Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 177

ten days later.

The flood in Longyou County has receded long ago, and the people are in full swing of reconstruction work.

During the Zhenguan period, the government was still very efficient in handling affairs. The governor of Hongzhou rushed to Longyou County in person, allocated funds to distribute food, and resettled the refugees, so that the disaster situation quickly stabilized.

Li Daoxuan also helped the common people with earth-moving supernatural powers, building high walls, moving huge stones, mortals and monks, working together, appearing very harmonious.

Two stone sculptures stood up.

One is a huge flying bird, carrying many people on its back, flying out of the torrential flood.

The other one is a stalwart and handsome young Taoist. He holds a magic sword in one hand and pinches a dragon in the other. His eyes are sharp and his momentum is magnificent.

The two stone sculptures were carved by the governor of Hongzhou who specially spent a lot of money to find a master. They are lifelike and have a unique charm. When the people see these two statues, they will stop spontaneously and bow down to express their gratitude.

The governor wanted to win over Li Daoxuan and asked him to work in the court, but Li Daoxuan refused.

It's not time for him to leave the teacher yet.

Besides, in Liling City, there is still a magic weapon waiting for him...

That night.

In order not to disturb the people, Li Daoxuan and his master left the county quietly.

Accompanied by the sky full of stars, the two masters and apprentices set foot on the distant road again, wearing simple Taoist robes.

They took nothing but a jug of good wine.

The silver taels rewarded by the governor were all distributed to the people by them.

Those suffering from the flood need it more than they do.

At the gate of the city, Wu Qiubai bowed deeply to the backs of the two of them. He has become a lot more mature, and there is a bit of firmness between his brows.

It wasn't until the figures of the two of them disappeared that Wu Qiubai sighed softly, turned and left.

The master and apprentice did not know that after the reconstruction of Longyou County, it was renamed Xinjian County to commemorate the Taoist who saved them from the flood and helped them rebuild their homes.

"Xinjian County Chronicles" recorded this period of history that was regarded as a legend by later generations.

"On the night of the thirteenth day of the first month in the second year of Zhenguan, there was a heavy rain from the sky, flooding the dragons, the dragons did evil, and devoured countless people. A cloud bird came from the east, carrying the blue sky on its back, and saved the people from the flood."

"The celestial master Li Daoxuan cut the dragon in Xihe and rebuilt Longyou. After approval by the government, it was renamed Xinjian in memory of benefactor."

……

The next day, the morning was bright and the sun was as red as a wheel.

Li Daoxuan and his master have left Hongzhou.

This time, the master didn't ask him to walk slowly to visit the scenery, but seemed a little anxious, running the magic movement of shrinking the earth overnight, trying to get to Liling City as soon as possible.

When resting, the master explained many secrets of practice to him, and asked him to recite Taoist classics, as if he wanted to pass on everything he had learned quickly.

Master coughed more and more frequently, and with his open-minded and unruly temperament, his brows were kept tightly furrowed.

Li Daoxuan knew that Master was being tormented by the sword energy of the Three-Five Slashing Evil Male and Female Sword, so he was able to talk and laugh freely, and his concentration was already extremely strong.

Reminiscent of the action of the master taking him to find his uncle, Li Daoxuan faintly guessed what the master was thinking.

The master is worried that if he dies, he will not make it through, so that he can entrust himself to a trustworthy junior.

Li Daoxuan didn't say anything, but silently recited the name of the Ghost King of Xudu.

He had a small book in his heart, the Xudu ghost king had reached the top, and Pan Dan was the second in line.

Practicing the "Purple Qi Nourishing Yuan Gong" in the morning, rushing on the road during the day, and practicing the "Golden Light Mantra" at night. In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Fortunately, the golden light mantra taught by my senior sister was very effective. After practicing a few times, my master got a glimpse of the way, his brows relaxed a lot, and the frequency of coughing also decreased.

In the afternoon of that day, the two of them entered the boundary of Xuanzhou, which was not far from Liling City.

Compared with Hongzhou, Xuanzhou has more Jiangnan charm.

Looking around, the eyes are full of green, the mountains are dark green, and the water is light green. Even in winter, it can't stop the vitality.

The air was unusually fresh, but it was a bit clammy and cold to the bone. Fortunately, Li Daoxuan was strong and strong, and had mana to protect him. Although the Taoist robe was thin, he didn't feel cold.

"Going forward a few dozen miles, we should arrive at Liling City."

There was a trace of expectation in Zhang Qianyang's eyes. He and that junior brother hadn't seen each other for many years, and they missed him very much.

The two grew up together and had a very good relationship. When he left Longhu Mountain, the other party also left the mountain in anger, and wandered around in Liling City, making a living by telling fortunes and selling medicine, expressing his dissatisfaction with the old man.

Li Daoxuan nodded, and was about to speak when suddenly the green dragon tattoo on his back became slightly hot.

His heart sank, and he immediately opened his eyebrows and sky eyes, and looked around.

I saw a thick fog floating in the distance, with a faint cloudy air sandwiched in the fog, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Zhang Qianyang also noticed the dense fog. He sneered and said, "This fog is mixed with yin energy, which can make people lose their way and make people lose their minds. Hehe, I want to see, what's wrong with this broad daylight and bright heaven and earth?" The evildoer in my eyes, dare to come to seek death?"

Li Daoxuan also showed no fear at all, instead there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

After beheading Jiaolong, he hasn't opened for a long time.

The thick fog hit, and the two of them were quickly swept in, and the exclamation of pedestrians in front could be heard vaguely.

"There's so much fog, why can't I see anything?"

"Didn't everyone say that there is often fog in the mountains, so it suddenly fogs up here?"

An old man familiar with the local situation shouted: "Don't run around, try to hold your breath, this is because the river god of Zhaofu River in front is angry!"

……

The master and apprentice Li Daoxuan had magical powers to protect their bodies, and the fog did not invade their bodies, but their vision was also greatly blocked.

Li Daoxuan opened his eyes to see clearly.

He was a little puzzled and said: "Master, I remember you once said that the forests in the mountains are dense and the sunlight is thin, which is easy to breed evil spirits, so there is often fog, which makes people get lost in it, and finally dies of hunger and cold."

"But this is not in the mountains, how could there be such an evil fog?"

Zhang Qianyang shook his head and said: "This is really rare, let's dispel the fog first, otherwise these people will inhale too much fog and easily become insane."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qianyang raised his fingers, mobilized his magic power, and silently recited the mantra.

"Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the root of all qi. Extensive cultivation for thousands of kalpas, to prove my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the three realms, only the Tao is the only one. There is a golden light in my body, reflecting my body."

Rays of golden light bloomed on his body, and the surrounding mist dissipated like snow meeting boiling oil under the golden light.

He opened his eyes, feeling slightly complacent.

In just a few days, he was able to practice the Golden Light Mantra to this level, which is enough to be proud of.

When he saw that his apprentice hadn't made a move yet, he couldn't help urging him: "You also cast the Golden Light Mantra, just to inspect your progress for the teacher. If there is something you don't understand, you can ask the teacher."

Li Daoxuan coughed and said, "Master, I don't need it."

Zhang Qianyang looked at the mist that was sweeping around again, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, use it quickly, I see that you have neglected your practice these days, so you know how to bother Empress Tsing Yi."

Li Daoxuan pouted, he contacted Empress Tsing Yi every night, didn't he want to find out more about the situation of the ghost king?

In desperation, he had no choice but to raise his fingers and recite the mantra.

"Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the root of all qi. Extensive cultivation for thousands of kalpas, to prove my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the three realms, only the Tao is the only one. There is a golden light in my body, reflecting my body."

Dazzling golden lights shot out, several times brighter than the one that bloomed on Zhang Qianyang just now, like the rising sun, illuminating all directions, exorcising evil spirits, suppressing ghosts and binding demons!

The mist with a radius of hundreds of feet will collapse instantly if it encounters a natural enemy, and the sky and earth will return to clarity, only the golden light is strong, sacred and immortal!
