Chapter 448: Mandated by Heaven
Xia Mo obtained the token of the First Emperor and was able to command the Qin army. The turmoil and crisis in the underground palace came to an end.

The super large cup King Slayer Xia Mo led her large and medium cup teammates back to the ground. Before leaving, she closed the coffin lid again.

The remains of the First Emperor no longer exist, and in order to prevent him from being resurrected again, he asked Xia Mo to destroy the cursed body. Since the dead are the greatest, Xia Mo did so.

Xia Mo picked up a few beads that had fallen on the ground and threw them into the coffin as a cenotaph.

If archaeologists discover this coffin in the future and fail to find the body of the First Emperor after opening it, it may become a new unsolved mystery of the world.

This has nothing to do with Xia Mo... maybe it does, but she doesn't say it, causing these professors to stay up late and lose their hair and still not be able to publish their papers, hehe.

I cannot take these loyal soldiers with me, and archaeologists cannot excavate here for a year or two, so I will just keep them here for the time being.

Xia Mo thought.

Back on the ground, the vibration of the imperial mausoleum attracted the attention of many scholars and leaders. The elder Bai Xiaotian stepped forward to deal with this. Xia Mo and others returned to Baijia Village to rest first and told the patriarch the good news.

Baijia Village.

Bai Jingxuan was very pleased to learn the general process from Bai Muyang in a brief and concise manner.

Xia Mo was not seriously injured in this battle and her wounds healed on the way back. Bai Muyang and several others were more seriously injured. Qingyi, the medical master of Baijia Village, went home and gave Bai Muyang and Bai Yinxiang some extremely effective remedies. The rest was left to the body's immunity.

Xia Mo noticed that there was golden liquid flowing under Qing Yi's damaged skin. Does golden blood exist? In addition to Qing Yi's age and experience, Xia Mo had some guesses.

It turned out to be a machine girl.

This AI's intelligence level is probably due to the creation of a master-level alchemist, who must be proficient in the two fields of life creation and puppet mechanism.

Xia Moyan said she was tired and went back to the pavilion alone to rest. In fact, she was checking the spoils, especially before asking Baijia Village about the content of the battle with the First Emperor in the Great Wall.

Road Pavilion.

For the sake of ceremony, Xia Mo specially drew the curtains and took out a palm-sized object from her arms. It was four inches square, with five dragons on the top and eight seal characters "Received the Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper" engraved on the front.

This is just an ordinary jade seal, Xia Mo simply thinks it looks nice... Well, this is the imperial seal, no one can refuse these eight words "Mandate by Heaven, May you live long and prosper".

Fortunately, Xia Mo is a dragon, and the imperial seal is only a little bit attractive to her.

According to the records in Ming History·Records of Vehicles and Clothing·Emperor's Seal, etc., the imperial seal was made of Lantian jade as a token of "the divine right of the emperor and its legitimacy."

The last time the imperial seal was recorded in history books was during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial seal now stored in the Palace Museum has been identified as a fake.

Xia Mo touched the jade seal with her small hand, feeling the patterns of the seal characters with her fingertips, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

It turns out that the imperial seal recorded in history books was a fake from the beginning. The real seal was brought into the imperial mausoleum as a burial object and was used when the First Emperor established the underworld after his death.

The imperial seal is the most powerful proof of legitimacy for any dynasty, no matter whether it is long-lived or short-lived, no matter whether it is the aristocracy overthrowing the old aristocracy or the peasants rebelling to establish a limited country.

The Cricket Skeleton King dared to proclaim himself emperor just because he picked up the imperial seal. He believed that this was the destiny. He really deserves to be punished.

But this also indirectly illustrates the temptation and value of the imperial seal.

For Xia Mo, she cared more about the function of the imperial seal than its significance. After all... she couldn't stamp her seal on Teacher Daye's smooth jade back at night, right?
I shuddered for no apparent reason. This was blasphemy!

Therefore, Xia Mo, who had no intention of competing for the Central Plains, was not interested in the imperial seal. At most, he regarded it as the official seal of "Ark".

But Xia Mo wants to carry it with her, because it has many functions, one of which is to command the Terracotta Warriors in the underground palace. Logically, a tiger talisman should be used, but the imperial seal is here, which is equivalent to the emperor himself arriving.

The Imperial Seal: What tiger talisman? Don’t try to trick me.

In addition to controlling the Qin army, it also has a storage function, similar to a storage bag with the ability to hide the world in one's sleeve. The Taia Sword and the Mountain-Driving Whip are stored in it. Otherwise, if Xia Mo holds the sword in one hand and the whip in the other, the Bai family will definitely intervene.

Fortunately, the weather was still cold, and Xia Mo was wearing a thick coat that could hide the imperial seal. It would have been difficult if she had been wearing a short shirt in summer.

Xia Mo took out the Taia Sword and the Mountain-Driving Whip.

The Tai'a Sword, also known as Tai'a, is one of the ten famous swords in ancient China. It was forged by two great sword masters, Ou Yezi of the Yue State and Gan Jiang of the Wu State, during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The "Strategies of the Warring States" records that "the swords and halberds of the Han soldiers... Longyuan and Tai'a, all of which can cut horses and cattle on land, and hit swans and geese on water, and can cut through the enemy with ease."

The Tai'a among them is naturally the Tai'a Sword, which is a sword of majesty for the monarch. The stronger the heart of the sword wielder is, the stronger the Tai'a Sword will be.

Xia Mo held the Taia sword in her hand, feeling the wonderful feeling coming from it, as if there was an invisible and traceless sword energy in her heart, mysterious and profound. With this sword energy, Xia Mo glanced at the mirror. Her eyes in the mirror were stern, different from the coldness before, but more like an invincible domineering, which was the kingly way.

The dignity of the Dragon King is more reflected in his incomparable power. All living beings submit to him and fear him like a god. This is dignity.

The dignity of a human monarch is more of an aura. After all, they all have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Who is nobler than who?

Xia Mo has this kind of aura, which is noble.

Xia Mo moved her body as her heart moved, and she danced with her sword. The light flashed, but the furniture and sofa were not damaged. This was not only because Xia Mo did not cut it, but because her control over strength reached the pinnacle. The strength was not released outward but concentrated on one point.

The sword of Taia can only enhance Xia Mo's combat power to a limited extent. She already has the swords of Levadin and Juxi. Does she have to learn the three-sword style while biting a knife in her mouth?
However, the Taia Sword can nourish Xia Mo's character and give her a lot of insights. It can be used to gain enlightenment at ordinary times, but no one knows what she can gain.

Isn't it a good idea for Longlong to not want to be an emperor?

As for the Mountain-Driving Whip, it was powerful in a simple and unpretentious way, and had an earth-shaking momentum when it was swung. Xia Mo estimated that a few whips would be enough to knock down the third generation and break the defense of the second generation.

The Tai'a Sword, the Mountain-Driving Whip, and the Imperial Seal were all very good items for Xia Mo.

It's just that this imperial seal is good for storing things, but it's still too bulky. When carrying the seal with me, I always feel like I'm carrying a large amount of money across the street.

Xia Mo played with the jade seal and completed the process of blood recognition at the border of the Great Wall.

"It would be nice if it could turn into a bracelet or a ring." Xia Mo thought.

With this in mind, the imperial seal really came true.

The shape of the jade seal changed, turning into a reddish jade bracelet. Xia Mo looked carefully and saw that the eight seal characters on the outside were still there.

"It's amazing." Xia Mo praised it. She put the bracelet on and found it was the right size. She didn't have to worry about wearing short sleeves in summer. People who saw it would just think it was a creative jade bracelet. The eight words "Mandate by Heaven, Live Long and Prosper" were just for good luck. There were a lot of them on Taobao and Kanyidao.
