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

Chapter 173 Kneel before the Statue!

Chen Xi shook his head, understanding something in his mind.

Perhaps this situation is one of the reasons why Qingfeng Mingyue parted ways with these Taoists...

His eyes moved slightly, and then they were fixed on the statue in the hall.

This statue looked extremely strange, as if it was pieced together.

The birthday boy has a very obvious bulge on his forehead.

The body of the lucky star is round and plump, and he holds an inverted word "Fu" in his hand.

The appearance of Luxing is that of a man with a black face and long beard, holding a gold ingot in his hand.

On the body of this statue, two intersecting sword marks were extremely obvious, destroying the original charm.

This makes the statue lose its majesty and instead looks a bit ridiculous.

Chen Xi saw that the group of Taoists had finished grabbing the food, and then gathered together in a daze, chanting scriptures, and there was no other useful information.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly walked towards the main hall and gently knocked the Zen staff. The ringing sound rang out, shaking his mind.

Inside the hall, the Taoists who were in a daze were awakened by the ringing sound.

They all looked at Chen Xi, with strange colors flashing in their eyes.

These crazy Taoists do not have the ability to see Chen Xi's abilities.

The atmosphere in the field was tense.

However, Chen Xi's next move was beyond their expectations.

He had a smile on his face, put his hands together, and spoke softly.

"I have long heard that Wuzhuang Temple is a blessed place with outstanding people and a rich Taoist charm."

"I never thought that seeing it today would be even more mysterious!"

“I am so lucky to see the statues of the three gods of happiness, wealth and longevity!”

"I dare to ask if I can join you Taoist priests in comprehending the wonderful Dharma and offering sacrifices to the gods of fortune, wealth and longevity."

Chen Xi's words shocked the black-hearted old lady.

It really didn't expect that this monk could communicate with these crazy Taoists in this way.

Her ability to say one thing to one person and another thing to another person makes even the black-hearted old lady feel ashamed of herself.

At the same time, a group of crazy Taoist priests, who were almost irrational, were stunned for a moment, seeming to be somewhat surprised and confused.

However, they did not take action immediately. After all, no matter what, this guy did not come here to kill and ruin their plans.

Finally, a Taoist priest with a white beard and a more mature look came forward.

The old Taoist priest bowed slightly and spoke cheerfully.

"So you are a great monk. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar..."

"We just thought it was some demon from somewhere, causing trouble again. It was a misunderstanding."

"Since you believe in the Three Stars of Fortune, Longevity and Happiness, you are our comrade. Come in and take a seat."

The old Taoist priest spoke in a friendly tone with a hint of enthusiasm.

The other Taoists stared at Him intently, as if they were reluctant to look away.

Obviously, this was a Hongmen Banquet.

Chen Xi was not afraid at all. He accepted the invitation with a smile and walked in.

He came near and found a cushion to sit on.

From beginning to end, he looked calm and composed.

"Dear Taoist priests, I have heard some rumors before. In Wuzhuang Temple, people only worship heaven and earth."

"Why are the three gods of fortune, wealth and longevity worshipped in Wuzhuang Temple now?"

"Could you please give me some answers?"

The old Taoist priest didn't seem to be completely crazy, at least he could still think.

It looked very emotional and talked eloquently.

"To be honest, this statue of the three gods of happiness, wealth and longevity was personally requested by our two junior brothers Qingfeng and Mingyue."

"Worshiping the three stars of happiness, wealth and longevity can make you immune to all diseases, as blessed as the East Sea and as long-lived as the Southern Mountains."

"Then we will all be immortal..."

The Taoists grinned with strange expressions.

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"If so, what caused this?"

"How can there be scars on the statue? This is truly outrageous."

As He spoke, He pointed at the two sword scars on the statue.

The Taoists looked gloomy when they heard this.

This touched their sore spot, causing a flash of anger in the eyes of these Taoists.

The old Taoist gritted his teeth and spoke.

"It's still those two bastards!"

"Qingfeng and Mingyue are selfish. They have eaten ginseng fruit before, so they don't need to worry about their lifespan."

"They cursed us and guarded the back garden, not letting us in, and watched us die of old age."

"I finally felt guilty and invited the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity to help us enter the gate of immortality."

"But it also prevents us from further worshipping and achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven!"

"Master, Master, I know Master!"

"Bah! Master loves them so much, how could these two little bastards understand our difficulties!"

The Taoists were talking to each other in a crazy manner.

From the way he exploded at this point, it can be seen that this resentment has been accumulating for a long time.

Chen Xi listened silently to the Taoists' chattering, and he understood something in his mind.

Although we don’t know what exactly happened at the time, we can see from the information revealed by these crazy Taoists.

The gentle breeze and bright moon seemed not as bad as he imagined...

That’s right, the words of the crazy Taoists actually whitewashed the clear breeze and bright moon.

After all, according to what they said, the clear wind and bright moon prevented them from worshipping the three star statues because they did not want them to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.

Those who understand will understand the consequences of attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven.

From this we can see Qingfeng Mingyue's original good intentions.

Although I don’t know how it is now, but I once had the clear breeze and bright moon, which can be regarded as a complete enlightenment.

Just as Chen Xi was speculating about this, the old Taoist priest showed impatience and greed in his eyes.

It casually broke off three dead branches and handed them to Chen Xi.

"The monk's doubts have been resolved. Let's burn incense together and worship the three gods of happiness, wealth and longevity..."

The Taoists' eyes were fixed on Chen Xi.

There was undisguised anticipation on their faces, and they all looked eager to make a move.

Anyone looking at this situation would know that there is something wrong!

However, Chen Xi was not in a hurry. He took the dead branch and asked another question.

"Master, I just saw a few bloody babies in the temple. They seemed to have had a conflict with you."

"I don't know why this is happening."

When the old Taoist saw Chen Xi, he asked him questions and lost his patience.

"Those blood babies were created by Qingfeng Mingyue, and they are called infant ginseng fruits."

"Before it is formed, it looks like a placenta, so it is called the placenta fruit."

"The baby ginseng fruit loves prey the most, and it can increase lifespan!"

"We prayed for good fortune, wealth and longevity, and longevity peaches grew in our brains, so naturally we were targeted by the blood babies."

"As for the rest, we will know it naturally after the monk burns incense!"

"Master, please burn incense!"

The old Taoist priest couldn't wait to urge on, and his responses became much more perfunctory.

Chen Xi had just seen it with his own eyes, they sacrificed their own kind and scrambled for the immortal meat.

Then he naturally understood why these crazy Taoists were so persistent in making him worship the gods.

"Ah……"

Chen Xi raised his head with interest and looked at the statue.

The statue is quite strange and makes people feel very awkward.

The crazy Taoists around had expectant looks on their faces and drooling at their mouths.

Seeing this, Chen Xi wanted to play with them for a while, wanting to see how this group of little demons, or even a piece of broken stone that was randomly put together, could defeat him.

So, without any taboos, he picked up the three incense sticks and bowed to the statue!
For a moment, the crazy Taoists were ecstatic.

However, this situation did not last long.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a strange sound, the pupils of the crazy Taoists, Chen Xi, and the black-hearted old lady all shrank suddenly.

Before Chen Xi finished his bow, cracks appeared on the statue of the three gods of fortune, wealth and longevity on the altar.

Then, perhaps because there were too many cracks on its lower body, the statue actually fell forward.

As luck would have it, Chen Xi, who was facing the statue, suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

This statue looks like... worshipping Him?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the strange and mysterious statue shattered into pieces with a "bang".

In an instant, the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

The group of crazy Taoists fell into deathly silence at this moment.

But soon, they reacted, became confused, and looked terrified and at a loss.

"How, how is this possible! The statue of Fu Lu Shou is actually broken?"

"What's going on? Why did the statue break into pieces when the monk bowed?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"It's over, it's over..."

The old Taoist priest was the first to think of something, drew out his magic sword and glared at Chen Xi.

"You baldy thief! What tricks did you use to destroy our statue?"

"This is our life and property. Without the statue, how can we live forever?"

But what it doesn't know is...

At this moment, Chen Xi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was also a little puzzled.

He hadn't done anything yet, he just bowed casually, so why did the statue break?

Could it be just a coincidence that the statue couldn't bear the weight at this very moment?

Chen Xi was puzzled, and the Taoists around him looked unhappy and surrounded him.

They held magic swords, chanted spells, and had distorted expressions, as if they wanted to eat Chen Xi alive!
When the black-hearted old lady saw this, her originally dormant mind became active again.

If these Taoists could make this monk embarrassed, maybe they could take the opportunity to escape...

"How to achieve immortality?"

"It's very simple. I will send you to heaven, right?"

"What a pity...Originally, I hadn't planned to take action so quickly this time."

Chen Xi calmed his mind and nodded slightly.

The nine-ring staff slammed to the ground, and the nine rings rang together, creating invisible ripples.

The hall was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Damn you monk! If you fight us here, you're courting death!"

"Good fortune shines brightly, and good luck and misfortune are avoided!"

"Enter the Luxing Gate, and your merits will last forever!"

"May the star of longevity shine forever!"

A group of Taoist priests with white hair and high foreheads chanted incantations frantically.

In an instant, the sun and moon lost their light, and the stars shone brightly.

Chen Xi felt something and looked up.

Then I saw the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou in the sky, shining brightly.

The light of the stars penetrates through numerous obstacles and descends here.

A mysterious aura gradually grew and slowly emerged...

When this aura appeared, all the creatures in the field felt a chill down their spines and their hair stood on end.

this moment!
Three vague, blurry and unclear figures seemed to appear in the eyes of the monsters!

"Fu Lu Shou?"
