Black Myth: Journey to the West: Simulate becoming an immortal!

Chapter 104 Is Lingji Bodhisattva Dead or Not?

"Pfft!"

Chen Xi twisted off the two heads of the two-headed rat and threw them to the ground casually.

The two heads were covered with yellow sand, and they died with their eyes open.

This scene frightened the fox demon in Chen Xi's hand so much that it trembled with fear on its face.

Just now, in order to avenge him in the parchment, Chen Xi tortured the two-headed rat.

The scene was extremely bloody. I guess if someone with a timid heart watched it, he would not be able to sleep for three days and three nights!
"Compassion is reversed, good and evil cannot be distinguished..."

"That's it, that's it!"

Chen Xi had a bad look on his face and was muttering to himself.

It was not until this moment that he understood the meaning of those strange words sung by the headless monk on the human skin paper!
The so-called inverted compassion, inability to distinguish between good and evil, actually meant that he... killed the wrong demon!
The Stone Mother in the rocky forest is not an evil demon who practices cultivation by killing innocent people indiscriminately and staining stones with blood!
All these words came from the two-headed rat's one-sided opinion.

Even the fox demon was fooled by this rat!
The two-headed rat is a monster under the command of the Yellow Wind Monster, and is responsible for mining the mineral deposits in the Stone Forest.

According to the two-headed rat, the Yellow Wind Monster's magical powers are about to be perfected and he will ascend to heaven soon.

However, to complete the magical power, quartz crystal is still needed for cultivation.

Then the two-headed rat took the order and often brought a group of rat cubs under him to rob the quartz crystals in the crystal cave.

And those quartz crystals are needed by the Stone Mother to give birth to her offspring, so how can she easily give them to these mice?

As a result, fights often broke out between the two sides, and many of the rat cubs were killed or injured.

The two-headed rat held a grudge, and thus spread the rumor that the Stone Mother dyed the stone with blood and used it to practice.

He even exaggerated and leaked the news that there was spirit in the Stone Mother's body, intending to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

However, the two-headed rat didn’t know what the essence in the stone was used for, he had only heard of the name.

After a lot of guessing, the rumor came into being that the spirit in the stone could subdue all the stone monsters in the world.

As luck would have it, Chen Xi and the fox demon both had a need for this because of Tiger Vanguard.

As a result, by accident, he fell into the trap of the two-headed rat.

"I was almost killed by you, a rat."

Chen Xi's face was gloomy and he crushed the two rat heads with one foot.

The spirit in the stone cannot defeat Tiger Vanguard, but will instead help to increase his power.

This made him feel a little confused and he didn't know how to deal with Tiger Vanguard.

Could it be that he really wanted to let go of his mind and turn into a real devil again?

When Chen Xi thought of this, a layer of dark cloud inevitably covered his heart.

"No, that's not right. There must be another way!"

Chen Xi murmured to himself and knocked his head, thinking of the headless monk and Shi Gan Dang!
"Don't panic, don't panic, a stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade!"

"There are countless strange stones in the world, but only the stone from Mount Tai can stand up to the standard!"

He kept muttering to himself and seemed a little crazy, but in fact he was very sober.

The headless monk spoke through the stone, and it was obvious that what he said was to ask him to go find that stone dang.

A stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade, which means that this stone is the key to solving the problem of Tiger Vanguard.

But Shi Gan Dang is now buried under the loess. How can he wake him up?
Chen Xi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Ultimately, there is too little information.

Thinking of this, he decided to go and see the so-called Shi Gan Dang in person.

After all, the information revealed by the death prophecy written on the human skin paper is not as detailed as if you were there in person.

Now that it has been confirmed that Shi Gan Dang may be the key to breaking the impasse, how can Chen Xi just sit there and wait for death?

What's more, you may run into the headless monk on this trip.

This time, Chen Xi had to get the answer out of him no matter what!

Chen Xi had made up his mind, and immediately called the Toad Spirit and Shi Linlin, and went to the stone forest himself.

I was blown away by a lot of wind and sand on the way back and forth.

The toad spirit had a sad face and kept complaining.

As for Shilinlin, because it is made of stone, it is not affected by wind and sand at all.

It walked steadily, carrying Chen Xi through the narrow path and arriving at the rocky forest.

There are strange rocks all over the place, making it difficult to walk. Not even a single step is flat.

The wind blew through the strange rocks, bringing with it waves of ghostly howling sounds, which was particularly creepy.

There are many stone statues of Buddha heads scattered on the ground, and one can vaguely make out that they were once the guardian deity of Buddhism, the Vajra God.

Chen Xi remained calm and asked Shi Linlin to lead them deeper into the place.

If you want to find the location of Shi Gan Dang now, you must first find the Crystal Cave.

After all, judging from the death prophecy on the human skin paper, the headless monk appeared near the crystal cave.

Then the so-called Shi Gan Dang should be nearby.

Just as Chen Xi was thinking about it, it happened just as the human skin paper predicted.

Their arrival attracted the attention of the stone monsters here.

I saw stone-like monsters standing up from all directions.

They are used to being domineering and can't stand others hanging around in their territory.

As soon as he saw a living creature, he immediately revealed his body, ready to rush over with a bad temper.

"My Lord, please don't do anything."

"If we kill these stone monsters, we will definitely offend that stone vanguard."

When the fox demon saw this, he started talking.

However, before it could finish its words, Chen Xi had already taken action.

"Certainly!"

Chen Xi shouted, "What you said makes sense!"
In an instant, all the stone monsters that were charging over were frozen in place, unable to move!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xi used all six arms to smash these ignorant stone monsters into pieces with one punch each.

The fox demon was dumbfounded and terrified.

For Chen Xi, seeking is just a matter of understanding one's thoughts.

A group of little demons dared to come and provoke him. If he didn't fight back, wouldn't he be bullied by these stones?

What's more, if these stone monsters are not killed, they will run away and inform others.

It would be better to just kill him directly and wait for the Stone Vanguard to come to him.

"Quack! The Buddha is mighty!"

The toad spirit kept bragging about Chen Xi. To it, the Chen Xi in front of it, who was not sick and was decisive in killing, was the Buddha it wanted.

Chen Xi waved his hand and said nothing.

It's just killing a bunch of little monsters, nothing to brag about.

"Keep going, don't stop..."

Chen Xi left a sentence and sat on Shilinlin, continuing to go deeper into the rocky forest.

Although he was not afraid of Shi Xianfeng, it would be troublesome if he faced him at this time.

The most urgent task is to find a way to release Shi Gandang as soon as possible. There is no need to waste time on these trivial matters.

As they continued to go deeper, Shi Linlin stopped soon.

"I...I seem to hear something calling me."

Shi Linlin spoke in a muffled voice, her tone full of confusion.

"It's okay, go and have a look..."

Chen Xi's tone was inexplicable and he narrowed his eyes.

As soon as he thought about it, he used his clairaudience!
With the divine ear, one can hear all the sounds of sentient beings in the three realms.

The stone mother's call to Shi Linlin is naturally included.

"Is it... you...?"

After Chen Xi eavesdropped on the conversation, his expression became strange.

Before, he had always mistakenly believed that Shi Linlin had fallen victim to Shi Mu's tricks.

But now it seems that the situation is different...

It seems that this stone mother and this stone phosphorus really have some connection.

It was a pity that he, in the human skin paper, could not distinguish between good and evil at that time, and killed the stone mother by force without asking the whole story. But now it was not too late for him to ask in person.

"Maybe I can ask Shi Mu about Shi Gan Dang..."

A thought flashed through Chen Xi's mind. The place where Shi Gan Dang was trapped was not far from the crystal cave where Shi Mu was.

Who knows, this stone mother might know something.

Shi Linlin got Chen Xi's approval, and immediately followed the call, carrying him to a cave.

The cave is hidden in front of a cliff and you can't find it unless you look closely.

Chen Xi sniffed and smelled a bloody smell.

Because of the two-headed rat, he of course knew that it was the smell of blood, which actually came from those little rats that came here to forcibly mine the ore.

It’s a pity that he, who was in the human skin paper, didn’t know about this and mistakenly believed that the stone mother was as cruel as the fox demon said.

In the final analysis, it was because he, the human skin paper, was not thoughtful enough.

If you use your nose to smell it beforehand, the result may be completely different.

Chen Xi shook his head to suppress his thoughts, then took the Toad Spirit and Shi Linlin into the crystal cave.

In an instant, a magnificent scene came into view.

Here, there are blue quartz crystals embedded everywhere, which is spectacular.

These quartz crystals are not ordinary!
It is said in ancient times that quartz is a good medicine for curing diseases and is even called a magical material.

Many alchemists use quartz crystal as a medicine to make the so-called elixir of life.

But it is obvious that Chen Xi is not interested in these things.

His eyes moved slightly and fell on the stone mother standing in the center of the cave.

The stone mother is shaped like a woman's womb and looks particularly strange.

"Son... you are finally here..."

The stone mother made a sound similar to the friction between metal and stone, causing Shi Linlin to freeze in place with a confused look on her face.

At this time, Chen Xi slowly walked towards the Stone Mother.

Perhaps it was because there was still a lingering smell of the two-headed rat's blood on Chen Xi's body, making him look somewhat ferocious.

As soon as he approached, the stone monsters around him began to move strangely.

"Crack, click..."

The sound of soil and rocks falling off was heard.

Immediately afterwards, two strange rocks, one strong and one thin, rose from the ground and blocked Chen Xi's way.

Obviously, these two strange stones were Shi Cangcang and Shi Shuangshuang, who had been killed by him in the previous death prophecy on the human skin paper.

Chen Xi's eyes fell on them and his nose twitched slightly.

Nose and smell are clear!
In an instant, a burst of fresh fragrance representing simplicity, innocence, and kindness wafts into the air.

"They are really a group of good demons."

Chen Xi muttered to himself, looking a little strange.

At this moment, Stone Mother seemed to notice him.

I saw him lowering his body slightly, as if he wanted to touch Chen Xi.

Seeing this, Shi Shuangshuang and Shi Cangcang immediately retreated silently.

Chen Xi looked at this scene with some surprise, wondering what the Stone Mother's intention was.

However, he did not sense any malice from the Stone Mother.

In this situation, Chen Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he did not choose to dodge.

The body of the Stone Mother is extremely rough and feels cold to the touch.

The moment it touched Chen Xi, the voice of the Stone Mother rang in his mind.

"Holy monk, you are finally here."

This time, even though Chen Xi did not use his clairaudience, he still heard it clearly.

"you know me?"

When Chen Xi heard the way Shi Mu addressed him, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"The Bodhisattva once said that if a monk comes here, he must be a holy monk."

The voice of the Stone Mother is extremely ethereal and pleasant to the ear.

When Chen Xi heard the word "Bodhisattva", his expression changed slightly: "Bodhisattva? Do you mean Lingji Bodhisattva?"

For a moment, the only Bodhisattva he could think of who was related to Huangfeng Ridge was Lingji Bodhisattva.

Could it be that this Lingji Bodhisattva, like the old turtle and the Zen Master Wuchao, had once made a prophecy to him?

"Yes, Lingji Bodhisattva brought me here to wait for the holy monk."

"To wait for me?"

Chen Xi murmured, with a confused look on his face.

It turned out that the Stone Mother, whom he had mistakenly killed before, had been waiting for him.

It is hard to imagine how the Stone Mother felt when she saw that the holy monk she was waiting for actually tried to kill her.

"Where is the Lingji Bodhisattva you mentioned now?"

“Is He still alive?”

"Why has this world become like this now?"

"Am I a man of destiny?"

"Why do all 'people' want me to go to that sacred mountain?"

Chen Xi seemed to have thought of something, and the confusion on his face disappeared.

When he saw the Stone Mother, he thought that she might know the whereabouts of gods and Buddhas like Lingji Bodhisattva, and his tone immediately became anxious.

Shi Mu was frightened by Chen Xi's appearance.

For a long while, no one said a word.

Just when Chen Xi was getting a little annoyed and was about to open his mouth to continue asking questions.

The ethereal voice of the Stone Mother finally slowly faded away.

"Holy monk, don't be anxious."

“Although I don’t know the whereabouts of the Bodhisattva, I can be sure that the Bodhisattva is definitely not dead.”

"Lingji Bodhisattva is a person with great supernatural powers. He has long since eliminated all troubles, escaped from the cycle of reincarnation, and gained great wisdom. He is immortal."

"How can such a being die?"

"As for the confusion the holy monk mentioned, I don't know either, the Bodhisattva did not tell me."

When Chen Xi heard Shi Mu say that Lingji Bodhisattva was not dead, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In an instant, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart, which was originally full of despair.

However, the next moment, this hope was swept away by him.

With his telepathic communication, Chen Xi could clearly feel that Shi Mu was lying!
Or perhaps even the Stone Mother doesn’t know whether Lingji Bodhisattva is dead or not!

And what it said was just a white lie made up to appease Chen Xi.
After Chen Xi realized this, the expression on his face instantly dimmed.

He knew that those so-called gods and Buddhas could not possibly still be alive.

Otherwise, how could there be any gods or Buddhas who would sit idly by and watch their own temples, or even Buddha statues, being humiliated by demons?

The image of the rat-headed Bodhisattva flashed through Chen Xi’s mind.

He shook his head, took a deep breath, turned to the Stone Mother and spoke in a deep voice.

"Since Lingji Bodhisattva has enlightened you, it is so that you can wait for me here."

"That"

"Did the Bodhisattva say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Mu seemed a little hesitant. After considering for a while, she slowly spoke.

"The Bodhisattva did say something."

"Walk slowly, walk slowly, or you'll be lost if you keep walking."
