Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 109 Celestial Master Slays Jiao ([-]rd update)

Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and he asked: "Master, is there really a dragon in this place?"

He had once killed a serpent demon with the blood of a real dragon, but the opponent was the offspring of a real dragon and a rattlesnake, not a dragon yet.

Since the immortal Buddha disappeared, there has never been a trace of a real dragon in this world.

Zhang Qianyang nodded and said, "There really is a dragon in Longyou County, and it's in the Octagonal Dragon Well in the Longevity Palace!"

Li Daoxuan quickly asked: "Master, what is going on?"

"This matter has to start with the patriarch of the Longevity Palace, the Celestial Master Xu Jingyang."

"Xu Tianshi is as famous as the ancestor of our Longhu Mountain. In the first year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty, he studied under Wu Meng, the real king of Dadong, and later created the Taishang Lingbao Jingming method. Encountered a flood dragon making waves!"

"I don't know how many years that dragon has been cultivating. His magic power is so high that even the dragon king of Dongting Lake was bullied by it. He felt ashamed and invincible. The dragon was reckless in the territory of Jingzhou. I don't know how many people drowned in the raging flood every year." people."

"Xu Tianshi hates evil like a vengeful enemy, so naturally he will not sit idly by. He resolutely drew his sword and killed the dragon. The two fought for seven days and seven nights. In the end, Xu Tianshi was the better, and he was able to kill the dragon!"

Li Daoxuan frowned and said: "Something must have happened, someone came to save this dragon?"

Zhang Qianyang nodded and said: "At that time, the gods and Buddhas had not completely disappeared. Just when Xu Tianshi was about to kill the dragon, the incarnation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared and interceded. I hope Xu Tianshi would forgive him and spare his life."

Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect even the Bodhisattva to come, it seems that this monster has a background, or the bloodline is extraordinary, so the gods and Buddhas condescend to come to save him, probably because he wants to save him and become the great god of the mountain.

"Then Xu Tianshi agreed?"

Zhang Qianyang smiled, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said: "Xu Tianshi is as fierce as fire and jealous as hatred. He apparently agreed to the Bodhisattva's request, saying that he would give the dragon a chance, as long as it can dig a hundred ditches before dawn. benefit the people."

"The dragon tried his best to dig 99 ditches before dawn, and it was about to be completed, but Xu Tianshi had already explained to the Uri Xingjun of the heaven, and made him dawn a quarter earlier, so that the dragon fell short."

Li Daoxuan couldn't help giving Xu Tianshi a thumbs-up in his heart. He deserves to be one of the four great Taoist masters. He doesn't even give Guanyin Bodhisattva face. Just for this, it is admirable!
In Journey to the West, Li Daoxuan is very disgusted with those monsters who have a background and can survive. That tall fairy god.

The most typical one is the Three Demons of Shituoling.

To use the original words in the book, it is "Skulls are like mountains, bones are like forests. Human hair is like felt, human skin and flesh are rotten into mud, human tendons are entangled on trees, and the dry scorches are as bright as silver. It is really a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. It really stinks." Bad smell."

It used to be the Kingdom of Heaven, but now it is the City of Tiger and Wolf!
Even though they have done so much evil, the three demons still pat their buttocks and leave in the end, returning to heaven to continue to enjoy happiness.

So after Li Daoxuan heard about Xu Tianshi's behavior, he couldn't help feeling a deep affection in his heart.

"Master, what happened next?"

Zhang Qianyang continued: "Seeing the bright sky, the Jiaolong knew that he had failed, so he damaged his cultivation, ran away with blood, and came to a place where he turned into a teacher."

"It's a coincidence that Jiaolong was afraid of being found by Xu Tianshi, so he worked conscientiously and did not dare to do evil. He actually started to learn the books of sages and taught many good students. He is usually good at giving and has a good reputation in the local area."

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Master, is that place Longyou County?"

Zhang Qianyang nodded and said: "At that time it was not called Longyou County, but Xinjian County. That Jiaolong lived in Xinjian County in seclusion, but he didn't want to be found by Xu Tianshi after hiding for several years, and subdue him again."

"But at that time, the people of Xinjian County pleaded for him together, and even the county magistrate also guaranteed him. Xu Tianshi did not kill it in the end, but took the essence of cold iron, made eight chains, imprisoned it in the well, and killed it in the well. This is the founding of a sect and the creation of the Longevity Palace."

"Before Xu Tianshi ascended, in order to prevent the dragon from getting out of trouble one day, he left behind his dragon-slaying magic sword, and ordered someone to build an iron tree beside the well. He also said that the dragon would only be able to escape when the iron tree bloomed."

Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "Where will the iron tree bloom? Xu Tianshi's move is to keep that dragon from being trapped forever!"

Zhang Qianyang Fuxu smiled and said: "That's exactly the case. From then on, the underground of Xinjian County occasionally heard dragon chant. Over time, it changed its name and called it Longyou County."

Li Daoxuan nodded, secretly thinking that his Chixia Sword was still snatched from the Taoist priests of the Longevity Palace. It seems that it is best not to expose it lightly, so as not to cause trouble in vain.

The two chatted and walked, and soon entered Longyou County.

This county is much larger than Xinyang County, and it is also more prosperous. The streets and roads are smooth, and the people's complexions are rosy, and they look very lively.

"When the dragon is on the ground, and the wind and the cloud gather together, they will naturally get a bit of luck. For hundreds of years, this Longyou County has produced many talents, which can be called outstanding people."

Zhang Qianyang explained.

The two walked for a while according to the location recorded on the land deed, and finally found the Qingniu Temple.

This Taoist temple is not considered broken, with a high plaque on the red door, it even looks a bit grand.

It's just that it's very quiet around here, and you can't hear any noise.

Li Daoxuan saw an old man sitting at the door of the opposite house, his eyes were empty, and he seemed to be blind.

He just sat at the door blankly, with a trace of numbness on his wrinkled face.

Li Daoxuan walked over and asked, "Old man, can you hear me?"

The moment he heard the voice, the old man trembled violently, as if he was very nervous.

"Don't be afraid, I am a Taoist priest of Qingniu Temple."

The old man raised his empty eyes, shook his head and said, "You are not... a Taoist priest of Qingniu Temple... you are all dead!"

Li Daoxuan's heart sank, there was indeed something strange in the view of Qingniu.

No wonder the Taoist priest surnamed Wu gave them the title deed, probably because he wanted to use this dirty thing in the Qingniu Temple to teach them a lesson.

"Old man, I'm a new Taoist priest. What happened to Qingniu Temple? And the people around here, why are they so quiet?"

Hearing that he was a new Taoist priest, the old man couldn't help persuading him: "Master Taoist, from your voice, you should be young. Listen to the old man's persuasion, let's go quickly, all the people around here have also left. People dare to live here!"

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "But don't you just live here?"

"Old man, I'm blind, leaving here, I have nowhere to go."

Seemingly sensing that Li Daoxuan refused to leave, the old man sighed and said, "The sound of sharpening the knife!"

Li Daoxuan was startled, and asked: "What does the old man mean by this?"

The old man's hands kept shaking, and the amplitude was getting bigger and bigger.

"There is a sharp sound of knives every night here. It is very loud. The battle is like slaughtering pigs and sheep."

After a pause, the old man's voice was a little trembling, and he said, "The first ones to be slaughtered... are those Taoist priests from Qingniu Temple!"

　The third is more dedicated, more heartfelt!
