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

Chapter 181: The Golden Monkey Rises His Thousand-pound Stick! (6k!)
"I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures..."

As soon as the ginseng fruit tree finished speaking, Golden Chanzi took up the conversation.

Chen Xi's expression became increasingly ugly, and he involuntarily took a step back.

But the golden cicada was getting closer and closer.

Chen Xi's ears were constantly filled with slanders of the Dharma and heresies that rejected the Buddhas.

All his means were suppressed, evil views entered his mind, and his spirit was shaken.

Every evil word destroys the peace.

One perverse logic after another incites anger and stupidity.

It seemed that Jin Chanzi wanted to convert Chen Xi here alive!
Chen Xi resisted hard, but to no avail.

The deepest memories in his heart were constantly revealed by Jin Chanzi and appeared before his eyes...

When he first arrived at the ruined temple, he felt fear, powerlessness, and hysteria when faced with the three-headed demon.

At the Longmen Banquet, they were completely powerless to resist the great demon. They were subjected to mountains of swords and seas of fire, golden winds and thundering sounds, and suffered a life-and-death struggle.

He survived by chance, but was tortured to insanity by the heads of the broken-precepts Buddha and the Dragon King.

He was swallowed by the Mother of Buddha in Gao Village and ascended to the fairyland, hanging between life and death!
On Mount Futu, he saw in his dream the ugliness of human nature and their endless anger, and finally the Zen master passed away.

Stone mother died tragically while boiling stones at Huangfeng Ridge.

Liusha River was tortured by the Curtain General and killed the toad with his own hands...

He was teased by his old mother in the opera garden and killed four girls.

The painful memories kept rolling and accumulating, and the scars were torn open, making Chen Xi unbearable.

Anyone else in this situation would have probably collapsed mentally long ago.

As for Chen Xi, it was entirely because of the Heart Sutra that he was able to keep his mind focused.

However, even so, his mind was already in danger...

"The only solution now is to let go of all obsessions and entanglements!"

"Only by taking the Heart Sutra one step further can we escape from this dangerous situation!"

At this moment, Chen Xi's own voice echoed in his heart, pointing out how he could break the impasse.

However, Chen Xi was very conflicted about this, and he... was unwilling to let it go.

Seeing this, another voice of his own sounded in Chen Xi's mind, weighing the pros and cons.

"Everything is just like this. If you don't let go, how can you gain!"

"Why do you and I have to endure all this suffering?"

"Along the way, countless people have died because of you and me."

"If you stop worrying about it, won't your mind be clearer and you won't suffer any more!"

"Everything you and I do is just to live a better life. What can't we do? What can't we do!"

"Although the obsessions of all living beings can help us, they can also capsize us. Only one's own practice is the most reliable!"

“Right now is the time for enlightenment!”

"Let go of everything, eliminate entanglements, eliminate attachments, and be pure and liberated!"

Chen Xi's words echoed in my mind at the right time. I constantly questioned myself, trying to wake myself up and let go of all the burdens.

In just a short moment, it seemed that thousands of thoughts passed through his mind.

The little ray of inspiration that represents Chen Xi's true heart seems extremely insignificant among the endless fallacies and heresies.

"Please give me a ride, so that I can have a complete and happy life."

"Children, as long as you are doing well, your mother will be at ease."

"Go, pilgrim, and fulfill your destiny."

"Master Buddha, you must be careful on your way here..."

"Master! We are here to help you!"

"Take care of yourself, both of you. I will be waiting for your triumphant return."

"One more sword, the last one!"

Chen Xi thought of the obsession of all living beings and the trust they had placed in Him.

Can you let it go? Can you really let it go?
In other words, if I let go of all these, am I still a human being?
Chen Xi used to have no other desires, but he tried his best to pay attention to everything around him.

Chen Xi is now deeply obsessed. He is burdened with more and more things, but he also seems to be giving up more and more.

In this evil and corrupt world, if you are not tactful, you will be easily destroyed; if you do not plan, you will easily fall into a dead end; if you are not indifferent, you will only create trouble.

He... No! It's him!
As he walked along, he seemed to be manipulated step by step, taking a path he was unwilling to take.

It is suppressed, shaped, and kneaded into a predetermined shape bit by bit.

I learned how to kill people without blinking, how to be cruel and ruthless, how to eat flesh and drink blood, but it seemed like I had forgotten something.

Yeah, I forgot something...

In the past, I seemed to be filled with righteous indignation at the actions of demons.

They will also feel sympathy for other people's plight and want to help.

But now, it seems that I have already discarded all these things that are not conducive to survival.

If it were the old me, I would definitely save the four girls at the opera theater instead of beating and killing them to get rid of them.

Qingfeng Mingyue would not let him die like this...

If these were the three poisons, I would have let them go long ago and achieved perfection in my merits.

"In that case, why not let go, accept who you are now, adapt to this turbid world, and live in peace and contentment from now on?"

"I won't let go. This is all I have..."

Chen Xi was like a child, stubbornly holding on to the object in his hand, tightly clenching it and unwilling to let go.

Even though he knew that there would be endless suffering and pain, he was unwilling to let go of his only remaining precious thing.

In Chen Xi's gradually blurred consciousness, his anger and infatuation were raging endlessly, and they were as incompatible as water and fire.

Only greed always leaves something empty...

Chen Xi was in a daze, but suddenly he thought of more things.

Greed, anger and ignorance are the three poisons, but does he, who practices the Heart Sutra, really need to avoid the three poisons like snakes and scorpions?

Can he really pick up again those things that he had put down and forgotten?

Chen Xi was like the former sand-digging ghost, scavenging his memories bit by bit, searching for those things that he had forgotten and given up.

What is greed, what is anger, what is ignorance?
Finally... Chen Xi found the answer!

From drinking the weak water, the obsession of taking all living beings along with you.

From the indignation for Shi Mu and the fury over the death of the Zen master.

From the greed in one's heart that is unwilling to let go of what is in one's hands, but hopes to find more answers, or even change the world.

Not willing to let go, but eager to pick up everything...that's greed!
Not wanting to become increasingly indifferent, and being angry about the fire in your heart... that is anger!
Not wanting to let go of something that has passed away… is foolishness!
As Chen Xi thought and the Heart Sutra circulated, the faint spiritual light quietly changed.

A little greed sprouted.

Craving for more precious things, longing for more things worth valuing.

Anger and delusion surround greed, causing karmic fire to swirl and weak water to swirl.

Greed, anger and ignorance, the three poisons are all there!

Chen Xi allowed his obsessions and memories to get entangled, causing him endless pain.

In this pain, clarity and confusion alternated, constantly tearing Chen Xi's spirit apart.

Only the Heart Sutra operates spontaneously, constantly blending with that bit of spiritual light, allowing it to be forged in the weak water of karma and become tenacious.

A touch of glass-colored light quietly grows.

In an instant, Jin Chanzi's fallacies and heresies, right and wrong, demonic intentions and Buddhist nature, suddenly collapsed!

The thousands of obsessions that were originally affected by the devil's will were stunned for a moment, and they all shook their heads and rubbed their eyes.

"Eh? What did we just do?"

"Hiss! Did I say something too harsh to the master?"

The three poisons are all present, the fire of karma follows, and the weak water takes refuge.

The knowledge in the mouth suddenly becomes clear as the Heart Sutra is practiced more diligently.

In an instant, Chen Xi regained consciousness.

Jin Chanzi stopped and threw out an extremely heavy Dharma wheel.

The Falun rotates and smashes down with a loud bang!
The clairvoyance is slightly activated...

Chen Xi's mind was clear and his lips were slightly open.

The three senses of eyes, ears and mouth are connected, and a glazed light flows throughout the body.

"Those who are worldly wise and clever, and who love to confuse the righteous Dharma with their evil views, the Dharma wheel shall be broken into pieces!"

As Chen Xi spoke, it seemed as if an invisible law had descended upon this place, turning into a real constraint, no longer an illusion.

The Dharma Wheel, which was an endless entanglement of the Buddha's and the devil's intentions, suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, cracks appeared and it collapsed in an instant!

Jin Chanzi's body suddenly stagnated, his face twitched, his roots wilted, and his breath dropped!

At this moment, Chen Xi's eloquence actually revealed some power of making things happen in Jin Chanzi's vision field!

Chen Xi swept away the frustration of being beaten up before, and moved his body.

The power of divine feet!
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Jin Chanzi, whose body had stopped moving due to the shattered Falun.

As Chen Xi spoke, he struck down with the Zen stick in his hand without hesitation.

The karmic fire and weak water are intertwined, destroying all kinds of strange visions!
"Those who are worldly wise, who blur right and wrong, and who confuse black and white, will be punished with a stick, and the wounds will be a hundred times more severe!"

The two minds of anger and ignorance work together to make the karmic fire and weak water bless the nine-ring staff.

Break all the laws!
Jin Chanzi turned his head slightly, trying to dodge.

However, Chen Xi's nine-ring staff was much faster than he had imagined!
Jin Chanzi was careless for a moment and was hit on the shoulder by the Nine-Ring Tin Staff!

His bones were broken, his tendons were torn, the roots under his skin were shattered, and half of his body was twisted and deformed.

But to Chen Xi's surprise...

Despite this attack, Jin Chanzi's body remained motionless!
Half of his body was broken into pieces, and it looked like a dark and sticky substance like three thousand weak waters, which kept wriggling and healing itself.

In this turbid world, endless turbid air, under the persuasion of worldly wisdom and eloquence, continuously pours in, encouraging heresies and promoting evil doctrines!

In this demon-ridden world, the golden cicada who can absorb the foul air is immortal!
In the remains of Jin Chanzi, the dark and sticky liquid transformed into countless small words describing the corruption of Buddhism and the rise of heresy and demonic doctrines.

These small characters kept moving, and the humming sound became louder and louder...

suddenly!

Small black characters splashed out!

Like tentacles, they clung to Chen Xi's body, causing him to decay and his magic power to dissipate!

Chen Xi's expression changed, and he was about to recite the mantra.

However, in the next moment, he was overwhelmed by the increasingly loud evil words.

"When the Dharma is about to perish, the Five Evils will turbid the world, and the devil will flourish."

"There will be demons who pretend to be monks and destroy the Buddhist path."

"Drinking alcohol and eating meat, killing for the sake of pleasure, without any compassion, and even hating and envying each other!"

The words of the evil scriptures chanted became louder and louder.

The glazed light that Chen Xi had cultivated with great difficulty gradually dimmed!

Jin Chanzi seemed to be proving with his actions that no matter how much Chen Xi achieved a breakthrough on the battlefield, he could not defeat the world's wisdom and intelligence.

All kinds of demons and monsters, the six desires and delusion obscure the eyes of heaven.

All kinds of right and wrong, chaos, slander and viciousness have blinded the ears of heaven.

It is said that the power of the Dharma has temporarily withered...

When heresies are prevalent and people in the world are ignorant, preaching with supernatural powers cannot spread throughout the three realms!

And Jin Chanzi, with his heretical teachings and false views, confuses right and wrong, disturbs the mind, and promotes his own evil thoughts, which is also a wonderful use of the Dharma!
For those who have difficulty in gaining worldly wisdom and eloquence, this is the best path, rather than the correct one!

For a moment, Chen Xi’s divine eyes were dim, his divine ears could not hear, and his teachings were difficult to use.

Jin Chanzi moved his body, showing his divine power and the ability to change freely, turning into a black wind. The dark wind was as sharp as a steel knife, tearing flesh and scraping bones, and waves of magic sound continued to flow into the flesh and blood along with the wind, wearing away Chen Xi's mind and magic power!

not enough! Still not enough!
Chen Xi clenched his teeth, he had never felt so desperate and powerless.

Even if he awakens himself, even if his Heart Sutra is improved, his Taoism soars, even if his greed, anger, and ignorance are recovered, and his oral consciousness is complete... it is still not enough!
He held the Zen staff tightly. Although his hundred-foot-long body was protected by a brocade cassock, part of it was still exposed, and the black wind blew off large pieces of flesh and blood, filthying his body.

Jin Chanzi's ability is truly powerful, even stronger than that of the Curtain-Pulling General!

Whether it was the use of supernatural powers or the strange field of vision, he was restrained.

When faced with someone who is stronger than you in every way, what should you do to fight for a chance of survival and defeat him?

Chen Xi was filled with anxiety, as if a black wind was scraping his bones and melting his flesh and blood.

If he continues like this, within less than an incense stick of time, Chen Xi will be completely reduced to a puddle of mud!
But there is always a way out...

Maybe it was the cicada that got too close.

The human skin paper became more and more agitated, and suddenly emitted a faint glassy glow.

In the brilliance, there are reflections of numerous colors and patterns, reflecting the appearances and voices of the pilgrims.

Even among these vague people seeking scriptures, Chen Xi saw...

He was attacked by three demons who destroyed the temple and cooked and ate him.

He was put on the table by a group of great demons at the Longmen Banquet.

He was wearing a groom's suit and a big red flower on his chest as he got married in Gao Laozhuang.

He was slapped to death by Tiger Vanguard in Huangfeng Ridge.

When Chen Xi saw this scene, the fog of human skin paper in his mind seemed to be dispelled a little.

Somewhere in the dark, he suddenly understood.

The Chen Xi in the human skin paper is neither a simulation nor a prophecy.

In fact, those Chen Xi were all people who died on their journey to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures.

And those people who went on a quest for scriptures were also him!

The cycle of reincarnation never ends, and all living beings are sinking...

Chen Xi wanted to think about it carefully, but he felt a palpitation for no reason. He didn't dare to think about it anymore and had to suppress the thought for the time being.

The light of the human skin paper glass flowed, isolating the black wind transformed by Jin Chanzi from outside.

While Chen Xi was under the glazed light, all his magical powers were restored!
This situation was very similar to a pure land that was forcibly opened up in Jin Chanzi's vision realm.

Chen Xi was in the pure land of lapis lazuli, and he felt light all over, his mind was calm, and his thinking was active.

This is the human skin paper. It is the first time that it has taken the initiative to show its magical powers and help Chen Xi.

At this moment, he felt something in his heart.

This is his last chance. If he fails to turn the tables, he will probably die!

The glazed light flickered, and after just two or three breaths, it dimmed a lot.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xi clenched his staff tightly and the nine rings rang at the same time.

The mantra he chanted sounded like thunder!
"open!"

Invisible ripples spread out, breaking the black wind that had slowed down its momentum!

The black wind swirled, scattered, and then gathered into clouds.

A ferocious dragon with scales and claws spread out emerged from the clouds and pounced down in an instant.

The dragon bared its fangs and claws and swept past fiercely.

Chen Xi arrived with a Zen staff in his hand, but the dragon bit his arm, breaking it and separating his flesh and bones.

Chen Xi had eight arms, so he was naturally not afraid of damaging one arm.

Although he was injured, there was a smile on his face.

Chen Xi's eyes flashed with glazed light, he listened carefully with his heavenly ears, and did not dodge or evade, just to seize the opportunity at this moment!
He slightly raised one of his arms, and the colorful glass lamp tilted, and seven-colored flames burst out, burning the obsessions of all living beings, purifying and sacred.

At the same time, inky black fire spewed out of his mouth, burning his sins!
If the two flames were used separately, I'm afraid Jin Chanzi would be able to resolve them safely.

However, if at this moment, they were forcibly mixed and turned into a world-destroying black fire that could burn the Mother of Mount Li to death, the effect would be completely different.

Seeing this, the black dragon twisted its body and was about to fly high up.

The Falun beside him appeared in circles, demonstrating divine power and reversing various laws in an attempt to block the attack.

However, it's too late!

"what--"

The ginseng fruit tree seemed to sense a fatal threat, and let out a shrill scream through the dragon's mouth, which was heartbreaking and inhumane!
The world-destroying black fire explodes at close range!

In an instant, everything in the world lost its color.

The unimaginable sea of ​​fire is surging!

Wanshou Mountain collapsed and broke apart layer by layer.

When the smoke and dust cleared and the aftermath of the explosion disappeared, the dragon that Jin Chanzi transformed into had its scales shattered, its horns broken and its claws severed, and most of its body covered in blood!
The circles of Dharma wheels beside the dragon were burned to ashes.

The entangled roots of the golden cicada withered and turned into ashes under the burning of the black fire.

However, although this move was extremely effective and did hurt Jin Chanzi, the price Chen Xi paid was also not small.

The world-destroying black fire exploded at close range, carbonizing the skin and flesh on his upper body, with large pieces of bright red flesh peeling off and white bones visible.

The colorful glass lamp and the karmic fire in the body, one of them dimmed, and the other was subdued, making it difficult to fight again.

From Jin Chanzi's mouth, the shrill screams of the ginseng fruit tree slowly died out and turned into incomprehensible mumbling.

"I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and I am going to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures."

Between heaven and earth, endless foul air keeps pouring in!

Jin Chanzi inhaled the turbid air and his injuries recovered quickly.

Although the ginseng fruit tree suffered severe damage from the world-destroying black fire,... the golden cicada was not!
To Jin Chanzi, the ginseng fruit tree is actually a burden.

At this moment, His aura was even stronger than before, but also more dull and wooden.

When Chen Xi saw Jin Chanzi recover in an instant, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Before he could react, Jin Chanzi's body split into countless tiny dust insects that were invisible to the naked eye and swam in the air.

With his clairvoyance, Chen Xi could naturally distinguish these small insects.

However, in Jin Chanzi's vision field, these small insects can move around at will, gather and disperse, and are almost undetectable!
But in a trance, Chen Xi felt a pain on his body, and dozens of tiny holes appeared.

His pupils shrank slightly, and he did not dare to hesitate. He pulled out the embroidered yellow silk from his waist and shook it violently.

The embroidered yellow silk was thrown out and it swelled in the wind, blurring the inside and outside, separating heaven and earth, and dividing the square and the circle.

On the embroidered yellow silk, the woman with four heads and eight arms became clearer and clearer.

There was some change in the gloomy sky.

The stars seemed to be attracted, and rays of starlight fell.

Under the shining stars, thousands and thousands of devil insects had nowhere to hide and were completely covered. Only a small handful escaped and transformed again.

When Chen Xi saw the embroidered yellow silk, he was so surprised that it was so stunning.

Without even thinking twice, he wanted to activate the embroidered yellow silk again to cover the demon insect that Golden Cicada had transformed into.

But at this moment...

Chen Xi suddenly felt a little nervous, as if he was being glanced at by someone unknown.

On the brocade yellow silk, the woman's figure is graceful, elegant and luxurious.

Chen Xi frowned and quickly put away the embroidered yellow silk.

And because of this delay of less than a breath, Jin Chanzi's body has recovered and his breath is strong.

Immortal and indestructible, the more you fight, the stronger you become!
Chen Xi's face was gloomy and he was breathing heavily.

He knew very well that if he wanted to bring Jin Chanzi to his death completely.

Or kill the ginseng fruit tree that has almost become one with the golden cicada.

Or use his great supernatural powers to completely destroy Jin Chanzi!
But what ability does he have to do all this...

Just when Chen Xi was puzzled, Jin Chanzi transformed again with his magical power.

In an instant, a giant eagle with golden wings, a Kun head, starry eyes and leopard eyes swooped down.

It spread its wings and appeared in an instant, with its sharp beak extending and claws pouncing.

The momentum was so rapid that Chen Xi could hardly resist.

In panic, he raised his Zen stick to block, but his arms were torn off and a hole was pecked on his cheek.

Blood splattered, dyeing the Five Buddha Crown red.

Between life and death, the pure light of wisdom shines brightly!

Chen Xi's obstacles to knowledge and understanding suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly remembered the words of Zhenyuan Daxian.

"If you want to cross the Wuzhuang Temple, you need to use a golden hammer to knock down the ginseng fruit tree."

"The past and all that has happened since then have vanished into thin air."

Yup!

Although the ginseng fruit tree has fallen down, it is still dead. How can it be said to have disappeared into thin air?

If there is anything else that can break the current situation and destroy the ginseng fruit tree and the golden cicada.

I'm afraid that only the Immortal Zhenyuan left behind is the golden hammer made from the Great Sage's hair!

The golden-winged roc transformed by Jin Chanzi is right before our eyes...

Chen Xi knew that if he failed this time, he might not even have the chance to leave a last will on the human skin.

In an instant, Chen Xi made a decision. He was going to take a gamble!
This is not about believing in the so-called Zhenyuan Immortal.

The one he truly believed in was the Great Sage who had helped him many times with just a little bit of his hair along the way!

Chen Xi's face turned stern, and seeing that the golden-winged Roc was about to peck again, he threw the golden hammer without hesitation.

As soon as the golden hammer appeared, it seemed to sense something.

In an instant, a brilliant and pure golden light emerged from the golden hammer and exploded into thousands of clouds.

Chen Xi felt something and looked up.

At this moment, he grinned!
Obviously, Chen Xi made the right bet...

Then a furry hand stretched out and suddenly grasped the Ruyi Jingu Bang that was transformed from thousands of clouds.

Indistinctly, a towering figure appeared.

He was dressed in golden chain mail armor, a phoenix-wing purple gold crown on his head, and lotus silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet.

It was the famous and majestic...Sage Qi Tian!

There is a poem saying:

He was wearing shiny golden armor and a shining golden crown on his head.

He holds a golden hoop in his hand and wears cloud shoes on his feet.

A pair of strange eyes like a star, and two ears that look over the shoulders and are hard.

The posture is straight and the movements are varied, and the voice is as loud as bells.

Bima Wen, a man with a sharp tongue and a lofty ambition, wants to be the Saint Equal to Heaven!
The golden hoop made of thousands of clouds smashed down with a loud bang!

Wherever the stick went, the sky became bright, the clouds split and the earth cracked, sweeping across a thousand miles.

"Hey! Monster!"

"Take a stick from my old grandson!"

A loud shout rang out between heaven and earth!
All the heresies, demonic words and distortions of Buddhism were destroyed with one stick and shattered into pieces!

The dull and wooden look of the golden-winged Roc transformed by Jin Chanzi changed for the first time.

Fear, terror...

The roots of the ginseng fruit tree seemed to be about to escape.

However, no matter how he fled, he could not escape the stick that cleared the sky and swept away the dust in all directions!
Under this tremendous force, the Taoists who were waiting in the back garden only saw the dark clouds parting and the rays of light pouring down.

It was the first time in a thousand years that the sun rose.

They bathed in the sunshine, laughed heartily, bowed from afar, then collapsed into dust and dissipated in the wind.

After one blow of the stick, Wanshou Mountain collapsed, leaving only the mountains and rivers, and no demons or monsters were left.

The golden monkey made a great effort, and Yuyu clarified Wan Lie!
Today we cheer for Sun Wukong, only because the evil fog has come again!
