The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Fangzheng said with a bitter smile, “Immortals don’t care, but I care. Forget it. I’ll use less of it in the future…”

Although he said that, when he thought about how the future he had seen with the Three Lives Zen Staff was emptiness, his heart trembled. He couldn’t help but want to use his Heavenly Eye to see the future.

Looking at the future was equivalent to death. Damn it…

What a dilemma!

Fangzheng felt conflicted as he sighed and shook his head. He dispersed the chaos in his mind and opened the door to leave.

Without going to the front yard, Fangzheng strolled through the bamboo forest in the back mountain. He hoped that he could feel better by taking a stroll.

However, the more he walked, the more confused he became. The thought of the end of the world never dissipated, as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat. It irritated him.

After being tormented for three days, Fangzheng finally couldn’t sit still any longer. He muttered to himself, “Buddha can cut his flesh to feed an eagle. This Penniless Monk will only lose a little lifespan. So what? I’m going to take a look!”

With that said, Fangzheng immediately added, “Just one look. It’s just one second… It’s nothing to lose a year’s lifespan.”

Therefore, Fangzheng ran out of the monastery and found a mountain peak with a broad view. He took a deep breath, held his breath, and focused. He activated his Heavenly Eye!

When Fangzheng opened his eyes once again, Fangzheng felt the world shatter. Following that, the scene in front of him turned…

White!

“How is that possible?” Fangzheng was stunned. He was only looking at the situation a hundred years later. After all, based on the Three Lives Zen Staff, Fangzheng felt that a life was about a hundred years, so all he did was look at a hundred years later. Yet, it was blank!

Fangzheng gradually shortened the time. 90 years!

Blankness!

80 years!

Blankness!

70 years!

Blankness!

…

30 years!

Blankness!

Ten years!

Blankness!

Five years!

Blankness!

One year!

BOOM.

The scenery in front of him appeared once again. Fangzheng saw a world filled with greenery. People were laughing happily, and there was no natural disaster or calamity!

He added one year after another.

Two years!

Boom!

Blankness!

Almost at the same time, Fangzheng felt a sharp pain in his head. He cried out as he lay on the ground hugging his head. He was unable to get up after a long time.

By the time Fangzheng sat up again, it was an hour later.

Fangzheng hurriedly took out his cell phone and took a selfie. When he saw it, Fangzheng’s heart trembled.

He had said that he would only look for a second, but he ended up looking for nearly twenty seconds. He had aged more than ten years!

The over-exhaustion of his vitality caused his eyebrows to turn white.

Fortunately, his physical body was not that old, so he still looked young.

However, Fangzheng knew very well that he had aged by over ten years!

“What exactly happens a year later? What exactly is it that causes this world to become an nonexistent blankness?”

Although he saw the future, Fangzheng did not clear his puzzlement. Instead, he felt even more puzzled.

Looking at the world, Fangzheng wished he could flip through time day by day from that fateful year and see what was happening.

However, Fangzheng did a count with his fingers. If he was lucky, he would see it a few days after a year. If he was unlucky, Fangzheng didn’t have the lifespan to waste.

“One year… Let’s wait. When the time comes, regardless of the danger, I’ll tank it.” Fangzheng made up his mind and walked back.

As he walked, Fangzheng asked the System, “System Bro, how much incense money do I need for my Divine State to be upgraded?”

The System said, “The Divine State is different from the other divine powers. It is all-encompassing, representing endless possibilities. Therefore, upgrading the Divine State from the first level to second level requires ten thousand incense offerings. This will increase tenfold with every level!”

When Fangzheng heard that, he immediately felt his head swell! He counted with his fingers. Goodness, to raise the Divine State to its highest level, he needed a trillion incense money!

Upon thinking of this number, Fangzheng felt his scalp tingle. He decisively shook his head and said, “I can’t afford to level it up. I can’t… Forget it.”

Although he said that, Fangzheng was thinking about how to earn more incense money.

Compared to the other divine powers, Divine State had more possibilities. Hey could do whatever he wanted and have infinite divine powers. Whether it was attacking or saving people, they were all top-notch divine powers. For the future, he decided that from today onwards, he would earn money! He would earn a trillion in a year!

It was easy to imagine. After returning to One Finger Monastery, Fangzheng began worrying again.

Firstly, all the items produced by the System could not be sold for money!

Secondly, if it wasn’t money that devotees willingly donated to the monastery, he couldn’t use it to level up his divine powers!

Therefore…

“Be famous! This Penniless Monk will become more famous!” Fangzheng made up his mind to earn fame and get more people to come to One Finger Monastery. This way, he would receive more incense money!

At the same time, Fangzheng locked his sights on the rich. After all, he knew that Yalman and company had come to visit him in the past. They could easily produce more than a hundred million US dollars.

If he wanted to get a trillion as quickly as possible, he would have to make a move on these rich people!

With this in mind, Fangzheng no longer planned on staying on the mountain. He planned on heading out to take a look and try his luck.

At that moment, Red Boy patted him. “Master, quickly go out and take a look. There’s a patron who has suicidal thoughts. She wants to see you. I’m out of solution. Salted Fish has been crying for an hour with her…”

Fangzheng immediately dispelled the messy thoughts in his mind when he heard that. He walked out of the backyard, and when he reached the front yard, he saw a woman and Salted Fish sitting there crying.

However, it was obvious that the woman couldn’t out-cry Salted Fish. The moment Salted Fish opened his mouth, it was like a trumpet, causing the woman to cry in a daze.

However, the woman was really sad and her tears continued to flow.

When Salted Fish saw Fangzheng come, he hurriedly ran over and said, “Master, it’s better for you to go. This time, I’ve encountered a serious problem. Crying won’t solve the problem.”

Fangzheng felt helpless as he made him stay aside as he walked over.

When the woman saw Fangzheng, she ran over and knelt down. At the same time, she shouted, “Master, I don’t want to live anymore… Sob…”

Fangzheng hurriedly turned his body to avoid her gesture. He had no reason to accept it. He hurriedly went over to help her up as he said, “Female Patron, tell me slowly if there’s anything. Don’t be in a rush to seek death. It’s terrifying.”

Fangzheng’s words were somewhat cheeky. The woman was clearly taken aback and forgot to cry.

Only then did Fangzheng see the woman’s appearance clearly. She wasn’t ugly and could be said to be pretty good-looking. She had long hair, a white T-shirt, light gray checkered pants, and her figure was very good. She could be said to be very good in every aspect. She would be snatched by many when up for grabs…

However, Fangzheng had seen many beauties before, so his immunity to them was not bad.

Coupled with the fact that the woman was crying non-stop and her makeup was all ruined, her beauty did not leave as great an impact as before.

Seeing that the woman was no longer crying, Fangzheng signaled for the woman to sit by the side. At the same time, he smiled at the surrounding workers. “Patrons, there’s no need to watch, right?”
