Chapter 169-172, The Queen of Heaven Riding a Tiger, Touring the City to Show Her Power
early morning.
A gentle voice of a Taoist girl came from outside the door:
"Master, breakfast is ready."
Still with Ouyang Feng, Yang Yuhuan said in a leisurely voice:
"No need. I'm very tired today and want to sleep a little longer, so I don't need to have breakfast. I'll have lunch later."
Apart from a slightly lazy voice, there was nothing unusual in her tone, showing Sister Yuhuan's profound concentration.
"Yes, real person."
Listening to the footsteps of the female Taoist child fading away outside the door, Yang Yuhuan narrowed her eyes, and a soft singing like sobbing escaped from her nose, and she continued her practice with Ouyang Feng.
It was not until noon that Yang Yuhuan, who had finally eaten and drunk her fill, finished her practice contentedly. She was a little intimate with Ouyang Feng for a while, then went to bed to dress up.
Ouyang Feng also picked up the pieces of clothes that were scattered on the ground last night, and took out a new set of clothes from the storage talisman and put them on.
Then he walked to the dressing table and looked at the beautiful woman who had her hair in a bun but was still naked.
After looking for a while, he couldn't help but walk behind her and lean over her back.
Yang Yuhuan's body trembled slightly, she turned her head and kissed him lightly, saying in a tender voice:
"Don't worry, go out and show yourself during lunch, and I'll serve you well when you come back."
Ouyang Feng chuckled, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said:
"Okay. I'll wait for you here."
"Wait for me? No, you come out with me."
"Oh? Sister Yuhuan, aren't you afraid?"
"If I wasn't worried about implicating my relatives, I wouldn't be afraid of anyone. Now that you're here again, what else do I have to be afraid of?"
Since Yang Yuhuan was not afraid, the lawless Ouyang Feng was naturally even more fearless.
So after Yang Yuhuan finished dressing up and changed into Taoist robes, he went downstairs with her to have lunch.
The several female Taoist children serving downstairs saw Taizhen Zhenren coming downstairs with a tall, upright, and heroic young man, holding hands and being very intimate. They all widened their eyes in shock.
But soon they consciously lowered their heads, with their chins pressed tightly against their chests, their eyes looking at their noses and their noses looking at their hearts, not daring to look around.
As Taoist children of Taizhen Palace, they know best how terrifying Taizhen is.
Don't be fooled by her delicate and tender appearance, her slender hands can easily break bricks, and her pair of delicate feet with skin as delicate as a baby's can even kick an iron ball weighing dozens of kilograms as if it were a hydrangea.
With a casual leap, he could reach a height of three meters, and with a single step, he could reach a distance of more than four meters.
In the eyes of the female Taoist children in Taizhen Palace, Taizhen Zhenren is a true cultivator who has mastered the "immortal art" and has her own reasons for everything she does.
Moreover, men were not allowed to enter or leave Taizhen Palace, and no strangers came in yesterday. But today, a man in white suddenly came down from upstairs and was so intimate with Taizhen.
The female Taoist children thought that this person was probably a person who had truly achieved the Tao and was an "immortal friend" of Taizhen Zhenren. They could not afford to offend him, and they could not even say a word to him. Even looking at him for a second would bring disaster upon them.
Yang Yuhuan was very satisfied to see that the Taoist boys were so considerate. At the same time, she also felt a sense of relief that she had finally revealed her lover to the public.
After lunch, the two returned upstairs. Ouyang Feng did not wait to continue his absurd behavior, but talked to her about the serious matters of cultivation.
"The previous 'Tai Zhen Tian Fei Jue' can only keep one's youthful appearance, but its effect in prolonging life is quite limited. Next, it needs to be improved a bit more before one can truly embark on the path to immortality."
Ouyang Feng told Yang Yuhuan about the wonders of innate true energy, and taught her the method of longevity to sense the essence of heaven and earth. He asked her to perform it on the spot to sense the essence of heaven and earth that matched her.
Yang Yuhuan followed the instructions, felt it, and opened her eyes in surprise:
"I can sense the essence of heaven and earth! The essence that best matches me is the Yin attribute!"
Ouyang Feng was not surprised at all.
Her aptitude for bone was already excellent, and with the company of the Tongtian Spirit Seed for four years, her aptitude for bone had improved imperceptibly. Last night, she took a drop of precious nectar, which further improved her aptitude. Naturally, it was no problem for her to sense the essence of heaven and earth.
He then taught her the method of guiding the longevity secret, refining the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the sixth yin-attributed picture among the seven pictures.
Last night, during a halftime break, Ouyang Feng had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, refined and analyzed it, and determined that the activity level of the essence of heaven and earth in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty world was not as high as that in the World of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but slightly higher than that in the main world.
This level of activity, which is between the main world and the double dragon world, is actually more friendly to cultivation.
Not only can it be directly refined without dispersing the power, but the refining process is neither as difficult as in the main world nor as dangerous as in the Double Dragon World.
With the activity level of the essence of heaven and earth in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, as long as Yang Yuhuan could refine a wisp of the essence of heaven and earth and cultivate a trace of innate true qi as a trigger, it would only take a month at most for her to transform all the true qi of "Taizhen Tianfei Jue" into innate true qi.
The facts were just as Ouyang Feng expected.
It only took Yang Yuhuan one day and one night to successfully refine a wisp of the essence of heaven and earth and cultivate a trace of innate true qi.
This practice efficiency is much higher than when Ouyang Feng first refined the first trace of innate true qi in the main world.
Ouyang Feng originally planned that she would continue practicing until the day she attended the "Furong Garden" lecture conference.
Unexpectedly, after refining the first trace of innate true qi, she stopped, pounced on Ouyang Feng again, and played crazy with him all night long. Until the next morning, she looked full and satisfied, with tears in her eyes, and continued to refine the essence of heaven and earth.
Of course, this does not actually affect cultivation.
So in the next few days, Yang Yuhuan enjoyed herself with Ouyang Feng at night and practiced hard during the day. The efficiency of converting her innate true qi was not slowed down at all. It was not known whether it was because the conditions in this world were slightly better than those in the main world, or because of the bonus of dual cultivation.
Time flies, and it seems like just a blink of an eye, and the day of the Furong Garden Lecture Conference has arrived.
That morning, just as the sky was getting light, a horse-drawn carriage arrived at the main gate of Taizhen Palace. Four Yulin soldiers wearing full sets of Ming Guang armor followed the carriage.
A middle-aged eunuch with a white face and no beard, holding a whisk, got off the carriage and knocked on the gate of Taizhen Palace.
"Who is it?" A gentle and clear female voice came from behind the door.
The eunuch replied in the eunuch's unique feminine voice:
"Our Junior Supervisor Cao Ziqing, under the order of the Holy Emperor, has come to welcome Taoist Taizhen to the Furong Garden Dharma Assembly."
"Young Master Cao, please wait a moment. The master is dressing up and will be here soon."
Cao Shaoqing nodded with a smile, retreated back to the carriage and waited quietly.
After waiting for a while, Cao Shaoqing suddenly heard several female voices exclaiming from the palace gate. He was slightly startled. Just as he was wondering, he saw the palace gate creak and slowly open. Then a beautiful woman holding a whisk, wearing a lotus crown on her head, wearing a brocade cloud Taoist robe, with a charming face, like a celestial concubine banished to the mortal world, walked out of the door calmly.
When he saw the female priest, even though Cao Shaoqing was a eunuch, his eyes lit up.
The four imperial guards stared at each other with their eyes wide open, their breathing held.
But soon, Cao Shaoqing and the four Yulin soldiers no longer had time to admire the stunning beauty of the nun.
Because following closely behind the nun, a gigantic, spotted tiger stepped lightly and silently out of the palace gate.
Looking at the tiger, which was even bigger than the largest buffalo, Cao Shaoqing's face turned pale. Then his legs went limp and he sat on the ground. He opened his mouth to shout, but his whole body was shaking and no sound came out.
Those four Yulin armored soldiers were not much better than him.
They were all so frightened that their hair stood on end, and they were trembling with fear. They held the handles of their swords, but they were unable to draw them out of the sheaths. The only thing they had more courage than the eunuchs was that they had not been paralyzed by fear, and they could still lean against the carriage and barely stand.
As for the two chestnut horses pulling the cart, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees, unable to move.
Yang Yuhuan glanced at the eunuchs and imperial guards who were so frightened that their faces turned pale. A smug smile flashed across her eyes, but her face remained calm as she said calmly:
"This is a giant tiger warrior summoned by this Taoist with the power of Taoism. It is very spiritual and will not hurt anyone at will. Don't be afraid."
As she spoke, she leaped up and sat sideways on the giant tiger's back. She held the tiger's neck with her slender hands and said calmly:
"I know where Hibiscus Garden is, so I won't need you to lead the way."
After saying this, he gently patted the giant tiger's neck, and the giant tiger spread out its four paws, walking towards the outside of Taizhen Palace with light, silent, and domineering tiger steps.
Only after watching Yang Yuhuan riding away on the tiger did Cao Shaoqing come back to his senses and said in a trembling voice:
"Quick! Send someone to report to His Majesty that Yang Taizhen rode a giant mountain king..."
He did send the message, but the four imperial guards were also so frightened that their legs and feet went limp, so how could they have the energy to report it?
……
To get from Taizhen Palace to Furong Garden, there is no need to go through the streets in a blatant manner; one can take the Jiacheng built by Li Longji during his lifetime.
This double city wall is nearly sixteen miles long and about seventeen feet wide. It leads directly from the Daming Palace to the Furong Garden. It was originally built by Li Longji for his own enjoyment of the garden. Unfortunately, it was just built not long ago and before he could enjoy the results, it was destroyed by Ouyang Feng, allowing Li Heng to take advantage of it.
Yang Yuhuan rode on the giant tiger transformed by Ouyang Feng, leisurely walking in Jiacheng and heading towards Furong Garden, feeling a little regretful.
How great would it be if she could ride a giant tiger and parade through the streets, letting the people of Chang'an see how majestic Yang Taizhen is?
I guarantee that from now on, people in Chang'an and even the whole world will worship her as a goddess and be in awe of her. No fly will dare to harass or bother her anymore.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Feng might not agree with the idea of parading a tiger through the streets, because it would disturb the public too much and might scare many people.
Fortunately, there were many imperial guards inside the Jiacheng City, and many princes and nobles were riding in their own carriages to pass through Furong Garden.
Seeing Yang Yuhuan coming riding on a tiger, even the bravest guards of the Imperial Guards were stunned and unable to recover for a long time.
Those who were less courageous were so frightened that they froze in place, unable to move, and even unable to hold their weapons.
As for the carriages of the princes and nobles, there was no chance to even scare the horses. All the horses collapsed to the ground, scared half to death, as soon as they came into contact with the giant tiger's breath.
The princes and nobles in the carriage huddled in the carriage and trembled, until the giant tiger passed them and walked forward, and only then did they calm down a little.
"Where did the giant tiger come from? How could there be such a huge tiger in Daming Palace?"
"Where are the Imperial Guards? What are they doing? How can they let such a big tiger show off here? What if someone gets hurt?"
"That tiger has an owner. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary tiger..."
"Do you have a master?"
"Yes, there seems to be a female priest riding on the tiger's back. Judging from her appearance, she seems to be the most beautiful woman of her time, Yang Taizhen."
"Yang Taizhen, riding a giant tiger? What's going on?"
"I'm afraid Yang Taizhen has really succeeded in her cultivation! I've heard rumors before that Yang Taizhen has the ability to fly into the sky and hide underground. With a casual leap, she can climb over the city wall. Her hands and feet can even break monuments and split rocks, and even split gold and jade..."
"I've heard this rumor before, but I always thought it was nonsense. I never thought... she could even tame and ride such a mighty tiger! It seems the rumor is true!"
Although Yang Yuhuan had ridden the tiger a long way away, with her current level of cultivation and the power of her ears, she could still hear the discussions far behind her. She couldn't help feeling even more proud, with a smug smile on her face.
When they were about to reach Hibiscus Garden, a team of heavily armored guards suddenly appeared in front of them, with powerful crossbows strung, large shields erected, and long spears like a forest, looking ready for battle.
However, a brave guard took off his armor and rushed over to report that Taoist Taizhen was coming riding on a giant tiger.
Although the general who received the news thought this was simply a fairy tale, because the emperor stayed in Furong Garden last night and was also in Furong Garden at this time, for the sake of the emperor's safety, the general of the imperial guards did not dare to be negligent. He quickly selected two hundred imperial guards and chose an open area to be ready for battle. Unexpectedly, he really saw a tiger with a rider slowly approaching.
At a distance, the imperial guards could hardly tell the size of the tiger, and they did not think it was unusual - what was a mere tiger? Two hundred armored imperial guards, what beast in the world could not be killed? Even if a dragon came to land, I am afraid it would be skinned alive.
But as the tiger got closer and closer, the guards gradually saw the size of the tiger, and all of them felt their scalps tingling and their faces changed slightly.
Such a huge tiger is simply unheard of!
The commander of the imperial guards was very brave. Although he was shocked by the size of the giant tiger, he was still fearless. He was about to speak to boost the morale of his guards, but he accidentally made an eye contact with the giant tiger that was slowly approaching. Some kind of invisible pressure instantly gripped his heart, making his courage disappear. He turned pale and his body was shaky.
The most valiant generals had become like this, and the rest of the imperial guards were even worse. The tiger didn't even roar, but just glanced lightly with its eyes, and the imperial guards were like being struck by lightning, and they all froze and didn't move.
Afterwards, the tiger leisurely came to the front of the imperial guards formation, pressed the ground with its four claws, leaped up, and flew over the imperial guards formation carrying Yang Yuhuan, then calmly walked into the Hibiscus Garden.
this day.
The story of Taoist Taizhen Yang Yuhuan riding a tiger to tour the Hibiscus Garden spread throughout Chang'an.
It is said that the tiger is not only huge, but also invulnerable to swords and spears. It can withstand the sniping of bows and crossbows, the hacking of swords and axes, and the stabbing of spears without any damage. It is also extremely powerful, and can crush huge rocks with one swing of its claws.
There was also the soul-stirring tiger roar. With just one roar, he easily broke the Vajra Warrior summoned by the Buddhist monk Bukong Sanzang, and shattered the golden armored magic soldiers summoned by the Taoist master Luo Gongyuan.
There was even a rumor circulating secretly that a certain important person who could not be mentioned was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot...
