Yulong (雨龙, Yǔlóng) is the sword of Yushi Huang and also the sacred guardian sword of the kingdom of Yushi, wielded by all its rulers in history.[1]
Description[]
It was originally a sword passed along the rulers of the Yushi kingdom through the generations. After it has been forged into a spiritual device, it possessed the power to paralyze the people of Yushi. If Yushi Huang carries the sword and gives a command, as long as the person was born in Yushi kingdom, they would be forced to obey.[1]
History[]
When Yushi Huang took on the title of the queen of Yushi, she took the sword with her. She then used Yulong to slit her throat in front of the palace gates to fulfill Xuli's conditions and to save the people of Yushi. After Yushi Huang ascended, she forged it into a spiritual weapon and has carried it with her ever since.[1]
