Chapter 5: Ah? Jiao is cautious and confused
It was already the third day when Duan Zhou woke up. As soon as he woke up, he heard conversation coming from outside.
"Brother, that human swordsman hasn't woken up yet? Can he still survive?" Qing Si asked.
"I don't know, let's try it out first." Chen Wei sighed and said, "I asked the people from Medicine Sect, and they said that this method of treatment is fine."
"We can't trust Medicine Sect completely. When they treated us before, they always got the prescription wrong. It's been three days and there's still no movement. I don't know if Medicine Sect made a mistake again this time." Qing Si still didn't believe in Medicine Sect's strength. Upon hearing this, Chen Wei said helplessly, "Because we are beasts, we need a veterinarian to see us."
Qing Si fell silent. Although he wanted to refute Shen Wei, he felt that this explanation was unexpectedly reasonable.
Suddenly, Qing Si seemed to sense something. He looked at the wooden door, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Brother, the person inside has woken up."
Shen Wei, who was brewing tea, paused for a moment. He was a little curious about how Qingsi, a bamboo green snake, had such a keen sense. Did he listen with his ears or smell with his nose? After all, he didn't know much about snakes.
Perhaps Shen Wei's confused expression was too obvious, Qing Si said helplessly: "I detected it with my spiritual power."
While they were talking, the person inside had already sat up. Duan Zhou was seriously injured, but the medicine Chen Wei gave him was indeed very good, and it was intended to save his life, so his wounds healed quickly. He looked around, and when he heard the door open, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the sword next to him, with a slightly cold expression.
The first one to come in was Shen Wei. When he pushed the door open, he saw Duan Zhou sitting by the bed and immediately said, "Why are you sitting up? You should lie down. It's best to rest for a few more days."
"It was you who saved me?" Although Duan Zhou was already unconscious at that time, looking at his surroundings, what the man had said before, and when he used his spiritual power to probe his meridians and found that there was still residual medicinal power in them, he guessed that it must have been the person in front of him who saved him.
The tone sounded somewhat cold, even with a hint of vigilance and rejection, which immediately made Qing, who had always been mindless in protecting his elder brother, angry. He stood behind Shen Wei, looking down at the human swordsman sitting on the bed, and sneered: "Of course it was my elder brother who saved you, otherwise, do you think you could survive? How do you talk to my elder brother?"
"Qing Si." Chen Wei heard that something was wrong and quickly stopped Qing Si. Then he looked at the person on the bed and smiled apologetically, "My brother didn't mean that."
Duan Zhou glanced at Qing Si lightly, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes, and he ignored him directly, and then set his eyes on Chen Wei. He said: "You call him Qing Si, he is your brother... Then you are... the leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Chen Wei?"
Chen Wei nodded. He was not surprised that this person recognized him. After all, the Myriad Beast Sect was not a small sect. It could be said that there was almost no one in the entire cultivation world who did not know Chen Wei's name.
"You are still injured, so have a good rest." Seeing that the man's face was still a little pale, Chen Wei said, "The Medicine Sect said that you have to take good care of your injuries, otherwise it will easily leave sequelae. I will leave first. You can call me if you need anything."
After saying that, Shen Wei stepped back and pushed Qing Si out.
"Why are you so angry today?" After closing the door, the two of them walked into the yard. Chen Wei asked in confusion, "You are not usually like this."
In the past, Qingsi's emotions were relatively stable, at least compared to Chi Luan and Bai Xiao, he was too stable. I have never seen him speak rudely to someone he had never met like he did today. However, it may also be because the other person's tone was not very good either.
"I don't know, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Qing Si couldn't tell the reason, but when he saw the man for the first time, he felt very uncomfortable, a feeling of being provoked, and a subconscious sense of vigilance when meeting the same kind. However, he had repeatedly used his spiritual power to test the other party, and he was indeed just a sword cultivator. He thought about it and reminded Shen Wei again, saying: "Even if you want to use human sword cultivators, you can't trust them completely. Humans are so cunning, you must be on guard."
"Okay." Shen Wei responded.
After sending Qing Si away, Chen Wei came to the room where Duan Zhou was again. The other party seemed to have expected that Chen Wei would definitely come back. After hearing the sound, he gently raised his eyelids and glanced at him. This indifferent look really made it difficult for people to respond.
"Cough." Chen Wei raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed softly, then said, "You don't have to take Qing Si's words to heart. He has no ill intentions."
Chen Wei thought the other party would speak, but after waiting for a while, Duan Zhou didn't speak. He could only feel the other party's eyes falling lightly on him. This gaze was like a substance, which made Chen Wei feel a sense of danger. He subconsciously straightened his back and then said, "Do you have anything to ask?"
"He does care about you very much. It seems that the rumors outside that the four peaks and one hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the five spirit beasts who have become brothers are true." Duan Zhou's lips curled up slightly. He was seriously injured before and was preparing to come to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to take shelter. It was a pity that he was unlucky and the tribulation of turning a snake into a dragon came early.
Now, the injuries in his body are no longer a problem thanks to the care of elixirs. It can be seen that the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has put a lot of effort into him.
Thinking of this, Duan Zhou became more alert. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and he didn't believe that the guy in front of him really did it for free.
"Of course it's true." Chen Wei had become familiar with the other peak masters in the past few days. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Whether it's humans or spirit beasts, they are all flesh and blood. The five of us brothers have lived and died together for so many years, so naturally we have an extraordinary bond."
When he said this, his eyes drifted slightly, and then quickly returned to their original position. Duan Zhou was thinking about other things and missed this.
"I heard you talking about human sword cultivators before?" Duan Zhou lowered his eyes slightly, and seemed a little weak, but the hand holding the sword did not relax at all. He whispered, "Are you referring to me?"
"Of course, you are the first human swordsman in the entire Wanshou Sect." Chen Wei immediately complimented Duan Zhou. Thinking that he would have to ask him for help in the future, he immediately smiled and said, "We spirit beasts admire human swordsmen very much. The relationship between humans and beasts must develop peacefully so that we can help each other. You can rest and recuperate here. Don't worry! With me here, you will be fine."
Seeing his attentive look, Duan Zhou became more cautious.
"I heard that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is very hostile to humans." Duan Zhou himself is a dragon, and he doesn't know about other spiritual beasts, but he is indeed very annoyed by those human cultivators. They are simply more annoying and greedy than each other.
As soon as he said this, he saw Chen Wei in front of him shaking his head righteously and said, "These are all misunderstandings and prejudices. Humans and animals develop together. We in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect welcome human sword cultivators. The more the better, the stronger the better. If you don't believe it, you can stay in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for a while. Don't be in a hurry to leave. It's best to stay for three to five years. We will definitely let you feel the good of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect."
Broken Boat: ...
The more he watched, the more he felt that Shen Wei's behavior was fake, setting a trap for him.
"You should have a good rest." Chen Wei saw that the man's face was still a little pale, and guessed that the other party's injuries had not healed yet and should not be too tired, so he could only say: "You should have a good rest."
When he pushed the door open and walked out, he suddenly heard a slightly hoarse voice coming from behind him, saying: "Thank you, Sect Master Shen, for saving my life. My name is Duan Zhou."
Broken boat?
Chen Wei didn't care about anything else, he just nodded, and then pushed the door and left, so he didn't notice that the person behind him had a dark look in his eyes, which revealed a hint of suspicion.
As a cautious snake, no, dragon, Duan Zhou felt that Chen Wei seemed a little different from what was rumored.
Rumor has it that the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Chen Wei, is as gentle as jade, has an upright temperament, and treats people with the demeanor of a gentleman, like a banished immortal. It can be said that there is almost nothing wrong with him, except that he is a little protective of his own shortcomings.
But the one in front of him was obviously more easy-going. His actions, expressions and eyes all revealed a few words - simple-minded.
But Duan Zhou didn't think that the leader of a sect would be so heartless, so he was more inclined to believe that Chen Wei was pretending, pretending to be serious and pretending to welcome human monks. Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, there was definitely a conspiracy.
So Duan Zhou, who was as cunning as honeycomb coal, stared at Chen Wei's back until he went out and closed the door. Then he raised the corners of his lips and sneered softly, "Human swordsman?"
As expected, after transforming into a dragon, his strength increased a lot, and even Chen Wei could not see through his true form.
Chen Wei felt much more relaxed when he walked out of the door. He rubbed his shoulders, looked at the good weather outside, and felt deeply that God would not kill him. God would give him whatever he needed. He would never curse God again.
What's more, this sword cultivator looked like a powerful figure, and Shen Wei suddenly felt that his life was a little bit protected.
Bai Xiao had just returned late at night. When he heard about this, he immediately rushed over to see this human swordsman. He thought that Chen Wei had just raised a human to play with on a whim, so he shouted before he even entered the room, "Brother, I heard that you have a little toy in your room!"
Duan Zhou, who was originally sitting on the bed practicing, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the door. Before he could move, he heard a familiar voice lazily saying, "What are you talking about? This is our Ten Thousand Beast Sect's future guest, a human, kind, sword, cultivator."
He said the last four words one by one, with a very deliberate posture, and Bai Xiao finally reacted. He tilted his big furry head, and his tail swayed slightly behind him, and then he stammered: "Oh oh oh, sword cultivator, sword cultivator, very good!"
Sword cultivation is good, and their Wanshou Sect needs sword cultivation!
Duan Zhou became even more suspicious now. The wounds on his body were recovering at an extremely fast speed. When he was about to get up, his eyes fell on the shelf beside him. There were a few sheets of rice paper on it. The ink next to them was accidentally spilled out, leaving a few drops on the paper. He walked over, picked up the paper and took a look.
"What is this?" He carefully identified the words on it and said with difficulty: "One year... What one year? A suicide note? Huh?"
Duan Zhou was alert, suspicious, and a little confused.
