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

Chapter 195: Meeting the Monkey in the Pagoda (6k!)
"Little brother?"

When Chen Xi heard the name, he couldn't help but stop.

He could clearly hear that the guy imprisoned in this cell did not seem to be as confused and crazy as the other demons.

Chen Xi turned around and looked towards the cell where the sound came from.

Then he saw that inside the cell, there was a...monkey!
That’s right, it’s a monkey!
Sharp chin, hairy face and a sharp jaw.

It’s a pity that not every monkey is the Monkey King.

At least this monkey was born ugly, with a dark furry face, just like a woodcutter burning fire.

At this moment, the monkey, wearing shackles and chains, half leaning against the prison door, spoke to them.

"Little brother, do you have any wine? Give me two sips..."

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously used his clairvoyance to get a glimpse of this guy's background.

Monkey!

After drinking all the jade liquid, there is nectar, and the sparkling water in the jar is new wine.

I would rather get drunk in the hustle and bustle of the world, and not care about my hometown or a foreign land.

"Are you Shen Hou?"

"As a monk, how can I possibly carry wine with me?"

Chen Xi was somewhat surprised to find out that this monkey was actually the Monkey mentioned by the Dog.

He had just found out that Shen Hou might be in Baoxiang Kingdom.

Then he met this guy in this way.

What a coincidence! What a coincidence!
"Alas, you don't have any wine..."

Shen Hou had a dejected look on his face, and he slumped on the ground and waved his hands.

"I smell the stench of that guy Xu Gou on you. Could it be that that scoundrel was also caught?"

"Could it be that the scoundrel really imitated me and stole a stove?"

"Hahaha, that rascal doesn't have my skills. I'm afraid he was caught stealing the stove and is suffering here."

When Chen Xi heard this, a strange look appeared on his face.

It turns out that the Dog was instigated by the Monkey to steal the alchemy furnace.

"Xu Gou was still refining elixirs outside the city. We hit it off right away and I rescued him. He didn't go to jail."

"It's you, on the contrary. I just heard Xu Gou talking about you not long ago."

"How did you end up like this, imprisoned in a pagoda?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hou struggled to stand up.

He staggered and looked drunk, reeking of alcohol.

"Isn't it for the treasure in this pagoda?"

"Hey, little brother, you don't know something!"

"This pagoda, hiccup~ has a treasure called... the Sun and Moon Pot!"

"Sun and Moon Pot?"

When Chen Xi heard this, he glanced at Gu Nu.

The Bone Girl shook her head, indicating that she was not very clear about this either.

"As the saying goes, when you are drunk, the world is vast; when you are in a pot, the days and months are long."

"The Sun and Moon Pot is a treasure of yin and yang, and it is a favorite of wine lovers!"

"It is said that just pouring wine into it can instantly produce two different flavors of yin and yang, which is indescribable."

"Hehe, I was craving for wine, and after hearing about this thing, I came here to try my luck."

"I never thought I'd run into a hot-tempered woman. She beat me up without saying a word and threw me into jail."

When Shen Hou talked about that bad-tempered woman, he scratched his ears and cheeks.

It’s a pity that the shackles on his body restricted his movements.

Otherwise, at this moment, I would have to jump up and perform a set of drunken boxing.

But Chen Xi, who was standing aside, had a puzzled look on his face.

This is not a monkey at all, he is clearly an old drunkard!

Just for a drink, he risked his life to break into the pagoda.

This is really a drinker...

"Now I've been stuck here for a few days and all the wine I had is gone."

"If it weren't for my divine power being taken away by the White Bone Bodhisattva, I wouldn't have to endure this."

"Little brother, I see that you are familiar with that scoundrel, why don't you do me a favor and save me as well."

Although Shen Hou looked drunk, he was quite sober in his heart.

Chen Xi and Gu Nu are his last chance to leave this damn prison.

Under the circumstances, how could he miss this opportunity?

This is not only for his own survival, but also for whether he can drink fine wine in the future!

"I can save you, but we don't have much of a relationship."

"That dog even allowed me to have an elixir, you... wouldn't get something for nothing, would you?"

Chen Xi spoke with great interest, crossing his arms without being in a hurry.

"Here, here, here. It's just a magic pill!"

"Why is that rascal so stingy that he only allowed you one elixir."

"If you want me to give you a number, at least one thousand pills!"

As Shen Hou said this, he moved his body with great effort, trying to find the elixir.

However, he searched for a long time and couldn't find even a single hair.

It was not until this time that Shen Hou, the old drunkard, remembered something.

"Ha... that little brother."

"I almost forgot that I ate all the elixir I got from that scoundrel."

"In order to enter this pagoda, I went to that scoundrel and asked for some elixirs."

"That scoundrel is amazing at refining pills, regardless of other things."

"Logically speaking, anyone who is in the pagoda will have their yang energy absorbed as time passes."

"It's thanks to that bastard's magic pill that I've survived these many days and am still as energetic as I am today."

Shen Hou scratched his head and made a promise.

"Well, little brother..."

"You should save me first, and I will definitely reward you handsomely later."

"That scoundrel can make elixirs, and my wine-making skills are not bad either!"

"Then I will give you a jar of immortal wine. Drink it till you are drunk."

Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard this.

It’s worthy of being the Twelve Yuanchen!
Not a family, do not enter the door.

Their ability to buy things on credit is exactly the same.

"That's all..."

"Just consider it as a good relationship..."

Chen Xi shook his head, not caring about any benefits.

The nine-ring tin staff moved and smashed towards the prison door.

"boom!"

The nine-ring tin staff was so powerful that the indestructible prison door was shattered into pieces on the spot.

Chen Xi reached out his hand, grabbed the shackles on Shen Hou and pulled hard.

Click!

The shackles broke with a sound and fell to the ground.

The monkey escaped from the prison and rolled out of the cell.

They put their hands on their chests, ran to Chen Xi and patted his shoulders.

"Little brother, I will remember this favor..."

"Hey, you are not an ordinary person, right?"

"To make that bullshitter obedient, I promise you the elixir."

"He can even break into this pagoda and break the prison door easily..."

"This is not easy!"

"I don't know what the monk's name is, and where is the temple?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi opened his mouth to speak.

However, at this moment, the entire first floor of the pagoda suddenly shook!

In an instant, the earth shook.

The Monkey and the Bone Girl were unstable and almost fell.

Only Chen Xi stuck the nine-ring staff into the ground in time to avoid embarrassment.

"Ahhh, here it comes, that guy is coming!"

"Don't, don't look for me. It wasn't me who caused the noise."

The demon imprisoned in a cell on the first floor originally looked crazy, insane, and extremely violent.

But now, they have all become as timid as mice, huddled in the corner and shivering.

"what happened?"

After the shaking of the pagoda subsided, Chen Xi asked the Bone Girl.

The bone girl managed to steady herself and glanced at the Shen Monkey.

"Perhaps the monkey was rescued and the prison door was broken, triggering the restriction of the pagoda."

"From the noise, it seems some demon or ghost has been disturbed."

"Demons and monsters?"

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and was about to ask in detail.

suddenly!

The surroundings suddenly dimmed, and the first-floor pagoda, which was originally as bright red as blood, instantly turned into black and white.

The demons imprisoned in the cells had red glow in their eyes and kowtowed desperately, as if they had lost their minds.

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound of the meat head hitting the ground was endless and extremely creepy.

Wisps of yang energy wafted out from them.

Amidst the shadows, whispers could be heard all around.

This kind of sound is extremely creepy and terrifying, making people feel fear for no reason.

The bone girl's face turned pale, obviously she was also affected.

The Monkey was even worse. He was in a panic and couldn't stop looking around.

"What is this……"

Chen Xi's face looked grim and his heart was pounding.

After a long time, he actually felt some of the fear he had felt in the ruined temple again.

This feeling reminded him of the Longmen Banquet.

The effect of the strange rustling sound at the moment is almost the same as that of the thunder of the Dragon King.

But this feeling comes and goes quickly.

Chen Xi's mind moved, and the Shengguang, one of the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques, was performed.

In an instant, a glazed light emanated from Chen Xi's entire body.

The lapis lazuli light shines everywhere, and all dharmas cannot intrude upon it.

Fortunately, Chen Xi had foresight and activated the magical method of generating light in advance.

Right now, it’s perfect for this situation!
Chen Xi was under the glass light, and the strange rustling sounds no longer rang in his ears.

However, Chen Xi's Liuli Light can only protect him.

The Monkey and the Girl are still deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves.

At the same time, Chen Xi felt something and looked up ahead.

But in this black and white world...

A ray of light came from far away.

Chen Xi looked closely and found that it was actually a string of lanterns!
But this lantern is not simple.

There is a human figure under the string of lanterns.

It is about ten feet tall, thin and tall, with hands and feet but no head.

The neck was covered in blood and hung with a string of lanterns emitting white light.

A layer of yang energy emitted by the demon all went towards the lantern on its neck.

With every ray of yang energy the lantern absorbs, its light becomes brighter.

This was the first time Chen Xi had seen such a horrifying and strange image.

"I want to see what you are."

The unknown is the scariest thing.

When Chen Xi saw that the other party had revealed his true identity, he became certain in his heart.

His clairvoyance was activated, and he instantly understood the whereabouts of this ghost thing.

The prison guard who holds the lamp!

The ancient temple has towering trees and the secluded prison is where lives hang in the balance.

There is light in the darkness, and it is the closest to the abyss.

"It turns out that it's not a demon, but a ghost..."

Chen Xi understood and his face turned cold.

He turned the nine-ring staff and walked towards the prison guard who was in charge of lighting the lamp.

The prison guard in charge of lighting lamps swayed from side to side, with the lantern around his neck emitting light.

Wherever the light shines, demons will lose their minds and fall into deep fear.

Those demons in the cells who were unfortunately illuminated by the light kowtowed more and more frantically, even knocking their brains out, but they still could not stop.

However, such a strange light had no effect on Chen Xi. He swung the nine-ring staff and smashed it hard on the thigh of the prison guard who was in charge of the lamp.

This blow was powerful and heavy!
There was a violent sound of breaking through the air and the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The prison guard in charge of the lamp seemed to have not expected that there would be someone who was completely fearless of its light.

Caught off guard, it, with its already poor physical strength, was knocked to the ground.

The withered legs were directly broken by Chen Xi.

The prison guard holding the lamp felt no pain, and even after falling to the ground he still did not forget to wave his arms towards Chen Xi.

Chen Xi raised the nine-ring tin staff to block the attack of the prison guard holding the lamp. There was a sound of metal colliding and sparks flew everywhere.

Obviously, the Lamp Guardian's bad physical body is only relative.

Although he is not a big demon, he can be considered a leader among the small demons.

but……

Chen Xi is even better than him!
He took out a colorful glass lamp, took a deep breath, and then blew it out violently.

The colorful glass lamp shook, and flames burst out of it.

Wisps of colorful glazed fire fell on the lamp-bearing prison guard and burned him until he rolled on the ground.

The prison guard who was in charge of lighting, who should not have felt any pain, was in excruciating pain at this moment.

In an instant, the strange rustling noises all around weakened a lot at this moment.

The jailer in charge of lighting the lantern shook the lantern around his neck, and the prison doors suddenly opened one after another.

The demon, who had been kowtowing desperately, had completely lost his mind.

There was a red glow in their eyes as they swarmed towards Chen Xi.

"Oh? Can it withstand the seven-colored glazed fire?"

Seeing that this guy still had the strength to struggle desperately, Chen Xi couldn't help but frown.

The colorful glazed fire is particularly restraining to demons and monsters with deep obsessions.

Thinking back to when he faced the Curtain-Pulling General, he almost lost his life just because he was stained by a few strands of blood.

However, this prison guard who holds the lamp can withstand the burning of the colorful glazed fire.

Obviously, the reason this guy was born was not because of obsession.

At this moment, more and more demons are gathering around.

However, Gu Nu and Shen Hou were trapped in deep fear and were useless.

Seeing this, Chen Xi no longer held back.

In an instant, my heart began to beat with anger!

Chen Xi was furious, with a hint of hostility between his brows.

"go with!"

As soon as the sound was heard, the fire of karma began to grow.

A red lotus fire quickly expanded and spread.

Although the Hell Guardian of the Lamp can withstand the colorful glazed fire, he cannot withstand the red lotus karma fire.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire specifically burns sins. Anything that Chen Xi considers to be sinful will be burned by it.

The prison guard who is in charge of lighting is an accomplice of the evildoer, collecting yang energy and privately detaining living beings. He should be burned!
The demon is stupid and foolish, and has committed many evil things. He is imprisoned but does not reflect on himself. Instead, he speaks dirty words. He should be burned!
The karmic fire was raging and mercilessly engulfed the lamp-bearing prison guard.

Those demons who had lost their minds, like moths to a flame, threw themselves into the flames of karma and turned into ashes.

After three or five breaths...

The world, which was originally in black and white, gradually regained its color.

The strange rustling sounds in my ears also subsided.

When the karmic fire dissipated, only one lantern was left of the lamplighter, which had not been burned.

"This……"

Only at this point did Gu Nu and Shen Hou get better.

When they came to their senses, they saw the mess around them and were immediately filled with shock.

Chen Xi walked to the lantern, bent down and picked it up.

He took a quick glance and found that the lantern was full of yang energy.

The lanterns seem to have some kind of magic. If you look at them for too long you will feel dizzy and hear rustling sounds in your ears.

"Longzi, this thing seems to have my power."

At this moment, Long Jun suddenly spoke.

"Your power?"

Chen Xi was wondering what this thing was for.

When I heard Lord Long say this, I couldn't help but become interested.

"That's right..."

"To be precise, this thing should be a product of the influence of the pearl."

"But this thing is of no use to me. I'd better find the pearl as soon as possible."

"I can feel that the pearl is calling me..."

Long Jun's tone was inexplicable, and he kept mumbling.

After hearing this, Chen Xi wanted to ask something else.

But considering that Gu Nu and Shen Hou were still there, he kept silent for the time being.

"I don't know what Kuimu Lang and the so-called Baihua Sha are going to do by extracting this Yang Qi."

Chen Xi fiddled with the lantern for a while, but when he realized he couldn't figure out its function, he simply put it away.

"Buddha, sir, we should leave quickly."

"There's quite a commotion going on right now, so we need to get the pearl as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, once Kuimu Wolf reacts, it will be difficult to get the pearl..."

The bone girl spoke first, wanting to call herself a child of Buddha.

However, she soon realized that Shen Hou was still there, so she changed her words in time.

"That little brother..."

"What treasure are you going to take?"

"Why don't you take me with you? I'm much better than a lazy dog."

"It was just an accident. Maybe I can help if you bring me along..."

Shen Hou had already seen Chen Xi's methods, and rubbed his hands and wanted to go along.

Chen Xi was somewhat moved when he heard this.

Although this monkey may not look very impressive, it was once one of the Twelve Yuanchen after all.

If we bring him along, who knows, he might actually be of use.

But then he changed his mind.

The pagoda is now full of dangers, and we don’t know what the Bone Girl is planning yet, so we need to be careful.

If you bring the monkey with you, it may not be very convenient.

What's more, he also wants to take the pearl, and who knows what big trouble may arise.

If the monkey follows him, his life may be in danger.

Right now, he was thinking about going out to find these Twelve Yuanchen after he had finished his work and talking about the past events in heaven.

It would be a pity if he died here...

Thinking of this, Chen Xi shook his head and refused.

"The pagoda is too dangerous now, don't lose your life."

"You should go and look for the dog."

"I have something important to do. I will come back to you to drink some wine after I finish it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hou scratched his cheek and opened his mouth to speak.

However, Chen Xi and Gu Nu went to the second floor without looking back.

Shen Monkey had no choice but to leave the pagoda alone.

Maybe it was a layer of demons, most of which were burned to ashes by Chen Xi.

As a result, the Monkey did not encounter any noisy monsters along the way.

Soon, he stood at the entrance of the tower.

However, when he was about to leave this dangerous place, Shen Monkey stopped.

He grimaced, somewhat sober.

"No way, no way..."

"I was caught stealing treasure and suffered for several days."

"If I leave like this, I won't get the treasure and I'll have suffered so much for nothing. Wouldn't my imprisonment be in vain?"

……

The entrance to the second floor of the pagoda.

Chen Xi and Gu Nu walked hurriedly.

They were worried that something might happen sooner or later, so they kept going, following the bloodstone stairs until they arrived at the entrance to the second floor.

The entrance was blocked by a stone door.

Even Chen Xi was unable to push it away for a moment.

Logically speaking, this stone door needs to be restricted before it can be opened.

And the Bone Girl happened to have the restriction of the Pagoda in her hand.

However, when the Bone Girl used the restriction, she found that for some reason, the restriction given by the Fox Girl seemed to have lost its effectiveness.

The bone girl frowned secretly, not knowing what was going on.

But Chen Xi didn't care about so much. Since the Bone Girl was helpless, he could only break the situation by force.

"Lord Long, lend a hand!"

Chen Xi talked to himself and shouted loudly.

The dragon head on his neck immediately grinned.

In an instant, Chen Xi's body swelled up to about ten feet tall.

Fine pieces of flesh and blood dragon scales grew out.

Chen Xi's pupils turned vertical and his strength increased greatly.

He pushed the door hard and actually shook the restriction of the pagoda.

"Rumble--"

About three breaths later!
Chen Xi pushed the door open completely with all his strength.

For a moment, a cold and gloomy atmosphere emanated from the door.

The biting cold air caused frost to form on the ground.

Chen Xi's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled the sour smell of resentment.

The smell was so strong that it almost made him roll his eyes.

But this alone is not enough to scare Chen Xi away.

Chen Xi fanned away the smell, then without hesitation, took a step forward and entered the second floor of the pagoda.

In an instant, the sky was spinning!

"Ok?"

Chen Xi quickly came to his senses and looked around.

Soon he found himself in a magnificent palace.

Looking at the decoration and arrangement, it seems like the scenery of a royal palace.

However, compared to a normal palace, there is no color here. The world is completely black and white, as if the prison guard holding the lamp has reappeared.

Compared to the first floor which was a scene of purgatory, this place was only a little more gloomy and completely different from the scene inside the pagoda.

"One, three, five and seven are yang, two, four and six are yin."

"Is this the dark side of the pagoda you mentioned?"

Chen Xi subconsciously glanced to his side.

However, it was not until this moment that he realized that the Bone Girl was not here.

Chen Xi frowned instantly, realizing that the location of entering the second floor of the pagoda seemed random.

Fortunately, he had already memorized the smell of the Bone Girl.

It's not difficult to find her.

Chen Xi's nose twitched slightly, and he immediately followed the scent of the bone girl and walked in one direction.

He had not been walking for long when he heard a noise coming from the front.

"Bang! Crack..."

There seemed to be a sound of something falling to the ground and breaking...

Chen Xi looked carefully and saw a scene.

A group of maids with pretty faces and simple clothes knelt on the ground.

There was still some teacup left on the ground, which had been accidentally broken.

"What do you do for a living? You can't even do this?"

A middle-aged man with luxurious clothes and a big belly shouted at the tea-serving maid.

The maid who had just accidentally broken the teacup was now trembling with fear.

The nobleman frowned and looked at the maid.

I saw that thick black wolf hair had grown on his hands.

The nobleman's expression instantly darkened, but when he saw the pretty face of the maid, he calmed down a lot and even spoke to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a minor problem..."

"Just touch the orb in the tower, and all kinds of stubborn diseases will be cured..."

As soon as the dignitary finished speaking, a manager was so moved that tears filled his eyes and he shouted loudly.

"did you see it!"

"In ancient times, when a man attained enlightenment, his family and friends all rose to heaven."

"If it weren't for the master's kindness, how could you lowly servants stay within the palace walls and enjoy protection?"

"I'm afraid that he has already been chewed into pieces and eaten alive by those untouchables who have turned into demons!"
