Chapter 27 You're still thinking about it?! Jiao said nothing, just jealous...
The bitter smell of the elixir filled the air. It had just rained, so the air was a little damp and the smell was thicker. Chen Wei moved closer to Duan Zhou to smell it, but he was so close that Duan Zhou subconsciously took a step back.
But he soon discovered that Chen Wei did not come close to him to sniff, but walked directly to a step behind Duan Zhou, half squatted down, and reached out to fiddle with something in the gap. He couldn't get it out, so he simply broke off a small branch to get it out.
Duan Zhou just watched the spirit beast fiddling with something in front of him.
"Chen Wei." Duan Zhou looked forward, and before he could ask, the spirit beast in front of him suddenly turned around and stretched out its hand in front of him. Duan Zhou was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the thing in Chen Wei's palm.
It was a pill. It could be seen that this pill had dropped here accidentally. Judging from the medicinal fragrance, the grade should be quite high. Duan Zhou had just glanced at it casually, but suddenly his eyes locked on the pill. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately pinched the pill between his fingertips.
"This elixir suddenly appeared here..." Before Chen Wei finished speaking, he noticed that the swordsman in front of him seemed to be in a bad mood. He looked at Duan Zhou, then at the elixir, and then asked cautiously: "Brother Duan, do you know this elixir?"
"Of course I know him." Duan Zhou pulled the corner of his lips and said with a fake smile: "Don't you want to know who Chen Liqing, the genius of the Dan Sect who killed the snake and took the elixir, is? This elixir is his masterpiece."
"..." Shen Wei recalled that he had never shown any interest in Chen Liqing from the beginning to the end.
This person is an alchemy cultivator, not a sword cultivator, and cannot save the Myriad Beast Sect, so Shen Wei is not interested.
"Chen Liqing likes to print his own unique logo on the pills he refines." Duan Zhou said, "He is the only one who likes this. The word 'Qing' on this pill is already very blurred, but it can still be seen a little bit. If I am not mistaken, it is him."
Chen Wei leaned over to take a look, and indeed, as Duan Zhou said, there was a very vague word "Qing" on the pill.
It was the first time that Chen Wei saw a pill cultivator engraving words on his pills, a rare habit.
"Is that the alchemist who killed the snake and obtained the demon pill?" Shen Wei asked.
Duan Zhou sneered softly.
Kill the snake and get the elixir? Chen Liqing wanted to kill the snake and get the elixir, but he was not strong enough. If Chen Liqing really killed the snake and got the elixir, would his Duan Zhou still be sitting here intact?
"Or maybe Chen Liqing has been here before, but he is a thoughtful person and would not leave this pill in the gap for others to find." Duan Zhou stared at the pill for a long time, and then said after a while: "Unless, it was not him who accidentally put the pill here."
"But he has Chen Liqing's elixir, which means that the person who lost the elixir had colluded with Chen Liqing long ago. This place belongs to the city lord. It is very likely... this is the city lord's elixir." Shen Wei's analysis was fast. He took a look and found the gap of the elixir, and said: "But it doesn't make sense. How could a elixir be left here for no reason?"
"Maybe, it was dropped accidentally in a hurry." Duan Zhou listened to Chen Wei's analysis and subconsciously looked at Chen Wei again. This spirit beast was more thoughtful than he thought.
Before Duan Zhou could finish, Chen Wei took over and said with a smile, "Yes, I accidentally dropped it here, so... let's return it to its original owner."
Chen Wei put the pill back into the gap. He looked around and said, "I remember this is the place that belongs to the Refining Sect, and it borders the Alchemy Sect."
"This place is remote and not prosperous, so it is not taken seriously. However, with such a major event as the annihilation of the City Lord's Mansion, I estimate that the Weapon Refining Sect will soon send people to investigate." Duan Zhou said.
"Anyway, they will find trouble with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect after seeing the marks on the gate. The sect conference is coming soon, and I guess they will make trouble for me at the sect conference. In this case." Chen Wei lowered his eyes and looked at the pill. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "I can explain the marks on the gate belonging to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, but how does the Pill Sect explain that Chen Liqing's pill appeared here?"
Anyway, the situation is already chaotic enough, but the only thing that is certain is that these cultivators do not seem to be very friendly to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, so making the situation even more chaotic can delay time.
After all, it will take some time for Chen Wei to fully understand the original owner's memories.
"Conquering others with virtue is the best choice." Chen Wei smiled and said, "Fighting violence with violence is also possible."
Flexible application is the best strategy for dealing with critical situations.
He subconsciously paused for a moment, feeling that the words sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them for a moment, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.
"Are you spending so much effort just to avenge that snake?" Duan Zhou asked.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Chen Wei dangerously, as if as long as Chen Wei nodded, he would no longer trust Chen Wei and would definitely treat Chen Wei cruelly in the future.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's not the case. It is impossible for my enemy to be killed so easily."
If the little black snake was killed, Shen Wei would really be relieved, and the disaster of exterminating the clan would naturally be solved. But now it is obviously not the case. He is just worried that Chen Liqing is the opportunity for the little black snake to be seriously injured.
It must be said that Shen Wei had spoken half the truth by accident.
"Why?" Duan Zhou asked subconsciously after hearing this.
"Because it is very powerful, very powerful." Chen Wei smiled helplessly and said, "If I really fall into its hands, I'm afraid I will die."
Duan Zhou sneered. No life? Seeing that Chen Wei cared so much about that enemy, he obviously looked like he couldn't let it go.
"Not every snake is a good snake. You and it are both spirit beasts. It is the same species as most spirit beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. You said it would kill you and destroy the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. It is obvious that this is not a very good snake. It is better to stay away from it as soon as possible." Duan Zhou was jealous, but he had to hide his little thoughts. So he tried every means to discredit the "enemy snake" and said, "Don't always think about it, and don't show mercy. When it's time to kill it, you have to cut the grass and eradicate it as soon as possible."
Shen Wei was stunned by these words. After a moment's reaction, he suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Duan, why don't you ask me why I became an enemy of this snake? Instead, you let me kill him and eradicate the root of the problem?"
"Reluctant?" Duan Zhou's face turned cold.
"...Why are you angry again?" Chen Wei came close to Duan Zhou and said with a slow smile: "It's not that I don't want to, but...but if I..."
Before Chen Wei could finish his words, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, almost hitting Chen Wei. Duan Zhou suddenly withdrew his hand, thus avoiding being struck. However, this surprised both of them.
Chen Wei looked at the black mark on the ground in shock, then glanced at Duan Zhou who had a stern expression on his face, and felt that it would be better to keep the matter concerning the Way of Heaven buried in his heart.
Otherwise, it would be too unprofitable to be struck by thunder before the evil dragon destroyed the clan.
"I won't say it anymore, you don't understand." Chen Wei sighed, a hint of melancholy in his eyes, and said: "This cannot be mentioned to others."
He was telling the truth, but in Duan Zhou's eyes, the only thing left was the word "others".
"Heh." The dragon, who had just coaxed himself into submission, suddenly became mentally distorted again.
However, this thunderbolt immediately attracted the attention of many people. Chen Wei and Duan Zhou noticed that someone was approaching this side. They looked at each other and said, "We have to leave here immediately."
The search of the City Lord's Mansion was almost finished. Chen Wei and Duan Zhou prepared to leave directly from the warehouse and then head to the sect conference. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time. The sooner they left, the better. By the way, Chen Wei also wanted to see what trap this group of people wanted to set for him at the sect conference.
But when passing the warehouse, the broken boat suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Shen Wei turned his head and asked, only to see the other party take out a token from his waist and throw it into a gap in the warehouse, and then said: "The pills alone are not enough, add another token."
“This is…” Chen Wei didn’t see clearly what the token was, so Duan Zhou said, “It’s the token of Danzong. When we were at the inn, those people were all from Danzong, so we took one and it just came in handy here.”
Duan Zhou would never tell Chen Wei that when he took the token, he did so with the intention of putting the blame on Dan Zong.
"Why is it the City Lord's Mansion again? Was the City Lord's Mansion struck by lightning?" someone said.
"Isn't it so? His entire family was wiped out in front, and he was struck by lightning in the back... Could it be that he did something against the will of heaven and was punished by heaven? You know, thunder won't strike anyone casually." said another person.
More and more people gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion. The plum blossom paw prints on the door looked even more distinct under the rain. Several stray dogs and cats in the city ran over and left deep and shallow paw prints on the ground.
At this moment, the two men had already headed directly towards Luocheng where the sect conference was held. A carrier pigeon followed behind them. Chen Wei threw the letter in his hand into the sky, and the pigeon immediately caught it, then spread its wings and flew towards the Wanshou Sect.
"It's only ten taels of silver as a deposit, so we have to spend it sparingly." Chen Wei sighed. He gently shook the brocade bag on his waist and was about to say something to Duan Zhou, but he found that the sword cultivator's pace was getting faster and faster, so fast that he could hardly catch up. He could only say, "Brother Duan, slow down."
"The poison in Sect Master Shen's body has been completely eliminated. He should be able to walk." Duan Zhou put his sword behind his back and looked at Shen Wei. Seeing that he was walking in a rather awkward manner, he slowed down his pace without making a sound. He still said expressionlessly, "After thinking about it, Sect Master Shen is right. We should indeed keep some distance from others."
"Huh?" Shen Wei was confused.
"Sect Master Shen is willing to risk his life rather than eradicate the snake." Duan Zhou said coldly, "Besides, this is a matter between Sect Master Shen and the snake. As an outsider, it is not appropriate for me to get involved. After the sect meeting is over and the one-month period is up, you and I will go our separate ways."
Chen Wei didn't know what he had said to offend this sword cultivator. After thinking it over, he felt that it was wrong to put all his eggs in one basket. He should find a few more sword cultivators so that he would have more chances of saving his life.
Duan Zhou didn't know what Chen Wei was thinking, he just kept riding forward.
Does Shen Wei not want to root out the problem? He is afraid.
