Chapter 35 Entrustment
"Yes, I do!"
With the fall of this sentence, the invisible rhythm spread throughout the heavens and the earth. In the dark, the vow was fulfilled and the contract was established.
And Mo's ethereal voice also fell, "Good." ”
"This is a testament to heaven and earth!"
"Man and God testify!"
"You and I testify together!"
There is neither the Holy Spirit congratulating, nor the singing of fairy birds, nor the visions of heaven and earth, nor the beauty of divine light. The only thing is the response that reverberates throughout the heavens and the earth leisurely, reaching the sky and the nine shades below, spreading all over the four directions.
The sound like a simple bell ringing resounded through the world. At this moment, the oldest first contract of life and death is witnessed here, and all beings have heard of it.
……
"Come forward, then."
Shiki stepped forward as he said.
"This thing is related to the cycle of life and death, it is the important weapon of the underworld, the cause and effect of heaven and earth. Since you carry this cause, you need to take this effect. Mo gently handed the quaint scroll and brush he was holding in his hand to Shiji's hands.
"Remember, thy oath, thy heart."
The moment he took over the quaint scroll and brush, the figure of the four seasons froze. The infinite information, all the mysteries, all the things that mattered to the object in her hand, all came into her sea of consciousness at this moment.
"This ...... This ......", half a ring, the four seasons finally came back to their senses from the infinite information. She couldn't help herself back down, and looked up at Mo with a look of surprise on her face.
"This is just too ......."
Write life and death, judge the number of lives. With such a heavy weapon and such authority, how can someone like her be in charge.
Before she could finish speaking, Mo waved his hand to interrupt her words, "This is cause and effect, and it is also a responsibility, if you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, are you not ready to realize it until now?" ”
“……”
Silence, long silence. Finally, the four seasons held the scroll in his hand and bowed solemnly again, "Yes, this thing and this vessel, I will keep it for the rest of my life." ”
"Heaven and earth notarization, human and god notarization!"
"Well, from this day forward, you are the first judge of this netherworld."
"It's called Yama, it's called Yama. Judge cause and effect, count sins, and suppress the underworld! ”
With the fall of these last words, the vision was reborn on the dark earth. I saw that above the firmament of the underworld, the Dao Xuanguang converged, turned into boundless green, and fell down.
Providence favors it, and destiny adds to it.
At this point, all cause and effect, all fate, the dust has settled.
And Mo looked up at the boundless splendor that fell from the heavenly dome. I saw it, divided into four, and the part that occupied half of the splendor fell on the secluded cherry tree, blended into it, and disappeared in a flash.
And most of the remaining half fell on Mo's head, which was caught by Mo's hand. And the rest basically fell on the body of the four seasons, and only a very small point fell on Yakumo Zi on the side.
Then, without waiting for them to react, it completely melted into their bodies and disappeared without a trace.
"This is ......," Yakumo and Shikumi looked at their bodies in disbelief, trying to find the brilliance that had been integrated into their bodies.
But in the end, it turned out to be in vain. After the brilliance melted into his body, it seemed to really disappear completely, as if it had not existed in the first place.
However, although they didn't understand what it was, they had a vague feeling that it wasn't something bad.
"I see, that's ......", and Mo looked at the brilliant streamer that was collected in the palm of his hand, and a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes: "The settlement of cause and effect, the return of heaven and earth......
Seeing that Shiki and Zi were still trying to find the 'Huacai' that was integrated into their bodies, Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, take it, that's what you deserve." ”
Hearing this, the two of them also gave up this futile move. Yakumo Zi raised his head and asked suspiciously, "What the hell is that ...... just now?"
"Hmm......", Mo Shen groaned for a moment, as if he had considered his rhetoric for a moment, and then slowly explained: "That is the settlement of cause and effect between heaven and earth, and it is the return of the world. If evil deeds bring 'karma', then good deeds can be called 'merit'. ”
"And what you have just received is the 'merit and good fruit' that this heaven and earth have given back to you."
Of course, the 'good deeds' here are not the so-called 'good deeds' as simply understood by living beings. If you want to get the 'merit' of heaven and earth, you must make merit to heaven and earth.
It is only in this kind of great cause and effect that is related to the operation of heaven and earth, the reincarnation of yin and yang, and the great calamity, that such a 'reward' can be obtained by this.
Shiki and Yakumo nodded. Looking at their expressions, it is not like they don't understand anything.
In fact, at the moment when the 'brilliance' fell into their bodies just now, they had a sense and understanding in the dark. And Mo's words just confirmed their vaguely uncertain conjectures.
Mo looked at the 'brilliant streamer' in his hand, thought about it, and then just absorbed a layer of brilliance from its exterior as a proof.
Then most of the rest was slowly transformed and condensed with the rhythm of the Dao that emanated from the transformation of his will and mudras, until it was completely formed.
In the end, all the vision light dissipated, and only an octagonal glass mirror the size of a palm was suspended in his hand.
"Four seasons, you can take this thing."
"This, how can this be, this is your ......", Shiki quickly shook his head and refused. If it was said that the treasure of life and death that she had just accepted was because of her 'duty', then now this treasure was obviously not something she could bear anymore.
She saw it clearly from beginning to end, but she knew very well what it was. It is precisely because of this that she is even more unacceptable.
Mo smiled and shook his head, "This thing is just dispensable for me now. ”
"But you're different, although the Book of Life and Death is infinitely powerful, it is a netherworld weapon after all, and it can't be touched lightly in normal times. And you, as the first Yama of this Netherworld, shouldered the heavy responsibility of suppressing the Netherworld order, patrolling the Netherworld on weekdays, guarding reincarnation, and dealing with Xiaoxiao, how could you not have a weapon to protect the path. ”
"This is not a gift to you, but a gift to the underworld Yama."
……
After debating again, in the end, the four seasons still couldn't argue with the ink, and they could only take the octagonal glass mirror.
As Mo said, she accepted this treasure not for herself, but to be able to fulfill her own duty: suppressing the underworld and guarding reincarnation.
