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

Chapter 97: Strong Wind Blows in Yellow Wind Ridge

"What a weird demon. How can it live without a head?"

Chen Xi was amazed and not afraid at all.

As soon as the thought came to him, he wanted to capture the monster and inquire about Huangfeng Ridge.

The power of divine feet!
Then Chen Xi was seen rising up with the wind, lotus flowers blooming with every step, and his brocade cassock fluttering!

In a short while, Chen Xi had jumped to the top of the mountain and stood on the rugged rocks.

However, unexpectedly, the headless monk disappeared without a trace!

"Ok?"

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around.

But there was no trace of the headless monk around.

clairvoyance!
In an instant, Chen Xi's eyes burst into glazed light, and he used all his strength to activate his magical powers.

Everything in the world, in all its shapes and colors, cannot escape his eyes!
This time, using his magical powers, he saw much more.
The rocks under your feet are stacked layer upon layer, as if they were made up of countless tiny veins.

For some reason, Chen Xi suddenly understood something.

If he had the ability to fiddle with these veins a little, he could easily break this huge mountain apart in the blink of an eye.

unfortunately
For him, who has not yet mastered cultivation, this kind of thing is just a thought.

Chen Xi suppressed his thoughts and looked around, looking for any trace of the headless monk.

But looking around, countless scenes emerged.

At a glance, he saw footprints left by the demons here countless days ago.

However, even though he had great supernatural powers and mysterious clairvoyance, he was unable to find any trace of the headless monk.

"This"

Chen Xi was startled. He thought it was a small demon, but it turned out to be a big fish!

What is the origin of that headless monk?
It actually caused his newly developed clairvoyance to fail.

As Chen Xi's thoughts flowed, the glassy light in his eyes faded.

His face turned pale, his spirit was depressed, and his spirituality was dim.

Fortunately, now that he has cultivated his visual consciousness, every time he uses his supernatural powers, he can adjust the power he uses.

Compared to his previous use of magical powers, this would make him thirsty and hungry.

Now that his visual consciousness has been cultivated, it has begun to consume his mysterious spiritual power.

However, this spirituality is not a rare thing. You only need to recite scriptures and study hard every day to cultivate some of it.

"call!!!"

At this moment, a strong wind blew!
The strong wind brought with it yellow sand, making the sky dark.

It blew away the tops of the big mountains and made the small hills flat.

Thousand-year-old trees were uprooted and ten-thousand-year-old rocks were turned upside down.

Chen Xi was caught off guard and was blown to the ground.

Fortunately, Jinlan's cassock was inlaid with seven treasures, one of which was the Wind-Fixing Pearl!
In a short while, Chen Xi stabilized his body and did not move at all no matter how strong the wind blew.

But Shi Linlin and the toad spirit were in bad luck.

They were blown all over the place by the wind, rolling and crawling.

Shi Linlin ran headfirst into a dead tree, breaking it in half with wood chips flying everywhere, before he barely stopped.

As for the toad spirit, it was blown directly into the sky by the wind.

It was about eight or nine feet above the ground and was about to fall to the ground, with stars appearing before his eyes.

Fortunately, Chen Xi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he leaped up with great flying speed!
"Quack! Lord Buddha!"

The toad spirit screamed in panic and its legs trembled uncontrollably.

When he came to his senses, he found that he was already in the Buddha's arms.

The wind blew hard, blowing up yellow sand from the ground.

Fortunately, this strong wind did not last long and it calmed down, with only occasional light breezes.

"go with!"

When Chen Xi saw the wind stop, he threw the toad spirit out.

The toad spirit was caught off guard and fell flat on his face, with a mouthful of yellow sand in his mouth.

"Pah, pah, pah! Lord Buddha, you don't have to be so disgusted with me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi's face darkened.

"You are a fool, not even as good as a stone."

"Stop talking nonsense. The strong wind here is strange and hard to understand."

"First, find a sheltered place, take a rest, and avoid the wind."

Shi Linlin, who was far away, heard this and immediately said in a muffled voice: "Holy monk, I saw a good place to take shelter from the wind."

Chen Xi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shi Linlin facing in that direction. There seemed to be a village not far away.

However, judging from its appearance, it has been abandoned for a long time and has become a place for storing sand.

"Let's go and have a look"

Upon seeing this, Chen Xi withdrew his gaze and headed towards the village with Shi Linlin and the toad spirit.

In less than half a cup of tea, they arrived at the village against the wind.

The village was built in a valley, sheltered from the wind and occasionally with yellow sand blowing in.

This place is in a dilapidated state and doesn't look like a place where people live.

Most of the houses are in a dilapidated state, either leaking air or half buried in the sand.

They searched for a long time, and Chen Xi, who had sharp eyes, found a house that was still habitable.

Most of the house was buried in yellow sand, but it was able to withstand the strong wind and survive.

Chen Xi led the Toad Spirit and Shi Linlin, cleared the yellow sand a little, and crouched down to get in.

What surprised Chen Xi was that many of the furnishings in the house were still well preserved.

One can vaguely see how this family lived in the past.

The wind and sand outside the house had not stopped yet, so Chen Xi prepared to rest here for a while.

The toad spirit volunteered to clean the bed.

Shi Linlin, who had no hands, had to block the air leak and watch them rest.

While waiting for the bed to be made, Chen Xi suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the room!
"Ok?"

Chen Xi's attention was instantly drawn to it. He walked to the object and examined it carefully.

Then a strange statue of Bodhisattva came into view.

The Bodhisattva statue holds a precious stick in his right hand and a trident in his left hand. He is wearing colorful ribbons and a heavenly silk skirt.

But what is extremely strange is that the head of this Bodhisattva statue was artificially replaced with a rat head.

"Mouse Bodhisattva?"

Chen Xi shook his head and fiddled with the rat-headed Bodhisattva statue, but found nothing special about it.

This place is quite strange. Someone actually replaced the head of the Bodhisattva statue with a rat head.

He is really brave, not afraid of offending the gods and Buddhas.
Oh, no, the gods and Buddhas died a long time ago, so it's okay.
The most famous Bodhisattva in Huangfengling, if he remembered correctly, should be Lingji Bodhisattva.

Needless to say, the most famous monster is naturally the famous Yellow Wind Monster.

The head of the Bodhisattva statue has now been replaced with a mouse head. Could it be related to the monsters in this place?
Or is it related to the Yellow Wind Monster?
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, constantly wondering what had happened here.

But after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know if there is a Yellow Wind Monster here."

"If the Yellow Wind Monster is still here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cross the 800-mile Yellow Wind Ridge."

Chen Xi stroked the Rat-Headed Bodhisattva with a solemn expression.

Since he came to this world, he has never encountered a demon with a name on his journey to the West.

The only black bear demon was still a dead skeleton.

"Quack! Master Buddha, come and lie down, it's so comfortable!"

The toad spirit used yellow sand and dead grass to make a bed and called Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was on the road all the time at this time and didn't even have time to rest in Futu Mountain.

Under such circumstances, Chen Xi had already felt a little tired.

He yawned, and the feeling of no more sounds in his head made him eager to have a good sleep.

But it's not the right time yet.

Chen Xi slowly took out the human skin paper from his arms.

He bit his fingertips, and drops of blood emitting a strange fragrance were smeared on the human skin paper.

Bloody words slowly emerged on the human skin paper.

[I am Chen Xi. When you see this sentence, I will be dead.]

[I died in a strong wind that could darken the heavens and earth and worry the ghosts and gods.]

[My head was beaten into a pulp, and my body became the demon's forbidden food.]

[The night passed in a flash, and the wind and sand stopped for a while. 】

[The wind here is strange, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.]

[Seeing this situation, I decided to take the Toad Spirit and Shi Linlin with me and cross the 800-li Yellow Wind Ridge as quickly as possible.]

【We headed westwards in the wind and sand. 】

[The mountain roads here are rugged and covered with yellow sand, making it very difficult to walk. ]

[Along the way, bones were buried in the yellow sand everywhere, which looked quite desolate. ]

[We had not been walking for long when we saw a strong wind blowing through, lifting up the yellow sand and revealing a pit of bones.]

[There are a lot of bones piled up in the pit, it looks like a lot of people died. ]

[This mass grave-like scene before my eyes made me shake my head repeatedly.]

[This place is not a good place. I don’t know how many people have died here. ]

【We stopped for a few moments and then decided to leave. 】

[Unexpectedly, not long after walking, I saw the skeletons in the mass grave were actually moving! ]

[These skeletons stood up from the yellow sand with a crackling sound, as if they had sensed the presence of living things, and turned to look at us.]

[I have seen so many scenes, how could I be scared by these skeletons? ]

[I immediately used my clairvoyance to instantly see through their whereabouts.]

[It turns out that they are a kind of monster called bone spirit. ]

[As the saying goes: On the ridge lies a pile of bones, with skin and flesh both withered and thriving. ]

【Wandering around and forgetting my surname, where is my hometown? 】

[These bone spirits are all merchants, travelers, etc. who died in a foreign land. ]

[After death, the bones become demons and are buried under the yellow sand. ]

[The strong winds at Huangfeng Ridge continued to blow day and night, and the tombs of the skeletons were naturally destroyed by the strong winds.]

[Without the tomb, the bones of the spirits are exposed. This is a common occurrence. 】

[Over time, these bone spirits were exposed to the wind and sun, and their resentment naturally grew stronger.]

[Once they saw a living thing, they all crawled out of the yellow sand like hyenas seeing blood.]

【Seeing this, I waved my hand.】

[The toad understood what was going on, and he carried the dragon bone staff and headed towards the bone spirits.]

[The toad spirit flicked its long tongue, rolled up several bone spirits, and smashed them to the ground.]

[The already extremely fragile skeletons were shattered into pieces. ]

[And that’s not all. The dragon bone staff in the toad demon’s hand turned, accompanied by a faint dragon roar.]

[It smashed the bone spirits to pieces with its left and right strikes.]

[The Toad Spirit's strength is obviously quite impressive, far surpassing that of an ordinary little demon.]

[When it saw that all the bone spirits were killed, it ran back to me with great pride to claim the credit.]

[But at this moment, we suddenly heard a burst of glib praise coming from behind a huge rock.]

[“Hehe, fellow demon brothers, this is a really good trick.”

[“If we talk about this ability to fight fiercely, it is really rare in the world!”]

[As soon as he finished speaking, a sneaky guy emerged from behind the boulder.]

[This guy is wrapped in a red robe, tightly wrapped and airtight, looking quite mysterious.]

[It hid in a red robe and bowed to us repeatedly with a smile.]

[“But fellow demon brothers, please don’t go any further.”]

[“This road is a dead end. If you force your way through, you will surely die!”]
