Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

"Mediating Creation... This body is still too weak, otherwise it would not be able to see through this magical power."

Facing the three intact Li Daoxuans, Ning Caichen acted very calmly and calmly even though he knew that he had fallen into a trap.

"I suddenly became curious. When did you discover me?"

he asked proactively.

Now it seems that Li Daoxuan has already suspected him. On the surface, he is trying to catch the Black Mountain old demon, but in fact, he is setting up to test him.

This made him a little confused. He thought that his performance was flawless and did not reveal any flaws, but he was easily seen through by the other party.

Li Daoxuan looked at the moonlight, smiled faintly, and said, "At first, I didn't doubt you because your performance was so natural. There was only one thing that made me feel a little strange."

"Where?"

"It's the wood carving."

Ning Caichen was slightly startled.

"When we first met, there was already a crack on the wooden sculpture, indicating that it had been triggered. Of course, you were very smart. You used the earthquake in Luoyang more than ten years ago as an excuse to completely dispel my suspicions."

Li Daoxuan had to admire this man's quick wit. You must know that he suddenly appeared in front of him. Faced with the unexpected situation, he not only did not panic at all, but also perfectly covered the only flaw.

"Later, as the secrets of Lanruo Temple were revealed little by little, a doubt always lingered in my heart."

Li Daoxuan looked at him and said, "Why do the people behind the scenes want to recreate the story of A Chinese Ghost Story?"

Hearing the words "A Chinese Ghost Story", Yan Chixia and Chen Ziyu were both a little confused and didn't understand what Li Daoxuan was talking about. Only Ning Caichen was calm and calm, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

"You really know it all."

Li Daoxuan stared at him closely, secretly guessing his true identity.

Recalling what Li Zhi once mentioned, he accurately predicted many things, including the time of Li Shimin's death. Li Daoxuan couldn't help but have a suspicion. Could it be another time traveler?
It's possible, but not likely.

Because he does not have the temperament of a time traveler, but rather resembles those aloof ancient gods, with a sense of vicissitudes of life that is even better than that of the Queen Mother of the West.

Ning Caichen said calmly: "Many things I know have actually been changed by you. For example, Li Shimin was supposed to die in April due to poisoning by taking the longevity pill, but he died in Hulao Pass in June due to your influence. For example, Chang Le, she was originally a beauty but had a bad life, but she cultivated into a Yang Shen."

After a pause, he looked at Chen Ziyu again and said lightly: "There is also her. Her original fate was to be reincarnated by Zhang Qianyang in a ghost village, and then reincarnated as Nie Xiaoqian. After her death, she was controlled by a tree demon, and finally met Ning Caichen. , it’s a pity that everything changed with your arrival.”

Hearing this, Li Daoxuan was shocked.

It turns out that without his intervention, Master would have saved Sister Yu, and after she was reincarnated, she turned out to be Nie Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story!
"who are you?"

Li Daoxuan asked, extremely wary of him.

Apart from Taiqing Daode Tianzun, this was the second time he met such a person that he could not see through at all. The other person clearly knew that he was not from this world.

When he was in the painting before, he also said that he wanted to send himself away from this world.

Ning Caichen did not answer this question, but looked at him quietly and said, "You haven't answered my previous question, how did you find me?"

Li Dao story?"

"I believe that if you do this, you will definitely get benefits from it, and you are not coveting Sister Yu's lotus body. So what is your real purpose?"

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "I never understood it until you showed a flaw."

Ning Caichen raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he remembered something, and said, "Is it a tree demon?"

Li Dao

The tree demon has had close contact with the people behind the scenes. If her soul is searched, many clues will be revealed.

But just when the truth was about to be revealed, by coincidence, Ning Caichen silenced her.

"This incident made me start to notice you, and I started to hypothesize, what if the person behind the scenes is you?"

"This is an incredible thought. Many things that I didn't understand suddenly became clear."

Li Daoxuan sneered and said: "For example, why the tree demon was so shocked and resentful when she was finally killed by you is because she never expected that she would be ruthlessly abandoned by you."

"For example, in A Chinese Ghost Story, who is the biggest beneficiary?"

Li Daoxuan pointed at him and said, "Of course it's you, Ning Caichen!"

"After A Chinese Ghost Story, Xiaoqian will definitely be devoted to you. Now if you send her back to her place, Sister Yu will no longer remember me after she wakes up, but will only think that she is Nie Xiaoqian and will obey your words from now on."

"Your real purpose has never been Sister Yu, but me. You want to plant a nail and a hidden knife next to me. Who else is more suitable than Sister Yu?"

This can explain why that person wanted to take away Sister Yu's human soul.

Because the human soul carries memory and emotional abilities, and because it has lost the protection of the physical body, it is easier to be influenced by others.Sister Yu has achieved the status of a god, and her soul is far better than ordinary people. Ning Caichen cannot directly tamper with the memory, at most he can only seal it. In order to completely make this Xiaoxiang goddess his fan, he directed and acted in A Chinese Ghost Story. .

"What you didn't expect was that I would find Lanruo Temple so quickly and meet you directly. This drama has been completely disrupted by me before it even started."

"You simply took advantage of the situation, deliberately made friends with me, and acted accordingly."

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and told all his reasoning.

He didn't have any evidence and was worried that he had misunderstood Ning Caichen, so he designed this picture-in-picture show to lure the snake out of its hole.

Facts have proved that the moment he exposed his entire back to the other party without any defense, the other party really couldn't hold it back.

After listening to Li Daoxuan's story, Ning Caichen sighed lightly.

"It's a pity that Chen Ziyu has become an immortal and cannot forcibly tamper with his memory. He can only influence his consciousness subtly. Otherwise, why would it have been delayed until today and the success has been completely defeated."

"In the final analysis, that tree demon is still too useless."

Li Daoxuan was about to speak when suddenly a paper crane flew over. He reached out to take it. It was the handwriting of his apprentice Chang Le. After reading it, he couldn't help but sneered and threw the letter to Ning Caichen.

"There is always a gap in every secret. See for yourself."

Ning Caichen took it and glanced at it.

"Master, be careful, Ning Caichen is lying!"

"On April 17rd, the [-]th year of Zhenguan, the Xiuwenfang in Luoyang suffered earthquakes during Yu Chou's reign. However, just three days before that, Ning Caichen's family had moved out of Luoyang and went to live with his cousins ​​in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There is evidence from the account books of the accompanying escort agency!"

Although it was an inconspicuous incident six years ago, with the efforts of the entire Tang Dynasty court, it only took two days to find out.

"The first crack on the wooden sculpture was not because of the crack in the ground, but because of you!"

Ning Caichen remained silent.

……

half a month ago.

Ning Caichen packed his bags and embarked on the road to Beijing to study at the Imperial College with great hope. Before leaving, his mother forced him to give him the wood carving that had been enshrined at home all year round and asked him to keep it with him.

Ning Caichen had never been interested in things involving ghosts and gods, but he had no choice but to obey his mother's orders.

After a thousand-mile journey, he would arrive in Luoyang in a few days. He planned to go ashore to recuperate first and visit the scenic spots in Luoyang.

But just then, a man came from across the river.

The man looked exactly like him, but he stood on the water, his eyes were deep and calm, and he stared at him quietly.

The boatman turning the oar turned a blind eye.

Ning Caichen was about to speak when he saw the man suddenly turned into a dim light, penetrating into his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

At this time, the wooden sculpture in his arms suddenly moved, and a golden sword energy flew out, slashing towards the dim light.

But the sword energy was a drop in the bucket compared to it, and it didn't cause any waves.

In the blink of an eye, Ning Caichen became a different person.

He stood on the boat, reached out and took out the wooden sculpture in his arms, looked at the familiar appearance and the crack on it, and showed a sneer.

Everything is going according to plan.

The tree demon's influence on Xiaoqian is getting deeper and deeper, and she has agreed to participate in the hunt.

And Li Daoxuan may still be looking for Chen Ziyu's human soul all over the world like a headless fly...

Soon after, the boat docked.

However, as soon as he landed, the wooden sculpture in his arms seemed to be pulled by some kind of force. It trembled slightly and automatically fell out.

He lowered his eyes and pretended to stumble.

Just when he was about to pick up the wood carving, a slender white hand picked it up for him.

"Brother, this wood carving is interesting. Do you want to sell it?"

Ning Caichen raised his head, looking calm on the surface, but his heart was violently shaken.

Although the man in white clothes and gold belt had changed his appearance, he still recognized him immediately.

Lee Do Hyun!
