Shao Xi did not dare to argue with Old Wu anymore. He put his hands on the lower edge of the stone slab as Old Wu said, and used his internal strength to lift the stone slab bit by bit until it was completely overturned.
Where the stone slab was originally placed, a short tree stump was exposed on the ground, so short that it was almost level with the ground. Perhaps the house in Jingci'an had been abandoned for many years after the fire, which caused the huge stone slab to fall on the ground. Here, it also happens to cover the place where the willow trees originally grew.
What Shao Xi was wondering about was a big willow tree growing next to the house. Didn't the nuns at Jingci Nunnery ever think of getting rid of it?
Old Wu didn't care so much. He walked up quickly to look at the tree stump that had been pressed down for who knows how many years, and then began to observe the soil next to the tree stump.
Because it had been covered with stone slabs for who knows how long, the tree stump was already rotten, and even the soil next to it looked a lot softer because it had not been exposed to sunlight all year round and was eroded by rain.
Old Wu scraped the soil next to the tree stump with his hands, and finally found a place where the soil was softer than other places, so he looked up at Shao Xi.
Shao Xi understood the idea and ran to the nearby area to find some tiles and bricks. The two used these tiles and bricks as digging tools and began to dig in the softest part of the soil.
Since these tiles have been abandoned for many years, many of them have become brittle and broken after just a few digs. The two people didn't care so much, almost half using broken tiles and half using their hands, and finally Dig up that dirt.
Until Lao Wu felt his fingers touch something hard, 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 of the wooden box have also become somewhat rotten. Fortunately, the wood of the wooden box is hard, otherwise it would have all rotted away after more than ten years.
The soil around the wooden box was dug deeper, and finally Old Wu carefully took the wooden box out of the pit and placed it on the ground.
Shao Xi looked at the dilapidated wooden box in front of him, feeling a little excited and worried at the same time. After being buried in the soil for so many years, the wooden box had decayed to such an extent. He didn't know what would become of the things in the box. Woolen cloth?
Old Wu groped around the wooden box and finally found the rusty, almost rotten buckle. It took a little effort to open the wooden box.
There was only a long cloth bag wrapped in silk placed in the wooden box. Old Wu gently opened the cloth bag and saw three packages, two long and one long, wrapped in oilcloth. It was wrapped very carefully.
Old Wu looked up at Shao Xi, and Shao Xi also looked at Old Wu. Although neither of them spoke, they already knew that the box contained exactly what Old Wu had guessed.
There must be two swords in the two long cloth bags. Needless to say, the square cloth bag must be the swordsmanship secret book "Snow Chasing Frost".
Old Wu reached out 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 another layer of white cloth wrapped inside.
Old Wu curled his lips and smiled. If it were not an extremely precious and important thing, no one would wrap it up in three layers and store it in three layers. The more tightly and carefully it is wrapped, the more precious it becomes.
So he quickly opened the white cloth, finally revealing what was inside. When the white cloth was opened, a blast of cold air hit their faces. The biting chill made the air around the two of them seem to condense.
I saw that it was a light blue long sword. From the scabbard to the hilt, it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. It looked like a piece of metal just taken out of the freezer. The water vapor condensed in the air and quickly condensed. Like frost.
Old Wu stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and suddenly felt a chill. He gently wiped the hilt and scabbard with his hands a few times, but found that the frost covered on them could not be wiped off at all.
They were not condensed frost flowers at all, but formed naturally due to the bone-chilling chill on the sword, as if they had been carved on it.
The two of them looked at the sword in front of them and couldn't help but secretly marvel. They didn't expect that there was such a strange magical weapon in this world.
Old Wu looked at Shao Xi, raised his hand and handed the sword to Shao Xi. He said sincerely: "These are the things your mother left for you. The only person who is most qualified to check them is you. Come and appreciate this sword, right?" Shao Xi did not speak, and reached out to take the sword. , feeling the cold feeling on the scabbard and hilt that penetrated the finger bones, he gently pulled the sword out of the scabbard slowly.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, it was as if the entire backyard of Jingci'an had entered the cold winter ahead of schedule, and it seemed as if the surrounding air had solidified.
There were masses of cold air condensing around the sword, which was also light blue, and the sword was also covered with a thin layer of frost.
Shao Xi gently stroked the sword with his fingers, and the frost flowers also adhered to the sword like the feather marks on the green feather sword.
The entire sword was wrapped in cold air and attached to frost flowers. Within a few dozen steps around the body of the sword holder, it felt like walking into a land of frost. It was really breathtaking and surprising.
"What a sword! What a rare and good sword! This sword has its own chill. If you fight against the person holding this sword, you will be frightened by the chill before you even take action. It is really a peerless magic weapon!" Old Wu looked at it Shao Xi held the sword in his hand and said thoughtfully: "If my guess is correct, old man, this sword should be the frost sword used by your aunt.
"Now that I see this sword, I understand that there was a legend in the martial arts that your aunt was cold and aloof, rarely interacting with others. She always had an expressionless face during battles, and her sword moves were sharp and merciless, just like a frost fairy. The original words were not true. There is no falsehood, the sword is just like the person he is." Shao Xi also felt a little curious after hearing this.
"I didn't expect that my aunt is such an aloof person. But when you told me about my mother before, she seemed to be a gentle person who values love and justice. Why do the two sisters have such different temperaments? How different?" Old Wu couldn't help but sigh, as if with some regret, 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 temperament was not like this at first, but she suddenly became like this for some reason. What happened that year? What is the reason? I'm afraid few people know." Shao Xi saw that Old Wu couldn't explain clearly, so he No further questions were asked. After all, this was a matter of the previous generation, and given Old Wu’s level of contact in the world, it would 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. 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 piece of cloth and rewrapped the Frost Sword, tied the hemp rope again, put it aside temporarily, and looked up at Mu again. There is another long cloth bag in the box.
Old Wu understood what Shao Xi meant, so he also opened another long cloth bag. The cloth bag had just been opened, and the chill that the Frost Sword had brought to the two of them seemed to have returned.
It's just that this chill is different from the previous one from the Frost Sword. It's not as bone-piercing as the chill from the Frost Sword. Instead, it gives people a slightly cool feeling, and it doesn't make people shiver from the cold. Goosebumps.
Not only is this slight chill not breathtaking, but it makes people feel very comfortable, as if there is a faint chill hanging around the body, slightly cold and cool, soft and faint.
Looking at the sword in the cloth bag, Shao Xi and Lao Wu were stunned for a moment.
After opening the cloth bag, the exposed scabbard and hilt seemed to have thin snowflakes floating around the sword body.
These tiny snowflakes seemed to be attracted by the sword itself and would not float elsewhere. They just kept fluttering around the sword, as if the sword itself was the source of the flying snow.
The entire sword is as pure and flawless as fresh snow, and looks extremely elegant. Old Wu opened his mouth wide in surprise and did not close it for a long time. He slowly held the sword in front of Shao Xi with both hands.
Shao Xi also took it with both hands. Looking carefully, not only were there thin flying snow floating around the sword body, but there were also faint traces of snowflakes on the scabbard.
Slowly pull out the sword from the scabbard. The sword body is as white as the scabbard. There is also fine snow flying around the sword body. When the sword body is pulled out from the scabbard, the fine snow seems to be falling from the scabbard. The swords flew out together.
After the whole sword was pulled out from the scabbard, the two of them were surprised to find that there was flying snow within dozens of steps around them, just as they had been covered by the coldness of the Frost Sword before, as if something had fallen within this area. Early winter.
Looking at the snowflakes flying around his body, Shao Xi couldn't believe that all this was brought about by a sword.
Only then did Shao Xi understand that after the two swords were unsheathed, they would naturally form a natural realm of sword intent within dozens of steps around the body. As long as the opponent broke into this realm of sword intent, it was equivalent to intruding on his own. Exceeding the sure-kill range of the sword energy attack.
This means that if the opponent cannot form a crushing force in the realm of martial arts, there will be no chance of close combat with him.
This is like a super air shield with powerful lethality. Not only does this air shield not be activated by your own luck, it is formed by the weapon itself. Unlike the air shield, which can only passively defend, it will cause damage as long as it enters this range. Effect.
This kind of weapon simply has its own attack attribute. In modern terms, the weapon itself already has a buff bonus.
There is no doubt that this sword is the Yingxue sword used by Baili Yingxue back then. Shao Xi never dreamed that the weapons used by Baili Yingxue and Baili Ningshuang were so extraordinary and unique. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the supreme treasures in the world's martial arts.
Unexpectedly, I am so lucky today that I can have both swords for myself!
