Black Myth: Journey to the West – Simulate Becoming Immortal!

"If you leave again, I'm afraid you will be headless."

The ethereal and pleasant voice of the Stone Mother echoed in Chen Xi's mind.

At this moment, Chen Xi was struck by lightning, and the chill ran up his spine from his feet.

How is this possible? !

Why is what Lingji Bodhisattva said exactly the same as that of the headless monk! ! !

Could it be that Lingji Bodhisattva is really not dead, and he is the headless monk?

But if so, how did such a powerful person fall into such a situation?

If he is really not dead, how could Huangfeng Mountain be ruled by the Yellow Wind Monster?

Chen Xi's face changed continuously, and the words of the Stone Mother really shocked him.

He hurriedly asked, his tone no longer as calm as before.

"Did the Bodhisattva only leave this sentence?"

"When he left, was there anything unusual, or did he leave you any other instructions?"

After hearing this, the Stone Mother thought quietly for a moment before speaking.

"The Bodhisattva is not unusual, but I could see that she seemed a little uneasy."

"He once specifically told me that if the holy monk came, I would help him to move forward and fulfill his destiny."

"I still need these children I have conceived to help the holy monk."

After the Stone Mother finished speaking, Shi Cangcang and Shi Shuangshuang, who were waiting beside the Stone Mother, could not help but move.

Chen Xi glanced at them and felt a little confused.

How could these weak stone monsters help him?

At this time, the Stone Mother lowered her body and stroked Shi Cangcang and Shi Shuangshuang.

"Saint monk, although I don't know the deep meaning of the Bodhisattva's words, let these children go with you this time."

"I have heard the Bodhisattva's admonition that we were evil people for nine lifetimes, so now we are reincarnated into this stubborn stone body..."

Stone Mother bowed her head and also admonished the two stone monsters, with both tenderness and reluctance in her words.

"Children, now the Saint Monk has arrived and needs your help, then you should go with the Saint Monk."

"If you can help the Saint Monk, fulfill your destiny and save this demon world from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Use infinite merits to resolve past sins, and the stubborn stone will be freed, and will no longer have to suffer with me, then mother will be satisfied."

While Stone Mother was admonishing, Shi Cangcang and Shi Shuangshuang suddenly showed some sadness and reluctance.

Stone Mother gently raised her head and looked at Chen Hui.

"Saint monk, I'll trouble you with the next things."

Shi Mu's entrustment made Chen Xi feel pressured, and his shoulders seemed to be a little heavier.

Now he is still in danger, and he can only take one step at a time.

Does he really have the ability to accept the entrustment?

Chen Xi turned around and wanted to greet the Toad Spirit and Shi Linlin.

However, when he saw Shi Linlin's current appearance, he was shocked!

Shi Linlin was still immersed in the farewell just now.

It became more and more dazed, and kept muttering to itself.

"No, no, no, I was transformed into stone by the Zen master, how could you be my mother!"

"No! No! I was conceived by my mother, my mother is a stone"

Shi Linlin swayed his body, and his posture became more and more crazy.

The words in his mouth were very confusing, without logic, and he seemed to be in great pain.

Shi Mu seemed to be a little distressed when she saw this.

It came up with great effort and gently stroked Shi Linlin.

"Child, if you feel uncomfortable, don't think about it anymore. If you can't tell the difference, then don't tell it."

"Mother knows that you have had a hard time these years. As long as mother still remembers you, it's fine."

"As long as you can live well in the future, it doesn't matter if you forget mother..."

"Child, it's okay, mother is here..."

Shimu kept comforting her softly, and Shi Linlin's confused thoughts slowly calmed down, and she no longer showed pain on her face.

This...

Chen Xi looked at this scene, and his doubts increased instead of decreasing.

What is the origin of Shi Linlin and Shimu?

Didn't Shi Linlin say that his mother was not a stone?

Chen Xi thought about it and didn't choose to break the casserole to ask the bottom.

Now continuing to ask will only make Shi Linlin more confused, which is of no benefit to the current situation.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Chen Xi didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear of missing the headless monk.

Taking advantage of the remaining time, Chen Xi wanted to get some useful information from Shi Mu about the headless monk.

In order to confirm whether the headless monk was Lingji Bodhisattva as he thought!

However, unexpectedly, even Shi Mu, who lived here and had even seen Lingji Bodhisattva, did not know who the headless monk was.

Shi Mu only knew that the headless monk had existed in Huangfeng Ridge a long time ago.

And he called himself Daosheng Monk, which seemed to have nothing to do with Lingji Bodhisattva.

"This..."

Chen Xi became more and more confused as he listened. Since the headless monk was the so-called Daosheng Monk, why did he say the same words as Lingji Bodhisattva?

He frowned, a little confused.

However, although he did not learn anything about the headless monk from Shi Mu, he was not without gain.

At least, he found out from Shi Mu... Shi Gandang.

"It is said that the stone dang was once the mount of Lingji Bodhisattva. Because he committed a serious mistake, he was sealed here by the Bodhisattva to reflect on his sins."

"The evil demon has given up his way. His sins are hard to redeem. He will be stripped of his six eyes and sealed in the earth forever."

"As for the awakening method mentioned by the holy monk..."

The Stone Mother seemed to hesitate, and spoke after some consideration.

"The Bodhisattva once established three things, namely, water dripping through the stone, the stubborn stone nodding, and the stone being boiled in the pot. If any of the three things is accomplished, then you will be liberated!"

Chen Xi was stunned, and his heart sank again and again.

If he wanted to call the stone dang out, he had to drip water through the stone, the stubborn stone nodding, and the stone being boiled!

How could he do this?

Moreover, where did he have the time to think about these things...

"Wait a minute..."

Just when Chen Xi's face was ugly and he didn't know what to do.

His ears moved slightly, and he heard a familiar strange voice outside.

This situation was just as the human skin paper had predicted.

"It's him!"

Chen Xi's eyes condensed, and he didn't care to think about anything else, and hurriedly said goodbye to the Stone Mother.

Then, the divine foot was activated!

Lotuses bloomed under his feet, and he ran straight to the sound!

At this moment, the questions and confusions in his heart have already piled up into a mountain.

What is the relationship between the headless monk and Lingji Bodhisattva?

What does the so-called liberation of the stubborn stone mean?

How can he release the so-called Shi Gan Dang?

You can't really let him wait for some water drops to penetrate the stone, right?

Chen Xi must take this opportunity to stop the headless monk and ask all these things clearly

It was just when the sun was setting and the sky was dark!

Chen Xi rushed out of the crystal cave, and Shi Linlin, Shi Cangcang, and Shi Shuangshuang, who were entrusted by the Stone Mother, followed closely behind him.

The toad spirit was squeezed by them and almost didn't catch up.

In a short while, Chen Xi found the sound.

I saw a huge rugged stone standing on a piece of yellow land.

The headless monk sat on the jagged rocks, playing the sanxian and boiling stones.

He gestured with his hands from time to time, singing strange tunes in his belly, looking crazy.

"Strange, strange, strange, nine generations of evil people are in the stone bones~"

"All causes and effects are debts, and reincarnation does not stop the suffering of the world~"

"We met but did not know each other, the wanderer left his loving mother~"

"Today I met the destiny, boiled in the stubborn stone pot~"

"Monkey hair turned into a stone demon, six words pressed the loess~"

"Six eyes can return, the demon has been subdued and the tiger has been subdued~" Chen Xi listened to the headless monk's strange lyrics, and his face changed.

This time, the headless monk's lyrics were different from those simulated by the human skin paper!

It seems that he did not make any mistakes this time.

And if he remembered correctly, the headless monk's lyrics seemed to come from Zhigong monk.

As the saying goes, the old and strange, the old and strange, the grandson marries the grandmother.

Cows and sheep sit on the kang, and relatives are cooked in the pot.

Daughters eat the mother's meat, and sons beat the father's skin drum.

Everyone comes to congratulate, I think it's really bitter.

According to the original meaning, this line of lyrics should refer to the suffering of reincarnation of sentient beings.

Relatives have never recognized each other, there are two people in the word meat, and the inner one is connected to the outer one.

Sentient beings still eat the flesh of sentient beings, think carefully about cannibalism.

The closest relatives may be the sentient beings you killed.

The most hated enemies may be your own parents and children.

Everything is a continuation of cause and effect, and sentient beings reincarnate.

The monkey hair in the song turned into a stone demon and was pressed into the loess by the six characters. Could it be talking about the footsteps of this stone?

The headless monk sang this this time. Is he hinting at something?

Nine generations of evil people, meeting but not knowing each other

Isn't this talking about the stone mother and Shi Linlin?

The headless monk's lyrics seemed to be in line with what he had just experienced.

Or maybe he was hinting at the secret of Huangfeng Ridge in his words.

Chen Xi stared at the headless monk. This guy might have been paying attention to him secretly.

What was his purpose?

Could it be that it was the so-called destiny?

Chen Xi's mood became more and more irritable for some reason.

Especially when he heard the lyrics, "Today I meet destiny, and my family cooks in the pot."

He had a vague feeling of bad premonition.

Under the rugged rocks, there was a big iron pot.

There was boiling water in the pot, and bubbles were bubbling.

There was nothing in it, just waiting to be filled with stones!

At this moment, Chen Xi thought of what the stone mother said, that the stone must be boiled in the pot, and Shi Gan Dang could escape!

His pupils shrank slightly, and he realized something.

"You are a secretive person who refuses to speak directly and keeps talking nonsense!"

"Who are you and why do you act like this?!"

Chen Xi threw away the random thoughts in his mind, and a bit of anger appeared between his eyebrows.

He stepped forward and asked sternly.

The divine foot is ready to go, ready to use all its strength at any time to capture the headless monk.

However, the headless monk did not respond to Chen Xi.

It was crazy, shaking its body, repeating those lyrics over and over again.

It threw a hard stone casually and fell into the big iron pot.

In an instant, the stone shed its outer skin, revealing a smooth and shiny inside, and became extremely soft and elastic.

"Today I meet the destiny, and boil the stubborn stone in the pot~"

Shi Linlin muttered to himself, looked at Chen Xi, and then looked at the big iron pot.

It has been following Master Wuchao for a long time, and although it has not learned any real skills, it is not difficult to make witty remarks and tell riddles.

For Shi Linlin, the headless monk's words are almost a clear indication

No wonder the Bodhisattva that my mother talked about needs a group of little demons like them to follow the holy monk.

No wonder the Zen master said that Huangfeng Ridge is the place where the stubborn stone can be liberated.

"So, the place where we can help the holy monk is here..."

Shi Linlin looked at the big iron pot and muttered to himself.

For a moment, Shi Shuangshuang and Shi Cangcang could not help but feel an instinctive fear in their hearts.

"Quack? That stone, why are you staring at a pot and talking?"

The toad spirit seemed to notice that Shi Linlin seemed to be a little bit wrong, and immediately asked in confusion.

Shi Linlin did not answer, but just smiled bitterly.

Seeing this, Chen Xi's face became more and more ugly.

He had realized what the headless monk was up to.

He immediately stepped forward and wanted to stop Shi Linlin.

Unexpectedly, Shi Linlin shook her body and politely rejected him.

"Saint monk, that's all."

"I don't know why, I feel very tired, very tired."

"It seems like I have experienced a lot and seen a lot."

"Now the Zen master is gone, he entrusted the scriptures to you, the saint monk."

"Now let me help you, the saint monk, this is the Zen master's wish and my mother's wish."

"Here, maybe this is my destiny."

When Chen Xi heard this, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, not knowing what to do.

Destiny, it's the damn destiny again!

"You, wait a little longer, calm down, maybe we have other ways..."

Shi Linlin didn't say anything else and pushed Chen Xi's hand away.

Then, in the shocked eyes of the monsters, it jumped lightly and fell into the big iron pot.

The boiling water made Shi Linlin crack and explode continuously.

Shi Linlin was in great pain, but he didn't forget to ask questions to the headless monk.

"Master, if you have a compassionate heart, can you tell me?"

"Which of the things in my head are true and which are false?"

"Why do I remember that I have an old mother who is sick in bed?"

"But if that old mother is my mother, then what is the stone mother?"

"Am I enlightened by the Zen master, or was I born by the stone mother?"

The headless monk stopped playing the sanxian and stopped singing.

It made a sound in its belly, with a compassionate tone.

"Stone boy, you are obsessed with appearances"

"True and false, false and true, what is true and what is false?"

"Reincarnation never stops, sentient beings sink, why can't everything be true?"

"You were enlightened to become a stone, and you were born of a stone. It depends on whether you believe it in the end."

"Thank you, I understand..."

Shi Linlin let out a relieved laugh, and then the stone body peeled off, quickly sank into the pot, and fell apart.

In a moment, two smooth, full, and round white eyeballs were left in the big iron pot.

"Gua, this stone, Master Buddha, why is this happening?"

The Toad Spirit was confused for a moment when he saw Shi Linlin, who had been with him all the way, died just like that.

Chen Xi clenched his fists, and anger grew in his heart.

This damn headless monk

But he also knew that this was Shi Linlin's own choice.

And Shi Linlin's choice was also for him to be able to cross the 800-mile Huangfeng Ridge.

Chen Xi benefited from this, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Although he knew that his appearance was hypocritical

Could it be that it really had to be like this?
