Chapter XXVI: The Oath
As soon as Jin Toad said this, whether it was a person in the Taoist Sect or a Confucian Sect, they were all silent, and their faces were heavy.
At the beginning, there were countless branches of the Daomen, and these branches were divided into two major factions, that is, the predecessors of the two ways of good and evil, both sides wanted to enter the Kunlun Immortal Capital, so they agreed to fight swords in the Yuxu Peak of Kunlun Mountain, and the time was uncertain, sometimes it was once in a hundred years, sometimes it may be once in more than ten years, so far there have been a total of twelve sword fights, and the twelfth sword fight has just passed more than ten years.
The last time the Jade Void sword fight, two people died, respectively, the previous sect master of the Faxiang Sect and the previous sect master of the Tianle Sect, Song Zheng also narrowly escaped life, but this sword fight can be regarded as a very restrained one for both sides in the previous sword fights, and in the previous sword fights, most of the casualties were also there.
Among the people present now, Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu, Qin Qing, and Song Zheng are all people who have experienced it, Li Daoxu and Song Zheng are the protagonists of the sword fight, and the trajectory of the two has changed.
Now that Jin Toad has mentioned the Jade Void Fighting Sword, these people who experienced it back then naturally have different feelings.
After a while, Zhang Jingxiu spoke: "Poor Dao is one of the organizers of the last Jade Void Sword Fight, the other organizer is the Earth Master, Brother Li Dao, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Song are also people who have personally participated in it, and the Jade Void Sword Fighting Sword is essentially a competition between the various sects of our Dao Sect, and it seems that people in the Confucian Sect should not participate." ”
Jin Toad said: "The Great Heavenly Master's words are not right, the last time the Jade Void fought the sword, the people in the Buddhist Sect have already participated in it. Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, Taoism can participate, Buddhism can also participate, why can't Confucianism participate?"
As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Jingxiu couldn't refute it, there were indeed people from Buddhism who participated last time, and it was precisely because of the help of Buddhism that the righteous path could suppress the evil path for a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingxiu turned his gaze to Li Daoxu and Qin Qing.
Li Daoxu said: "The Jade Void Fighting Sword is really good. ”
Qin Qing's words were short, "It's nostalgic." ”
Song Zheng, who had been silent, also spoke: "There is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, make an end." ”
Jin Toad smiled and said, "In this way, a few people have no opinion, right?"
Li Daoxu, Qin Qing, and Zhang Jingxiu all looked at Li Xuandu.
In any case, Li Xuandu is now the fourth person in the Daomen after the three, and it is also the link between the three people, to use a very inappropriate analogy, the husband and wife have been full of contradictions, and they can't wait to live alone, but for the sake of the child, they often barely maintain, in the "big family" of the Daomen, Li Xuandu temporarily plays a role similar to that of a child, which is not only the connection and bond of the previous generation, but also the future heir who has been tacitly acquiesced. Therefore, Li Xuandu's opinion is very important.
Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said: "Although I didn't participate in the last Jade Void Sword Fighting because I was still young, I was quite clear about the process of the Jade Void Sword Fight, and even went to the old site of the Jade Void Sword Fight, and learned from Mr. Song's 'Heaven and Earth Let Me Go'." ”
"It's a great honor. Song Zheng responded with a smile.
Li Xuandu immediately changed his words, "The Confucian Sect wants to participate in the Jade Void Sword Fight, is it because the Dao Sect has been fighting for a long time and is torn apart?"
"Don't dare!"
Said, "The reunification of the Daomen is gratifying, but the Great Heavenly Master, Mr. Li, and Mr. Qin have decided to exclude the Earth Master, the Holy Monarch, and Mr. Song, which is very unreasonable. ”
Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are unexpectedly united, since this is the case, we will take this opportunity to make a conclusion." ”
Jin Toad smiled coldly and said, "Since this is the case, we will invite friends to help, and we will meet in Kunlun Yuxu on the 15th of July." What does Sect Master Song think?"
Song Zheng smiled and said, "I have no opinion, and I don't have an opinion if I want to come to the Earth Master and the Holy Monarch." ”
Li Xuandu also looked at Zhang, Li, and Qin, and asked, "What do the three elders mean?"
Li Daoxu said: "Everything is up to you." ”
Li Xuandu nodded, took out the "frog" from his sleeve, cut a wound on his palm, and let the blood spill.
Song Zheng also made a similar action with the sword of the Tiger Zen Master, and the blood of the two fell to the ground, meandering and flowing, like a stream, and finally two bright red streams converged into a small pool of blood.
The good and evil sides have fought many masters, and they have to make a contract with blood beforehand, and legend has it that this oath has been approved by the Dao Ancestor, but I don't know whether it's true or not, and no one has ever verified it. However, the person who made the covenant must be respected on both sides of the sword fight, and the last time the covenant was made by Zhang Jingxiu and Xu Wugui, but now it has become Li Xuandu and Song Zheng. Song Zheng doesn't need to say much, if it weren't for the last Jade Void Sword Fight, he would have been the leader of the evil path today, and Li Xuandu was officially recognized by Zhang, Li, and Qin as the "prince" status.
Although Li Xuandu had never participated in the Jade Void Sword Fight, with his status and status, it was natural for him to know these rules, in fact, not only he knew it, but Yan Feiqing and others also knew it.
After the blood pact is decided, both sides will temporarily rein in, no longer fight, and go all out to prepare for the Jade Void Fighting Sword.
At the time of the covenant, Li Xuandu was also observing the reactions of the Confucian people.
Regarding the decision suddenly put forward by Jin Toad, the Confucian hermits of Qinghe Jushi, Mr. Bailu, and Ziyan Mountain had indifferent faces, obviously knowing this decision for a long time, and they were not surprised, but several of the great sacrificial wines of the Academy Palace showed a little shock, which showed that they did not know in advance. From this point of view, the Confucian hermit and the Great Sacrificial Wine are not really of the same mind, each has its own calculations and interests, and it is only because of the current enemy that they choose to join forces. But among the Confucian hermits, who made this decision? Was it Jin Toad, or the Qinghe monk who was faintly led before? Or was it one of the two old dragon and red sheep who did not show up?
Li Xuandu thought about this and took a step back, the wound on his palm had healed on its own.
Song Zheng is also a similar action.
Then I saw that the pool of blood on the ground began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared.
Although this is the territory of the Vientiane School Palace, the Confucian people are the first to leave, just like the oath made by the Confucian Gate, now the Longmen Mansion is handed over to the Daomen, and the Confucian Gate will not interfere.
After the Confucian people left, there were only five people left, and it was only at this time that Qin Su turned over and dismounted and led the horse to this side.
The elders were present, and Qin Su was not easy to do with Li Xuandu
It was too intimate, so he just glanced at him, then walked up to Qin Qing's side and said softly, "Daddy." ”
Qin Qing smiled slightly and quipped: "It turns out that you still remember my father, it's really commendable." ”
Qin Su's face was slightly red, and he whispered, "How can there be." ”
Qin Qing joked: "When I came out of the Great Wilderness North Palace, I thought I could see my daughter and son-in-law who were full of joy, but my daughter didn't see it, and my son-in-law didn't see it. ”
Qin Su lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
Li Xuandu said with a smile: "I hope that my father-in-law will forgive my sins, and the two of us will go to the Central Plains, one is because the situation is urgent, and the other is because the two of us still want to meet our mother-in-law, and I think my father-in-law will not blame." ”
Li Xuandu knows very well the truth of one thing descending from one thing, and to deal with Qin Qing, of course, he has to move out of Bai Xiuyi, the mother-in-law.
Qin Su was worthy of having a good relationship with Li Xuandu, and immediately understood Li Xuandu's intentions, and hurriedly said, "I know that Aunt Bai and Aunt Bai are worried about their father, so I went to see Aunt Bai for my father and relieved her heart." ”
Qin Su's shyness was most likely not inherited from Qin Qing, Qin Qing's face did not change, and he smiled lightly: "This kind of words, you can believe it yourself." ”
Qin Su was a little weak-hearted, after all, before this, she was very hostile to Bai Xiushang, and now even if she is no longer hostile to Bai Xiushang, she is a little awkward, where will she take the initiative to see Bai Xiushang.
After gossiping, Qin Qing restrained his smile and said, "Let's get down to business, two Dao brothers, you are the elder, last time Yuxu fought with a sword, you were the ones who dominated the situation, what do you think?"
Zhang Jingxiu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Before the Jade Void fights the sword, there is still a consultation, to put it mildly, it is to have a lottery head and a bet. The last time the Jade Void fought the sword, the bet we set was Shuzhou, because at that time, the five sects in the northwest had begun to infiltrate Shuzhou, and Shuzhou has always been the territory of the Miaozhen Sect. In this context, the two realms of good and evil launched a jade void swordfight, and in the end, the righteous path won. Because of this, even if the five sects in the northwest later established the Great Zhou Dynasty and invaded Shuzhou, Liangzhou, and Qinzhou, they did not attack Miaozhenzong. As for why the earth master and others will not violate the agreement, it is because the oath is a rule passed down from generation to generation, and so many predecessors dare not break the contract, so it can be seen that there must be something mysterious in it, so Xu Wugui and Song Zheng did not dare to rashly defy the law. ”
Li Xuandu asked, "This is the rule of our Daomen, does it have anything to do with Confucianism?"
"There is a relationship. This time it was Li Daoxu who spoke, "Zifu, do you remember Xu Gong Shisong?"
Li Xuandu was stunned and replied, "Remember." ”
Xu Shisong can be described as a legendary figure, he once ranked in the center, after his death the spiritual position into the Xian Liang Temple, and has the reputation of "Xu Tieshou", the first is because he is the world's premier master of gold and stone, the world knows that Xu Shisong can be engraved with the gold and stone seal with the palm of his hand, with regular script as the long, magnificent and plump, the outline is extremely heavy, can be called a unique in the world. The second is because he is also a veritable master, ranking eighth on the Taixuan list. He once single-handedly promoted Qin Xiang, and his nephew was Xu Shouzhai, one of the four ministers, and he himself was also a good friend of Li Daoxu.
Thinking of this, Li Xuandu immediately remembered that the "human world" in his hand was originally from Xu Shisong's hand.
