Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
“Abbot Fangzheng, I’m telling you, this matter isn’t a joke. You are not allowed to just disappear!” County Head Qi knew Fangzheng too well. Having come so many times with Fangzheng disappearing every single time, he knew he had to inform him ahead of time.
Fangzheng was speechless. He suddenly realized that it wasn’t good to be so well-understood by others.
Fangzheng sneakily smiled and did not say whether he would disappear or not.
At that moment, County Head Qi received a phone call. Something urgent seemed to have happened, so he hurriedly bade farewell and left.
Once the county head left, Fangzheng hurriedly closed the monastery’s door and gathered his disciples. He said, “Salted Fish, if the government comes, just cooperate with them. As for the rest of you, no matter who asks about me, just say that I’m not here! Okay? This Penniless Monk is really not around!”
Just as the disciples were about to say something, they heard someone knock on the door.
Fangzheng was taken aback as he hurriedly said, “No matter who wants to see me, just say that This Penniless Monk isn’t here!”
With that said, Fangzheng ran to the backyard and secretly leaned over the wall to observe the situation.
Monkey and the other disciples were helpless, but Monkey still went to open the monastery’s main door. There were many people listening outside and looking at the stone slabs previously, but now that Salted Fish wasn’t there anymore, they naturally turned their attention to One Finger Monastery.
If One Finger Monastery were to continue having its doors closed, it would be a little inhospitable.
As soon as the door opened, a group of visitors rushed in. The incense offered soared into the sky like an azure dragon in an extremely eye-catching manner.
The disciples also began busying themselves, selling incense, maintaining order, acting cute, and taking photos… They were very busy.
When Fangzheng saw this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He thought, “Thankfully, it was nothing.”
However, just as he said that, Fangzheng saw a strange man walk into the temple.
This person’s skin was dark, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He was carrying a huge green canvas bag on his back as he held it down with one hand. It was as if there was something very important inside.
Fangzheng p.r.i.c.ked up his brows and was somewhat curious. After some thought, he jumped off the wall, cast A Golden Millet Dream, and walked out.
White Clothes said that the more deaths, the higher the remuneration. The closer the dead are to Fangzheng, the higher the reward. What if I blast Fangzheng to death? White Clothes’ voice still rang in the man’s ears. His heart grew increasingly nervous as he walked into One Finger Monastery as he subconsciously pressed the canvas bag tightly.
“Amitabha!” At that moment, a Buddhist proclamation sounded.
“Amitabha. Patron, is there anything I can help you with?”
The man’s heart palpitated as he suddenly turned around and saw a white-robed monk appear behind him at some point in time. The man stared nervously at Fangzheng before his eyes suddenly lit up. Even a fool could tell that there was a ferocious glint in his eyes.
However, Fangzheng acted as though he didn’t see it. He smiled and said, “Patron, is there anything This Penniless Monk can help you with?”
“Yes!” the man said.
“Patron, please speak.”
The man’s breathing was somewhat rapid. Clearly, he was extremely nervous. He whispered. “It’s hard to say here. Let’s go somewhere there’s not so many people.”
Fangzheng nodded. “Alright, let’s go to the backyard. Salted Fish and Jingxin, come over. I have something to arrange for you.”
When the man heard that, his breathing quickened.
Fangzheng appeared as though he knew nothing as he beckoned the man to walk to the backyard.
When Salted Fish and Red Boy saw Fangzheng run out, they immediately found it odd. Therefore, they put down their matters and followed him to the backyard.
When they reached the backyard, Fangzheng asked, “Patron, please speak your mind.”
The man raised his head slightly and looked at Fangzheng with a fervent look. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Ouyang Fenghua’s voice from outside the yard. “Come over here! I’m telling you, you have to apologize to Abbot Fangzheng!”
“No way! Although it all sounded nice, that doesn’t mean Fangzheng really knows divine powers.” Chang Yun’s voice sounded as well.
As they spoke, Ouyang Fenghua brought Chang Yun over. The two of them did not rush into the backyard, but stood at the entrance of the yard, hoping to shout something. The moment they arrived, they saw Fangzheng standing at the door.
Ouyang Fenghua immediately laughed. “Master!”
The man’s smile turned even more nasty when he saw another two people sending themselves to their deaths. He still remembered that the more people died, the more rewards he would receive!
Almost at the same time, the man roared. “All of you, die for Red Fiend’s glory!”
As the man shouted, he yanked his hand that was holding onto the canvas bag out with great force. A silver metal ring suddenly appeared on his middle finger. The moment the metal ring was pulled, it seemed like something was about to explode!
Boom!
The flames in the canvas bag lit up instantly and a terrifying force was on the brink of explosion.
At that instant, Chang Yun and Ouyang Fenghua failed to react in time. However, the moment the bomb exploded, they instinctively sensed death approaching. Their bodies were ice-cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cavern and were about to die in an instant. The two of them had no time to react or even think. All they could do was widen their eyes and wait for death. Despair, endless despair!
Almost at the same time, Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the head. Red Boy grinned and opened his mouth!
The man thought that he had completed his mission in a way that exceeded even his own expectations. His face showed satisfaction with a pa.s.sionate and crazy smile.
However, his smile froze the next moment.
Chang Yun’s and Ouyang Fenghua’s horror froze on their faces before it turned into shock.
Red Boy’s mouth was wide open. The flames in the cloth bag under the attacker’s armpit had just exploded into a fire-like tongue that flew into the air. Then, with a spin, it surged into the young monk’s mouth!
As for the metal fragments and steel beads that exploded, they seemed to have been drained of their strength as they fell to the ground with a loud rattle.
At that instant, the man was dumbfounded as he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He recalled the words said by White Clothes: “Although I’m unsure if Fangzheng really has divine powers, don’t touch him. Go to Mt. One Finger and blast apart a few ordinary people. It would be even better if we could kill a few of his disciples. Remember, don’t try to blow up Fangzheng! Don’t touch him before we have confirmed the intel.”
The man felt extremely bitter. He had been greedy, but the intel from White Clothes had also been wrong. Not only did Fangzheng know divine powers, but his disciples also had divine powers! This was not a monastery, it was a Buddhist kingdom!
“Patron, it looks like This Penniless Monk won’t die. In that case, why don’t you take a seat?” Fangzheng pointed at the nearby tables and chairs.
The man looked at Fangzheng with a complicated look before sighing as though he was resigned to fate. He followed Fangzheng and sat down on a chair. “If the bomb couldn’t kill you, what else can I do? Do whatever you want.”
Fangzheng smiled at Ouyang Fenghua before walking off after the man.
