Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

The prosperous city of Chang'an in the past has now been flooded. Because it happened at night, many people who were still asleep were washed away by the flood, and then became the prey of water ghouls.

There are also some lucky ones who climbed to the top of the tall building and temporarily escaped the catastrophe, but looking at the looming strange figure under the water, they couldn't help shivering and praying for the blessing of gods and Buddhas.

There are also some people riding on wooden barrels or bed boards, floating on the water, like untied boats, which will capsize at any time.

This kind of scene also happened in Longyou County. At that time, Jiaolong escaped and summoned a heavy rain with the magical power of calling wind and rain, flooding the whole county.

The floods that Chang'an encountered this time were more serious than those in Longyou County. Not only were there heavy rains, but also the eight waters of Chang'an broke their embankments, so that this vast and magnificent city instantly became a purgatory on earth.

In this disaster that affected Chang'an, there was one place that remained calm all the time, and that was the temple of Tsing Yi Empress.

Not long after the temple was built, after the ceremony of enshrining Zen, it ushered in a surge of incense.

Now this temple is blooming like glazed brilliance, no matter how turbulent the surrounding flood is, within a hundred feet of the temple, it will circle around, and the water ghouls in it even shy away.

Therefore, some lucky ones managed to escape by hiding in the Tsing Yi Temple. They knelt down at the feet of the god statue, kowtowed devoutly, and prayed for the appearance of the Tsing Yi Empress to protect Chang'an.

Inside the temple, it was peaceful and peaceful, and everyone prayed.

Outside the temple, floods are raging, and there is purgatory on earth.

At this time, someone suddenly discovered that the statue of Empress Tsing Yi shed a drop of tears, as if she was sympathizing with the plight of the people in Chang'an.

"The lady has appeared!"

"Nine Heavens Xuanyin Tsing Yi Holy Empress, please show mercy and save my child!"

"The believer is willing to sacrifice her life for the health of her family..."

At this moment, the temple is full of pious prayers, with mournful voices and tears of blood.

……

Qingming Realm, Yan Fushan.

Sitting on the lotus platform, the Empress in Tsing Yi slowly opened her eyes, her black eyebrows were slightly frowned, showing a look of pity.

Through the statue, she has seen the disaster in Chang'an, but unfortunately, she can't directly intervene, at most she can only protect the people around the temple.

Because this disaster is the doomed doom of Datang.

Practicing to her level, she can already see the changes in the way of heaven. As early as a few months ago, she even thought that there would be a catastrophe in Chang'an, and it was related to water.

Li Shimin wanted to build the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Formation in order to change the fate of the Tang Dynasty and steal the power of the sky for his own use, so the way of heaven was touched and brought down a catastrophe.

In addition, as the son of heaven, Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father. His morals are lacking, which is also his doom.

After breaking through, for Li Shimin and Datang, it will be a phoenix nirvana. From then on, Datang's vitality will be completely new.

If you can't break through, you will be lost forever and fall into the abyss.

The eyes of the Empress in Tsing Yi were turbulent, and she seemed to see the handsome Taoist priest in white clothes who was born in the dust again from the world of Yin and Yang. The key to surviving the calamity this time was Li Daoxuan.

Of course, as the Heavenly Mother of the Tang Dynasty, she did not do nothing. As early as a few months ago, she had already made arrangements in advance.

With a thought, the clouds around the Empress in Tsing Yi gathered to form a sparkling mirror, which illuminated the bottom of the Xiangjiang River in the territory of Yongzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

In a certain radiant underwater fairy palace, there is a flawless goddess in a plain dress and fluttering black hair, with picturesque brows and picturesque eyes, a straight nose, and skin as white as ice and snow, rippling with endless waves of water Power, flowing like a jade-like brilliance.

The seal of the Xiaoxiang Water God floated above her head, sorting out the water veins of Yongzhou, absorbing the rich divine power of water.

There is a nine-pin red lotus imprint on her brow, which makes it more sacred and bright, and its brilliance is moving.

With her success in cultivation, she has completely mastered the Xiaoxiang water veins, and has become the new Xiaoxiang Goddess. The entire Xiangjiang River is full of lotus flowers, full of a distant fragrance.

It is also a twist of fate that Chen Ziyu was abused by her stepmother when she was young. Because she was beautiful, she was tortured by her jealous stepmother into a water tank, so that after she turned into a ghost, she was still afraid of water.

Once when Li Daoxuan pretended to fall into the water while practicing the supernatural power of water movement, she went into the water to save her, but she sank instead, feeling at a loss.

But I didn't expect that after practicing the lotus law, she would hold the seal of the gods and become the new Xiaoxiang water god.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ziyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of expectation in her glazed pupils.

Tsing Yi Niangniang's voice rang in her ears.

"The time has come, hurry to Chang'an."

Chen Ziyu's eyes were rippling, and three thousand blue silks were constantly dancing in the water like silk. The originally calm waters of Xiaoxiang were suddenly filled with waves, which disturbed the dreams of many fish and shrimp.

……

Chang'an City.

Li Shimin wears firm and persistent clothes, with firm eyes, and leads the unscrupulous people to go deep in a lone boat, and shoots and kills the water ghouls at the bottom of the water with a bow and crossbow containing dragon spirit.

For a moment, the foul-smelling blood of the water ghoul floated on the surface of the water, like a layer of bluish-red grease.

A large number of water ghouls gathered, staring at them, but facing Li Shimin who was protected by dragon energy, they did not dare to attack at all, and could only swim around the ship.

Once they get close to Li Shimin, they will become limp and weak, from beasts in the water to sheep ready to be slaughtered.

And the bad people who own Li Shimin are naturally invincible.

It's a pity that not everyone can hunt and kill these water ghouls, and more people have become food in the mouths of water ghouls.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Li Shimin didn't know how many times he bent his bow and shot arrows, and changed his quiver again and again. Those arrows for subjugating demons, which were personally modified by Li Chunfeng, were made of black iron, engraved with the formation of storing dragon energy, and they were extremely expensive. Don't shoot money into the water in general.

Li Shimin's arrow skills are very superb, and he can be ranked first in the troubled times of the end of the Sui Dynasty when heroes came forth in large numbers.

Yu Chigong once commented on Li Shimin's arrow skills, saying that the king of Qin holds a bow and I hold a lance. If they cooperate, no one in the world can get close.

Under Li Shimin's superb archery skills, water ghouls were shot and killed, saving many people who were on the verge of tiger's mouth.

But there was more and more sweat on his forehead, and his arms became more numb.

Raising his head, Li Shimin looked at the people in the distance who were eaten by water ghouls or drowned in the water. He heard the children crying and the old man crying for help, and his heart felt like a drop of blood.

Chang'an is his pride. Since he succeeded to the throne, what he is most pleased with is that Chang'an has become prosperous today, and the people of Chang'an have gradually lived a stable life, but today, they are all destroyed.

"General, save us!"

"The bad guys are coming!"

There was a mother who was about to be submerged in the water, but held her child up high, and begged Li Shimin: "General, please save my child!"

……

Li Shimin has never felt so powerless like today. He suddenly discovered that human beings are so small and fragile in the face of the natural power of the world.

Is there really no way?

At this moment, a shadow fell from the cloud, and as it fell, it became bigger and bigger, until it even covered the sky and the sun in the end.

It was a huge gourd that fell from the sky, as high as a mountain, and seemed to have spirituality. It avoided the people of Chang'an, and smashed hard into the flood full of water ghouls.

Boom!

The surface of the water trembled violently, and I don't know how many water ghouls were smashed to pieces.

The next moment, the mouth of the gourd opened, and infinite suction burst out, like a giant whale absorbing water, rolled up water columns, and swallowed it into the gourd.

For a while, the soaring Chang'an flood came to a halt, and the water level not only stopped rising, but also began to gradually decline.

The huge gourd was like a bottomless pit, not only rolled up floods and water ghouls, but also swept in the torrential rain that had not yet landed.

The scene was so shocking that Li Shimin was stunned there.

Soon he discovered that this gourd looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...

"This... this seems to be the gourd used by the national teacher for drinking?"

"Hiss, when you say it like this, it really looks like it!"

The bad guys talked excitedly.

After their reminders, Li Shimin finally remembered that this was clearly the wine gourd that Tai Chong hung around his waist all day long, it looked plain and even a little worn out.

I remember one time, Li Shimin wanted to reward Taichong with a treasure gourd made of gold and beautiful jade, but Taichong politely declined, saying that although the gourd on his waist was not gorgeous, it was practical.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin laughed loudly, and said: "Well, you are too aggressive, you are clearly making me look bad, and you don't even know it."

He was complaining, but his laughter was extremely hearty. With the appearance of this gourd, the anxiety in his heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

"Look, there is someone on the cloud!"

"It's the national teacher, the national teacher is finally here!"

"Haha, the national teacher has taken action, Chang'an is saved!"

The bad people cheered enthusiastically, and after Li Daoxuan defeated Maha in full view, he gained a high reputation among the bad people.

Although Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have profound Taoism and exhaustive strategies, they are not good at fighting. Among the bad guys, they are very eager for a leader who can shake the world in terms of fighting skills.

The appearance of Li Daoxuan undoubtedly made many people see hope.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan was standing in the void with his feet on the wind and rain, his long hair fluttering, and his eyes were cold.

He threw out the floating dust in his hand, turned into a black jade unicorn, got into the water like a tiger into a flock of sheep, no water ghoul could stop it.

In addition, Li Daoxuan flew out of a hundred-foot-high green dragon, hovering in the dark clouds, roaring, as if confronting some invisible force.

Although the torrential rain did not stop completely, it also eased the rain a bit.

These were not enough, Li Daoxuan blew a few blue bird feathers and turned into huge skylarks, ordering them to rescue the people trapped in the water.

Clang!
The Dragon Yin sword box was fully opened, and the three swords of Chixiao, Bailong, and Juque came out together, turning into thousands of sword shadows, like lightning bolts that criss-crossed each other, and every time they shuttled, they would take away the lives of countless water ghouls.

For a while, the sword energy in Chang'an City was surging, dragons and tigers were contending, and Li Daoxuan suppressed the chaotic situation almost by himself. Seeing that the flood in Chang'an City was getting less and less, and the water ghouls were also suffering heavy casualties, they dared not show up again.

The situation seems to be gradually improving.

But Li Daoxuan became more vigilant and dignified in his heart.

Because with Mo Luo's handwriting, it is impossible to only have these ordinary water ghouls. According to what he said before, it is obvious that Chang'an has arranged for himself a must-kill situation.

If there is only this level, how can he threaten Li Daoxuan's life?

……

Daxingshan Temple.

This place was also submerged by the flood, and many monks without mana were floating and sinking on the surface of the water, calling for help from the Buddha.

But in fact, there are statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva floating on the water.

But it seems that their plea for help really came true, a huge... alms bowl floated on the surface of the water?
Xuanzang was wearing a brocade cassock, standing on the alms bowl, stretching out his hand to pull up monks one after another, and rescued one commoner after another.

Some water ghouls wanted to get close to the purple golden bowl, but they were blocked by the brocade cassock on Xuanzang's body.

This cassock made of the seven treasures of Buddhism, blooming with mellow and gentle Buddha light, kept the water ghouls out and gave everyone a safe place to stand.

At this moment, Xuanzang was extremely grateful to his elder brother.

If the elder brother hadn't forced the cassock to him, even if he accidentally discovered the magical effect of the purple gold bowl, he might not be able to stop these menacing water ghouls.

As more and more people were on the Zijin bowl, the space became narrower, and it seemed that it would not be able to accommodate it.

Xuanzang bit his own finger, letting the blood fall on the alms bowl, and the next moment, the purple gold alms bowl became a little bigger again.

This is the secret that Xuanzang accidentally discovered. He discovered that the purple gold bowl was actually a magic weapon, with the ability to be as big or small as he wanted. Although he had no magic power, he could barely activate this magic weapon by dripping blood.

As the space of the alms bowl became larger, Xuanzang could continue to save people again.

But what he didn't know was that as the blood dripped, a faint fragrance floated in the surrounding air, which made the water ghouls even more crazy, and kept crashing into the purple gold bowl.

Although the brocade cassock has the ability to protect, but as the purple gold bowl becomes larger, the Buddha light of the cassock gradually cannot cover it all.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Under the crazy impact of the water ghouls, the purple gold bowl kept shaking, and the monks and common people inside were all panicked and trembling.

Just when Xuanzang was frowning, the dog barked suddenly.

A majestic big black dog came treading water, like a tiger descending a mountain, and killed several water ghouls with three strikes, five cuts and two cuts.

"Scream!"

Xuanzang let out a cry of surprise.

Xiaotian shook his tail and said proudly: "Young monk, don't worry, I am here to save you under the orders of the immortal master."

Speaking of which, it rushed towards the fleeing water ghouls and chased them to the depths of the water, where Xuanzang's worrying voice could still be vaguely heard.

"Be careful……"

Xiaotian wagged his tail, thinking that with these chickens and dogs, he could hurt himself?

What a joke.

It chased all the way, showing great power, and killed many water ghouls in the water. It was really hearty and exhilarating, but it was a pity that no one saw it.

Satisfied, Xiaotian was ready to go back to look for the little monk again, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a muffled thunder in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, the muffled thunder continued to sound, continuously.

How can there be thunder under the water?

Xiaotian was puzzled, and swam towards the direction of the muffled thunder. It didn't know where it swam, and got into a big dark hole, bottomless.

After diving for tens of feet, Xiaotian stopped suddenly, his hairs all over his body stood on end, icy cold to the bone.

It finally knew why there was thunder at the bottom of the water, or rather, it wasn't thunder, but... the snoring of a monster!
In the crypt, there is a mountain shaped like a giant tortoise. Under the tortoise mountain, a huge monster shaped like a green ape is tied with a hundred-foot iron chain.

Xiaotian immediately tensed up.

In a daze, it seemed to have turned into a weak wild dog again, trembling under the pressure of blood, as if facing a terrifying giant beast that dominated one side in ancient times.

Xiaotian backed away slowly, for fear of disturbing the sleeping giant ape.

But at this moment, dozens of water ghouls rushed in, making sharp noises, as if they wanted to wake up the giant beast.

Suddenly, the scalp tingles.

Fortunately, the giant beast snored again, and the turbulent suction swallowed the water ghouls in one gulp, as if eating in a dream.

Xiaotian hugged the boulder beside him, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after the suction disappeared.

It was about to escape quietly, but it was horrified to find that the eyelids of the giant ape were trembling slightly after swallowing dozens of water ghouls.

wow~
With the sound of the chain, the giant ape slowly opened its eyes, revealing a dazzling golden light, like a hot flame.

Thanks to Mi Doudou and Qingjing Yifei for the two hundred rewards, love!
