Chapter 175

"Hey, my futon is more comfortable to sit on. Brother Lingxin Taoist's enlightenment futon is certainly good, but it's a pity that my old bones can't bear it. You can say it's irritating or not."

Venerable Du'e sat on the leather sofa he brought, lying on it with his whole body, holding a cigarette in his hand and taking a puff from time to time, looking extremely comfortable.

Seeing his expression, everyone present immediately looked at the sofa under him.

"Brother Du'e, this is your futon, why does it look like this?"

Upon hearing these words, Lord Du'e first carefully flicked the cigarette ashes on the left side of the sofa, for fear of burning his leather sofa, and then replied slowly:

"This was also given to me by my unlucky apprentice Yang Lin Xiaojing. What's the name of the sofa? It says it's comfortable to sit on, but in fact it's just that. Why don't you guys try it?"

After saying that, he stood up.

The Mahayana Venerable closest to him hesitated and sat on it. His expression changed the moment he sat on it.

In the past, when he practiced, he usually sat cross-legged on a stone platform. Occasionally, he would choose a futon with special functions, but sitting on either a stone platform or a futon would be very uncomfortable.

But this sofa was different. It was so soft that he couldn't believe it. Coupled with the supportive backrest at the back, it was incredibly comfortable.

"Fellow Taoist Yuzhu, is this sofa comfortable?" A short Mahayana venerable on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Wait a minute, I'll feel it again." Venerable Yuzhu moved his buttocks. "It's really good."

"Then get out of the way and let me try."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Ten minutes later, all the Mahayana sages present sat on the sofa for a while.

Just like Venerable Yuzhu, you don't want to get up after sitting on them.

After finally getting up, everyone turned their attention to Venerable Du'e.

"Brother Du'e, why are there so many good things here? You must be too filial as a disciple."

"You disciples of Luofu Holy Land are not only eager to learn, but also so filial. Unlike our disciples of Tianqiong Holy Land, each one of us is unable to practice well or be virtuous."

"Yes, when I left earlier, I saw that the disciples of you Luofu Holy Land were still immersed in practicing there, and there was no interference from the outside world from beginning to end."

"The wine is good, the cigarettes are good, and this sofa is even better. I want to buy a sofa for my cave."

"Brother Du'e, can you ask your disciple where you bought these things?"

...

Listening to everyone's words, Venerable Du'e became more and more proud. It was obvious that he had succeeded in pretending this round, and he had pretended to be a big one.

"I have to explain this to you carefully. You probably don't know the changes that have taken place outside in recent days."

"Today's Tianyuan Continent is not the Tianyuan Continent before. In the past, if we wanted to buy anything, we had to travel thousands of miles with our swords. Now you only need a mobile phone to buy anything you want. "

"This is true for cigarettes, alcohol, sofas, magic weapons, and elixirs."

"Mobile phone?" Upon hearing these two words, the expressions on the faces of all the Mahayana venerables present also changed.

Some people were confused, obviously they had never heard of it, and some people frowned, as if they didn’t have much fondness for mobile phones.

Venerable Du'e was not surprised at all by the crowd's performance. He picked up a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth.

"You have all lived for a long time, so don't be so conservative in your thinking. To be successful in life, you must have all the joy you can, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. I think this sentence is quite reasonable."

"Can you guarantee that you will be able to successfully overcome the tribulation? Anyway, I can't. In our Holy Land of Luofu, there are more than a hundred people who have cultivated to the Mahayana for thousands of years, but in the end, only a dozen people succeeded in overcoming the tribulation and ascended to the upper world. The others Either he becomes a cultivator and retreats behind the scenes to protect the sect, or his body and soul are destroyed and his wisdom is destroyed and he falls into reincarnation."

"My senior brother went through the tribulation. He started to retreat 500 years ago. He never stepped out of the cave for 500 years. He thought he was fully prepared. However, when he was going through the tribulation 20 years ago, his inner demon attacked and finally turned into a demon in front of me. Fei Hui, at that time I was thinking about what the purpose of cultivating immortality is, is it a chance that is less than one in ten? "

As he spoke, Venerable Du'e poured himself another glass of wine, and drank the whole glass of wine with a tilt of his neck, with unconcealable sadness on his face.

Everyone present could not help but look at each other in shock after hearing his words. Apparently they had the same experience.

The situation in the Eight Holy Lands is basically the same. Once a disciple enters the Mahayana, they will basically enter the sect's ancestral land to start retreat and prepare for the tribulation. Generally, only one or two Mahayana monks will be left to preside over the work outside.

Although it was not stated explicitly, all of them knew that the reason why they were left outside was because they had the worst qualifications and the smallest chance of surviving the catastrophe. They were left to handle the sect's affairs. It is also the approach that is most conducive to the development of the sect.

Because of this, their already slim chance of ascending has become even lower. If others have a one-tenth chance of ascending successfully, then theirs is one percent, which basically means they will die.

When I thought of this, the atmosphere in the cave became even weirder.

But at this moment, Venerable Du'e raised his glass again.

"Let's drink wine today, and worry about tomorrow tomorrow! Don't think too much. With our realm, even if we don't practice, we can at least live for thousands of years. We can do whatever we want in these thousands of years. We just need to follow our own hearts. Even if we die, we must not leave any regrets."

"Come on! Let's drink this cup together!"

As soon as these words came out, more than ten Mahayana monks present immediately raised their cups together.

A bottle of Five Spirits Liquid was finished in the midst of toasts. Seeing this, Venerable Du'e took out his mobile phone and opened Douyin.

"Aren't you curious about where this wine and this sofa came from? Today I will open your eyes and take a look."

Hearing these words, more than ten Mahayana monks present immediately gathered around him one by one, looking at his mobile phone screen with curiosity.

Venerable Du'e wanted to buy a few bottles of wine from the official store of Sihai Pavilion to continue drinking, but as soon as he opened Douyin, a beautiful female cultivator dancing passionately appeared on the screen.

Embarrassed, he quickly swiped the screen, but after swiping more than a dozen videos, the videos that appeared were all borderline types.

The atmosphere on the scene became more and more awkward.

"This is my boy's phone. He likes to watch these messy and decadent things on weekdays. Don't mind it."

"Forget it, I'll buy a new phone."

While explaining, Venerable Du'e found the official store of Sihai Pavilion through search and placed an order to buy a new phone.

At this time, another Mahayana Venerable suddenly said:

"Brother Du'e, since you have bought a new phone, why don't you give me this old phone."

As soon as this was said, Venerable Du'e quickly refused.

"No, no, no, this phone is not mine either. I only have the right to use it. If Brother Benlei wants it, I will buy you a new one."

"That's fine."

"Brother Du'e, can you buy me one too?"

"I want it too."
