddenly, a young girl in a yellow jacket appeared on one side and cried: “You're thinking about that at a time like this? Mr Luo, he ... was harmed by that criminal! Can't you think about that first? ”
Shen Qingqiu noticed that there was a human-shaped figure in the corner. That fake old woman.
He looked at Luo Binghe again. This time he noticed that part of his sleeve had been cut off by the sword, exposing a small part of his wrist. Luo Binghe was quite pale and there were a few red spots on her wrist.
He subconsciously said, "Are you infected?"
Luo Binghe glanced at him then shook her head sincerely: “That's not important. Everyone out of danger. ”
Such a selfless and considerate attitude! For a moment, Shen Qingqiu could almost imagine that she was a cute and harmless little lamb grazing on the grass and playfully touching Shen Qingqiu's knees, bleating, “baa baa. ”
Unfortunately, the disciples of Huan Hua Palace broke the atmosphere by pouring cold water, mysteriously saying: "If Lord Luo has infected this place, Elder Shen will be very happy?"
… Shen Qingqiu began to seriously wonder what evil he had committed against the entire Huan Hua Palace.
Gongyi Xiao looked at Shen Qingqiu's face and was extremely embarrassed. He reprimanded the disciples, saying, “Shut up, all of you!”
Shen Qingqiu looked indifferent. As an elder with a lot of experience, under him he sparred with the youngsters who had been brainwashed by the protagonist. He just lowered his hand. His sleeves naturally covered the back of his hand which had red spots after meeting the fake old woman.
The disciple who had spoken, who had a speck mark on half his face, kept his mouth shut but he still looked angry and unsure. Qin Wanyue said with a sigh, "This is all our fault. If you do not protect us, you will not … "
Shen Qingqiu already had a rough idea of what was spreading in this city. She really wanted to take a megaphone and scream in her ear: Girl, get up! This is not a plague at all!
Shen Qingqiu dared to use her years of reading over 20 million words to guarantee this: First of all! It is almost painless for Luo Binghe as a salt or glucose solution. Second! If Luo Binghe was injured protecting others, there was no need to worry because that was definitely her plan! Don't you know that it's the easiest way to increase a person's feelings of benefit?
Shen Qingqiu could not bear the mourning atmosphere in Huan Hua Palace. Of course, the least he could stand was that he and Luo Binghe were secretly watching each other, as if the two of them were waiting for someone else to open their mouths first.
He braced himself and bit the bullet. Looking neither left nor right, he walked over to the fake old woman's body. Drawing Xiu Ya, he cut the black cloth, revealing the body inside.
Sure enough, this "person" looks normal. His body was no different from an ordinary human. But that's not the point.
The point was that it was red all over the body as if it had blistered with boiling water from head to toe. However, the body was not burned.
Shen Qingqiu said: "It's a sower. ”
Sower is a kind of devil. Basically, Shen Qingqiu knew that in the demon world, a sower was similar to a farmer, a farmer or, perhaps, a wholesale distributor of food to the demon world.
For geographical and racial reasons, many creatures in the demon world, including some of the more sadistic demons, have strange physiological needs. In particular, they like to eat rotten things. The more rotten, the more nourishing the devil is.
But where can one find a lot of rotten food?
That is why the profession of sower is needed. There was once a certain place in the demon world that was a popular feeding ground: The ruler of that place would cross over into the human world to take hundreds of people alive at once, he said, then put them in a covered place like cattle. Then he will release the sower inside. In less than seven days, the master could open the door because the food was rotten and ready. He could choose to take people out to eat it or walk in and eat there.
This type of exotic eating habit is quite disgusting. Fortunately, the ancient demons, the elite nobles among the demons who had the most powerful demon bloodline and who could not compare to ordinary demons, did not look for this kind of exotic taste in their food. Otherwise, even if Luo Binghe grew to be so handsome, Shen Qingqiu was afraid psychologically, it would be too difficult for her to accept this kind of bizarre arrangement. If she was the half-demon type, the girls who kissed her would have been very brave, hahaha!
In the past, because this kind of profession was too anti-human, it aroused the ire of cultivators, who launched campaigns to suppress sowers. Many unsung heroes risk becoming infected and dying. Within ten years, the sowers were almost extinct. Now they were almost never seen, so it was normal for ordinary cultivators not to know them. As for Shen Qingqiu, whenever she was silent, she liked to pick up old books that were piled into a mess at Qing Jing Peak, so she knew that.
He made a very clear decision, but unfortunately, he was not taken seriously. Only Qin Wanyue was polite enough to reply gracefully: "What Elder said, Lord Luo has already guessed. Just now, he told us all about the sower in detail. '' After that, the disciples of Huan Hua Palace looked at Luo Binghe with great admiration and longing, as if her face was bathed in a pure golden light.
Appeared! This is the legendary "hello of wisdom" protagonist who has "no matter what the protagonist says, his words will make people feel as if their IQ is being destroyed" effect!
Luo Binghe looked at Shen Qingqiu and said softly, "Everything I know was taught by Shizun. ”
… The terrible thing was that Shen Qingqiu really felt as if her face was bathed by a gentle light.
Damnit. In the end, the villain wasn't even allowed to look cool. Is this a good time for the protagonist to show off? [spear bye bye]
Shen Qingqiu was completely incapable of wasting time in this strange atmosphere. In fact, the sowers were killed by the people from Huan Hua Palace, therefore they had the right to throw it away. Shen Qingqiu said: "Then, can I borrow this body to look at? Maybe Mu Shidi will be able to find something. It would be good to find a way to prevent an epidemic as soon as possible. ”
Luo Binghe nodded. "Every order Shizun will obey. The student will free the body. ”
Called "Shizun" by him made every hair on Shen Qingqiu's body stand up. He finally knew how the real Shen Qingqiu felt when he faced Luo Binghe, yang said sweet words but hid the dagger in her sleeve because she did not know what Luo Binghe wanted to do!
Shen Qingqiu: "I only asked one question about you. How did he get here? ”
Gongyi Xiao said, “Qin Shimei saved Lord Luo Gong who was severely injured in Luo Chuan last year. ”
Last year In just one year, Gongyi Xiao replaced as the most trusted disciple of Palace leader Huan Hua. It seemed that Luo Binghe's invasion of Huan Hua Palace was not only earlier than the original schedule, but her efficiency was also improved. Indeed, Gongyi Xiao was a true cannon fodder that was constantly kicked from every first place position by the protagonist!
Shen Qingqiu said: "After being saved, why didn't he return to the Cang Qiong Mountain sect?"
Gongyi Xiao looked at Shen Qingqiu's face, then said carefully, “After being saved, Lord Luo seems reluctant to talk about the past. When he said goodbye, he confessed that ...he would not return to the Cang Qiong Mountain sect and hoped that Huan Hua Palace could keep its existence a secret. It seems like he intends to roam around the world. The teacher liked him very much and kept holding him back. Although, in truth, they did not have a formal teacher-student relationship, he was already treated like a successful disciple personally. ”
I saw .
Luo Binghe's actions were the standard “lotus of white secretly bearing the suffering. “It's easy for people to guess why he didn't come back. Perhaps the Cang Qiong Mountain sect, especially Shen Qingqiu, is sorry. At the time of the Eternal Sword Congress, there were bound to be some unspeakable secrets.
No wonder the disciples of Huan Hua Palace were hostile towards him now. It wasn't just Luo Binghe's brainwashing skill. They only followed in his footsteps because they knew Luo Binghe's status in Huan Hua Palace.
A disciple of faction A went to group B then everyone from faction B, from highest to lowest rank, cried and asked him to stay, he said, while hiding a secret so that no one knows about it – how unscientific and irrational! But this kind of thing is entirely logical in the light of the protagonist's hello!
Shen Qingqiu was silent. Gongyi Xiao thought he was sad and disappointed. His beloved disciple did not die, but he would rather roam outside than return to look at her. He said, “Older Shen doesn't have to think too much about it. Lord Luo might only need to temporarily resolve some of the problems in her heart. In the past, he had never left Huan Hua Palace but this time he volunteered to come. However, my fellow junior disciples .. they definitely have a misunderstanding about the Elder. I hope you are not offended. ”
Shen Qingqiu's heart shattered into pieces.
He had painstakingly worked for many years to build a positive reputation but, as expected, the protagonist could still paint it in beautiful black!
Is wrong! In fact, she was not painted black at all because she was not harmed at all. In the end, he actually kicked someone into a deep abyss!
I should not think of any reason for my actions!
Shen Qingqiu said: "What about you? Why don't you misunderstand? ”
Gongyi Xiao was startled and immediately said, “Although I do not know what happened in the Juedi Valley, I believe that Elder is not the type of person who will kill his disciple. ”
Okay, let me tell you the reason .. Since you and I are cannon fodder on opposite sides of the protagonist, we can understand and sympathize with each other's situation.
Then the group of Huan Hua Palace disciples followed. Shen Qingqiu unintentionally turned her head back, only to see Luo Binghe staring at them. He clasped his hands together and looked at him with the cold eyes of an observer.
When Shen Qingqiu saw him, her heart felt unstable and weak, like a boat caught in a storm. Right now, although Luo Binghe was not too close to him and continued to smile, her dark eyes were so cold and sharp that Shen Qingqiu suddenly felt her heart turn cold.
Big brother, uncle! What is it with you – two characters cannon food conversing and hugging each other to warm up, why are you offended ?!
When they arrived at the Gold Weapon Shop, they discovered that the sound inside was so loud that it was almost enough to blow up the roof. This was all Liu Qingge had done. He is responsible for the most difficult tasks. After they parted ways, Liu Qingge went to capture some experimental subjects. The people in the city were unwilling to cooperate so at the moment, there was nothing they could do but solve the problem by force. Moreover, Liu Qingge was not a patient and reasonable person. His style is very consistent with the traditions of Bai Zhan Peak. He walked out just like that, grabbed over a dozen burly men, then tied them to the platform behind the lobby. It had now become a research site for Mu Qingfang. A group of burly men cursed and cried, as hard as a group of women.
Shen Qingqiu went to the underground treasury and explained the series of events to the others. He did not mention that he himself had been infected.
Great Master Wu Chen once again prayed to the Buddha to preserve them and said: “Thank you to the sect friend of Cang Qiong Mountain, things have finally gotten better. ”
Shen Qingqiu said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Infected people are unlikely to infect each other. As noted in the ancient books of Qing Jing Peak, the largest group of people affected by the sower were only three hundred. If the infected area throughout the city was so large then there must have been more than one sower. ”
Liu Qingge placed her hand on the handle and stood up. Shen Qingqiu knew that she was a person who liked to act. He wanted to immediately go to find the other sowers and kill them. Shen Qingqiu said, "Slow down! There's something I want to say. ”
Mu Qingfang: "Shixiong, please speak. ”
Shen Qingqiu did not know how to say it. He hesitated for a moment and then said, “Luo Binghe is back. ”
The other reaction was not much. Among the three of them, Great Lord Wu Chen of the Zhao Hua Temple did not even know who Luo Binghe was. Mu Qingfang did not care much about anything except medicine at this time. Liu Qingge frowned, surprised: "Your disciple? Didn't he die at the hands of demons in the Eternal Sword Conference? "
Shen Qingqiu found it increasingly difficult to explain: ". she is not dead yet. He's back alive. "Unfortunately, he said," You and I will go to patrol the city first. When we get back, we'll talk. ”
Mu Qingfang: "Yes. I dealt with the remaining sowers before. Fewer people have to suffer now. I also have to go and see those patients. ”
When he said that, Shen Qingqiu recalled Mu Qingfang's shining silver surgical instrument set. He had a set of scalpels and needles that were all scattered as if performing an autopsy. There are also hundreds of bottles and jars in its infinite storage space, all well-labeled with descriptions of the contents and their effects. It was enough to make people pale or afraid because of his wits. He hoped that when a group of burly men strapped to the forging platform saw that, they would actually shout loudly enough to blow up the roof.
Shen Qingqiu let out a dry laugh and was about to follow Liu Qingge out of the basement. Suddenly, without warning, the sound of his own heartbeat seemed to be hundreds of times louder. Soon after, his movements became sluggish.
Liu Qingge immediately noticed the abnormality and asked, "What happened?"
Shen Qingqiu did not reply. Spiritual strength surged in his right hand but only a weak stream of spiritual energy passed through his body, unable to cause a spark.
I was at a tipping point, but now you're acting ?!
Mu Qingfang whispered, "Without Medicine. ”
Liu Qingge checked her pulse, paused for a moment, then firmly pressed her: “Sit. Wait ”
Waiting what?! Wait for Luo Binghe to knock on the door ?! Shen Qingqiu stood up: "I'll go with you. ”
Liu Qingge: "Don't get in the way. ”
You are the great ruler of Bai Zhan Peak. If you fly with me, who can stand in our way?
Mu Qingfang said: "Shen Shixiong, have you taken the medicine today?"
Shen Qingqiu really wanted to look up at the sky and shouted, "I haven't given up treatment!"
I am taking my medication on time this month! I also asked Liu to help clear my poison meridians in time. So why can it be explained now like a bolt from the blue ?! So confused!
Right at that time, the System notification reads: [Cool Points Protagonist +100]
Get lost!
Do you mean to say that “Shen Qingqiu is out of luck; the protagonist is so cool ”?!
Don't you dare to be so blurry! System, explain why you suddenly added points!
Mu Qingfang said: "Shen Shixiong should not force himself. Liu Shixiong only thought of your own kindness. It will be very harmful to your body if you run around when the poison is lit. Stay here and rest. I'm going to go take some medicine. Wait for Liu Shixiong to return and use his spiritual energy to help you get through the attack. ”
Shen Qingqiu stood up three times and was pressed back by Liu Qingge every time. Mu Qingfang's tone was like an adult scolding a brat. Shen Qingqiu said: "Alright. Liu Shidi, listen to me. The sower has red skin and is highly contagious. If you find anything suspicious that looks like it, don't rush there. Attacking from a distance. When you return, you must come to my room. I've got something important to talk to you about. ”
The last sentence is the most important. Shen Qingqiu deliberately emphasized those words.
Train the troops for a thousand days to use them for one morning! Liu, you have to protect me!
After the two people left the dungeon, Great Master Wu Chen said: "Shen Xianshi, don't you think this is strange? The demon world had been silent for a long time, but in the past few years, he had become active again. At the last Immortal Conference, many rare monsters came out again. And this time a sower who had not appeared for a hundred years appeared in Jinlan City. I'm afraid that's not a good sign. ”
Not only that, this sower has clearly been strengthened. Initially, there was no provision that an infected person could not move a certain distance from the sower. Shen Qingqiu shared the same feeling: "The Great Lord's hesitation is why I can't calm down. ”
Yes yes . Luo Binghe should have stayed in the ravine for two years, but she was released first. This particular circumstance cannot possibly be a good sign of things to come!
After Great Master Wu Chen was infected, he suffered great damage to his body and Qi. Immediately after their conversation, he became tired. Shen Qingqiu helped him lie down then tried to quietly sneak out of the basement. Wu Chen hid in the basement because he could not be seen outside. Shen Qingqiu's room was on the second floor of the weapon shop. Liu Qingge had not returned so she could not sleep yet. He just sat at the table in a daze. He thought sadly about a little lamb, Luo Binghe, who would call out "Shizun" all day. He even hoped this was a different story. Then he thought about Luo Binghe's black lotus that made people feel uncomfortable from head to toe. He almost wanted to pull his hair out.
After a while, someone knocked on the door. The beat is not light or heavy.
Shen Qingqiu stood up from the table and said: "Liu Shidi? I've been waiting for you in the middle of the night, come in! ”
Both sides of the door were suddenly slammed open.
Luo Binghe stood at the door of the room, supported by the boundless darkness, standing with her hands on her back, her lips slightly curved. His eyes were like a cold pool that was thousands of fathoms deep.
He narrowed his eyes and said, “Shizun, good night. ”
