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

Chapter 123: Deep obsession and wishful thinking

"Hurry, Master Buddha! It's too late..."

The toad spirit looked at the surging quicksand river with an anxious look.

Chen Xi looked at the Toad Spirit, which clearly looked a little strange. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say it.

Seeing that the Quicksand River was approaching, the Toad Spirit's urging became more and more urgent.

Because Chen Xi had eaten the human skin paper before, the human skin paper has now lost its effectiveness. It cannot be simulated, cannot be repeated, and cannot provide great power.

In this situation, if you fall into the Quicksand River, there is no chance of survival.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and had to choose to trust this family with whom he had been living day and night along the way.

I don't know what means the toad demon used, but he stuck out his red tongue, rolled up the stone talisman and swallowed it into his stomach.

During the whole process, even Shi Gandang himself did not react.

Seeing this, Chen Xi no longer hesitated and jumped into the toad spirit's stomach.

The toad spirit's belly is moist and sticky, creating its own universe.

Chen Xi and Shi Gandang fell inside, making the place extremely crowded.

There were all kinds of odds and ends scattered around.

Most of them were food prepared by the Toad Spirit so that Chen Xi would not go hungry on the road.

Among them, the Toad Spirit even brought out the stone table where he first entertained Chen Xi.

"This idiot..."

Chen Xi sat down on the stone table with a grim look on his face.

He and Shi Gandang were crammed in the toad spirit's belly, not moving at all, fearing that they would burst the belly.

At the same time, inside the cave.

"Crash-"

The endless and turbulent quicksand river rushed into the cave with overwhelming force.

When the Toad Spirit saw this scene, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"Liushahe...I haven't been back for a long time."

"Quack! No, have I been here before?"

"But, it feels so familiar..."

The toad spirit shook his head, always feeling as if something was weird about himself from the very beginning.

It imitated the Buddha's behavior and slapped itself, which made it feel much better.

"Quack! Why think so much? It's more important to get Master Buddha and the others out!"

And at this moment, the quicksand and weak water completely flooded the place.

The toad spirit had no power to resist and was swept away by the current.

Weak water washes away, and all kinds of obsessions come rushing in!

Previously, just a few drops of weak water brought about an obsession that made Chen Xi feel uncomfortable.

And now the obsessions that the Toad Spirit has to face are more than hundreds or thousands.
However, unexpectedly, the Toad Spirit did not sink to the bottom of the Quicksand River as expected and completely die.

On the contrary, the toad spirit's aura became even stronger in this quicksand river.

However, the Toad Spirit will still be troubled by obsessions!

And every time when it is about to be unable to bear it and wants to sink to the bottom, the deepest obsession in its mind will drive it to swim again!
Fairyland... Fairyland!
The Buddha has not yet taken me to find the legendary fairyland...

There was an inexplicable light flashing in the toad spirit's eyes, and vivid images, accompanied by strong sounds, echoed in its mind.

An unimaginable obsession looms at this moment.

At this moment, it seemed to see something...

It saw itself standing on the quicksand river, eating alive a monk who looked exactly like the Buddha.

It saw itself, capturing mortals to sift through the sand, and struggling to piece together that colorful glass cup.

It saw itself lying at the bottom of the well, staring blankly at the sky, imagining where the immortals lived.

It saw itself following the Buddha all the way westward, its face full of joy.

Gradually, the impact of the weak water became more and more violent.

In the toad spirit's mind, images kept flashing, his thoughts were confused, and his memories were fuzzy.

For a moment, it seemed to have forgotten who it was and what it had done.

However, the image of the monk in its memory is still vivid...

A shout of "Idiot!" awakened the Toad Spirit who was in deep confusion.

It came to its senses, seized the opportunity, and stuck out its long tongue with all its might.

"Clap!"

The long tongue hooked onto the dead tree by the river, and with a sudden force, it pulled the toad spirit up.

It rolled all the way to the shore, its stomach squeezed and it felt nauseous.

The toad demon turned over and vomited, and then spit out Chen Xi and Shi Gandang.

Shi Gandang felt dizzy and shook his head.

Chen Xi's body was covered in mucus. He looked at the toad spirit lying on the ground with a complicated expression.

Why does the Toad Spirit suddenly know so many things?
How could the Toad Spirit survive the Weak Water, which even he himself could not handle?
Why does Mu Zha care so much about the Toad Spirit that he even goes so far as to kill it?
Could it be related to the so-called destiny?

Is the Toad Spirit a frog in a well, or...

Chen Xi wanted to wake up the toad spirit and ask him a proper question.

However, the Toad Spirit was in a very bad condition at this time and was extremely confused.

Obviously, the weak water of Liusha River is not so easy to deal with.

The obsession of all living beings contained therein is so terrifying that it is enough to crush anyone.

Even though Chen Xi used his magic, he was unable to completely wake up the Toad Spirit.

Even with his telepathic ability, he could only get a few mumbling words.

"Master...you are right..."

"Buddha, please stop being crazy!"

Chen Xi looked at the toad spirit's appearance, sighed, and had to give up.

"Big fool, carry the idiot, let's leave here first, otherwise the water will flood again..."

Chen Xi lifted up the toad spirit and placed it on Shi Gandang's back.

The Toad Spirit is not in good condition right now, so it’s better to let it have a good rest first to avoid any accidents.

It didn't take them long to find a high hilltop and stop there. Chen Xi looked down at the rapidly expanding Quicksand River, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"Mu Zha..."

If he wants to cross the river now, he must snatch the colorful glass cup from Mu Zha's hand.

But now Mu Zha has gone into hiding, how can he find this guy?
It is obvious that Mu Zha has now become crazy, and his illness is not even mild!
His attitude changes like a face, moody and unpredictable.

The kind of guy Chen Xi least wants to deal with is this kind of guy.

But every time, the demons he faced were such lunatics.

Now he wants to snatch the colorful glass lamp from the hands of the demon, which is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, he still remembered that Mu Zha attacked and hurt people when the toad spirit mentioned the glass lamp.

From this, it can be seen that Mu Zha definitely cares about the colorful glass lamp.

If this could be used as a starting point...

He seemed to be thinking about something, but soon frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.

At the same time, Quicksand River.

It was pitch dark, yellow sand was surging, and the turbid river water was churning.

A leather bag floated with the current and was filled up again.

Mu Zha’s skin was pale and he looked like a giant that had been soaked and rotted.

It opened its eyes and woke up, holding the broken colorful glass cup tightly in its hand.

The colorful glass lamp emits light, so that even if it is placed in the quicksand river, it will not feel unusual for a moment.

However, Mu Zha's condition was not good. Water stains kept seeping out and he looked very embarrassed.

However, it didn't care. Instead, it kept muttering to itself, showing its madness!

"That toad actually knew the last piece of glass lamp!"

"Destiny, destiny, this must be destiny!"

"Hahaha, I want to become a great demon, I want to attain the supreme status of a god or Buddha!"

As Mu Zha spoke, the colorful glass lamp emitted a strange light.

If there were someone around at this moment, they would definitely be able to see the extremely paranoid obsession in Mu Zha's eyes!
This obsession was so extreme that it had even filled Mu Zha's eyes, leaving no room for any other colors.

Under the influence of this obsession, the fairy belt lingering around Mu Zha became increasingly dimmer.

But at the same time, vaguely, a terrifying aura like that of a great demon began to appear.

suddenly!

Mu Zha's complexion changed slightly, and sticky water continued to seep out of his mouth and nose.

"No! No no no, don't go..."

"Come back, all of them!"

It desperately covered its mouth and nose, trying to stop the weak water from leaving it, but to no avail.

The terrifying aura that was originally spreading slowly dissipated.

"Damn it!"

Mu Zha was furious and his face was ferocious.

It took it a long while to calm down.

The originally dim fairy belt returned to its original appearance.

"Huh... your condition is getting worse. Is it a bit hard to control yourself?"

"A flawed seven-colored glass lamp cannot completely carry obsessions."

"My obsession is getting stronger..."

"If this continues, I'm afraid that the Yellow Wind Monster of Yellow Wind Ridge will be my fate..."

Mu Zha looked unhappy as he stroked the colorful glass cup.

"That toad..."

"It seems I have to piece together the seven-colored glass lamp as soon as possible."

"I don't want to become a water corpse..."

Mu Zha murmured to himself in a low voice, and gradually fell silent...

……

the other side.

A towering and dangerous peak stands, and below it is the turbulent Quicksand River.

Chen Xi sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, seemingly resting his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and put away his clairaudience.

There was a gleam of brilliance in Chen Xi's eyes, and his expression was extremely wonderful.

With his divine hearing, all sounds and colors of sentient beings in the three realms cannot escape his ears.

Now that the hearing consciousness has been developed, its power is even greater than before.

It was not difficult for him to find a guy he had just met among the myriad of sounds and colors.

He heard clearly everything that Mu Zha said in his madness after surviving the disaster.

He had thought that Mu Zha's condition might be very bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad!

Now I can't even restrain myself.

It seems that the obsessions of the living beings scattered in the Quicksand River are really not something that ordinary people can be contaminated by.

Right now, the Quicksand River is swelling wildly, and there's a tendency for it to spread everywhere.

If the obsessions of all living beings here were allowed to spread out, it would probably lead to unimaginable consequences.

Often, the more obsessed the demon is, the crazier and more terrifying it becomes!
Judging from the meaning of Mu Zha's words, the reason why the Yellow Wind Monster is so crazy and so obsessed with changing his head and ascending to heaven is clear.

I'm afraid it has something to do with this so-called obsession...

Chen Xi still remembered that the Yellow Wind Monster had once stolen the oil from the glass lamp.

And since the glass cup is something that carries obsession, then isn’t obsession what the Yellow Wind Monster eats?

The Quicksand River is spreading recklessly. If it continues like this, it might breed many crazy and obsessive monsters like the Yellow Wind Monster.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi took a deep breath.

It seems that everything is right on the colorful glass lamp.

If we can get the seven-colored glass cup, maybe all this can be saved.

"The last piece of the colorful glass lamp..."
