Chapter 11: Blood Oath
Surrendering without a fight is the best policy.
But if you want to surrender without a fight, the least thing is naturally that you are strong enough, so strong that people dare not dare to fight with you.
When they were in Koyasan, Pu Yanghai and Gu Yangding came to rob people, Gu Yangding brought a bunch of subordinates, who seemed to be full of spirit, but they were not as majestic as Pu Yanghai who dared to break into the headquarters of the Shingon Sect alone. The reason for this is that Puyanghai has a hellish demon following him anytime and anywhere, and no one knows the specific number of this evil ghost. That evil ghost is not an ordinary ghost, but similar to the existence of a monster, can resist spells, has strong hand-to-hand combat ability, and thinks there are still some talented spell skills, although the master who fights like an eight-leaf dead wood is not enough, but the average intermediate mage can still deal with it. And how many masters are there in the world?
Yong Bowen was indeed moved. He knew very well that the enemies he faced were unimaginably powerful, whether it was Gu Yangding, Pu Yanghai, Ono Santang, or Malika, they were by no means something he could fight with alone, not to mention the mysterious and strange Wheel of Time Tribulation that already made people shudder just by revealing their hideous claws.
If you want to fight against these forces, Yong Bowen's biggest problem is that he is alone, fighting a group with one person, unless he can be strong enough to defy the sky, and Yong Bowen is obviously not the kind of legendary strong man at the level of the anti-sky, so the only way out is to fight the group with the group. Yong Bowen's family has died since he was a child, and he is alone, although he knows that there are still some disciples of Taiping Dao who have been dismissed by his grandfather before, but first, he has nowhere to find them, and secondly, he has not interacted for so many years, so it is impossible to come up and let people help fight, or the kind of life and death fight. There are only two forces he can rely on, one is Longhu Mountain, where Aliyun was born, and the other is Yu Chengshi, but Yong Bowen doesn't want to tell anyone that Aliyun is the golden fetus of the Green Dragon!
Longhu Mountain adheres to the orthodoxy of Taoism, if he knows that Aliyun is the reincarnation of the Tantric Qinglong Golden Fetus, he may provoke some demons; And Yu Chengshi's feeling to Yong Bowen is too worldly and realistic, if he knows about this matter, he will definitely find a way to seek the greatest benefit for himself. In fact, no matter who knows about this matter, it means that Aliyun will no longer belong to him alone, which is the last thing Yong Bowen wants to see. He prefers to hide this secret in his heart in the hope that no one will ever know about it. Of course, this is unrealistic, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. Yong Bowen is not the kind of shrunken turtle that can get by. So, he's been planning how to fight against the battle for Ariyun that is sure to come.
Now, Oda Nobunaga's plight gives him a chance.
Yong Bowen has always had little trust in this ghost king, which is a common problem of all mages, and the evil ghosts of hell like this are cunning and ferocious, which are by no means comparable to the ghosts and monsters in the world. Therefore, Yong Bowen has never considered relying on the power of hell, although he is actually the master of Oda Nobunaga's soul flame, but he is not sure that he can completely control the ghost king, rather than always worrying about being bitten back, it is better not to consider it from the beginning.
But now the situation is different, Oda Nobunaga has a request for him, and before fiddling with the crisis, he naturally will not want to harm him.
Yong Bowen pondered for a moment and said, "What support do you need?" What can you give me in return? ”
Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Yong Bowen finally spit out, but his face was still calm, "I need weapons and equipment and resources to be able to fight that force, and being able to repay the Great Heavenly Master is nothing more than a loyalty." ”
The faithfulness of the demons of hell can believe that the sow will be able to climb the tree.
Yong Bowen smiled, "I need a team that can be absolutely loyal to me and can be pulled out to fight at any time." I will focus on cultivating this team, and I can usually follow your command here, and I will only use it when I need it. ”
Oda Nobunaga was silent for a moment. He naturally knew that Yong Bowen couldn't trust him, so he made this kind of request. Yong Bowen's complete loyalty, since he wants to directly cast spells to control the evil ghosts or natives of hell, so that he will not have the slightest rebellious heart, this is the usual practice of the ghost mages to learn a lesson after the death of the ghost at their own expense. But for Oda Nobunaga, it was not easy to accept. Because that means that as long as he provides Yong Bowen with enough demons or hell natives, he will be of no use to Yong Bowen. Yong Bowen is unlikely to support him strongly.
"If I agree to the Great Heavenly Master's conditions, how can the Great Heavenly Master guarantee my support?"
Yong Bowen said: "Actually, we all need each other now, the problem is the lack of trust between each other, why don't you sign a blood oath, I will support you against that force, and try to ensure that you will not be swallowed up and eliminated by the other party, how about it?" He took out a talisman from his pocket and shook it, and the two Romanian female ghosts who were waiting by him were so frightened that they retreated again and again.
Oda Nobunaga also looked nervous.
Yong Bowen uses Taoist Zheng/Fa, and has a natural restraint on the yin of ghosts, even if Oda Nobunaga knows that the talisman is not an offensive talisman to subdue ghosts, knowing that this talisman is an attack, he is not without the power to resist, but he is involuntarily nervous.
Thin yellow talismans lay flat on the ground.
Yong Bowen bit his middle finger, drew a spell on the talisman, muttered a chant, and it was done in a moment, and then he raised it and shook it, and the whole talisman turned into ashes and fell into the teacup in front of him.
"Today, the disciple of Taiping Dao, Yongshi Bowen, is swearing that he will support the ghost king Oda Nobunaga against the enemy, and do his best to ensure that he will not be swallowed up and destroyed by the enemy.
After speaking, Yong Bowen picked up the teacup, drank half a cup of hot tea mixed with talisman ash in one gulp, and then pushed it in front of Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga is a ghost, there is no blood, but the soul flame has the same effect as blood, carefully separated a star soul flame and fell into the cup, and when the talisman ash was mixed, he raised his glass and said: "A certain Owari Oda Nobunaga, hereby swear, I am willing to help the Great Heavenly Master Yongbo Wen refine a finger and arm to make an absolutely loyal army of hell, if the Great Heavenly Master Yongbo Wen is called, he will do his best to help, and dare not disobey!" As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank the remaining half cup of tea.
This blood oath is established, and the biggest obstacle to trust between the two sides will not exist, and the next thing is the details, which cannot be finalized at one time, and will have to be discussed in detail later. Oda Nobunaga had already prepared for his subordinates to present a covenant with clear terms. Yong Bowen put away the covenant book, and only went back to read it carefully before discussing it in detail.
