Chapter 1328 Water of Oath
"What are you looking at! Drink!"
Zhang Tianzong said dissatisfied.
Shu Han stared at the water glass with a very puzzled expression. But soon other tomb-going groups came to the oath hall of the South Dou City Palace, repeated their previous rituals, and then quickly left the South Dou City Palace and headed for the Holy Tomb.
"Is this a necessary ritual for going to the Holy Tomb?"
Wang Kaiyang explained: "As long as you form a team to go to the Holy Tomb, the oath must be signed. Senior brother, you don't have to worry, as long as you don't harm your teammates, drinking that glass of water is completely harmless. It's just a cup It’s just water mixed with the soil of the Holy Tomb.”
Shu Han stared at the mud and dust floating in the water cup and couldn't help but wonder: "Just by drinking this mud-stained water, can we ensure that the team members will not betray each other and harm each other? This is simply child's play!"
"If there is such an effective method, then how can there be so many intrigues in the human race? Even if a person swears with his soul, there is no guarantee that this person will never betray. What use can a glass of water alone do!"
Wang Kaiyang nodded and said: "That's true. People's hearts are unpredictable, but the Holy Mud Water is indeed a great deterrent. It can ensure that most people will follow the rules and will not turn against each other in the ancient tomb."
"oh?!"
Wang Kaiyang explained: "This is an unwritten rule of the Holy Tomb, but it is very effective. As long as we drink the water with the soil from the Holy Tomb together, basically no one dares to invade each other in the ancient tomb, unless you want to Died in the ancient tomb and became a wandering soul in the ancient tomb.”
Shu Han was very surprised: "This oath really works? How does it work?"
Wang Kaiyang shook his head: "I don't know. The five major sects have been studying it for many years, but why this magical oath works is still unknown. Senior Brother Yu, have you ever heard about the Huoying Ancient Tomb?"
Shu Han shook his head.
"This is also the most famous allusion to this covenant."
Wang Kaiyang slowly narrated: "I don't know how many years ago, a Taoist named Jiang Yuanzhou took his Taoist companion and his close friend Xiao Xiangrong to explore the ancient tomb of Shengshang. The three of them are from the same sect and have grown up practicing together since childhood. The three of them drank the water of oath in front of the ancient tomb according to the rules, and then they explored the Holy Tomb together and worked together to discover a dusty ancient tomb. "
"The three of them spent several years entering the ancient tomb, working together to overcome various difficulties, and finally harvested an unexpected large treasure. However, just when the hardships were over, Xiao Xiangrong's hidden evil intentions were gradually exposed. He was greedy for the large treasure in front of him. , and was jealous of the sincere relationship between Jiang Yuanzhou and his Taoist companion, so he secretly planned to kill Jiang Yuanzhou by taking advantage of Jiang Yuanzhou's trust in himself. "
"After Jiang Yuanzhou was killed, Xiao Xiangrong forcibly occupied Jiang Yuanzhou's Taoist couple and took possession of all the treasures. Jiang Yuanzhou's Taoist couple couldn't bear the insult, but he was far from Xiao Xiangrong's opponent in possessing all the treasures, so he could only take advantage of Xiao Xiangrong's inattention to collect all the treasures for him in the ancient tomb. Jiang Yuanzhou died for love."
"Originally, according to the rules of the world of immortality, Xiao Xiangrong, who had taken possession of all the treasures and buried all the truth, would become famous in the world of immortality and rise steadily. But the Holy Tomb of the Holy Shang was different from other places. The water of the oath he drank suddenly had an effect. , transforming Xiao Xiangrong in the integration stage into a huge and fat flesh Gu. And where Jiang Yuanzhou and his Taoist companions died, the bright red blood continuously produced fireflies burning dense flames, and these flames burned all the time. The flesh voodoo that Xiao Xiangrong turned into will be burned clean, and a new body will grow again, so Xiao Xiangrong, who betrayed his oath, will suffer eternal burning torture in the tomb. "
"After that, the tomb was sealed by special power, but when passing by the tomb, you can still hear Xiao Xiangrong's terrifying scream. This is the famous Huoying Ancient Tomb."
Shu Han couldn't help swallowing and spitting after hearing this.
"Is this so mysterious? Is this a story or is it true?"
At this time, Lao Lutou interjected: "It does indeed exist!"
"The Huoying ancient tomb is closed to the outside world, and only the Mahayana period can break in. The human Mahayana period went in and saw a huge flesh Gu that was being burned by the fireflies. This weird phenomenon even Even the human race’s Mahayana can’t explain it clearly.”
"In order to wake up future generations, the Mahayana of the human race did not intervene. Xiao Xiangrong fully deserves his punishment."
Shu Han couldn't help but sigh: "There is actually this kind of mysterious power that upholds justice in the dark world!" At this time, Shu Han couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw the water in the cup, but he still drank it all in one gulp, because Shu Han had never I have never had any betrayal of my own heart.
Seeing Shu Han finish the water in the cup, everyone's vigilance dropped. Then Shu Han asked: "Have all the betrayals of future generations been punished?"
Wang Kaiyang said: "Most of them will not die well, but if you stay away from the Holy Tomb immediately and never come back, you still have a chance to avoid the curse. So even if you drink the water of the oath, you cannot take it lightly in the ancient tomb. Let’s go and take Senior Brother Yu to see the Forsaken Oath Monument.”
After that, the group of people walked out of the Oath Hall. As soon as they walked out of the Oath Hall, Shu Han saw a huge black monument standing in the square. This huge monument is engraved with dense small characters. If you look closely, you can see the names of people. The names of people reach to the sky, countless.
"Is this the list of those who have broken their oaths?"
Wang Kaiyang nodded.
Shu Han sighed: "It's really deceptive. There are such effective oaths, but so many people betray them." Wang Kaiyang sighed: "Yes, this is human nature. As long as the benefits are big enough, no one will betray them." oath."
Shu Han couldn't help but ask: "The monks are scattered in the Holy Tomb. No one knows what happened. Who carved the name of the Forsaken on it?"
"No one! The name will be automatically engraved on the monument. This can be regarded as one of the unsolved mysteries of the Holy Tomb."
Shu Han was shocked. He didn't expect that the Tomb of the Holy Spirit was so mysterious.
Zhang Tianzong shouted: "Have you seen enough? Time is tight, we have wasted a lot of time, hurry back to the tomb to prevent Yin Ling Nian from being discovered by other teams. Then there will be a life and death battle!"
Wang Kaiyang looked at Shu Han, who nodded.
Wang Kaiyang shouted: "Okay! Let's go! Senior Brother Yu, this is your first time going to the tomb, please follow closely. The Holy Tomb of Holy Shang is different from other secret realms, it is easy to get lost in the tomb!"
Shu Han nodded and immediately stood up and followed him, rushing into the sky together.
However, what no one noticed was that the always laughing old Lutou paused in mid-air for a moment, looking at the monument of the oath in a daze. The old man murmured at the corner of his mouth: "Those who forsake the oath will die. I hope no one's name will be engraved on this stone tablet this time."
