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

Chapter 174: Words Come True, Fishing for the Moon in the Water
Chen Xi murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on the three blurry figures in the sky.

At the same time, the black-hearted old lady who was pinched in his hand also felt this mysterious breath.

At this moment, the black-hearted old lady, who had just felt like escaping, felt her heart turn cold again.

What on earth did this group of crazy Taoists invite?
Why did she feel as if she was facing a god?

As for those crazy Taoists, their faces were filled with satisfaction at this moment.

Although we don’t know what this crazy monk did to the statue, it doesn’t matter. After today, it will be the monk’s death anniversary!
Chen Xi's face was solemn, and it was the first time he showed a serious expression in Wuzhuang Temple.

Strands of fairy belts sway in the wind.

He...smelt the taste of immortals.

And at this moment, the embroidered yellow silk that had been placed in His arms actually trembled.

"Wow—"

The three figures that were gradually becoming clearer quickly became blurred and dim.

The three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou that were twinkling in the sky were soon covered by dark clouds.

All in all, it took less than three breaths of time!
The momentum was astonishing, the pomp was grand, and the three figures who were invited with so much difficulty left in such a hurry?

The Taoists, who were originally full of pride, almost popped their eyes out of their sockets when they saw the absurd scene before them.

They even suspected at one point that the monk in front of them had used some mysterious trick to deceive them.

"How is this possible? No, no, no, no..."

"Evil monk! Evil monk! Are the three gods of fortune, wealth and longevity afraid?"

"Fake! They must be fake!"

The crazy Taoists had their faith shattered and were in a panic.

Some of them were too excited and even banged their heads against the ground, causing them to bleed and become a bloody mess, hoping to wake up from the "eye-catching trick".

The black-hearted old lady looked at this scene and also suspected that she had fallen into some kind of illusion.

It rubbed its eyes with its claws desperately, but to no avail, there was no change at all.

The three figures that looked like gods were actually scared away because of Chen Xi?

At this moment, an even more terrifying thought crept up the black-hearted old woman's back, making her extremely desperate.

Even those mysterious gods and immortals were terrified of this monk and were even scared away in one day.

So what exactly is this monk?
Do I really have a way out?

Chen Xi looked at the crazy Taoists who were screaming and collapsing, raised his eyebrows, and did not take them to heart.

They are just a bunch of crazy people anyway...

"Splendid yellow silk..."

Chen Xi took out the treasure from his arms, obviously noticing the unusual situation just now.

On the embroidered yellow silk, the figure with four heads and eight arms is much clearer than before.

It can already be seen that this being seems to be a woman...

Chen Xi looked at it a few more times, but couldn't figure out what it was.

It is obvious that the abnormalities of the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou and even the statues of the gods are definitely related to the embroidered yellow silk.

Chen Xi had a complicated expression. He didn't expect that even after his mother Lishan died, she could still help him.

The crazy Taoists had distorted faces, waved their swords and shouted.

"Don't let this evil monk go! Kill him! Kill him!"

"Cut him into pieces, who knows, we might be able to break this magic!"

The thoughts that had just surged into Chen Xi's mind were interrupted by the noisy noises of the Taoists.

He raised his head in annoyance and spoke.

"I say, if you start a war here without thinking, you will be bitten by snakes and insects!"

The explanation makes sense!
Chen Xi no longer played and fought with these little monsters.

His voice, like the sound of a huge bell, turned into an invisible commandment, pouring down.

"Crack!"

In a flash, the magic swords in the hands of the crazy Taoists broke into pieces.

Poisonous snakes, insects and ants came from nowhere, emerged from their five senses and nine orifices, and kept biting them.

For a moment, they screamed in agony and felt like dying!
"Words, words follow laws!"

The black-hearted old woman was quite knowledgeable. Seeing such great power, she immediately mistook it for the legendary power of making things come true with just her words!
It was terrified and trembling.

This is a great supernatural power!
If it had known that there was such a master in Wuzhuang Temple, it would not have dared to come to Wuzhuang Temple so ostentatiously even if it had ten times the courage.

Fortunately, it surrendered and confessed in time, thus avoiding physical pain.

"Spare your life! Spare your life!"

"Master! Great monk! Buddha! Let's talk!"

Under such torture, the crazy Taoists were no longer as crazy as before, and their eyes became much clearer.

They begged for mercy, showing none of the mentality that a Quanzhen Taoist from Wuzhuang Temple should have.

Seeing this, Chen Xi shook his head in disappointment.

"Kneel down..."

He spoke softly, his tone was inexplicable.

Those crazy Taoists couldn't help but kneel down on the ground.

In an instant, the bones on the knees were broken.

"Who can tell me where the wordless heavenly book passed down by the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is now in Wuzhuang Temple?"

Chen Xi glanced at the crazy Taoists and said, "The explanation makes sense!"
The crazy Taoists, who were in so much pain that they wished they were dying, all had fanaticism on their faces again, and they all rushed to speak.

"I, I know!"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Back then, the master threw the wordless heavenly book into the lake in the right courtyard."

"Master once said that since the wordless heavenly book exists in the world, it has its own reason."

"One day, a destined person will obtain the wordless heavenly book, achieve great things, and benefit the world."

"I have tried to salvage the Wordless Book, but have made no progress."

"Later I heard that the Wordless Book can only be seen on a full moon night..."

The Taoists looked fanatical, but their eyes were full of fear.

Obviously, they have no choice at this moment.

The black-hearted old lady shuddered at the sight of this scene.

It was silent, afraid that Chen Xi would notice it.

Chen Xi got the information he wanted, and blew it onto the colorful glass lamp in one breath.

These crazy Taoists are no longer the Quanzhen Taoists who existed in the temple when the Immortal Zhenyuan was still alive.

At this moment, they are all filled with greed and obsession, and it is time to be free...

The colorful glazed fire fell quietly.

Three breaths passed and everything turned to ashes.

All the crazy Taoists were burned to ashes, and only the breeze blew through the deserted main hall.

Chen Xi did not delay and carried the black-hearted old lady out of the main hall.

He looked at the sky, and as luck would have it, the moon was high in the sky, shining brightly, it was a full moon night!

"God helps me too..."

Chen Xi's eyes moved slightly. How could he let it go after such a long time?

The power of divine feet!
Lotus flowers bloomed with every step Chen Xi took, and his figure flickered.

After a cup of tea...

Chen Xi stepped into the right courtyard, his eyes shining with a glazed light.

Compared with the left courtyard where Qingfeng is located, the layout of the right courtyard is not much different.

There are also many buildings, countless in number.

There are also many of them, with roots growing in an intertwined manner, making it difficult to see them all at a glance.

A small lake landscape is located in the corner of the right courtyard.

Various small hills and strange rocks are dotted around, as well as a yellow bamboo forest.

A bright moon is reflected in the lake, shining brightly, and as the breeze blows across the lake, ripples appear slightly.

This situation and scene have a unique flavor.

Chen Xi walked slowly to the lakeside, and with his eyes shining with glassy light, he looked towards the lake.

In the center of the lake, there was indeed a scroll of book submerged in the water.

The book is blurry and can't be seen clearly.

At first glance, it looks ordinary.

Upon closer inspection, it is mysterious and unpredictable.

Chen Xi didn't expect that he would find the wordless book so smoothly.

Even the black-hearted old lady standing by was dumbfounded.

But soon, Chen Xi frowned.

"Weird..."

He muttered to himself and walked on the water, trying to retrieve the heavenly book.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch the wordless book.

"The methods of the ancestor of earthly immortals are indeed mysterious."

Chen Xi sighed and felt a headache because of this.

If it weren't for his clairvoyance, and if I had told him that the wordless heavenly book was indeed there, he would have thought it was a trick.

He thought about it over and over again, and used his divine power of preaching, divine power of walking, and divine hearing to try to fish out the wordless heavenly book, but to no avail.

He even tried diving into the lake himself to retrieve the wordless heavenly book, but it was of no use.

As soon as he enters the water, the wordless heavenly book will disappear completely.

This made Chen Xi quite discouraged.

"Did I miss something?"

"It seems that whether or not one's magical power is strong has no influence on whether or not one can obtain the Wordless Heavenly Book."

"Among the disciples of Zhenyuan Daxian, there are many who are good at using magic, but no one has taken out this wordless heavenly book. There must be some reason..."

Chen Xi murmured to himself, thinking hard but still could not come up with an answer.

So he simply turned around and asked the opinions of the 'folks' behind him.

"Everyone, you are knowledgeable, do you have any way to try to fish out this heavenly book from the water?"

A fisherman with a simple face squeezed out of the crowd to express his opinion.

"Perhaps we should build a large net and carefully screen the entire lake, so that we won't miss any of the heavenly books."

A Taoist with a goatee and a plaster on his face shook his head and spoke in a serious tone.

“Perhaps this heavenly book is not originally in the mundane world, but exists in the realm of nothingness.”

"It is necessary to practice special techniques to transform the virtual into the real before it can be taken out."

The crowd behind Chen Xi was surging, expressing their opinions, offering suggestions, and working together to obtain the wordless heavenly book.

However, after Chen Xi tried various methods such as casting nets, pumping water, and even moving the entire lake, none of them worked.

Until the end, Chen Xi even began to suspect that those crazy Taoists had deceived him at the last minute.

Or perhaps, Zhenyuan Daxian did not tell the truth to his disciples.

However, as the ancestor of earthly immortals, he should not tell such lies to deceive his disciples.

Is it possible that he is destined to have no chance to see this wordless heavenly book tonight?

"Alas, so many of us have put in so much effort, but we have not gained anything. This is even more ridiculous than the monkeys I raise."

A shirtless man in a straw hat scratched his head and spoke to himself, but was glared at by the figures around him.

Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, the shirtless man waved his hands and explained.

"Don't blame me, don't blame me..."

"I just remembered some past events and was inspired to write this."

"I used to be a monkey breeder and I raised a group of monkeys. They liked to hang upside down on tree branches every night to catch the moon in the water."

"I thought it was hilarious at the time. The moon was clearly in the sky. How could they catch anything by trying to fish for its reflection in the water?"

After hearing this, Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be thinking about something.

"It turns out to be fishing for the moon in the water!"

Chen Xi's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized!

Then He looked up at...the moon in the sky.
