The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

A monk led a young monk and a huge white wolf into the sunset. Finally, they vanished at the end of the street.

Many things happened that year. When China did a military exercise, it showcased shocking force. Instantly, the entire world was shaken. China became the center of attention.

Despite China being powerful, it still remained as graceful as a gentleman. It did not wish to be a hegemon, nor did it form alliances. It forever chose to engage in fair trade with any country. It would gain the support of the entire world and become a superpower of the new era.

However, what shocked Fangzheng the most was another matter.

“That’s odd. In the Heavenly Eye, today should be the day that the world turns blank. Why hasn’t there been any changes? Could it be that the blankness of the Heavenly Eye is fake?” Fangzheng stood at the door and looked around in confusion.

At that moment, Monkey’s cry came from behind him. “Ah, a wind is stirring! Master! Be careful!”

Fangzheng subconsciously turned his head and saw a white cloth land over him, covering his face.

At that instant, Fangzheng felt like dying. He roared inwardly, “White? So it’s because of this? F**k your grandmother. Isn’t this too much of a scam?”

Although he was cursing, Fangzheng vaguely felt that things weren’t that simple. What his Heavenly Eye saw was white. It could be white sheets. What about the future that the Three Lives Zen Staff saw? It was true blankness!

However, Fangzheng could not figure out the reason amidst his cursing. Helpless, he gave up.

“System, I’ve been doing good deeds now and accumulating merit. What’s the probability of drawing the Heavenly Eye at the draw?” Fangzheng really did not know how many things the System had available for drawing, but he really wanted to see what the future was like.

“Ding! If it were in the past, the chance of you getting the same item is one in a ten trillion. After all, there are still a lot of things in my inventory. But now, it’s different. The fact that you could give up everything to save people means that you have already reached the desired mental state. Therefore, from now on, you can exchange the items you once had with one chance at the draw. For example, the White Lunar Monk Robe, the Buddha Vat, the Crystal Rice… At the same time, you can use three chances at the draw to exchange for some item.”

Fangzheng’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He asked, “Can I exchange for the medicine to treat my disciples?”

“Yes.”

Fangzheng clapped and shouted immediately, “Jingfa, take away the sheets! Jingxin, let’s go!”

Red Boy hurriedly asked, “Master, what are you doing?”

Fangzheng smiled. “Aren’t you always shouting about going down the mountain? I’ll bring you down the mountain today!”

Red Boy was delighted when he heard that. “Master, have you finally figured things out? Haha! I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.”

“Cut the crap. Let’s go!” Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the head. Red Boy chuckled as he flew into the sky with Fangzheng and instantly left.

Lone Wolf looked at the blanket on the ground and shook his head. He picked it up and walked towards One Finger Monastery.

“Master, the mountains and rivers below are so beautiful.” Red Boy suddenly pointed at a mountain path beneath the clouds.

Fangzheng’s eyes lit up when he saw this. “Let’s go down and take a look.”

Red Boy nodded. He pressed down on the cloud and cast an invisibility spell as the two of them descended.

After finding a spot with no one around, he dispelled his Invisibility Spell. Red Boy wore the look of a child in an ordinary city. Fangzheng had also changed his appearance with the Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel. He had short hair and a warm and handsome face. As such, no one would link him with Fangzheng.

The two of them walked down the streets and, after taking a few steps, a woman walked towards them. She said with a smile, “Are you interested in a vacation? One-day tour of Elephant Trunk Hill and Yangshuo County, you can get off on the way. There’s no shopping, no lowest expenditure…”

Fangzheng subconsciously pressed his palms together when he heard that. However, he immediately reacted by hugging his chest with both hands. He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. We don’t have any money, so we won’t be able to visit it.”

“Brother, you’re not a local, right?” the woman asked.

Fangzheng nodded. “No.”

The woman smiled and said, “I’m not either. Since you aren’t, we can be partially considered fellow townsfolk.”

Fangzheng rolled his eyes when he heard that. F**k… What kind of logic was this!

The woman continued, “Are you here to have fun with your child?”

Fangzheng looked at Red Boy, whose eyelids were almost gone from the rolling of his eyes. He secretly tugged at his hair.

Red Boy knew that it was time for him to lie. Hence, he said, “That’s right. I… came… with Papi…”

Red Boy used an accent on the word “Papa” to fool her.

The woman was instantly amused when she heard that. “Heh, this child is quite spirited. It’s just that he’s not very eloquent. It’s a pity.”

Red Boy rolled his eyes once again when he heard that.

Fangzheng said, “Sis, we really don’t have any money. So we’ll make a move.”

The woman clearly did not believe him and looked around warily. After confirming that there was no one around, she picked out a card from her bag mysteriously and said, “At least you’re lucky. On account of the fact that we’re partial townsfolk and for the sake of the poor child, I’ll help you get in through the back door.”

As she spoke, she handed the card to Fangzheng and said, “This is a ten-year event that our travel agency organized. The 8th, 88th, and 888th customers can go on a tour for free. I have a ticket for the 88th. Take it. Once you get on the bus, just follow the group.”

Fangzheng was dumbfounded. How could such a good thing happen to him?

The woman patted Fangzheng on the shoulder and said, “By the way, you will have to settle lunch yourself.”

When Fangzheng heard that, he exchanged looks with Red Boy. He could see the light in each other’s eyes. The thought of rejecting her instantly vanished.

“Thank you, Sis.” Fangzheng put away the card.

The woman pointed to a small door in the distance and said, “That’s our travel agency. Go over and make your registration. Leave a number and we’ll set off in a while.”

Fangzheng was surprised. “We will be setting off in a while?”

“Yes, it’s fast. Don’t waste time. Go on,” urged the woman.

Fangzheng had no choice but to bring Red Boy over. He handed over the card and exchanged for two tickets. Following that, someone led them to a tour bus. The moment they got on the bus, Red Boy subconsciously tugged at Fangzheng.

Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the back of his head, indicating for him to behave and not expose himself.

In front of the bus was a girl sitting in the first row. It was Fang Yunjing!

Fangzheng still had some impression of this girl. After all, she was one of the first batch of people who had ascended One Finger Monastery to offer incense. At the same time, it was also because of them that Fangzheng met Lone Wolf. Fangzheng’s first cell phone was given to him by Fang Yunjing, Ma Juan, and company… Furthermore, when Fang Yunjing’s family died in a car accident, Fangzheng was the one who brought her out of the psychological trauma.
