Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

The spring grass follows the sky and looks north, and the sunset floats and the water flows eastward.

Sunset is approaching.

A man and a woman are walking in the city of Chang'an. The man is tall and straight, dressed in white, and the woman is graceful and graceful, with a green skirt like a cloud. They walk side by side, like a pair of people.

It's a pity that the man was holding an oiled paper umbrella, which covered most of the faces of the two of them, otherwise the rate of turning heads would have increased a lot.

Although Chen Ziyu is no longer afraid of the sun, perhaps because of her previous experience as a ghost, she doesn't like the sun, so Li Daoxuan held an umbrella for her and took her around Chang'an City and Qingyi Temple at the same time.

Looking at the people coming and going around, as well as the renovated and rebuilt pavilions, Li Daoxuan couldn't help showing a trace of emotion in his eyes.

It seems that not long ago, he took another woman to visit Chang'an, and now he brought another one, who is also the other's apprentice...

But to be honest, the fragrance on Sister Yu's body is somewhat similar to that of Empress Tsing Yi, both of which are the fragrance of lotus, but Sister Yu is lighter, like a flower stamen that has just bloomed, while Empress is more fragrant.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a master and apprentice...

The two walked through a place and found that there were three stone sculptures. In the middle was carved a heroic man with fluttering hair and an electric glow all over his body. He was dressed in silver armor and had firm eyes. Unyielding fighting spirit.

It was the scene where Li Daoxuan swallowed the thunder without fear of heaven's punishment after beheading Wuzhiqi with the law of heaven.

There are many flowers and offerings in front of the statue.

Some people bowed devoutly and said sadly: "Real Li, although you have passed away, you will always live in our hearts!"

"My Tang Dynasty, I can never find a good national teacher like you again!"

"National teacher, go all the way!"

……

Li Daoxuan's face darkened, what do you mean I passed away?

Chen Ziyu's eyes were slightly cold, her hair was fluttering, and she said coldly: "I will send them to the Qingming Realm."

Li Daoxuan was so frightened that he quickly grabbed her hand and said, "No, they just don't understand, and the starting point is still good."

Li Daoxuan stared at the statue with a dignified gaze.

At that time, his blood was boiling, and he pierced Wu Zhiqi's heart with his sword without much thought, and he didn't care about the so-called punishment of heaven. Now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid that punishment has already begun.

After beheading Wuzhiqi, he obtained the Xuanming True Water, but because of his carelessness, he took the reward before reaching the Yang God Realm, and as a result, he almost died. .

If he had been able to calm down and think more at that time, perhaps this result could have been avoided.

After all, when he awakened Erlang Zhenjun Dongkaitian Eye to understand the Dharma, he had suffered severe pain once. If his master hadn't been protecting him, his life might have been in danger.

Logically speaking, a cautious person like him shouldn't have forgotten his lessons, but Li Daoxuan just forgot.

It was as if an invisible force had quietly blinded his spiritual perception, so that misfortune and fortune suddenly came and changed instantly.

Li Daoxuan faintly felt that this might be the punishment of heaven after beheading Wuzhiqi, so Li Chunfeng said that there was black energy condensed in his Yintang after observing each other.

No wonder Dayu didn't kill Wuzhiqi...

Li Daoxuan shook his head, he didn't regret beheading Wuzhiqi, but he needed to be more careful when doing things in the future.

"Water God Empress, please bless this year with good weather and good weather, and there must be no more natural disasters!"

Next to the statue of Li Daoxuan, there are two other statues, one is Guan Erye who immediately cuts his sword, and the other is a slender woman walking alone with an umbrella, with fluttering blue hair, and only a cold and mysterious back.

It was Chen Ziyu.

When she entered Chang'an, she stepped on the water and rescued some people, but faced with the further requests of those people, she ignored them and went straight to help Li Daoxuan.

From the beginning to the end, she never looked directly at those people, so many people only saw a beautiful back shrouded in divine brilliance.

Even so, she is now extremely popular in Chang'an, and many people call her the Empress of the Water God and worship her devoutly every day.

Even though she has never answered the prayers of any believers, she is still sought after by countless people and regarded as a goddess.

"Sister Yu, these people can be regarded as your first batch of believers. I think they are quite pious. Why do you ignore them?"

Li Daoxuan saw that after they kowtowed, wisps of incense and fire were condensed with divine power, and there were not many impurities, which were relatively pure, indicating that these believers were relatively pious.

For most gods, this kind of devout believer is quite precious.

Chen Ziyu frowned slightly, and said with some doubts: "They worship me, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Daoxuan froze for a moment, wanted to refute, but felt that he had nothing to say.

Well, this is indeed Sister Yu's temperament, and it sounds quite reasonable.

All sentient beings worship me, what does it have to do with me?
Is it because all living beings worship me that I have to run around for those strangers, even sacrificing my own interests?

Thinking about it this way, Li Daoxuan felt that Sister Yu might not be suitable for walking the way of God, but more suitable for walking the way of immortality.

Immortals, what they seek is freedom and detachment, to get rid of the shackles of the world and life and death, to swim in the world, to do what they want, to jump out of the three realms, not in the five elements!
"Candied haws, the last one, let's sell it cheap!"

A middle-aged man walked by with candied haws on his shoulders, and there was only the last one left, reflecting a seductive luster in the setting sun.

Chen Ziyu's gaze was immediately attracted, and slowly turned following the candied haws.

She didn't speak, just tugged at Li Daoxuan's sleeve.

Li Daoxuan shook his head and laughed, what a god, Sister Yu is still Sister Yu, she just has a pure heart.

When he was in Qingyang County, he used a few candied haws to deceive Sister Yu's trust, and then gradually brought the distance between them closer.

"Want to eat?"

"Ah."

"But I don't seem to have any money with me."

Chen Ziyu looked around after hearing the words, and finally stopped her gaze on the statue of Li Daoxuan. Those eyes were made of brass, which looked more valuable.

Li Daoxuan coughed quickly, and said: "Bring it, bring it, sister Yu, don't be impulsive!"

After a while, Chen Ziyu held candied haws and left with Li Daoxuan.

At this time, a woman who had just bowed to the water god empress raised her head. She got up and was about to leave, but her eyes suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the back of the woman in the distance.

Wearing a green dress, hair like waterfalls, and a slender and graceful figure.

"Like... really like..."

It wasn't until her friend patted her on the shoulder that she woke up like a dream, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the figure had disappeared.

"what happened to you?"

Friends are concerned.

"I think... I saw the Water Goddess!"

"Ah? Really? Where is the Water Goddess?"

The friend said excitedly.

"I must have read it wrong, the empress... how could there be a man by her side?"

"And it looks... seems to be very intimate."

The friend was disappointed and said: "That must not be the goddess of water. I heard that the goddess is the god of water in Xiaoxiang. She is the most pure and pure. How can any man in the world be worthy of her?"

"Which man do you think is Master Li?"

……

Empress Tsing Yi was canonized as the Heavenly Mother of the Tang Dynasty, the Empress of Nine Heavens Xuanyin Tsing Yi, and her temple was built in the Dongshi City where every inch of land was expensive, near Zhuque Street, opposite to Xuandu Temple.

Nowadays, the most popular ones in Chang'an City are Qingyi Temple and Xuandu Temple.

Those who go to the Xuandu Temple do not want to drink alcohol, but because of Li Daoxuan's reputation, while those who go to the Tsingyi Temple are generally followers of Tsingyi Empress.

The flood raged in Chang'an, knocking down many high-rise buildings, but kept away from Tsing Yi Temple, not even a drop of water entered the Tsing Yi Temple.

During the flood, this Tsing Yi Temple sheltered many people. Such a miracle would naturally be worshiped by people. For a while, the incense was at its peak, even more than that of Xuandu Temple.

Some people even said that the goddess who helped the national teacher kill the giant ape was sent by Empress Tsing Yi.

Therefore, whether it is the local residents of Chang'an City, tourists and merchants from other places, or even students who are going to Beijing for the exam, they all want to go to Qingyi Temple to offer incense and petition.

The originally quiet temple is now lined up with endless long queues.

In order to maintain order, Li Shimin even specially dispatched forbidden soldiers and bad people here, for fear that someone would bump into Empress Tsing Yi.

So when Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu arrived at Tsing Yi Temple, even though it was getting late, what they saw was still a long dragon. The temple was full of incense, and wisps of smoke shrouded the roof, which looked like colorful clouds under the setting sun.

This kind of sight undoubtedly attracted more people, and made them prefer to wait until the curfew before leaving.

When Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu came, they looked at them one after another.

The point is to look at Chen Ziyu, there is no way, her figure and temperament are too eye-catching, Xiaoxiang Goddess, with a lotus body, even if her appearance is deliberately blocked by an oiled paper umbrella, many people are amazed.

Li Daoxuan supported the lotus green umbrella, and let down strands of invisible magic power, which can make ordinary people unable to see their appearance clearly.

He took Chen Ziyu who had finished eating candied haws, and walked straight to the temple.

"Hey, why don't you line up?"

"That's right, this is Tsing Yi Temple, be careful of your mother's blame!"

"I was talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

……

Li Daoxuan coughed, with a slightly embarrassed expression, the lotus green umbrella in his hand drooped a little more, and he accelerated towards the temple.

"stop!"

The unscrupulous people on duty at the gate of the temple stood in front of them, and said in a deep voice, "No matter which family you belong to, this is Tsing Yi Temple, how can you wait—"

Li Daoxuan slowly raised the umbrella and removed the cover of mana.

This slightly immature delinquent looks like he is only in his 20s, but his eyes are very firm and piercing.

But when he saw Li Daoxuan's face, his whole body was shaken, his eyes seemed to light up, and he was very excited.

"country--"

"Shh!"

Li Daoxuan made a silent gesture to him, signaling him to keep quiet.

"I have something important to see Empress Tsing Yi, so I have to cut in line, please close the doors and windows later, and don't let anyone in."

Hearing this, the young delinquent stood upright, cupped his fists and said, "No!"

He looked at Li Daoxuan with admiration and excitement at the same time.

Not only because I saw the national teacher I admire the most, but also because there were many rumors before that the national teacher was seriously injured or even passed away.

For this reason, he also fought with others.

It's all right now, when he saw the unscathed and energetic national teacher appearing in front of him, those rumors were self-defeating.

The national teacher was not injured, let alone passed away, he is still guarding Chang'an!

"By the way, when you saw me, don't say anything."

After saying this, Li Daoxuan dragged Chen Ziyu into the temple.

The next moment, the door that was originally open was quickly closed, and the young unscrupulous man held the handle of the knife at his waist, and stood outside the door imposingly, with piercing eyes, staring at anyone who dared to approach.

At this time, he seemed to have a noble sense of mission, even if he risked his life, he would never let anyone enter the temple to disturb the national teacher.

"What's going on, why did you close the door?"

"Officer, who was that person just now? How could he not line up?"

"Yes, sir, this is too unfair!"

The young delinquent smiled proudly and said, "If even he has to queue, that would be truly unfair."

As a bad person, he is very aware of the contribution made by the national teacher to Chang'an, and as a practitioner, he is even more aware of the huge risk that the national teacher took when he killed Wu Zhiqi.

"Da Yu dare not kill you, I dare!"

"Heaven will not let you die, I will come!"

Such strong words made the young man's blood boil with enthusiasm, and that night when he looked up at the figure with a height of hundreds of feet, who pierced Wu Zhiqi's heart with a sword amidst lightning and thunder, it seemed that there was a kind of power stirring in his heart.

After that, Master Li Zhenren was the person he admired the most.

……

The Tsing Yi Temple is very quiet, the decoration is simple and elegant, not magnificent, it looks very clean and tidy, full of rich sandalwood.

The statue of Empress in Tsing Yi stands quietly on the shrine, sacred and solemn, compassionate and holy, watching the skylark in her palm, with a lifelike and moving expression.

As a practitioner, even if he didn't open his eyebrows and heavenly eyes, he could still see the astonishing power of incense gathered around the statue.

Ordinary people will only feel sacred and solemn when they see this statue, and dare not give birth to any blasphemy.

But in the eyes of practitioners, this statue is shining all the time, with vivid eyebrows and eyes, and it seems that it will come alive in the next moment. This is because the incense is too strong, which makes the statue produce all kinds of magic.

There are many deserted or declining temples among the people. Sometimes when people enter them, they will feel inexplicably cold, and even give people a feeling of chills in the back. He said, goosebumps all over his body.

This is because those temples were once glorious, and the statues absorbed a lot of incense, so they had some magic.

Looking at the statue of Empress Tsing Yi, Li Daoxuan subconsciously let go of Sister Yu's hand.

It's really a guilty conscience.

You know, not long ago he held his mother's hand, and now he is holding his apprentice, and just kissed...

The meeting between master and apprentice was about to happen, Li Daoxuan's heart beat a little faster for some reason.

Chen Ziyu turned her head sideways, looked at him with some doubts, took his hand actively, and said, "Aren't you on good terms with my master? Why are you still nervous?"

Li Daoxuan showed a wry smile, which is very good, but the problem is that it is too good.

At this moment, the crisp bird chirping sounded.

The skylark in the hand of the idol came alive first, the stone body shattered, revealing brown feathers, fluttering its wings and flying happily.

"Haha, this fairy can finally come out and play for a while!"

"Li Daoxuan, Madam asked me to tell you that she is refining alchemy and she will be fine soon, let you wait—"

Little Que'er's chirping stopped suddenly, because it saw the hands of Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu holding each other.

The small eyes instantly widened, full of shock.

"You...you..."

It once saw Li Daoxuan holding hands with the empress, and now it saw the disciple of the empress, the saint of the Qingming world also holding hands with Li Daoxuan, it was shocked like a thunderbolt.

His small mind became even more chaotic, with a confused look on his face.

Intuition told it that it seemed to have seen an even more remarkable thing.

"Lee Daoxuan, I, I will fight with you!"

At this moment, Xiao Que'er only had one sentence left in her mind.

Lee Daoxuan betrayed his empress!

"I'll peck you to death!"

It flew towards Li Daoxuan, trying to nudge Li Daoxuan with its beak, but Li Daoxuan grabbed his neck with his backhand.

"Fa Tian... Xiang Di!"

Xiao Que'er used her housekeeping skills, and her body continued to grow.

But it soon discovered that no matter how big it became, it couldn't escape Li Daoxuan's palm. As it got bigger, Li Daoxuan's palm seemed to be getting bigger, as if the universe was boundless.

Tiangang's supernatural powers, move stars to change battles!

Li Daoxuan's eyes were deep, as if there were stars flowing, he looked down at Xiao Que'er who was full of despair, and said with a smile: "Little Que'er, are you convinced or not?"

Little Que'er was downcast, even the dull hair on his head was listless.

The little Taoist priest who called it Bird Fairy and dug worms for him back then has become so strong now, as unpredictable as his empress.

At this moment, Chen Ziyu's voice sounded faintly.

"Or bake it?"

Little Que'er trembled and trembled.

Holy lady, how can you be so ruthless? You must know that when you are in the lotus, I often talk with you to relieve boredom...

"Don't scare it any more."

Just when Xiao Que'er was about to cry, a warm and clear voice sounded, which made people feel close subconsciously.

In the twilight, a vast power descended out of thin air, benevolent, calm, vast, and compassionate, like an endless starry sky and a vast universe.

Empress Tsing Yi is here.
