Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 496 Luoyang White Horse Temple, Weird Shangyang City

The next day, early in the morning.

Little Chang Le is meditating with Li Daoxuan, the two of them are bathed in the morning glow, breathing in dense purple energy, circulating around the sky, their bodies are radiant, they look like immortals from a distance.

This scene seemed quite comfortable and peaceful. There were two figures, one big and one small, both wearing Taoist robes, bathing in the sunlight, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a warm morning breeze, birds chirping, and a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

However, an anxious voice broke the calm.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Xuanzang came running in such a hurry that he didn't even put on his monk's robes, and his calm and quiet demeanor in the past was gone.

Li Daoxuan did not stop practicing, but walked out of his body with a pale golden light, and his robes fluttered with pure yang energy, causing an invisible warm wind to blow in the courtyard.

"Xuanzang, why are you so panicked?"

Li Daoxuan greeted Xuanzang with the Yang God, so that the body can continue to practice without delay.

After becoming the Yang God Realm, the soul changes from pure yin to pure yang. Not only can it walk under the sun openly, it can even absorb sunlight to make up for mana like a fish in water.

In other words, if the Yang God is under the sun, his mana will hardly be exhausted.

This feeling is very comfortable. Now Li Daoxuan likes the yangshen out of his body very much, and often comes out to bask in the sun.

"Brother, I dreamed about Master last night, he... he seems to be very bad!"

Xuanzang didn't hide anything, he told all about his nightmare last night, his eyes were full of worry.

"Brother, that dream feels too real. I have a hunch that Master is encountering an accident, so he entrusted the dream to me. Master is asking me for help!"

"Brother, trust me, the only person I can turn to for help now is you!"

After listening to Xuanzang's description, Li Daoxuan's expression also became serious.

He said in a deep voice: "Xuanzang, don't be in a hurry, the eldest brother will naturally believe you, this matter is definitely not easy, Master Sanle must be in danger."

Hearing that Li Daoxuan believed in him, Xuanzang breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that his elder brother would not believe him.

Li Daoxuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Xuanzang, do you usually dream?"

Xuanzang shook his head resolutely, and said, "Brother, although I have no cultivation, my master taught me meditation since I was a child. I have stopped dreaming all these years."

Li Daoxuan nodded and said: "That's it. A person who doesn't dream suddenly has a nightmare. I guess even if it wasn't Master Sanle entrusting the dream, it may be that you foresaw something in advance."

"Brother now, I won't hide it from you. Master Sanle once came to Chang'an. He said that he would prepare to deal with Mo Luo, but in order to prevent the leakage of the secret, he didn't tell us the specific plan. He just said that when the time is right, will tell us where Mora is."

Li Daoxuan sighed, and said: "It seems that there are some problems with Master San Le's plan."

When Xuanzang heard this, he became very anxious.

"Brother, let's find my master quickly. He said in his dream that he was going to Shangyang City to find an old beggar covered in pus. I guess that old beggar must know about Master's situation!"

Li Daoxuan said calmly: "Shangyang City is on the Henan Road, so it's not close to here. Before leaving, I have to go to the palace and make arrangements for Chang'an."

Although Xuanzang was worried about his master's safety, he also knew that Li Daoxuan was responsible for the national teacher, so he couldn't just leave.

He bowed deeply to Li Daoxuan, and said, "Brother, I will cause you trouble again this time."

Li Daoxuan patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Master Sanle is also a senior I respect, and besides, this matter is related to Mo Luo, even without your relationship, elder brother will not sit idly by."

"Just wait a moment, brother will come as soon as he goes."

After finishing speaking, Li Daoxuan's sun god turned into a golden light and flew towards the palace.

……

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.

It was rare that Li Shimin was not reviewing the memorial, but was playing Go with Empress Zhangsun. He was using the chessboard that Li Daoxuan gave him. Even in the scorching summer, the surroundings of the chessboard were icy cold, very magical.

"Empress... did Changle greet you this morning?"

After a long time, Li Shimin finally couldn't help asking.

Empress Changsun glanced at him and said with a slight smile, "Your Majesty wants to ask Chang Le if he returned to the palace last night."

Li Shimin coughed, and said: "Changle is still young, even if he is practicing Taoism with Master, he can't stay out all night. After all, he is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. It's not good to spread the word..."

Empress Changsun let out a chuckle, and said: "Since your majesty is unwilling, then it's too aggressive to order punishment. Who let him, who is a master, rob your majesty's precious daughter?"

Li Shimin suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and decided not to give in to the queen anymore. He launched a fierce killing method, making moves like flying, trying to get back his face on the chessboard.

But I didn't expect that Empress Changsun's chess style was steady and rock-solid, and she even launched a counterattack, quietly controlling a big dragon of Li Shimin.

Only then did Li Shimin realize that the queen had given way to him before.

"Your Majesty is mighty, and this concubine is too frightened."

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled, with a hint of playfulness in her voice.

Li Shimin gasped, couldn't bear it, absolutely couldn't bear it!

He loosened his waist, walked over domineeringly, and hugged Empress Changsun horizontally.

"Bold Avalokitesvara, I'm going to compete with you in martial arts today!"

Empress Changsun blushed instantly, perhaps it was because of Zhou Tian's star formation, His Majesty was happy in her heart, and she was also very brave in some aspects, she was happy in her heart, but sometimes... His Majesty always doesn't care about the occasion... …

Seeing that an indescribable drama was about to be staged in the Palace of Ganlu, Gao Quan, the chief eunuch, came suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, the national teacher is here to see you!"

……

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Daoxuan saw the emperor and queen.

His majesty's expression was as usual, with a dignified aura, he was concentrating on looking at the memorial in his hand, that is, the loose jade belt around his waist, as if some secret had been revealed inadvertently.

Empress Changsun is still so dignified and bright, dressed in palace attire, elegant yet agile, noble and gentle, with a scholarly temperament, which makes people feel close to her subconsciously.

Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, Empress Changsun had a faint blush on her graceful and luxurious face.

"Tai Chong, did Chang Le sleep well last night?"

Empress Changsun asked suddenly, and Li Shimin, who was reviewing the memorial, also subconsciously pricked up his ears.

"Very good. Changle is still meditating with me this morning. She has a calm temperament and can calm down. She is a superior talent in cultivating Taoism, and she will become a great weapon in the future!"

Hearing Li Daoxuan's praise, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth at some point.

"That's good, by the way, Taichong, do you have someone you like?"

Empress Changsun looked Li Daoxuan up and down, smiling.

Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The empress is worried about you, and the poor Taoist already has someone he likes."

Empress Changsun revealed a trace of regret when she heard the words, and said: "Well, I heard that there is a rule in Longhu Mountain that you can only have one wife in a lifetime, unfortunately, those who ask me to be a matchmaker, I'm afraid they will be disappointed. "

Li Shimin shook his head and said with a smile: "You, I still can't change my fault of liking to be a matchmaker. If you are too attached to the person you like, how amazing is that? How can it be compared to those vulgar things in the world?"

As he said that, he blinked at Li Daoxuan, showing that I understand you.

Li Shimin had seen Empress Tsing Yi, and he could clearly feel that the holy and beautiful fairy had a very special attitude towards Taichong. If there was no trick between the two of them, he could eat the Chuanguo Yuxi!

"Vulgar things in the world, vulgar fans?"

Empress Changsun re-read these eight characters, and then thoughtfully said: "It seems that your majesty's vision is very high, and the beauty of the world can no longer satisfy you. I just don't know which fairy you have taken a fancy to. I am the master. How about hiring you to be the Lord of the Sixth Palace?"

Li Shimin immediately straightened his back, waved his hands again and again, and said with a wry smile: "The queen is joking, I never mean it!"

Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled, and stopped teasing, but said: "The national teacher came to see His Majesty, there must be something important to discuss, so I will stop nagging myself."

With the dignity of a queen, she saluted Li Daoxuan gracefully, and then retreated slowly with a graceful posture.

"Queen, you are not an outsider, why don't you listen together?"

Li Shimin was a little bit reluctant for her to leave, so he persuaded her aloud.

But in this matter, the easy-going and friendly Empress Changsun showed unprecedented persistence. She bowed to thank Jun En, and then slowly withdrew from the Ganlu Hall.

"Oh, my queen, everything is good, she is too virtuous..."

Li Shimin complained to Li Daoxuan, but the proud smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed no matter what.

It's just a few big characters written on the face - my wife is so kind, you don't have it.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but think of Empress Tsing Yi and Sister Yu, both of them are his sweethearts, and they have deep affection for him, if they can marry their master and apprentice together, and enjoy the blessings of equal people, then life will be considered nothing sorry.

But now is not the time for children to love each other, Li Daoxuan hurriedly stepped forward and told Xuanzang's dream.

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked solemn, and said, "Does the national teacher think this is not just a dream?"

Li Daoxuan nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, Master Sanle is a strange person of a generation. He has the body of Maitreya Buddha, and his cultivation level is far above mine. If something unexpected happens to him, it shows how terrible Mo Luo is!"

After a pause, Li Daoxuan emphasized: "Your Majesty, although we have set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou array, we can see the monsters in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but we must know that the human heart is dangerous, more than the monsters. If Mo Luo is not eliminated, it will happen sooner or later." Big trouble!"

Li Shimin nodded, deeply agreeing with this.

"The national teacher is right, but you are now in charge of the Four Sacred Formation and are in Chang'an. If you leave, what should you do if something happens to Chang'an?"

He wasn't worried about his own safety, but Zhou Tian Xingdou's formation was just formed, and Chang'an was the core of this formation. If some monsters invaded Chang'an and destroyed the formation, it would be a big loss.

Li Daoxuan was already prepared for this, and he said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Pindao has integrated part of the formation map of the Four Saints into the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, so that even if Pindao is not in Chang'an, the person who holds the seal can also mobilize the Four Saints. The Holy Formation is guaranteed to be foolproof!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said, "It's a good idea, but I don't know what the national teacher thinks, after you leave, who is more suitable to take over the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?"

Li Daoxuan wanted to say the name in his heart, but he stopped when he reached his mouth.

"This is a state matter, please Your Majesty to decide."

A smile appeared in Li Shimin's eyes, he nodded and said: "In this case, I will let Huang Guanzi take charge of the Four Saints formation temporarily."

"By the way, you just said that in Xuanzang's dream, Master Sanle mentioned Shangyang City?"

Li Daoxuan nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything strange about Shangyang City?"

Li Shimin nodded, picked up a memorial, and said: "After the formation of the Zhou Tian Xingdou, monsters from all over the country were exposed to the sky-gazing mirror, so the governors of various states wrote letters one after another, asking for more bad people to get rid of the monsters earlier, but it's strange Yes, among the 29 prefectures of Henan Province, only Shangyang City has no official letter."

Li Daoxuan asked back: "Could it be that there are cultivation sects stationed there?"

"Perhaps, after all, the White Horse Temple in Luoyang is indeed famous."

Shangyang City belongs to Luoyang, and in Luoyang, the White Horse Temple is a famous temple through the ages, and there are many Buddhist believers. It is said that the abbot of the White Horse Temple is an eminent Buddhist monk in the Yang God Realm.

"But the problem is, I made an order to praise Shangyang Changshi and transferred him to serve in the court. Guess what happened?"

Li Daoxuan wondered: "Could it be that Chang Shi is unwilling to enter the court?"

Li Shimin showed a sneer, and said: "Yes, this Zhou Chang, he is a Jinshi of Wude for six years. He is capable, but he is an official fan. In order to stay in the court, I don't know how much money he lost. , now I take the initiative to transfer him, but he refuses in every possible way."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Taichong, you are going to Luoyang this time, and you just took the opportunity to take a look. What kind of magic power does Shangyang City have, which can make an official fan give up his future automatically, and even dare to fight with me!"

There was a hint of murderousness in Li Shimin's voice.

No matter what kind of power it is, daring to stretch out his hand to the court officials undoubtedly touched his bottom line.

"promise!"

Li Daoxuan bowed and saluted, and then prepared to leave.

At this time, Li Shimin, who was still domineering just now, suddenly stopped him, showing a bit of awkwardness.

"That...Tai Chong, you were born in Longhu Mountain, and you are good at alchemy. I wonder if you have that kind of elixir?"

Li Daoxuan asked at a loss, "What kind?"

Li Shimin coughed and said, "It's the kind of medicine that can make people practice swords continuously at night."

Li Daoxuan reacted for a while before he understood what His Majesty meant.

His eyes were a little strange, and then he thought of the dignified and beautiful eldest grandson empress, and then thought of His Majesty's many concubines, and he felt relieved.

Sure enough, being an emperor is not so easy...

Li Daoxuan took out a bottle of elixir and said: "Your Majesty, this medicine is called Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Bodhisattva Said Fear. It is the proud creation of my uncle Wu Dabao. It has amazing effects. Take it with water at midnight, just One grain will definitely make dragons sing and tigers howl!"

He specially emphasized that it is the proud work of his uncle Wu Dabao.

At this time, Empress Changsun came with fruits. Presumably the two chatted for too long. She was worried that they were thirsty, so she specially sent washed fruits.

Li Shimin stepped forward, quickly put the bottle of medicine into his arms, and said: "Tai Chong, you are too polite, why do you still give me the medicine for health preservation? I am an upright man with a strong body, so I don't need it!"

While rereading the word "health preservation", he quietly gave Li Daoxuan a thumbs up.

……

　Thank you for the one hundred rewards from addicted lovers, green fat, steam, and dragon slaying people, so heartfelt!
