Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 40
Li Daoxuan held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, a fish-gut sword hanging from his waist, and put all his luggage into the gourd of the three realms. He performed a magical movement and rushed to Yuzhang City, which was three hundred miles away.

After stepping into the early stage of bigu, his Taoism has advanced greatly, and the technique of shrinking the ground has become faster, and the surrounding scenery seems to be distorted, and he retreats quickly.

After walking for about an hour, the sky darkened.

Li Daoxuan didn't know where he went, it should be in a mountain forest surrounded by lush greenery.

He was going to find someone to ask the way first.

This is also an inconvenience in ancient times. Without a map to navigate, it is easy to get lost.

Li Daoxuan walked for a while, and finally saw an old man carrying firewood and preparing to go home.

The other party was startled when he saw a figure suddenly appearing in the forest, but he relaxed a lot when he saw that it was a Taoist priest.

Taoism was the state religion of the Tang Dynasty. Even Li Shimin said that his ancestor was Laozi Li Dan, so Taoism had a relatively high status in the Tang Dynasty.

"Poverty Daoxuan Li Daoxuan, I have seen a layman, where is this place?"

The old man was a little flattered when he saw the other party bowing to him, and quickly said: "The Taoist priest is polite, this is Cuiwei Mountain."

Cuiwei Mountain...

Li Daoxuan frowned and said, "Excuse me, Layman, how far is it from Yuzhang City?"

The old man smiled and said: "You are asking the right person. I have been to Yuzhang City once, crossed Cuiwei Mountain, headed east, and walked more than 100 miles to arrive."

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he did not go in the wrong direction.

He handed over a few copper coins and said, "A little heart, please accept it."

The old man didn't want to accept it at first, but under Li Daoxuan's strong request, he still accepted it. At this moment, he has a good impression of this handsome and delicate Taoist priest.

It is rare for a commoner of humble origin like him to be treated with such courtesy.

Just when Li Daoxuan was about to leave, the old man hesitated for a moment, but he stepped forward to persuade him: "This Taoist priest, are you planning to walk at night?"

Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Exactly, what's wrong?"

"If the Taoist leader doesn't mind, why don't you follow me to the foot of the mountain to stay overnight, the night road here...is not peaceful!"

Uneasy?
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Could it be that there are some dirty things here at night?"

There was a trace of fear in the old man's eyes, and he said: "To be honest, Daoist, some time ago, several people died strangely while walking at night. I heard that the eyeballs were very big. They must have seen some scary dirty things!"

"The government sent people to investigate. At first they said it was a Jiangyang thief, but soon the people in the government died. Like the previous few people, their eyes were very big. Since then, no one here dared to coming."

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, the old man trembled and said in fear, "Master Daoist, let's go down the mountain quickly!"

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you layman, but the poor Taoist still has important things to do, and he must hurry on his way as soon as possible, so I won't bother you."

"As for that dirty thing..."

Li Daoxuan calmed down and said leisurely: "If the poor Taoist really encounters it, he can get rid of it conveniently, and it can be regarded as getting rid of a disaster for the common people."

The old man wanted to continue persuading him, but he saw the young Taoist priest let out a long laugh and strode away.

"Master Dao, Dao—"

The old man froze there, because in the blink of an eye, the young Taoist priest disappeared, and the surrounding mountains and forests were silent, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

However, the old man looked at the few copper plates in his hand and was sure that it was not an illusion!
The old man shuddered. He felt that he had either met a mountain elf or a wild monster, or he had met an expert!
But thinking of the other party's polite appearance before, he should be a real worldly expert!

He decided to treat these copper coins as family heirlooms. After all, they were gifted by an expert, so there must be something special about them...

In Cuiwei Mountain.

Li Daoxuan slowed down, for fear that the dirty thing wouldn't be able to find him.

It's been a while since the Book of Swinging Demons has opened. I wonder if I can be lucky enough to meet a monster this time?
As for whether it is possible to fail?

After Li Daoxuan was promoted to the early stage of Bigu, he has practiced Taoism for more than ten years, plus various magic weapons, a fairy weapon, and a red dress, he is naturally full of confidence.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the moonlight in the mountains and forests is dim, and the surroundings are pitch black.

Li Daoxuan used his Dharma Eye, easily avoided the thorns, and walked the night road gracefully. The only thing that bothered him was perhaps the flying insects.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, just when Li Daoxuan thought his plan was about to fail, a blue flame suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

It's a will-o'-the-wisp!
When ordinary people see this scene, they must run away in fright, but Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked in the direction of the will-o'-the-wisp.

Not long after walking, there were more and more will-o'-the-wisps, and the surrounding area became brighter and brighter.

A figure stood in front of Li Daoxuan.

With his back facing Li Daoxuan, he was hunched over, wearing a large black robe, and his hair was light yellow.

Those will-o'-the-wisps surrounded him, and the cyan fire light shone on him, looking very strange.

Barren hills, ancient roads, will-o'-the-wisps, backs...

If a timid person saw this scene, he would probably faint from fright immediately, but for Li Daoxuan, it was just a small scene.

He carefully looked at the figure from the back. Although the other party was wearing human clothes, it gave off the feeling of wearing a monkey's crown.

It should be some kind of spirited monster.

At this moment, the figure turned around slowly, revealing a thin face with sly eyes and sharp chin, as if...

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he already guessed the opponent's heel.

"Young student, do you think I... do I look like a god?"

The man showed a piercing smile, his voice was hoarse, and he asked Li Daoxuan.

Hearing this question, Li Daoxuan's eyes were fixed, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes, and at the same time, he confirmed the guess in his heart.

The other party is not a person, but a yellow leather child!

The so-called Huangpizi is the refined weasel, which is also called Huang Daxian among the people.

Master once said that after a weasel has cultivated to a certain level, it will block the way and ask for a seal.

The so-called begging is to ask passers-by a question. If he asks if I look like a human, then the answer is that I look like a human. After that, the weasel can be transformed into a human form, and passers-by can survive. repay.

But there is one exception, which is extremely dangerous!

That was the situation Li Daoxuan was facing now. What Huang Pizi asked was not whether he looked like a human being, but whether he looked like a god!

How can a person have the right to enshrine a god, if the answer is like a god at this time, all the yang energy will be sucked away by the other party, and he will die suddenly;

This is a question that no matter how you answer it, you will die!

The master said that Huang Pizi, who would ask such a question, committed many killings at the beginning of his cultivation, and his body must be lingering with blood, and there are many grievances. If you encounter it, don't hesitate to kill it!

"Young student, look at me, do you look like a god?"

Seeing that Li Daoxuan didn't answer for a long time, Huang Pizi seemed a little anxious. He asked again, staring at Li Daoxuan with gloomy eyes, and yellow hairs appeared on that piercing face...
