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

Chapter 226 The Mysterious Taoist, Five Ghosts Moving

"Cowardly Bodhisattva?"

Chen Xi had a strange look on his face and subconsciously glanced at the Wuji Kingdom.

After becoming Shancai Tongzi, Red Boy's temper has not improved at all...

At the same time, the death prophecy on the human skin continues.

[I frowned, looked at Red Boy standing on the Thunderbolt Five Elements Car, and opened my mouth to speak.]

[However, at this moment, a Taoist priest with an immortal look spoke from the side.]

[“Nephew, this bald donkey is full of gods, Buddhas and immortals. I think he must be no simple man!”]

[“Look, the monk’s robes and the staff in his hand, don’t they look familiar to me?”]

[As soon as these words were spoken, Red Boy really looked over.]

[Red Boy took a good look at my cassock and staff, and immediately became furious.]

[“Oh my god, I almost didn’t recognize you because of the smoke.”]

[“I was worried that I couldn’t find you anywhere, but you came to me on your own initiative!”]

[“Tang Monk, eat my Samadhi True Fire!”]

[Red Boy said nothing, clenched his fist, and punched his own nose.]

[My pupils shrank slightly, and I wanted to escape without even thinking.]

[Unexpectedly, the Taoist who had instigated Red Boy earlier took advantage of my attention being on Red Boy and attacked him.]

[The Taoist threw out a golden hook, which firmly caught my shoulder blade.]

[I am now an immortal, how could I be afraid of such means? ]

[I shook my body, and the golden hook flew away immediately.]

[However, in just a few moments of delay, smoke burst out of Red Boy's nostrils, and he blinked his eyes and spewed fire from his mouth.]

【Samadhi True Fire! 】

[The Thunderbolt Five Elements Chariot is ablaze with flames, red flames, and smoke.]

[Really…]

[The sky is filled with blazing fire, and the ground is covered with red. 】

[It is like a wheel of fire flying up and down, or like charcoal dust dancing east and west.]

[The oncoming Samadhi True Fire is extremely powerful! ]

[Instantly, I realized that my brocade robes could not withstand the burning fire.]

【When I saw this, I immediately mobilized the might of the Dragon King to summon the wind and rain, hoping to extinguish the Samadhi True Fire.】

【However, it turns out that I was a little too fanciful. 】

[The wind summoned by the Dragon King is not the Samadhi wind after all, but just ordinary wind, and the rain summoned by him is just ordinary water.]

[Under such circumstances, Red Boy's Samadhi Fire was not extinguished, but added fuel to the fire, burning more and more fiercely.]

[After failing in my first attack, I'm planning to try again.]

【But now it's too late! 】

[I didn't make any further preparations beforehand, so I was completely unprepared for the fierce and unstoppable Samadhi True Fire.]

[I was caught off guard...I died. 】

[The true fire of Samadhi burns in my body, endlessly and cannot be extinguished in the slightest.]

[Even if I have great spiritual attainments, I will still suffer the burning of the Samadhi True Fire...]

The death prophecy of the human skin paper came to an abrupt end here.

"What a fierce Samadhi True Fire!"

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was not surprised or afraid.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect and there is always someone better.

He, the man in the human skin paper, always dies tragically due to various accidents.

And this is simply because the result simulated on the human skin paper should have been death and failure.

If the person on the human skin paper was not dead, how could he appear on the human skin paper?

It's just the difference between dying early or late...

The content on the human skin paper can only be used as a reference and cannot be regarded as an established fact.

However, to a certain extent, this also means that there is a certain probability that he will fall into Red Boy's trap and die at his hands.

Therefore, although Chen Xi was not afraid, he was still very cautious.

"It seems that in the eyes of the human skin paper, I am not strong enough to deal with the Samadhi True Fire."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have died in this way, to serve as a warning to me."

"Are we really going to do as Youji said and take a detour to the Black Water River to get help?"

Chen Xi stroked the human skin paper and thought carefully.

The Vairocana Five Buddha Crown radiates the light of wisdom.

"I don't know where that Taoist came from, to the point where he could actually order Red Boy to attack me."

"And his words seemed to be quite malicious towards me."

"Nephew..."

"Does Red Boy have an uncle in Journey to the West?"

Chen Xi silently kept the Taoist in mind and turned to think about the Wuji Kingdom.

"Manjusri Bodhisattva, Red Boy, Rooster, Taoist..."

"It's a small country like Wuji, but it's quite lively."

"I'm afraid the water is not shallow. It might be coming for me again."

Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but shake his head. He was helpless and had no choice.

At the moment, he does not have the ability to escape this so-called destiny.

Even if you know there is a pit ahead, you have to jump down anyway.

Otherwise, it would be going against the will of heaven and would bring disaster upon oneself.

Just like what happened to Huangfengling, Liushahe took the initiative to come to the door.

If he had obeyed fate and not delayed as long as he could, the Quicksand River might not have deteriorated, and the Toad Spirit might not have died...

Of course, this is just his guess.

"Forget it, let's go find Miss Chicken first."

"At worst, we can just bypass the Black Chicken Kingdom and go to the Black Water River to see the so-called Dragon King."

"It's not like we haven't done this kind of thing before in the White Bone Cave."

"Disaster is inevitable, it will come sooner or later."

"And if I remember correctly, the White Bone Bodhisattva once seemed to have mentioned the Black Water River."

"That place seems to have a close relationship with Lord Long..."

When Chen Xi thought of this, he made up his mind and suppressed his emotions for the time being.

At the same time, the gilded blood words on the human skin paper slowly spread out.

In an instant, a piece of memory, neither long nor short, appeared in the back of Chen Xi's mind.

He seemed to have fought a battle with the Red Boy in real life.

The fierce power of the Samadhi True Fire made him even more fearful.

"Five Ghosts Moving Technique..."

Chen Xi murmured softly, obviously having obtained the result of his practice in the human skin paper.

"Fortunately, this time I did gain something..." The gloom on his face faded a little, and he secretly rejoiced.

Chen Xi flipped his hand and took out the Five Ghosts Gourd.

But as his mind moved, the Five Ghosts Gourd began to shake violently.

"Whoosh!"

Five ghost boys jumped out of the gourd and rolled on the ground.

They stared at Chen Xi with numb and lifeless eyes.

"First try the magic power on the Shen Monkey."

A thought flashed through Chen Xi's mind.

Then, he began to perform the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, muttering something.

"The sky is vast, the earth is vast, where are the five ghosts?"

"The five ghosts are responsible for the wealth of the human world, bringing wealth to the east, west, south, north and center."

"Money comes every day, and money goes away if there is money."

"Go! Bring me the wine from Shen Hou's hand..."

The five ghost boys received the order and their bodies gradually faded away.

They squeaked and made sounds.

One by one, they stretched out their hands in front of them, grabbing or pulling...

This situation is just like these five ghost boys playing tug-of-war with something invisible.

After about three or five breaths!

Chen Xi then saw a jar of wine gradually emerging from the hands of the five ghosts.

"Wow!"

Wu Gui made some meaningless noises and then handed over the jar of wine.

Chen Xi reached out to take it, put it to his nose and took a light sniff.

His eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't help but take a sip.

"Hmm! Not bad, not bad..."

"The wine jar is still warm and the aroma is fragrant. It looks like it was just brewed by Shen Hou."

Chen Xi was quite satisfied with this. He nodded repeatedly and praised generously.

If Master Pili had learned this method at Baihu Ridge.

Who knows, it might be possible to steal the white lotus from the White Bone Bodhisattva.

However, it is also possible that it was the White Bone Bodhisattva, who followed the traces of the Five Ghosts and slapped the Thunderbolt Master to death with one slap.

Of course, Chen Xi did not practice the Five Ghosts Moving Technique in order to steal, so he did not take this point seriously.

What he really cared about was the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, the ability to travel between two places and transport things to each other.

Only if Chen Xi masters this method can Baoxiang Kingdom make full use of its base camp.

At that time, when he was traveling west, if he wanted to ask for some elixir to eat, he could just ask the Five Ghosts to get it from the Dog.

However, the specific details need to be discussed with Monkey and Dog later...

And just as Chen Xi was thinking about it in his heart.

At this moment, Shen Monkey ran in cursing.

He saw the jar of wine in Chen Xi's hand at a glance, and his face suddenly turned dark.

"Good boy, I knew it was you who cast the spell!"

"I never thought that I, a thief, would be pecked in the eye by a wild goose."

"This is the fine wine I just brewed... Thousand Days Drunk!"

"I didn't even have time to drink, and you took away the prize."

Shen Hou snatched the wine jar, his face full of pain.

Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

For a moment, even the depression of having just died at the hands of Red Boy disappeared.

"Look at you, you're so stingy. Is it a big deal if I just drink a few sips of wine?"

"No wonder that guy Xu Gou always says that you only take in and never spend, and you are always stingy."

When Shen Hou heard this, he disagreed.

"That scoundrel knows nothing. He is not as good as me!"

"Speaking of which, little brother, how did you suddenly learn the Five Ghosts Moving Technique?"

"We just talked about this last night. Don't tell me you can learn a magical skill in less than a day..."

Chen Xi smiled and did not comment on this. He only said that he was quite insightful.

Although Shen Hou was curious, he did not feel strange. Instead, he believed it.

After all, Chen Xi is the man of destiny as described by Dou Mu, so it is normal for him to be different from ordinary people.

"I will continue my journey westwards soon. Please call the dog to come and discuss how to use the Five Ghosts Moving Technique."

"Then I will teach you the Five Ghosts Moving Technique."

"If you can learn it, it will be much more convenient."

Chen Xi stopped chatting nonsense with Shen Hou and started talking about business instead.

"What? You're leaving today, little brother?"

"Didn't you say that we should rest for a day and set out again tomorrow?"

Shen Hou was a little surprised to see Chen Xi so anxious.

Chen Xi could only smile bitterly at this. He also wanted to rest and practice here for one more day.

It’s a pity that the Rooster is still waiting for him to rescue him.

There is also a Manjushri Bodhisattva in the Kingdom of Black Chicken, who may be cooked into soup.

If he was like the human skin paper, and practiced for one day before going to the Black Chicken Kingdom, it would actually be in time.

However, Chen Xi had to take a detour this time and go to the Black Water River to seek help and find a way to put out the fire.

In this case, he must set off early.

Otherwise, if the Black Water River had been delayed for a little longer, Manjushri Bodhisattva would have become meat soup.

Chen Xi still needs Manjusri Bodhisattva to resolve his doubts, how can he let Him die so easily...

"Oh, that's all."

"If you get tired in the future, you can always come back to Baoxiang Kingdom. You are the king here."

The Monkey patted Chen Xi, then wandered off to call the Dog.

Chen Xi stood where he was, with the words Shen Hou had just spoken still echoing in his ears.

When you are tired, you can go back to Baoxiang Kingdom...

He said nothing and just shook his head.

In the blink of an eye, the sun sets over the west mountain.

After Chen Xi discussed the Five Ghosts Moving Spell with Monkey and Dog, they left Baoxiang Kingdom with the farewell of the monsters.

He walked towards the sunset without looking back.

Behind him, the monkey, the dog, and the golden-armored wolf demon were all standing under the city, watching and seeing him off.

On the wall of Baoxiang Kingdom, there is a gilded statue of a god that has not been completely polished clean. It sits cross-legged on a lotus platform, pointing to the sky and the earth, shining brightly.

Indistinctly, one can make out that the statue is Chen Xi's face!
