The adviser's eyes flickered as he looked at the Money Sword. "This sword can suppress evil ghosts. Could it be kept by your side at all times like an Earth God statue, protecting you from harm by that evil ghost?"
Jiang Hao considered it briefly and nodded. "It should work even better than an Earth God statue. Especially since that evil ghost has already been injured by my magic sword; next time, it will surely keep its distance."
The adviser was overjoyed. Several thoughts flashed through his mind before he bade Jiang Hao farewell and left. Watching him hurry toward the inner residence, Jiang Hao knew he had gone to report to the magistrate. He turned to look at the Money Sword and smiled faintly.
Money Swords had not yet appeared in this world. They truly emerged during the Qing dynasty. Before that, Daoist magic swords were mainly Peachwood Swords, crafted from century-old peach wood, with the finest being century-old Lightning-struck Peach Wood.
But century-old peach wood was not so easy to find. By the Qing dynasty, it was almost impossible to come across. Magic Artifacts became increasingly rare, and with no other choice, someone eventually invented the Money Sword, borrowing the gathered aura energy of coins. A Five Emperors Coins Money Sword was far inferior to a true Magic Artifact.
Five Emperors Coins Money Swords were further divided into Greater Five Emperors and Lesser Five Emperors versions.
In the real world, the Lesser Five Emperors referred to the Qing emperors Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing. The Greater Five Emperors referred to the five dynasties of Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming. Strictly speaking, they were the copper coins issued and used during the reigns of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Great Ancestor
