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

Chapter 237: Destiny Obstacle, Manjusri Bodhisattva! (6k!)
"What the hell is this?!"

Red Boy was horrified, and for the first time, panic appeared on his face.

He kept twisting his body, trying to break free from the golden ropes.

However, even if Red Boy tried his best, it was still of no avail.

Chen Xi said nothing as he quietly dispersed the Five Yins that were a great burden to him. He then recalled the Seven-Star Sword, intending to behead Red Boy and free him.

As the saying goes, delay leads to change!

No one knows what other abilities Red Boy has.

Chen Xi did not forget that Red Boy might have some connection with Chechi Kingdom.

The Immortal Ruyi can even ascend to heaven and come back to life.

If Red Boy really defected to Chechi Kingdom, he would have used similar methods.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi immediately pinched his sword finger and mobilized the Seven Star Sword again.

Ever since this sword fell into his hands, he has been invincible.

The Seven-Star Sword was originally a treasure used by Taishang Laojun to subdue demons and monsters.

It is absolutely perfect to use it to deal with the devil Red Boy at this moment.

"go with!"

As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, the sound of swords echoed through the sky.

The Seven-Star Sword emitted a cold light and headed straight for Red Boy's head.

Wherever it goes, nothing can stop it!

"My life is over!"

Red Boy's scalp tingled, and he suddenly felt the star of death shining brightly.

Without even thinking, he forced himself to puff up his chest and blew out another stream of Samadhi True Fire.

However, with the sudden death of the Thunderbolt Five Elements Chariot, and the golden rope binding him, his Samadhi True Fire was no longer as strong as before.

The Samadhi Fire is blazing red, and the fire burns the sky.

The Seven-Star Sword is cold and murderous.

Red Boy can block the first day of the month, but he cannot block the fifteenth day.

The Seven Star Sword collided with the Samadhi True Fire, and despite obstacles, it still moved forward.

"Shh!"

The sword arrives before the Qi does.

Red Boy's head immediately drooped and blood gushed out.

Looking closely, it turned out that it was his neck, most of which had been cut off by the Seven-Star Sword.

But surprisingly, even though most of his neck was cut off, Red Boy was still not dead!
"If we don't surrender now, when will we?"

Chen Xi's eyes flashed when he saw this, and he immediately wanted to pursue the victory and leave Red Boy here completely.

But at this moment...

"Road to Road, very Avenue."

"A name is a name, but it is not an ordinary name..."

Suddenly, Chen Xi heard the sound of preaching.

Just like when Ruyi Zhenxian was killed before, a foul and foul air suddenly descended upon this place.

This is... not good!
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and his face changed drastically.

He quickly raised his eyes and looked at Red Boy.

However, what he worried about still happened.

Red Boy...is gone!

Chen Xi was just stunned for a moment, and Red Boy, like the Ruyi Immortal, disappeared right under his nose!

Not only that, even his golden rope disappeared along with Red Boy.

"Great, great, great, what a great 'Three Pure Ones' of Chechi Country!"

Chen Xi gritted his teeth, not knowing that the so-called "Three Pure Ones" had taken action again.

This is true for Ruyi Zhenxian, and so is Red Boy...

They rescued him time and again right under his nose as if no one was around. Did they think he had no temper?
Chen Xi suddenly became furious and was about to look towards Che Chiguo.

But at this moment, the Vairocana Five Buddha Crown suddenly emitted the light of wisdom.

In an instant, Chen Xi felt as if cold water was poured over him and he came to his senses in an instant.

He...what's wrong with him?
Chen Xi frowned, realizing that his emotions seemed to be a little off.

Ever since he stepped into the Kingdom of Black Chicken, he seemed to be always uncontrollably irritable and impulsive, as if he had fallen into the obstacle of knowledge and views again.

Using the Five Yin Karma Fire to kill the Immortal Ruyi, if it were him in the past, he would definitely not do such a losing business.

Although Ruyi Zhenxian is powerful, the Golden Rope and the Seven-Star Sword are enough to deal with him.

Why would he want to end the battle quickly, forcibly consume himself, and release the five yin karma fire?
The same goes for dealing with Red Boy. With the Northern Renkui Water in hand, assisted by the golden rope and embroidered yellow silk, it should be easy to take him down.

Why was I hesitant to use the northern Renkui water because I was worried about Red Boy and setting fire?
He even forgot about the embroidered yellow silk that could separate the sky and the earth.

Now that Red Boy has been rescued, his goal should have been achieved, so there is no need to kill him all.

Why was he so angry that he even thought of using his clairvoyance to provoke the 'Three Pure Ones' of Chechi Kingdom again?

Is this really what he meant by such an unwise idea?

You know, just by taking a peek at the Three Pure Ones of Chechi State, he almost got into trouble.

Why do people still dare to commit crimes knowingly, just to show off their power for a while?
The 'Three Pure Ones' of Chechi Country were able to rescue people right under his nose, while he himself couldn't even find any trace.

This has already shown that the 'Three Pure Ones' of Chechi Kingdom are by no means comparable to ordinary demons.

If he were to provoke the Three Pure Ones at this time and create a complete grudge against them, wouldn't he cause trouble again when he crossed the Chechi Kingdom?
A series of self-questions keep popping up.

At this moment, Chen Xi only felt a chill on his back and a numbness on his scalp, which was extremely terrifying when he thought about it carefully.

This series of abnormal behavior of mine can only indicate one thing...

He seems to be affected by "fate" again!
Only the so-called destiny can lead him on the right path without him realizing it.

Once upon a time, after Chen Xi left the ruined temple, he was always controlled by the "fate" and embarked on the journey to the west.

After seeing his mother in the opera theater, this feeling gradually faded, allowing him to embark on the path he wanted to take.

For example, in Baoxiang Kingdom, he looked back to the east, killed the White Bone Bodhisattva, and controlled the supreme immortal fetus.

This was the first time that Chen Xi did not follow the will of heaven.

And now...he was actually beginning to be influenced and dominated again without even realizing it.

This feeling of being out of control made Chen Xi tremble a little.

If he fails to wake up this time, I'm afraid that more disasters will come.

Chen Xi was familiar with Journey to the West, so he knew very well what the consequences would be if he killed Red Boy.

The Great Sage merely handed Red Boy to Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, and then he was determined to fight to the death with Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan.

And since he wanted to kill Red Boy, how could the Bull Demon King let him go?
What's more, he and Red Boy had no grudges against each other, so why did he do such a cruel thing?

Chen Xi bears the title of the man of destiny, and he is already paying off his debt from the Journey to the West.

But what he did now was making the debt grow bigger and the hatred more intense.

Could it be that he really wants to learn from the White Bone Bodhisattva, who said not to kill and never-ending hatred?
Chen Xi took a deep breath and recited the Heart Sutra silently without stopping.

After a while, he calmed down and returned to his previous calmness even when faced with a huge crisis.

Now that it has happened, there is no point in thinking too much.

Although Red Boy escaped, his goal was achieved.

The only pity is probably that the golden rope was lost.

But if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, I'm doomed.

Compared to the Golden Rope, Chen Xi prefers the Seven-Star Sword.

Chen Xi was comforting himself in his heart, and at this moment, a voice came to his ears...

"Buddha, you have suffered..."

"Ok?"

Chen Xi recognized the sound as coming from the octagonal glazed well that was filled with the aroma of meat.

His eyebrows suddenly raised and his eyes lit up.

Manjushri Bodhisattva is still alive?

Chen Xi approached without saying anything.

However, although Red Boy has been defeated, the Samadhi Fire he left here has not yet been extinguished.

Especially the Samadhi True Fire near the Octagonal Glazed Well is extremely hot.

The Three Thousand Weak Waters that protected Chen Xi were already in danger due to the fierce battle just now.

At this moment, being burned by the Samadhi True Fire, he was on the verge of collapse.

"That's all..."

"It seems that this northern Renkui water cannot be saved..."

Chen Xi sighed helplessly, and then threw out the Northern Renkui Water.

This time, he was no longer stingy and was reluctant to use the holy water.

Now a fire is raging in the Kingdom of Wuji, and only the Renkui water from the north can put it out.

If you are still reluctant at this time, it would be a bit unreasonable.

But I saw that drop of northern Renkui water spinning around.

In an instant, the water droplets turned into a long river, falling continuously on the Kingdom of Wuji.

The northern part represents Ren and Kui water. Ren is Yang water and Kui is Yin water. The combination of the two brings together both hardness and softness, and when Yin and Yang combine, all things revive.

The Samadhi True Fire, which had lost its master, was quickly extinguished by the continuous pouring of Renkui water from the north.

The originally devastated Wuji Kingdom suddenly regained its vitality.

Green sprouts began to grow again on the charred land.

The red-hot octagonal glazed well also cooled down at this moment, and the boiling water in it gradually calmed down.

Black chicken abroad.

When Miss Chicken saw this, she was overjoyed.

There was a terrifying noise inside before, and she was still worried about her benefactor.

Now that the fire has gone out, everyone knows that the benefactor has won.

Without even a second thought, she was ready to fly away.

But Miss Chicken only flew a few feet away.

Suddenly a voice came over!

"The Chechi Kingdom invites the Rooster God. Your old friend has been waiting for you for a long time..."

……

The Kingdom of Black Chicken, the Octagonal Glazed Well.

Chen Xi stood at the mouth of the well, looking at the fragrant broth below, feeling hesitant.

It’s already smelling good. Is Manjushri Bodhisattva really okay?

Could it be that he was hallucinating just now?
"Buddha, why are you hesitating?"

The voice from the well, perhaps knowing what Chen Xi was thinking, spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi no longer hesitated, holding the water-repellent beads, and jumped into the well.

"thump!"

There was a loud bang and water splashed everywhere.

Although Chen Xi looks thin, he actually carries all living beings on his back and his size is astonishing.

Once it enters the water, it sinks quickly.

After about three or five breaths, Chen Xi fell to the bottom of the well.

It was pitch black in the well, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

The water temperature here is still scorching hot even though the Samadhi Fire has been extinguished.

If it were an ordinary little demon, it would have been cooked long ago.

clairvoyance!
Chen Xi opened his bloodshot, red eyes and looked around.

Perhaps because of the smoke and fire, his eyes suffered considerable trauma.

Many things began to become unclear.

But if it is only used for visual purposes, it is not a big problem.

In an instant, the scenery at the bottom of the well came into view.

"This is?"

Chen Xi frowned and found many bones at the bottom of the well.

These skeletons don't look like humans, nor do they look like ordinary monsters.

Although it is scattered, it can still be seen that it is a dragon bone.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to have been dead for some time.

How could there be a dragon bone in this well?
and many more……

Chen Xi seemed to remember something and his eyes moved slightly.

If he remembered correctly, there really was a dragon in the Kingdom of Wuji, named... King Jinglong.

But how did the Well Dragon King die here and become a pile of bones?
This world in the well is free from disasters and catastrophes. Even if demons and monsters corrupt the world, I think they can't affect this place, right?
Chen Xi began to feel suspicious and looked deeper.

But there stood an archway with the words "Crystal Palace" written on it.

There seems to be a faint Buddha's light inside, and I think the Bodhisattva is inside.

Chen Xi calmed himself down and suppressed his thoughts.

There's no point in overthinking right now.

Since Manjushri Bodhisattva is not dead, just ask Him if you have any doubts.

I just hope that this Manjusri Bodhisattva is really Manjusri Bodhisattva, and not some demon replacing him...

Chen Xi did not hesitate. He swam over and pushed open the door of the Crystal Palace.

"Buddha, you are finally here."

A voice full of compassion rang out.

This voice seemed to have an inexplicable power, which instantly calmed Chen Xi's slightly anxious heart.

Chen Xi's always tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment, and he felt quite relaxed.

A feeling as if I had found my backbone came naturally.

"Buddha……"

Chen Xi raised his head and opened his mouth to speak.

However, everything that came into his sight made him stunned!

All I saw were dense chains all over the Crystal Palace.

These chains are extremely heavy, and just one look at them makes people feel depressed.

And at the center of these chains, there is a head!
No neck, no body...

His eyes were slightly closed, and he had five knots on his head, looking lifeless.

At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary dead head.

"Manjusri Bodhisattva, what are you doing..."

Chen Xi was shocked. He obviously didn't expect that the Manjushri Bodhisattva he wanted to save had only a head left.

Can a person survive without a head?

As an expert in this field, Chen Xi has the answer in his mind.

He recovered quickly and didn't make a fuss about it.

"Don't be surprised, Buddhist..."

"It is difficult for me to welcome the Buddha in my current state. I can only ask the Buddha to take a seat on my own."

The Bodhisattva head never opened his eyes, nor did he speak, but a voice rang in Chen Xi's ears.

"Amitabha……"

"I am honored to be here. I wonder if Manjusri Bodhisattva..."

"Why is your head hanging in a deep well without any cause?"

Chen Xi couldn't help being curious and asked immediately.

"Ha ha……"

"The world is subject to disasters, and everyone is subject to calamities. Even Bodhisattvas are not immune to such disasters."

"I was betrayed by a blue lion, and my head was bitten off. I am trapped here."

"If the Buddha had not arrived in time, he would have been eaten by the demons."

The voice of Manjushri Bodhisattva is extremely ethereal, like that of a god.

"Blue Lion?"

Chen Xi hesitated and asked back.

"The blue lion is my mount..."

"I castrated him because of the Journey to the West."

"So I hold a grudge and bear a grudge."

"He then secretly fled to the lower world, and together with the White Elephant and the Great Peng, committed a heinous crime at Lion Camel Ridge."

"I will let him go for good measure because of our old friendship. I will punish him by banishing him from the lower world forever."

"However, the world is in great calamity, and demons and monsters are rising in this chaotic world."

"That blue lion had evil intentions and ate my Dharma image when I was not prepared."

"Only a head remains, trapped at the bottom of a dark well, never to see the light of day."

Manjushri Bodhisattva's voice was free of any emotion.

Chen Xi merely asked back a question, and He explained the whole cause and effect clearly.

"I see. It's really hard for the Bodhisattva."

Chen Xi frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt something was strange.

After careful consideration, he remembered Lingji Bodhisattva of Huangfeng Ridge.

It seems that Lingji Bodhisattva twisted Shi Gan Dang's head off because of Shi Gan Dang's unpreparedness.

Now, Manjusri Bodhisattva has also become enlightened because of this...

The wisdom light of the Vairocana Five Buddha Crown flickers.

Chen Xi shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.

"Bodhisattva, I have three purposes for coming here."

"One is that he was entrusted by the Rooster to rescue the Bodhisattva."

"Second, I am confused and would like to ask the Bodhisattva to answer my questions and resolve my doubts."

"Third, Prince Moang of the Black Water River is now being harassed by demons and is suffering from the pain of two heads fighting for his body. He wants the Bodhisattva to help him."

As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, the voice of Manjushri Bodhisattva quickly rang in his ears.

"Since the Buddhist disciples have doubts in their hearts, I will solve them if I can."

"As for the trouble of Prince Moang's two heads fighting for his body, I can do nothing about it..."

"This……"

Chen Xi obviously did not expect that even Manjushri Bodhisattva could not solve Prince Mo'ang's troubles.

"My Dharma body is now destroyed, my power is gone, and only my head remains to survive."

"If you can't even save yourself, how can you save Prince Moang?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva's tone remained unchanged, but there was a hint of bitterness in it.

Chen Xi's face darkened and he suddenly felt the situation was difficult.

It seems that Manjushri Bodhisattva's condition is worse than he imagined.

I'm afraid there is no hope of relying on Manjushri Bodhisattva to save Prince Mo'ang.

If possible, he really didn't want Prince Mo'ang to die.

After all, Prince Moang was the first guy who could talk to him and was kind to him.

If he fails to defeat the Black Water River God, this demon-ridden world may face another disaster...

Chen Xi's thoughts were in a state of confusion and he was in a very bad mood.

However, at this moment, Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly changed the subject.

"But there is no need for you to worry..."

"Although I can't save Prince Moang, I know where to cure these two heads fighting..."

"Oh? Please tell me clearly, Bodhisattva!"

Chen Xi was delighted when he heard this and spoke immediately.

"Chechiguo Sanzhuguan!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke concisely and to the point, uttering only six words.

In an instant, Chen Xi felt as if struck by lightning and his scalp went numb.

Why is it Che Chiguo again?
What are these three turbidities?
Isn’t it Sanqing Temple?

Chen Xi's face looked grim, and a feeling of helplessness suddenly surged into his heart.

What a coincidence!

Everything he had experienced since he left Baoxiang Kingdom seemed to be leading him to Chechi Kingdom.

Chen Xi was quite familiar with this feeling of being unable to hide or avoid.

He didn't even have to guess, he knew it must be destiny again!

What Chen Xi found hard to accept was that even Manjushri Bodhisattva asked him to go to Chechi Kingdom.

Could it be that this so-called "destiny" will affect even such an existence?
Chen Xi's expression was complicated and he spoke with difficulty.

"I wonder if Manjusri Bodhisattva has any knowledge of the so-called Three Turbidities of Chechi Kingdom?"

Knowledge, understanding, understanding, understanding, etc.

Regardless of whether he goes or not, it will always be a good idea to find out the situation of Che Chiguo first.

"The Sanzhuo Temple in Chechi State was originally the Sanqing Temple, which worshipped the three celestial masters: Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing."

"It was originally built by three monsters: Tiger Power, Sheep Power, and Deer Power."

“After the Journey to the West, the place was demolished and turned into a temple.”

"And the world was in great calamity, demons and devils were roiling the world, and everything was in chaos."

"There was a great demon that brought chaos to the government, destroyed the Buddha and burned the scriptures, cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and rebuilt Taoist temples."

"They call themselves the Three Pure Ones, but in reality they are the Three Turbid Ones."

"Although I don't know the origin of that great demon, I know that he is proficient in the Five Qis Converging to the Origin and the Three Flowers Converging to the Top of the Head."

"The medical prescription that Buddhist disciples are looking for may lie in this Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head."

Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke eloquently and generously.

Compared with those mysterious existences that Chen Xi encountered, this one is countless times better.

"Three turbidities, three flowers gathered at the top of the head..."

Chen Xi pondered over it carefully, muttering to himself, the strange feeling in his heart never dissipated.

As he expected, the "Three Pure Ones" of Chechi Kingdom turned out to be demons impersonating them.

At the same time, he suddenly noticed something strange.

"Speaking of Manjusri Bodhisattva, weren't you trapped in the well when the great catastrophe was about to begin, and lost all your great power?"

"How do you know about Chechiguo Sanzhuo's affairs?"

Chen Xi spoke suspiciously, his tone full of confusion.

"Hahaha……"

"Buddha is so suspicious, could it be possible that I would harm you?"

"Although I have lost all my great power, I still have some magical powers. Otherwise, how could I have lasted so long under Red Boy's fire?"

"Buddhists should not let the turbid world affect their path and give rise to false doubts..."

Manjushri Bodhisattva laughed heartily, and his tone remained unchanged, making people feel like spring breeze.

"Being suspicious?"

When Chen Xi heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Yeah, what happened to me?
I am not so suspicious on weekdays, but why do I become suspicious of everything for no reason when I see Manjushri Bodhisattva?
Could it be that I have been influenced by 'fate' again and started to have wild thoughts?

Chen Xi quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

At this time, for unknown reasons, the light of wisdom of the Vairocana Five Buddha Crown became extremely dim.

"Thank you, Bodhisattva, for awakening this poor monk..."

"I don't know how I can save you, Bodhisattva?"

Chen Xi clasped his hands together and spoke.

The most urgent task right now is to rescue Manjushri Bodhisattva, rather than letting our imagination run wild.

Otherwise, it would not be a good idea to keep Manjushri Bodhisattva's head tied up with chains.

The doubts in his heart could be solved sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.

"Buddha, please listen to me..."

"Do you see these chains around here?"

"Buddhists only need to break these chains one by one and pull them apart."

"Then I will be freed and see the light of day again."

Manjushri Bodhisattva's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but plain, ethereal and pleasant to the ear.

Even though he was about to escape, he did not show any emotion at all.

He is worthy of being Manjushri Bodhisattva, worthy of being a person with great supernatural powers!
Chen Xi sighed in his heart, and without hesitation pulled a chain nearby.

Without even looking, he pulled hard!
All of a sudden, there was a sharp buzzing sound.

"Whoo-"

Chen Xi couldn't help but cover his ears and felt dizzy.

In an instant, the chain was covered with cracks and almost broke.

"Om…Ma…Ni…Pa…Mi…Hum!"

Faint Buddhist sounds emanated from these chains.

Chen Xi glanced around and only then discovered that these chains were actually engraved with densely packed Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures.
