Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

In the heaven, it seemed that the passage of time could not be felt at all. Li Daoxuan did not know how long he had been walking. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to run to death in Wangshan.

Those fairy palaces seemed not far away, but after flying for a long time, they were still so far away, like a mirage.

Heaven is not a courtyard, but a realm. It is said that there are 36 heavens and 72 immortal palaces. The scale is so large that even all the kingdoms in the world combined cannot compare.

That is to say, the immortals can soar into the clouds, ride on the mist, and turn into rainbows. Otherwise, Li Daoxuan is really worried that they will be late when they go to court in the Lingxiao Palace.

After flying for a long time, just when the nervous little flower god was about to fall asleep, Li Daoxuan finally arrived in front of a fairy palace.

There are vermilion palace pillars, mandarin duck lanterns, a bright moon in the sky, and thousands of stars hanging down, making it look quiet and deep.

A strange color appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes. As soon as he arrived in front of the Immortal Palace, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. It was no longer a misty fairy spirit, but stars and bright moons.

It seems to have stepped into another world.

The place where immortals live forms a world of its own.

Each fairy palace is equivalent to a country in the lower world, with its own customs and various amazing phenomena.

"The third palace of Suzaku - Moon Tower."

Li Daoxuan looked at the plaque and continued to read the two lines of couplets next to it.

"With a kind eyebrow, lovers will eventually get married; with a red string, you can't escape the fate of three lifetimes."

There was a thought in his mind. This seemed to be the place where Yue Lao lived?
Take a closer look at the mandarin duck lantern in front of the door. There is still fire light dancing in it, making the mandarin duck lifelike. His eyes are turning slightly, looking at Li Daoxuan.

In a daze, he even heard the cry of mandarin ducks, and he felt an inexplicable longing in his heart, and beautiful figures appeared in his heart.

As if sensing the affection in Li Daoxuan's heart, the mandarin duck lantern instantly became brighter and the red candle burned more vigorously.

Use love as fire?

Li Daoxuan noticed this abnormality. He shook his head and no longer looked at the mandarin duck lantern. Instead, he walked to the vermilion door and pushed it gently.

The door was opened slowly, without difficulty and without any barriers. The breeze blew behind the door, revealing a beautiful rockery courtyard.

Li Daoxuan lingered outside the door for a moment, and finally chose to enter the Moon Tower.

Even if they come, they won’t even dare to enter. Compared with the four heavenly kings, Yue Lao’s combat power is undoubtedly lower. Even if there is any abnormality, he will not be unable to cope with it.

Persimmons always have to be picked on the soft side. If this was the Lingxiao Palace or Taishang Laojun's Tushita Palace, then he might not dare to break in.

Li Daoxuan continued to move forward, carefully observing his surroundings.

I have to say that the land of the Immortal Family is really wonderful. It is just a courtyard, but it has an extraordinary atmosphere, far better than the palace on earth.

There are rugged rocks, strange trees like clouds, embroidered grasses that have been evergreen for thousands of years, and exotic flowers that remain unbeaten all year round.

Even the gravel road under your feet is made of crystal clear jade. When the stars and moon shine, a hazy jade smoke is emitted, like a crimson gauze garment.

Li Daoxuan kept walking along this road. Nothing unusual happened on the road, and he gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed like there was really no one here.

Maybe there are only a few like the Four Heavenly Kings.

Out of this mentality, he began to search around for things he could get, such as jade stones under his feet, evergreen flowers and plants on both sides, sweet and clear spring water...

Heaven is indeed the holy land of the Immortal Family. It can be said that it is a five-step treasure. Any item is a rare treasure in the human world.

He didn't feel embarrassed, and he didn't take advantage of the bastard. This time he came to Heaven, and his physical body was so severely damaged, so naturally he had to get more things to make up for it.

And he had a hunch that the reason why the heaven was so peaceful this time was related to Chi You's bloody battle last time.

At that time, Chi You came to the heaven, and the being hiding behind the scenes did not hesitate to summon the imprints of countless immortals and gods from the long river of time and space to stop Chi You.

Now it seems that Chi You's battle really caused the being behind the scenes to be injured and even fell into a deep sleep, which is why it was so quiet this time.Continuing to walk forward, after turning a corner, Li Daoxuan finally saw a different scenery.

Under the bright moon, which symbolizes reunion, a huge ancient tree stands quietly, with slanting branches, covering the sky and the sun, and flowing with a faint moonlight.

There are many jade plaques hanging on it, connected two by two with red threads, swaying gently in the breeze.

Acacia tree!

Li Daoxuan's pupils condensed, his body suddenly tensed, and he subconsciously took a step back.

As for the little flower god, she was so frightened that she almost screamed. Her petite body was trembling and her face turned pale.

Just because there was a corpse hanging under the acacia tree that originally symbolized a beautiful marriage.

It was a white-haired old man with his back to Li Daoxuan. His robe had wide sleeves and his neck was tied with a red thread. He was hanged under the acacia tree. His body swayed gently in the breeze, and his white hair was also dancing endlessly. .

However, even though he was a corpse, there was still a layer of light red light on his body, which was somewhat similar to the mandarin duck lantern in front of the door.

The moon-shaped ring around his waist and the "Marriage Book" he still held tightly after his death all told the identity of the old man.

The Lord of the Moon Tower is also the god in charge of marriages in the world - Yue Lao!
Li Daoxuan felt a chill behind him and his scalp was numb.

This scene is really weird. The legendary Yue Lao actually hanged himself under the acacia tree, and the thing used to hang himself seemed to be the red rope he used to tie up his marriage...

It’s hard to imagine what Yue Lao went through back then?
No wonder Heaven is so quiet. Is there a corpse in every fairy palace?
That Lingxiao Palace...

Hiss, I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it, Li Daoxuan watched this strange scene and did not step forward for the time being.

He was somewhat covetous of the "Book of Marriage" in Lao Yue's hand. This object, like the "Book of Life and Death", was an immortal weapon transformed from the rules of Shinto and had infinite mysteries.

For example, if Sun Wukong casually draws a stroke on the book of life and death, all the monkeys and grandsons in Huaguo Mountain will live forever and have endless life span.

If he could get the "Marriage Book", it would be equivalent to getting a big killer weapon.

For example, with a casual hook, he connected an arrogant enemy with Xiao Tian...

I'm afraid the other party already wants to die.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Daoxuan decided to give it a try. After all, the immortal weapon was right in front of him, and it was also a symbol of authority. To say he was not greedy would be a lie.

However, he was cautious and did not use his true body. Instead, he transformed into a clone with a movement of his hair and walked towards Yue Lao's corpse.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The clone is getting closer and closer to Yue Lao, but nothing unusual appears. It seems that the other party is really just a corpse.

Finally, the clone's hand grabbed the marriage book, pulled it hard, and tore it out of Yue Lao's hand.

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, he didn't expect to obtain an immortal weapon so easily.

But the next moment.

Pfft!
Yue Lao's body suddenly fell down and turned into ashes when it landed on the ground.

But the red rope that hung him seemed to have come to life, instantly wrapping around the clone's neck and hanging him on the acacia tree.

The clone has magic power and various magical powers, but at this time, it seems that he has forgotten all about it. He is clutching his throat like an ordinary person, his face turns purple, and his eyes show despair.

Within a few moments, he was hanged under the acacia tree, still holding the marriage book tightly in his hand, and his body was floating gently in the breeze.

As if waiting for the next prey to take the bait.
