Chapter 217 222, The Whereabouts of the Queen of Yin, Immortality Seal Shuzhong, Chengdu. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and war was raging, looking around the world, the land of Bashu was almost the only place where large-scale war had not broken out. Although after Guangshen's death, local martial arts forces drove out Sui court officials and started to govern themselves, from beginning to end, there were no separatist warlords like in other places. The three major martial arts forces, Duzunbao, Sichuan Gang and Bameng, agreed that the three would jointly maintain peace, stabilize the situation in Bashu, and wait for a wise leader to emerge, so they all voted for the wise leader. For this reason, when Ouyang Feng and his party arrived in Chengdu, what they saw was a prosperous city that was almost more peaceful than Chang'an, without any signs of war damage. After wandering around Chengdu for half a day and buying a large amount of Shu brocade and local specialties, Ouyang Feng and his party found a restaurant and booked a single-family guest house to stay in. Afterwards, Bai Qing'er left the hotel to find out information about the secret base of the Yingui Sect in the local area. Half an hour later. When Ouyang Feng was instructing Dugu Feng and Shan Wanjing in swordsmanship in the guest courtyard, Bai Qing'er hurried back to report: "Master, my master is in Shu now." "Oh? Why did Queen Yin come to Shu?"
"Li Tang appointed Li Xiaogong as the Shannan Road Ambassador to visit Bashu and pacify the locals. Because Li Tang had pacified the Xue family of Western Qin and stabilized Guanzhong, even the Dugu clan and Li Mi had joined Li Tang. Li Tang's power was growing day by day, and it had a hidden hope of conquering the world. The three major forces in the Bashu martial arts world seemed to have been shaken, and wanted to bring Bashu to join Li Tang..." "So, the Queen of Yin is here to cause trouble?" "Well, yes. Li Xiaogong's attempt to pacify Bashu was supported by Cihang Jingzhai. Shi Feixuan also came to Shu in person to lobby the three major forces including Duzun Fort. Master didn't want to see Bashu fall into Li Tang's control so easily, so he also led a team to Shu." Ouyang Feng knew that the force supported by the Yingui Sect was Jiujiang Lin Shihong, a disciple of the Yingui Sect elder “Cloud and Rain Dual Cultivation” Bi Shouxuan. Although Lin Shihong's "Great Chu" power cannot reach Bashu at all at present, if Bashu falls into the hands of Li Tang, then Li Tang, which controls Guanzhong and Bashu, can reproduce the momentum of the initial rise of the Han Dynasty and truly present a sign of unification from the geographical situation. This will naturally have a huge impact on the people's hearts and minds across the world. Of course, the Yingui Sect does not want to see this situation. Even though the Yingui Faction has always lacked strategic vision and had few military and political talents, and could not help Lin Shihong in military and political administration, it still had some ability to cause sabotage and hinder other forces. Bai Qinger continued: "The Song clan in Lingnan also doesn't want to see Li Tang gain power. It is said that Song Que's brother, the 'Earth Sword' Song Zhi, has personally led a team to Shu to persuade Du Zunbao not to serve Li Tang. Xie Hui of Du Zunbao is Song Que's sworn brother, and his only son Xie Wenlong married Song Que's eldest daughter Song Yuhua. They are both brothers and in-laws. Du Zunbao is likely to be persuaded by the Song clan." Ouyang Feng glanced at Bai Qing'er and thought to himself, Qing'er, you are too young and don't understand the value of being an old dog licker. It is true that Jie Hui is Song Que's sworn brother and relative-in-law, but he is also a senior bootlicker of Cihang Jingci Fan Qinghui. Even though he didn't lick even a single toe in the end, Song Que had to stand aside since Cihang Jingzhai stepped in. Song Que overestimated his importance in the eyes of his brothers and relatives. If he were to take action personally, Xie Hui might still hesitate and struggle because of his quickness and ruthlessness. They only sent Song Zhi to lobby, which meant he was destined to be sold out by Jie Hui. Therefore, not only is Song Que's level of raising his children poor, but his vision of people is also hard to describe. "Shi Feixuan helped Li Xiaogong lobby the Bashu martial arts forces, and then she sabotaged them. So she wanted to kill Shi Feixuan?" "Of course it would be best if we could kill her, but Shi Feixuan is a match for Senior Sister Qian, and Master will not bully the weak. Besides, it's not that easy to kill Shi Feixuan. She is now staying at Dashi Temple. It is said that Master Zhenyan, the guardian of the Buddhist mountain gate, and even the four great monks have appeared near Dashi Temple. There is also the amorous young man Hou Xibai, as well as the masters of the Sichuan Gang, Bashu, and Duzun Fort, who are all protecting her like the moon surrounded by stars."
Tsk, the younger generation of bootlickers has appeared again. Unfortunately, these dogs who bootlick Shi Feixuan don’t know that the successor of Cihang Jingzhai is well-known for only loving strong and handsome bad men. The more you hold her in high esteem, respect her, and love her, the less you will get. "It seems that the Queen of Yin is afraid of Zhenyan and the four great saints. She is worried that if she uses her power to bully the weak and personally deal with Shi Feixuan, the Buddhist sect will follow suit and send out Zhenyan and the four great saints to deal with Wan Wan..." "Well, Master, although the Master is also a Yin Gui demon girl, he still has some master-like demeanor." Seeing Bai Qing'er's resentful face, Ouyang Feng chuckled and said: "Since Queen Yin is in Shu, I'll have to trouble Qing'er to help me find her and ask about the news of the Great Ming Sect." "Yes, Master." After a night's rest, the next morning, Bai Qing'er went out to look for Queen Yin, while Ouyang Feng left the city alone and went to Shi Qingxuan's "Youlin Cottage". Shi Qingxuan had told Ouyang Feng the location of Youlin Cottage, which was in a hidden valley on the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain north of Chengdu. She also described to him in detail some of the more conspicuous geographical landmarks. In Phoenix Mountain, the terrain leading to the Youlin Cottage is rugged, the forest is deep and the vines are dense, and there are no ready-made paths. One can only follow the conspicuous landmarks. Therefore, without high-level Qinggong skills, it is impossible to reach the Youlin Cottage. Ouyang Feng would not be bothered by the mountains and forests. After climbing up Phoenix Mountain, he flew and leaped directly among the treetops without touching the ground. Soon, he found a clear stream at the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain. Shi Qingxuan told him that there was a stream called "Sun Creek" where she lived, and her little house in the woods was on the west bank of the valley. So Ouyang Feng continued to search downstream along the clear stream, crossed a towering stone wall, and entered a quiet valley with birds singing and flowers blooming. As soon as we entered the valley, we saw several dirt paths. Ouyang Feng landed on the ground and walked along the path when he suddenly heard a moving flute sound that sounded like the music of nature. The corners of his lips curled up and a smile appeared on his face. He walked towards the familiar flute sound, and soon saw the silhouette of a girl in green clothes through the woods. The girl sat on the bank of the stream, her skirt rolled up to her knees, revealing a pair of white calves. Her bare feet were immersed in the stream water, and she was holding a bamboo flute in both hands, playing it with all her heart. Around her, a group of birds and butterflies were dancing around her. Some of the birds and butterflies, although their shapes and movements are lifelike and lively, their bodies are transparent, as if they were made entirely of water waves. This is exactly the method of sound power that Shi Qingxuan cultivated under the guidance of Ouyang Feng. Her flute art is close to Taoism, which can arouse people's emotions and even resonate with the surrounding natural environment. Ouyang Feng then suggested that she use the sound of the flute to enter Taoism, use the rhythm to attract the essence of heaven and earth, and evolve offensive and defensive methods. With her guidance, Shi Qingxuan easily mastered this sound skill. More than a year ago, she could only transform the essence of heaven and earth drawn by music into a lifelike transparent bird. Now, she can transform into several birds and butterflies at the same time, and can even control them to make motionless postures. Her rapid progress is truly admirable. Ouyang Feng stood in the forest, quietly enjoying Shi Qingxuan's heavenly flute music. After listening for a while, the transparent birds and butterflies evolved from the essence of heaven and earth suddenly flew towards him and danced around him. At the same time, Shi Qingxuan also turned sideways to look at him, with a smile in her bright eyes, and the sound of the flute became light and lively. Ouyang Feng smiled slightly, walked to the bank of the stream, found a smooth and flat stone not far from Shi Qingxuan, sat down, and did not speak, just looked at her sideways.
Shi Qingxuan's cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her eyebrows and eyes to avoid his sight, and her skirt fell down to cover her calves. But the sound of the flute continued, and it was still so brisk and lively, revealing a joyful mood. After playing for a while, the sound of the flute gradually came to an end. When the last note ended, the real birds and butterflies around her circled around her for a while before dispersing. The birds, butterflies and butterflies transformed from the essence of heaven and earth also slowly melted away and dispersed into the void. Shi Qingxuan put down the jade flute and said with a sweet smile: "The arrival of the Supreme Grand Master has truly made Qingxuan's humble home in the secluded forest shine." "Qingxuan is joking." Ouyang Feng said, "It's been more than a year since we last met. Is Qingxuan doing well?" Shi Qingxuan lowered her head, looked at her feet in the water, and said in a faint voice: "It is good for me to live in seclusion in the mountains, not to care about worldly affairs and not to get involved in grudges. But the Supreme Grandmaster is very busy and has not been seen for more than a year. Qingxuan thought that someone had forgotten the agreement with Qingxuan." Ouyang Feng smiled and said: "That's not the case. It's just that I've been busy with important things over the past year." "Busy with important matters?" Shi Qingxuan said quietly, "But as far as Qingxuan knows, in the past year, although your reputation has become more and more powerful due to Bi Xuan's death, and you are respected as the Supreme Grandmaster by the world, you have disappeared and have not walked in the martial arts world." "Oh? Even though Qingxuan has been living in seclusion in the mountains for more than a year, she has been keeping an eye on my whereabouts?" “Who’s following you?” Shi Qingxuan's cheeks turned slightly red, and her little feet gently kicked up a ball of water: "It's just that if a big shot like you were to walk around in the martial arts world, you would definitely attract attention. Even if you did nothing, some news would spread. But when Qingxuan occasionally went to Chengdu to buy daily necessities, she never heard any rumors about you. The martial arts people still talk about your deeds of fighting against Bi Xuan and causing him to be seriously injured and killed. So I guess you haven't been around in the martial arts world in the past year." This reason was obviously a bit far-fetched, but Ouyang Feng would not expose it, and only smiled and said: "It's my fault that Qingxuan is worried about me. Although I haven't been traveling in the martial arts world for the past year, I have indeed been doing great things. I just got some free time, so I came to look for you to fulfill our appointment." Hearing about doing great things all the time, Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a little curious and asked: "What big thing are you doing? You are now the world's only supreme grandmaster. With your eye-catching status, your every move should attract attention from all sides. If you are doing big things, why is there no news of you in the martial arts world?" "That's because I'm not working in the Central Plains." "Not in the Central Plains? I see..." When Shi Qingxuan was in Dongping County, she had seen him traveling with Princess Shan Wanjing of Dongming. She had also learned from a letter from Lu Miaozi about how he and Shan Wanjing had joined forces to defeat the four major bandits. Rumors in the martial arts world also said that he had a very close relationship with the Dongming Sect, so people mistakenly believed that the great things he had done took place overseas and were related to the Dongming Sect. He did not ask any more questions, lifted his feet from the stream, took out a cotton towel to wipe off the water stains, put on his shoes and socks, stood up and said, "Follow me." Ouyang Feng followed her upstream along the stream and came to several small houses surrounded by the stream. Shi Qingxuan led him into the house, made him a pot of tea, then went into the inner room, took out a scroll and a few booklets and handed them to him. Ouyang Feng took it and looked at it. He found that the scroll was the "Immortal Seal" and the other booklets were the "Sun-Changing Technique" left behind by Tyrant Blade Yue Shan. He first glanced through the Sun-Changing Method, then spread out the scroll and read the "Immortal Seal Method". After reading it for a while, Ouyang Feng secretly sighed that the Evil King was indeed a rare genius, and this Immortal Seal was truly unique and mysterious. Among the two sects and six schools of the Demon Sect, the most powerful technique is the "Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique" of the Xieji Sect, followed by the "Heavenly Demon Secret" of the Yingui Sect.
The skills of the Huajian School and the Butian Pavilion were not ranked among the various branches of the Demonic Sect. But Shi Zhixuan relied on these two schools' skills, supplemented by the Buddhist mind-set, to create the Immortal Seal. Before he suffered schizophrenia, he firmly held the throne of the Demon Sect's number one master. The heroes of the white sect were helpless against him, forcing Jingzhai's successor Bi Xiuxin to "feed the demon with her own body". Song Que commented that the Immortal Seal was just an illusion, but this was obviously just a strategic contempt. Based on what Ouyang Feng felt when he read the Immortal Seal scroll at this time, the Immortal Seal was by no means as simple as an illusion, but a miraculous skill that combined the wonders of life and death. The mental methods of the two major branches, Huajian School and Butian Pavilion, cultivate true qi that leads to life and death. They go to extremes and conflict with each other, and it is impossible for them to be reconciled into one. Shi Zhixuan, however, took Buddhism as the axis, compatible life and death, and achieved the wonderful state of endless cycle of life and death. This skill is based on the concept of the mutual generation of yin and yang, and the tendency of things to turn to their opposites when they reach their extremes. It uses the extremely rapid conversion of the two energies of life and death to borrow strength and transform it into strength. It can transform the true energy of others' attacks into living energy, restore one's own qi and blood, and almost make one's own true energy never deplete. No wonder even though Shi Zhixuan suffered from schizophrenia and his martial arts declined, he was still not afraid of siege with his Immortal Seal. No matter how many masters surrounded and intercepted him, they could only force him to retreat but could not kill him. The "Immortal Seal" conforms to the principle of the cycle of life and death, and the mutual transformation of yin and yang. The mystery behind it is so profound that ordinary warriors cannot understand it at all. Even Bi Xiuxin died of exhaustion due to studying the Immortal Seal. However, considering Ouyang Feng's current realm and the powerful inclusiveness of his "Hunyuan Wuji Gong", the mystery of the Immortal Seal is not difficult for him to understand. On the contrary, it can give him a lot of inspiration on the principles of life and death, yin and yang. After reading it once and gaining a rough understanding, Ouyang Feng was not in a hurry to study it in depth. He nodded and smiled at Shi Qingxuan: "These two skills are very helpful to me. Thank you Qingxuan for your help." "I knew you were here for the techniques." Shi Qingxuan said in a gloomy tone, "If you didn't have these techniques, would you have to wait ten or twenty years before you remembered Qingxuan and came to keep the appointment?"
