Chapter 444: Snow Reflection Frost Sword
Shao Xi didn't dare to raise the bar with Lao Wu again, and put his hands on the lower edge of the slate according to what Lao Wu said, and used internal force to lift the slate little by little, until the slate was completely overturned.
In the place where the stone slab was originally placed, a low stump was exposed on the ground, so low that it was almost level with the ground, perhaps because the house of Jingcian had been abandoned for many years after the fire, which caused the huge stone slab to fall here, and it also happened to cover the place where the willow tree had grown.
Shao Xi wondered if a big willow tree grew next to the house, didn't the nuns in Jingci Nunnery think about disposing of it back then?
Old Wu didn't care so much, he walked forward and looked at the stump that had been pressed for I don't know how many years, and then began to observe the soil next to the stump.
Because it had been covered with stone slabs for an unknown amount of time, the stump had rotted, and even the soil next to it had been eroded by rain because of the lack of sunlight all year round, and it looked much softer.
Lao Wu picked up the soil next to the stump with his hands, and finally found that one place was softer than the others, so he looked up at Shao Xi.
Shao Xi comprehended, ran to the neighborhood to find a few tiles and bricks, and the two of them used these tiles and bricks as excavation tools and began to dig in the softest place of the soil.
Since these tiles had been discarded for many years, many of them had become so brittle that they all broke off after a few diggings, and the two of them didn't care so much, almost half with broken tiles and half with their hands, and finally dug up the dirt.
It wasn't until Lao Wu felt his fingers touch some kind of hard object that the two of them dug in the direction of the hard object for a while, and finally the long wooden box was finally revealed.
However, after so many years of corrosion under the soil, the corners and corners of the wooden box have also become a little rotten, but fortunately, the wood of the wooden box is hard, otherwise it should have all rotted after more than ten years.
The soil around the wooden box was dug down a little deeper, and finally Lao Wu carefully took the wooden box out of the soil pit and placed it on the ground.
Shao Xi looked at the tattered wooden box in front of him, and was both a little excited and a little worried in his heart, after being buried in the soil for so many years, the wooden box had decayed to such an extent, I don't know what will happen to the things in the box?
Lao Wu felt around the wooden box, and finally found the rusty, almost rotten buckle, and it took a little effort to open the wooden box.
I saw a long cloth bag wrapped in silk in the wooden box, Lao Wu gently opened the cloth bag, and saw that there were two long ones inside, three packages wrapped in oilcloth, which showed that it was wrapped quite carefully when it was buried.
Lao Wu looked up at Shao Xi, Shao Xi also looked at Lao Wu, although neither of them spoke, but they knew very well in their hearts that this box contained the few things that Lao Wu had guessed at the beginning.
There must be two swords in the two long cloth bags, and the square cloth bag must be the "Snow Chasing Frost" swordsmanship cheats needless to say.
Lao Wu stretched out his hand and took out one of the long cloth bags, untied the hemp rope tied to it, and opened the oilcloth on it, only to see that there was another layer of wrapped white cloth inside.
Lao Wu pouted and smiled, if it were not an extremely precious and important thing, no one would be wrapped in three layers and three layers outside the outer layer, the more tightly and carefully wrapped, the more it proves the preciousness of the things inside.
So he quickly opened the white cloth skin, and finally revealed the contents inside. When the white cloth was opened, a chill hit the face, and the biting chill made the air around the two of them seem to condense.
I saw that it was a pale cyan long sword, from the scabbard to the hilt, it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and it looked like a piece of metal that had just been taken out of the freezer condensed the water vapor in the air and quickly frosted.
Lao Wu stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and suddenly felt a chill, and gently wiped it on the hilt and scabbard with his hand a few times, but found that the frost flower covered on it could not be wiped off at all.
It wasn't a condensed frost flower at all, but a natural formation from the chill on the sword, as if it had been carved into it.
The two of them looked at the sword in front of them, and couldn't help but secretly marvel, they couldn't imagine that there were such strange divine weapons in this world.
Lao Wu looked at Shao Xi, raised his hand and handed the sword to Shao Xi. He said earnestly: "These are all things left to you by your mother, and you are the only one who is most qualified to see it, how about you appreciate this sword?" Shao Xi didn't speak, and after reaching out to take the sword, he felt the cold feeling of the scabbard and the hilt piercing into the fingerbones, and gently pulled the sword out of the scabbard slowly.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, it was as if the entire backyard of Jingcian had entered the cold winter in advance, as if the air around it had already frozen.
The same pale cyan sword body was surrounded by clouds of cold air, and the sword body was also covered with a thin layer of frost flowers.
Shao Xi gently stroked the sword body with his fingers, and the frost flower also attached to the sword body like the feather marks on the emerald feather sword.
The entire sword was wrapped in cold air and attached to frost flowers, and within a radius of dozens of steps around the sword-wielding person's body, it was as if he had walked into a land of frost, which was really breathtaking and amazing.
"Good sword! What a rare sword! This sword has its own chill, and when you fight against the person holding this sword, you have been intimidated by this chill before you can do it, it is really a peerless divine weapon! Lao Wu looked at the sword in Shao Xi's hand, and said thoughtfully: "If the old man, I guessed correctly, this sword should be the frost sword used by your aunt."
"Now when I see this sword, I understand that the legend in the martial arts back then that your aunt had a cold and arrogant temperament, rarely interacted with people, and was always expressionless when fighting, with sharp sword moves and no mercy, just like a frost fairy, the original words were not false, and it was really a sword like a person." Shao Xi also felt a little curious when he heard this.
"I didn't expect my aunt to be such a lonely and arrogant person, but when I heard you tell me about my mother before, she seems to be a gentle and righteous person, why are there such a huge difference in the temperaments of the two sisters?" Lao Wu couldn't help but sigh, as if he felt a little regretful, and said slowly: "Although I have never met your aunt, there are many legends about your mother and her in the martial arts.
"It is rumored that your aunt's original temperament was not like this, but then she suddenly became like this for some reason, what happened back then? What is the reason for this? I'm afraid few people know about it. Shao Xi saw that Lao Wu couldn't speak clearly, so he didn't ask any more, after all, this is a matter of the previous generation, and with the level that Lao Wu came into contact with in the rivers and lakes, it should be difficult to know what happened to Baili Yingxue and Baili Ningshuang back then.
So it's not surprising that Lao Wu doesn't know much about these things, and it seems that those things back then can only be explored slowly by himself in the future.
After putting the Frost Sword back into its scabbard, Shao Xi took the white cloth and rewrapped the Frost Sword, retied the hemp rope, put it aside for the time being, and raised his eyes to look at the other long cloth bag in the wooden box.
Lao Wu understood Shao Xi's meaning, so he opened another long cloth bag, the cloth bag had just been opened, and the chill brought to the two by the frost sword before seemed to have returned.
It's just that this chill is different from the previous Frost Sword, it is not as piercing as the chill of the Frost Sword, but it gives people a slightly cool feeling, and it does not make people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
This slight chill not only does not feel intimidating, but makes people feel very comfortable, as if there is a faint chill around the body, slightly cold and cool, soft and slightly cold.
Looking at the sword in the cloth bag again, Shao Xi and Lao Wu were stunned for a moment.
After the cloth bag was opened, there seemed to be thin snowflakes floating around the sword body on the exposed scabbard and hilt.
These tiny snowflakes seem to be attracted by the sword itself, and do not float anywhere else, but just flutter around the blade, as if the sword itself is the source of the snow.
The whole sword is white and flawless, like fresh snow, and looks extremely elegant. Lao Wu opened his mouth wide in surprise, didn't close it for a long time, and slowly held the sword in front of Shao Xi with both hands.
Shao Xi also took it with both hands, and when he looked closely, not only was there a thin flying snow floating around the sword body, but there were also faint traces of snowflakes on the scabbard.
Slowly pulling the sword out of the scabbard, the sword body is as white as the scabbard, and there is also fine snow flying around the sword body, and when the sword body is pulled out of the scabbard, the fine snow seems to fly out of the scabbard with the sword body.
When the entire sword was drawn from its scabbard, the two of them were surprised to find that within a radius of dozens of paces around them, there was actually snow fluttering as if it had been early winter within this area, as if it had entered early winter.
Looking at the snowflakes flying around his body, Shao Xi couldn't believe that all this was brought by a sword.
At this time, Shao Xi realized that after the two swords were unsheathed, they would naturally form a natural sword intent realm within dozens of steps around the body, and as long as the opponent broke into this sword intent realm, it was equivalent to breaking into the killing range of the sword qi.
This means that if the opponent is unable to form a crushing momentum in the martial arts realm, there will be no chance of close combat with him.
This is like a super air shield with powerful lethality, and this air shield not only does not need to be urged by its own luck, it is formed by the weapon itself, and it is not like an air shield that can only be passively defended, as long as it enters this range, it will have a lethal effect.
This weapon simply comes with its own attack attribute, and in modern terms, the weapon itself already has a buff bonus.
There is no doubt that this sword is the same Yingxue sword used by Baili Yingxue back then. Shao Xi never dreamed that the weapons used by Baili Yingxue and Baili Condensing Frost back then were so extraordinary and different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the supreme treasure in the world's martial arts.
I didn't expect to be lucky enough to have both swords for myself today!
