Chapter 30: Robbery in the face of danger: The premise of not bringing disaster to others is that benefits should not be brought to others...
The Dan Sect came to participate in the sect conference with such a grand momentum, which made Chen Wei and the Wanshou Sect look more simple.
"Master." Liantian had noticed Duanzhou early in the morning, and also learned from Qingsi about the "prophecy of the little black snake destroying the sect." However, due to the laws of nature, Qingsi could not explain it in too much detail, so that the information Liantian received was a little bit different.
And if Liantian guessed correctly, the swordsman wearing a snake mask in front of him should be the swordsman who was struck by lightning and whom they picked up.
"What's wrong?" Chen Wei's attention was drawn back to Lian Tian, but when facing Duan Zhou who was wearing a mask, he could not take his eyes away.
This snake mask was so lifelike that for a moment, it seemed as if Duan Zhou's eyes, looking at Chen Wei through the mask, had turned into vertical pupils.
Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly tightened, he looked again and found that Duan Zhou's eyes were still fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
With just this one glance, he felt as if a thin layer of cold sweat had appeared on his back.
"Sect Master?" Lian Tian called out again, and Shen Wei finally came back to his senses. He started coughing as if he had choked, raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed, "What? I was a little distracted just now."
"It's windy outside, let's go in and rest." Liantian said.
Chen Wei nodded. Although he was dazzled, what happened just now did make him a little uneasy.
Liantian led the way in front, Chen Wei and Duan Zhou followed behind. Chen Wei subconsciously looked at Duan Zhou twice more and met Duan Zhou's gaze when he turned his head.
He watched Duan Zhou take off his mask and look at him with a half-smile, and even came closer and whispered: "What were you afraid of just now?"
"No...no." Shen Wei shook his head and said, "I was just dazzled."
"What did you see?" Duan Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of temptation. His gaze fell on Shen Wei's face, as if he didn't want to miss any change in his expression.
"..." After thinking for a while, Chen Wei said slowly: "I just thought that your eyes looked like snake pupils."
"Really? What do you think now?" Duan Zhou asked with a smile.
"You are a human swordsman, how can you have snake pupils?" Chen Wei said honestly: "You are the human swordsman I chose."
The playful expression on Duan Zhou's face froze slightly. He coughed twice unnaturally and said lightly, "Yeah."
The answer was very brief and powerful, not a single word was superfluous.
The two followed Liantian into the house, which was a little messy inside. It might be because there were too many furs here, which were prone to shedding. As soon as they entered the house, they saw fur flying everywhere.
"Dog hair, cat hair, and..." Lian Tian paused, looked down at the little duck that came from nowhere, and added: "Duck hair."
The little duck ran away quacking on its little webbed feet.
When he saw the duck, Chen Wei thought of the chickens and ducks he raised in the backyard of the Myriad Beasts Sect. He really didn't dare to hand them over to the furry group on White Tiger Peak, so he could only entrust the ones on Vermillion Bird Peak to take care of them.
"Master, please take a seat." Lian Tian also looked a little unnatural. It was obvious that he had tried his best to clean up, but the effect was minimal. He could only barely find a relatively clean seat for Chen Wei.
After Chen Wei sat down, he looked around the place carefully. Compared with the rich and powerful Dan Sect, the Wanshou Sect was too simple and rustic. He touched the little silver left in his pocket and couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, are you worried about the rumors outside?" Upon seeing Chen Wei sigh, Lian Tian immediately got to the point without any detours.
Chen Wei was still thinking about the lack of money, and suddenly heard Lian Tian's words. He didn't react for a while. Duan Zhou beside him whispered: "It should be referring to the case of the extermination of the City Lord's Mansion involving the Dan Sect and the Wanshou Sect."
"Yes." Liantian looked at Duanzhou a few more times, ignoring the strange fear in his heart. He added: "The outside world rumored that the Myriad Beast Sect destroyed the City Lord's Mansion, but there are also rumors that it was the Pill Sect that destroyed it. Now there are both rumors. I don't know which is the truth."
“…I don’t know the truth…” Chen Wei waved his hand and said, “I’m afraid the group of cultivators at the sect conference will do their best to interrogate me.”
After these words were spoken, Liantian did not refute. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the people attending this sect conference had ill intentions.
"Forget it. If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Can you really kill me?" Chen Wei was tired of thinking about this question. He shook his head, leaned back in his chair, and turned to look at the broken boat beside him.
Anyway, the prophecy is that the Wanshou Sect will be destroyed in more than eleven months, which means that the Wanshou Sect will be fine before that.
As long as Duan Zhou is here, and as long as the human swordsman he is looking for is here, the disaster of extermination of the family can be averted.
"Why are you looking at me?" Duan Zhou felt a little uncomfortable with Chen Wei's blunt gaze. He subconsciously smiled, but soon reacted and put on a calm and indifferent look, saying, "You want me to protect you?"
"I feel at ease with you here." Shen Wei said with a smile.
Duan Zhou couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He coughed lightly, looked away, and said casually, "You... it's up to you."
After spending the past few days together, Chen Wei has roughly figured out Duan Zhou's personality and has gotten used to his fickleness and mood swings.
"Master, the residence for you and Master Duan has been arranged. This little dog will take you there later. I will take care of other things first." Liantian is also a very busy snake. He said, "Master, you can call me at any time if there is anything."
He bowed as he spoke, then turned and walked out. The puppy sat obediently at the door with an upright posture. When it saw Shen Wei and the others coming out, it immediately came over and sniffed them.
"Puppy?" Shen Wei half-crouched down and just as he raised his hand, the other party came closer. Its little head was round and furry, and its short tail was originally hanging behind it out of fear. However, after sniffing Shen Wei's scent, it immediately shook its tail rapidly, and it wanted to jump a few times to show Shen Wei.
Duan Zhou leaned aside and watched. After a moment, he coughed and asked, "Where is the house?"
The man and the dog turned their heads to look at him at the same time. Duan Zhou finally understood why he always felt that Chen Wei's eyes were particularly sincere and simple. Even when the other party had some bad intentions, it did not prevent his eyes from being very pure.
Because the looks in the eyes of this man and the dog are exactly the same.
The puppy raised its paw and gently tugged at the hem of Chen Wei's clothes, then held the hem of his clothes in its mouth and walked towards the backyard. Chen Wei could only keep up with the puppy's pace, and Duan Zhou followed closely behind.
The backyard was not big, but very cozy, like a very messy little nest. Chen Wei raised his eyebrows. When the furry creatures saw Chen Wei coming, they all pounced on him. One of the bears, which came from nowhere, almost knocked Shen Wei out. Fortunately, Duan Zhou was quick to support Chen Wei.
"How is it? Did you hit anything?" Duan Zhou's face changed slightly.
The impact force of this bear is not small, and it rushed over in its original form. Those who know it think that the bear loves the leader, while those who don’t think it is trying to usurp the throne.
Chen Wei dodged quickly, but subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and his arm still hurt a little. He looked at the honest and guilty bear and said, "It's okay, it's fine, I feel fine."
After he said three times that he was fine, the bear finally breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed against me affectionately.
Chen Wei could see that the original owner seemed to have a very good relationship with these animals, and these animals liked the original owner very much. This made him even more curious about the original owner's original form. What kind of animal had such a strong affinity?
After the group of furry creatures were taken away, Shen Wei and the others finally squeezed into the house, only to find that the two of them were actually arranged in the same courtyard. Shen Wei thought that Lian Tian had made a mistake.
However, before he could ask Liantian, he heard Duanzhou next to him say, "His arrangement should be correct, because there is no other vacant room here. You can see that they are all occupied by monks."
Chen Wei looked in the direction Duan Zhou's finger was pointing, and found that every small courtyard seemed to be full. And most importantly, there was a huge sign made of cloth next to it, with a few huge words written on it: "Humans and animals are separated, each in its own place, please do not feed or bribe the spirit beasts privately."
"What does this mean?" Shen Wei was a little shocked.
"Hmm..." Duan Zhou took the sign and studied it carefully before coming to a conclusion. He said, "If I'm not mistaken, this Ten Thousand Beast Sect base seems to also be a part-time inn. Oh, and your spirit beasts seem to be... also working hard to make money."
Shen Wei: ...
What else could he say? It was written on the sign: a portion of carrots was ten copper coins, and a portion of meat was thirty copper coins. The prices were clearly marked.
He thought about the alchemy practitioners sitting in the carriage in such glory, and then looked at the group of furry creatures who were working hard to support the sect. He felt that as the sect leader, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the sect.
"When will the Myriad Beast Sect become as rich as the Pill Sect?" Chen Wei was a little envious, not for himself, but just to let these furry creatures who were willing to follow the Myriad Beast Sect live a better and more secure life.
After hearing this, Duan Zhou thought about it carefully and said, "It's easy, just rob it directly."
Anyway, the people from the Dan Sect were out there snatching rare treasures and even coveting the spirit beast and demon pills. Being robbed was purely karma.
Chen Wei glanced at Duan Zhou. He said nothing. Duan Zhou refused and said, "I will never do such a thing."
However, a moment later, on the eaves of the inn booked by Danzong, a black figure was sitting casually. He lowered his eyes to look at the alchemy practitioners living below, as if he was estimating how many people there were and how to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
"Dan Zong." Duan Zhou whispered, "You will have to return what does not belong to you sooner or later."
Before the establishment of the Myriad Beasts Sect, various sects had captured, tamed, or even hunted spirit beasts. The Dan Sect was the most excessive of them, often offering high rewards for high-level spirit beasts and skinning them alive for their demon pills.
Because the demon pill is skinned alive, its spiritual power can be preserved to the greatest extent.
There was only one reason why Duan Zhou agreed to let Shen Wei do this for him, because Shen Wei said -
The Dan Sect uses the money earned from digging out the spirit beasts' demon cores to spend on these disciples. These disciples are not unaware of this. So, they are not innocent people and there is no need to be lenient towards them.
Chen Wei is a beast who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and protects his shortcomings.
It was a dark and windy night. Duan Zhou stood on the eaves and Chen Wei stood on a nearby tree. They worked in the light and in the dark, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
