"Senior brother, senior brother…"
An urgent cry came from outside the door.
Following that, there was a "crack" as the door was pushed open from the outside.
"Senior Brother, why did you sleep in today? It's time to chant."
An old monk with a hunched back, holding a staff, staggered to the bed.
He shook the old monk on the bed.
When his withered hand touched the old monk on the bed, he said gratefully,"It's alright. It's still warm."
On the bed, Xu Tian was woken up.
He opened his eyes and saw a withered face that scared him.
His eyes were deeply sunken into his eye sockets. At first glance, he thought that his eyeballs had been dug out.
"Who are you?" Xu Tian asked subconsciously. At the same time, his body leaned inward, away from the old monk in front of him.
At this moment, countless memories flooded into his brain.
I transmigrated?
He even became an 80-year-old monk?
F * ck, is there a mistake?
After merging his memories, Xu Tian collapsed.
Eighty years old, what was the difference between this and announcing his death?
In his memory, this body was still seriously ill, and if he was lucky, he could live for a few more years.
If he was unlucky, he might die tomorrow.
Xu Tian's brows were furrowed with sorrow. At this moment, a notification sounded in his mind.
Ding!" Host detected. System is activating…"
"What's that sound?"
"What's that sound? Senior Brother, it's time for us to chant.”
The old monk turned around and left the room." Senior Brother, I'll wait for you in the main hall."
After the old monk left, a notification sounded in Xu Tian's mind again.
'Ding…Ascetic System activated.'
Xu Tian understood the system well. After all, transmigrators always had a cheat code.
Ascetic?
He was already eighty years old. With this sickly body, he might die tomorrow. How could he still practice asceticism?
You can't play with people like this.
The system seemed to have sensed Xu Tian's thoughts and instantly said,"
"Ding, the Ascetic System can increase the host's lifespan. Every step of one meter can increase the host's lifespan by ten seconds, allowing the host to break free from the restrictions of life.”
"Ding! As long as the host continues to practice asceticism, his lifespan will continue to increase. In fact, the system's additional reward can even make the host continuously become stronger.”
After hearing the system's words, Xu Tian's interest was piqued. He really wanted to know how many years he had left to live.
"System, how many years do I have left?"”
"Ding…20 hours 31 minutes 49 seconds…No, 48 seconds.”
One day…Ah, this…
Xu Tian was dumbfounded.
Just a second ago, he had asked how many years he would live, but in the end, it had not even been a day. This…seemed a little ungrateful.
"Are you sure?"
"Ding, that's right."
"Ding, does the host wish to start the ascetic journey?”
Was there a need to ask? Xu Tian got out of bed, put on his clothes, and put on his shoes. Everything was done smoothly.
After a while, a bag hung on his shoulder. Xu Tian grabbed his staff and broke out of the door.
The temple that Xu Tian was in was called Zhenshan Temple. It was built on the peak of Panyun Mountain in Ju Shan City.
Zhenshan Temple was 81 kilometers away from the nearest city. There was only one hall in Zhenshan Temple, and there were three stone Buddhas in the hall.
In the entire Zhenshan Temple, there was only Xu Tian and his junior brother, Worriless.
If he wanted to go down the mountain, he had to pass through the main hall.
In the main hall, Worriless was meditating on a praying mat. She was pinching the prayer beads one by one with her left hand and beating the wooden fish rhythmically with her right hand.
He chanted scriptures like a Sanskrit.
When Xu Tian was still two to three feet away from Worriless, Worriless, whose eyes were tightly shut, asked,""Why is Senior Brother Wuchen so upset?”
Dustless was Xu Tian's Dharma name, which meant that he was beyond the mortal world.
F * ck, how did he know? Xu Tian looked at Worriless, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Then, Worriless opened her eyes that were deep in her eyes and sized up Xu Tian.
His gaze landed on the bag on Xu Tian's shoulder. He stood up anxiously."Senior brother, you…you want to go on a long trip?”
"Yeah, a long trip." Xu Tian only had 20 hours left. He did not want to waste his time on this heart-to-heart talk.
Thus, he very naturally bypassed Worriless and strode out of the hall.
Worriless quickly stepped forward and opened his skinny arms to stop Xu Tian.
"Senior Brother, when will you be back?"
Xu Tian was stunned for a moment before he replied,""…Life imprisonment."
"Then what about Zhenshan Temple?"
Before Worriless could finish, Xu Tian put his hand on Worriless 'shoulder and said earnestly,""In the future, you will be the abbot of this Zhenshan Temple.”
Puff…As he spoke, Xu Tian gently patted Worriless on the shoulder with an expression of being entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
The truth was, after Xu Tian left, there was only Worriless in Mountain Suppressing Temple. If he didn't become the abbot, who would?
After hearing Xu Tian's words, two lines of tears flowed out of Worriless 'deep eyes and flowed down the wrinkles on her cheeks.
Outside the main hall, Worriless waved goodbye to Xu Tian with tears in her eyes.""Take care, Senior Brother."
Looking at Xu Tian's stooped figure, Worriless raised his head and glanced at the plaque with the words " Mountain Suppressing Temple " carved on it.
Tears streamed down her face as she said,"…I've finally endured until this day…"
After leaving Zhenshan Temple, the system notification instantly sounded in Xu Tian's mind.
"Ding, it has been detected that the host is walking on foot. A newcomer gift bag is now being distributed.”
"One Shennong Pill and nine Essence Replenishment Pills.”
"The Shennong pill has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. No matter what kind of disease it is, the medicine can cure it. At the same time, it can also nourish the body.”
"The Essence Replenishment Pill can repair the host's Qi deficiency, repair the host's bones and meridians, and strengthen the host's marrow.”
"Take note, take one Essence Replenishment Pill every nine days.”
Hearing the system notification, Xu Tian put the Shennong Pill in his mouth and slowly chewed.
Instantly, his hunched body stood up straight, and the soreness and fatigue in his limbs disappeared.
Then, he took out an Essence Replenishment Pill and quickly consumed it.
A stream of hot air flowed to his limbs and bones, and all the acupuncture points in his body were repaired.
In an instant, he felt refreshed and energetic.
"Ding! Host's first destination…Orange Mountain City.”
