Chapter 167-170, The goddess meets her soulmate, the prosperous Tang Dynasty spirit seed is born
Just as he was concentrating on comprehending the skills, he was trying to integrate the "Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Method" of cultivating the Taoist Demon Yuan Shen into his own mind method.
Suddenly, a pleasant flute sound was heard.
The sound of the flute is light and lively, like a beautiful bird flying in the woods and singing happily, which makes people feel relaxed and cheerful. There is even a vague illusion in front of the eyes, as if you really see the beautiful bird flying through the woods.
Hearing the sound of music and seeing the vision, this is the mystery of Ouyang Feng's music skills.
Just like You Niaojuan and others from the Xieji Sect, when they heard the sound of Ouyang Feng's zither, they were instantly mesmerized, and in a trance they felt as if they were on the battlefield, watching "with their own eyes" the cavalry charging, advancing like a wall, and rushing towards them madly.
The reason why it has such a powerful hallucinogenic ability is that Ouyang Feng’s sonic power has also incorporated the essence of the "life-seeking Sanskrit sound".
The sound skills method he created was based on the essence of several superior sound skills taught to him by Shi Qingxuan, and incorporated with it the key points of sound-related special techniques such as "Dragon Subduing Sound", "Tiger Roaring Skill", and "Life-Calling Sanskrit Sound". It is a powerful method that combines attacking the mind with physical damage.
In order to practice this sound skill, one must have extremely high attainments in music and talent.
Shi Qingxuan's musical attainments have already reached a level of harmony with nature and touching the heart and soul, and his skills are close to Taoism.
Now that I have learned Ouyang Feng's sound power, I can put it into practice after a little understanding.
Listening to Shi Qingxuan's flute music, Ouyang Feng got up and went outside, following the sound of the flute.
After taking more than a hundred steps, the sound of gurgling water came into my ears and I saw a winding, clear stream. Beside the stream stood a large tree with lush branches and leaves. Its towering canopy completely covered a section of the stream.
Shi Qingxuan was sitting on a smooth bluestone by the stream under a tree. She was barefoot, and she dipped her crystal clear feet into the stream, gently paddling the water.
She held the bamboo flute in both hands and played the moving flute music leisurely. A small bird, as transparent as water waves, sometimes circled around her, sometimes flew into the tree canopy, jumped between branches, pecking at insects, combing feathers, singing and so on.
Although this bird is transparent throughout, between reality and illusion, its movements and even expressions are lifelike, as if it were a real creature.
It even attracted real birds, many of which jumped around it, flew with it, sang for it, and showed their great hospitality.
Looking at the little bird, Ouyang Feng raised the corners of his lips and revealed a happy smile.
Because that transparent little bird was formed by Shi Qingxuan's attainment in music that was close to the Tao and the unity of man and nature, and the skills taught by Ouyang Feng, by drawing the essence of heaven and earth.
Not only does it look lifelike and can cause hallucinations, but its tiny body also contains amazing energy, which can impact the enemy like Ouyang Feng's sound power and cause actual physical damage to the enemy.
However, Shi Qingxuan's skills were far inferior to Ouyang Feng's after all. She could not produce the endless and continuous sound energy like Ouyang Feng. For the time being, she could only produce this little bird of energy.
However, in terms of liveliness, agility, and subtle control, this little bird created by Shi Qingxuan is superior to Ouyang Feng's sonic energy.
After all, she is a true master of music. Music is what she loves and pursues, while martial arts is just a secondary subject.
Ouyang Feng, on the other hand, was just the opposite. He had a persistent pursuit of martial arts and Taoism, but only dabbled in music as a means to demonstrate his strength.
However, even though Ouyang Feng was not as passionate about music as Shi Qingxuan, he could not help but be infected by her flute sound. He immediately sat cross-legged on a large rock, took out the iron zither, placed it across his knees, and plucking it with his five fingers. Where the flute sounded, it was like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, as if the cloudless sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, lightning, thunder, and strong winds.
Shi Qingxuan's flute sound changed and she responded to him.
As the sound of the flute changes, the spirited little bird seems to soar in the gale, flying through the rain clouds, fighting the storm, and amid the thunder and lightning, with supreme courage, it shows its determination to pursue beauty and freedom without fear of any harsh environment.
After a while, the sound of Ouyang Feng's zither changed slowly. Gradually, the thunder and lightning stopped, the rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, the strong wind turned into a gentle breeze, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.
The spirited little birds fly freely in the fresh blue sky after the rain, singing loudly, attracting many other birds to sing along, composing a wonderful song of nature praising life and nature.
When the song ended, the bird's spirit dispersed into the spirit of heaven and earth and returned to nature. The other birds also scattered and returned to the forest.
Shi Qingxuan put down the bamboo flute and showed Ouyang Feng a charming smile as pure and innocent as a little girl.
Ouyang Feng also nodded slightly and smiled back.
Next, Shi Qingxuan played the bamboo flute again, producing an ethereal flute tune. The sound of the flute was so pleasant to his ears that Ouyang Feng seemed to see a flying goddess descending from the sky, dancing gracefully with colorful streamers floating in the air.
So he plucked the strings of the zither again. When the zither sounded, it seemed as if a god in golden armor descended from the sky and danced with the flying goddess with an ancient and majestic war dance.
Shi Qingxuan smiled, and the sound of the flute became lively and playful.
Ouyang Feng also changed the tune, and the rhythm of the flutes became more harmonious.
They both opened their minds at the same time, allowing the music to touch their hearts. Then, a scene that seemed real and illusory appeared before their eyes. It was as if they "saw" with their own eyes the god in golden armor standing in the clouds, with one hand raised high, palm facing up, as if holding up the sky.
The flying goddess landed on his palm, tapped his large hand lightly with her soft bare feet, and danced gracefully in his palm.
After one song, another one follows.
This continued until night fell, when the moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto the two of them. Only then did they stop the harmonious music of the zither and flute that had lasted for so long.
In this ensemble, with the mutual improvement of the zheng and the flute, the musical skills of the two have been greatly improved, and even their spiritual cultivation has been greatly enhanced.
Shi Qingxuan quietly felt the changes in herself, her clear and beautiful gemstone-like eyes stared at Ouyang Feng without blinking, and suddenly she smiled playfully:
"Didn't Grandmaster Ouyang say that he had no interest in music? How come he has such amazing musical attainments?"
Ouyang Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe I don't have fancy skills, but the music I play is full of emotion. Or maybe I have amazing talent? Extraordinary?"
Shi Qingxuan chuckled, and her smile was like fine wine, intoxicating people.
"The Grandmaster is really good at boasting. However, he has no interest in music and doesn't even mind hitting people with his musical instrument, but he still has such amazing musical attainments. The Grandmaster's talent in music is indeed extraordinary. What a pity, it would be better if you specialized in music?"
Ouyang Feng said: "If I specialize in music, you should take me as your master."
Shi Qingxuan thought about it, two small and delicate dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she nodded pretentiously:
"That's right. If you specialize in music, your attainments in music will surely reach the level of a saint. With Qingxuan's love for music, she might really want to take you as her teacher. Now..."
"How is it now?"
"Now……"
Shi Qingxuan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes drooped, and the light in her beautiful eyes was gentle and graceful. "The way it is now, it's actually quite good."
His musical attainments are even higher, and he is her predecessor and teacher.
And now, the two of them can play in perfect harmony, learn from each other, and sharpen each other, just like a soulmate meeting a kindred spirit.
Thinking of this, Shi Qingxuan raised her eyelids again and glanced at Ouyang Feng. She saw the young man in white under the hazy moonlight. The sternness, indifference, and cruelty that he had when he killed people in the small temple were gone. Instead, he became quiet, natural, peaceful and gentle.
When the evening breeze blew on him, his snow-white robe and black hair fluttered in the wind, revealing a somewhat ethereal aura, which made Shi Qingxuan blush slightly. She quickly retracted her gaze, staring at her feet that were immersed in the stream and gently splashing water, and said:
"Since the four disciples of the Evil Extreme Sect have been eliminated by Master Ouyang, Qingxuan has also been relieved of a heavy burden thanks to Master Ouyang. Next, I will return to Shuzhong. But I wonder where Master Ouyang will go next?"
"I plan to go back to Luoyang first."
"Is that so..." Shi Qingxuan felt a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mind and said:
"Young Master, you have taught me the skills that are enough to enter the Dao, and I should give you something in return. I wonder when you will be free to go to Shu? Qingxuan's family has collected several martial arts techniques given by the predecessors, and I have always wanted to entrust them to someone who is worthy of entrusting them. With your sincerity in martial arts and your righteous deeds of punishing evildoers and eliminating evil, it is just right to give those martial arts techniques to you."
Ouyang Feng certainly knew that Shi Qingxuan had the complete "Immortal Seal" in his hands.
There is also the "Sun-Changing Technique" that the tyrant swordsman Yue Shan obtained by using his famous swordsmanship.
Both of these skills can be considered top-notch skills that can give him inspiration and enhance his martial arts foundation.
At the moment, he nodded:
"Don't worry, Qingxuan. When I have time in the future, I will go to Shu in person to find you."
Shi Qingxuan smiled happily, "Then it's settled!"
As he spoke, he told Ouyang Feng in detail the location of his residence, which was located deep in the hidden mountains.
Then until midnight, the two continued to discuss music by the stream.
Shi Qingxuan mostly talked about the music itself, but Ouyang Feng would always change the topic to musical skills, which made Shi Qingxuan both angry and amused.
After midnight, they returned to the cabin in the woods. Shi Qingxuan arranged a guest room for Ouyang Feng, and then the two of them went to rest.
The next morning, the two said goodbye. Shi Qingxuan dressed in green and put on some makeup, disguising herself as a scholar in male clothing with rough, dark skin who did not look like a woman. She hung a long sword from her waist and floated away towards the Yangtze River.
Ouyang Feng moved his mind, locked onto Shan Wanjing's spiritual seed, and instantly returned to Luoyang City from Lujiang County.
This trip to the world of Double Dragon was a complete success.
He fought a great battle with Bi Xuan and successfully took a half step towards the realm above the Grand Master. He defeated the Martial Honored Bi Xuan and obtained the essence of the Yan Yang Dafa. He also successfully obtained the Dao Xin Zhong Mo Dafa. He also met Shi Qingxuan by chance and was inspired by her to improve his sound skills.
The most important thing is to sort out one's own practice system and have a clearer practice goal.
Next, it’s time to return to the main world to deal with some things and digest the experience of this visit.
But he was in no hurry to leave.
After returning to Luoyang, he first summoned Dugu Feng to examine the cultivation results of the first disciple of the Twin Dragon World during the time he was away. Feeling quite satisfied, he gave her some pointers and passed on the relatively safe "Lightning Body Art" to her - it was only relatively safe, because if she didn't have enough talent and spiritual cultivation, she would still be prone to losing control and getting injured.
However, with Dugu Feng's talent and spiritual cultivation, he is able to safely master this technique.
After passing on the skills, he asked Dugu Feng to figure it out on his own, while he asked Shan Meixian:
"Have the sword and spear been repaired?"
Before leaving Luoyang and heading south to Lujiang County, he gave the Snowflake Iron Knife and Moon Wolf Spear to Shan Meixian, asking her to help repair them, and also gave her a piece of black iron chain as repair material.
During the time he was away, Shan Meixian rented a blacksmith shop and worked together with Shan Wanjing to forge iron. With the help of the Dongming School's secret smelting techniques, they actually repaired the Snowflake Iron Knife and the Moon Wolf Spear.
Hearing Ouyang Feng's question, Shan Meixian nodded to Shan Wanjing, who then went out excitedly and soon came back with the snowflake iron knife. As for the Moon Wolf Spear, Bai Qing'er carried it.
"Look, sir. Both the sword and the spear have been successfully repaired. Because of the addition of the black iron you gave me, the sword and the spear have become a little heavier, but they are also tougher and sharper."
Ouyang Feng took the snowflake iron knife, which had become slightly duller and weighed more than ten pounds. He flicked the blade lightly, listened to the pleasant humming, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, the broken knife has been restored to its original state, and the quality has been slightly improved. Madam and Wanjing's craftsmanship is really superb."
Shan Meixianling pursed her lips and smiled sweetly:
"After all, blacksmithing is the skill that enabled me to make a living. Even though I have lived a comfortable life, I have never given it up."
Ouyang Feng took over the Moon Wolf Spear, whose weight had increased to 108 kilograms, looked at the spear head, tested its sturdiness and sharpness, and nodded in approval.
Shan Wanjing leaned against him with a blushing face and asked in a tender voice:
"Sir, my mother and I have been busy in the blacksmith shop these days to repair these two weapons. Our skin is almost scorched by the fire, and our hands are almost calloused. We work so hard, how do you plan to reward us?"
Ouyang Feng smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, I will reward you well..."
The reward he gave that night naturally made Shan Wanjing and Shan Meixian very satisfied.
The next day, he returned to the main world, accompanied Lin Chaoying for a few days, and then took Wang Wu back to the Western Regions.
This autumn, Gaochang Kingdom will launch an offensive against Western Xia.
Of course, he would personally participate in this battle. Wang Wu would also serve as a vanguard general and participate in the battle.
As for Lin Chaoying, her martial arts and temperament were not suitable for such a war, so she stayed in Huashan to take care of the sect.
On the way, Ouyang Feng saw that Wang Wu's Tiger Demon Bone Refining and Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound were progressing rapidly and his physique was becoming stronger, so he passed on the Lightning Body Shining Art to him.
The master and disciple traveled a thousand miles a day, and in less than five days, they had returned to the Western Regions.
It was still the end of summer, the autumn harvest had not yet begun, and the offensive was still being prepared.
Ouyang Feng threw Wang Wu into the Wolf Cavalry Army and asked him to train with the Wolf Cavalry's selected elite assault troops. He then recruited craftsmen and set up a secret camp in the White Camel Villa, where he developed guns, cannons and gunpowder using the tiger squat cannon and flintlock rifle made by Huang Yaoshi as samples.
Of course, this is just for future technical preparation.
Even if he could make guns and cannons before the war, in order to prevent leaks, Ouyang Feng had no intention of using them in the war to destroy Western Xia. These were learned by Jin and Song, two great countries with huge populations, abundant resources, developed productivity, and practical firearms but lacking the correct concepts.
He now possesses the strongest army in the world, and is invincible in cold weapon combat. Although he has a small number of troops, he can easily conquer a small country like Western Xia.
What this army fears most is firearms.
Because a musket, even in the hands of a farmer who has just learned how to operate it, can easily kill a master who has practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, the Horizontal Iron Armor, the Rock-Breaking Gun, and the Iron-Cutting Five Styles for years with a single shot in the chaos of a battlefield, and a cannon can even more easily wipe out a large area with a single shot of a shotgun.
Therefore, until the same abundant human and material resources are mastered, productivity is greatly improved, and the army is replaced by ordinary soldiers, it is better to keep firearms hidden.
Just when the expedition was proceeding in an intensive and orderly manner.
One night at the beginning of autumn.
In Ouyang Feng's sea of consciousness, the Tongtian Baojian suddenly flashed with crystal light, and a message appeared on the mirror, which immediately made Ouyang Feng very happy.
The all-powerful spiritual seed of the prosperous Tang Dynasty world has finally grown completely!
