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

Chapter 117: Laughing to the Sky and Flying Up

The wind stopped its roar...

The first rays of the sun enveloped Mount Xumi...

"Live in Mount Sumeru for a long time, free and at ease, preach the Dharma on three thousand lotus pedestals."

"If you want to leave now, then leave now. If you try to find the end, there will be no end."

"Seeing that all things are impermanent, I feel only the purity of Nirvana."

"Let me go with the wind, and come back to taste Zen..."

The headless monk made a sound in his stomach and slowly fell down.

The Bodhisattva's head, whose brain had burst and skull had collapsed, suddenly returned to its original appearance.

Great light, great wisdom!
A round light arises spontaneously, illuminating Mount Sumeru.

The headless monk was no longer headless, and his stomach no longer made any sounds.

The Bodhisattva's head fits perfectly with his broken neck, without any sense of disharmony, as if it was supposed to be that way.

But the Bodhisattva opened his eyes and spoke.

"I would like to thank the holy monk for saving me from this disaster."

"If there were no holy monk, I don't know when this poor monk's head would be returned."

Although Chen Xi had guessed it in his mind, he still felt complicated when he heard him admit it himself.

Looking back on the journey to Huangfengling, every step he took seemed to be under his control.

From the moment we first arrived at Huangfengling, we learned that the main road was difficult to take and we had to take a small path.

Then go to the Stone Forest and remind him that he killed the wrong monster and he needs to save Shi Gan Dang before he can deal with Tiger Vanguard.

If you think about it carefully, only the nine-ring tin staff is pointed out by the human skin paper, and the rest of the roads seem to be following the roads given by this guy.

"You are indeed Lingji Bodhisattva..."

Chen Xi spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone full of bitterness.

The tragedies of Shi Mu, Shi Lin Lin and others were all caused by Him, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

At this moment, he had countless questions that he wanted to ask this Lingji Bodhisattva, but he didn't know where to start.

“No, no.”

"I am Daosheng, not Lingji Bodhisattva."

"Just as Lingji Bodhisattva can be Daosheng monk, but not Mahasthamaprapta."

"But Mahasthamaprapta can be Lingji Bodhisattva."

The headless monk who called himself Monk Daosheng shook his head.

Chen Xi was confused and puzzled by what he heard.

What does it mean that Monk Daosheng is not Lingji Bodhisattva, but Lingji Bodhisattva can be Monk Daosheng?
Could it be referring to the so-called incarnation in Buddhism?
According to legend, Guanyin Bodhisattva has thirty-two responses, or thirty-two incarnations.

These are the thirty-two forms that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva manifests in order to save sentient beings according to their types and natures.

From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with what Monk Daosheng said.

It simply means that Lingji Bodhisattva is the incarnation of Mahasthamaprapta, and his monk Daosheng is the incarnation of Lingji Bodhisattva.

"However, what the holy monk said is not a problem at present."

"Now that I have found the head of Lingji Bodhisattva, I can naturally be called Lingji Bodhisattva."

Monk Daosheng smiled and spoke. Although he no longer sang in strange tones, he still hadn't gotten rid of his habit of telling riddles.

"It really is the head of Lingji Bodhisattva."

"How could such gods and Buddhas end up like this?"

"Since you are called Lingji, do you know anything?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but speak out and ask what was in his mind.

After Monk Daosheng got a brain, he seemed to be in a good mood and became very patient. He was no longer as crazy as before.

He raised his head, looking at the 'door' that was faintly visible in the sky, his tone vague.

"Saint monk, you don't know. This all started with the 'great catastrophe of heaven and earth'."

The heaven and earth were in great calamity, the gods and Buddhas were annihilated, and it was impossible to escape the suffering of reincarnation.

In order to avoid disaster, Lingji Bodhisattva cut off his own head to protect himself, and managed to fall from his position of enlightenment and become a demon.

However, everything in the world has a cause and an effect.

So He took Shi Gan Dang as His mount, and one day, He pretended to take a rest.

Shi Gandang naturally would not miss such an opportunity, so he chopped off His head, smashed the Little Xumi, and let the Yellow Wind Monster run away.

The Yellow Wind Monster blew away His head, leading to the current situation.

The Bodhisattva Lingji, who lost his head, became a demon and became the monk Daosheng.

Monk Daosheng only knew the consequences, not the causes, so he was not completely clear about many things.

And according to Bodhisattva Lingji's idea, Monk Daosheng only needs to take the stone talisman and wait at Huangfeng Ridge, waiting for the destined person to help him overcome the difficulties.

As long as the reincarnation cycle ends and the disaster is eliminated, He will be able to ascend to the throne again.

However, Lingji Bodhisattva never expected that this reincarnation would last so long...

It will be so long that all living beings will perish, and so long that the heaven and earth will be born and perish!
After so long, Monk Daosheng became so chaste that his character changed!
"Since He Lingji can be this poor monk, why can't this poor monk be Lingji?"

"When the catastrophe is eliminated and the reincarnation stops, Daosheng will pass away, and only Lingji will become a Buddha."

"But... I don't want to."

"I also want to become a Buddha, I also want to ascend to heaven!"

Monk Daosheng opened his arms, and finally revealed a bit of madness in his words.

Seeing Him like this, Chen Xi took a deep breath and his face became gloomy.

Although the story told by Monk Daosheng was still a little confusing and full of riddles, it also made him understand a lot of things.

The reason why gods and Buddhas disappeared is because of a so-called great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

The reason why Lingji Bodhisattva lost his head was because he wanted to escape the catastrophe and lower his own status.

Shi Gandang had said before that he had committed a small crime and was blamed by the Bodhisattva and sealed in the loess.

This so-called small matter probably refers to chopping off the Bodhisattva's head, smashing the small Sumeru, and letting the Yellow Wind Monster run away.

It's ironic to say that gods and Buddhas want to lower themselves to become demons.

However, the demons on the earth are eager to ascend to heaven and become gods.

This world is indeed sick, and it’s a serious illness. Everyone has gone crazy!
Chen Xi remained silent for a long time, looking a little exhausted.

The crazy monk Daosheng gradually calmed down and compassion reappeared on his face.

"Speaking of which, the fact that the holy monk can achieve such a level is beyond my expectation."

"In my play, after the holy monk brings out Shi Gan Dang, a play of subduing demons and subduing tigers should be performed in Crouching Tiger Temple."

"Then a divine wind descended from the sky, and the holy monk had his robes to cover his body, so he was naturally safe and sound."

"But the toad will die as a result."

"The holy monk will become angry and will fight with the yellow wind monster, and then die at its hands."

“Then I will take action and reap the benefits…”

"I took off the demon head of the Yellow Wind Monster, took the human head of the holy monk, and added Lingji's Buddha head. The three flowers gathered at the top of the head. This is the supreme form in the eyes of all Buddhas and gods."

"It's a pity that I never thought the holy monk would be more skilled and find the nine-ring staff."

Monk Daosheng had a compassionate look on his face, and there seemed to be some regret in his tone.

When He looked at the Nine-ring Staff, there was a hint of envy in His eyes.

Chen Xi's face turned ugly when he heard this, and he wished he could eat alive the guy who plotted against him!

It’s a pity that he no longer has any strength and can only be slaughtered.

"Saint monk, there is no need to look at me like this..."

"The holy monk has helped me so much now, how can I do anything bad to him?"

"The nine-ring staff in the holy monk's hand was left behind by Lingji on purpose."

"As a monk named Daosheng, I have a flawed memory and originally did not know the purpose."

"Now it seems that Lingji must have prepared it specially for the holy monk in case of an emergency. I will not take away his love."

"I want to regain my position as a bodhisattva and become Lingji Daosheng Bodhisattva, so I have to resolve the cause and effect."

"The holy monk helped me find my head and regain my position as an enlightened being. This is the cause. Now I am giving you the Dharma. This is the result."

Monk Daosheng smiled and walked slowly towards Chen Xi.

He stretched out his hand with black nails and touched his forehead.

Chen Xi had nowhere to hide and no energy to do so, so he could only let Monk Daosheng do what he wanted.

He just felt a chill on his forehead, as if there was something extra in his mind.

"The method I have given you is called the Beheading Body Protection Method, also known as the Head Reattachment Method, and is one of the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques."

"You can behead someone but not die. You can protect yourself and save your life."

"You can regenerate the head and replace the body."

"You can take the enemy's head and subdue the demons."

After Monk Daosheng finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and prayed for mercy.

Chen Xi looked confused, wondering what was wrong with this guy.

He plotted against him all the way, wanting to be the one who profited from it.

And now that the matter has been accomplished, he has no intention of killing him or taking away the brocade cassock and the nine-ring staff.

Not only that, this guy even gave him magic.

Could it be that it is really just to settle some cause and effect?
Chen Xi opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But I saw that monk Daosheng had already turned around.

He looked towards the 'door' in the sky, muttering to himself.

"It's been too long. It's really too long..."

"Now I have finally achieved perfection and can regain my position as an enlightened monk."

"From today on, Lingji can be Daosheng, but Daosheng can also be Lingji."

"But today the world has changed drastically, even the gods and Buddhas have disappeared. I have regained my position and ascended to become a Buddha. I am the only Buddha in this world."

When Monk Daosheng talked about the only Buddha, he couldn't help but grin.

The mercy on His face was reversed, and He looked crazy instead!

"Now that Mahasthamaprapta is no longer around, I am Lingji, and I shall inherit the position of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva."

"The Buddha said, after Amitabha Buddha passed away, his left attendant, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, took his place."

"After Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva passed away, his right attendant Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva became the next Buddha, mastering the power of transformation and being called Tathagata, the King of the Treasure Mountain!"

Monk Daosheng kept talking to himself, and Chen Xi felt a headache from hearing it.

This guy is crazy!
It is not enough to want to be Lingji Bodhisattva, you also want to be Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

And that would have been fine, but it turns out that this guy’s real purpose is to achieve the status of Tathagata!
What a great monk Daosheng is!
When it comes to madness, Chen Xi is ashamed of himself...

Monk Daosheng clasped his hands together with a smile on his face.

Buddha's light emanated from his entire body, and great wisdom arose spontaneously.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Just like the Yellow Wind Monster, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, flowers fell from the sky, immortal sounds lingered, and Sanskrit chants were heard.

The "gate" stands tall in the sky, looking solemn and majestic.

Monk Daosheng took lotus steps and flew towards the 'door'.

During this process, a fairy belt gradually lingered around his body, making him look even more divine and immortal.

I have a Buddha body, but no one in the world knows it.

No plastic surgery, no makeup, no greed, anger, or ignorance.

Today I finally become a Buddha, and use the Dharma to kill the three corpses.

He laughed out loud towards the sky, and everyone in the world knew.

"Hahaha……"

"Holy monk, I will go ahead and leave now!"
