Chapter 66: Becoming a Monster?

“To brag so much, this monk sure isn’t someone that knows his place.”

“That’s right, he might even be a fake monk!”

“This monk really knows how to brag. I wonder what will happen if Master Baiyun hears of this. Heh heh… If they are somehow related by discipleship, he will probably be slapped to death.”

“Master Baiyun from Baiyun Monastery is like a godlike figure. How could he be bothered with him? If he really got involved, that would be some news!”

“That’s right.”

…

At the same time, there were people who went to Songwu County Hospital to gather information, and some even visited Lu Shuangshuang. Instantly, many people began to busy themselves because of Fangzheng.

On the contrary, Fangzheng was lying in bed laughing himself silly!

“Heavens! So much money? That fellow, Monkey, sure is generous. Hahaha!” Fangzheng was truly happy! He had been depleting the Crystal Rice, and he truly did not wish to continue eating ordinary rice. Even Lone Wolf showed extreme disdain towards the ordinary rice.

However, it was true that they were short on money. If they really finished eating the Crystal Rice, they could only eat ordinary rice.

He originally believed that the winter would be grueling, but he had suddenly gotten such a huge windfall. It would be suspicious if Fangzheng weren’t happy!

As he counted his wads of cash in the meantime, Fangzheng realized that he really did not resemble a monk at all!

“System, look at me. I am not suitable to be a monk at all. Why don’t you just let me leave the mountain?” Fangzheng mumbled inwardly as he lay in bed.

“Ding! You can choose to commit suicide and I will be able to choose a new Host.”

Fangzheng: “@#W$#^”

“System, I mean it. Why did you choose me? Baiyun Monastery is such a large monastery, and there are so many monks there. You could have chosen any one of them.” Fangzheng was puzzled. Why did he win this top prize?

“Buddha converts people and demons into Buddha, not Buddhas into Buddha. You are converting people, while I’m also converting people. You convert the humans of this world, while I convert you.”

“Uh!” Fangzheng was surprised. With the System saying that, he was truly a little at a loss for words.

Fangzheng rubbed his nose and said, “The problem is, I really do not want to be a monk! You want me to become a master with such an attitude? Even if I become one, wouldn’t I be a sham?”

“If your mind isn’t there, you will never become a master. If your mind isn’t there, you will never become Buddha. Becoming Buddha or becoming a master has nothing to do with one’s martial strength or magical powers. It has nothing to do with others but only your heart.”

“Then wouldn’t I forever not become a true master?” Only then did Fangzheng realize the seriousness of the problem!

“Merit – a hundred times merit can similarly make you one! Others can obtain merit if their heart is in the right place. You will simply need a hundred times the merit of others.”

Fangzheng asked, “Uh, can I ask how much merit is needed to become a master?”

“Others need a million merit points to become a master, while you will need a hundred million.”
