Weird Calendar

The third day of August.

After a night's rest, Qin Ze's body recovered a lot.

He was just exhausted, but he didn't really suffer any irreversible damage.

After this night, the thunderclouds had completely dissipated.

Qin Ze knew that he was about to experience two things.

The first thing is that he must go to the Buddhist Kingdom. Looking for the legendary Buddha Bell that can eliminate the desires of countless people.

Stealing the Buddhist bell, and then ringing the bell, plunged the chaotic royal court into a state of no desire and desire.

Only in this way can the King of Chaos be defeated.

The second thing is that Qin Ze can't sleep.

Once you fall asleep, you will be dragged into another place - the location of the fallen messenger.

Qin Ze does not think that the time has come now. If he wants to defeat the messenger, he may have to enter the realm of catastrophe.

To enter the realm of catastrophe, you must complete the first thing.

So Qin Ze could only force himself to stay awake.

Fortunately, for Qin Ze's current heavenly physique, staying awake for several days is not a big deal.

So Qin Ze and Jian started planning the first thing one by one.

After the thundercloud dissipated, the commander, Jian Yiyi, took Qin Ze back to Linxiang City.

There are actually people setting off firecrackers in Linxiang City.

At night in Linxiang City, firecrackers are ringing and fireworks bloom in the night sky.

People are partying.

Thinking that Lei Yun has destroyed the big devil.

The demon named Qin Ze, a member of the Dark Old Calendar Association, is dead.

From then on, all the Old Chroniclers in the world were good people.

Feeling the happy atmosphere of the city, the commander felt a little heavy in his heart.

Qin Ze and Jian, on the other hand, looked at each other and smiled.

"If they can be so happy, what we do is meaningful."

You can happily curse me and scold me because you are alive.

And you living is what I want to do.

At this time, the commander looked at Jian Yiyi and Qin Ze's smiling faces that had nothing to do with them when they were watching the fireworks...

I found that their thoughts had entered another realm.

He feels inferior to himself. How many people can let others decide what is right and wrong by themselves?

The three of them quickly arrived at the stronghold, Yunjin Tianjiang.

Mrs. Xu, Alice, Duke Chengwan, Commander, Su Ye, Jian Yiyi, Qin Ze, Cole.

That's all.

That night, everyone gathered in the living room of Mrs. Xu's house in Yunjin Tianjiang Community.

Of course everyone knew that one person was missing.

Lan Yu.

Su Ye began to tell what happened yesterday.

"I should have been the one who suffered the disaster. I can feel that special misfortune."

"But in the end the bad luck was transferred to Lan Yu, probably the same as Cole."

"But don't worry about Lan Yu. Jesus did not pursue me and chose to keep Lan Yu. There is a big problem here. If you should go to the old calendar world, go to the old calendar world."

"I'll handle it here in Linxiang City."

It's not that Qin Ze doesn't value Lan Yu, big stars are also noble people to him.

But Su Ye is right.

If among the many calamities, the biggest gap in strength must be the showdown between Lan Yu and Jesus.

But Lan Yu did not die and Su Ye was able to escape. This is enough to show that Jesus did not intend to kill anyone.

Qin Ze has actually discovered... Sometimes in life, many people have long discovered that the path they are taking may have been crooked.

But I just want to see, with an unwilling attitude, how far this road can go.

Pangu is like this, Shiva is like this, and Odin is like this.

Maybe Jesus, too, had his own ideas.

In short, since it is not murder, the urgency of the matter can be relaxed.

"The next thing to do is to fight against the Buddhist Kingdom. Since we are sneaking into the Buddhist Kingdom, we naturally cannot conflict with the monks head-on..."

"But it's too late for Qiu Yi. It will take a lot of time to wait for a suitable Qi Yi to sneak in."

"We will go tonight. After Shiva's death, it is likely to cause alarm. In any case, for Pangu or the Eternal Lord, what they have to do will speed up the progress."

"This is another battle for time." Qin Ze said.

Jian Yi nodded:

"In that case, Ozawa, how should we fight against Foyin?"

"I remember you said that you once heard that the Buddha's voice will make you give up all desires and fall into a state of spiritual emptiness, as if everything in the world is no longer important."

Qin Ze's face became solemn:

"Yes, this is something we must be wary of. You must know that since the Buddha's voice can silence the chaotic royal court, it must also affect you and me."

"The reason why I was able to get rid of it at that time was because the Buddha's sound was disturbed by babble. I used the babble to offset the effect of the Buddha's sound."

Mrs. Xu was quite satisfied when she heard this. The method of fighting fire with fire was quite interesting.

But now there is a dilemma.

Qin Ze sighed:

"Hey, but now there are no fallen gods in the fallen temple, so naturally there are no more babbles."

"We can't use this method to resist the Buddha's message."

"My current thought is...Mrs. Xu, can you have anything here to isolate the sound and hearing?"

Mrs. Xu nodded:

"Yes, but I can't say whether it can withstand the regular-level Buddha's Sound. What you guys have to face is a real alien god."

"The Buddha of Nothingness can be said to be the more powerful among the outer gods. He even surpasses the God of Competition."

"You will know when you get to the Buddha's Kingdom. I can't guarantee whether you can resist the Buddha's voice, but I will do my best to make such a prop."

"You'd better think about this clearly. The Buddhist Kingdom is a very dangerous place. If you fall into a state of desirelessness, you won't be able to come back."

Of course Jian Yiyi would not retreat. He looked at Qin Ze:

"It seems that the time has come to test our anchor. However, before leaving here, I have to make some preparations."

"Ozawa, let's set off tonight. My taboo today is also the recruitment."

…

…

Old calendar world.

In the old calendar world, which is many times larger than the real world, there is a magnificent Buddhist palace in a snow-capped mountain in the west.

Countless palaces emitting golden light stand proudly in the snow-capped mountains.

This is the Buddhist country.

The majestic snow-capped mountains are awe-inspiring, and the Buddhist palaces on the mountains that emit golden light make all the snow-capped mountains full of divinity.

This sacred meaning attracts many people.

The Buddha of Nothingness is the most powerful of the outer gods. It is also the one with the most believers.

It is difficult for outside gods to gain followers. Among them, the three with the most followers are the God of Competition, the Buddha of Nothingness, and the God of Killing.

Chief among them is the Buddha of Nothingness.

He has more followers than the God of Slaughter and the God of Competition combined.

Qin Ze and Jian Yiyi were convinced of this as they walked towards the snow-capped mountains through the snow.

Legend has it that there is a huge gold mine outside the snow-capped mountains.

It is said to be gold, but it is actually just a special ore that emits yellow light.

Countless monks are mining ores.

All of them have bald heads and a swastika symbol on their foreheads.

Of course, it’s not just people here, there are also things.

There are also many Old Calendar creatures. Among the Old Calendar creatures with abstract shapes, there is no such thing as a bald head.

Most Old Calendar creatures are either covered in hair or covered in tentacles.

But these monsters are also engraved with swastika marks in a place where they can be seen.

Regardless of whether they are people or objects, they are all wearing yellow monk robes.

All monks, regardless of race, have eyes full of peace and compassion.

That kind of desire-free look makes people feel that these people are enlightened monks.

They carry huge boulders on their backs, and their human bodies are almost all skin and bones.

The monsters are relatively good, but they all look thin compared to their group.

Most of those yellow monk robes were in tatters. In fact, the monk's robe was originally gray.

But because he had been carrying gold ore for a long time, he was stained with the color of the ore.

So it seems that there are countless yellow-robed monks walking on the road leading to the largest snow mountain.

Probably...a hundred thousand.

One hundred thousand Buddhist monks carried huge ores on their backs, and carried out ascetic practices with smiles on their faces and no desires in their hearts.

Qin Ze looked at this scene and felt inexplicably shocked in his heart!

It turns out that the magnificent, miraculous Buddhist palace...

There are so many "advanced monks" carrying huge rocks on their backs, spending countless time and countless flesh and blood to pile them up.

Qin Ze could even see the white bones under the snow.

There are 100,000 monks alive and practicing hard, but what about the dead?

This is the border of Buddhism, the Golden Well.

Outside the Golden Well, Jane saw a monk one by one. His knees were broken and he fell to the ground. The huge stone bent his back. It was obvious that he was not going to die soon.

But when Jane approached one by one and tried to save the monk, he found that——

The monk's expression was still extremely compassionate.

He suddenly felt disgusted with this expression.

"Amitabha, why is life so joyful and why is death so painful?"

With a compassionate smile, the monk died.

This kind of thing is not new, it happens from time to time on the way to the largest snow mountain in Buddhism.

These monks are unable to bear the weight and will die from physical exhaustion.

Until death, because there is no desire, there will naturally be no fear.

Jian observed them one by one for a long time and said to Qin Ze:

"Buddha country...has a problem."

This seems like nonsense. Qin Ze also saw that the Buddhist country had many problems.

"Ozawa, these monks have no desires or desires. It is said that this is the highest realm pursued by Buddha..."

"Without desires, there will naturally be no suffering. All living beings suffer, because all living beings have desires and are trapped by being unable to get what they want, separation from love, separation from love, resentment, greed, anger, ignorance, and loss of happiness and joy."

Qin Ze is not surprised at all that Mother Jian understands Buddhism, and he is not surprised that this person builds an atomic bomb one day.

Jian Yiyi said:

"But these people are all like serfs... carrying heavy loads."

"I think these heavy objects were used to build the palaces on the snow-capped mountains."

Qin Ze nodded:

"Yes. Without the desire for pleasure, you can naturally experience pain."

"Anyway, if you have no desire in your heart, you can only let others control you."

"I have always felt that getting rid of desire is escape, and overcoming desire is the right approach."

"Many people may seek Buddha just to avoid suffering and want to get rid of their desires. So Buddha takes away their desires."

"But after they have no desire, they no longer pursue anything that makes them happy, because in Buddhism, pursuing pleasure is greed."

"The complete lack of desire allows these people to endure pain while appearing satisfied, compassionate, peaceful and happy."

Jian agreed with Qin Ze's words one by one.

What the two of them see now is countless "advanced monks" feeling the suffering.

There is no difference between suffering and happiness.

It’s not that they don’t want to rest, but their desire to rest is quickly defined as “greed for pleasure.”

So, the enlightened monk once again carried the heavy boulder...

Qin Ze and Jian continued to move forward one by one.

Jian painted one by one in the wind and snow, putting a layer of "skin" on herself and Qin Ze.

This layer of skin makes Jian Yiyi and Qin Ze look like two monks.

Qin Ze had to lament that the profession of painter was turned into a wishing machine by Jian Yiyi.

Just draw whatever you want.

The two disguised themselves as monks and kept moving forward without any obstacles along the way.

Because all the monks are carrying heavy loads and heading towards the Snowy Mountains.

They have no time to care.

Occasionally I saw a monk going down the mountain to the Golden Well, and he only received a compassionate smile from him.

Since there is no desire, why should we be wary of enemies? I don't even care about life and death, let alone the invasion of foreign enemies?

Soon, Qin Ze and Jian arrived at the second stop of the Buddhist Kingdom one by one.

At this stop, there are still many monks practicing hard.

But for some reason... after approaching this station, many monks had other expressions on their faces.

This is where a large number of "second-order monks" are located.

The so-called second-level monks are naturally much higher than the first-level monks seen in the Golden Well.

This place is the second stop of the Buddhist Kingdom - Sexiang Valley.

The Golden Well is almost entirely occupied by first-order monks.

These first-level monks have compassion on their faces, but when it comes to the second-level monks...

Qin Ze saw some changes. Of course, most monks still have compassionate faces, but when they taste the delicious food...

There will be a look of admiration on your face.

It can be seen that they have an "appetite" for food. In other words, they have gone from having absolutely no desires to having a slight appetite.

Sexiang Valley is a place where countless monks eat.

Most first-level monks eat extremely unpalatable food that can only maintain their physical strength.

Some of the food even smelled bad.

But the second-level monks are different. The food of the second-level monks is obviously better.

Sometimes they would also mercifully give some delicious food to some first-level monks who worked too hard.

They will be considerate of lower-level monks.

But unfortunately, these low-level monks have no desires. They will shake their heads compassionately to show that they do not pursue their appetites.

So the food can only be eaten by the second-level monks themselves.

In the Sexiang Valley, the second-level monks will express their admiration for the delicious food.

Jian Yiyi said:

"These monks' robes no longer have the golden color, which shows that they are managers. It's strange... managers have higher desires than the coolie monks at the bottom."

Jane felt the irony one by one.

Qin Ze said:

"Perhaps, as time passes, the more senior monks become more like normal people."

"This is actually easy to understand. Just like in the real world, the people who often live the hardest, can endure the most hardships and rarely enjoy happiness...are the people at the bottom."

"The higher you climb, the people you meet may have higher realms, but it is also possible that they are more like slaves of desire."

"The monk we see now is still compassionate, but he has more appetites. But as the time goes by... he may have more desires, even... more exaggerated than in reality."

Jane thought about each one for a short while.

He looked at the Buddhist Kingdom on the huge snow-capped mountains in the distance and said:

"Perhaps this entire Buddhist country is just a huge scam."

Qin Ze noticed...Jian's mother's fingers clenched into fists.

It seemed that he had a fighting spirit.

The two continued on their way to the third stop of the Buddhist Kingdom.

That place is called Wenwen Township.
