Chapter 1378: Lifespan
When Lu Yun heard that, she was clearly stunned. Then, she stood up and bowed to Fangzheng.
This time, Fangzheng did not dodge. Instead, he calmly accepted it.
Lu Yun said, “Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand now… I’ll go back and ask him to see what’s going on. If it’s a misunderstanding, I’ll apologize. If there’s really a problem, I’ll also enjoy every day of my life.”
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. “Amitabha. Patron, you are smart.”
Lu Yun smiled and left.
After Lu Yun left, Monkey gave him a thumbs up and said, “Master, that’s awesome! Did you think of such Zen principles yourself?”
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him and said, “Do you think I look like someone who has time to think about those things? Am I that smart? The books have Zen-like principles, so there’s definitely no mistake with reading.”
Monkey nodded immediately. He actually left to read.
Fangzheng chuckled as he took out his cell phone. He silently deleted everything he had searched on Zen principles from his cell phone…
After Lu Yun left the mountain, she immediately switched on her phone. Indeed, there were more than ten missed calls on her phone, as well as countless messages from her husband.
Lu Yun thought for a moment before replying: “Let’s talk when I get home.”
Her husband stopped calling her…
Upon reaching home, Lu Yun scanned the house once she entered. It was very clean and there was nothing strange about it.
Lu Yun’s husband, Gao Song, said with a bitter smile, “What are you looking for? I’m the only one at home. No, why did you run so fast previously? I couldn’t stop you even with my shouting.”
Lu Yun grunted. “What do you think? I went on a business trip, but left my identity card at home. When I came back to retrieve my identity card, I heard a woman’s voice in the house. What do you think I was thinking? If it were you, what would you think? I need a reasonable explanation right now!”
Gao Song’s face turned red when he heard that. “So it’s because of this… I thought you had left, so…”
Lu Yun’s gloomy face asked, “So what?”
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Gao Song quickly got up, switched on the television, and took out his phone. Then, he projected a program onto the television… Then he asked, “Is this the sound you heard?”
Lu Yun looked at the embarrassing scene and heard the familiar voice. It was exactly the same as what she had heard at the door. Immediately, her face turned red as she exclaimed, “You were watching this at home previously!?”
Gao Song threw up his hands and said, “What else? Have an affair?”
Lu Yun pounded Gao Song with her fist and said, “Lower the volume in the future. It’s easy for misunderstandings…”
Gao Song said, “What can I do? You are often not at home, so I have to find a way to vent… Sigh.”
Then, the two of them became stuck to each other…
At the same time, Fangzheng and his disciples sat opposite each other in One Finger Monastery, expressing their worries.
“Master, you said that the world will be destroyed? How is that possible?” Squirrel exclaimed in shock.
Monkey said, “Anyway, I believe in Master. But if the world is destroyed, we will be doomed, right? I don’t wish to die; what do I do?”
Red Boy mumbled, “Master, that’s a little ridiculous. A fine and dandy world destroyed just like that? Why do I find it unreliable news?”
Salted Fish also said, “I think it’s unreliable too. Master, do you think the world is destroyed just because you saw blankness? Couldn’t it be possible that you got cataracts?”
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him and said, “Tell me something reliable.”
Salted Fish said, “What’s reliable is that what you’ve said is unheard of. Buddha once said that everything in the world is possible, including the destruction of the world. But no matter how the world is destroyed, it will not be completely obliterated. There will always be something that will remain.”
Red Boy added, “My father also said that there are ten Great Daos, and when nine are taken, one escapes. No matter what happens, something will be left behind. It’s impossible for something to really disappear. There will definitely be something that fell through the cracks. For example, killing. Obliterating body and soul is the most ruthless thing, but so what if it’s destroyed? There’s naturally this person in other people’s memories, so there’s no way to completely eliminate any traces of a person.”
Fangzheng was taken aback when he heard that. He mumbled, “Could it be that I was wrong? But if the world wasn’t destroyed, why would the future I see be white?”
Red Boy said solemnly, “There’s a possibility!”
Fangzheng asked, “What is it?”
Red Boy said, “Cataracts! Haha, run!” Red Boy ran. Fangzheng was taken aback before he roared, “Jingzhi, attack!”
Salted Fish roared. “Don’t run! Eat my phlegm!”
…
After a while, Fangzheng found another empty spot to rest.
“System, I think Jingxin and the rest make sense. Are you mistaken?” asked Fangzheng.
The System said, “What they say does make sense, but I didn’t say that the whiteness you see must be the destruction of the world.”
Fangzheng was stunned. “What do you mean?”
The System said, “From the beginning to the end, I was only answering your questions according to your thoughts. You felt that the world was gone, so I talked to you about the destruction of the world. Is there anything wrong with that?”
Fangzheng nearly collapsed when he heard that. He had been worried for so long, but what the System had told him was nothing but nonsense!
Fangzheng once again had the urge to risk his life to fight the System. However, he held back and asked, “If it’s not the destruction of the world, what’s the situation?”
The System said, “I don’t know. I’m only in charge of your merit lotteries, not an answering machine.”
Fangzheng was rendered speechless. The System’s words didn’t seem wrong. He really couldn’t refute it.
However, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was fine as long as it wasn’t an inevitable destruction.
But the problem came again. If it wasn’t destruction, then why was the world blankness a year through the Heavenly Eye? Why was the world seen through the Three Lives Zen Staff also blankness? What was going on?
Fangzheng realized that the more he investigated, the more puzzled he became. Furthermore, there was no reliable answer to these questions.
“Sigh…” Fangzheng sighed and sat there looking at the distant mountains. He felt extremely conflicted. Should he spend his lifespan to see it?
“Lifespan? That’s it!” Fangzheng jolted to his senses when he thought of his lifespan. He asked, “System Bro, if one’s lifespan is depleted, can it be added? I mean, do you have anything that can increase your lifespan?”
“Of course.”
Fangzheng’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “How is it added?”
The System said, “It’s simple, but it’s also troublesome.”
“How is it simple? How is it troublesome?”
The System said, “I’ll help you do the math. If you use up all your incense money, you can barely raise Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Medicine King Bodhisattva by two levels. Triggering the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with Buddhistic medicine Spirit Qi, you will be able to gain a bit of True Yang. True Yang can cultivate spirit ginseng, and if you consume it, you can increase your lifespan by one year. Therefore, it’s simple because you can do it. It’s troublesome because there’s a lot of steps…”
