Chapter 6 What kind of furry species are you? Shen Wei: This…………
At night, the mountain was silent. Except for a few spiritual beasts that hibernate during the day and come out at night, all others went back to rest. The other peaks were the first to go to bed. At midnight, of the four peaks and one hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, only Shenwei's place still had lights on.
Duan Zhou was lying on the bed, leaning against the bed. He looked at Chen Wei who came in with a food box, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Perhaps because his tone was a little cold, Chen Wei chuckled twice, put the food box on the table, and said, "We spirit beasts pay attention to what we eat to replenish what we have. You were seriously injured and have just recovered. You still need to be well recuperated. I specially stewed chicken soup and made some food for you."
The chickens are raised in the backyard and the food is grown in the small vegetable garden. Fortunately, Chen Wei has some cooking skills, otherwise it would have been difficult to prepare the food.
Duan Zhou usually lived in the open air and did not have any big requirements for food. After hearing Chen Wei's words, he slightly turned his head to take a look at the so-called food. In fact, Duan Zhou had already smelled the fragrance before the other party brought the food box over.
He looked away and said, "I don't want to eat it, you can take it away."
"How can you not eat?" Chen Wei said immediately: "You are different from us spirit beasts. We can survive for a few days even if we don't eat, but if you human cultivators don't eat, it seems that there will be big problems."
"...fasting." Duan Zhou was talking nonsense. He had clearly eaten a wild rabbit alive before.
"Fasting doesn't mean you're not hungry, it doesn't mean you don't want to eat." Chen Wei said carefully, "How about trying it? I've been stewing the soup for two hours, why don't you try it and see how it tastes."
He cooked this chicken soup himself, from plucking the chicken to making a complete pot of chicken soup, Shen Wei put in a lot of hard work in the process. His timid yet insistent look made Duan Zhou pause for a moment. His eyes were not gentle, but just a little considerate. This look made Shen Wei feel a little creepy, as he felt that this feeling was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had felt it before.
"Okay." Duan Zhou finally agreed. He lowered his eyes and said, "Put the things down."
Chen Wei didn't know why, but whenever he faced Duan Zhou, he always had an indescribable feeling of oppression, as if he was being stared at by some dark, crawling thing. He shook his head, thinking that he was probably overthinking it. After putting the food box on the table, he gave a few more instructions before leaving Duan Zhou's house.
As soon as he went out, he was almost hit by a small green snake above his head. It was the same small green snake he saw when he just woke up in this world. No matter how many times he saw a snake, no matter how beautiful or cute it was, Shen Wei would still be scared.
"Master." The little green snake hooked its tail on the tree branch and said, "It smells so good!"
"You can't eat it." Shen Wei sighed and said, "Unless you turn into a human form."
"I can." The little green snake smiled and spit out its tongue towards Chen Wei. It can be seen that the original owner should be nice to this group of disciples. At least Chen Wei can't see any fear of Shen Wei in these furry eyes, most of them are dependence and admiration.
However, the little green snake's main purpose was not to drink chicken soup. It said, "The peak master asked me to keep an eye on this human swordsman. After all, he is a human, so I still have to be more careful."
"So you're just going to watch here?" Shen Wei was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I dare not get too close. He is too strong. I am afraid that he will chop me with his sword when he sees me." The little green snake was also helpless and said, "I still cherish my life very much."
Shen Wei didn't know whether the little green snake valued its life or not, but he knew that according to the snake's character of appearing and disappearing everywhere every day, sooner or later Shen Wei would be scared.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's okay, go back and rest. I'll watch over this place myself. Everything will be fine."
Chen Wei was not sure what Duan Zhou meant. If the other party was someone who didn't like being stared at, and this little snake was always staring at him, who knows what kind of problem might arise. It was not easy to pick up a sword cultivator, and he had to find a way to keep him in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. He couldn't let him go so easily.
The little snake tilted its head and looked at Chen Wei, who smiled and said, "Go back and rest."
Shen Wei saw the little snake stretching its head towards him. He didn't understand the little green snake's intention, so he stretched out his hand tentatively, and then gently tapped the little snake's head. Sure enough, the little snake immediately spit out its tongue happily, quickly wrapped around the tree trunk and slipped away, disappearing into the night in an instant.
Chen Wei looked at the snake that suddenly appeared and disappeared, and couldn't help laughing after he reacted. He realized belatedly that the cold gaze he felt from Duan Zhou just now should be this little green snake. It was worthy of being the Wanshou Sect where all the spiritual beasts gathered. A little green snake could give such a strong sense of oppression.
The main house where he lived had been renovated in the past few days and he had moved back a long time ago. It happened to be right next to Duan Zhou's house, separated from it by only a wall.
Duan Zhou stood up, opened the food box, sniffed the chicken soup, and wanted to pour it somewhere, but suddenly he remembered that there was cigarette ash on the corners of Chen Wei's clothes when he walked in with the food box. If he guessed correctly, the chicken soup and food were really made by the other party himself.
"Cooked food." Duan Zhou murmured in a low voice: "The leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect is more like a human being than a 'sword cultivator' like me."
His tone was neither salty nor bland, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking, but in the end he drank the bowl of chicken soup. It was not for any other reason, but mainly because he was worried that if he threw it away casually and the other party saw it, he would have to explain himself to avoid the trouble.
What's more, it's just chicken soup, no big deal.
The next day, the third day, the fourth day... After drinking chicken soup for seven consecutive days, Duan Zhou finally didn't want to drink it anymore. When he saw the chicken soup again at night, he couldn't help but ask, "Can we not drink it tomorrow?"
"Yes...sure." Chen Zhou nodded blankly. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you tired of drinking?"
Anyone who drinks chicken soup for seven days will want to escape. Duan Zhou ignored this and just asked, "Why do you like making chicken soup so much?"
"Because I only know how to make chicken soup." Chen Wei spread his hands innocently and said, "This is the simplest. Just pluck the hair and kill the chicken and stew it. It's simple, convenient and nutritious."
These words made Duan Zhou open his mouth, but he had no reason to refute.
However, after drinking so much chicken soup, the effect was very obvious. At least Duan Zhou had started to follow Chen Wei. Although he only followed him from a distance occasionally, it also allowed Shen Wei to see the dawn of victory.
"Are we going to the back mountain later?" Chen Wei said, "I'm going to Qinglong Peak for sure. The bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest over there are delicious. I'll go dig some and bring them back."
"Are you going there in person?" Duan Zhou asked curiously.
"Yes, do you want to come with me?" Chen Wei said, "You haven't visited the Ten Thousand Beast Sect yet, have you? I'll take you for a tour. Among the four peaks and one hall, the scenery at Qinglong Peak is the most beautiful, with bamboo forests and sea of clouds. It's not snowing now, but it will be even more beautiful if it snows."
Duan Zhou listened and nodded. He leaned aside with his sword in his arms, watching Chen Wei describe vividly how beautiful Qinglong Peak was. He asked, "Is that where Qing Si lives? That bamboo-leaf green snake?"
"Ah, yes." Chen Wei nodded and said, "But don't say 'Bamboo Leaf Green Snake' in front of him. That's the name of his species. He has his own name."
"Species..." Duan Zhou didn't know what he was thinking of, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes, and he finally said, "Okay, you lead the way, I'll follow you to see this legendary Qinglong Peak and see the bamboo forest and sea of clouds you mentioned."
Chen Wei originally wanted to take Duan Zhou for a stroll. Now that the other party agreed, he was naturally happy. He put his hand on Duan Zhou's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect is definitely better and more beautiful than the rumors say."
“Let’s wait and see.” Duan Zhou wanted to avoid him, but seeing Chen Wei’s completely defenseless appearance, he somehow continued to stand where he was, letting the other party lean on his shoulder. His eyes fell on Chen Wei’s handsome profile, and he said, “Lead the way.”
Chen Wei was wearing a white robe, a silver belt around his waist, a jade crown on his head, his long hair tied up, and a cloak draped diagonally over his shoulders. With his extraordinarily handsome face, it was hard to take your eyes off him.
Especially when he looked at Duan Zhou with concern, his eyes were extremely pure, and even the most ruthless person would not be able to say a word of refusal.
Qinglong Peak is the closest to Chen Wei's wooden house, so he took Duan Zhou directly there. There is indeed a bamboo forest and sea of clouds here, but there are more snakes. And there are not only snakes on Qinglong Peak, but also lizards, geckos, spiders and other reptiles.
Previously, when Shen Wei asked how to distinguish the disciples of Qinglong Peak from those of Baihu Peak, Wu Man told him that those with hair are from Baihu Peak, and those without hair are from Qinglong Peak.
This method of distinction is simple and clear. When I took a look at it today, I found that this method is indeed very correct.
"Be careful, don't get bitten by a snake." Shen Wei walked carefully, saying, "Almost all the snakes here are spiritual beasts, and they can basically transform, but some of them have very low cultivation, and many are poisonous. If you step on them, they will definitely bite you."
"How poisonous is it?" Duan Zhou asked.
"Have you heard of the seven-step snake?" Shen Wei deliberately frightened him and said with a smile: "So you have to follow me closely, they won't get too close to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of snakes came towards him, almost crawling onto Shen Wei's body. He immediately stood up straight, and when his eyes fell on the large group of very excited little snakes, he felt the hairs on his body stand up. The person behind him still said indifferently: "Oh? They won't get too close to you?"
Chen Wei laughed dryly and said, "Maybe it's because I haven't been here for a while and they really missed me."
Listening to Chen Wei's nonsense, Duan Zhou chuckled subconsciously. After realizing what he had done, he immediately tensed his face. He just watched the snakes rush towards Chen Wei. Chen Wei raised one foot and wanted to put it down, but there was really no place to put it.
Finally, he placed his hope on Qing Si. When he was about to ask Qing Si to come over, he felt his body suddenly lifted into the air. He looked down and found that he was picked up by the waist. Duan Zhou flew on a sword and stopped in mid-air. He held Shen Wei in his arms and said, "Do you still want to go to see the bamboo forest and sea of clouds?"
"Turn...turn to White Tiger Peak." Chen Wei sighed and said, "Let's wait until it snows to see the bamboo sea."
When it snows, these snakes have to hibernate. Although spiritual beasts are different and must hibernate like ordinary animals, most snake spiritual beasts will choose to retreat at this time in order to practice.
Hearing Chen Wei's helpless voice, Duan Zhou raised a small arc at the corner of his lips. He immediately changed direction and headed for Baihu Peak. The sound of wind poured into Chen Wei's ears, and his clothes were rustling. This feeling of being held in someone's arms was a bit strange. He wanted to get down, but as soon as he moved, he heard Duan Zhou say: "If you move recklessly while flying on the sword, you will fall down."
Shen Wei immediately became obedient.
This was definitely not like the Shen Wei in the rumors. Duan Zhou had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything. In fact, he could just raise his hand to set up spiritual energy protection next to him to help Shen Wei avoid the wind, but he didn't. He just looked at Shen Wei's slightly embarrassed appearance and found it a bit interesting.
What made him find it even more interesting was that the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was actually afraid of snakes, did not know the true location of the Four Peaks, and did not even know that he could use his spiritual power to form a protective shield to block the wind.
Or maybe Shen Wei is pretending to be like this, does he have some other intention?
The more Duan Zhou came into contact with Chen Wei, the more he felt that this man had more and more secrets and contradictions, which made him somewhat interested.
When they arrived at Baihu Peak, Duanzhou picked a flat place at random and put Chen Wei down. As soon as he arrived here, other small animals seemed to have received some message and rushed over. A bunch of rabbits, squirrels and other furry creatures crowded over. Duanzhou was just about to step over them when a gust of wind rushed over from the side. Duanzhou subconsciously took a step back. The wind didn't stop at Duanzhou at all and rushed directly into Chen Wei's arms, knocking him back several steps. There was a slope behind him, and Chen Wei stepped on empty air and almost fell down.
Duan Zhou immediately prepared to step forward, but someone was faster than him and Chen Wei fell directly on a white tiger. Needless to say, the white tiger knew who it was.
"Brother." Bai Xiao came close to Shen Wei, sniffed him, and then said, "Are you not hurt?"
After saying that, it looked directly at a fat white fox that rushed into Shen Wei's arms, with a hint of warning in its eyes. The white fox immediately rolled itself into a small ball and hid in Shen Wei's arms, refusing to come out.
"I'm fine." Chen Wei shook his head and said with a smile, "I thought you were not at White Tiger Peak today."
Normally, Bai Xiao would lead his disciples to patrol the outskirts of the sect and search the territory to prevent other people or spirit beasts from sneaking in. Today, it happened that Chen Wei looked back at the slope and realized that it was not very dangerous. Even if he fell, he would not be seriously injured. He was a transformed spirit beast. Although he did not know what his original form was, his skin was always thicker than that of a mortal human.
"I was supposed to go on patrol, but I happened to meet Qing Si today. He said he was going, so I didn't go." Bai Xiao said.
He and Qing Si seemed to be on bad terms, and usually acted separately. This was within Shen Wei's expectations. He nodded, looked at the white ball in his arms, and then said, "I'll bring Duan Zhou over to see the Four Peaks and One Palace."
In fact, Bai Xiao had seen the broken boat next to him early in the morning, but he didn't know why Chen Wei brought this person here. When Chen Wei mentioned it, he said, "The most common spiritual beasts in Baihu Peak are these spirit beasts. Big brother, you guys can look at them as you like. I'll follow you."
"No, go and do your own thing." Shen Wei waved his hands. This tiger gave him a lot of oppression, especially since Bai Xiao liked to rub against him every time. The white tiger didn't know how strong it was, so Shen Wei's face was covered with saliva every time he was rubbed.
The most important thing is that the tiger's tongue has barbs. If a mortal were licked by it, his skin would be torn apart.
Hearing that Chen Wei didn't need him to accompany him, Bai Xiao's originally happy tail gradually drooped down. He shook his round and furry ears a little aggrievedly, and then said: "Big Brother..."
"It's enough for me to accompany it." Chen Wei gently shook the fat fox in his arms, and then smiled and said: "What's more, there is also a sword master."
As he spoke, Bai Xiao glanced at Duan Zhou standing beside him. He looked him up and down, and it was obvious that he didn't take him seriously at all. He leaned close to Chen Wei's ear and whispered, "Boss, are you sure it's this sword cultivator? He looks very weak."
"Don't underestimate him." Chen Wei also looked back at Duan Zhou, then said with a smile: "I think he can do it."
In terms of providing emotional value, if Shen Wei is second, no one dares to claim to be first.
There was a hint of surprise in Duan Zhou's eyes. He obviously didn't expect Chen Wei to be so confident in him, but he still didn't understand why both Chen Wei and the other spirit beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect always mentioned the word "sword cultivator", as if they were looking for a sword cultivator.
Sure enough, after a while, Chen Wei coaxed the white tiger away, and then came to Duan Zhou and said, "The one just now was Bai Xiao, the leader of the White Tiger Peak. Most of the animals in the entire White Tiger Peak are furry, like this one."
The timid and fat fox in his arms stretched out its head, looked at Shen Wei carefully, kissed Shen Wei's hand while he was talking, and then quickly slipped away, hiding in the bushes and watching Shen Wei.
"That fox..." Duan Zhou hesitated and said, "An ordinary fox?"
"Yes." Chen Wei nodded and said, "Most of the beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect are spiritual beasts, but there are also a few ordinary beasts. This white fox sneaked here on its own. I heard from Bai Xiao that it used to be a three-tailed fox. Later, when it broke through the fourth tail, it was almost struck by the heavenly tribulation and its soul was almost torn apart. Fortunately, it cut off two of its own tails to save its life, but it has since become an ordinary little fox and can only practice from the beginning."
Except for some spiritual beasts with ancient bloodlines that are born with spiritual power, most of the spiritual beasts rely on their own efforts to cultivate.
"What kind of spirit beast are you?" Duan Zhou suddenly asked, "A walking beast or a flying spirit beast?"
"Beast." Chen Wei remembered Qing Si had said before that although the original owner had never revealed his true form, he had furry ears and a tail. Only beasts could have these two features.
"Then... what kind of animal is it? A tiger? A leopard? Or a rabbit?" Duan Zhou said this as he moved closer to Chen Wei. He carefully observed the changes in his facial expression, but Chen Wei shook his head and said, "It's... hard to say.
