Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1

In the early years of Zhenguan, Xiaosha Village, Hongzhou, Xinyang County, Tang Dynasty.

evening.

"Three mages, please enter the coffin."

The richest man in Xiaosha village cupped his hands and said, with a smile on his face, like a mature weasel.

Behind him, apart from servants and servants, there were three people who looked out of place with the surroundings. They were an old monk, an old witch and a young Taoist priest.

The young Taoist priest's name is Li Daoxuan. Although the Taoist robe on his body is a bit worn out, he can't hide his handsome appearance and upright figure. His long hair is combed into a bun and tied with a wooden hairpin. His eyes are clear and bright, which is quite elegant and elegant.

He came from a later life, because of an ancient book called "The Heavenly Book of Slaying Demons", and became this little Taoist priest with the same name and surname as him, who made a living by catching ghosts and eliminating demons.

Yes, although this world was in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there were many creepy monsters. Li Daoxuan quickly accepted it. After all, the "Book of Demon Swinging" in his mind was the most incredible existence.

At this time, Li Daoxuan looked at the three gloomy coffins, frowned slightly, and retreated behind everyone without choosing first.

In fact, he also knows that because of his age, people here don't value themselves very much.

Compared with him, the old monk with long beard and white eyebrows and the old witch with mysterious patterns painted on her face are much more believable, making people feel professional at first glance.

The old monk glanced at Li Daoxuan, chuckled, and said: "Little baby, you have only been practicing for a few years, and you dare to catch the list to subdue the demon?"

As he spoke, he held his head high, laid down in the black coffin on the far left with a calm expression, and stretched himself.

But I don't know if it was an illusion, at the moment when the servants closed the coffin, Li Daoxuan seemed to see a trace of tension in his eyes?
The old witch looked around, and instead of entering the coffin, she carefully took out an urn, placed it in the southeast corner of the yard, and chanted a few incomprehensible spells, when a miraculous scene appeared.

The ashes urn suddenly trembled violently, and then slowly returned to calm, as if responding to the old witch's words.

The night wind hit, bringing a threatening chill, straight from the tailbone to the scalp.

Seeing this scene, the rich man Wang and his servants took a few steps back one after another, some of them were afraid to look at the old witch.

The old witch sneered, without saying a word, calmly walked into the coffin in the middle, and lay down with her eyes closed.

Under the urging of the rich man Wang, the servants carefully came up and covered the coffin.

Then everyone looked at Li Daoxuan in unison.

Li Daoxuan had retreated to the door at some point, facing everyone's eyes, he smiled calmly, silently reconstructed the escape route he had memorized in his mind, then walked to the last coffin and lay down in it.

The coffin was not big, and the space Li Daoxuan lay in was just right, as if it was tailor-made, but there was a musty smell and a faint smell of blood.

As the coffin was slowly closed, the light gradually disappeared, and finally fell into complete darkness.

After a few muffled sounds, the sound of footsteps outside quickly faded away, everything around seemed to have fallen into dead silence, only the sound of Li Daoxuan's own breathing remained.

He circulated meager mana and condensed it into his eyes.

The next moment, the surroundings that were originally invisible became clear, and when Li Daoxuan's eyes swept over the top of his head, he suddenly stopped.

His eyes were fixed, because on the coffin lid above his head, there were many dried bloodstains, which were traces of being scratched out with fingers.

Li Daoxuan pushed the coffin lid, motionless, like a rock.

In the middle of the night on the moon, in this small dark courtyard, there were three coffins quietly placed, and a big square stone was pressed on the coffin board.

……

The rich man returned to the bedroom at home, sent everyone away, and then opened the hidden compartment on the wall, revealing a statue of a worshiped god.

The statue has a green face and fangs, with wings on its back, and it looks fierce.

The rich man took out three blood-red incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner, kowtowed and said: "The sacrifice is ready, please respect God to taste it!"

"I hope the gods will continue to bless my Wang family, and the wealth will be abundant, rich and powerful!"

……

After confirming that he was trapped in the coffin, Li Daoxuan was not particularly nervous. He closed his eyes, and an ancient book in his mind was shining brightly, with four ancient seals on the cover.

Demon Swinging Book!

This is his golden finger, and it is also this book, which allowed him to travel from the 21st century to the world of Tang Dynasty where demons are rampant, and also gained some skills in subduing demons and eliminating demons.

As long as you kill demons and ghosts, you can get corresponding rewards. It has been nearly half a year since time travel, and Li Daoxuan now has some means.

He squeezed the Dao seal with his hands, bent his knees, straightened his waist, his heart sank into a deep valley, and he kept quiet to recite. The muscles of his whole body were completely relaxed, and his whole body was as soft as a ball of cotton.

Li Daoxuan's breathing became lighter and slower, as long as a hibernating snake, and even the beating of his heart became slower and slower.

"Take the hurdles and fill them out, steal the sky and deceive fate, use the fire from the Li Palace in the south to refine the gold in the water in the north..."

Li Daoxuan recited the formula silently in his heart. This exercise is called "Peng Zugu Immortal Lying Yin Gong".

It was also this technique that allowed him to develop mana and the ability to settle down.

Gradually, two streams of air emerged in Li Daoxuan's body, one passed through the heart and became warm heart fire, corresponding to the fire of the Southern Ligong in the formula; the other passed through the kidneys and became warm and cool kidney water essence, corresponding to Gold in northern waters.

The two breaths meet at Dantiankou, where the dragon and the tiger meet, and the yin and yang complement each other, turning into a ray of pure mana.

After the heaven and the earth make love, one point will fall into the yellow court.

The newly cultivated mana, together with Li Daoxuan's previous mana, merged into a trickle and hit the lower dantian.

However, the entrance to the lower dantian was blocked, like a stone gate, lying in between, and Li Daoxuan's mana impacted it and remained motionless.

Opening his eyes, Li Daoxuan showed a look of pain in his eyes. Recently, for some unknown reason, he felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen when he practiced.

Although the book of Swinging Demons taught him all the cultivation experience of this technique, Li Daoxuan is a layman of Taoism. Perhaps he has committed some practice taboos unconsciously?

It seems that when I have time, I need to find a professional Taoist priest to ask for advice.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly, there was a whistling wind in the silent surroundings, screaming like a ghost crying, making people stand upright.

At the same time, the old monk's frightened cry sounded.

"Let me out now!"

"I'm a liar, I don't know how to subdue demons at all!"

"I just want to cheat some money..."

"Go away! Go away! What a monster you are!"

With a shrill scream, the old monk's voice stopped abruptly.

Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed, he quickly took out a talisman seal, pinched the seal formula with his hand, and recited it silently in his heart.

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

The next moment, the talisman in Li Daoxuan's hand turned into a golden light and escaped into his body, giving his violently beating heart a sense of security at last.

This is the Liuding Liujia talisman, which will be triggered automatically when attacked by evil spirits after use. Currently, Li Daoxuan's attainments in this talisman can only last for a moment.

But Li Daoxuan was still not at ease, he continued to take out the Six Ding Liujia amulet that he had prepared in advance, and used ten of them in a row before stopping.

After all, only by living can there be output!
At this time, he vaguely heard that the old witch's coffin was also opened, and there was a sound of fighting outside, as if a ghost baby was crying.

Li Daoxuan held the talisman seal in his hand, it was no longer a talisman, but a powerful Five Thunder Talisman, the runes were extremely complicated and very difficult to draw, and he didn't have many of them.

He didn't make a move right away, the old witch seemed to have some skills, it's better to let her consume the monster's physical strength first.

But after only a few breaths, the old witch let out a scream, and there was no more movement, and the crying of the ghost baby disappeared.

Li Daoxuan's face turned dark.

He is a little confused now, is the teammate too weak, or the monster is too powerful?

However, before he could think about it, Li Daoxuan's heart began to beat fast, because he clearly heard the sound of footsteps stopping in front of his coffin.

The coffin lid is being pushed away little by little...
