Chapter 12 A short stroll on the broken boat at Suzaku Peak: The second time, I was almost struck by lightning...
Qing Si's words did deal a heavy blow to Shen Wei, and this blow made Shen Wei hang his head. Duan Zhou, who was standing behind him, felt that the spirit beast in front of him even had a hint of decadence in its hair.
"Who should I look for then?" Shen Wei asked at a loss.
Duan Zhou coughed twice behind him, and his eyes lightly glanced at Qing Si with great indifference. The other party looked back unwillingly, but this eye contact in the air did not make Chen Wei notice anything. He could only see Qing Si looking behind him provocatively. As a result, when he turned around, he saw Duan Zhou looking back at him very innocently.
"Qing Si." Chen Wei immediately said to Qing Si, "Don't be rude."
Qing Si sneered and silently muttered the four words "human swordsman" before he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
It didn't know why, but when it saw Duan Zhou, it felt like competing with him. However, it was clearly not Chi Luan and was not usually so combative.
Qingsi himself couldn't figure it out either, but he never made things difficult for himself. He simply stopped thinking about things he couldn't figure out. After shaking his big head, he raised his injured tail high, leaned against Chen Wei with a somewhat listless look, and said, "Brother, Bai Xiao is so cruel. He said he would break my tail and he did it."
As it spoke, it rubbed Shen Wei hard and kept winking at him.
Chen Wei glanced at his injured tail, which looked really bad. He looked back at Qing Si who was trying to wink at him, and immediately understood his intention. He turned his head and looked at Duan Zhou, saying, "Brother Duan, why don't you go out and wait for me? I'll take care of some things and come out soon."
Chen Wei's eyes were very honest when he spoke. Although Duan Zhou wanted to stay and listen to what they were talking about, since Chen Wei had ordered them to leave, he could only nod in response and then turned and left.
After making sure that Duan Zhou had gone far away, Shen Wei said, "Qing Si, what do you want to tell me? Is there anything that Brother Duan can't listen to?"
"Brother." Qing Si swam around Shen Wei for a while, then raised his snake head and said, "After all, he is just a human swordsman, and it is not certain whether he has the ability to kill the dragon. You can't be fooled by him."
Seeing Chen Wei walking with this human swordsman, he was a little worried. Chen Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He reached out and patted Qing Si, saying, "Don't worry, I definitely won't put all my eggs in one basket."
"What do you mean?" Qing Si tilted his head and asked.
"What I mean is..." Chen Wei paused and said softly, "I will recruit sword cultivators from all over the world. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. I will always be able to find the strongest one."
Qing's pupils widened immediately, and he nodded in appreciation, saying, "Brother, you are worthy of being my brother. You are right!"
Chen Wei pretended to be profound and nodded along with Qing Si.
The plan is good, but finding a good swordsman is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and where to find one is a problem.
Duan Zhou had been leaning against the tree in front of the snake cave, wiping his sword blade out of boredom. Two small snakes were hanging upside down from the branches beside him, obviously trying to scare him, but when Duan Zhou gently raised his eyelids to take a look at them, the pair of small snakes immediately hissed and slithered away.
"Heh..." Duan Zhou couldn't help but sneer, thinking that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was quite interesting. From top to bottom, from the sect master to the ordinary little snakes, their cowardly and playful personalities were exactly the same.
"No." Duan Zhou immediately stopped smiling and straightened his expression. He murmured in a low voice: "Don't be fooled by appearances. Chen Wei... Being the leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect must be more than what it seems."
Sect Master Shen, who was consistent in his appearance and heart, was walking out dejectedly. The moonlight was faint and a cold wind was blowing on his face. The entrance to the snake cave was relatively low and was surrounded by many thorn bushes. He subconsciously stepped slightly sideways to come out.
"Sect Master Shen." Duan Zhou shouted when he saw him coming out. Shen Wei heard Duan Zhou's voice, subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then smiled.
Chen Wei was already handsome, and he walked out from the bushes under the moonlight, dressed in white. He looked cold and frail, and people could not help but take a few more glances at him.
"What are you doing?" Chen Wei looked at the robe on his shoulders and couldn't help but ask, "Are you afraid that I'm cold?"
Duan Zhou was a little embarrassed. In fact, the moment he gave the outer robe to Chen Wei, Duan Zhou began to reflect on himself. But when Chen Wei asked him, he still said, "The night wind is cold, and I accidentally hurt you before, so I must be responsible for you."
It was a question that only required a "yes" or "no" answer, but Duan Zhou insisted on talking so much. After listening to it, Chen Wei nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Duan."
He wasn't actually cold, but since Duan Zhou had shown good intentions, he wouldn't be so blind as to reject it directly, so as not to embarrass the other party.
All in all, he is a very considerate animal.
The two of them stood side by side, and Qingsi behind them looked through the hole. He thought it looked a little ambiguous, but soon he realized that he was overthinking it.
Maybe this is also one of the big brother's recruitment strategies.
Chen Wei naturally had no idea what the Green Bamboo Snake was thinking as it twisted its belly with its broken tail raised up behind it.
However, the plan to attend the sect conference with Chi Luan almost fell through. When Chen Wei came back, he was obviously much less talkative. This silence made Duan Zhou a little uncomfortable.
This continued until they returned to Chen Wei's small courtyard. He waved at Duan Zhou and said with a forced smile, "Brother Duan, go back and rest."
"Yeah." Duan Zhou responded with a tone that was not in his heart. He watched Chen Wei go back for the holiday. Finally, he pushed open the door of his room with a sullen face and closed the door gently with dissatisfaction.
The next morning, Duan Zhou saw Chen Wei sitting in the yard. He seemed to really like basking in the sun. The rattan chair in the yard was almost Chen Wei's second bed. He was usually either in the house or on the rattan chair, rocking gently, looking very comfortable, as if last night's frustration was just Duan Zhou's illusion.
"Morning." Chen Wei waved gently at Duan Zhou and said with a smile, "I wanted to take you to Suzaku Peak early in the morning, but the Chiluans need to go out in groups to catch insects to eat in the morning, so we can only wait until they return to the peak."
This was something Chen Wei only just knew. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect really retained the animal nature. No wonder it was the "Ten Thousand Beasts Capital" among the animal groups.
"The early bird catches the worm." Duan Zhou raised his lips slightly and said, "I remember that there are not only snakes in Qinglong Peak, but also worms, right?"
"Yes." Chen Wei also had a headache when he mentioned this. He sighed and said, "So every day they will have a little fight, but the beast won't die, so just let them do whatever they want."
Chen Wei couldn't imagine how hot-tempered a bird must be that could fight thirty-six battles in three days. After all, even the white tiger that was mainly responsible for killing couldn't fight so many battles.
As soon as Chen Wei finished speaking, he heard a long cry from afar. Turning back, he saw a crimson bird with flames all over its body flying around the small courtyard in the middle twice, then rushing into a mountain next to it, which was Suzaku Peak.
And this bird was none other than the Chiluan. Behind it was a group of flying birds, all of which landed on the Suzaku Peak.
"They are back." Chen Wei immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and see Suzaku Peak."
Mainly, he wanted to make sure that if he was patient enough, he could go out with Chi Luan, try not to fight, and try not to cause trouble.
Duan Zhou saw through his thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Shen seems to still want to go to the sect meeting with the head of Suzaku Peak."
"That's natural." Shen Wei nodded, and said worriedly, "After all, I..."
"Thirty-six fights, Sect Master Shen is indeed very skilled." Duan Zhou knew the weakness of the spirit beast in front of him very well. After all, the opponent's face was almost written with the words "I don't want to fight, I'm afraid I can't win."
As expected, when he said this, Shen Wei sighed helplessly again and shook his head with a heavy expression.
Zhuque Peak is quite different from Qinglong Peak and Baihu Peak. The entire Zhuque Peak is very bright, almost magnificent. The leaves at the entrance are golden yellow, which looks extremely rich.
"Leaves made of gold?" Shen Wei was shocked.
"More than that." Duan Zhou followed Shen Wei. It was also his first time to come to Zhuque Peak. He had heard that the richest peak in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was Zhuque Peak, but he didn't expect that it was more than rich, it could be said to be extremely wealthy.
Chen Wei thought of his own shabby little courtyard and the big blood-red word "Chi" on the accounts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Although one is the Chi on the accounts and the other is Chi Luan's Chi, both Chi are "Chi", but one is extremely poor and the other is extremely rich.
"Big brother." Chi Luan sat on the throne. It combed its feathers, which were shining and extremely dazzling. Then it simply jumped down from the throne, transformed into a human form, and dived directly into Chen Wei's arms, knocking him back two steps.
But Chi Luan soon spotted Duan Zhou following behind Chen Wei. She tilted her head slightly, looked Duan Zhou up and down, and said, "Brother, are you going to take him for a stroll?"
"Brother Duan will live in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for a long time, bring him here to get to know the place." Chen Wei said.
"Then feel free to look at it. Take a closer look at whatever you like." Taking out his treasure for others to see was already the biggest concession Chi Luan had made. Giving gifts was out of the question. Of course, the highest etiquette for birds was to give insects, but the group of snakes and insects on Qinglong Peak were very stingy and refused to accept them as gifts. Qingsi's snake was even more wary of their birds all day long, so Chi Luan had to give up.
This was also Chen Wei's first time to come to Suzaku Peak, at least it was his first time here since he woke up. He felt everything was new and was shocked by the magnificence here. Rather than asking Duan Zhou to open his eyes, it would be more accurate to say that he himself had opened his eyes.
When he went to look at the rare treasures nearby, Duan Zhou's eyes were always on Chi Luan. Chi Luan was very sensitive to sight and immediately turned around and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Duan Zhou naturally wanted to ask her something. He glanced at Chen Wei who had already walked away, and then said, "I heard that Sect Master Shen has an enemy who is about to come to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to seek revenge. This enemy..."
Hearing Duan Zhou mention this, Chi Luan, who had been carefree, immediately straightened her expression. She squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Duan Zhou, as if she wanted to see something from his face. Unfortunately, Duan Zhou hid it too well, so she could not see anything. She could only frown and ask, "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know who this enemy is?" Duan Zhou asked.
…
After leaving Zhuque Peak, Chen Wei and Duan Zhou went directly to the last peak, which was the dark Xuanwu Peak.
Xuanwu Peak is the longest overall and looks like a giant turtle from a distance.
However, Chen Wei was walking in front. He introduced the situation of Xuanwu Peak to Duan Zhou all the way. He talked until he was dry-mouthed but no one responded. For a moment, he looked at Duan Zhou strangely, only to see that the other party seemed to be thinking about something and was obviously a little absent-minded.
"Brother Duan?" Chen Wei asked, "What are you thinking about? Is there anything difficult?"
"No." Duan Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "I was just looking at the scenery. These four peaks and one palace really have their own merits."
Hearing this, Chen Wei nodded and said, "Of course, the four peaks and one hall each have their own characteristics. Every spirit beast that comes to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect can find its own companions and belonging. This is the meaning of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's existence."
When it comes to waving big banners and making empty promises, no one is better than Chen Wei.
Duan Zhou nodded absentmindedly, looking at Chen Wei walking in front, his heart sank slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the time at Suzaku Peak, when faced with his questions, although Chi Luan was a little hesitant, he finally told Duan Zhou some answers.
But it was not a direct answer. According to Chi Luan, "For things like this, it is hard to go against God's will. I can only give some reminders."
Although he didn't understand what "God's will cannot be defied" meant, Duan Zhou soon fell silent after being reminded by Chi Luan.
Because Chi Luan said: "Some of the enemies are big snakes. Do you understand? They are extremely powerful big snakes. They are much more powerful than Qing Si. They want to kill Big Brother."
If Chi Luan's words had not been interrupted by a loud thunder, perhaps Chi Luan could have said more. Unfortunately, the thunder almost struck Chi Luan and him. If he had not dodged quickly, this would have been the second time he was struck by lightning.
When he thought of this, Duan Zhou felt a little depressed. He had heard that the divination by the tortoise shell of Wu Man was very powerful, so he wanted to ask about the matter of being struck by lightning.
The first time was an accident, what about the second time? He had never been struck by lightning so easily before. Duan Zhou thought that there might be some explanation for this kind of thing.
"Big boss among snakes." Duan Zhou lowered his lips, looked at the white figure in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "Big boss among snakes... I want to see which snake is so blind."
He would not admit that when he heard the words "it wants to kill big brother", his heart tightened and he felt a sense of inexplicable irritation and uneasiness.
