Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 688: In the Vientiane Palace, a phoenix suppresses nine dragons
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Chang Le's eyes showed a hint of excitement, as if he had returned to the days when he was a child and traveled around with his master.

She stretched out her jade hand, and there was a long green whip in the palm of her hand. It crackled in the air and whipped violently, with a sound like thunder and a whip like a dragon.

This magic whip, after decades of nourishment and sacrifice in Changle, has become a well-known magic weapon in the world today and has become her symbol.

"Master, my disciple will open the way for you!"

Good guy, with this excited tone, it’s as if he’s about to break into something other than his own palace.

Li Dao

Changle didn't expect that her master would notice it. She shook her head and said, "Master, it's just a minor injury. It's not a problem!"

She looked at Li Daoxuan pitifully, her dreamy eyes as charming as a deer's.

"Master, please, take me with you..."

After an absence of more than 40 years, she finally met the Master whom she had missed so much, and she really didn't want to continue to retreat.

Who knows where Master will go after leaving seclusion?
But this time, Li Daoxuan, who had always doted on her, firmly refused, his voice unquestionable.

"Normally, it wouldn't be a problem for you to hold on for a while, but now you are at the critical stage of becoming an immortal, and there is no room for sloppiness."

How could Li Daoxuan fail to see that Changle had already vaguely touched the threshold of becoming an immortal, but the calamity was difficult to overcome and he still needed to continue to accumulate.

At this critical time, it would be a pity if the foundation was shaken and the future was affected due to injuries.

Li Daoxuan only has this disciple, so he naturally has to consider her.

"But--"

"No but, be obedient."

Li Daoxuan seemed to see what she was worried about and said with a smile: "Just think of it as a nap. When you wake up, the master is still there."

Under his order, Changle reluctantly put away the whip.

Li Daoxuan waved his sleeves, and the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit flew in the wind, took root on the ground, and swayed with wisps of golden light of merit, which was dazzling, warm and holy.

"Do you still remember the Peng Zugu Xianwo Yin Gong I taught you when you were a child?"

Chang Le nodded, that was the first skill taught by her master, and she knew it by heart.

"Go, lie down in the lotus, use Peng Zu's power, and have a good sleep. When you wake up, your injuries will be completely healed, and there will be some other benefits."

The ninth-grade golden lotus with merit is not only unparalleled in defense, it is also a healing and spiritual treasure, which has miraculous effects on Li Daoxuan in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Chang Le's injuries were secondary. Li Daoxuan saw that although she practiced quickly, she was still a mortal body and her foundation was not deep enough. It was extremely difficult to survive the catastrophe.

In order to prevent future generations of ascendants from being swallowed up by heaven or spiritual mountains, the saints set up means to make the heavenly tribulation several times more powerful.

Under this kind of blockade, unless it is an existence with a lotus body like the Empress in Tsing Yi or Sister Yu, or someone like Li Daoxuan, it will be difficult to survive the disaster.

Although Changle is extremely qualified, he cannot break this restriction.

Therefore, Li Daoxuan used the ninth-grade merit golden lotus to help her heal her injuries, and at the same time used the power of merit and lotus essence to help her improve her bones and forge her foundation.

Changle lay obediently on the lotus platform, but refused to close his eyes.

She pulled her master's sleeves and said coquettishly: "Master, please stay with me for a while. Can you leave after I fall asleep?"

Li Daoxuan smiled helplessly: "Okay."

Sit quietly and say nothing, the spring breeze blows by itself, the sun sets in the west, and the sunset glows in the sky.

Changle's breathing gradually became longer, and the hand holding Li Daoxuan's sleeve slowly loosened. A faint smile appeared on the face that was quiet and beautiful in his sleep.

It was as if I had dreamed of something happy.

Li Daoxuan looked at it for a moment, then flicked his sleeves, like flowing clouds flying down.

The lotus flowers closed gently, covering Chang Le's figure, and then submerged into the lotus pond, automatically absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and the aura of heaven and earth, growing the foundation of Chang Le.

Although it is impossible to become a Lotus Dharmakaya like Sister Yu, it is still no problem to improve a lot on the original basis.

And with the protection of the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus, Li Daoxuan doesn't have to worry about anyone taking the opportunity to hurt her.

After that, Li Daoxuan looked back at the small courtyard where he had lived for many years, sighed softly, and turned to leave.

On the road to eternal life, you are destined to give up many things and say goodbye to many people.

Some scenes seem to be vividly remembered, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it happened more than 60 years ago.

……

After leaving Xuandu Temple, Li Daoxuan did not go to the inn he had agreed with Di Renjie. Instead, he turned and walked north of Chang'an, which was the direction of the imperial city.

Time flies by, things change and people change.

Today's imperial palace is no longer the Tai Chi Palace of the past, but the Daming Palace, which is more splendid and colorful.

In fact, the construction of the Daming Palace began in the eighth year of Zhenguan. However, Taizong felt that it was too much of a waste of money and people, so he stopped it several times. In the end, the construction of the Daming Palace was abandoned and there was no progress.

After Li Zhi took office, it only took ten months to complete.

When Li Daoxuan walked into this magnificent Daming Palace, the soldiers on duty turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to him.

He stood with his hands behind his back, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

However, after taking a few steps, Li Daoxuan stopped, his brows furrowed, revealing a hint of doubt.

What a weak dragon energy!
Although the Tai Chi Palace back then was simpler, the Dragon Qi was strong, hovering in the sky, heading straight towards the stars. However, in the Daming Palace at the moment, the Dragon Qi was very weak, even difficult to detect.

When the Dragon Qi is weak, it is easy for evil spirits to breed in the palace. Usually, this happens when the mountains and rivers are broken.

The so-called country is about to perish, there must be evildoers.

But the Tang Dynasty is still strong at this moment, and this situation should not happen.

What is even more strange is that although the dragon energy is weak, Li Daoxuan does not feel much evil energy, and the palace is still upright.

Wisps of golden light emerged from the scars between his eyebrows, and his heavenly eyes slowly opened.In an instant, Li Daoxuan heard a loud phoenix cry.

A proud, majestic and domineering phoenix was flying in the sky, its wings shining, overlooking Chang'an, suppressing the nine dragon energies.

A phoenix overwhelms Kowloon!

After the phoenix suppressed the rioting dragon energy, it folded its wings, escaped into a high tower, and possessed the iron phoenix weighing three thousand gold.

It is said to be an iron phoenix, but its whole body is covered with gold foil, making it look golden and extremely luxurious.

Nine golden dragons are carved in the middle of the tower. Although they are majestic and noble, they can only crawl at the feet of the proud golden phoenix, and the dragon's energy cannot escape.

This is the reason why the dragon energy in the Daming Palace is weak, but there are still no evil spirits.

"Good trick."

Li Daoxuan looked at the tall tower that stood in the palace and seemed to be connected with the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This tower, called the Wanxiang Palace, helped her suppress the true dragon spirit of Emperor Li Tang.

It seems that there is an expert behind Wu Zetian. I wonder if it is the Ming Chongyan mentioned by Changle.

When the Heavenly Eye tried to see through the Wanxiang Shrine, the golden phoenix seemed to feel something, and suddenly let out a loud phoenix cry, as if it came to life, and looked at Li Daoxuan with its domineering and sharp eyes.

However, the next moment, it seemed to be frightened in some way, its whole body trembled, the gold foil fell like feathers, and it quickly turned its head tremblingly.

Gold foil fell to the ground like rain, and the soldiers on duty at the Vientiane Palace suddenly exclaimed.

……

Zichen Palace.

Behind the lavender curtain, the 68-year-old diva is making waves and going wild.

If anyone pulls back this fig leaf, they will be shocked to find that the man serving the Queen of Heaven is actually wearing a cassock and is a bald monk.

It was Feng Xiaobao who had special skills.

After all, Feng Xiaobao was a scoundrel in the market, a gangster who sold Dali Pills. Wu Zetian was afraid of losing face, so she made him the abbot of White Horse Temple.

His status as a monk also provided him with an excuse to frequently visit the harem, such as chanting sutras and praying for blessings.

So Feng Xiaobao, who couldn't read a word, became the abbot of the famous White Horse Temple. It has to be said that it is a huge irony.

For Feng Xiaobao, the phoenix bed was no longer interesting. He preferred to be in Zichen Palace.

This is the place where the two saints came to discuss politics. As Li Zhi's health became worse and worse, the two saints slowly turned into one saint.

Feng Xiaobao gets excited every time he thinks about sitting in the emperor's position and having affairs with the aloof Queen.

After the cloud and rain.

Wu Zetian's face was flushed and her whole face was radiant.

Power is a magical thing with incredible magic power. Under its influence, the 68-year-old Wu Zetian is still full of energy and even grew new teeth and eyebrows this year.

Although there are some wrinkles on his face, he overall looks like he is in his 40s, and his charm is still there.

Satisfied, she looked at her lover's bald head and couldn't help but let out a chuckle. She leaned lazily on the phoenix couch. Just as she was about to reward him with something, she felt a sudden stab in her heart.

An inexplicable panic emerged.

Immediately afterwards, someone outside shouted: "Queen of Heaven, it's bad, the phoenix in the Vientiane Palace... dropped some gold foil!"

Wu Zetian's expression instantly darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Go find out what's going on."

"Kill all the soldiers on duty and the craftsmen who made the golden phoenix, and replace them with another batch."

The murderous voice made the maid outside the palace tremble, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Even Feng Xiaobao held his breath and did not dare to take a breath.

Although the two of them had just been in a loving relationship with each other, he was very aware of the queen's methods. If he really thought that he could conquer this woman just by relying on his skills in bed, it would be absolutely wishful thinking.

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, showing his dignity without anger.

The Vientiane Shrine is of great significance to her, and there must be no room for error.

"You go back first."

Feng Xiaobao's eyes were a little disappointed, but he could only leave. However, as soon as he went out, he vaguely heard the Queen's voice.

"Go to Control Crane Prison and call Liu Lang over."

In an instant, Feng Xiaobao's heart was filled with jealousy.

Liulang, also known as Zhang Changzong, has been favored by queens recently. He has a face like a crown jade, extraordinary handsomeness, and an aura of transcendence. Some even say that he is the reincarnation of the immortal prince Qiao.

The most important thing is that this person is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has always looked down on this vulgar person.

The more Feng Xiaobao thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, the jealousy spread. He was so angry that he did not leave the palace and went directly to control the crane.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Today he will tell the world who is the real man!
……

Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and ignored Jin Feng who was frightened by him, with a trace of amusement in his eyes.

"The Vientiane Palace... I see, things are getting more and more interesting."

"Taizong, you owe me another favor this time."
