Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty raised its troops to attack the Turks and won a great victory.

Li Daoxuan asked to resign as national advisor, but the emperor refused.

At the beginning of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain passed away at the age of 140-[-]. He ordered Li Daoxuan to resign from the position of national master and stay in mourning for three years without leaving the mountain.

Li Daoxuan once again asked to resign from the position of national preceptor, but the emperor refused again.

From then on, the national master Li Daoxuan lived deep in Longhu Mountain, guarding the soul of his master, and gradually disappeared from the eyes of the world.

However, Emperor Li Shimin always sent a letter to Longhu Mountain via flying pigeons to ask for Li Daoxuan's opinion whenever there was an important event in the court.

Even though I didn’t often get a response, I kept insisting.

At banquets, there is always an empty seat next to Li Shimin. He often drinks and sighs, saying that if the imperial master were here, he would not be able to reward me for this.

Longhu Mountain seems to be a place of pure cultivation, but because of one person, it has invisibly attracted the attention of the world.

People at that time said that the immortals came to the Heavenly Palace and the Prime Minister's house in Longhu Mountain.

The floating clouds are facing the dew, and the pearls are turning. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed by in a hurry.

At the foot of Longhu Mountain, many people take shelter from the rain at Tingfeng Tea House.

"It is said that Li Shenxian and General Li Jing teamed up to defeat Chi You. They followed the old Heavenly Master's orders and retired to the mountains and forests, and never participated in worldly affairs again."

"In Longhu Mountain, you often hear the sound of phoenixes. Every time it rains, there will be purple air all over the sky and morning glow coming from the east. Do you know why?"

The tourists shook their heads and urged the storyteller to stop telling the story and speak quickly.

The storyteller smiled proudly and said: "My cousin is practicing in Longhu Mountain and is an inner disciple. He told me that this is because every time it rains, Li Shenxian will walk out of the thatched cottage in the back mountain and go to Baihe Lake. Fishing.”

"Those purple qi and morning glow are all because Li Shenxian came out of seclusion!"

"My cousin also told me that the son of contemporary Zhang Tianshi is practicing with Li Shenxian. He once went to deliver food to Zhang Tianshi's son. Guess what?"

Everyone's curiosity was lifted.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I must have met Li Shenxian. Please tell me what Li Shenxian looks like. Is he as beautiful as the one in the temple?"

"Bah, it's superficial. Li Shenxian is our Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. He is a master who has become an immortal. He has boundless magical power and is powerful in the world. What does appearance mean?"

When the storyteller saw that the atmosphere was good enough, he stopped trying to keep it secret and continued: "My cousin really met Li Shenxian. He hasn't ascended yet, but he's almost there."

"My cousin said that Li Shenxian was wearing mourning clothes and sitting by Baihe Lake fishing. He just lifted the fishing rod and caught a big carp!"

"What's so strange about this?"

"Hey, don't worry, that big carp is about one foot long. The weirdest thing is that the front half of its body has been transformed into a dragon shape, with dragon horns, dragon head and dragon whiskers. It can also speak human words and call the gods directly. Spare your life."

"Li Shenxian said that in the seventh year of Wude, a child accidentally fell into the river with a night pearl. You were greedy for the night pearl, so you refused to save the child. Therefore, even if you cross the dragon gate, you should not be a dragon."

"After that, Li Shenxian put the big carp into the fish basket. Strangely enough, as soon as the big carp entered the basket, its dragon scales fell off and turned into a fish again."

"Later, Li Shenxian asked my cousin to cook the fish. The soup was like white jade and the fragrance spread far and wide. My cousin shared a bowl and said he had never tasted such delicious fish soup in his life!"

Everyone's mouths watered after hearing this, and they all sighed that his cousin was lucky. The fish soup was made from half of the dragon carp, and drinking it must have many benefits.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "It is said that in May this year, a carp in the Yellow River did try to transform into a dragon. Many people witnessed it with their own eyes at that time. The Nine Heavens Xuannv in the Hidden Dragon also rushed there and was about to take action, but the carp suddenly disappeared. Got it!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped and felt very shocked.

Initially, they may not necessarily believe everything the storyteller said, but when combined with this rumor and comparing the two, they found that there was no flaw in it.

From this point of view, the carp that tried to transform into a dragon did not suddenly disappear, but was... fished away by Li Shenxian!
While you are in the mountains, you can fish all over the world.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel numb, and they were even more in awe of Li Shenxian who was cultivating in Longhu Mountain.

At this time, the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, and the weather cleared up.

The rays of rays of light appear in the sky, and streaks of purple air envelope Longhu Mountain, stretching for dozens of miles, making the place look like a fairyland on earth.

……

Behind the mountain, Baihe Lake.

The lake is as clear as water and the water is rippling, like an exquisite and clear jade mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white sun, and the elegant white cranes.

According to legend, the old heavenly master met a fairy crane here when he was young, and took him to a fairy cave, where he received the inheritance of the wordless heavenly book.

Later, Master Tian's favorite thing was to come to this lake to fish.

Times have changed, things have changed, and people have changed, but Baihe Lake is still beautiful and moving, with cranes chirping incessantly.

A figure is sitting by the lake fishing.

He wore a bamboo hat, white clothes, white shoes and white socks. He held a bamboo pole in his hand and sat cross-legged for an unknown amount of time.

Bai He flew to his side without fear and rubbed his clothes affectionately with his head.

A bird landed on his bamboo hat and combed its feathers with its beak.

The willow trees provide shade, the breeze brings coolness, and the begonias are fragrant. Looking from a distance, the fishing figure seems to be one with the entire world.

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature..."

The childish voice sounded.

On the big stone next to him, stood a little Taoist boy with a delicate face. He was the son of the contemporary Zhang Tianshi and the only bloodline of the Tianshi after Zhang Qianyang, Zhang Weiyang.But at this moment, this little Heavenly Master, who had been pampered and pampered since childhood, was standing in the scorching sun, riding on a stone with an incense burner underneath.

Even if he is sweating like rain, he still has to carry the Taoist scriptures and add a stick of incense if he makes a mistake in a word.

Finally, Xiao Wei Yang finished memorizing the entire chapter and said with a sad face: "Elder brother, can I take a break?"

The bamboo hat was slightly raised, revealing a handsome face with a face as fair as jade.

The red mark between the eyebrows adds a lot of charm.

It is none other than the world-famous mountain masters today, Li Shenxian and Li Daoxuan of Longhu Mountain.

Compared with three years ago, his appearance has hardly changed, but his temperament is more simple and natural, returning to his original nature.

Like the sky and the earth.

"Go ahead and be careful not to damage the lotus flowers in the lake."

The gentle voice sounded, as loud as a jade bell, making people's inner subconscious become calm and peaceful, as if the dust had been shaken off.

"Oh, senior brother is so good!"

"Thank you big brother!"

Xiao Wei Yang danced happily. He immediately untied his clothes and jumped naked into Baihe Lake, splashing with flying water.

At such a young age, he was already quite good at water. He even dived into the lake and never came out.

Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry and continued fishing quietly, not afraid that the fish would be scared away.

After a moment, the lake churns, and a white dragon flies out from it. It is ten feet long, with scales as crystal clear as jade and horns as beautiful as coral. It flies up into the sky with a small guard martingale.

The air is filled with mist, and the glow is blooming. From time to time, among the clouds and mist, you can see a crystal dragon tail swinging by, and you can faintly hear the cheers of children.

Bai Jiao is naturally Xiao Bai, and now he has transformed into a Jiao, and is about to go through the tribulation and enter the Yangshen.

As for Xiaotian, it has always been restless, so Li Daoxuan sent it to Changle. That Nizi has done a lot of things recently, which is impressive.

Staring at the gradually calming lake, Li Daoxuan's mind seemed to have returned to three years ago.

That night, he used Ziwei Dou Shu to deduce his master's whereabouts, risking his injuries, and finally saw clearly that his master's sudden dismemberment had something to do with heaven!

After that, he began to practice meditation in Longhu Mountain in the name of guarding the spirits. Of course, he was not completely aloof from worldly affairs. Occasionally, he used the name of fishing to kill a few demons to relieve his boredom, which was quite interesting.

In the past three years, he lived in a cottage and only did three things, reading, fishing and teaching Xiao Wei Yang to practice.

Yes, there is no practice.

Because he discovered that in the later stage of Yang Shen, the accumulation of mana was of little significance. If you want to become an immortal, the important thing is your state of mind.

Undoubtedly, he was a bit biased. He relied on Youtian Escape Sword Intention to not be afraid of the demons in his heart, so he always practiced magical powers, but he didn't know that his mood was gradually declining.

The Heavenly Escape Sword Intention can only keep him clear, but it cannot directly improve his spiritual cultivation.

Therefore, what Li Daoxuan did most in the past three years was reading.

In addition to the Taoist classics in Longhu Mountain, the theories of various schools of thought collected in the palace, as well as ancient books collected by sects such as Maoshan, Longmen, and Laoshan, were all sent to Longhu Mountain with Li Shimin's transfer order.

Of course, Li Daoxuan only took Taoist scriptures, and he did not get involved in the cultivation techniques of other sects.

After three years of studying hard, his mind completely calmed down, and he could watch the flowers blooming and falling, and the clouds roll and relax, without any impetuousness at all.

And when he was comprehending the essence of Taoism and immersed in reading, he accidentally discovered that his cultivation level had actually improved, and he had even deepened his cultivation of major magical powers.

This kind of improvement is not as dramatic as before, but it is like spring breeze turning into rain, moisturizing things silently. It is completed bit by bit in a subtle way and continues continuously.

Now, he really only has a thin layer of window paper between him and becoming an immortal, which can be pierced at any time.

The word "immortal" is already within reach.

Maybe when he ascends, he can go to the heaven to explore. Chi You hurt the being in the heaven back then, and the other party must not be able to recover so quickly.

Maybe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just as he was thinking about it, a phoenix cry suddenly sounded in the sky, and a phoenix with fluttering wings flew through the clouds. Its feathers were flowing, it was gorgeous and noble, and it had something in its mouth.

The phoenix bird hovered above Li Daoxuan's head for a moment, and then let go of its mouth.

Two things fell into Li Daoxuan's hands, one was a scroll and the other was a food box. He opened it and found a nectar cake and a letter inside.

"Master Li Daoxuan personally congratulates me."

The delicate regular script is like bright peach blossoms, with a touch of playfulness mixed with softness.

I touched it and found that the letter was very thick. There must be at least ten pieces of paper inside.

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly. This Changle writes a letter to herself every month. Counting her years, she is now 17 years old, but she always has a childlike streak.

The phoenix bird turned into a hair and slowly floated away. This was the magical power of Chui Feo. It was obvious that Changle's cultivation had made great progress.

After opening the letter, the first sentence made Li Daoxuan look strange.

"Master, you are so angry with me. You must help me make the decision. I just joined Hidden Dragon and got the mask of Jiutian Xuannv. I finally met a carp who wanted to transform into a dragon. I haven't taken action yet. That fish It’s gone!”

"Someone must have secretly rescued the demon fish. I wanted to do the math, but I found that the other party's secret was so chaotic that I couldn't figure it out at all. Master, please help me figure out who it is. My disciple will definitely not let him go! "

The second update is for you, brothers, for the sake of me still working hard on typing after get off work, please vote and show your feelings!
