Chapter 44: Karna, Arjuna, Who Are the Heroes (Part II)

Then the charioteer Karna sat on a golden throne, and several Brahmins, who were well versed in mantras, immediately performed an initiation on him using a golden vase filled with rice grains and flowers, and he became King of Anga.

After the joy of the "victory" had subsided, the bull-like king Karna said to the prince of the Kulu tribe: "What kind of thanksgiving can I give you in return to be worthy of the kingdom?" ”

The enemy replied to him, "I want your eternal friendship!"

Hearing this, Karna immediately responded: "It must be so!"

The two happily hugged each other, and both felt very happy.

Then Karna's adoptive father, a Sudo descendant, walked into the schoolyard, his clothes were crooked, sweaty, and trembling, all supported by a cane, as if calling for something.

When Karna saw him, he dropped his bow and came to his father. Driven by respect for his father, he bowed his head respectfully and bowed, and his head was still wet when he had just been initiated.

The old coachman hurriedly covered his feet with the hem of his shirt and called out to Karna, who had successfully completed the initiation, "Son!" and then he hugged Karna tightly, and he had not seen him for seven years, and he was so excited by his love that tears could not stop dripping on his son's head that was drenched for the empowerment of King Angha.

When the son of Gonti, Arjuna's second brother, saw the chariot and understood that Karna was the son of a charioteer, and he said with a smirk: "Son of the charioteer, you are not worthy to die at the hands of the son of Pandu. According to your family, please hurry up and get a horsewhip. You are not worthy of the kingdom of Angha, just as the Shudras and the untouchables are not worthy of eating the sacrifices that were placed around the sacred fire. ”

Karna's lips trembled at the taunt, and he let out a long sigh and looked up at the sun in the sky. Of course, Karna had long been well aware of the virtues of the people of the Hindu Divine Domain, and all these expressions were made for others to see.

Sure enough, the powerful and invincible enemy immediately jumped out of the middle of the brothers angrily, like a salivating drunken elephant launched by spring love jumped out of the lotus pond, and said to the terrifying army standing aside: "Wolf belly, you shouldn't say such things. For Kshatriyas, the most important thing is strength. Even an inferior Kshatriya should be at war with it. The origin of the warrior and the source of the river are difficult to trace back to understand. The fire of all living beings, which is so radiant, was originally produced by water, and the vajra thunder pestle that destroyed Tanaba was actually made of the bones of the Buddhas. The world-honored god Guhe, who heard that he was the son of the god of fire, the son of the Pleiades, the son of Rudra, and the son of the Ganges, was completely full of mystery. Some people who were born into the Kshatriya caste became Brahmins of great repute. Master Drona was born from a wooden bowl and Master Mercy was born from a reed stalk. In the same way, the kings know exactly how your brothers were born. ”

"With his earrings, his armor, his god-like auspiciousness, and his appearance as a sun god, how could a deer give birth to such a tiger? If anyone does not tolerate my actions, let him board the chariot, or on foot, and bend his bow and arrows!"

When Karna heard the words of the enemy, he seemed to be greatly encouraged, and he regained his longbow, looked at the five sons of Pandu, and said lightly: "Yes, no one asks where the river originates, because its power defines its identity, and no one asks where the lotus flower offered to Lord Shiva takes root, and its beauty speaks for itself." ”

Then, the entire school field set off a huge shout, mixed with "good wow, good wow" cheers.

The Dread Army, the young immortals, and even Arjuna's mentor Drona wanted to say something more, but Arjuna stopped him, and he walked to the opposite side of Karna, raised his bow, and began to confront the lowly born hero. His pride does not allow him to refuse any challenge above board.

Just when he was fighting against the enemy, Arjuna subdued the eldest son of the kingdom in three or two blows, and now facing Karna, who is also superb in archery, he has never been so easy.

The archery skills of the two can be said to be at the pinnacle of the world, with bows and no arrows, but they shoot all kinds of powerful and weird arrows. Lighting the lamp on the high platform, looking at the archery skills of the two, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, is this really the archery skills that two humans can perform?

Even Vishma, the son of the Ganges, who is known as the number one hero in the world, looked at the two people facing each other, and his face constantly showed a cautious look. If it was a battle, he thought he was good enough to fight anyone, but just talking about archery made him feel like a sigh of relief.

From the afternoon duel until the sun went down, the two sons of Gonti never decided the winner. When the sun was setting, Arjuna shot Karna because of the superiority of the divine bow in his hand, but was blocked by the golden armor on Karna's body.

Arjuna's divine bow was given divinity because it was often placed together with another magic weapon on his body. His magic weapon, called the Head of Brahma, was the supreme artifact that Drona had obtained from Rama with the axe. Just the divine light on it has already given Arjuna's great bow some divinity.

The golden armor on Karna's body was given by the sun god Suriya when he was just born. As the son of the sun god Suriya, and abandoned by his biological mother, Suriya gave him an earring and a piece of gold armor to protect him from accidents.

The most tense battle in this battle is their common mother, Gunti. From the beginning to the present, he has been able to hear Gonti's heartbeat, and he can also feel Gonti's hand holding him with continuous force, and the side face of Randen leans against Gunti's chest, and he can clearly feel the constant change of shape here.

"It turns out that you are the one who is blessed by the sun god. ”

Arjuna saw the golden armor on Karna, who was fighting with him on the other side, smiled faintly, and then watched the sun go down, so he took the initiative to end the battle, and had the opportunity to fight again after meeting with Karna.

On the one hand, he felt that the sun had gone down was unfair to the hero who had the power of the sun, and on the other hand, public duels were not fought after the sun had set, which was also a Brahmin dharma, and Karna was so proud of his parents that he was unwilling to do anything against the dharma.

Karna agreed, he had found that his archery skills were probably on par with Arjuna, but the bows in the hands of the two were far behind, and he could only rely on his own golden armor that was difficult to penetrate.

Thinking of this, Karna suddenly remembered that his teacher Maitreya had said that in the hands of his teacher, there was an extremely powerful bow, and as long as he promised to do something for him, he could borrow this big bow and use it. When the opportunity is right, you must borrow the great bow, Karna thought.

At this time, Gonti finally let go of her heart and let go of the burning lamp that had been held tightly by her, she didn't even notice that her body was covered with sweat.

Thus, the meeting, which was supposed to be the entrance examination of the princes of the city, came to an end, and the invincible took Karna's hand, lit it with a lamp, and left the school ground together.

The five sons of Pandu accompanied Drona, Compassion, and Vishma, and all returned to their respective abodes.

At this time, the people seemed to be still immersed in the wonderful archery duel that had just been held, and some shouted, "Arjuna!" and some shouted, "Karna!" and others, "Invincible!" and dispersed.

Because he had obtained Karna, his previous fear of Arjuna was now gone. This martial arts hero Karna thanked the enemy for his kindness, said many flattering words, and said that he would fight for the enemy.

At that time, the enemy thought to himself, "There is no archer on earth who can compare with Karna." He put aside his arrogance and confronted Karna with a very equal attitude, hoping that Karna would become his sharpest weapon against the five sons of Pandu.

During the night, the five sons of Pandu finally arrived at the palace of Gunti to meet their mother and their youngest brother to light the lamp.

For the first time, he was glad that he was practicing Closed Mouth Yoga, and he was pestered by the five sons of Pandu to ask questions, and his head was about to crack, and it was difficult to get quiet at all.

But when Gonti told his five older sons that Randen was a mute man by nature, the five sons were so sympathetic to him that they stopped talking to him.

The five sons of Pandu happily saw their mother, and reunited after a long absence, and naturally had a lot of words, but they were used by the lamp in the arms of Gonti to clear their leisure, constantly looking at the sons born of the five Gonti and the gods, and constantly recalling their memories in their memories, their future experiences. One of the things that made Randen laugh the most was probably that these five brothers finally married the same wife.

However, the hostility towards his brothers and his hatred for Karna in the words of the five sons of Pandu made Gunti uneasy and painful.

She was a very virtuous woman with the feelings of the Virgin, and although her brothers had framed her sons many times, she still did not want to see the day when there would be a life-and-death battle between their cousins.

And Karna, who is also her own son, Gunti can't imagine what she would do if one day one day her son died at the hands of her brother.

However, as the queen of Xiangcheng, she can't tell Karna's life experience, otherwise the six children in front of her will definitely be humiliated because of this, and she may also be punished by the Fa.
