Chapter 268: The Land of the Holy Path
"Really, don't want it?...... such a good thing" Qin Zhongyu deliberately shook the Xuanyuan Sword in front of Ying Zheng, and said again.
"I said no, just don't, I'm a golden mouth...... Moreover, Zhong Yu, your strength is no longer what it used to be, and it is probably not enough to continue to use the previous Madame Xu dagger and fish intestine sword......"
"Uh...... I don't think my strength is still very much lacking...... After all, this Xuanyuan Sword is a treasure from the ancient era, and I just think that if it is placed on me, it may not be able to fully exert the strength of the treasure...... It's better to leave it to Ah Zheng, you ......," Qin Zhongyu said seriously.
"No......" Ying Zheng also said with a serious face, "Zhong Yu, don't be wrong, the reason why I returned this Xuanyuan Sword to you is not just based on your ability...... I also have other considerations......"
"Why is that?" Qin Zhongyu asked with some puzzlement. After all, in Qin Zhongyu's heart, he always felt that with his own strength, he didn't seem to be qualified to use such a treasure.
"As the maid said, you are the most suitable master of this sword...... I also agree with this ......"
"You're too general......"
"Well, let's put it this way, even if I didn't believe it before, but after carefully looking at this Xuanyuan Sword, I do admit that what the female Lu said is not wrong......"
Ying Zheng continued: "Zhong Yu, you also know that this Xuanyuan Sword is also known as the 'Sword of the Holy Dao', and it is a treasure that only the kings of Shengming are qualified to have, so many kings hope to be able to get this Xuanyuan Sword to prove that they are the true Saint King...... But have you ever wondered what the 'Holy Way' is?"
"This ...... I really didn't think about it......" Qin Zhongyu admitted.
Ying Zheng explained: "In my opinion, the so-called holy way is not the way of the saints, but rather the way that can benefit the common people in the world, after all, the so-called saints are not all elected by the common people? Therefore, a country that meets the interests of the vast majority of the people, a country that can benefit the people, can be called the country of the holy way." ”
"That's ...... too"
"So, it's better to hand over the Xuanyuan Sword to you...... Who told you that you are the embodiment of the jade seal of the country, which itself represents the will of the people of the world?"
"Is that so?" Qin Zhongyu said embarrassedly, "When you say that, I suddenly feel that the responsibility has become so great...... What is the will of the people of the world...... I feel like I can't even afford it......"
"Don't worry about that, Zhong Yu, you just need to follow your heart...... But I feel like your good old personality is always thinking about other people......"
"Uh......"
And Ying Zheng continued to explain, "And although this Xuanyuan Sword is the treasure of heaven and earth, it is not suitable for me, after all, a willful person like me doesn't like to be restricted by the rules and regulations engraved on it...... What do you want to do in the future, you have to see if it is in line with the way of the sage written on the Xuanyuan Sword, so what does it mean for me, the First Emperor, to do it?"
"That's the ......
Qin Zhongyu thought about it and understood Yingzheng's intentions.
I think that Ying Zheng was also a person at the end of the Warring States Period, at that time, a hundred schools of thought were contending, and various schools of thought were popular, but Ying Zheng was firmly implementing his own thoughts.
Saints don't exist. As long as you can achieve the goal, why stick to the method?
Then Qin Zhongyu also said: "It is better to believe in a book than to have no book, although Xuanyuan Jian wrote on one side the art of farming and animal husbandry, and on the other hand, the policy of unifying the four seas was regarded as the basis for governing the country...... But the world is always developing, and the so-called holy way may not be correct today......"
"Ah, by the way, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!, so I'd rather trust your own judgment than what is written on this Xuanyuan sword......
"Haha, Zhong Yu, you're really getting better at talking now...... But after all, it's my man, and when you say that, it reminds me of the fact that I was resurrected not long ago......"
"Not long after the resurrection?"
"Well, when I was in school, a professor of history said to me, 'Even if Qin Shi Huang is really resurrected, the wheel of times cannot be turned back'...... At the time, I thought it was incomprehensible, but during this time, it seems that I have really seen that in this era, there are really few countries that are still ruled by emperors...... I have to say it's really different......"
When he said this, Ying Zheng's face was a little lost, but he was a little relieved.
"That's it......" Qin Zhongyu looked at Ying Zheng with some concern, worried that Ying Zheng would be a little disappointed because of this, so he comforted, "No...... Even if it's a modern textbook, it's still very high for you......"
"Zhong Yu, you don't need to comfort me, and you can rest assured, I won't be discouraged, even if most people in this world don't need an emperor like me anymore, but I think there must be people who need me...... Therefore, my goal of rebuilding the Qin Empire has not changed!"
"Uh, we still have to rebuild the Qin Empire......"
"What's the matter, Zhong Yu, are you dissatisfied?"
"No, no, how can I be dissatisfied? haha......"
Qin Zhongyu looked at Ying Zheng, and felt more and more in his heart that Ying Zheng's persistent heart seemed to be constantly moving him.
"However, it will probably build a different Qin Empire......" Qin Zhongyu thought in his heart.
Because Yingzheng refused to accept the Xuanyuan Sword, Qin Zhongyu still put the Xuanyuan Sword away.
However, this Xuanyuan Sword is not a small weapon like the "Madame Xu Dagger" and the "Fish Intestine Sword" after all, so it is still a little inconvenient for Qin Zhongyu to carry it on his body, especially if it is in a modern city, it will cause some trouble.
"Such a long sword, I don't know if I can take it when I get on the subway, can I take it with me? If it was a little smaller, it would be nice to be able to put it away, or like Yingzheng her, she would collect all kinds of treasures in the mountains and rivers in the map, how convenient it would be......"
Just as Qin Zhongyu was thinking like this, the Xuanyuan Sword turned into a faint white light, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Ah, the Xuanyuan Sword is gone, where has it gone, how did it suddenly disappear like this?"
Qin Zhongyu was taken aback.
"Don't panic...... It shouldn't be gone......" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"What's going on?"
"Such a treasure of heaven and earth is by no means comparable to ordinary mortal products, and sometimes it can be connected with the user's mind, so ...... Zhong Yu, did you think something in your heart just now?"
