Chapter 495: A Rare Month of Leisure
In the next month, Shao Xi had nothing to do, and it was rare to be free.
In addition to going to Taihe Commercial Bank to sign a contract with Zhang Huanzhi to share the net profits during this period, he occasionally went to the East Palace to chat with Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuzhan, two brothers, about governing the country.
However, in this month, Shao Xi also got a piece of news that made him and Lao Wu feel happy, that is, Xiao Changyi finally cut Xiao Yuzhi's title, sealed his Mausoleum Palace, and escorted him into the Forbidden Palace.
Although he did not take his life immediately, this move now shows that the second prince has lost power since then, and it is conceivable what will happen in the future.
As a prince, he actually had the intention of rebelling and challenging the imperial power, and in the end, he must be quietly eliminated by Xiao Changyi.
The original princes in the court gradually disappeared and no longer showed their heads.
The next thing is not something that Shao Xi can control, he and Lao Wu can only wait for the follow-up news, as for when and in what way to make Xiao Yuzhi pay, they can only wait and see.
Now that we know what the outcome will be, there is no need to worry about it.
Recently, Lao Wu is obviously very happy, drinking wine and humming a little song in the firewood room in the backyard every day, and Ning Er doesn't know why he is so happy?
Every time I asked, he smiled and didn't answer.
After a long time, Ning'er didn't ask, anyway, grandpa was happy, and she was also happy.
Shao Xi has also been in a good mood recently, practicing the snow chasing frost sword technique alone in the backyard every day.
Since the Yingxue Sword has its own sword intent realm, as long as the sword is unsheathed, a sword intent range will be formed, so Shao Xi did not dare to use the Yingxue Sword to practice this set of sword techniques, but has been using the Liuyun Sword to practice the move of Snow Chasing Frost.
As for the exercises, Shao Xi always hides alone and secretly cultivates, but it is really because the range of artistic conception produced by this set of exercises is too large, and Shao Xi is always afraid that someone in the family who does not know will intrude into his range of exercises and be accidentally injured.
So Shao Xi ordered to go down, and no one was allowed to enter the back garden without his permission within a month, otherwise he would be severely punished.
The more he cultivated, the more Shao Xi sighed that the set of swordsmanship cultivated by Baili Yingxue and Baili Ningshuang back then was worthy of being the unique peak of swordsmanship in the martial arts.
This shot comes with a built-in area of effect, which is not possessed by all other swordsmanship.
No matter who faced this set of swordsmanship, if he couldn't break the sword intent realm first, he wouldn't be able to hurt Shao Xi, which also made Shao Xi finally understand why no one in the entire martial arts dared to easily fight with Baili Yingxue and Baili Ningshuang sisters back then.
Because it is too difficult to fight against them, unless there is a suppression of the rank, it is really difficult to win against them.
The Tianqiong Ancestor who can create such a sword technique for them must be the existence of the pinnacle of martial arts, and Shao Xi is more and more eager to see the demeanor of this Tianqiong Ancestor one day.
Shao Xi had already entered the "Qi Transformation Realm", although the cultivation of the swordsmanship of Xue Chashuang was extremely difficult, but after Shao Xi's unremitting efforts for a month, he finally achieved a small success, and it was already the first effect.
Now that Shao Xi is running the frost clearing technique, almost all the rockeries and trees in the entire back garden will be covered by the frost, and with the deepening of the exercises, those frosts have gradually condensed into ice.
Shao Xi knew that the effect of this condensation into frost was to restrict the enemy's movements, and even slow down the opponent's speed, as long as the opponent broke into the range of his condensation, he would be controlled by himself, and he would not be able to fully exert his own skills.
If it is combined with the flying snow trick carried by the snow sword itself, the artistic conception of overcoming rigidity with softness, tactfulness and elegance, and concealing murderous intentions will make the opponent bear the pain of slowly peeling skin and bones like boiling frogs in warm water.
After cultivating all the way, Shao Xi finally realized that the snow chasing frost set of swordsmanship combined with the Clear Frost Technique and the Flying Snow Technique could not only cause visible damage to the enemy, but also form a dark wound in the opponent's body.
Once injured by this set of swordsmanship, the dark wound in the body will be difficult to heal for several years, and may even endanger life, which means that as long as the other party knows that he is using snow chasing frost, both parties are already afraid of being injured by this swordsmanship before they make a move.
Just a single set of swordsmanship can form such a powerful deterrent to people in the martial arts, which can be called unprecedented.
Life is short, especially for martial arts cultivators, time is particularly precious, if once injured by the snow chasing frost set of swordsmanship, in addition to the worry of life, there are still years of inability to cultivate, which is more painful than death for a martial artist.
The interruption of several years of cultivation means that he will be surpassed by countless people, and even eventually become crushed, and the efforts of the first half of his life will be in vain.
Therefore, as a martial artist fighting with others, he would rather lose his life than live in such pain, watching himself become a waste in the eyes of others.
It seems that when Tianqiong Ancestor created this set of swordsmanship, he had already penetrated the hearts of the world's martial artists, so this set of snow chasing frost swordsmanship was not only killing people, but also punishing the heart.
If you are not 100% sure, in addition to being prepared to lose your life, you must also have the awareness to bear the ruin of your future, otherwise it is best to hide far away and not fight against this set of swordsmanship.
Fortunately, the season when Shao Xi practiced this set of swordsmanship was when the frost and snow were coming, if he practiced this set of swordsmanship in the backyard in the summer, the entire frost and snow building would be covered by frost and snow, and I was afraid that it would cause a sensation in the entire capital.
When the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it if I want to, and it will definitely attract the attention of some people.
But now that the season is just right, the entire Kyoto Beam Castle is shrouded in frost and snow, and even if it is worse in his own yard, it will not attract anyone's attention.
So in recent days, Shao Xi has often called Mei Ruoyan to his home, and the two of them practiced this set of swordsmanship together in the backyard.
Mei Ruoyan's Frost Condensation Sword, combined with the Frost Clearing Technique, has a more obvious dual effect on the surrounding environment, and it seems to be able to stand in its own right.
And Shao Xi used the Yingxue Sword to use the Frost Clearing Technique and the Flying Snow Technique together, which can produce a more perfect effect, attacking and defending, advancing and retreating in a certain way, and appearing more calm and unhurried, chic and elegant.
Now it seems that if the two join forces and combine the two swords, it is really a perfect combination, both offensive and defensive, without flaws, and it is really a perfect combination.
At present, Mei Ruoyan's martial arts realm has not improved slowly, under Shao Xi's careful guidance and her own hard work, Mei Ruoyan has now promoted herself to the realm of the peak of the four grades in this month.
However, it seems that it will become very difficult to break through again, and Shao Xi also knows that it is not easy for Mei Ruoyan to enter the country like this within a month.
But if there is no big opportunity, Mei Ruoyan's martial arts advancement will be greatly slowed down from now on, after all, martial arts cultivation is not an overnight thing, if there is no external assistance, it is not as easy to simply rely on one's own cultivation as imagined.
Just like during this period, although Wuqiu'er had been promoted to the realm of the fifth grade under the urging of Canghai Jue, it had now stopped, and it was difficult to enter the realm.
Not to mention Lao Wu, since he left Yingyue Island, he has been rotten so far, and it is only the middle of the fourth grade, plus he is congenitally deficient in his mental method, it is estimated that this life will be like this.
It seems that including myself, if I want to improve the realm of martial arts in the future, I must find a big opportunity again to have hope, otherwise I am afraid that even if I cultivate for another few decades, there will not be much improvement.
Martial arts cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, even if you know how to cultivate now, the realm of martial arts will not change much, but you must not slack off in cultivation.
Even if you can't take a step forward, at least you have to make sure that you don't regress, and before you find the next big opportunity, you must maintain your current martial arts realm through cultivation.
At this point, Shao Xi was still very conscious, and at the same time instructed Mei Ruoyan and Wu Qiu'er not to give up and continue to cultivate because of the slowdown in martial arts advancement.
Shao Xi is also secretly determined that he can't just enjoy comfort in the capital, and the real martial arts opportunity will never come to the door by himself, but he still has to rely on himself to travel far away and travel all over the world to have adventures.
In this way, it also strengthened his determination to go to the Western Regions this time.
Shao Xi is now thinking about not only himself, seeing Mei Ruoyan and Wu Qiu'er also cultivating so hard, Shao Xi feels that he should not be the slightest bit lax.
Everyone's achievements don't come in a vacuum.
Nowadays, there are more and more people around me who care about it, and there are more and more people who need to protect themselves, and all I can do is to keep improving my strength and let myself have enough ability to protect these people around me.
Shao Xi didn't want to hurt the people around him because of his incompetence, and the lesson was painful.
These lessons have formed a certain obsession in Shao Xi's heart, he does not allow anyone to hurt the people around him anymore, and he does not allow himself to be powerless to watch the people around him be hurt.
Whether it was his mother at the beginning or Ye Zikite later, he would never allow such a thing to happen to him again, the pain was more profound than the hurt himself.
Only by making yourself strong enough and having enough ability to protect the people you care about can you keep these visible happiness in front of you.
Shao Xi decided to do this, and he has always done so.
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and two days later was the day when Shao Xi and Xinjing Teahouse agreed to go to meet the people of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion.
On this day, Shao Xi was flipping through the swordsmanship cheats of "Snow Chasing Frost" in his hand in the study.
I heard Liu Fu say outside the door: "Childe, Lord Tailong of Dali Temple and Fu Biao have come back together, and they are in the front yard at this time, do you think you go to the front yard yourself or I will bring them here to see you?" ”
"They came back so soon? It's been less than a month! You go and arrange a table of wine and food, and I'll go over. ”
"Yes, Childe."
After Liu Fu retreated, Shao Xi put the swordsmanship cheats in his hand into the password wooden box.
Ever since he brought this wooden box back with him, he has used it as a safe, and everything he doesn't want to be seen in it is stored.
Because the wood of this wooden box is as strong as steel and the design of the lock is very unique, it is the best choice for safe.
After Shao Xi put away the cheats, he disrupted the slider on the lock of the wooden box, put it back in the cabinet, got up and went downstairs towards the main hall in the front yard.
It is said that going to Fengyang County, and then escorting Li Rui back from Fengyang County, even if it is fast, it will take more than a month, and the two of them actually returned to the capital in less than a month, could it be that something went wrong on the road?
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, these two people's martial arts are not bad, but they won't miss when they go to Fengyang County to mention someone, but it is indeed a bit unexpected for Shao Xi to come back so quickly.
Shouldn't Li Rui be put in a prison car? The cars and horses on this road are tired, and normally they shouldn't have arrived in Daliang City on this day.
It is said that it is impossible for the two of them to leave the prisoner cart on the road and return ahead of time alone, they both know how important Li Rui is to themselves, and they will be strictly guarded along the way, how can they be so careless?
No matter what the reason is, it's just speculation now, just ask them yourself, and you will naturally know the reason for the matter.
