Chapter 53 Chapter 53 The river where lanterns are released...
There were not many people by the river where the lanterns were released, except for the vendors who were packing up their stalls. Duan Zhou and Shen Wei were half-crouching by the water, releasing lanterns into the river just like the other human monks had done before.
"Why do I feel like you don't know as much about these as I do?" Chen Wei smiled and said, "You must have practiced hard often before, right?"
Duan Zhou nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
"It is said that it is easier to make a wish by releasing lanterns." Chen Wei looked at the lanterns and said silently: I hope that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and I can survive the catastrophe safely. I hope that the little black snake will not bear grudges and have a better temperament. It would be best if we can have the best relationship. It will never be willing to take action.
He had just made a wish when he heard Duan Zhou's voice, saying, "I hope that I and..."
"Brother Duan." Chen Wei suddenly smiled and said, "You can't make a wish out loud. If you do, it won't come true."
Hearing this, Duan Zhou's expression changed slightly, and then he lowered his eyes to look at the lanterns floating on the water, thinking in his heart: I hope Shen Wei and I can stay together forever, never separate, I hope he only has me in his heart, I hope he only has me by his side, I hope he can stop being so philandering, I hope he can be better to me, I hope...
Chen Wei was waiting with a smile at the beginning, then he was a little surprised, and finally he yawned. He didn't know where the lanterns had drifted away. In the end, Duan Zhou's wish was fulfilled.
"Brother Duan, how many wishes do you have?" Chen Wei said with a smile, "It's easier to make fewer wishes come true."
"Really?" Duan Zhou wasn't quite sure. He turned his head and looked at the lanterns that had drifted away, and said silently in his heart: If I can only choose one, then I hope Chen Wei is safe.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh. If someone had told him before that he, Duan Zhou, would one day be obsessed with a scumbag, Duan Zhou would definitely think it was a joke. However, he didn't expect that he would now be willing to stay with this scumbag.
"Brother Duan." Chen Wei glanced at the moonlight and said, "It's getting late. We should go back."
"Okay." Duan Zhou responded, his eyes fell on Shen Wei's face. Perhaps because his eyes were too focused, Shen Wei was a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously touched his face, and then hesitated and said, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
"No." Duan Zhou said.
"Then what are you looking at?" Shen Wei asked in confusion.
"Look at me in your eyes." Duan Zhou said, "I occupy your entire sight."
"There is only Brother Duan in front of me, so naturally, all I see and think of is Brother Duan." Chen Wei said with a smile: "Besides, Brother Duan and I have lived together for such a long time, so naturally, my relationship with Brother Duan is the best."
Duan Zhou fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'm looking at you too, you're very beautiful."
Chen Wei is indeed very good-looking. In fact, when Duan Zhou saw Chen Wei for the first time, he thought that this spirit beast was really good-looking. He couldn’t tell what was so good-looking about it, but it was very, very good-looking, and made people want to take him away.
"Let's go." Chen Wei walked in front and asked, "Brother Duan, do you want to fly the sword yourself, or ride with me?"
Seeing that Duan Zhou was still not drawing his sword, Chen Wei asked. He thought Duan Zhou was going to fly the sword himself, but Duan Zhou said without hesitation: "Let's ride on the sword together."
For Duan Zhou, this was tantamount to an invitation from Chen Wei. Although Jiao had never been in love, he had read a lot of storybooks and knew the necessary process of falling in love. This was clearly an intimate moment after a date, so how could Jiao refuse the invitation from the other party?
So it was the first time for Chen Wei and Duan Zhou to ride on a sword together in the true sense, and it was Chen Wei who was flying the sword. Fortunately, Shen Wei's sword-flying skills were pretty good now. If he was still as half-baked as when he had just woken up, I'm afraid both of them would have fallen from mid-air.
After returning to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the two went back to their rooms to rest. However, Duan Zhou couldn't fall asleep. He sat on the bed, looking at the empty magic weapons, and then looked at the room where Chen Wei was. He felt that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was most likely his future home.
But thinking of this, he suddenly thought of a more critical issue, that is, he was not a human swordsman at all, but a real dragon. It would have been ok to deceive Chen Wei before, but now that Shen Wei was his partner, he must not continue to deceive Shen Wei.
But Chen Wei was obviously very obsessed with his identity as a human swordsman, and he had deceived the other party for almost two months. So, how to explain all this... For a moment, the dragon fell into deep thought again, always feeling that this was a very tricky problem.
Chen Wei, however, didn't know anything about that. He was lying on the bed, thinking about Duan Zhou's pious look when he made a wish, and thinking about the powerful strength of this human swordsman. He was a little curious about what kind of wish the other party made that took so long.
But it was inconvenient to ask, so he didn't ask. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt his body stiffen, and his soul seemed to tremble for a moment, but it was very fast, like an illusion. In fact, Chen Wei just felt a sudden dizziness in front of his eyes.
He shook his head, and his spiritual energy flowed through his meridians, and he did not find any problems.
"Is it an illusion?" Shen Wei murmured in a low voice: "Maybe I've been too tired recently, and I'm hallucinating."
But when he lay down to sleep again, he felt something wrong under him. When he turned his head, he found his furry tail appeared.
Chen Wei: ...It doesn’t seem to be an illusion.
…
Chen Wei retracted his tail, lay on the bed for a while, and fell asleep when he found nothing unusual. When he woke up the next morning, it was already noon. When he opened the door, he saw two ducks standing at the door.
"What happened?" Shen Wei asked.
"I went to clean the kitchen and moved a nest for them." Duan Zhou didn't know what time he got up in the morning. Anyway, he had already finished practicing sword skills and even cleaned up the small yard. He didn't know where he got the energy from. Chen Wei even felt that even the corners of his clothes seemed to be free of dust.
"Ah?" Shen Wei could only be confused for a moment.
But soon, Chen Wei discovered that there seemed to be more than just these strange things about Duan Zhou, because he found that everything in the whole yard was in pairs, even the ducks at the door were in a pair, and the big locust tree next to it had become two. Chen Wei felt that the yard had suddenly become something he could not recognize.
He looked at the busy Duan Zhou with a bit of hesitation, wanting to ask something, but was afraid of touching the other party's sensitive and fragile nerves. After all, Duan Zhou looked really strange now, and his behavior was a bit abnormal and weird.
So Chen Wei could only sneak out of the yard and urgently summon the masters of other peaks. Still only three peaks came, because if the one from Xuanwu Peak wanted to go out, he had to notify three days in advance.
"Could it be that he has gone insane because of some kind of blow?" Qing Si asked in confusion, "Brother, do you know anything about this?"
"I don't know." Shen Wei shook his head honestly. He really didn't know anything.
Qingsi didn't know why, but the snake's intuition told it that it seemed to be related to its eldest brother.
"If a sword cultivator is like this, then there is probably something wrong with their sword practice." Chi Luan said calmly, thinking deeply: "According to the sword cultivators I have fought with, something went wrong during their sword practice, or they had an epiphany, or they were desperate. Anyway, sword cultivators all have some problems and are obsessed with swords."
“…” Shen Wei fell silent.
"I think it might be because of the little black snake." Bai Xiao suddenly said, "Remember what Wu Man said before, that black snake was in unrequited love, then unilaterally heartbroken, and then unilaterally in love. Snakes..."
It paused for a moment, glanced at Qing Si who looked unhappy, and finally coughed a few times, saying: "Why not separate the sword cultivator and the snake, maybe it can return to normal."
This is the only way. Shen Wei seriously thought about the feasibility of this method.
Duan Zhou didn't know about this yet. He was completely immersed in the joy of his first love. He was even wondering what kind of spirit beast Chen Wei was. It would be great if he knew what kind of spirit beast Chen Wei was. Then he would know what kind of gift he should give.
There must be something as a token of love, just like Chen Wei gave him the sword of love, so what should he give to Chen Wei?
Duan Zhou thought about it carefully, and suddenly he turned back into his original form, only smaller. Then he raised his claws and scratched his scales, and pulled out a scale directly from his heart. Blood immediately flowed out, and Duan Zhou trembled with pain.
He took a moment before placing the blood-stained scale on the table beside him. After being separated from the body, the scale returned to its normal size, about the size of a palm.
This is the heart-protecting scale of a dragon. No matter it is a snake or a dragon, each has only one piece. It can be said to be the most precious thing of their kind.
This scale was the hardest and contained abundant spiritual power. After Duan Zhou pulled out the scale, the whole dragon looked a little listless and lay beside the table. However, before he could transform into his original form, the door suddenly opened. Duan Zhou was startled and raised his head abruptly, rushed into the magic weapon, and then he was annoyed to find that he had thrown the key to unlock the magic weapon outside in a hurry.
However, he couldn't get it now, because the person who came in was Shen Wei.
"It's still in the cage." Chen Wei came over. He looked around first, then walked towards the little black snake and whispered, "You can't stay with Duan Zhou now. You have too much influence on him. Besides, you are a snake. Sooner or later you will go to Qinglong Peak to reunite with your own kind."
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhou immediately stood up.
"But Qingsi has something to do recently, so I decided to put you on Baihu Peak. Don't worry, I will release you after your injury is healed. There are many furry creatures on Baihu Peak who like you very much and want to be your friends." Chen Wei felt a little guilty and whispered, "They will treat you very well."
"Why?" The little black snake that Duan Zhou transformed into was trying hard to retract his claws.
"You will get better." Shen Wei thought for a moment and added, "I will visit you every day and give you lots of delicious food to nourish your body."
After saying that, he picked up the cage, took the little black snake out directly, and flew towards Baihu Peak on his sword. The group of furry creatures on Baihu Peak had been waiting outside for a long time. In fact, it was mainly because they took into account that this black snake would transform into a dragon in the future, and the blood pressure would be too great for its own kind. Qingsi might not be able to withstand it, let alone other snake beasts.
The White Tiger Peak is ranked first in combat power, has the strongest strength, and is the most furry, making it very healing. It is perfect to place the evil little black snake here.
Duan Zhou struggled in the cage for a while. He looked at the key that fell on the ground and gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a minute!"
"Brother Duan?" Chen Wei paused subconsciously. He thought he seemed to have heard Duan Zhou's voice. He looked around but didn't see him. Thinking it was an illusion, he immediately continued to fly away on his sword.
Sure enough, when we arrived at Baihu Peak, there were furry creatures everywhere, of all kinds, all over the mountain. It was really a very healing sight to see from afar. Most of them were well-fed, and they came over with their furry tails and heads wagging, and nudged the cage.
"Brother, leave it to me, don't worry." Bai Xiao, with a tiger head and a huge horse and golden sword, sat on the exclusive chair. He didn't look like the leader of a famous and upright sect, but more like a mountain king. His tone was very young, and he said: "I will definitely be able to keep an eye on it! No, I will treat it well!"
