Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 445 The essential art of peace, the yellow sky talisman

Chang Le suddenly threw herself into Li Daoxuan's arms, like a frightened cub, raised her little face covered in mud, and cried into a little cat.

"Woooooo...Master, I thought I would never see you again..."

At this moment, her nobility and elegance of being the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty disappeared completely, and she hid in Li Daoxuan's arms, with snot and tears soiling the spotless Luoyue fairy robe.

"Woo...Master, this is not a dream..."

Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled, then flicked her smooth forehead with his fingers, seeing her in pain, he smiled and said: "The pain is not a dream, don't worry, Master is here to save you."

Seeing the pear blossoms raining after she cried, Li Daoxuan sighed softly, stretched out his sleeve to help her wipe it clean.

Chang Le raised her face obediently, and the heart that was locked in the tomb with shock and fear finally calmed down slowly.

During this period of time, she struggled desperately in the grave and called for help, even her nails were bleeding, but it was of no avail. Later she fell asleep exhausted, perhaps because she accidentally touched the wound, she woke up from the pain, and couldn't help crying out. The voice was only heard by Li Daoxuan.

Lee Do Hyun also noticed her wound.

"Put out your hand."

"Master, I'm fine, just go back and let the imperial doctor take a look..."

Chang Le put his hands behind his back, as if he didn't want Master to see him in a mess.

Li Daoxuan flicked her again, and said lightly: "Not obeying the teacher's order?"

Chang Le rubbed her head, her mood had stabilized at the moment, she stretched out her hand reluctantly.

I saw that the originally white and slender hands were now covered with mud and bloodstains, especially the nails, and even had blood scabs, hiding the coagulated blood.

Li Daoxuan saw countless fine scratches on the inside of the coffin board, and he knew how much pain this little girl had endured this time.

Li Daoxuan held her hand, running the Great Five Elements Escape Technique, and the five-colored aura flickered, among which the green awn was the most dazzling and blazing, mobilizing the living energy of the surrounding vegetation and injecting it into Changle's hands.

Chang Le only felt a burst of coolness in her palms, and the pain quickly subsided. After a while, her hands became white and tender again, without any scars.

"Master, this is amazing, I want to learn it!"

There was admiration in her eyes.

Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "Cultivate well, and I will naturally teach you in the future."

After a pause, he gradually put away his smile, looked her up and down, and said, "Now I'm going to ask you something, you must answer it honestly."

Chang Le was taken aback by his serious expression, and quickly put away his smile.

"Let me ask you, what about the amulets I gave you before, why didn't you wear them?"

After Li Daoxuan accepted her as his apprentice, he gave her many amulets. If Changle could carry it with him, he would not be taken away by ghosts.

Chang Le lowered her head and said, "Because Sister Yan'er...she is afraid of those talismans."

"Yan'er... She tied you here, and you still call her sister?"

Chang Le raised his head, with a hint of firmness in his eyes.

"Master, Sister Yan'er must have her reasons!"

She told about her acquaintance with Yan'er.

It turned out that she had strayed into the cold palace once, where she met a delirious mad woman, who was said to be a certain concubine who had made a big mistake. At that time, she ran out secretly without a maid by her side.

When the crazy woman saw her, she grabbed her by the throat. When she was struggling desperately, a sister named Yan'er appeared, knocked the crazy woman unconscious, and saved her.

Since then, the two have become friends.

The clever Changle soon discovered that something was wrong with Yan'er. She dared not go out at noon, let alone step out of the cold palace. She didn't have to eat at ordinary times, and she had no shadow under the moonlight.

Changle guessed that she was a ghost, but she was not afraid, and instead became friends with the other party.

Sister Yan'er would tell her about life outside the palace, about the hares in the mountains, the grasshoppers in the grass, the ripe persimmons, and the smoke from her mother's stove.

It was a life she had never experienced.

Sister Yan'er is only a few years older than her, but she looks very mature. She is usually very quiet, but when she mentions her family, she always smiles like a crescent moon.

But most of the time, she would stare at a candy in a daze.

Later, when the Chan Feng Ceremony was about to be held, Changle woke up early to prepare pastries and wanted to present them to the master, but he didn't want to receive a voice transmission from sister Yan'er, asking her to go to Lenggong immediately.

As soon as she got there, she lost consciousness, and when she woke up, she was already lying in the tomb.

……

After Li Daoxuan listened to her narration, he raised his palm, and a purple talisman floated from behind Changle, exuding a mysterious aura, it was this talisman that blocked her aura.

Under Fa's eyes, four ancient seal characters faintly appeared on it.

"Taiping... Huang Tian..."

Li Daoxuan's heart moved, and he thought of a person, a person who held a nine-section staff and litigated the "Taiping Jing", which opened up the troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Great virtuous teacher, general Tiangong, Zhang Jiao!

The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be happy.

The master once said that Zhang Jiao was very good at the art of talismans. After his death, the talismans on his body were taken away by his subordinates. Each one was very precious and had its own magical effect.

Li Daoxuan speculated that this talisman might have been drawn by Zhang Jiao himself, and was taken away by his subordinates. Many years later, it fell into the hands of the old Taoist priest. Perhaps the old Taoist priest was a descendant of the former Yellow Turban Army.

This can explain why the old Taoist raised little ghosts everywhere and practiced sorcery, but he was never discovered by the court or the righteous monks, and finally died in the hands of the ghosts he raised.

It can also explain why the ghost in the cabinet has been hiding in Ziwu Town outside Chang'an City, living under the noses of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng for many years.

"She left such a precious talisman to you..."

Li Daoxuan thought in his heart, he once asked Wang Bo, and the other party said that two maids of Changle died tragically in a corner outside the palace, as if they were attacked by a demon.

A guess came to his mind.

Could it be that Yan'er knew that there would be ghosts attacking Chang Le, so she informed her to leave in advance, and the reason why she borrowed amulets from the ghosts in the cabinet was because... those ghosts that attacked and killed the maid were still following Chang Le!

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan looked at the wooden tombstone again.

"The tomb of my beloved daughter Chen Yan."

This simple tomb, which has not been visited for a long time, is the burial place of Yan'er. She thought it was safe, so she put Changle in her tomb and left alone.

Perhaps she wanted to distract the pursuers alone.

Changle Bingxue was smart, seeing Li Daoxuan's expression, he immediately guessed something was wrong.

"Master, is sister Yan'er in danger?"

She pinched the corner of Li Daoxuan's clothes, her eyes were full of pleading.

Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "Let's go and have a look first."

He glanced at Xiaotian, Gouzi immediately ran towards the east, according to the smell on the candy, Yan'er stayed here for a while, and then left towards the east.

……

Night fell gradually.

The people in Ziwu Town have all returned home. Although the house is simple, it is full of children's laughter.

Li Daoxuan and Changle stood in front of the window of a house, quietly watching the faint candlelight inside.

Xiao Tian whispered: "Master Immortal, that Yan'er has stayed here for a long time."

Li Daoxuan nodded, and through the dilapidated window, he saw a middle-aged couple teasing a little boy under the dim candlelight, and the family of three enjoyed themselves happily.

The mother peeled off a candy, fed it into the little boy's mouth, and said with a smile, "This candy is so sweet. Your sister used to like it the most."

The little boy asked curiously, "Do I have a sister? Where is she?"

Her husband glared at her immediately.

The mother knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she quickly changed the subject and said with a smile, "Xiaohu, what did you teach at the private school today?"

The little boy immediately left his sister behind, and proudly told his parents that Mr. Today praised him, saying that he had a good brain and quick memory, and he was a material for reading.

The parents suddenly became more proud.

Chang Le's eyes were full of tears at some point, she whispered: "Master, Sister Yan'er...have you been watching here for a long time?"

Li Daoxuan sighed lightly.

A picture appeared in his mind.

Under the moonlight, a thirteen-year-old girl finally returned to her long-lost home, but because there was a monster chasing behind her, she could only watch through the window for a moment before leaving silently.

Maybe even if she wasn't being followed, she wouldn't have stepped into the house.

Perhaps she finally understands why her parents visit her grave less and less often, and why she can no longer wait for a favorite candy.

That cheap candle was once her dream home.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan suddenly remembered what he saw in the cemetery today. The kid who tried to hug his mother was another Yan'er?
The candles in the room were extinguished, and soon there was the sound of sound sleep.

"Let's go."

Li Daoxuan touched Changle's head and said softly.

Chang Le raised her small face, her eyes were rosy, and asked: "Sir, in this world, are there many people like Sister Yan'er?"

Li Daoxuan froze for a moment, thought about it, and decided to tell the truth.

"A lot, far beyond your imagination."

In the early years of Zhenguan, there was a lot of waste to be done, and with the infestation of demons, things like this were not uncommon.

This is also the reason why Li Daoxuan is willing to help Li Shimin. In addition to helping his own practice, the most important thing is that he also wants to change this situation.

Let the people of Tang Dynasty no longer suffer from hunger and cold, and let the children no longer be displaced.

"Master, the emperor said that he wanted to create a prosperous age, so as long as there is a prosperous age, this kind of thing will not happen?"

"Yes, as long as the prosperous age comes, there will be no more such things, at least it will be greatly reduced!"

"Master, can you and father succeed?"

Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, and said: "Yes, definitely."

The little girl nodded vigorously, wiped away her tears and said, "Changle must work hard to cultivate, and in the future, together with Master and Father, we will create a prosperous world!"

"it is good."

In the night, Li Daoxuan held Changle's little hand, two shadows, one big and one small, gradually moved away under the bright moonlight.

……

After a moment.

Xiaotian continued to follow the scent, and brought the two of them to the river, saying: "Master Immortal, this is the last place she came to. After that, she disappeared."

After a pause, Xiaotian said again: "There is a smell of water ghouls on the shore!"

Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows, showing a trace of surprise.

Another water ghoul!
From the Sishui River in Xuzhou to the Bashui River in Chang'an, and then to the small river in Ziwu Town, water ghouls appeared one after another. This incident is very strange and unusual.

Li Daoxuan stared at the river, his sky eyes had already been opened, and he checked all the bottom of the river, even the deep mud, but even though his sky eyes had penetrated hundreds of feet underground, he still didn't find any water ghouls.

This shows that the water ghoul that appeared here has already left along the river.

This is very unreasonable.

His master once told him that monsters like water ghouls generally do not leave their birthplace easily. You must know that there are many monsters hidden in rivers, lakes and seas. If you accidentally step into the territory of other monsters, you will inevitably have to fight for life fight.

In addition, water ghouls are only interested in eating blood, and prefer to eat people, followed by cattle and sheep, and then fish. They generally do not conflict with ghosts.

But the water ghoul, who has always been in harmony with ghosts, left his territory and took away or killed Yan'er by the water. All these abnormalities indicate a possibility.

That is, behind these water ghouls, there is a leader who manipulates them!

From Xuzhou to Chang'an, a big game of chess has been quietly laid out, and the chess player behind the scenes should be Mo Luo!

"The chess game has been set, Li Daoxuan, where will your chess piece fall?"

Suddenly, Li Daoxuan remembered the last words left by the other party when he met Mo Luo at the Lingtai, and couldn't help but sink in his heart.

An old monster like Mo Luo, who has lived for many years, has such a meticulous layout and deep thoughts that people have to be afraid. Now he only hopes that Master Sanle can quickly tell Mo Luo where he is, and then talk to the empress and God. Master to destroy it together.

This kind of feeling that the enemy is dark and we are clear is really uncomfortable.

"Master, will something happen to Sister Yan'er?"

Chang Le held Li Daoxuan's hand tightly and said nervously.

Li Daoxuan didn't answer, his brows were slightly frowned, and an ominous premonition was inexplicably born in his heart.

The recent events quickly went through his mind, and there were indeed some flaws and weirdness in them, such as the repeated appearance of water ghouls, such as why Mo Luo didn't disturb the dragon spirit when he destroyed the Feng Chan ceremony, such as why Yan'er appeared in the palace...

But he couldn't connect these clues together, and it seemed that one of the most important pieces of the puzzle was missing.

If only I could divination...

Li Daoxuan was thinking like this, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his heart, and an idea emerged.

He doesn't know how to divination, but...someone can!

Li Daoxuan patted the Three Realms gourd on his waist, released the ghost cabinet, and then lightly knocked on the cabinet door.

"This is where Yan'er disappeared for the last time. I already know who is behind the scenes. If you want to save Yan'er, you can do one thing for me."

The blood flowed out, which startled Chang Le, but fortunately, Master was by her side, so she wouldn't be so scared.

"it is good."

The ghost in the cabinet immediately agreed.

Li Daoxuan didn't directly ask what Mo Luo's overall plan was, so even if the ghost cabinet was turned into dust, he might not be able to figure out a single word.

After thinking for a while, he asked a question that seemed irrelevant, but was actually very relevant.

"In the palace, why didn't Longqi attack Yan'er?"
