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

Chapter 112: Nine-ring tin staff, human skin appears!
Everything in the world seems to have lost its meaning at this moment.

Chen Xi was in a daze, feeling as if he had slept for a very long time.

So long that there is no time, no everything.
"Where did this little thief come from?"

"How dare you act wildly in my Crouching Tiger Temple!"

He didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly he heard a vicious voice in his ears.

In an instant, Chen Xi suddenly opened his eyes!

Everything in the world seemed to have meaning again.

Tiger Vanguard, Rat Demon, Stone Guardian, and even Toad Demon!
All of this came into Chen Xi's sight again.

"Yellow Wind Monster!!!"

He suddenly woke up and yelled.

The sudden roar frightened all the monsters.

Even Tiger Vanguard was stunned at this moment.

Then, it reacted and became furious.

"How dare you address the king by his name!"

Chen Xi ignored Tiger Vanguard. He kept gasping for breath, as if he had not yet recovered from the great terror between life and death.

At this moment, he was like a drowning man who suddenly surfaced and greedily breathed in every breath of air.

When Shi Gandang and the Toad Spirit saw this, their expressions changed.

Shi Gandang complained in his heart, it's just a tiger vanguard, is it necessary to be scared like this?

I didn't expect that Shi Gan Dang, who was so powerful and majestic in his lifetime, would end up being used as a mount by such a rotten coward!

When the Toad Spirit saw Chen Xi's current appearance, his face was full of worry.

Could it be that Master Buddha is sick again?
Wasn’t it said that the Heart Sutra of some Zen master could cure the Buddha’s madness?
"I, am I alive again? I am a human skin paper!"

Chen Xi finally recovered, opened his ferocious eyes, and tightly grasped the human skin paper.

He looked around and took in the different expressions of the monsters.

In an instant, he knew what time he had returned to.

"Why, why?"

"Why did you come back to this time?"

Chen Xi's pupils shrank slightly, and he became excited. The Buddha head and dragon head on his neck had opened their eyes at some point.

He wanted to start all over again, but he didn't want to just go back to Crouching Tiger Temple.

He still wanted to save the Stone Mother and stop those stone monsters.
And now, the human skin paper returned to Crouching Tiger Temple with only him!

Doesn't this mean that he can no longer save the Stone Mother?

Chen Xi became very angry and began to have demonic obstacles.

It seems that he can no longer control himself and turns into a real demon once again!
Just at this moment, the Toad Spirit cried out with some worry.

"Quack? Lord Buddha."

Chen Xi came to his senses when he heard the toad spirit's cry.

Yes, he also has a toad spirit!
The Toad Spirit was not dead yet at this time, what else could he be dissatisfied with?

When he thought of this, his anger gradually subsided.

However, the anxious mood still has not subsided.

The crisis has not been resolved yet. What will happen even if we return to Crouching Tiger Temple?
In just a moment, the Yellow Wind Monster will become a Buddha and ascend to heaven, blowing the Samadhi Divine Wind.

By then, everything here will vanish into thin air.

There is no way to go up to heaven, no door to enter the earth, he can't escape, and he can't win. What should he do?

Even if he let go of his mind and entrusted everything to the Broken Precepts Buddha and the Dragon King, he still could not defeat the Yellow Wind Monster.

In this situation, can he still survive?
Chen Xi's heart was filled with despair. Why was it so difficult to cross the Huangfeng Ridge?

[No, it’s not difficult to cross]

"Ok?"

Chen Xi was stunned and looked down at the human skin paper.

All I saw was bloodstains on it, and some words appeared on it.

【Burning incense, worshipping Buddha, reading Buddhist scriptures, and meditating on the golden cicada in the quiet night. 】

[The nine-ring staff is always in hand, and the mountains and rivers are in the clouds. 】

[My name is Chen Xi. I never expected this.]

[Golden Chanzi's Nine-Ring Tin Staff was buried under the yellow sand of Yellow Wind Ridge! ]

[It turns out that Jin Chanzi died here once! ]

[And his nine-ring staff is buried here, waiting for the right person. ]

【And I! Am the destined one】

[I ate the human skin paper and gained the power of perfection in advance. ]

[I used this to obtain the Nine-Ring Tin Staff, broke through the 800-li Yellow Wind Ridge, and killed the Yellow Wind Monster.]

【But I still died.】

[Dead]

The writing on the human skin paper seemed to have not yet been fully revealed when it suddenly stopped inexplicably.

The blood stains became heavier and heavier until nothing could be seen at all.

It was as if the person who wrote these words in blood spat out a large mouthful of blood that smeared on the human skin paper and met with an unexpected disaster.

Chen Xi held the human skin paper in his hand, and his pupils couldn't help but dilate several points.

He never thought that the human skin paper, which had been silent for a long time, would take the initiative to remind him of the way out at this moment!
This scene is just like the Longmen Banquet.

The only difference is that this time it was the human skin paper that manifested itself actively.

What is the purpose of human skin paper?

No, that's not right, he is a rotten person!
It is because of the human skin paper that he is able to survive to this day in this evil and corrupt world.

From this point it can be seen that the human skin paper and he have the same destination.

They just wanted him, Chen Xi, to survive!
"Mumble, grumble!"

"You bunch of thieves kicked my door down!"

"Today, I'm going to tear off all your heads and use them as a snack for drinking!"

When Tiger Vanguard saw that they did not move for a long time, he became extremely annoyed.

However, due to the existence of Shi Gan Dang, it did not act rashly.

It could clearly feel the strong sense of oppression from Shi Gan Dang.

The Tiger Vanguard, realizing he was no match for the opponent, swallowed the Stone Soul in one gulp before the monsters could do anything.

Once the stone soul entered his stomach, Tiger Vanguard's Taoism skills skyrocketed!

A deep blue halo constantly lingers around its body.

In an instant, the huge Crouching Tiger Temple was filled with a terrifying evil aura.

Shi Gandang became anxious upon seeing this.

"Crazy Buddha, are you going to hit me or not? I am itching to do it!"

Chen Xi's thoughts were interrupted and he glanced at Tiger Vanguard.

In the past, he might have been afraid of this guy.

But now...

Chen Xi flattened the human skin paper and swallowed it in one gulp!

This time, the human skin paper did not embarrass Chen Xi like it did in Gao Laozhuang.

As soon as he swallowed the human skin paper, a light coolness swept through every inch of his body. His eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body, and mind, the six senses were filled, and a sense of perfection suddenly arose at this moment.

It was as if at this moment, he possessed the supreme power recorded in the Heart Sutra.

The worries and troubles were slowly soothed away, and even the anger that had been unable to be suppressed calmed down at this moment.

The Dragon King and the Buddha who broke the precepts on Chen Xi's neck no longer looked ferocious, but instead showed compassion and calmness.

All the worries disappeared, leaving only a trace of sadness in my heart.

Lamenting the ignorance of sentient beings, sinking into the cycle of reincarnation, refusing to turn back...

An inexplicable artistic conception enveloped the Crouching Tiger Temple.

Under this artistic conception, Shi Gan Dang, who was sitting under Chen Xi, looked horrified and frightened.

"Why is the aura of this crazy monk exactly the same as that of Lingji Bodhisattva?"

"Could it be that this guy has attained Buddhahood?"

Shi Gandang's heart was filled with shock and he couldn't understand why this crazy monk suddenly became so unfathomable.

As for the Toad Spirit, he had seen Chen Xi like this before at the Longmen Banquet, so he was not that surprised. Instead, he was extremely excited.

Is the Buddha going to show his power again?

"I won't fall for your tricks, die!"

When Tiger Vanguard saw Chen Xi, it seemed that he was the same as it, having taken some magical medicine and his aura had changed drastically.

For a moment, it felt fearful and wanted to pounce on and kill the crazy monk first.

However, it had just taken off and hadn't even landed yet...

At this time, Chen Xi said softly: "Sure..."

In an instant, the Tiger Vanguard, who had been so arrogant and domineering, was fixed in mid-air by Chen Xi's words.

Chen Xi expressed neither sadness nor joy, and extended his hand.

The whole process seems slow, but in fact it only happens in a moment.

Tiger Vanguard, covered in tiger skin, was pulled down by Chen Xi.

Then he shook the tiger skin towards Tiger Vanguard.

"Ow—"

The tiger vanguard let out a strange cry and changed into its original form on the spot, turning into a big rock.

You can still vaguely see the shape of this big rock, which resembles a tiger lying on the ground.

Chen Xi's whole body was glowing with lapis lazuli light, and his brocade robes complemented him perfectly, giving him a feeling of having attained enlightenment.

If it weren't for his three heads and six arms, people would probably mistake him for a living Buddha.

Chen Xi moved his six arms and grabbed the Crouching Tiger Stone in his hand and put it into his bag!
"hiss!"

It was so easy to deal with a creature that was infinitely close to a big demon, which made the rat spirit who was watching the battle on the side gasp.

It had a look of horror on its face, and was frightened to death.

The rat demon didn't even think twice and prepared to dig a hole on the spot and escape from there.

However, Chen Xi did not forget this damn rat spirit.

At a glance, he was able to see through the thousands of veins on the rat demon's body.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the rat demon suddenly exploded and blew into pieces of meat.

The blood raindrops fell, and Shi Gan Dang came back to his senses in shock.

Originally it was still a little reluctant to accept Chen Xi, but now after seeing Chen Xi's great power, it has become convinced.

If it had known that the monk was so powerful, it would have had to be crazy to think of fighting this guy.

Now, there is a hoop on my head and I can’t escape.

And considering the monk's condition, it's probably impossible for it to defeat him.

In this case, does it mean that Shi Gan Dang will always serve as this guy's mount in the future?
When Shi Gandang thought of this, he felt even more depressed, with a blank look on his face.

After Chen Xi dealt with the Tiger Vanguard and the Rat Demon one by one, he did not stop to catch his breath.

He knew very well that he couldn't last much longer in his current state.

He must find the so-called Nine-Ring Tin Staff and kill the damn Yellow Wind Monster within this limited time!
Thinking of this, Chen Xi no longer hesitated.

The divine eye, which is a perfect visual consciousness, seems to have undergone some mysterious qualitative change.

He just had a thought, and all the different shapes and sizes of Huangfeng Ridge appeared before his eyes.

The glazed light shone everywhere, so that every grain of sand in Huangfeng Ridge could not escape his eyes.

In a short while, Chen Xi's expression changed slightly, and he saw the nine-ring tin staff mentioned on the human skin paper under the yellow sand of Huangfeng Ridge!
But there was only the yellow sand hundreds of feet deep, and the nine-ring staff stood safely.

Even though many years have passed, there is still no trace of the stick.

The gold and silver sparkle brightly, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary things.

As the saying goes:
The nine linked rings are made of copper and iron, and the nine-section fairy vine keeps your face young forever.

I am tired of seeing the thin young bones when I get there, and I go down the mountain lightly carrying the white clouds.

The Fifth Patriarch Mahā traveled to the Heavenly Palace, and Luobu searched for his mother and broke through the Earthly Gate.

Not tainted by the filth of worldly life, I enjoy accompanying the divine monk to climb Jade Mountain.

As if it had sensed Chen Xi's gaze, the Nine-ring Staff became spiritual and began to emit a glazed golden light under the yellow sand.

Chen Xi was delighted to see this, and murmured to himself, "I didn't expect the Nine-ring Staff to be in Huangfeng Ridge?"

According to what the human skin paper said before, Jin Chanzi once died here, so this nine-ring tin staff must have been left behind at that time.

But why doesn't he remember that Jin Chanzi died in Huangfeng Ridge in Journey to the West?
And if what the human skin paper meant was true, could it be that Jin Chanzi had died many times just like him?
Chen Xi frowned slightly, but did not investigate further for the time being.

Let’s consider all these trivial matters after we have safely survived this disaster!
He made up his mind and spoke to the Nine-ringed Staff: "How long do we have to wait under the yellow sand?"

"If you don't show yourself now, when will you?"

Chen Xi's voice seemed to carry the great power of preaching.

As soon as the words come out, the law will come true, and golden lotus will emerge from the ground.

In an instant, the earth shook and the entire Huangfeng Ridge was trembling violently.

Seeing this, Chen Xi's face became somewhat solemn.

Obviously, he had not expected that just calling out the Nine-Ring Tin Staff could cause such a commotion.

"Om, Ma, Ni, Ba, Mi, Hum..."

Faintly, Chen Xi heard a series of Sanskrit sounds.

Immediately afterwards, the Nine-ring Staff, which had been moving and about to break through the yellow sand, calmed down again under the sound of the Sanskrit mantras.

"Is this the method used by Lingji Bodhisattva?"

Chen Xi was now extremely powerful and could see the source of the problem at a glance.

The six-word mantra that is suppressing the Nine-Ring Tin Staff now is exactly the same as the six-word mantra that suppressed Shi Gan before, and both belong to Lingji Bodhisattva.

"Weird..."

Chen Xi murmured something, suddenly confused.

Since the Nine-Ring Tin Staff belonged to Jin Chanzi, how could Lingji Bodhisattva seal it under the loess with the Six-Character Mantra?
And judging from its appearance, it is not just as simple as being sealed in the loess, it seems more like this thing is hidden!
In the past, in order to take the Toad Spirit away from the Samadhi Divine Wind, I had used my divine vision to scan the Yellow Wind Ridge, hoping to find a way to survive.

But he searched almost the entire Huangfeng Ridge and couldn't find the so-called nine-ring tin staff.

But now that he had eaten the human skin paper, he had gained great power and supernatural powers, and was able to discover the existence of the Nine-Ring Tin Staff.

All these things really make people wonder what the original intention of Lingji Bodhisattva was and why he hid the nine-ring staff so deeply.

Is this to protect against the Yellow Wind Monster, or against... him?

Although Chen Xi possessed supreme power, he did not have great wisdom, and as a result, he remained confused and unclear for a long time.

Since you can't figure it out for the moment, just don't think about it.

No matter who hid the Nine-Ring Staff, he must get it now!
Be it the Yellow Wind Monster or Lingji Bodhisattva, no one can stop it, I say!
