Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Chapter 43: The Past of Jinchi

Jin Chi is best at playing with people's hearts. He orders all the practitioners to do farm work under the scorching sun in summer and wash clothes with their bare hands in the cold river water in winter. He says these are all spiritual practice.

After the travelers finished their work, Jin Chi also sent monks to teach them stick techniques.

The life of practice and learning made these practitioners trust Jin Chi more, but what happened next was far beyond their imagination.

Jin Chi told them today.

A farmer at the foot of the mountain borrowed a large sum of money from the temple.

It was not until this time that they realized that the so-called Qingping Zen temple was actually so wealthy.

Jin Chi asked the monk to take the travelers down the mountain to recover the silver that had been lent.

When all the monks and travelers arrived at the village, they found that the person who borrowed the money was Mr. Li at the entrance of the village. He was a well-known good man in the village, but his son was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination recently, so he borrowed some money from the temple.

Uncle Li had prepared the money long ago, and in order to thank the temple he put some extra as a donation to the temple.

But the monk changed his face at this time. He told Uncle Li that the money lent out by the temple was taken from the Buddha, and he had to show filial piety and make offerings when paying it back.

In layman's terms, it means telling Mr. Li that although he only borrowed the money for one month, if he wants to pay it back now, he will have to pay more than five times the amount.

This was clearly extortion, but in the name of Buddha, Mr. Li finally gave in.

Finally he mortgaged his land to the temple.

After that, such incidents happened more and more frequently, and almost all the villagers became tenants of the temple. The temple tricked their land into belonging to them and then rented it back to them.

Seeing this, Tianming thought of Jinshan Temple again. He had seen these things once before.

But going back further, Jin Chi was not so lucky.

The imperial court began to restrict Buddhism on a large scale, his warrior monks and practitioners were dismissed, and his land was taken back by the imperial court.

Even Jin Chi was nearly beheaded, but luckily he bribed his superiors with a lot of money and managed to save his life.

This incident also became Jin Chi's nightmare.

No matter how much money you make, you can't beat the officials.

To do business, all you need is capital, a ruthless heart and a flexible mind, but being an official is different.

He has no background in his ancestors and no connections in the court. Even if he is very capable, he won't be able to make any splash.

But one day later, Guangzhi, who had just returned from his trip, helped him get rid of this nightmare.

One day, Guangzhi came running to him in a hurry and told him that a black bear demon had appeared on the Black Wind Mountain opposite the temple.

The black bear was so strong that it could shake a mountain and was extremely brave. Guangzhi said that he saved his life because he ran fast.

But Jin Chi was smarter and immediately saw through his lie.

If the powerful bear demon wanted to catch him, he would not be able to escape no matter how fast he ran.

So Jin Chi mustered up his courage and found the Black Bear Demon, wanting to form an alliance with him.

Unexpectedly, the black bear demon wanted neither gold, silver, nor gorgeous clothes, nor delicacies from mountains and seas.

The black bear demon wants 100 mercy.

He actually wants to become a Buddha!

In the end, Jin Chi tried every possible way and spent three years to prepare 3% of mercy to give to the Black Bear Demon.

"One hundred mercies? This mercy is something!"

Reading further on is the content of the original novel. When Tang Monk and his entourage were traveling to the West, they passed by Guanyin Temple and Jin Chi became greedy.

As a result, not only did he fail to burn Tang Seng and his companions to death, but he also destroyed his life's accumulation.

Then Jin Chi hit his head against the wall and died!

Seeing here, things that were originally clear become more blurred.

According to Jin Chi who I just met, Jin Chi is still alive in the future, but in his log, he has died by hitting his head against the wall, and there is no follow-up!

How could the truth and what is recorded be so separate?

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the future golden pool does have an impact on the other monsters in the temple.

Moreover, he must have some connection with the burnt blue giant, and it will be Jin Chi whether he can figure it out or not.

Tianming made a secret decision that after meeting the other two demon kings, he would return to find the wandering giant to find out the truth.

Tianming left the Zen temple and continued to walk deeper into the temple.

This time the route was a little longer. After passing through dense woods, we came to a fork in the road. There was a signpost here. Going up was the pagoda, and going down was the mountain stream.

What was so good about the towers of the monks that Tianming had trained in the past few days? So he turned around and walked downwards.

The sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, dappling the winding path.

The stream is crystal clear, the sound of gurgling water is accompanied by occasional bird calls, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and moist water vapor, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

In this quiet environment, a scholar in white appeared quietly.

He was wearing a plain white robe, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, making him look particularly elegant.

He has a handsome face, a scholarly air between his brows, and a barely perceptible depth and wisdom in his eyes.

The scholar in white sat on a flat stone by the stream, stroking a guqin in his hand.

His piano playing is melodious and profound, as if it can penetrate the soul and is fascinating. The sound of the piano echoes in the mountains, attracting passers-by to stop and listen.

But sitting next to him was a bald strong man with a large string of Buddhist beads on his back, and it seemed that he did not like listening to the piano.

Tianming leaned against a big rock and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"You all believed his lies and ended up like this, but I just don't believe it!"

The scholar in white stopped playing the piano and answered.

"Brother, doing what we do is the only way out."

"You have also seen the monk in the backyard. Only now can you become a Buddha or an Arhat. After this time, you will never have this opportunity again."

"Brother, don't you want to go to heaven with us and enjoy the days of being worshipped?"

The sturdy man touched his bald head and stood up.

"The eyes see joy, the ears hear anger, the nose smells love, the tongue tastes thought, the mind feels desire, and the body is filled with worry."

"He asked us to gather these six desires and go to heaven together."

"But in order to monopolize the quota, each of you split yourselves in half, and now you are neither human nor ghost in your dream."

"With the way you are now, even if you go up to heaven, you will be looked down upon by other Buddhas, and something bad will happen to you sooner or later!"

"Six desires?"

Tianming figured it out in his mind and realized that these were the six thieves that the Great Sage had mentioned.

It seems that using this method can really make you become an immortal or a Buddha instantly.

Those who are blinded by money and trapped by greed will dig out their eyes and show their joy.

Those who are easily angered by other people's words cut off their ears or pierce their eardrums so that they can no longer hear any sounds.

This extremely morbid method of sacrifice to achieve Buddhahood was unexpectedly fought over by these monsters. In order to achieve two Buddhahoods by one person, they actually cut themselves in half!

'But how did they do it?'

"What's going on with Jin Chi's time gap?"

In order to find out the truth, Tianming took two steps forward.
