Chapter 175
"Hey, my cushion is more comfortable. Brother Lingxin's meditation cushion is good, but it's a pity that my old bones can't enjoy it. Isn't it annoying?"
Venerable Du'e sat on the leather sofa he brought with him, lying on it, holding a cigarette in his hand and taking a puff from time to time, looking very comfortable.
Seeing his expression, everyone present immediately looked at the sofa under him.
"Brother Du'e, this is your cushion, why does it look like this."
Hearing this, Venerable Du'e first flicked the ash carefully on the left side of the sofa, fearing that he would burn his leather sofa, and then slowly replied:
"This is also given to me by my unpromising apprentice Yang Lin. What's the name of the sofa? It's said to be comfortable to sit on, but it's just that. Why don't you try it?"
After speaking, he stood up.
The Mahayana master who was closest to him sat on it after hesitating for a while, and his expression changed the moment he sat on it.
In the past, he usually sat cross-legged on the stone platform when practicing, and occasionally chose a cushion with special effects, but whether it was a stone platform or a cushion, it would be very uncomfortable to sit on it.
But this sofa was different. It was so soft that he couldn't believe it, and with the backrest that had a supporting function at the back, it was extremely comfortable.
"Daoyou Yuzhu, is this sofa comfortable?" A short Mahayana master at the side couldn't help asking.
"Wait a minute, let me feel it again." Yuzhu master moved his butt. "It's really good."
"Then get out of the way and let me try it."
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Ten minutes later, all the Mahayana masters present sat on the sofa one by one for a while.
Like Yuzhu master, they didn't want to get up after sitting on it.
After finally getting up, everyone looked at Du'e master in unison.
"Brother Du'e, how come you have so many good things here? Your disciple is so filial."
"The disciples of your Luofu Holy Land are not only studious, but also so filial. Unlike our disciples of the Tianqiong Holy Land, they are not good at cultivation and morality."
"Yes, when I left before, I saw that the disciples of your Luofu Holy Land were still practicing there, and they were not disturbed by 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 in my cave."
"Brother Du'e, can you ask your disciple where these things are bought?"
......
Listening to the words of the crowd, Venerable Du'e became more and more proud. This round was obviously a success for him, and he pretended to be a big one.
"I have to explain this to you. You probably don't know what has changed outside these days."
"The Tianyuan Continent today is not the Tianyuan Continent before. In the past, if we wanted to buy something, we had to fly thousands of miles on a sword. Now we can buy anything we want with just a mobile phone."
"Cigarettes, alcohol, sofas, magic tools, elixirs, all the same."
"Mobile phone?" Hearing these two words, the expressions on the faces of the Mahayana masters present also changed.
Some were at a loss, obviously they had never heard of it, and some frowned, as if they didn't have much of a good impression of mobile phones.
Du'e Master was not surprised at all by the performance of the crowd. He picked up a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth.
"You guys are already old, don't be so conservative. When you are happy, you should enjoy yourself to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon in vain. I think this sentence makes a lot of sense."
"Can you guarantee that you can succeed in overcoming the tribulation? Anyway, I can't. In the past ten thousand years, there have been more than a hundred people who have cultivated to the Mahayana in my Luofu Holy Land, but only more than ten of them have successfully overcame the tribulation and ascended to the upper realm. The others either turned to practicing as a scattered immortal and retreated behind the scenes to protect the sect, or died and lost their spiritual wisdom and fell into reincarnation."
"My senior brother Du Nan started to close the death gate 500 years ago. He never stepped out of the cave for 500 years. He thought he was fully prepared, but 20 years ago, when he was overcoming the tribulation, the inner demon attacked him and finally turned into ashes in front of me. At that time, I was wondering what the purpose of cultivating immortals was. Is it for that less than one in ten chance?"
As he said this, Venerable Du'e poured himself another glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank the whole glass of wine, with an unconcealable sadness on his face.
Everyone present who heard his words looked at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that they had the same experience.
The situation in the eight holy places was basically the same. Once a disciple entered the Mahayana stage, he would basically enter the ancestral land of the sect and begin to close the door in order to prepare for the tribulation. Generally, only one or two Mahayana monks would be left outside to preside over the process.work.
Although it was not said openly, they all knew that the reason they were left outside was because they had the worst qualifications and the probability of surviving the heavenly tribulation was the lowest. It was also the most beneficial to the development of the sect to let them handle the mundane affairs of the sect.
Because of this, their already slim chance of ascending became even lower. The probability of others ascending successfully was one in ten, and theirs was one in a hundred, which was basically equivalent to certain death.
When he thought of this, the atmosphere in the cave became even more strange.
But at this moment, Venerable Du'e raised his glass again.
"Drink today and worry tomorrow! Don't think too much. With our realm, even if we don't practice, we can at least live for thousands of years. In these thousands of years, we can do whatever we want. 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 a dozen Mahayana cultivators present immediately raised their glasses together.
As the wine flowed, a bottle of Five Spirits Liquid was finished. 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. Take a look."
Hearing this, more than a dozen Mahayana Venerables 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 his Douyin, a beautiful female cultivator dancing passionately appeared on the screen.
Embarrassed, he hurriedly swiped the screen, but after swiping more than a dozen videos in a row, the content of the videos that appeared were all borderline types.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more awkward visibly.
"This is my boy's cell phone. He likes to read these messy and decadent things on weekdays. Don't mind it."
"Forget it, I'll just buy a new cell phone."
While explaining, Venerable Du'e found the official store of Sihai Pavilion through search and placed an order to buy a new cell phone.
At this time, another Mahayana Venerable suddenly said:
"Brother Du'e, since you have bought a new cell phone, why don't you give me this old cell phone."
As soon as this was said, Venerable Du'e hurriedly refused.
"No, no, no, this cell phone is not mine. 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."
