Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

"Brother Immortal...what's wrong?"

Wu Ruyi's cheeks were hot and she didn't dare to look directly into those star-like eyes. She lowered her eyes and asked timidly.

Li Daoxuan gradually calmed down and said calmly: "Take off your shoes."

Wu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, her heart pounding again, but in addition to fear, there was also a trace of shame.

She had read in ancient books that some monsters would take beautiful mortal women as wives and concubines. Could it be that this man in white did the same?
She was smart enough to know that she couldn't resist now, and she had to try her best to follow the other person's wishes without irritating them.

Biting her red lips, Wu Ruyi took off her black boots, revealing a pair of small feet wrapped in plain white socks.

"The socks are gone too."

The voice of the man in white continued to sound, but it was not as impatient as a lecherous person. Instead, it seemed more solemn.

Wu Ruyi could only take off her stockings, revealing a pair of white and small jade feet. They were exquisite and translucent, and her skin was as pink as cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, they stepped on the ground and were quickly stained with dust.

She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, looking as obedient as a little lamb, but she secretly clenched the golden hairpin in her hand.

If the other party really wants to destroy her innocence, then this hairpin is her only weapon!
Li Daoxuan blew a gentle breath, and saw the clouds in the sky condensed and turned into a white snow gauze dress that hung down and was worn on her body.

Li Daoxuan stared at her, with a flash of confusion in his eyes.

It does look a bit like it!
But there’s still one last thing left to do.

Li Daoxuan pointed a little, and Wu Ruyi's eyebrows had a little more cinnabar, and the whole person suddenly looked more dusty.

"really……"

Li Daoxuan looked at her and said, "You and Senior Sister Taizhen are indeed very similar."

Wu Ruyi actually had a three-point resemblance to Senior Sister Tai Zhen's facial features, but at first she was wearing men's clothes and had her hair tied in a bun, and because she only had a three-point resemblance, Li Daoxuan didn't notice it for a while.

Li Daoxuan didn't notice this until she let her hair down.

Maybe in the eyes of others, it's just a three-thirds similarity in appearance. The world is so big that there may not be many people who are even eighty-nine points similar, so there's no need to make a fuss.

But Li Daoxuan knew that this was unusual.

Because the senior sister is the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, and Wu Ruyi has the most noble luck and is the only female emperor in Chinese history.

Both of them are extraordinary, so this similarity is very intriguing.

"Wu Ruyi, please answer my question honestly. If you dare to lie in the slightest, no matter what secrets you hide behind your back, Pindao will keep you here forever."

There was a trace of murderous intent in Li Daoxuan's gentle voice. Although there was only a trace, it was like thunder in summer or ice cave in winter, making Wu Ruyi tremble.

It was an intuition that came from somewhere. It seemed that as long as she dared to tell lies, she would surely fall into endless calamity, and even God would not be able to help her.

"Xian, brother Xianren...please tell me, Ruyi will never dare to deceive me at all!"

Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Just look at the lake."

Wu Ruyi raised her eyes and found that what was reflected in the lake was not her face, but a female Taoist priest wearing white clothes, with a lazy posture and picturesque features.

The most eye-catching thing is the cinnabar between her eyebrows, which has a unique charm.

"Wu Ruyi, have you seen this person and know where she is?"

Li Daoxuan asked aloud, with a hint of expectation in his heart.

After many years, he finally had clues about his senior sister again!
Ever since his senior sister left without saying goodbye, he has never given up looking for her. The Qing Emperor in the Hidden Dragon has also been helping him collect various information. Unfortunately, even with the help of the Tang Dynasty, he has gained nothing.

He estimated that the senior sister had already cultivated into the immortal realm. At her level, it would be really difficult for others to find her if she wanted to hide.

Later, after he obtained the Xuanyuan Sword and communicated with the sword spirit, he realized that it was his senior sister who was silently paying for it behind the scenes.

Therefore, after the Battle of Chiyou, he went to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum first, and then traveled around the world, trying to find his senior sister, but in the end he found nothing.

Unexpectedly, there was no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there was a bright future in another village. Today, I unexpectedly found a clue!
Wu Ruyi looked at the beautiful sister in the water, and was shocked by her appearance and temperament at first sight. She was conceited about her beauty, but compared with this fairy-like woman, she was inferior.

"Brother Immortal, this sister... I have never seen her before."

Wu Ruyi did not try to trick Li Daoxuan by being clever, but answered honestly.

There was a hint of disappointment in Li Daoxuan's eyes. Could it be that he had guessed wrong and was this all just a coincidence?

At this moment, Wu Ruyi's voice sounded again.

"But...I don't know why, when I see her...I always feel a little warm in my heart."

Li Daoxuan's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, he could already confirm that all this was no coincidence. Wu Ruyi and Senior Sister Taizhen must have some unknown connection!
"Thank you very much, I will send you away now."

Li Daoxuan got the answer he wanted. He raised his finger, and a strand of Wu Ruyi's hair quietly fell down and got into his sleeve, and then he waved his sleeves and sent her back.

"Wait a moment!"

Wu Ruyi suddenly shouted: "Brother Immortal, you, can you tell me your name?"

Li Dao Already?"

Wu Ruyi was stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment. When she realized the truth, her pupils suddenly trembled and she stared at Li Daoxuan blankly.

"You are... Li Shenxian!" As the words Li Shenxian came out, the surrounding scene instantly shattered, cracked like a mirror, and turned into thousands of dust.

Wu Ruyi woke up suddenly and realized that she had fallen asleep by the pond.

The water surface is calm and sparkling. Under the lazy afternoon sunshine, a few lotus flowers sway gently in the center of the lake, looking so comfortable and peaceful.

She was still wearing her original clothes and her hair was tied up, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

However, the golden hairpin and the red pill in her hand told her that it was not a dream. She had indeed seen the immortal of Longhu Mountain and the national master of the Tang Dynasty - Li Daoxuan!

Even though she is a girl in a boudoir, she has heard legends about Li Daoxuan since she was a child. This is a figure who almost became an immortal. To many people in the Tang Dynasty, he was even a god!

He used his great supernatural powers to turn the tide many times, and joined hands with His Majesty to create a prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Ruyi admired such an amazing and talented person every time he read it in the book.

She finally understood why she felt familiar when she saw the man in white. It turned out that he was Li Shenxian, and she had seen his statue in the temple.

I just didn’t expect that he is ten or a hundred times more beautiful in person than in the statue.

and many more……

Wu Ruyi suddenly thought that in this case, wouldn't she have missed an opportunity to become Li Shenxian's apprentice?
Everyone knows that Li Shenxian has only accepted one disciple, the current Princess Changle.

Is she almost able to become the princess' junior sister?
When Wu Ruyi thought of this, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She sat there looking at the golden hairpin in a daze for a long time, until her mother's coughing sounded in the room.

……

Baihe Lake.

The ripples rippled slightly, then gradually returned to calm.

Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips.

Originally it was just out of curiosity to see what the future Empress Wu Zetian would look like and see if she could change history, but I didn't want to get an unexpected surprise.

His mood suddenly improved a lot.

His attitude toward Wu Zetian was not one of hatred, but an open-mindedness of a bystander.

He had said that he would preserve the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for 300 years, but Wu Zhou's dynasty did not make the people miserable, but instead laid a solid foundation for the prosperous Kaiyuan era.

Even because of its policy of resting with the people, the quality of life of the people of Tang Dynasty was further improved.

Wu Zetian was Li Shimin's talent, Li Zhi's queen, and the grandmother of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. Isn't this fight between them the Li family's own business?

As long as the people of the Tang Dynasty are not harmed, Li Daoxuan, an outsider, will not bother to interfere in the internal affairs of the Li Tang royal family.

After three years of vigil in Longhu Mountain, he saw a lot.

People who practice Taoism should protect their families and the country, but they should not sacrifice their lives for the imperial power, nor should they lose the true meaning of being free and happy. Otherwise, if they practice cultivation, they will actually cultivate themselves into the cage of the worldly world. Wouldn't they be on the wrong path?
That's why he didn't directly kill or imprison Wu Zetian, which was inconsistent with his principles.

His favorite path is to sit and watch the 300 years of the Tang Dynasty, as the rivers and seas turned upside down, the clouds and fog lifted, the troubled times appeared, and the prosperous times disappeared.

Li Daoxuan asked Wu Zetian to swear that she would never enter the Tang Palace for the sake of Li Shimin's sake.

Stand up and close the pole.

The fish basket flew up automatically and turned into a purple and green gourd hanging on Li Daoxuan's waist.

He touched the Three Realms Gourd with a smile on his face.

Roar!
The white dragon fell from the clouds, and with a shudder of its body, it threw the little guard martingale holding its tail into the water, then lowered its proud head and crawled at Li Daoxuan's feet.

Xiaowei Yangyan fell into the lake with a plop.

"Senior Brother, you don't want to fish anymore?"

Xiao Wei Yang stepped on the water and shouted loudly, his voice full of doubts. According to previous habits, the senior brother would usually stop playing when the sun was about to go down.

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, stepped on the white dragon's head.

It was also at this time that the mourning clothes on his body turned into blue inch by inch, exuding a bright light, like a green lotus.

"After fishing for so long, I was very quiet and thought about it. I counted the time and realized that the wake period has passed. It's time for me to go out for a walk."

He slowly sat on the dragon's head, with black hair pouring down like a waterfall, and his green lotus clothes slowly fluttering in the wind, showing his aura of dust.

"Elder brother, can you take me out to play with you?"

Xiaowei Yang's eyes were full of envy, and he shouted loudly, while swimming hard to catch the white dragon's tail.

However, the next moment, the dragon roared, the white dragon rose into the sky, the crystal-clear coral-like dragon horns exuded a hazy glow, and the sky and the earth were turbulent.

Boom!

The rain falls, creating ripples on Baihe Lake.

Xiao Wei Yang raised his face and stared blankly at this scene. His senior brother was flying into the sky, and the water vapor in the sky seemed to turn into dragon wings, holding him up and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Wei Yang, remember to recite the Taoist scriptures carefully. When your senior brother comes back, you will take the exam."
