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

Chapter 37 Turning stone into gold
"Is this the territory of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Black Wind Mountain?"

Chen Xi murmured to himself and silently took back the human skin paper.

Sure enough, he did not go wrong.

If you go west along Yingchoujian, you will pass by the Guanyin Temple on Heifeng Mountain.

He wanted to go to Lingshan to find out the so-called truth and know where the gods and Buddhas were.

Then Guanyin Temple is a place he cannot avoid.

"Idiot, follow me, stop looking."

Chen Xi suppressed his thoughts and became impatient.

He turned around and called out, and the Toad Spirit, who was still looking out, took the lead and followed the mountain road straight to the mountain rhinoceros.

"Hey! Master Buddha, wait for me!"

The toad spirit shouted loudly and hurried to follow.

Perhaps it was because of the two-month journey that I finally saw the smell of fireworks.

Chen Xi and the Toad Spirit walked very fast along the way.

However, they had not walked far, and even before reaching the pavilion in the mountains, they startled a monster that was blocking the road.

"What the hell!"

Chen Xi suddenly stopped in his tracks. Without the human parchment by his side, he seemed very cautious.

Along the way, I kept my eyes and ears open and noticed a strange rock on the side of the road.

The strange rock was about ten feet high and shaped like a rockery.

As if he knew he was discovered, he was shaking and swaying.

A puff of white smoke rose from the ground!

The strange rock actually grew two feet and stood up from the soil.

The strange rock has feet but no hands, and is covered with piles of bones.

Chen Xi frowned slightly, and his clairvoyance flashed for a moment, illuminating the shapes and forms of all living beings.

Her name immediately came to my mind: Shi Linlin.

A strange man bestows the Tao, and stones serve as his companions.

Panpan has a fierce and tough personality and can kill anyone who offends him.

"Little monk, don't go any further!"

Shi Linlin shook her body and blocked the road.

"Tsk! What kind of monster dares to stop my Buddha?"

When the toad spirit saw that this monster didn't seem to be very strong, his eyes immediately lit up.

Then it spit out the dragon bone staff and made a gesture to attack.

"slow!"

Chen Xi stopped the toad spirit and turned to look at Shi Linlin.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he had already used his telepathy.

Knowing this monster, it seemed to have no ill will towards him.

"Why can't you move forward? Who are you?"

Shi Linlin was silent for a while after hearing this, and then made a muffled sound.

"I am the mountain god of Black Wind Mountain"

"Go further and you will reach Lingxu Taoist Temple."

"There are man-eating monsters over there. If you don't want to die, turn back."

Mountain God? Lingxu Taoist Temple?
Chen Xi suddenly felt puzzled. How come Guanyin Temple became a Taoist temple?

"You said you are the mountain god?"

Chen Xi had a strange look on his face, and it was obvious that he did not easily believe the monster's words.

Although this monster had no ill will towards him, its demonic appearance did not make it look like a mountain god.

What's more, Chen Xi's telepathy told him that the monster was not telling the truth.

"Master Buddha, why bother talking to it about this?"

"It's obvious that this guy has bad intentions. He might want to trick us and take us somewhere else to eat."

For some reason, the Toad Spirit disliked this guy very much.

"You toad, you don't know what's good for you!"

Shi Linlin had a bad temper and seemed to be irritated by the toad at the moment. She actually bumped into it without saying a word!
"Boom!!!"

Wherever Shilinling passed, sand and stones flew.

If it hits you, you will either die or get hurt. If it were the old Toad Spirit, it might not be able to defeat this stone.

But now it is no longer what it used to be.

After devouring the flesh and blood of earth dragons for two months, its cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.

The current Toad Spirit is already comparable to the three monsters in the ruined temple that Chen Xi encountered at the beginning.

What's more, the Toad Demon also has a dragon bone staff.

Among the little monsters, he is already considered one of the best.

"Boom!"

The toad demon changed his previous cowardice, raised his dragon bone staff, and resisted Shi Linlin.

After all, the dragon bone staff was made from the spine of the Dragon King, and this blow almost broke Shi Linlin into pieces.

Chen Xi frowned and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Shi Linlin shook himself and said, "Buddha, tell this toad to stop. I can't stand the beating."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi grabbed the toad spirit and pulled it back.

"You idiot, you are usually timid and cowardly, but today you see an easy target and you seem to be diligent."

Chen Xi glanced at the toad spirit with some disgust.

The toad spirit immediately sneered and muttered to himself.

Buddha can really act.
When we were on the road, didn’t you say that if we encountered demons causing trouble or telling nonsense, I should be the one to play the good guy?

Chen Xi seemed to have heard the toad spirit's thoughts and turned to glare at it.

It was not until this moment that Chen Xi looked at this so-called "mountain god".

"Buddha's son? Why, weren't you still a little monk just now?"

Chen Xi looked unhappy and sneered.

Shi Linlin sat down and said gloomily, "I can't hide it from you, Buddhist. I am not the mountain god of this place."

This time, Shi Linlin did not lie.

Chen Xi nodded slightly, obviously it was not beyond his expectations.

When Shi Linlin saw Chen Xi's expression, she knew she could not hide it any longer, so she told him everything without hesitation.

It turned out that the reason why Shi Linlin stopped Chen Xi here was because she was instructed by someone.

In the past, he was not a demon, but a believer.

His family was very poor, but they worshipped Buddha statues.

All the money saved was used to buy incense and candles, and to chant Buddhist scriptures day and night.

One day, a Zen master passed by here and was deeply moved when he learned about this.

The Zen master turned stone into gold and gave it to him, promising that he would never have to worry about food and clothing.

However, at that time, he rejected the Zen master's kindness.

The Zen master thought he was quite honest and wanted to pass on the Buddhist scriptures to him and let him inherit his legacy.

Unexpectedly, he said something shocking, and greedily expressed that he wanted the Zen master's finger that could turn stone into gold.

The Zen master was furious and scolded him for being too greedy, and turned him into stone.

He was punished to stop a Buddhist disciple with a lotus between his eyebrows.
Chen Xi felt puzzled when listening to Shi Linlin's story.

Why is this story so similar to the Toad Spirit?

Could it be that the so-called Zen master is the old turtle mentioned by the toad demon?

"Didn't the Zen master tell me why he stopped me?"

Chen Xi was puzzled and felt that something was fishy.

But his telepathy told him that this guy was not lying.

"No, the Zen master only told me to show up and stop the Buddhist disciple when the time comes."

“Nothing else was said.”

Shi Linlin spoke in a muffled voice, sounding quite honest.

Chen Xi had a strange look on his face. Was it really that simple to just stop him?
What was the intention of this so-called Zen master? Why didn't he want him to go to the Guanyin Temple?
When Chen Xi thought of Guanyin Temple, his eyebrows suddenly raised, as if he had thought of something.

So, he looked at Shi Linlin, squinted his eyes and said, "By the way, you just said that if we go further, we will reach Lingxu Taoist Temple?"

"Why do I remember that this place should be Guanyin Temple?"
