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

Chapter 272 King and Queen

"who?"

Chen Xi reacted instantly and looked over.

But he looked left and right and didn't see anyone.

Seeing this, Chen Xi's mind moved, and in an instant he arrived at the location where the sound was made.

That is a branch of the peach tree...

Chen Xi stepped on it and glanced over it.

Soon, he discovered the clues.

I saw three peach blossoms blooming on the withered and twisted branches of the peach tree.

There are already three fruits inside, which are about to mature.

These two peaches are as big as washbasins. Although they still look green, they are not impossible to pick.

Of course, if it were just this, it would not be enough to attract Chen Xi.

"Why does this peach look like this?"

Chen Xi's eyebrows twitched and he moved closer to take a closer look.

But those two peaches actually had human faces!

One is shaped like an old man, and the other is shaped like an old woman.

Their expressions of fear sent chills down one's spine.

“It actually has a spirit?”

Chen Xi's telepathy moved as a result, and he actually felt the existence of spirits from the two human-faced peaches.

In an instant, his expression turned gloomy.

At this moment, he knew that these two human-faced peaches were once living people.

But now, Chen Long has used some evil method to cultivate them into peaches on the tree.

The soul is trapped in the peaches, and can never be freed from it in life after life. It can only remain in fear, loneliness and pain for a long time.

This is somewhat similar to what happened to the Dragon King of the Well before.

You have to know that the Well Dragon King is not a mortal after all. Even so, he could not endure this kind of pain in the end, and his mind was worn out by the pain and became confused.

Judging from the aura of their spirits, the people who turned into these two peaches should be just two mortals.

Chen Long actually let two mortals endure this kind of pain. What kind of hatred and resentment is this?
To say that he has absolutely no conscience is probably not an exaggeration.

Chen Xi took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger.

At the same time, the two peaches seemed to sense something.

"Holy..."

"monk……"

Faint shouting came from the peaches.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xi hurriedly leaned over to listen.

But no matter how hard he listened, he couldn't hear the sound of the peaches.

Chen Xi frowned, his mind moving.

He has a clear mind!
In a moment, Chen Xi felt the...heart of these two peaches.

The two peaches became excited, and fragmented voices came into Chen Xi's mind.

"Holy monk, you are back..."

"Kill us, ask the holy monk to kill us..."

There is no desire to live, only the desire to die!
"You are?"

Chen Xi was silent for a while, then he used his telepathy to convey his doubts.

The two peaches kept asking for death, and most of their thoughts were just useless nonsense.

However, there were still some scattered voices, which allowed Chen Xi to gradually figure out the ins and outs of the matter...

It turns out that the poor people trapped by these two peaches were actually the former king and queen of Chechi Kingdom!
That’s right, he was the king of Chechi Kingdom who respected Taoism and demoted monks to slavery.

In the past, there was a battle of magic in Chechi Kingdom. The three great immortals Huli, Luli and Yangli were defeated by the man of destiny.

After the Tianming people left, the Chechi Kingdom changed from respecting Taoism to respecting Buddhism.

But the good times didn’t last long…

Perhaps because they had offended Buddhism in the past, the Chechi Kingdom suffered punishment from heaven.

Since then, there has not been a drop of rain in Chechi Kingdom.

Originally, when the imperial teacher was around, he could still pray for rain.

Now that the national teacher is dead, the Buddhist monks are only interested in making money and are unwilling to serve the king who once enslaved them. Even if the monks are forcibly captured to chant sutras and pray for blessings, it is of no use.

For a while, the Chechi Kingdom was filled with starving people and the people were living in misery.

At this moment, an old dragon descended from the sky!

That old dragon claimed to be the God of Heaven, one of the Twelve Yuan Chen, Six Dings and Six Jias.

If the king agrees to its request, it will bring rain to Chechi Kingdom.

The old dragon asked them to rebuild a Taoist temple and invite back the statues of the Three Pure Ones that were still in the place where the five grains were recycled.

Kill those useless monks and use their blood and flesh to offer sacrifices to the heavens.

The king and queen were desperate and had no choice but to trust the old dragon.

The king was already resentful of these idle monks.

Now that I have an outlet, I naturally work harder.

In a short period of time, all the monks of Chechi Kingdom were killed, and the temples were demolished and converted into Taoist temples.

The king and queen, following the old dragon's instructions, went to the place where the five grains were reincarnated and brought back the statues of the Three Pure Ones.

However, due to being soaked in filth for many years, the statues of the Three Pure Ones have long become unsightly.

The king once proposed to reshape the statues of the Three Pure Ones.

However, the old dragon disagreed. Instead, he smiled and said that this was fine.

Since the statues of the Three Pure Ones were retrieved, the Sanqing Temple was renamed the Sanzhuo Temple.

It finally started to rain in Chechi State, and the people lived in peace and health.

However, such good days did not last long, and Lao Long came to visit again.

The old dragon went straight to the point and asked the king and queen if they wanted to live forever.

At this time, the king and queen were already very old and did not have much time left.

How could they resist the old dragon's temptation of immortality?

The king immediately waved his hand and told the old dragon to do whatever he wanted, saying that he would do anything to achieve immortality.

Therefore, the original imperial palace garden was changed into Baicao Garden.

Lao Long planted a walnut and watered it with human blood day and night.

At first it was just some human blood. There were so many refugees from Chechi Country, so a few less would not be a big deal.

But as time went on, the old dragon's appetite grew.

From human blood to human flesh, and then to the need for living people to be used as fertilizer.

At that time, everyone in Chechi was in danger, saying that the king had been bewitched by the devil again and had become a traitor who helped the tyrant to commit atrocities.

And it is indeed true...

It is unknown when the king and queen, who originally cared about the people, began to use any means necessary to achieve immortality.

Whenever the old dragon asked, they would grant his request.

In just one year, the number of people who died in Baicao Garden could have piled up into a mountain.

But the old dragon didn't seem to have any intention of stopping and continued to ask for more.

The king and queen could hardly bear it anymore and gradually realized that something was wrong.

But at this moment, the old dragon seemed to know what they were thinking and came to them again, saying that the fairy peaches would be ripe soon.

The king and queen were so overwhelmed by the good news that they immediately decided to hold a banquet to celebrate the ascension to heaven!

That day, the immortal master of Sanzhuo Temple held a banquet and set out a table full of delicacies from land and sea, and fine wines.

The entire court was filled with singing and dancing.

The king and queen were smiling happily.

However, what no one expected was that it was all a scam from the beginning to the end.

And this Ascension Banquet is actually their Ascension Banquet to Heaven.

Pushing cups and changing cups, drinking and drinking together.

When the king and queen woke up from their drunkenness, the situation in Chechi Kingdom had already changed.

All the civil and military officials in the court were reduced to rapeseed in the fields, and the common people were reduced to meat paste and soil.

And they, with their dream of immortality, turned into the bloody "Peach".

The fruit on the tree is the king and the queen.

The soil under the tree is filled with officials and common people.

A peach tree is the Chechi Kingdom...
