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

Chapter 187 Birth, Old Age, Sickness and Death, Bodhisattva Guangli
"What a difference! Such completely different attitudes..."

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and chewed the white bone Buddha carefully, saying... a relatively complete man of destiny.

Could it be that this guy has seen a person who is only half destined?
White Bone Bodhisattva did not have this attitude when dealing with the Thunderbolt Master.

Could this also be because of the so-called 'completeness'?
[I walked among the white-bone monsters, and in order to prevent any possible evil intentions, I moved my light as I pleased.]

[For a moment, the glazed light around me was so bright and dazzling that all the demons and monsters avoided me.]

[The Bone Rakshasa who originally wanted to lead the way for me didn't even dare to approach after seeing Liuli Guang.]

[To these evil spirits, I am no less than a bright sun! ]

[Just being close to me makes these white-bone monsters feel miserable. ]

[Under such circumstances, how dare they get close? ]

[This time, I did not follow the path of the Thunderbolt Master and take shortcuts to see the White Bone Bodhisattva.]

【But it is full of courtesy, and wants to pass the four hardships. 】

[I took one step forward and came from the Forest of Bones to the Pass of Life and Bitterness... the Pure Pond! ]

[The cold winds here are blowing, peeling off the skin and flesh, leaving the bones and souls in ruins. 】

[I am wearing a brocade robe, so I have no worries about this. ]

[As soon as I stepped into this place, Buhuagu appeared to greet me. ]

[As the commander-in-chief of Baihu Ridge, Buhuagu would naturally not be as disgusting as those white bone monsters.]

[He was respectful and polite, and had no trace of the perverse, violent, vicious and ferocious look he had shown when facing the Thunderbolt Master before.]

[Obviously, Bu Hua Gu did not recognize me.]

[But this is normal. After all, I never met Buhuagu in Wanshou Mountain.]

[I glanced at it calmly, and immediately understood the details of Buhuagu's current situation.]

[Compared to the time at Wanshou Mountain, Buhuagu was not seriously injured and weakened. It even seemed like a blessing in disguise, and his Taoism has improved a lot. ]

[If he is given a few thousand years, or some special opportunity, he might be able to catch a glimpse of the great demon.]

[I didn't waste too much time on a boneless person.]

[I passed the Pass of Birth Suffering, and then followed the road to the Pass of Old Suffering.]

What is the Passage of Aging?

[As the name suggests, the suffering that people go through as they grow older is called the barrier of suffering from old age.]

[When I first entered this place, I saw the so-called living grave. ]

[The living grave is located on a barren mountain. ]

【Graves of different sizes are arranged in a clear pattern.】

[What is more peculiar is that there is a hole on the top of each of these tombs.]

[From time to time, noises can be heard from beneath these living graves.]

[I was curious, so I used my clairvoyance to take a look.]

[It was only then that I realized that the people lying under these living graves were not corpses, but living beings.]

[These creatures have different forms, but they have one thing in common: they are old.]

[Each of them is about to rot, half of it has already been buried in the ground. 】

[These half-dead old creatures, lying in the living grave, survive by eating the flesh and blood that falls from the hole every day. They are no different from the living dead.]

[And the whole living tomb, because of these old things, is filled with a smell of old age. ]

"Living Grave..."

Chen Xi's mind moved slightly, as if he remembered something.

In his previous life, there really was a saying about a living grave.

Living grave, also known as living tomb.

According to legend, in ancient times, when people reached the age of sixty, they would become rotten wood, with dim eyesight and clumsy hands, and would become a burden to their children and grandchildren.

At this time, in order to save money and worry, family members would bury the old man alive according to custom.

Some filial children could not bear to bury their parents alive, so they built tombs for the living.

A square hole will be left on the top of the tomb of a living person for ventilation and storing food.

When the people in the underground can no longer receive food, that is the day of death, and the people on the earth will seal the top of the head.

This way of dying may seem cruel, but it is actually much better.

Chen Xi once heard that in some places, descendants would carry elderly people who were unable to work in the family to the mountains and wilderness to feed tigers.

Old bitter pass...

People live to old age but do not have a good end.

Giving birth to offspring, but ending up in a living grave...

"From the birth gate, which symbolizes the pain of childbirth, to the old age gate, which symbolizes the pain of death caused by children and grandchildren."

"This White Bone Bodhisattva has some impressive skills..."

Chen Xi sneered and did not comment.

Sufferings in life, birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings.

White Bone Bodhisattva set up these four ordeals, which seemed to have no particular purpose, but actually contained some Buddhist methods.

If it were an ordinary person, after such an experience, their mind would be subtly affected and they would become afraid of raising children...

[My expression did not change, and I was not shaken at all by the scene here.]

[I went deep into the living tomb and soon felt something strange.]

[Life seems to pass extremely quickly here.]

[Some ordinary things in my body are gradually decaying. ]

[If I had not drunk the Goddess Soup and eaten the Ginseng Fruit, which would have made me immortal, I would have been gray-haired and my life span would have been shortened.]

[And the source of all this seems to be due to a certain existence deep in this place. ]

[My heart trembled, and my face became solemn.]

[I never thought that besides the White Bone Bodhisattva, there was actually a big demon here! ]

[Yes, with my nose, I can clearly smell that the being here has a stench that is unique to a great demon.]

[And this ability to cause people to age seems to be emitted unintentionally. ]

[I took a deep look into the depths of the living grave and found that there was no unnecessary trouble.]

[Under the seat of the White Bone Bodhisattva, a great demon actually bowed down and submitted to me. This was beyond my expectation.]

[Obviously, the White Bone Bodhisattva is much more terrifying than I imagined! ] [And everything I saw next just confirmed this point. ]

【Walking past the living graves, you will see the mass graves representing illness and suffering. 】

[This place is just as its name suggests, with lonely graves everywhere, zombies everywhere, and bones everywhere. ]

[As soon as I entered this place, I saw two demons that were no weaker than the Bone Rakshasa.]

[One is a giant python, more than a thousand feet long, spewing plague fog from its mouth.]

[The second one is a long snake, more than ten thousand feet long, extremely terrifying, but not very powerful, just huge in size, spewing out plague wind from its mouth.]

【When the two come together, it becomes a plague.】

【Since ancient times, there have been many plagues and diseases, which are actually related to this disease, and they complement each other. 】

[I didn’t stay for too long, and immediately stepped onto the Death Pass, Shura Field.]

[Not long ago, Mang Jin Gang was defeated here. ]

【Now I come here again, the scene is completely different. 】

[The skeleton soldiers who once fought against the Raging King Kong and shouted for war and killing dared not act rashly in front of me.]

[But that huge skeleton is quite tough and is not afraid of me. ]

[With my clairvoyance, I can clearly see that this is another being that is as unbreakable as a bone and close to being a great demon.]

[The demons in White Tiger Ridge are many times richer than those in Pear Garden.]

[My heart became more and more solemn, but my spirit did not drop at all.]

[As I went through birth, aging, sickness and death, the four sufferings of life, I don’t know why, but my Heart Sutra has improved.]

[Vaguely, the nose consciousness seems to be complete, but it is still a little short of perfection. ]

【I realized something in my heart, and walked into the White Bone Cave alone. 】

[This time, the four annoying monsters in the White Bone Cave were very sensible and did not show up. ]

[I am very sorry about this...]

[Earlier, these guys boasted to the Thunderbolt Master that even if the king of heaven came, he would have to leave money to buy his way through.]

[Now that I am here, I dare not show my face. It is really boring. ]

【For a moment, I was greatly disappointed. 】

[Soon, I arrived at the White Bone Bodhisattva's bedroom.]

[This place is exactly the same as when the Thunderbolt Master came. ]

[At a glance, I noticed the long table banquet and the light gauze Roman deep in the bedroom.]

[Behind the light veil, the white lotus blooms with color, and the Bodhisattva sits upside down. ]

[I raised my eyebrows and looked at the White Skeleton Bodhisattva carefully.]

【I only saw her stunning appearance, stunningly beautiful. 】

【White gauze as clothes, with a smile on her face. 】

[From a vague perspective, the appearance of the White Bone Bodhisattva is somewhat similar to that of the Guanyin Bodhisattva. ]

[However, compared to Guanyin Bodhisattva, White Bone Bodhisattva lacks the sense of great compassion. ]

[I have seen the statue of Guanyin in Guanyin Temple, so I can see this clearly.]

【At this moment, I still don’t understand. 】

[This White Bone Bodhisattva is probably closely related to Guanyin! ]

[It is even possible...]

【I didn’t want to think about it any further, so I wanted to speak to break the silence.】

[However, before I could say anything, the White Bone Bodhisattva spoke first.]

[“Since the Buddhist has come to the banquet, why don’t you take a seat?”]

[I frowned, not sure what this guy's purpose was.]

[Could it be that you really just want to invite me for a meal? ]

[I was patient and didn't get angry right away. I just sat down and wanted to see what tricks He was going to play.]

【At the same time, the table was filled with delicious food, and suddenly a fragrance filled the air. 】

【All kinds of delicacies from land and sea are available. 】

[In this demonic and corrupt world, it is rare to have such a table of delicious food. ]

【Immortal fruit and jade dew, full and abundant. 】

【I glanced over and my index finger started to twitch. 】

[If you eat all of these, you'll probably be able to increase your level a lot. ]

[Who knows, even the Heart Sutra can be improved and the nose consciousness can be completely penetrated.]

[For a moment, a little greed arose in my heart. ]

[However, as my greed aroused, this desire was quickly eaten up.]

[I woke up instantly and was furious.]

[What a white-bone Bodhisattva! ]

[It was said that he was attending a banquet, but in the end, he resorted to such despicable means? ]

[“It seems that there is nothing left for you and me to talk about…”]

[I was greatly disappointed, so I wanted to start a rebellion and start a Hongmen Banquet.]

[However, the White Bone Bodhisattva chuckled at this moment and took out something.]

[Instantly, the dragon head on my neck suddenly opened its eyes.]

[The dragon head was ready to move, its eyes fixed on the white bone Bodhisattva.]

[My expression changed slightly, and I looked over there.]

[Then I saw that object, which was shaped like a fairy belt and full of divinity.]

【Bodhisattva of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons and Great Strength……】
