Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 18

Three days later, in Sanhe Village, a certain family.

A slender woman walked out of the house and met the long-lost folks.

She wanted to muster up the courage to say hello, but the folks she knew in the past looked at her with strange eyes at this moment.

That look was like a thorn piercing into her heart.

"This is the fourth time for the Niu family's daughter-in-law..."

"During this period of time, that person didn't look for anyone, but just fell in love with this vixen."

"Oh, it's a pity that the son of the Niu family has to endure this kind of thing while raising his mother..."

"Hehe, what's the pity, maybe people are still enjoying it. Some time ago, the son of the Niu family sold a piece of ancient jade that was given to him. Good guy, it's worth ten taels of silver!"

"Hmph, I've already said that this woman looks like a vixen, whoever marries it will be a good thing. I heard that she screams happily at night..."

Everyone talked a lot, and every word was like a knife, piercing deeply into the woman's heart, making her face flushed and her body trembling slightly.

But she didn't refute or explain, just walked through the village entrance silently and walked up the mountain.

I don't know how long it took, she climbed up the back mountain alone, stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the small village where the smoke was constantly rising, in a trance.

She and her husband hit it off, and they have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. When she grew up, she resolutely rejected many families with good families and chose the one she liked.

I thought it was the beginning of happiness, but I didn't want it to be the arrival of a nightmare.

She was wantonly humiliated and tortured by the monster in the Wutong Temple, but the husband whom she had personally chosen did not dare to resist at all.

The woman opened her arms, ready to jump off the cliff and end her painful life.

However, at this moment, a clear voice sounded.

"Three thousand kalpas in the sky, and another 500 years in the world. The sword's edge under the waist is swaying the purple electricity, and the red flame in the furnace is full of smoke."

The woman was startled, and when she took a closer look, it was a slender, handsome young Taoist priest, wearing a blue Taoist robe, stepping lightly from a distance, obviously walking slowly, but approaching quickly.

"I just rode a white deer across the sea, and then crossed a green bull into the cave. Xiaoji and others are chatting and playing, and no one knows that I am a real fairy."

As soon as the words fell, the young Taoist priest had already arrived beside the woman, with a short sword hanging from his waist, his eyes were like morning stars, his long hair was flowing, and he seemed to be out of the world.

He made an excuse.

"The poor Daoxuan Li Daoxuan, I have seen a layman."

Lee Do Hyun...

The woman felt that the name seemed a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but tried hard to recall it but couldn't remember it.

"I have met the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest wants to ask for directions?"

She is kind-hearted, and although she already has the intention of seeking death, she still decides to help the other party first.

Li Daoxuan shook his head, and suddenly said: "This layman, you have a monster aura!"

The woman was startled, and couldn't help taking a step back, but she forgot that she was just on the edge of the cliff, slipped and fell down.

The next moment, Li Daoxuan suddenly appeared beside her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back to the original place.

Suddenly, Li Daoxuan stared at the woman's wrist.

I saw that there were patches of green and black snake scales on the originally fair wrist!

Li Daoxuan's eyes hurt her, she quickly covered her arms, and explained: "Dao... Daoist, I... I'm not a monster..."

"I know."

Li Daoxuan's voice made her startled.

"It's just that you have had too much contact with monsters, and your body has undergone some changes due to the erosion of monsters. If my guess is correct, these scales should be snake scales."

The woman trembled and lowered her head, as if recalling some very painful memories.

Li Daoxuan sighed lightly, and he took out a Liuding Liujia amulet, which he drew newly in the past few days.

"Yinnv Liuding, protect your body, Yangnan Liujia, protect your soul, be as urgent as a law!"

The talisman turned into a golden light and poured into the woman's body. She immediately felt a warm feeling in her body, and the cold feeling quickly dissipated.

Rolling up her sleeves, she was pleasantly surprised to see that the ugly snake scales became lighter and lighter until they disappeared.

Because of these snake scales, even her husband-in-law, mother-in-law, and even her own family members dare not talk to her these days, and treat her as a different kind.

She knelt down with a plop, with tears in her eyes, and said to Li Daoxuan: "Thank you, Daoist!"

At this moment, she still doesn't know that she has met a really capable Taoist priest, who is different from those charlatans, he is a real expert!
Then I remembered that the other party was still in the distance just now, but ended up walking in front of me in a few steps, and the poem he recited... Although I didn't quite understand it, I still felt very powerful.

Li Daoxuan quickly helped her up, and said with a smile: "Since you are not even afraid of death, why should you be afraid of monsters?"

The woman nodded again and again, people are like this, as long as they can see a glimmer of hope, they will live strong.

She immediately recounted her experience.

Li Daoxuan sighed softly, and said: "Pimp Daoist was in Xiaosha Village before, and he exterminated the evil bat demon, but he didn't want to have another evil snake demon, let's get rid of the evil today!"

Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up, and she finally knew where she had heard the name Li Daoxuan.

"It turns out that you are the god who killed the bat demon. I heard about your deeds before, and I went to Xiaosha Village to find you, but there was no one there..."

With the deed of beheading the bat demon, Li Daoxuan's status in her heart rose rapidly, and he was like a living god.

Li Daoxuan coughed when he saw that the fire was coming, and said: "The gods are not counted, and the poor are only a little low-level. Although this snake monster is hateful, it is very deep. If you want to get rid of him, I am afraid that you need some means. I'm sorry."

The woman said firmly, "As long as I can kill that snake demon, I can do whatever you want!"

Her hatred for the snake demon can be said to go deep into her bone marrow, and she wished she could eat its flesh and drink its blood raw!

Li Daoxuan nodded, then looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then whispered: "I need you like this... and this..."

The woman nodded again and again, listening to Li Daoxuan's words, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Immortal Master. I remember everything. The snake demon said that he will come to me tonight. I will go back and prepare immediately!"

Li Daoxuan handed her a Liuding Liujia talisman, and said: "If the matter is successful, you tear up this talisman, and I will sense it, and come to help you eliminate the demon."

This talisman was drawn by Li Daoxuan himself, and it has his mana on it. If it is torn apart, Li Daoxuan can feel it within a certain range.

The woman held the talisman tightly, bowed down to Li Daoxuan Yingying again, kowtowed and said: "I will live up to the immortal master's entrustment!"

Looking at her back, Li Daoxuan sighed softly, with a trace of firmness in his eyes.

Everything is ready, let's make a break with that snake demon tonight!
