[R18] The self-rescue system of the reborn scum villain – “Rebirth of the Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System” Chapter 31 [English]

☆. Countdown to the male protagonist’s return (revision)

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three years, apart from asking Liu Qingge to help him unblock his meridians and cure poison from time to time, asking Mu Qingfang to help him prepare four herbs, and going up to Qingjing Peak to assign leveling tasks to his disciples, Shen Qingqiu spent most of his time wandering outside.

In his previous life, he stayed at home, playing games and reading novels. After being reborn here, all computer-related entertainment and pastimes were gone, and his interest in traveling was rekindled.The days passed leisurely until Yue Qingyuan suddenly called him back to Cangqiong Mountain with a flying letter.

At this time, he had not been seen for a long time. He suddenly returned to the mountain. The disciples of Qingjing Peak gathered under the mountain gate early to welcome the master.As soon as they saw Shen Qingqiu slowly climbing up the hillside, they all cheered and surrounded him.

The leader, Ming Fan, was already a tall young man. Although he could not be said to be handsome, at least he did not look like the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked, narrow-minded cannon fodder face he had in his youth.Ning Yingying grew into a beautiful young girl with a graceful figure. She also chose her own fairy sword from Wanjian Peak. As soon as she saw Shen Qingqiu, she rushed over to him, put her arm around him and walked up the ladder to heaven.

Although the sweet-smelling little girl likes to hug him, Shen Qingqiu can’t bear it, especially since Ning Yingying has grown well and is no longer the petite and exquisite lolita she used to be. Occasionally, her breasts will accidentally rub against he, making Shen Qingqiu expressionless and sweating.

I really don’t dare to think about Luo Binghe’s wife!

Ning Yingying said coquettishly: “Master, you are always away from the mountain. My disciples all miss you.”

Shen Qingqiu said lovingly: “Master, I also miss you… you.”

That’s not right.You should be thinking about Luo Binghe, what do you want to do with the scumbag villain!

Are Shen Qingqiu and Ning Yingying in the original work so close?It seems that after Ning Yingying grew up and became sensible, it was just Shen Qingqiu who coveted her unilaterally.

And as one of Luo Binghe’s wives, shouldn’t you have been unable to sleep at night or eat for five consecutive years?

Why do I look so fat now?

The disciples gathered around Shen Qingqiu to the top of the dome.Yue Qingyuan was still greeted outside the hall, and the two senior brothers entered the hall hand in hand.

In the dome hall, all the heads of the twelve peaks are already seated, and basically there are one or two close disciples of the peak master standing behind the seats.The only exception was Liu Qingge.

The traditional style of Baizhan Peak is a herding style of education, where everyone practices his or her own way. Except for the peak leader coming back from time to time to beat up a group of disciples, he basically doesn’t teach anything else. Until the disciples can beat the master back, the position of the peak leader can be handed over. So of course there are no close disciples.

Shen Qingqiu greeted them one by one and sat down at Qingjing Peak. Mingfan and Ning Yingying stood behind him.Opposite him are Qi Qingqi and Liu Mingyan from Xianshu Peak.

For some reason, a thought came to Shen Qingqiu’s mind: If Luo Binghe was still here, there would probably be no one else standing behind him.

Stop it, stop it!

It’s so annoying. Don’t always come out to show your presence, okay, male lead [manual bye]

Yue Qingyuan said at the head of the table: “This time I am summoning all my fellow disciples back urgently, just for one thing. Do you know where Jinlan City is?”

Shang Qinghua said: “Jinlan City?; I have heard a little bit about it. It is located in the Central Plains, at the intersection of the two major rivers Luochuan and Hengchuan. The city owner is focused on business and it is said to be very prosperous.”

Yue Qingyuan nodded and said, “That’s right. Jinlan City is accessible by water and land in all directions, and it has always been a gathering place for merchants from all over the world. However, two months ago, Jinlan City was closed.” After a pause, he added: “Not only is the city gate closed, no entry or exit is allowed, letters are not allowed to be delivered.”

It is unreasonable for a well-established commercial city to suddenly close down, just like a financial center suddenly cutting off all communications with the rest of the world.There is definitely more to it.

Shen Qingqiu picked up the tea cup at hand, scraped the tea leaves on the surface, and said: “Jinlan City is the closest to Zhaohua Temple, and the impression is that there are very close contacts. If something really happened, the masters in the temple should be aware of the abnormality.”

Yue Qingyuan said: “Yes, twenty days ago, a Jinlan City businessman escaped from the city by water and rushed to Zhaohua Temple for help.”

He used the word “escape”, it seems that the situation is really serious.Everyone became solemn.

Yue Qingyuan continued: “The middle-aged man was originally the owner of the No. 1 weapons shop in Jinlan City. He offered incense at Zhaohua Temple all year round and was known to many monks in the temple. He was wrapped tightly in black cloth at the time, with only half of his face exposed. When he arrived at Zhaohua Temple, he was exhausted and fell in front of the mountain steps. He repeatedly said that there was a terrible plague in the city. The monk protecting the mountain immediately took himHe carried it into the main hall and reported it to the host.By the time the host and several masters came out, it was already too late.”

Dead?

Yue Qingyuan said slowly: “The businessman has turned into a white skeleton.”

Shen Qingqiu was horrified.

Just now, he said that he had fought tooth and nail to escape to the temple gate, how could he turn into a skeleton in the blink of an eye?

Shen Qingqiu pondered: “Senior brother just said that the businessman is wrapped in black cloth? Wrapped from head to toe?”

Yue Qingyuan said: “Exactly. During this period, a monk wanted to help him remove the black cloth, but when he touched it, he screamed and screamed in unbearable pain, so he didn’t dare to pull it forcefully.”

Listening to this description, it sounds like he is tearing off his skin.

Yue Qingyuan continued: “The abbots of Zhaohua Temple were deeply disturbed. After discussion, they sent masters Wu Chen, Wu Huan, and Wu Nian to investigate overnight. They have not returned yet.”

Compared with Shen Qingqiu and others, the masters of the Wuzi generation are only higher in seniority, and they are not much worse in terms of cultivation.Shen Qingqiu was slightly surprised and asked: “No one has come back?”

Yue Qingyuan nodded solemnly and said, “Huanhua Palace and Tianyi Temple also sent more than a dozen disciples. Again, they never returned.”

All three of the four major sects have been dragged into the water, and Shen Qingqiu immediately understood what he was doing on this trip today.

Sure enough, Yue Qingyuan said: “In desperation, fellow Taoists from other sects sent letters and sent envoys to Cangqiong Mountain to request support. Support is certain, but the matter is serious and there may be foreign gangsters behind it to stir up trouble. If someone goes, someone must stay behind.”

Needless to say, this “foreign race” definitely refers to the demon race.Liu Qingge was the first to say: “Baizhan Peak is obligated. I am willing to escort Junior Brother Mu there.”

Since there is a plague in the city, Mu Qingfang from Qiancao Peak must go out.Shen Qingqiu took a look and saw that the two people who were going there, one responsible for decoction for him and the other responsible for helping him open his spiritual veins, were both gone. There was no aura of the protagonist to protect his body. It was really worrying that there might be some shortcomings. If he didn’t keep an eye on it, he hurriedly added: “Qingqiu is willing to go together.”

Yue Qingyuan hesitated and said, “My original intention was to arrange for you to guard the mountain.”

Shen Qingqiu doesn’t know how to deal with him yet, so he can just keep pestering him: “Brother, why do you think I’m so weak? Even though Qingqiu is not talented, he knows a little bit about the demon species. If they are really causing trouble, he can be somewhat helpful.”

The mobile encyclopedia related to demons, whether original or in stock, can definitely bear this title.The books and information in Qingjing Peak that had been accumulated for hundreds of years and that the previous peak masters were not allowed to take the throne until they were read were all piled up behind the bamboo house… Yue Qingyuan thought that letting him and Liu Qingge and Mu Qingfang act together would be more convenient to suppress the strange poison of the demons in him, and the master of Baizhan Peak could also protect him during a fight. So, he finally decided to divide into three groups, with Liu Mu and Shen as the pioneers, to go to Jinlan City to investigate first.The second batch is outside and will be moved according to the situation.The third group stayed at Cangqiong Mountain.

The situation was urgent and there was no time for a leisurely ride. Shen Qingqiu was not used to wielding a sword alone and was even a little afraid of heights, but he knew that he had to follow the pace of the large army at this time.Less than half a day after the three men set off with their swords, Shen Qingqiu lifted up the hem of Xunxun’s fluttering skirt, looked down from above the clouds, and shouted to his two classmates: “Below is the intersection of Luochuan and Hengchuan!”

Looking down from a high altitude, there are indeed two rivers crossing each other.It looks like two winding, long and slender silver ribbons, shining in the sun, like silver scales dancing wildly.

One of them is Luochuan, who was given the surname Luo Binghe when Luo Binghe was born.

The three of them chose an open and flat hilltop as a landing point.From here, you can faintly see the cornices of Jinlan City in the distance, as well as the closed city gates and the raised river bridge.

Shen Qingqiu lowered his sun-shading hand from his brow: “Why don’t we fly directly into the city?”

Mu Qingfang explained: “Zhaohua Temple once responded to the request of the Lord of Jinlan City and set up a giant barrier covering the sky for them, prohibiting fairy swords or anything with spiritual energy and demonic energy from flying above, otherwise they will be deflected.”

Shen Qingqiu was familiar with Zhaohua Temple’s ability to set up barriers, and the Immortal Alliance Conference used the barrier heavenly group.If they rank second, no one dares to rank first.Shen Qingqiu stopped asking questions and thought to himself that if this plague was not a normal plague, but a deliberate mischief by someone with ulterior motives, he must have entered through the city gate.

Since you can’t airborne or enter through the gate, there must be another way.Sure enough, Mu Qingfang, who had been explained in detail by Yue Qingyuan, led the two of them into a forest, where the sound of gurgling water could be heard amidst the green shade.

The sound came from a low cave.Mu Qingfang called the two of them over and said, “There is an underground river here. The underground river can lead to the city.”

Shen Qingqiu understood clearly: “Did that weapons shop merchant escape from here?”

Mu Qingfang nodded: “Some merchants doing underground business will meet here or transport goods. Not many people know this road, but the weapons merchant has good friends with several abbots of Zhaohua Temple and has confided some information.”

The entrance to the cave was covered with green vines and was only chest high. The three of them had to bend down to enter. After walking for a while, Shen Qingqiu’s waist ached, and he finally felt that his head was spacious.The water turned to a gurgling sound.Beside the river bed, there were a few broken and lonely boats.

Shen Qingqiu chose a boat that was a little better and would not leak. With a flick of his fingertips, a ball of fire ignited in the dead lamp hanging on the bow of the boat.

There is only one oar.Shen Qingqiu made a “please” gesture and said to Liu Qingge: “This is the countercurrent. Rowing into the city will definitely require the person with the strongest arm strength among us. Junior brother, please?”

Liu Qingge took the slender pole with a dark face and started rowing without complaint.With each stroke, the boat’s hull jumped forward.The lights on the bow of the boat were creaking and shaking.

Shen Qingqiu sat down comfortably and Lamu Qingfang took a glimpse of the water beside the boat. He could actually see a few swimming fish flicking past merrily, and said smoothly: “The water is so clear.”

Just after saying this, a larger puddle of things floated behind the swimming fish.

A body buried face down in the water.
