Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 7

After Li Daoxuan entered the mist, he immediately felt a chill all over his body, as if the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot in an instant. When the night wind blew, he couldn't help shivering.

He looked back, but was surprised to find that along the trail, the mountains, forests and vegetation before could no longer be seen, only darkness.

Passing through the mist, with a bright red light in front of his eyes, he finally entered the village.

Into the eye is a red lantern.

In the dark night, a series of dark red lanterns were hung at the door of the room, all of them looked the same, and there was a Chinese word "Happy" on them.

Almost every house has such a red lantern.

However, the village was extremely quiet, not even a dog barking could be heard, Li Daoxuan could only hear his own footsteps.

But what made Li Daoxuan a little relieved was that since he entered the village, the snake demon's voice has never sounded again.

In the penetrating red light, Li Daoxuan walked forward slowly, and he found that the surrounding houses were tightly closed, but the doors all looked very dilapidated, and many of them still had gaps and small holes.

There is also a faint musty smell.

Li Daoxuan tried to look inside, and found that the door was empty, and there seemed to be no one there.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help wondering, is this an abandoned village?

But the strange thing is, why are there still red lanterns hanging in the abandoned deserted village, and the candles inside are still burning?
When he saw the sixth family, a scene that made Li Daoxuan's hair stand on end appeared.

Just as he was looking in through the gap in the door, he saw a gray and cloudy pupil, indifferent and stiff.

Someone inside is staring at him!
Cold sweat broke out on Li Daoxuan's back, and he was about to escape with the shrunken magic, but the door was slowly opened.

The door seemed to have not been opened for a long time, and the hoarse sound of opening the door echoed in the silent village, which was particularly ear-piercing.

Behind the door was a gray-haired old lady, wearing black clothes, with a thin figure, quietly looking at Li Daoxuan.

Through the red light, Li Daoxuan's pupils froze. The clothes on the old woman... turned out to be shrouds!

In an ancient village on a barren mountain, I met an old lady wearing a shroud, who was meeting her eyes.

Such a strange encounter made Li Daoxuan tense all over. With one hand behind his back, he pinched a Five Thunder Talisman, and at the same time tried his best to squeeze out a kind smile.

"Grandma, what is this place?"

The old woman stared at him for a long time, and finally squeezed out three words from her throat.

"Li... Family Village."

The voice was old and hoarse, which made people feel uncomfortable listening to it.

Li Daoxuan took a step back silently, and continued to ask: "Grandma, can I leave this village if I go forward?"

This time the old woman didn't answer his question, but just stood quietly.

Lee Daoxuan changed the question again.

"Grandma, where have all the people in the village gone?"

The old woman's gray pupils lifted, and she seemed to have some kind of emotional fluctuation, and said, "The wedding, they are all here... you... go too..."

Everyone in the village went to the wedding?

Li Daoxuan still wanted to ask something, but suddenly found that at some point, the old woman's foot had already stepped out of the door.

His scalp was numb, and he said with a smile: "I still have something to do, so I won't be attending the wedding, so leave!"

After saying that, Li Daoxuan flinched and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Looking back, he found that the old woman hadn't caught up and was still standing at the door, as if she was still looking at him.

The dark red light hit her old and pale face, making people creepy.

After running away, Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, the old lady is definitely not alive!
Perhaps it was because he sensed the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand, but the other party did not catch up in the end. If it was an ordinary person, she would have been "invited" into the house by now.

This village is full of weirdness, Li Daoxuan counted the talismans on his body, and there are still ten Six Ding Liujia Amulets and six Five Thunder Talismans left, which must be used sparingly.

He uses an amulet first.

"Yinnv Liuding, protect my body, Yangnan Liujia, protect my soul, be as urgent as a law!"

The talisman paper turned into a golden light and entered his body. Li Daoxuan suddenly felt that his body was not so cold, and the yin energy around him seemed to be isolated.

The reason why I only use one is because the amulet can only last for a moment after use, and it is not appropriate to consume too much under the premise that the situation is not yet clear.

He continued to walk forward, heading in one direction, wanting to leave the village quickly.

After half an hour.

Li Daoxuan stopped because he found that he was still in the village and returned to the old woman's house.

But fortunately, this time the old woman did not open the door.

Ghost hitting the wall?
Li Daoxuan performed the magical action of shrinking the earth, and continued to move forward!

I don't know how long he walked, Li Daoxuan reckoned that he must be twenty or thirty miles away, but the strange thing is that he is still in this village.

But this time, instead of going back to the old woman's house, he came to a grand mansion.

There are also red lanterns hanging in this house, but the difference is that the gate of the house is open, and a red carpet is spread on it, with grains, beans and flower petals sprinkled on it.

The courtyard was full of people, and it seemed that many people were inside.

Li Daoxuan remembered what the old woman said, everyone in the village went to the wedding, could it be here?
Without even thinking about it, Li Daoxuan was about to leave, and he died quickly after watching the excitement. In many horror movies, the protagonists knew something was wrong, but they insisted on going to see it. As a result, they died one by one.

Li Daoxuan didn't think that six Five Thunder Talismans could flatten this village.

But as soon as he turned his head, a stiff face appeared behind him, about 40 years old, dressed in fine silk and satin, with a smile on the inside.

"My son is newly married, everyone who comes is a guest, why don't you go in and have a wedding wine?"

Li Daoxuan didn't want to go in at first, but the servants behind the other party faintly surrounded him. These servants also had stiff faces and dull eyes, like dolls.

Li Daoxuan had no choice but to nod his head and said, "If that's the case, then don't disturb me."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and the servants behind him also dispersed.

Li Daoxuan followed them into the house, only to find that it was full of people, five people made a table, but strange people, these people sat together, no one spoke, and the silence was terrifying.

The middle-aged man led Li Daoxuan to a table. There were four people sitting here, and Li Daoxuan was just full.

The middle-aged man poured Li Daoxuan a glass of wine and said with a smile, "This is homemade grain wine. It is fragrant and cold. You might as well try it."

The aroma of the wine is strong and slightly intoxicating.

But when Li Daoxuan poured mana into his eyes, and then looked at the bowl of wine, his pupils froze.

I saw that there were many densely packed maggots wriggling in the wine water that was still clear just now. The wine water was extremely turbid and had a faint stench.

"Your Excellency, why don't you drink?"

The middle-aged man looked at Li Daoxuan and smiled.

"Poverty Taoist is a cultivator. We have rules in our lineage. We abstain from alcohol and meat. I'm really sorry."

The middle-aged man stared at him, the smile on his face disappeared a little bit.

Li Daoxuan also looked at him, with a firm attitude, he would not drink this bowl of wine even if killed, who knows what will happen after drinking it?

In the stalemate between the two, the atmosphere seems to be getting more and more solidified...

(Thank you for the bitter one hundred rewards, love! The happiest thing is that after publishing the new book, I saw many familiar friends again, hehe~)
