Chapter 37 Imperial Weapon
Chapter 37 Imperial Weapon
It is also known as the ancient Yue region.
These are long gone.
Hundreds of years have passed since the Great Chu conquered Wu and destroyed Yue. So many generations have gone by, and the people of Lang County only consider themselves Chu people, not Yue people.
Dou Changsheng remained unmoved and didn't take it seriously.
But Uncle Dou, with his keen hearing, eagerly approached from afar and exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
"How do you know the origins of the Dou family?"
"Our Dou family originally had the surname Si, but after the ancient Yue state was destroyed, we changed our surname to Dou to avoid being purged by the Chu state."
grass.
Dou Changsheng's face turned green.
He subconsciously released Cui Shuyu's hand. This fat guy is no ordinary person. Is this a trump card he's given him?
They're afraid he won't die fast enough.
The difference between an unknown soldier rebelling and a remnant of the previous dynasty attempting to restore the old regime is obvious.
This Uncle Dou is from the Qin state, so naturally he'll make a big fuss about it. He immediately found a prominent ancestor for Dou Changsheng, and with their abilities, the family genealogy will surely be delivered soon.
It would be very difficult to find any errors in the records of the Dou family's ancestors, including which branch they inherited and the changes over the past few hundred years.
Damn it.
It is now a certainty that I am a descendant of the ancient Yue royal family.
It's difficult, extremely difficult.
Dou Changsheng regretted it deeply. Why did he have to be greedy? If he hadn't pulled Cui Shuyu along, none of this Gu Yue thing would have happened.
Regardless of Dou Changsheng's thoughts, Cui Shuyu gently turned the ring on her finger, and a rectangular wooden box appeared in her hand. She solemnly handed it to Dou Changsheng, saying:
"This sword is no ordinary weapon; it is an imperial weapon."
"Imperial weapons are different from ordinary treasures; their strength is closely related to the prosperity of the nation."
"It can unleash power beyond one's own level and break existing rules, but the conditions for its use are also very demanding. Only a king can possess it, and it consumes dragon energy."
"Since I obtained the Yue King Sword, I have only been able to exert its basic power. After all, I am within the system of the Great Chu and cannot cultivate dragon energy. But you are different. As long as you rebel and can truly establish yourself, dragon energy will naturally arise, and the Yue King Sword will shine with true brilliance and reappear its former peerless glory."
Cui Shuyu, with an expression of "I have high hopes for you," looked at Dou Changsheng, who remained silent, and smiled even more brightly, her cheerful tone ringing out: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"He must be so happy."
"No need to thank me, I, Cui Shuyu, am just happy to help others."
Cui Shuyu left with a smile, and Uncle Dou came over to help Dou Changsheng open the wooden box.
A three-foot-long sword with black diamond patterns on its blade appeared in Dou Changsheng's field of vision. The Yue King's Sword looked ordinary and unremarkable.
Uncle Dou extended his finger and gently flicked the sword. The longsword trembled and emitted a unique sound.
Uncle Dou said earnestly, "This sword is not a replica; it is truly an imperial weapon."
"I have read the history of the ancient Yue people and know the origin of this imperial weapon."
"This sword was created during the most glorious period of the ancient Yue Kingdom. It was forged with the full power of the kingdom and was blessed by the water god Gonggong. From its inception, it was a powerful treasure comparable to a divine artifact."
"With this sword, the King of Yue of the time went north to contend with other states, met with the feudal lords, paid homage to the emperor, and finally became the leader of the feudal lords."
Uncle Dou Jiu had lost his frivolous demeanor and his expression became extremely solemn. He lowered his voice and said, "Spiritual artifacts, magical artifacts, and divine artifacts correspond to the top three ranks, while those above the ninth rank are celestial beings."
"They don't need faith or offerings; they have truly achieved transcendence and freedom."
"The divine artifacts represent the power of the gods. Each god is a pillar of a race, suppressing the fate of the race. The strength of a race depends on the number of gods."
"Whether it's the Black Emperor or Taiyi, neither of them has achieved true transcendence and still needs faith and worship."
"But the water god Gonggong doesn't need that. He is a celestial being, born during the heyday of the Sun and Moon Demon Court. His real name is no longer known. He once served as one of the chief officials of the Water Department among the eight departments of the Sun and Moon Demon Court. He held a prominent position and was also a pillar of our human race in the Great Wilderness."
"The ancient Yue Kingdom has a rich history and a deep connection with the Water God. If you can rebuild the temple and receive the Water God's blessing, your influence will definitely soar, attracting the attention of the ancient Yue people and even gaining the support of powerful figures."
"If you go a step further and gain the favor of the Water God Temple, which will personally send a temple keeper to preside over the faith, you will no longer be a rootless duckweed, and the Black Ice Platform will have to treat you with caution."
This Uncle Dou Jiu clearly said too much, and said things he shouldn't have said.
Dou Changsheng's gaze was deep and meaningful. At this moment, he knew that this Uncle Dou Jiu had been sent by the Qin state, but he was definitely not an old Qin person. He was probably a citizen of the five states that had been destroyed.
Such in-depth work behind enemy lines could not be done by the Qin people. These powerful states from the five kingdoms, if they were entrenched in their own territories, would be a destabilizing factor. Their arrival in Chu would be killing two birds with one stone.
Uncle Dou changed the subject, saying, "The Yue King's Sword appears intact because it has been repaired; in reality, it is severely damaged and is now only equivalent to a ninth-grade spiritual weapon."
"But the restorer's methods are exquisite and he is very dedicated. As long as he receives nourishment from the dragon's energy, his grade will be promoted."
"Cui Shuyu's gift of this sword can be considered a significant expense."
"I will report this, and I believe some of the copper from Shouyang will be sent to repair the Yue King's sword."
Uncle Dou's expression was complicated. He thought it was just an ordinary trip. He didn't think that Lang County would cause much trouble. This place was located in the rear of Great Chu. There was no need to question the strength of Great Chu. The rebellion would definitely be swiftly suppressed.
The simple task went a little awful; the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, appeared unexpectedly. I talked a bit too much and made some slips of the tongue, but thankfully I managed to control myself in the end.
Gathering dragon energy is one hurdle, and receiving the blessing of the water god is another; it can be said that every hurdle is difficult to overcome.
It was completely impossible to gradually advance to the rear and arouse the Qin state's suspicion; the times wouldn't allow it.
The King of Qin is now a man of great talent and ambition, a ruler unparalleled in a thousand years. He has mobilized the entire country to attack Chu, and the unification of the world is imminent. There is simply no room for other kings to survive.
Imperial weapons are good, but they are also useless.
Gaining something is not a blessing, but rather a source of misfortune.
Cui Shuyu was blacklisted and specifically targeted by the Black Ice TV, all because of this one sword.
With the Cui family of Qinghe and the imperial army combined, how could the Black Ice Guard remain indifferent?
Now, this sword is being used to rebel against Chu.
I don't know if it's karma or divine retribution.
No, no, no.
It should be said that Black Ice Platform has been too calculating, pushing the situation step by step to this point.
Zhao Gao was a ruthless man!
