Chapter 13: Unexpected Discovery

  "Yesterday on the train, I asked if you were General Xu's grandson. Why did you deny it?"

  Mei Shufen hummed softly, "You still make yourself sound so miserable, saying things like you've been living in the desolate mountains for twenty years and whatnot."

  "Mei Shufen, think back to the situation at that time, I don't think I denied it, my grandfather wasn't some big leader, what's there to brag about?"

  Xu's face revealed a hint of bitter smile, "Besides, what I told you is true. When I was young, I contracted a strange illness. If my master hadn't saved me, I would have died twenty years ago. In the end, my master took me away, and that was twenty years ago."

  His voice paused, "Actually, I just came down from the mountain yesterday."

  "Oh, what's wrong with you? Even in Beijing, there isn't a hospital that can properly treat your illness?"

  Mei Shufen was taken aback by his words. The entire Republic knew that the medical conditions in the capital city were the best, and yet Xu Yi's illness was so severe that even a large hospital couldn't handle it, clearly it wasn't just a minor illness.

  "Three Yang pulse is cut off, actually I don't know what it is either."

  Hehe smiled and lit a cigarette, taking a puff, walked around the old mansion with his hands behind his back, carefully surveying the terrain. He secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the feng shui of the old mansion's ancestral land was very good, which discounted the effect of the feng shui array set up by the other party.

  Otherwise, Father's fortune will be affected even more, and the old man will get even sicker.

  Fortunately, this three-yin gathering evil array is not difficult to break, first find the array eye, then take out the thing that starts the array, sometimes in order to increase the power of the array, special materials need to be used around.

  "Xu Yi, what kind of formation is this? I feel like it's still a bit chilly under the sun. How do we break it?" Mei Shufen crossed her arms over her chest, furrowing her brow. She didn't know what was going on with this Three Yin Gathering Evil Formation, but she could sense that the evil energy gathered by the formation was very powerful.

  "This three-yin gathering evil formation is acting on the old house, and it needs to go through a period of time to slowly gather the evil spirits within dozens of miles around."

  Xu Yi walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, "It's not difficult to break this Feng Shui formation. First, we need to disperse the evil spirits of this Feng Shui formation, then find the needle eye of the formation and destroy it."

  His voice paused, and he slowly shook his head. "Not right, this house is now uninhabited, the effect should not be too great, the person who set up the feng shui layout must also know that our family members are no longer living in this old house, so my dad's luck being affected is not just because of this feng shui layout."

  "It's possible that they've even set up a feng shui formation on the other side of your grandmother's grave." Mei Shufen's eyes rolled, "Right, what did you do to offend someone, that they'd think of using this method to deal with your family?"

  "I had no idea, I've basically been staying on the mountain all along."

  Xu shook his head, carefully examined the surroundings, and immediately found where the array eye was located. It was under a stone at the front of the house, under the eaves. He walked over and kicked the stone.

  "How to dispel the gloomy atmosphere gathered here, and if dispersed randomly, will it affect others?" Mei Shufen furrowed her brow, lightly shifting her feet until she left that area, only then did she feel a slow warmth spreading over her body.

  "Right, right, I didn't think of that." Xu Yi was taken aback by the words and nodded slowly, "The yin evil energy isn't just empty air. Due to the formation and terrain, it can't flow freely. Once this formation is broken, we must find a medium to digest and transfer these evil energies. We're all fellow villagers, so let's not make innocent people suffer unjustly on behalf of our Xu family."

  "No way, I have to think of something."

  Xu rubbed his chin, raised his head to survey the surrounding area, and slowly walked towards the array's location. He felt the ominous aura growing thicker, and slowly stretched out his hand, his mind stirring as the true energy in his dantian rapidly circulated to his palm. Suddenly, a thread of stinging pain transmitted from his chest.

  His face suddenly sank, and Xu Yi's heart was lifted to his throat. This deep pain etched in his bones, he would never forget for the rest of his life. Although these years his true energy could suppress the onset of the three yang pulse, however, that black line still slowly became thicker, and step by step moved towards the position of the heart.

  Is it going to happen again? Xi Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily unbuttoned his clothes, lowering his head to take a look at the spot on his chest. Indeed, a black line had appeared there, and what's more, it was slowly squirming like an earthworm.

  Mei Shufen was startled, thinking that Xu Yi was going to do something, and found him looking down at his own chest, thinking that this guy had some special hobby. Just as she was about to turn her head away, she suddenly saw a black line under the skin on his left chest, instinctively feeling that it wasn't anything good, and couldn't help but pause in surprise.

  "What's wrong with you, Xu Yi?"

  Xu Yi gently shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. "This is my illness. The three yang meridians were forcibly compressed into one line by my master using internal energy when I was young. My master said back then that if this black line ever extends to my heart, it would be the end of my life."

  "Just now I mobilized my true energy and this yin evil energy actually caused a reaction in the three yang channels."

  She looked thoughtfully at the black line on her chest, "It shouldn't be because of the true energy. When I used true energy before, there was no such phenomenon. It's very likely due to this yin evil energy. Could it be that this yin evil energy has an effect on the three yang channels?"

  "Well, go ahead and try it then."

  Mei Shufen hastily pulled Xu Yi away, "Try again, don't use your true energy and stand in the center of the formation, see if there's any reaction. Or use your true energy but don't stand in the center of the formation, carefully experience that feeling."

  "Just try it several times and you'll know."

  Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded his head, "Mm, I'll give it a try."

  After finishing speaking, he slowly walked to the center of the formation. This time, Xu Yi did not use his true energy and allowed the yin evil energy to pass through his body. He lowered his head and looked at his chest, where the black line showed no reaction.

  "If true Qi is not transported, then the Yin evil Qi will have no effect on the three Yang channels."

  Xu nodded and twisted his neck, "I'll try again to use my true energy and see if there's any reaction from the Three Yang Meridians."

  As soon as the mind moved, the true energy in the dantian quickly circulated, and a sharp pain was quickly felt at the chest. Xu Yi lowered his head to take a look, and indeed saw that black line wriggling like an earthworm, and it was moving towards the direction of the heart.

  Is this yin evil Qi helpful for the operation of the three yang channels?

  No, no, one is extremely yin and the other is extremely yang. These two are absolutely impossible to coexist. As soon as Xu Mo lit a cigarette and took a puff, he felt the suppressing effect of the yin evil energy on his three yang channels, so he hurriedly moved it towards his heart.

  "How is it, Xu Yi? How does it feel?"

  Mei Shufen looked at Xu Yi with a worried face.

  "It's okay, I just tried it a few times. The place where the yin and yang energies gather has an impact on the three yang meridians after the operation of the true qi. Xǔ let out a sigh of relief, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his face. It seems that he doesn't have to worry about his life being in danger every moment now. He still needs to think of a way to do it specifically."

  The evil spirit does not dare to come lightly, this is related to one's own life.

  "The gathering of Yin evil Qi is not a difficult task, so it seems that your illness has hope?"

  Mei Shufen also became happy, "Then let's hurry up and move, otherwise we'll have to spend the night in this village tonight. I promised my mom that I would go home for dinner."

  "Yes, gathering the evil spirit's energy is easy, but I need to carefully examine how to do it specifically. I'll go ask my master to verify it. It seems like this trip back home has been very rewarding."

  Xu smiled and turned to survey the surroundings, "Now the most important thing is to break this Feng Shui array and eliminate the evil spirit here."

  A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Xu Yi twisted his neck, sat cross-legged at the center of the formation, flipped his palms upwards, with his palm hearts facing each other. With a movement of his intention, the true energy circulated, and in the place where his palms were embracing, there was actually a faint sound of wind.

  Xu felt a coolness that penetrated his heart and spleen, slowly rushing up his arms to the top of his head, then passing through the Zhongzhu hole, through the Huagai hole, and finally circling around the Zigong hole without moving forward. Meanwhile, another pang of pain came from the left side of his chest. He opened his eyes, looked down at his chest, and indeed saw that the black line was slowly squirming, seemingly moving away from his heart.

  Mei Shufen was startled, she keenly felt that there were some subtle changes around her, and her heart moved, slowly moving into the range of the law array. Sure enough, she felt that the thick yin evil energy was slowly disappearing. Turning around, just wanting to ask Xu Yi what was going on, but was startled by the scene in front of her eyes.

  Xu sat on the ground, his eyes closed, his hands empty and embracing, and a whirlpool slowly appeared between his palms. Mei Shufen felt that the yin evil energy that had gathered here was actually being sucked into the whirlpool.

  Gradually, the whirlpool became more and more obvious, as if there was a howling wind sound, then saw a withered grass, a piece of leaves slowly being sucked into the whirlpool, slowly rising along the whirlpool.

  Mei Shufen was stunned, her mouth agape in shock. What kind of martial arts skill is this? It's incredibly powerful! Not just Jiangnan Province, but perhaps the entire cultivation world, there are only a handful of people who can achieve such mastery at such a young age. How did Xu Yi cultivate such an extraordinary skill?

  The whirlpool slowly disappeared, and the leaves and roots in the whirlpool slowly fell in front of Xu Yi. Mei Shufen took a deep breath, and the thick yin evil energy disappeared without a trace. It seemed that Xu Yi had absorbed it into his body and refined it into true energy.

  I just don't know what kind of true energy this gloomy and evil air will condense into.
