The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Master Hairwood had already automatically blacklisted Red Boy. He shot him a glance and ignored him.

Instead, it was Chen Long who asked, “Master, what should we do? Why do we pray to her? Could there be someone more powerful above her. Is it God?”

Master Hairwood shook his head. “The Pleiadian technology is already very advanced. There is no person or god above them. As I said, the Pleiadian technology is focused on the use of the mind and psyche energy. We are praying for Xewa. Our psyche energy will cross the river of time and land on her body, and her psyche energy will be boosted. With powerful psyche energy, she can do more things and speed up the process. She can rush to Earth earlier and bring us away.”

Everyone looked enlightened as Fangzheng frowned. Wasn’t the theory that Hairwood was talking about so-called faith and incense offerings in Buddhism?

“Master, what should we do?” asked Jiang Yumeng.

Master Hairwood said, “I have a cultivation technique here. This cultivation technique can enhance everyone’s psyche energy. By following what’s written on it, it can extend one’s psyche energy to communicate with Xewa. Most importantly, the Pleiadian spaceship is driven by psyche energy. Therefore, if your psyche energy is insufficient, you will not be able to withstand the firing of the spaceship’s engines. The intense fluctuations of psyche energy will easily cause you to die inside.

“As Xewa said, when the spaceship comes, she will not take those with lacking psyche energy along. She’s here to save people, not to kill people. Staying might mean a chance of survival. Although living might not be better than dying, she doesn’t want her hands to be tainted with blood.”

Upon hearing this, the people who were initially hesitant immediately became nervous. One of them asked loudly, “Master, can you give me a book?”

Everyone knew that by making use of time to cultivate, they could quickly raise their psyche energy. If they reached the standards when the spaceship landed early, they could feel at ease.

All of them were shouting for a book.

At that moment, the female assistant stepped forward and said, “Everyone, the book will definitely be given to everyone. Printing a book isn’t expensive, but mass printing them isn’t cheap. Everyone knows that we are a non-profit organization. Everything we do is for the sake of humanity to continue. However, our finances are indeed very tight. I even suggested for Master to collect some money for the production costs, but Master has rejected it. Therefore, we will still give this book to everyone for free. Each one will get a copy.”

“Then why did we have to pay lesson fees when we came up?” Lu Qing suddenly raised his hand and asked.

The female assistant smiled and said, “We can do a service to teach everyone and help everyone, but we really can’t bear the cost of the venue. So, we need everyone to help pay for it. Thank you for your understanding.”

“Master is kind and compassionate. He has sacrificed so much for humanity. What’s wrong with collecting a few hundred yuan as fees? If you don’t wish to board the ship, just leave. I’ll refund you the lesson fees!” said a student furiously.

When Lu Qing heard this, he was instantly pissed. He was about to argue but was stopped by Jiang Yumeng.

Master Hairwood added, “Everyone, don’t argue. I hope that the future ship will be harmonious and not have any arguments. We will be humanity’s last descendents and also its final hope. We have to love and help each other. Therefore, this is the first time, and I hope it will be the last. If everyone can’t abide by the rules, I will not take you away.”

Hearing those words, Lu Qing and the student immediately shut up, not daring to say a word.

Master Hairwood continued, “I can give this book to everyone for free, but I have only one request.”

“Master, please speak,” everyone said.

Master Hairwood said, “When you wake up in the morning, before and after your meals, before your work, or anything important, and before you sleep, please follow the requirements of the ceremony and pray to the sky using the text on the last page. Also, you have to spend an hour to three hours at night to cultivate the Constellation Transmission Art. You must not slack off on your cultivation!

“If you can accomplish this, you can come and collect your books. If you can’t do it, I’m sorry, you won’t be able to get the ticket to the ship. Of course, you can leave now. We will refund you the school fees. In order to ensure that everyone can complete the mission on time, you will stay here and accept inspection. We don’t charge any fees, and will provide board and lodging. But if you are unable to complete the mission and can’t contribute anything and to Xewa who’s fighting for us, I’ll have to ask you to leave. The tickets are limited. We need people that are useful.”

Upon hearing this, some of the new students frowned. Some of them were hesitant, wondering if they should head to the front to collect the books.

At this moment, some of the old students started to shout, “For the sake of saving people who have nothing to do with her, Xewa is fighting alone on Pleiades. We only need to pray for her. What’s so difficult about that? It doesn’t want your money or your life, just your prayers. If you can’t do that, why should we have you?”

“That’s right. It’s just prayers. It’s not something difficult.”

“Master Hairwood, give me a copy!” someone shouted.

With this person taking the lead, the newcomers got up one after another to collect their books. Those who received the books were also given a lanyard. There was a room number on it.

“Master, do we get it?” asked Red Boy.

Fangzheng smiled. “Let’s go take a look. I also wish to know what they have up their sleeve.”

With that said, Fangzheng got up and led Red Boy forward. They got two books and two lanyards, but Fangzheng was surprised to discover that he and Red Boy were separated! Furthermore, he noticed that the female assistant seemed to have done it on purpose, hoping to separate the people who knew each other.

Even the couple, Lu Qing, and Jiang Yumeng, were separated.

After everyone had collected their books, they returned to their seats and sat down.

Master Hairwood nodded in satisfaction and said, “Congratulations to all of you for taking the first step of survival. That’s right, even if we leave with Xewa, it’s not necessarily a good thing. Abandoning our home is definitely very bad, but we shoulder the hope of humanity. Therefore, as everyone prays, please enjoy life while you still can. Once we reach Pleiades, Xewa will arrange for us to attend school and study higher level sciences. Only science can lead us to the revival of our world!”

With that, he slowly got up and left the venue.

Following that, the female assistant walked forward and held the book in her hands. As if she was holding a bible in her hands, she said with a solemn and sacred expression, “Everyone, next, I will teach everyone how to pray and the preparations needed before praying. Firstly, we need to bathe and change our clothes. We have to wash away the filth on our bodies, and make our minds clear. Then…”
