Chapter 547 The Eight Swords of the King's Way
Fu Qingzhou has heard the name of the Eight Swords of the King's Way several times.
However, he didn’t know exactly what this thing was and what it did.
While he was still thinking about it, Li Jingzhe beside him could no longer hold his breath and exclaimed: "Sir, how is this possible?!"
Ning Wuwang also frowned: " Father, even if you want to appease them, this is a bit..."
"Haha, the eight swords of the king are for the virtuous."
Ning Baimei smiled and said: "Even if they hold the divine sword in their hands, they can't exert its power. Those swords are just decorations in their hands. , What's there to be afraid of?"
"But..."
Li Jingzhe still said solemnly: "After all, it is the Eight Swords of the King! It means giving them a share of destiny. If there are really dark-minded people among them, wouldn't it be..."
"Well, interrupt me." Fu Qingzhou raised his hand weakly: " Can you explain it? I don’t quite understand.”
Li Jingzhe glanced at him dissatisfied.
Ning Baimei smiled and said: "You are now the master of the Virtue Sword, so you should know it, and... this matter is also related to you."
After that, he Turning to his son: "Wuwu, tell me."
"Yes, father."
After Ning Wuwu bowed, he looked at Fu Qingzhou and smiled: "Young Master Xia, how much do you know about the Eight Swords of Kings?”
"Uh... I don't know."
Fu Qingzhou scratched his head: "During the battle in Sangmen Village, Hoyaer revealed the origin of the German sword in Jiang Baichuan's hand. I heard it, that's all."
"Then, let me start from the beginning." Ning Wuwang said softly.
He considered the sentence for a moment and said leisurely: "At the beginning of Dayan's founding, due to the vast territory and difficulty in governance, major moves were made every few years to cause chaos. Although I, the Holy Ancestor of Dayan, have abundant martial virtues , there are countless famous generals under his command, but after all, it is difficult to cover everything... In the past ten years, countless civilians have lost their lives due to the turmoil, neighboring countries are watching with eager eyes, and the mountains and rivers of the country are broken, which is heartbreaking."
" Therefore, the Holy Ancestor personally joined hands with eight good generals and ministers to travel all over the country, using his supreme supernatural power to gain the fortune of the country. It took more than twenty years and in the later years of the Holy Ancestor... he finally forged the Eight Swords of the King."
"These eight swords are named benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, virtuousness, virtue, military, and punishment. Each of the eight swords is responsible for the destiny of the country and the country. It is held by eight good generals and ministers with corresponding virtues. When the eight swords gather together, that is, It can suppress all chaos."
"With the eight swords, the Holy Ancestor finally suppressed the chaos inside and outside Dayan. In addition, the eight sword-holders guarded the country, and there was no more chaos. Dayan's country was peaceful from now on. Peace, singing and dancing. "
"Of course, the Holy Ancestors are far-sighted and know that those who hold swords will also grow old and die, and their descendants may not have the ability to hold swords, so..."
Ning Wuwang smiled slightly: "That's it, Mingjiange."
The following story is no longer complicated.
When the Mingjian Pavilion was first established, it did not have the power and authority it has today to patrol the sky and supervise hundreds of officials. At that time, the Mingjian Pavilion was only responsible for selecting and verifying those who were qualified to hold swords in the world, and passing on the Eight Swords of Kings. Gift them.
The name Xiangjianshi also comes from this.
Looking at swords and looking at swords is said to judge the quality of a sword, but in fact it is to test the virtue of the sword holder.
Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly when he heard this, but soon became confused again: "Hey, speaking of this, when we were dealing with Huijue at Jinchan Temple, Zhao... uh, the emperor lent me the scabbard of that royal sword. "Use, this Wang Sword sounds the same as the Eight Swords of Wang Dao?"
Hearing this, Li Jingzhe and Ning Wuwang's expressions became strange again.
Ning Baimei chuckled and said: "You are a disciple of the True Immortal Palace. It is not surprising that you can control the scabbard of the Wang Sword."
"The history of Wang Jian is longer and further than that of Dayan. It was first forged by Wuliang Taiji Dao, the predecessor of Zhenxian Palace. Dayan Saint Ancestor cast the Eight Swords of the King's Dao, which actually borrowed the power of the King's Sword."
"The secrets here are related to you and me today. What I'm talking about is irrelevant, so I won't say much. If you are interested, Mr. Fu, you can go to Mingjian Pavilion and read the classics in the future, and you will know."
Fu Qingzhou nodded, did not ask any more questions, and just changed. Direction: "Now, who holds the Eight Swords of the King's Way?"
"...Half of the eight swords today have not chosen their masters."
Ning Wuwang said softly: "In fact, since the Holy Ancestor, the Eight Swords have never been able to choose their masters, and there have never been eight people in the world who can make them recognize their masters at the same time."
< br>Fu Qingzhou was startled: "They are so picky?"
"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, virtue, virtue, military, and punishment."
Ning Wuwu repeated these eight The name of the sword, leisurely said: "These eight words are simple to say, but how can it be simple if you want to have no distractions and follow the same actions?"
Fu Qingzhou smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the sword. The hilt of the sword, gently caressing: "So, I am quite honored?"
"Of course."
Ning Wuwang nodded and said: "A virtuous person follows the right path, and only those with a righteous heart can get it... If Fu Shaoxia can be recognized by the Dejian, he is a true virtuous hero. This is It is an honor for the young hero, and it is also an honor for Dejian."
Li Jingzhe was obviously a little dissatisfied, and snorted secretly.
Ning Baimei smiled and said: "Now, there are three and a half swords of the Eight Swords of the King, and the master has been chosen."
"Three and a half?" Fu Qingzhou was startled: "Is there still half a sword?"
"Yes."
Ning Wuwu took over his father's words and said: "The first sage sword belongs to Uncle Dong Qianran, the dean of the Sword Palm Academy."
"Sage, With many talents and a reputation as a virtuous man, Master Dong was qualified to be the dean of the Palm Sword Academy at a young age, and his reputation as a virtuous man was well-known throughout the world. Many years ago, the Xianjian recognized him as its master."
"The second handle. The sword belongs to Marshal Hong Ruohai, the great marshal of the Northern Territory. "The Hong family has guarded the border for generations and sacrificed their lives for the country. When Marshal Hong was a boy, he led 800 light cavalry to drive away 30,000 Northern Yi soldiers and horses. With his amazing record, he has guarded the border for decades and never allowed the barbarians to advance even an inch. He is a well-deserved master of weapons and swords.”
Ning Wuwang smiled slightly: "The third virtue sword... Haha, it once belonged to Jiang Baichuan, but now it belongs to you, Shaoxia Fu."
"Oh, this is really embarrassing. "Fu Qingzhou smiled and continued to ask: "What about the half handle?"
"The half handle is the punishment sword."
Ning Wuwang said: "The punishment sword. It has always been held by Dali Temple, Duchayuan, Ministry of Punishment, and Mingjian Pavilion. These four dharma bureaus have been held in turn by the masters, and there is no rightful owner. However, a few years ago, the emperor was curious and took the punishment sword for viewing, and it actually resonated with the punishment sword. , although he cannot recognize the owner, he is still half the owner of Xingjian."
Fu Qingzhou said "Ah": "Is there such a thing?"
"It's not surprising." Ning Baimei smiled and said: "The emperor was born through punishment. As the lord of the world, he has the power to control the punishment of all people. Although the punishment sword is still enshrined in the Ministry of punishment, in the records of our Mingjian Pavilion, the emperor will He is half a sword master."
Fu Qingzhou was stunned.
Same thing.
In this kind of feudal monarchy society, the emperor is the person with the greatest power, even above the law. Whoever he really wants to "punish" can only be said in one sentence.
Then, he counted silently: "In this way, there are still four swords of benevolence, propriety, wisdom, and righteousness, but they have not yet recognized their master."
"That's right."
Ning Baimei said slowly: "As far as the aristocratic family and the royal family are concerned, if you can hold one of the Eight Swords of the King, you hold a part of the destiny of the country. This is a supreme great thing. Rong, no matter what thoughts they had towards the emperor before, they should at least be polite and restrained on the surface after receiving one of the eight swords."
Li Jingzhe, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold it back. : "My lord, what if they get one of the Eight Swords and are so self-righteous that they don't restrain themselves?"
Ning Baimei turned her head and smiled at him: "Isn't that better?"
Li Jingzhe said. Startled, he understood immediately and nodded.
Fu Qingzhou also understood - it would indeed be better if a sword could blow up the mastermind until he revealed his identity.
Listening to Ning Baimei, although this sword was given to these people, it is impossible for them to recognize its owner with this sword, and it is impossible for them to exert their true power. The act of gifting the sword, more It's just a formality.
On the one hand, this is comfort, on the other hand, of course, it is also testing.
After Ning Wuhua thought for a moment, he asked: "Father, how do you want to give these four swords to each other?"
"Just give the sword of Ren to the Yuan family."
Ning Baimei said softly: "Yuan Keng has an eldest son named Yuan Zizhen. He is the chief envoy of Fuhe Province. He has always been famous for his benevolence, so I gave it to this man."
"The sword of wisdom... I gave it to him." Yu Lan's family. "
"The current owner of Qianfang Baixiao Tower is a descendant of the Lan family. Qianfang Baixiao Tower has access to the world's information, so he deserves to be called "wisdom""
Listen. Hearing these words, Fu Qingzhou was slightly surprised.
The owner of Qianfang Baixiao Building is actually from the Lan family?
Ning Baimei thought for a moment and then said: "The ceremonial sword will be given to King Xishuo - the prince has always respected ancient rituals, so gifting him with this sword is worthy of the name."
"As for the righteous sword... I will give it to King Xishuo." Mr. Yan, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, justice means justice and righteousness. Mr. Yan is the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet. He is the head of civil servants in the world, and he is also the epitome of justice. If he holds this divine sword, no one will dare to do so. "
Li Jingzhe felt more and more uncomfortable: "My lord, is this wrong? As you said, they all meet the standards of sword wielders. Why can't these swords be recognized? Are they the master?"
Before Ning Baimei could speak, Fu Qingzhou started laughing.
“I understand.”
He said: "If they are really the masterminds behind the scenes, then these so-called 'virtues' are all fake, and it is impossible for Excalibur to recognize them as masters."
"If Excalibur really recognizes them, Even if they only partially agree, it shows that they are not just pretending. They are really good people. On the contrary, this gift of swords can bring them to our side."
"Giving four swords can not only distinguish between them. If you get rid of enemies, you still have a chance to gain friends... "High, high!"
After hearing what he said, Li Jingzhe showed a look of surprise.
Ning Baimei also smiled at Li Jingzhe and said: "Junior brother Li, your ability to investigate and interrogate cases is the best in the world, but your combined vertical and horizontal skills are not as good as Fu Shaoxia."
Li Jingzhe's face turned red.
Fu Qingzhou waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, the idea is all yours, Master Ning. I'm just responsible for flattering you."
Ning Baimei looked at him with a smile: "So, Mr. Fu Do you think this plan is feasible?"
"It's feasible."
Fu Qingzhou responded seriously: "It's quite feasible."
"Okay." Ning Baimei smiled again: "Then, this sword... I'll let Fu Shaoxia give it to me on my behalf."
"Huh?"
Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened and he pointed at himself : "Me?"
"That's you." Ning Baimei smiled softly: "However, there are still many details about this matter. Let's discuss it later. The more important thing now is... Fu Shaoxia, Jiang Baichuan's matter , does it remind you of anything? ”
