Chapter 251 (1/2)

”How... How could this happen?” murmured Kikukawa? Mr. gyechuan, is that true? ”

”It's not the Emperor himself, but in the final analysis, it's the emperor. There's nothing false about that,” he said

Kikukawa is still reluctant to believe, ”but... Samurai is the most loyal person to his majesty. Since my father is also samurai, why did his majesty... Do it that day?”

Yoshikawa didn't answer him, but asked: ”the holy sword has always been regarded as a symbol of the royal family. Every holy sword is held by a holy sword warrior, who guards the imperial power from generation to generation.” However, do you know why, in the past few hundred years, Japan has gone through great difficulties and its imperial power has declined several times, but no paladins have come out to defend it? ”

On this issue

Not only did Kikukawa pingzhe not know, but also people like ITO Babao and Shengong marzao did not know. They only knew that the holy sword had not been used for hundreds of years. Although the royal family often announced the existence of the holy sword, they often selected the candidates of the holy sword warrior. But who can guarantee that it's not a show? If the sword is not in front of them now, they even have to doubt whether the sword really only exists in the legend.

”You don't know! I believe it's not just you. It seems that no one here knows the real reason except me. Even in this world, except for a few people, no one knows the real reason. ”

By saying this, Yoshikawa aroused almost everyone's curiosity. Takeda, takeri Okubo and shinkung marzuo, who had been quite at war, now gave up their plans to fight. They all raised their ears to hear what was going on. After all, this kind of top secret thing is not easy to have a chance to know. Although they are samurai, they don't know the secret of the sword.

”Because almost no one knows that the so-called holy sword, the so-called legend of holy sword, is actually a lie! All the holy swords are fakes! It's not left by any God when he created the earth! All this is a complete fraud! ”

what?!

This sentence of Yuki Yaskawa is like a heavy bomb, which makes everyone dizzy, even Lingyun.

How can such a thing be possible?!

If Lingyun said this before he saw Shengjian, maybe he would believe it without hesitation. But now, he had already fought with two holy swords and accepted one. He was beaten by the second holy sword and was about to run away. At this time, Yoshikawa said that the legend of the holy sword is a lie, all the holy swords are fake?!

Although Ling Yun knows that you GUI is one of his own, it's hard to believe what she said. After all, one's own personal experience will never be false, and the terrible power shown by the holy sword will not be false. If even this can be fake, I'm afraid there will be nothing real in the world.

Yuki yasugawa even realized that his words were hard to believe. He said with a smile, ”I know, you may be hard to believe these words. After all, the power contained in the holy sword is real. You can't fake it anyway. However, I still want to tell you that even so, this holy sword is fake! The reason why these fake swords are so powerful is because of the lies of the legend of the sword

No one spoke. Everyone was listening to Yoshikawa's explanation. Yoshikawa is the head of the family. She can't come here to make such a big joke.

”If you tell a lie a thousand times, it will become true. This is an eternal truth. A long time ago, the emperor of Japan at that time had realized that power could be generated as long as people or objects were carrying enough faith. If this power can be used, it will be a powerful weapon.

It is based on this understanding that there is a legend about the holy sword in Japan. You must be familiar with the legend of the holy sword, right? For thousands of years, the royal family has been telling such a lie to the public repeatedly, the purpose is to make people believe that it is true, so as to get the power of people's belief! ”

Yoshikawa's words stunned almost everyone. If her words were true, then the joke would be too big!

Yoshikawa continued: ”the legend about the holy sword was not like this at the beginning. Even now, there are many legends about different versions of the holy sword among the people.

The reason for this is that at the beginning, even the royal family did not have a systematic view of the so-called holy sword.

Now the most popular saying about the holy sword that you agree with is left by the emperor of bird feather.

Emperor Niaoyu is the first person to systematize the legend of the holy sword, and also the first person in history to make the holy sword into a real object.

According to the appearance of the legendary holy sword, he ordered people to make these nine holy swords secretly. In the Imperial Palace at that time, the bird feather emperor also specially set up a place to sacrifice the nine holy swords. This place is known as the sword niche.

However, although the holy sword has been made, it does not mean that the nine swords have the legendary power. It takes a long time for belief to gather into strength, and this belief must be truly open and sincere.

At that time, the emperor bird feather just systematized the legend of the holy sword. The time was too short, so the nine holy swords at that time had almost no power. It can even be said that it is no different from ordinary sword.

There is a story to prove that.

The most famous thing about the bird feather emperor is the chaos in front of yuzao.

Yuzaoqian is a Nine Tailed Fox who has been practicing for thousands of years and has been transformed into a peerless beauty to confuse the king. Every time when the dynasty changes, it will come out to bring disaster to the world. She became Meixi in Xia Jie and Daji in Shang Zhou. When the Shang Dynasty perished, she was chased by Jiang Ziya and forced to come to Japan. She called herself ”yuzaoqian” and won the favor and trust of emperor Niaoyu.

Later, the bird feather emperor fell ill and lay down on his bed. Emperor Niaoyu has always been in good health and seldom gets sick. However, after spoiling yuzaoqian, he got a strange disease. So the ministers began to doubt her and asked Yin Yang master Abe Qingming to investigate her secretly. Finally, the true face of ”yuzaoqian” was exposed. Emperor Niaoyu, who recovered from his illness, became angry and ordered to hunt down yuzaoqian.

I believe you are all familiar with this story. But have you found anything? ”

Without waiting for an answer, Yoshikawa continued: ”it is said in the story that emperor Niaoyu, after knowing the truth, sent Yichun Sanpu and Guangchang shangzong to lead an army of 15000 people to pursue the fox. After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the fox was defeated and turned into a huge rock. And the evil fox after turning into rock is still malignant, often releasing toxic gas to hurt people. Later, xuanweng, a famous monk, used his magic power to break the rock in half, and then completely eliminated the evil spirit of the fox. But the Fox also sent poison gas out of the stone, so that people, animals and birds passing by would die, becoming a famous ”killing stone.”.

Everyone knows the ending. But that's the problem.

According to the legend of the holy sword, the holy sword is used to protect the royal family, especially the emperor. At that time, the emperor of bird feather was confused by yuzao. He was seriously ill and almost died. But why didn't he see the holy sword or what the holy sword warrior did?

If it can be understood that the main ability of sabre warriors is to fight, then the next thing is even more puzzling. Before pursuing yuzao, the emperor sent out an army of 15000 people, and the battle lasted two days and two nights, with countless casualties. Then why didn't the holy sword and the holy sword warriors do anything at this time? This is a real fight

”If the holy sword at that time had the power of today's holy sword, why should we send tens of thousands of people to pursue yuzaoqian? As long as you send a few Sabre warriors, it's probably enough to kill yuzaoqian, isn't it?

But there is no such thing. After paying the price of countless lives, the emperor of bird feather still left behind the trouble of ”killing stone”. What does that mean?

All these things probably only show one problem, that is, the holy sword at that time had no power! ”

Yoshikawa continued: ”at that time, the holy sword had no power. Then where did the power of the holy sword come from?

Very simply, I have said that the cohesion of the power of faith must be tested for a long time, and people must always firmly believe in this faith.

Later, the power contained in the holy sword was obtained from people's continuous worship and belief on the basis of the legend of the holy sword established by the bird feather emperor.

After the nine holy swords were put into the sword niche by the bird feather emperor, the folk established the version of the legend of the holy sword. Under the conscious guidance of the government, people spread it from mouth to mouth. The more people spread it, the more people believed it. Over time, the fake became true.

So the power of people's faith is continuously carried on these nine holy swords. After hundreds of years, the holy sword has the power to make people feel terrible.

This is the real source of the sword! It is the faith of ordinary people that gives it strength. ”

It's not only Ling Yun, but also you GUI. It's the first time for everyone to hear it. Almost everyone's eyes show an incredible look.

Yoshikawa chuckled, obviously not surprised by this situation, and continued: ”the first and only appearance of Shengjian in history is recorded in the famous war of Guanyuan. This is also the most conclusive evidence that the sword is considered to exist all the time. However, in the hundreds of years after the war, there were several wars in Japan that were larger in scale and far-reaching in significance, but the holy sword never appeared again. Do you know why? ”

No one knows. All people's eyes unconsciously revealed doubts.

”Because in that battle, all the holy swords were destroyed!” he said

Destroyed?!

The news was so incredible that even ITO Babao and Shengong marzao were stunned when they heard it.

”You heard me right. In that battle, the holy sword was destroyed. Although sacred swords were respected as sacred objects and possessed powerful divine power at that time, they were also swords in essence. It was not very difficult for a sword to be damaged in war. I'm the ancestor of the gagawa family who took part in that war. The family history clearly records this history. ”
