1497 The Hall of Life and Death (2/2)
Bu Xiangfeng smiled bitterly because of anger. ”Fine. I will do it!”
Bu Xiangfeng questioned Ye Xiao only because he thought it was not a good idea. However, Ye Xiao said Bu Xiangfeng didn't have friends because he was mean.
That was quite a misunderstanding!
”Just do it as I say.” Ye Xiao said, ”The Hall of Life and Death, where it provides absolute survival. There is a cottage in the woods over there, a little far from this courtyard. I will make a sign and do some decoration. I will be expecting our guests to come.”
Bu Xiangfeng felt a headache. 'Really? Is this going to work? Isn't it a bit too simple? Well, absolute survival seems to be resonant, but do you have the capability to guarantee absolute survival? What are you? A god of medicine?'
”Oh, right. There is one more thing. The three men that you are going to speak to must be beyond level six of the Divinity Origin Stage!”
Ye Xiao seriously said.
”Okay! I will make sure of it.”
Bu Xiangfeng said, ”I don't know whether it will work or not, to be honest.”
”I said it. Just do as I say. It is not your problem to worry about.” Ye Xiao was casual, looking confident like a god of medicine.
The walls around the area were half done now. Ye Xiao was excited. 'This will be the first step of my great glory! I will rush to the top of the Human Realm Upon Heavens!'
'If I miss this special time, it will be more difficult to rise.'
…
That night.
Bu Xiangfeng went out sneakily like a cloud of smoke.
In a normal room of an ordinary inn.
A man in black clothes who looked normal sat in meditation with a normal dark sword on his knees.
He was breathing, but his breath was so weak. He just sat inside the room, and nobody outside the room could notice his existence.
When people looked through the window and saw the man inside, they would probably think it was a sculpture.
The wind blew outside the window.
The man suddenly opened his eyes and then stared at the window. He was calm and cold.
A shadow appeared near the window and said, ”Ping Shanyue, are you truly still alive?”
The man in black clothes didn't move, just answered coldly, ”A nasty man like you is still alive. Why would I die so soon?”
The shadow was exactly Bu Xiangfeng, who was moving slowly into the room with a smile. Ping Shanyue was still sitting in meditation. He didn't want to even look at Bu Xiangfeng.
Bu Xiangfeng got into the room and paced around Pin Shanyue. Suddenly, he sighed and said, ”Ping Shanyue, I cut you with my sword one hundred and seventy years ago. How are you? Does it still hurt?”
Ping Shanyue peacefully opened his eyes, looked at Bu Xiangfeng, and said, ”Why don't you let me cut you back now? You will know whether it still hurts after one hundred and seventy years.”
Bu Xiangfeng laughed loudly. Apparently, he wasn't angry about it.
”Why are you here?” Bu Xiangfeng asked. ”How much do they pay you? I guess it must be a lot!”
”It is none of your business.” Ping Shanyue blandly said.
”It doesn't concern me. I am just curious. You are such a man who thirsts for blood. How do you survive this? This is incredible.” Bu Xiangfeng chuckled, sat down, and started to drink tea by himself.
Ping Shanyue didn't cave in. ”It is not a surprise that I can survive. It is you that surprise me. Considering how mean and shameless you are, I can't believe you are still alive. I think it surprises many people, not just me.”
”You are mean! You are shameless! You whole family is.” Bu Xiangfeng laughed and said, ”Ping Shanyue, I am here to tell you something big.”
Ping Shanyue said, ”Speak.”
”We are not friends. I know that. Well, but you are a tough man. I don't want to be your friend or your brother, but… I have to say I admire you. I guess you have the same feeling about me.”
When he said so, he meant it.
Ping Shanyue thought for a while, didn't speak and just nodded.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
They both did something great in their lives, and they were so similar to each other. It was not a surprise that they admired each other.
”You shouldn't have come to the City of Chaos. You really shouldn't.” Bu Xiangfeng said, ”The city is now a powder magazine full of bombs… Once it is triggered, the world will be turned over. Most of the cultivators in the city will be killed. I have no idea why you came, but here is something I want you to know. I hope that you remember what I am going to say, because it may save your life! One should always try to live on first!”
Bu Xiangfeng was solemn and serious. Ping Shanyue was serious too. He said, ”Okay, I won't forget. Say it.”
It must be something important.
”If you are dying because of any severe injury… go to the Hall of Life and Death!” Bu Xiangfeng took a breath and said, ”That place can give you a second opportunity to live. It can cure you no matter how severely you are injured.”
Ping Shanyue raised his eyebrows and stared at Bu Xiangfeng.
”I am serious!” Bu Xiangfeng said, ”I don't want you to die. I hope that you don't need to go to the Hall of Life and Death. It is not an enjoyable place after all. There is always a price to pay for a second chance. I feel lonely in this martial world. Knowing that you are living in the same world, I feel better. I hope that you won't get hurt. Trust me. It is not a good place to go…”
Ping Shanyue looked at Bu Xiangfeng and said, ”What? Do I need to go to the Hall of Life and Death? What is the price?”
Bu Xiangfeng said, ”To get their aids, you will make a promise. You can choose one from the two options. First, you can choose to stay and serve the man who cures you. You will become his follower for the rest of your life. You won't need to pay anything if you choose this one. Second, you can pay the extremely high price, and promise that you will do one thing for the Hall of Life and Death. You will have to vow with the blood of your heart. To be honest, the second choice is selling your good life out. This is all I know.”
Ping Shanyue nodded and said, ”That is cruel.”
”I know. I am warning you. Don't get yourself hurt too bad. Before you make sure you are absolutely dying, do not go to the Hall of Life and Death. The owner of that place never does charitable things. He is a marvelous therapist, but he is not a man with kindness. All he is after is a benefit.” Bu Xiangfeng said, ”If you truly are dying… and if you don't want to die, just go to the Hall of Life and Death. Remember this. It is in the city. It saves lives! It brings you back from death!”
Ping Shanyue stayed quiet for a while and then murmured, ”The Hall of Life and Death, in the city.”
After a while, he nodded and said, ”I will not forget it. Old Bu, if I am dying, and eventually get saved by the Hall of Life and Death, I will owe you big time.”
