"It's an imitation!"
Fangzheng nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood when he heard that. At the same time, he cursed himself. "Are you a pig? This bastard is famous for gasping for air. Why did he fall into a trap? "
Although he was cursing inwardly, Fangzheng also knew that he had no choice but to fall into a trap. A kasaya was no ordinary item.
The embroidered kasaya was also known as a Buddhist robe. The allusion likely came from the story of the Sixth Ancestor's legacy. There were two explanations for the Buddhist robe. The first was that the robe was an external form. The Buddhist robe referred to the words of the scriptures. The second explanation was that the robe referred to the words of the scriptures. The second explanation was that the robe referred to the words of the Buddha. It was to convert to Buddhism!
To put it bluntly, only with the kasaya could one be considered a regular Buddhist army in uniform. They were one of the Buddhists! Without the kasaya, no matter how well one described it, one would still be a ragtag army. There was no telling when they would be thrown out as cannon fodder.
Although Fangzheng wasn't to the point of being cannon fodder, he couldn't be considered a proper monk without proof. Yet, he wasn't allowed to renounce asceticism. He was stuck in the middle, and that was truly unbearable. Furthermore, the two times he participated in other monasteries' activities, people wore kasayas, but he didn't. Back then, he had rolled his eyes numerous times. Therefore, Fangzheng dreamed of a kasaya even when he couldn't renounce asceticism.
Now that he finally had a kasaya, and an embroidered one at that, how could he not be excited? In the end, extreme joy turned to sorrow. The moment he jumped up, he fell into a trap.
"System, you sure are ruthless!" Fangzheng said through gritted teeth.
"Don't be unhappy. Although you have some merit, how can it compare to Golden Cicada from back then? He gave up his golden body and descended to the lower realm to receive the Buddhist scriptures to redeem others. What sort of merit is that? With that bit of merit, it's obvious that it's impossible for you to have the same kasaya as Golden Cicada! But don't despise it. Although it isn't a high-quality imitation, it was made by Goddess! "
Fangzheng's eyes lit up when he heard that. Hands of Goddess? He had never seen the Goddess before, but it wasn't a bad idea to see what she made first! He even wondered if it was because the System couldn't bear to watch him fooling around on the mountain with a group of animals. Finally, it gave him some meat in disguise.
He heard the System say, "She is indeed a goddess. She was personally woven by Guanyin Bodhisattva's maidens. Although he had lost many treasures, he had used countless methods. This monastic robe was made of the Mysterious Underworld Silk that the Sea Cicada of the Southern Sea spat out. It was impervious to fire and water, and impenetrable to blades and spears. There are eighteen emeralds, twenty-four green agates, thirty-six pairs of green jadeites, and seventy-two dark green threads … "
The System rambled on and on, pausing in the middle as if it was taking a break.
Fangzheng listened with relish in the beginning, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was amiss. Why were the things on the kasaya green? Although he was a monk and was destined to be single for the rest of his life, the feeling of being green would make any male creature feel uncomfortable, much less a monk.
Just as the System was about to continue, Fangzheng hurriedly shouted, "System Bro, can I not accept this?"
"No!" This was the first time the System said the word "no." In the past, the fellow wished that Fangzheng didn't want it and would immediately take it back to earn some extra income.
Fangzheng was stunned. "No? Why? "
The System said, "The original owner of this item only had one request. Regardless of how it was obtained, they had to accept it! Besides, are you sure you don't want to hear all of its effects? You have to believe that the System's products are definitely excellent! I won't accept anything that doesn't have any special use. "
"Let's not talk about it first. I'm puzzled. That fellow said you had to accept it, but you listened? Why were you so obedient? "Fangzheng was puzzled.
"Well, we are recycling trash to begin with … Ahem, it's to take something from others. Of course, we have to listen to the person's opinion. So, keep it well! Remember, the System's products are not to be sold. You don't have to use it, but you have to keep it well! "With that said, the System vanished.
At the same time, a blob of yellow light appeared in front of Fangzheng. The yellow light shattered, and a soft kasaya appeared in Fangzheng's hand. The kasaya was cold to the touch, but it wasn't cold. Instead, after touching it for a while, Fangzheng's hand turned a little cold. The kasaya immediately emitted heat as though it was nourishing Fangzheng, maintaining his normal body temperature.
"Hehe! That's not bad. "Fangzheng marveled as he opened up the kasaya. He pulled it open with one hand and shook it into the air!
Whoosh!
The kasaya opened up!
At the same time, Fangzheng switched on the lights, hoping to carefully look at the first kasaya in his life. The moment he opened it, Fangzheng saw a swath of green in front of him.
The kasaya was entirely red, but the threads on it were green! The green light reflected off it didn't seem like ordinary green threads, but green gold! There were all sorts of agates, gems, emeralds … all sorts of jewelry and jade. Any random one of them was sparkling and translucent, without a trace of impurities!
Although Fangzheng didn't know much about jewelry and jade, he knew that any one of them could be sold as a priceless treasure!
Unfortunately, these things were a part of the kasaya. He could only see and touch them, but not sell them!
As for wearing it?
Fangzheng picked it up and draped it over his body. When he looked in the mirror, Fangzheng's face instantly turned ashen.
The kasaya had its own light effects! Green light! When the light lit up, Fangzheng's bald head actually reflected a little. Hence, his head was swathed in green. At a glance, it looked like a friend shining a light on the Hulun Buir Plains.
When Fangzheng saw this, he didn't say a word. He took off the kasaya and threw it on the bed. With a livid expression, he said, "Amitabha. Go wherever you want!"
With that said, Fangzheng didn't care what the kasaya represented. All he needed to know was the meaning of the green on his head.
Hence, in less than three minutes, he stuffed the kasaya into the bottom of the box.
Lying in bed, Fangzheng felt more and more upset the more he thought about it. He had gone to great lengths to save so many people, only to draw such an item. He felt like he had suffered a huge loss! Furthermore, this matter was a little strange. In the past, the System's products had never been this bad. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with the System this time. It had given him such an item!
The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Finally, Fangzheng couldn't help but ask, "System Bro, are you sure you aren't colluding with others to trick me?"
"A System's products are definitely excellent!" the System said.
