Chapter 49 – Can he still be saved?

The column of text on the green jade slip was the Taiyin Yuanyu Gong. In addition, there was a line of small characters, and then there was no content.

Xu Ying walked towards the green jade slip, intending to take a closer look, but was stopped by the old servant Zhou Buyi.

"Master Xu, to decipher the green jade slip, you must first study the Tu Yu Xian Shu. Otherwise, you won't understand the content on the green jade slip."

The old servant Zhou Buyi smiled and said, "Those who can comprehend the green jade slip here are all elders of the Zhou family. They have studied the Tu Yu Xian Shu for decades, and can barely understand some of the content on the green jade slip. Master Xu has just arrived and wants to see the green jade slip. It's too presumptuous."

Xu Ying smiled and said, "Buyi, when did you become qualified to tell me what I should and shouldn't read? If you have the ability, Zhou Qiyun should invite you to decipher the Xian Shu. If you don't have the ability, please stand aside and don't point fingers at those who are capable."

The old servant Zhou Buyi was both ashamed and angry, but dared not speak out, so he had to step aside and thought to himself, "This country bumpkin doesn't know how to behave."

Xu Ying walked over to the jade slip, and at this moment, Da Zhong's voice came, "Ah Ying, this thing is called a jade slip, a special kind of jade bamboo. In ancient times, the Qi Refiners used this kind of jade bamboo to record their insights, so it was also called the Jade Slip Dao Book. However, jade bamboo is extremely rare and valuable, and not something that ordinary Qi Refiners can get their hands on. What is recorded in here may be even more precious than the Tu Yu Xian Shu!"

Xu Ying was puzzled, "Jade bamboo? Can bamboo be made of jade? Can jade grow in the ground?"

Da Zhong spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's strange for jade to grow in the ground, but it's not strange for wood to grow in the ground, is it? Some creatures can even grow gold and iron in their bodies, which is purer than what you can refine!"

Xu Ying thought carefully and felt that it seemed reasonable for jade to grow in the soil.

He walked up to the jade slip and looked up at the small characters.

There were eight characters in total, also in bird seal script, but different from the bird seal script he had seen before. There seemed to be many wonderful meanings hidden between the strokes.

When he recognized the first character, he understood its meaning, but at the same time, he lost the ability to express the meaning of the character in words.

He couldn't use any language he knew to describe and depict the meaning of this character.

Forcibly expressing it, he could barely use the word "Tai" to express it.

Just as he understood the meaning of the character "Tai", strange sounds came into his ears, making him involuntarily make corresponding movements!

He stood still, his left palm on his left side and his right palm on his right side, bending his middle two fingers and turning his upper body backward, twisting his waist almost a full circle, making a crackling sound in his bones!

After this movement was completed, Xu Ying felt the true qi in his body rushing along his spine like a river, evaporating into rain, cleaning the desolate land, and cleansing his internal organs!

When he saw the second character, if he were to use a known language to express it forcibly, it could be called "Yin".

The strange sound in his ears suddenly changed, as if someone was reciting a mysterious scripture, and the marrow in his bones made a rustling sound.

Xu Ying couldn't control his body, squatting with his legs bent, his left palm in front and his right palm behind, his neck leading forward, feeling a cool air flowing through his bones, making a rattling sound throughout his body.

Finally, all his strength gathered at the black iron mysterious gate at the end!

When he saw the third character "Yuan", the sound in his ears changed again, and Xu Ying followed suit, one foot in front and one foot behind, pressing his hands on the ground and looking up as hard as he could.

The water and fire in his body intermingled, melting all the acupoints in his body!

Finally, the water and fire converged near the dantian!The jade slip had eight characters on it. Xu Ying read them from beginning to end and with each character, he heard a different Dao sound. After reading the eight characters, strange things happened to his internal organs, tailbone, dantian, spine, throat, under the tongue, tongue, and brow. He felt like he had been washed from the inside out and it was more comfortable than the Great Sun Body Tempering Technique or the Thunder Sound Body Tempering Technique.

The eight bird seal characters on the jade slip could be expressed with the eight words: Tai, Yin, Yuan, Yu, Yi, Yang, Yong, and Zhen. But the true meaning could only be understood by comprehending the meaning of the words while also hearing the corresponding Dao sound.

What was even stranger was that the eight characters on the jade slip corresponded vaguely to the eight realms of Qi Gathering, the First Refining, Refining, the Second Refining, Heavy Building, Jade Pool, Divine Bridge, and Ascension.

After practicing the technique once, Xu Ying felt comfortable in every aspect of his body, soul, consciousness, Qi, and blood. Every thought in his mind was clear and distinct, no longer chaotic like before. Even the Dao images in his mind were more stable than before.

"Is the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Technique just these eight characters?" Xu Ying doubted, thinking, "This technique is too simple!"

Compared to the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Technique's eight characters, the Tuoyu Immortal Book was much more complex. The ancient Qi cultivator Tuoyu had explained the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Technique's eight characters in eight realms, each with lengthy annotations. There were many complex words used to explain the annotations, and even more complex words were needed to explain those words!

However, ultimately, Tuoyu's annotations and annotations of the annotations were her own understanding of these eight characters, containing her understanding of the Dao. Therefore, they were obscure and difficult to understand, even for the most talented people in the Zhou family.

But in Xu Ying's view, Tuoyu's interpretation of the meaning did not exceed the eight characters of the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Technique.

"Moreover, Tuoyu's understanding seems to be somewhat wrong. She grasped the essence of the words Tai, Yin, Yuan, and Yu, but her comprehension of Yi, Yang, Yong, and Zhen is not enough."

Xu Ying thought to himself, "Perhaps this is why practicing the Tuoyu Immortal Book will turn one into a woman."

He stood in front of the thirteen elderly Zhou family members who had read countless books and practiced the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Technique over and over again with strange postures, attracting the attention of the talented people in the Zhou family.

"Who is this person?" a young white-haired Zhou family member asked the old servant Zhou Buyi.

Zhou Buyi quickly bowed and smiled, "Young Master You, this is a young genius from the countryside. Young Master You remembers Xu Ying, who caused a lot of trouble some time ago?"

Zhou You shook his head and said, "Nonsense. People from the countryside really have no knowledge. They blow up a swindler like he's a god."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside, "Who is Xu Ying?"

The voice was loud, ringing in the ears of everyone in the hall. Xu Ying turned to look outside and saw several young men and women rushing in.

The leader was a man in white and red clothes, and he spoke loudly as soon as he entered the hall, "I heard that the ancestors captured the criminal Xu Ying and asked him to come here to decipher the immortal book. Who is Xu Ying? Come out quickly!"

Xu Ying stepped forward and said, "I am Xu Ying."

The man in white and red clothes looked him up and down and sneered, "You're the one who killed Zhou Erge and Uncle Zhou Yihang?"

Zhou Buyi stepped forward and coughed, "Young Master, Xu Gongzi was invited by the ancestors to decipher the immortal book. Please don't cause any trouble."The man was Zhou Fan from the Zhou family's inner courtyard. He sneered and said, "Yi Bo, do you know how many people he killed from my Zhou family? The entire Lingling County's Nuo practitioners were wiped out! Zhou Yang's second brother and Uncle Yi Hang both died at his hands! The elite troops from Yongzhou Prefecture suffered heavy casualties, and how many people died because of him? Even Zhou Zheng died!"

Zhou Buyi said, "Master instructed me to take care of Xu Gongzi. I cannot let you kill Xu Gongzi to vent your anger."

Zhou Fan laughed angrily, "I didn't say I was going to kill him, just teach him a lesson! Yi Bo, you won't even allow that?"

The old servant Zhou Buyi turned to Xu Ying and sighed, "Xu Gongzi, you see, it's not that I don't care about your safety, but the anger of the masses is hard to quell. Let Xu Gongzi suffer a bit and let them vent. With me here, your life is not in danger, at most you'll just get injured."

A smile appeared on his wrinkled face. "Fortunately, my Zhou family is the best at treating injuries. As long as Gongzi doesn't die, we can save him."

Zhou Fan strode towards Xu Ying, and before he even arrived, his right hand had already lifted and fiercely slapped Xu Ying's face, saying sharply, "I'll give you a slap for Yang Erge, is that too much?"

Xu Ying shrugged and raised his hand. In an instant, his palm turned red and was as big as a fan. He slapped down with a thunderous sound, hitting Zhou Fan's face first!

"Crack!"

The sound wave exploded, blood splattered, and Zhou Fan's head twisted more than half a circle from the slap.

At that moment, he saw his own butt, and the next moment his body was whirling and tumbling in the air, hitting a pillar four zhang away with a bang and falling to the ground with a thud.

However, Zhou Fan was also tough. He jumped up and was still full of energy.

The moment he leaped up, he saw a sword aura pointing at his forehead, forcing him to stick to the pillar.

In the main hall, the Zhou family's children rushed forward one after another, shouting, "How dare you!" "You're a bastard!" "Put down the sword!"

Four zhang behind the sword aura, Xu Ying stood there and said calmly, "Whether it's too much or not, let strength speak for itself. Do you have the strength to be excessive in front of me?"

He looked around and took in the expressions of the Zhou family's people. His face was gentle as he said, "I never really understood before. Zhou Yang was already the county magistrate, the biggest official in our area. He had everything he wanted, with more than a dozen beautiful wives, thousands of hectares of fertile land, endless gold and silver treasures, and delicious food. He went out in a grand sedan and came home to beautiful wives. We farmers and vegetable sellers have nothing. Many people can't afford to marry, and many can't afford to build houses and sleep in dirt huts. Our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. Why is Zhou still so greedy for money and still plundering us poor people? We can't afford to eat, so why does he still take our remaining food?"

He smiled, "Seeing you all, I understand now. It turns out that he wants to feed you. You have everything you need, with fancy clothes and no worries about food and clothing. You go out in luxury and have countless servants like stars and moons. Behind you are the Zhou county magistrates, like gods, serving you!"

Yuan Qi slapped his tail on the ground and praised, "Well said, well said! You're talking about these fat old rats! Ayin, am I right?"

Xu Ying clapped and praised, "Old Niu's family is indeed a scholarly family, this sentence has a lot of meaning."

Yuan Qi laughed heartily, "You finally admit that my knowledge is better than yours!"

The faces of the Zhou family's people turned pale.

The old servant Zhou Buyi was so angry that he trembled all over, pointing at Xu Ying and cursing, "Rumor, these are all rumors against my Zhou family! If you dare to say this today, I can't even imagine what you'll do tomorrow!"

Yuan Qi was surprised, "You're a servant of the Zhou family, but you talk like the master of the Zhou family? The things we have personally experienced have become rumors in your mouth. Are you carrying the law of heaven in your mouth, following the law with your words?"The old servant Zhou Buyi's hands were shaking as he angrily cursed, "A little snake demon dare to speak nonsense! My Zhou family is executing imperial orders and implementing imperial favors. If you question the Zhou family, you are questioning the emperor and imperial orders! Are you trying to rebel?"

Yuan Qi angrily retorted, "You are allowed to be a tyrant, but I'm not allowed to rebel?"

Xu Ying coughed and interrupted them. His sword lightly tapped Zhou Fan's face, making a crisp sound as he said, "I'll spare you this time, but it won't happen again. If you want to spar with me, you're welcome anytime. If you want to avenge Zhou Yang and his son, then we'll follow the rules of seeking revenge."

He dispersed his sword aura, his gaze becoming cold and stern. "But you must remember, the grudge between Zhou Yang's father and son and me is a deep-seated one. If you want to avenge them, be prepared to die!"

Zhou Fan stared at the tip of the sword. As the sword aura dissipated, he immediately shouted and explosive sounds came from within his body. The muscles in his right arm grew wildly, and as he lifted and lowered his arm, a flesh wing that was four or five zhang long formed!

The muscles on the flesh wing were as sharp as rocks, filled with unimaginable explosive power!

As he swung his arm, golden feathers shot out from inside the flesh wing, growing wildly and quickly covering the entire flesh wing!

The golden feathers were extremely sharp, as if they were made by a skilled craftsman using the best steel, exquisite and full of feather details!

This was the nüo technique that had gained insight into the great dao!

Zhou Fan raised his arm and swung it down, his arm turning into a flesh wing golden feather blade that was several zhang long. It happened in an instant and was already complete!

As his arm fell, the flesh wing golden feather blade had already fallen on Xu Ying's head. He shouted, "What can you do for Second Brother Yang's revenge? This is the Zhou family!"

A bright sword aura on Xu Ying's shoulder met the tip of Zhou Fan's flesh and golden feather blade, cutting straight forward like a bamboo. It passed through a beautiful sword light and pierced through Zhou Fan's forehead with a clang, cutting through his body and landing on the pillar behind him.

The bronze pillar was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and was extremely ancient, emitting a green glow.

At this moment, a thin bloodline appeared on the pillar.

Xu Ying was a little surprised that his Breaking Boundary Sword had not harmed the bronze pillar in the slightest, indicating that the Huaixuan Palace was indeed a treasure trove.

"Is the Zhou family the best at healing in the world? Can he still be saved?" Xu Ying turned his head and asked Zhou Buyi.

In front of the bronze pillar, a bloodline appeared on Zhou Fan's forehead. The Breaking Boundary Sword had already split his brain and broken open his nüo secret treasure.
