Chapter 17: The Royal Secrets

"Because it's coming to me! Came to me with my daughter! It wants to get back the gilded knife that belongs to it!" Liu Jinyi still recalled bitterly.

"You mean dead souls?!" Calder had just heard Liu Jinyi mention it.

"That's right! That's it! It was then that I began to fully understand what the true meaning of that mission was, that they needed those weird things to guard the royal tomb!"

"What? The emperor of China needs this after his death, so he will ask you to take it with all your lives! It's amazing!" Calder said angrily.

"No, you're wrong! If it weren't for the things I had to take, His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't let me personally lead the team, because the gilded sword in my hand directly determines how long this empire can last!" Liu Jinyi said thoughtfully.

"You China is so mysterious, both in terms of culture and the people who live here, but it's no wonder! After all, you are an ancient civilization that has existed for millions of years, and it has never been interrupted!" Carl couldn't help but exclaim with emotion.

Liu Jinyi then returned with the modesty he had held since childhood: "Mr. John is really an award, just as Mr. John said, there are indeed a lot of ** and inequality things in our China now!" On this point, we should learn a lot from the United States!"

Calder was also busy and said modestly: "Mr. Liu is really overrated!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Jinyi laughed to herself, because before she knew it, she was as sour and rancid as a literati.

Calder saw Liu Jinyi's extraordinary courage at a glance, and felt that this folk legend was indeed true at all, Liu Jinyi was really as he said, and the gilded knife in his own hand really directly determined how long this empire could last.

"Mr. John, please look!" Liu Jinyi took a step forward and put the knife in Calder's eyes!

"The ornaments on this knife are all very peculiar, and even if I am very researched in Chinese history, I can't see where they come from!" Calder's eyes were fixed on the black, snow-white gilt knife in front of him.

"In fact, a year ago, before the arrival of that thing, I didn't know where the gilded knife in my hand came from, the animal ornaments on it, for twenty years, I also continued to send people to do a lot of very detailed research, but no one knew where it came from, but a year ago it told me that this gilt knife was actually from ancient times, and it was originally recorded in great detail in the ancient god book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but since the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of various countries have secretly erased them in order to cover up the truth!"

"Cover up the truth?! What truth is being covered up?" Calder instantly became nervous.

"Those who can afford to use a gilded knife are the real gods! Because the gilded sword only gives birth to the next successor in China every two hundred years, if the current user of the gilded knife dies early, but the next one does not succeed, the dynasty will overturn in an instant! Until the next Gilded Knife user appears! The world will stabilize again!"

Calder listened, his mouth opened wide in disbelief, and then he hurriedly asked: "Then it seems that in this way, isn't China going to be replaced every hundred years at most?!"

"No, Mr. John, you are wrong! The life span of the gilt knife user is not limited by the usual age like ordinary people, it is only related to the strength of the individual, and has nothing to do with anything else, which means that like the Han and Tang dynasties of our ancient China, as well as the Yuan and Ming and Qing dynasties, they were all powerful countries in the world at that time in Chinese history, which indirectly shows that the gilt knife users at that time were strong and terrible, especially when the Yuan Dynasty, it led the Mongolian people in China to almost conquer the world!"

"I have also read a lot of relevant records in ancient European literature, saying that during the Yuan Dynasty in China, their army was very good at riding and shooting, but the most indestructible was a knife with black gold!" Calder suddenly seemed to think of something.

"It's because it's terrifyingly strong, so it won't be long before it's killed!" Liu Jinyi then said.

"You mean Dead Souls?! But what's going on?" Calder asked, still confused.

"That day, after a hundred moves with me casually, it found that my strength was far lower than it expected, it wanted to kill me with one blow, but when his hand hit my neck, he regretted it, so there was a scene where Wanyin called my father behind my back, it seemed to be able to pull out any object from any time and space, and Wanyin at that time came from a year ago, when I carried it to the ancient tomb, the hair bun and clothes on my body were carefully taken care of by me before I set off.

"It killed her!" Calder didn't want to ask, but the words blurted out at once.

"No, I killed her!" Liu Jinyi's expression became painful.

"How so? As the general's father...... Calder did not finish, but apparently it did not believe it at all.

"That's right! I killed her by mistake!"
