Chapter 21: The Past (18)
The heart oath, the oath made by the warrior to the heavenly way with the heart of the martial arts.
For mortals, there are gods with their heads raised three feet, so for warriors, raising their heads three feet is the way of heaven.
The gods may not respond to mortals, but the oath made against the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao will feel it in the dark, and the moment the oath is made, it will establish some mysterious relationship with the power of the Heavenly Dao, if it does not violate the oath, everything will naturally be fine, but ......
Those who break their oaths will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and they will be reincarnated forever!
For any martial artist, making an oath is no less than a test of life and death. After all, no one wants to live under bondage, and it is a bondage that the poor cannot break free from all their lives. But in the same way, once you make an oath, even the enemy who kills your father and takes your wife can shake hands and make peace, because the ubiquitous Heavenly Dao is the most powerful overseer, and there has never been an exception since ancient times when you violated your vow and were not wiped out by Heavenly Dao on the spot.
Song Yan and Cheng Huahui heard that they were going to make an oath, although Cheng Huahui was surprised but not frightened, while Song Yan was panicked, Cheng Huahui was gambling on things outside his body, but he was gambling on his life, he hesitated.
"Since it is a gambling contract, it is natural to ask a notary, I think, there is nothing more just than the way of heaven. The two heads of the family, what do you think?" Mo Yongfan said with a relaxed face, in fact, it is impossible for anyone to behave like this at his son's 100-day feast, without fire in his heart.
In fact, what Mo Yongfan thought to himself was: Since you want to play, then let's play something big! If you lose, you don't want to admit it?
Song Yan clenched his fists unnaturally, and just when he was entangled and even retreated, Cheng Huahui said softly behind him with a smile: "Brother Song, things have come to this point, do you think we still have a way out? You have to think about it, if you lose, it will only be your life that you lose, but if you escape, you will lose the lives of hundreds of people up and down your Song family, which is more important, Brother Song naturally knows in his heart." Besides, who loses and who wins, but not certainly. ”
After listening to Cheng Huahui's words, Song Yan took a deep breath, and the three paths in front of him were already clearly laid out in front of him, either losing his own life, or losing the lives of everyone in the Song family, and winning, Song Yan said in a deep voice.
"I swear by my heart!"
Cheng Huahui, who was behind him, suddenly lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth were hooked.
Everyone retreated out of an open space, and the heads of the three major martial clans in Qingtang Town stood in a triangular position, and at the same time raised their hands to hold their hearts, and a drop of Yin Hong's blood dragged out along their palms, condensed on their fingertips and did not disperse.
The three drops of blood were pulled to the center by an inexplicable force, carving out inexplicable mysterious trajectories, and finally collided together, abruptly dissolving between heaven and earth. But at this time, there was a throbbing in the hearts of the three of them at the same time, as if they were being watched by something, in fact, they all knew that it was the power of the Heavenly Dao-
If you violate your vow, heaven and earth will be punished.
"The oath has been made, the master of the Mo family, can you be satisfied?" Song Yan almost gritted his teeth and said this.
"Naturally. Mo Yongfan smiled, turned to Confucius and bowed down, "Yongfan is brave and begs Confucius to explore the pulse and wash the marrow for the dog." ”
Master Confucius hugged Xiao Tiange in his arms, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The master of the Mo family does not need to make this big gift, this is the will of the old man." But ......"
Hearing the word "but", Mo Yongfan's heart tightened, and he thought that there was going to be some kind of moth, so he hurriedly said: "Master Confucius has any needs, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Huh. Master Kong said with a smile, "The Mo family master doesn't need to be nervous, the old man just didn't have the consent of the Mo family master, and he has already explored the pulse and washed the marrow for Ling Lang, and I hope that the Mo family master will not blame me for being a bad old man." ”
Before Mo Yongfan could react, the quiet crowd became restless again.
"What? it's done!"
"It's a pity! I heard that the Heavenly Destiny Master probed the pulse and cleansed the marrow, and it must be a series of visions, like heavenly help. ”
"No, the Heavenly Mandate Master is playing against the Heavens, how can the Heavenly Dao still help him? I heard that the Heavenly Punishment will be lowered!"
Heavenly punishment is the punishment of the way of heaven for those who are disobedient, and under the punishment of heaven, all things are extinguished. If it is really a heavenly punishment, what other Heavenly Destiny Master would dare to take action to probe and wash the marrow for someone?"
"What you said is not right! I have seen the human life master probe the pulse and wash the marrow, it is really a dream, I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life!"
At this time, Master Confucius bowed his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone. Exploring the pulse and washing the marrow is just an ordinary thing, and there is no vision and fantasy as you say. Let you be disappointed, the old man is very ashamed. ”
"Don't dare! Confucius is a pedantic man, and it is true to return to simplicity, and we ordinary people have no such opportunity. The person with the organic spirit immediately spoke, patting the sycophants and not spending a single white crystal coin, if it was taken by Master Confucius, even if it was a few words of praise, it would be a matter of face to say it.
The others also came to their senses, and they all mouthed out beautiful words, and they almost put their faces on Confucius's buttocks.
Master Confucius is not surprised by this, no matter how approachable he is, but identity is identity, status is status, as long as you stand in a high enough position, the thing that the wild bee wave butterfly does not invite is the norm in this world.
To get back to the point, this gambling contract with life is the focus of everyone's attention, I saw that Mo Yongfan was not so indifferent at the moment, his voice trembled slightly, but this was not because he was afraid of losing the bet, but because it was related to his son's martial arts fate, it was a father's nervousness and concern for his son: "Dare to ask Master Confucius, ...... children's martial arts qualifications"
"As for this matter, the old man has to congratulate the Mo family master first, Ling Lang's martial arts body is quite extraordinary, and his martial veins are wide and smooth, which is a rare 'quasi-king's asset'. Master Confucius handed back the little heavenly song in his arms to Wang Yuwei and smiled at Mo Yongfan.
"Great!" Mo Yongfan's heart that he had cultivated for many years was gone at this moment, this surprise made him ecstatic as a father, if it weren't for the fact that the public was still sensible, I don't know if he would jump three feet high.
"It turned out to be a quasi-king qualification!Doesn't that mean that this kid must be a quasi-king-level powerhouse in the future?!"
"Normally, the quasi-king can't run, if there is enough chance, it is not impossible to truly become the king!"
"Hey! The hegemony of the First Martial Clan, which has not changed for hundreds of years, does the Lai family have an enemy?"
The reason why everyone was so surprised was only because of the words "quasi-king's capital". The quasi-king, and the king, there is only one word difference!
"Wait, who won this bet?" said someone in the crowd silently, suddenly silencing the noisy scene.
"The quasi-king's qualifications are not the qualifications of kings, Mo Yongfan, we won!" Song Yan was overjoyed and shouted impatiently, and even lost his superficial attitude, calling Mo Yongfan's name.
"But my son is not a general's qualification, I remember that the bet said, you will lose, I will win, and now this result is at most a tie. You don't have to say that I don't keep my promises, if I cheat, the way of heaven has already wiped me out at this moment. Mo Yongfan didn't even look at Song Yan, and said flatly, "It's the head of the Song family, who made a big fuss about my Mo family's 100-day feast, and when you go out in the future, you have to be careful." ”
This is already a naked threat, but Song Yan can't refute it, because this is the case, Tiandao has no movement, and it is obvious that this bet ends in a tie. Song Yan's face was pale, looking at the crowd around him who was faintly getting farther and farther away from him, he couldn't hold his face, he "hummed", and left with his sleeves.
Cheng Huahui didn't say a word, followed closely behind Song Yan, and left together.
Mo Yongfan looked at the figure of the two leaving, his eyes were as deep as water, and no one knew what he was thinking. Mo Yonghong approached him and whispered, "Biting dogs don't bark. Big brother, Cheng Huahui, be careful. ”
Mo Yongfan still didn't say a word, but nodded, if you look closely at his pupils, the backs of the two people were originally reflected, but there is only one left at this moment.
......
The night is thick, and the Mo family is naturally a festive and lively scene, but an inconspicuous dirt slope thousands of miles away from Qingtang Town has an unknown scene.
This small dirt slope is very ordinary, but the two people wearing night clothes next to the small dirt slope are not ordinary-
"Brother Song is still angry?"
"He Mo Yongfan insulted me today, and I will definitely make him repay it a hundred times in the future!Brother Cheng, you have to help me!"
These two people are Song Yan and Cheng Huahui. The two came here in the middle of the night, still wearing night clothes, obviously not wanting to be known.
"Brother Song, now that we are grasshoppers on a rope, how could I not help you. ”
"That's very good! When my Song family becomes the No. 1 martial clan in Qingtang Town, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
"Then the little brother thanked me first, the time is up, the master hates being late, Brother Song, let's go." ”
At this time, the moonlight shone on the small dirt slope, Song Yan and Cheng Huahui each took out a strange mirror, to be precise, the mirror in their hands was only half, and when combined into one, it was a complete mirror.
The two of them each held half of the mirror, put together, the mirror suddenly became a double-sided mirror, the moonlight through the mirror, the original cold as water moonlight turned into black as ink, projected onto the small soil slope, on the small soil slope appeared a single person-sized but bottomless black hole.
The two of them put away the mirror and jumped down the deep hole without hesitation, without the strange two-way mirror, the moonlight returned to normal, and the small dirt slope changed back to its original state, and everything was as if nothing had happened.
Under the endless underground, there is a river of magma flowing quietly, it is the fire in the center of the earth, as long as it is stained with even a small spark, it can burn several Qingtang Towns, if a spark falls, Yingyuan City will cease to exist in a breath.
In the center of the boiling magma river, there is a six-sided icicle that exudes endless cold, ice and fire are incompatible, but it is a paradox here, and I really have to sigh at the magical natural avenue.
I saw that the hexagonal icicle was slowly turning, and through the cold ice, I could vaguely see that there was a person in the ice!
"Meet the master. Facing the hexagonal icicles, the second and third martial clan heads of Qingtang Town, Song Yan and Cheng Huahui actually knelt on their knees respectfully, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, and there was a faint drop of sweat on their foreheads, which was not hot, but scared.
"Done?" An ethereal voice sounded, and if you listened closely, it was from within the hexagonal icicle.
"This ...... The bet ended in a tie. Song Yan didn't dare to hide it, so he told the ins and outs of the matter one by one.
"Alas-" With a sigh, the two people who fell to the ground flew out upside down as if they had been severely injured, and they were already drenched in blood when they got up, "If you don't do it well, you will be punished slightly, go ahead." ”
The two didn't dare to say much, but kept kowtowing: "Thank you for the master's grace of not killing!"
The next moment, the two appeared on the small dirt slope, and the two of them looked at each other, and there was only endless fear in their eyes.
Magma river center, hexagonal icicle -
"Mo family, I'm back. ”
The voice was calm, but it contained monstrous killing intent.
