The light but powerful voice obviously did not have any majestic tone. However, the moment the voice sounded, the faces of several people in front of the hall showed respect at the same time. They first bowed in unison, and then walked into the hall together.
This was not the first time for these people to come here. Along the corridor in the main hall and through the front hall, a dense bamboo forest finally appeared in front of them.
This bamboo forest obviously grows in this hall, but there is no sense of violation at all. The green bamboos grow densely, and the lush greenness comes to your face, and along with the greenery, there is an almost overwhelming feeling.
A sharp meaning that makes people unable to open their eyes.
It seems that this is not a bamboo forest, but a forest of swords, trees and swords. The killing intention can almost pierce the sky.
Although it was not the first time I came here, at the top of the Nine Peaks, at this moment, I lowered my head subconsciously, squinted my eyes, and my whole body's energy was subconsciously moving to resist the sharpness coming towards my face.
Even so, the leader of the Nine Peaks can still feel the tingling sensation coming from the skin of his body, as if countless blades are pressed against his skin.
Zhu Xuande also lowered his head slightly, and his whole body's true energy circulated, covering his skin to resist the terrifying sharpness that almost penetrated his body through his skin.
Although this place is a bamboo forest, it is called a sword forest by everyone.
The reason why there is such a terrifying sharpness coming towards the face is not because the bamboo in this sword forest is special and has natural phenomena.
It's because the people living in this sword forest are too scary.
This sword forest is the place where Duan Tianhe, the leader of the Qianyang Sect, retreats and practices. The bamboos in this sword forest are just ordinary bamboos that the sect leader found randomly from the outside world and planted them in this sword forest.
However, even ordinary bamboo, growing in this sword forest and accompanying the sect master day and night, was actually imbued with the aura of the sect master, bursting out with such terrifying sharpness.
It is said that when a strong wind blows, the bamboos in the sword forest will even make clanging sword sounds when the bamboo leaves rub against each other, as if the bamboo forest has truly turned into a sword forest.
In the center of the bamboo forest, a simple bamboo house stood quietly. In front of the bamboo house, a middle-aged man in white sat cross-legged. The robe on his body was very simple. It looked like something worn by a country farmer. However, wearing it
This middle-aged man has an aura about him that may be unknown.
The middle-aged man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, breathing calmly, and seemed to be faintly integrated with the sound of the swaying bamboo forest.
Although there are some wrinkles on the face, it is carved with a knife and an axe, just like the heroic god of war in myths and legends.
But for some reason, this middle-aged man's complexion seemed to be a little sickly pale.
The leader of the Nine Peaks stood a few meters away from the man, and they all bowed their hands towards the middle-aged man.
"I've met the sect leader."
brush!
The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes. The moment his eyes opened, it seemed that the entire bamboo forest was bright for a moment.
There was a sense of endless vicissitudes. As the middle-aged man opened his eyes, it instantly filled the entire bamboo forest. It was as if the reincarnation of the world was evolving in those eyes. As the middle-aged man opened his eyes, this lush green bamboo forest...
When I opened my eyes, it seemed that it had become gloomy in an instant, and the greenery seemed to have become a dying struggle before winter.
"You...are here for the matter of the divine religion?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the leaders standing respectfully in front of him and spoke in a calm voice.
"Sect Master Mingjian, we are indeed here for this matter."
The nine people responded in unison, and it was clear that all of the nine leaders looked like old men. Just by looking at their faces, they seemed to be many years older than the middle-aged man in front of them.
However, these nine leaders, standing in front of this middle-aged man, were respectful, like children paying respects to their respected elders.
"If you have any questions, just tell me and I will try my best to answer them for you."
The voice of Duan Tianhe, the leader of Qianyang Sect, had just fallen. The nine people looked at each other, and the leader of Xingfeng stood up and said in a low voice: "Sect Master, may I ask, why do we maintain such hostility towards the divine religion? Just
Just having contact with people from the Divine Religion will be defined as a crime of treason? As far as I know, I have disciples in Xingfeng who have come into contact with the Divine Religion..."
Duan Tianhe glanced at the head of the Star Peak and said calmly: "The Divine Religion is an evil religion and is not tolerated by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Anyone who has too much contact with the Divine Religion will be destined to be unacceptable by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the future."
"But... what's the difference between theistic religions, Buddhism, and the Three Puritan Sects?" the Star Peak Master asked in confusion.
Duan Tianhe shook his head and said: "The Divine Sect... is a completely different organization from Buddhism and the Three Puritans. The relationship between them is quite complicated. You don't need to know. You just need to know what will happen if you get involved with the Divine Sect.
It is enough that it must be miserable."
Seeing that Duan Tianhe didn't want to say more and didn't dare to ask any more questions, the leader of Xingfeng said yes and stepped back.
"But do you still have any questions?"
Duan Tianhe glanced at the few people who had calmed down.
Zhu Xuande saw that the people around him were silent for a while. After hesitating in his heart for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and held his hands towards Duan Tianhe: "Sect Master, I would like to ask, does that divine sect claim that there is a so-called life extension in the sect?"
Is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, several people around looked at Duan Tianhe with some eagerness. Obviously, these people also had the same question in their hearts, but they were just waiting for others to say it first.
Under the expectant gazes of several people, Duan Tianhe's gaze suddenly became profound, and he looked at Zhu Xuande carefully for a few seconds. There seemed to be some profound meaning hidden in his gaze, which made Zhu Xuande feel guilty.
After a long time, Duan Tianhe finally spoke slowly, but the words he spoke made Zhu Xuande's heart beat faster for a moment.
"Yes and no."
Yes or no? What does this mean? Zhu Xuande's heartbeat accelerated for a moment and he asked urgently: "Sect Master, may I ask what this means? Why is it both yes and no?"
"Yes, Sect Master, if you can, you can, and if you can't, you can't. Why does it happen that it is yes or no?"
The leaders of the other peaks also asked urgently at this time.
"madness!"
Suddenly, Duan Tianhe, who had been quite calm and without much emotion, suddenly raised his voice and shouted coldly, with almost a hint of anger in his voice.
As soon as this angry shout came out, all the leaders, who were still a little impatient at first, suddenly became weak and did not dare to say a word anymore.
Duan Tianhe's eyes, which seemed to contain the vicissitudes of the world, were now filled with anger. He glanced at the people on the field coldly and said in a cold voice: "You all think that the so-called method of prolonging life is
, can it really make you immortal easily?”ωωw..net
"The world is so vast that everything must abide by the laws of heaven and earth. Every drink and every peck has its own destiny."
Duan Tianhe stood up slowly. He was surprisingly tall. He was almost over two meters tall. When he stood, he was more than a head taller than the leaders. Although his figure was not considered broad, he still gave them a sense of insignificance.
pressure.
He said sincerely: "There is no free lunch in the world. Everything has its price. If you want to get the secret of immortality from the so-called divine religion, it depends on whether you can pay the price.
!”
"I know that some of you are troubled by longevity. I can understand your feelings, but the divine religion is taking a completely different path, a wrong path."
"After a period of time, I will open a furnace to refine the elixir. If the elixir is completed, I will distribute it to you. I wish you a few decades of longevity. There will be no problem."
"Dare to ask the sect leader..."
Zhu Xuande, the leader of Yaofeng, was silent for a few seconds, clasped his fists again, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what kind of path is the divine sect taking? Is the path we are taking really correct? Now that the world is so big,
It has been thousands of years since even a false immortal has appeared. Why does the sect master think that the path we are taking is the right one, while the path taken by the divine religion is the wrong path?"
As soon as these words came out, the other leaders looked at Zhu Xuande in surprise, obviously not expecting that Zhu Xuande would be so bold to say such words.
This is almost contradicting the sect leader!
Several people were silent and did not even dare to look at the sect leader for fear that the sect leader would be angry. Only Zhu Xuande stared at the sect leader Duan Tianhe, waiting for Duan Tianhe's answer.
Unexpectedly, Duan Tianhe did not get angry. After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke slowly.
"The road we are taking is not a wrong road, it is just a broken road. The road ahead is cut off. If we continue walking, we may fall into the cliff."
"But the divine religion is different. The path they take has been a wrong path from the beginning, a path leading to the abyss. If they continue to walk on it, they are destined to enter the abyss."
There was a hint of decadence in these words, which made the leaders all stunned for a moment.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, please leave."
Duan Tianhe said a lot, and then waved his hand, signaling for everyone to retreat. All the leaders agreed in unison and did not dare to say more.
Zhu Xuande hesitated for a long time, but finally bowed and slowly withdrew along with the leaders.
It wasn't until they exited the hall that the leaders let out a heavy breath.
"It's so scary. Every time I stand in front of the sect master, I feel like I don't dare to breathe. Although the sect master is obviously kind, but standing in front of the sect master, I feel afraid just like my instinct..."
"The strength of the sect master is too strong. He was once the strongest man in the Great Yuan Dynasty. He is no joke... Even if he is injured now, he is still terrifying..."
"Lao Zhu, you are quite brave. You dare to ask the sect master such a question... Oh, Lao Zhu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Someone wanted to joke with Zhu Xuande, but Zhu Xuande took off directly, turned into a rainbow, and flew away from here quickly.
"Whether it's a crossroads or a broken road, my life is approaching and I have no choice!"
Among the rainbows flying rapidly in the sky, Zhu Xuande's eyes flashed with a ruthless look: "Prolong life by a few decades... The more you take the life-extending elixir, the worse the effect. This time you can extend your life by a few decades, but what about next time?"
