Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 23
Hongzhou, Longevity Palace, Octagonal Lock Dragon Well.

A hundred feet below the water, a pair of huge pupils suddenly appeared, like two pale golden lanterns, and then waves began to grow in the originally calm underground canal, and there was a thick, deep, thunderous roar reverberating faintly.

A huge flood dragon woke up from its deep sleep, as if it had been stimulated by something, it was aroused wildly, struggling hard.

However, eight thick iron ropes were firmly wrapped around it, and there were golden runes flowing on the iron ropes. The more violent it struggled, the tighter the iron ropes became, until finally they were even embedded in the flesh.

In the depths of the Longevity Palace, in a secret room that has been closed all year round.

A Taoist priest with white eyebrows was sitting on the futon, his hands were tied in the Taishang seal, his five hearts were facing the sky, he was motionless, and he couldn't even see his breathing.

In front of him, eight iron pillars are used to form a strange gossip formation, and a divine sword is inserted in the center of the formation, which is the eye of the formation.

The divine sword is in the color of bronze, with thunder patterns, and the word Jingyang is engraved on one side, and the word Wanren is engraved on the other side, all of which are ancient seal characters.

At this moment, the divine sword suddenly trembled, shining brightly.

At the same time, the entire Longevity Palace was trembling slightly, and the faint dragon chant could even be heard.

The white-browed Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his sword finger, and a drop of blood flew out and landed on the sword. Then the divine sword stopped trembling, and the Longevity Palace returned to calm.

The roar also dissipated, as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.

The white-browed Taoist sighed softly, and said, "This evil dragon, who has been sleeping for sixteen years, suddenly went crazy again?"

Shaking his head, he closed his eyes again, and his breathing became long and subtle again.

……

Longshou Mountain.

The mountain got its name because of its shape like a dragon's head. The terrain is hidden, and the nearby villagers dug secret passages and caves in it to avoid wars and disasters.

At this moment, in the cave of Longshou Mountain, a large group of villagers gathered together and were discussing something under the auspices of the old villager.

"Cunzheng, we can't stay like this any longer, or the crops in the field will be ruined!"

"Yes, if we don't plant the land, what shall we spend the winter with?"

"Didn't Daoist Li say that he would help us get rid of that snake demon? Why hasn't there been any movement until now?"

"He won't forget us!"

The villagers talked a lot, with worries written all over their faces.

At first, they were worried about the snake monster's revenge, but as time went by, the fear of the snake monster faded away, replaced by the worry about winter.

For people in remote areas like them, every winter is a severe test of survival. In the beginning of spring, many familiar people may never be seen again.

Lao Cunzheng said: "I believe in Li Daochang, he is a man of great ability, if he says he will help us subdue demons, he will definitely do it!"

An old woman hesitated and said, "You guys think, is Daoist Li also afraid of the snake demon and has already run away?"

"I heard that the snake demon is much more powerful than the bat demon, and can even turn into a human to harm the girls!"

At this moment, a childish but firm voice sounded.

"Brother Daochang is not afraid of that snake demon!"

"Grandma Zhang, if you talk nonsense again, be careful that I will steal your pears!"

It was the granddaughter of the old village, she was holding a wooden stick, and said fiercely.

Granny Zhang was very angry and was about to reprimand when she heard someone shouting outside.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

"Grandma Zhang, your little grandson was swallowed by a big fish while swimming in the water!"

When Granny Zhang heard this, her heart was on fire, she couldn't catch her breath, and she passed out.

……

Longshou Mountain, an unnamed deep pool.

The water in the pond is bottomless and there are many fallen leaves floating on it. It looks quite and picturesque, but just now, when several children were swimming here, a big brown fish suddenly surfaced, more than three meters long. He swallowed Granny Zhang's little grandson in one gulp.

The other children fled ashore in a panic, and then told the news to the adults in the cave.

At this moment, Granny Zhang had woken up, lying on the edge of the pool and weeping bitterly. Not long after, her son and daughter-in-law rushed over. They were very anxious to hear the bad news, and the daughter-in-law was so anxious that she almost jumped into the pool.

There is only this single seedling in their family.

However, the house leak happened to be raining all night, and a sharp-eyed person noticed that there seemed to be a big snake approaching very fast in the distance.

"It's the snake demon, the snake demon has come to the door!"

"The snake demon is coming for revenge, everyone run away!"

People watched this scene in horror and were about to run away, but they heard Lao Cunzheng's granddaughter shouting in surprise: "It's not a snake demon, look quickly, it's brother Daochang!"

"Huh? It seems...it's really Daoist Li!"

"It's Daoist Li, he's dragging the snake demon!"

A moment later, with a bang, the body of a big snake was thrown on the ground, causing ripples in the distant pool.

A figure floated on the snake demon's head, wearing a blue Taoist robe, with long hair like ink, handsome and elegant, with a sheathed dagger hanging on one side and a small black gourd hanging on the other.

It was Li Daoxuan.

"Brother Taoist!"

Village Zheng's little granddaughter shouted happily, besides surprise, there was also a strong sense of pride on her little face, as if she had personally eliminated this snake demon.

Li Daoxuan looked at her visibly thinner face, stretched out his hand, and suddenly came out with two packs of candied fruit and dried mutton wrapped in oiled paper, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Brother, I can't let you scream for nothing, take them quickly." Let's eat."

The little granddaughter immediately showed a sweet smile, and the other children and even many adults were very envious.

Li Daoxuan waved his sleeve again, and the nearly five-foot-long corpse of the snake demon suddenly disappeared, as if he had hidden it in the sleeve.

In fact, Li Daoxuan put it into the gourd of the three realms. In order not to attract attention to the gourd, he made a gesture of waving his sleeves to cover it up.

Don't ask, it's all in your sleeves!

Seeing this scene, the villagers were even more astonished. They only felt that Li Daochang seemed to have become more powerful, almost like a fairy.

"Fathers and folks, you all saw the corpse of the snake demon just now. This demon has been eliminated by me. You can return to Xiaosha Village and continue farming!"

Hearing this, the villagers showed surprise in their eyes.

"Great, Li Daochang is really amazing!"

"Still called Li Daochang? It should be called Li Shenxian!"

"Yes, yes, Li Shenxian!"

……

Li Daoxuan arched his hands, and said: "The poor Taoist has important matters, so I won't bother everyone, and leave!"

As soon as he stepped on his feet, he was ready to perform the technique of shrinking the ground.

At this time, Grandma Zhang ran over suddenly, knelt down in front of Li Daoxuan with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly until her forehead was blue.

"I beg Li Shenxian to save my little grandson! Please!"

Li Daoxuan quickly supported her, and just as he was about to speak, Granny Zhang's son and daughter-in-law also ran over, knelt down together, and burst into tears.

"My son was swimming in the water just now, but was swallowed by a big fish, and now the fish is hiding in the bottom of the water, please save my poor son, Li Shenxian!"

Li Daoxuan frowned and said, "When did it happen? If it's too late, I'm afraid even if I kill that big fish, I won't be able to save people."

Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Granny Zhang's hands trembled excitedly, and said: "It's just now, it's what happened just now!"

Li Daoxuan walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the bottomless pool, channeled mana into his eyes, and saw a faint ghostly aura on the surface of the water.

It's a fish demon whose knowledge is still inexperienced. I'm afraid he hasn't even developed his spiritual wisdom yet, so the threat is not great.

But it hides at the bottom of the pool, but it is a bit difficult to deal with.

If he didn't get the gourd of the three realms, Li Daoxuan would definitely refuse to save people, after all, he was not willing to risk his life to go into the water.

But now...

Li Daoxuan sneered, and lightly tapped the Three Realms Gourd on his waist.

"Even if you hide in the bottom of the sea, Pindao will take you in today!"

"Pay me!"

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the gourd around his waist automatically floated up and hung above Li Daoxuan's head.

call!
The pool water was automatically sucked up, rolled up water columns, and quickly poured into the gourd.
