Tubo Nine Covenants
Chapter 208 Tubo Nine Covenants
If you can understand 40% to 50% of a language, then the other parts you don’t understand are codes, and you can guess the meaning of these codes based on the sentences before and after.
That’s what Qin Mu did.
Originally, he knew nothing about the magic language. He just happened to hear the magic language at the Goddess Pass in Daxu, so he wrote it down. Later, he met the demon god sealed in the wall in Zhenyang Palace, who taught him the Great Freedom Seal, so he understood part of the meaning of the magic language.
After understanding part of the meaning of the magic words, you can infer more of the meaning of the magic words from the limited knowledge, just like cracking a code.
The Demon King Dutian swore three times, which contained a lot of magic words, which were extremely pure. Qin Mu knew very early that the language of gods and demons contained terrible power. The Demon King Dutian swore three times this time, which allowed Qin Mu's control over the magic words to reach an astonishing level.
If the Demon King Dutian swore an oath with him again in the human language, then Qin Mu would be able to compare the magic language that he did not understand just now and fully grasp the meaning of the magic language!
The Demon King Dutian said that he took the opportunity to learn secretly and did not wrongly accuse him.
Now, it was not difficult for him to communicate with the Demon King Dutian in the magic language, but for the sake of safety, he felt it would be better to use the human language, so that he could fully grasp the meaning of the words and avoid being trapped by the Demon King Dutian.
Qin Mu's eyes flickered: "Then does the Demon King still want to swear an oath?"
The Demon King Dutian sneered and said, "Yes, of course I want it!"
He knew that Qin Mu was planning to take advantage of this opportunity to completely master the magic language, but he had no choice. Otherwise, the only way left was to kill Qin Mu.
Even if he killed Qin Mu, he would only have a consciousness and magic power, which would disappear with Qin Mu's death.
"Soul returns, Tubo Nine Covenant, I will obey you and examine my body!"
The voice of Demon King Dutian sounded, calling Tu Bo's name to awaken the attention of the ruler of Youdu. This time he used the human language, so naturally he couldn't play any tricks with it.
Qin Mu paid close attention to the meaning of each of his words, being very cautious and studying them over and over again.
Gradually, Qin Mu felt an inexplicable force surging in the deep space. With the voice of Demon King Dutian, this force became stronger and stronger, and then formed half of a portal in his mind.
After the Demon King Dutian finished reciting the oath, he looked at Qin Mu.
After Qin Mu compared the magic language with the human language, he had a more complete grasp of the magic language, and then he recited it again according to the oath. Just when he recited "Fu Xi Cha Wu Shen", he felt a pair of eyes falling on him, or it cannot be said to be the body, but on his soul!
His soul trembled, feeling the power and greatness of the soul ruler!
He was a being that controlled all souls and possessed boundless power. He had no interest in the physical body but only in souls.
If the oath is violated, he will come and take away the soul of the defaulter!
Qin Mu continued to recite the oath, and gradually, half of a portal appeared in front of him. This half of the portal was connected to the half of the portal of the Demon King Dutian, forming a complete portal.
And outside the portal, he saw only endless darkness.
However, under the gate, Qin Mu "saw" a yellow spring, or it could not be called a yellow spring. It was a golden stream with nine bends and eighteen turns. The water became thicker as it went to the bottom, like a river in the sky.
And when he reached the bottom of the endless underworld, he "saw" a pair of eyes without any emotion.
This golden thing is not Huangquan, but a horn.
The two horns on the head of Tubo, the ruler of souls!
Tu Bo Jiu Yue, the word Yue means curve.
The Nine Covenants are the Nine Bends.
His horn is the Nine-bend Yellow Spring.
Qin Mu and the Demon King Dutian made an oath, and this oath was made on the nine-curved long horn of this majestic primitive god!
Why is breaking an oath called a breach of contract? It is probably related to the Nine Covenants of Tubo. The oath was established on the Nine Bends of the Yellow Spring. If the oath was broken, Tubo would take away the soul of the violator, which is a breach of contract.
The oath ended, the door closed, and the vision "before" Qin Mu disappeared.
“Haha, hahaha…”
The laughter of the Demon King Dutian came, and Qin Mu wondered: "What is the Demon King laughing at?"
"nothing!"
The Demon King of Dutian laughed non-stop, but he couldn't help laughing and said, "Boy, even if you are as cunning as a devil, you have been fooled by me! You signed an oath with me, not with my body, but with a strand of my consciousness! Now, you'd better do things for me honestly! As for the Nether City text, don't even think about me telling you a single thing! I don't care if this strand of my consciousness is destroyed!"
Qin Mu was dumbfounded and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The Demon King Dutian laughed heartily, feeling very proud, and he enjoyed watching Qin Mu's embarrassment and helplessness very much.
After a while, Qin Mu exhaled a breath of foul air and murmured, "No wonder Grandpa Lame always told me that I must smile at others and be ready to stab them in the back... Demon King, you are really a good hand. Fortunately, I am not bad either."
The Demon King Dutian felt a tightness in his heart.
Qin Mu said to himself, "I also have a trick up my sleeve. I was just planning to summon some of your ministers and kill some of them, so that it won't be considered a breach of contract."
The Demon King Dutian was stunned.
The two fell silent.
After a while, the Demon King Dutian said, "We are hurting each other. Since you don't believe me, there is no need for me to stay in your body. I will choose the second way. You build a statue mechanism, and I will leave your body and parasitize in the statue mechanism. Don't worry, after you build the statue mechanism, I will pass on the Youdu language to you."
"make a deal!"
Qin Mu was very excited. Master Ma often made various kinds of furniture, and he also learned a lot of craftsmanship from him. Combined with the calligraphy and painting taught by the deaf man and the smelting skills taught by the mute, it was not difficult to make the mechanism of the statue.
Qin Mu was about to make a move when he suddenly felt horrified and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. "I almost fell into his trap! Before I could make the statue mechanism for him, I had to summon the demon first and fulfill my oath. Otherwise, if I only focused on making the statue mechanism and he passed the Netherworld language to me but I didn't summon the demon, I would have violated my oath and Tu Bo would take my soul away!"
The Demon King of Dutian praised: "You are quite good. If you were to come to my Dutian, you would be able to survive with your cleverness."
Qin Mu exhaled a breath of foul air. If he was not careful when making a deal with a being like the Demon King Dutian, he would definitely be eaten to the bone marrow two or three times!
He went to the west room to get some money, preparing to go to the treasury to buy some cold iron and gold crystals and the best wood to carve the statue, but he saw Hu Ling'er standing at the door looking around. Qin Mu smiled and said, "Ling'er, why are you looking around here instead of going to practice?"
Hu Ling'er said gloomily: "The Imperial Master still owes us one thousand Dafeng coins. It's time to pay him back..."
Qin Mu shook his head, went to the treasury to buy some materials, and moved them to the yard.
Carving statues was not difficult for him. In half a day, Qin Mu carved five different wooden statues under the guidance of the Demon King Dutian, all of which were statues of demon gods.
"These five guys are all guys who don't obey my discipline. You are doing me a favor by calling them here and killing them." The Demon King Dutian said with a smile.
After Qin Mu finished carving the wooden statue, he cooked some food and called Hu Ling'er at the door to come for dinner. Hu Ling'er's eyes were dull and she said in a daze halfway through her meal, "Sir, the Imperial Master still owes me a thousand coins."
Qin Mu took out a smelting furnace looted from the Golden Palace of Loulan from his Taotie bag, and forged cold iron and golden crystals to create the parts needed for the statue's mechanism. He was busy until midnight. The scholars around him could not sleep because of his noise, so they complained to the Imperial College. Several scholars from the Imperial College came in person and asked politely.
Qin Mu had no choice but to stop and go to sleep.
The next day, Qin Mu opened the door and washed up. He always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a while, he remembered that something was missing from his quilt when he slept last night.
"It seems that Ling'er didn't crawl into my bed to sleep last night..."
Qin Mu pushed open the gate of the courtyard and saw Hu Ling'er standing on the head of Long Qilin at the door, looking towards the gate of Shiziju. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had not slept all night.
"Young Master, the Imperial Master still owes you one thousand Dafeng coins." Hu Ling'er said somewhat dejectedly.
Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He picked her up and stuffed her into the bed, then continued to build the statue mechanism.
On the third day, Hu Ling'er was still guarding the door. She came back at night and ate dinner listlessly. The little fox sat there for a long while and suddenly said in a daze, "The Imperial Master still owes us a thousand Dafeng coins."
On the fourth day, Hu Ling'er didn't say anything, nor did she wait at the door. She looked very unhappy.
Qin Mu asked with concern, and Hu Ling'er said, "Maybe the Imperial Master really won't pay back the money."
Qin Mu finally completed the mechanism of the statue. It was a demon statue with four heads, eight arms and two feet. Its body had various joints and could move freely. Various totem patterns were imprinted on its surface, but it did not allow the Demon King Dutian to get in immediately.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Qin Mu glanced at Hu Ling'er, only to see that the little fox was still in a daze and did not go to open the door. He shook his head and went to open the door himself.
An old man stood in front of the door. His clothes were worn but clean. He smiled and said, "Are you Mr. Qin Mu? I am an official of the Imperial Master's Mansion. My surname is Fu. I am here to repay the money ordered by the Imperial Master."
Qin Mu was surprised and asked, "Old Fu, has the emperor's reward come?"
Fu Laodao said: "Yes, it came down. The emperor rewarded the imperial master with 100 palace maids and 1 million coins, and the imperial master accepted it. These 100 palace maids gave the imperial master a headache, and he couldn't afford to support them. Fortunately, there is still some money, but after paying off the creditors, it is estimated that only half will be left... Master Qin, this is 1,000 coins..."
Qin Mu was about to turn around and call Hu Ling'er, but he saw a white light flying in front of him. Hu Ling'er rushed over like a fly, snatched the purse from Fu Lao's hand, and smiled sweetly: "The national teacher is a trustworthy person. Thank you, Fu Lao."
Fu Lao was surprised, but he didn't say much. He said, "Mr. Qin is very wealthy, so you must be careful. There have been thieves in the capital recently, and many dignitaries have been affected. It was so tragic that Imperial Doctor You cried for several days and didn't get up from the bed. Several other officials' homes were also robbed, and they lost too many treasures but dared not make it public. Only the servants were talking about it..."
As he was speaking, two old men came from Shiziju. They were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, wearing gold and silver jewelry, and looked very wealthy. They came to Qin Mu's door. One of them was a cripple, and the other looked like a middle-aged Buddhist. Both of them looked wealthy.
