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

Chapter 16 The Old Turtle's Words
long long ago
There was a toad that lived in a dry well. It was very satisfied with its own little world.

There is water and mud here, and there are flies to keep you hungry all day long. There is no danger at all.

It often feels complacent about this and thinks there is no more perfect place in the world than its dry well.

But all this changed on that day.

That day, an old turtle passed by here.

The toad warmly invited him to be his guest and boasted about his cave.

Unexpectedly, the old turtle laughed and said that its vision was too narrow and it did not know how vast the world was.

In this world, there are green mountains and clear waters, and there are five lakes and four seas.

There is also a fairyland where people living there have no worries about food, drink, clothing and shelter, and they are carefree and have good weather.

Everything there is blooming with flowers, life is like a dream, and it is magnificent.

Upon hearing this, the Toad felt ashamed of himself and immediately yearned for it.

It asked the old turtle where this fairyland was and how to get there.

The old turtle smiled and replied: When you can see a Buddhist with a lotus on his head with a ninth-grade flower in full bloom, you can follow him and go there.

The toad took note, and from then on he waited by the well every day, waiting for the Buddha's son.

But year after year, day after day.

From beginning to end, the toad never waited for the legendary Buddha's son.

Gradually, the toad went crazy.

From simplicity to luxury is easy, from luxury to simplicity is difficult.

The fairyland that the old turtle talked about made it unable to accept its own smelly and simple dry well.

Since it cannot go to the fairyland, why doesn't it turn this dry well into the so-called fairyland?

So, all beautiful things, even passers-by, were stuffed into the dry well by the toad to decorate its cave.

The toad was hospitable and would often hold grand banquets just to gain praise and recognition for its cave.

But a dry well, no matter how decorated it is, can never become the fairyland that the old turtle talks about.

It originally thought that there was no hope of reaching the immortal realm in this life, but unexpectedly it finally met a Buddha's son today.

After listening to the story of the toad spirit, Chen Xi's thoughts were already in a mess.

How could such a coincidence happen?

Could it be that he is really the toad spirit, the Buddha's disciple who has been waiting for him?

But how could he be a so-called son of Buddha? Even this lotus was a trick set up by the Buddha who broke his precepts.

Moreover, the story told by the Toad Spirit was a little too weird, especially the old turtle!

The toad demon casually mentioned an unknown fairyland, and then waited for the Buddha's son for many years.

This kind of story is a bit too ridiculous.

Moreover, in this chaotic world where demons are rampant, is there really such a thing as a fairyland?
Chen Xi was deeply doubtful about this and even dared not to believe it.

"Lord Buddha? Lord Buddha!"

The toad spirit's call brought Chen Xi back to his senses from his confused thoughts.

At this time, the Toad Spirit looked expectant, as if it really believed that Chen Xi could lead it to find the so-called fairyland.

Seeing it like this, Chen Xi's expression became complicated.

If possible, he really wanted to kill this demon to prevent future troubles!

After all, no matter how much this toad spirit talks, it cannot change the fact that it eats people.

This can be seen from the details at the bottom of the well.

And the Toad Spirit itself did not hide this at all.

No matter what the story says, passers-by were stuffed into dry wells and caves were decorated.

He still invited Chen Xi to see the stone table that was said to be carved by craftsmen.

All of this shows that the Toad Spirit does not think there is anything wrong with its act of cannibalism.

It is a demon, and humans are its food!
Chen Xi could understand this, but he could not accept it.

However, this does not mean that Chen Xi really wants to kill the Toad Spirit because of this.

If Chen Xi wanted to kill all the man-eating monsters in the world, he would not be able to do so.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. In this chaotic world where demons are rampant, Chen Xi is the outlier!
He just wanted to survive.
Killing the Toad Spirit would certainly relieve his hatred for a while, but it was meaningless. On the contrary, if he kept the Toad Spirit, Chen Xi could get a lot of information about this world from it.

This is a great help to Chen Xi.

"Are you really willing to follow me sincerely?"

After a long while, Chen Xi spoke in a deep voice.

At this moment, Chen Xi's bloodshot eyes were staring at the toad spirit.

If the toad spirit shows any sign of being against its will, he will kill it without hesitation to avoid leaving any trace of trouble.

"Master Buddha, I really want to follow you."

"Only by following you, Master Buddha, can I go to the fairyland."

"As long as the Buddha gives orders, I promise to obey them, hehe."

The toad spirit was unaware of this. At this moment, it was already immersed in the joy of finally being able to go to the fairyland.

Just at this moment, Chen Xi's ears moved again.

At this moment, he actually understood the Toad Spirit's thoughts!

Not surprisingly, the Toad Spirit did not lie and was really prepared to follow Chen Xi.

Chen Xi's pupils dilated slightly. He obviously hadn't expected that his magical power could have such power.

Not only can he hear what is happening in all directions, he can even understand what is in other people's minds.

This made him think of the legendary divine ear.
Chen Xi did not think about it too much. The murderous intent in his heart gradually faded and his emotions finally calmed down.

The evil spirit that had been lingering around him suddenly disappeared into thin air.

"you"

Chen Xi had just uttered a word when he fell down in the mud because of his poor condition.

Today, due to the continuous use of his supernatural powers, his body is severely dehydrated and has even reached the point of dehydration.

The previous fight with demons had caused him to suffer a lot of injuries.

Now that the murderous intent had subsided, the flesh and blood lotus returned to calm, and the injuries that had accumulated previously burst out at once.

Chen Xi released the toad spirit's tongue, and his vision went dark.

"Buddha? Buddha?"

The toad spirit's cry rang in Chen Xi's ears, but it became weaker and weaker.

Soon, Chen Xi's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

A rich meaty aroma gradually drifted into Chen Xi's nose.

"Hiss, uh"

Chen Xi suddenly opened his eyes, and then grimaced in pain because of the severe pain in his back.

"Master Buddha, have some broth!"

When the Toad Spirit saw Chen Xi wake up, he immediately jumped out, his expression full of concern.

There is also a big bowl on its head, which is filled with golden broth.

The broth is very tempting, with good color, aroma and taste. Anyone who sees it will be salivating!

When Chen Xi saw this situation, he felt a little complicated for a moment.

He didn't expect that after coming to this world, the first person who cared about his existence was a man-eating monster!

“You are thoughtful.”

Chen Xi didn't hesitate to drink it anyway.

Then he took the broth and drank it all.

The broth is rich, mellow, silky and very delicious.

This is completely different from the demon meat that Chen Xi had eaten.

Monster meat is usually very fishy, ​​but this broth is different!
This couldn't help but surprise Chen Xi. When did demon meat become so delicious?

Wait!
Chen Xi seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

He quickly looked at the Toad Spirit and asked with a trembling voice: "What kind of meat is this?"
