Chapter 143 Chapter 144, Princess’s Resentment, Tiger Demon Refining Bones!
What is the most comfortable way to travel from Jiangdu to Luoyang?
Of course, it’s not a boat ride along the Grand Canal, but…
"Wanjing, it's time for training again."
After bidding farewell to Wei Lianxiang and returning to the Dongming, Ouyang Feng looked at Shan Wanjing with a serious face:
"Since your power improved greatly during the 'Gold and Water Mutual Creation' last year, you have not gone out to practice. So this time, you will go to Luoyang alone. After arriving in Luoyang, you can summon me to come. Can you do it?"
"..."
Shan Wanjing blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Ouyang Feng speechlessly, as if to say "I've seen through you".
Ouyang Feng remained calm and looked at Shan Meixian again:
"Wan Jing is training alone, Madam, are you relieved?"
Shan Meixian looked at Shan Wanjing and said with a smile:
"Last year, Wan Jing returned to Ryukyu from Chang'an alone. She fought bravely along the way and defeated Dugu Feng. Her reputation soared, but she was still listed as one of the four great young masters by the martial arts community, along with Dugu Feng, Hou Xibai, and Yang Xuyan. She was not able to surpass them. Now Wan Jing's skills have greatly improved, and her swordsmanship has reached a higher level. It's time for the world to see the charm of a future grandmaster of swordsmanship."
"..."
Seeing her mother and Ouyang Feng singing the same tune, Shan Wanjing's cheeks puffed up and her eyes were full of resentment, like a kitten abandoned by its owner.
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"Then Madam, please go back to Ryukyu. There are more than 200,000 taels of gold and several boxes of rare treasures from the palace. If this batch of treasures were exposed, I don't know how many bandits would covet it."
After saying this, he glanced at Shan Wanjing and said:
"Wanjing, you should leave too. I won't see you off. We'll see you in Luoyang."
"..."
Shan Wanjing pouted, looked at Ouyang Feng resentfully, jumped off the Dongming, and flew north along the bank of the Shanyangdu section of the Grand Canal.
After watching Shan Wanjing go away.
Ouyang Feng was about to return to the main world when Shan Meixian suddenly said:
"Sir, I feel uneasy about escorting such a large amount of treasure alone. I beg you to escort me for a while."
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Ouyang Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Well, I'll escort Madam for a while. We'll leave after the Dongming enters the sea."
Shan Meixian raised her lips in a charming smile and ordered to weigh anchor and set sail. The Dongming turned the ship around and sailed downstream towards the mouth of the Yangtze River.
……
Ouyang Feng didn't want to rush and waste time, mainly because he couldn't let go of the matter of praying and refining the technique.
Although after he comes to the other world, no matter how long he stays in the "other world", the main world is only a moment and it will not delay the prayer, but the "transformation into a tiger" technique will be the first "transformation" technique he masters in his life. And what man has not envied Sun Wukong's ever-changing abilities when he was a child?
Even if there is only one transformation, and it is limited to turning into a tiger, at least I can experience the feeling of transformation.
So Ouyang Feng really only stayed on the Dongming for one night.
After escorting the Dongming into the sea, he returned to the main world and continued to guard the altar.
In addition to praying every day, he would continue to practice his various skills and martial arts, comprehend and organize his unique skills and integrate them into the Hunyuan Wuji Gong, or study the relics of the Xie Emperor to cultivate his mind.
Occasionally, he would use the Tongtian Baojian to take a look at Lian Xing, Shan Wanjing, and the situation in the "demon world".
The situation in the demon world is not very good.
He reflected himself almost every day, but he never saw a single person.
Various wild monsters with the characteristics of insects and animals can be seen one or two every other day.
Considering the mixed cold and evil aura in the demon world, where even replenishing one's true energy is risky, Ouyang Feng is very suspicious as to whether some unexpected events might have occurred in that world, and whether the "humanity" that is already infested with demons and ghosts and in turmoil might have completely collapsed.
Except for the three worlds that have been permanently opened.
Ouyang Feng would occasionally reflect on Yang Yuhuan's prosperous Tang Dynasty world.
As the Tongtian Spiritual Seeds in the prosperous Tang Dynasty world gradually mature, the images that the Tongtian Treasure Mirror can reflect are becoming clearer and clearer, and occasionally it can even reflect one or two "high-definition" scenes as if through a gauze curtain.
Although it still looked a little blurry, Ouyang Feng still felt relieved.
Because the day when the picture becomes completely clear will be the day when Sister Yuhuan's spiritual seed will be fully grown.
And that day is not far away.
Before we knew it, another month had passed and the eighty-one-day prayer ceremony was finally coming to an end.
That night, as Ouyang Feng completed his last bow, the altar shook slightly, and the tiger skin on it emitted a strange aura, giving people a strange feeling... that the tiger skin seemed to be coming alive.
This is of course just an illusion.
Tiger skin did not come back to life.
That strange aura only represents that the prayer was successful. The skin of the demon tiger can be considered a "semi-finished product".
The reason why it is only a "semi-finished product" is because the complete "tiger transformation" technique still requires a demonic energy to activate it.
And this evil spirit is now stored in Ouyang Feng's heart. It was extracted from the three bowls of tiger bone soup he drank every day for the past 81 days.
Before walking to the altar, Ouyang Feng made hand seals, urged the evil spirit to move forward, opened his mouth and spit out the evil spirit, which pounced onto the tiger skin. The tiger skin shook slightly again, becoming more alive, and the strange aura became more agile. At first glance, it looked as if a living tiger was lying there.
At this point, the demon tiger skin has been fully refined and can be used to perform the "transformation into a tiger" technique.
call……
Ouyang Feng took a deep breath, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The art of transformation!"
He raised his hand, grabbed the tiger skin, and put it on his body. As he thought about it, his body suddenly expanded and changed. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant tiger with a body that was about ten feet long, not including the tail.
Ouyang Feng raised his front paw and looked at the huge front paw that was as big as a washbasin. He walked around, fluttered and leaped for a while, and got familiar with the tiger's movements. Suddenly, he raised his huge paw and lightly slapped a half-man-high lying cow stone. With a bang, he broke half of the lying cow stone.
"This power... is much stronger than I am now."
Ouyang Feng suddenly turned around and swung his tail, which lashed out like a steel whip, smashing the intact half of the Lying Cow Stone into pieces. The stone fragments were still whistling and splashing out like cannonballs, knocking down a large area of trees not far away.
"Tsk, this is only 90% of the power of the tiger monster when it was alive. With such divine power, and a strong body that is hard to be injured by ordinary iron, and can even withstand the penetration of true qi, and a "Tiger Roaring Skill"... If I don't have the Blood Drinking Sword, it would be really difficult to kill it with my own martial arts." After playing for a long time, Ouyang Feng finally changed back to human form with a sense of unsatisfaction, thinking to himself: With my determination and cultivation, one transformation can last for ten days. After ten days, I have to cancel the transformation and rest for a day, otherwise I will be eroded by the demonic energy.
Ten days is more than enough time for exploration.
Of course, he had no plans to explore the demon world right now.
He must get the He Shi Bi no matter what, and then digest the evil emperor's relics. After improving his cultivation, he will go to explore the demon world.
Besides, the Tongtian Spiritual Seed in the Prosperous Tang World is about to mature, and he wants to go see Sister Yuhuan first.
Letting his thoughts fly, Ouyang Feng gently stroked the soft and warm tiger skin, recalling the feeling when he transformed into a giant tiger just now. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind:
It transforms into a tiger monster, and when it flutters and leaps, its muscles and bones seem to be in a strange pulsation state at all times. When it lies prone to breathe, there seems to be a strange rhythm that penetrates its lungs and bones?
I was so busy playing that I didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that I think about it, the pulsation of the muscles and bones, and the rhythm of breathing, seem to be worth studying carefully?
At that moment, Ouyang Feng put on the tiger skin again and turned into a giant tiger, leaping and flapping on Chaoyang Peak, waving his claws and swinging his tail.
When performing various movements, he not only paid attention to the movement of his muscles and bones, but also used the Tongtian Baojian to reflect them carefully.
After performing all the movements that the giant tiger form could do, Ouyang Feng lay prone again, took a deep breath, and felt the wonderful rhythm of his breathing that penetrated his lungs and bones, and still reflected it carefully with the Tongtian Treasure Mirror.
Lie down for a while, then stand up and exercise for a while, then lie down for a while again.
He went back and forth like this for the whole night, until the dawn of the next day, when he finally lay on the top of Chaoyang Peak in the form of a giant tiger, thinking:
When the tiger demon exercises, the pulsation of its tendons and bones seems to continuously strengthen them and increase its strength.
When lying prone, the strange breathing rhythm can constantly strengthen the internal organs and enhance their functions. It can also vibrate the bone marrow, comprehensively strengthen the bones, and also slowly increase your strength.
"So, this is how the tiger demon got its iron bones, powerful strength, and even huge voice? It can even get stronger while sleeping? Although this is just a natural talent of the tiger demon, if we can create a technique based on this... Tiger Demon Bone Refining? Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound?"
Ouyang Feng's tiger eyes became brighter and brighter.
The way he practices is to advance essence, energy and spirit simultaneously.
Now that "Qi" has the method of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth in the art of longevity, "Spirit" can also be enhanced while practicing innate true Qi, and Ouyang Feng himself has also developed a method of visualization to nourish and refine the spirit. After cultivating innate true Qi, the visualization method, which originally had little effect, has now become quite good. What's more, he can find superior methods of refining the spirit in the Double Dragon World to strengthen it in the future.
Only in the aspect of "essence", although Ouyang Feng has many external skills, he does not have any body training method that can match the Changsheng Jue.
Although the innate true qi of the Changsheng Jue can discover the secrets of the human body, develop human potential, and slowly improve the physical fitness, it is still weaker than the specialized body-refining exercises, so that his current "essence" practice is gradually lagging behind qi and spirit.
The masters in the Double Dragon world are actually in a similar situation to him.
No matter how high your skills are or how strong your mind is, your body is still very fragile.
"If we can develop 'Tiger Demon Bone Refining' and 'Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound', the shortcomings of this body refining method can be made up!"
Ouyang Feng was in high spirits. He maintained the form of a giant tiger and studied the various details reflected by the Tongtian Baojian in his sea of consciousness. He tried to figure out how to deduce two skills that could be practiced by humans based on the tiger monster's natural ability to strengthen its muscles, bones, and internal organs.
It's not impossible.
"Learning from nature" is the origin of human martial arts and even various ways of spiritual practice.
This "nature" includes the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, mountains, rivers, tall pines and strong bamboos, as well as tigers, leopards, lions, elephants, eagles, white cranes, poisonous snakes, mantises, and even fish swimming in the water.
In this case, even the tiger demon's talent for body refining can also become a way of practice for humans as long as the right path is found.
Just when Ouyang Feng was immersed in the deduction.
Lin Chaoying, who climbed to the top of Chaoyang Peak carrying a bamboo basket, saw at a glance the giant tiger lying on the edge of the cliff, seemingly lazily basking in the morning sun.
When Lin Chaoying first saw such a huge tiger, she was instinctively frightened.
But she quickly patted her chest and smiled to herself - with her current martial arts skills, no matter how big the tiger is, unless it is a spirit, how can it do anything to her?
It's nothing more than giving her a tiger skin.
However, it seems that what my husband has been practicing recently is a transformation technique? There is tiger skin on the altar, and he drinks tiger bone soup every day.
Lin Chaoying then tentatively called out to the tiger:
"Ouyang Feng?"
The tiger turned around, and a human-like smile appeared on its huge head. Then it stood up on its legs. Its huge body, more than ten feet tall, blocked the morning sun and cast a huge shadow, covering Lin Chaoying.
Just when Lin Chaoying was about to draw her sword nervously.
The giant tiger's body suddenly shrank and turned into the appearance of Ouyang Feng, with a tiger-skin cloak draped over its shoulders.
"Sister Lin." Ouyang Feng said with a smile: "Are you scared?"
"How could I be scared?"
Lin Chaoying first snorted proudly, then exclaimed:
"You actually mastered the art of transformation!"
At this moment, she became more and more convinced that Ouyang Feng was the reincarnation of a god and had awakened his innate wisdom.
Ouyang Feng smiled modestly:
"It's not some particularly powerful transformation technique. It can only turn into a tiger."
"That's also very impressive! Besides, the tiger you transformed into is a little too huge! It's bigger than the biggest buffalo I've ever seen!"
She had long been accustomed to his strangeness, otherwise Lin Chaoying felt that she would be so excited that she would be incoherent.
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"The most significant significance of this tiger transformation technique is not that it gives me a transformation technique. I transformed into a tiger last night, but I learned something from the tiger's body. Sister Lin, you are also good at creating skills, so it's a good opportunity for you to discuss it with me."
Lin Chaoying cannot transform into a tiger - refining the demonic energy and praying to the stars were all done by Ouyang Feng alone, and only when the demonic tiger skin is put on him can the technique of "transforming into a tiger" be performed.
Therefore, Lin Chaoying was unable to experience the feeling of strengthening her muscles, bones, and internal organs with her tiger body.
However, Ouyang Feng had already used the "Mirror of All Heavens" to record the details of the tiger demon's movement rhythm and breathing rhythm, so he could describe her in detail. For some things that were unclear, he could transform into a giant tiger on the spot and let her touch it with her own hands, or even input her true energy to feel the details of the tiger's muscles and bones moving, as well as the details of the sound waves vibrating the lungs and bones when breathing.
Although this is not as clear and profound as Ouyang Feng's first-person experience, it can also give him about 50% to 60% of the feeling, which is enough for Lin Chaoying to get inspiration and make useful suggestions.
At that moment, Ouyang Feng even forgot to eat breakfast and discussed with Lin Chaoying until noon.
It was not until Lin Chaoying accidentally caught a glimpse of the bamboo basket and remembered that she was here to deliver breakfast that she shook her head helplessly and said:
"Okay, stop for a while. You didn't sleep last night because you were studying the technique, and you even forgot to eat breakfast. How can you stay healthy if you keep doing this? Now that you have mastered the art of transformation, let's go down the mountain. The pharmacist will also be out of retreat soon, and then the three of us will discuss it together. You should be able to create your 'Tiger Demon Bone Refining and Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound' more quickly."
Ouyang Feng nodded and smiled, "Okay."
He immediately put away the altar and tiger skin, and went down the mountain hand in hand with Lin Chaoying.
