Chapter 51

When Shang Xia took out a pair of willow-leaf scimitars from his cuffs, Shang Quan nearly popped his eyes.

"Sharp weapon? Or a pair?"

With great difficulty, Shang Quan pulled himself back from the brink of losing his composure, and quickly glanced around. After finding that no one noticed this place, he hurriedly dragged Shang Xia into the Shang building.

"Where did you get this pair of scimitars?"

As soon as he came to his own territory, Shang Quan asked Shang Xia about the origin of the Willow Leaf Scimitar directly, his tone was very dignified and direct.

Although Shang Xia was surprised, he still gave a rough overview of the process of fighting wits and courage with the female warrior Yan Ming.

After Shang Quan listened to Shang Xia's speech with a very focused expression, although he was obviously relieved, he did not relax in the slightest, and said: "Although there is no problem with the origin of these scimitars, the loss of a pair of sharp weapons will definitely Let you become the target that the Fengyan tribe must eliminate and quickly."

Shang Xia thought to himself, because of the mutated Swift, he might have become a thorn in the side of the Fengyan tribe.

However, there was still a look of shock on his face, and he said, "Isn't it? Isn't it just a pair of low-grade sharp weapons?"

It's not that Shang Xia is hypocritical, but that he has two sharp weapons, besides the low-grade ivory folding fan, there is also a middle-grade sharp weapon Ruanjian Yuhe.

Although Shang Xia also knew that sharp weapons were hard to come by, he really didn't think that just because of a pair of sharp weapons, a tribe would be able to target him endlessly.

On the other hand, Shang Quan said in a heartbroken tone with a face full of hatred: "You are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is! You know that a low-grade weapon, even if it is a low-grade sharp weapon, is difficult for a power as powerful as our Shang family. , mean something?"

No matter how dull Shang Xia was, he realized that he had a misunderstanding about sharp weapons, so he asked cautiously: "Does our family have very few sharp weapons?"

Rao is Shang Quan who is in charge of Tongyou Peak's family business, and has long honed his good temper, so he couldn't help but say angrily at this moment: "What do you think? The entire Shang family only has five sharp weapons in total, and among them Both are still on you alone!"

"so little?"

Shang Xia felt that Uncle Quan was lying to him.

Shang Quan sighed: "Not only are they few, but the quality is not high. Among the five sharp weapons, two are medium-grade, and the remaining three are low-grade."

When Shang Xia heard it, he immediately said, "Uncle Quan, isn't this right? My grandfather's Jiuyingzhe is a top-grade sharp weapon!"

Shang Quan said weakly: "That's not our business's property. The ownership of Jiuyingzhang is in Tongyou College, and it is your grandfather who is the deputy head of the college and the chief teacher of the Department of Education. Once your grandfather is in charge in the future I am no longer the deputy head of Tongyou Academy, but I still have to return this high-grade sharp weapon to the academy."

Shang Xia was in a daze, apparently not expecting such a thing.

Shang Quan glanced at him, and continued: "The family's five sharp weapons, one of which is in the hands of Uncle Ke, and the other two low-grade sharp weapons are also in the hands of the other two masters of martial arts in the family. Even you Aunt Shangxi doesn't even have a sharp weapon in her hand."

"Then these two sharp weapons on me..."

Shang Xia suddenly felt that the two sharp weapons in his hands were a bit hot.

Shang Quan said with a half-smile, "Now do you know the importance of these two sharp weapons in your hands?"

Shang Xia nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly planned to return the soft sword "Yuhe" wrapped around his waist, together with the ivory folding fan, to the family.

Shang Quan smiled and said: "No need to do that, these two sharp weapons can be left to you for safekeeping temporarily, otherwise the two sharp weapons can be regarded as family treasures, so how could you easily show them off?"

Shang Xia couldn't help but feel hot when he thought of the scene where he used two sharp weapons to show off his might in the college.

"Why?" Shang Xia was puzzled.

Shang Quan explained: "Among the warriors in the family, there is no one who is good at using these two sharp weapons. Occasionally, whoever uses them will use them as a prestige. Therefore, these two sharp weapons have been left unused in the family and are in public use. Otherwise, Do you think you can show it off casually?"

Shang Xia also suddenly remembered that after he "taken these two sharp weapons as his own", his aunt Shang Xi also took the soft sword "Yuhe" from him twice, each time within three to five days Not waiting for time, he returned it to him.

Shang Xia said embarrassedly: "Uncle Quan, then... these two scimitars..."

Shang Quan carefully inspected the small gap on the blade of the scimitar, couldn't help but smiled, and said: "Don't worry, the blacksmith in our family is not up to the standard for refining low-grade sharp weapons, but he is still confident in repairing these two gaps, and I'm afraid this is still a good thing he can't wait for."

"That's good, that's good..." Shang Xia smiled.

Shang Quan thought for a while, and said seriously: "The family will provide you with the materials for repairing the scimitar. This pair of scimitars is still your trophy, but you are also a member of the family, so the family's heritage can be enriched. "

"Of course!" Shang Xia said immediately.

"Although this scimitar is only a low-grade sharp weapon, the value of these two scimitars is no longer lower than that of ordinary mid-grade sharp weapons. In this way, the gap between our business and the other three major families in Tongyou City can be further reduced.”

Speaking of this, Shang Quan couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Shang Xia was not convinced: "Our merchant is also one of the four major families in Tongyou City. Is the gap with the other three major families obvious?"

Shang Quan smiled wryly and said: "You child was born after the fall of Youzhou. You don't know the power of the five surname families in Youzhou back then. The so-called four major families in Tongyou City, the three major families of Ji, Liu, and Yun were originally the five surname families. The aftermath of the fall of Youzhou. Compared with them, our business is the real rising star."

"As the saying goes, 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', although the three families no longer have the prestige of the five-surnamed families in the past, their heritage of hundreds of years is far from what our business can compare."

"Not to mention anything else, let's talk about this high-grade sharp weapon. The patriarchs of the other three major families are also the deputy head of Tongyou Academy, but they all have high-grade sharp weapons that belong to their respective families. In this regard, our business is better than No."

Shang Quan's words gave Shang Xia a clear understanding of his family, but it also made him feel depressed.

Shang Quan also seemed to be aware of Shang Xia's bad mood, and comforted him: "You don't have to be disappointed. In fact, in the past few years, our business's upward momentum has not been weak, and the gap with the other three companies in all aspects has also narrowed a little bit. , today you brought back this pair of scimitars and almost evened the gap in the number of sharp weapons with the other three, if you bring back a low-grade sharp weapon another day, maybe we will catch up!"

Shang Xia thought for a while, and his expression became very serious: "Uncle Quan, if our family has one more sharp weapon, will it be better than the other three?"

Shang Quan was slightly taken aback, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "It should be...it should be?"

"Oh," Shang Xia nodded, then bent down and pulled out a dagger from the boot on his calf, and said, "Uncle Quan, what do you think of this 'Yuanguang' dagger? It's also a low-grade sharp weapon!"

"..."

Shang Quan felt his head was a bit square.

…………

Although the time of contact with Shang Quan is not too often, Shang Quan gave Shang Xia the impression that he is a person who behaves calmly and well.

However, Shang Xia couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of how his clan uncle held three sets of four sharp weapons in his hand, trembling like a frightened hen an hour ago.

At this time, Shang Xia was in a quiet room arranged by Shang Quan.

Burn a furnace of incense and let your spirit return.

Shang Xia's mind began to flow through the inheritance of the exercises and martial arts acquired in the Sutra Cave.

After confirming that the memory was correct, Shang Xia's attention began to focus on the inheritance of the "Three Mysteries and Two Extremes", and began to consider every word and understand the meaning.

At the same time, the large amount of vitality that had accumulated in the dantian in Shang Xia's body seemed to be inspired by something, and began to move around.

However, under the suppression of the central Taiji diagram, the entire dantian has remained unimaginably stable.

After Shang Xia advanced to the Martial Realm, the real source of the Martial Realm in his dantian was only the Yin-Yang Diagram of Tai Chi that appeared after being infused with advanced potions.

The rest of the vitality accumulated in the dantian, besides the original Wuyuan realm vitality in the body, there is still a large amount of heaven and earth vitality that poured in during the advanced process.

If it were any martial artist who had just advanced to the Martial Extreme Realm, when faced with the scene in Shang Xia's dantian at this time, he would have already been trembling with fear. All fried into powder.

But in fact, Shang Xia never had such worries.

Even after he advanced to the Martial Extreme Realm, he fought against others several times, whether it was the dantian or the vitality in his body, it was always stable and good.

From the very beginning, Shang Xia already knew that the core of his real foothold in the Wuji Realm was not the martial arts, martial arts, or supernatural powers, but his unique cognition and presence in this realm. The manifestation in the dantian——Tai Chi Yin-Yang Diagram!

Therefore, Shang Xia's desire for martial arts, from the very beginning, was not his ability to control his vitality and prevent it from getting out of control.

After all, from this point of view, the appearance of Tai Chi Diagram has solved this problem almost perfectly.

It can even be said that when the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram was manifested in the dantian, Shang Xia had already created half a set of martial arts exercises, and they were of the highest rank.

What Shang Xia lacks now is only the way to control and control the vitality in the martial arts.

That is to say, the reason why Shang Xia chose "Three Mysteries and Two Extremes Kung Fu" was only to integrate its concept into his Yin and Yang concept, and perfect it into a set of martial arts skills that belonged to him alone.

"Do you start with the extreme way of water and fire..."

With Shang Xia's thought, the Taiji diagram in the dantian also changed.

Half of it murmured like running water, while the other half was like a burning flame.

"As one of the most common ways of cultivating the extreme martial arts realm, water and fire extreme way, seemingly common, has been studied deeply, and it is more stable."

"The creators of this set of exercises took this as a starting point, and they are obviously aware of the dangers in the process of transforming between extremes, so they chose the safest method."

With Shang Xia's approval, the water and fire Taiji diagram in the dantian began to rotate slowly.

In an instant, the huge vitality accumulated in the dantian seemed to be awakened all of a sudden, and while gradually approaching the center of the dantian, it began to slowly rotate along the periphery of the Taiji diagram.

At the same time, the vitality scattered in the body also seemed to be attracted, and slowly flowed along the meridians to the final destination - dantian!
