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

Chapter 49: Marriage Invitation
"Ok?"

Chen Xi threw away the head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Then the Toad Spirit was seen searching the dead bandit and taking out a blood-stained red cloth package from the body.

"Master Buddha, is this the treasure these mountain bandits and little demons robbed from somewhere?"

The toad spirit held the red cloth package in his hands and jumped up and down excitedly.

However, it did not forget the Buddha, and hurried over to present the red cloth package.

"baby?"

"What treasures can a bunch of little demons have..."

Chen Xi did not comment. The scales on his hands slowly faded away, and he took the red cloth package.

I opened it and saw that...

There were only some letters and a red card inside.

Chen Xi dragged his tired body, sat on the headless corpse of the bandit leader, and casually opened the letters.

While resting, he read the blood-stained letters.

Gradually, he pieced together a story about a bandit from these fragments...

Life is full of hardships, and the dust of disasters brings cold and poverty.

The revenge for an old grudge is unfair, but the paths are different and the results are the same.

In the past, there was a young man here. His father was sent to jail for drinking and causing trouble, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other.

Seeing that his family's financial situation was becoming increasingly difficult, the young man was willing to do all kinds of odd jobs in order to support his family.

Everyone praised him for being a filial son who served his widowed mother.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. There was a famine, and the mother and son had to go to live with relatives.

Unexpectedly, a group of bandits appeared on the road. These people were quite vicious and didn't ask for anything else but money.

They had no money, so they had to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.

The bandits were not willing to let go and just kept beating and killing.

The young man thought he had no chance of survival, so he simply closed his eyes, made up his mind, and killed his mother before surrendering to the bandits.

From then on, he became a bandit.

When the news spread, people started to scold him for living a shameful life and being a bad boy.

But little did people know that he was just waiting for the day when he could avenge his mother.

It’s a pity that this happens day after day, year after year.

He didn't wait for the opportunity, but waited until he turned into a demon...

"It's fate..."

Chen Xi put down the letter and felt a little touched.

He turned around and looked at the little bandit who was killed by the toad demon with an unwilling look on his face, and couldn't help but sigh.

Every little demon you meet everywhere has such a story behind it, which is really sad.

It’s a pity that this young man killed his mother with his own hands but did not get a chance for revenge.

Instead, I became a demon and died in their hands...

However, does this count as revenge for it?

Chen Xi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

They are not wrong, the young people are not wrong, the only thing wrong is this damn world.

"Huh? This is it?"

Chen Xi was about to throw away the red cloth package, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of the invitation card with a red background and gold gilt on it.

There were dozens of small seal characters written on it, and at the end there were three big characters...Gao Cuilan.

"Gao Cuilan?"

The three heads on Chen Xi's neck blinked at the same time, and he thought he had seen it wrong.

He picked up the invitation and looked at it carefully, and found that it was actually an invitation to marry!

The general idea is that Mr. Gao of Gao Village wants to recruit a son-in-law to take care of him in his old age, and sincerely invites all demons to marry his young daughter Gao Cuilan.

Chen Xi was stunned. Master Gao is looking for a son-in-law?
If he remembered correctly, wasn't Gao Cuilan Zhu Bajie's "wife"?

Gao Laozhuang, Fuling Mountain...

This is about to reach Zhu Bajie’s territory!

The little white dragon is missing from Yingchoujian, and the black bear demon from Heifeng Mountain is dead.

So what is the current situation of Zhu Bajie?
"Good good..."

"Stupid, it looks like we have somewhere to go."

Chen Xi's three heads spoke at the same time, with an inexplicable tone.

If we can find Zhu Bajie, we might be able to learn from him about Lingshan Mountain and even the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Why has this world become like this?
Why did he come here and how will he go back?
Who knows, all of these may be solved this way!

When the Toad Spirit heard this, he was startled at first, and then he saw the invitation in the Buddha's hand.

Suddenly, its expression became very interesting.

Buddha... have you been lonely for too long and want to find a spouse?

Fortunately, Chen Xi did not use his telepathy at this time, otherwise he would have to give the Toad Spirit a good beating.

"Master Buddha, then are we still going to look for the so-called black bear demon?"

The toad spirit looked ahead at the strange sight of evil spirit rising to the sky, and couldn't help but retreat.

"Since you're here, why not go?"

"Could it be that I am afraid of a dead thing?"

Chen Xi put away the invitation, stood up and continued to go deeper into Black Wind Mountain.

Seeing this, the Toad Spirit had no choice but to follow closely behind.

This time, there were no more bandits from the Black Wind Village blocking their way, so they traveled particularly smoothly.

The evil spirit is so strong here that ordinary demons dare not approach.

Fortunately, Chen Xi had the cassock to protect him and was not affected.

On the contrary, the Toad Spirit was made very uncomfortable and breathless by the evil spirit along the way.

However, the Toad Demon has the skull of the Buddha who broke the precepts, and the spine of the Dragon King.

The things on these big monsters can resist the influence of demonic energy to a certain extent.

Soon, they came to a dark and deep cave entrance.

There is a stele at the entrance of the cave with six big characters written on it... Black Wind Cave in Black Wind Mountain!
There is a strong air of death, without a trace of life.

"What a nice cave, but it has been abandoned for too long and has no vitality anymore."

"It's not as good as my Heavenly Dragon Palace..."

While Chen Xi was talking to himself, he brought the toad spirit into the cave.

The Black Wind Caves are quite rugged and freezing cold inside, with occasional howling winds.

After walking for a while, we saw many cattle and sheep skeletons on the ground, which looked like they were deliberately abandoned there.

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and thought of the story told by the scholar in white.

Could it be that these bones of cattle and sheep were offered by the mountain people when the black bear demon was imprisoned here?
If that's the case, this black bear demon was quite popular in the past.

It's a pity that I have offended the Bodhisattva...

Chen Xi shook his head and continued forward, stepping on the bones.

About half an incense stick later, their vision suddenly opened up.

A sickening smell of decay hit me in the face.

A huge monster over a hundred feet tall suddenly came into view!

Compared with him, Chen Xi and the Toad Spirit were as small as ants.

Even though Chen Xi was knowledgeable and well prepared, his pupils couldn't help but shrink at this moment.

The impact this scene brought to him was no less than that of the Dragon King and the Broken Precepts Buddha.

What a big demon!

Then they saw a huge creature lying across the cave, its body rotting and full of maggots, and surrounded by flies and insects.

Piles of bones were exposed, with only a little fur clinging to them, showing the misery and sadness.

Among them, there is one thing that attracts the most attention!
The black bear is dead...

But its rotting, maggot-infested corpse still wore the Buddhist hoop.

The Buddhist hoop had taken root into the flesh and embedded into the skull, leaving cracks that were shocking to look at.

Chen Xi looked at this scene and couldn't help but doubt in his heart...

The reason why a demon as powerful as the Black Bear Demon died in such an unclear way.

Could it be...

Was he strangled to death by this hoop?
Chen Xi squinted his eyes and looked around, but his consciousness suddenly became dazed at this moment.

Then, a sound came to his ears.

The resentment contained in it is enough to make one's scalp numb!

"The man of destiny..."

"You killed me!"
