Chapter 173: The Ruthless Xie Bian
July 13th of Daqing.
Suitable for: consecration, groundbreaking, dismantling, burial, and breaking ground.
Taboo: getting married, traveling, building a stove, moving, and buying property.
On this day, large white lanterns were hung outside the doors of every household in the city of Kyoto, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing and gloomy.
Shortly after.
A group of people wearing mourning clothes, holding white banners and carrying a big red coffin in the middle came out of the palace and started walking on the street.
Today is the day of the funeral of the former crown prince of Qing Kingdom. Not only are the streets filled with civil and military officials, but even many civilians are there to see him off respectfully.
The three brothers Li Chengze, Li Chengru, and others were also in the team, moving forward with the crowd.
Today's burial mission went very smoothly. There were no accidents in the middle. We just followed the process and it was completed quickly.
Afterwards, Li Chengze followed everyone back to the palace.
Originally, Emperor Qing told Li Chengze and the other two that after the former crown prince was buried, they could go back and no longer have to go to the Eastern Palace to observe mourning.
However, Li Chengze did not return directly to the prince's mansion, but went directly back to the palace.
No matter what, he had been guarding the East Palace for three days. Now that it was over, he had to have the feast.
Especially the feast for the sworn enemy, it tastes even better.
So, when the meal started at noon, Li Chengze ate very happily and almost ate too much.
This was also the happiest meal he had had since his rebirth.
Afterwards, Li Chengze had his fill of food and drink and returned to the palace.
……
Palace, backyard.
After coming back, Li Chengze planned to take a hot bath and then have a good sleep.
However, when he was about to reach the bedroom, he heard the sound of swords ringing from the side.
Ok? ? ?
Li Chengze felt a little curious and immediately walked towards the direction of the sound.
Afterwards, Li Chengze saw a strange figure practicing sword in the yard.
This person is Xie Bian.
When he was practicing sword, his figure was like a ghost. Every few steps he took, he would leave several afterimages, and the speed of his sword became extremely fast.
Li Chengze has reached the eighth level and can even catch the long arrows shot by Yan Xiaoyi with his naked eyes.
As a result, when I saw Xie Bian swinging the sword just now, I couldn't see the sword moves clearly.
Simply unbelievable.
It seems that the effect of practicing "The Sword Manual of Exorcism" is already very obvious.
Originally, Xie Bian's martial arts was not weak, already at the ninth rank. Now with the support of swordsmanship, his strength would probably be further improved, reaching the peak of the ninth rank. There shouldn't be any problem.
If he practices long enough and becomes the number one person under the Grand Master, there shouldn't be any problem.
Sure enough, after losing something, I can concentrate more on practicing.
However, what surprised Li Chengze the most was Xie Bian's recovery ability. In just a few days, he was able to use it freely.
Just as Li Chengze was deep in thought, Xie Bian, who was practicing sword next to him, suddenly noticed someone nearby and immediately stopped what he was doing to check.
When he saw that it was Li Chengze, he immediately put away the sword in his hand and walked forward.
"Your Highness."
Xie Bian bowed to Li Chengze.
However, the voice was different from usual, becoming a little sharp.
Li Chengze came back to his senses, nodded to Xie Bian, and said:
"Yeah, I'm practicing swordplay."
"How do you feel after practicing this set of sword moves?"
Xie Bian smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's very good."
Ever since he started practicing the "Sword Manual of Exorcism", he has become more and more obsessed with it, which is completely beyond his previous expectations.
Not only can it improve the previous swordsmanship, but even its own speed has achieved a qualitative leap. Xie Bian is very confident at this moment.
As long as he doesn't encounter an opponent at the grandmaster level, he will be invincible.
It really proves that statement.
There is no woman in my heart, so I draw my sword to the God of Nature!
Of course, this is also thanks to my own foundation, which has enabled me to make such rapid progress in just a few days.
Otherwise, even if you can make yourself stronger, it won't improve that much.
Seeing Xie Bian so excited, Li Chengze's remaining worry disappeared.
He originally thought that Xie Bian would feel dissatisfied after practicing the "Sword Manual of Exorcism".
After all, no matter what, when practicing this sword technique, some things must be cut off.
For other men, this must be an indelible pain.
Now it seems that the other party is really enjoying it.
In this case, he wouldn't have to worry.
Then, Li Chengze nodded to Xie Bian and said, "As long as you are happy."
"However, you must remember that after practicing every day, you must copy a Buddhist scripture."
"Best case scenario, memorize it."
Although Xie Bian didn't know why His Highness said that, he immediately nodded and said:
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm going to go back and rest. You can practice slowly on your own."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengze left the backyard and went straight to the bedroom.
The reason why he asked Xie Bian to read Buddhist scriptures every day was to purify the evil in his heart.
After all, among all the people who practiced "The Sword Manual of Exorcism", only Monk Du Yuan was the most normal one.
The rest, like Lin Pingzhi and Yue Buqun, as well as Dongfang Bubai who practiced the "Sunflower Manual", are all a bunch of perverts.
Therefore, it is also crucial to use Buddhist scriptures to purify the hostility in your heart.
Of course, he just said it casually. Whether Xie Bian is willing to do it in the future depends on his luck.
Thinking of this, Li Chengze stretched and came to the bedroom door.
As he walked into the room, he quickly stepped back and waved to the maid not far away.
"Xiao Tao, quickly fetch some water, I want to take a bath!"
Xiao Tao, who was squatting on the ground watering the flowers, immediately turned around after hearing the sound.
When she saw Li Chengze, she immediately laughed.
"okay!"
"I'll be right away."
Li Chengze nodded and walked into the bedroom.
at the same time.
After separating from Li Chengze, Xie Bian continued to practice martial arts in the yard.
The long sword in his hand was like a long snake, flashing quickly in the air.
In just a few breaths, he had already performed hundreds of moves at an extremely fast speed.
Not far from Xie Bian, Fan Wujiu was walking towards him slowly, holding a long knife in one hand and biting a green apple in the other.
When Fan Wujiu saw Xie Bian swinging his sword, he instinctively froze for a moment.
What the hell!
This guy's swordsmanship has actually improved a lot compared to before, and it is almost invisible to the naked eye.
In the past, the two of them were evenly matched.
The opponent's current strength is estimated to be much higher than his.
It seems that the sword skills I learned before were not in vain.
