Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 111
Midnight.

Li Daoxuan was reading an ancient book by the candlelight.

Under the firelight, a few large characters were exposed on the cover - Taiyi Tiangang Sword Art!

This sword art can only be practiced in the middle stage of Bigu, Li Daoxuan's cultivation is just right, since he has seen the master's realm of ten thousand swords, and the old heavenly master's sword Zhan Yangshou, he is very yearning for the way of swords, naturally he is very hungry, often Enlightenment.

The reason why I don't need to practice with my avatar is because I am afraid that I will scare that dirty thing.

If she dared not come, Li Daoxuan would be disappointed instead.

Time passed by little by little, just when Li Daoxuan thought she didn't dare to show up, there was a sudden sound outside...the sound of sharpening knives?
The sound of iron and stone rubbing is particularly crisp, very eye-catching in the middle of the night.

Li Daoxuan's ears twitched, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, could he finally bear it?
……

The small farmyard opposite the Qingniu Temple.

The blind old man was sitting in the yard, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, rubbing it repeatedly on the whetstone, sprinkling a little water from time to time, and continuing to sharpen it.

The crisp sound of sharpening the knife resounded in the night for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man finally stopped sharpening the knife and ran his fingers across the blade.

Bright red blood spewed out instantly, staining the kitchen knife red, but the old man seemed completely unaware of the pain and did not respond.

In the end, he looked at the kitchen knife, and his originally empty eyes seemed to be brightened, revealing a piercing smile.

Turning around, he entered the kitchen.

The sound of chopping meat began to sound...

Li Daoxuan sat in the room and waited for a long time, but the dirty thing did not come out, and there was only the sound of sharpening knives all around.

Soon, even the sound of sharpening knives disappeared.

boom! boom! boom!
The door of Qingniu Temple was knocked suddenly.

When Li Daoxuan opened the door, he was a little surprised. Standing outside was a blind old man who lived across the street. He was holding a bowl of wontons and said with a smile, "Young man, be hungry. I'll make you something to eat."

Li Daoxuan saw him hunched over and tiptoed, his posture was very strange.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the old man seemed to have become thinner, and his clothes were empty, fluttering in the night wind.

The bowl of wontons was filled with butter, and the aroma of the meat was very strong, sweet and tangy.

Li Daoxuan took a step back calmly, and said with a smile, "Please come in."

Holding the wonton in his hands, the blind old man crossed the threshold with ease and entered the Qingniu temple.

boom!
Li Daoxuan closed the door, and even locked it, smiling at the blind old man, showing his white teeth.

The corner of the blind old man's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he handed over the wonton and urged, "Eat it quickly, this is the best meat!"

Li Daoxuan took the wonton, looked at the oil residue inside, smelled the smell of meat, and couldn't help feeling sick.

"Young man, why don't you eat?"

The blind old man took a step forward and continued to urge.

Li Daoxuan saw blood stains where he walked, and his trouser legs were already soaked.

Li Daoxuan didn't want to play with him anymore, he sneered, threw the wonton in his hand, and smashed it to the ground.

"Young man, what do you mean?"

The old man stared at Li Daoxuan with those empty eyes, and his voice suddenly became very low.

"Hehe, that's a good trick. You're still a human at dusk, but you'll become a ghost after dark. Old man, you can hide well enough."

Lee Daoxuan showed a bright smile.

"It's just a coincidence, Pindao Taichong, the ninth generation direct disciple of Longhu Mountain, his favorite thing is catching ghosts!"

A trace of resentment flashed in the old man's eyes, and his voice suddenly changed, becoming very sharp, as if he was imitating a woman's speech.

"If you don't eat wontons, I'll make you wontons!"

His nails grew longer and turned black, and he suddenly rushed towards Li Daoxuan.

However, at the next moment, Li Daoxuan's body radiated a lot of light, shooting out streaks of golden light, as if he was wearing a layer of golden armor.

The old man let out a scream and was sent flying by the golden light.

Li Daoxuan was calm and relaxed. Before he opened the door, he used a talisman for himself just in case.

"Monster, you have harmed countless people, today is your death day!"

Li Daoxuan held the Chixia Sword, full of murderous aura, and was about to step forward to kill the ghost.

The old man let out a shrill scream, and the next moment, a reddish figure floated from his body, it was a woman with disheveled hair and distorted face, rushing towards Li Daoxuan.

Her dress is light red, and it has not been completely dyed red. Obviously, it has not completely become a red dress, which is probably equivalent to the late stage of bigu.

Whoosh!
She rushed directly into Li Daoxuan's body, trying to possess her body.

The amulet didn't light up again, and it seemed that it had been used up, but the female ghost showed a trace of bewilderment.

Snapped!
Li Daoxuan turned into a strand of hair and floated to the ground.

It turns out that Li Daoxuan just now has always been just a clone, not the main body!
At this time, a figure pushed open the door and walked out, and it was Li Daoxuan again. He looked at the somewhat confused female ghost, and said lightly: "You are only allowed to possess the body, but I am not allowed to be cloned? Tonight, you are dead. Can't save you."

Li Daoxuan looked at the corpse of the old man lying on the ground, his eyes became more and more indifferent.

There are three lamps on the human body, which are located between the eyebrows and the left and right shoulders to protect the soul. If the yang energy is strong, the lights will be bright, and ordinary ghosts cannot get close.

But this female ghost seems to have a strange ability, she can easily break through the three lamps, and possess herself in the human body.

The meat in the wontons was probably the old man's own meat. After the female ghost possessed her body, she swung a knife and mutilated herself to harm others!
The sound of sharpening the knife heard by the old man was not about slaughtering cattle and sheep, but that the knife sharpener wanted to kill himself!

Li Daoxuan felt a chill in his heart, killing people was nothing more than nodding their heads, this female ghost's methods were too vicious.

The female ghost's eyeballs suddenly turned blood red, and then turned into countless phantoms, rushing towards Li Daoxuan.

For a moment, there were ghost images in front of my eyes, and I couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake.

Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, and said: "How dare you use an axe for such a small skill?"

Heavenly eyes, open!

Li Daoxuan's brows glowed with divine light, and a glowing divine eye opened suddenly, and he saw through the layers of ghosts in an instant, and found his real body.

With a shake of the Chixia sword in his hand, Li Daoxuan took a step forward without fear, seeing the ghosts around him as nothing, and slashed away with his sword!
A shrill cry sounded, revealing pain and panic.

A ghost hand fell to the ground and turned into ashes.

The ghostly shadows all over the sky disappeared immediately.

The female ghost gave Li Daoxuan a look of resentment and fear, as if she wanted to remember the Taoist priest who hurt her deeply for revenge in the future.

She turned around and flew away, trying to escape from the Qingniu Temple.

But the next moment, there were more than a dozen Li Daoxuan on the surrounding walls, either holding swords, or holding talismans, or opening eyebrows and sky eyes, all watching her quietly.

"If you step into the Green Ox Temple today, don't even think about going out again."

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said.

Seeing this scene, the female ghost couldn't help feeling terrified. She knew that she had met an expert, but she didn't expect that this Taoist priest looked so young and possessed all kinds of incredible methods.

Even those Taoist priests of the Longevity Palace who have some means are by no means so powerful. Compared with this little Taoist priest, they seem to be wild Taoist priests...
