Volume 1 Chapter 463 Eight Oaths of Friendship
The outer sect elder pointed at Xiang Yun who was fighting and said, "Jingxie Junior Brother, this is the man. Do you know him?"
Jingxie looked over and when he saw Xiang Yun's face, his originally calm and slightly angry face suddenly turned pale, with a look of shock and at a loss.
"How could it be him?" Jingxie couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Even though ten years had passed, he still couldn't forget the figure in front of him.
Back then on the Diling Island, this man broke the sword of Chu Tian, the eldest disciple of the Jinchan Sect, with just one finger, and beat Chu Tian to his knees and beg for mercy, leaving him with no will to fight.
Ten years ago, this man was so majestic and domineering that Jingxie even believed that Chu Tian’s death was most likely closely related to this man. Perhaps, he was the one who killed him!
The outer sect elder saw that Jingxie's expression was not right, and asked hurriedly: "Why, Junior Brother Jingxie really knows him?"
Jing Xie swallowed his saliva and said bitterly: "If it is this person, Master may really accept him as his personal disciple, because this person's cultivation talent is really too terrifying!"
The elder was shocked and looked towards the cloud quickly, but there was nothing special about it, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
Seeing his expression, Jing Xie explained, "You must know Hong Feng, the innate chaos body of Tianyuan Sect. Ten years ago, it was this person who beat Hong Feng to flee everywhere with his own strength. He had no power to fight back. He almost knelt down and called him daddy."
The outer sect elder then looked at Yun with a proud look, and hurriedly dared not say anything more. Jing Xie hesitated for a moment before flying forward to persuade them to stop fighting: "Stop it quickly, we are all family, don't hurt the harmony!"
Jingxie still has a lot of face in the Huanxi Sect, especially since these people are outer disciples, they dare not offend Jingxie. As soon as Jingxie opened his mouth, they all dared not stay and dispersed one by one, leaving Xiang Yun alone in the air.
Jing Xie came to Xiang Yun, bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang Yun, I haven't seen you for ten years. Your strength has become even more unfathomable."
Xiang Yun took a closer look and recognized Jingxie, but he was also a little surprised why Jingxie was so polite to him. Could it be that he was really lucky and everyone came to cover up his lie?
Xiang Yun thought about it in his mind, and quickly bowed in return: "Brother Jingxie, I don't deserve it. Now I am a disciple of our master, and my status is that of a junior brother. I can't mess up the generations."
Jingxie was shocked when he heard this. Xiang Yun sounded so certain. Could this be true?
Jing Xie was not sure, and said quickly: "That's great, that's great. How about this, we call each other brothers, which is a bit too distant. In front of Master, we call each other brothers, and behind Master's back, we call each other brothers?"
Xiang Yun agreed and nodded, saying, "Okay, since you and I are so destined to be together, why not wait for a better day? Let's swear an oath of blood and become sworn brothers!"
"Ah~ this..." Jingxie was stunned. He just said politely twice, but he didn't expect Xiang Yun to take it seriously. Now he was in a dilemma and he didn't know what to do.
After all, if you think about it carefully, his relationship with Xiang Yun doesn't seem to be that good yet.
You have to know that this world takes alliances very seriously. Although blood oath is a mortal etiquette, it is also very important in the world of cultivation. After all, when you go out, it's all about face. Once you're sworn brothers, if you meet an enemy and you announce your name, if the other party doesn't give you face, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?
At that time, even if you don't want to stand up for your brother, you have to go, after all, you have to maintain your own dignity.
There are many other factors involved, and if you take a closer look, it becomes extremely complicated.
Xiang Yun saw that Jingxie was stunned for a moment and didn't reply, so he immediately provoked him, "Could it be that Senior Brother doesn't want to? That's right, Senior Brother has followed Master for many years, how could he look down on Junior Brother who just became Master? Junior Brother was really reckless in becoming sworn brothers."
Xiang Yun deliberately spoke louder. After hearing this, the disciples of the Huanxi Sect around him couldn't help but look at Jingxie with strange eyes, as if they thought Jingxie was a two-faced person, a smiling tiger.
The issue of human character has been severely questioned and challenged.
Jing Xie was feeling depressed. In fact, he was also hesitating whether to become sworn brothers with Xiang Yun. If the other party was really the master's new disciple, with Xiang Yun's cultivation talent and strength, it would only be beneficial for him to become sworn brothers with him...
Thinking of this, Jing Xie hurriedly said with a smile: "How could that be? Senior Brother was just so happy that he didn't know what to do. Let's become sworn brothers today!"
When the news that the two were going to become sworn brothers spread, someone sensible soon brought all the equipment and accessories needed for mortals to become sworn brothers. They set up an altar on a high mountain, burned three kinds of incense as offerings to the heavens and the earth, and offered fish, meat, spiritual fruits and other tributes.
He poured hero wine for the two men, and they each dropped their own blood into two bowls of hero wine, then raised the bowls and knelt side by side facing the sky.
During this process, Jingxie's heart was always beating fast, and he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It was completely because Xiang Yun forced him to do something, but he didn't understand what he had lost.
I just feel... it's a bit too hasty!
In a daze, the two had already knelt down facing the sky and said to Xiang Yun loudly: "Heaven above, earth below, bear witness together; today I am Xiang Yun!"
"I'm shocked!"
The two men said together: "We are now brothers of different surnames. From now on, we will share happiness and hardships together, eat meat together, drink wine together, and shed tears together!"
After the two finished speaking, Xiang Yun immediately said loudly to the sky: "I don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year!"
"Ah?" Jingxie was stunned on the spot. He opened his mouth but couldn't say the word. Are you kidding? It's just a formality to become sworn brothers. Do you really have to swear such a solemn oath?
They are sworn brothers in front of the heavens. You know, in the cultivation world, the most taboo thing is to deceive the heavens!
But when Jingxie turned his head, he saw Xiang Yun's face was so resolute, and his eyes looked at him with such sincerity and desire, no one could refuse such an attitude.
Jing Xie always felt that this kind of friendship could not be faked, and he could not help but feel a surge of heroic spirit in his heart. He really regarded Xiang Yun as his brother in life and death, and he also said loudly: "I don't ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year!"
When Xiang Yun saw Jingxie finish speaking, he decisively drank the blood wine in the bowl. Jingxie drank it as well. Then they both threw their wine bowls down and kowtowed to the heaven. This was a great gift!
After three kowtows, Jingxie was about to get up, but saw Xiang Yun continuing to kowtow. Jingxie could not help but be stunned. With so many fellow disciples watching him, it was difficult for him to get up since Xiang Yun didn't get up, so he had to kowtow with Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun kowtowed to the heaven eight times before he stood up. When Jing Xie finished kowtow, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill all over his body. After counting carefully, this was... eight kowtows of friendship!
At this moment, Jingxie finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He and Xiang Yun had only met a few times, but the other party dared to make the deepest sworn brotherhood with him. If Xiang Yun said that he didn't want something from him, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Jing Xie's head was a little dazed, and he saw Xiang Yun suddenly grab his arm with his right hand and slowly stand up, and at the same time, he used his hand to help him up, just like a good elder brother, and said with a smile: "Good brother, get off the ground, get up."
