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

Chapter 179 I have a sword named Qingfeng (6k!)
Qingfeng was confused and puzzled, and couldn't understand why the "fruit" produced by his own ginseng fruit tree was so obedient to Chen Xi.

And just when he was stunned...

"Aren't you going to help your fellow disciples?"

Chen Xi suddenly spoke up.

Qingfeng came to his senses upon hearing this and quickly looked towards the chaotic scene.

At this moment, Chen Xi drove away the ginseng spirit and the infant ginseng fruit with just one word.

But those demons that have become puppets and are parasitic on the roots are not affected at all.

"Thank you for your help, holy monk. Clearing out the demons is our first priority..."

Qingfeng summoned a flying sword, and the sword light flickered.

Although these demons have become puppets and have become immortal, they are still just small monsters after all.

For a being like Qingfeng, no matter how many demons there are, it will be of no use.

The sword energy is like the sea, with each wave higher than the last.

In an instant, the demons fell down in large numbers like wheat in autumn harvest.

Chen Xi thought of Qingfeng, who might be able to help him deal with the ginseng fruit tree, so he also lent a hand.

He blew gently, causing a huge fire to burn the demons that had luckily escaped into ashes.

Just less than a stick of incense.

In the chaotic scene, only a group of Taoists who still had some sanity were left.

Seeing that the situation was looking good and the road leading to the ginseng fruit tree was about to be opened...

An extremely strong and very familiar demonic aura suddenly enveloped the entire place.

For a moment, Qingfeng and Chen Xi were both stunned.

The next moment, a figure covered with roots and surrounded by flying swords emerged from the soil.

And this figure is none other than the resurrected 'Ming Yue'!
When Qingfeng saw the familiar face, his pupils shrank sharply and his face was full of disbelief.

At the same time, Chen Xi was also a little unbelievable.

When he killed Mingyue before, he did not hold back at all.

Make sure the dead can’t die anymore, even the corpse...

However, unexpectedly, Mingyue was still alive!
Could it be that this ginseng fruit tree is really so evil that it can even bring demons whose bodies have been mutilated to pieces back to life?
But soon, Chen Xi, who had a very keen observation ability, noticed something was wrong.

The bright moon at the moment is obviously irrational, and even seems to have become a puppet like those demons with roots.

This made Chen Xi frown.

As for the breeze, since it is closely related to the bright moon, it would be disturbed if it was concerned about it.

In this case, it has no intention of distinguishing true from false.

"Moon!"

Qingfeng looked at Mingyue and couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, Mingyue's appearance has turned into that of a real demon.
There was no trace of the Taoist charm or the immortal aura, only a green face with fangs and an evil aura.

Roots emerged from the eye sockets of the bright moon.

Inside its brain, there is a blood-red baby ginseng fruit.

A steady stream of red light, accompanied by the decisive agitation of the infant ginseng, flowed throughout its body, making its aura particularly strong.

Mingyue did not respond to Qingfeng's call and just kept reciting.

"Wind Control!"

Mingyue stretched out her hand and pointed, and the Wind Controlling Technique among the 72 Earthly Fiends was mobilized.

The violent gale raged everywhere, turning into a sharp blade that swept across the earth.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and sand and rocks flew.

Such power is already several times stronger than Mingyue when she was alive!
Seeing the strong wind coming, Qingfeng's face changed continuously and he was forced to raise his magic sword.

Junior Sister Mingyue’s voice, appearance and smile are now entangled by the roots and can no longer be seen clearly.

"Junior sister..."

"If you hadn't helped me take away most of the demonic obstacles, I might have been the first to die."

"It has been thousands of years. Junior Sister Mingyue, please fight me again..."

All the past events resurfaced in Qingfeng's eyes, and sadness was evident in his expression.

The sword light was heavy and crossed the sky.

Seeing this, Chen Xi shook his head and sighed.

No wonder Qingfeng's condition seemed much better than Mingyue's before.

No wonder Qingfeng’s condition plummeted after Mingyue’s death.

It turns out that there is such a connection between these two brothers and sisters.

From this perspective, He is truly... extremely evil.

The strong wind came and raged wildly, and the fight with the sword was inseparable.

"Ugh……"

Chen Xi sighed. He didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two, but time was running out and the ginseng fruit tree was still waiting for them to push it.

Now that the ginseng fruit tree has shown such a strange phenomenon, it might be brewing something.

What's more, strictly speaking, the current incident was caused by Him.

It would be unreasonable not to help at this time.

Chen Xi slammed the nine-ring staff in his hand to the ground, and great power spread out.

Break all the laws!
In an instant, the strong wind broke.

"go with!"

When Qingfeng saw that the strong wind was broken, he pointed casually.

A trace of sword energy turned into a brilliant light, swept through numerous obstacles, and attacked the bright moon!

Mingyue seemed to sense the danger and let out a roar, while the magic gestures in his hands changed continuously.

In an instant, the situation changed!

Thick dark clouds covered the area and torrential rain poured down.

"Pray for rain, climb the ladder, and do it vigorously!"

The numb and stiff sound of Mingyue continued to ring.

Amid the heavy rain, a large number of root monsters came to life.

The branches twisted and grew, turning into giant roots that were intertwined and tangled.

As soon as the root giant appeared, he fought with Qingfeng and Chen Xi.

Wherever the Qingfeng sword passed, a large number of roots were cut off.

Chen Xi took the opportunity to throw out the nine-ring staff.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the intimidating-looking root giant collapsed directly.

Mingyue's trick was broken, her breath stagnated, and she looked miserable.

Without even thinking about it, it wanted to rely on its roots again and perform some disgusting tricks.

However, at this moment, a flash of sword light came quietly.

"Whoosh!"

The flying sword pierced into Mingyue's forehead, hitting the 'ginseng fruit' right there.

The 'Ginseng Fruit' groaned in pain, twitched continuously, and soon died.

When it died, the bright moon quickly dried up and withered, its roots disappeared, revealing its true appearance.

The magic collapsed and the heavy rain gradually stopped.

The raindrops on Qingfeng's face slowly slid down, dripping.

He was in a trance for a moment, but quickly came to his senses, looked at Chen Xi, and nodded slightly.

"Holy monk, I am not good at fire magic, please forgive me..."

Chen Xi did not refuse. He took out the colorful glass cup and blew it gently.

The glazed flame burned, and Mingyue's body was wrapped in the light and quickly dissipated.

A group of Taoist priests, who were covered in wounds and missing limbs, did not bother to heal their wounds but supported each other as they walked over.

They kept chanting the mantra of rebirth to see off Junior Sister Mingyue.

After finishing reciting the Rebirth Mantra, Qingfeng's expression relaxed a little and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He seemed to have finally completed his farewell and let go of a certain burden.

Qingfeng bowed to his fellow disciples, holding his sword across his back.

"My fellow brothers, it is not easy to knock down the ginseng fruit tree. It has already become a dangerous place."

"However, please wait here..."

"Qingfeng will definitely put an end to the evil that has plagued Wuzhuang Temple for thousands of years."

The Taoists, who had long since lost the strength to fight, looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

They bowed and spoke at the same time.

"Brother Qingfeng, and this senior monk, please be careful."

"We are dying, so we will just linger here and wait for you two to return victoriously..."

Qingfeng and Chen Xi looked at each other and nodded.

They did not hesitate, but left quietly.

The disciples of Wuzhuang Temple watched Chen Xi and Qingfeng go away, and a look of relief appeared on their faces.

Most of them had reached their limit at this time, and turned into a piece of dead wood, no longer moving.

……

Go deeper into the back garden and get closer to the ginseng fruit tree.

There are more and more ginseng essences and 'ginseng fruits' around.

Because of Chen Xi, these guys did not attack them. Instead, they waved their hands and lined up to greet them.

The blood babies around seemed extremely excited, waving their little hands as if to welcome Chen Xi in.

As he went deeper, the human skin in Chen Xi's arms became more and more active, and even began to move on its own.

"It seems that the thing that attracts human parchment is closely related to the ginseng fruit tree..."

Chen Xi walked around the twisted tree roots while thinking about something.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene before their eyes suddenly became clear.

In the center of the back garden, there is a towering tree, so high that it is out of reach!

The green branches are fragrant and the green leaves are gloomy.

The leaves are like banana trees, the branches are thick, and countless roots spread in all directions.

The towering tree is covered with millions of round, plump, brightly colored scarlet fruits.

The fruits are shaped like babies and each one has a smile on its face.

Some fruits are not yet ripe, they just look like placentas and have not yet grown to maturity.

But some of the fruits seem to have grown into adults.

Each one is lifelike, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin.

On their faces, there are innocent smiles like those of babies.

These "ginseng fruits" have their hands clasped together and their heads are shining, just like a group of little monks, and there seems to be a faint sound of chanting coming from their mouths.

The branches and fruit stalks connect their abdomen to the ginseng fruit tree, like an umbilical cord.

The ginseng fruit tree seemed to sense that Chen Xi and Qing Feng were coming with ill intentions.

It shook gently, and all the ginseng fruits on the tree woke up.

They opened their arms towards Chen Xi, babbling and calling out.

"Daddy...Daddy..."

When Qingfeng heard this, his expression became extremely strange.

It was clearly a child born from his own ginseng fruit tree, but he recognized Chen Xi as his father.

This feeling is so strange.

Not to mention, these 'ginseng fruits' on the tree really look somewhat similar to Chen Xi.

"This... is the ginseng fruit?"

Chen Xi's face was gloomy and he didn't understand why.

These 'ginseng fruits' that looked similar to him made Chen Xi feel disgusted for no reason.

He doesn't believe that there can be so many coincidences in the world.

There must be something fishy about this!
"These are not ginseng fruits. The real ginseng fruits in the past did not look like this..."

"A real ginseng fruit should be shaped like a baby less than three days old, with all four limbs, five senses, nine orifices, and full of fairy spirit."

Qingfeng also showed disgust on his face. These seemingly real 'ginseng fruits' made him feel uncomfortable.

As the two were talking, the shaking of the ginseng fruit tree became more violent, and the shouts of "ginseng fruit" became louder and louder.

Qingfeng immediately raised the magic sword in his hand. Chen Xi set his eyes on the ginseng fruit tree, not paying attention to the hanging fruits.

With his telepathic communication, Chen Xi could clearly feel the malice and greed that the ginseng fruit tree exuded towards him.

It is obvious that the ginseng fruit tree is quite intelligent, otherwise his telepathy would not be effective.

Chen Xi was thinking silently in his heart, what exactly did the ginseng fruit tree covet from him?

Perhaps because of the long-term loneliness, the ginseng fruit tree finally couldn't hold back, its emotions changed, and the calling stopped.

The 'ginseng fruits' all spoke at the same time, but their voices were no longer as clear as those of a child. Instead, they were a little hoarse and charming, as if they were trying hard to imitate something.

"Come, come, become one with me, become one with me..."

"The innate supreme immortal fetus will be formed..."

"Don't let the children wait any longer..."

"You will enjoy eternal happiness and a lifespan equal to the heavens, starting today."

This pretentious tone gave Qingfeng, who was standing next to him, goose bumps all over his body and made him feel extremely disgusted and nauseous.

However, just this alone made Chen Xi's eyes go blank, as if he had lost his soul, and he slowly walked towards the ginseng fruit tree.

Qingfeng was shocked when he saw this.

What's happening here?
Could it be that the holy monk had unknowingly fallen into the trap of the ginseng fruit tree?

Without even thinking about it, he wanted to step forward and stop Chen Xi.

However, just as Qingfeng was about to take action, he found that his legs had been tightly tied up by the tree roots without him knowing when.

The flying sword emitted sword light, breaking the tree roots.

however……

It only took a moment or two for Chen Xi to reach the ginseng fruit tree.

The ginseng fruit tree was extremely excited, drooling and trembling.

The treetops seem to be slowly opening...

The human skin paper in Chen Xi's arms seemed to sense something and its color became brighter and brighter.

Roots kept spreading and wriggling from the ground.

In a moment, dense roots reached the ground under Chen Xi's feet.

next moment!
Dense roots suddenly rose from the ground and wrapped around Chen Xi's body.

The roots of the fruit tree suddenly stabbed out, pointing directly at Chen Xi...

suddenly!

Chen Xi raised his head, and He... moved!
The so-called loss of consciousness and the so-called being hit all disappeared in an instant.

The golden and heavy hammer was suddenly thrown out and smashed hard on the ginseng fruit tree.

"Boom——"

Just like a sudden sound of thunder, the trunk of the ginseng fruit tree was instantly destroyed.

Each of the 'ginseng fruits' wailed in pain and cried.

Just by listening to the sound, if you didn't know, you would probably think that Chen Xi was bullying a group of children.

Each ginseng fruit let out a howl of pain and cried loudly.

One hit worked!
The effect of the golden hammer far exceeded Chen Xi and Qingfeng's imagination.

Chen Xi could feel that this golden hammer made of monkey hair was far from simple.

Without even a second thought, he wanted to swing the golden hammer, pursue the victory, and give the ginseng fruit tree another hard blow!
However, the ginseng fruit tree, which had suffered a great loss, reacted in time.

"what--"

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Accompanied by a shrill scream, roots as surging as waves rose from the ground and directly pulled Chen Xi away.

The momentum was so strong that it forced Chen Xi to smash the rocks.

Chen Xi embedded the nine-ring staff into the ground and plowed out a furrow, only then was he able to stabilize his body.

Countless roots were entwined there, and with anger they seemed to want to strangle Chen Xi and Qing Feng together.

Qingfeng stepped forward to cover, and the sword light chopped a large number of roots into powder.

"So brave..."

Chen Xi wiped the blood from his mouth and spoke in a deep voice.

Just one strike is enough to injure Him now!
Obviously, the ginseng fruit tree is no ordinary one.

Chen Xi was so angry that red flames shot up into the sky.

The red lotus of karmic fire bloomed, spun around, and headed towards the ocean of roots.

"I have good intentions..."

"Sharing the happiness with you..."

"Why do you treat me like this!"

"I don't know what's good for me, I don't know what's good for me!"

"Live as long as heaven and earth, supreme immortal fetus, infinite merits!"

The ginseng fruit tree expressed its dissatisfaction through the mouth of the 'ginseng fruit', and its words were inexplicable and difficult to understand.

The 'Ginseng Fruits' that were originally looking at Chen Xi with great affection now all had anger in their eyes.

"Dad! Dad! Dad..."

The ginseng fruit tree shook violently, and ripe ginseng fruits fell to the ground one by one.

They called "Daddy" with anger in their eyes, as if they were questioning Chen Xi why he hurt them.

These "ginseng fruits", when they fell to the ground, turned into big, fat ginseng dolls wearing bellybands with the word "Fu" on them.

Although it looks quite funny, the sense of oppression is not weak at all.

The tender and cute appearance forms a sharp contrast with the ferocious and violent temperament.

The ginseng doll can create a strong wind by just running, and can move mountains and hills by waving its hands and feet.

Karmic fire surged around Chen Xi, and ordinary demons would die if they touched it.

However, these ginseng dolls were not afraid at all.

They rushed over with a humming sound, and were not affected by the karma fire at all.

The fire of karma is supposed to burn endlessly, burning the heart and lungs, and specifically punishing those who have committed serious sins.

However, these ginseng dolls had no sin at all. Not only were they not affected, but the karma fire was mysteriously extinguished when touched by them.

When Chen Xi saw this, his eyes narrowed.

This was the first time He had seen someone who could completely ignore the existence of karma fire.

Seeing the ginseng doll was about to rush to Chen Xi.

A wisp of breeze blows by at the right time.

The rampant ginseng doll suddenly screamed in pain.

The breeze cut them so hard that they were covered with wounds and had to stop.

Chen Xi seized the opportunity and the Buddha head on his neck spoke.

"The ignorant child should be punished with a stick..."

The explanation makes sense!
An invisible stick appeared and beat a group of ginseng dolls, causing their bodies to become dented and roll on the ground.

The ginseng fruit tree saw the ginseng baby being deflated, but it was not panicked at all.

Countless roots were raised high and continuously pierced into the air.

Such an inexplicable scene made Chen Xi and Qingfeng feel a chill in their hearts.

Although they didn't know what the ginseng fruit tree was doing, it did not prevent them from destroying its plan.

Chen Xi stretched out his hand and flesh and blood grew.

A twelve-layer lotus pedestal of flesh and blood swells in the wind.

It spun around and smashed towards the ginseng fruit tree.

Unexpectedly, when it was halfway through its flight, a ginseng doll sacrificed itself to collide with it, smashing the flesh and blood lotus platform into pieces.

The ginseng doll made a "ha" sound from its mouth, as if it was imitating adults' martial arts practice.

At the same time, as the roots of the ginseng fruit tree continued to swell, it seemed that there was some invisible thing around it that was gradually being sucked away by it.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the field became depressing.

Great horror!
Within a radius of several miles, the world is changing!
Chen Xi's expression changed slightly. He was very familiar with this kind of strange scene.

Generally, only powerful demons will have their own unique terrifying visions.

Such strange phenomena often bring about terrifying effects, like a domain.

Such as the blood sea of ​​the broken Buddha, the corpse mountain of the Dragon King, the decay of Marichi Buddha Mother, etc.

Although Chen Xi is now equivalent to a great demon, he does not have a vision of his own.

From this we can see how terrifying the big demon with strange visions is.

In an instant, Chen Xi and Qingfeng's expressions changed drastically!
Chen Xi was like a boiled bun, with wrinkled skin and white smoke rising.

His skin became loose and wrinkled, his body gradually became hunched, his strength declined, and his thinking became dull.

For a moment, even the use of supernatural powers could not be done as freely as usual.

Chen Xi seemed to have Alzheimer's disease and even forgot why he was here. It took him a long time to think about it before he reacted.

As for Qingfeng, it is the opposite of Chen Xi.

His body shrank rapidly, his hands and feet became weak, and his thinking became childish, as if he was about to return to being a child.

"I am..."

Qingfeng was in a trance, and the long sword, which was taller than him, fell to the ground.

He looked at the sword and saw clearly what he looked like now.

He looks about five or six years old, with a round little face and a pretty face.

Qingfeng looked at himself in this state, and all kinds of memories from his childhood came to his mind.

……

The sound of chanting swept past my ears, followed by the laughter of the brothers and sisters, and Mingyue's smiling face appeared...

"Hey, idiot, why are you only concerned with practicing sword skills and not learning the way to immortality?"

"How about we have a duel?"

The girl’s smile seemed to be still in front of my eyes, and the experience of meeting and competing with each other seemed to be just yesterday.

"Junior brother, your sword is short of some Gengjin for refining. I happen to have some left, so I'll give it to you."

A piece of Geng gold was stuffed into their arms, and several brothers pretended to walk away in a carefree manner, but they could not hide their distressed expressions.

"What should we do? If the master comes to his senses and investigates after we eat the ginseng fruit, we will definitely be severely punished."

"What are you afraid of? At most we can bear the consequences together. As long as we are not kicked out... that's all."

The two Taoist boys stayed in the side hall, whispering to each other, regretting their greed and fearing the punishment from their master.

But the master, who was mysterious, serious, and usually stern, just sighed helplessly.

After hitting their hands a few times, neither too hard nor too light, he touched their heads and punished them by making them copy Buddhist scriptures.

"This is the fate..."

"This mistake is not caused by you."

"I just ate the ginseng fruit..."

"I'm afraid the suffering you will endure in the future will only increase, not decrease..."

"The wind is gentle and the moon is bright. This is the will of heaven. Life and death depend on each other. We share good fortune and misfortune. When one dies, the other will die."

"Oh, I hope you can live in peace..."

The master's earnest teachings and the helpless sigh appeared before Qingfeng's eyes, making him suddenly wake up.

Master...

Did you foresee the current situation back then?
When one dies, the other will die...

Qingfeng's thoughts had not yet come to his senses, but the sword in his hand had already been swung out.

If we talk about who in the entire Wuzhuang Temple has the best chance of knocking down the ginseng fruit tree, apart from the immortal Zhenyuan.

I guess apart from Qingfeng, who doesn't want to learn the way to immortality but instead wants to focus on learning swordsmanship, there is no one else.

He has always been like this...

Therefore, Mingyue, who is more proficient in Taoism, would take the initiative to bear the evil nature for him so that he could swing the sword freely.

Otherwise, he should have been the one who fell into the devil, lost his mind, went crazy, and died at the hands of Chen Xi.

"I have a sword named Qingfeng..."

The sound of the breeze is leisurely and gentle.

A sword comes out, and a breeze rises...

This time, there was no sword light, no sword energy...

The inexplicable things flowing in the void were cut off by a sword.

The branches and roots of the ginseng fruit tree fell off one after another, revealing neat and uniform cuts...
