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

Chapter 209: Everything goes as planned, head east! (6k!)
Chen Xi glanced at Shen Hou and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this drunkard would now try to persuade him.

"According to what you said, if being drunk for a while doesn't help, then we should keep getting drunk."

"Are you trying to say that the reason you are in a daze right now is because you think too much?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hou glanced up at the sky.

He waved his hands and laughed.

"Alas, I was just saying it casually. I didn't think that deeply. I just wanted to drink."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Chen Xi simply gave up and did not pursue the matter further.

"By the way, little brother, in the few days that I've known you, you always seem to be in a hurry."

"Even when you are healing, you have to keep important things in mind."

"Could it be that my little brother is like Lord Kuimu, and has some obsession in his heart that he can't let go of?"

Chen Xi looked at Shen Hou and found that he had brought up the topic again, but he did not avoid it and nodded slightly.

"It's not good to have an obsession in your heart that you can't let go of..."

"You should know that all immortals, gods, and Buddhas who are obsessed with it will not have a good ending."

"If one is obsessed with something and cannot be freed from it, then he is a demon..."

The monkey drinks by himself and talks to himself.

Chen Xi shook his head and did not comment.

Whether to let go of his obsession or not, he had thought it through when he was in the opera theater.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I can't go back to heaven anyway, so what's the point of becoming an immortal or a Buddha?"

"It's better to be a demon and live freely."

What the Monkey said sounded quite rebellious.

This made Chen Xi look sideways.

"Don't look at me like that. You might as well take a closer look at the Kuimu Star Lord under the tomb."

"He, neither forgets his old love nor lets down his new love."

"I can't let go, I can't be sure, and I'm unwilling to follow one path. I just keep going until the end."

"In the end, a guy who was not a bad person ended up with his bones in a grave."

When Shen Hou said this, he grabbed the wine gourd and started drinking the wine.

Finally, he let out a long breath and spoke again with drunken eyes.

"But little brother, you and Kuimu Star Lord are slightly different."

"You have a destiny. If you can control your temper and go west with peace of mind, destiny will follow you along the way."

“Those who are favored by fate can always turn misfortune into fortune when they encounter disaster.”

“But if you think too much, you will feel more unhappy and do too much.”

"That will definitely lead to a bad reputation, and I'm afraid it won't end well..."

Before Shen Hou could finish his words, a bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the sky and struck him on the side.

The monkey was so frightened that he spilled most of the wine in his hand.

"Oh, God damn it, why are you so angry for no reason?"

"This is the monkey wine I brewed with great difficulty..."

Shen Hou was heartbroken and quickly lay on the ground, licking the remaining wine.

With such a look on his face, how could he still look like the person who was speaking such profound principles just now?

After the sudden thunder, heavy rain fell as expected.

The dog, who was refining the elixir, cursed the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning for being moody and why it rained for no reason.

If this were in heaven, he would have reported it to the higher authorities.

The Dog cursed and called the little demon quickly, and hurried to get the rain gear to avoid ruining the elixir.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a glassy light flashed in his eyes.

He looked up at the sky, but didn't see anything wrong, so he had to give up.

Shen Hou watched the rain wash away the wine on the ground, shook the wine gourd, and sighed.

"I hope my drunken talk today didn't cause any trouble to you, little brother."

"Go, go, go, I'll go see if there's any good wine hidden here."

After Shen Hou finished speaking, he staggered towards the ruins of the imperial palace.

Suddenly, Chen Xi was the only one left in the back garden, sitting alone in the heavy rain.

Chen Xi knew in his heart that Shen Hou's words were simply to enlighten him, and he even gave him two options.

Either cut off the obsession and let go of the worry.

In this way, you will naturally be able to see clearly inside and out, see the direction without any worries, and walk steadily on the path under your feet.

Either you focus on the journey westward, even if you are deeply obsessed, but as long as you go in the right direction, you will have destiny with you.

In fact, Chen Xi had already had some vague awareness of this long before.

The path I am taking now contains many obstacles and arrangements.

Ever since he survived the battle of Huangfengling, it seemed that he had never encountered a true dead end again.

As long as he keeps on this journey to the west, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles he encounters, or what kind of enemies he meets, he will be able to turn danger into safety.

After that, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and he gained all kinds of treasures.

Even with his eight hands, he couldn’t catch the magic weapon that even ordinary big demons might not have.

"So... this is the benefit of having destiny."

Chen Xi gave a bitter smile as the rain dripped down his body.

If you just keep moving forward, go to Lingshan, and seek survival.

For him now, it couldn't be simpler.

He has magical powers comparable to those of a great demon, and he even has a human skin to protect him.

In this demonic and corrupt world where no gods or Buddhas exist, there are really few beings who can easily kill him.

This time, since the state of Baoxiang is in trouble, he could just rest for two days and then continue on his journey.

Anyway, the White Bone Bodhisattva had only tricked him once, but he didn't suffer much and was not completely deceived by him.

It would be somewhat unprofitable to cause trouble to the White Bone Bodhisattva because of a momentary temper.

But can he really swallow his anger and let it go?
The further he went along the way, the more he realized that his body and mind were incompatible.

If he had not been in the Quicksand River and thought about his destiny, he could have continued to be indifferent.

If he had not carried all living beings on his back and had not encountered the toad spirit.

He could just focus on himself and not be affected by what happened to others.

Even now, many things happened that made him confused.

He can also practice the Heart Sutra to cut away all unnecessary and complicated feelings and enjoy peace.

But now...

He practiced the Heart Sutra in reverse, but he couldn't tolerate himself turning a blind eye.

Either you become obsessed with it or you do whatever you want.

Or you can bear everything and live awkwardly.

Chen Xi was unable to remain calm and indifferent to the joys and sorrows of others, the ups and downs of the world, and the joys and sorrows of life.

Either happy, sad, angry, or pitying!
He always has all kinds of emotions and can't just stand by and watch.

And this is the real reason why he couldn't just leave this time, ignore the matter of Kuimulang, and continue on his way.

This is truly a rare and peaceful place...

Chen Xi looked directly at himself and pondered his true heart.

Just at this moment, there was new movement in Xu Gou's alchemy furnace.

The stove cover shook and the aroma of medicine wafted in the air.

The little wolf demons showed extremely innocent expressions of joy.

Together with the Dog, they laughed heartily at the elixir that had just been made.

This extremely pure joy made Chen Xi slightly stunned, and he slightly forgot all the entanglements just now.

Compared to these joyful wolf demons, Chen Xi seemed a little too twisted.

After all...

If you want to achieve unity of body and mind, you only need to be happy when you are happy, cry when you are sad, and act according to your nature.

Although he is now practicing the Heart Sutra in reverse, but in the final analysis, isn't it still about the word "heart"?
Why are you unwilling and afraid to face it?
Is it because you are afraid of risks, afraid of getting into trouble, or afraid of an unknown fate?

He could have just left and not cared about anything else, but he got entangled here and even called the Dog and the Monkey.

Isn’t it because he was touched by the story of Kuimulang and Baihuasha?

Are you therefore struggling with whether you should face the White Bone Bodhisattva directly just to satisfy your temporary wishes?
The wisdom light shines faintly on the crowns of the five Vairocana Buddhas, revealing the meaning of perfection.

If you are dissatisfied, you will not have peace.

The body and mind are not one, and although the six consciousnesses can be perfected, how should we deal with further practice?
Along the way, one of the things he could rely on most was the human skin paper, which helped him to escape danger many times and find a way to survive.

The second is that the spiritual attainments gained through practicing the Heart Sutra are the most authentic and reliable.

Although the practice of Heart Sutra is mysterious, it is most based on one's own heart, which cannot be taken away or changed by others.

If Chen Xi does not want to become a puppet of others and blindly follow the fate, he needs to take one step at a time and have his own bargaining chips.

He actually understood everything that the Monkey said.

The former achieves immortality and the latter achieves destiny.

But Chen Xi had already formed his own ideas and made his own decisions along the way, even if it got him into trouble.

Chen Xi seemed to understand something, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared.

The light on the crowns of the Five Vairocana Buddhas became brighter, purer and more complete.

I don't know when the sky brightened again.

The morning sun shone down, illuminating Chen Xi with a golden glow.

The dog chuckled and came over.

He piled up a dozen pills into a tower and brought it forward.

Among these pills, only one stands out the most.

After nine transformations, it turns into fragrant qi. Where in the world can one find the elixir of life?

The golden tripod and jade furnace are refined by water and fire, and the nine-turn golden elixir is tasted in the mouth.

The color is purple gold, and the quality is nine turns.

This elixir comes from Taishang Laojun, and now it is refined by the dog, and is called the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill!

Although the ingredients for the elixir are all ordinary, and the temperature and time are insufficient, it still has some of the magical effects of the Nine-Transformation Purple Gold Pill, and can be called the Nine-Transformation Small Golden Pill.

Eating it can cure all diseases and injuries and make you full of strength.

If used properly, it is equivalent to saving half a life.

Chen Xi's eyes lit up. You, dog, are really pleasing to the eye.

The craftsmanship of the Dog is very reliable.

The various medicinal materials that Kuimulang had accumulated on a daily basis were quickly utilized in his hands and transformed into various elixirs.

Xu Gou picked up a few elixirs and introduced them with great pride.

"This is the Juzhen Fuhu Pill, which can greatly increase one's strength in a short period of time."

"This is the Green Light Rejuvenation Pill, which can restore one's own magic power, allowing the hero to use his magical powers without any scruples."

"The rest are all healing pills, called Purple Qi Rejuvenation Pills."

"Since the hero is often injured, I made ten more pills. It should be enough for the hero to use for a while."

When Xu Gou said this, there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

Obviously, the frequency of Chen Xi's injuries left a deep impression on him.

"Okay, okay, with your alchemy skills, it's not too much to call you Little Laojun, right?"

Chen Xi looked at the elixir and spoke with satisfaction.

"Don't embarrass me, my skills are no match for Lao Jun."

The Dog laughed, seeming to enjoy this quite a bit.

Chen Xi did not comment, picked up a purple rejuvenation pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

A pill of rejuvenation caused his flesh and blood to begin to grow.

New flesh continues to grow in the originally injured area.

Chen Xi nodded secretly. Judging from the progress, eating seven or eight pills should be able to recover most of the injuries caused by Kuimulang.

He himself was not seriously injured, but the main injuries were from the Dragon King and the Buddha who broke the precepts.

They are injured and also need Chen Xi to nourish them.

Since he had decided to follow his heart, then as his helpers, they must recover their strength as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you want to deal with the White Bone Bodhisattva, you will inevitably suffer a great loss.

Chen Xi waved his hand and was about to collect all those elixirs.

Unexpectedly, the thief Shen Hou appeared again. He threw a green gourd to Chen Xi and then rubbed his hands.

"Little brother, I wanted to use this gourd to fill some wine for you."

"But from what I see, you don't seem to like wine, so just use it to store these pills to prevent the medicinal properties from being lost."

"Hehe, this gourd is a great treasure!"

"Why don't you give me a pill and I'll tell you about its wonderful uses, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi burst out laughing.

This gourd has a spooky aura and does not look like an ordinary item. It is most likely made by a monkey, and I don’t know where it got it from.

He was not short of a few pills now, so he simply picked up a Purple Qi Rejuvenation Pill and threw it to Shen Hou.

Shen Hou took the pill and swallowed it whole.

He smacked his lips, savored the taste, and then continued.

"I found this gourd under a house called Fox Mansion."

"Tsk tsk, it's hidden very secretly."

"This gourd can be used to store some spiritual wine and elixirs. It is not easy to lose its spirituality and can be preserved for a long time. It is a good treasure."

"The most important thing is that there are five little devils detained here."

"They are quite obedient. You can use them to your advantage."

"If you learn other spells later, maybe they will be useful in other ways."

When Chen Xi heard this, he immediately had an idea and thought of one of the 72 Disha techniques, which was a magical skill called "moving things".

This method is also known as the Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth Technique, and it has many magical uses.

I think it was because the monkey in the cave recognized that I had changed into a fake shape, so he mentioned this to me.

"Brother Shenhou is so thoughtful this time, thank you very much..."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he noticed the wolf demons who were looking at him with hope on their faces.

His heart moved slightly, and he remembered the scene he had seen in Kuimulang's obsession before.

This time I came to the mortal world with orders to suppress the bones and slay the evil demons.

Now that everything is going well, it may not be impossible for me to complete this mission for Kuimulang.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi faced the wolf monsters and gently raised the Seven-Star Sword in his hand.

He tied a golden rope around his waist, turned around and walked towards the city gate of Baoxiang Kingdom, with lotus flowers blooming with every step.

"This trip will take us to White Tiger Ridge, where we will suppress the bones, slay the evil spirits, offer sacrifices to the Prince Consort Kuimu Star Lord, and Princess Baihua will kill..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Seven Star Sword and the Golden Rope glowed slightly, revealing their extraordinary powers.

"Ow—"

Under the gaze of the monsters, Chen Xi disappeared without a trace.

For a moment, the only sound was the long howls and roars of the wolf demons' cheering, which lingered for a long time.

The Monkey and the Dog watched Chen Xi leave from afar, nodded slightly, and smiled at each other.

The yellow sand is endless, and I have to go back to the past.

This time Chen Xi was not heading west, but east, and his mood was very different from before.

He never looked back along the way.

I don’t know whether it will be a good thing or a bad thing if I do what I want this time.

However, this action that came from the heart did help the Heart Sutra to improve a lot, and even the unattainable nose consciousness showed signs of perfection.

As Chen Xi swallowed pills and practiced healing arts to heal his injuries along the way, his condition improved rapidly.

As time passed, Chen Xi finally saw the landmark he had come from.

Ahead are dirty mountains and seas!

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and did not rush in.

Before facing the White Bone Bodhisattva, he still has a hidden danger to eliminate.

Chen Xi flipped his palm and took out something, which was the pass that Baihuaxiu had thrown to him earlier.

Before, he just took a quick look and did not examine it in detail.

Now that he was heading to Baihu Ridge, the lair of a great demon, he naturally had to figure out what the treasures in his hands were used for.

The pass document was covered in gold, and it was gleaming slightly.

Chen Xi's mind moved, and all the disasters he had suffered in the past slowly emerged in his mind.

Also emerging were pictures of the demons he had killed previously.

However, these pictures of monsters only introduced some of their origins and did not contain too detailed information.

But even so, this pass certificate is still a very practical treasure for him.

Chen Xi's eyes moved slightly and fell on the pass document.

The first difficulty: trapped in a ruined temple and killed by three monkeys.

The second difficulty: Feed the Buddha with your body and turn your flesh and blood into lotus.

The third difficulty: sitting in a well and looking at the sky, having foolish thoughts.

The fourth difficulty: Going to Dragon Gate and transforming into a dragon is a dangerous journey.

The fifth difficulty: Two monsters fight for food, they have the same roots.

The sixth difficulty: Greed is at work, and demons block the way.

The seventh difficulty: The cassock was stolen at night, and the Bodhisattva cried blood.

The eighth difficulty: The devil’s evil plot, the Buddhist’s son gets married.

The ninth difficulty: Ascending to the South Sky, the true devil is born.

The tenth difficulty: rumors and dreams of Buddha.

The eleventh difficulty: A monk was boiling stones, and a wind arose in the mountains.

The twelfth difficulty: rolling up the curtain with fierceness and drinking the weak water.

The Thirteenth Difficulty: Four women compete for a husband, but their mind is firm in Zen.

The fourteenth difficulty: The ginseng fruit tree, the secret conception of immortality.

The fifteenth difficulty: Escape from the shell, and have two sides: Buddha and devil.

The sixteenth difficulty: Buddha is in trouble and Yuan Chen shows his power.

The seventeenth difficulty: The precious elephant will help you get rid of your troubles and everything will go as you wish.

Finally, a seal was stamped on the pass document for Baoxiang Kingdom’s ordeal.

The imprint is old, as if it has been there for many years.

Chen Xi counted carefully and found that he had encountered seventeen disasters in total. There were indeed many disasters along the way.

He closed the pass and couldn't help but think deeply.

It is said that the disasters on the journey to obtain the scriptures were already predetermined.

Does that mean that once I complete these 81 difficulties, I can reach Lingshan?
But now, these things are still too far away from him.

Chen Xi knew very little at the time and had not even completed half of his journey west.

He had no idea what Lingshan looked like.

In this case, it is useless to think too much.

Chen Xi was sure that there were no traces of tricks left on the pass document, so he felt relieved and looked at the dirty mountains and sea in the distance.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew the stench of the dirty mountains and seas over.

Chen Xi quickly covered his mouth and nose and raised his hand to call out Bai Lian.

This white lotus is not usually useful for flying.

If it didn't have the magical function of purifying filth and keeping away from dust, Chen Xi might not have thought of it.

Chen Xi rode on a white lotus, and the scenery of dirty mountains and seas passed by below.

He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, trying his best to ignore the filth that was so disgusting to look at.

As soon as he crossed the dirty mountains and sea, he opened his clairvoyance and looked towards Baihu Ridge.

"Ok?"

Chen Xi suddenly exclaimed in surprise and frowned slightly.

The huge Baihu Ridge is now as silent as death.

In the forest of bones, the jagged bones and bone spirits that were once seen everywhere are now completely gone.

At first glance, it seemed as if all the demons in Baihu Ridge had disappeared.

However, the evil aura of Baihu Ridge has not diminished in the slightest, and is even worse than before.

"What is White Bone Bodhisattva doing?"

Chen Xi felt a little unsure, and always felt that Baihu Ridge was a little unusual now.

"Since you are here, why don't you come in and have a chat?"

suddenly!

The extremely ethereal voice of the White Bone Bodhisattva came faintly from White Tiger Ridge.

What a great White Bone Bodhisattva!
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes. Such sharp insight had never been revealed on the human skin paper before.

From this perspective, the fact that Master Thunderbolt was able to sneak into the White Bone Cave might have been the result of the White Bone Bodhisattva turning a blind eye or even secretly instructing him.

"Ah……"

"Well, I'd like to have a good chat with you this time."

Although Chen Xi knew that the road ahead was dangerous, he never regretted it.

Ever since he was trapped in this corrupt world, he seldom did things his way.

Every time he was forced or plotted against, and ended up taking the path that They wanted him to take.

Now he wants to take this risk for himself and for his opponent Kuimulang.

I don’t ask for anything else, I just want one thought to be clear!

"Rumble--"

Chen Xi swung his eight arms and threw out the nine-ring staff.

In an instant, the nine-ring tin staff shone brightly, smashing into the forest of bones and plowing out a smooth path.

He walked into the forest of bones step by step, unhindered.

Chen Xi had only walked for a short while when he saw evil spirit rising to the sky ahead and a chilly wind blowing at his bones.

The four sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death turned into invisible barriers to block the way and protect the White Bone Cave tightly.

If you don’t pass the four barriers of suffering, you will never be able to see the White Bone Bodhisattva.

This kind of means has never happened before.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the first obstacle blocking his way.

Life is like a gate of suffering, and there is a pure pond!
A chilly cold air gushed out.

A zombie wearing armor and with an aura comparable to that of a demon suddenly came into view.

Chen Xi took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the incorruptible bones!
The pale green eyes of the unchanging bones were filled with ferocity.

At this moment, it showed no intention of retreating in the face of Chen Xi, and it seemed as if there was something wrong with its mind.

"The Bodhisattva has ordered that anyone who trespasses through the Four Bitter Gates will be killed without mercy!"

Before Chen Xi could reply, the nine-ring staff made a clanging sound and the Buddha's light shone brightly!
Buhuagu roared angrily, and the cold air from the pure pond was like a group of dancing snakes, clinging to his body, causing his aura to surge.

When Chen Xi saw this scene, he understood.

I don't know what tricks the White Bone Bodhisattva used on the demon leaders who were guarding the Four Passes of Bitterness.

Now, he can actually rely on this pass to forcibly possess the supernatural powers of some of the great demons.

but……

In Chen Xi's eyes, a flash of colored glaze shone by.

A flash of red karmic fire suddenly emerged, carrying with it his anger at the White Bone Bodhisattva for playing tricks on him!

Once this fire appeared, it melted the ice and frost and dispelled the cold.

The nine-ring tin staff was swung out instantly, blasting away Buhua Gu like a whirlwind, turning his armor into shatters all over the ground.

It's just a trifling skill, not worthy of being shown on the stage.

Ever since Chen Xi fought with Kuimulang, his skills and vision have changed a lot.

If he could get an incorruptible beast that wasn't even a big demon to block his way, Chen Xi would have to find a place to slit his throat and reincarnate.

Buhuagu was hit by the Nine-Ring Tin Staff and lost his strength to resist on the spot.

Chen Xi stepped forward and crushed the boneless head with one foot.

He was just about to throw out the human skin paper and eat up all its flesh and blood.

However, he did not expect that his body, which had not yet dissolved into bones, would suddenly break apart and disappear along with the pure pond.

Chen Xi felt something in his heart and looked up suddenly, his eyes shining with a glassy light.

I saw that within the four gates of suffering, old age, illness and death, the evil spirit suddenly soared!

What a White Bone Bodhisattva! What a cautious plan!
A smile appeared on Chen Xi's lips, and murderous intent rose in his heart.

Then let me show you how to break all your plans one by one!
