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

Chapter 40: Backyard Treasure Viewing
"This old Taoist is very generous."

Chen Xi sneered, his face full of disgust.

It seems that what Shi Linlin said was right, this Lingxu Taoist Temple really does eat people!

How could this be a so-called Taoist temple? It's clearly a meat pen where Ling Xuzi keeps humans and animals!

However, this Ling Xuzi must have given those Taoists some kind of magic potion.

What can make these people stay here so willingly?
Chen Xi was puzzled. While frowning and thinking, he also noticed a fatal problem.

That is, facing Ling Xuzi's "hospitality", he in the human skin paper couldn't wait to enjoy it?

Only you know yourself best.

Although Chen Xi was driven crazy by demons, he still claimed to be a normal person.

The wine brewed by a girl is the elixir refined by the human heart.

How could he possibly eat something like this?
"Is it because of the Dragon Lord and the Buddha who broke his vows?"

Chen Xi muttered to himself, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.

However, why didn't the human skin paper point out that he was influenced by the Dragon King, the Buddha who broke the precepts?

Chen Xi instinctively didn't want to think too much and could only continue to look down.
[I looked at the dish of family reunion in amazement, and my appetite was aroused! ]

[Ling Xuzi was very pleased with himself and introduced this delicious dish to me.]

[Originally, I wanted to share it with my friends, but now that I am here as a guest, I am offering it to them. ]

【I heard this and praised Ling Xuzi highly, then sat down with him and enjoyed the meal. 】

[The Toad Spirit and I drank the wine and our looks improved! ]

[I became like the Taoist priests in the temple, with a ruddy and clean face.]

[The toad demon's body was covered with pimples and pustules, which disappeared and he became more and more human-like.]

[Ling Xuzi saw this and praised his drinking capacity.]

[The Toad Spirit and I shared our flesh and blood, eating until our mouths were full of oil and the food was soft and delicious.]

[A 'fragrance' gradually spread from my body, making people intoxicated. ]

[The toad demon grew human hands and feet, and jumped around, forgetting everything.]

[Ling Xuzi saw this and praised the good appetite. ]

[It's the last elixir. The toad monster and I each eat one. I eat the big one, and it eats the small one.]

[I have gained the power of Taoism, and a 'human heart' has grown inside me. ]

[The toad spirit has gained some skills and has become no different from a human. At first glance, you might think it is a Taoist in a temple.]

[Ling Xuzi saw this and praised his excellent cultivation.]

[After having enough food and drink, Ling Xuzi complained bitterly. ]

[On Black Wind Mountain, besides the Lingxu Taoist Temple, there is also a Black Wind Village. ]

[In the Black Wind Village, there is a scholar in white clothes, who has extraordinary means. ]

[The bandits under his command are quite vicious and often come to this Lingxu Taoist temple to have a feast.]

[Because it was concerned about the white-robed scholar's tactics, it often dared not speak out. ]

【Now that the Buddha has arrived, it sees hope of resolving its mental illness. 】

[When Ling Xuzi said this, he asked me, the 'big demon', to help him subdue the demon.]

[I'm not willing to do this, but I've eaten a little, so it's not enough for me to take risks.]

[So, I rejected Ling Xuzi, but I didn’t say everything.]

[I hinted to Ling Xuzi that if there was any benefit, I might be able to help out.]

"Ok?"

When Chen Xi saw this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

He was not surprised that Ling Xuzi asked him for help.

After all, there was wine, meat, and elixirs as gifts, so you knew there was something going on.

What really surprised him was the change in "himself" in the human skin paper.

Chen Xi keenly noticed that the 'self' in the human skin paper seemed less and less like himself.

He knew very well how much he was worth.

How could he possibly deal with the guy who even the demon Ling Xuzi couldn't deal with?

But the "self" in the human skin paper was not aware of this. He even used it to threaten Ling Xuzi, wanting to gain benefits from it.
Father, like son.

Chen Xi's heart trembled. It seemed that he, who was trapped in the paper human skin, had been tricked.

Is it because of the so-called elixir?
Chen Xi noticed that when he ate the elixir, he grew a so-called human heart.

The death prophecy given by the human skin is precisely death from the human heart!
"It seems that you really can't eat anything you want when you're out."

Chen Xi became more and more resolute in this idea. It would be unreasonable if he didn't learn his lesson after failing here again and again.

However, he has supernatural powers, so how could the 'self' in the human skin paper fall into his trap?
Could it be that Ling Xuzi is hiding so well that he can escape his telepathy?
Chen Xi frowned, thinking and paying attention to the subsequent developments.

[Faced with my hint, Ling Xuzi suddenly realized what was going on and said with a smile that he had already prepared it for me.]

[However, this requires me to go alone with him to the backyard to view the treasure. ]

[I am looking forward to what kind of treasure it is. ]

[So, he left the Toad Spirit behind and followed Ling Xuzi to the backyard of the temple.]

[Compared to the luxurious front yard of the Taoist temple, this place looks shabby and even has traces of being burned by a fire! ]

"Guanyin Temple?!"

Chen Xi was startled and his pupils shrank slightly.

The moment he saw the line of blood words, he thought of Guanyin Temple.

In order to confirm his guess, Chen Xi hurriedly looked down.

[Ling Xuzi and I walked through the ruins in the backyard and saw a dilapidated Buddhist temple.]

【Along the way, Ling Xuzi told me the origin of this place.】

[Just as Shi Linlin said, this place was originally called Guanyin Zen Temple, dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva.]

[But a fire destroyed this place, and also burned away people’s hearts. ]

【Since then, this place has become dilapidated and turned into a ruin. 】

[Later, Lingxuzi visited this place and did not want to see it fall into disrepair, so he built the Lingxu Taoist Temple.]

[As for the backyard, it should also be demolished and rebuilt. ]

[But for some reason, strange things always happen here, so Ling Xuzi kept it here to avoid any trouble.]

[After hearing this, I couldn't help but become curious about what this so-called weirdness was. ]

[Ling Xuzi smiled but said nothing. He did not explain but pushed open the door of the Buddhist hall.]

[There are dozens of Buddha statues enshrined in the temple, but they have all been burned black and their original appearance cannot be seen.]

[Only the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue at the top is still clearly recognizable.]

【Then I saw the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.】

【Eyebrows like a small moon, eyes like twin stars.】

[The jade face is naturally happy, and the red lips are a little red. 】

[The nectar in the pure bottle is abundant every year, and the weeping willow tree is green every year. ]

[However, perhaps because of the black smoke from the fire, the Bodhisattva statue is extremely black, with only the two eyeballs looking frighteningly white! ]

[At first glance, it looks quite creepy and weird. ]

[The most eye-catching thing is the cassock held by the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.]

[The glittering robes are out of place in this blackened temple.]

[As the poem says.]

[Thousands of ingenious pearl pendants, tens of thousands of rare Buddhist treasures. 】

[The dragon whiskers above and below are covered with colorful silk, and the four sides of the tula are decorated with brocade. ]

[My eyes were drawn to the cassock, and my face was filled with greed.]

[Ling Xuzi standing by was not much better than me, and his expression was even more miserable than mine.]

[I don’t know how long it took, but I felt something strange, and my peripheral vision caught sight of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.]

[Instantly, I came to my senses, as if struck by lightning! ]

【Then the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva statue shed two streams of blood and tears! 】
