Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 5
Late at night, midnight.

Heart-piercing shouts came from a family in Sanhe Village. A man stood outside the house and clenched his fists. His teeth were almost crushed, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The person screaming inside the house was his wife.

I don't know how long it took, the shouting gradually became hoarse, filled with a kind of despair like ashes.

After a while, a white-faced young man in a fine attire came out, with dark brows, long and narrow pupils, and a proud expression, without even looking at the man, he casually threw a piece of ancient jade to him.

"I had a great time today, thank you."

After saying that, the white-faced Xiaosheng turned into a long blue snake, and flew towards the distance with a gust of evil wind.

The man walked into the house and saw his wife, whose clothes were stained with blood, who had fallen into a coma. He knelt down and slapped himself hard.

……

The snake demon walked against the wind, and soon came to Luanshi Mountain and landed in front of Wutong Temple.

"Xiao Wu, are you back?"

"Have you eaten enough today?"

He walked into the temple with a smile and greeted Fifth Brother as usual, but soon the smile on his face froze.

Because in the Wutong Temple, the statue with the blue face and fangs has been reduced to pieces at this moment.

This means that Xiao Wu...has encountered an accident!

The snake demon's eyes quickly turned scarlet, he spit out the snake letter, and the tail behind him trembled violently, making harsh noises...

……

Xiaosha Village.

Under the command of the village official, the villagers quickly packed up their food and belongings and headed towards Longshou Mountain in the east.

During the reign of Wude, the heroes competed for the throne, and the wars were endless. In order to avoid the flames of war, the local people dug some dark rooms with secret passages in Longshou Mountain. Now, in order to avoid the revenge of the snake demon, they had to hide there again.

Li Daoxuan did not leave.

He sat cross-legged on the roof and was practicing with his eyes closed.

He didn't choose to escape alone, nor did he plan to subdue the demon without any certainty. After struggling, he asked the villager to organize the people to evacuate first, and promised them that he would kill the last demon after he was fully prepared. Wutongshen.

Let them know when the time comes.

This is the only way to have the best of both worlds.

The night was dark, and Li Daoxuan always had an ominous premonition in his heart. He didn't want to waste time, and was working hard to practice the spell he had just acquired, and he was able to do amazing things!
The Demon-Swinging Heavenly Book will instill in him all the cultivation experience of this spell, but if he wants to cultivate it, he still needs to put in his own efforts, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

Bathed in starlight, Li Daoxuan quickly entered a deep state of tranquility.

Starlight and moonlight intertwined, like a layer of hazy gauze, draped over Li Daoxuan's body, with a faint gleam flowing.

At this moment, he is like a fairy coming to the world under the moon, unstained by dust, and transcends the world.

Starlight and moonlight penetrated into his feet, like silver needles, piercing the acupuncture points of Li Daoxuan's feet, making his feet extremely sore and numb quickly.

If it weren't for the indoctrination from the Heavenly Book of Slaughtering Demons, it would take several years to learn just the kung fu of recognizing the acupoints.

Li Daoxuan's feet hurt more and more, and finally the veins on his forehead popped up, and he almost quit the state of meditation.

If it is an ordinary person, they will definitely feel that there is something wrong with their cultivation, and then stop immediately, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

But Li Daoxuan knew that all of this was normal, as long as he survived the severe pain, he would be able to overcome all hardships and master this spell initially!
After an unknown period of time, just when Li Daoxuan was about to pass out from the pain, the severe pain in both feet gradually subsided, and finally even turned into a feeling of comfort.

In the internal view, Li Daoxuan's foot acupoints are like stars in the sky, emitting a faint fluorescent light, while the Yongquan acupoint on the bottom of his feet is like a bright moon, hanging high in the night sky, suppressing the stars.

Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, as if there was an inexplicable Taoist charm on his body.

Shrinking the ground and miraculously, the preliminary cultivation has been completed!

He showed a slight smile, and only felt an extremely light feeling under his feet, as if he was stepping on cotton without any weight.

He lifted his foot and stepped forward.

boom!
The next moment, Li Daoxuan appeared in front of the big tree more than ten steps away, and his head was smashed.

Li Daoxuan held his nose that was still bleeding, a little dumbfounded.

The speed was too fast, and I couldn't control it for a while.

He persevered and continued to practice diligently. After a while of flying around, he finally managed to master this powerful spell.

Holding his swollen forehead and being pressed under the collapsed earth wall, Li Daoxuan couldn't help sighing, this spell is really powerful!
With his cultivation level, he couldn't extract the moonlight at all, but according to the method taught by the spell, he could really use the stars and the moon as a guide to stimulate the potential of his feet and cast the land shrinking spell.

At present, he has cultivated the first level of this spell, which is called shrinking ground. If he steps out in one step, he can compare with others by ten steps or even a hundred steps.

However, it consumes some mana. After just trying it for a while, it consumed nearly [-]% of Li Daoxuan's mana.

And if you can cultivate to the second level of walking on the water, you can walk on the water and see the river as flat ground.

If one reaches the highest level of wind control, one will be able to walk against the wind and realize the dream of flying into the sky!
……

In the moonlight, on a small hill.

After watching the villagers leave, Li Daoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't hesitate, it was the best policy to go!
Stepping on his feet, his figure disappeared in place, and the blue Taoist robe quickly disappeared into the night like a flying streamer.

The end of the village team.

The little granddaughter's eyes were full of reluctance, she looked at the figure on the hill that was going away quickly, and said dejectedly: "Ah Weng, can I see Brother Daochang again?"

Lao Cun was staring at the ghostly figure, and said firmly in his voice: "I will definitely, Li Daochang is very powerful, and I will definitely find a way to get rid of that monster!"

……

The next day, dawn.

Li Daoxuan ran wildly all the way, ran towards the north, sat down to adjust his breath when he had no mana, and then continued to run.

In this way, at dawn, he ran for dozens of miles in one breath, tired and thirsty.

Looking around, I don't know where this is. It seems to have run into the depths of the mountain, but there are flowers and plants all around, and there is a small stream not far away. The water is clear and has a sweet moisture.

Li Daoxuan took a few mouthfuls of the stream water, lay down contentedly, and showed a smile.

Finally safe!
The reason why he didn't find a target, but ran around, was to prevent being chased by monsters.

If I don't even know where I'm going, how can others know?
As for the footprints, after using the magic of shrinking the ground, the footsteps are as light as a feather. As long as Li Daoxuan is willing, even if he steps on the snow, there will be no traces.

I have to say that this spell is really powerful, and I don't know how many martial arts masters I would be envious of if I just mastered it initially.

Li Daoxuan saw the beautiful scenery here, so he found some dry firewood and weeds, and planned to hide here for a few days, and practice this spell well by the way.

……

There is no time in the mountains, and it is evening again in a blink of an eye.

A wisp of cooking smoke rose, and the aroma of barbecue continued to waft, making people salivate.

Li Daoxuan stuck a pheasant with a wooden stick, and it was roasting in the flames. The pheasant grown in the mountains and forests has a tender texture, and when it is roasted, it is full of oil, and sprinkled with a handful of salt, it is absolutely delicious in the world.

Take a bite, and your lips and teeth will be fragrant!
Thanks again to Shudi Shenxing for this magic, allowing Li Daoxuan to eat the long-lost chicken.

But just as he was savoring the delicacy, a figure walked slowly in the firelight and sat down beside Li Daoxuan.

"Can you give me a taste?"

The fire illuminated the man's appearance, he was dressed in fine clothes, his white face was beardless, his eyes were long and narrow, and when he looked at the fire, he showed a trace of disgust.

It's just that when he saw the roast chicken, he sucked in his saliva and showed a stiff smile at Li Daoxuan.
