Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a hand stretched out and took the drink in front of Li Daoxuan.

"Haha, this little Daoist leader can't drink, so let me drink for him."

The person who spoke was a forthright man in his 30s with a thick beard and hair. He drank Li Daoxuan's wine in one gulp, showing a trace of intoxication, and said, "Good wine!"

Li Daoxuan looked at the wriggling worm in his teeth, and couldn't help secretly giving a thumbs up, this buddy is really brave.

In fact, when he first entered here, Li Daoxuan noticed this person, he was different from those villagers with stiff faces, his complexion was ruddy, and he was more like a living person.

The middle-aged man who led Li Daoxuan in saw that the wine had been drunk, so he said nothing, turned and left.

At this time, the bold man came over, patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder, and said very familiarly: "Young Daoist, you must be scared."

He said enthusiastically, "My name is Wang Chunsheng. I'm a medicine merchant. I went to the mountains to collect medicine last night and lost my way. I don't know how I came to this village."

"At the beginning, I also thought this village was very strange. Later, I learned that the daughter of the big family here, Mr. Chen, is going to get married. But Mr. Chen's daughter has been sick since she was a child. A Taoist told him that he should try to keep a low profile when getting married. , so as not to attract demons, that's why Master Chen chose to do it late at night, and didn't let the villagers say anything."

Li Daoxuan arched his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, for helping me out just now."

Wang Chunsheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. Besides, the wine here is very good. I also want to thank you for allowing me to drink another glass of fine wine."

Li Daoxuan knew that he had been fascinated by the mind, and it was obviously dirty wine, but it made him mesmerized.

"But these villagers are really strange."

Wang Chunsheng lowered his voice a little, and glanced at the three villagers sitting by the table. Their skin was like wax statues, and their eyes were dull, as if they hadn't woken up.

"I talked to them, but they ignored me. It's really scary to be motionless."

Li Daoxuan sighed in his heart, if they ignore you, I am afraid you will not be far from death.

These villagers should be just the most ordinary ghosts, muddle-headed and without wisdom. On the contrary, it was the middle-aged man and the mother-in-law wearing shrouds that made Li Daoxuan even more dangerous.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chunsheng seemed to be a little hungry. He shouted, "Isn't the bride here yet? When will the banquet start?"

As soon as the words were finished, all the villagers suddenly turned their heads and looked at him in unison. Those cold eyes made one's hair stand on end.

"Little Daoist...they...why do they look at me?"

Li Daoxuan signaled him to be quiet, and then pointed out the door.

"They are not watching you, they are watching outside the door. The bride and groom should be coming."

As soon as the words fell, on the red carpet, a tall and slender woman walked in, wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei. The neck under the red hijab was as white as jade, and the long skirt was as red as blood.

The moment the bride appeared, Li Daoxuan felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there were a pair of cold eyes staring at him under the red hijab.

"Xiao Daoist, although you can't see the face, but with this figure, tsk tsk, Master Chen's daughter is definitely a great beauty!"

Wang Chunsheng said with emotion, his eyes swept over the bride's slender and graceful body, and finally stopped on her pair of green and jade hands, with slender and elegant fingers, like bamboo shoots just born after a spring rain.

Li Daoxuan immediately noticed that the bride's gaze shifted from himself to Wang Chunsheng, he was relieved, and praised again, Brother Wang, you are really brave!

Wang Chunsheng was completely unaware that he was in extreme danger, and was still feeling emotional.

"Xiao Daoist, I don't know which man is so lucky to be able to marry Miss Chen, it's really enviable!"

Soon he knew the answer.

A figure came in, wearing the groom's attire, tied with red silk, and the other end of the silk was connected to the bride.

But what was surprising was that the groom was extremely ugly. Not only was he hunchbacked and his face was covered with pockmarks, but he also had dull eyes, drooling while walking, and looked very insane.

Miss Chen's marriage partner is... such a dirty and ugly man?

No one came to stop this weird scene. All the villagers, including the bride's father, who was the middle-aged man who had just brought Li Daoxuan in, were watching quietly.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

The servant yelled, and then several people knelt down on the bride and kowtowed with the groom forcibly.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

The bride struggled even harder.

"Bye husband and wife!"

The bride was forced to hold her head down by the servants, and kowtowed to the groom. Because of the struggle, a corner of the red hijab was lifted, revealing the snow-white chin.

Li Daoxuan frowned tightly, feeling very strange. Although the bride was struggling, she didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end.

At this time, a figure rushed up, it was Wang Chunsheng.

He said sternly: "What are you doing? Let her go, or I will report to the police!"

But when he heard the word reporter, the atmosphere in the field changed drastically.

The villagers who were originally dull-eyed suddenly "lived", their eyes became blood red, revealing a strong color of resentment, and wisps of black air emerged from them.

The villagers rushed towards Wang Chunsheng one after another, and even the servants ignored the bride. Their eyes were bloodshot, their bodies were enveloped in black air, their nails turned black, and they grabbed Wang Chunsheng.

The most horrifying thing was that the skin on their faces was quickly covered with maggots and became rotten and smelly.

Wang Chunsheng was obviously taken aback by fright, and he froze there.

But at this moment, a clear voice sounded.

"Five thunders and five thunders, meeting Huang Ning in a hurry, changing in a dense atmosphere, roaring and lightning, arriving immediately at the sound of the call, sending out a positive sound quickly, rushing like a law!"

Boom!

The cyan thunder pierced through the roof in an instant and smashed down.

There are two ways to use the five thunder talisman. One is to stick the talisman on the body of a monster or ghost, which can accurately attract thunder.

Another way to use it is to directly lead the thunder, and the caster controls the direction where the thunder will land, but it can only be a rough direction, which is prone to errors and is not accurate enough.

But at this moment, the group of ghosts appeared, and the darkness was overwhelming, even if Li Daoxuan closed his eyes, he would not miss.

It's sizzling!

The thunder light exploded, dazzling, and the power of heaven and earth raged among the ghosts, like the sky was furious.

For a moment, several servants let out a scream, and then disappeared.

Soul fly away!

At the same time, Li Daoxuan's "Book of Demon Swinging Heaven" vibrated, opened automatically, and new words appeared.

"In the early years of Zhenguan, in May, in Lijia Village, Hongzhou, Tang Dynasty, I beheaded three earth-bound spirits, and received a reward—March Daoxing!"

Streams of pure mana gathered in Li Daoxuan's body, which was equivalent to the result of his three months of hard work, which made his meager Tao suddenly improved.

Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed brightly, and he felt that his mana was full and his spirit was clear. With the improvement of his Taoism, he felt that his magical skills became faster.

In an instant, these ghosts with terrifying faces became much cuter in Li Daoxuan's eyes.
