Black Myth: You and I are both destined

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

No one answered. Tianming turned around and saw that Princess Halloween was standing still and unable to move. Even her clothes could not be blown by the wind.

'This is different from my immobilization spell! Something is wrong here!'

Tianming looked around vigilantly and rushed in immediately when he heard a noise in the house.

In the ancestral hall, an old monk in a grey robe was sitting on a big rock. There was a big hole on the top of the hall, which must have been smashed by the rock. The sunlight fell on the old monk through the hole, and there were shadows under the beam of light!

Although there was no demonic power fluctuation from the old monk, this was Ziyun Mountain. Those monsters hated monks so much that it was not easy for him to appear here.

"That……"

"The dragon girl is fine, but ordinary women are not allowed to enter here."

The old monk seemed to know what Tianming wanted to ask and answered first.

"The last time we mistakenly entered Ziyun Mountain was also your trick?"

The old monk raised his head. His cheeks were thin, his eye sockets were deep, his beard and eyebrows had turned white a long time ago, and his monk's robe was casually draped on his body without a belt at all. He looked more like a beggar who had been hungry for a long time.

"Even so."

Tian didn't expect that he could intercept them twice on the way. The old monk must be the one who could predict the future, he asked tentatively.

"The Great Sage said last time that someone invited him to Black Wind Mountain. Was that person you?"

"That's right."

The old monk held the beads in his hand and looked up at the big hole in the ancestral hall. The sunlight was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

He coughed, and his shriveled body trembled weakly.

"Ahem, where are you going, man of destiny?"

The old monk was well aware of his actions and naturally knew that he was going to the West, but he deliberately raised this question, and it was obvious that there was something else behind his words.

Tianming walked up and sat down in front of the old monk.

"It's impossible to survive in this world. I don't want to be fooled or killed, so I have to go to the West to find the mastermind behind this."

"So it was for freedom and survival. Then how did you know that you could find the person behind the scenes by going to Lingshan Mountain, and that you could survive by going to Lingshan Mountain?"

The old monk’s voice was hoarse and he spoke slowly, but he didn’t feel any pain until dawn.

Tianming saw that the old monk knew everything and had no intention of hiding anything.

"The Great Sage said that the guy in the sky was in trouble."

"I see that the Buddhist temples on the ground are full of monsters. The Buddha statues have been beheaded and their weapons have been removed. I think the monsters have taken the place of the gods and Buddhas now."

"There are still some cracks on the Black Wind Mountain, and the future Buddha appeared there."

"After thinking about it, I know that there will be big changes in the future. Maybe everything will be quiet!"

The old monk laughed and said, "Yes and no."

"What's wrong?"

"I heard from the fairies on Black Wind Mountain that Tang Monk and his party had been there fourteen years ago, or some said twenty-eight years ago."

"I think this world has already been affected by the four disasters of the future. Time and space are disordered. It will soon be destroyed."

The old monk seemed to be humming a little tune and did not agree with Tianming's guess.

"The Jade Emperor of Heaven has been practicing hard since he was young. He has endured 1,750 tribulations, each of which lasted 129,600 years. What demon is capable of replacing him?"

"Taishang Laojun is even more innate, having gone through countless calamities without being worn out in the slightest. What demon can replace him?"

He spoke slowly.

"Legend has it that 5000 years after the Buddha's Nirvana, Buddhism began to decline and eventually died out. This was a great catastrophe in the West."

"In Taoism, there are countless disasters over billions of years, and no one below the level of a saint can escape it!"

"You mean to say that the current situation is due to the influence of the Buddha's extinction calamity and the quantitative calamity?"

When the old monk heard Tianming say this, he sat up straight.

"Oh my, young people are so bold!"

"Let alone two disasters combined, if any of them happened, I would have found a shaded tree to lie down and take a nap. Why would I wait for you here?"

"The old monk is here to help you solve your doubts this time."

"But you have to eat your food one bite at a time, and talk about things one thing at a time."

He took a bead from the string in his hand and placed it in the palm of his left hand.

"God of destiny, guess which hand of mine is holding this Buddhist bead?"

The old monk didn't seem to know how to play this game. He didn't even pass the beads between his hands and was too lazy to even make a fist.

Tianming was not confident about the old monk's operation and pointed at his left hand.

"It's on the left hand. What does that have to do with the answer?"

"No, no." The old monk actually talked nonsense with his eyes open.

This time Tianming really couldn’t understand, so he reached out to grab the Buddhist beads.

"It's right in your left hand, why not..."

He grabbed it, but his palm went through the beads and he couldn't pick it up at all.

He tried again, this time using his magic power, but still couldn't catch it.

But looking at the old monk, there was still no power fluctuation on his body, as if he was just an ordinary monk.

When the old monk saw that he couldn't catch Tianming, he said.

"Don't be fooled by its appearance. It is round, but it tells us that everything in the world is impermanent. This is the 'appearance'."

“Everything you see, hear, and think is on the surface.”

Then the old monk handed the Buddhist beads to Tianming. Only then did Tianming realize that it was just a ball of Buddha's light, not real beads.

"It is not in your hands, so how can you know that all dharmas are empty? This is the 'inside', which you have never seen before, so you cannot think of it."

"But if one transcends emptiness and sees the truth, this is enlightenment, this is transcendence."

The sash behind the old monk was flying, and anyone could see how extraordinary he was!

He moved his hunched body and slowly stood up.

"You want to go to the West, to Yellow Wind Ridge."

"Have you thought about it?"

"You might as well read these three stories of mine and know the truth about the world. It won't be too late to make plans later."

"Three stories?"

Tianming was just about to ask which three stories they were when he saw a monster behind the old monk!

That strange-looking monster looked like a hanged black boar!

Its whole body is covered with thick black hair, and it has a sturdy body and strong limbs.

The most striking thing is its tongue, which is abnormally long and almost hangs to the ground, much longer than that of a hanged ghost.

This monster is three meters tall. It was hiding in the darkness just now and did not emit any evil aura. But now its ferocious side is revealed!

"What is this?"

The monster’s tongue is too long and its mouth cannot speak, so it can only make continuous fierce noises!

As soon as he saw Tianming, he started drooling, and the next moment tears and snot flowed out together, as if he was eager to swallow the other person!

So greedy!

The old monk reached out and calmed the monster.

"He is tongue tasting thinking."

"You can go with him and read this first story."

Without waiting for Tianming to continue asking questions, the old monk ordered him to leave.

"Go, go, go and see, go and feel, and come back if you understand something."

Although it was the first time Tianming met the old monk, his words were very helpful to him.

Tianming turned into a small insect, lay on Shechangsi's shoulder, and left the Wangyue Temple with him.

[Spiritual Essence+1000]

Tianming was surprised. He obtained the spiritual essence without killing any monsters this time? !

……

After the two men left, the old monk came to the backyard and stood in front of a sculpture of a fairy.

He looked at the spirit that had left his body and spoke to the stone statue.

"After so many years, you must have figured it out by now."

"Old friend!"

“Only if you understand it this way can you be so deeply involved in it!”
