The Glorious Summoner Chapter 543

Chapter 543

543 The emperor’s sword
“Please accept this one thousand taels of gold. Zhao dan implores you to save Xuanji of the state of zhao.”
As soon as Xia ping ‘an opened her eyes, she saw a handsome young man with a mustache, dressed in gorgeous clothes, kneeling in front of her and bowing solemnly. The young man stood up, but his face was still full of worry.
On the table in front of the two of them, there was a thousand taels of gold. It covered the entire table, shining with a golden light.
Zhao dan, Zhao Xiaocheng, as expected, he had become a village.
Xia ping ‘an was a little excited. Previously, he had guessed that this realm Pearl was most likely going to be Zhuang Zi, because the classic story of the emperor’s sword originated from Zhuang Zi. He did not expect that it was true.
Zhuang Zi was a big name in Huaxia culture, and he was on the same level as Laozi. Because Zhuang Zi had many stories, the realm Pearl was named after the emperor’s sword.
Thinking quickly, Xia ping ‘an smiled, ” Your Highness is too polite. The Zhao country is now strong and powerful, with the support of Lin Xiangru, lianpo, Pingyuan Jun, Zhao She, and other officials. I really don’t know why Your Highness invited me to Handan and gave me so much gold? ”
“Zhao dan does not dare to use this money to humiliate Mister. This money is only for Mister’s entourage. I am grateful that Mister’s entourage could escort you to Handan. I have heard that Mister’s wisdom is divine. How can this money be used to measure Mister’s talent? however, now that Zhao country is in danger, I have also been instructed by an expert that only a wise and capable person like Mister can save Zhao country. I have invited Mister to Handan to meet you!” At this moment, zhao dan was extremely sincere in front of Zhuang Zi. He was as respectful as a primary school student to his teacher.
Oh, I wonder what kind of danger the state of zhao is in right now that it’s making the Crown Prince so worried? ” Xia Pingan asked.
“Mister, when you entered the city, did you see anything different about Handan City?” Zhao dan asked.
Handan is very prosperous, but I can see that there are many people with swords on the street, ” Xia Pingan said.
“That’s right!” Zhao dan sighed, ” the biggest worry of our Zhao country is because of the sword. To be honest, my father has been obsessed with the sword for the past three years. He has recruited 3000 sword artists in Handan. Every day, he is either practicing the sword or watching the sword artists compete. He has no interest in politics. Every day, there are deaths and injuries in the sword Artist Competition. Everyone in Handan City is talking about sword arts and doesn’t care about the country. Servants from all over the country come to Handan to find out more. Seeing the state of zhao, the surrounding Dukes are already eyeing the state of zhao covetously. If this continues, the state of zhao will be in imminent danger. Thus, zhao dan implores you to save the state of zhao. It would be best if you could meet my father and have him cut off his addiction to swordsmanship and focus on state affairs.”
As he spoke, zhao dan bowed to Xia Pingan again.
Xia Pingan smiled and looked at the long robe he was wearing. this is easy. Please ask Your Highness to dress me up as the swordsman that your father likes and take me to see your father!
Zhao dan was stunned. She looked at the sage-like Xia Pingan and hesitated for a moment. would this be disrespectful to you, Sir? the swordsmen that my father likes all have unkempt hair, protruding hair, low hats, thick tassels, and tight clothes. They open their eyes wide and don’t like to talk. They are all fierce and aggressive.
“It’s okay. Just say that I’m good at swordsmanship and take me to your father!”
Seeing Xia Pingan’s confident look, zhao dan immediately ordered his men to get busy and prepare Xia Pingan’s swordsman outfit. It took three days for everything to be ready.
Zhao dan prepared a set of exquisite swordsman’s clothing for Xia Pingan. It was a fitting swordsman’s uniform, a hat, and a treasured sword. He then sent someone to the palace to report to his father that he had brought a swordsman expert to the palace and would like to show his father his swordsmanship.
King Zhao Huiwen had been watching the swordsman duels in the palace for the past two days. When he heard that the Crown Prince had found him a swordsman expert, he immediately became interested and agreed to let zhao dan bring Xia Pingan into the palace.
Crown Prince Dan and Xia ping ‘an sat in the carriage and entered the palace.
After entering the palace of zhao state, Xia ping ‘an saw King Huiwen in the main hall.
King Zhao Huiwen was actually an old acquaintance. Xia Pingan had already seen him when he fused with the realm Pearl of the intact Zhao realm.
King Huiwen was dressed in a Royal robe and had a nine-pin crown on his head. He was extremely majestic. The one with a twelve-pin crown was the Emperor of great Zhou. No one among the vassals dared to make him wear a twelve-pin crown.
After the crown prince’s introduction, Xia ping ‘an stood up straight and had no intention of bowing down. Zhao dan looked on from the side and kept winking at Xia ping’ an, almost breaking out in a cold sweat.
King Zhao Huiwen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia ping ‘an, ” why don’t you bow to me? ”
I heard that Your Majesty likes swordsmanship. You should know that a real sword would rather break than bend. I cultivate my body with the sword, so I don’t have to bow to you with my swordsmanship!
When Zhao Huiwen heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was also interested. He felt that Xia ping ‘an was different from the other swordsmen he had seen before. Oh, what level of swordsmanship have you cultivated to? how dare you speak to me like this? ”
my swordsmanship has already reached the realm of killing one person in ten steps and not leaving a trace for a thousand miles!
“Killing one person in ten steps, not leaving a trace for a thousand miles!” King Zhao Huiwen was shocked. Her eyes lit up and she stood up from the throne. then, you’re invincible. Tell me how you did it? ”
the essence of swordsmanship is these 12 words. Show the emptiness, open the advantage, launch the attack later, and reach the end first!
Hearing this, King Huiwen seemed to understand, but a swordsman couldn’t just talk, so he asked directly, ” you’re right, but do you dare to have a duel with my swordsman? ”
“Of course, no problem!”
hahaha hehe! King Huiwen laughed happily and said ” good ” three times. since that’s the case, you can go and rest for a few days. I’ll pick the strongest swordsman and then compete with you!
......
Zhao dan brought Xia Pingan out of the palace once again. His back was covered in cold sweat. Sitting in the carriage, zhao dan asked Xia Pingan nervously, ” Sir, the 3000 swordsmen under my father are all swordsmen experts of the zhao state. Today, Sir did not pay respects to my father in the main hall and even said that he could kill one person in ten steps without leaving a trace. My father has already become competitive and wants to fight for the title of invincibility to dampen Sir’s spirit. In a few days, he will definitely choose the strongest swordsmen to compete with you. One in ten thousand, during the competition, it’s always a life and death battle, killing in the blink of an eye, is teacher really confident?”
Zhao dan couldn’t be blamed for being nervous. He had originally thought that he would be able to hear Xia ping ‘an’s glib arguments to persuade his father when he brought Xia ping’ an into the palace. He didn’t expect that Xia ping ‘an would only say a few words when he entered the palace this time, but his father would be provoked like a cock fight. He actually wanted to select an expert to compete with Xia ping’ an in swordsmanship. As the saying goes,”a monarch doesn’t lie,” this was not something to joke about.
“Your Highness, there’s no need to worry. We’ll see in a few days!” Xia Pingan said calmly.
Seeing how confident Xia Pingan was, zhao dan could only give in.
For the next few days, Xia ping ‘an stayed in the residence that zhao dan had prepared for him. He lived a carefree life, while zhao dan sent people to inform him of the news every day. The news was about how his father, the king, had arranged for the experts under his command to compete with each other, and who had been selected to fight with Xia ping’ an in the main hall.
In order for King Zhao Huiwen to choose the expert to spar with Xia Pingan, a few dozen sword experts had died in Handan City.
In these few days, the news of King Huiwen selecting sword experts to compete with an expert who could kill a person in ten steps and travel a thousand miles had spread throughout Handan City. All the blade artists had gone crazy.
After seven days of selection, King Huiwen had selected the five strongest swordsmen from his 3000 subordinates to compete with Xia ping ‘an in the palace.
After the preparations were complete, King Zhao Huiwen had zhao dan bring Xia ping ‘an back to the palace.
When he returned to the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was particularly somber. The Imperial Guards in armor were all ready. King Huiwen had even prepared a stage for the competition in the main hall. Some ministers heard that King Zhao was selecting a swordsman and was going to compete for the title of invincible swordsman, so they came.
As soon as Xia ping ‘an arrived in the palace, he saw five swordsmen waiting for him outside the main hall. The five swordsmen had different appearances. Some were arrogant, some were cold, and some were full of killing intent. However, when they looked over at him, their eyes were like swords, carrying an indescribable sharp killing intent. Sword intent surged from their bodies.
To be able to pick these five people from King Huiwen’s 3000 sword artists, there was no doubt that these five were the top sword experts of Zhao.
Looking at the five swordsmen, Xia Pingan sighed in his heart. The five of them were also worthy of respect.
Seeing that Xia ping ‘an had arrived as promised, Zhao Huiwen was very happy and excited. Sir, can we compete? ”
“Sure!”
“What style and length of treasured swords do you need, Sir? I have all of them here!”
“My sword techniques are the same whether it’s a long sword or a short sword. However, I have three sword techniques here for Your Majesty to choose from. Please allow me to explain some of them before we continue.”
There were actually three sword techniques?
King Zhao Huiwen’s interest was piqued as well, and he asked curiously, ” I wonder which of the three sword techniques you know? ”
...
Xia ping ‘an looked around and said loudly, ” among my three sword techniques, there is the emperor’s sword, the Marquis’ sword, and the commoner’s sword. I wonder which sword Your Majesty would like to choose? ”
Hearing Xia Pingan’s words, everyone present was shocked. Zhao Huiwen King even stood up from his seat once again, and his attitude towards Xia Pingan suddenly became respectful. He asked, ” how is Sir’s Emperor’s sword? ”
“The emperor’s sword, with the stone city of Yanji as the tip and Qi Dai as the edge; Jin and Wei were the Deputy, Zhou and song were the Deputy, and han and Wei were the pincers. They surrounded the four barbarians and four hours, took the Bohai Sea and brought the Chang mountain. The restriction was based on the five elements, the punishment was based on virtue, the yin and yang were based on spring and summer, and the movement was based on autumn and winter. This sword was straight and unparalleled. It was unparalleled. Floating clouds above, absolute land order below. Once this sword was used, the world would submit to the Marquis. This is the sword of the Son of Heaven, and those who can use it will be the emperor’s sword.”
Xia ping ‘an’s voice resounded throughout the palace like a thunderclap. The entire Palace was silent for a moment, as everyone was shocked.
When King Huiwen heard about the sword of the Son of Heaven, he was dazed for a long time. He looked out of the palace and seemed to see Stone City, Mount Tai, and Xuanji in the Central Plains.
“What is the Duke’s sword, Mr. Wanwan?” &Nbsp; King Huiwen’s voice was different from before, slightly trembling and bitter.
“The Marquis ‘sword uses brave warriors as the tip, honest soldiers as the edge, virtuous soldiers as the ridge, loyal soldiers as the tan, and bold soldiers as the clamp. This sword was straight and had no front, no bottom, no side. The upper law rounded the heavens to comply with the three lights, the lower law to comply with the Four Seasons, and the neutral people’s will to calm the four villages. The moment this sword was used, it was like a Thunderbolt. Within the four seals, there was no one who didn’t submit and listen to the orders of the Emperor. This is the sword of the Dukes, and in the Great War of the World, all the Dukes are fighting to use it. ”
The palace was silent again!
After a while, King Huiwen spoke again, but his voice had become softer and more despondent. may I ask what is teacher’s sword of the common people? ”
Xia ping ‘an smiled slightly. the sword of a commoner, with disheveled hair, drooping crown, tassels, and short clothes. It’s difficult to speak with just a glance. The sword of a commoner was no different from fighting roosters. Once one’s life was over, it would be useless for the country. Today the king has the position of the Son of Heaven and likes the sword of commoners. This official disdains the king’s arrogance.”
Upon hearing Xia ping ‘an’s words, the five swordsmen chosen by King Huiwen looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence, not daring to look at Xia ping’ an.
...
When King Zhao Huiwen heard this, his face was filled with shame. He personally walked down from the throne and held Xia Pingan’s hand as they walked into the main hall. He quickly ordered his left subordinate to prepare good food and wine for them. what you said today is like the evening drum and morning bell, which suddenly woke me up. Thank you for teaching me, thank you for teaching me!
King Huiwen was so excited that he paced around the main hall, circling the manor three times, not knowing what to say.
Xia ping ‘an smiled and said, ” please take a seat and calm down, Your Majesty. I have already submitted a report regarding the swordsmanship. As for what to do, it’s all up to Your Majesty!
......
Zhao dan personally sent Xia Pingan out of the palace. Sitting in the carriage, zhao dan was extremely excited and overjoyed along the way. Xia Pingan was like a god to her.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that his words in the manor Hall had saved the country of Zhao from a great disaster.
“The sword of the Emperor that you mentioned is deafening. I have also benefited a lot from it. Please stay in Handan for a few more days so that I can take good care of you. If you have any other requests, please let me know. I will definitely satisfy you.”
Xia ping ‘an looked in the direction of the palace. Just now, King Zhao had been warmly entertaining him in the palace, and the five swordsmen that King Zhao had previously selected to compete with him were no longer of any concern to anyone.
Although Xia ping ‘an didn’t know the names of those five people, he truly admired them in his heart. Their moral integrity made him sigh with emotion. They were true warriors.
In the classical story of swordsmanship in the village, the people who really impressed Xia ping ‘an, except for the village, were not Zhao Huiwen, King, or zhao dan, but those swordsmen who committed suicide after understanding the righteousness.
There was no trace of happiness on Xia Pingan’s face. Instead, he sighed and said, ” Your Highness, the five swordsmen selected by His Majesty were all loyal and righteous men. After hearing what I said just now, all of them were extremely ashamed and did not dare to look at me again. In order not to delay the king and the zhao state, I’m afraid that they have already committed suicide at this moment. Among the 3000 swordsmen selected by His Majesty, I’m afraid that many of them have committed suicide. They used their lives to make the king cut off his hobby of using the sword of commoners. Such a character is admirable. Your Highness, please give the one thousand taels of gold that you bestowed upon me to their families and give them a proper burial. Use their swords to accompany them in their graves, and I will personally pay my respects to them!”
Zhao dan was also stunned for a moment. She did not expect Xia Pingan to make such a request.
“Don’t worry, Sir. I’ll definitely do as you say!” Zhao dan nodded and said seriously.
......
After a few days, on a Hill outside of Handan City, there were hundreds of new graves. Among them, five were particularly eye-catching. These were the swordsmen who had committed suicide under the king of Zhao after Ming Dayi.
Xia ping ‘an personally brought two carts of fine wine to pay respects to the graves. Zhao dan also brought along many of his followers.
Looking at the new graves, Xia ping ‘an’s heart was filled with emotions. He pulled out his long sword and passionately danced and sang in front of the graves for the righteous men.
With a sword in hand, Xia Pingan’s body moved with the sword. The sword light was like a dragon, killing one person in ten steps and not leaving a trace in a thousand miles. The people around him looked at each other in fear.
In the sword light, Xia Pingan’s song was desolate and vast, resounding in the grave.
“My friend has a sword, so we’re as close as friends. We’re really close, let’s drink together.
The drunkard’s liver and guts were exposed, and he wished he could cut it open right in front of his eyes. He sang Jing Qing’s song loudly, and his attacks were like a banner.
More striking, more singing, more drinking, more longevity. The white streak of light flew up, while the green snake box roared.
I heard a strange sound and suspected it to be a puppet. If I pay my respects again, can I see the divine item?
The sovereign’s words are important to me, so I will take them for the sovereign. The greeting has already been lit with incense, and the first to approach the sheath is the hand.
Slowly drawing inch by inch blades, he bent his elbows. Kill the frost at the edge, gather the moon Lin buttons.
Yu lü was startled. The lightning filled the room as the flood Dragon circled around.
I cry from holding it, this sword has been gone for a long time. When cast, near the broken mountain, hidden in the rotten pine.
Buried at the bottom of the dark box prison, the God water heart guard. It was originally Ji Nique, but it was not Lei Huan.
I wish to evaluate my sword skills, and I hope Junliang will accept. The sword could cut through rhinoceros and qiongjiu.
The sword Art of the clouds beyond the heavens, the sword of the sun. The sword split the demonic snake’s belly, and the sword stroked the official’s head.
The broken turtle from the immemorial age, and the attack of the martial King. Yan dan rolled up the map, and Chen Ping picked up the flower carriage.
The branches of the Laurel tree glowed coldly in the forest. He had once used crickets and weeds to forge farming weapons.
The divine object finally changed back to the Dragon and the wood. At the end of the Jin dynasty, the Armory was burned and the family was established.
In order to sweep away a group of people, they scattered into brooms that covered the sky. Let’s go together.
Who would cast it today? it would be a thousand years later. Neither Gu Feng Hu nor Crow nine.
Traveling with one’s self, one would be more conceited. Kuang Qing’s treasured sword struck out with great ambition.
This sword was too strange, and his heart was too thick. He advised the king to be careful in what he used, and to hide what he used.
A hidden general should not guard against a concubine. Let’s not test the dogs on the street.
When you’re trapped in mud, I’m also afraid of dust. Common people speak big words, but when there are few people, they speak.”
When Xia ping ‘an was brandishing his sword, a Gale suddenly rose, causing the sun and the moon to lose their light. The gale blew the pines on the mountain like waves, causing the stream to wail, sand and stones to fly in the air. In the mountain range, ghostly wails and wolf howls reverberated in all directions. Whirling sand, together with pine needles and fallen leaves, flew around Xia ping’ an and accompanied his sword as if they were sparring with Xia ping ‘an.
Amidst the singing, Xia Pingan rose into the air and left words on the cliff next to the swordsmen’s Cemetery. Under the flying debris, five big words appeared on the cliff.
– Huaxia swordsman tomb!
After the song, the memorial ceremony was over. Xia Pingan’s sword shook and broke into pieces, turning into nothingness. The world of the realm Pearl also shattered at the same time.
......
His divine power had increased by 95 points!
Xia ping ‘an’s body once again experienced a turbulent process of divine power.
When everything settled down, a golden embossed sculpture appeared in Xia Pingan’s Secret mandala. In the middle of the relief sculpture was the Emperor with a sword. The image of the Emperor was exactly the same as the majestic Emperor who had used the emperor’s sword that Xia Pingan had seen summoned by immortal Styx River. Under the command of the Emperor, there was also an Army of swordsmen led by five swordsmen.
The Emperor, the five swordsmen, and the Army of swordsmen were all resplendent and could be summoned.
This time, Wufu seemed to have a breakthrough fusion of Wufu.
Other than the emperor’s sword, there was also the sword of the common people.
When an ordinary person fused with the realm Pearl of the emperor’s sword, they would only have one summoning slot and would not be able to summon other swordsmen.
