Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77
Sunny and cloudless.

However, Li Daoxuan felt cold all over his body, especially his neck. The sapphire hairpin was only 0.01 centimeters away from his neck at this time. With a hard stab, blood would gushing like a pillar!
Fortunately, he subsided in time.

"Sister Yu, I'm just experimenting with my newly cultivated supernatural powers, there is absolutely no other meaning!"

He smiled and removed the jade hairpin, and said: "Sister Yu, this hairpin is for binding hair, what do you always do with it in your hand? How about I help you put it on."

Chen Ziyu looked at the drop of cold sweat rolling down his face, expressionless.

The next moment, her figure escaped into the oil-paper umbrella again.

"Sister Yu, you haven't said what you want from me?"

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the subject.

But Chen Ziyu obviously didn't want to talk to him, so the oil-paper umbrella didn't move.

"Sister Yu, are you really angry?"

"I really didn't mean that just now. How about if I change myself and show you the dance, we'll be evened?"

The oil-paper umbrella remained silent.

Li Daoxuan took the umbrella in his hand and tried to force it to open, but found that no matter how much force he used, the umbrella would not budge.

Just like a sulking little daughter-in-law...

Li Daoxuan could only smile wryly, and said in his heart that he should wait for her anger to subside before speaking.

……

A day later, on a remote mountain road.

If someone is here, they will definitely suspect that they have seen a ghost, because there are nine identical people practicing cross-legged in front of them.

The dao seals on their hands are constantly changing, and a khaki-yellow light appears faintly on their bodies, giving people a heavy and vicissitudes of life.

Like the vast land under your feet.

A sparrow flew over, or felt the natural and generous breath, and landed on the heads of several incarnations.

However, it didn't take long for the avatars to dissipate one by one, turning into strands of hair, which floated back into Li Daoxuan's long hair.

The sparrow flapped its wings and flew away in panic...

Li Daoxuan opened his eyes with a hint of joy.

Sure enough, it worked, after only one hour of practice, he felt that his understanding of the Earth Walking Pian was deepening, far better than before!

If this continues, he may soon be able to cultivate the technique of earth movement!
Li Daoxuan is going to retreat for a period of time after returning to Xinyang County, to achieve two goals, one is to break through the middle stage of Bigu, and the other is to complete the earth movement chapter of the Great Five Elements Escape Technique!
After training, he continued to drive towards Xinyang County. According to the distance, he should not be far from Xinyang County.

As it was getting late, he quickened his pace.

But when passing by Xiaosha Village, Li Daoxuan stopped, looked at the quiet village under the night, and smiled slightly.

It was in this village that he killed the bat demon, and because of this, he provoked the pursuit of the snake demon, and it was by chance that he met Master and Sister Yu.

He also liked the little granddaughter of the Muramasa family, but he hesitated for a while, and still didn't bother.

They have their own lives, and for this village that has finally calmed down, there is no need for a Taoist priest.

Maybe many years later, when Li Daoxuan came back here, even the little granddaughter of the old village is already old, and no one will remember him anymore.

Even if you enter the fairyland, there is always something between you and the world of mortals.

Shaking his head, Li Daoxuan was ready to move on.

However, the fire flashed, and it was a few patrolling police officers. When they saw Li Daoxuan, there was a trace of vigilance in their eyes, and they shouted: "Who is it, stop!"

Li Daoxuan frowned, looking at their clothes, they should be arresters from the Xinyang County Government, why did they appear in Xiaosha Village?
The policy of curfew will only be enforced in the city. Where will anyone take care of this remote village?
Li Daoxuan stopped, looked at the arresters, and said indifferently: "The poor road passes by here, I don't know what the arresters are doing?"

The detectives surrounded him, hands on the handle of the knife.

The head catcher stared at Li Daoxuan very vigilantly, his eyes flashed, and he said: "It's late at night, you are alone, how dare you go on your way?"

Li Daoxuan smiled lightly, and said: "Poverty Dao has his own self-protection skills, so I won't bother you, let me leave."

He took a step to leave.

The head catcher shouted loudly, and said: "You are possessed of witchcraft, and you happened to appear in Xiaosha Village in the middle of the night. I think that even if you are not the monster of that Tu village, you are absolutely inseparable. Catch me!"

Li Daoxuan stopped, and his body froze there.

He turned his head, his gaze was as sharp as a sword, the murderous aura of beating the big demon with his sword was something ordinary people could bear, and immediately made those arresters stay there as if they had fallen into a cave of ice.

"You just said... Tucun?"

There was a trace of remorse in the eyes of the chief catcher. He naturally didn't really think that this Taoist was the murderer, but wanted to catch someone casually and hurry up.

In ancient times, it was not difficult to solve a case. Many county magistrates first locked a suspect, and then directly tortured him until he confessed.

This is also the reason why detectives like Di Renjie and Bao Zheng are famous forever, because in ancient times, there were too few officials like them who could investigate cases!
The head catcher felt the murderous aura on Li Daoxuan, and knew that this person was not easy to provoke, so this time he was kicked on the iron plate.

He hurriedly said: "I misunderstood the Taoist priest. I don't know what murderer this Xiaosha village has provoked. They all turned into corpses overnight and were hung on the old locust tree in the middle of the village..."

The next moment, he saw the young Taoist's face was frosty, his long hair was windless, and a terrifying murderous aura filled the air, which made people shudder.

Li Daoxuan stepped forward, his figure disappeared out of thin air, and appeared ten feet away in an instant, and within a few steps, he entered Xiaosha Village.

"Ghost... ghost!"

Seeing this scene, several police officers regarded Li Daoxuan as a ghost, and fled in panic...

Xiaosha Village.

Lee Daoxuan stepped into the village again.

As soon as he entered here, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

Li Daoxuan's eyes were cold, he walked forward quietly, passed by the old village's house, and turned his head to look at it.

Once upon a time, he ate steamed cakes and white porridge in it. Although it was simple, he ate very happily.

But now the door is wide open, empty, and dead silent.

Going forward, Li Daoxuan came to the center of the village.

An old locust tree stood there quietly, with a curved trunk, which seemed a little overwhelmed.

Because it's full of corpses!
Whether old or young, male or female, they all looked terrified, their pupils widened, as if they had seen something very terrifying.

A gust of wind blew, and the corpse floated gently, like dried bacon.

Among the group of corpses, Li Daoxuan still saw the person he didn't want to see, Lao Cunzheng and his little granddaughter.

During the reign of Wude, all the sons and daughters-in-law of Lao Cunzheng died of famine, and he never survived the era of war and chaos. Finally, the world settled down, and he met an emperor who was lightly paid and poorly paid. He and his little granddaughter depended on each other.

But I don't want to, now they have become cold corpses.

The past was vivid in his mind, and Li Daoxuan's body was full of murderous aura, and he felt the cruelty of this world for the first time.

These people living at the bottom, after surviving natural disasters and wars, still have to face those terrible monsters!

Yes, Li Daoxuan was sure it was a monster, because he could smell a faint ghostly aura from these corpses, and the souls of these villagers were also gone.

Moreover, judging from the characteristics of the corpses, these villagers were killed first and then hung on the tree, but there were no traces of dragging on the ground.

The act of hanging on the tree is more like a demonstration...

If the murderer was a mortal, it would be difficult to do this without leaving a trace.

Li Daoxuan sighed, and was about to step forward to put them down, but at this moment, he felt something in his heart, and turned his head to look behind him.

In a dark corner, a pair of eyes are staring at him...
