Chapter 14: Tanghulu is in danger: Buy one get one free, save when you can, save when you can…
Chen Wei had never expected that he would actually meet Duan Zhou at the foot of the mountain. He was stunned for a moment and even looked back at the road he came from, and then looked at the swordsman in front of him who was covered in morning dew and had a hint of coldness all over his body.
"I've agreed to your request, why don't you leave?" Duan Zhou stepped forward and handed the reins of one of the horses to Chen Wei, saying, "Although flying on a sword is faster, we are not in a hurry. What's more, some other sects and cities do not allow flying on a sword."
Chen Wei nodded immediately. After all, he didn't want to conflict with other sects, so he would avoid fighting if possible. He thought he was not a warlike spirit beast.
After climbing onto the horse, Chen Wei still felt unreal. He thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "It's a long journey to the sect conference. Do you really want to accompany me all the way?"
"Yeah." Everyone is here, so is there any question? Duan Zhou couldn't help but want to laugh.
"By the way, Brother Duan, I haven't asked you who your master is and which sect you are from?" Chen Wei suddenly thought of this key question and asked hurriedly.
Duan Zhou saw Chen Wei's slightly evasive look in his eyes, and he knew that what he wanted to verify was probably not his master. He wanted to tease him, but he had learned from the past. Chen Wei seemed to be particularly easy to take other people's words seriously. Duan Zhou thought about it again and again, and said truthfully: "I have never had a master. I have always been a casual cultivator, just wandering around."
This is true, but it just hides some past events.
But those things will be resolved sooner or later, and some grudges must be avenged. Thinking of this, Duan Zhou's eyes sank slightly, revealing a barely perceptible murderous intent.
The two men rode on horseback all the way. Chen Wei was in no hurry to travel, but rather walked leisurely. However, when they passed a village at the foot of the mountain, two old cats were sitting on the wall. When they saw Chen Wei, they immediately opened their mouths and called out.
Shen Wei pulled the reins, and after the horse stopped, Shen Wei looked at the two cats.
"Are you going out, Chen Wei?" asked an orange cat.
"Yes, I'm going on a long journey to attend the sect conference." Chen Wei responded.
"Be careful on the road, go early and come back early." said another tabby cat.
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible, probably in a month." Shen Wei responded again.
The two cats looked older, but one could still tell how agile they were when they were young. They sat on the wall to bask in the sun. There was no one in the entire village, but Duan Zhou observed that there were still a few spirit beasts guarding the village, but they were in more secluded places.
So when Chen Wei left, he waved his hand gently to say goodbye, and then rode with Duan Zhou to the town.
Duan Zhou was somewhat confused as to why this village was located at the foot of the mountain of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Moreover, the houses in this village looked like the small courtyard of Shenwei, but there was still a little difference. Duan Zhou couldn't tell what was wrong for a moment.
"Chen Wei, your original form..." Duan Zhou asked.
"I told you, this is the great secret of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. When you become a guest elder, you will know it." Chen Wei pretended to be mysterious and said, "Alas, you don't understand. You human sword cultivators will not understand the secrets of spirit beasts."
In fact, the real reason is that he himself still can't figure out how to see his true form.
Shen Wei himself was also quite troubled by this.
The two old cats that had been guarding the village went home after sunset. They walked across the wall one after the other, and there were only the two of them left in the entire village.

"Selling candied haws! One penny a string!" The street vendor held up the candied haws in his hand and tried to push it to Chen Wei and Duan Zhou, but when he realized there were two men in front of him, he immediately took back the candied haws and pushed it to a couple behind him.
Chen Wei raised his eyebrows, and out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Duan Zhou standing beside him, and found that he had been looking at the candied haws.
"Brother Duan." Chen Wei suddenly spoke. Duan Zhou turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Let's rest here today and continue our journey tomorrow." Chen Wei said.
Duan Zhou didn't care, he was not in a hurry to rush to the sect conference, in fact, he went to the sect conference this time, one is to follow Shen Wei, find out the details of this spirit beast, want to see what kind of medicine is hidden in Shen Wei's gourd, the second is to meet someone, he wants revenge.
When he was a snake, he was plotted against by this man. Now that he is a dragon, he is no longer the same.
"Let's stay here. I think this inn is good." Chen Wei chose an inn nearby. The waiter immediately came out and said with a smile, "Sir, do you want to eat or stay?"
"Stay in a hotel." Shen Wei said.
"Two rooms? Do you want hot water?" The waiter glanced at him and Duan Zhou, and then said attentively: "Our Tianzi room is the best, what do you think, sir?"
Chen Wei originally planned to book two rooms, but after taking out his travel expenses and weighing them a little, he decided that he'd better save some money, so he withdrew a finger under the waiter's expectant gaze and said, "Only one room is needed."
The waiter put the towel on his shoulders and immediately waved his hand behind him and said, "Dear guests, please stay in the hotel, one room! Tianzi..."
“No, no, no, don’t use the word ‘tian’.” Chen Wei immediately stopped him and said, “Just ordinary ones will do.”
The waiter changed his tone again and shouted, "The yellow room will do!"
Another waiter immediately came forward and led Duan Zhou and Shen Wei to the second floor. This floor was full of yellow-lettered rooms. At first, Shen Wei didn't understand why it was the lowest yellow-lettered room in "Heaven and Earth" when the decoration was obviously the same as the other floors.
Then he understood after entering the house. This house was not soundproof at all. There were shouts from people drinking and eating downstairs, hawking along the street, and all kinds of other sounds mixed in. Even if the doors and windows were closed, it was useless. Shen Wei couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir, there are other rooms upstairs. How about you upgrade your room? Even a Xuan room is fine." The waiter said with a smile while pushing the door open.
Chen Wei took a deep breath. He could still bear it, but when he looked at Duan Zhou beside him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then let's use the word Xuan."
He has always been a very loyal person. Whether as a human or an animal, he has never let his friends suffer.
Isn't it just a little more money? Isn't it just money? He paid!
Chen Wei waved his hand and took Duan Zhou directly to the Xuan room upstairs. As expected, this room that cost a little more money was different. The sound insulation inside was immediately much better, and there was even a vase placed next to the bed, although there were no flowers in it.
"What's wrong?" Chen Wei noticed that Duan Zhou was always staring at the vase. When he was about to approach, he heard Duan Zhou say, "Go out and see what you want to eat. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Chen Wei wanted to refuse, but his stomach growled and he went downstairs with a red face. By the way, he saw the vendor selling candied haws at the door still there, so he simply bought two strings of candied haws, one for Duan Zhou and one for himself.
Because the sun has set, there is a buy one get one free sale on candied haws.
So when Duan Zhou went downstairs, he saw a young man in white leaning on a bench by the window, holding two strings of candied haws in his hand, looking at the night market outside with interest, as if he also wanted to go out and play.
"This is a city within the Myriad Beast Sect. Don't you have any impression of it?" Duan Zhou simply sat opposite Chen Wei and asked, "Why don't you eat the candied haws?"
"This?" Chen Wei was called back to his senses by Duan Zhou's voice. He turned his head to look at the other party and said with a smile, "This is for you."
Broken Boat: ...
After a moment of silence, he took the candied haws from Shen Wei's hand and said, "Don't do such childish things next time. Who would like this candied haws?"
