Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

After many years, Li Daoxuan met the legendary female emperor again.

Unlike Wu Ruyi, who was bullied when they first met, she is now the most powerful woman in the Tang Empire and the aloof queen.

The Wu brothers who bullied her back then have all died on the road to exile, and their descendants all respected her like gods and tried their best to please her.

But the same as before, Wu Zetian, who had become the Queen of Heaven, made a full gesture after seeing him.

In full view of everyone, Wu Zetian bowed and bowed deeply to the figure in white.

"Wu Ru has met with the Immortal Lord. This worship is for the gift of the elixir. If you hadn't given me the elixir, my mother might not have been able to survive that summer."

"Actually, sometimes, Ruyi also wonders, if I had chosen to practice with you back then, would everything be different now?"

As soon as this statement came out, others were shocked.

Did the Queen of Heaven already meet the Imperial Master when she was young?Was he even given a spiritual elixir by the Imperial Master?
Is the Imperial Master even willing to accept the Queen of Heaven as his disciple?

Even Shangguan Wan'er, who had been with Wu Zetian all year round, opened her eyes wide, not expecting that the queen still hid this secret.

She was very envious in her heart. Why didn't such an opportunity fall on her head?

If it were her, she would definitely choose to practice with the national master. King Chen is an example. Not only does he have a high position and powerful powers, he is also as beautiful as a fairy at the age of seventy, which is really enviable.

"It's a pity that you and I never had the relationship of master and disciple."

Li Daoxuan sighed softly, and the figure of the stubborn and smart girl from back then appeared in front of his eyes. For a moment, it was difficult to associate it with the white-haired and wrinkled queen who looked forward to her power.

Wu Zetian worshiped again after hearing this.

"This time, I am not worshiping the Immortal Lord back then, but the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Daoxuan asked curiously: "What's the difference?"

Wu Zetian stared at Li Daoxuan. Although he had no cultivation level, he was very majestic. Although he was a woman, there was an indescribable imperial aura in his movements.

"Li Daoxuan, the great master of the Tang Dynasty, helped the late emperor to clear away evil spirits, create a prosperous age, and achieve unparalleled achievements. After his disappearance, he came out of the mountain several times, but he always turned the tide, helped the building to collapse, and was kind to the country!"

"I am your Majesty's queen, the Queen of the Tang Dynasty. When you see the Imperial Master, you should pay homage to her."

"The former worships the Immortal Lord as a personal favor, while the latter worships the National Master as a favor from the family and the country."

Her words were frank and majestic, and she was able to neither be humble nor arrogant in front of Li Daoxuan, showing her demeanor as a queen.

Li Daoxuan had a trace of amusement in his eyes.

Wu Zetian is worthy of being Wu Zetian. She seems to be worshiping her and giving her enough face, but in fact she has hidden agendas.

The first is to talk about the kindness of the past and move people with emotion.

Then she pointed out her identity as the queen of Li Zhi and the queen of the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Daoxuan was a national master and had great favors to Li Tang, she still had to give her some respect and not have to do everything.

It's a pity that Li Daoxuan didn't accept this trick.

"Wu Ruyi, let me ask you, do you still remember what you promised me back then?"

"Remember, you are not allowed to enter the Tang Palace in this life."

"Since you remember, why did you break your promise?"

There was a wave in Wu Zetian's voice, as if she was seeing the scene before entering the palace again. Her eyes narrowed and she said firmly: "Because I have no choice."

Li Daoxuan was a little surprised.

"Immortal Lord doesn't know that after I returned to the human world, I was still bullied by the Wu brothers, but I was able to survive at least until the winter of the 13th year of Zhenguan, when they wanted to marry me off."

Although Wu Zetian was a legitimate daughter, she could not inherit the title and wealth of the warrior Xun. After her father's death, her fate was controlled by her clan members.

She has read history books since she was a child, is talented, intelligent, and knowledgeable. How can she be willing to marry a mediocre person?
It might as well kill her.

So that winter, she made a decision on her own - to enter the palace!
Since you have to get married, then marry an earth-shaking great hero and fight for a future in the harem of the Tang Dynasty.

"Immortal Lord, I was completely devastated at that time, and suddenly I remembered what you once said, that you are not allowed to enter the Tang Palace in this life."

"At that time, I understood that Tang Palace, only Tang Palace, was my only way out!"

Her voice suddenly became louder, and her eyes shone with a compelling look.

To this day, she believes that it was the best choice she made in her life.

Li Daoxuan looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "So when you enter the Tang Palace, you are receiving my guidance?"

"Ruyi doesn't dare. Ruyi just tells the truth and doesn't dare to hide anything."

Li Dao

Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian's eyes became even brighter, like stars in the sky.

Sure enough, I am destined to take charge of the Tang Dynasty, and even...become the emperor!
"Originally I didn't plan to care about these things. Whether you can enter the Tang Palace or not has nothing to do with me, but..."

Li Daoxuan looked at her and sneered.

"The ruthless officials under your command do not distinguish between black and white and commit many evil deeds. The martial arts disciples you appointed killed rivers of blood north of the Yellow River. The corpses of the people can even fill the local valleys. How do you explain all this?"

Wu Zetian's face paled slightly, but she still said calmly: "As I said before, Ruyi has no choice."

"I am a woman. If a woman wants to hold power and be above all men, she must use extraordinary means."

"I know that cruel officials are notorious, and I also know that the children of the Wu family cannot be used because of their unmatched virtues, but I must use them, because only by using them can I survive and get what I want!"

Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and even though she was 67 years old, she was still full of energy, which shocked many people.

Facing Li Daoxuan, Wu Zetian knew that concealment and perfunctory were useless. She chose to be frank and speak her mind directly.

"Everyone who has become a great person since ancient times has stepped on bones and mountains of blood and corpses. Of those men who became emperors, who can be any cleaner than me, Wu Ruyi?"

She raised her head, with a hint of pride in her eyes, and her golden phoenix robe fluttered in the night wind, like a leering phoenix.

"For thousands of years, I don't know how many men have sat on that emperor's seat, but I want to sit on it as a woman!"

"Emperor Qin can sit, Emperor Wu can sit, Emperor Taizong can sit, but I, Wu Ruyi, can't sit, why can't I?"

Her words were impassioned, confident, and highly contagious, making the soldiers and bad guys tremble in their hearts.

At this moment, she no longer hides her ambition that has been buried for many years. She just wants to be the emperor, and for this she is willing to risk everything!
In fact, if it weren't for a thorn like Chang Le, she would have ascended the throne and become the first female emperor in the world.

Hearing her words, Li Daoxuan nodded slightly.

In any case, Wu Zetian still has the courage to become the only empress in history. The reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West has her own merits.

"Immortal Lord, if you don't give up, I would like to rule the Tang Dynasty with you like Taizong did back then, and even worship you as the emperor's teacher and treat you as a student!"

She even extended an olive branch to Lee Do Hyun.

As long as Li Daoxuan is willing to help her, then all problems will be no problem.

Li Daoxuan took a sip of wine and said calmly: "I can't be the emperor's master, and you can't be the emperor."

Wu Zetian's body trembled and she said: "Why, is it possible that even the Immortal Lord is obsessed with the prejudice between men and women?"

Li Dao dyed the Yellow River red.

The corpses of those good officials who had true talents and knowledge and loved the people like sons were lying quietly in the prison of cruel officials.

If it weren't for Li Daoxuan, perhaps the Di Renjie of this world would have died in Pengze County.

Wu Zetian wanted to say something else, but then a figure rushed out. It was Zhang Zongchang. He stood on the edge of the top of the tower, looked at Wu Zetian and cursed: "Demon Queen, do you still remember my face?"

Under the moonlight, his face was pitted and dripping with blood, looking like a ghost.

"In order to turn me into a national master so that you could trick King Chen into poisoning me and realize your dream of becoming the empress, you asked Shangguan Wan'er to cut off the flesh and blood of countless men and put them on my face."

After a pause, he pointed at his bloody face, his eyes becoming more and more crazy.

"Three thousand nine hundred and forty seven dollars!"

"Including tonight, Shangguan Wan'er made a total of 940 cuts on my face. It's been six years. I'm counting every cut!"

The people below suddenly took a breath of air and felt chilled.

More than 3000 knives, how painful that must be?
You know, that was Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Liulang, who was always known for his handsome appearance.

Someone once exaggerated that Zong Chang was as beautiful as a lotus flower, and others retorted that it was not that Liu Lang looked like a lotus flower, but that a lotus flower looked like Liu Lang.

How can Zhang Zongchang still look like a lotus flower today?It's not an exaggeration to say he's a fierce ghost.

"You think you can threaten me by poisoning me and controlling my family?"

A trace of resentment flashed in Zhang Zongchang's eyes. At first, he even liked Wu Zetian. Although she was a little older and had some smell on her body, she could bring him overwhelming power and the majesty of the queen. He was fascinated and hated it. You cannot fall at its feet.

But as the cold blade cut his face again and again, and after 940 heart-rending tortures, he completely fell into madness.

Fuck the queen, screw the family.

Zhang Zongchang’s only purpose in living is to take revenge!

"Hahahaha, Demon Queen, do you really think that everyone will be willing to sacrifice their lives for you?"

"Today I, Zhang Zongchang, will tell the whole world about the dirty things you did!"

Wu Zetian's expression changed.

Zhang Zongchang laughed wildly and said: "People below, do you know why the emperor never dies despite being seriously ill for many years?"

"Quick, where is the Yulin Army? Shoot this guy to death. Don't let him slander His Majesty!"

Wu Zetian's voice suddenly became sharp, and she pointed at Zhang Zongchang and shouted loudly.

But no one dared to move, and the surroundings were silent.

Just because of the figure in white who was drinking quietly on the top of the tower.

The bad guys and the Hidden Dragon were even more direct, showing off their magical weapons one after another. If the Yulin Army dared to make any unusual move, they would be killed instantly.

Zhang Zongchang was brought up by the Imperial Master. He was able to stand on it and speak at this moment because of the Imperial Master's tacit approval.

The old man didn't say anything, how could he allow a demon queen to interrupt?

If Li Zhi were here and took the power of Li Tang as the orthodox emperor, they would still have many fears. What does a mere Wu clan mean?
Zhang Zongchang continued to shout loudly: "That's because the emperor in the Zichen Palace is fake, and his face was spliced ​​from countless dead people!"

"The real emperor has died a long time ago, and his body was buried under the foundation of the Vientiane Palace!"

Boom!

These words were like a thunderbolt, which shocked everyone so much that they couldn't believe their ears.

Only Li Daoxuan continued to drink quietly, seemingly not surprised.

"The Wanxiang Shrine was built to suppress Li Tang's dragon energy. With the emperor's body buried underneath, the Demon Queen's golden phoenix could continue to swallow the dragon energy and grow stronger, and then feed it back to her, eventually helping her ascend the throne and become emperor, usurping the Tang Dynasty and establishing herself on her own. !”

In an instant, Wu Zetian's face turned pale, she clenched her fists and her nails dug into her flesh.

In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the first year of Hongdao. On that day, 55-year-old Li Zhi died of wind disease and passed away in the Zhenguan Hall of Ziwei Palace.

Unlike some rumors, Wu Zetian had not poisoned her, and she had tried her best to take care of her.

But just like Taizong back then, the longevity of the emperor was determined by nature and not man-made.

She did not announce the news, but chose to block it.

Because King Chen is still here!

She was able to compete with King Chen and control the government mainly because of Li Zhi's support. If Li Zhi died, King Chen would definitely let her return to the throne of the new king. As a queen, she would soon become a has-been queen mother.

But she also knew that she could hide it for a while, but not forever.

Moreover, she and Li Zhi had been married for decades, and it was absolutely false to say that they had no feelings. She couldn't bear to watch her husband's body rotting and smelling.

Until someone comes uninvited.

Taoist Ming Chongyan.

He held the "Book of Man" in his hand and presented a volume.

Use the painting method in "The Book of Man" to recreate a puppet emperor. At the same time, Li Zhi's body was secretly buried in the palace, and a high tower was built to suppress it. A golden phoenix was built on it to eat away at Li Tang's dragon energy and help Wu Zetian ascend the throne in the future. For the emperor.

She felt angry at first, but the words "ascend to the throne and become emperor" echoed in her mind like a curse.

In the end, she chose to agree, and the reason was still the same.

She has no choice.

Although she has been a great queen over the years, she has also made too many enemies. Once she falls, those enemies in the open and in the dark will eagerly come out to eat her flesh and drink her blood.

Therefore, although she values ​​​​the Vientiane Shrine very much, she rarely comes there.

Because she was ashamed to see Li Zhi who was buried under the tower.

"Demon Queen, you think you control everything, but have you ever thought that even you are just a pawn in the hands of others?"

Zhang Zongchang laughed loudly, as if he were crazy, and his voice was very happy.

He has been waiting for this moment for too long.

Next, he made an action that surprised countless people.

I saw him holding a dagger, stabbing into his chest, cutting open the flesh and blood, and grabbing out the beating bright red heart.

"It's the last one, Demon Queen, your end has come!"

"Hahaha, I'm waiting for you in hell!"

As he spoke, he jumped and jumped from the tower. His body fell to the ground and fell into pieces. Even his beating heart broke in half, and blood splattered.
