Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 39
early morning.

Li Daoxuan opened his eyes, his eyes were as bright as a mirror, and there was a faint feeling of electricity in the empty room.

He practiced all night!
"So this is cultivating the Tao? It's really...comfortable!"

Li Daoxuan murmured to himself, after entering the early stage of bigu last night, the essence in his body was continuously generated, and he refined it into mana, and his Taoism improved several times faster than before!
And once he fell into meditation, he spent the whole night without any fatigue or sleepiness at all.

This is also the benefit of stepping into the early stage of bigu. You will always be energetic and tireless, which is equivalent to having an indestructible kidney.

Just breaking through the lower dantian, there is such a miracle, Li Daoxuan is looking forward to it now, what will happen when the middle dantian and upper dantian are broken away?
After clearing up his thoughts, he washed himself first, then strode, meditated, and practiced swordsmanship as usual...

The days became calm again, and Lee Do-hyun resumed his life as before.

During this period, people from the government came here, but their attitude was very polite, and they looked at Li Daoxuan in awe.

Later, even the county magistrate of Xinyang County came over in person, said that Li Daoxuan had meritorious service in eliminating demons, and recommended him to see Lord Governor, but was declined by Li Daoxuan.

In the end, the county magistrate personally asked someone to make a plaque, wrote the four characters of Zhenyang Taoist Temple with his own hands, and ordered someone to hang it up.

Since then, Li Daoxuan found that when he went to the street again, the attitude of the people around him was much better, and sometimes someone would take the initiative to chat with him.

In this world where demons exist, it is very difficult for local people to get the care of court mages. At this time, if there are Taoist priests with real skills to settle down, the local people will still welcome them.

Of course, there are also some evil monks who treat human life like nothing, and are hated by the people. The former master and apprentice Li Daoxuan were regarded as evil cultivators by them.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

In a blink of an eye, it was ten days later.

"The Dao rushes to use it or not to prosper, and the abyss is like the origin of all things. Destroy its sharpness, untangle its chaos, harmonize its light, and harmonize its dust..."

In Zhenyang Taoist Temple, Li Daoxuan was leaning against a willow tree with a scroll in his hand, and was reciting seriously. His voice was clear and clear, like a gurgling brook. After listening to it, people became inexplicably quiet, and their irritability was swept away.

What he read was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the Tao Te Ching of Taoist Lao Tzu.

Since the early days of bigu, he has set aside an hour every day to recite various Taoist scriptures. Every time he finishes reading, he feels calm and calm, and his heart lake is like a mirror that has been wiped constantly, becoming more transparent.

Wipe it frequently so as not to cause dust.

inside the house.

The oil-paper umbrella was quietly opened at some point, and Chen Ziyu, holding the umbrella, stood quietly by the window, listening to Li Daoxuan's chanting.

I don't know when it started, but whenever Li Daoxuan recited the scriptures, she would listen quietly and concentrate.

When Lee Do-hyun finished chanting, she would return to the umbrella again.

But today, when Li Daoxuan finished chanting, she did not go back, but raised her eyes and looked at a skylark quietly parked on the treetop.

The skylark seemed to be very spiritual, standing on the treetop listening to Li Daoxuan chanting scriptures, it had been motionless for an hour.

Outside the house, Li Daoxuan also noticed something was wrong.

He glanced at the skylark calmly, put away the book, and quietly had a Five Thunder Talisman in his hand.

What a bold monster, dare to break into the Taoist Temple of Zhenyang?

At this time Zhang Qianyang who was drunk suddenly opened his eyes, smiled at Li Daoxuan and said, "Don't worry, apprentice."

The smell of alcohol dissipated from his body, and he smiled at the skylark: "Long time no see, little bird, the empress sent you here, but what are your orders?"

The skylark proudly raised its head, flapped its wings and landed on Zhang Qianyang's shoulder, chirping without knowing what to say.

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhang Qianyang's eyes, he thought for a moment, and said: "So that's it, thank you for your kindness, but the poor Taoist is getting old, and he has no interest in these things when he was young. How about this, I recently got a good apprentice, so I will give it to you." Let him go for me."

Skylark turned to look at Li Daoxuan, then flew up and circled a few times above Li Daoxuan's head, as if sizing him up.

At last it nodded, flapped its wings and flew into the sky, and soon disappeared.

……

Li Daoxuan looked at Master and said, "Master, that bird..."

Zhang Qianyang said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Xiao Que'er is not an ordinary monster. It was once enlightened by the Tsing Yi Empress to pass on the secret method of immortality. Not only does it have no evil spirit, but it has quite a fairy root."

Empress Tsing Yi...

Li Daoxuan understood that this skylark is equivalent to the subordinates trained by Empress Tsing Yi, just like many immortals and Buddhas have mountain guardian beasts.

"What you saw just now is not Xiao Que'er's real body, but just one of her countless incarnations."

After a pause, Zhang Qianyang said with a smile to his apprentice: "Little Que'er is born with spiritual eyes and is expected to have the power of qi. She speaks highly of you, saying that your luck is amazing and your bones are quite immortal. Tsk tsk, since I knew her as a teacher, you can You are the second one to receive such a high evaluation."

"Who was the first one?"

There was a trace of sadness in Zhang Qianyang's eyes, as if recalling some sad past.

"The first one is your senior sister, who is also the first disciple of the master, but now... she has betrayed Longhushan."

Li Daoxuan was taken aback for a moment, it was the first time he knew that he had a senior sister who even betrayed Longhushan.

"Forget it, don't mention her."

Zhang Qianyang waved his hand, and his whole person seemed to be depressed all of a sudden.

He walked into the room, took out a dozen black jars, handed them to Li Daoxuan and said, "These are the souls of the dead who have been rescued by the teacher recently, you take them and send them to Qingyi Niangniang Temple, let them reincarnate."

Seeing Li Daoxuan's confused look, Zhang Qianyang remembered that he hadn't explained what Xiao Que'er had explained clearly.

"Mistress Tsing Yi is about to hold a banquet, and the place is three hundred miles away in Yuzhang City. She invited me to attend, but I have other things to do as a teacher, so you can go there for me."

Li Daoxuan was a little surprised, the banquet of Empress Tsing Yi...

I am about to see a ghost fairy at close range?
"Master, I remember that you can send the dead soul directly to Tsing Yi Empress for reincarnation?"

Zhang Qianyang snorted and said: "Dish to send Qingming, that is to use the old face of being a teacher to go through the back door, once in a while is fine, if there are too many times, this face is worthless."

Li Daoxuan nodded, and put these jars into the gourd of the Three Realms.

"Since you are about to meet Empress Tsing Yi, as a teacher, I will tell you some more about her background so that you won't make a fool of yourself when the time comes."

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up. He was very curious about the ghost fairy who had lived for nearly a thousand years, so he naturally listened attentively.

"Niangniang Qingyi was originally the daughter of a prefect in the early Han Dynasty. She was born with psychics and could predict the changes of heavenly secrets. She had predicted the coming of disasters many times and saved many people in Yuzhang City."

"But the heavenly secrets must not be leaked, otherwise you will be punished by the heavens. The plague broke out in the city soon. Some people said that it was because the Qingyi empress leaked the heavenly secrets many times, which led to heaven's crimes on Yuzhang City."

"In the end, Qingyi Empress was willing to sacrifice herself and set herself on fire in Yuzhang City. The plague dissipated quickly. People were grateful for her sacrifice and built temples for her. The incense has been burning for nearly a thousand years. Because she liked to wear Qingyi during her lifetime, she was called It's Tsing Yi Empress."

After hearing the experience of Empress Tsing Yi, Li Daoxuan felt a little emotional in his heart, this is indeed a kind god.

No wonder the master once said that after the disappearance of the gods and Buddhas, the underworld will be divided into three parts. Except for the Tsing Yi empress, the Xudu ghost king and the old black mountain demon are very cruel. miserable.

"Okay, it's not too late, it's still early in the day, so hurry up and go!"

"Yes, Master!"

After Li Daoxuan packed his bags and left, looking at his back, Zhang Qianyang let out a long sigh, with a bit of silence in his eyes.

He drank for a long time, and with a bit of drunkenness, he cursed: "Damn girl, don't you always call... ask Master to find you a junior brother? Now that you have a junior junior brother, your qualifications... are not worse than yours. ...but you ran away..."

"If I knew this earlier, as a teacher, I should...break your leg..."
