"Oath to bear the monument?"
Hearing this, Wu Mian's face changed slightly.
The negative stele is a powerful and very rare monster, with a body like a giant mountain, a shape like a giant turtle, and a head like a dragon and snake. It carries thousands of stone stele on its back. It is gentle in nature, likes to travel in the void, witness oaths, and is extremely fair.
Once someone breaks the oath, the bearer will be very angry and will imprison the soul of the person who broke the oath on the stone tablet on his back, suffering from the winds of the heavens and never being reincarnated.
Therefore, the negative stele is also called the Oath Turtle, and the stone stele on its back is called the Oath Stele!
Therefore, once he signed a contract with Ye Qing under the witness of the negative monument, he would have no room for regrets and could only regard Ye Qing as his master and follow Ye Qing's orders for the rest of his life.
He originally wanted to see Ye Qingqingqing, and planned to trick him into signing a pact between heaven and ghost, and use the loopholes in the pact to get rid of the other party's control.
But I didn't expect that the other party's knowledge was so profound. Not only did he know the characteristics of the covenant between heaven and ghost, but he also knew the oath to bear the monument.
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing Wu Mian's hesitation, Ye Qing smiled evilly.
"Hey, it's too late for me to be happy, so why wouldn't I want to?" Wu Mian smiled flatteringly, and then said with some hesitation: "But the oath to bear the monument is very ancient, and I don't know it, and if you read it wrongly, it may Unknown dangers or strange things will be summoned, so..."
So, I advise you not to try it!
"You don't have to worry about this. I'm just asking you, are you willing?" Ye Qing said calmly.
"Of course I am willing!" Wu Mian smiled broadly, as if there was no reluctance at all.
"Very good!" Ye Qing nodded, stood up and took out a small piece of the fortune incense from the mountain shell, put it on the ground and lit it.
In the curling smoke, Ye Qing bent down and bowed solemnly to the fortune incense twice, then raised his head, put one hand on his chest and the other behind his back, straightened his back, and took a step forward, elegant yet solemn.
This is an ancient etiquette, also known as the etiquette of a gentleman. When signing an oath with the monument, you must uphold the etiquette of a gentleman. This is the first step.
Then, Ye Qing raised his head slightly and chanted loudly: "The sky is above and the earth is below. My name is Ye Qing. In the name of the oath, I summon the master of the monument, the spirit of the sky, the witness of the oath, to bear witness My oath!"
The voice is slow and thick, solemn and solemn, and the melody is long and ancient, as if it fits the great road of heaven and earth, and the surrounding void is rippled layer by layer.
"He really knows the oath to summon the negative monument. How is this possible?" A look of astonishment appeared on Wu Mian's face.
The next moment, their souls lightened up, as if they had left their bodies, and soared up into the sky. A giant turtle that covered the sky and the sun appeared in front of them.
The giant turtle is huge, surrounded by stars, and the wind is howling. On its back stand tall, ancient, and ancient stone tablets. They are densely packed and countless. Each stone tablet has some oaths engraved on it, which are obviously oaths signed by other people. .
In addition, there seemed to be some souls on some stone tablets, wailing and crying in the endless wind, and their voices were extremely sad. It was obvious that they were the souls who had violated their oaths and were imprisoned by the tablets.
"This...is this the Negative Monument?!" Feeling the suppression of his bloodline, Wu Mian felt his mind tremble, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head to look at the Negative Monument.
"Should!" Ye Qing also felt a bit of oppression, but the appearance of Emperor Xi's dharma body in the sea of consciousness made him not as embarrassed as Wu Mian: "I haven't seen it either."
"Oathkeeper, why are you summoning me?" While the two were talking, a loud voice sounded in their ears at the same time.
When the two came back to their senses, they saw a kindly old man holding a cane appearing in front of them at some point.
The old man had a smile on his face and was dressed in a luxurious robe. He looked kind and approachable, but his eyes were bottomless, as if they were in the endless void, with the sun and the moon rotating, and the stars dying.
"I have seen the noble Lord of the Bearing Tablet, the Spirit of the Void Sky, and the Witness of the Oath!"
Ye Qing did not dare to neglect at all, and bowed with his hands behind his back. If there is no doubt, the old man in front of him is the true spirit of the negative monument: "The two of us want to sign a master-servant contract, and want to ask the owner of the negative monument to be a witness?"
"I'm willing to help!" Fu Ming smiled kindly.
"Let's make a pact!" Ye Qing looked at Wu Mian, who was pretending to be dead.
"Oh, okay, okay!" Wu Mian's heart was filled with gloom. Knowing that there was no other way to go now, he could only swear: "In the name of the Lord of the Bearing Monument, I, Wu Face, would like to recognize Ye Qing as my master. You must obey your orders, only your words and deeds, and only your thoughts must be obeyed. If you have two minds and violate your oath, your spirit and soul will be destroyed!"
"In the name of the Lord of the Bearing Monument, I, Ye Qing, am willing to accept the allegiance of Faceless!" After Faceless finished speaking, Ye Qing considered it carefully for a moment and found that there were no loopholes in it, and raised his hand in response.
"The oath is fulfilled!" The negative stele smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take a picture, and there seemed to be an invisible sound that echoed through the heaven and earth. The two people's oaths materialized, forming mysterious ancient words in the air, and fell on a stone stele.
And somehow, Ye Qing seemed to have a connection with Wu Mian, as if he could destroy Wu Mian's soul with just a thought.
Faceless feels the same way, but he is the one who may die at any time.
This is the master-servant contract. The master-servant contract has no binding force on the master, but for the servant, it is just the opposite. If the master dies, the servant will die, and if the servant dies, the master will live.
Therefore, from now on, he can only be like a dog, obeying Ye Qing's orders, letting him do whatever he wants, and must try to protect the other party.
I can't live this day!
"Thank you, the owner of the negative monument!" After the agreement was made, Ye Qing smiled and bowed to the negative monument!
"Haha, it's my honor to be able to help my little friend!" Negative Stele waved his hand, and the stone stele in the air turned into a stream of light and fell into the forest of stele behind him.
"My little friend, Lao Chen's name is worthy of heaven. If you need it in the future, you can directly chant Lao Chen's name and Lao Chen will feel it."
"Thank you, Lord of the negative monument!" Ye Qing was stunned, but he didn't expect that the negative monument would tell him his true name.
"Okay, the oath is fulfilled, let me send my little friend back first!" After Futian said this, he waved his sleeves, and Ye Qing's soul fell down and returned to his body. When he opened his eyes, the two of them were back in the original room. , as if he had never left, mysterious and mysterious.
After waking up, Ye Qing hurriedly snuffed out the fortune incense on the ground. At this time, only a length of the fortune incense was left, as long as a thumb, and it could only be used once.
"Master, you...are you really a human?" After collecting the good luck incense, Wu Mian, who had been in a daze, woke up and looked at Ye Qing thoughtfully.
"I'm not, are you?" Ye Qing asked doubtfully, "Why do you say that?"
Wu Mian said: "It is said that in the past, when others signed the oath to bear the monument, let alone the true spirit of the monument, it is difficult to see even the true body, only the oath monument can be seen."
"As for you, Master, not only did you see the true spirit of Fubei, Fubei even told you his real name. You must know that the Fubei clan respects ancient etiquette and is extremely noble. Only those who recognize it can get their true name. ! Master, don’t you think it’s strange?”
"It's not surprising, I'm a kind-hearted person!" Ye Qing smiled softly.
Hearing this, Wu Mian raised his thumb and echoed: "One word revealed the truth. Good intentions and good deeds are rewarded. Master, there is nothing wrong with what I said!"
Of course, he didn't expect Ye Qing to tell the truth, but he didn't ask further.
He is just a servant now. As a servant, he must have the consciousness of a servant. He must be clear about what should be asked, what should be said, and what should be done.
"Okay, you go to Wuya Book Store and wait for me first. I still have some things to deal with!" Ye Qing walked out of the house. The bright moon hung high outside, and the sky was clear.
"I will obey my master's instructions!" Wu Mian bowed and said.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Qing suddenly said: "By the way, don't call me master anymore, just call me young master."
"Besides, you'd better change your face to a face that no one has seen before, so as not to be recognized by your companions! Also, women are exempted!"
"Young Master is indeed a humble gentleman!" Wu Mian said with a wink, indescribably vulgar, and then his body shape changed, turning into an old man in his fifties, and he bent down and handed over his hands: "I respectfully send you off to the Young Master!"
"Yeah!" Before the voice fell, Ye Qing's figure gradually became transparent and disappeared.
Wu Mian watched Ye Qing disappear, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
After Ye Qing left, he looked like a ghost and returned to Fushou Lane in the blink of an eye.
As for Wu Mian, he signed a master-servant contract with the other party. Life and death depend on his thoughts, so he is not afraid of the other party doing anything to harm him!
"Ye... young hero, how are you?" As soon as he returned to Fushou Lane, Hu Nu came to greet him, and Yun Yan also woke up, but her face was a little pale.
"Dead!" Ye Qing replied, and immediately looked at Yun Yan: "Miss Yun Yan, are you okay?"
Yun Yan saluted slowly: "Thank you for your concern, young hero. Yun Yan is fine!"
"By the way, that weird thing seems to be the legendary soul-eating spirit. The soul-eating spirit is so weird. Did the young hero really kill him?!"
"Miss Yun Yan has a sharp eye and is indeed a soul-eating spirit!" Ye Qing nodded and smiled.
Yun Yan's eyes showed admiration: "I can't compare to the young hero. The young hero can actually kill the soul-eating spirit. Yun Yan admires it!"
"It's just a fluke!" Ye Qing said modestly: "Now that the weirdness has been eliminated, Miss Yun Yan is injured again, let's go back first!"
"Thank you for your understanding, young hero!" Yun Yan smiled slightly, and then said softly: "Young hero has such cultivation and great abilities at such a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future."
"I wonder if you, young hero, would like to join our Jing'an Division to kill monsters and protect the people?"
Ye Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yun Yan would invite him to join the Jing'an Division. The Jing'an Division was in charge of the important tasks of safeguarding the people and defending the country, and killing monsters and monsters. It was independent of any system in Da Chu. He was ordered by the emperor to accept orders directly from the emperor. Not subject to the control of others, he has the right to kill first and then report later. His status is respected and his power is so great that no one can match it!
Therefore, whether it is for fame or profit, many people are proud to join the Jing'an Division: but the Jing'an Division is very strict in selecting talents, and they need to have a clean background and outstanding talents!
He really didn't expect that Yun Yan would invite him to join the Jing'an Division?
Seeing that Ye Qing did not speak, Yun Yan continued: "With the young knight's ability and his ability to kill the soul-eating spirit today, Yun Yan can guarantee that as long as the young knight is willing to join the Jingan Division, he will at least get the position of captain."
"Captain?" Ye Qing frowned and thought, he didn't expect Yun Yan to be so generous.
The Jing'an Division of a county is, from top to bottom, divided into five positions: Chief of Staff, An Envoy, Captain, Guard, and Jing'an Guard.
Among them, the security envoys include those who catch winds, investigate crimes, and patrol. For example, Chu Nianjiu is the wind catcher. However, Chu Nianjiu is not the catcher of Jing'an Division in Anyang County, but the catcher of Luoshui County. Although the names are the same, their statuses are vastly different.
And the captaincy was already in the middle and upper ranks of Jing'an Division, which was definitely a step to the sky for Ye Qing.
After thinking about it, Ye Qing finally shook his head: "Thank you Miss Yun Yan for your kindness. It's just that Ye has little talent and little moral character, so he feels that he is not qualified for the position of Captain: In addition, Ye came to Anyang only for a study tour and may leave at any time. , so I can only live up to the girl’s kindness!”
He has too many secrets, so it's best not to have anything to do with Jing'an Si.
"That's such a pity!" Yun Yan sighed in vain, then straightened her eyebrows and smiled gently: "Although I can't work with the young hero, it is Yun Yan's honor to meet the young hero today!"
"Ye is also honored!" Ye Qing responded with a smile: "By the way, Miss Yun Yan doesn't need to call me Young Hero, it's too foreign. Just call me by my name, or Wu Huan!"
"Well, how many years am I older than you? From now on, I'll call you Wu Huan." Yun Yan's cheeks were slightly red and she said calmly: "In addition, Wu Huan, you don't have to be a girl to be tall or a girl to be short. Since I am a few years older than you, I will call you Wu Huan." Sui, just call me sister!"
"Sister?" It was only the second time we met, and the older sister started to look older than the younger sister. Is it so exciting?
Ye Qing touched his nose, coughed twice, and said, "I'll call you Sister Yun Yan!"
After all, he was still too thin-skinned and too rigid to cry out, so he compromised.
"Okay." Yun Yan smiled generously.
The two of them were walking and chatting. When they came out of Fushou Alley, Yun Yan looked at Ye Qing and said, "Wu Huan, I want to go back and explain to the boss what happened here. When I have some free time, I will go to the bookstore to find you to thank you for saving my life today." kindness!"
"Sister Yun Yan, you are too polite!" Ye Qinggong cupped his hands: "Be careful on the road!"
"the same as you!"
Yun Yan also said goodbye and walked towards Jing'an Division.
