Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 4
A look of surprise appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes, it turned out to be a magic spell!

Although the technique of talisman seal is good, it consumes a lot of yellow paper and cinnabar, and it is easy to fail in drawing. How can it be as chic and convenient as magic?

What kind of magician is a Taoist priest who can't spell?
Calling the wind and calling the rain, spreading beans to form soldiers, moving mountains to fill the sea, going out of the dark and into the dark... These are the ideals of a Taoist priest.

Li Daoxuan is very satisfied with this magical spell that shrinks the ground. He can fight and escape, and his ability to save his life is extremely strong, which is very suitable for him.

However, he didn't start practicing right away, but found a kitchen knife in the kitchen, then cut open the lower abdomen of the Bat Demon, and found the mung bean-sized demon pill in the dark flesh.

The demon pill is formed by monsters absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. It is very precious. Some medicine shops even offer a high price of one or two hundred taels of gold for the demon pill.

However, this thing cannot be taken directly, it needs to be refined into a elixir to remove the demonic power.

Li Daoxuan put it away, and then searched the dead rich man again, only a few taels of silver.

Not reconciled, Li Daoxuan ran to the bedroom to search again, but this time he found a lot, he found a whole 30 taels of silver, and two ingots of gold ingots, each ten taels, golden and attractive.

20 taels of gold is 200 taels of silver. Even if prices were high in the early years of Zhenguan, it was enough for a family to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing!
As expected of Lao Cai, the landlord of Xiaosha Village!

Li Daoxuan put away the gold and silver carefully, and suddenly felt that he had a lot of confidence. He was not afraid of being wanted by the government. Although this world is also the Tang Dynasty, it is different from the Tang Dynasty in history, with many demons rampant.

For a traitor like the rich man who colluded with demons, he died as soon as he died, and the government generally didn't care too much.

……

Muramasa's house.

Lao Cun was hugging his granddaughter, the two of them were already a little drowsy, and they were about to fall asleep in a daze. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lao Cun was shocked, and quickly covered his granddaughter's mouth to prevent her from speaking.

The person standing outside the door may not be a living person.

But then a clear voice sounded, making him feel relieved.

"Master Muramasa, I am Li Daoxuan, the sorcerer who exterminates demons. I have killed the bat demon. It's bitterly cold in the middle of the night, and I'm hungry in my stomach. Can I ask for some food?"

Batman is dead?

There was a trace of astonishment in Lao Cunzheng's eyes, and more doubts.

He let his granddaughter continue to hide under the quilt, walked to the door by himself, hesitated for a while, and opened the door slowly.

Under the moonlight, a huge bat demon stood there with a blue face and fangs, making people shudder.

Lao Cunzheng's scalp was numb, and panic appeared in his eyes, and he was about to close the door with trembling hands, but the next moment, the terrifying bat monster fell to the ground, revealing the handsome Taoist priest behind him.

Li Daoxuan showed a gentle smile, kicked the bat demon, and said: "Cunzheng, don't be afraid, this guy has been killed by me with the thunder."

Lao Cunzheng's gaze was shocked, and he saw that the bat demon's body was covered in scorched black, and it had long been silent.

A small figure rushed out and shouted excitedly: "Brother Taoist, you are not dead!"

She saw the terrifying corpse of the bat demon being stepped on by Li Daoxuan, her big eyes were full of fear and excitement, and finally turned into admiration.

……

After a while.

The entire Xiaosha Village was alarmed, and countless villagers got up in the middle of the night to see this bat demon who had been doing evil for many years.

Some families who were persecuted by the Bat Demon kept tearing up the bat demon's body with a hatchet.

Batmale is dead!

Xiaosha Village, which has always been silent at night, has become lively at this moment. People are running around, cheering and shouting excitedly, just like celebrating the New Year.

Li Daoxuan, on the other hand, was eating his food.

The food is not rich, only a few pieces of steamed cakes, a bowl of gruel with some wild vegetables floating in it, and the most extravagant dish may be the plate of dried mutton preserved by the old village.

This simple old man couldn't bear to let the demon-eliminating hero eat so poorly, so he took out the dried meat for the Chinese New Year from the cellar and gave it all to Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan feasted on it like a storm, like a starving ghost.

In the early years of Zhenguan, the world had just ended the war, all industries were depressed, and prices were extremely high. After Li Daoxuan traveled through time, most of the money he earned from eliminating demons was used to buy yellow paper and cinnabar, and he never ate enough.

Muramasa's little granddaughter looked at the dried meat on the table and swallowed.

Li Daoxuan grabbed a few pieces and handed them to her, she immediately showed a bright smile, her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, licking the jerky like a baby, for fear that she would finish it after chewing.

This is the people in the early years of Zhenguan. If it wasn't for the village's main family, maybe there wouldn't even be jerky.

A piece of jerky is the delicacy that many people dream of.

After Li Daoxuan was full, he left a tael of silver on the table and prepared to leave quietly.

But the old villager came over with some old people in the village, and many villagers followed behind him, all looking at Li Daoxuan with awe-inspiring eyes.

Many people are still discussing in low voices.

"I've seen it for a long time. Although Xiao Daoist is young, he is a capable person at first glance!"

"Huh? How do I remember you told me that the old monk looked the most powerful?"

"This priest is not only capable, but also handsome!"

……

Lao Cunzheng and those old people came to Li Daoxuan, and then knelt down towards him, not only them, but the villagers behind him also knelt down.

The little granddaughter rubbed the dried mutton, blinked blankly, and knelt down towards Li Daoxuan under the gesture of others.

Li Daoxuan frowned, and quickly stretched out his hand to help the old villager, saying: "No need to do this, subjugating demons and eliminating demons is something that cultivators of my generation should do. Besides, it's just a little bat demon, you don't have to do that!"

Old Village Zheng didn't get up, but pleaded to Li Daoxuan: "Li Daoxuan has great powers, please help us get rid of all evils!"

Li Daoxuan asked suspiciously: "Isn't this bat demon already dead?"

"Daozhang Li doesn't know that this bat god...the bat demon is actually the Wutong God from Luanshi Mountain thirty miles away from the village. They suddenly appeared in the third year of Wude, that is, seven years ago, and caused disasters in the village.

We also reported to the officials, but the previous county lord wanted to demolish the Wutong Temple, and the whole family died tragically. Afterwards, no one dared to resist, and the new county lord even renovated the Wutong Temple for them! "

Wutongshen refers to the five kinds of spirited monsters enshrined by the folks. They are generally nocturnal animals. They will cause great harm to the livestock and fields raised by farmers. Therefore, people hate them and have to Worship, pray that they let themselves go.

Wutongshen, although he has the name of a god, is actually a great evil, belonging to the evil gods.

Li Daoxuan was shocked, and said: "So, what you mean is that there are four other monsters like this bat demon?"

Lao Cunzheng shook his head and said: "Fortunately, three years ago, a passing Taoist took away three of the five gods. Unfortunately, for some reason, he spared the remaining two. , and drifted away."

"So besides the Bat Demon, there is one Wutong God left?"

"That's right, he calls himself the Qing Emperor, and he likes promiscuous wives and daughters the most. For girls with a radius of tens of miles, many of the girls who are more beautiful have been harmed by him!"

Li Daoxuan was relieved when he heard that there was only one left. If there were four more, he could only run away quickly.

But a thought popped up suddenly, sending a chill down his back.

It is said that there is a unique feeling among the Wutong Gods, and he killed the bat demon himself. Could it be that the monster who called himself Qingdi already knew about it and came to take revenge?

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt like a glow on his back. Looking up at the night sky, he felt that there seemed to be a man-hungry beast hiding in the darkness.

Even the moon seemed to be dimmed a bit.

escape!We must flee quickly!
Li Daoxuan had a premonition that the monster who called himself Qingdi was far more terrifying than this bat demon!
Now his mana has only recovered [-]%, and there are not many talismans left, so what can he use to subdue the demon?

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do, so I will take my leave first."

Li Daoxuan took a step forward and wanted to escape from here, but he stopped after walking a few steps.

He turned his head to look at the villagers who were still kneeling. If he escaped, would the monster who called himself Qing Emperor use them to vent his anger?
Muramasa's little granddaughter looked at A Weng with gloomy eyes, and then at Li Daoxuan who was about to leave. Her little head still couldn't figure out what happened and why the atmosphere was so heavy all of a sudden.

She held the half-licked dried mutton in both hands, although she was reluctant to give it up, she still said: "Brother Taoist, I... I only licked a little bit, and I will give you the rest, can you help Ah Weng?"

Li Daoxuan froze there.

She thought that Li Daoxuan disliked her for licking it, and said in a crying voice: "Brother Taoist, Ah Ye is not dirty, and Ah Ye will obediently rinse his mouth with poplar branches every morning..."

To flee or to stay?

Li Daoxuan was silent for a long time, he sighed lightly, and finally made a choice.
