Chapter 8: Love and Feud (5)
For several days in a row, none of the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' appeared, and Zhuge Yixin and Sima Xuanhuang even ventured to go to sea by boat to lure them, but they did not see it. Just as everyone was pondering and thinking about countermeasures, Mrs. Sima summoned everyone to her and said that there was something important to discuss.
In the meditation room, Mrs. Sima first told a story to everyone.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the resurrection of the 'Water Demon Beast' caused chaos in Miaojiang, and Zhuge Wu, who was the patriarch of the Zhuge clan at the time, led the clansmen to fight to the death against the demon beasts in accordance with the method taught by Zhuge Kongming in the Han Dynasty recorded in the clan chronicles, but was defeated by the 'Seven Water Demon Beasts' due to lack of skill. At the time of crisis, a master came in time, not only saved Zhuge Wu but also helped him seal the demon beast, and then the two worked together to seal the 'Eight Water Demon Beasts', but they couldn't resist the 'Nine Heads' form of the demon beasts, seeing that the demon beasts were making waves and poisoning the creatures, the master proposed that the legendary ancient artifact 'Tianhe Shenzhen' was needed to subdue the demon beasts. However, the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' is at the bottom of the East China Sea, and ordinary people can't get it at all. Zhuge Wu thought about it for a long time, and in order to save the people of Miaojiang and Limin, he had to ask for help from the feuding Sima clan to synthesize the mantra of the two clans into a 'water avoidance spell'. The two then visited Sima Kong, who was the patriarch of the Sima clan at the time, and explained that Sima Kong was moved by the righteousness of the two to save the common people, so he left behind the clan grudge and was willing to surrender the demon beast with the two. But Sima Kong was extremely conceited, and promised that if the three of them worked together, they could not defeat the demon beast, and then synthesized the 'water avoidance spell' with Zhuge Wu to get the 'Tianhe Shenzhen', and the three of them were defeated again, Sima Kong was so competitive that he almost lost his life, and Zhuge Wu desperately rescued him and was seriously injured. The two then combined the 'Water Avoidance Spell' and handed it over to the master, who went to the East China Sea to retrieve the 'Tianhe Shenzhen', and the two recovered during this period. The three of them worked together to finally defeat the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' and seal them.
"No wonder this demon beast is afraid of the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' in my brother-in-law's hands, it turns out that it suffered a big loss hundreds of years ago." Singh pouted and interjected.
Paya glared at him, signaling him not to interrupt others so rudely, and Singh did not dare to interject again.
"That's true, although this demon beast can continue to resurrect, the painful lesson should be remembered very clearly, and it was injured again by the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' a few days ago, I am afraid that it will not be easily fooled again." Mrs. Sima said.
"Madame just mentioned the water avoidance spell in the deeds of the ancestors, could it be that Madame meant... Kautilia Road.
Madam Sima nodded and said, "In the past few days, I have worked with Master Kujing to comprehend the 'Water Avoidance Spell', instead of spending time with that demon beast here, it is better to go deep into the tiger's den and destroy it directly." ”
"Why does Master Kujing know about my clan's secret arts, and besides, this 'water avoidance spell' can only be known by the patriarch, it is you and me..." Zhuge also asked suspiciously.
"Lao Wei is the senior of your clan, and he has served as the patriarch for a while, so he only knows." Master Kujing said calmly.
After Zhuge Yixin listened, his expression of surprise immediately looked a little disappointed. Mrs. Sima couldn't help but feel a little sad in her eyes.
"I want to announce one thing that you are here today, and I ask you to help me testify." Mrs. Sima suddenly said solemnly, and everyone looked at her together.
"There have been many fights between the Sima and Zhuge tribes since the Han Dynasty, but there have been reconciliations between the two tribes in history. In the past few days, the old body and Master Kujing have been discussing the Dharma, and they have realized many truths in it, and they have also dissolved many sorrows and grievances in my heart. Now, since the secret techniques of our two races can be combined into one, why do our two races have to be incompatible. Today, the old body vows not to be the enemy of the Zhuge clan again, in order to show my heart, I am willing to recognize the girl Yixin as my daughter or daughter-in-law, to see which one she likes. Mrs. Sima said solemnly and kindly.
"Thank you, thank you..." Zhuge Yixin was extremely surprised by this sudden happiness, and he couldn't cry with excitement for a while.
"Thank you, don't you know what it's called? Whichever one you choose, you have to call 'mother'. Mrs. Sima said kindly.
Sima Xuanhuang and Zhuge Yixin hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed to Mrs. Sima, and said in unison: "Thank you, mother." ”
Madame Sima and Master Ku Jing looked at each other and smiled, as if the scene in front of them was also what they had expected.
Zhuge Village rejoices, singing and dancing. Sima Xuanhuang and Zhuge Yixin, as patriarchs, announced the end of the dispute between the two clans for thousands of years, and the clansmen happily agreed. The two then announced that they would marry after sealing the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts', and the two clans have since released their previous suspicions and joined hands.
After the celebration, everyone began to discuss who would seal the demon beast. Zhuge Yixin and Dao Yan are indispensable, although Sima Xuanhuang has recovered from his serious injuries, he still can't use all his strength, but he insists on staying by Zhuge Yixin's side, and everyone has no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Blade Heart and Sima Yingxuan also strongly asked to help eliminate the demon, everyone was worried that the two of them would be in danger due to their lack of ability, so they did not agree to their request, unexpectedly Zhuge Blade Heart actually went to implore Sima Xuanhuang to intercede for him, and Sima Yingxuan was also embarrassed to come to Zhuge Yixin's room to ask her to forgive her for what she had done before, and hoped to do her part for them to subdue the demon beast, and finally Mrs. Sima saw through her daughter's mind, so she decided to be Sima brother and sister, The Zhuge sisters and brothers and the five Dao Yan went to seal the demon beast together.
In the Zen room, five people sat around a porcelain plate filled with water, Zhuge Yixin and Sima Xuanhuang alternated with each other to recite the ancestral mantra, and suddenly saw the black and white jade that was originally still in the porcelain plate chased each other in the water like life, and turned faster and faster, when the two finished reciting the mantra, the two jade actually merged into one, forming a piece of body glowing with a long green light, and the two sides were like the 'new jade' of Taiji Yin and Yang fish. The five of them then reached out to touch this piece of 'new jade' at the same time, and instantly like a breeze blowing through their bodies, with a crisp sound, the piece of 'new jade' in the porcelain plate disappeared, and the plate quietly contained black and white jade.
Zhuge Blade held his breath and put his hand into the porcelain plate, suddenly grinned, stretched out his hand and pulled Sima Yingxuan and ran out of the door. Sima Xuanhuang and Zhuge Yixin smiled helplessly at each other, and after putting away the patriarch's order in the porcelain plate, they walked out of the door with Dao Yan. As soon as he went out, he heard a burst of cheerful laughter, Zhuge Blade Heart was like a swimming fish tossing up and down in the water, Sima Yingyan rolled up the corners of his trousers, stood by the water, raised his hand and brought a splash. Sima Xuanhuang and Zhuge Yixin also came to the edge of the pool arm in arm, caressing the water with their hands, and suddenly Zhuge Blade Heart came out of the water, stretched out his hand and pulled the two into the water, and then quickly swam to Sima Yingxuan's side and raised her in the pool, and the four of them began to frolic in the pool, and beckoned Dao Yan to come over and play together. As soon as Dao Yan was about to pass, he heard someone shouting: "Nonsense, this is a quiet place for Buddhism, hurry up and come up for me." ”
The four of them immediately stopped playing and helped each other up to the edge of the pool to stand. I saw Mrs. Sima's face blushing, and Master Kujing next to her was whispering something to her. Master Ku Jing waved his hand to everyone, indicating that it was okay, Madam Sima sighed, and the two continued to walk in the direction of the three towers. The four of them then ran wet and jumped into the pool with Dao Yan, who found that after the body was soaked in water, the nasal cavity seemed to be sealed by an air film, but there was no feeling of drowning, so he walked slowly at the bottom of the pool, and finally ran a few steps, as if he was on the flat ground, and marveled at the magical effect of this 'water avoidance spell'.
