Chapter 52 Chapter 52 "In fact, I wanted you to become...
"In fact, I wanted you to become a swordsman of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect because I thought you were very powerful."
"I used to think that sword cultivators were all repulsive to spirit beasts, so I was wary of you, Brother Duan. I didn't expect you to be a good sword cultivator."
"Just these two?" Duan Zhou asked.
Chen Wei nodded hesitantly. It was not that he did not want to say it, but he was afraid of being struck by lightning. After all, Duan Zhou was seriously injured by the Nine-Layer Heavenly Thunder, so he was carried into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect by the furry creatures. Chen Wei did not want to suffer this kind of Nine-Layer Heavenly Thunder again.
Even a powerful swordsman like Duan Zhou was nearly killed by the blow. Chen Wei thought that if the blow hit himself or any of the furry creatures, they would be seriously injured at best, or even killed at worst.
"Well, I believe you." Duan Zhou decided to believe Chen Wei.
After all, two spirit beasts in love are bound to have some bumps and bruises. Duan Zhou thinks this is a necessary process for lovers.
The two looked at each other and immediately put aside their past grudges. The group of furry creatures behind them breathed a sigh of relief. At least the swordsman was still there, and the life-saving talisman was still there.
"How long do you plan to keep that black snake?" Duan Zhou walked behind Shen Wei, his eyes falling on him. The bright moonlight fell on Shen Wei's profile, making him stand like a pine tree, very handsome. Duan Zhou felt as if his heartstrings were plucked heavily by something.
His eyes softened instantly.
"It can go down the mountain whenever it wants." Chen Wei said with a smile: "If it wants to stay in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, then it can stay in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. It's up to it."
Anyway, there is a life-and-death Gu between them, so their lives will be fine.
Duanzhou nodded and said nothing more. His eyes fell on Shen Wei's drooping hand, where the joints were distinct. Duanzhou actually thought that animals in love would generally hold each other's paws, but Shen Wei didn't seem to have any intention of holding hands for the time being. Duanzhou was just thinking about it, so he quickly turned his eyes away and didn't mention it.
After finally resolving the misunderstanding, the two separated and went back to rest. When Shen Wei opened the door, he saw a bunch of furries crowded in the room.
"Brother, since we already have the Life and Death Together Gu, you plan to let the little black snake go, but what about the Broken Boat?" Chi Luan said, "In this case, we don't have to stay with that sword cultivator, right?"
"Let's keep it." Chen Wei said, "After all, God's will is unpredictable, so it's better to be careful."
"Brother is right. It is better to be cautious. We still need to keep the life-saving talisman." Qing Si said.
After the group of furry creatures left, Chen Wei sat alone on the bed. Duan Zhou and the little black snake lived in the room next door. He looked over there, thinking about what Chi Luan said.
In fact, he also knew that with the Life and Death Together Gu, he could restrain the black snake, and the existence of sword cultivators would be unnecessary.
But he had to admit that he got along very well with Duan Zhou, even though this sword cultivator had an unpredictable temperament, even though this sword cultivator had a weird temper, even though this sword cultivator had no relationship with him, and even though this sword cultivator had accidentally injured him.
But he still thought that Duan Zhou was a good person and a very good swordsman.
It is always a joy to associate with good people.
At this moment, Qing Si, who was walking down the mountain, suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at Chi Luan and Bai Xiao behind him and said, "Who told big brother that the Life and Death Together Gu can be eaten?"
"I." Bai Xiao raised his chin slightly and asked arrogantly, "What's wrong?"
"Idiot." Qing Si couldn't hold back his anger and said, "Do you know what the name of the Life and Death Together Gu is?"
"What?" Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment. He had only a vague understanding of elixirs, and indeed did not know as much as Qingsi. When asked by Qingsi, even though the two spirit beasts had some problems on weekdays, when they talked about serious matters, Bai Xiao immediately became cautious and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that this life-and-death Gu has another name called love Gu, which is usually used by couples. Once the Gu is planted, it cannot be taken out, and life and death are inseparable. If the boss eats this pill, how will he find a partner in the future? Is he going to be with that little black snake that tried to destroy our sect?" When Qing Si thought of this, he felt that he could no longer suppress his anger and said angrily, "Stupid!"
After hearing what Qing Si said, not only Bai Xiao, but even Chi Luan was stunned.
"Then why didn't you say it in front of the boss?" Chi Luan asked.
"It's come to this, why add to the worry? Big brother is happy that this matter has been resolved. If I go up to him and say this now, won't it be a big disappointment?" Qing Si glanced at Chi Luan and said, "Don't you see that Big brother doesn't want that sword cultivator to leave the Ten Thousand Beast Sect?"
"I know this." Chi Luan said, "I'm not so ignorant. Big brother clearly has a special liking for this sword cultivator."
"Ah, to be honest, when Wu Man was fortune-telling before, he was originally going to fortune-tell for the eldest brother, but he ended up fortune-telling for Duan Zhou, which proves that Duan Zhou should like the eldest brother. I thought Duan Zhou was unrequited love, but I didn't expect that the eldest brother actually..." Bai Xiao was a little distressed. He shook his head subconsciously. Although he already had a human form, he was still used to some beast movements. He leaned against the tree and said, "Now the co-existence Gu has been given to the little black snake, and I remember that the little black snake has someone in his heart. How should I put it? This is really a big mess, a bad fate."
"In this relationship, there are no winners, no summer vacation, and no one can succeed." Finally, Qings made a very sad summary.
They turned around and returned to their own mountain, all feeling that the situation was about to become unsettled.
…
The next morning, Chen Wei wanted to go see the little black snake, but unexpectedly he met Duan Zhou at the door. It had been a long time since he had seen Duan Zhou during the day. When he suddenly saw him coming, Shen Wei was stunned for a moment.
"What are you looking at?" Duan Zhou, who had spent an hour dressing himself up, raised his lips slightly, revealing a hint of smile on his handsome face, and said, "It's not the first day you've seen me, so why do you have to look at me for so long?"
"Brother Duan." Chen Wei paused, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in the daytime for a long time, I'm just a little surprised."
"I'm not going to practice swordplay today." Duan Zhou said, "Would you like to go for a walk down the mountain? I heard there's a market down there tonight, and it's going to be very lively."
Chen Wei thought about it, and finally agreed, and then went down the mountain with Duan Zhou. By the way, he asked Qing Si to feed the little black snake, but was stopped by Duan Zhou. Duan Zhou said: "I fed it when I got up, so there is no need to disturb it anymore."
"It's not a good idea for you two to live together. How about I ask someone to clean up the utility room..." Before Chen Wei finished speaking, Duan Zhou said, "Don't bother with that. It's just a small snake. It's not a big deal."
Seeing Duan Zhou say this, Chen Wei had no choice but to agree, but after thinking for a while he was a little confused and said: "Brother Duan, is the injury of that little snake really that serious? Why does it seem like it has never grown up?"
Of course Duan Zhou didn't dare to grow bigger. If he did, the claws under his belly would be hard to hide.
He thought about it, shook his head, and said: "The injury should be almost healed, but it just doesn't want to grow bigger. Maybe it's just this quirk."
Duan Zhou didn't want their date to be filled with the shadow of the snake, so he changed the subject very abruptly and said, "I've been to the Lantern Festival before, but I went alone at that time. This is the first time I'm going to see it with... with you."
Chen Wei raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect it to be like this, but he could see that Duan Zhou was a swordsman with a somewhat eccentric personality.
"I heard that if you make a wish by lighting lanterns at this time, it can come true. Although there is no evidence and I don't know whether it is true or not, I heard that it is very effective." When Duan Zhou and Shen Wei went down the mountain together, Duan Zhou looked at the busy market and said, "It seems that now is not the time to light lanterns. We can wait and light lanterns in the evening."
"Okay." Shen Wei nodded.
The two of them walked around the streets and alleys, but they didn't hear of any market with lanterns. Chen Wei felt that Duan Zhou might have remembered the time wrong, or he might not know much about this so-called lantern market. However, he didn't mention it. After the two of them had dinner in the teahouse, it was almost dusk, and Duan Zhou looked outside expectantly, wanting to wait until there were the most people before setting off the lanterns.
However, when the sun went down, there were fewer and fewer people hawking on the street. He also realized something was wrong. He thought about it and stood up to ask the waiter, "Aren't we going to light lanterns today? Why is there no one here?"
"Lighting up lanterns?" The waiter was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You remembered the wrong date. The lanterns were all lit up the day before yesterday. The next time will be next month!"
Hearing this, Duan Zhou's face froze slightly. He turned back to look at Chen Wei, and finally, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he asked the waiter again, "Can we really only wait until next month? Is there any way to advance it?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "Everyone releases lanterns on this day. Sir, you probably calculated the wrong date. But you can wait until next month. Next month is a good day to pray for a good marriage."
Having said that, Duan Zhou still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but his face was always expressionless and no emotion could be seen. Just as Duan Zhou was thinking about what to do, two lanterns suddenly appeared in front of him.
He was subconsciously stunned, only to see Chen Wei holding up the lantern with a smile, saying: "We don't have to light lanterns with everyone else. We can light our own lanterns. Maybe with fewer lanterns, the gods will be more likely to hear our prayers."
When he came, he found that there were fewer people coming and going on the street, so he guessed something and simply bought lanterns quietly.
When Chen Wei smiled, his eyes were slightly curved, as if Duan Zhou was the only one in his eyes. When Duan Zhou looked at him, the deep affection in his eyes could no longer be expressed in words.
Duan Zhou said softly: "Thank you."
Jiao once again confirmed that Chen Wei was a beast worthy of his love, and that Chen Wei also liked him very much.
And Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
