Evil Strategies
chapter 35
Chapter 35 – Blackened reputation
Shen Qingqiu did not know how she could return to the Gold Weapon shop. He climbed into his room, still in a daze, and fell onto his bed. All he could think about was how the blood that had been poured into his stomach was now flowing all over his body. He threw and turned all night.
When the ancient demon blood left their bodies, it could still be manipulated by the heir of that lineage. If one drank it, death was not the only possible consequence. In fact, among the many possibilities, death was not even the worst.
For example, in the original novel, Luo Binghe could easily manipulate her blood in a variety of ways, including using it as a poison, a tracer, a brainwashing device and an**, a human parasitic blood mite, et cetera.
Shen Qingqiu was covered in cold sweat, half conscious and half asleep, until finally falling asleep at dawn. He had not slept for long when he was awakened by the sound of extremely loud cheers. He stumbled out of bed. Since he had fallen onto the bed with all his clothes, he did not need to dress himself. Just as he was about to open the door, it opened and an excited teenager rose in.
Yang Yixuan said happily, “The city gate is open! The city gate is open! "
Shen Qingqiu: "What?"
Yang Yixuan shouted, Those red “Monster have all been captured! Gate's open! Jinlan City has finally been saved! ”The thought of his father's sacrifice brought tears to his eyes. Shen Qingqiu had a splitting headache but she was still trying to comfort the teenager. He thought to himself, Very fast! They all got caught in just one night?
The moment the gate opened, the various cultivators who had been watching from the sidelines several miles outside the city crowded inside, gathering at the town square where Mu Qingfang distributed the pills he had prepared. The previously lifeless residents of Jinlan City were now full of joy. A total of seven sowers have been captured alive. They were currently continuously isolated in the enchanted barrier set by the Zhao Hua Temple.
Shen Qingqiu looked at Liu Qingge, who seemed to be deep in thought. Shen Qingqiu came up to him and patted him on the back, "What happened last night?"
Liu Qingge glanced at him and said darkly, "What happened to your disciple?"
Shen Qingqiu: "What is he doing?"
Liu Qingge said slowly, "Last night, she caught five, and I caught two. "He looked at Shen Qingqiu:" What happened during Luo Binghe's disappearing years? "
For someone who fought for the sake of killing with the Bai Zhan Peak Lord, and for this new suicidal fellow to truly win, it was impossible to win, it was something that could completely destroy the worldview of the Bai Zhan Peak disciples! It's so embarrassing and embarrassing!
Regarding the strength rankings of the two, the data was clear. Current situation is this – Luo Binghe: Liu Qingge \= 5:2 …
Suddenly, the noisy crowd of disciples simultaneously whispered and parted, consciously making room for a group of people. Not far from them, a group of leaders slowly walked forward. Yue Qingyuan and the Old Palace Master of Huan Hua Palace walked side by side while the chief cultivator of Tian Yi Monastery and Zhao Hua Temple walked close behind them.
Luo Binghe stood next to the Old Palace Master.
Under the morning sunlight, Luo Binghe looked refreshed and in high spirits. Shen Qingqiu compared Luo Binghe's appearance to her miserable state and felt depressed. Even Yue Qingyuan noticed. When the sect master approached, he looked at Shen Qingqiu for a while and said anxiously, "You look terrible. I shouldn't have let you come. ”
Shen Qingqiu forced herself to smile: "Only Mu Qingfang's patients kept me awake last night with their cries and wails. ”
When Mu Qingfang came back from distributing the pills, he was also shocked. “Senior apprentice brother, how is it possible? No matter how much noise I make there, you can't possibly be like this overnight. Are you taking the medicine I put in your room? ”
Shen Qingqiu said roughly, “I took it. I took it . “Don't ask me to take medicine again today!
Suddenly there was a commotion at the other end of the square. Sheng Qingqiu turned her head to look then suddenly felt an urge to put a hand on her forehead. He saw a middle-aged man mourning clothes leading a large group of men and women to kneel in front of Luo Binghe. It was the ruler of Jinlan City.
She was beside herself with excitement: “The immortal people sacrificed their lives to save this insignificant small town! There is no way we can repay your grace. In the future, if there is anything you need, we will do it even if we have to die for it! "
The corners of Shen Qingqiu twitched. This is really a standard novel plot. After capturing all the demons, the protagonist gathers followers and rewards. At this moment, the protagonist alone stole the spotlight, while the rest that helped was considered a mere background scene. Even if Shen Qingqiu herself did not contribute much, the two demons had been captured by Liu Qingge — and what about Mu Qingfang who was really focused on the distribution of medicines now?
Luo Binghe's response was also in line with the usual plot. He said humbly, “Master City, please, you have too much respect for me. Jinlan City survived this disaster thanks to the joint efforts of the cultivators of the various sects. It was not achieved due to the efforts of one person. ”
He speaks and behaves sincerely and politely, without disappointing others. He himself did not lose face, but the other sects were calm as well. The City Lord once again exploded with even more praise: “Last night, with my own eyes I saw this young master capture those evil demons. What a view! What a young hero! A great teacher produces amazing students! Old Palace Master, the successor of your people undoubtedly has good qualifications. ”
When Luo Binghe heard the words "a great teacher produces outstanding disciples," her smile deepened and, perhaps involuntarily, her gaze turned to someone. For a moment, his gaze landed on Shen Qingqiu's face as soft as a dragonfly touching the water, 1 but the latter spread his fan to avoid her gaze.
Palace Leader Huan Hua looked at Luo Binghe with admiration and fatherly affection in his eyes. Others might not understand the meaning of that liking gaze, but Shen Qingqiu knew very well that this was the proud expression of a teacher looking at the future successor of her + son-in-law.
Seven so-called sowers surrounded by a group of cultivators shouted cruel comments quite noisily, making the crowd anxious. Someone asked: "How should we handle these dirty things?"
Yue Qingyuan said: "Young junior apprentice brother, do you have any ideas?"
Shen Qingqiu muttered to herself: “Qingqiu has read some ancient books related to this matter. Sower afraid of high temperature. It seems that fire can burn away the corrosive qualities of their bodies. ”
Everyone understands that disinfection should be done at high temperatures. A shocked cultivator exclaimed: "This .. even if it's worth it, how can such a method be as brutal and cruel as the demons use?"
His voice was quickly drowned out by the angry cries of the surviving citizens of Jinlan city.
In the days when plague was rampant, countless innocent lives were lost and there was an ever-present spectacle, too terrible to bear, of the bodies of the decaying infected victims. The rich and busy trading center had become a deserted ghost town. Therefore, expressing sympathy to the sowers or upholding humanitarian principles on their behalf is unacceptable to the survivors of Jinlan City. The monks were quickly surrounded by many people shouting "burn them!" And "anyone who objects must also be burned!"
Most of the seven sowers inside the magic barrier bared their fangs and smiled viciously, showing no fear or weakness. Sheng Qingqiu guessed that they might consider themselves heroes who created a good harvest for the sake of the demon race. Only the smallest sower cries sadly.
After seeing it, some people began to sympathize. Qin Wanyue bit her lips and approached Luo Binghe: "Sister apprentice senior Luo, that little sower looked pitiful. ”
Luo Binghe smiled at him but did not reply.
In Shen Qingqiu's opinion, Luo Binghe's reaction to the girl was truly just of origin. That could be considered a failure! Based on the content of the original novel, shouldn't he take this opportunity to warmly express his feelings for her at this moment? Did Luo Binghe increase her leveling speed by sacrificing her harem master skills?
How could he deal with the head disciple of his family whose face, no matter from which angle one looked at it, always looked gentle like jade, confident, relaxed, and elegant? Qin Wanyue was fascinated. Forgetting the words he had just said, he was satisfied watching the crowd.
That's when something far more unexpected happens.
The little sower jumped up and hit the edge of the barrier. His red face became increasingly fierce as it howled. Her shout, “Eternal Master Shen, don't let them burn me to death. I beg you, Eternal Master Shen, please save me! ”
At that moment, Shen Qingqiu felt as if something in her brain had broken.
… Who are you?!!!
How could you casually approach and call me Immortal Master Shen when I don't even know you? !!
From all over, thousands of eyes turned to Shen Qingqiu.
The sower continued to roar: "All we do is listen to your instructions, but we never agree to be burned to death!"
… What the fuck is this !!!
Simple and rude accusations! What was the development of this godly plot like?
Shen Qingqiu felt like she needed a drink. What made him more in need of drink and drunken comfort were the words of the Old Palace Master: "The words that came out of the mouth of this thing, didn't Immortal Master Shen explain them?"
Low-level techniques and there are people who really believe in them ?!
Soon others echo, “Ya! Give us an explanation. ”
And there's more than one person!
The twelve peaks are always united in solidarity in the face of external threats. When this accusation was made, many of the faces of the cultivators of the Cang Qiong Mountain sect became furious. Yue Qingyuan's expression turned cold.
Qi Qingqi sneered: "Anyone with a brain can see that it is not suitable to die alone and want to take down someone to share his fate. It was just trying to trap him! Demons are all the same, they have no moral integrity. How could anyone take a bait like this? Don't make me laugh, this is ridiculous! ”
The Old Palace Master said softly, “Why is it not wrong to accuse others? It was chosen Immortal Master Shen. Useful to think about it. ”
Shen Qingqiu was overwhelmed by his logic. Based on this type of thinking, as long as one was chosen, the other person needed to think carefully about whether the person was innocent or not. The cost of framing people is also quite low.
Luo Binghe did not say a word, staring at the scene attentively. Perhaps it was only his imagination, but Shen Qingqiu always felt that her eyes were pitch-black like stars, and her smiling expression was full of satisfaction.
In the original novel, Shen Qingqiu was hated for her unforgivable crime of killing her own sect brother, killing Liu Qingge with her own hands. But now, Liu Qingge was standing beside him. If anyone tried to defeat Shen Qingqiu, perhaps Liu Qingge would protect her. The accusation will not hold water!
Could it be that since the stain on his reputation was not big enough, the false accusations would coalesce until his reputation was sufficiently tarnished?
Based on Luo Binghe's character after she blackened.
Suddenly, a disciple of Huan Hua Palace with a pockmarked face stood up. It was the disciple who sneered at Shen Qingqiu in the abandoned building that day. He bowed and said: "Master of the Palace, this disciple found something but did not know if it was inappropriate to speak. ”
Shen Qingqiu's face was expressionless as she said: "You said you 'don't know if it's inappropriate to talk' yet you've already spoken. Doesn't the hypocrite say that? ”Actually, isn't this the same as slapping yourself?
That disciple might not have expected that a senior cultivator would scold him. His face turned red then white until the spots on his face stood out, but he did not dare to scold him back. He had no other choice but to stare at Shen Qingqiu ferociously, saying: “Yesterday, this disciple and some senior apprentice brothers saw that there was a sign of a sower infection on Elder Shen's arm. We all saw it, but today those signs have completely disappeared! ”
"The Sect of Cang Qiong Mountain sent Senior Mu to announce that the pills distributed in the city were made in a hurry. It takes twenty-four hours of pills to take effect and they may not even work. Senior apprentice brother Luo took the pill in front of us, but the signs of infection to him have not gone away. Why was it that only Elder Shen recovered so quickly that the signs of his infection faded away? After all, this disciple found this matter extremely suspicious. ”
Shen Qingqiu quietly sighed in her heart. He should have known that Luo Binghe would not be kind enough to remove the infection from the goodness of his heart.
Yue Qingyuan spoke calmly and measuredly: "My junior-apprentice brother is in charge of Qing Jing Peak. As a High Prince, he had always been a good role model, a moral and immoral person. In the sect, everyone knows everything, we do not keep secrets from each other. You are too easily provoked by credible nonsense. ”
Even though Shen Qingqiu was thick-skinned, her face would turn red. Senior-apprentice brother, don't say that! Are you serious? If you had to act against your conscience this much to speak up and protect me, I would really feel bad about it! Whether it was the original or the current Shen Qingqiu, none of them could touch the tip of the sentence “noble and unblemished moral character. "Oh no, the original character can touch the third word.
The Old Palace Master said, “Really? It was very different from what I heard. ”
Shen Qingqiu's heart sank.
It seems that today he had to be dragged into the gutter.
