Chapter 6 A Bad Start
Having learned his lesson, Shen Qingqiu kept a straight face for the rest of the journey, and finally arrived at Shuanghu City without incident.
Although this city is not big, it is still prosperous. After entering the city, he stayed in the mansion of the richest man in the city, Mr. Chen, who was in charge of sending people to the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect for help.
Mr. Chen's two beloved concubines were both killed by the Skinning Demon, and he was really looking forward to Shen Qingqiu's arrival. He touched the white jade-like little hand of the beautiful concubine in the third room, and sighed and burst into tears at the group of people.
"The Immortal must make the decision for us! Now I don't dare to let Die'er leave my side at all, for fear that she will be careless and be killed by the monsters and monsters that kill me!"
Shen Qingqiu's face twitched with a strong sense that the NPC lines were instantaneous.
He doesn't like seeing a sixty-year-old man and a teenage girl making love to each other in front of him at all!
Fortunately, Shen Qingqiu still had the aura of being a master. After a brief meeting, he went into the room very coldly, leaving only Ming Fan and Mr. Chen to chat. An expert just has privileges, and others who are aloof don't dare to say anything. The colder he is, the more admiring eyes surround him.
Ning Yingying knocked on the door and came in, asking sweetly: "Master, Yingying wants to go out to the market. Master, do you want to come and accompany me?"
To be honest, every man doesn't like Loli acting sweetly and coquettishly towards him. Shen Qingqiu originally had his back to her, and was half-hearted when he was called. He turned to the other half, assuming the image of a perfect intellectual with a scroll and looking back, cold and desireless, and said calmly: "If Yingying wants to go out for a walk, Just ask all the brothers and sisters to accompany you. Before we deal with the skinning demon, I still have something to do."
Doesn't Shen Qingqiu still know who she will find to accompany her?
Doesn't he want to go out and play? The literary master who was previously bored in the bamboo house at Qingjing Peak, pretending to be a high-class person every day, did everything "indifferently", talking indifferently, smiling indifferently, practicing swordsmanship indifferently, pretending to be indifferent - he was so indifferent I often have the urge to sprinkle a handful of salt on myself, it hurts! After finally taking a trip to the mountains, he was trapped in a room by the system because "the initial setting is that Shen Qingqiu likes to be quiet and does not want to join in the fun in crowded places." He didn't even want to pretend to meditate anymore, so he simply pretended to be dead while lying on the bed. Before sunset, Mingfan came into the room to report to him.
Finally, someone came to talk to him. Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but burst into tears. Welfare belongs to the male protagonist, and loneliness belongs to the cannon fodder. It's not their place to go shopping with Loli and watch the lanterns.
Mingfan said: "Disciple has carefully examined the body." He presented the things in his hands with a serious look.
Shen Qingqiu took a closer look and saw that they were two stacks of yellow talisman papers written with cinnabar. The paper had turned into a rotten black color: "Did you use these talisman papers to test the demonic energy of the corpse?"
Mingfan said: "Master has a sharp eye. These talisman disciples have used these talismans in two places. One is the soil next to the grave of the woman who has been buried, and the other is the body that has not yet been buried in the grave."
Even the soil next to the tomb was soaked in demonic energy. Now it was confirmed that the skinned demon was undoubtedly a demon. Finally he knew what he was dealing with.
Shen Qingqiu cleared his throat, making the next "hum" sound even colder: "You dare to kill the people below the mountain within a hundred miles of the Cangqiong Mountain boundary. Since these little demons have barged into the door themselves, they can't blame me for sending disciples to replace them. God is on his way."
Believe him, he really doesn't want to say such vulgar lines to cope with the situation. But don’t say you will>
Mingfan's eyes were full of admiration: "Master is wise! If Master takes action, he will be able to take down the monster with one blow and eliminate harm for the people!"
"..."
It seems that this pair of master and apprentice used to be in the "you dominate and I worship" mode, and they cooperated quite happily.
To be honest, from Shen Qingqiu's point of view, he was too satisfied with Mingfan as his apprentice. Although he is a rich young master who is used to being arrogant, he does not dare to show off his arrogance in front of his master. Instead, he obeys orders and is respectful. A man will never dislike others treating him like a god. Mingfan also took care of all the arrangements for food and accommodation during the long trip. If it weren't for the fact that when he meets the protagonist, his business quotient will drop due to force majeure and he turns into a school bully who does all kinds of evil, he would still be a promising young man!
Moreover, Shen Qingqiu always felt sympathy for this cannon fodder disciple who was finally thrown into a worm pit by Luo Binghe and killed by thousands of ants...
"I came down the mountain this time for training. I will not help you unless it is absolutely necessary. Mingfan, as the eldest disciple, you must make careful arrangements to not let that monster hurt your fellow disciples."
"Yes! The disciple has already set up a formation, as long as the monster..."
Before Mingfan could finish speaking, a man burst into the door and interrupted him. Luo Binghe shouted with a pale face: "Master!"
Shen Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be cold on his face: "Why are you shouting and so panicked?"
Luo Binghe said: "Senior sister Ning Yingying and my disciples went out to the market in the city during the day. In the evening, I urged senior sister to come back, but she refused, and for some reason disappeared in the blink of an eye. Disciple... searched the whole street, looking for If not, I have no choice but to come back and seek help from Master.”
Missing someone at this critical stall is no joke. It's getting dark! Mingfan jumped up on the spot: "Luo Binghe! You..."
Shen Qingqiu quickly waved his sleeves, and the tea cup on the desk exploded. Not only did it act as a deterrent without OOC, but it also prevented Ming Fan from committing suicide in time.
He pretended to hold back his anger: "The matter has come to an end, and there is no point in talking more. Luo Binghe, come with me. Mingfan, take a few junior brothers with you and ask Chen Yuanwai for help, and let's search for your junior sister together."
Mingfan reluctantly agreed and hurried out. Luo Binghe lowered his head and said nothing.
Shen Qingqiu knows that this is definitely not his fault, because Ning Yingying is not only a cute and cute female character, but also a female character who is trying to kill herself. In the original work, she was born because she suddenly disappeared or stabbed Lou Zi at a critical moment. The twists and turns, to say the least, dragged out the plot for a hundred chapters. Sometimes Shen Qingqiu also admires Luo Binghe. He takes over the harem with great aura and refuses to accept anyone who comes. He dares to take in anyone who can cause trouble, and he has not been tricked to death. I can only say that the protagonist is really cool, domineering and awesome. . Most people can't bear such stunning beauty.
Luo Binghe originally thought that Shen Qingqiu wanted to beat him up by leaving him here, so he whispered: "This matter is all the disciple's fault, and the master will punish her. The disciple has no complaints or regrets. I just want to find Senior Sister Ning safely."
Shen Qingqiu saw how pitiful he was and wanted to touch his head, but due to the existence of the system, he forcibly held back and said coldly: "Come here. Take me to the place where you and your senior sister were lost."
Luo Binghe and Ning Yingying got separated in the busiest area of the market.
Shen Qingqiu closed his eyes, feeling a hint of demonic energy. Following the demonic energy that seemed to break at any moment, Shen Qingqiu found that when he opened his eyes again, he was standing in front of a rouge shop.
Shen Qingqiu: "..."
Could it be that the murderer is from Rouge Shop? So simple?
However, after entering the rouge shop, the demonic energy died again and completely dissipated.
Or maybe the murderer is not hiding in Rouge Shop, but just visited once recently? Enter the rouge shop... Is the skinning demon a woman?
Shen Qingqiu speculated for a while, then called Luo Binghe to go in and ask a few questions, but to no avail.
This kind of mission was created solely to level him up, and there was no original plot to refer to. Shen Qingqiu also considered himself not a master of reasoning with meticulous thinking and reasoning. In the past, he would be trapped to death even if he tried to escape from an escape room or solve a crime. When he was troubled, the system gave him a considerate reminder: [Be aware of your progress. If you encounter difficulties, should you pay 100B grid value and turn on the simple mode? 】
Shen Qingqiu: "Damn it, you didn't tell me there was a simple mode earlier! Go ahead!"
His eyes were fixed on the "yes" option for three seconds, and then the option turned green and disappeared. Then, a certain smell made his skin crawl.
What a strong demonic energy!
It’s like being afraid that others won’t be able to find their target!
Simple mode, don’t deceive me!
Shen Qingqiu was not ashamed of the simple mode at all, and happily walked in the direction where the demonic energy spread. After five hundred steps, he gradually deviated from the city area and came to an abandoned house.
No more running, this is it! Look at that pale paper lantern, look at that dilapidated door! Are there any proper haunted houses?
Shen Qingqiu adjusted his expression and told Luo Binghe, who was following him all the way silently: "Go back to Chen Mansion, inform Ming Fan, bring all the magic weapons and fellow apprentices, and come together."
Before Luo Binghe could answer, his pupils suddenly shrank.
When Shen Qingqiu saw him staring directly behind him, he knew something was wrong. However, it was too late after all. A gust of wind blew through and the door slammed open.
"Master, Master, wake up quickly!"
Shen Qingqiu woke up.
After waking up, he saw Luo Binghe with an anxious look on his face, being tied up by Wu Hua Da on the opposite side. Seeing Shen Qingqiu waking up, he seemed to be relieved, his eyes lit up, and he called Master again.
And Ning Yingying was tied to him, crying and crying: "Master."
Shen Qingqiu felt a little dizzy, and he didn't know if the monster spray had any side effects.
He was in a bad mood.
This simple mode is really simple and crude! Send him directly to the mouth of the little boss!
The worst thing is that the dignified master of Qingjing Peak was knocked down by a small BOSS in front of his disciples, so as soon as he woke up, the system gave a harsh prompt: [OOC, B box-50. 】
Just now I paid 100B grid to enable the simple mode, and in the blink of an eye, another 50B grid was deducted. How is it possible to say that I don't feel bad. Originally, relying on Shen Qingqiu's original strength to deal with monsters was like using a bull's-eye to kill a chicken; what's shameful is that the bull's-eye hasn't killed the chicken yet.
But soon, he discovered something that made him feel even worse.
He felt something was wrong with his body, it was cold, and there was a slight pain. Looking down, he almost couldn't help but blurt out the word "fuck".
he! quilt! Steak! Light! Got it!
