Chapter 43: Karna, Arjuna, Who Are the Heroes (Part I)
On a high hill outside the Elephant City, Adros sat cross-legged under a large and lush tree.
Ever since he came to the world in the form of a lamp, he has come here with Manjushri and has fallen into a vacuum. Everything in the outside world seems to have nothing to do with him, and he has no thoughts and no self.
Next to him was the graceful Manjushri, who was also practicing with his eyes closed. However, her practice is not meditation, but ordinary meditation. Before Adros entered the meditation, she passed on a lot of cultivation methods, and while she helped Adros protect the Dharma, she also sorted out these methods one by one.
Suddenly, Manjushri opened her wonderful eyes, looked into the air, and chuckled softly, "Why, Maitreya, have you finally decided to let your disciple appear?"
Maitreya, who was fat and had a smiling round face, appeared here, and smiled: "Everything that should be taught has already been taught, and it depends on him whether he can achieve his own goals." After seven years of studying art, it's almost time to show the edge of the son of the gods. ”
Manjushri looked in the direction of the Elephant City and looked at the royal city, and his eyes showed a strange light: "I also want to see if the son of the Heavenly Emperor Indra is more powerful, or the son of the sun god Suriya is stronger." ”

When the tumultuous school finally took his breath away, Arjuna began to perform the martial arts he had learned from Master Drona.
In an instant, he became very tall, in an instant, he became extremely short, in an instant, he was in front of the chariot, in an instant, he stood in the middle of the chariot, and in an instant, he fell to the ground again.
In addition to martial arts, there are also various magic weapons.
As Drona's favorite disciple, Arjuna received many magic weapons from Drona from his father, each with magical powers. He sacrificed the magic weapon of the god of fire to light the fire, the magic weapon of the god of water to start the great water, the magic weapon of the god of wind to blow the wind, the magic weapon of the god of rain to spread the thick clouds, the magic weapon of the god of the earth to enter the belly of the earth, and the magic weapon of the mountain god to move to the mountains. Then, he sacrificed the invisible magic weapon and eliminated it all.
After a little performance, Arjuna smiled and looked at the enemy, waiting for his arrival. Seeing Arjuna's wonderful performance, the enemy was already dissatisfied, lifted the pestle in his hand, and attacked Arjuna.
Arjuna shot with a series of arrows, easily stopping the enemy's attack, and then sealed him with ice arrows, immobilizing the head of the country's hundred sons.
Drona happily declared his lover victorious, and said that Arjuna was the best archer in all of India, and the audience cheered. At this moment, an arrow flew from the sky, untying the shackles of the difficult enemy and taking the onlookers by surprise.
The audience calmed down, and the sound of the instruments became weaker, and everyone was speculating about the reason. At this moment, from the entrance of the school field, the sound of flapping arms to show off their strength and strength sounded like a thunderbolt.
"Could it be a landslide? Maybe the ground is cracking, maybe the sky is too full of clouds with rain?"
The audience at the school had these thoughts flashing through them for a moment, and they all looked towards the gate.
At this time, Gonti's five sons embraced Drona, like the constellation of the five stars of Sapitoro embracing the moon. The restorative enemy who had returned to normal stepped forward again, and the horse neighed, along with the strong hundred brothers, surrounded him. At that time, he stood majestically with a pestle in his hand, and his brothers with their swords stood around him, like a group of mighty generals supporting their king.
The eyes widened in amazement, and after making way out of the way, a handsome young man with no hair walked into the wide school grounds. He was wrapped in natural armor, with a pair of big earrings that reflected his face, holding a bow and an arc, hanging a sharp sword, like a mountain with his feet moving, it was Maitreya's disciple Karna.
Karna was originally the son of Gunti who summoned the sun god Suriya when he was a virgin, but because he was bound by the Dharma, Gunti had to abandon him in pain. He is part of the radiant sun god and a hero who sweeps through the crowd. He was mighty and brave, on a par with the lion, the bull, and the elephant king. His radiance, his handsomeness, his radiance, and his virtue are like those of the sun, the moon, and the fire. He stood tall like a golden palm tree, he was young and rich like a lion, his virtues were innumerable, and he was the auspicious son of the sun god.
Karna, with his strong arms, glanced around the entire school yard and seemed to bow nonchalantly to Drona and Mercy. The audience all held their breath and stared at him intently, thinking, "Who is this?" and after a burst of panic, everyone's hearts were filled with curiosity.
The son of the sun god, the elder brother Karna, an excellent debater, said in a voice like thunder to his brother Arjuna, the son of Indra, whom he did not know, "My name is Karna, O son of Pandu. What you just did, I'm going to do better than you did in full view. Don't be surprised!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if the mechanism had been activated, and the audience stood up and talked to each other in their ears, and the whole school field was buzzing. A wave of ecstasy spread throughout the enemy's body, and shame and anger surged over Arjuna's heart in an instant.
Subsequently, with Drona's permission, Maitreya's disciple, Karna, who had always been warlike and brave, repeated the martial arts that Arjuna had just performed on the school grounds.
The enemy and his brothers present immediately surrounded Karna, and then the enemy said with joy: "Welcome, mighty hero! O Giver of Glory, I and the Kingdom of Kulu ask you to drive and enjoy as you please!"
Karna said, "Son of Bharata, one more thing is enough to do it for me." I long for your friendship, and I want to compete with the sons of Prita. ”
The enemy said, "Share the glory and wealth with me! May you be close to your friends! Let your feet be on the heads of all evil-hearted villains!
Arjuna seemed to feel insulted, and he said to Karna, who stood like a mountain in the midst of the group of cousins: "Hell is for those who rush in without invitation and puff out their tongues without being invited. If I kill you, you're going to hell!"
Karna said: "This school is for everyone's use. Does this place belong to you alone? Arjuna, a man of extraordinary courage can be regarded as a royal warrior, and the Dharma is also subordinated to strength! Why use a spell? It is a consolation for the weak. Talk with arrows, sons of Bharata, and today I will take off your head with arrows in front of your Master's eyes!"
At this time, Arjuna's master, Master Drona, finally discovered that the handsome and tall young man in front of him with no hair was the same young man who wanted to worship himself as a teacher seven years ago, but was expelled by himself.
In an instant, Drona's mind became extremely complicated and fell into deep thought. Arjuna and his brothers in the school field hugged each other, and hurried forward to fight Karna. The Enemy and his brothers also hugged Karna tightly and cheered him on. Karna stood on top of the schoolyard, bow and arrow in hand, and began to prepare for battle.
In an instant, rolling dark clouds covered the entire sky, carrying lightning and thunder, accompanied by beautiful rainbows, and teams of white cranes seemed to be smiling. Indra, who straddles the golden divine horse, stands on Mount Meru, as if out of pity, looking at the school grounds. When the sun god saw it, he also quickly dispelled the dark clouds that were approaching him and looked at the land of the world.
At this time, the people saw Arjuna, the son of Pandu, who was hidden in the shadow of the clouds, and Karna, who was surrounded by the brilliant light of the sun.
On the side of Karna stood the sons of the kingdom, and on the side of the sons of the Bharatis, Drona, Mercy and Vishma, the sons of the Brahmans, stood on the side of the sons of Purita. The spectators on the school field were divided into two factions, each supporting a hero on the field. However, Gunti, the wife of Pandu, who knew the truth of the matter, fainted.
Ever since Arjuna and Karna began to exchange words, Randen knew what was going to happen next, and he knew that Karna's background was the son of his mother, Gunti.
Seeing Gondy fainting, Randen hurried to his side, held her up, and pinched her with his fingers, hoping that she would wake up as soon as possible. Next to him, the princess Gantoli and the princess Dusara, who held the king's eyes with gauze, were also extremely anxious.
As soon as the lamp was lit, Viduro, who understood all the Fa-rectification, also saw Gonti's fainting, and he hurriedly sprinkled some water sprinkled with sandalwood powder on Gunti to restore her breathing.
Then, Gunti woke up. She saw her two sons covered in pain, but she also knew that the situation was special, so she finally didn't rush forward.
Just as Arjuna and Karna raised their longbows, Ci Ming, the son of an immortal who was well versed in the rules of one-on-one dueling and understood all the Dharma, said, "This is the son of Pandu, the first king of Xiangcheng, and a descendant of the royal family of Kulu, and he will have a one-on-one duel with you. O mighty hero, please declare the names of your mother and father, your family, and the royal court that you have made prosperous! Otherwise, never!"
Hearing this, Karna's face was excited, and he bowed his face like a lotus flower that had been drenched in rain and hung low. He also knew that his background was not good, and according to the Fa of the Indian Divine Domain, he was never qualified to fight against Arjuna.
At this time, the eldest son of the ruling country, Nan Di, took the initiative to stand up: "Master, the scriptures stipulate that kings come from three sources: those who are from the royal family, the samurai, and those who lead the army. If Arjuna refuses to fight a duel because Karna is not a prince, then I will initiate him and make him king of Anga. ”
