Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1210 Seal
“The vengeful spirit should be sealed inside the knife.” Shangluo grasped the blade - it fits the knife very well.

[He doesn't want to be decent, so you help him be decent.]

"That's right." Shangluo nodded and said, "This is the most decent way. He doesn't want to be a decent king of Japan, so I will make a sword to be the king of Japan - the sword can't talk, which is great. If it can't talk, it won't make mistakes, and if it doesn't make mistakes, it won't cause trouble to the court. His death like this will be more than his achievements in his entire life~~"

After saying this, he temporarily put the knife in his waist and took out the imperial edict from the censor - because Shangluo said he wanted to confer the title of King of Japan, the censor had prepared all the documents.

"How to write this?"

"We have already filled it out before we came. Shangluo, you just need to fill in your name - hey, what was that name just now?"

"Taira Masakado."

"Why does it sound familiar? Are they from the same family as Hideyoshi and Heiwa?"

"The one with Taira Hideyoshi is a fake. This one is a real member of the Taira clan."

"I see. But I heard that Japanese names are distinguished by surnames. Let's not talk about their own rules. We believe that the Tokugawa family's surname is Minamoto, which is their clan. Their surname is Tokugawa. We also write "King of Japan Minamoto Ieyasu" on documents. So what do you mean by Taira Masakado? And Masakado sounds like a title."

"If that's the case, Taira Masakado should just be written as Taira Masakado. Although Masakado sounds like a title, it is indeed his name. Taira is the same surname as Minamoto."

"This Taira no Masakado is really sensible! He even got the format of his name right. It's really heartwarming. It's a pity that such a good name was given to such a stubborn person. However, I still like him. He has a strong character." The censor in charge of recording sighed, "This person has some loyalty and righteousness in his heart. He is actually a virtuous person."

"Indeed, there are some." Shangluo took the imperial edict and wrote on Phaethon's back, "If he wasn't so stubborn, maybe we could have more conversations later - but, after all, he is a 1000-year-old vengeful spirit, and the generation gap is too deep. This kind of person actually has an ancient style like the pre-Qin Dynasty."

As he spoke, he had already finished writing.

"Look, is this done?"

The leading censor took the imperial edict and looked at it - and looked at it again.
"Shangluo, the word '将' is not right, it should be '将'. You wrote '门' as '门'. Why do you write like a high school student? That's how kids write when they're lazy while taking notes."

"What a coincidence! This is a genuine high school student." Phaethon stood up and stretched his muscles.

"This handwriting is really..." Everyone looked at each other, "It's really fashionable, very stylish, and full of the spirit of young people."

"But you still have some basic calligraphy skills!" Someone suddenly emphasized, "Such a youthful font is written in a vigorous and powerful way. Shangluo, you have a lot of personality."

These people said overtly or covertly that his handwriting was like that of a spirited young man. Shangluo didn't know whether they were being sarcastic or trying to make up for him.

“So, there’s nothing wrong with writing it this way, right?”

"No problem, of course no problem. Whether the test paper is written correctly depends on the examiner. But whether the imperial edict is written correctly depends on you. Anyway, if it is written wrong, it is just a homophone - so, you just stamp it again and it will be completely effective. Yes, just change it like this. This is the process of the imperial edict."

"Does it not need to be sent to Fengtian Hall for discussion?"

"No. This is not an internal affair, so it has nothing to do with the six ministries. It is the business of the Nine Ministers, and the Nine Ministers do not hold meetings. They only listen to the emperor. If the emperor authorizes it, then it is done. Now, Taira no Masakado is the king of Japan, in the form of a sword."

Before he finished speaking, Shangluo's phone rang. It was a familiar number.

"Hey, Brother? Are you out of retreat?"

"Almost. There's still some time. I'm taking a bath." "Bath? What bath?"

"Hey, stay out of the alchemy business and don't ask too many questions. I called because I noticed a change in the throne of Japan. Hmm? Wait, what is that in your hand?"

When Zhu Xianxin saw the knife, he immediately understood:

"Genius! Genius! Why didn't I think of that! Shangluo, you are such a genius! You made the Japanese monarch into a knife, how convenient! I want to stuff the Korean monarch into the jar too! No matter if he is obedient or not, it is safest to seal him up."

Although the King of Joseon had done a lot of things for Zhu Xianxun before, when he thought of such a simple and convenient method, Zhu Xianxun couldn't help but think about it.

"I don't know if he sneezed right now. Is this really not a problem?"

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether he exists or not. North Korea has entered a system of tutelage. He himself has no control over North Korean politics. Even the ancestral temple is worshipped remotely. It would be great if they could be packed up and put in order."

Zhu Xianxun's words were full of longing, as if he was hoping that the trees at the door would grow neatly.

"By the way, Shangluo, do you need any help over there? I'll be there soon."

"So, Senior Brother, your retreat is over? Have you advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

"Just a little bit more, yes. But I already know where the joints are. Sitting there will be no help. My way of alchemy requires practicing it myself."

"Oh" Shangluo nodded - although he didn't actually understand, he understood that Zhu Xianxin's condition seemed to have changed.

His retreat did not solve the problem, but he found a way to solve it.

"Then, I will finish it as soon as possible. I have counted Xu Fu's elixirs, but I don't know the effects yet. Once I use this 'treasure sword' to cut off the ground veins that Xu Fu relies on to cast spells, I will be able to break the formations in Qianye and Kumano."

"You are very good. It seems that you don't need my help. Anyway, you can keep the sword seal for now. Now that you have it, you can return it to me in person when you see me again. Before I return to Yujing, everything will be up to you."

"Ah, this. Don't you even need to file a report?"

"Of course not. The Emperor can't do anything anyway."

"Uh, indeed."

"Well, see you later. I just realized a lot of things, and I have to write them down for myself."

"Oh, see you later." Shangluo was about to say goodbye to Zhu Xianxun, but Zhu Xianxun suddenly said:

"Wait a minute, Shangluo. I'm actually worried about something - I heard that Master Sa and Master Qiu also went to your place?"

"Yes, they also taught me the sword, although they didn't succeed."

"I wonder what those old men are doing. Although they are always right, I never know where they are going. Anyway, you should be careful. Don't beware of demons. Sometimes, the old men are the ones who cause the most trouble."
