Xu Ying thought for a while and said: "You mixed too many things into the exercises. The two secret treasures of the master, the incense of the Yin Court, and the lost Qi Alchemist exercises. You can't unify them, so you came up with it."
The problem is especially the Qi Practitioners’ exercises. You don’t understand them, and you practice them forcefully, causing problems during the exercises. You also care about face, so it becomes more and more serious. Isn’t that right?”
Emperor Shengwu's majesty was revealed, and he was domineering and gloomy. He stared at him without making a sound.
Xu Ying looked calm and said: "Your Majesty's eyes can kill people. Looking at me like this makes me terrified."
Emperor Shengwu couldn't bear it anymore and stared at the divine light.
Hearing just two chi chis, two divine lights shot out from his eyes, passing over Xu Ying's head, cutting a bronze pillar as thick as a bucket into three sections in the main hall!
A large piece of the roof of the main hall was also blown off, and the incision was red and very neat.
Xu Ying stood there motionless, not caring at all.
He looked frightened and said: "Your Majesty has come to Yongzhou, have you seen the people's livelihood in Yongzhou?"
When Emperor Shengwu saw that he had changed the subject, he thought he was trying to give him a step down, so he got off the donkey along the slope and said with a gentle expression: "I am also very sad about the disaster in Yongzhou. I have ordered Zhou Heng, the governor of Yongzhou, to help the victims and save the people."
In water and fire."
Xu Ying showed a look of disappointment and said: "Before the underworld invaded, the people of Yongzhou were oppressed by the officials. In our Jiangjiatian Village alone, there were people who sold their sons and daughters, people who hung beams in their homes, and people who died of starvation and exhaustion on the roadside.
Some were also taken into prison and beaten to death inside. My adoptive father and grandfather went to catch snakes and were bitten to death by strange snakes."
Emperor Shengwu frowned.
In the past, when he frowned, the officials would watch his words and shut up at the right time without losing face.
Xu Ying thought to himself: "I just entered the palace and smelled the fragrance of medicinal materials, including the scent of strange snakes dried with wax. Today I learned that our snake catchers used our lives to catch strange snakes and presented them to His Majesty for making elixirs. Come to think of it.
Because your majesty opened the two secret treasures of Yujing and Jianggong, the internal power conflict caused his hands and feet to spasm, and he needed to be treated with strange snakes. Hey, my grandfather and adoptive father died at the hands of your majesty."
Emperor Shengwu said unhurriedly: "The people's livelihood in Yongzhou is so corrupt? I don't know. Zhou Heng, the governor of Yongzhou, is a son of the Zhou family. If he doesn't do well, I can't rule the Zhou family and get rid of Zhou Qiyun.
What can be done?"
Xu Ying ignored him and said: "Your Majesty, this time Yongzhou suffered a disaster and new lands emerged. Many villages were isolated in the mountains. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. They were trapped in the new lands and were invaded by ghosts from the underworld.
, but because of the dangerous roads, the officials were unable to collect taxes, so they could not live a better life."
The Holy Emperor was silent for a moment and sighed: "This is the shortcoming of the family's governance. My decree cannot even reach the county seat! I ordered disaster relief, I ordered the exemption of taxes, I ordered not to collect corvee, but when it comes down to the lower level, it changes.
I have a hard time!"
Xu Ying looked at him, and after a while, he said: "If you can't do it, just go down and find someone else who can do it. Why occupy the latrine and not poop?"
The Holy Emperor looked indifferent, the clouds above his head suddenly became gloomy, and thunder crackled in the clouds.
He became furious.
Seeing this, Xu Ying smiled openly and said: "The common people can understand your Majesty. After all, the top is still good, it's not rotten yet, it's just rotten underneath, the root is rotten. What's wrong with your Majesty's technique?"
The Holy Emperor snorted and said calmly: "Even if Zhou Qiyun thinks highly of you, within ten steps of this hall, if I kill your head, ten Zhou Qiyuns will not be able to save you!"
Xu Ying lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am a commoner and you are the Holy One. Why do you need to be angry like a common man?"
The Holy Emperor suppressed the surging Qi and blood, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said: "You were born in Yongzhou, and your life in Yongzhou is not good. It is normal for you to have some resentment. I will not argue with you. Zhou Qiyun is tolerant.
I have it too."
He took out a golden book. The golden book was also a method used by ancient Qi alchemists to record their skills. The golden papers were as thin as cicada wings and were activated by spiritual consciousness. Once they were sacrificed, they stood in the air. From the golden paper
Reflect the words and pictures.
Those pictures often contain symbols of the Tao, which were carefully recorded by ancient Qi practitioners. Understanding them can help people practice.
The exercises in the golden book of the Holy God Emperor are called "Jiu Xiaoyang Shen Xuan Tan Gong". It not only contains exercises, but also power refining techniques. The exercises are Yang Shen Jiuzhuan Xuan Dan.
Among them are the Golden Crow Dao Symbol and the Nine Heavens Dao Symbol, which are extremely mysterious.
Xu Ying took a general look and quickly understood the scriptures.
This "Nine-Xiao Yang Shen Xuan Tan Gong" follows the pure Yang path to refine pure Yang energy and pure Yang soul. Finally, the Xuan Dan turns nine times, one turn to the heaven, and nine turns to refine the pure Yang spirit.
"Jiuxiao Yangshen, there are not many flaws in the technique, just practice it step by step."
Xu Ying thought about it, "So, where did the Holy God Emperor make a mistake in his understanding that led him to use the Yang Qi from human ghosts to practice? Could it be that he understood pure Yang as Yang Qi?"
At this time, Xu Ying is no longer the ignorant young man he was at the beginning. He has a general understanding of the art of urging, and knows that there is no concept of pure Yang in the art of urging.
If the Holy Emperor understood pure Yang as Yang Qi, he would indeed make a joke about using Yang Qi to practice.
Moreover, he opened Jianggong's secret treasure, and his heart was full of fire. He then took elixirs made from Yang Qi and ate more. Over time, he became manic and depressed.
This is just a deviation in the understanding of Chunyang. There are probably many other deviations. When these mistakes accumulate together, they become a major life-threatening problem.
"The emperor is far less cautious than Zhou Qiyun, and is too greedy for success. If he continues to practice like this, he will die suddenly within a few years. The real fire starts in the ventricle of his heart and begins to burn, burning him completely. Only human skin and clothes are left.
and hair.”
Xu Ying sensed the problem and said to the Holy Emperor, "Your Majesty, when you opened the two secrets, did you feel that there was a conflict in power?"
The Holy God Emperor said: "When I was running the exercises, I noticed that the two secret treasures often had the power to invade me. Although my cultivation level is getting higher and higher, my body is getting worse and worse."!
Xu Ying nodded lightly.
On the one hand, the Holy God Emperor had a misunderstanding of the "Jiuxiaoyang Shenxuantan Technique"; on the other hand, this technique could not unify Jianggong and Yujing, causing Jianggong, Yujing and his own magic power to conflict.
In addition, he absorbed the incense from the human world, adding an extra layer of incense power, making it even more difficult to reconcile.
The Holy Emperor is indeed powerful, powerful enough to compete with Zhou Qiyun. But the hidden dangers in his body are much greater than Zhou Qiyun's.
"I can decipher the Nine Heavens Yang God for your majesty, so that your majesty will not be at risk of going crazy or becoming manic and depressed after practicing. I can also help your majesty adjust various power imbalance problems and solve your majesty's worries."
Xu Ying raised his head, looked directly at the Holy Emperor, and said, "But I need your Majesty to do something."
The Holy Emperor's expression moved slightly and he said: "Is it to govern the world, rectify the administration of officials, appease the people's livelihood, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
Xu Ying shook his head: "If your Majesty had this ability, he would have done it long ago during his reign. Why do the common people need to remind him? The common people only need your Majesty to do one thing within his power."
The Holy Emperor laughed loudly and said loudly: "If I cultivate the Qi refining method, live forever, coexist with the world, rectify the world's feudal clans, flatten the feudal towns, and manage the people's livelihood, wouldn't it be easy? My dear, don't underestimate me! I have done it before
No, but I can do it if I live forever!"
Xu Ying's heart moved slightly and he looked at him, silently saying in his heart: "Will the Holy Emperor really be a good emperor?"
Although he thought so, he still expressed his wish and said: "The common people hope that Your Majesty can allow the common people and Yuan Weiyang to get rid of Zhou Qiyun and escape."
The Holy Emperor smiled slightly and said: "I agree to you."
Xu Ying bowed and said: "The common people also hope to obtain the dragon-seeking and locating technique secretly stored in Yujing."
The Holy Emperor's eyes trembled, and he said with a smile on his face: "Although this request is not in line with the ancestral law, I have made the decision and I agree to it!"
Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, wait for a few days, and the common people will be able to decipher the Jiuxiaoyang God."
The Holy Emperor looked at his face with gentle eyes and said: "Xu Aiqing, I hope you will not betray my sincerity. Not only will I allow you to do these things, but I will also allow you to govern the world when I live forever! Then
At that time, you were the hero of the dragon, inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people!"
Xu Ying put away "Jiuxiaoyang Shenxuantan Gong" and was a little moved by what he said, saying: "The common people have no idea of becoming an official. They are angry and can't obey orders. Resign. That's right!"
When he was about to walk out of the hall, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said with a smile: "At the beginning of the year, Your Majesty summoned Lord Liu Zongyuan of Yongzhou to the capital. Lord Liu has been reused by Your Majesty, right?"
The Holy Emperor shook his head and said: "I thought he was a pillar of the country, so I called him into the palace and had a long talk, but he only talked empty talk about changing the political law. I don't like to see such talkative people, so let him
He went to Liuzhou to serve as an official. Does Xu Aiqing have an old relationship with him? If Xu Aiqing opens his mouth, I can transfer him back."
Xu Ying smiled and shook his head, saying: "He is an official.
How could the common people have any relationship with him? We only met him a few times."
He turned and left.
The Holy Emperor smiled and said: "I asked Eunuch Chen to send you off. Eunuch Chen, send Xu Aiqing off."
"This slave obeys your order."
Eunuch Chen came to Xu Ying's side, bowed and said with a smile, Mr. Xu, please."
Xu Ying shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, there is no need to call me adult. I am just a fourteen-and-a-half-year-old child. I don't understand any principles."
They walked outside, and Xu Ying saw some fruit trees planted outside the temple. They were already bearing fruit and smelling fragrant, but they couldn't see clearly at night what kind of fruit trees they were.
"Father, what kind of fruit are grown here?" Xu Ying stared at the fruit tree and asked.
"Spring peaches. It's the ripe season and the taste is very sweet. Would you like to try one, Sir?"
Xu Ying stretched out his hand to pick a spring peach and put it under his nose. The smell was fragrant. It suddenly reminded him of the fragrance of a beautiful woman and made him feel a little upset.
He broke open the spring peach, took a look at it, lost interest, and threw it aside, saying: "It's already very bad."
Eunuch Chen quickly picked one, wiped off the peach hair on his sleeve, and sent it to Xu Ying as if to please, smiling: "Master Xu, try this again!"
Xu Ying shook his head and said, "I'm not interested anymore. By the way, Eunuch Chen, please don't tell anyone about His Majesty's practice of magic skills."
Stop. Eunuch Chen was so frightened that his hands shook. Taozi almost didn't pinch Xu Ying and walked towards the sycamore tree on the mountain, muttering to himself.
Said: "Now your Majesty absorbs people's yang energy to practice kung fu. In the future, when your majesty's demonic kung fu is slightly improved, he will eat people to practice kung fu. At that time, the entire palace..."
He shook his head: "I don't know how many people will be eaten."
Eunuch Chen shuddered and quickly followed, whispering, "Master Xu, when will your majesty achieve the magic power?"
Xu Ying shook his head and said: "I don't know. I will help His Majesty decipher it this time. The most I can do is delay it for a while."
He didn't want to say more, so he returned to Wutong Palace and fell asleep without taking off his clothes, but he just didn't feel sleepy. After a while, the young man turned over on Feng Xian'er's bed and muttered: "It's so bad, there's no way to save it."
The next day, Xu Ying didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, washed up, and planned to go to Guo's house to have breakfast. He had already gotten up to do morning classes at seven o'clock, and the big clock was not here.
Xu Ying had just walked out of the palace when he saw Guo Xiaodie standing in front of the palace with a face full of excitement. The girl was beaten so badly that her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. There was no good skin on her body. She had obviously practiced all night!
"I've made it!" She grabbed Xu Ying's arm and shook it excitedly.
Xu Ying asked doubtfully: "You fell like this, didn't you use the ladder to make it happen?"
The girl was so excited that she wiped away the blood from her nose and cheered: "If I didn't have the courage to fall, I would never have been able to practice the Sword Control Technique! I finally made it!"
She yelled and rushed into the distance.
Xu Yingruo realized something and looked up, only to see Qi and Dazhong basking in the sun on a sycamore branch. He thought to himself: "Master Qi always can't learn the sword control technique. Maybe if you push him down, he will learn it."
.”
He had a daydream: "How majestic a flying snake with a sword must be?"
Qi Zheng was talking to Dazhong and said: "What should we practice now? It's too slow to practice here, so we should go to Chaozhen Taixu Cave to practice. As soon as A Ying's three acres of Taoist fields are opened, Tao seeds will come in droves. You can practice as fast as you want.
How fast. Can you chew it or not, Mr. Zhong, you are stupid..."
As soon as he said this, he was suddenly kicked and kicked off the tree, letting out a long scream.
The big clock was startled and he looked around quickly. Xu Ying was looking under the tree with his feet back.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from under the tree.
Xiaozhu sends a Dharma to a lamp for the Han Dynasty Confinement Party."
Xu Ying shook his head, glanced sideways at the big clock, and said, "It's suicide. Isn't that right, Master Zhong?"
Da Zhong said quickly: "Suicide attempt! I can see clearly that he slipped and fell!"
Xu Ying nodded lightly and walked away.
Chaozhen Taixu Cave Heaven. Xu Ying sat on Qi's head and continued to practice Taiyi Guidance. Qi continued to steal Tao seeds. After a long time, Xu Ying suddenly said: "Brother Yuan, your Majesty found me yesterday and asked me to help him decipher the code.
A skill."
Yuan Weiyang's body trembled slightly and said: "You will definitely die. Your Majesty has no tolerance! If you hand over your skills, you will definitely die!"
Xu Ying's eyes flashed and he said: "Which one is stronger, Zhou Qiyun or Your Majesty?"
Yuan Weiyang shook his head and said: "Back then, Zhou Laozu was strong. But His Majesty is physically strong. In recent years, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. With the support of the people of Li, the incense has formed Qingyun. It's hard to say who is stronger now."
She paused and said: "That day you locked Old Ancestor Zhou, the Holy God Emperor and the Heavenly Demon in the Demon Suppressing Hall. Ancestor Zhou and the Holy God Emperor were each injured. The injuries on these two masters may not have been caused by the Heavenly Demon.
But which one is strong and which one is weak is not something we can know."
Xu Ying looked calm and said: "You will know soon."
