Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 206

Li Daoxuan told him what happened just now.

After hearing this, the little fat man almost burst into tears, and said, "What evil did I do, I was bullied even if I went out of my way!"

While crying, he also bowed to Li Daoxuan in salute.

"Thank you brother for speaking out for me, there will be rewards in the future!"

In his eyes, Li Daoxuan has no power fluctuations, and his blood is not strong. He is just an ordinary Taoist priest. Otherwise, he would not be able to say the word "Great Reward" to a master of the Yin God Realm.

Li Daoxuan didn't take it seriously either. If he was an unsheathed divine sword in the Bigu Realm, showing his sharpness, anyone would think he was a dragon and phoenix figure at a glance, but he in the Yin God Realm had already begun to return to his basics and hide his strength and bide his time.

It looks ordinary, handsome and elegant, like a scholar, but in fact it has a hidden edge.
The little fat man was very frustrated. He cleaned up the stall and prepared to leave.

goo~
His stomach growled, obviously hungry.

The little fat man took out half a mustard pancake from his arms, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, he finally bit it down.

There was a deep contentment in his eyes, as if as long as there was food, all the unhappiness would disappear.

Li Daoxuan was a little surprised, how could it be possible that a disciple of Maoshan didn't have Bigu Pill?
He has already entered the bigu state, and he still eats whole grains, wouldn't it be clear and turbid, causing pain in the lower abdomen?

He made this mistake back then.

After eating this pancake, the little fat man's eyes showed a hint of longing, but he was still not full.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan said: "Brother Daoist, for the sake of being members of the Daoist sect, why don't I treat you to a meal."

The little fat man's mouth trembled, and he said, "Then...how dare you?"

"I heard that there is a house in Liling City that is not drunk, and the roast leg of lamb there is very famous. Why don't you try it?"

The little fat man swallowed hard, and said, "I... I have no money."

Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "It's okay, I've said it all, I invite you."

……

A moment later, in the Buzui building, the little fat man was gnawing on the sizzling roast leg of lamb, devouring it to such an extent that it was like a starving ghost reviving his life.

This meal greatly narrowed the distance between the two of them. The little fat man was very innocent, and he quickly explained everything to him.

His name is Lu Chunliang, and he did not worship Maoshan since he was a child, but was valued by the wandering Maoshan masters when he was 14 years old, and he was accepted as an apprentice and brought back to Maoshan.

But since then, hell has come for him.

Lu Chunliang had no other hobbies in his life, except eating.

Practicing requires bigu, which almost killed him, so when he was in Maoshan, he always secretly killed a pheasant to drive meat.

The master dotes on him very much, and sometimes when he finds out, he just turns a blind eye and closes one eye.

Until he entered the early stage of fasting.

Bigu period requires strict bigu, taking Bigu Dan, after taking the pill, you will no longer feel hungry, and naturally you will have no appetite.

During that time, Lu Chunliang was in pain.

For a bite to eat, he ruthlessly slipped down the mountain, preparing to return to his hometown in Chang'an and continue to be his rich young master.

However, he didn't bring Bigu Pill with him. After he went down the mountain, he found that a penny was too much for a hero, so he had to perform tricks to make money.

Li Daoxuan looked at him, and asked a question curiously: "Brother Lu, I also know a little about cultivation. It is said that food is not allowed during the bigu period, otherwise the lower abdomen will cause severe pain, but I see that you have no response. How do you do it?"

The problem that even he couldn't solve back then, this little fat man seems to have solved it.

Lu Chunliang chuckled and said, "It's not easy, I'll be fine if I don't practice!"

What he said was so natural that Li Daoxuan was speechless for a moment.

After a while, Li Daoxuan saw him eating happily, so he had a plan, trying to scare him.

"Brother Lu, you're new here, so you shouldn't have rashly used the art of escape."

Lu Chunliang gnawed on the leg of lamb and muttered, "Is it swollen?"

"Brother Lu, don't you know that Liling City... is the territory of the Ghost King Xudu?"

"The ghost king with empty belly? What does he have—"

Lu Chunliang's voice suddenly stopped, the fat on his body trembled, his eyes showed panic, it seemed that even the roast leg of lamb was no longer tasty.

Li Daoxuan sighed: "Brother Lu, the souls of those who died in Liling City will enter the Underworld Realm and be under the jurisdiction of the Xudu Ghost King. The domineering temperament of the ghost king with empty belly..."

Lu Chunliang's face was pale, as a cultivator, he had naturally heard of the name of the Ghost King of the Void Belly, it was definitely a childhood nightmare, a terrifying existence that could stop children from crying at night!
The hand holding the roast leg of lamb trembled slightly, he opened his mouth wide, bit all the meat hard, swallowed it, and then said to Li Daoxuan: "Brother, please help me."

"Have you eaten enough?"

"No, I'm a little scared, my legs are weak."

Li Daoxuan: "..."

……

A moment later, he helped Lu Chunliang get down from the Buzui building.

A scent of fragrant wind blows, the smell of grilled chicken in lotus leaves.

Lu Chunliang's stomach made noises again.

Li Daoxuan was shocked, didn't you just eat a big leg of lamb?
"Hey, brother, can I ask you to borrow some more money so I can buy a lotus leaf roast chicken?"

Li Daoxuan looked at the place where the fragrance came from. It was on the other side of the river. It took a lot of detours to walk there, so it would be better to go directly by boat.

"Come on, let's go by boat."

There were many boatmen by the river. When they saw two people coming, an old boatman rowed over. The boat was very old, smelled of decay, and was still stained with waterweed.

The old boatman turned his back to them, his voice was low and hoarse.

"Two, five coins per person across the river."

Li Daoxuan was slightly taken aback, because the blue dragon tattoo on his back was faintly hot, reminding him that there were unclean things approaching around him.

While he was observing the boatman, Lu Chunliang boarded the boat with a plop, handed the old boatman ten copper coins, and then waved to Li Daoxuan: "Brother, hurry up, I will pay you for the boat fee!"

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, and stepped on the wooden boat calmly.

Interesting, he wanted to see what the old boatman was up to.

After stepping into the Yin God Realm, he happened to have not tested his strength yet.

The old boatman turned his back to the two of them and started rowing. He rowed so smoothly that no one could feel the slightest jolt.

There was a shed on the boat, and Lu Chunliang called Li Daoxuan to sit down.

"Brother, you invited me to a big meal this time. I, Lu Chunliang, am by no means an ungrateful person. You take this talisman, and it will keep you safe in the future!"

He took out a piece of Maoshan's peace amulet and handed it to Li Daoxuan, the effect was similar to that of Longhushan's amulet.

He said seriously: "Brother, this talisman is extremely precious, even if I am myself, I don't have many!"

As soon as the words fell, the boat suddenly bumped.

With a sway of Lu Chunliang's body, a thick pile of talismans fell out from his sleeves, all of which were exactly the same peace talismans, at least two or three hundred.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lu Chunliang scratched his head, silently picked up the pile of talismans, then laughed and walked out of the boat shed.

"Haha, brother, the weather is really nice today—"

His voice stopped abruptly, because the day, which was still sunny before, had turned into darkness at this moment.

The sky was as black as ink, without a single star.

The old boatman was still paddling steadily, but the river bank in front of him had long since disappeared, replaced by endless darkness.

Li Daoxuan came out and said, "Brother Lu, do you feel that this boat has been traveling for too long?"

The other side of the river is only a few dozen feet away, and it only takes a moment to row a boat, but now a full moment has passed, and the boat is still rowing.

Looking back, in the hazy mist, densely packed boats appeared in the same direction as them.

The boats are all white, as if made of funeral paper.

　Thanks to the white-clothed storyteller for the one thousand and five rewards.
