The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

With Gongyi Xiao's guidance, the three of them quickly broke through the palace-protecting formation of the Huanhua Palace and found the correct location.

The original work does not describe much about the specific place where Sun Moon Dew Huazhi grows, only briefly mentioning that "it was a cave covered in dense greenery." Shang Qinghua really risked his life in order to remember such a little bit of content. After all, this thing is not for Luo Binghe, but arranged for one of Luo Binghe's enemies.

And because of this, Shen Qingqiu dared to take action. If it was related to the main plot, or if it was for Luo Binghe to use for leveling up, he wouldn't have the guts to grab it. The end result of competing for resources with the male protagonist is not as sweet as stealing the chicken but losing the rice. Since we are both villains, it shouldn’t be a problem if we just grab them!

Fortunately, although Bailu Forest is large, there is only one cave, which saves a lot of trouble.

Shen Qingqiu snapped his fingers, and a cluster of bright yellow flames jumped up from his fingertips. With another flick, the flame swung its tail and swam deeper into the dark and damp cave, opening a path ahead.

The rock path at the beginning can only accommodate three people walking abreast. Later, it becomes narrower and you have to walk sideways to pass. It has nine twists and turns, as if it were the intestines of a giant beast.

The light was dim, and even the flame that Shen Qingqiu transformed into flickered on and off. He flicked out a few more fireballs, and several fireballs chased each other. After Gongyi Xiao died, Shang Qinghua wanted to wait outside the cave, but Shen Qingqiu brought him in. I don't know if he was scared or something, but he would touch Shen Qingqiu's arm from time to time, which would give him goosebumps.

Finally, Shen Qingqiu couldn't bear it any longer. Since there were still outsiders around, he whispered, "Can you please stop pinching me?"

no respond. But I didn’t touch it. Shen Qingqiu continued to grope forward, but who knew that Shang Qinghua kicked his calf again.

Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but blurt out: "Fuck!"

Shang Qinghua's voice came from far behind: "Brother Shen! What did you say?"

His voice echoed in the winding rock path and seemed to be stretched a lot. Unknowingly, Shen Qingqiu was walking faster and faster, and Shang Qinghua was dilly-dallying again. Even Gongyi Xiao, who was blocked at the end, could not walk fast. He had already left the other two people behind for a long time.

If it wasn't Shang Qinghua, then who was the person who had been touching him just now?

In other words, what is the thing that touches him?

Shen Qingqiu stopped suddenly.

He patted his arm expressionlessly, trying to shake off the goosebumps.

Several flames were still hanging in the air, burning faintly.

The enemy is dark, but we are clear.

Shen Qingqiu turned his left hand and silently pulled out several talismans from his sleeve. He slowly pulled out Xiu Ya with his right hand. The light of the sword gradually became brighter. No matter in front or behind, there were dark rocks exuding a wet fishy smell.

He suddenly remembered that the blow to his calf just now didn't seem to have been caused by a kick. Instead, it was more like...a head-butt!

Shen Qingqiu lowered his head sharply, and his eyes met a pale and swollen face on the ground.

Shen Qingqiu used his left hand to hit the talisman on the face, and in an instant, the narrow rock passage exploded into a ball of lightning and fire. He wanted to draw his sword, but he didn't expect that the space was too narrow. Before he could draw it halfway, his right arm hit the rock wall, and the hilt of the sword also hit the rock, making a clanging sound.

The thing was soft and boneless, gliding on the ground like a giant snake. It dodged extremely quickly. Even at such a close distance, the spell didn't hit it. Instead, it moved more nimbly than him. Shen Qingqiu was only one step late in drawing the sword, and it turned around and crawled away. Behind them was the direction that Shang Qinghua and Gongyi Xiao were following. He shouted: "Watch out! Something has passed!"

When Shang Qinghua heard this, he immediately turned around and said: "Young hero, hurry up! Let's change positions!" How can a person who does logistics work stand at the forefront of the charge?

Gongyi Xiao did as he was told, but the rock path was so narrow that it was only wide enough for a person to walk, so he couldn't pass it. Shang Qinghua heard Shen Qingqiu yelling over there: "On the ground! Look at the ground! It's crawling on the ground!" When he turned around, he saw a snake-man slithering over.

Shang Qinghua made a quick decision and lay down immediately!

Gongyi Xiao had never seen such a weird monster before. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Senior Shang lying on the ground. His face twitched, he reacted, said: "Offended!" and jumped over...

No matter how ugly it is, the backline and the forwards have finally exchanged positions...

Shen Qingqiu shouted again: "Don't draw the sword..." Before he finished saying the word "sword", Gongyi Xiao drew the sword in a daze. Of course, he made the same mistake again. Halfway through, the sword hilt hit the rock wall.

Shen Qingqiu rushed over with his sword in hand and blurted out: "Hey, you're stupid!"

Gongyi Xiao was wronged. In fact, Shen Qingqiu also knew that it was just because he reacted too quickly and took action before he finished listening to the instructions. This would be the result for anyone else. However, in the past, when Luo Binghe and Luo Binghe occasionally joined hands, Shen Qingqiu could not help but think of Luo Binghe's words again without saying a word. Heart and benefits come.

The rock path was twisted and dark, which was very conducive to the movement of that thing. Shen Qingqiu grabbed another handful of talismans, and it had long since crawled out of sight. Gongyi Xiao said in disbelief: "Senior Shen, that...snake just now, is it the monster you encountered in Bailu Forest before?"

Shen Qingqiu said: "That's it. I don't know how this thing slipped away when attacked from both sides."

Shang Qinghua didn't change his expression, climbed up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Climb over next to me."

Gongyi Xiao: "..."

Shen Qingqiu: "...Let's go. I'm following you closely this time."

Needless to say, this time, Shang Qinghua refused to stay more than two feet away from him!

After turning their heads until they were almost dizzy, the three of them finally got out of the rock passage. Deep in the cave, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

Shen Qingqiu had always been puzzled before. The deepest part of this cave should be without sunlight and moonlight. Why can "Sun and Moon Dew Huazhi" grow? This thing that is said to be the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can grow. Now he finally understands.

It turns out that there is a big hole at the highest point on the top of this cave. The sunlight and moonlight are directly cast through this hole, like a stage spotlight, hitting a point in the center of the lake in the cave.

And the small mound surrounded by a small lake with bright crystal light is naturally the Feng Shui treasure land that breeds Sun and Moon Dew Huazhi.

Shang Qinghua affirmed: "Dew Lake. That's right."

Found the right place. Shen Qingqiu was relieved after getting confirmation.

This is not ordinary lake water. It is rootless morning dew. Rootless water + morning dew, full of spiritual energy, nourishes Sun and Moon Dew Huazhi. When the meat ganoderma matures, its roots soak in water and soil, which in turn nourishes the dew. This cycle repeats itself, and the spiritual energy is endless and never exhausted.

While admiring the wonders, Gong Yi Xiao finally understood the purpose of the two peak masters of Cang Qiong Mountain.

But he was still a little surprised. Cang Qiong Mountain is also a large sect that produces immortal herbs and elixirs, and the rare and precious flowers collected every day are no less. Although this Ganoderma is exquisite and rare, it does not look like it can make people immortal or directly break through to ascend to heaven. Why bother the two peak masters to come all the way to pick it in person.

Shen Qingqiu now only has the white little meat ganoderma in the middle of the lake in his eyes. He swung his hem and stepped into the lake resolutely. After walking a dozen steps, the dew covered his waist, not warm or cold, soaking the skin, as if it could moisturize the heart.

Although these Ganoderma are still small and look like bean sprouts, he will find a place with abundant spiritual energy and good feng shui to plant them, and then grow them according to the plan...

Looking at the dozens of white and tender little Luzhi on the small mound, Shen Qingqiu hesitated. After all, Luzhi growing here is also a wonder, and it seems a bit unfair to pull them all out. But think about it, if you don't pull them out now, they will be pulled out by other villains in the future, which is even more unfair. And if you mess up and destroy the seeds, you can always make up for it with a few more, but you have to be safe and be safe.

Having made up his mind, he carefully pulled up each one with a little soil and put it into his sleeve.

The last Luzhi was pinched in his hand, and before he threw it into his sleeve, Shen Qingqiu suddenly heard the sound of a sword being drawn behind him.

When he turned around, Gong Yixiao was holding a sword in his hand, staring at him intently.

Shen Qingqiu originally thought that Gong Yixiao was protesting against his behavior of picking flowers and plants randomly, but when he looked at Shang Qinghua again, he saw that he was in the same state. He knew something had changed and held his breath.

Suddenly, a long and huge thing jumped out of the lake, like a giant fish, and pounced on Shen Qingqiu head-on.

A pale and wooden face flew towards them. It was the thing that had followed them all the way!

At the same time, Gong Yixiao had completed the sword formula in his hand, and the long sword flew towards the thing at lightning speed. But it missed Shen Qingqiu as soon as it pounced, and sank into the lake, no longer floating up, stirring up the sand that had settled on the bottom of the lake for many years, making it turbid. Gong Yixiao recalled the immortal sword and said, "Senior Shen, come up quickly!"

Shen Qingqiu smiled and said, "Don't panic. I'm catching fish for fun."

He stood still and slowly took out a talisman from his arms.

Gong Yixiao said, "One talisman may not be enough to deal with this thing..."

Before the word "enough" came out, Shen Qingqiu rubbed the talisman like rubbing RMB, and one talisman instantly became a dozen. Shen Qingqiu grabbed the talisman and punched it into the water.

Several loud noises!

Twelve water splashes over ten feet high exploded on the lake surface.

The snake man who was hiding at the bottom of the lake was also blown out of the water, thrown high, and fell heavily on the ground at Shang Qinghua's feet.

Shen Qingqiu came to the shore dripping wet. Gong Yixiao got a signal from him and turned the thing over with the hilt of the sword.

Once it was turned over, the three of them were horrified.

After a long while, Shen Qingqiu turned around and asked Shang Qinghua: "What is this?"

Shang Qinghua squeezed out three words: "...I don't know!"

He really didn't know.

This creature vaguely looked like a human, with long hair, cartilage all over, rough and hard skin, and scales all over it, like a python that had not been cleanly scaled.

Although Shen Qingqiu thought it was a female ghost before, looking closely at its face, although swollen, it could still be vaguely seen that it looked like a man.

Shang Qinghua looked at Shen Qingqiu with an inquiring look: "...Do I have it?" Have I ever written such a thing?

Shen Qingqiu: "...Probably not." If the original work described it in more than ten words, there is no reason why he would not remember it!

Both of them looked at Gong Yixiao eagerly. Gong Yixiao could not recognize it either, and felt slightly embarrassed: "Even the two immortal masters do not know this thing, let alone this junior."

Shang Qinghua suddenly said: "Let me say something. In fact, this monster may not be born like this."

It makes sense. Looking at its strange shape, it does not look like a normal creature, but more like a deformed species, or a hybrid.

Shen Qingqiu pondered and said: "Heavenly punishment, curse, or a cultivator who failed to practice forbidden techniques."

Gong Yixiao said: "The above three situations are indeed likely to create this kind of monster."

Hearing the word "monster", the snake man on the ground seemed a little manic, and the tail-like thing slapped the ground frantically. Shang Qinghua quickly dodged, “Young Master Gongyi, Young Master Gongyi, please don’t talk nonsense. It seems to understand you. Change the words, change the words!”

It kept staring at Shen Qingqiu's sleeves. Shen Qingqiu noticed that although this thing looked hideous and disgusting, the eyes in the messy hair were actually extremely clear, exactly like the Dew Lake.

Shen Qingqiu suddenly realized: "No wonder it wants to attack us. Look." He pointed: "Its eyes. They are probably shaped like this by drinking rootless morning dew every day. Looking at the scales, there are some green and reddish in the gaps. The moss is the same as that on the rock wall. This cave is where it often comes and goes. Maybe it lives on the spiritual dew of Lushui Lake."

And if the Sun Moon Dew Flower Zhi is harvested, it is equivalent to destroying the power of spiritual energy circulation, and the Dew Lake will gradually run out of spiritual energy, become a pool of wastewater, and even dry up. That's why this thing follows you all the way, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Gongyi Xiao asked: "Senior Shen, if the monster drinks dew for a living, wouldn't it be more sensible to eat it directly? Why didn't it pick off these dew seeds before?"

Shen Qingqiu said: "We were entangled by it all the way in the Bailu Forest before. Once, it was burned by the sunlight reflected by the sword, and then we retreated. I'm afraid this thing can't see light, especially sunlight and moonlight. That's why it You can only move in the shades of trees, caves, or underwater." He pointed to the beam of light coming from the cave's dome: "Lu Zhi is shrouded in the light of the sun and moon all day and night, so of course he is not allowed to get close."

To verify, he picked up a young Luzhi and shook it. Sure enough, the snake man's eyes shone, and he raised his head eagerly, revealing a mouth of strong white teeth.

Seeing this, Gongyi Xiao stabbed the hilt of his sword and turned it over. The snake man struggled to crawl on the ground, but couldn't turn over. Gongyi Xiao Jianfeng came down and seemed to pierce it. Shen Qingqiu saw this and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute."

Sure enough, Gongyi Xiao stopped and asked in confusion: "Senior?"

Shen Qingqiu said tactfully: "You said that the people within several miles of Bailu Forest have never been attacked by monsters?"

"good."

"This means that it has never done any evil. So there is no need to kill them all. Speaking of which, it comes to this cave every day to collect dew. Instead, my group and I broke in and disturbed it."

Now that the senior has spoken, Gongyi Xiao must certainly listen. Besides, this is true. If this monster really killed people, Huanhua Palace would have discovered it long ago and eradicated it. Precisely because you never do anything, you will not die. He sheathed his sword and saw Shen Qingqiu gazing lovingly at the creature on the ground, assuming that he, like the masters of Zhaohua Temple, believed in compassion. Little did he know that the attraction of this unknown creature to Shen Qingqiu was just like the attraction of girls in bloom to ordinary readers of the terminal.

But until everyone left the depths of the cave, no one noticed that the struggling snake man on the ground had stopped and was trembling slightly.

The deformed body secretly suppressed a weak Luzhi seedling. There seemed to be a raging fire burning in those incongruously bright eyes.

After leaving Bailu Forest, Gongyi Xiao invited the two of them to sit in the Huanhua Palace and informed the old palace master along the way. Shen Qingqiu declined: "It's over, I already have your help, so I won't bother you any more."

Just kidding, why are you going to Huanhua Palace? Let’s hold a sesame appreciation party together? What if your senior management can't think of it and insist on discussing its ownership?

Seeing that Gongyi Xiao still wanted to stay, Shang Qinghua said: "I won't do it this time. I want to sit on Gongyi Young Hero next time. In the future, when you come to Cangqiong Mountain and go up to Qingjing Peak and sit there again, you, Senior Shen, will definitely take good care of you." ”

Shen Qingqiu glanced at him. Shang Qinghua shut up immediately.

Shen Qingqiu then adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Shang is right. Qingjing Peak will be waiting for you."

Gongyi Xiao knew that Qingjing Peak, as its name suggests, likes peace and quiet and does not like to be disturbed by outsiders. He was not sure whether it was a polite comment, but he also smiled: "I have remembered what Senior Shen said. Maybe he will really bother me in the future." Machine. Who should I hand the invitation to at that time?”

Shen Qingqiu said without hesitation: "Give me my disciple Luo Bing..."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around. The atmosphere has become a little tense.

After being stuck for a moment, Shen Qingqiu slowly flapped the folding fan twice, then picked it up: "... He's senior brother Mingfan."

Gongyi Xiao's psychological activities are very complicated.

It was rumored that the leader of Qingjing Peak had been immersed in grief and grief for a long time after losing his beloved disciple at the Immortal Alliance Conference. He was in a state of despair. Now it seems that he still has not accepted the fact that Luo Binghe has left. Maybe he wasn't here to collect sesame seeds at all this time, but just to relax and let him temporarily forget about Luo Binghe's existence. Otherwise, why did the two peak masters need to come? Senior Shang must be here to watch Senior Shen and prevent him from doing stupid things. Unexpectedly, even though I was forcing myself to smile all the way, I would still be saddened by which pot I didn’t drink and which pot I didn’t pick up... As expected, the master-disciple relationship is deep!

Until they parted ways, Gongyi Xiao still looked back at Shen Qingqiu every ten steps, his eyes filled with complex emotions of embarrassment, sympathy, sadness, and admiration. Shen Qingqiu was a little creeped out by him.

He just didn't pay attention for a moment. What kind of plot did Gongyi Xiao have in mind?

Shang Qinghua sighed: "It's true. It turns out it's true."

Shen Qingqiu kicked him neither gently nor hard: "What is true or false?"

Shang Qinghua: "I have been observing you for a long time, and I have something to say, and I feel uncomfortable keeping it in my heart and not saying it. Brother Gua, do you really treat Luo Binghe as your darling, beloved disciple?"

He analyzed it rationally: "I heard from you Qingjing Peak disciples that in the days after returning from the Immortal Alliance Conference, Senior Brother Shen was in a state of despair every day, wandering around in the world. Luo Binghe screamed several times and even stood up. Jianzhong sighed. I didn't believe it before, but I finally witnessed it with my own eyes. Brother Gua, I really didn't expect you to be such a person."

Damn it, I'm "lost" again! Is this word going to become a stain in the lives of workers and employers?

I, the disciples of Qingjing Peak, all follow the path of being self-motivated by poetry and calligraphy. When did I become so fond of gossip? How can I talk nonsense like this everywhere? Where does this put the image of Master? !

Shang Qinghua was still confused: "Brother Gua, can I ask, what do you think of Luo Binghe? I remember you are his fan. You have trolled a lot of characters I wrote but not him. Now. To you, is he a character or a..."

A chill ran through Shen Qingqiu's vest.

Chicory's nagging questions were just like the tone of a female high school student gossiping after turning off the lights in the dormitory at night: "Tell me! Do you have a crush on XXX?" "No, no, what nonsense are you talking about?" "It's a quibble~ Don't be shy O(∩_∩)O haha~" "I hate it, go to bed"...

thunder. Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

Shang Qinghua is very innocent. He was actually asking for discussion and exchange very honestly. It was obvious that Shen Qingqiu had some evil thoughts in his mind.

Shen Qingqiu interrupted him: "Why don't you take action?"

Shang Qinghua was stunned: "What?"

Shen Qingqiu looked at him and stuffed the riding whip: "Gongyi Xiao is gone, there must be a coachman."

"...Why didn't you rush even once?"

"You have to be considerate of a poisoned patient."

What a sick patient!

Who just had so much fun tearing up monster talismans and exploding the spirit lake?

Want some face!

Shen Qingqiu lay in the carriage and shook his sleeves.

Calculating the time, there are still five years until Luo Binghe returns to the human world from the Eternal Hell. If nothing happens, it will definitely be enough to save his life.

However, he forgot that "The Path of the Proud Immortal and the Demonic One" is such a piss-poor novel. If the plot of the novel does not have any surprises on this key issue, it must not be exciting enough!
