Chitose words

Xie Zhao's gaze paused, his pupils shrank slightly suspiciously, and then he looked around and said:

"Uh"

She looked at Ling You with a sincere and curious look on her face.

"By the way, the steward of Yi Da Luo just said what time dinner will be served tonight. Why am I suddenly hungry?"

As soon as Han Changsheng heard that something was wrong, his mentality collapsed on the spot.

He glared and said angrily: "Azhao, what do you mean? Don't change the subject for me! Don't you also think that this young hero is not qualified to enter the Shentai Palace?"

Xie Zhao was helpless.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, she could only sigh and said: "Changsheng, that's not what I meant.

You have a pure mind, a simple person, and a heart as clear as a spring. In fact, you are the type of person who is very suitable for practicing the Shentai Palace technique.

It's just that Shentai Palace may not be suitable for you. If you really become a disciple of Shentai Palace, you may not be truly happy in the future. It's better to let go of this undesirable thought as soon as possible. "

Han Changsheng naturally didn't believe it and worshiped under the gate of Shentai Palace. This was a dream he had kept in mind since childhood!

How could one's determination be easily shaken by a few words?

He immediately said with a suspicious look on his face: "How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense!

If this young man can become a disciple of Shentai Palace, I can't believe how happy he will be! How could you not be happy? "

Xie Zhao held a sheepskin bag filled with hot water in his hand, and quietly raised his clear eyebrows to look at the young man in front of him.

"Oh? Really? The Shentai Palace has been taught by the ancestors and will be loyal to the Tianchen royal family of the Southern Dynasty for generations. This is a fact known to everyone in the world. I think you should also know it."

Han Changsheng had a baffled expression on his face.

"I, I know. What's wrong? I am originally a citizen of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty. Even if I don't enter the Shentai Palace, I will never betray the dynasty in the future?
  Therefore, there is nothing unacceptable for Tianchen people. "

Xie Zhao slowly shook his head.

"No, the people of Tianchen are different from the people of Xijiang, they are free.

Let me say something that is not in line with my status. If a citizen of Tianchen feels that his life is not satisfactory, then as long as the procedures are complete, it will be allowed to move his family to another country. It is not a so-called crime - in other words , the people of Tianchen are free.

But this is not the case for the disciples of Shentai Palace. Ever since they entered Shentai Palace, they have been members of Shentai Palace in life and death. They must never betray the Tianchen royal family in this life. "

Xie Zhao saw that Han Changsheng still seemed unwilling to give up, so he continued:
  "Furthermore, you think too simply about longevity. Let me ask you, what is the most famous secret skill in the Shentai Palace?"

Han Changsheng scratched his head, thinking that this was a test before entering the Shentai Palace, so he answered in an extremely serious tone:
  "Of course they are divination, star-picking, and the Great Sanskrit Sound Technique and the Lesser Sanskrit Sound Technique."

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which of these skills is the most well-known?"

Han Changsheng's eyes shone and he blurted out:
  "Of course it's divination! This divination is also called sky-gazing. It is said that it can predict a certain part of the future!

You can also use divination and ask the heavens to figure out the best strategy. This is the most famous body-building technique of the high priests of the Shentai Palace in the past dynasties! "

Xie Zhao nodded lightly and said: "It seems that you know something about divination...

If this is the case, then do you know why the successive high priests of the Shentai Palace, no matter how high their martial arts level, never lived past the age of destiny? "

Han Changsheng was stunned.

Yup
  The skills of Shentai Palace are so unparalleled in the world, and divination is a recognized art in the world.

And most of the previous high priests of Shentai Palace were top masters in the Void Realm. Why did they not live to be fifty years old?

Isn't it said that the higher the level of martial arts, the longer the life of a peerless master?

Even masters at the Holy King Realm can prolong their lives and may reach the age of [-] or [-] when they die. So why have the successive high priests of the Shentai Palace above the Void Realm been so short-lived?
  Ling You and Bo Xi both spoke out, frowning in unison:
  "Is it because they have practiced divination?"

Han Changsheng looked stunned when he heard this, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao nodded slightly and said softly with no expression on his face:
  "Yes, the divination skills of Shentai Palace are indeed mysterious and unpredictable.

It's just that for those who practice divination, the more advanced they become, the more their lifespan will be reduced.

In particular, the more times divination is used, the harder it is to live longer. I have said it so clearly and straightforwardly, Han Changsheng, do you understand? "

Han Changsheng was stunned and blurted out:
  "——How is this possible? If it comes at the expense of oneself, isn't this equivalent to evil deeds?

Why do the disciples of Shentai Palace still practice this technique, and why do the successive high priests still practice this technique?
  Could it be that in order to reach the top of martial arts, he would risk his life and die in his prime? " Xie Zhao looked at him with calm eyes and said slowly:
  "No, it has been more than [-] years since Shentai Palace was established. Have you ever seen Shentai Palace recruiting disciples during this time?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Yes
  Why has Shentai Palace, which is rumored to be the number one sect in the world, never recruited any disciples for more than [-] years?

It stands to reason that such a prestigious Jianghu sect should have had groups of disciples and disciples all over the world.

For example, the world's number one sword sect, Fuji City, located in the snowy mountains of Kunling Mountains in Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty, Guangling City, the imperial capital of Hanyong, and the powerful children of the Thirty-Six Tribes of Hanyong, all regard it as a privilege for their disciples to worship under the gate of Fuji City. Rong, Fuji City has always recruited disciples from children with swordsmanship talents in the world.

But what about Shentai Palace?

It seems that this prestigious and top martial arts sect in the world is so low-key that it is almost invisible. Not only has it never openly recruited disciples, but its number of people has been declining from generation to generation.

As for the inner disciples accepted by the high priests of the Shentai Palace in the past dynasties, there were only a handful of them.

As for the outer disciples, each generation only has a few dozen at most.

In the huge Shentai Palace, there are more Taoist priests and Taoist boys who serve the shrines and do not learn the secret techniques of the Shentai Palace.

So why is this?

The three of them frowned.

Xie Zhao continued calmly: "That's because the skills of Shentai Palace have long been different from ordinary martial arts, so it is also called the art of transforming the outside world.

Divination, in particular, is the most special skill among the major skills in Shentai Palace.

But mortals are mortals after all, and there are only a very small number of people who are exceptionally clear-minded and have the talent to practice divination.
  Secondly, even if someone has the talent to practice the Shentai Palace Kung Fu, if he is not really desperate, homeless, has no relatives and no family, and he is very determined to have a Taoist heart, then the Shentai Palace will not take him in. They got started.

——This is why for hundreds of years, most of the disciples of Shentai Palace have not been involved in the world, and most of them have kept a low profile and rarely made any movements in the world. "

She shook her head slightly and said in astonishment:
  "Although the Shentai Palace Kung Fu is powerful, it would be a crime to wantonly restrain the disciples who are interested in it."

In fact, almost all the inner disciples of Shentai Palace were poor people or orphans who were homeless and had no home to belong to.

When they were young, they had seen the ups and downs of the world, and they were overwhelmed by the mortal world. They knew that divination was a path of no return destined to die young, and they were willing to step into the outside world and never enter the world again.

Why do every inner palace disciple of the Shentai Palace have to kneel in front of the temple, burn incense, lift the cauldron, and devote themselves to worshiping the gods for an hour before entering the palace?
  That's precisely because the moment when they held the incense burner with their own hands was the last chance for them to think carefully and regret!
  Otherwise, once you enter the inner sect and practice divination, you will never be able to return to the past.

Han Changsheng was dumbfounded and did not come back to his senses for a while.

The disciples of Shentai Palace have always been admired and admired by the world, but no one has ever known the inside story. It turns out that they are all such miserable people.
  Ling You and Bo Xi frowned slightly, both looking at each other in silence.

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out that the divine divination technique in the Shentai Palace that attracts the attention of the world can actually bring such serious consequences to the practitioners.

The next moment, Ling You suddenly thought of something and immediately frowned and said:
  "Then, since you are also a disciple of the Shentai Palace, could it be that you have also practiced this kind of divination?"

She is the goddess of the Shentai Palace and a close disciple of the former high priest Feng Zhi.
  If Xie Zhao also practices divination, doesn't it mean that she will not survive the age of destiny?
  Xie Zhao heard Xian Zhiya's intention and instantly understood what Ling Huo was worried about. She smiled and shook her head slightly.

"I don't. As a person like me, I've always had a lot of things in my heart since I was a child, and my thoughts are too messy and complicated.

My master, High Priest Feng Zhi, once said that unless I could completely get rid of worries and let go of the three thousand worries of the world, I would never have the talent to practice divination and see into the sky. "

Ling You and Bo Xi both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "It's okay, it's okay."
  When Xie Zhao said this, he suddenly sighed with regret, shook his head and said:
  "Actually, if the successive high priests of the Shentai Palace had not inherited the ancestral teachings, they would have become the last barrier for the Tianchen royal family. I am afraid that this kind of technique that is both mysterious and harmful to the human body would have been abandoned by the Shentai Palace a long time ago. So."

Xie Zhao turned his head and looked at Han Changsheng steadily.

"The so-called 'number one sect in the world' is actually nothing more than a dying tiger trapped in the old ancestral oaths with a chain around its neck.

——And the other end of the chain was held in the palm of the Southern Dynasty Fu family from beginning to end.

Changsheng, no matter whether you blame me or not, I can tell you frankly that I will never open this 'back door' for you and let Nanxu accept you as my disciple.

You are a young master who ran away from home to make his way in the hustle and bustle of the world. The elders in your family love you, protect you, and wait for you. You are by no means homeless, and you also belong to the world of mortals and crave the warmth of the world. "

She looked into the young man's dull eyes and said softly:

“This matter ends here, and you don’t need to mention it again.

Shentai Palace. You shouldn’t go, and you can’t go. "
