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

Chapter 9 Death Prophecy
On the fifth day, the sky was just getting light.

"Tick!"

A drop of water fell to the ground.

Chen Xi woke up instantly and opened his eyes suddenly!

In an instant, the scene of the surrounding ruined temples came into his sight.

Not far away, the fat and white Bu Yantang was beating a wooden fish.

Its head drooped from time to time, as if it had not woken up yet.

Such a familiar scene made Chen Xi completely confused, and his mind went blank!
He seemed to have thought of something and looked behind him quickly.

I saw the headless Buddha statue, sitting right here at this moment!

This scene made Chen Xi gasp.

"How is this possible?"

"I, am I not dead?"

Overwhelming questions overwhelmed Chen Xi at this moment.

He covered his head, completely confused as to what was going on.

If Chen Xi remembered correctly, this scene happened exactly when he was about to take action!
Could it be that he fell asleep and everything that happened before was just a dream?

But this is too ridiculous. How can a dream be so real?
The more Chen Xi thought about it, the more confused his mind became. It was at this moment that he noticed the human skin spread on his thigh.

The human skin paper was stained with blood, and the scarlet words on it were very eye-catching!
Chen Xi only took a glance and felt like he was struck by lightning!

I saw familiar handwriting and fresh blood stains on the human skin paper.

The content was exactly what Chen Xi had written earlier, word for word!
Fighting against three demons and confronting the Buddha who broke his vows was a shocking sight for Chen Xi.

"How did my previous experience become a death prophecy of human skin?"

Chen Xi's doubts remained unabated, and his pupils dilated.

Could it be that the human skin paper has the power to bring him back to life and reverse the flow of time?

Or was it that everything that happened before was just a precognitive dream that the human skin paper had given him?

But if that is the case, how do we explain the writing on the human skin?
Chen Xi frowned, puzzled.

Even he, whose thoughts were somewhat divergent, thought of a possibility.

Could it be that all the death prophecies written on the parchment are actually true?
Every death prophecy means that he has died once before.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the things I wrote before my death would appear at this time.

But if that's the case, why doesn't he have any memory of the previous death prophecy?
Chen Xi racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, the human skin paper is in his hands. As long as he is still alive, he will figure it out sooner or later.

As for whether the human skin paper has the ability to bring the dead back to life, Chen Xi doesn't dare to gamble.

In the past, he might have been able to say, "Don't care about life or death, just fight if you don't agree!"
But after experiencing death, Chen Xi finally understood!
What's the point of being indifferent to life and death? A good death is always worse than a miserable life.

The feeling of death is too painful, and Chen Xi never wants to experience it a second time.

Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to deal with this mess that has troubled him for five days!

Chen Xi calmed down, silently put away the human skin paper, and then looked at the demon not far away.

“I don’t have much time left.”

Chen Xi took a deep breath. As far as he could remember, he had already used water to kill Buyan Tang at this time before.

But now, because of the death prophecy written on the human skin paper, a lot of time has been delayed.

If he were to attack suddenly again like he did last time, a lot of variables would probably occur.

The most intuitive thing is that Bu Wen Tu will wake up early!
If he fails to deal with one of them, Chen Xi may have to face two demons and repeat the same mistakes. Based on this, if Chen Xi wants to survive, he must change his plan.

"The reason why we failed last time was ultimately because of the demon. It was just too abnormal."

"From the beginning to the end, I just made the monk fall, and it almost cost me half my life."

Chen Xi's thoughts were running wild as he summed up his experience of failure and thought about countermeasures.

Given his current physical condition, it would be too difficult for him to fight against the monsters.

If possible, he must try his best to avoid direct conflict with the monster this time, and it would be best to win by using wisdom!

Compared to the three-headed demon, Chen Xi’s biggest advantage is that he knows a lot about the future that even they don’t know.

Now, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. It is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

After a death experience, Chen Xi was no longer so afraid of the three-headed demon.

After all, they are not invincible.

What really scares Chen Xi is the Buddha who breaks his vows after waking up!
When Chen Xi thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the headless Buddha statue.

At this moment, the headless Buddha statue appears so harmless to humans and animals.

No one can see that it is the final boss.

"If you want to survive, you must find a way to get past the stage of breaking the precepts."

"As long as I can wait until that dragon roar is heard, I will have hope of survival!"

Chen Xi's eyes flashed, his heart as clear as a mirror.

In his mind, all the things that he had experienced when he faced the Buddha who broke his precepts suddenly emerged.

Gradually, he really noticed a rather strange thing.

After the broken-precept Buddha regained consciousness, his attitude toward him seemed strange.

It was also a demon, but it did not kill him like the three-headed demons, but wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood immediately.

Instead, he used words to seduce Chen Xi, wanting him to devote himself to the Buddha.

He clearly has the ability to crush Chen Xi to death directly, but he insists on going to so much trouble to do so. His behavior is really weird.

Now that Chen Xi thought back, it seemed that the Buddha who broke the precepts' words and actions at the beginning did not want to eat him directly, but seemed to be asking for offerings?

When Chen Xi thought of this, he frowned immediately, as if he was a little confused about what the Buddha's intention was.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chen Xi's mind!
Instantly, a passage from the death prophecy on the human skin paper emerged in his mind.
[“Don’t steal it. Save some good meat for offering to the Buddha. Without rain, the Buddha will wake up soon.”]

"Leave some good meat to offer to Buddha. Maybe"

At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly realized!

Before, he was wondering why the three-headed demon wanted to offer flesh and blood to the awakened Buddha?
Now it seems that it is the three-headed demon!
They are afraid that when the Buddha wakes up and there is no meat to eat, he will choose to eat them!

Since you have broken the Buddha's precepts, you should also break the precepts of eating meat.

Thinking of this, the Buddha who broke the precepts did not take action directly, but asked for it. He probably wanted Chen Xi to offer human flesh to him!

If Chen Xi had understood the meaning of breaking the Buddha's precepts at that time, the result might have been completely different.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case.

After all, where could he get human flesh for the Buddha who had broken his precepts in this desolate mountain and wilderness?
Even if there is someone in this broken place, it can only be a demon!
Wait, a demon?
Chen Xi suddenly thought of something and his expression suddenly became strange.

"Hmm? It seems that it doesn't say that human flesh is required, right?"
