Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 332 Willows Qingqing Buried Human Bones, White Horses Drink Wine like Dragons

At noon, Xuzhou City, Surabaya Ancient Road.

Both sides of the river bank are full of willow trees, which grow very well, with luxuriant branches and leaves, verdant and full of vitality.

The shore was full of soldiers, even under the scorching sun, they stood upright, sweating like rain under their armor, but fortunately, the willow trees beside them could bring some shade.

If you observe carefully, you will find that although these soldiers are guarding both sides of the Surabaya Ancient Road, they dare not get too close. They even look at the river with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Wei Zongsu, governor of Xuzhou, was actually guarding here himself, and Chief Shi Pangtao and Sima Liangdong were also by his side, as if they were waiting for the arrival of some important person.

"My lord, you said that what the old Taoist said is true. Today, there will really be a young scholar in a white Taoist robe passing by riding a white horse, holding a unicorn whisk in his hand?"

Chang Shi Pangtao was obese and was already sweating profusely. He had been waiting here for two full hours. There were quite a few people passing by, but he didn't see any Taoist priests on white horses.

The governor wiped off his sweat, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, yesterday the old man easily cured Zhang Laowu's madness, and with a quick pinch, he told about the canal being haunted, obviously he is a capable person. "

"Yes, and he just touched my arm and told me how I was almost drowned, which is amazing!"

Sima Liangdong also sighed.

At this moment, Chang Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, pointing to the distance and saying: "Here we come, we come, look!"

The two hurriedly looked around, and saw a group of people riding slowly on a handsome white horse under the sun, holding a unicorn whisk and wearing a moon-white Taoist robe. gas.

Strange to say, the Taoist didn't pull the rein, and even closed his eyes, but the white horse walked slowly, avoiding pedestrians automatically, and came to a restaurant smelling the smell of wine.

The Taoist was naturally Li Daoxuan. He was keenly aware that there were three people in official uniforms looking at him by the river. They seemed to be a little excited, but he remained calm and watched the changes.

It has been a day and a night since Li Daoxuan left Longhu Mountain. He rode a paper horse and traveled thousands of miles, and was about to enter Xuzhou City to buy some good wine.

The reason why I don’t ride the clouds is to save mana, and to see the great rivers and mountains, maybe I can meet some monsters on the way to get some rewards.

It's a pity that after traveling thousands of miles, he only met a few lonely ghosts, and Li Daoxuan casually sent them to reincarnation.

As soon as he finished drinking, the three officials over there walked over together.

Inspector Wei Zongsu bowed and said, "May I ask you, are you the Immortal Master of Longhu Mountain?"

Li Daoxuan frowned slightly, wondering, how did they know his identity?

"Yes, what do you want from me?"

When the governor heard that Li Daoxuan admitted that he was really a disciple of Longhushan, he was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Master Immortal, I hope you are here!"

Chang Shi and Sima echoed: "Yes, if you come, the people of Xuzhou will be saved!"

Li Daoxuan chuckled, and said: "No, you three don't need to praise the poor, I'm just from Xuzhou, and I don't know you before, but I can't be the savior of Xuzhou people."

The governor hurriedly said: "But, but the old man yesterday said that you can help the people of Xuzhou get rid of demons."

Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and said: "Old Taoist? What old Taoism, please explain the cause and effect clearly."

He has the heart to eliminate demons, but he doesn't want to be used in vain as a thug.

The governor didn't dare to lie, so he hurriedly told the whole story.

It turns out that the ancient Surabaya Road in Xuzhou was an important waterway and transportation hub for the canal in the Sui Dynasty. When Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty dug the canal, a total of 5403 million people were used. By the time the canal was dug in Xuzhou, 150 million people had died of overwork.

Among them, the Sishui ancient road was deposited with sediment, and as a result, the excavation was shallow, which made navigation inconvenient.

Yang Guang ordered that all 5 officials and migrant workers who excavated this section of the canal be buried alive on the bank!
The willows and willows are all human bones.

According to records, at that time, from Xingyang in the east to Heyang in the north, at a glance, there were all corpse carts carrying dead people. Many people had maggots below their waists because they were soaked in water for too long.

Since then, the Surabaya Ancient Road has been full of shadows, and strange things often happen.

Even after the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the world, the people of Xuzhou City still had lingering fears about this river. People often fell into the water for no reason, and even good swimmers were often drowned.

The bad guys came a few times and caught a few water ghouls, but each time they recovered for a while, and then people started falling into the river again.

Until a few days ago, Zhang Laowu fell into the water, but miraculously survived, he became a lunatic, always shouting along the street, saying that there are thousands of water ghouls in the Sishui River, worse than the heavenly soldiers and generals need more.

Just yesterday, while Zhang Laowu was yelling madly, he bumped into a white-haired old man who claimed to be surnamed Yuan, and a random talisman cured Zhang Laowu's madness.

The governor happened to see this scene at that time, so he asked the old man to subdue the monster in the Sishui River.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist said that he had an important matter that he could not delay, so he did some calculations, and then told him that at noon tomorrow, there would be a young Taoist priest riding a white horse and holding a unicorn whisk by the Sishui River. The Taoist priest was from Mount Longhu. , powerful mana, can solve the danger of Xuzhou.

The governor explained the cause and effect in detail, not daring to omit anything, and finally said: "The old Taoist also said, if you really don't want to take action, we must not force it!"

After saying these words, he bowed deeply to Li Daoxuan, and Chang Shi and Sima also bowed down together.

Li Daoxuan's heart moved, the old Taoist surnamed Yuan, who is good at magic calculation, could it be the legendary Yuan Tiangang?

However, Yuan Tiangang, as a great cultivator in the Yangshen Realm, should be able to subdue some water ghouls with little effort, why would he let them beg him?

After thinking for a moment, Li Daoxuan glanced at the three of them, and said with a smile: "If you want me to make a move, it's not impossible, but you have to agree to two conditions first."

"Speak, Master Immortal!"

The governor was very excited and said immediately.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the white horse outside the restaurant, and said with a smile: "My horse has been running for a day and a night, it doesn't like to eat grass, it only likes to drink, you first invite it to drink twenty jugs of fine wine, pay attention, twenty jugs, No more and no less."

This technique of paper-cutting horses has two disadvantages. The first is that they are afraid of fire, and the second is that the paper horse will show its original shape when drunk.

But this spell is also interesting. What the transformed horse likes most is drinking, and he can drink a lot. If he is not drunk, he can even increase his speed a lot after drinking.

As long as it does not exceed thirty altars, it will not be drunk.

Twenty altars is Li Daoxuan's conservative statement. After all, wines from different places have different degrees of alcohol.

Let the horse drink?
Still drinking twenty altars at once?

The governor and the three looked at each other, almost suspecting that they heard it wrong.

But after a moment, he realized that he had made a big mistake.

I saw the white horse looking at the altar of fine wine in front of him, its eyes were particularly bright, it put its mouth into the altar, swallowed the sea to drink, the sound of swallowing was continuous, and the altar of fine wine soon bottomed out .

The three governors were dumbfounded.

"Quick, keep serving the wine!"

At this moment, the three of them still don't understand, this is clearly a divine horse, and sure enough, the horse ridden by the stranger is also so extraordinary!
The white horse drank twenty jars of fine wine in one go, not only did not feel drunk at all, but its eyes were bright and piercing. It raised its front hooves, raised its front hooves, and let out a neigh that shook the sky. Alcoholic fog!

All of a sudden, even the stakes that tied the horses were lifted up.

Some soldiers on horseback only felt that the horses under their crotches were restless. These well-trained, good horses that can charge forward on the battlefield, at this moment, unexpectedly showed fear and anxiety.

The governor looked at this divine horse, and was horrified in his heart, such a strong horse, if he went mad after drinking, many people would be trampled to death!
At this moment, Li Daoxuan walked up, and stretched out his hand to scratch the ear.

"What's your name? You wouldn't be you if you drank a little wine? You even broke someone's pile. Go and apologize!"

The white horse suddenly became very well-behaved. It walked to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, nodded, as if bowing down to salute, and then looked at Li Daoxuan with big eyes aggrieved.

Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, threw out a tael of silver casually, then took the rein, and said calmly: "Let's go, let's go to the river."
