Chapter 4: The Swordsman I Picked Up, What a Poor Swordsman
After the rain, the air in the mountains and forests is very fresh, with a hint of grassy scent that is not unpleasant.
Chen Wei was leaning against the eaves enjoying the rain and he didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw a duck passing by the door. He thought he was seeing things, so after rubbing his eyes, he found that the duck was still swaying from side to side.
Shen Wei: ...
"Brother." Qing Si came to see Chen Wei all day long when he had nothing important to do. He kicked the duck away and said, "It rained last night. There are many traces of prey in the forest today. I plan to take them for a walk. Brother, do you want to come with us?"
"Me? Strolling?" Chen Wei didn't understand what Qing Si meant.
"We will eat prey. Those who eat grass will eat grass, and those who eat meat will eat meat." Qing Si smiled and said, "Brother, won't you join us?"
"...So should I eat meat or be a vegetarian?" Shen Wei still didn't know what his original prototype was, so he asked in some surprise.
"We don't know either. Big brother usually eats both meat and vegetables, and he can even learn to cook like humans." Qing Si raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the ducks, saying, "He also raises a flock of chickens and ducks in the backyard."
This sounded wrong, Shen Wei sat up, pointed at himself, and asked: "Then what is my prototype?"
"I don't know. Big brother has always been walking around in human form, only occasionally showing a little bit of his tail and ears. As for the original form... I've never seen it, and Big brother never mentioned it before." Qing Si was a somewhat suspicious snake. He looked Shen Wei up and down and said, "Big brother, don't you know your original form?"
"I lost my memory." Shen Wei paused and said, "I haven't remembered it yet."
"Then let me teach you how to reveal your true form, big brother." Qing Si was also very curious about what Chen Wei's original form was. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and took a step forward, but Chen Wei subconsciously took two steps back. The corridor was already narrow, and these two steps were enough for his back to rest against the wall, feeling a little cold. At that moment, a sense of crisis flashed through Shen Wei's mind. He didn't know if it was the intuition of this original body or his own, but he felt it would be better not to expose the original form for the time being.
"No, no." Chen Wei smiled awkwardly, "It's not something particularly important. It's just a temporary amnesia. Maybe I'll remember it in a couple of days."
Qing Si raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of doubt flashed across his narrow eyes, but he soon smiled as usual and said: "Then listen to Big Brother."
Since Chen Wei was not going out, the other spirit beasts took their disciples to the mountains and forests. These wild beasts liked to hunt after the rain. Although it was not comfortable to have rain on their fur, the soil after the rain was moist, and any prey that ran past would definitely leave traces.
And most importantly, they really like the feeling of rolling in the mud, especially the group of animals on Baihu Peak.
So when Chen Wei saw the large group of furry creatures coming out of the woods from Baihu Peak, he almost dropped the cup in his hand. Who could tell him what those muddy balls in front of him were?
Before he could ask, the leading white tiger, with only one head left that was white, roared proudly and said, "Brother, this is the prey for you. Let's go!"
After leaving behind various wild delicacies such as wild boars, wild deer, and wild rabbits, they wagged their tails and turned away triumphantly.
Chen Wei knew that these furry animals would become like this when they encountered mud, and it seemed impossible to wash them clean. Fortunately, they were all spiritual beasts that could transform, otherwise it would take a lot of effort just to wash them.
He had only been in this world for three or four days, and he already didn't know how many times he had sighed.
He used to be a little bit of a germaphobe, but this world cured his germaphobia.
Ever since Chen Wei added those two sect rules, the entire Wanshou Sect would be gentle to the little black snake whenever they saw it. Even the group of ferocious beasts on the White Tiger Peak forced a smile. More importantly, they were looking everywhere for human sword cultivators.
For a moment, the town at the foot of the mountain of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was in chaos. When this group of spirit beasts appeared, the ordinary animals were scared and fled in all directions. Within an hour, complaints from various sects like flying snow all came to Shen Wei, making him very worried. He quickly asked his disciples to stop it all and prevent this group of spirit beasts from causing even greater chaos.
Fortunately, he stopped it in time, otherwise Bai Xiao would have transformed into his original form to capture a human monk.
"Are you inviting me?" Shen Wei sighed deeply and said, "You are robbing me."
Moreover, they even forcibly robbed a sword cultivator in the street. Recently, because of their troubles, the nearby Xuanjian Sect didn't dare to send out disciples. They all avoided the Wanshou Sect. The old bones of the Xuanjian Sect's leader were almost broken by anger.
The point is that this group of spirit beasts went out saying it was the sect master's order, so much so that now the Xuanjian Sect is somewhat suspicious of whether Chen Wei has some conspiracy.
"I asked you to find a human swordsman, but I didn't say to snatch a human swordsman back..." Chen Wei sighed, "If it doesn't work, you can ask him to come back. Let's talk nicely and don't use your claws."
"They are not happy about it." Bai Xiao shook his furry head, his ears slightly pressed back, and a trace of confusion appeared on his ferocious face: "I can only bring them back first."
"It doesn't matter if you're not happy about it. There will always be someone who is happy about it." Chen Wei provided a way, saying, "For example, use spirit stones to invite the guest official back."
In fact, Shen Wei had expected that this group of sword cultivators would not be willing to come to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. After all, which good person would want to live in a zoo?
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao said solemnly: "Brother, you have lost your memory, so you forgot that our Wanshou Sect is already in a financial deficit and has run out of money a long time ago."
“?” Chen Wei didn’t expect that such a thing could happen. Such a big sect actually has no money?
"It's very expensive to fight with a large beast prototype." Chi Luan came at some point and landed on Chen Wei's shoulder. She said, "Especially White Tiger Peak."
This time, Chen Wei was speechless. After a long silence, he finally realized that apart from cheating, deceiving, and robbing, there seemed to be no other good way to get the sword cultivator to join the Wanjian Sect. This really gave Shou a headache.
"It would be great if I could pick one up for free." Shen Wei sighed deeply.

On the day when the broken boat was picked up, Bai Xiao and the others were not at home. A group of spirit beasts were wandering around and accidentally discovered this huge pit, and then found this dying "person" in the huge pit.
"Sword." A furry spirit beast came over, got close to the sword and took a look. It lightly swept its tail across it, and the hair on its tail broke instantly. It subconsciously jumped back and said, "It can break hair with a single blow. It must be a good sword. This person who showed up with a sword, could he be a sword cultivator?"
"But this person seems to be dying." The furry man beside him shook his head and said, "His breath is too weak."
"But this is the sword cultivator that the sect master mentioned, and he was picked up for free." Mao Rongrong, who found Duan Zhou, immediately said, "No matter whether he is dead or alive, take him back first. What if the sect master has a way to save him? This is a sword cultivator that was picked up, and he is very rare."
The three elements of "picking up", "sword training" and "no money" were complete, which really attracted the attention of these furry creatures. They looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and decided to give it a try.
Because Duan Zhou had too many wounds on his body, he would bleed profusely if he moved the slightest. They could only work together to lift Duan Zhou up, using all four claws to carry Duan Zhou back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect like an ant moving house, and even placed him at the door of Chen Wei. The strong smell of blood made Chen Wei feel a little nauseous. He frowned and was about to go to see what was going on when he found a large group of furry creatures crowded at the door.
"What's wrong?" Chen Wei looked at the group of spirit beasts. They all looked at him with their eyes wide open. Their gazes were pure and even looked like they wanted to be praised. Some of them couldn't help but wag their tails. Seeing them, Chen Wei felt much better and asked in a gentle tone, "What happened?"
"Master, we found a sword cultivator." The leading spirit beast shook its furry tail and said, "We didn't spend a single spirit stone."
"...Pick it up?" Chen Wei was stunned for a moment. Before he understood the meaning of this sentence, he saw the group of furry creatures making way for him. Then he saw a monk in a black robe lying quietly on the ground. His body was tattered and covered with scars. If it weren't for the slight movement of his chest, Chen Wei would have suspected that the other party was already dead.
However, even so, he was startled, and then took a big step towards the man, half squatted, raised his hand and used spiritual power to test the man's body, and was surprised to find that although the man was seriously injured, his meridians were surprisingly tough, and strong spiritual power flowed through his meridians. When Chen Wei used his spiritual power to test, he was shocked and immediately withdrew his hand.
His sword was placed aside. There were subtle ancient patterns on the sword, and it was obvious that it was a very good weapon.
"This is really a sword cultivator. How did you pick him up?" Chen Wei asked.
"We saw him in the mountains over there. When we saw him, he was lying on the ground, already seriously injured." A spirit beast raised its claws, revealing its not-so-obvious furry claws pointing at the mountains in the distance, and said firmly, "So we carried him back."
Chen Wei looked in the direction they pointed, and it was exactly where the thunder had struck. He looked at the man in front of him again. His face was covered in blood and dirt. He couldn't tell what he looked like before, but the blackening on his clothes was obvious. He immediately thought with a guilty conscience: Could it be that he had revealed the secret before and attracted the thunder? How could someone be so unlucky to be struck by thunder?
The man was seriously injured and really needed medicine. After Chen Wei repelled those furry spirit beasts, he simply took out the medicine from the house, pinched the man's chin, and force-fed the medicine into his mouth.
Then, he simply helped the man up and took a lot of effort to get him into the house.
"Don't die." Shen Wei whispered, "Hold on."
The person on the bed groaned softly, and dark blood oozed out from the corners of his lips again. Shen Wei immediately wiped his face with a hot towel and changed his clothes. After his face was clean, Shen Wei let out a soft "eh".
After wiping off the mud and dirt, the man's face was revealed. He was indeed handsome with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
In fact, the appearance of transformed spirit beasts is generally very good-looking, but the person in front of him is more outstanding than any other person Shen Wei has ever seen. Even the fox, which is famous for its good looks, cannot be compared with him.
“This is… it’s really worth it.” Chen Wei coughed lightly, looked away, covered him with a blanket, and stood up and said, “I hope it’s a very strong swordsman, and it would be best if he is willing to stay in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, so that when the black dragon comes, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect will not suffer the disaster of being destroyed.”
He sighed deeply, feeling that it was really difficult to survive these days.
But he also felt that he was lucky. Isn't it true that whatever you want comes true? But the injury on the other party really made Shen Wei feel guilty.
