Chapter 41: The Second Assassination
Back at the villa, Xiao Yuebo couldn't wait to go back to the room to look through the ancient books of the Dragon Body Method he had just gotten.
Since Xiao Yuebo is the first time to come into contact with the secret books of the exercises, he will inevitably encounter some difficulties, especially there will be some obscure words in the ancient books, so he agreed with Shangguan Celadon that he will read through one side alone tonight, list all the problems, and discuss them with Shangguan Celadon tomorrow.
The speed of time in the first floor of the nine-story space tower is one-tenth of that of the real world, but Xiao Yuebo can't bring the ancient books into the nine-story space tower through consciousness, in order to maximize the use of time, Xiao Yuebo has to recite a chapter, enter the nine-story space tower to study, and then return to the real world to recite a chapter, and then enter the nine-story space tower to study.
After a night, Xiao Yuebo also gained more than six times the study time, and in the early morning, Xiao Yuebo thought that he had basically understood the theory of the dragon body method, and then he only needed to continue to practice and accumulate to be able to learn something.
Coming to the door of Shangguan Celadon Bedroom, Xiao Yuebo knocked lightly.
Shangguan Celadon opened the door with sleepy eyes, wearing a translucent silk pajamas, and his good figure could be seen at a glance, Xiao Yuebo only glanced at it, and felt that his blood was surging.
"Ahem, I'll wait for you in the living room. Xiao Yuebo coughed dryly, and hurriedly walked to the living room after speaking.
After a while, Shangguan Celadon changed into a yoga suit and came to the living room, although the yoga clothes are also very tight, which can outline the body curves to the fullest, but because of the lack of the sultry style of silk pajamas, Xiao Yue Boshang can face it calmly.
"How's it going, is there anything you don't understand?" Shangguan Celadon asked.
Xiao Yuebo put the ancient book on the table and said, "I probably understand it, why don't I rehearse it for you?"
Shangguan Celadon was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "It's useless for you to practice, I haven't read the ancient books yet, how can I know if you practiced correctly." ”
Xiao Yuebo was right to think about it, so he said: "Then look, I'll cook." ”
By the time the steaming porridge was served, it was an hour later.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuebo saw Shangguan Celadon holding the book, frowning slightly, as if he had encountered some problem, so he asked.
I don't really understand the meaning of this sentence. Shangguan Celadon came to Xiao Yuebo and pointed to a line of words on the book and said.
Xiao Yuebo looked at Shangguan Celadon fingers, smiled, and began to patiently explain the meaning to Shangguan Celadon to Shangguan Celadon .
Listening to Xiao Yuebo's explanation, Shangguan Celadon nodded slightly, and after the explanation, Shangguan Celadon looked at Xiao Yuebo incredulously, and thought in frustration: "I have been learning ancient books since I was a child, but when I encounter difficult points, I need him to explain to me, I really don't know if he is too smart, or I am too stupid." ”
"Ding Dong" "Ding Dong" ......
The doorbell rang, and after Xiao Yuebo opened the door, he saw a woman standing at the door wearing a property uniform, which he had never seen before.
"Are you Mr. Xiao? Hello, I am your exclusive property manager, my name is Li Ting. ”
Xiao Yuebo smiled politely and asked, "I came here early in the morning, didn't I come to urge the property fee?" The other party came to the door early in the morning, and Xiao Yuebo could only think of this reason.
Li Ting was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao is really humorous, I came today to send you an invitation." Since you are usually busy with work, I am afraid that you will not be at home during working hours, so I came to disturb you early in the morning, please forgive me. After speaking, he handed a delicate envelope to Xiao Yuebo.
took the envelope and opened it, inside was a beautiful folding card, Xiao Yuebo unfolded the card, and slowly read: "Tiance Villa Owners Association." ”
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, in order to facilitate mutual understanding and promote harmony between neighbors, we will hold an owners' gathering every once in a while, and this gathering will be scheduled for this Saturday night, at the Tiance Terrace in the back mountain. Li Ting explained in detail with a professional smile on her face.
Xiao Yuebo smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, if I have time, I will definitely go." ”
After Li Ting thanked her repeatedly, she turned around and left.
......
"How is it? Did he accept the invitation?" Li Ting had just walked out of the courtyard gate of Xiao Yuebo's villa, and Hu Feiyang, who was waiting at the door, asked impatiently.
Li Ting replied: "Mr. Xiao said that if he has time, he will definitely participate." ”
Hu Feiyang nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." ”
Li Ting couldn't help but turn her head to look at the villa when she heard this, and wondered in her heart: "What is the origin of this Mr. Xiao?
......
In the morning, Xiao Yuebo and Shangguan Celadon were both at home to study and discuss the dragon body method, and both of them gained a lot.
Xiao Yuebo's previous part of the understanding was wrong, and it has been corrected by Shangguan Celadon. Shangguan Celadon compared the body method he had learned before with the dragon body method, which further enhanced his understanding of the subtlety of the body method and the cognition of its application.
"Your appointment with Shen Li is this Friday, right?" Shangguan Celadon suddenly remembered this and asked casually.
Xiao Yuebo thought for a while and said, "Well, it's Friday, if you don't mention it, I forgot it." ”
"With your current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to win against him. Shangguan Celadon speculated.
Xiao Yuebo smiled casually: "Have so much confidence in me? Shen Li is a Qi cultivator, I think even if he wins, he won't win easily." ”
Shangguan Celadon said disapprovingly: "He, he is not a Qi cultivator, I tried it the last time I fought with him, and his internal Qi has not reached the point of being released." A true Qi cultivator should use internal Qi to the point of releasing it as he wishes, as the saying goes, hurting the enemy with Qi and controlling things with Qi, both can be used to cultivate Qi. ”
"Hurt the enemy with anger, and use it with its treasures. Xiao Yuebo read in his mouth, and suddenly remembered that Shangguan celadon had been popping out before, so he smashed the glass bottle containing milk, and asked curiously: "Are you a qi cultivator now?"
When Shangguan Celadon heard this, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he said, "Of course, I am a dignified Qi cultivator, second stage." ”
"Second stage?" Xiao Yuebo wondered.
"That's right, just like your worldly taekwondo, isn't there also a division? Qi cultivators are also segmented, one is considered an entry, and the second is considered a master. Shangguan Celadon explained.
Xiao Yuebo understood a little, but he still had a question in his heart, and asked again: "The rank of taekwondo is to be examined, do qi cultivators also have to take the exam?"
Shangguan Celadon smiled and said, "Don't be so troublesome, you can measure it yourself." Besides, Qi cultivators are not like taekwondo fighters, who show off their rank everywhere when they improve their rank, and generally speaking, everyone will keep their rank secret, and only when they are forced to do so will they show their true strength. ”
"How do you measure it yourself?"
"Just feel it yourself, and the internal qi can be divided into several sections. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that. ”
Xiao Yuebo's expression was a little dazed, and he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. It's like a tourist who goes to visit some world-famous monuments, thinking that he can see a magnificent scene, but when he looks at the place, he realizes that it is not what he imagined it to be.
"Although the test is simple, it is very difficult to improve the rank, as far as I know so far, the highest rank is only seven ranks, and there may be hidden rank masters, but according to my guess, the highest should not exceed nine ranks, because I heard Grandpa Qi mention it once, above the nine ranks, it is a new level that has only been heard in legends. Shangguan Celadon saw Xiao Yuebo's lost appearance, and guessed Xiao Yuebo's thoughts in his heart, so he reminded.
"What level is that?" Xiao Yuebo's curiosity was hooked again.
Shangguan Celadon sighed and said, "I also want to know, but when I asked Grandpa Qi, he didn't say. ”
Xiao Yuebo smiled disappointedly, and after a while, he said: "When it is time to know, someone will definitely tell us, now, let's cultivate steadily." ”
'The autumn wind is still bleak, do you still love me......' a mobile phone ringtone.
Xiao Yuebo looked at it, showing that it was Li Mengxi.
"Hey, Li ......" Xiao Yuebo picked up the phone, and just said two words, he was interrupted by the other party's hurried words.
"Brother Yuebo, something is wrong, can you come to my house?" On the other end of the phone, Li Mengxi said with a crying voice.
"What's wrong?" you say slowly. Xiao Yuebo hurriedly asked.
"Grandpa was assassinated again, this time the injury is very serious, can you come here?"
"Huh, you say the location...... Well, okay, okay...... I made a note of it, you wait for me. ”
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Yuebo immediately said to Shangguan Celadon : "Something happened to President Li, let's go and see." ”
.......
An hour later, the Municipal People's Hospital, the intensive care ward.
Hu Shanhu stood at the door, with a look of resentment and self-blame. Seeing Xiao Yuebo, he nodded his head heavily, as a greeting, and then opened the door of the ward and motioned for Xiao Yuebo to enter.
"How is President Li?" Xiao Yuebo hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the door.
Li Mengxi stood up, her eyes were teary, and said, "The doctor said it was serious. After speaking, he pointed to Li Bufan, who was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen tube and was still in a coma.
Looking at Li Bufan's pale face, looking at the various instruments in the ward, Xiao Yuebo felt a sense of grief in his heart, although he had not been friends with President Li for a long time, but Chairman Li was very supportive of him, some time ago, in order to help him expand his contacts, he also specially organized a dinner party to introduce the chairman of the Mandate of Heaven Group and Fenglin Group to him.
Shangguan Celadon was also very uncomfortable in his heart, silently walked in front of Li Mengxi, took Li Mengxi's hand and patted it a few times to show comfort, Li Mengxi's eyes were red, and he hugged Shangguan Celadon all of a sudden, and cried bitterly.
Xiao Yuebo walked to the hospital bed, checked the location of Li Bufan's injury, looked at the data of various instruments, and then picked up the medical records and looked through them.
"I was stabbed in the lower abdomen with a sharp blade, and the wound was three centimeters long and eight centimeters deep. The intestine is badly damaged, and some of them show signs of breaking. The suture surgery was successful, but the patient is still at high risk due to his advanced age and excessive blood loss. ”
"When did it happen?" Xiao Yuebo put down the medical record, walked up to Li Mengxi, patted Li Mengxi's back gently, and asked.
Li Mengxi stopped the pain, turned his head, and sobbed: "Two hours ago, I went to the mall with my grandfather, and while I was shopping, suddenly a person rushed towards us, Brother Shanhu hurriedly blocked the person and asked me to go quickly with my grandfather, who knew that as soon as my grandfather turned around, he was directly stabbed by another person, Brother Shanhu hurriedly came to the rescue, and the man quickly pulled out the knife when he saw this, turned his head and ran, but his grandfather had fallen in a pool of blood. Shanhu and I hurriedly sent my grandfather to the hospital, and I called you only after he entered the operating room. ”
