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

Chapter 92: Demon Heart, God Heart, Human Heart
The morning sun shines slowly.

The noisy voices, accompanied by the crisp chirping of birds, entered the room.

Chen Xi woke up suddenly, and the scene in front of him seemed to still be entangled in bottomless darkness.

"Damn it, I failed again!"

Chen Xi propped himself up from the bed and slammed the wall hard, feeling heavy-hearted.

Last night's experience made him experience the feeling of being on the verge of death again.

He thought back to last night, the fear of falling continuously, and his anger and all kinds of evil thoughts could not stop arising.

For a moment, he actually had the urge to transform into a real demon on the spot to offset his fear.

At this moment, waves of hot and cold sensations came from his chest.

The demonic obstacles that were originally caused by fear suddenly subsided.

Chen Xi came to his senses and quickly took out the thing in his arms.

Is that a scripture?
His pupils shrank slightly. He never thought that this thing was still in his hands.

Logically speaking, as illusions change and time passes, this thing should no longer exist.

Why is it still on him now?
"This"

Chen Xi was somewhat doubtful and scanned the scriptures carefully.

Then he realized that the sentence seemed a little shorter than before.

However, the strange thing was that no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall the missing verses.

For a moment, Chen Xi's eyes were filled with confusion.

He glanced across the room and found that the furnishings in the room were still the same as yesterday.

Even his figure was almost the same as yesterday.

Only the phantom with three heads and six arms became more and more obvious, accompanied by the floating evil thoughts of anger.

"Gua, Master Buddha, what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't sleep well this night, and I heard you mumbling to and fro."

The toad spirit was yawning and looked sleepy.

While complaining, it raised its head and looked at Chen Xi.

However, it would not matter if it did not look at it, but once it did, it was shocked!

Chen Xi was seen staring at it with bloodshot eyes.

"Idiot! What did you just say, one night?"

"Haven't you been sleeping every day these days?"

The toad spirit was frightened and woke up, stuttering a little.

"Gua, Master Buddha, I have been here for the past few days..."

"Oh, indeed, Master Buddha, now that you said that, I am not sleepy anymore."

"But the little one really only slept for one night."

"No matter how confused I am, I can't be so confused that I don't even know how long I've slept."

No wonder, if that's the case, then why can't we use human skin paper? It seems reasonable...

Chen Xi seemed to have thought of something, then took out a piece of human skin paper and smeared the blood on it.

However, there were still no bloody words appearing on the human skin paper, and it seemed that it was still cooling down.

It seems that he and the Toad Spirit are indeed trapped in some fantasy dream.

The time outside is probably different from the time he feels.

Maybe at this moment, it is still night outside!

Otherwise, if a whole day had passed, how could the human skin paper not move?

Chen Xi looked unhappy and was thinking in his heart.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Excuse me, sir, how was your rest?"

"The masters of the temple on the mountain have already come down the mountain."

"My father is hosting a banquet. Please move over and discuss exorcising the demon together!"

The sound of words entered the room, causing Chen Xi's thoughts to stagnate.

Why am I still stuck at this point?
Could it be that yesterday’s response did not satisfy the Zen Master Wuchao?

"Master Yan, please go first. I will get ready and come back later."

Chen Xi suppressed the doubts in his heart and casually dismissed the words.

Then, he looked at the scripture in his hand, and his heart felt heavy.

Yesterday I just watched from the sidelines, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain the complete scripture from the old Zen master.

Unexpectedly, he ended up hurting himself instead of gaining the prize.
Chen Xi thought about his behavior last night and felt ashamed of the old Zen master's kindness. He was too embarrassed to see him again.

"Longzi, you are wrong."

"If it weren't for the old villain Wuchao dragging you into this fantasy, why would you have to face these difficult choices?"

"You are now ashamed of your actions, but you never thought that you were just being played by that old villain Wuchao in various ways."

The Dragon King looked down at Chen Xi, but every word he said touched his heart.

"Longzi, what's the point of you feeling guilty now?"

"It has already happened, so we might as well put it into practice."

"First, kill all those guys who disturb the peace of the town and vent the anger in your heart."

"If no one makes trouble tonight, it will be peaceful and quiet."

"Maybe if the Zen master succeeds in exorcising the demon, you will be able to pass the test successfully."

"After all, this illusion is nothing but clay in the hands of the old villain Wuchao."

"If you can satisfy him, then it will be easy to get the scripture, right?"

What Lord Long said was even more moving.

Every word touched Chen Xi's heart and made him agree greatly!
Yup!

I’ll kill Yanxingpi right away!

He will distribute the scriptures personally, and then kill all those evil Taoist practitioners!
In this way, the demon was successfully subdued tonight and the tragedy was changed.

How could the Zen Master Wuchao, who arranged the dream, be dissatisfied?

If he plays tricks on me again, the worst that can happen is that I will transform into a real demon and fight you to the death!

When Chen Xi thought of this, his thoughts became clear, his worries disappeared, and he felt his whole body relaxed!

"Gua, Master Buddha, what's wrong with you?"

The toad spirit spoke in a trembling voice, his face full of fear.

In its eyes, Chen Xi's eyes were red and his face was full of hostility.

The one head and two arms turned into three heads and six arms again, which made people feel fear unconsciously.

If the Buddha had a seizure here, I'm afraid he would stuff my food into his mouth and rinse it a few times.

The toad spirit's interruption caused Chen Xi's train of thought to come to a standstill.

He looked unfriendly and glanced at the toad spirit.

The Buddha who broke the precepts was surrounded by a fairy belt. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the Dragon King whose figure was becoming more and more solid.

"Buddha's son, this toad has worked hard along the way, even if he has no merit."

"Now if you want to get angry, just kill the evildoer."

"Oh? You want to speak for Toad?"

Chen Xi raised his head and looked at the Buddha who had broken his vows.

The fangs at the corners of his mouth protruded slightly, and his eyes were bloodshot. "No, it's just that the laws of nature are unpredictable. Can killing this toad here to vent my anger solve the Buddha's current problem?"

"In my opinion, since Shi Linlin once said that Zen Master Wuchao is sometimes compassionate and sometimes crazy."

"Combined with the current dream experience, perhaps Zen Master Wuchao still has some intention to do good deeds in his heart."

"Killing out of anger and resentment is not advisable."

"This town is tainted by rumors and ruined by gossip."

"Most of the residents of a town are accomplices, either directly or indirectly, and they all oppress the good people."

"Why don't you just act impartially, use your magical powers, identify them one by one, and kill all the criminals!"

"This way, not only will the Zen master be satisfied, but future generations here will also know the pros and cons and learn to be careful with their words and actions."

The Buddha who broke his precepts said a lot, which was rare, and his tone was inexplicable.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi felt that it made sense and nodded, his anger subsiding.

Yes, he was the incarnation of a god, how could he kill people indiscriminately like the demons on earth?
Only by acting impartially and with solid reasons can people understand why they die and repent!

The Dragon King hovering in the air glanced at the Buddha who broke his precepts with dissatisfaction, but did not say anything.

Chen Xi had made up his mind, and was ready to follow the Dragon Lord's instructions and kill Yan Xingpi and that group of wild Taoist priests!

However, the Toad Spirit is still too conspicuous for this place.

Chen Xi gave it a few instructions, then closed the door and walked out under the worried look of the Toad Spirit.

The streets of Yanjia Town are still as bustling as they were yesterday.

Only the sun in the sky had a small piece covered in blood, making it difficult for people to feel at peace.

However, the passers-by in the town were unaware of this.

Chen Xi's nose twitched slightly, and all kinds of smells were inhaled into his nose and flooded into his mind.

Since he acquired the ability to smell some time ago, he has not been able to make good use of it.

Now is the chance!
I just had a close combat with that group of demons last night.

He still remembers the smell of these evil spirits vividly!

In a moment, Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and found it.
clairvoyance!
His gaze instantly penetrated the numerous houses and saw a group of guys who looked like bandits, with murderous aura and blood all over their bodies.

They held the girls who served as drinking companions, their Taoist robes scattered on the ground, and gathered in the courtyard to have fun.

Chen Xi sneered and walked away!

The divine power of feet flashed and arrived in an instant!
The first person he targeted was the guy with the bronze master's knife on his waist last night.

Chen Xi moved his six arms slightly and punched out!
In an instant, the brain burst and bone fragments flew everywhere!
"thump!"

Even a scream was uttered in time.

Last night, the leading Taoist priest died again and fell heavily to the ground as a headless corpse.

For a moment, fear and oppression spread throughout the entire house, and silence ensued.

"what!"

The hostess reacted and screamed.

A few more agile demons instantly drew out the blades hanging at their waists and slashed towards Chen Xi!

At the same time, some quick-reacting demons saw this situation and ran out of the house!
Chen Xi sneered, and his brows showed even more hostility!
As his six arms rotated, the weapons of the demons were broken and their bodies were mutilated.

Even the demon who wanted to escape was easily pulled back by him using his magical powers and torn into several pieces!

In an instant, the ground was covered with blood, organs fell out, limbs rolled, and flesh splattered everywhere!

Chen Xi was covered in blood, and felt relaxed all over.

The women who served the drinks were terrified and begged for mercy in a panic.

However, this sound disturbed His pleasure.

He moved his eyes slightly and looked at the women who were so frightened that their legs were weak and they couldn't even walk.

Chen Xi licked the corner of his mouth, and felt that their skin was tender and smooth, and thought that their flesh should be more delicious and smooth than that of men...

Just right! He was a little hungry now!

Since you have disturbed His pleasure, you should pay with your life!

Chen Xi grinned, stepped over the blood plasma step by step, and walked towards the woman who collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, Jinlan's robes and scriptures were both glowing, as if making a final effort.

The seven treasures fell from the brocade robe and crashed to the ground.

The entire cassock suddenly became a little torn.

The seven treasures rolled on the blood plasma, making a splashing sound, which made Chen Xi come back to his senses and look over.

Chen Xi's face was reflected on the glossy colored glass.

The three heads gathered together, the Buddha head closed his eyes, and the dragon head grinned, looking even more ferocious.

The human head on Chen Xi's neck had red eyes with vertical pupils, and a mouthful of sharp teeth.

With this appearance, it is obvious that he is already a pure demon in skin, and there is no trace of human in him!
Chen Xi, who was sinking in killing, felt as if a wake-up call was rung in his heart, and he suddenly woke up!
What on earth are you doing!
Looking back at yesterday, it was clearly because I believed the words of the Dragon Lord that I ended up in such a miserable situation!
If it weren't for the robes and scriptures, warning him
Once he eats these innocent people in front of him, there will be no turning back!
And there is the Buddha who broke the precepts. His words seem to make sense, but in fact, they are not unreasonable. Is it possible for him to abandon his humanity?
If most people in the town were considered accomplices.

If he kills them before they turn into monsters, then how is he, Chen Xi, different from the monsters?
Chen Xi pressed his head with both hands and pounded it continuously.

He wanted to use the pain to suppress his anger!
Ever since entering this illusion created by Zen Master Wuchao, my actions and thoughts have always been led off the original path by the Buddha who broke the precepts and the Dragon King.

The words they spoke seemed to be all for his benefit, and every word was well-founded.

But unfortunately, all of these things are making Chen Xi less and less able to be himself!

Could it be that the problem with my character has become so serious? !

"what--"

Chen Xi fell to his knees with a scream, his head pounding from being hit by him.

He kept waving his hands, asking everyone in the house to leave quickly.

If these women stayed here any longer, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself!
Desires are churning and anger is wavering.

Scenes flashed through Chen Xi's mind.

Lying in bed, enjoying the quietness.
Savoring the fireworks of the world, the hope in my heart
Seeing the miserable state of the townspeople, sadness appeared on his face.
Because of the anger caused by foul language.
Because of the guilt of watching the Zen master walk towards that tragedy.
Countless lights and shadows passed by and finally stopped at the words that Zen Master Wuchao blurted out in madness!
“Hahaha, human heart! Human heart! Pure heart, free heart, kind heart, evil heart, compassionate heart, equal heart…”

"Heart!"

"Heart!"

"Heart!"

At this moment, Chen Xi seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had suddenly realized something!

From the beginning to the end, he was trying to guess the purpose of this dream and the goal of Zen Master Wuchao!

However, he truly ignored and even despised the impact and emotions this dream brought to him!

Human hearts are complicated, so all kinds of behaviors arise.

He had a human heart, but in order to survive, he had no choice but to become contaminated by the devil's heart.

The Dragon King has been a demon from the beginning to the end, and he is very calculating for his own benefit.

Don't care about the sacrifices of others, as long as you are comfortable, that's what you want.

The Buddha who broke his precepts gained a trace of immortal nature at the South Heaven Gate.

Therefore, his words gradually changed from the barbarity and cunning of demons to the ethereal and ruthless words of immortals and gods!
He didn't want to be replaced by the Dragon King and the Buddha who broke the precepts, to be contaminated, and gradually become unlike himself, unlike Chen Xi!
Before Chen Xi ascended to become a Buddha, and before he was contaminated by the devil's heart, he was a human being!

From the beginning to the end, all he wanted was to be himself! To be a human being!

Chen Xi's body rolled wildly and finally stopped in a messy house.

He looked up at the sun in the sky and muttered to himself.

For a moment, there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

"I... am a human!"
