Chapter 7: Praising the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Chen Wei: You are not a beast, you don’t understand…
Chen Wei dodged Duan Zhou's question in this way, which made Duan Zhou feel that something was wrong. He tilted his head slightly, glanced at Chen Wei's face, and then changed the way he asked, "What's wrong with saying this? Or is it that Sect Master Shen just doesn't want to tell me?"
Chen Wei touched his nose. It was not that he wanted to hide it, but mainly because he still didn't know what the prototype of the original owner was, so he couldn't say it.
But facing Duan Zhou's question, seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he chose a compromise between making up a story or keeping silent, and said, "Of course it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this is the secret of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. If you want to know, you must be a disciple or guest of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. You are a human sword cultivator, so naturally you can't be a disciple, but if you become a guest..."
Chen Wei paused, then immediately smiled and said, "I will tell you everything I know. I will tell you everything you want to know without hiding anything. Is that okay with you?"
After saying this, Duan Zhou paused for a moment, then he laughed, but did not answer.
Chen Wei's heart sank slightly. It could be seen that Duan Zhou still did not want to stay in the Wanshou Sect, but the opportunity was gone. It would be extremely difficult to find another sword cultivator like Duan Zhou who did not spend money but was also very powerful.
"The Ten Thousand Beast Sect is different from other sects." Chen Wei gritted his teeth, thinking that he was sorry for his fellow practitioners from other sects, so he closed his eyes and started to talk nonsense, saying: "The disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect get along very well, and are united and friendly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wolf howl was heard from the valley over there, and then a bird swooped down and fought fiercely with the wolf. For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere, and feathers scattered. After both birds were injured, they left wailing.
"Unity and friendship?" Duan Zhou looked over there, then glanced at Chen Wei, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"This is just a small accident." Shen Wei added: "They have noble character and never bully the weak."
This time, the sabotage happened right under their noses. A rabbit was almost caught by an eagle in front of Shen Wei. Fortunately, Shen Wei was quick-witted and pulled the rabbit back. When the eagle saw that it was Shen Wei, it was afraid that Shen Wei would tell its own peak master Chi Luan, so it flapped its wings and flew away.
"Oh, you never bully the weak, you have a noble character." Duan Zhou leaned against the tree, gently stroking the long sword at his waist, the corners of his lips subconsciously raised slightly, a smile flashed across his eyes, but his face was serious as he said: "This really is not bullying the weak."
“Ahem.” Chen Wei felt like crying but couldn’t. Why did these furry creatures always spoil the show? Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “They are all very cute.”
This reason was already a bit weak. He thought that this reason did not involve any other elements, and it was indeed very cute, so there should be nothing that could ruin it. As a result, he saw Duan Zhou in front of him couldn't help laughing. Chen Wei was stunned, and asked angrily: "What are you laughing at?"
"Since you are so cute, why are you so afraid of snakes?" Duan Zhou looked at the slightly angry face of the other party and snorted and laughed, "Sect Master Shen."
Chen Wei was trying to use anger to cover up the fact that he felt guilty, but suddenly Duan Zhou called out to him, and he subconsciously responded, "What's wrong?"
"You're really not very good at lying." Duan Zhou was slightly taller than Chen Wei. He lowered his eyes to look at Chen Wei, then bent down slightly and leaned close to his ear, saying, "You should tell me the truth."
The tone was cold. Duan Zhou's breath was warm, but Shen Wei always felt that when the other party approached him, there was an indescribable chill on his body, which made him feel like a snake was wrapped around his neck, which was even more terrifying than Qing Si. Shen Wei's face changed slightly. He subconsciously let go of the hand holding the fox and took a step back, almost stepping on air. This time Duan Zhou did not reach out to help him, and let him stumble in such an embarrassing way.
"What truth? Everything I told you is the truth." Chen Wei raised his head and looked at Duan Zhou. He said, "Every word is the truth. The Ten Thousand Beast Sect is good, and every spirit beast is good. I am not lying."
Duan Zhou stood on the small earthen slope, looking down at Chen Wei who almost sprained his ankle. He said nonchalantly, "Oh, so that's the case. Then let's take it seriously."
As he spoke, his eyes gently fell on Chen Wei's ankle. In fact, such a slight sprain was nothing, at least for a spirit beast of Chen Wei's level, let alone a sprained ankle, even if he fell off the cliff from the top of the White Tiger Peak, he would only be injured and would not kill him.
A spiritual beast like him has already developed thick skin and flesh to a certain level. Ordinary weapons may not even be able to hurt him. At most, they can only hurt his fur. Even if he is pierced, he will not die as long as the point is not fatal.
Therefore, as Chen Wei has been the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect for so many years, the place where these spirit beasts gather should have long been a hunting ground for the cultivators, but in reality no one dared to do so.
"Pretending... not at all." He murmured in a low voice, so soft that Shen Wei couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
When they were returning from Baihu Peak, Duanzhou was walking in front and Chen Wei was walking behind. However, there was one good thing about Chen Wei: he did not bear grudges and could forget many things as long as they were not particularly serious. Therefore, even though he had just been scolded by Duanzhou, he could still follow behind and continue to praise the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, trying to keep Duanzhou.
"Master Shen, the Myriad Beast Sect is full of spirit beasts. Why do you want me, a human swordsman, to stay here? I'll be suspicious if you do that." Duan Zhou stopped walking. Shen Wei behind him almost couldn't stop walking. He was reciting the speech he had prepared the whole time, and he didn't notice the road ahead. After almost bumping into Duan Zhou's back, he immediately reached out to hold onto the tree trunk and said, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Duan Zhou wanted to tease him a little more because he refused to admit it. However, when he met Chen Wei's blank gaze, Duan Zhou subconsciously paused for a moment. He paused and then said, "It's okay. We have seen enough of White Tiger Peak. Let's just fly back on our swords."
"Ah... OK." Chen Wei nodded and replied, "Are you not going to visit Suzaku Peak and Xuanwu Peak?"
"I'm tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow." Duan Zhou said.
This meant that he would have to stay in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for a few more days. Chen Wei was immediately happy. He smiled and said, "Okay, anytime is fine. I told you that it would be best if you stayed here for three to five years. The Ten Thousand Beast Sect is very big. If you stay for a few more days, you will understand what I mean."
The appearance of trying every means to keep Duan Zhou really made Duan Zhou feel that there was some ill intention in this. It was just like when Duan Zhou was still a little black snake, some humans would deliberately set traps as lure in order to capture the little snake for snake soup.
And now Chen Wei's appearance is like a bad guy setting a trap.
Duan Zhou sighed deeply. While he was hesitating, he looked at Chen Wei twice more. Finally, he decided to stay in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for a while longer to see what Sect Master Shen wanted to do.
However, just as they returned to the cabin, an eagle's cry was heard in the sky. Chen Wei raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. An eagle was circling high in the sky and then swooping down. When Chen Wei was about to step forward, he found that Duan Zhou's eyes had turned cold. He saw that he had unsheathed his sword from the corner of his eye. Chen Wei quickly reached out and held Duan Zhou's hand, forcibly pressed the sword back, and said, "Don't do it."
As he was speaking, the eagle had already flown over, and a letter fell down and landed in Chen Wei's hands.
After the flying eagle left, Duan Zhou's back relaxed a little. Snakes and eagles are generally natural enemies, and eagles always like to hunt snakes. So whether it is Duan Zhou or Qing Si, they will subconsciously tense up when they see a flying eagle. This is their nature.
Chen Wei didn't know that the person beside him was not a human swordsman, so he quickly comforted him, "It won't hurt anyone, it's just delivering letters as usual."
"Yeah." Duan Zhou responded. He looked at the flying eagle in the distance, and then said, "Take a look at the letter."
Since Duan Zhou said so, Chen Wei nodded immediately. He opened the letter and after using his spiritual power to open it, the voice transmission inside came out. After listening to the entire letter, Duan Zhou noticed that Chen Wei's face looked a little strange. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong? It's just an ordinary invitation to a sect meeting."
"This..." Chen Wei swallowed his saliva. He was not the original owner. Although his spiritual power and body memories were still there, he was actually far worse than the original owner. It had only been a few days. Even if he was a genius, he could not reach the level of the original owner. If he went to participate in the sect conference in this situation, he didn't know if anyone would notice it.
When he thought of this, Chen Wei felt a little worried, but then he changed his mind and realized that he was just going to watch the sect conference. He was the sect master, not a disciple, so he didn't need to compete on the stage. Thinking of this, he relaxed again. The change in mood only took a few seconds. Duan Zhou, who was standing by, found it a little funny to see him go from a sad face to a relieved one.
The news of the sect meeting soon reached the ears of Qing Si and the others. Since Duan Zhou was not from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they would not bring him to the meeting. Duan Zhou himself was very tactful and said, "I am too tired from walking around today. My injuries have not healed yet and I still need to rest. I will not disturb you for now."
"Okay, then you should rest early and don't overwork yourself." Shen Wei said immediately.
After Duan Zhou left, Qing Si spoke up, "Don't worry, big brother. This sect conference is just for fun. If you don't want to go, any one of us can go."
"Okay." Chen Wei was hoping for this, and he immediately said, "I have lost my memory, and I'm afraid something might go wrong, so this is the only way."
This answer was well-reasoned. When Qing Si heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at Chen Wei with a distressed look on his face. It was hard to imagine such a handsome young man in a green shirt and a folding fan on his waist looking distressed and with tears in his eyes. Chen Wei felt a little guilty when he saw it.
But he didn't dare to tell the truth at this time that he was not the original owner. After all, it felt terrible to say it out loud.
Things like this can only be dealt with after the time is right, at least after the sect crisis is resolved. Otherwise, everyone will die in a year.
Finally it was confirmed that Qing Si personally took his disciples to attend the sect conference. This sect conference was held in the Sword Sect. The mountains were high and the roads were long, but for them it was only a matter of about half a month's flight on a sword.
However, the round trip would take at least a month. Chen Wei calculated that there was only less than a year left before the sect was destroyed.
"Is there any news about the little black snake? The other party is a seriously injured little black snake." Shen Wei suddenly asked.
Usually, snakes come here to Qinglong Peak. Qing Si thought about it, shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I have already told the disciples below to watch carefully. Don't worry, big brother, as long as there is news, I will definitely let you know immediately."
Shen Wei nodded. This was the only way for now.
After finishing the matter of the sect meeting, Chen Wei originally planned to go back to the cabin directly, but Qing Si stopped him from behind and said, "Big Brother."
Shen Wei stopped, looked back at Qing Si, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That human swordsman..." Qing Si frowned. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother, does it have to be him? Can't someone else?"
"Of course you can. The stronger your cultivation, the better. If your cultivation is weak, I'm afraid you'll be killed by the black dragon. Not only will you not be able to save the sect, but you'll also add another wronged soul. At least this sword cultivator must be able to fight the five of us alone." Chen Wei said.
Hearing this, Qing Si narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, a cold look flashed across his eyes, and said, "What is the strength of this human swordsman, do you know it, big brother?"
"I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure, but judging from the strength of his spiritual power..." Chen Wei paused and said, "It should be above mine."
A trace of shock appeared on Qing Si's face. He looked at Chen Wei for a long time, and then he found his voice and asked, "Brother, are you joking? How powerful is your strength? How could this person's spiritual power be higher than yours?"
"Well, I tested him the day he was injured. The spiritual power in his body is so strong that even if my spiritual power enters it, it will be directly shaken away." Chen Wei shook his head and said, "So, it is best to find a way to keep him in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, influence him first, and then tell him the truth, otherwise the sect will be destroyed by the black dragon..."
Before Shen Wei finished speaking, a bolt of lightning almost struck him. Shen Wei stopped talking immediately and looked at the thunderclouds rolling in the sky, feeling even more bitter in his heart.
How come this Heavenly Dao has monitoring capabilities...
At the same time, not only Chen Wei but also Duan Zhou who was practicing noticed the rolling thunderclouds. He immediately opened his eyes, stood up and pushed open the door. Looking at the rolling thunderclouds outside, which were similar to the ones that struck him that day, Duan Zhou's face darkened slightly.
"Is it someone who wants to survive the heavenly tribulation? Chen Wei? Or someone else..." He murmured in a low voice, but soon the thunderclouds dispersed, and everything seemed to be just an illusion. Duan Zhou stood at the door and did not return to the house until Chen Wei came in from outside. He turned his head to look at Chen Wei and said, "You are back."
"I'm back." Seeing him leaning against the door, Shen Wei said, "You're not feeling well, go in and rest."
"There were thunderclouds rolling just now." Duan Zhou paused and said, "I'll come out to see what's going on."
"Oh, it's probably going to rain. It rains a lot in this season. It rained heavily in the forest a few days ago. A mountain stream near Qinglong Peak almost collapsed. Fortunately, there was no landslide." Chen Wei smiled and said, "You can go in. Your injuries have not healed yet. Now you feel better. If the wind blows, it will be bad."
Chen Wei was indeed not good at lying, but he looked up at the sky and spoke in a very serious tone, so much so that Duan Zhou looked at him several times but could not find the problem, and finally just responded: "Okay."
At night, Chen Wei still checked Duan Zhou's injuries. He couldn't help but be amazed at the speed at which his wounds healed. Duan Zhou's upper body clothes were taken off, revealing his injured shoulders and back. He said, "Your medicine is very good."
“As long as it can cure your injury, it is a good medicine.” Shen Wei said.
This medicine for injuries is naturally very good. After all, it is carefully selected by spirit beasts. Everyone knows that spirit beasts have the most sensitive noses, and they will not look down on any medicinal materials that are not very good.
Chen Wei's eyes suddenly fell on Duan Zhou's left shoulder. There seemed to be a line, but it disappeared quickly. He thought he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and found that there was nothing on his left shoulder. Before he could ask again, the medicine in his hand was taken away by Duan Zhou. The other party even put on his clothes and said casually: "I'll do it myself."
"Yourself?" Shen Wei asked, "Many of your injuries are on your back."
"It's okay. I can do it." Duan Zhou's tone was firm. He said, "You can go out. I need to rest."
They had just chatted for a few words when the other party returned to his cold and indifferent tone. Shen Wei felt a little frustrated. He sighed, not knowing why this person was being so irritating, so he could only say, "Okay, then I'll go back to the room. If you have anything, just call me. I can hear you."
"Okay." Duan Zhou responded, speaking concisely.
When Chen Wei stood up and pushed open the door to go out, he carefully closed the door and then strolled back to his room. He was so tired that he almost rolled on the bed for a few times. When he was about to go to sleep, he suddenly remembered that he had not practiced today, so he had to get up and practice again.
As he used his spiritual power, he sighed. He thought that before he traveled through the book, he always believed that flying on a sword and cultivating spiritual power in the world of cultivation were simple things. But now that he felt it, he realized how difficult it was. Each cycle of cultivation consumed a lot of physical strength, and spiritual power could only be restored through continuous practice.
"Sure enough, the whole world is involved." Chen Wei closed his eyes and sighed, "In this world of cultivation, even the spirit beasts are involved."
He was transformed into an animal, yet he still couldn't escape the need to practice.
Suddenly, he remembered the incomprehensible words that Bai Ri Qing Si said before he left. At that time, Qing Si looked at the direction where Duan Zhou left, then looked at Chen Wei, and said: "Boss, I always feel that this sword cultivator is a little strange, I can't tell what's strange, anyway, you should be careful."
Chen Wei has been a little more cautious since then.
At this moment, Duan Zhou, who was applying medicine to himself in the room, turned his head and looked at his shoulder. He shook his clothes lightly, and a demon pattern suddenly appeared on his left shoulder, which looked faintly like a dragon. However, before it could fully emerge, Duan Zhou hid it directly.
He raised his hand to cover his left shoulder and looked back at the wall. On the other side of the wall was Chen Wei. Duan Zhou murmured in a low voice: "Who is this Chen Wei and what does he want to do?"
If Chen Wei knew that he was a dragon or a snake, he might suspect that Chen Wei was trying to take his demon pill, but Chen Wei obviously didn't know, and even the entire Wanshou Sect didn't know. Only Qing Si, who belonged to the same clan as him, had a little feeling, but it was not deep.
So Duan Zhou was really confused.
This Wanshou Sect, this dangerous place, every spirit beast here seems to be hiding a huge secret, a big secret related to him as a "human monk".
