Chapter 1379: Don’t Come In
Without another word, Fangzheng said, “Don’t say anything. Help me do the exchange!”
“Are you sure?”
Fangzheng nodded immediately. “Of course! I feel uneasy not knowing why it’s all blank!”
The System said, “Ding! Congratulations. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Medicine King Bodhisattva have leveled up by two levels. Please check it through the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque. The additional powers have greatly been improved. Figure it out yourself.”
After the System gave its notification, it chuckled and said, “Congratulations. You still have 3.50 yuan in incense money available. You can have a bowl of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water.”
Fangzheng felt like crying when he heard that. “You must have done it on purpose.”
“Hehe…”
After asking the System for the method to increase his lifespan, Fangzheng immediately ran to Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.
The moment he entered the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, Fangzheng realized that the Medicine King Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque were clearly different from before. The two Bodhisattvas looked even more eye-catching as they seemed to emit Buddhistic light. However, if one looked carefully, there was nothing…
However, Fangzheng knew that it wasn’t an illusion. It was just not that easy to tell.
Fangzheng ignored everything. According to the System, he needed to gather the Buddhistic medicine Spirit Qi on his finger and flick his finger to send the Spirit Qi onto the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue. The next moment, he felt his mind explode!
It was as if he had seen the Door to Hell open once more. He saw that in the depths of hell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was sitting cross-legged above the boundless sea of blood. The endless numbers of vengeful souls were kneeling down and shouting, “Amitabha!” Then, beams of Buddhist light descended, reforming these souls and sending them to Paradise…
At that moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly looked at Fangzheng and flicked his finger. A golden beam of light flew out from deep within the sea of blood and headed straight for Fangzheng!
Fangzheng subconsciously grabbed it!
Almost at the same time, Fangzheng felt the golden light drill into his palm and enter his body through his palm. It melted and filled his entire body. His body felt warm… as though his entire body had been nourished.
When Fangzheng opened his eyes again, he was surprised to discover that his white brows had turned a little black! Although it wasn’t too eye-catching, it was indeed black…
“It’s indeed effective!” Fangzheng knew that his lifespan had indeed increased. Otherwise, his eyebrows would not have turned black.
Since it was effective, Fangzheng was relieved. He calculated how much the Buddhistic medicine’s Spirit Qi could produce a day before producing the tiny bit of Extreme Yang Qi. This also meant that he could increase his lifespan by one year a day! He could increase his lifespan by 365 years in 365 days!
It was definitely enough for him to spend!
Fangzheng could not help but laugh out loud. At the same time, he asked the System, “System Bro, this Extreme Yang Qi doesn’t seem to only increase one’s lifespan. This Penniless Monk feels that all his vital energies are different.”
The System said, “Extreme Yang can nourish the soul and enhance your vital energies. It can be said to be great nourishment for your body. If you consume the Extreme Yang Qi for a long period of time, you might even be able to succeed in cultivation even in this world. In addition, with the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque’s level raised, as well as the increase in your monastery’s merit and wish forces, there will be more and more Extreme Yang you can extract. It’s not impossible for you to ascend to the heavens using this.”
Fangzheng was delighted when he heard that. “Doesn’t that mean that I can ascend even without earning merit?”
The System said, “It’s just your strength increasing. Becoming a Buddha or an immortal isn’t just about strength. Be it immortals or Buddhas, it’s a kind of ascension of the heart. If one’s heart is lacking, you can at most be considered a more powerful person.”
Fangzheng was rendered speechless. “Do you mean that just having strength doesn’t make me Buddha?”
The System said, “Becoming Buddha is a cultivation of the heart. If one’s heart is lacking, how can one become Buddha? Do you not understand this principle?”
Fangzheng smiled bitterly. How could he not understand? He had seen this sentence countless times in the Buddhist scriptures. He had said it to people many times, but when used on him, he could not help but be eager for success.
“It’s useless to say anything now. Everything will be gone in a year…” Fangzheng shook his head and stopped arguing with the System.
Since his lifespan was guaranteed, Fangzheng no longer wished to save his lifespan. He ran straight to the back mountain and after confirming that there was no one there, he activated his Heavenly Eye and looked into the distance. He looked straight into the distance and saw the first day after a year into the future! Furthermore, he sped things up by skipping. He saw two days in a second!
Everything seemed the same.
The second day!
Everything was the same!
Third day, fourth day…
Fifty-one days!
Everything was the same!
…
In April, which was exactly a year from today, the world remained the same. There was no change.
However, when Fangzheng saw the next day, the world suddenly turned blank!
Fangzheng was instantly taken aback. The Heavenly Eye automatically closed the moment he was in a daze! Fangzheng felt his throat itch as he subconsciously coughed twice. When he raised his hand, he jumped in fright. His hand was covered in wrinkles. It was like the hand of a centenarian!
Fangzheng hurriedly took out his cell phone and took a selfie. He saw that the face of the Fangzheng in the picture was covered with wrinkles…
Fangzheng did a count of the time. He had scanned the future for four months at a go. With one second taking two days—half of 120 days—he had spent 60 years looking into the future. Furthermore, he was originally twenty years old. With the two added together, he was now an eighty-year-old!
Fangzheng said with a wry smile, “Man, thankfully, I snapped awake from fright. Otherwise, if I were to continue watching, I would have died from looking into the future. There’s no need for me to bother about renouncing asceticism.”
Following that, Fangzheng’s expression turned solemn. He saw that the world would turn blank a year from tomorrow!
However, Fangzheng had no idea how it turned blank! He looked at the future and only took a look at the scenery in the future at midnight. As long as there was something else, he would skip it. It was all to save time.
Hence, he still did not know what had happened that day.
But now, Fangzheng did not dare look further. What if he died from looking into the future? So what if he saw the truth?
Shaking his head, Fangzheng took out his All Beings Mask. However, after thinking about it for a long time, he eventually gave up. He put down his mask and returned to One Finger Monastery.
The moment he entered the backyard, Lone Wolf jumped out. “Who is it!? Uh, it smells like Master, and the monk robes are Master’s? Old bastard, what did you do to my master? Where did you hide the corpse?”
Fangzheng rolled his eyes when he heard that. He really wanted to slap the silly dog. What crappy eyes! What crappy nose!
Fangzheng said, “This Penniless Monk is your master!”
Lone Wolf shook his head. “Impossible! My master is still young. He’s not as ugly as you!”
“Can’t I turn old?”
Lone Wolf said, “Of course not! Unless you prove that you are my master, you are not allowed to enter the backyard!”
