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

Chapter 51 Taking advantage of the situation
The night is quiet and the wind is howling.

The chilly night wind blows through the woods on both sides.

For a moment, the only sound was the swaying of branches and the sound of birds singing.

Suddenly, the clouds broke and the moon appeared. Under the moonlight, the woods on both sides seemed to be full of evil shadows and ghosts.

At this time, even the birds and animals in the mountains should rest and sleep.

However, there was one person who hadn't slept yet.

Not only did he not sleep, but his three pairs of eyes were shining brightly.

Chen Xi led the Toad Spirit and set off happily under the cover of night.

If there really was an "expert" here, Chen Xi would probably be kicked by him.

Even after being scolded, he still dared to travel at night. He is really a centenarian... He is tired of living!
It’s just a pity that there is no such thing as an “expert”.

Even if there were, seeing Chen Xi's appearance, he would probably have shouted "Exorcise the devil and defend the way of righteousness" long ago.

It's funny to say that Chen Xi, as a human being, is now more like a demon than a demon!

"We will be able to simulate it at dawn. I wonder what kind of chaos and disorder will occur in Gao Village..."

Chen Xi stroked the human skin in his arms and felt a little relieved.

Along the way, he has seen too many demons dancing wildly.

I guess Gao Laozhuang isn’t much better.

Invitations to the wedding were being distributed everywhere, and demons from all walks of life were gathering. It looked like another Dragon Gate Banquet...

"Buddha! There is a river ahead!"

Just at this moment, the voice of the toad spirit interrupted his thoughts.

Chen Xi tilted his ear slightly and listened with his clairaudience, and indeed he heard the sound of rushing water.

At the same time, he also heard a noisy quarrel.

"What a stupid rule! Why does the river have to be full before it can be crossed?"

"I am the only one with this little boat on this river. You can cross it if you want or not!"

Chen Xi frowned when he heard this.

He turned his head and took a look at the toad spirit who was fiddling with a bearskin coat.

"Stop fiddling with it. Let's go and take a look."

Upon hearing this, the Toad Spirit hurriedly followed.

Soon, a stinking sewage river came into view.

Looking around, the river was full of excrement and stank terribly.

There was a shabby wooden boat leaning against the shore, with an old man wearing a bamboo hat sitting on it.

The old man was smoking a long pipe cigarette, looking calm and composed, not caring at all about the shouting and cursing of the demons on the shore.

The three-headed demon on the shore was so angry at the old man's appearance that his face turned red.

If they hadn't been counting on the old man's boat to cross this sewage river, they would have probably fought long ago.

And at this moment, with the arrival of Chen Xi and the Toad Spirit, these demons stopped shouting and cursing, and their eyes lit up.

"What a fair, clean, tender-skinned demon monk!"

Apart from anything else, Chen Xi's current appearance is still quite intimidating.

A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle.

He was wearing a brocade robe and had three heads on his neck!

In the eyes of demons, this appearance is definitely a handsome man.

Even the old man who had been calm and unmoved couldn't help but look over.

"Hey! That three-headed monster and the ugly toad!"

"This old man insists on sailing when the boat is full, come and have some company!"

Among the three demons on the shore, the sturdy man in the lead shouted at Chen Xi without any courtesy.

The sturdy man was born fierce, with thick flesh all over his body.

He has a straight red-yellow eyebrow and his eyes are tied with tangled red hair.

His angry hair was as rough as an iron brush and he looked as ferocious as a lion.

He had two axes on his waist, and the other two demons also had weapons in their pockets.

He truly is the demon slayer from heaven and the Tai Sui God on earth!

Chen Xi took a quick glance and immediately saw through the monster's true form. It was a... colorful tiger with hanging eyes!
"Hey, how can you talk like that!"

"Master Buddha, if you don't let me pass, I'll just beat it to death with one stick!"

When the toad spirit heard the tiger demon calling it an ugly toad, it became so angry that it jumped up and down.

It weighed the dragon bone staff in its hand, pulled the bear skin coat tighter, and wanted to teach this ignorant beast a lesson. "What's the hurry? Beat it to death, and I'll rely on you to cross the river?"

When Chen Xi heard himself being called a three-headed monster, his face twitched, but he was not angry.

He glared at the toad spirit and then went to the shore with it.

"How do we cross this river?"

The vicious man in the lead was about to speak, but he saw two monsters beside him and quickly stopped him.

"General Yin, don't scare these two demon brothers away."

"We have been waiting for most of the night. If we don't cross the river and are slow on the road, we won't be able to go to Gao Village and see Miss Gao."

General Yin?
Gao Laozhuang, Miss Gao?

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that they were also going to Gao Village.

While the demons were talking, the old man on the boat tapped his pipe.

"Cough cough..."

"Everyone, come up. The guests are all here. There are exactly five of us, no more, no less."

"It's agreed in advance that if you want to ride on my boat, you have to accept a reward."

"Do you have anything valuable on you? Take it out!"

When the old man said this, he stretched out his fingers and rubbed them together, looking like he was greedy for money.

The three demons looked at each other with unsightly expressions.

They were short of money, and no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't get the benefits the old man had mentioned.

They had no choice but to hand over their weapons to the old man.

Two axes, a sledgehammer, and a steel knife.

In today's chaotic world, these are things that can protect you and save your life, and they are extremely precious.

However, the old man took a glance and shook his head with disgust.

"Not enough, not enough. It's just a pile of junk. It's too heavy to even carry around."

When General Yin heard this, he was so angry that he started to curse: "This is not allowed, that is not allowed, can we cross the river?"

"You old man, are you taking advantage of the situation and asking for an exorbitant price?"

The old man sneered when he heard this and said, "I am just taking advantage of the situation and asking for an exorbitant price, so what?"

"If there's no old man to drive the boat, then grow some wings and fly over there if you can!"

General Yin's face turned black, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill the old man and row the boat himself.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the old man suddenly laughed mockingly: "By the way, I died on this ship before I died..."

"Now that I've become a little ghost, my life has long been dependent on this ship. Without me, this ship can't move."

"So, my great kings, please stop worrying..."

After hearing these words, General Yin, who was originally ready to make a move, suddenly wilted.

The little devil is so hard to deal with when he sees money...

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "Donor, I have a few ounces of dragon meat. I wonder if it's good enough?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Toad Spirit, and his meaning was self-evident.

There was a lot of stuff in the toad monster's belly. When it opened its mouth, it spat out a large piece of golden dragon meat.

This dragon meat is transformed from earth dragon seeds. During this period of time, Chen Xi and the toad spirit have been relying on eating this thing to survive.

"Hiss! Dragon meat?"

When the three demons saw this piece of precious meat, they were immediately horrified and their mouths watered.

This is a good thing. An ordinary demon may not see a real dragon many times in his lifetime.

And now they are here, and we are lucky enough to see dragon meat!
Who is this monk and how could he have such good things?

When the dragon meat appeared, even the old man couldn't help but be moved!
However, unexpectedly, the old man shook his head.

"No, no, you have too little dragon meat to cross the river..."

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he didn't expect that this old man could actually resist the temptation of dragon meat.

And at this moment, the old man showed greed on his face and changed the subject.

"Ahem, but I think your robes are quite nice."

"If you can give me this cassock, I will be able to cross the river..."
